I forgot to mention this for, like, 6 chapters, but I don't own Dragon Ball, and thanks to everyone for reviewing!
*-The next morning: C.C.; 6:15 a.m.-*
Gohan woke up in the room that he and Sharpner shared and looked at the sleeping figure next to him. He smiled when he remembered last night.
=Flashback= Gohan, Chiyu, Goku, and Chichi, along with the other six kids, sat in the living room at C.C.
"Goku, you know she's gonna need a 'fall proof room', right?"
Goku looked over to Chichi.
"No, she just needs someone to say with her."
"But what if she gets up in the night and falls going to the bathroom, or to get a drink?"
"Well, I didn't think about that. But, I'm sure she'll be fine if we adjust the rooms for a week. Gohan will be home with his class and he'll be in the room with her."
"Okay, but what do we do with her until we find her a roommate?"
Gohan smiled and poked his head in between his parent's shoulders.
"I can keep her with me tonight." He stated with a smile.
Goku wrapped an arm around his shoulders.
"You sure?"
"Yeah! She's not talkative at night, she sleeps heavy so she won't wake up too early, and she doesn't have too short of a temper, so she's a good candidate as a roommate."
Goku looked at Chichi and she smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then. She'll stay with you tonight, and she'll come home tomorrow."
=End Flashback=
"Well, might as well get up and start my part of the project."
He whispered to himself as he got up. But, Chiyu sat up by him.
"Morning, Bubba."
"Did I wake you up?"
"No, I didn't hear anything. I just woke up."
"Okay. You hungry?"
She shook her head.
"No?"
"No. Just thirsty."
"Okay, come on, I'll get you a cup of water, okay?"
She nodded and stood up with him.
"You wanna get your sweatshirt on?"
"Yeah. Want yours?"
"Nah, I'll throw on a long sleeve real quick."
She nodded and grabbed her sweatshirt from the end of the bed and threw it around her shoulders as Gohan put his shirt on.
"Ready?"
She nodded and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders to brace her… Just in case. Once they walked away from all of the rooms, she asked him.
"Gohan?"
"Yeah?"
"Did Gohna ever tell you about the field trip to the house?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Darn! She wasn't supposed to tell you! I had a feeling she did!"
"Well, when I saw your head poke out from the door my heart almost stopped!"
She laughed.
"Well, then it was worth it. By the way, I have another question."
"Shoot."
"Why do you want your friends to watch that clip of the Cell Games? Didn't you want to keep that under wraps?"
"Well, the other day, Videl and Erasa were talking about the delivery boy."
"Wasn't that what they called you after you delivered the final blast to Cell?"
"Yeah, exactly. They don't know it was me, but if one of them starts researching, then I'm all over for. Anyways, whatever way, they'll find out eventually."
"That's true. Especially if they were lucky enough to watch it. Remember how I told you that Mom let me go train; no questions asked?"
"Yeah. I thought that was kinda weird, but decided not to press it."
"Well, that was a complete cover-up. It took a lot of Dad's convincing. But, he only told me this a few years after the Cell Games that he convinced Mom earlier on."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"You know, I'm surprised that she still lets you train."
"So am I."
She giggled and their walk ended when they got to the living room.
"Go ahead and sit down. I'm gonna get something for us to drink, okay?"
"Okay."
She walked over to the couch and stopped as she suddenly felt dizzy.
*-Kitchen-*
"Hey, Gohan. What're you doing up so early?" Bulma asked, sipping her coffee.
"I don't exactly know. Just an instinct, maybe?"
He grabbed a glass from the cupboard and filled it ¾ full with water.
"Thirsty?"
"Nah, Chiyu said she was thirsty."
"She's up, too? Where is she?"
He felt for her Ki. Not feeling it, he started to get worried.
"I left her in the living room, and I'm guessing she passed out again. Hopefully, on the couch."
They looked into the next room as Vegeta walked downstairs. Then he looked to his left, and suddenly disappeared around the corner.
"That's never good," Bulma stated monotone.
Gohan shook his head in response.
"Is it better to wait in here or go out there?"
"Probably to go out there."
He walked into the next room to see Vegeta lift Chiyu onto the couch.
"You're lucky I came downstairs when her Ki dropped, Kakkabrat."
Gohan rubbed the back of his neck.
"I felt it, that's why I came in here."
"Sure, sure. I already told you that you need to keep a close eye on her."
"I know. I just went to get her a cup of water real quick!"
"Stop arguing. Don't you have a project to start?"
Gohan stopped and his eyes widened slightly.
"I do, actually. I'll go get my stuff and sit in here with her."
"Don't worry, just go in there and start. I'll watch her."
"You sure?"
"Yes, Kakkabrat. Now go do it, and maybe your class will get out of here sooner."
Gohan raised an eyebrow, but decided not to further the questioning.
"Umm, okay, then. Thanks, Vegeta."
Gohan ran upstairs to his and Sharpner's room. Vegeta scoffed.
"That boy," he said as he turned to Chiyu.
"Your brother's an idiot, you know that?"
He smirked. Vegeta thought back to the times Chiyu would always sit with him and ask him to take her somewhere. Even as mean, ruthless, and angsty as he was/is, he always, for some reason, gave in to Kakarott's Daughters.
'Am I becoming weaker in my mentality? Or is it just that they have the same effect on people as Kakarott does? Whatever way, I can't let anyone know.'
Oh! Is that a soft-spot I sense, Vegeta? Watch out, it might come back to bite you! Anyways, If you're still reading and you've reviewed, thank you very much! Even if you haven't reviewed, I appreciate you supporting the story! Have a great day/night!
