Chapter Thirty-Six: Waiting for Lullabies

"Mama?" The woman recoiled.
"Don't call me that!" She took a quick step back from Videl, who's arm was still reaching for her. In response, Videl's own arm came back quickly and she stared at the older woman.
"What's wrong?" Videl asked. The others were just staring quietly, still in shock from being dropped, and the sudden appearance of the woman.
"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?" Gohan, and the two other people who used to be Timati and Spear, winced at her screaming. "You're back. You're not SUPPOSED to be back." She yelled. Videl just watched confused as the woman waved her arms around, screaming continuously. "You're not supposed to be here! You're supposed to stay away! You're supposed to be gone! You're ruining everything!" Videl couldn't help the wince of her own that last statement.
The woman walked towards her again and grabbed Videl's hair.
"Come here, you horrible girl. You need to make this right." Videl screamed as her mother pulled on her hair harshly and then started to drag her out of the room they were currently in.
It wasn't until Videl's whimpers were completely gone from his hearing did Gohan snap back and stand up.
"Videl!"

"Anyone want to play cards?" Goku asked, whipping a deck out. 18 rolled her eyes at him and left the room, Piccolo ignored him and Vegeta snorted, mainly though it was at his wife who nodded.
"Sure, what do you want to play?" She asked. Goku thought for a moment and then started handing her cards.
"We could always play war." he told her. Bulma looked at him to see if whether or not he was serious.
"War takes forever." She informed him slowly, wondering why on earth he'd want to play that. Goku shrugged.
"We've got time." Bulma nodded.
"Yeah, I guess we do."

The ground was cold and wet, but what Videl really noticed about where she was, was the glowing…thing, in the room. It wasn't very bright, so she just stared at it in wonder, trying to figure out why it did that. Her mother's hand was still tugging at her hair and she did her best to ignore it.
"You shouldn't be here - your mind is changing everything!" Her mother was rambling on, dragging her closer and closer to the still glowing…thing. "Your mind is making this dim - it can't dim, its not allowed to dim!"
Videl looked at the thing that she was 'dimming' and couldn't help but wonder what the woman was talking about. The thing was glowing so bright, she had no idea what shape the thing that was glowing was.
"OW!" She yelled at a more violent tug to her hair. Tears were in her eyes and she was doing her best to keep them in, thinking of her pride. The woman just pulled harder at her distress, causing Videl to bite her lip to make sure that it didn't happen again.
"How can you do this to me? My story, my masterpiece, my perfect life, I would have known it all…I would've known it all, if it weren't for you, you stupid little girl." Videl winced again from the words.

"What the hell are you doing, Vegeta?" 18 asked the Saiya-jin. Vegeta turned and glared at her.
"None of your damn business, android." Vegeta snarled. 18 rolled her eyes, crossed her arms and stared at him.
"What are you doing Vegeta?" Vegeta glared at her longer before shrugging and moving away slightly from the desk he was sitting at. Papers all over it. "What is all of this? Are you going back to school?" She asked sarcastically, or as sarcastically as she usually gets…
Vegeta snorted.
"Hardly. These are just…notes." 18 looked at him, waiting for him to elborate. "I'm trying to remember where we're headed. Wherever we're going…Bulma has no records of it." 18 nodded.
"Alright…so what's with all the papers?"
"I'm getting there. Bulma has no records of this planet so she isn't sure that the ship is going to survive the impact." 18 snorted.
"Gohan and Videl's ship made it, didn't it?" Vegeta could just stare at her for a few moments before glaring at her harshly.
"Did it?" She shut up and he waved his hand over the papers.
"I'm trying to figure out its exact location." She nodded.
"How will that help us?"
"If we're lucky, I'll know about this planet, and be able to tell you all some information about it." She nodded.
"And if you don't?"
"Guess we'll be waiting for something then.
