Bloomer banged on the front door of the Son family house. 'Goku!'

'Bloomer, relax.' Groaned Yamcha as she followed him. 'I'm sure everything is fine.'

'Goku!'

'Sheesh, Bloomer!' Goku said, coming from his grandfather's hut. 'What are you trying to do, wake the dead?!'

'Where is Vegan?!'

Goku sighed and rolled his eyes. 'Really?'

'Where is she?! I demand that you tell me.'

'I don't have the energy for this.'

'Is she ok?' Trunks asked.

He hadn't seen his mother in 6 months. Naturally, he was concerned.

'She is fine.' Goku assured. 'A sparring match got too rough; she's resting.'

'And you couldn't tell me that?!' Bloomer flared.

'I would have if you agreed to help me.'

'I want to see her.'

Goku rolled his eyes and rubbed his eyes. 'Bloomer-'

The front door flew open, and out stomped a lanky girl with Vegan's armor and face.

'Why is it so loud?!'

'Olive-'

'Where is the princess?' She demanded.

'Olive, calm down.'

She folded her arms and scowled; a black tail unwarped from around her waist and thrashed about.

'You have a tail!' Cried Yamcha.

'Aren't you the bright one.' She turned to Goku. 'I want to see her!'

'She's in here.' Goku motioned to the hut. 'Just be quiet-'

'Maybe if she hears my voice, she will wake up.' The girl stated firmly.

'Maybe Trunks and I should go.'

'No.'

'I'm sorry, who are you?!' Trunks demanded as he jumped out in front of her.

'She's Olive!' Goku said quickly. 'Just be quiet-'

'I need to be near.'

'I want to see her, too!' Bloomer nearly screamed.

'Kakarott, who are these people?' The girl demanded.

'Trunks and Bloomer-'

'We're her family!' Trunks announced. 'Who are you?!'

'I'm her daughter!'

Bloomer turned to Goku; he sighed and rubbed his eyes. 'Olive-'

'Goku, what's going on?' Bloomer demanded. 'Tell me.'

'I'm sure Vegan will explain everything.'

'Then get her here.'

'Vegan isn't yet conscious, just-'

'I need to see her.' The girl cried in a mournful voice, sounding precisely like Vegan. 'You don't know how much I need this.'

'Goku, let us see her first! Trunks need to see his mother!'

Olive turned to Bloomer. 'She's my mother too!'

'I think you're lying!'

'And I think you're pathetic for using your child to see the princess just because she rejected you!'

'Excuse me, but you don't know what the hell you're talking about!' Yamcha barked.

'I haven't seen my mother in 6 months!' Trunks asserted.

'And I haven't seen my mother in 17 years,' Olive countered, 'I think my need trumps yours!'

'Everyone, calm down!' Goku screamed. 'Vegan is unconscious and will not force her awake because of you, Bloomer.'

Bloomer glared at Goku as Olive approached him. 'I need to see her.'

'Calma.'

'What?'

'You don't understand our language.'

Bloomer didn't know that Goku could speak their language; maybe Vegan taught him.

How long has she been here?

'When the princess recovers, I will be sure you are the first person she sees.'

'Wait a minute,' Trunks exclaimed, 'I want to see my mother!'

'Can we please go inside the house?' Goku said. 'I don't want Vegan to listen to your yelling.'

'They started it.' Olive proclaimed.

Goku whispered something to her; she paled and nodded, then flew off.

'Where'd she fly off to?'

'To the river, she inherited Vegan's need to be clean. Eighteen is almost here; I'll explain when she gets here.'

!

Eighteen and Krillin walked into a tense house; everyone seemed uncomfortable. Both Bloomer and Goku looked pissed, and Yamcha, Gohan, and Trunks looked nervous, but Piccolo looked calm as always.

'Hey, guys,' Krillin said slowly, 'what-'

'Okay, she's here!' Bloomer flared. 'Now tell me what's going on!'

'Hi, Eighteen, Krillin.' Goku chirped, ignoring Bloomer. 'I haven't seen you guys in a while; how have you been?'

'Goku,' Krillin said with amusement, 'it's been a week.'

'Still, it's good to see you.'

'How long has Vegan been here?'

'Since she left Capsule Corp.,' Eighteen said.

'And no one thought to tell me?!' Bloomer flared.

'No one thought you cared.' Eighteen flared back.

'Did anyone think of Trunks?!'

'Uh, Goten mentioned that mom was here.' The boy said quickly.

'What?!'

'I knew mom was here.'

'Why didn't you say anything?'

'I wasn't ready to see her.'

'Trunks-'

'What's going on?' Trunks demanded. 'How and why is that girl claiming to be my sister?!'

'Olive?! Olive is alive?!' Choked Eighteen.

'You knew about this?!' Bloomer gasped.

'Yes, she told me when I was pregnant.'

'And when you find out?' He turned to Goku.

'When we were in space.'

'On Namek?'

'When she was looking for me, I found her on a planet called Odayaka. She was exiled there when she was younger.'

'And no one told me?!'

'A dead child isn't an easy thing to discuss.' Eighteen pointed out.

'When Olive was born, Freiza ripped her out of Vegan's arms.' Goku said.

'Why didn't she fight?' Asked Trunks.

'Vegan was on a mission when she went into labor, both of which nearly killed them.'

Eighteen noticed Bloomer looking out the window, staring at Goku's hut.

'Why didn't Vegan sense her energy?' Yamcha flared.

'She didn't learn how to do that until she copied us on Namek.' Gohan countered.

'I just think it's fishy that she has a teenage daughter and forgot to tell anyone!'

'She didn't forget.' Eighteen snapped. 'Freiza's been manipulating her entire life. Have you forgotten about Planet Vegeta's destruction?!'

'What happened to planet Vegeta?' Asked Trunks.

'Freiza destroyed it and told your mother a meteor destroyed it.' Goku said. 'He killed everyone, even her father.'

Trunks looked at Goku, then out the window at the hut. 'Mom doesn't talk about life before Earth.'

'Freiza stole Olive from Vegan's arms while she slept, then told her that she was born dead, then on Namek-'

'What did he tell her on Namek?'

'He told her that he killed her.'

'What happened to Vegan exactly?' Eighteen asked. 'Why is Vegan unconscious?'

'Olive told Vegan who she was, and she fainted.'

'Why didn't you tell me that?!' Bloomer flared.

'I would have if you said yes!' Goku flared back.

'What did you want help with?' Yamcha huffed, rolling her eyes.

'I wanted him to do a DNA test; I didn't want to get her hopes up.'

'Where is the girl?' Krillin asked.

'Bathing in a nearby river.' Goku said, yawning. 'I'm going to check on Vegan.'

'Let me.' Bloomer said quickly.

'It's OK.' Goku replied.

'No, I have to see her.'

'I wouldn't want you to feel obligated to care.'

'You can kiss my-'

A knock on the door broke the friction between the two men; the door crept open, and in walked Goten and his mother.

'Is everything ok?' Asked Goten meekly.

'Yes.' Goku and Bloomer looked away from one another.

'Is everything alright?' Chi-Chi said quietly. 'Did Vegan wake up?'

'No.'

'Where is she?'

'In grandpa's hut.'

'She's not upstairs?'

There was something accusatory in her voice that Eighteen didn't like, and it must have rubbed Bloomer the wrong way, too, because he said, 'What are you implying?'

'Nothing.'

'What brings you by?' Goku asked, changing the subject.

'Concern, only concern.'

'Phone calls can quell concerns.'

'No one is answering!'

'I told you that it's nothing for you to worry about.' He said, attempting and failing to be calm.

'I wanted to see for myself!'

'Are you that's all you wanted to see?' He replied in the same accusatory tone.

She glared at him as their sons shifted uncomfortably.

'I brought some clothes for Vegan,' Eighteen replied, 'maybe some of them can fit-'

'Goten and I can take them,' the two boys rushed to Eighteen, 'Trunks, do you want to come with us? Maybe they will fit Olive too.'

'Ok.'

The three boys rush out the door, and Chi-Chi turns to her. 'Olive?'

...

'Who's Olive?' Goten demanded as the three boys headed to the river.

Gohan wanted to walk; Trunks figured he was in no hurry to get his brother back to the yelling.

'Well, she said that-'

'She said that she is my sister.' Trunks flared.

'Your sister?!'

'She was stolen from Vegan when she was a baby.' Gohan replied. 'she looks just like her.'

'She's not my sister!'

'Was she attacking Vegan?' Asked Goten.

'No, Vegan fainted.'

'Oh, is she nice?'

'No!' Trunks flared.

'She's fine.' Gohan said. 'She's been alone for 17 years; she came here searching for Vegan.'

'Is she like us?' Asked Goten.

'Like us?'

'Does she have a human dad?'

'No.' Gohan confessed. 'I don't think so; I believe she is purebred.'

'Are you saying that Goku's her dad?'

'No, there were two other sayians besides our dad. A sayian called Nappa and a sayian called Raditz, our dad's brother.'

'Which one is her father?'

'I don't know.'

'What do you think?'

'It'd be cool to have another pureblood sayian that my dad didn't sire.'

'Yipee for you.'

'I thought you said you hated your mother now.' Goten pointed out. 'If she has Olive, she won't bug you now.'

Trunks turned red and looked away as Gohan laughed. 'That doesn't mean I want to be related to her.'

'I'd want a big sister.' Goten said quietly. 'I miss Videl.'

Gohan stopped and looked away; Trunks didn't understand why he and Videl broke up.

He understood why his parents did; he didn't like it, but he got it.

Nothing like what happened between his parents could ever occur between Videl and Gohan.

'You can have Olive.' Trunks replied to lighten the mood.

'Let's find her.' Gohan replied quietly.

He hurried ahead of the two boys; Goten turned to Trunks. 'It'd be pretty cool to have a girl sayian.'

It would be cool to have a sister, thought Trunks. A little half-blood sister like him.

But since when was he crushing on girls?

Trunks rolled his eyes and turned to his blushing friend. 'You're into girls now?!'

'Girls are pretty.'

'Since when?'

'Three months ago.'

'And you didn't tell your best friend?!'

'I didn't realize that we were still friends.'

'What's that supposed to mean?!'

'You don't come by anymore.'

'Because I don't want to see my mother anymore.'

'You don't invite me over anymore.'

'She might follow-'

'You don't call.'

'Neither do you!'

'It's hard to talk to someone when they hate you.'

'I don't hate you.'

'Could've fooled me.'

Trunks stomped away from his companion and rushed to find Gohan; he was acting like a baby.

He followed Gohan's ki and found the teen standing next to some tall trees and bushes in front of the stream. He seemed transfixed by something in the water.

'Gohan?'

Trunks looked at the river, then threw Gohan a disgusted look; he was watching Olive bathe. He was perving on Olive; he hoped this wasn't the case with his mother.

'Olive!' Trunks called, scaring Gohan out of his stupor.

'Trunks?!' Gohan jumped. 'You startled me.'

He looked away as Olive approached, unabashed about her nude body.

How could this immoral woman be related to his mother?

'We brought you some towels and clothes.' Gohan handed the things and abruptly left.

'Where did he run off to?' Olive questioned.
