Goten and Goku met up with Vegeta about 15 minutes after they left.
"Any sign of her?" asked Goku.
"No. I can feel her Ki, but I can't pin point it. It's wavy." Said Vegeta, "I think she's intoxicated." Goten's eyes dropped.
"We need to split up and look for her. I'll take the south end, Vegeta you take the western area and dad you take the eastern area." Said Goten, "when one of us finds her, raise your power level so we can meet you." Vegeta and Goku agreed and they took off to find her.
Meanwhile, in some random section of forestry, Bra jumped from rock to rock in the middle of a pond singing to herself.
"Baker Baker baking a cake, make me a day, make me whole again. And I wonder what's in a day, what's in your cake this time." Bra sang with slurred speech. Her bottle of whiskey was more than half-gone. She stood on a rather large rock in the middle of a pond and she looked at her bottle. "I guess I should have bought a second one." She put the bottle to her mouth and chugged what ever was left in the bottle. Once the bottle was empty she threw the bottle in the air and shot a Ki blast at it. When she shot the Ki blast she lost her balance and fell off the rock into the dirty pond water. The shock of falling in the water scared her half to death and caused her to throw up, so she grabbed hold of the rock for support while she threw up. Once she finished throwing up she weakly pushed off the rock and moved herself over to the shore. She climbed up onto the grass and looked up at the early morning sky and began to cry. "I have failed my family. Kris is right, no one could ever love me, I don't deserve it."
Goku was the only one to see Bra's Ki blast. So he flew in the direction of it. When he came over the forest, he dropped lower so he could see through the trees. About 5 minutes later he saw Bra laying next to the pond she had earlier fell into. He dropped down next to her and raised his power level.
"Bra." He said trying to wake her, "Bra? Can you hear me? It's me, Uncle Goku." Bra weakly opened her eyes and looked at him.
"What are you doing here?" slurred Bra.
"We've been looking for you for a couple hours now." Replied Goku and he began to pick her up.
"Put me down!" Snapped Bra as Goku put her on her feet and she began to walk away. Just then Vegeta and Goten came down from the sky. Vegeta ran to her, Goten started to run to her as well, but Goku stopped him.
"Goten, she's drunk." Said Goku.
"Princess! Stop right where you are?" yelled Vegeta. Bra stopped with her back to him. "Turn around and look at me."
"I can't. I've shamed you, I've shamed our family, and I've shamed our friends. I don't want anyone to look at me. I don't deserve another chance. I'm worthless." Bra put her head in her hands and started to cry.
"What are you talking about? You're my daughter, you could never shame me." said Vegeta, "and who told you, you were worthless."
"Kris."
"WHAT! I'll kill him for coming near you." Yelled Vegeta, "Bra, let's just go home and we can talk about this in the morning, when your sober."
"I'm not going home."
"Of course you are, why wouldn't you?"
"Because I don't deserve to. I deserve to be left here to die." Finally she turned around to face them all, "I don't deserve the family I have, I don't deserve the friends I have, I especially don't deserve Goten's love. I don't deserve anything but death. So leave me alone to die here." Goten walked up to Vegeta.
"Uncle Vegeta, please, let me talk to her." Goten said. Vegeta reluctantly agreed and walked over to where Goku was standing. Goten walked up to Bra. "Bra, why do you think you don't deserve me or anyone else?"
"Because I'm worthless. Look at me, smell my breath. I'm drunk. I'm too weak to even stay sober. Kris was right, I'll never have the life I want, I'll never get clean, I'll never be anything more to anyone than a junkie whore."
"Bra, you're working so hard for your sobriety, you can't give up because of something that jerk said to you. He's the one who's worthless. He's the one who doesn't deserve a good life. You deserve so much more than what you give yourself credit for. You could never shame anyone. We're all here for you. Me, your family, my parents, Gohan, Videl, Pan, everyone, we're all here for you." Goten put his hands up to her face to wipe away her tears, "No matter what happens I'll always be behind you and you will always have my love." Goten wrapped his arms around her in a tight warm hug. Bra broke down and cried into his chest as he stroked her hair.
"Oh, Goten, I'm so sorry, for all of this." Cried Bra.
"Sshhh, Don't cry, it's going to be ok." Soothed Goten as he rested his head on top of hers, still stroking her hair. Vegeta and Goku walked over to them. Goten released Bra from his hug and as Vegeta took his daughter into his arms.
"Are you ready to go home now, Princess?" asked Vegeta.
"Yea, daddy, let's go home." Said Bra with her voice still a little slurred and cracked from crying. Vegeta picked her up and they all took to the sky. "Oh wait, my car. I think it's in the south end."
"Give me your keys." Said Goten, "I'll bring it by tomorrow." Bra reached into her pocket and pulled out her keys.
"Goten, here." She said tossing him her keys. She smiled at him as her and Vegeta flew back to Capsule Corp.
Hi everyone. Sorry it took me so long to get this out. I've been working a bit more on one of my other stories that I've neglected. Please let me know how you think I'm doing and read some of my other stories too. Hopefully, I can get the next chapter out soon. Until then, Take Care.
Vegea.
