Hope Lives On
By: Ponytail Goddess
Chapter 8: The Eyesight
Her eyes felt odd as she stumbled out of Dr. Experte's office and into the fresh air of the outdoors. Grandma Bulma grabbed her arm and led her slowly towards the car.
Hope's head was aching. She let her hand drift up to the soft material that was covering her eyes. She had just had laser eye surgery. Everything seemed to be going so fast in this time. It seemed like she had arrived here just yesterday.
*Perhaps it is an effect of time travel*
"Oh you poor dear! Let's get you home!" Bulma exclaimed, obviously noticing her staggering. Hope totally agreed with Bulma as she got into the air car carefully, as to not bump her head on the door as she had before.
*~*~*~*~*
Upon arriving at the mansion, Hope immediately stumbled up to the guest room that had been deemed her own. She fell onto the plush bed and lost consciousness upon impact.
"Hmph", muttered a low voice that belonged to the man who was leaning against the bedroom wall, watching his great granddaughter intensely.
After a few moments he pushed off the wall and walked up to her. He glared down at her. He grabbed up the covers and tucked her in as gently as was possible for a man of his strength. With one last look at her, he left the room as silently as he had entered it, making sure that nobody saw him make his exit. He headed to the gravity room to get his afternoon workout.
*~*~*~*~*
"Daddy?"
No answer.
"Daddy?"
Silence.
The silence was killing her. Nobody was there. It was just dark and silent. Too quiet. Something was wrong. She could feel it.
Wait.
She wasn't alone. Someone else was there as well.
Hope's breathing quickened immediately as she felt a presence around her. She couldn't place where exactly it was coming from, she just knew it was there.
"Wh-who's there?" She whispered.
The only sound she heard was the light breeze around her, blowing unsteadily. There was a storm brewing around her. Sweat trickled down her forehead as she whirled around, not knowing where the person was. "Come out!" She demanded shakily.
"Help me someone........." She whimpered, cowering in fear. She could feel raindrops slamming on her body painfully now. The wind had picked up even more, whipping her wet hair around wildly.
Suddenly a strong hand grabbed her arm. She screamed. Hope was pulled against a hard body. Then it clicked. She calmed immediately.
"Gosan.........thank Dende.........."
A voice that was deeper than an ocean let out a small, amused laugh. Hope's eyes widened. "Wrong answer."
She screamed and screamed and shot up out of bed. She breathed in breath after heavy breath of fresh air and slowly wiped the sweat beads from her forehead. *Just a dream...........It was just a dream.*
Slowly her heart rate went back to a normal pace. She sighed and fell back onto her pillows, nothing but Gosan on her mind. Her fingers immediately found their way to her ring finger and touched the area where her ring had once been. *Gosan.............*
Tears welled up in her eyes. Gently Hope removed the padding that was over her eyes without even thinking about it and wiped away her tears. She sniffled and then took her hands away from her eyes.
"ACK!!!" She exclaimed, immediately shutting her eyes. So bright........what the .........?!?!?
Then Hope remembered. The eye surgery.
Cautiously, she flickered her eyes open again. She was astounded by what she saw, taken aback immediately.
There were.........different colors......... *......Wow..........*
Hope smiled. This was amazing. She could see the colors that all of the things were. Slowly she got to her feet and clutched the wall, feeling for the windowpane. When she found it she carefully opened it up and looked outside. She squinted her eyes as the bright light of the sun shinned down on her, the warm rays hitting her skin wonderfully.
She looked down and saw a vast amount of the same color on the ground. *that must be the grass...........which means that is the color green! I see green!*
Hope could've sang and danced. She could see!!!!
*~*~*~*~*
Vegeta came out of the gravity room exhausted and sweaty. He had stayed in there extra long today. The woman had been hanging off of him all morning. She was all worried about the grandbrat. She apparently hadn't been awake for 24 hours.
Vegeta, however, knew that she was just fine. He could feel her ki. It had remained steady while he had been paying attention to it. However, the woman never listened to him and went on worrying, imagining worst-case scenarios.
*Crazy bitch, I hope she's gotten over it by now.*
He looked up and did a double take. Was that.........it was! It was Hope-chan, leaning out the window, looking rather happy. He hadn't seen her show this much emotion before. She looked all excited and almost giggly.
Vegeta scrunched up his nose. Hopefully she wasn't as spacey as Mrs. Briefs. That would be rather disgraceful.
"What are you doing brat?" He called up to her, trying his best not to sound too concerned.
"Grandpa, is that you!?! Grandpa, I can see!!!" She called back, now leaning out the window so far that Vegeta was a bit scared for her safety. She looked as through she might fall right out it.
"Go tell your grandmother!"
"OK!!!!!" She exclaimed as she ducked back into her room and disappeared.
Vegeta smirked, happy that his granddaughter was now happy.
