The
Return of Memories
Chapter 4: Birth and Death
By: Animeluvers
^_^
Bra and Pan were sitting in the living room. Bra had her
arms around Pan and was comforting her. The two women held each other for a
couple of minutes until Pan broke the silence.
"I
want to go and see them." Pan looked up at Bra's big blue eyes. "I want to see
Starla."
Bra nodded and got up with her friend. The two Saiya-jins walked down the hall
and to the medical wing. They entered the room, and Pan was at Starla's side
immediately. Fresh tears fell out of her brown eyes.
"My girl! My baby. I hope you're okay." Pan placed her head down on Starla's
shoulder. When she felt Bra's hand on her shoulder, Pan jumped up and got in a
fighting stance. She glared at Bra hard. "This is all your fault, Bra!" Pan
screamed.
Bra returned the glare that Pan was giving her. She glared at Pan with her
silver eyes. "How is this my fault?"
Pan's eyes flickered from brown to sea green. "If …you hadn't have made love to
my damn, air-head uncle that night, Starla and Charisma would never be in this
situation!" A golden aura started to form around her body.
Bra saw that Pan was about to go super Saiya-jin, and she had to stop her. She
could hurt Charisma and Starla. "Pan … stop!"
"Why should I?! You deserve to burn for what you did!" Pan transformed and
gathered her energy around her.
Before Bra could speak, Pan flew at her with lightning speed and thrust her
elbow forward into Bra's face. Bra flew back into the wall, which cracked.
"PAN!" Bra screamed. She pulled herself out of the wall, but was knocked back
into it when Pan kicked her. Again, the wall started to crack.
"You can never be forgiven for what you have done. Bra, you must atone for your
sins!" Pan flew at Bra again.
Before Bra could think, she was hit in the chest by Pan's fist. Bra gasped for
air, but it was spit out when Pan punched her in the stomach. Bra spat up blood
on Pan's clothes, and she fell to her knees.
Pan jumped back and brought her hands above her head. "Bra, you will pay for
what you did to my DAUGHTER!" She increased her power and made a KI ball in her
hands.
"Pan …" Bra moaned as she got up to her feet. She leaned against the wall for
support. "According to your … ugh … KI signal that night, you and Trunks … were
a little preoccupied that night as well."
Pan's sea green eyes narrowed harder at the Saiya-jin Princess. How dare she
bring that up? "You bitch. How dare you say that to me?!" Pan let go of the
blast. She heard Bra scream. What was she doing?
Bra cried out as she tried to move her arm. She couldn't move. Bra powered up.
She couldn't let Pan get any further than she already had. Her soft, aqua hair
turned gold.
"Ma-sen-ko-HA!" Pan hollered out as she let another blast go towards Bra.
"Ka-me-ha-me-HA!" came the voice of two men.
Pan looked away when she saw both Trunks and Goten in front of Bra. Each had an
arm out over Bra, who's eyes were still silver.
"Pan?! What in Dende's name are you trying to do?" Trunks screamed. His eyes
flickered with anger. What the hell was her problem?
Goten looked at Pan with rage. His niece had lost her mind. He heard Bra groan
behind him. He turned around and knelt down beside her. Pan had really gotten
the best of Bra this time. He held Bra close as she coughed up some blood.
Goten wrapped his arms around the woman he loved.
Bra looked up at Goten and smiled. "Thank … you." She exhaled and passed out.
Goten looked at Bra. He sent a telepathic message to Trunks and picked Bra up.
He left the room and went upstairs to put her in bed.
Trunks glared at his wife, for what seemed like an eternity. Before he spoke,
Trunks vanished. He reappeared in front of Pan and hit her in the face.
Pan fell forward and met Trunks' fist again, only this time, it was in her stomach.
Before she passed out, she heard Trunks' masculine voice. "We all have to atone
for our sins that were committed that night, Pan. It wasn't just Bra and
Goten's fault. It was ours too." Then, she slipped into unconsciousness.
Trunks picked up his lovely wife and headed upstairs to their room. He gently
placed her on the bed and pulled the covers over her body. He placed a soft
kiss on her forehead and whispered in her ear. "Starla will be fine. She's a
strong girl … I mean woman now. I'm sure she can take care of herself." Trunks
brushed some of the hair out of her beautiful face. "I'll come back and check
on you later."
Trunks turned his back and left the room. All the while, a smile played on his
lips.
^_^
Goku sat in his bed, coughing, when Chichi came in. He
tried to stop coughing so that Chichi wouldn't worry, but that just made him
cough worse. Chichi immediately rushed to his side.
"Oh
dear, my poor Goku," Chichi said as she brushed some of his hair away from his
face. "What's wrong with you? I hope the test results come soon."
After many weeks of begging, Goku finally relented and went to the doctor. He
had some tests run and the doctor said it would be a few days before they came
back. It had already been five days, and they still hadn't called with the
results.
Chichi sat there, stroking her husband's face when she heard the phone ring.
She waited for a moment and then picked up the phone by her and Goku's bed.
"Moshi Moshi," Chichi answered.
The voice on the other end spoke in a solemn voice and got right to the point.
Chichi's head lowered as she dropped the phone onto the receiver. She turned to
Goku.
"What is it Chichi? Who was it?" Goku asked, wondering what had brought about
Chichi's downcast face.
^_^
Trunks walked down the hall to Goten and Bra's room, all
the while still smiling. He knocked softly on the door and waited … no answer.
He knocked a little louder and waited again … still no answer. Trunks opened
the door cautiously and caught sight of Bra.
"Goten?"
Trunks called out. "Where are you?" Trunks walked over to the bed and saw
Goten. He was knelt down beside Bra's bed. It seems that he was praying. Trunks
took a seat and waited.
A few moments later, Goten looked up. "When did you get here?" he asked Trunks.
Goten stood and stretched. "How long have you been here?"
Not long. I just came I a few seconds ago. What were you praying about?" Trunks
still sat in the chair, waiting for Goten to answer.
"It was nothing. I just said a little prayer for … peace in this house." Goten
walked over to Trunks. "So, what was it that you wanted?"
"Well …" Trunks began. "While Pan and Bra were fighting, I couldn't sense it,
but after Bra got knocked out and then Pan, I knew I sensed something." Trunks
stood up and opened the door. He beckoned for Goten to follow. "Come with me."
^_^
Charisma looked at Nagago with surprise. "I'm … I'm … do
huh?"
"You're what?!" Guapo yelled. He began to pace back and forth in front of his
father. He stopped for a moment. "You lie," he said to Nagago.
"Oh,
really? Do I?" Nagago said. "How dare you doubt me? The little whore is
pregnant with your child … my grandchild. I would lie about something that
sickens me? You know me better than that, Guapo," Nagago said.
"So, Charisma really is … pregnant? You're going to have a baby!" Guapo said
excitedly to Charisma. He ran over to her and hugged her.
Still in shock, Charisma let her arms go around Guapo's neck. "I … I can't
believe I'm going to … I'm going to have … I'm going to have a … a baby!"
Charisma stuttered.
^_^
Chichi looked up and spoke quietly. "Goku, that was the
doctor. They got the results back from your tests and … and …" Chichi broke
down and Goku sat up and put his arms around her.
"Oh,
Chichi, what did they say? Why are you crying? Shh … don't cry. Whatever it is,
we'll get through it together. Now, stop crying. It's going to be okay, Chichi.
Look at me." Goku held Chichi's head up and kissed away some of the tears.
"Tell me what the results are for the tests."
^_^
Goten followed Trunks to the medical wing and took a seat.
Trunks walked over to Charisma and put his hand on her stomach, gently stroking
it. He looked over at Goten and smiled.
"What
in all hell are you doing to my daughter, Trunks?" Goten asked. "Are you sure
that you still have all of your marbles, boy?" Goten looked at Trunks like he
was crazy.
"Don't you sense it, Goten? Can't you tell?" Trunks walked over to Goten and
pulled his arm. "Come over here and concentrate. I'm sure of it! It's very,
very faint, but I can tell."
Goten sighed and got up, walking over to the bed. He placed his hand on his
daughter's stomach. He concentrated as directed and after a few minutes, he
sensed something. Trunks was right. It was very faint, but Goten sensed that
Charisma was pregnant!
Goten's eyes widened and he twitched a little. Trunks smiled politely and
stepped away slowly. His hand shot behind his head and he hid behind Starla.
"Um … Goten, just calm down. It's okay. She's a big girl now. Calm down."
Trunks dodged a medical utensil and yelped. Goten was quite angry.
"How in the HELL is my daughter FUCKING PREGNANT?!" Goten yelled. Oh YEAH he
was mad!
"Well, maybe an alien made her pregnant …" Trunks joked, trying to lighten the
mood.
"That's not fucking funny!" Goten yelled, throwing a needle at Trunks.
^_^
"So, how is all of this supposed to work? Am I going to
have the baby here or on Earth? And how am I going to train while I'm
pregnant?" Charisma had so many questions, and Nagago was the one to answer
them all.
"You
aren't going to train anymore, Charisma. You are going to have the child and
then we'll go to Palabra and fight the war. After we win, you and Starla may
safely return to Earth, and you will never hear from us again." Nagago seemed
to enjoy the last part.
"Wait a minute. I'll never see … Guapo again? But, he's the father of my child.
He has to come see his child." Charisma was about to cry. She really did love
Guapo. Now, she may not get to ever see him again.
Guapo and Starla had remained silent. Starla especially, since she had just
gotten in the room. Guapo kept his eyes on Charisma, who seemed to be in
disbelief. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and Guapo couldn't just let her
sit there and cry … alone.
Charisma put her face in her hands and sobbed. Guapo rushed over to her and
held her in his arms. He glared at his father angrily for rubbing it in so
much. "What's wrong with you, Dad? She's really emotional right now. Can't you
have a little compassion for her? She's upset!" Guapo tried to fight his father
mentally, but it was a fight he wouldn't win.
^_^
Pan was tossing and turning in her bed. In her dream,
visions of Starla reaching out for her hand tortured her. Starla cried out for
Pan again and then disappeared into darkness. Pan shot up in her bed.
"Starla!
No!" Pan screamed. Sweat covered Pan's forehead, and all she could do was cry.
Her baby girl was gone … maybe forever.
^_^
Goten saw the needle hit Trunks' forearm. The liquid
inside the syringe was unidentifiable. Needless to say, they were worried.
Trunks' voice broke into Goten's trance. "Hey! What are we gonna do now? We
can't take it out! We might spill some of it. I could die!" Trunks whined.
"Just
calm down. I'll figure something out. For now …" Pan's scream interrupted
Goten. "Well, for now, go check on Pan and be careful!"
Trunks took of in lightning speed to his and Pan's room. He felt the needle hit
something and stopped. A light stinging sensation made him curse. The contents
of the syringe were now coursing through his bloodstream. He suddenly felt
faint.
^_^
Bra stood in her doorway looking at Trunks. "Oniichan?"
She rushed over when he fell. She pulled the needle out of his arm. "Wha …
what's this? Oniichan! Wake up! Oh, Dende. PAN! GOTEN! Something's happened to
Trunks! Help!" She caught sight of the puncture wound in Trunks' arm. Maybe it
would work. She had to try.
^_^
"Guapo, give it up. You're not going to convince me to …"
Nagago stopped. "What was that?" He turned around and ran out the door. The
others curiously followed.
Charisma
saw him first. "Ojisan?" She walked over to his body, which was lying in the
dirt.
"Otousan!" Starla exclaimed. She ran over to her father and knelt beside him.
She gently shook him. "Otousan, wake up!"
"Great." Nagago muttered. "Now the whole family is here." He kicked Trunks in
the side. "Get up if you're going to live."
Starla jumped up and kicked Nagago in the stomach. "How dare you kick my
father!"
Nagago fell down just as Trunks jumped up. "What's going on? Where am I?
Starla! You're awake! Thank Dende! Where's your mother?"
"Dad, you may need to come inside and sit down for this one." Starla led her
father into the house and pointed to the couch.
Charisma waved. "Welcome to …" Trunks wasn't paying attention to a word she was
saying. He was just staring at Nagago.
"Doctor Richardson, how do you explain this miraculous recovery, and where are
we?" Trunks looked at him curiously.
"Dad, I think you should explain … everything." Guapo looked at Trunks. "Just
sit back and listen, please."
^_^
"Bra, don't even try it. You don't know what it was.
Besides, he's still breathing. It wasn't lethal. He'll wake up soon." Goten
prevented Bra from trying to suck the fluid out. Besides, it was a little late
for that.
"We'll
just wait and pray that he's okay," Pan added. "Now, let's go to bed and rest.
Goten, could you put him somewhere?"
"Yeah, sure." Goten took Trunks to a guest room and laid him on the bed. "Be
strong, Trunks. Be strong."
^_^
9 months later –
Darkside…The Next Day - Earth
"HELP ME! DENDE! IT HURTS! AAAH!" Charisma was in labor.
It was December 31, 11:55 PM. "SOMEBODY! GIVE ME A DAMN SHOT OR SOMETHING!"
Guapo
stood by silently as his father delivered the child that would never know her
father. Trunks told them that it was a girl. Charisma looked so beautiful, even
if she was giving birth.
"Chrissy … it's okay. Just push! Only one more time!" Starla yelled.
"AAH!" Charisma pushed one last time and Nagago pulled the little girl up to
let her breath. Charisma caught sight of her. "My baby. She's beautiful. Let me
have her."
Starla cleaned her off, after cutting the umbilical cord, and gave her to
Charisma. "She's so beautiful, Chrissy. But … you're only fifteen … today."
Trunks spoke up. "I have to tell you. The little girl was born at the exact
time you two were, down to the exact second. So, what are you going to name
her?"
Charisma smiled. "Tenshi." She got into a more comfortable position and handed
Tenshi to Guapo.
"I'm so overcome. I don't know what to say." Guapo shed a tear and kissed his
daughter. "I think it's time you all went home and my father and I explained
everything to your parents."
^_^
Goten and Bra were sleeping peacefully when the phone
rang. Bra answered. It was Chichi. She had bad news. Goku was sick … very sick.
He had stomach cancer, and he only had a few weeks to live.
"Oh,
no. Chichi, I'm so sorry. I'll break the news to Goten and Pan … I love you
too. Goodbye." Bra hung up. She turned over to Goten, who was already awake.
"It's something very bad, isn't it?" Goten sighed. He put his head in his
hands. "How much longer does he have?"
"Stomach cancer … only a few weeks. Oh, Goten. I'm so sorry." Bra held him in
her arms for as long as he allowed it. Then, the explosion interrupted them,
and they went downstairs.
^_^
"That's just a little scary … transporting from dimension
to dimension. Well, while you're conscious it is." Trunks shivered. This whole
experience was creeping him out.
Pan,
Goten, and Bra came running downstairs. When they saw everybody, they rejoiced.
Bra and Goten ran over to Charisma, and Pan ran to greet Trunks and Starla.
Nagago and Guapo stood off to the side, Guapo holding Tenshi.
After everyone had time to greet one another, Charisma spoke up. "Okay, I know
that we've all missed one another, but we all need to sit down and talk. Mom,
Dad, we've been in another dimension. There, one day here is ten months. That's
why Star and I have matured so much. Today, I had a child. She's one-eighth
alien and Saiya-jin and three-fourths human. I hope you'll all accept her into
the family. She's my and Guapo's daughter."
Bra, Goten, and Pan's mouths dropped as they sat. "Which one is Guapo? Doctor
Richardson or that other one?" Bra asked, praying it was the younger one.
"His human name is Lawson," Nagago said. "He's my son. We're from another
planet called Palabra. It's exactly like this planet, except we have a king of
the entire planet. I'm a knight."
"Yes, he was sent to find a female Saiya-jin to fight. He's not evil … just on
a mission. Please, our planet is at war. We need the girls to help us defeat
our foe. Then, they will return safely. I give you my word." Guapo stood,
holding out Tenshi. "All we ask is that you watch the baby."
Bra and Pan exchanged worried glances. Pan spoke up. "I don't think that's such
a good idea. We've missed them terribly and …"
"Mom, we're going." Starla walked over and kissed her mother's cheek. "They
need us."
Bra took her grandchild in her arms and rocked her. "Just the other day, I was
singing you to sleep, Charisma. You go, and we'll watch after Tenshi. We love
you. Come back very soon."
Charisma and Starla said their goodbyes and then prepared to go. Nagago nodded
his thanks and cast the spell. The girls were once again gone.
^_^
Palabra was, as Nagago said, much like Earth. The girls followed
Nagago to the palace. When they entered, Nagago bowed and announced them to
King Bakayaro. They entered and bowed.
"Rise,
young warriors. I am grateful for your presence. We are dying. Please help us.
I beg you. I will give you anything if you help us!" The King seemed so
helpless.
"We'll help you. We'll give it all we've got, your majesty. We will help you
win," Charisma spoke up. She was always so positive.
"Thank you. Nagago will help you with everything else. Ah, Guapo, my daughter,
Princess Aki is waiting for you. Come with me." Before the King could get up,
Guapo spoke.
"Your Majesty, with deepest respect, I cannot marry your daughter. I'm sorry. I
do not love her, and I already have a child."
^_^
"They're gone again. Dende, please let them come home
safely," Bra prayed.
Pan and Trunks joined in a heated kiss. He picked her up and carried her
upstairs while Bra and Goten cared for Tenshi. When they got in their room, he
laid her on the bed and shut the door. They ripped each other's clothes off.
Pan
laid on the bed and Trunks climbed on top of her. "Dende! I've missed you,
Trunks!"
"You *kiss* have *kiss* no idea!" Trunks replied while kissing her chest. He
took one breast in his mouth and massaged the other. Pan leaned her head back
and moaned. When Trunks switched breasts, she ran her hands through his hair.
Pan was really enjoying herself. Trunks pulled his head up and thrust forward
with his lower body.
Pan screamed in pleasure when he penetrated her. He slowly moved in and out of
her body and then sped up. They each moaned with Pan's climax after climax. Pan
was so exhausted by the time Trunks climaxed that she was crying.
Trunks collapsed on top of her and glanced up. "Why are you crying, Pan? Are
you hurt? I'm so sorry!" Trunks searched for an injury.
"No! Dende! I'm crying because … it's never been like that! Dende! That was so
… great!" Pan laughed as she wiped away some tears.
"Well, don't scare me like that! I thought I hurt you!" Trunks kissed her
lightly on the forehead.
"Actually, I could go for another round," Pan said seductively as she pulled
the blankets over them.
"Your wish is my command," Trunks replied as he kissed her neck and began a
trail down her body to satisfy her once again.
^_^
"Ka-me-ha-me-HA!" The beam soared from Charisma's hand,
killing hundreds of soldiers. She was exhausted and bloody from battle. Starla
was off somewhere else, and Nagago had gone on ahead. She ran forward to catch
up. "Nagago! Where are you?!" Charisma yelled. Far off, she saw a beam kill
more soldiers. "Star … be careful," she silently warned.
"Here!
Come on! There are still a lot of them!" Nagago took Charisma's hand and pulled
her forward.
"Nagago…the knight from Palabra. Leading a young lady to safety? How noble." A
man's voice came from behind them. He was bloody and looked like Nagago's
counterpart. He held a sword in his right hand. "Too bad she won't make it …
and neither will you."
"Dasai! You are mistaken! It is you who will die!" Nagago drew his sword and
pushed Charisma out of the way. "This is my arch enemy, Dasai. He's too
arrogant for his own good." Nagago dodged an attack as he spoke to Charisma.
"HA!" Dasai swung his sword. It sliced Nagago's stomach. He then thrust it deep
into Nagago's stomach, killing him.
"NO! Nagago!" Charisma suddenly felt compassion for this man. She turned on
Dasai and her eyes glowed. She prepared to avenge her trainer's death. "Ka … me
… ha … me …… HA!" The white and blue beam shot straight through Dasai's heart.
He didn't have a chance.
^_^
When Pan and Trunks …(ahem) finished, they came back
downstairs. Bra told them to be seated. She cleared her throat. "Chichi called
today," she said. Pan looked at her suspiciously.
"So,
does that mean Grandpa is doing better?" Pan asked.
"I'm afraid not, meichan. He only has a few weeks … left to live." Goten was
breaking up. "It's stomach cancer, meichan."
Pan gasped and put her head in her hands. Trunks comforted her while Bra
comforted Goten. Tenshi just sat in her crib, gooing at the ceiling.
"What are we going to do without the girls? They were our support! What now?"
Pan ran upstairs and slammed the door. Trunks and Bra exchanged glances.
"I think I have an idea," Bra said. "It'll probably work if we can do it."
^_^
Starla and Charisma defeated the enemy's army of 5,000
with King Bakayaro's army of 2,000. They suffered many casualties, but Charisma
vividly remembered Nagago's last words to her: "Forgive me." Charisma spoke the
words aloud.
"For
what, Chrissy?" Starla asked. "What in the name of Dende are you talking
about?"
"Those were Nagago's last words. He asked me to forgive him." Charisma cried
then. She cried for Nagago, and she cried because she missed her parents.
Guapo came up to them in the courtyard. "The King would like a word with you
and my … father. Where is he anyway?" He looked around.
Charisma cleared her throat. "Guapo, your father is … he … he died fighting
Dasai. But, Dasai is dead, too." She ran over to him when he fell to his knees.
"He died a valiant death. He was a good man."
"Thank you. Now, we have to go see the King. It's just too bad I never learned
how to bring someone back from the dead." Guapo smiled at Charisma and then led
the two girls into the palace.
^_^
Pan and Bra were sitting in the living room talking when
Goten and Trunks came in with their drinks. They got quiet, and Goten got
suspicious.
"What's
going on girls? Come on, tell us guys what you're plotting." He smiled kindly
at them.
"Are you sure this is going to work, Bra? It's a lot of work. Don't think it
isn't for a second." Pan crossed her arms. "I don't know if it's possible."
"It's been done before. What makes you think it can't be done by us? We're
strong, and we WON'T give up. That's why we can do it," Bra said. She smiled at
Pan. "And that's that, Panny-chan."
"Um … hello? We're still confused. What are you two talking about? Could you
let us in on the little secret?" Trunks asked in a smart-ass voice. "That'd be
nice."
Bra turned on him. "Oniichan, we are planning on …" Bra couldn't finish.
"She's being crazy!" Pan exclaimed. "She suggested that we go after the
Dragonballs! Isn't that crazy?!" Pan jumped up. "And she wants me to go with
her!"
"That's not so crazy, Pan," Goten said. "I think it's a good idea, actually."
Trunks nodded his agreement. Pan just sighed and sat back down. "And we'll
watch Tenshi while you're gone," Trunks added.
"Well, in that case, we'd better not go. You two can't take care of a child!"
Pan laughed. "No offense."
^_^
"The planet of Palabra extends its greatest and deepest
gratitude to you two female super Saiya-jins from Earth. If you'd like, I will explain
why we wanted a female." King Bakayaro smiled at the two. "We wanted a female
because females are more intelligent than males," the King whispered.
"You
got that right!" Starla exclaimed. "Your majesty, if you please, it's a lovely
planet, but …"
"We would like to be going home. You see, I have to take care of my and Guapo's
child …" Charisma drifted off. "Oops."
"No. It's okay," the King said. "He's going with you. I hope I didn't ruin the
surprise. Well, off you go. Here's the potion, since your father is … gone.
Come back anytime, girls!" The King waved them away as Guapo said the words to
the spell. Unfortunately, it would take about an Earth day to get home without
Nagago.
^_^
The phone rang right as Bra and Pan were leaving. They
came back inside, but Goten answered it. He hung up after a few seconds. He
turned to them. "Dad's worse. Please, hurry. But Bra! Before you leave, I have
to tell you something."
"Yes?"
Bra felt him take her hand.
Goten knelt down on one knee and looked up at Bra. "I know that I already
hinted that we're going to marry, but I want to make it official. Bra, I made a
mistake when I left. Forgive me. I have realized that I love you beyond belief.
Will you marry me?" He pulled a small box out of his pocket and opened it,
revealing a diamond-encrusted ring.
"Oh Goten! You know I will!" Bra pulled him up and kissed him as he slipped the
ring on her finger, "I just wish that we had more time. Pan and I have to go. I
love you." Bra took hold of Pan's hand and walked out.
^_^
They landed in the kitchen. It was about three in the
morning. Charisma counted down. When she reached one, Goten and Trunks came
bursting in, "We're back!" Charisma said.
"And
you brought…Guapo, was it?" Goten said. Guapo nodded. "Good. Well, let's all
get some rest. We'll talk in the morning," Goten and Trunks walked back
upstairs, Goten turned to look at Guapo like an angry father would, "Come with
me, Guapo. I'll show you to the guestroom. Goodnight, girls," Guapo walked with
Goten and Trunks. The girls went to their shared room downstairs.
^_^
The Next Morning (Earth)
^_^
"Wake up, Chrissy! Let's go! I'm hungry!" Starla shook
her, and Charisma got up.
"I'm up!" Charisma walked out and smiled. She smelled her uncle's pancakes.
That was the one thing he could cook. The girls walked to the kitchen. Trunks
put them each a plate on the table…next to Guapo. Charisma ate silently while
everyone else chatted.
Goten
cleared his throat, "Is everyone done?" They all nodded, "Let's go to the
living room and talk. There are a few things we need to discuss."
Everyone got up and went to the living room with Goten. When they were all
seated, Trunks decided to begin, "Guapo and Charisma…we'll talk about you two
some other time. Right now, we need to discuss Goku."
"Is something wrong?" Charisma asked, "Is he okay?"
"He has stomach cancer. The doctors predicted that he would live for a few more
weeks, but it seemed it's gotten more serious…worse you could say," Goten said.
He was hiding a lot of pain.
"Oh no!" Starla exclaimed, "What…what can we do? I know! Guapo can heal him,
right?"
Guapo sight, "I'm sorry. I have no power to against terminal illnesses. Sorry."
"Well, what do mom and Pan think about all of this? Where are they anyway?"
Charisma asked.
"That brings us to our next few things. Before Bra left, I
proposed…officially," Goten said.
"That's great! But, where are they going?" Starla asked.
"Well," Trunks began, "Pan and Bra left…to go get the Dragonballs."
