The Amnesia Saga
Part Four
Goku opened his eyes as his head rang. "What hit me?" Goku asked.
" Gotenks." Chi Chi said as she glared at Goten and Trunks.
"I'm sorry, Gotenks hit you so hard." Goten said as he reached out to the man, "But, we just want you and Bulma to just be friends. I want you to remember me."
Goku smiled and hugged Goten. "Goten, the effort is nice but... I'm sorry. I really want to remember you and Gohan but I can't. I'm sorry, son. But, I can get to know you again. Okay?" He rubbed Goten's head as Goten nodded.
"Uh huh."
"I'm sorry." Trunks said as he looked down. "The hit on the head idea was my idea too."
"Don't do that again." Bulma warned.
"Yes, Mommy." Trunks muttered.
"Let's go." Gohan advised, "There's a great party starting at sunset. It's a celebration of our victory."
"Cool." Goku said as he got up.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Chi Chi asked worried.
"Sure he's fine." Krillian said, "Remember, Goku has one of the thickest skulls in the universe."
"Of course, it's a Saiyan trait." Vegita said as he then frowned, "But, I wish you wouldn't have said it that way."
*****
Cheers rang out as the party started. King Rasin laughed as the warriors were celebrating a victory well fought. Goku and the other Saiyans were eating and drinking.
"This is great!" Goku exclaimed as he laid back.
"Yeah! This is the first victory party we had since the Buu bash!" Krillian agreed.
"Oh, Orang!" Bulma said as she was sitting in her full outfit. Her dress was one of the last good dresses she owned. She had kept it hidden away for a good occasion. Her hair was clean and she wasn't wearing any makeup. "I mean, Goku." She turned red. In a distant corner, Vegita growled.
Krillian went up to Goku and whispered, "Goku, you better keep your hands off of Bulma. I know you and Bulma have a thing but... I don't want you to die again."
"Again?" Goku asked confused.
"Long story. Just do it. Please?"
Goku looked down at the much shorter man. "Okay, you know... you fought very good for someone so... er..."
"Short? Yeah, lots of people think that. It's cool. You were pretty short back when you a kid."
"Oh really? How short?"
Krillian stood up and put his hand under his chin. "This short. You got a major growth spurt later. Must be a Saiyan thing."
"Must be."
Tomata was sitting to the side as she watched the Saiyans eating, drinking, and more eating.
"Hey, Tomata." Yamcha said as he sat beside her. "You okay? I thought Saiyans love to eat and celebrate winning."
Tomata smiled at the human. "We do. Although, I'm not truly a Saiyan since I was robbed of that right. I am a Fruan first. Saiyan second. When will you and your friends leave?"
"After the party." Yamcha answered, "You want to come with us? To Earth? You know, see the Firsts?"
"I don't know. There's so much to be done here. An entire planet to be restored. I can't leave." Tomata said with pain in her voice.
"You must." King Rasin advised, "Tomata, you had been a great asset to us ever since we founded you all those years ago. You had helped protect this kingdom with your life as well as your power. Please, we all know how much you wanted to leave this planet and see the Firsts' planet."
"But, the repairs-" Tomata argued.
"Can be repaired on our own. Please, go and rejoin your kind."
"It will be fun." Yamcha said, "There's lots of different types of food and we know a few places where you can stay."
"I guess... but I don't know."
"You might be able to go Super Saiyan." Yamcha added, "Maybe, Dr. Briefs can find out what you can do."
"Besides, "King Rasin said with a smile on his worn out face, "you eat as much as forty people at the least. You'll starve yourself. Go to Earth. I command you."
"Yes, my king." Tomata said as she smiled and tears came down her cheeks.
*****
"I'll miss this place." Bulma said as she stared at the castle, "The people here had been so kind and generous. And the castle was so big."
"Our house is much bigger." Trunks said stretching his arms. "Much much bigger! You'll love it! It has seven TVs, eight radios, and twelve different types of video games! The backyard is very big! It even have some dinosaurs that I like to play with! Oh, and the gravity room where Daddy plays and trains."
"Sounds wonderful." Bulma said smiling trying to hide the confusion on her face.
"It is. A little big for my tastes though." A woman said as the two looked up to see Chi Chi standing there. "Trunks, can you go and find Goten for me?"
"Oh." Trunks recognized the 'please do this or no food' look. "Okay." He ran off and Chi Chi sat down next to Bulma.
"Hello, Chi Chi." Bulma said as she smiled.
"Hello, Bulma." Chi Chi said as she mentally added, **You two timing, husband snatching, whore.**
"Chi Chi, I'm sorry for what happened between me and Goku." Bulma said, "Don't worry, ever since we knew about us being committed to other people, we tried to keep our distance."
"I know." Chi Chi muttered, "It's just... damn it, why must Goku be so open about his feelings to you instead to me?"
"What do you mean? I thought you two are or were close?"
"Ha! Yeah right. Whenever we're together, Goku rarely show his love to me. It's... frustrating."
"But you two have two children and I know they didn't just pop out of nowhere."
"Those two times were just that." Chi Chi said as she looked down. "I don't even think that Goku loves me to begin with."
"I don't know what to say."
"I better get going. Don't tell Goku about what I said and keep your distance. Please." She left as Bulma sighed.
**I forgot to ask what's a dinosaur.** She thought to herself.
*****
Goku wandered around as he gaze up at the castle. It had been his home for six long months. He glanced around and said, "Okay, you can come out." Vegita came out of the shadows. "Kakarot." He grunted, "I'm just here to warn you. Stay away from my mate." "Your mate?" Goku growled as he turned Super Saiyan. "Her name is Bulma or Bluberri. She's not yours, nor she is mine. She's her own woman and I don't like it when you don't treat her with respect."
"I do treat her with respect!" Vegita argued as he went Super Saiyan.
"Odd, that's not the way I see it." Bulma said as she came up. Her eyes were cold as she glared at him. "You tried to kill Orang. You refused to call Tomata by name. I can't... I don't want... if it weren't for Trunks, I would've believed that you wanted to take me as your slave." "No! My queen." Vegita said as he try to take Bulma's hand. Bulma jerked away and glared at him.
"Get away." "I will. For now." Vegita said as he walked away muttering, "Can't wait for her to get her memories straight."
The two watched as the prince walked away. Bulma's eyes teared up as she flung herself on the man. "Orang. I'm so confused." "Me too. That Vegita has it bad for you." Goku agreed. "So does Chi Chi has it bad for me." The two walked arm-in-arm down the hallway. Bulma sighed. "Maybe, I never really... loved Vegita. Trunks could be a one-night fling. Or... maybe, Vegita considered me to be his mate and not his love." "I don't know." Goku said as he gazed at her. "We can ask Tomata about him." "All she knew about him is that he's the prince and that all Saiyans must obey him." "Hmmm... what is it with me and Chi Chi?" Goku wondered, "She's a very strong woman, even for a human, but she scares me. All she did was yell at me and cry and fight you." "She hates me." Bulma stated, "I can see it. She must've loved you very much to be that jealous." "I hope we can survive the trip home. I... love you. But, I... we have kids and..." Goku struggled to get the words out.
Bulma placed her finger on Goku's lips. "Don't say another word. I know. We can't do much now. For our kids." "Yeah, for our kids." Goku said as he stepped back and opened a nearby door. Goten and Trunks fell over on the floor.
"Oops." Goten said as he scratched his head. "Umm... you see..."
"We got lost!" Trunks added as he grinned.
"Sure." Bulma smiled skeptically. "Why don't you go to the spacecraft now?" "Oh... okay." Goten said as he grabbed Trunks' arm and ran off.
"Kids." Goku laughed as he went to another door and opened it. Krillian and Master Roshi fell through.
"Ummm... that wasn't the bathroom." Master Roshi said as Krillian grabbed his shirt and ran off.
"Sorry." "Great." Bulma muttered as she opened another door and Tomata came out. "Oh! Hello!" Tomata smiled as she held up her stuff. "Just getting my stuff!" She ran off.
"OKAY!" Bulma demanded as Goku went Super Saiyan, "WHO'S HERE?!"
Slowly, the doors opened and Yamcha, Puar, Vegita, Chi Chi, and Banan Da came out into the hall. "That's it?" Goku asked as he glanced out of the window to see Piccolo and Gohan flying off. "Oh." "GET OUT!!! GET OUT!!!" Bulma screamed out as the group ran off.
"Oh boy." Goku moaned as he scratched his head.
*****
The group gathered into the spacecraft as Tomata looked out of one of the tiny portholes. "I wish I can help them." She muttered to herself.
"You know..." Yamcha stated as the stood beside her, "we can use the Dragon Balls to help them."
"The Dragon Balls? You mean those things that can make wishes?!" Tomata asked with hope evident in her voice.
"Yeah. We can make two wishes with those Dragon Balls. We can use one to get Goku and Bulma back to normal and the other one to get the planet back to normal as well."
"So, they can just wait for just a few more months..."
"And they will have their planet back."
"Can the Dragon Balls do it?" Tomata wondered.
"Of course! I've seen the Dragon Balls bring back a group of people back to life. Trust me."
"I'm so glad. I owe them my life."
Yamcha rose his eyebrows. He had never met a Saiyan (other than Goku) who was grateful for another species' help. She wasn't much like the Saiyans he fought. "You're not like normal Saiyans."
"I've been raised by the Fruans ever since I was seven. They helped me like they helped Goku and Bulma." Tomata explained as she smiled. "They were more supportive than the Saiyans have ever been, besides my family." She touched her tattoo and winced.
"I'm sorry. You'll love Earth."
"If this Earth have kind people like you, I'm sure I'll love it."
*****
The trip was long. Fortunately, there was plenty of food and water. Unfortunately, while there's plenty of food, space was another thing.
"That idiotic doctor! How could he only installed eight beds?!" Vegita bellowed.
"Didn't you notice before?" Tomata asked, "There's nine of you."
"I don't sleep." Piccolo replied, "I meditate."
"I can sleep on the floor." Goku suggested.
"I can sleep with Puar." Yamcha suggested, "He's very small."
"That still leaves two people." Gohan muttered as he glanced at Goku and Bulma.
"I'll sleep with Trunks." Goten suggested as he and Trunks clasped each other's shoulders.
"I'll sleep on the floor." Tomata offered, "I'm not really supposed to be here."
"No way!" Bulma argued, "Goku and I owe you our lives. You have as much right to sleep in a bed as the next woman."
"You can sleep with me." Master Roshi offered as he grinned at Tomata.
*whack!* Chi Chi slammed the old man with a mallet.
"Why did you do that?!" Bulma demanded, "Hitting an old defenseless man like that?!"
Roshi got up with images of Dragon Balls flying over his head. His sunglasses were on him crooked. "I'm okay." His voice was dazed and confused.
"Harmless old man?" Vegita scowled. "He's a pervert!"
"Forget it." Bulma moaned, "Look, I'll sleep with Tomata. Okay?!" She was tired and having everyone argue about who sleeps with who is starting to irritate her. Of course, she really wanted to sleep with Goku but that wasn't much of an option with a very mad woman and an equally mad man.
"With that nameless creature?!" Vegita screamed.
"Her name is Tomata, Vegita!" Goku growled angrily at the much shorter Saiyan. "Can't you treat her with some respect?!"
The two locked eyes in a stubborn way.
"Goku! Forget it!" Tomata yelled out, "I just want to sleep."
"Okay." Goku said as he stepped away. "But, I have to warn you Vegita. If you hurt either Tomata or Bluberri, I'll kill you."
Vegita scowled. "You know, Kakarot, you sounded more like a Saiyan every day."
Goku glanced at Tomata and Yamcha. "Ummm... thanks."
"Is that a compliment or an insult?" Tomata asked Yamcha.
"Knowing Vegita, a compliment."
"Thought so."
*****
It was late as Chi Chi cooked up a storm. "Dinner's ready!" She announced as the group ran up.
"All right!" Goten yelled out as he jumped into his seat.
"Food!" Trunks exclaimed as he jumped in the seat beside Goten.
"That was fast." Goku observed as he sat down beside Bulma.
"I'm starving." Tomata said as she rubbed her stomach. "Is Chi Chi a good cook?"
"She's the best." Yamcha replied, "Chi Chi can cook up enough food to feed several armies in a short time. Which is enough for us."
"You loved her cooking." Gohan added, "Trust me on this."
"I can't wait to try it out." Goku said as he got out the fork and knife.
"Me too." Tomata said as Chi Chi, Puar, and Oolong brought out vast plates of food. They laid down the plates and the warriors began to dig in. As usual, the Saiyans were shoveling food in with Krillian and Yamcha eating at a slower but very fast pace. Piccolo, Master Roshi, Oolong, Puar, Bulma, and Chi Chi were eating the slowest.
Tomata swallowed her bite. "That's incredible. The food is so strange and yet, it's tasty."
"Yeah." Bulma added, "Hmmm... what is this?"
"That's rice. That's eggrolls. That's my special stew..." Chi Chi said as she glanced at Goku who was eating.
He swallowed and said, "This is pretty good. This earth food is nice."
"Thanks." Chi Chi said as she gazed at him. Her face lit up. "Hey! You talked without your mouth full."
"Is that so bad?" Goku asked confused.
"No! No, not at all." Chi Chi wiped her mouth. "It's just... you very rarely did that."
"Oh! Well, I learned to not eat with my mouth full when we were staying with the King." Goku said, "It's bad manners."
"Yeah." Tomata agreed.
"Oh." Gohan said as he started to eat again. As he ate, he observed Goku and Tomata eating. They were fast but neat. They weren't letting a single scrap of food on their plates go by. Bulma was the same way. Maybe, it was due to the lack of food on Lotcamel. Trunks, the future Trunks, ate less than present Trunks when he was training with him. Saiyans probably can cut down on metabolism if absolutely necessary like humans can.
After the meal, Goku rubbed his stomach. "Wow, I love earth food."
"Me too." Tomata said as she smiled at Yamcha. "It's been such a long time since I had a full stomach of food."
"Was it that bad on Lotcamel?" Yamcha asked.
"Definitely." Tomata looked down, "My friends and family will still have to recover."
"Don't worry, the Dragon Balls will help them." Yamcha patted her shoulder. "Just you wait."
"Right." Tomata said as she glanced at Piccolo who was dabbing the edges of his lips with his napkin. "Odd, I heard that Namekians don't eat."
Piccolo glanced at her and remarked, "Namekians normally fast. It's a tradition. I wasn't like the other Namekians. I was raised on Earth both as Kami and Piccolo. Besides, I like Chi Chi's cooking."
"Ah."
"Ummm... Chi Chi?" Goku asked as he watched the woman putting away the dishes. "Can I help you with the dishes?"
Chi Chi nearly fell over dropping the dishes and everyone else except for Bulma and Tomata face faulted.
"What?" Goku was obviously confused. "I helped Bulma and Tomata with the dishes back home."
"Sure." Chi Chi smiled brightly as Goku helped the woman with the dishes. The two went to the kitchen as the others watched.
"Goku helps you with the dishes?" Gohan asked Bulma.
"Of course. At least back when we had dishes." Bulma muttered, "Orang or Goku often helped Tomata and me."
"Hmmm..."
Meanwhile, Goku and Chi Chi were putting the dishes in the dishwasher. "Thank you." Chi Chi said as she smiled at Goku again.
"No problem, Chi Chi. I bet that when I was your husband, we did this sort of thing all the time."
Chi Chi held a dish in her hands and it cracked. "No, you didn't. You and the kids train all the time."
"Oh. I'm sorry." Goku tilted his head. "Say, ummm... can I ask you something?"
"Yes."
"Ummm..." Goku turned red as he scratched his head. "How did we... meet and fell in love?"
"Oh... ahhh..." Chi Chi muttered as her cheeks turned bright red. "I... um..." She was afraid he will know. That he will know about the proposal.
"Is it bad?" Goku asked as Chi Chi paced.
"No! I mean yes! I mean... I don't want to lie." Chi Chi shook as she helped Goku to the table where the group still sat there.
"Back so soon?" Master Roshi asked.
"Ummm... Goku wants to know how we met and fell in love." Chi Chi explained.
"Oh." Yamcha muttered as he scratched his head.
"Ummm..." Krillian grinned as he tried to think of a good explanation. "You see..."
"Guys?" Goku glanced at everyone who was looking away. "Gohan? Goten?"
"I don't know." Goten said as he glanced at Gohan who had the same confused look.
"Don't look at me." Gohan shook his head. "Mom didn't tell me."
"Did I do anything wrong?" Goku asked. His heart pounded as he tried to think up every possible way that he and she would get together. What was her secret?
"No! It's just..." Chi Chi turned red. "It's a long story."
"Tell us." Goten said, "Please!"
"Yeah, tell us." Goku added as he mirrored his son's plea.
"Ummm... you see it all began a long time ago." Chi Chi said, "You, Bulma, and Oolong were looking for a Dragon Ball. At the time, the castle I was living in was surrounded by flames. I was off looking for a magic fan to get rid of the flames. My father sent you to help me get the fan and bring me back." Her face turned red. She went into a long explanation about how she and he got engaged by her simply implying and that he agreed. "And so, at the time, I thought you accepted the proposal to marriage to me and you thought that you were going to get some type of food."
"And I still agreed to it?" Goku asked bewildered at his stupidity. **I don't believe it.**
"Yes!" Chi Chi screamed as she got up. "You did!"
"I must be a complete moron!" Goku laughed out as Chi Chi stared at him. "How can I be that stupid? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!" Chi Chi's eyes teared up. "I know that was dumb of me, but I was desperate. I still love you. I even waited seven whole years after you died to come back." "Seven years?!" Goku gulped as he glanced at Bulma. "Ummm... how..."
"Long story." Gohan said as Chi Chi stared at the floor.
**What was I thinking? Goku obviously never loved me.** Chi Chi thought, **The only reason he married me was because of honor.** "Leave me alone." Chi Chi growled.
"Huh?"
"Go to Bulma!" Chi Chi screamed as she ran off.
"Mom!" Gohan yelled out as he followed her. Chi Chi ran to her room and knelt down crying. "Mom?" He asked as he came to her.
"Leave me alone." Chi Chi sobbed, "Don't you understand? Goku never loved me. I tricked him to marry me." **Oh, that's baloney.** King Kai said as Chi Chi looked up. **Chi Chi, Goku loves you.**
"Not anymore! Goku loves Bulma now!" **So? He's just confused right now. The point is that Goku had loved you always. When he was dead, he constantly talked about you and even looked after you in the Next Dimention.**
"He cared about me?"
**Of course he did. I know he may not act like it sometimes, but sometimes, I can see you in his dreams. Don't feel bad about it. Right now, you must fight for your love!** Chi Chi got up. "You're right! I can't let this defeat me." She put one foot on her cot as she proclaimed, "I WILL GET YOU BACK, GOKU!!!"
Gohan, who was standing there at the time, sweatdropped as he stepped out. **Better go and speed this ship up.** He thought as he went to front.
Meanwhile, Goku was in the dining area with the others. "Oh, I feel so bad. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings." "She'll be okay." Yamcha softly said as he nodded. "Chi Chi is a very strong woman." "Yeah, that's for sure." Piccolo agreed, "She just need to straighten out her head."
Goku leaned over to Yamcha and asked, "Is Chi Chi always so... reactive?"
"Unfortunately, yes." Yamcha replied, "Chi Chi is a warrior woman at heart."
"Mommy's great!" Goten argued as he looked up at his father's face. "She's real nice and she even helped me go Super Saiyan!"
"How?" Tomata asked, "How did you go Super Saiyan?"
"I don't know. It just happened." Goten said as Tomata banged her head on the table causing a dent to form.
"Why me?"
"You'll be a Super Saiyan." Goku said as he patted her shoulder.
"Yeah, trust me on this, you'll get it. You're very strong. Maybe, it take girls longer to become Super Saiyans." Yamcha said as Tomata smiled.
"Or, that she is not truly a Saiyan." Vegita sneered as Tomata lifted her head. "As far as I am concerned, you are not a Saiyan, nameless. You are lucky not to be dead by my hand."
"Yes, my lord." Tomata said as her cheeks turned red.
"Shut up!" Bulma screamed, "Her name is Tomata. She's more of a warrior than you were. Where were you when the Tormans attacked? Tomata fought those things day and night! She let herself starved in the nights because a small snack for her equals five meals. Every day, she kept Goku going and saved countless lives. Even when she was the only one left, she kept on going until she nearly died. Don't treat her like that anymore." "Yeah." Goku said as he got up, "Tomata is like a sister to me. If you kill her, I will destroy you. She helped me in the past six months. She taught me all she could about the Saiyans. Not an easy task since she was only seven when she was exiled from home for following her family's dream."
Vegita stared up at the two then at a stunned Tomata. Then, he sighed. "Blast it. Even without her memory, she can still get under my skin. Excuse me, I'll go and do some training." He got up and walked away.
"Wow." Trunks said as he gazed at Bulma. "You really put him in his place." "Incredible." Yamcha said, "I guess Bulma still have that influence on Vegita."
"Yeah." Puar agreed.
"You two were great." Tomata said as she smiled, "That was very brave of you two."
"You're a Saiyan like me." Goku said as he felt Vegita leaving. "Don't you forget it."
"I wish Vegita would see it like that." Tomata muttered as Gohan came in.
"Great news. I just did some readjustments on the ship. It'll take only a day now to get back." Gohan announced.
"Yay!" Goten cheered as he got up. "You'll love Earth, Daddy. It's big and green and has lots and lots of food." "I can't wait to see the rest of the people." Goku said as he grinned.
"Good." Krillian said as he glanced at Puar. "Hey, Puar, maybe you can help me show what the other warriors are like."
"Okay." Puar said as he went to an empty spot.
"First of all, there's Turtle." Krillian said as Puar transformed into Turtle.
"What is he?" Goku asked.
"A turtle." Master Roshi explained, "He house-sits for me."
"Odd." Tomata said as she glanced down at him. "He looks delicious." At once, everyone fell over, including Goku and Bulma.
"What?" Tomata asked.
"Don't eat anything that talks." Yamcha warned, "Just don't." "Right." Krillian laughed nervously as he continued. "Okay, next up is ummm... Videl."
Puar morphed into Videl and Gohan gasped. He had forgotten how good a shapeshifter Puar is. "Wow." "That's Gohan's future wife." Chi Chi said as she went up.
"Are you okay, Mom?" Gohan asked as he blushed wildly.
"I'm fine, sweetheart." Chi Chi said as she sat down.
"Is Videl and Gohan bonded?" Tomata asked curiously.
"Yes." Piccolo answered.
"No." Gohan denied.
"They did bond." Piccolo said, "Videl was able to sense that Gohan was alive even when everyone else couldn't sense him." "Wow." Goku said as he looked at a blushing Gohan. "When will you two get married?" Tomata asked curiously.
"Not her too." Gohan moaned as he buried his face in his hands.
Chi Chi smiled at the Saiyan. "I'm starting to like her attitude."
"Sounds like Videl is really nice." Goku commented, "What is she like?"
Gohan sighed. "She's very strong and smart. She's so beautiful." *****
Several hours passed as Gohan and the others take turns explaining their friends and allies.
"Mr. Satan is a very weak human. Any one of us can kill him in a second."
"Then why is he called the strongest man in the world?"
"Because he bribed us not to let anyone else know. Especially your mate."
*****
"Lunch is actually two women. Her blond form is more aggressive and prone to fighting."
"Like a Super Saiyan?"
"Yeah! I guess you can call it that."
*****
"So, Tien and Choutsu are best friends?"
"Yeah, they have been inseparable, even in the Next Dimention."
"Why do you keep on calling death that?"
"It sounds more realistic."
*****
Puar panted as he lay there. "I'm tired." "It's okay." Yamcha said as he picked up the small cat. "We better go to sleep." "*yawn* Yeah." Bulma agreed, "We have a long day tomorrow."
"Good." Vegita got out a suitcase and gave it to her. "Here's your sleeping attire."
Bulma blinked as she opened the suitcase. Inside was a long thick cottony nightgown. It was fresh and clean. "Oh, um... thank you." Bulma blushed lightly.
"I would've given you a more... lighter outfit, but I don't trust the old guy." Vegita said as he glared at Master Roshi.
"Heh heh, would I do anything like that?" Master Roshi asked as he looked away.
"YES!" Everyone except for Tomata, Goku, Bulma and Master Roshi yelled in unison.
"Here's something for you, Tomata." Chi Chi said as she handed the Saiyan woman a T-shirt and a loose pair of pants.
"Thank you." Tomata said as she bowed.
*****
"Did you brush your teeth?" Chi Chi asked.
"Yes, Mommy."
"Yes, Mom."
"We all did." Trunks said as he grinned.
"Good off to bed." Master Roshi said as everyone went into their cots. They were dressed in nightgowns and pajamas.
There was silence as everyone lay there. Goten and Trunks sighed as they tried to share the bed.
"Trunks?" Goten whispered.
"What?"
"Do you think Daddy and Bulma will leave us?"
"No way. As soon as the dragon makes the wish, Mommy and Goku will be back to normal." "But that's six months away! What if Daddy and Bulma get married?"
"Then, we won't let that happen. We can cure the amnesia ourselves." Trunks proclaimed. "It shouldn't be that hard. Grandpa can invent some sort of machine and bring back their memories."
"Really?"
"Of course."
*****
Bulma glanced at Tomata as she lay there. Her thoughts spun in her mind like a top. She love Orang or Goku and yet there is a man who loved her and had a son with her. How could she fell in love with Vegita? How can she have his son? True, Trunks is nice and very cute but Vegita isn't.
Yamcha was kind to her as well, despite the apparent bad past. She was amazed at the forgiveness he possessed. Why did she break up with the kind hearted scared man? Even if she can't love Yamcha, he can go with Tomata. They look good together.
*****
Goku lay there on his cot as he stared out. Who can he stay with? Chi Chi or Bluberri? Of course Bluberri is really Bulma but he didn't really care. He obvously have kids who loved him and would do anything to keep him. His heart ached as he looked up. How can he choose?
To Be Continued...
Part Four
Goku opened his eyes as his head rang. "What hit me?" Goku asked.
" Gotenks." Chi Chi said as she glared at Goten and Trunks.
"I'm sorry, Gotenks hit you so hard." Goten said as he reached out to the man, "But, we just want you and Bulma to just be friends. I want you to remember me."
Goku smiled and hugged Goten. "Goten, the effort is nice but... I'm sorry. I really want to remember you and Gohan but I can't. I'm sorry, son. But, I can get to know you again. Okay?" He rubbed Goten's head as Goten nodded.
"Uh huh."
"I'm sorry." Trunks said as he looked down. "The hit on the head idea was my idea too."
"Don't do that again." Bulma warned.
"Yes, Mommy." Trunks muttered.
"Let's go." Gohan advised, "There's a great party starting at sunset. It's a celebration of our victory."
"Cool." Goku said as he got up.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Chi Chi asked worried.
"Sure he's fine." Krillian said, "Remember, Goku has one of the thickest skulls in the universe."
"Of course, it's a Saiyan trait." Vegita said as he then frowned, "But, I wish you wouldn't have said it that way."
*****
Cheers rang out as the party started. King Rasin laughed as the warriors were celebrating a victory well fought. Goku and the other Saiyans were eating and drinking.
"This is great!" Goku exclaimed as he laid back.
"Yeah! This is the first victory party we had since the Buu bash!" Krillian agreed.
"Oh, Orang!" Bulma said as she was sitting in her full outfit. Her dress was one of the last good dresses she owned. She had kept it hidden away for a good occasion. Her hair was clean and she wasn't wearing any makeup. "I mean, Goku." She turned red. In a distant corner, Vegita growled.
Krillian went up to Goku and whispered, "Goku, you better keep your hands off of Bulma. I know you and Bulma have a thing but... I don't want you to die again."
"Again?" Goku asked confused.
"Long story. Just do it. Please?"
Goku looked down at the much shorter man. "Okay, you know... you fought very good for someone so... er..."
"Short? Yeah, lots of people think that. It's cool. You were pretty short back when you a kid."
"Oh really? How short?"
Krillian stood up and put his hand under his chin. "This short. You got a major growth spurt later. Must be a Saiyan thing."
"Must be."
Tomata was sitting to the side as she watched the Saiyans eating, drinking, and more eating.
"Hey, Tomata." Yamcha said as he sat beside her. "You okay? I thought Saiyans love to eat and celebrate winning."
Tomata smiled at the human. "We do. Although, I'm not truly a Saiyan since I was robbed of that right. I am a Fruan first. Saiyan second. When will you and your friends leave?"
"After the party." Yamcha answered, "You want to come with us? To Earth? You know, see the Firsts?"
"I don't know. There's so much to be done here. An entire planet to be restored. I can't leave." Tomata said with pain in her voice.
"You must." King Rasin advised, "Tomata, you had been a great asset to us ever since we founded you all those years ago. You had helped protect this kingdom with your life as well as your power. Please, we all know how much you wanted to leave this planet and see the Firsts' planet."
"But, the repairs-" Tomata argued.
"Can be repaired on our own. Please, go and rejoin your kind."
"It will be fun." Yamcha said, "There's lots of different types of food and we know a few places where you can stay."
"I guess... but I don't know."
"You might be able to go Super Saiyan." Yamcha added, "Maybe, Dr. Briefs can find out what you can do."
"Besides, "King Rasin said with a smile on his worn out face, "you eat as much as forty people at the least. You'll starve yourself. Go to Earth. I command you."
"Yes, my king." Tomata said as she smiled and tears came down her cheeks.
*****
"I'll miss this place." Bulma said as she stared at the castle, "The people here had been so kind and generous. And the castle was so big."
"Our house is much bigger." Trunks said stretching his arms. "Much much bigger! You'll love it! It has seven TVs, eight radios, and twelve different types of video games! The backyard is very big! It even have some dinosaurs that I like to play with! Oh, and the gravity room where Daddy plays and trains."
"Sounds wonderful." Bulma said smiling trying to hide the confusion on her face.
"It is. A little big for my tastes though." A woman said as the two looked up to see Chi Chi standing there. "Trunks, can you go and find Goten for me?"
"Oh." Trunks recognized the 'please do this or no food' look. "Okay." He ran off and Chi Chi sat down next to Bulma.
"Hello, Chi Chi." Bulma said as she smiled.
"Hello, Bulma." Chi Chi said as she mentally added, **You two timing, husband snatching, whore.**
"Chi Chi, I'm sorry for what happened between me and Goku." Bulma said, "Don't worry, ever since we knew about us being committed to other people, we tried to keep our distance."
"I know." Chi Chi muttered, "It's just... damn it, why must Goku be so open about his feelings to you instead to me?"
"What do you mean? I thought you two are or were close?"
"Ha! Yeah right. Whenever we're together, Goku rarely show his love to me. It's... frustrating."
"But you two have two children and I know they didn't just pop out of nowhere."
"Those two times were just that." Chi Chi said as she looked down. "I don't even think that Goku loves me to begin with."
"I don't know what to say."
"I better get going. Don't tell Goku about what I said and keep your distance. Please." She left as Bulma sighed.
**I forgot to ask what's a dinosaur.** She thought to herself.
*****
Goku wandered around as he gaze up at the castle. It had been his home for six long months. He glanced around and said, "Okay, you can come out." Vegita came out of the shadows. "Kakarot." He grunted, "I'm just here to warn you. Stay away from my mate." "Your mate?" Goku growled as he turned Super Saiyan. "Her name is Bulma or Bluberri. She's not yours, nor she is mine. She's her own woman and I don't like it when you don't treat her with respect."
"I do treat her with respect!" Vegita argued as he went Super Saiyan.
"Odd, that's not the way I see it." Bulma said as she came up. Her eyes were cold as she glared at him. "You tried to kill Orang. You refused to call Tomata by name. I can't... I don't want... if it weren't for Trunks, I would've believed that you wanted to take me as your slave." "No! My queen." Vegita said as he try to take Bulma's hand. Bulma jerked away and glared at him.
"Get away." "I will. For now." Vegita said as he walked away muttering, "Can't wait for her to get her memories straight."
The two watched as the prince walked away. Bulma's eyes teared up as she flung herself on the man. "Orang. I'm so confused." "Me too. That Vegita has it bad for you." Goku agreed. "So does Chi Chi has it bad for me." The two walked arm-in-arm down the hallway. Bulma sighed. "Maybe, I never really... loved Vegita. Trunks could be a one-night fling. Or... maybe, Vegita considered me to be his mate and not his love." "I don't know." Goku said as he gazed at her. "We can ask Tomata about him." "All she knew about him is that he's the prince and that all Saiyans must obey him." "Hmmm... what is it with me and Chi Chi?" Goku wondered, "She's a very strong woman, even for a human, but she scares me. All she did was yell at me and cry and fight you." "She hates me." Bulma stated, "I can see it. She must've loved you very much to be that jealous." "I hope we can survive the trip home. I... love you. But, I... we have kids and..." Goku struggled to get the words out.
Bulma placed her finger on Goku's lips. "Don't say another word. I know. We can't do much now. For our kids." "Yeah, for our kids." Goku said as he stepped back and opened a nearby door. Goten and Trunks fell over on the floor.
"Oops." Goten said as he scratched his head. "Umm... you see..."
"We got lost!" Trunks added as he grinned.
"Sure." Bulma smiled skeptically. "Why don't you go to the spacecraft now?" "Oh... okay." Goten said as he grabbed Trunks' arm and ran off.
"Kids." Goku laughed as he went to another door and opened it. Krillian and Master Roshi fell through.
"Ummm... that wasn't the bathroom." Master Roshi said as Krillian grabbed his shirt and ran off.
"Sorry." "Great." Bulma muttered as she opened another door and Tomata came out. "Oh! Hello!" Tomata smiled as she held up her stuff. "Just getting my stuff!" She ran off.
"OKAY!" Bulma demanded as Goku went Super Saiyan, "WHO'S HERE?!"
Slowly, the doors opened and Yamcha, Puar, Vegita, Chi Chi, and Banan Da came out into the hall. "That's it?" Goku asked as he glanced out of the window to see Piccolo and Gohan flying off. "Oh." "GET OUT!!! GET OUT!!!" Bulma screamed out as the group ran off.
"Oh boy." Goku moaned as he scratched his head.
*****
The group gathered into the spacecraft as Tomata looked out of one of the tiny portholes. "I wish I can help them." She muttered to herself.
"You know..." Yamcha stated as the stood beside her, "we can use the Dragon Balls to help them."
"The Dragon Balls? You mean those things that can make wishes?!" Tomata asked with hope evident in her voice.
"Yeah. We can make two wishes with those Dragon Balls. We can use one to get Goku and Bulma back to normal and the other one to get the planet back to normal as well."
"So, they can just wait for just a few more months..."
"And they will have their planet back."
"Can the Dragon Balls do it?" Tomata wondered.
"Of course! I've seen the Dragon Balls bring back a group of people back to life. Trust me."
"I'm so glad. I owe them my life."
Yamcha rose his eyebrows. He had never met a Saiyan (other than Goku) who was grateful for another species' help. She wasn't much like the Saiyans he fought. "You're not like normal Saiyans."
"I've been raised by the Fruans ever since I was seven. They helped me like they helped Goku and Bulma." Tomata explained as she smiled. "They were more supportive than the Saiyans have ever been, besides my family." She touched her tattoo and winced.
"I'm sorry. You'll love Earth."
"If this Earth have kind people like you, I'm sure I'll love it."
*****
The trip was long. Fortunately, there was plenty of food and water. Unfortunately, while there's plenty of food, space was another thing.
"That idiotic doctor! How could he only installed eight beds?!" Vegita bellowed.
"Didn't you notice before?" Tomata asked, "There's nine of you."
"I don't sleep." Piccolo replied, "I meditate."
"I can sleep on the floor." Goku suggested.
"I can sleep with Puar." Yamcha suggested, "He's very small."
"That still leaves two people." Gohan muttered as he glanced at Goku and Bulma.
"I'll sleep with Trunks." Goten suggested as he and Trunks clasped each other's shoulders.
"I'll sleep on the floor." Tomata offered, "I'm not really supposed to be here."
"No way!" Bulma argued, "Goku and I owe you our lives. You have as much right to sleep in a bed as the next woman."
"You can sleep with me." Master Roshi offered as he grinned at Tomata.
*whack!* Chi Chi slammed the old man with a mallet.
"Why did you do that?!" Bulma demanded, "Hitting an old defenseless man like that?!"
Roshi got up with images of Dragon Balls flying over his head. His sunglasses were on him crooked. "I'm okay." His voice was dazed and confused.
"Harmless old man?" Vegita scowled. "He's a pervert!"
"Forget it." Bulma moaned, "Look, I'll sleep with Tomata. Okay?!" She was tired and having everyone argue about who sleeps with who is starting to irritate her. Of course, she really wanted to sleep with Goku but that wasn't much of an option with a very mad woman and an equally mad man.
"With that nameless creature?!" Vegita screamed.
"Her name is Tomata, Vegita!" Goku growled angrily at the much shorter Saiyan. "Can't you treat her with some respect?!"
The two locked eyes in a stubborn way.
"Goku! Forget it!" Tomata yelled out, "I just want to sleep."
"Okay." Goku said as he stepped away. "But, I have to warn you Vegita. If you hurt either Tomata or Bluberri, I'll kill you."
Vegita scowled. "You know, Kakarot, you sounded more like a Saiyan every day."
Goku glanced at Tomata and Yamcha. "Ummm... thanks."
"Is that a compliment or an insult?" Tomata asked Yamcha.
"Knowing Vegita, a compliment."
"Thought so."
*****
It was late as Chi Chi cooked up a storm. "Dinner's ready!" She announced as the group ran up.
"All right!" Goten yelled out as he jumped into his seat.
"Food!" Trunks exclaimed as he jumped in the seat beside Goten.
"That was fast." Goku observed as he sat down beside Bulma.
"I'm starving." Tomata said as she rubbed her stomach. "Is Chi Chi a good cook?"
"She's the best." Yamcha replied, "Chi Chi can cook up enough food to feed several armies in a short time. Which is enough for us."
"You loved her cooking." Gohan added, "Trust me on this."
"I can't wait to try it out." Goku said as he got out the fork and knife.
"Me too." Tomata said as Chi Chi, Puar, and Oolong brought out vast plates of food. They laid down the plates and the warriors began to dig in. As usual, the Saiyans were shoveling food in with Krillian and Yamcha eating at a slower but very fast pace. Piccolo, Master Roshi, Oolong, Puar, Bulma, and Chi Chi were eating the slowest.
Tomata swallowed her bite. "That's incredible. The food is so strange and yet, it's tasty."
"Yeah." Bulma added, "Hmmm... what is this?"
"That's rice. That's eggrolls. That's my special stew..." Chi Chi said as she glanced at Goku who was eating.
He swallowed and said, "This is pretty good. This earth food is nice."
"Thanks." Chi Chi said as she gazed at him. Her face lit up. "Hey! You talked without your mouth full."
"Is that so bad?" Goku asked confused.
"No! No, not at all." Chi Chi wiped her mouth. "It's just... you very rarely did that."
"Oh! Well, I learned to not eat with my mouth full when we were staying with the King." Goku said, "It's bad manners."
"Yeah." Tomata agreed.
"Oh." Gohan said as he started to eat again. As he ate, he observed Goku and Tomata eating. They were fast but neat. They weren't letting a single scrap of food on their plates go by. Bulma was the same way. Maybe, it was due to the lack of food on Lotcamel. Trunks, the future Trunks, ate less than present Trunks when he was training with him. Saiyans probably can cut down on metabolism if absolutely necessary like humans can.
After the meal, Goku rubbed his stomach. "Wow, I love earth food."
"Me too." Tomata said as she smiled at Yamcha. "It's been such a long time since I had a full stomach of food."
"Was it that bad on Lotcamel?" Yamcha asked.
"Definitely." Tomata looked down, "My friends and family will still have to recover."
"Don't worry, the Dragon Balls will help them." Yamcha patted her shoulder. "Just you wait."
"Right." Tomata said as she glanced at Piccolo who was dabbing the edges of his lips with his napkin. "Odd, I heard that Namekians don't eat."
Piccolo glanced at her and remarked, "Namekians normally fast. It's a tradition. I wasn't like the other Namekians. I was raised on Earth both as Kami and Piccolo. Besides, I like Chi Chi's cooking."
"Ah."
"Ummm... Chi Chi?" Goku asked as he watched the woman putting away the dishes. "Can I help you with the dishes?"
Chi Chi nearly fell over dropping the dishes and everyone else except for Bulma and Tomata face faulted.
"What?" Goku was obviously confused. "I helped Bulma and Tomata with the dishes back home."
"Sure." Chi Chi smiled brightly as Goku helped the woman with the dishes. The two went to the kitchen as the others watched.
"Goku helps you with the dishes?" Gohan asked Bulma.
"Of course. At least back when we had dishes." Bulma muttered, "Orang or Goku often helped Tomata and me."
"Hmmm..."
Meanwhile, Goku and Chi Chi were putting the dishes in the dishwasher. "Thank you." Chi Chi said as she smiled at Goku again.
"No problem, Chi Chi. I bet that when I was your husband, we did this sort of thing all the time."
Chi Chi held a dish in her hands and it cracked. "No, you didn't. You and the kids train all the time."
"Oh. I'm sorry." Goku tilted his head. "Say, ummm... can I ask you something?"
"Yes."
"Ummm..." Goku turned red as he scratched his head. "How did we... meet and fell in love?"
"Oh... ahhh..." Chi Chi muttered as her cheeks turned bright red. "I... um..." She was afraid he will know. That he will know about the proposal.
"Is it bad?" Goku asked as Chi Chi paced.
"No! I mean yes! I mean... I don't want to lie." Chi Chi shook as she helped Goku to the table where the group still sat there.
"Back so soon?" Master Roshi asked.
"Ummm... Goku wants to know how we met and fell in love." Chi Chi explained.
"Oh." Yamcha muttered as he scratched his head.
"Ummm..." Krillian grinned as he tried to think of a good explanation. "You see..."
"Guys?" Goku glanced at everyone who was looking away. "Gohan? Goten?"
"I don't know." Goten said as he glanced at Gohan who had the same confused look.
"Don't look at me." Gohan shook his head. "Mom didn't tell me."
"Did I do anything wrong?" Goku asked. His heart pounded as he tried to think up every possible way that he and she would get together. What was her secret?
"No! It's just..." Chi Chi turned red. "It's a long story."
"Tell us." Goten said, "Please!"
"Yeah, tell us." Goku added as he mirrored his son's plea.
"Ummm... you see it all began a long time ago." Chi Chi said, "You, Bulma, and Oolong were looking for a Dragon Ball. At the time, the castle I was living in was surrounded by flames. I was off looking for a magic fan to get rid of the flames. My father sent you to help me get the fan and bring me back." Her face turned red. She went into a long explanation about how she and he got engaged by her simply implying and that he agreed. "And so, at the time, I thought you accepted the proposal to marriage to me and you thought that you were going to get some type of food."
"And I still agreed to it?" Goku asked bewildered at his stupidity. **I don't believe it.**
"Yes!" Chi Chi screamed as she got up. "You did!"
"I must be a complete moron!" Goku laughed out as Chi Chi stared at him. "How can I be that stupid? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!" Chi Chi's eyes teared up. "I know that was dumb of me, but I was desperate. I still love you. I even waited seven whole years after you died to come back." "Seven years?!" Goku gulped as he glanced at Bulma. "Ummm... how..."
"Long story." Gohan said as Chi Chi stared at the floor.
**What was I thinking? Goku obviously never loved me.** Chi Chi thought, **The only reason he married me was because of honor.** "Leave me alone." Chi Chi growled.
"Huh?"
"Go to Bulma!" Chi Chi screamed as she ran off.
"Mom!" Gohan yelled out as he followed her. Chi Chi ran to her room and knelt down crying. "Mom?" He asked as he came to her.
"Leave me alone." Chi Chi sobbed, "Don't you understand? Goku never loved me. I tricked him to marry me." **Oh, that's baloney.** King Kai said as Chi Chi looked up. **Chi Chi, Goku loves you.**
"Not anymore! Goku loves Bulma now!" **So? He's just confused right now. The point is that Goku had loved you always. When he was dead, he constantly talked about you and even looked after you in the Next Dimention.**
"He cared about me?"
**Of course he did. I know he may not act like it sometimes, but sometimes, I can see you in his dreams. Don't feel bad about it. Right now, you must fight for your love!** Chi Chi got up. "You're right! I can't let this defeat me." She put one foot on her cot as she proclaimed, "I WILL GET YOU BACK, GOKU!!!"
Gohan, who was standing there at the time, sweatdropped as he stepped out. **Better go and speed this ship up.** He thought as he went to front.
Meanwhile, Goku was in the dining area with the others. "Oh, I feel so bad. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings." "She'll be okay." Yamcha softly said as he nodded. "Chi Chi is a very strong woman." "Yeah, that's for sure." Piccolo agreed, "She just need to straighten out her head."
Goku leaned over to Yamcha and asked, "Is Chi Chi always so... reactive?"
"Unfortunately, yes." Yamcha replied, "Chi Chi is a warrior woman at heart."
"Mommy's great!" Goten argued as he looked up at his father's face. "She's real nice and she even helped me go Super Saiyan!"
"How?" Tomata asked, "How did you go Super Saiyan?"
"I don't know. It just happened." Goten said as Tomata banged her head on the table causing a dent to form.
"Why me?"
"You'll be a Super Saiyan." Goku said as he patted her shoulder.
"Yeah, trust me on this, you'll get it. You're very strong. Maybe, it take girls longer to become Super Saiyans." Yamcha said as Tomata smiled.
"Or, that she is not truly a Saiyan." Vegita sneered as Tomata lifted her head. "As far as I am concerned, you are not a Saiyan, nameless. You are lucky not to be dead by my hand."
"Yes, my lord." Tomata said as her cheeks turned red.
"Shut up!" Bulma screamed, "Her name is Tomata. She's more of a warrior than you were. Where were you when the Tormans attacked? Tomata fought those things day and night! She let herself starved in the nights because a small snack for her equals five meals. Every day, she kept Goku going and saved countless lives. Even when she was the only one left, she kept on going until she nearly died. Don't treat her like that anymore." "Yeah." Goku said as he got up, "Tomata is like a sister to me. If you kill her, I will destroy you. She helped me in the past six months. She taught me all she could about the Saiyans. Not an easy task since she was only seven when she was exiled from home for following her family's dream."
Vegita stared up at the two then at a stunned Tomata. Then, he sighed. "Blast it. Even without her memory, she can still get under my skin. Excuse me, I'll go and do some training." He got up and walked away.
"Wow." Trunks said as he gazed at Bulma. "You really put him in his place." "Incredible." Yamcha said, "I guess Bulma still have that influence on Vegita."
"Yeah." Puar agreed.
"You two were great." Tomata said as she smiled, "That was very brave of you two."
"You're a Saiyan like me." Goku said as he felt Vegita leaving. "Don't you forget it."
"I wish Vegita would see it like that." Tomata muttered as Gohan came in.
"Great news. I just did some readjustments on the ship. It'll take only a day now to get back." Gohan announced.
"Yay!" Goten cheered as he got up. "You'll love Earth, Daddy. It's big and green and has lots and lots of food." "I can't wait to see the rest of the people." Goku said as he grinned.
"Good." Krillian said as he glanced at Puar. "Hey, Puar, maybe you can help me show what the other warriors are like."
"Okay." Puar said as he went to an empty spot.
"First of all, there's Turtle." Krillian said as Puar transformed into Turtle.
"What is he?" Goku asked.
"A turtle." Master Roshi explained, "He house-sits for me."
"Odd." Tomata said as she glanced down at him. "He looks delicious." At once, everyone fell over, including Goku and Bulma.
"What?" Tomata asked.
"Don't eat anything that talks." Yamcha warned, "Just don't." "Right." Krillian laughed nervously as he continued. "Okay, next up is ummm... Videl."
Puar morphed into Videl and Gohan gasped. He had forgotten how good a shapeshifter Puar is. "Wow." "That's Gohan's future wife." Chi Chi said as she went up.
"Are you okay, Mom?" Gohan asked as he blushed wildly.
"I'm fine, sweetheart." Chi Chi said as she sat down.
"Is Videl and Gohan bonded?" Tomata asked curiously.
"Yes." Piccolo answered.
"No." Gohan denied.
"They did bond." Piccolo said, "Videl was able to sense that Gohan was alive even when everyone else couldn't sense him." "Wow." Goku said as he looked at a blushing Gohan. "When will you two get married?" Tomata asked curiously.
"Not her too." Gohan moaned as he buried his face in his hands.
Chi Chi smiled at the Saiyan. "I'm starting to like her attitude."
"Sounds like Videl is really nice." Goku commented, "What is she like?"
Gohan sighed. "She's very strong and smart. She's so beautiful." *****
Several hours passed as Gohan and the others take turns explaining their friends and allies.
"Mr. Satan is a very weak human. Any one of us can kill him in a second."
"Then why is he called the strongest man in the world?"
"Because he bribed us not to let anyone else know. Especially your mate."
*****
"Lunch is actually two women. Her blond form is more aggressive and prone to fighting."
"Like a Super Saiyan?"
"Yeah! I guess you can call it that."
*****
"So, Tien and Choutsu are best friends?"
"Yeah, they have been inseparable, even in the Next Dimention."
"Why do you keep on calling death that?"
"It sounds more realistic."
*****
Puar panted as he lay there. "I'm tired." "It's okay." Yamcha said as he picked up the small cat. "We better go to sleep." "*yawn* Yeah." Bulma agreed, "We have a long day tomorrow."
"Good." Vegita got out a suitcase and gave it to her. "Here's your sleeping attire."
Bulma blinked as she opened the suitcase. Inside was a long thick cottony nightgown. It was fresh and clean. "Oh, um... thank you." Bulma blushed lightly.
"I would've given you a more... lighter outfit, but I don't trust the old guy." Vegita said as he glared at Master Roshi.
"Heh heh, would I do anything like that?" Master Roshi asked as he looked away.
"YES!" Everyone except for Tomata, Goku, Bulma and Master Roshi yelled in unison.
"Here's something for you, Tomata." Chi Chi said as she handed the Saiyan woman a T-shirt and a loose pair of pants.
"Thank you." Tomata said as she bowed.
*****
"Did you brush your teeth?" Chi Chi asked.
"Yes, Mommy."
"Yes, Mom."
"We all did." Trunks said as he grinned.
"Good off to bed." Master Roshi said as everyone went into their cots. They were dressed in nightgowns and pajamas.
There was silence as everyone lay there. Goten and Trunks sighed as they tried to share the bed.
"Trunks?" Goten whispered.
"What?"
"Do you think Daddy and Bulma will leave us?"
"No way. As soon as the dragon makes the wish, Mommy and Goku will be back to normal." "But that's six months away! What if Daddy and Bulma get married?"
"Then, we won't let that happen. We can cure the amnesia ourselves." Trunks proclaimed. "It shouldn't be that hard. Grandpa can invent some sort of machine and bring back their memories."
"Really?"
"Of course."
*****
Bulma glanced at Tomata as she lay there. Her thoughts spun in her mind like a top. She love Orang or Goku and yet there is a man who loved her and had a son with her. How could she fell in love with Vegita? How can she have his son? True, Trunks is nice and very cute but Vegita isn't.
Yamcha was kind to her as well, despite the apparent bad past. She was amazed at the forgiveness he possessed. Why did she break up with the kind hearted scared man? Even if she can't love Yamcha, he can go with Tomata. They look good together.
*****
Goku lay there on his cot as he stared out. Who can he stay with? Chi Chi or Bluberri? Of course Bluberri is really Bulma but he didn't really care. He obvously have kids who loved him and would do anything to keep him. His heart ached as he looked up. How can he choose?
To Be Continued...
