Recuperation

Disclaimer:
Trunks: I'm going to do the disclaimer from now on. For two reasons, one, Anija's out cold in the medic room right now and two, she'll scream her head off if she does another one of these. I don't know why she doesn't like it, I do. Oh, anyway, DBZ doesn't belong to her, neither does DBGT.

WARNING!!
Trunks: I'm doing this too this time. Uh..... Oh! My dad acts a little strange in the beginning but she explains why in the chapter.


Well, enjoy this! (Or else I'll send you to the next dimension!! Heh, J/K)------


*CRASH!* *BANG* *KLANG!!*
What the hell?.... Trunks asked out loud sitting up. He looked over to the area of noise. Vegeta was up and stumbling around. Trunks walked over to his Dad.
Oh, hello Trunks. Beautiful day isn't it? Such pretty little birdies outside chirping and singing. Did you ever stop to smell the flowers Trunks? Vegeta said.
Trunks asked confused by his dad's odd behavior.
Ya know. Mother Nature. It's beautiful Trunks, it really is. Vegeta said.
Trunks sputtered.
Yes son? Vegeta said looking genuinely interested in his son.
I..I...I'm gonna go get mom. Trunks said. He ran out of the room. I sat up slowly and stiffly every now and then having to stop because of pain. I noticed Vegeta.
Oh, it's you. I said coldly.
Good morning Anija! Vegeta said. My jaw dropped. ~What did he say to me? Good morning'? What's up?~ I thought amazed by Vegeta. Who are you and what have you done with the Vegeta I know?! I demanded.
Hmm? What do you mean? I'm Vegeta. Vegeta said.
No. No, you can't be. The Vegeta I know is an arrogant, stuck up, full-of-himself, harsh, Prince of Saiyans that would never say anything like you've said. I told him. I slowly stood up and staggered slightly.
Oh, let me help you Anija. Vegeta said.
No, I'm fine. I'm not sure who or *what* you are and I definitely don't want *your* help. I said holding onto the bed rail. Just then Trunks and Bulma rushed in.
Oh hello my beautiful and wonderful wife. How are you? Vegeta said. Bulma's jaw dropped wider than mine did.
See mom! I told you he was acting strange. Trunks said.
It...It must be that hyperpolychloraxide.... Bulma said to herself.
Just how much of that did you give him last night? Trunks asked.
Uh.... I'm not sure. Too much I guess. Bulma said.
That...He's...It's not permanent is it? I asked.
It shouldn't be. It should wear off in a little while. Bulma said.
Ohh, I feel, woozy. Vegeta said. He grabbed his head and stumbled towards Trunks. Trunks caught him and Vegeta passed out.
I think it's starting to wear off. Put him on that bed over there, he should wake up in about ten minutes. Bulma said. Trunks set him down and then turned to me.
That was interesting.... Is Vegeta going to be all right? I asked.
He should be back to his normal self in a bit. But he might have one hell of a migraine. Trunks said.
Oh, great. I said with fake enthusiasm.
Anija, how are you feeling? Bulma asked me.
A little better, not much though. My hand is really bothering me. I said.
Bulma said turning to a cabinet and pulling out a small bottle of pills, Here's some pain killers. She tossed the bottle to me.
I said. Because of my wrapped hand I struggled with the lid.
Do you need some help? Trunks asked.
No, I got it. I said. I clenched my fist around the bottle and it broke in my hand. I grabbed the pills and popped them in my mouth.
That's one way. Bulma said. I groaned in pain and leaned my head back. Vegeta started to stir. He reached his hands to his head without opening his eyes. He rubbed his temples and moaned.
Ugh, I had the stupidest dream. I was saying things were beautiful and stuff like that. Vegeta said now sitting up.
Heh, oh really, a dream. Trunks said, he shot me a funny look.
::Ehem:: Vegeta dear, I think you have some explaining to do to Anija and Trunks. Bulma said. Vegeta looked up holding his throbbing head.
Like what? He asked coldly.
Oh, I don't know. You could start with an apology then explain why in hell you tried to kill them. Bulma said.
Hmph! There's no need for apology! They were acting inappropriately, and in the bathroom no less! Vegeta said.
Oh, okay. Here. Bulma reached into her pocket and pulled out a capsule. She tossed it to Vegeta.
What's this for? Vegeta said.
It's a capsule house, your new home, permanently. That's if you don't apologize. Bulma said. Vegeta grumbled some words unfit for a PG fic.
Fine. Okay? Vegeta said.
Okay what? Bulma asked.
You know! Vegeta said hoping not to have to say the word.
No I don't. Please expand Vegeta. Bulma replied. She, of course, did know what he was trying to say but wanted to hear the actual words from his mouth.
Vegeta mumbled barely audible for even Saiyan hearing. Trunks grinned but quickly stopped when Vegeta shot him a look.
Good. I think you owe Anija a separate apology. Bulma said.
Oh c'mon Woman! I already said it once! Vegeta yelled. He was only putting up with this nonsense for two reasons, and two reasons alone. One being that he had such a pounding headache that he couldn't really think about doing anything and he definitely didn't want to move. And two being that he didn't want to live in a capsule house and he knew Bulma was serious about what she said.
Do it Vegeta. Bulma warned.
He said. Then he looked my way. Anija! Listen up because you're not ever going to hear this from me again! He snapped, he had started to speak in Saiyan, I guess he didn't want the others to hear.
Okay, I'm all ears. I replied also speaking in Saiyan.
I...I guess I shouldn't have attacked you like that.....Uh,... Vegeta started, I could tell this was hard for him. I want Trunks to have a mate and all, but not yet. He's going to become stronger before that! You, being the only female with any Saiyan, are a...Well, a choice, and he seems to like you, but I don't ever want to see you doing *that* in my bathroom again! And you'd better not be pregnant! Vegeta snapped.
Dang, a little moody aren't we? Thanks for considering me a choice, glad for your *Royal* approval. I said sarcastically. And no, I'm not pregnant. I wouldn't do something that dumb Vegeta, give me some credit will ya? Vegeta's face tightened and his his body tensed but he didn't move. Remember what I said Anija! He snapped and then stormed out of the room.
What the heck were you guys saying? Trunks asked me, I've heard my dad cuss in a language that sounded like that before but I haven't heard him speak it all like that.
It's Saiyan. It's actually my first language. I guess Vegeta's more comfortable speaking that, it's probably less embarrassing for him too. I said.
What all did you guys say? Bulma asked.
Well, let's just say we have a mutual agreement, for now. I said not really wanting to repeat Vegeta's words. How long till this medicine kicks in? I asked.
Oh, about twenty minutes, maybe sooner because of the dose. Three pills should work good. Bulma said.
I asked.
Yeah, that's how many you took isn't it? Bulma said.
Well, heh, not exactly. I replied.
How many did you take? Trunks asked.
I tried to remember how many were in my hand before I swallowed them. I couldn't think of it though. Well, how many were in the bottle?
Uh, that was one from last week so I'd guess there were about....Uh, ten. Bulma said. By the way where are the others? She asked.
Others? See, I kinda didn't exactly read the label. I just took what was in the bottle. I said.
Dang! Ten tablets?! Those were extra strength too. Trunks said.
I won't get sick will I? I asked nervously.
I don't know. I've never dealt with an alien overdose. Bulma said. Er, I mean Saiyan overdose. Sorry, I didn't mean to call you an alien it's just-
That okay really Bulma. I am an alien, but that doesn't matter. Anyway, so you don't know if I'll get sick? I said.
Bulma replied sheepishly, But I'd imagine you'd at least get stomach cramps.
I replied sarcastically, I hope that's the worst of it.
Yeah, hope so. Trunks said.
I think I'll call the doctor the guys go to sometimes. He might have an idea. Bulma said exciting the room. She popped her head back in again, Don't *do* anything. She said. I blushed.
Oh please mom. Trunks said rolling his eyes. Bulma smiled and left.
She seems to be enjoying this. I said smirking.
Yeah, I think everybody will for awhile. I don't even want to talk to Goku, he'll probably be more amused than mom. Trunks said.
Yeah, probably. Ya know, if ya look at it, this is all your little Fan Club's fault. I mean, if they hadn't flipped the moment you walked into the room then those guys wouldn't have done those things, and we wouldn't have had to leave the mall, and we wouldn't have wound up leaving Goten with Sarah, then we wouldn't have come here to clean which-
Okay, okay Anija. I think that medicine makes you babble. Trunks teased.
Hey, I was just trying to say that it wasn't our fault. I said defensively.
Yeah sure. Are you hungry? Trunks asked changing the subject.
Kinda. Is your mom cooking? I asked nervous about what Bulma might of made.
No, we still have some food that she didn't cook. Trunks said.
Good. Uh....No offense to your mom's cooking. I said. He just laughed.
I'll be right back with the food. Trunks said leaving. I leaned back against my bed and closed my eyes relaxing. I let my body just go limp making sure not to tense any muscles so as not to cause any pain.
~This is pretty nice.~ I thought. I started to roll over and I got a twinge of pain in my back. ~Guess I won't lay that way.~ I spread out on the bad again. I could hear Trunks clanging around in the kitchen, ~He's so sweet. Glad he didn't inherit Vegeta's attitude problem.~ I thought smiling. Then this weird woozy feeling swept through my body. I squinted my eyes trying to make it stop. Trunks walked in.
Everything okay? He asked me.
Yeah, just feeling a little funny. I replied. Trunks set the food down on a table. Suddenly my stomach lurched and felt like it was in my throat. My eyes widened. I sprang out of my bed and rushed towards the little bathroom.
Are you okay? Trunks asked hearing an unpleasant sound coming from the bathroom. He was answered by the next wave of sickness and noise. The toilet flushed. I stumbled out of the bathroom and wiped my mouth with part of my remaining sleeve. He gave me a sorry look.
Guess that answers my questions about the medicine. I said slowly. Just then Bulma walked in.
The doctor said to throw it up or just sleep on it. She said.
Well, I already did the first thing. I said. Another wave of nausea swept over me. I went back into the bathroom. I emerged a little while later, dizzy and tired. I wiped my mouth again. Uh Trunks, you can hold the breakfast. I just lost whatever I had last night, didn't look too great. I said.
Okay, spare the details. Trunks said. I walked back over to the bed like an old lady with arthritic joints. I sat down on the bed.
You don't look too great Anija. Your face is all pale. Trunks said.
Yeah, maybe I'll take a nap. I said. My head started to throb again. I held my temples and my vision blurred. I blinked repeatedly but it didn't help. I guess my ears were freaking out too because everything sounded echo-y.
Aa-ni-nija-ja, ar-are yo-you o-okay? Is what Trunks' words sounded like to me. I started to wobble a bit then I collapsed backwards on my bed and was asleep.
I think she should rest. Bulma said.
Yeah, I guess she thinks so too. Trunks said.

**Okay, I'll spare you the long process of describing every day. Let me just tell you, Vegeta came back later that day and let me also say that Bulma made it worth his while for apologizing. (Get my drift?) It's about two days later and Anija's walking around now and is feeling better thanks to the TLC from Trunks. (But not too much in the . That's what got them into this mess in the first place ya know.) So far they haven't really talked to any of the gang (All of which know what happened and *why* it happened) I'm gonna cut to a scene with Goten and his new Sarah.......**

Goten and Sarah were walking down a dark street. Sarah wasn't afraid of doing those sort of thing with Goten around because she had a good feeling about him.
Do you love me Goten? Sarah asked out of the blue.
Uh...Yeah Sarah. Where'd that come from. Goten said.
I just wanted to know if you liked me or not. She said. She stopped under a street lamp and took Goten's hands in hers and looked him in the eyes. Are you sure you love me? She asked.
Yes Sarah, of course. To tell ya the truth I've liked you since I was a freshman. He said. She smiled.
Thank you Goten. She said. She leaned towards him, he leaned in towards her too. Suddenly he pulled away and looked up at the building in front of them. What's wrong? She asked confused as to what he was doing.
We're being watched. Goten said. Sarah looked up.
I don't see anyone. She said. Suddenly a guy jumped off the roof and into the shadows. What the?.... Goten stepped in front of her protectively.
Who are you? He demanded to the stranger who was still hidden by the shadows. The stranger stepped forward. Goten looked surprised.


To be continued.......


Oh I bet you're dying to know who it is huh? Well, you won't know till the next chapter! HAHAHA! ::Ehem:: Who could it be? A new enemy? An old one? Just gotta wait! I love doing these sorts of things to ya!
Trunks: Why? Because you enjoy torturing people?
Uh...No...um...Well.....Call it what you want Trunks but ya gotta admit that it's fun.
Trunks: Only if they're demented as you are.
And who says there not? Wait! Did you call me demented?! Why you little!....
Trunks: Uh-oh.....Gotta go! Buh-bye!
