Chapter 13 – Spread The Word!
Goku appeared in the familiar living room of Kame House. He turned around and saw Master Roshi asleep on the couch with several of his magazines strewn around him. He laughed quietly and then looked around for Krillin. "Hey Krillin? You up there?", Goku called towards the stairs.
After hearing the calling voice, Krillin came downstairs to see who it was. As he reached the bottom of the stairs he saw Goku and promptly smiled. "Hey there, Goku! What brings you way out here?"
Goku grinned when Krillin got downstairs and walked up to him. "Krillin! I've got some wonderful news to tell you!"
"Oh really? Don't tell me Goten's getting married or something." Krillin joked, laughing to himself with a sly expression on his face.
Goku laughed. "Iie. Iie. It's nothing like that. It's about Bulma!"
"Bulma? What about her?", Krillin asked, a look of concern and confusion crossing his face.
Goku continued, "Trunks has come up with this great idea! We're going to bring Bulma back!"
Really?! No way! I can't believe it! And after all this time, too! I bet Vegeta and Trunks sure are happy about this, and Bra too."
Goku nodded. "Hai. Trunks came over a few minutes ago and told me all about it."
Krillin grinned in excitement. "Man, this is so awesome!" he exclaimed, holding his fists up in delight.
"I'm a little surprised that none of us thought of this earlier. It's a brilliant idea!" Goku acknowledged.
Krillin straightened up again, while cocking his eyebrows. "But Goku...how exactly are we going to bring her back? The Dragonballs aren't able to---"
"I know. I know." Goku interrupted and extended his right arm out to stop Krillin's questions. He had a look of seriousness on his face as he looked back up at his friend and began to explain. "Earth's Dragonballs can't. But nobody ever said that about Namek's Dragonballs!" he said, while a grin crept across his face once again.
Krillin blinked. "You're right! I never even thought of that! So, I guess this means we're going to Namek again, right? Wow, this is great! Leave it to Trunks to come up with an idea like that." he said with a slight chuckle.
Trunks landed in the front yard of Capsule Corporation and walked inside. "Tousan! I'm back!" he yelled through the house.
After getting no response and not sensing his father's ki anywhere close, he shrugged and mumbled to himself, "Maybe he's off training or something." He proceeded through the house to see if Vegeta was anywhere around. He approached the gravity room, seeing the door was closed, telling him that his dad was in there. He peered in through a window and saw Vegeta from a side view, training with his usual determined expression. But when he looked closer, he noticed a stream of tears running down his face. "Huh?" he whispered to himself. "I--I can't believe what I'm seeing. Kaasan, being gone this long, must be harder on him than I thought." He quickly and quietly backed away to leave, before Vegeta saw him, and headed for the kitchen to get something to eat and to leave Vegeta to his thoughts.
Vegeta stopped, breathing a little heavy. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed out in a sigh. "It's been too long, Bulma.", he said out loud. "I miss hearing your voice. I miss seeing you lying beside me at night." He curled up his fists, but didn't clench them tight and laughed faintly. "Heh, I even miss the way you used to argue with me." A tear slid down his face. He ran a hand over his face to brush it away as quickly as it fell. Getting a determined look on his face, he tilted his head back and looked up at the ceiling. "Don't worry Bulma, things will change. You won't be so alone anymore." His face softened a little. "I'm sorry Bulma. I really am." He then turned and walked over to the door, shutting off the gravity and leaving the room to get a shower.
Trunks made his way into the kitchen. "Man, I can't wait 'til things go back to normal around here.", he said to himself while pulling some sandwich meat, bread, and some other condiments out of the fridge. "I can just see the day when Kaasan comes back. I can't wait to see Tousan's reaction." He grinned and looked up. "I wish you knew just how much you're missed Mom."
Meanwhile at Kame House, Goku and Krillin had stepped outside so as to not disturb Master Roshi, who was still asleep on the couch.
Goku continued explaining. "Hai. We're planning to take Goten, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Trunks, you, and me to Namek. That way we can find the Dragonballs faster." He grinned at the sound of the idea.
"Well, that sounds like a plan. When will the wishing be?" Krillin questioned.
"Roughly in about seven months. That's how much longer there is until we can use the Dragonballs again." Goku answered, folding his arms casually, while shifting his weight.
Krillin held his chin in his hand and raised an eyebrow, looking up towards the sky as if in thought. "Hmm…yeah that sounds about right."
Goku unfolded his arms and straightened up a little. "Yeah. Well Krillin, why don't you go ahead and tell the news to Juuhachigou and Master Roshi and I'll go inform the others, ne?"
Krillin dropped his arms by his sides again. "Yeah, ok. I'll see ya later, bro." He smiled and shook Goku's hand.
Goku returned the gesture and smiled. "See ya Krillin!" He stepped back from his friend and placed two forefingers on his forehead, disappearing momentarily afterwards.
Reappearing seconds later in a colder climate, Goku began looking around. "Piccolo?" he called out, his voice echoing off the mountainsides.
His attention was caught by a huge blast exploding not far in the distance.
Goku turned his head sharply to face the blast. "Well that must be him", he said to himself with a slight laugh. He then flew to where the blast was and recognized the tall green warrior facing a mountain with a rather large hole blown in it. "Hey, Piccolo!"
Without turning to face him, Piccolo answered, "Hello Goku. I knew that was you I sensed." in his usual grim-sounding voice.
Goku smiled a little. "Well anyway, I've got some amazing news to tell you! I---"
Cutting the Saiyan off in mid-sentence, Piccolo stated, "There's no need for you to explain, Goku. I already know of Trunks' plan."
Goku leaned back a little in surprise. "Wha--? But how??"
"Well when you're disturbed in the middle of the night, and are too distracted to meditate any longer, you can hardly help overhearing." Piccolo said with a hint of agitation in his voice while slightly turning his head to see Goku.
"Oh, well that explains it." he replied chuckling slightly. "So, uh, Piccolo. What do you think?" he asked with a grin.
"All I can say is..." he began. "Vegeta has been fighting with his feelings ever since she died." He turned his head back around. "He tries to hide it, but I can see it in his eyes. Bringing Bulma back will make things between them a lot better."
Goku nodded in agreement. "Hai. Gotta agree with you there."
"I'll go with you on this quest. You never know what could happen when you venture across the galaxy to other planets."
"Alright." Goku said while nodding shortly. "I'll see you in seven months then." He backed away a little while once again placing his fingers on his forehead and vanishing into thin air.
Piccolo smirked and said out loud, although he had already gone. "Yeah, see you then, Goku." He then resumed his training.
