Chapter 5 If you lived here...
I couldn't explain the dream. But it stills occupy my mind. In a strange way, it made sense. Was I to save Vegeta from himself?
From that night and all winter long I dreamt of Vegeta in some way. Sometimes the dream was funny. He would be dressed up like Goku and he would try to talk and act like him. Sometimes the dream would be romantic, when we would kiss, or even make love. Day by freezing day, I waited for Vegeta to contact me. He had to be having the same dreams I have been having. I dared not tell Yamcha about any of it. Things were going bad enough to me. No sense in making it worse. Finally in the spring my mom informed me that Vegeta should be back soon, since he was running out of fuel. Yamcha was surprised from my reaction. He still didn't know I dreamt of him more than anything. I was excited. I couldn't wait. And then, his ship landed. Yamcha and I raced from the patio down to the yard to meet him. "What are you doing here?!" Yamcha demanded. "I thought Kakarot had returned." He looked displaced. I walked up to him, which surprised Yamcha, because I showed no fear. I looked in his eyes and insisted that he take a bath. He followed me to the house and that was that. No quarrels, no threats, no nothing. And Yamcha was stunned.
I lead him to my floor bathroom. "Here's the shower and the washer and the dryer. I'll wash your clothes for you, what's left of them anyway." He began taking his clothes off, right in front of me. What's he doing?! I noticed all the scars on Vegeta's body. There must have been hundreds of them. Poor soul. Maybe those are apart of the wounds that I saw in my dream, I thought. When he was about to pull the bodysuit down, I quickly covered my eyes. He chuckled. "Earthlings." He joked. I muttered jerk under my breath and waited for him to step into the shower.
Goku came back from his unexpectedly long journey after Trunks returned to defeat the repaired Frieza. I swear that I still feel like an idiot for not recognizing my own flesh and blood, but how could I? It was my baby three years before he existed. After his news about the androids and his departure, Vegeta pretty much imposed on living at CC. Didn't ask, or anything. But I doubt if I would refuse. I was curious to see if I was really this angel that was going to save him. By and by, Yamcha was losing his hold on me.
