Mako layed in her bed looking up at the celling. Soon she would have to go to some stupid idiotic doctor all because of what happened last night. She just couldn't put her words on what happened, soon she was fine and the nex second, this splitting pain went through her body, the next second she was fine again. It confused her deeply. She sighed might as well get it over with.



Chi Chi suddenly stopped on her cake. "Are you ready to go Mako!?" she yelled at her daughter. "Trunks will be here any moment, and your apointment is in 15 minutes! You can't be late! They'll skip you and you'll miss dinner!"

"I guess." the girl responded appearing at the doorway. "But I swear I'm fine now!"

"Don't sass me little girl!" Chi Chi yelled waving her spatula.

"You're my little girl and I care about you so much. You're the only one of my children that isn't part of your father's little gang."

"MOM! I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm 16 for crying out loud!"

"Don't mom me. You are going to that appointment weither you like it our not."

Before Mako could resond to her mother the doorbell rang. "Come on in Trunks!" Chi Chi called and soon Trunks appeared.

"Ya ready to go sweety?" Trunks asked as he wrapped his arm around Mako.

"Just about." she responded. "I gotta go get my shoes."

"Okay, I'll be waiting in the car okay?"

"Sure. I'll be right out."

"You know I still don't completely like you going out with him. He's a bad influence."

"Mom!" 'How many times do we have to go through this?' "He's from a nice family, and he's sweet."

"I guess, but I'm not sure if I aprove of you fighting and all. You know the only reason I allowed you to was I realize even if I said no you would do it anyway."

"Mom!" she tried again. "We go through this whole thing everytime Trunks comes and picks me up! You always come out about Dad and his little gang." she made little marks with her hands. "And Trunks ends up waiting in the car forever."

"If he was a real gentlemen he would wait for you in the house."

"If he waited for me in the house would you stop saying you don't aprove of him?"

"Maybe. And you know the only reason that he's taking you is because everyone had previous engangments remember our little thing we have to go to at Kame's lookout." she watched her daughter moan.

"Why does my appointment have to be at the same time?"

"Just because they didn't have any other times availble. Not until next week or so."

"Then I could have gone next week it's not serious!"

"You don't know that." Suddenly the horn sounded. "4 minutes not bad. Better than last time. He's not very patienct is he?" Her mom laughed.

"Shut up mom." Mako replied grabbing her coat.



Mako sat on the docter's bench nerviously. One reason she didn't want to go was she was afraid of what they might find. "Is it serious." Mako whispered worryingly. "How long do I have. The docter laughed. 'Why the hell is he laughing?!' she asked herself annoyed. 'Did he find humor in her pain?'

"Nothing is wrong Miss on you're scan or anything. You're about the healthest person who I see."

"Okay thanks." Mako deeply breathing in releif. But now a new worry came into her mind. 'What if something is really bad and he doesn't want to tell me? What if I have some new diesese that there's no cure for? What if...' she was suddenly cut off by the doctor.

"Is there anything wrong Miss?" he asked genuinely worried about her.

"No, I'm okay." 'Or an I?'



"So how did it go?" Trunks asked after he noticed his girlfriend staring out of the window.

"Okay I guess, I mean the doctor wasn't mean if that's what you mean." Mako answered not taking her eyes off the window.

"You know what I mean, Mako. How are you?" Trunks asked.

"I'm fine." Mako stated in a monotone voice.

"I don't mean now Mako!" he yelled angrily. "I wanna know how you are doing?"

"I already said Trunks! I'm fine!" Mako yelled tears glistening in her eyes.

"Mako." he stated softly. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you."

"It's not your fault." Mako stated leaning against Trunks chest crying into it.

"Yes it is. I should have never yelled at you, I mean expessiouly since what's going on." he suddenly stopped.

"The doctor told you something didn't he? He said something to me that he didn't tell me."

"No, he didn't. Actually I never talked to the doctor." he started to run his hand through her hair trying to comfort her.

"Something has to be wrong. You saw what happened with me, I wasn't all right." she started crying harder. "I don't want to die Trunks."

"You're not gonna die." he stated comfortly. 'Not if I have any say in it.'

"You know that you can't stop that."

"I know Mako, I know." he stated looking up at the sky. 'What's going on?'



"I wonder what's taking them so long." Goten stated looking over at his girlfriend.

"How am I suppose to know? Do I look physic or something?" Marron teased.

"Nope, but I guess I'm a little worried. I mean it doesn't take.." he stopped to look at his watch. "2 hours to go the doctor does it?"

"Don't worry." his mom spoke up. "Knowing those two they probebly got skipped or decided to go somewhere afterwords."

"Mom's right." Gohan stated.

Goten sighed. "But how come they can't come sooner? I wanna eat now!"

"You can eat in a little bit okay?" Chi Chi said motherly.

"That's what you said 2 hours ago!" Goten complained.

"We should wait at least a 5 more minutes. Then I guess we can start." Bulma said as she bounced the crying Trunks on her leg.
