Sorry it took me so long to update... I've been having some serious issues in life lately... Mom's car got ruined in a flood and the car dealership burned us on buying a new one (sold us a lemon) and we are stuck now... ::sighs::
Trunks pokes his head out from around the corner, "You really have!". The tied up Vegeta also nods, no longer looking panicked... just more... well, upset.
Please R&R!!!! Review responses at the bottom!

Disclaimer Shiitake:
I do not own DBZ or any of the characters in this fic and I do know they aren't real. Although, I'd love to own Funimation Industries so I could have unedited episodes of DBZ and show them to the general public of people it was meant for (people from 15 - 21 instead of five year olds).

Sometimes I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go
And never looking back
And never moving forward
So there'd never be a past

*The Present*
The phone at Kame house was ringing with Krillin and Roshi staring at it, both too petrified to move.
They knew something was wrong... They just knew it...
But Marron wasn't so lucky...
Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes she tottered down the stairs as any three year old would while dragging a warn out teddy bear behind her. Being as observant as someone her age is, she stared at her father and Roshi. Why weren't they answering the telephone? Her mommy said that it usually when somebody called it was important...
Being the big girl she was and all, she decided to answer it herself...
"Hello?"
She looked back at Krillin.
"Daddy, It's for you. Something about mommy..."

*An Hour Prior*
The truck tore into her because the driver had no time to stop. In the 2 seconds she had she had to think she made a futile attempt to brace herself.
She closed her eyes and hoped for the best...
Before she succumbed to the blackness the last thing she heard was an explosion and the wretched sound of steel gouging into pavement...
And those sounds one wouldn't be able to forget as long as they lived... And yet... She would not know she heard them...

*The Present*
18 awoke with wires attached to her in several places and slight burn marks on her arms and legs. She looked around this 'room' she was in and saw blue curtains, chairs, white walls, and heard strange beeps coming from all sides...
Only one thing came to her mind... What IS this place and what in the hell happened?
During her train of thought a woman in white walked in and poked at the bad of fluids attached to a pole and looked at the screen with waves on it. She had a clipboard and was writing things down on it. Probably heart rate and such.
She looked at her and spoke...
"Eighteen! I see you are finally awake! How are you feeling?"
She looked at the woman oddly blinking several times clutching the white blanket that was covering her with her fists.
What? Why the hell was she calling her 'eighteen'? Who is this 'eighteen' person? Surely it wasn't her! This was some kind of sick joke, wasn't it? Surely it isn't her!
"What?"
The nurse looked sincere and placed the clipboard at her side, "I'm sorry, You weren't paying attention were you? That's ok. How are you feeling 18?"
There that woman was, calling her 18 again... Her brother probably planned this. It WAS her and her brother's 18th birthday today after all! He did this!
"Is this some kind of sick joke?"
"E...Excuse me?"
She clenched her fists tighter. She was right! Her friend threw a party for them last night! She probably got drunk and passed out! He can stay sober! He placed her here!
"Is this some kind of sick joke!? You know my name isn't 18! Christopher planned this, didn't he?"
"Chris...topher? I don't know who that is, I'm sorry..."
"You're lying! My brother planned this, didn't he? He's probably hiding somewhere in here waiting to jump out and yell 'Happy Birthday Christine'! God! I just want to know what the HELL is going on here!"
She fumed.
"I'm NOT eighteen! My name is Christine! Why are you calling me that!?"
The nurse put her right hand to her mouth in shock... Did this woman... Was she? Could she have...
She decided to speak her mind to Eighteen, "I... I think I've seen this before."
'Christine' stared blankly at her once more, "What?"
"I... I think you've lost you're memory..."
"That IS NOT possible! I REMEMBER WHERE I WAS YESTERDAY AND WHAT I WAS DOING! How could I have lost my memory!?"
The woman fumbled for her clipboard and picked up the driver's license that was clipped in with her papers. She looked at it and then looked at the woman.
They were the same. Most definitely the same person...
She handed it the befuddled woman, "If you don't believe me, please look at this..."
'Christine' looked at the card and began to read it...
Name: Android 18 (Juuhachi-Gou)
Age: 18
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Expires: June 15, 778 A.D...
The card fell from her hands and onto the white floor tiles, the nurse still standing beside her...
'Christine' gasped as she raked her hands through her hair viciously unable to comprehend what she just saw... "T...The... Yesterday was... Yesterday was June 14th 758 A.D..."

*Meanwhile...*
A boy is standing beside the caution tape marking off the wreckage of a semi truck that was carrying gasoline. He happened to notice it while walking to the store.
After watching for a few minutes he turns around not wanting to be yelled at by his grandfather. A few steps forward he notices something and almost steps on it and crushes it...
A computer chip soaked with blood...
