Chapter 12: Forgiveness
Gohan finally caught up with Cleo in a cornfield close to NYC. It was dark and Cleo was sitting on a rock crying. She couldn't believe her father had said that to her, a six-year old girl left in a cornfield, was she supposed to stay, she would have been caught sooner or later, and she wanted to find the only Saiyan left on this planet, Kakarot, or Goku. She didn't understand why her father hadn't left her with Goku in the first place. Gohan came over to her, "You OK," he asked. " Fine, I'm just fine, now GO, before you attract my father he's the last person I want to see, I'll see you later," Cleo snapped and then she ran farther in the cornfield and lowered her ki as low as it would go without damaging her.
Vegeta was angry, "What's her problem, I come back to spend time with her and she goes and runs off," he yelled. "Um, I really need some one to pick up this needle, then I can help you Vegeta, even if you don't want the help just pick up the needle," Goku said, freaking out. Krillin walked over, picked up the needle, and threw it into the sea, "There now stop crying Goku, you're worse than a baby." "All right Kakarot, you said you would help I want any one close to her to come with me to calm her down," Vegeta said. Piccolo, Krillin, Bulma and Trunks all went over to Vegeta and Goku and got ready to transmit. "Where is she, there's Gohan and there's a really low ki next to him, is it her, no way her ki was 10x higher when she left," Goku said, debating whether or not it was her, all the Z warriors tried it, then Trunks spoke up, "it's her , she lowered it, cuz that's the same level as when she's sleeping, or when she tries to hide from me cuz I won't leave her alone." "K, you sure Trunks," Goku asked. "Definitely," Trunks confirmed. They went off to the field and sure enough no sooner did they settle then did Gohan hush them and told them to lower their ki. Too late, Cleo felt them, "I know you're there, no use hiding it, come on out." The seven went to the same clearing as she was in and she said, "You know, I'll never understand why you left me alone, you could have left me with Goku and Chi-Chi, at least I wouldn't have gotten hit over the head there." "You might of, Chi fancies her frying pan," Goku laughed. "SHUT UP DAD," Gohan yelled at his father. "I didn't leave you with Kakarot because he is nothing but a baka," Vegeta said, "He acts like a chibi half the time and he does not respect royalty."
"HEY, I'M NOT A BAKA OR DO I ACT LIKE A CHIBI, AND YOU ARE AN EXCEPTION, BESIDES KRILLIN AND PICCOLO YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND," Goku to a minute to breathe, "AND IF I'M A BAKA THEN WHY DID YOU FUSE WITH ME!!" "I needed your strength so I could beat that bubble gum thing," Vegeta said, "Baka." "HEY IT WAS MY SPIRIT BOMB THAT BEAT HIM," Goku yelled. "ANY WAY HE WAS NOT DEFEATED HE BECAME GOOD AND IF YOU DON'T STOP CALLING ME A BAKA I WILL BLOW YOU TO THE NEXT DIUMENSION!" "Baka," Vegeta taunted. "THAT"S IT," Goku yelled, "KA MEH HA.....," Cleo realized what was happening Goku was going to try to kill her father, "MEH HA!!!!!!" As the beam neared Vegeta, Cleo jumped in front of it, taking the full blow, Bulma screeched and fainted Trunks and Krillin yelled "NO!" Piccolo had to restrain Gohan from killing Goku but he didn't even bother going to Vegeta. Cleo had never felt pain like this, not even when Tom whacked her with the broom, or when the other kids had tried to pull her tail off, or stepped on it. Vegeta looked down at his daughter, and for the first time since he had launched into the sky after leaving her, he cried, he didn't try to kill Goku, he sat down next to his daughter and cried. "I forgive you Daddy," that was the last thing Cleo said before she went unconscious.
