"Ohmigosh!! OHMIGOSH!!" Natalie yelled jumping up. "I don't believe…or at least someone else should have figured it out!!! AAAAHHH!! Sorry, this is just a bit…unusual!"
"Don't worry about it. I was kinda hoping that you'd be the one to figure it out." Mirai Nicholas smiled.
"Oh! Don't you smile at me like that!! You're married…with kids!! Ohmigosh! I think I'm hyperventilating!" Natalie said as she tried to breath deep. "That must mean…"
"Oh dear…here it comes!" Nicholas said covering his ears.
"GOTEN KISSED ME!!! AAAAAAAAHHH!! HE'S GOHAN'S LITTLE BROTHER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!"
"Well technically all that would have made that…embarrassing was your age difference. That Goten is older than you."
"Are you sure?!"
"Positive."
"Good. Now I can relax." Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
"You know, you are awfully cute when you do that." Nicholas replied.
"Stop that!! What would your wife say?"
"Somehow I don't think she'd mind." He laughed.
"So, the guys with you…"
"Trunks in the bandana and David."
"Wow. Nick, you sure grew up well." Natalie said and quickly blushed. "What I meant was…"
"I think I got it."
"So, how come Gohan never came with you? Or any of us girls?"
"Because someone needs to stay and keep things under control and…"
"Take care of the kids hmm?" Natalie asked. He blushed. "Wait a second…when you said you're wife wouldn't mind…you…YOU! OHMIGOSH!!"
"Oy vey…you're a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for."
"WOW!! If I had sisters they'd be so jealous! Ah, I talk way too much." Nicholas just laughed.
Meanwhile…"She sure is taking a long time up there." Nicholas commented.
"Dude, it's been 10 minutes." Gohan replied. "Anyone would think you were jealous!"
"I am not!! I'm worried okay!"
"Sure you are!" The others replied as he sweat-dropped.
"Let's change the subject." Nicholas quickly said.
"Alrighty then! Are the girls we marry real babes?" David asked as Videl slapped him upside the head.
"Just filling in for Nat." Videl smiled.
"To answer your question David, yes. They are beautiful." Mirai David replied with a small smile.
"Cool!" David exclaimed. Gohan was in deep thought.
**If what that woman told me was true then…oh no!! I need to talk to Videl and quick. I can't believe I let a stupid dream control me!! I can't believe I lost her…no!! I'm not gonna give up! I will win her back. If only she'd listen…**
Back at the lake…
"You're my future husband! Wow…" Natalie said as a small blush crept on her face and she got a faraway look. "But I don't understand how!"
"Do you even remember why the two of you broke up?" Nicholas asked.
"Well, he said it would be better for the both of us if we stayed friends." Natalie replied. Nicholas took her hands in his.
"He meant better for you."
"Huh?"
"He, well I, thought that you were being held back into one relationship and that you weren't happy."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes." Nicholas replied edging closer to her. She stood up.
"So, you never mentioned what Videl's power was."
"She has the ability to freeze time."
"That could come in handy."
"Why are you avoiding the subject?"
"Because I know he doesn't feel the same way. Now, we'd better catch up to the others. They're most probably at Videl's."
"I can teleport us there but I have to hold you."
"Okay." Natalie embraced Nicholas and they disappeared.
At Videl's…
"Even as a kid this place looked big…and it still does!" David exclaimed. Videl grinned.
"We had an extra wing added to the house." Videl replied as he face-faulted. "So, let's go in!" She chirped as they went inside. Behind them Mirai Nicholas and Natalie appeared.
"AAH!" The others yelled.
"Cool!" Natalie replied with a big grin.
"Videl, can you show us to your back-yard?" M David asked.
"Sure." Videl replied as she showed them the way.
"Right, we need to get started practising your powers." M Goten said.
"Well I already know how to use mine." David replied.
"NANI?!" The four Mirais exclaimed.
"Oh yeah! When Glycer was gonna hit me David zoomed at the speed of light and grabbed her in a full nelson." Natalie remembered.
"Dude, that is so Flash Gordon!" Andrea said amazed. David blushed.
"One question, what's with the dude stuff?" M Trunks asked.
"We grew up watching the Ninja Turtles." Videl explained.
Meanwhile…
Glycer swallowed hard before she entered the wing that the elders were in. She walked down the long corridor and finally reached the secretary.
"Oh it's you Glycer! Do you want to see the elders?" The secretary asked. Glycer nodded sadly. "Oh don't worry! I'm sure you'll be fine!" She let the doors open and she went in.
"You wanted to see me sirs?" Glycer asked. She wasn't in Lindsey's body anymore, since David and Natalie had sussed her out. She was a tall, slender woman with auburn hair and cerulean eyes.
"Yes, we have been analysing your…situation and we've come to the conclusion that the humans and their Saiya-jin friend have the disadvantage over you on Earth." King Eioniz said.
"So, you're saying that I should bring them to the ship where I have the home team advantage. Excellent!"
"Of course it's excellent!" Eioniz snapped as Glycer grimaced. "You may leave now."
**I feel sorry for you, our so-called monarch, because when that girl arrives the real royalty shall take over.** Glycer thought to herself. **I just hope they'll put a stop to those two evil tyrants.**
- It took a couple of weeks for the Mirais to train the kids and to try and get Gohan to do some of the tricks. Needless to say, the Mirais were impressed with their progress.
"I just don't understand it!" Mirai Nicholas said as he watched the teens practise. "They picked it up so quickly!"
"Well they are younger." Mirai Goten smiled.
"Plus they knew in advance." Mirai Trunks also smiled.
"You're loving this aren't you? To see me in anguish!" Mirai Nicholas exclaimed. Mirai David had offered to train the kids.
"Can we stop now?" Natalie whined.
"No sorry." Mirai David replied.
"You're such a wimp! You don't even have an active power!" Gohan joked and she stuck her tongue out at him.
"I'm not tired! I'm just hungry!" Natalie retorted. Meanwhile David and Andrea were in a corner looking like they were training. "STOP FLIRTING YOU TWO!" They blushed an interesting shade of red.
"You're mean." Videl said.
"Hunger makes me cranky." Natalie replied.
"Do you think they'll be ready in time?" M Trunks asked.
"Well Nat hasn't had a forewarning yet so I think they're okay for now. Then again I think I spoke too soon." Mirai Nicholas said as everyone rushed to Natalie who had fell faint on the floor.
"What happened to her?!" Nicholas demanded.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine." Mirai Goten replied as David tried to wake her up. She finally did.
"What did you see?" Mirai Trunks asked.
"Guys, we better suit up. We're in for a battle." Natalie replied and as if on cue a beam suddenly transported them to a ship.
"Wee! I wanna do that again!" David exclaimed.
"Welcome. I'm glad to see you all made it here safely." A voice said and they all turned around to see who it was but they didn't recognise her.
"Who the hell are you?" Gohan asked. "And what do you want with us?"
"Aw damn!" Natalie exclaimed. "It's Glycer!"
End of this part…
Well there is one part left. That's right. One more and it's going to be a doozy!
