I stood there looking at both of them. I was thinking about the bright side. If I was going to die, at least Krillin and Eighteen were going to kill me. Krillin pushed me to my car and brought his destructo disc closer and closer to my neck. I guess I was going to die painfully. My heart was beating loudly and I was breathing hard.

"So why have you always wanted to kill me?" I asked them both.

"Who said we've always wanted to kill you. I've always liked you, Rich!" Krillin yelled as he threw the destructo disc away and gave me a hug.

"From the moment we met you, Rich, we thought of you two getting together, but we never told anyone," Eighteen said as she threw the disc away.

"We know that you had a great personality toward women," Krillin said as he shook my hand.

I was frozen. I couldn't move, breathe, or even blink. I was scared to death. I lightened up and started to smile with them. After a few moments of laughing, they went inside while I went back to Capsule Corporation. Everyone came back and started laughing and talking. Vegeta instead checked if anything was stolen. I guess he didn't trust me yet. That night, I couldn't sleep. I decided to go for a little drive. When I was walking through the lobby, someone called me from the dark.

"Going somewhere, Rich?" Vegeta asked as he walked into the light.

"I'm going for a little drive. I'll be back," I told him.

"While you're out, see if any flower shops are still open. If there are, get me a dozen of roses," He said as he gave me some money.

"Look, Vegeta, you got to do this by yourself. Can you actually look Bulma in the eye and tell her you went through hell to get roses for her?" I asked him.

"Yes," He answered.

"I could never do that to my wife. If you want something for her, they should be from you and only you. You can't say that I went to this place for you or Trunks and Bra went to this place for you. When are you going to learn that it takes two people to keep a marriage.not three or more," I told him as I gave his money back and walked out of the lobby.

As I started to drive, I saw that Vegeta started to fly. The next morning, Trunks and I woke up and saw Vegeta and Bulma in the kitchen. We decided to look at them through a little window from their other room. Vegeta gave her the roses and started talking.

"Uh, these are for you. I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to get you some flowers," He told her.

"No, way. That has to be a lie. Did you get those for him?" Trunks asked me.

"No, I didn't. Sshh," I said to quiet Trunks down.

"Vegeta, these are so beautiful. Thank you," She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek and placed them in a vase.

Vegeta paused there for a few seconds and started moving again. He felt as if his work was done and moved to the room I was in. Vegeta looked at me for a few seconds and then kept walking. Chi-Chi and Goten came a few minutes later and Bulma just told Chi-Chi what Vegeta did. Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Videl served us some food an hour later. We all started talking around the table. The people around the table were Bra, Bulma, Chi-Chi, Gohan, Goten, Pan, Trunks, Vegeta, Videl and me.

"Rich, how many more days left you have here?" Chi-Chi asked me.

"Probably soon. I don't want it to look like I'm living off you guys," I answered.

Everybody started talking to me to tell me that it didn't seem that I was living off them.

"You can stay as long as you want," Vegeta said as everybody stopped eating.

"There's a first," Goten blurted out through the silence.

Bra nudged him in the stomach and smiled with him. Vegeta started eating again and the others followed. After we were finished with breakfast, Trunks decided to talk to me.

"I don't what you did to my father, but I'll take it," Trunks told me.

"Whatever, man," I said with a smile as I met with the others to plan our day.

The whole day, we just walked around to pass the time. In the night, we decided to go to the amusement park. We picked up Marron and went to the place. We all separated and told each other to meet at the entrance when it closes. Bra went with Goten, Pan went with Trunks, and Marron went with me. I won Marron a huge stuffed dog and a new diary. We talked and talked and we got to know each other better. I told her about how I met Goten and about the time I found the dragonballs. We saw Krillin and Eighteen at the place where you hit the thing to make the meter go up. I guess Krillin and Eighteen wanted to fool the people. Krillin got up and nailed it. The thing that goes up flew away and the audience looked in shock. I smiled and laughed because Eighteen kept pointing out to other people that Krillin was her man.

"My parents are so funny," Marron told me.

"Yeah, they are," I told her as I smiled.

We met up with the others back at the entrance. Pan and Trunks didn't look at each other. Instead, they looked really pissed. After I dropped all of them back home, I decided to talk to Trunks. Bra was sleeping over at Pan's house while Goten slept at Capsule Corporation. Of course he was sleepy so I was on my own. Trunks was in his kitchen and he opened a can of soda. I got one of my own and sat with him. I decided to talk to him about Pan tomorrow. We were both really tired and we went to sleep. In the morning, I decided to talk to Trunks, but he wasn't home. I called Goten's house and he said he wasn't there either. We all knew now that Trunks ran away. I met up with Bra, Pan, and Goten. Pan started crying.

"It's all my fault!" She kept yelling at herself.

At the time none of us could sense his ki. Goten then asked me a question that was very hard to answer right now.

"Dead or alive, Rich?" He asked as it echoed through my head.
