Chapter 5: Birthday Girl; Part 1
Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one, when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never to part, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving your, too
All those same people who scold you
What they give just for the right to hold you
From you head down to your toes
You're not much goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine
All of those people who scold you
What they'd give just for the right to hold you
From you head down to your toes
You're not much goodness know
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine
LB sang the song the very next day. Her mother had died without her there. Days before she had left the Future, the followers of ZAO had attack her home. ZAO had learned the location of their base from a spy. The spy Jackie Lambee had told her minutes before ZAO had attacked that she had given away their location. LB killed her instantly.
A stray bullet hit her mother. Actually several stray bullets hit her mother. People on both sides were randomly firing at each other. The non-fighting people at the base were trying to leave the base. Her mother was one of the few who stayed to help the injured soldiers to safety.
LB didn't want to leave her before she was okay. Her mother urged her to go. She wanted her children in other dimensions to live long and happy life. Maybe learn a way to kill ZAO.
Brunch had said her mother was glad she had one child who survived the destruction. One child to help bring peace back to the world. The only thing she regretted was never seeing her husband before he died.
LB regretted being in the past while her mother died. She had no one there for her. **********************************************************************************************************************************************
Trunks was up early with his grandmother and sister making his mother breakfast. He did it every year on her birthday. Grandma always helped. It was the same this year but something or someone was missing today. Could it be this 'father' Goten believes to be his? Trunks didn't remember his father. He didn't know if he ever met him. And he doesn't remember never not having a father. Maybe his father didn't want his family to get hurt by someone who wanted him and his family dead. So he asked Grandpa to make something for him. Something that makes no one remember him. "No, that couldn't be," muttered Trunks as he took out the carton of eggs. Trunks didn't know how close to the truth he really was.
Bra was sitting in a padded basket on the table watching her family cook. Mrs. Briefs checked periodically on her small granddaughter as she looked across the table to the open doorway. After five minutes of doing so she turn to her purple hair grandson. "Where's that father of yours? Vegeta should have been here by now. I know he trains to become stronger but he always comes in on time. Trunks dear, maybe he's hurt and can't move! Oh dear! Bulma shouldn't have to be told what happened to little Veggie. It's her birthday."
Trunks stared at his grandmother. What was she talking about? "What?"
Mrs. Briefs looked confused as she tried to remember what she just said and about who. "Oh nothing, dear. If I can't remember it then it wasn't that important." She went back to cooking. Trunks did the same but didn't put out of his mind what his grandmother had just said. How could someone forget what he or she said seconds after saying it? Well, only if that someone was his grandmother. Her brain was filled with fluff!

Bulma woke up to a bright and shining morning. Today was her birthday. She didn't care for the part where she's a year older but loved the part where she was given presents. Bulma closed her eyes and rolled to the other side of the bed, her hand out stretch. She felt air and the thick blanket. Her eyes popped opened. Shouldn't someone be there? she thought. "No, no one shouldn't be there." She slowly sat up in bed. Soon Trunks would bring up her breakfast.
As she waited for her son, she thought about her dream. There was a very handsome man. His face was in shadows but she knew he was very handsome. She just knew. He stood in front of her son. Trunks' head peeked behind the man and made a face. The man looked behind him and picked the three-year-old boy up. He said something to Trunks who just giggled and wriggle away. Next Goten wobble into the room. He ran straight for the man, screaming. Bulma couldn't hear Goten screaming for this was a silent dream where no noises to full the dream. (Duhhh! If you don't know what a silent dream is, I just explain it.) Goten grabbed on to the man's legs and buried his head there. Gohan came into the room. He went straight to his brother. He said something to the man. The man folded his arms ad put his chin higher into the air. Bulma watched as all of the boys popped like a bubble and disappeared. Her eyes turned to the only person left. The man in shadows. He walked closer to her. He stretches out his hand, waiting for her to take it. She saw her hand take his. He roughly pulled her to him. He leaned down and savagely took her mouth. His tongue swept into her mouth. That's when she woke up. Bulma knew she did know who the man in shadows was. Trunks, Goten, and Gohan also knew the man too. But who? Who was this man?
The door opened and Trunks stepped into the room holding his sister. Her parents came in next, carrying a tray laden with food.
"Happy Birthday, Bulma, dear!"
"Yeah, Happy Birthday, Mom!"

Vegeta lowered his ki. He stood in the shadows watching his family and their friends. Bulma's birthday party was taking place. The woman will yell at me for not being there when she remembers, he thought. Good thing he remembered to get her present before Zack came. Vegeta watch his mate laugh at something Kakarot said. Then playfully hit him on the arm. The Prince's anger rose. Bulma was flirting with that third class saiyan! He'll kill him. And this time he will win.
Over at the party Goku felt a powerful semi-evil ki rise. Why didn't he feel the person earlier? Why did this ki feel familiar? Goku turn in the direction he felt the ki. He narrowed his eyes and stared. It was a man, a saiyan warrior. Why was the saiyan watching the party? Saiyans were evil by nature. Well maybe not evil but close enough. Was he the same person he felt yesterday? No, Goku thought the other person was female and part human, maybe even part saiyan. Goku couldn't tell.
"Goku. Earth to Goku! Wake up." Bulma snapped her fingers in front of her lifetime friend. He stared down at her.
"What?"
"I asked you if you wanted a slice of cake."
Goku's mouth watered. Cake. He nodded. "Can I have more than a slice?"
Bulma sighed. "Goku, you do know that a slice of cake for you is a whole cake for us?"
"I know. But it's not enough," Goku whined.

Zack stared at the warriors having fun. Here were the Earth's strongest warriors and they didn't know he was here. He searched their minds. No Vegeta. He knew Vegeta would stay around the strongest people on the planet become even stronger and these people were it. "These people don't know Vegeta," he told Anna.
"Maybe he never came to this planer. If no one knows him it's because he was never here."
"Shut up! Vegeta is here. I know. Lord Frieza didn't want me to go. He had another mission for me." He watched the other people at the party. "Hey looky! It's that purple hair kid, the saiyan boy. Guess the blue hair woman is his mommy. The black hair saiyan boy must be his half brother. You see that? The woman with the bun must be the boy's mother while the other woman with the blue hair is the purple one's mother. And see that man? He's a full saiyan. He fathered all of the half saiyans."
Anna looked at the partly group. The tall man had spikes for hair like the young half saiyan. There was no doubt in her mind that they were father and son. The purple hair one was defiantly the woman with short blue hair. They looked alike. The saiyan baby also was the woman's child. There was another half saiyan, older than the other three. He had black hair like the full saiyan but shorter and it wasn't sticking in spikes to the sides. In his arms was a semi-saiyan, a quarter saiyan actually. Must be the oldest son of the woman with a bun since the blue hair woman's children have different color hair then the usually black hair saiyans. She must have the stronger genes to not have her children have black hair like most of the saiyan race, Anna thought. One man, one saiyan man, couldn't possibly father four children. A saiyan could only have father two children unless both children of the man die permantly before the father himself. And the full saiyan is a live. No doubt about it. That man couldn't have father all four. Two of them are his and the other two are another saiyans. But which two? Are the other ones the Saiyan Prince's children?
