"What are we going to tell the others?" asked Mira.
"What indeed," said Gohan.
Mira spun around to see Gohan standing in the doorway. "G-G-Gohan!" she said.
Gohan walked out and closed the door. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone until you guys are ready."
"Not even Videl?" asked Mira, surprised. Gohan would have trouble keeping a secret from his wife.
"Not even Videl," said Gohan solomnly.
Gohan smiled slightly. "I didn't see this coming. Although I probably should have," he said.
Mira sighed.
"Carol and Krista saw it coming," said Piccolo.
Mira and Gohan looked at him, puzzled.
"They mentioned it after you went to sleep, when you were at that party," he said.
"Oh," said Mira. "Then I guess we tell them first."
"Mira, I hate to interrupt this, but we really should go back in before we're missed," said Gohan.
"Right," said Mira.
"First, fly to your window and put the roses in your room. They could cause come awkward questions," said Gohan.
Mira did that, kissed Piccolo goodbye, then went back in with Gohan.
"Hey, Mira. Who was that?" asked Carol.
"Just a friend of mine," said Mira loudly. In a lower tone she said, "Carol, Krista, let's go up to my room. I gotta tell you something."
When they were safely in Mira's room, and Mira had closed and locked the door behind them, Carol asked, "So, what did you need to tell us?"
"Look on my dresser," said Mira. They looked.
"Uh-oh! Who gave Mira roses?" asked Carol, giggling.
"It was Piccolo at the door. He's the one who gave me the roses," said Mira.
"WHAT?!" exclaimed Krista.
"I knew it!" said Carol.
"He thought you would," said Mira.
"So you're a couple now?" asked Krista.
Mira nodded. "Gohan knows, but please don't tell anyone else yet. Especially not Aunt Chichi."
"Alright. But when are you planning on telling them?" asked Carol.
"And how?"
"I don't know," said Mira.
"Maybe you should go down there now and just tell everyone strait out," suggested Carol.
"No. I'd rather have Piccolo here when I told them. But telling them all in one would probably be best." Mira considered a moment. "No, I should probably tell Chichi in private, then tell everyone else."
"How about you show her?" asked Krista.
"Show her?"
"I mean, you and Piccolo go in, put your arm around him, he puts his arm around you, Chichi turns around..."
"And kills the both of us," muttered Mira.
Carol and Krista flinched.
"I really need Gohan to be there when I tell Chichi. Probably Goku too."
"Alright. But we really should go back to the party now," said Carol.
