"I don't know, Bulma. Don't you think she's better off with someone she somewhat knows?" Krillin asked.
"Krillin, I'm not having a woman stay with Trunks while he's trying to go to school," Bulma said firmly and Krillin sighed.
"But what about Master Roshi?"
"Eighteen can deal with him."
"We can give it a try but I don't think this is the best decision," Eighteen said.
"I'd have her stay with me, but I can't. Not with the way they act around each other," Bulma said.
"Let go of me," Loren said but Trunks held her tightly.
"Stop taking everything so personally and I will. No one's trying to get rid of you," he said.
"How can I believe that after I've been through so much?"
"You know full well I don't want you around. Trying to be compassionate instead of allowing me to die," Vegeta said and Bulma glared at him.
"Are you telling me that you don't like how your life is?!" she asked, her voice low and accusing. Vegeta's eyes grew wide momentarily as he took a few steps away from her.
"I wasn't saying that at all! I just resent what that creature did."
"Well without her you wouldn't be around right now. Do you realize that?"
"Without her I could have successfully completed my mission and I wouldn't have had to live with the sting of defeat."
"How do you know that? How do you know that you wouldn't have died when that planet exploaded?"
There was a silence as Vegeta reluctantly came to a decision.
"Fine. Let the boy take care of her. He wanted to bring that woman along. It's his problem."
"That's not what I meant, Vegeta."
"Look. That woman, if we're going to call it that, is his responsability. He wanted to bring her with him so he's going to have to deal with her. I don't want any part of it."
