Recap: Reeco sat on the edge of the bed pat her back as she continued to sob into her pillow, "I really am sorry Cat…….It was a mistake." "Damn right it was a mistake," she whispered. Reeco lifted her face and looked into her eyes, "Cat-chan I would never hurt you purposely. Please give me one more chance. I don't love Geri. I love d looked into her eyes, "Cat-chan I would never hurt you purposely. Please give me one more chance. I don't love Geri. I love you and only you. Please?" Cathreine felt her self melt not noticing that the space between them was decreasing. "I love you Cat please one last chance. I'll never hurt you again I promise." Their lips touched and before Cat knew they were making out again as if nothing had changed. Their lips parted and Cathreine said, "Apology accepted Reeco-chan."
~~o0o~~
"God damn it I hate that bastard."
Terra threw dart after dart at the wall in front of her. Each Dart landing somewhere on the picture of Reeco she had up on her wall. Dende nodded in agreement. Gohan scratched the back of his head, "Maybe Reeco'll really stop cheating on her." Terra shook her head, "I've already caught them sleeping together twice." Gohan looked around Terra's room, "Did you tell Cat?" Dende chuckled, "Remember last time Terra tried that? For God's sake she nearly broke Terra's jaw." Terra took another gulp of the beer that sat in front of her before passing it to Dende, who took chugged half of it down. He handed it to Gohan. "My mom's gonna kill me if she finds out about this," he said as he chugged the rest down. Terra opened another bottle and glared at the picture on the wall. "I can't believe that asshole fucked up the mission………God we needed that technology!" she growled remembering the mission she'd been put in charge of. She'd trained hard for that fucking mission and she'd finally earned the position of leader………the position she and Reeco had competed for. Reeco had refused to listen and got them caught and almost killed. She'd got into one hell of an arguement with Reeco over that. Which of course led to a fight between her and Cathreine.
Just then Cat walked into the room and glared at Terra. Terra just stared back at her emotionless, "What do you want Cat?" She lifted her upper lip in disgust and growled, "Mom sent me to tell you that you have a call on line one Terra." Terra didn't move or speak. Cathreine went to walk out when she noticed the picture on the wall covered in darts. "Oh yeah you guys real mature," she said rolling her eyes. Then she noticed the beer Terra currently held very tightly, "You've been drinking too? Go figure I'd expect that from you guys." Terra's eyes flashed green, "Get the hell out of my room Cat." Cathreine simply snarled and replied sarcastically, "Bye T-chan!" Terra lifted the bottle and threw it at her sister only for it to hit the door and shatter. Gohan and Dende didn't speak. The awful lies Reeco had told her about them were destroying Terra and Cat's relationship. "Terra?" Gohan said watching as she tried to old back tears. Terra shook her head as the tears faded from her eyes, "He's changed her so much. He destroyed her."
"Mama?"
Terra turned to see Two year old Kitonya staring at her. Terra gasped. Kitonya's entire eye was swollen and starting to turn black and blue. "Kitty what happened?!" Kitonya stared at her mother and crwaled up into her lap. "Geri hit me wit a baseball cause I said sumthin bad 'bout Reeco." Terra was pissed, "Tell me exactly what happened." Kitonya sniffled and proceeded to tell her story, "Reeco was saying some really bad stuff about you, Daddy and Uncle Dende to someone. Really bad stuff. And I sorta……..kinda called him a bad word." Terra looked at her, "What did you call him?" Kitonya looked around the room and chose to whisper the phrase in her mother's ear. Terra's eyes widened and she looked at her disaprovingly. "Kitonya Son! Where'd you here that phrase?" Kitonya looked at the ground, "Uncle Piccolo called Interceptor that when he pissed on his shoulder pads." Dende tried to stifle a laugh. Terra looked at her daughter letting her continue, "Well then Reeco was 'bout to say sumthin to me when Geri said 'Hey Kitty-Chan! Head's up!' Then I turned around and a baseball hit me right in the face. I didn't cry though Mommy I didn't!" Terra stood and held her close as she began to cry quietly into her shirt. Terra snarled, "She's dead!"
Just then her mother yelled to her, "Terra! You have a call on line one remember!?" Terra growled at the Cell phone in her pocket before answering it,
"Hello?"
"Oh Boss!! Hi was just about to call. About last mission I am terribly sorry but you see Reeco….."
"What? Reeco told you what happened?"
Terra's face paled.
"N-No!! That's not what happened Sir! Reeco wouldn't……"
"Sir, I guarentee you I wouldn't do that!"
"He's lying!"
"But I……"
"BUT SIR YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"
The tears had returned to her eyes.
"For how long?"
"Who's replacing me?"
"Yes sir I understand……..goodbye."
Terra closed the Cell phone. She looked at Gohan and Dende. "H-H-He dismissed me. I'm suspended from any future missions until he says I can start again. He even gave my position to Reeco! Reeco told him I fucked up the mission!! That I purposely put our lives in danger!" Terra smashed the Cell phone in her hand and threw the full beer bottle resting on the table at Reeco picture making it shatter and its contents stain the picture. She glared at it hatefully, "That fucking bastard……"
Reeco laughed as he sipped his drink, "What idiots!" Geri laughed along with him," You should have seen Terra's face when I 'apologized' for hitting Kitonya. She picked up a baseball bat and threatened to kill me when Aeris and Cloud walked in. God did they tear here a new asshole!" Reeco chuckled, "I got that little whore wrapped around my finger. I've turned her against Terra badly that I can do anything I want and she'll believe me! She actually believes that I am in love with her!" Geri smiled seductively and walked up to him, "It's would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic." Reeco grinned and pull her closer, "Yeah it would." They began to kiss passionately.
Terra sneered at the scene below her. Videl Satan stood behind her with a microphone as Terra recorded the scene on tape. She laughed silently and coldly, "Pay back's a bitch aint it Vid-chan?" Videl nodded and continued to record the conversation. Terra leaned forward not noticing how close she was coming to the ventilation grid. Not until it collapsed from under causing her to fall into the room below. "Shit! Kuso!" Videl snarled before crawling towards the vent grid that led to the kitchen.
"What the fuck are you doing in here?" Reeco snarled. Terra flipped to her feet. That's when he saw the camera, "Gimme the tape…..NOW!" Terra smirked, "Pay back's a bitch aint it Reeco-Chan?" He advanced towards her. "You want it? Come and get it!" Terra said running from the room. Reeco chased her down the hall. Terra came to a stop at the end. Energy began to collect around her, "Earth! Water! Fire! Ice! Wood! Metal! Lightning! Thunder! Air! Sun! Moon! Heaven and Hell! Seal this creature where he dwells!" Suddenly a beam of energy created a semitransparent wall between her and Reeco. He snarled, "Let me out of her you conniving bitch!" Terra shook her head, "You'll get out eventually." Terra ran to the kitchen.
Cathreine, Gohan, and Dende stood there when they heard a noise above them and saw Terra dash in. The vent grid fell to the ground with a clang and Videl fliped out of it. She looked at Terra, "Got the tape?" She nodded and then looked to Cathreine, "You wanna see how wonderful your boyfriend is?" Terra dragged her to the tv abnd put the tape in. And the scene played before Cathreine.
Reeco finally broke the barrier and ran into the kitchen to find a very pissed Cathreine. "WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER!? LITTLE WHORE!? PATHETIC!? YOU FUCKING SON UVA BITCH!!"
"C-C-Cat-Chan I can explain you see Terra…….she……," Reeco managed to stutter. "NO! I'm not gonna hear it! I'm tired of your lies!" Cathreine screamed but Terra could see tears welling up in her eyes. Reeco backed up into the counter with Cathreine right in his face. With one hand he cupped her face and made her look at him, "Please Cathreine I'm sorry I didn't mean it. Terra…..she……she doesn't understand how I feel about you." But Dende saw something Cathreine didn't………the large carving knife in his other hand. He lifted Cathreine face pulling her closer, "Please Cat…..." he raised the knife as Cathreine closed her eyes, "………I can change." The knife fell.
"NO!!!"
But it didn't get far. Dende held Reeco by his wrist as Cat managed to squirm away. He snarled and bared his sharp fangs, "Touch her Reeco and you die!" Reeco's glare turned into a smirk, "You don't wanna fight me Dende." Terra watched as Dende powered up making his fangs grow out longer and pointier and his nails seem to sharpen as well, "Lets dance….."
Dende tackled Reeco sending him straight through a glass table causing it to shatter under his weight. No one moved they were too shocked. They simply watched the long awaited fight, the inevitable. Geri sighed and brushed the hair from her eyes. "This is so ridiculous. And as I said it would be funny if it wasn't so pathe….." "SHUT UP!!!!!" Cathreine screamed and punched her across the face, "YOU TWO FACED WENCH!!!" Geri's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Why you….." she lifted her hand to slap Cathreine only for it to be grabbed by another hand. She looked up to see Gohan snarling at her, "You might be a girl Geri but I have no problem break your fucking wrists if I have to……." Geri stared at him in shock and cringed away meekly seeing she was out numbered. Terra merely looked up at Gohan with adoring eyes, "Woah…….." Gohan noticed this and blushed, "Umm……Terra why don't you watch the fight……. Ya know……instead of me?" The anime hearts in Terra's eyes disappeared and she went back to watching the fight.
Dende fell to the ground his entire side in pain from where Reeco had cut him with the knife. Reeco fell ontop of him threatening to stab him staright through the eyes. Dende lifted his hands and clawed the boys eyes making him recoil slightly. When Reeco removed his hand from his eyes he had four horizobntal lines from which blood began to seep from blurring his vision. He glared at him with such hate and attacked again. Dende searched vainly for something, anything. Then he found it. With a flick of his wrist he managed to twist the top and he dumped it into his eyes and the bloody cuts along them. Salt. Reeco screamed in pain and fell away. "Dende!" Terra tore away from Gohan and tried to help her friend stand. That was her mistake……..
Reeco tried to see but everything was blurred. With an angry scream he plunged the knife into something……….someone………..Terra.
Terra felt the pain rip her body apart. She didn't scream she just fell. The knife had still in Reeco's hand. First she fell to her knees. By tehn Reeco's eyes had teared alonging him to see what he'd stabbed. Terra looked at Reeco then back to the bloody hole in her chest. She tried to say something but all that came out was a strangled gurgle. She fell back. "TERRA!" Dende screamed and managed to catch her before her head hit the floor. He looked at the wound and then back at Reeco, "Y-Y-YOU BASTARD!!! YOU STINKIN' BASTARD!!!"
"What's going on in there?!"
Everyone turned to the direction of Aeris's voice. Reeco paled there waqa no way out of this not escape…….unless. He smirked and looked to Dende, "Hey green Bean…..catch." He threw the knife at Dende who caught it just as Aeris walked in. "Guys what's goin……..Oh my God Terra!" Aeris pushed Dende away and held her, "Terra!? T-chan!? Somebody get help!" Videl managed to nod numbly and run to get someone to help Terra. Aeris smoothed Terra's hair down she looked up at Dende and saw the bloody knife as Reeco began to babble out an apology. Aeris glared at the teenaged Namek, "Dende……. How could you!?"
~~o0o~~
Dende sat there quietly in the hospital. The hospital was only for the member of AVALANCHE which was a few thousand people. Then the news came……she'd be okay. Dende sighed in relief. Ignoring the pain of his unattended wound. Then he felt someone stare. He turned to see his father and mother. "We have to talk……Now," Piccolo said.
~~o0o~~
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? A CARVING KNIFE!? DENDE YOU COULD KILL SOMEONE LIKE THAT! YOU NEARLY KILLED TERRA!!"
Dende ignored the horrible accusations. He opened his mouth to say something but was silenced. "What makes you so damn sure I stabbed her?" he sneered. Catalina yelled "Dende you had the knife in your hand! And Reeco said……." "Oh yeah let's fucking believe what Reeco said! Who cares if your son is the one telling the truth! He's not even really your son so why should you bother listening to him!!!!?" Catalina was speechless. Piccolo replied, "Dende you had the knife in your hand……"
"No……..Reeco I the one who stabbed Terra…….You can listen to his lies all you want but it doesn't changed the fact that he is the one that hurt her not me……..I've been putting up with this shit for months and I'm tired of it. I know all the lies father…..That I'm on drugs, that I smoke, that I've raped several people including Cathreine, Terra, and Geri……….none of them are true. And a real father would at least hear his son out and not shut him up the second he tries to defend himself." Dende stood and went to leave. Piccolo walked towards him, "Don't turn you back on me Dende……."
"Fuck off….dad."
"Don't talk to you father like that!" Catalina yelled. Dende turned his eyes filled with hate and anger, "You're not my Mother and He's not my Father! My father died on namek nine years ago……and then another namekian took me in and promised to train me, raiswe me, protect me, and for a few years he did. Then some two cent whore Sayain came and fucked my life up even more! The namek married her and he got a son that was his blood. Even then I didn't mind. But then some fucking asshole homicidal relative of the sayain whore came and played off the idea that he was fucking perfect!!! And he destroyed my world but he was still perfect…and the one person I thought I could turn to, the one person I thought would keep his promise failed me too. No…..he's not my father. I'm going home……..I'm goin back to Namek!" And with that said and done he ran from the hospital.
~~o0o~~
Cathreine stood there something in her hand shined. She walked into hr niece's room and found her fast asleep. She nodded and left hoping to God that she wouldn't wake up. Cathreine looked at the pictures on the wall many of them were of her, Gohan, Terra, and Dende. Tears fell onto her cheeks. She sat on the couch and closed her eyes.
"It's all my fault."
She couldn't take the pain of seeing her sister get hurt anymore. She was sick of being hurt and of heart being broken. She picked up the pillow beside her and put it on the side of her head. Then she raised the gun to the pillow and began to slowly put pressure on the trigger. Before she put the last bit of pressure on it she thought. Is it worth it? I'll never see Terra again. I'll never hear Kitonya's laugh or Dende and Gohan's voice. She'd never see her sister get married or hear the cries of her Terra's first naturally born child or her own. Is it worth it to stop the pain? Cathreine came to her decision …………
"Yes it is."
"Cat!?"
She put the last bit of pressure down upon the trigger but not before someone grabbed her hand and redirected the gun to the wall. The shot rang through the air, surprisingly not waking Kitonya. Then Cathreine looked to see who had stopped her who hand saved her from making the biggest mistake of her life…………Dende.
"Cat what is wrong with you!?" he shouted. Cathreine stood there numbly. The gun fell from her hand and she burst into tears. She collapsed against him sobbing, "Make the pain stop *sob* please!" Dende didn't know what to do so he picked her up and cradled her close. He brought her to her room and sat on her bed. When she refused to let go of his shirt he stayed rocking back and forth whispering and comforting her. When she calmed down a bit Dende was able to rest her down against her pillow. He stayed with her though. They talked for hours about everything, Reeco, Terra, Cathreine even got him to admit he didn't mean what he said to his stepparents. Dende found himself laughing despite the past few hours. That's when he noticed how different Cathreine and Terra not only acted, but truthfully, to the trained eye, looked. Though they were identical Cathreine's face was softer and kinder. Sure he'd hit on Terra and flirted with her and he'd admit she was pretty…..but Cathreine, she was, "Beautiful." Cat looked at Dende, "Did you say something?" Dende realized he'd spoken out loud and shook his head and stuttered, "N-Nothing. It's just……….never-mind……I better go to bed….." Cathreine wasn't satisfied, "Dende, tell me what's wrong, please I know your in pain for some reason." Dende looked back at his long time friend and finally said, "Reeco didn't deserve you Cat-Chan………" Cathreine noticed that unshed tears were clinging to his eyes. He didn't know it but he was telling Cathreine everything he was spilling his heart out to her without knowing it. "Dende?" Dende looked up at her to see she was suddenly closer. She smiled, "Shut-up." Dnde was surpised and was caught off guard when her lips pressed up against him sealing them in a very passion filled kiss. He felt a red, hot fire spreaded fire his lips down his entire spine. Before he knew it he was literally on top of her. He looked at her and managed to say, "C-C-Cat I….."
"I love you Dende."
Dende didn't know what to say so he just said what was in his heart, "I love you too Cat."
They kissed again. Dende removed his shirt as the temperature of the room seem to sky rocket. Dende's hands wandered all of her body until they came to the zipper of her shirt. He stopped. He pulled away from her and looked her in the eyes, "Cat?" Cathreine looked at Dende her hand still on his now bare chest. Her free hand moved up to the zipper. She pulled it down until it reached her belly button. A crimson blush spread across his face………Cat wasn't wearing a bra underneath. She looked nervous. He laid back on top of her again he could feel his face turn redder as his bare chest came down upon hers. He kissed her gently and began to move down her neck. He nipped and kissed her collarbone gently. Then he looked back into her eyes. He didn't need to even ask she responded to his question……
"Go slowly Dende………I love you."
His lips reached hers again and his hand moved up her side to her bare chest. "I promise I won't hurt you Cat-chan……..I love you too."
~~o0o~~
"Dende?" Piccolo called as he walked into the house. He was hushed by Catalina who said he was probably sleeping. Terra had woken up and told them everything. Videl had brought the tape and that to was shown. Reeco was in deep shit. Geri who had been scared and softened by her cousin's near death experience had backed the others up. Reeco didn't stand a chance. Gohan walked in carrying Terra who was wrapped in a blanket and fast asleep. She'd be a little dopey for a few days because of the pain killers but nothing else would be wrong. No one bothered to suspect what had just gone on.
~~o0o~~
Cathreine slept against the Namek's bare chest. Her naked body curled up against him as well. Dende sat there and smiled. He stroked Cathreine's hair lightly so not to wake her. He finally found the person he knew wouldn't hurt him or embarrass him purposely, who'd keep promises she made. His soul mate. He kissed her gently and fell asleep holding her close.
Weeks went by and no one noticed the secret relationship, it seemed that it could remain that way forever. That is until one morning when Dende found out something about Cathreine…….something he and Cathreine had never considered.
~~o0o~~
Terra slept trying as hard as humanly possible not to moved and upset the bandage across her chest…..not an easy task for her. Suddenly the door slammed open, "TERRA!?" Terra snapped out of her trance like sleep to see Dende standing in her doorway, "Dende? What the fuck is your problem?" Dende turned to close and lock the door and then walked to his friend's bed. Terra could see tears clinging to his pale green skin. "Dende? What's wrong?" Dende looked at Terra and tried to stifle a sob.
"We didn't mean for it to happen!" he yelled hysterically. Now Terra could feel the color drain from her face, "Dende stop crying! What happened!?" Dende looked to Terra. "I'm so sorry Terra. Cat and I we…….we just didn't think it could happen." Terra forced Dende to look at her, "Cathreine?! Cathreine involved in this? Dende what's wrong is she hurt is she sick?!" Dende shook his head and began to stutter,
"S-S-She's……*sob* She…"
"She's what Dende!? You can tell me!"
Dende looked at Terra and finally managed to finish his sentence……
"……………….She's pregnant. And I'm the Father."
