Vegan wanted to go swimming, and she would, despite kakarotto's objections.

'You'll mess up your hair.'

'I can pin it up in a bun.'

'You- your dress! You'll mess it up!'

Vegan rolled her eyes and slid off her dress, and kicked off her shoes.

'Problem solved.'

She turned to Kakarott to see how he dealt with his defeat, only to find him looking at his feet, blushing.

'I, uh-' he cleared his throat and laughed. 'Since I married, the only bare breast I've seen belong to Chi Chi.'

Since Nappa's death, the only naked man she's seen was Bloomer, and they haven't been intimate since the tournament.

'I'm not ashamed of my body, but if you're uncomfortable-'

'No, it's not-' he peeked at her, then ogled her body. 'Oh, god.'

Her body wasn't as taut as during the Cell Games, but she knew it was favorable for a woman with a child. It was better than most human women without children. She wasn't going to let him criticize her body.

'Kakarott-'

'It's- it's like I've never seen you before! Have- have you always been this lovely? Are all sayain women this stunning, or is it just you?'

How to answer such a question?

Kakarotto might gain a victory, after all.

'I can grab a bra-'

'I'm fine.'

'Uh, will you join me?'

'Ok.'

Vegan jumped into the water as Kakarotto began to undress. When she resurfaced, he was standing on the shore's edge with his boxers on. Kakarott had an athletic body, which she knew, but she never actually looked at his body. Bloomer has a toned body, whereas Kakarott's is muscular but lean, unlike Nappa's or Raditz's shredded body.

Her eyes wandered down, and she was disappointed that he wasn't nude, then realized that would complicate things between them.

'Do you want-? Should I turn away?' She asked.

'What do you mean?'

'I've heard that you are unabashed when it comes to nudity-'

'You don't get naked on your second date. Even I know that.'

'Right.'

He jumped in and swam over to her; she felt herself blushing. 'What's wrong?'

'Nothing; this is the first time I've seen your body without warfare.'

'I've never seen your body before..' His eyes went to her breast. 'What was Bloomer thinking, letting you go?'

'He loved Yamcha; he never stopped.'

'Vegan?'

'Hmm?'

'Did you love Bloomer?'

'Of course, you don't have a child with someone and not care about them!'

'Apparently, Bloomer can.'

Yes, apparently, he can. I'm tired; I think it's time to call it a night.'

'Oh, Vegan-'

'Kakarotto, I'm exhausted.'

'How do you make someone fall in love with you?'

'You're asking me?!' Gohan choked.

Gohan and Videl invited him to their apartment for tea, and they wanted to check on the man. Gohan hadn't heard from the man in a while; he was a little concerned.

'I mean, you made Videl love you.'

'Dad,' Gohan blushed his father's words, 'i didn't make her do anything. People fall in love at their own pace.' Gohan played with his spoon. 'Are you trying to win mom back?'

Goku paused and looked away, then shook his head. 'I'm seeing someone else.'

'Who?! Does mom know?! How has this been going on?!'

'It's... Vegan.'

'Vegan?! Bloomer's Vegan?!'

'She's not his anymore. He doesn't even respect her; he told me that Yamcha was a better mother to Trunks.'

'Did you tell Vegan that?'

'Or course not, that would destroy her. On the night Bloomer proposed to Yamcha, I thought she would kill herself.'

'What?!'

'I think I overreacted, but she was in the water a long time.'

'Yamcha and Bloomer are getting married?!'

'He told me at your mother's party.'

'I wonder why mom didn't mention it.'

'Maybe Bloomer's waiting to tell Trunks.'

'Goten wants to spend time with you-'

'I'll get him now!'

'Where did you guys go last night?' Eighteen asked.

The two women were having a cup of coffee and cake; marron was playing with her toys.

'We went home.' Vegan said into her cup, unsure of how to proceed.

'You two looked pretty comfortable together.'

'How can you not be comfortable with him?'

'Did you guys...?'

'No, but,' Vegan paused and sipped some of her coffee, 'I challenged him last night.'

'How?'

'I challenged him to me I fall in love with him.'

'Weird, but I'm cool with it.'

'What?'

'Contrary to popular belief, you deserve to be happy, and Goku deserves the world after all he's done; why not be happy to together?'

Why not be happy together?

'Have you seen Trunks?'

'No, we hardly do the weekly bunch anymore.'

'Why not?'

'I hate Yamcha.'

'But it's the only way I can know about Trunks without intruding.'

'That woman is such a ditz!'

'Yes, I'm aware.'

'But I'll do you a solid and stop by later.'

'Thank you.'

'I'll ask Bloomer about his wedding...'

Vegan glanced at her. 'When are they...?'

'I don't know; he's never mentioned it.'

'Maybe they did it in secret.' Vegan lamented. 'He mentioned that he would do it secretly to have privacy.'

'He mentioned it?'

'When they broke up, he used to talk about the life they could have had together.'

'Who talks about their ex with their new lover?'

'We were friends in the beginning. I don't want to hear about him; I just want to hear about my son.'

'Fine, I will suffer so you can know about Trunks.'

Vegan looked at marron, then out the window. 'Do you think he can do it?'

'Kakarotto, do you think he can do it?'

'Do what?'

'Win my heart.'

'Goku can do anything.'
