Androids battle: aftermath.

After the intense battle the Scouts and Darien finally had the chance to realize that they were no longer in the Tokyo. In fact they were not even in there own world anymore. The one that called himself Goku said that these strange surrounding were earth, but it looked nothing like the earth they knew. It was almost too much to take in all at once. They really didn't know what was going to happen to them. Or even where they were going to stay for the night, but that was riddle that was solved when Chi-Chi and Bulma showed up.

Bulma was miffed about missing the battle, but after rummaging though the parts of 18, she was a bit happier. Now her attention had been turned to the scouts. She was devishly interested in where the mysterious people came from, and what was up with the costumes? Why did that one guy look like a throwback from the musical 'Phantom of the opera'?

But the explanations would have to wait because it was getting dark now. The night air was bad for chibbi Trunks, and he needed desperately a change of diaper! Rini has passed out shortly after the battle.
Goku had come up with the great idea that the girls could stay with Bulma at Capsule corp. (just like every other monster and alien that has come before them.)
Bulma had no problem with the idea, in fact quite excited about it, however she said that Darien couldn't come along. It just wouldn't be proper.
She pulled a cell phone out of her pocket and called back to Capsule Corp to have them send two cars to come pick up 'the visitors', to which Chi-Chi laughed.
She asked Bulma what her mother and father was going to think about these girls.
Bulma told her that Her father and mother were away for and wouldn't be back for 6 months.
That is when Kuririn told Bulma that he was going to Kami house and Darien was welcome if he wanted to stay with Master Roshi. And when Vegeta heard this, he was all for going to Kami house too. He wanted answers. Soon all the guys said they would go to. Darien however was not too pleased with the situation. First he could not stay with Serena and Rini, and now he would have to go off somewhere with a bunch of guys that he knew nothing about. Bulma told him not to worry that none of them would hurt him and then she proceeded to make Vegeta promise that he would not hurt him. Vegeta was too quick to answer, which only meant he wasn't being truthful, but Bulma knew that as long as the other guys were there he wouldn't do anything to Darien.
Darien was a bit more pliant now that he had heard Vegeta promise that he would not do anything. He said he would go but not until the cars came to pick up Serena and the girls. He wanted to make sure that they would be safe.
Most of the guys left long before the cars got there. All that remained were Gohan and Trunks.
Serena and Darien stood together holding each other. She had put her head on his shoulder and Darien was watching Lita holding the sleeping Rini.
Serena took her head off of his shoulder and looked into his dark eyes. There was so much there, now a confusion that she had never seen in him even when he didn't know anything of his past. He looked lost, standing before a Great Chasm now, and only Serena was holding him from falling off the edge. Then he spoke.
"Do not worry my love I will be fine. And we will figure all this out." He said running his finger down her cheek.
"I hope so, I am worried for Rini, and even though you say not to, I am worried for you too."
"Well what ever happens I will ALWAYS love you and Rini. Serena." He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. Then Darien saw that the cars were coming up over the hillside. "You have to go now. You have to take care of Rini." Darien said pushing Serena gently in the direction of the cars that were now pulling up to a stop.

He waited and watched as Serena and the girls piled into the two cars.
He was smiling on the outside but in the inside he felt the quiet creeping of sadness rolling though him in agonizing waves.

Amy was soaking in all the information that was coming from her mini-computer about her analysis of the Cars that were actually hovering. She was thrilled by this alone.
Raye however was not so thrilled she was nervous about going with Bulma in 'those things' as she put it.
Bulma assured her and the rest of them that the hover cars were quite safe that they had become the standard mode of transportation in this world. Raye shrugged her apprehension off "Hey its ok. It's only my first time riding in a hover car that's all." She said. Though she was really thinking about what was happening back home with her grandfather and Chad. She was wondering if they were ok.

As the Cars pulled away Darien watched them leave when Trunks came up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Are you ready to go?" Trunks asked in a soft tone of voice.
"Sure I guess but how are we going to get there??"
"We fly of course." Gohan answered excitedly
"I can't fly." Darien answered
"You don't have to worry about that Darien. I'll carry you." Trunks said now smiling.
"OK, you I like. You very powerful, yet you have none of the attitude that powerful people tout. Still are you sure that you can fly while carrying me?"
"Thank you, very few people ever compliment me. And Yes I can fly with you. It would be the first time and most likely not the last time either." Trunks said and with that he grabbed Darien by the cape and took to the air powerfully and gracefully. Gohan did the same.

Capsule Corp. Bulma Chi-Chi, and the Scouts. 7:30pm

The Scouts were shown the ground of the immense Capsule Corp Compound. They were shown the places that could be roamed freely and the places that required clearance. Then they were shown their room, which was a very big room that almost looked as if it was prepared for just such occasions.
Bulma and Serena paid a visit to the Nursery. Where Bulma put Trunks down for bedtime, Serena put Rini in the same bed and the two children curled up together as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Serena and Bulma both found this adorably cute.
After they were sure that the two of them would be ok. Serena and Bulma both met up with the others in a large room filled with a bunch of pillows and a table in the center.
[See Room Map]we went with artwork on the seating arrangement!

"You know we really need to thank you Bulma for letting us stay here. We don't know where we would be right now if not for you kind hospitality." Mina said with a smile as she sat down on a large pillow next to Amy. The others agreed
"Oh please do you know how long it has been since I have had girls around to talk to?" Bulma said setting a large jug on the table.
"Well what about me Bulma I have been around."
"I said girls not old maids Chi-Chi!"
Chichi fumed "Hey your older than I am BULMA!"
"Well I look younger than you CHICHI!!" Bulma fumed back.
Chi-Chi was about to say something else
"Well you will never have to worry about gossip when Serena is around. She could write the world's gossip column if it weren't for the fact that she can't spell." Serena was shocked. Raye continued "Yah and if it's cute and male than she knows about it!"
"Thank you Raye!!" Serena said, biting back what she really wanted to say.
"Oh but stay away from her cooking! It's a killer." Mina added
"Mina!!!" Serena whined "how could you turn on me too!?"
"You have to admit that your cooking skills are not the best in the world." Lita said.
Everyone in the room laughed except Serena, She Cried.

"Well I hate to spoil the amusement at Serena's expense but there are much more pressing matters we need to attend to." Amy said breaking up the laughter.
"I agree, like first of all how did you get here." Bulma asked
"Well where is here? This is earth you say, but we too are from earth, and this earth is nothing like ours." Lita said.
"Yes, anyway we were fighting a heart snatcher when…"
"What the hell is a heart snatcher." Chi-Chi asked interrupting Amy
"They are these icky demon things that steal pure heart crystals from pure souls to make themselves more powerful." Serena whimsically replies "That is when that spiky haired veggie guy showed up.
"His name is Vegeta, and I was just getting to that." Amy says with a little frustration in her tone.
"Vegeta, Veggie, close enough." Serena says
Bulma burst into laughter. "Anyone could make that mistake." She said calming a bit to ask. "So he showed up in your world first?"
"Yes, but that is not the weird part, when he showed up all of a sudden Rini stated calling him Daddy." Mina said
"WHAT?!" Bulma shouts, as her and the chair that she was sitting in both falls backwards.
Everyone gasped.
"Oh this is getting good!" Chi-Chi said scooting closer to the conversation.
Bulma gets up and reaches for the jug of saki. She pours a glass and then downs it. Then pours another and says "Well I don't know about you girls but I could use a drink." Then she downs that glass.
"Do you think that you can pour me some too?" Serena asks
"Um, Serena do you think that is wise, do you remember what happened last time?!" Amy scolds
"Sorry Amy but I think that I'm going to have to go with Serena on this one.
"Me too." Raye says
"No Doubt." Mina adds.
"I don't usually drink, but I think that even I will have a glass, or two." Amara says
"I agree." Michelle noted.
"Well, I guess I don't see how one little glass would hurt." Amy says giving up. Bulma looks around then slams yet another glass. "So what you are all telling me." Bulma says. "Is that the little pink haired girl is Vegeta's Daughter?!"
Serena Jumps up. "That spiky haired brute is not my daughter's father!!"
Bulma chokes on some of her next glass. "Rini is your daughter?!?"
"But you don't look a day over 12!" Chi-Chi says
"Hey I am 16, thank you very much and she is not my daughter of this time she is my daughter from the future."
"Oh, so she came back from the future to be here now. Well that makes sense. We have one of those too. Let me guess she came to save you from some new evil." Chi-Chi says finishing a glass.
"No, actually the time that she lived in was a very dangerous time. She was training to be a Sailor Scout, but my future self thought that it would be safer if she trained in this time." Serena said.
"Umm, ok I guess." Bulma said looking at Chi-Chi with an odd expression on her face.
Lita picked up her glass she took a deep drink then inhaled softly letting the warm vapors fill her body.
"You know what?" She said. "The coolest part was yet to come. What was cool was her new transformation. With those bright green eye and that spiky, glowing platinum blond hair that was DA BOMB!! (Cheesy pop culture US dub)
"I know and what was that attack that she used oh what was it? Kamikaze, Karma-Chameleon?" Raye asked
"How about KaMaHaMaAh?" Chi-Chi said
"Yeah! That was it!" Mina replied
"Well that settles it. Vegeta is Rini's father. But more important, A female Super Saiyajin!!"
"WOOOHOOO!!" Chichi shouted jumping up.
"YEAH! CHICK POWER!!" Bulma says jumping up to give Chichi a High-5.
"Will you guys stop saying that. Darien is Rini's father!"
"Well Serena Rini is born in the future." Amy announced.
"And nothing is set in stone, things can change." Lita adds
Serena protested "I will never hook up with that Vegetable headed obnoxious brute!!"
"You think that now." Bulma says smiling. "Sure, at first you're running for your life because he is trying to kill ya, but then he grows on you, and BOOM, 9 months and 22hours of labor later you decorating the baby's room, and I should know, I have Trunks to prove it!"
Chichi was laughing as well as the girls, but Serena did not find it funny at all. Nor did Amara and Michelle.
"You know that is all fine and good, but none of this has explained how we got here." Amara says speaking for the first time in a while.
"Yeah, we were driving down the road some 500miles away from you guys, when poof we were standing there on the battle ground, now how do you explain that?" Michelle asked.
"Yeah how do you explain that Amy, miss theory girl." Serena says jumping on the bandwagon.
"Well.." Amy said taking a few moments to translate brain activity into coherent speech. "My hypothesis is as stated: The vortex energy displacement ratio abstracted the Advanced Scout energy causing a matter rift resulting in equal energy relocation, sufficient enough to close the Vortex." She looked at Bulma who was thinking about what she had said. Amy began to worry that she had not explained in words that anyone could understand.
"That makes sense." Bulma suddenly said. The others were obviously lost. "Basically the vortex used the largest energy source available to close its self unfortunately you guys were the power source and you got pulled along for the ride."
The room made a collective "Ahhhh…."

Kami House: Special Forces and Darien
7:30

"Alright Cape Boy I want answers." Vegeta Demands as Darien sits down.
[See room map]
"Well I can tell you what I know." Darien replied with a vicious leer at Vegeta.
"Well talk already."
"Fine, I am Darien Chiba, Prince of earth Kingdom, or the earth that I know. I am the guardian of the Sailor Scouts."
Vegeta just glared
"I long time ago in the silver millennium, there was a Queen named Serenity, she ruled over the Moon Kingdom. At that time there was peace throughout the universe. Then on day came the evil Queen Beryl, she was ruler of the Negaverse Kingdom. Or the evil energy so much like the Yin and the Yang. Well this time the Yang overcame the Yin. She attacked and laid waist of all that was the Moon Kingdom. Serenity 'the eternal' was no longer eternal, and she now faced the most destructive force in the known universe. Using her last bit of energy she sent her daughter, her daughters court and me into the future so that we might be reborn to live out our lives peacefully, but this was not possible. Our powers had been suppressed, only to be awakened, again when Queen Beryl found the earth again. Serena the princess of the Moon Kingdom managed to destroy Beryl by calling on the power of her court. It was something that her mother could not do, even in her prime. Serena was destined to become ruler of earth.
Serena became Sailor Moon the Champion of Love and Justice.
Her court were protected by their respective planet to become the SailorScouts
Amy, Sailor Mercury
Raye, Sailor Mars
Lita, Sailor Jupiter
Mina, Sailor Venus
And myself was known only as Tuxedo Mask, or Moonlight knight, ok and Prince Darien. King of the Earth Kingdom.
Then others came that we didn't know about. There were others that were saved by Serenity in her last moments of life.
Amara, and Michelle. Or Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune as scouts.
Hotaru as Sailor Saturn, the sailor of destruction.
Ever since we have defended the world from the nega-powers that are bent on destroying it." Darien finished by taking the jug of Saki and drinking strait from it.
He took several deep plugs of the saki as if he hadn't drunk anything for days and this would be THE only thing that might quench his thirst.
"But why does that little pink-haired girl thinks that I'm its father??" Vegeta huffed
"I have no Idea, but she is MY daughter!" Darien said taking a few more swills of the saki.
"You know other people might want some of that." Kuririn said watching him having his way with the saki jug.
"Do you want some??" Darien asked
"Not really."
"Then shut up."
"Yes, sir!"
Kuririn was in no way afraid of Darien, but didn't want to start a confrontation with him either.
"Well good then, at least we both agree that she is not my Kid!" Vegeta said now that he had Darien's attention.
"Vegeta how do you explain that she is a Super Saiyajin? I'm pretty sure that he is not Saiyajin." Goku asked.
"Kakarotto stay out of this!" Vegeta snorted
"Ok Vegeta I was just trying to help." Goku replied
Vegeta takes down 2 more mugs of saki. Trunks had been watching silently. Sipping on his glass of Saki. When Kuririn asked "Hey Trunks didn't you say something about Serena being your step mother?"
Trunks think carefully about his reply.
"Yes I did." He says "I'm not sure why, but I think I did."
They were all confused this.
"Did you, or did you not say that." Vegeta asked gruffly "This is a simple question."
"It's not a simple question Vegeta." Trunks said pausing to gather his thoughts.
"Oh now this is intriguing! What the hell are you saying boy!" Vegeta shouted
"Damnit I don't know! Its like I have two sets of memories. They are both competing for dominance in my head right now. The one that I knew is not so clear anymore. The one that the Androids killed all of you is fading from my mind. It's being replaced by very vague memories of my stepmother and sister, Serena and Rini. I can't tell you anything about these memories because I do not know which is right. Time travel is too tricky."
"That is a load of bull!" Vegeta said standing up. He moved toward Trunks in a manner that would suggest violence, but Goku stood up to stop him
"Vegeta give him a break! Goku says putting a hand on Vegeta's chest to hold him back. "He has not lead us astray before, why should we doubt him now? Here have some more Saki and sit down." Goku put a second jug on the table.
Goku handed him a glass of the fermented rice wine that Darien was pouring down his throat in great quantities.

Meanwhile out side Master Roshi sat on his favorite lawn chair with a bright halogen glow stick stuck in the ground next to him. It was shedding off enough light that he could read his magazine in peace though he was not really reading it but more listening to what was going on inside.
"What do you suppose they are talking about in there?" a voice came. Roshi saw that it was Taro coming from the sea.
"From what I can gather that Darien character is telling his whole life story."
"Sounds boring.
"Well that's why I have my 'Chick Pix Magazine'
"You always have those."
"So I'm a lonely guy, I don't get many female visitors out here."
"Have they figured out who the kid belongs to yet?"
"I don't know but if it is Vegeta's kid he gets more than anyone I know!"
"Not everyone you know, I get some constantly."
"WHAT?!!"
"Hey what can I say, there are plenty of lonely female turtles in the sea!"

Capsule Corp the girls
9:00

Bulma turned to Chi-Chi "Chi-Chi, would you be a dear and to get some more saki and snacks please?" she asked wobbling a bit
"Sure if you think that you can take some more saki." She said sarcastically
"I can handle it."
Chi-Chi grabs the empty jug of Saki and heads out the door whistling a tune.
"So Bulma, tell me more about those guys that we met earlier." Serena asked
"Yeah cause some of them are cute. Especially that guy Goku." Mina added
Bulma Put her finger to her lips "Shhh, don't say that too loud. Chi-Chi is his wife; she is also the strongest woman on the planet. That is if you don't count Rini now."
"Oh…" Mina said.
Bulma takes another drink. "Any…way, Goku is a Saiyajin that came from the planet Vegeta when he was very young."
"Vegeta like as in the guy? Serena asked
"Well yeah, Vegeta is the prince of Saiyajin, he's a dork, but still royalty. The planet is named after his family. He was named after the planet.
"So he's is Vegeta Vegeta from the planet Vegeta?? Amy asked
"Yep."
"And he is a brat Prince." Serena asked
"Yep, but he is one of the most powerful Saiyajin warriors." Bulma says taking another drink "Anyway Goku and Chi-Chi had a son, Gohan whom is very powerful for his age, he is half human and half Saiyajin, which has proven to be a perfect mix of two species. They make powerful warriors. Piccialo trained Gohan. You know the green guy with the antennas?
"Yeah I saw him, is he an alien too?" Raye asked
"Yep a Namakien from the planet Namek, which got blown up. As did the planet Vegeta, they were both destroyed by a very powerful guy named Frieza."
"Wow one man could destroy a planet?!" Lita asked in amazement
"Sound evil to me."
"He was, one of the most powerful people in the universe." Bulma answered
"Was??" Amy noted
"Yes, was, Goku defeated him. It seemed like 4 weeks of power struggle, but in reality is was like 15 minutes. (Nod to DBZ's tendency in the extreme dragging out of the length of a battle!) Goku had to harness the power of the Super Saiyajin. If Rini is a Super Saiyajin then she got the ability from Vegeta. But at the time even he didn't have that talent. Goku was the only one that could do it. And he used the awesome force to destroy Frieza. Frieza was later brought back by his father King Cold. He was a Cyborg now and almost twice as powerful. That was when my future son Trunks showed up, but I didn't know he was my son then. He had come to warn us about the androids that you girls saw, but he found Frieza, and to our amazement he was a Super Saiyajin and to top that he easily defeated Frieza, and King Cold.
"Wow that sounds like a cool Video Game I once played." Serena said
"Believe me that was not a game." Bulma warned.
Amy took her glass and shot it cold. She was beginning to like this Saki thing.
"So there are others right, or at least I saw others on the battlefield." She said
"Wha…oh…yeah right. Tien, you know the one with the third eye. He is the protector of a little guy named Choutsu, who is an emperor from some planet or something.
Yamcha is another of the fighters. He is not as strong as the others are, not as brave either. Then there is Kuririn; He is both brave and sensitive. He is loyal to Goku; hell he's loyal to everyone. Kuririn, Goku, Yamcha and I have been friends since we have been kids. Even Goku was a strong little fortune cookie back then.
And that about covers the Special Forces." Bulma said guzzling down another glass of saki.
Meanwhile Chi-Chi walks in with a tray for cookies and some more Saki.
"Ah perfect timing." Bulma said grabbing the saki up and pouring another drink. Lita, Ray, and Serena did the same.
"So what did I miss?" Chichi asked setting the tray on the table.
"Nothing much really. Bulma was just telling us about the Special Forces." Amy said sipping her saki. She seemed more relaxed.
Lita lay back on the floor. She exhaled and said, "You know what guys. Tien, I think that he is kinda cute. He reminds me of one of my ex-boyfriends."
"Yeah, except for that whole extra eye thing of his." Raye remarked.
"Hey I don't think there is anything wrong with a guy having one extra eye, just as long as all the other parts are right."
"What do you mean? Amy asked grabbing a cookie.
"Oh you know…tongue, fingers, feet…other things.
"Oh…ok."
"Lita I think that you a little tipsy." Raye commented
"Yeah Lita, all three of you are. So is the room." Serena said squinting her eyes. Then she began to fall over but Mina caught her and set her back up right.
"Serena you are hammered girl!" Lita said laughing.
"Yeah Serena, you drank too much!" Raye said casting an ugly expression at her.
Serena starts to wave her arms around in Profusion "You know wha..t. I hate this! How coulld thinnngs have gone so wroungg." She said sloshing.
"What the Trans-dimensional warp thing?"
"Yah, the trransdimngnal wrap thing, No, no…it was sso simmple, I was going to get merried and have Rini and be queen of Crystal Tokyoo, but no that Veggieable guy showed up and BOOMB! Its all history." Oh, my love I'm sooryy for something, where is Darien I need him now and…"
"Shutup Serena, god I knew we souldn't have let her drink!!" Raye grumbled
Suddenly Serena fell backwards and went out cold.
"Oh geeze she passed out, ugh." Mina said
"Well speaking of passing out I am getting really tired." Raye Said standing up to stumble just bit.
"Oh man me too." Lita agreed as she stretched.
"Yep it has been a long day. I'm tired too." Mina said looking at her watch. It was broken.
Amara and Michelle stood up together. "Well Michelle and I are going for a walk that is if it's ok with Bulma."
"Its cool." Bulma said as the two of them left the room. "But what about Serena?"
"Just leave her there. She'll be fine." Raye answered "Hey, what about you Amy? Are you coming to bed?
"No, I think I'm going to stay up for a while."
Bulma turned around to see Amy sitting there on the floor by her self. "Well I'll be up too Amy, if ya want to talk you can come with me." She said
"Hey that would be great." Amy answered.
Amy stood up and stretched. The girls left the room and headed for they're room. Any and Bulma were about to leave to when Chichi stopped them. "Hey well what about me. Who will talk to me if you two leave?!?" She cried.
"Those girls need some sleep, now you are welcome to come and talk with us but I can bet that you'll be bored or lost by our conversation." Bulma said grumpily (the way she always talks to Chichi)
"Fine, I don't have to take this I'm going to bed!!" Chichi said storming out of the room.
"Oh, you know how I said that Yamcha, Kuririn Goku and I were friends since kids, well she was there too…there to bug us, always!"
Amy let out an uneasy laugh.

Kami House: SF and Darien
9:00

Gohan had quickly found this conversation boring and he was tired of being ignored, soon he began to nod off. He was asleep in no time, and anyone know that once a Saiyajin is asleep there is NO waking him up unless he wants to wake up.

Vegeta however was still trying to grill Darien with more questions, and absurd questions too, like how did he end up in Darien's world in the first place, and why Rini if she was his child looked nothing like him. Darien couldn't answer and in fact he was getting more and more drunk by the moment. He knew that the drunker he would get the better he would feel.
Vegeta just could not understand what was happening. And even thought he would never say it, he was quite interested in the girl and her mother. But mostly his interest was for the girl who was as powerful as any super Saiyajin at such a young age. "She could not be more than 11or 12 but she had such power and control" He thought to himself as he stared at Darien. The room had become silent now. But what bothered him the most was the fact that she was…well a SHE. Vegeta had never seen a female Saiyajin, let alone a Super one. He was sure that she was not his child but as he thought more about it, even on the slim chance that it was his child he would be proud of her. Though that too he would never be able to admit, or would he?
They all had been drinking quite a lot except Goku who told them that drinking was against everything that he believed in. and Piccialo who was a plant…(need you any more explanation.). Darien most of all had been drinking the most. He was very intoxicated now and found it hard to sit up anymore.
Darien said wobbling back and forth.
"I hate this." He said waving his arm around, and then he made a crimson rose appear just as a magician might. "It was all written in stone, he said "I was supposed to get married to her, we were supposed to awaken the world and become King and Queen Of Crystal Tokyo together. And we would have a child together." Darien points the rose a Vegeta as a dark look comes onto his face "BUT NO…he had to show up and (whoosh, Darien throws rose) nothing is as it should be." With that he slumped back unconscious.
"Ummm…" Kuririn trembled as he looked up to see the rose embedded in the wall about in inch above his head "I think he should watch where he throws those things."
"I think he knew what he was doing, only I think he was aiming for Vegeta." Goku said chuckling
"Shut-up Kakorotto." Vegeta bellows "It is not my fault, cape-boy can't hold his liquor." He takes another shot of saki and says. "If he wants to whine like a woman let him."
Piccolo, who had watch and listened to every thing quietly, walked to the door. "Goku we've have all the information we will learn tonight. I'll meet you a Capsule Corp. Tomorrow." He left.
"Piccialo is right. We'll see you later Goku." Tein, Chosue and Yamcha left as well.
"So what now, Kakarrot?" Vegeta pointed to Darien. "Cape-boy is out for the count." He turned to Goku, with a wicked look in his eyes and smiled. "Do you know how to play poker???"

11:30 Bulma and Amy.

"You know what kiddo." Bulma slurred, as Amy and her walked slightly wobbling down the hall. "I like you, you're smart."
"I should say the same thing about you." Amy smiled.
"I wish everyone else would think that way. I get treated like I'm some airhead blond." She spins to look at Amy. "I have BLUE hair, not blond hair. BLUEHAIR!!!"
"And you have such nice blue hair." Amy giggled.

Bulma continued with her rant. "But that's not all I have, My mind is always full of great ideas… Like collecting those parts of the android. I'm going to repair and reprogram her. ((Author's note. In this series 17&18 were Machine based like 19, and not human based, like in the show!!!)) I get that from my dad, who happens to be a genius. My genetic makeup destined me to be a inventor, it in my blood."
"I have never thought you were a airhead. You understood what I meant, when I gave my theory about the vortex." She paused and smiled. "Now Serena. She can be a airhead at times, but her heart is in the right place."
"Well, thanks Amy." Bulma smiled too. "I knew you'd understand me…"
"Now me on the other hand, I'm always treated like a super brain. Sometime I think the only time the girls want me around, is when they need help with their homework, or if they need me to look something up. I just want to be a fun loving ditz sometimes and never have a care in the world."
"See we are a lot alike… I want to be taken more seriously and you want people to take you less seriously. Hey…" Bulma said excitedly. "Do you want to see some of my inventions???"
"Sure."

Amy and Bulma stop at a door marked 'Bulma's lab'. Bulma opens the door watching Amy's eye's light up in wonder. Amy was in awe at what she saw. Before her were rows of computer parts and other cool looking gadgets, in the center of the room was what looked a giant round spaceship.
"And another thing is that we're both single…" Amy faltered off.
"What do you mean?" Bulma asked.
Amy looked around to make sure no one would pop up and hear what she was about to say. "If I tell you something you'll have to promise not to tell anyone else!"
"Ok, I love secrets."
"You know that Darien guy? Well I have always, even before Serena and him got together, have had the biggest crush on him… Still do!" She sat on the floor, and Bulma joined her. "So the both of us have had our man stolen by that meatball headed blond, sure she didn't do it on purpose, but she still did it!"
"Hey your right!!!" Bulma's forehead scrunched up. "But she hasn't even done it yet…" She just shrugged the thought off. "Oh well, you know what. She can have him! Sure he's a stud in… Oh never mind, but he is always so grrr… and is always blowing something up. And it's always 'Kakorotto this', 'Kakorotto that', or 'get me this woman', 'bring me food woman' like I'm has personal 'Servant Woman'. Well if she wants him she can have him… and if she can change him, more power to her." Bulma put her hand on Amy's shoulder and asked. "You know what would be fun right now???"
"What?"
"Karoki!!!"

The Grounds of the Capsule Corp Compound.

Amara and Michelle had been walking along a wooded path on the grounds of the compound. They found a quiet spot near a pond and sat down. Listening to the sound of crickets, content with looking up at the night sky. Neither one spoke for a while, they just pondered all that has happened. Finally Amara spoke.
"The sky seems so foreign, I know this is another Earth, but their stars are not the same as ours."
"I know Amara, Even their moon is gone." Michelle sighed. "So what do we do now."
"We are going to do our job. We'll continue protecting the princess." Amara tossed a pebble into the pond. "Even if we have to protect her from herself."
"What are we going to do about Rini? She seems pretty sure about that Vegeta guy is her father."
"There is not much we can do about that now, but I think it would be in everyone's best interest if we make sure Serena stays as far away from Vegeta as we can keep her!" Amara looked at Michelle.
"You really think that's going to be a problem? Serena in love with Darien, she would never leave him."
"I don't know Michelle, I just have this really bad feeling that everything is about to change." She stood up and put out her hand to help Michelle up. "You might be right, but let's not take any chances. You ready to go in."
"Yeah, lets go."

Kami House: 11:30

The water around the island glistened under the clear night sky. A gentle breeze rustled the palm trees. Piccolo stood on the roof of the house. His cape stirring in the breeze, as he listened to the robust laughter coming from inside the house. He was going over the events of the battle in his mind. 'Rini's power levels are immense. Her power levels rival that of the grown Trunks. Which leads me to believe that despite all the protests to the other wise, Rini IS Vegeta daughter.' He blasted off the roof. 'But, I need to find out for sure, before I talk with Goku.' He headed for Capsule Corp.

Meanwhile inside the house…

"I'll see you and raise you twenty." Trunks tossed a few chips in to the pile in the center the table. He adjusted the cards in his hand and smiled wickedly. "Goku?"
"I'm in." Goku added chips to the pile. "I'll see you and raise you fifty?" Goku looked at the grumbling Vegeta.
Vegeta just growled, looking at his dwindling pile of chips. He picked up his remaining chips and tossed them in. "Fine, I call." He laid down his cards. "Full house, Ace's high." He looked smug.
"That beats me." Goku laid down his cards. "Two pair." Vegeta looked at Trunks.
"Well?" Vegeta questioned. Trunks just laughed.
"I guess that makes it six hands in a row for me." He put his cards down. "Royal flush." He grabs the center pile of chips.
"You must be cheating." Vegeta bellowed. "No one can be that lucky at cards!"
"If you can beat Mina at cards…" Trunks laughed. "You can beat anyone."
"What?" Vegeta asked. "What did you just say?"
"What did I say?" Trunks looked confused.
"You just said, 'that if you can beat Mina, you can beat anyone?"
"Hmmm… Did I?" Trunks questioned.
"Yes you did! What did you mean by it?" Vegeta demanded.
"I think what he said has something to do with his conflicting memories." Goku noted.
"Maybe." He grumbled not happy with the answer. Vegeta started to shuffle the cards and asked. "Another Hand???"

Capsule Corp: way after midnight!

"Hello? Is anyone around?" Rini asked as she walked in to the half-lit living room carrying baby Trunks. She had been looking for some to change Trunks diaper. She could hear snoring coming from the floor near the table. Rini walked over to the sleeping form and saw that it was Serena. She put Trunks down on a chair; he began sucking on his fist. Rini tried to shake Serena awake. "Wake up Serena, Trunks needs to be changed." Serena just mumbled in her sleep.
"Oh Darien… I love you… Vegeta…" She sighed, rolled over and began snoring again. Rini tried a second time to wake Serena.
"Please mommy, Trunks smell really bad!" She gave up after that. She picked up Trunks and left in search of someone that could help them. She kissed trunks on the forehead. "Don't worry, she's not as flaky as that when she gets older. Just wait till you come to visit and we both get the chicken pox!" Trunks just gurgled. "Well let's see if we can find your mommy." She walked down the hall of the main living area looking for Bulma or anyone who could help them. Rini turned a corner and ran into something very big. She stepped back and looked up to see a tall green man, with his arms across his chest. Glaring at her.
"Hi, Mr. Piccialo." Rini smiled. "Can you please change trunks?" She held out Trunks, so that Piccolo would take him.
"What?" He asked, not believing what the child had asked him.
"Please Mr. Piccolo. I can't find anyone else and he really smells bad!" Rini pleaded.
"No! I don't change diapers." He grumbled as he looked in to her pleading eyes. (((She is doing the puppy dog look!)))
"Please Mr. Piccolo???" He just stood there, for a moment then he took the baby from her.
"Fine, but if you tell anyone I did this. They'll need both the Namek and Earth Dragon Balls to bring you back from where I'll send you!"
Rini giggled. "Oh… Mr. Piccolo you're funny!"

End.
