CHAPTER 3
"I always knew how fragile my relationship with the others was, and knew that they were able to barely stand me because of my wife Bulma and Kakorott." Vegeta said pensive.
"Huh? Why is that?" Maxine asked him.
"It's a long old not forgotten and not forgiven story. Now where was I again? Oh yes, Goten."
Since that girl came into our lives my son and Goten became her personal escort somewhat. I think they liked her, particularly Goten. The boy was infatuated by her.
"Hey Dee Dee?" Goten said to Delilah one day while she was driving toward the Capsule Corporation to join the others who had gathered there to help Gohan with his book.
"Yes Goten." She replied while writing notes on her laptop.
"I know how busy you are helping my brother writing his book and all, but do you think you can take some times off so you can go to the school dance with me?" Goten asked while blushing lightly.
"Sure, I can do that." She replied without lifting her eyes from the screen.
"Great!" He replied relieved and thought 'I am one step ahead of you Trunks hehehe.'
"Hi Dee, Goten. We've been waiting for you." Trunks said while opening the door for them.
"Sorry for being late Trunks." Delilah said.
"It's ok, let's go join the others." Trunks replied and they followed him to the living room where everybody was chatting gaily while Bulma was serving some snacks. Delilah began to do a résumé of what she had gathered so far and remarked.
"Are you sure you guys aren't pulling my legs? I mean this whole story sounds more like a science fiction than a memoir. Anyway at some point most of you have been dead more than once during the course of your life if that makes any sense at all." Delilah said skeptic.
"It's true miss we did die, but we were able to come back to life with the help of the dragon balls." Tien said to her.
"It is true you can believe us." Gokou said stuffing his face like usual.
"Everyone on this planet who is born before the defeat of Majin Buu died at least once during their lifetime that includes you miss." I said to her which left her speechless.
"Krillin and I are the only ones who died three times." Chiaotsu said.
"Oh yeah that's true. I got my neck broke by Tambourine, blew up by Freeza and turn into chocolate bar and eaten by Buu!" Krillin said while pulling on his hair and everyone began to enumerate how many times and how they died.
"How depressing?" Delilah whispered.
"Oh wait! I made a mistake I died twice." Trunks said grinning.
"No you didn't! We both died once when kid Buu blew up the planet." Goten said.
"Nope, I got killed by Cell also." Trunks pointed.
"No, way were you just a baby during that time sweetie!" Bulma said.
"You're wrong, what about my future self?" Trunks said.
"Doesn't count!" Goten said.
"Yes it does, I was there during the Cell game and fought with him while you were just an embryo in the belly of your mother." Trunks said to his friend.
"Correction Trunks-sempai, he wasn't even conceived yet." Delilah corrected, while Chichi dropped her glass which broke into thousands of pieces.
"Are you ok Chichi-san you look pale?" Bulma asked while helping her clean up.
"What do you mean he wasn't even conceived yet?" Trunks asked.
"Yea?" Goten said.
"Well your birth date is ten months after the end of the Cell game and if I remember correctly Vegeta-san told me that Saiya-jin women have a shorter pregnancy seven months to be precise and your mothers approved to this. They only carried you all for seven months." Delilah lectured to them; it was an explanation that got everyone attention.
"If that's true Goten shouldn't be even here." Yamcha said.
"Why is that?" The red haired girl asked.
"Because Gokou died during the Cell game remember. He sacrificed himself to save us all when Cell was going to self-destruct." Yamcha explained to her.
"Well, of course I know that the Cell Game was on TV and I got everyone stories down and…" She started to stay but stop on her track, and I think at this moment she knew what happened and was ready to change the subject but it was already too late.
"Anyway if Goten wasn't conceived he wouldn't be a Saiya-jin which he is because he can turn super!" Trunks said.
"Yeah if what you said is true miss, it would mean that Gokou isn't the father." Krillin said.
"That's stupid! Of course Gokou is Goten's father because if he isn't it would mean that…" Bulma began to say then gasped. She turned her head and everyone followed her gaze and for some reason they were all looking at me.
