****************************************************************************
Goku laid back as he watched Bulma run around her lab in a mad fashion.
"Bulma-Chan, I'm fine, stop worrying." He yawned.
She looked at him and scowled, "Goku, you're all I got left and I'm not about to assume you're healed, especially after the episode you just had so shut up and say AH."
Goku scratched his head, "But how can I say AH if you want me to shut up?" Seeing her eye twitch, he got the picture and opened his mouth.
As she inspected the Saiyajin, Bulma relayed a plan to him, "So Goku, I was thinking, if Gero created those…things…he must have put a catch in them or something he used to control them…alright Goku lay on your stomach. So I was thinking, that when you're up to it we can go search Gero's lab to see what we can…Goku…Goku?" She looked down at him. He was snoring.
She huffed and patted his back, "Or you can take a nap and worry about it later." She smiled and yawned, "Guess I'll hit the hay too then, night Goku." She closed the door and went to her room.
****************************************************************************
"17, I can't believe you blew that mall up! I wasn't done shopping yet!" 18 pouted.
He smirked, "Oh, stop you're pouting, I was just looking for a suitable tie breaker."
"I can't take you anywhere 17, honestly!" the blonde android complained as she crossed her arms.
***************************************************************************
Bulma sat at the edge of her bed trying to make some sense of the day's events. "That's the problem…" she groaned, "None of it makes sense."
Yamcha…Vegeta…Gohan…Krillin…Tien…Piccolo…Chi-Chi…it was too much too soon. She tried not to think about it right then though, there was no point dwelling on it right before she went to sleep. She needed to keep a cool head anyway, if only for Goku's sake.
She held back an ironic laugh, as she realized how much that boy had changed her. The way he made her see the good in people and in the world around her, the way he tried to keep her calm when she would freak out over small things or the way he could laugh off almost anything. Thank Kami he was still there, if he wasn't she didn't know what she would do.
Earlier that day she had pleaded with him to postpone his desired confrontation with the androids. She had never seen him so hopelessly angry before. She hugged herself remembering the conversation.
{"I'll kill them…" he growled uncharacteristically, breaking away from her embrace.
"No Goku! You can't…you're not up to it yet." She pleaded reaching for him.
They have to pay!" he responded coldly.
"Please Goku! They will but going in there blindly to get yourself killed is ridiculous."
He hissed between his teeth, "Ridiculous?! They just…" he panted, "murdered my wife, son and best friends…" his face grew pale hot, "Ridiculous? Bulma…"He heaved as he tried to take in a breath, "I have…to…make…them…pay…" he collapsed.
"Goku!" she ran to his prone body, quickly examining it. Did he relapse? How could he have? Her mind was racing with possibilities and concerns. Was he getting enough air? Had her medication caused some sort of side effect? Think Bulma! Think! The air car!
She took the capsule out of her pocket and threw it ahead of her, "alright Goku…we're gonna get you home and take care of you." She struggled to lift him into the back seat and secure him. She crawled over him and fastened the seat belt when she saw the look of almost unbearable pain etched across her face. She lowered her blue eyes and whispered, "My poor Goku." She climbed out and shut the car door.
"Breathe Bulma…Breathe," she said as she knelt next to Gohan and closed his eyes, "Gohan…I…wish…if only…I'm sorry kid…" Her eyes closed freeing the tears that had been welling up in them for so long. She then went over to Chi-Chi and wiped away the hair that was in her face, "Chi-Chi I promise, I'll take care of him for you." She sighed and stood up; she had to tend to Goku now. She walked to the car and gave Goku's mountain home one final look over before rising away in the air car never to return to it.}
Bulma turned over in her bed remembering the earlier anguish. She had to keep him for being so irrational; it's what got Vegeta killed. Somehow she had to…somehow…She drifted into a dreamless sleep.
***************************************************************************
Goku's sleep however, wasn't nearly as dreamless. As he laid on his cot in Bulma's lab he groaned and turned violently…
***************************************************************************
He was at Capsule Corp. that he knew, in Bulma's lab to be exact but she was nowhere to be found. Goku scratched his head and called to his long time friend with no avail After a few minutes, he shrugged and decided he'd wait in there until she came back and while she was gone there would surely be no harm in him looking around.
He looked about the beeping room for something to play with when his eyes spotted something interesting. "OoOoOoh…what does this button do?" the innocent Saiyajin asked in wonder as he began pressing every key on Bulma's computer until smoke began pouring out of the screen and a blue screen began flashing something about danger. "Uh oh I better leave that alone." Goku laughed backing away from the burning computer cautiously. Suddenly from another part of the compound he heard an explosion. He went to go inspect when a piercing bright light engulfed him and then suddenly it was dark again. He went to go investigate again when the figure of a woman began walking toward him, clutching her stomach. "G…Goku." She whispered before collapsing a few feet away from him.
The Saiyajin ran to the prone figure, "Chi?" is eyes widened as he saw the blue strands of astrewn hair. He gasped, "Bulma? Bulma?!" He kneeled down and lifted her into his lap. The androids had gotten her too. He let out a despaired cry as he held the lifeless body of the woman who had brought him on his first adventure in hi. arms. He caressed her chin and trembled. He couldn't even protect her…he was weak…so weak.
***************************************************************************
Goku rolled off of the cot and crashed to the floor with a thump. It had been a dream, a horrible, life-altering dream...but a dream nonetheless.
"Bulma…" he whispered, leaving the lab in search of her. He decided it would be safer to keep Bulma in his sight at all times, considering his track record with psychic dreams was 2-0 now. He cracked open the door of what he remembered to be her room and peered in, it was too dark to make out the figure on the bed. "Bulma?" he whispered waiting a few moments for a response before proceeding. She was fast asleep.
He knelt beside her and smiles sweetly. She still looked like she did the first day he saw her, free and adventurous He wiped a few strands of hair out of her face and kissed her forehead, "I swear to you Bulma-chan, I won't let any harm come to you." He climbed to the further side of the bed and curled up. He would protect her with his life if he had to. She was all that stood between him and madness. His eyes shut and fell into his first restful, finally dreamless sleep.
