Chapter 38

Thursday Night

18 flipped through the channels on the TV extremely bored, nothing was on and she was here by herself. Krillin was out with Yamcha. And Master Roshi and Oolong were probably somewhere where the women were half-naked. She rolled her eyes in aggravation after seeing that nothing was on and decided to cut the TV off. What was the point in having it on if nothing was worth watching? She put the remote down on the couch and headed outside to get a little sparring session in.

Once she was outside she immediately began to get to work, throwing punches and kicks at speeds that could rival the power of a Super Saiyan. She barely broke a sweat as she did her katas, twisting and flipping around expertly as she did so. Her eyes were narrowed, her face full of determination as she sparred with her invisible partner.

She paused for a moment, just long enough to let out a yell as she powered up to her full potential. She continued shortly after she powered up, throwing as much force as she could behind her punches.

About an hour later, she was finally done. She slowly walked into the house, feeling no need to lock the door behind her, since she was on a island in the middle of nowhere, and headed upstairs to get a quick shower.

After she made it to the room she shared with her husband, she gathered her change of clothes and entered the bathroom, already having her mind made up to take a bath. She turned the water on and watched as it began to fill up the tub before turning to grab the bubble bath that was suppose to go in it. Afterwards, she dropped her towel and stepped in, immediately relaxing as the warm water hit her body.

She stepped out about thirty minutes later and exited the bathroom and began to get dressed. She paused when she felt a ki approaching and continued getting dressed when she recognized it as Videl's.

"18?"

"Up here Videl."

Videl looked up to see 18 walking down the stairs with one hand on her hip and the other hanging loosely at her side.

"Oh, hey…Where's the others?"

"Out."

Videl let out a sigh of relief, "Great. That's perfect. I wanted to talk to you anyway."

18 raised an eyebrow, but nodded her head, prodding her to continue.

"I'm going through a little drama at home and it's a little stressful, so I needed to get out. I don't want to hurt the baby after all."

18 nodded her head in understanding. "What's the problem?"

"This woman named Lime, she's supposed to be an old friend of his, but she's chasing after Gohan and he's too blind to see it."

"Are you stronger than her?"

"Yeah. Of course."

"Then beat her up," replied 18 as if it was the most logically thing in the world.

Videl shook her head no, "As much as I want to, I can't. If I do that then Gohan definitely won't believe me and I'll just be falling into Lime's trap. Plus whether or not I'm stronger than her, I'm pregnant and that'll be putting my baby in harm. This is one of those battles that can't be fought physically, but mentally instead. "

"Do you have a plan?"

"Not yet. But I need one soon. This has got to end."

"I have an idea."
