Bulma lay spread across her bed, she looked at the ceiling with
Vegeta snoring into her chest. He had fallen asleep there. in a cute way.
The sheet over them was too thin so she pulled the blanket from the beds
base to cover them up; being careful not to wake Vegeta as she did so. His
long spiky hair brushed against her face as she moved back and giggled
lightly. His hair always ticked her she thought and looked at her husband
sleeping innocently over her. Something had changed him though, in a good
way. In only one day he became caring and gentle, like something became
obvious to him.
Bulma continued pondering these thoughts, Vegeta snored lightly and snuggled deeper into her chest like a soft pillow. She smiled and laughed lightly when his voice rang into her body.
"Bulma?" He said groggy.
"Ya honey?" Bulma replied, pretending to be tired herself.
"Am I staring at and sleeping on what I think I am?" he asked. Bulma laughed lightly.
"Yes" She said, still laughing.
"Good." Vegeta said and kissed into her chest then rested his head down again and wrapped his arms around his wife's body. Bulma laughed more.
"Vegeta? What happened to you today?" She decided that this would be the best time to ask, when he was to tired to lie and argue with her.
"I got beat up." Bulma laughed again.
"Not that! I mean, how come you changed so much?" She said.
"Changed? How so?" He asked, his voice still muffled from the blanket covering over his head and speaking into Bulma's chest.
"Your. kinder. gentler. You haven't yelled at me once, and haven't kissed me before like you had in the lab since we were just married." Her laughter ceased and she awaited an answer.
"Because. someone, without knowing, helped me remember why I love you so much." He said and picked his head up and slid it out of the blanket. He slimbered his body up to look into Bulma's eyes with her head resting on the pillow. Vegeta placed a hand on her cheek and Bulma bit her lip as he leaned down to her.
"And I wish I had never forgotten." His final words struck Bulmas heart as he kissed her deeply, she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Trunks and Goten peered around the corner of the hallway.
"Nope. She's still there." Trunks said looking at Chi Chi who sat worried in the Kitchen. They had been waiting for her to doze off for the past hour so they could make there get away, but she still didn't look tired. They thought about powering up and moving so she couldn't see them but Chi Chi would be able to sense them still. They would sneak out a window if there was one in the two rooms behind them but there wasn't. Goten walked back into Trunks' room where Bra was sleeping innocently in his bed.
"I wish I had a little sister Trunks." He said and smiled at Bra.
"Why. You have Gohan for a brother, that's about the coolest thing in the world." Trunks replied.
"Not if you're his brother, trust me." He said, remembering being smashed into the wall earlier that day.
"But he's super strong, though I think I could beat him. But he doesn't even have to go Super Saiyan!" Trunks said excitedly.
"He used to. He used to have to use the second level even." Goten pointed out.
"So. When were Gotenks, we can use the third level!" Trunks said.
"How many Super Saiyan levels do you think there are Trunks?" Goten asked, pondering his own question.
"I bet there's tons! Yep. Were just at the tip of the iceberg. I bet we will be stronger then Gohan any day now!" Trunks said enthusiastically.
"But. we haven't fused in along time. How do we know we can even fuse anymore." He said scratching the back of his head.
"I don't know, do you remember the fusion dance?" Trunks asked him. Goten nodded and took a pose.
"Fuuuuuuuu" He took 3 steps away from Trunks, his arms moved out stretched from his right to his left.
"SHION!" Goten stood strait and crossed his leg over the other, set as a knee. His hands moved back to their first position.
"HHAAAA!" he yelled and arched his back sideways. His fingers pointed out and he accidentally slammed his head against the wall. A hole burst threw and he fell to the wet ground out side.
"SHHHH!!!!" Trunks said placing his fingers over his lips and looked at Bra. She stirred and then snuggled deeper into the large blanket. Letting out a baby yawn she fell back asleep. Trunks stepped out of the hole and Goten nursed his head.
"Ow, ow ow ow ow ow" Goten said rapidly and felt the bump on his head.
"Hey. You remember." Trunks said and gave a "Vegeta" smirk.
"Come on. There's a monster out there and were gonna get it!" He said triumphantly as though they had already won. Trunks took to the sky, fallowed by Goten.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Videl smiled, flying along side Gohan and Maron a little bit in front of them. Maron turned back every once in a while to see if they were still there. Gohan was very surprised.
"Maron? Who taught you how to fly?" He asked puzzled. He remembered giving Videl flying lessons. They had gone incredibly well but Vide was a martial artist and very strong. Maron on the other hand hardly ever fought, unless it was for a good pair of clothes she liked.
"Mommy taught me." She said. Gohan thought about the beautiful #18. No one really knew her real name, but they know she had one at one time or another. Krillin, his best friend for a long time but they just didn't see each other much any more, was very lucky to have 18 as his wife, but her brother was very protective about their marriage.
"How long did it take you to learn how to fly?" Videl asked. Maron turned back to them and slowed down so she was in between them.
"A few months." She said happily
"That's pretty good." He said happily, Maron looked cheerful at him. . Gohan couldn't control flying till he was eight.
"So how fast can you go?" Maron asked Videl. She smiled.
"Fast enough." Videl said happily and looked at Gohan.
"But Gohan could have us to CC by now" She stated. Maron looked amazed. They could hardly see the lights from West City even.
"How long would it take you to get there now Gohan?" Maron asked excitedly.
"Well. In my weakened state right now, Id say it take about 11 seconds. But if I wasn't in so much pain it would be much faster." He said.
"Wow! That's fast! Could you show us?!" The young girl asked anxiously.
"How about I bring you both along." Gohan said happily.
"Really! You mean it!" Maron was jumping for joy, though there wasn't really a ground to jump on.
"Ya. Just hold on tight." He out stretched his arms and Maron hugged his chest tightly, he flinched a little. Videl then flew under him and hugged to him as well, pinning Maron between them.
"Gah! Squashed!" She said helplessly. Videl giggled.
"I don't want to fall off Maron." She said and Maron turned her head side ways.
"I want you to so I can be allll alone with Gohan." Gohan blushed but ignored the comment.
"Ready?" he asked like always and wrapped his arms around Videl.
"Yep
"Lets go!" Maron shouted. Gohan burst into incredible speeds. The night sky of stars all turned into moving lines. Maron gulped and Videl hugged on tighter. After a few seconds of rushing wind Maron began laughing and shouting.
"Faster! Faster!" she screamed over the ear piercing wind. Gohan surprised even himself when he burst into even more extreme speeds. For a moment Videl felt to be slipping, Gohan held her tighter and Maron made a comment about being squished that was lost in the wind.
Before they knew it West City was below them. Gohan slowed down, almost missing the CC building. He landed and Videl leg to immediately, thankful to feel the ground again Maron hopped down to. As Maron walked around dazedly Videl turned around. She gazed back at the mountains. Maron regained her composer and started prancing around.
"Again! Again! Again!" she said jumping up and down.
"Gohan?" Maron said. Videl turned around. Gohan was on his knees, breathing heavily and clutching a hand to his chest. He fought to keep conscious, his vision blurred in and out. Before Videl could do anything he passed out.
Chi Chi came running out side. She ran immediately to Gohan and slid to the ground next to him, along side Videl.
"Gohan!" Chi Chi yelled and placed a hand over his cheek. Maron started crying.
"Is he dead?" she asked sadly.
"No Maron. Don't even say that!" Chi Chi yelled. Maron balled louder. Videl swept into panic.
"Go get Bulma." Chi Chi yelled. Videl only stared at Gohan. He cringed in pain.
"Videl!" Chi Chi screamed. Videl snapped out of her trance and ran into the house. Chi Chi slid his red Gi training shirt off and then his blue one.
"Oh Gohan. Look at what that monster did to you." She examined the burns over his chest, the dry and wet blood in cretin points. Trying to soak up the blood with Gohan's shirt she closed her eyes as tears rolled down her face. Maron was watching as well and crying.
Videl came back out of the house, fallowed by Vegeta who was only wearing boxers and then Bulma who was wearing a robe over her under garments. She was caring a small case with her. Videl slid next to Chi Chi and looked at Gohan's wound.
"It didn't look nearly that bad an hour ago." She said. Chi Chi eyed her for a second and Bulma kneeled across from them. She opened the case and pulled out a needle and a small canister. Poking the needle into it she drained out the fluid.
Maron was still crying, she felt someone lift her up and press her against their bare chest. Maron hugged the person tightly and felt a little better. She looked up to meet Vegetas eyes. He stared transfixed on Gohan. Bulma took the shot and placed into Gohan's neck. She injected the substance quickly. Just as all of it entered into his body, Gohan sprang up and the needle snapped. Videl helped Chi Chi hold Gohan down and Bulma pulled the needle from his neck. He panted heavily and cringed in pain. Dropping his back to the ground. His breathing calmed in only seconds and Bulma let out a sigh of relief then whipped her arm across her fore head.
"He's going to be ok. I haven't got a machine to heal his burns though. We need to get him inside so I can examine how bad this is." She lifted up one of Gohan's arms and slung it over her shoulder. Videl moved to take his other but Chi Chi pushed her away and lifted Gohan up by his other arm. They walked steadily to door, Gohan's feet dragged on the ground. Videl stared at the ground, Vegeta offered his free hand and she took it. She stood up and whipped away her tears and sat on the patio out side the door. Vegeta walked in side and Maron had stopped crying. Videl was left alone. She stared up at the sky and prayed Gohan would be ok. The cold wind passed over her face, she thought about the clothes she was wearing and how cold it was. How badly Gohan's wound had looked. Before, it was hardly as bad at it reached now. She felt like crying but couldn't muster up the tears to do so.
It seemed like hours when Bulma walked back outside alone. She sat down next to Videl and opened her mouth to speak.
