Gohan came to his senses and growled at Piccolo. "You've been hiding her these last few years!? Are you with her?" he demanded.

"Don't be a dumbass, Gohan. I felt the fight between you and Trunks years ago and sought her out. I was going to force her back to you, but after we talked I agreed she needed time to heal. She's strong... for a human. I even helped her... on the condition she come back."

Gohan gave him a blank look.

"You have your father's grasp on reality." Piccolo whapped him upside the back of his head.

"Hey!" he complained.

"She wants you back, stupid, and she's waiting for your answer."

Gohan looked up to see Mikayla looking at him expectantly. The crowd was still cheering. He looked into those beautiful amethyst eyes and smiled.

Piccolo growled out next to him, "are you happy now?"

Gohan nodded, still not taking his eyes off his love.

Mikayla let out the breath she had been holding in and smiled. She looked around and noticed Trunks. He didn't look too happy. She smiled to him and looked around waiting for the crowd to quiet.

"This next song," she began," is dedicated from Bulma to Vegeta. For Black and Blue, their love divine."

Piccolo chuckled and said, "surprise!" Bulma and Vegeta threw him a curious glance. The music started up.

Know all about, about yer reputation
And now it's bound to be a heart break situation
But I can't help if it I'm helpless everytime that I'm where you are

You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Call me 'woman' and I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know I should go, But I need your touch just too damn much

Lovin' you
Isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't want to spend my time with you
I should try to be strong, but baby you're the right kind of wrong

Might be a mistake, a mistake I'm makin'
But what your given I am happy to be takin'
They say you're something, I should do without
They don't know what goes on when the lights go out
There's no way to explain, all the pleasure is worth all the pain

I should try to run, but I just can't seem too
Cuz everytime I run you're the one I run to
Can't do without, whatcha do to me
I don't care if I'm in too deep

Lovin' you
Isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't want to spend my time with you
I should try to be strong, But baby you're the right kind of wrong
Baby you're the right kind of wrong

Bulma started blushing furiously and Vegeta smirked. Mikayla flashed a smile to Trunks and Gohan as her song ended. Once again the crowd exploded into applause. Without waiting for it to simmer down, she continued. "Now it's time for Vegeta's dedication to his beautiful wife, Bulma."

"Huh?" Vegeta eyed her suspiciously, and Piccolo sent him a knowing grin. Bulma swooned. "Oh, Ve-ge-ta!"

I don't like to be alone at night
And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
And I don't like to have the rain on my shoes
But I do love you

I don't like to see a sky painted gray
I don't like when nothings going my way
And I don't like to be the one with the blues
But I do love you, but I do love you

Love everything about the way you're loving me
The way you lay your head upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love everything you do
Oh I do

And I don't like to turn the radio on
Just to find I missed my favorite song
And I don't like to be the last in the news
But I do love you, but I do love you
But I do love you

"Happy anniversary, you guys. Now a special piece from Son Goku to Son Chi-Chi. And Black and Black, a night to dine."

How do I,
Get through the night without you?
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be?

Oh, I
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You're my world, my heart, my soul,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything good in my life,
And tell me now

How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Without you,
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.

And I,
Baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,
And tell me now,

How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Please tell me baby,
How do I go on?
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
I need you with me,
Baby don't you know that you're everything,
Real in my life?

When her song ended she approached the center tables, turned her mic off, and stood in front of Trunks.

"Trunks, I want to thank you for all you've done for me. And I know I left abruptly, and I don't know if you've found someone special while I've been gone, but I realized, I need Gohan. I love Gohan. I want Gohan. You made me feel very special and I hope you don't hate me now. However, if you don't have someone and Gohan kicks the bucket..."

A disgruntled, "hey!" could be heard from the other end of the tables. Trunks chuckled. "I don't hate you. But I am gonna hold you to that. Just be sure he lives a long life. The moment he's gone, you're mine."

Now they heard growling. Mik flashed another smile to Trunks and stepped back.

"This next song is dedicated to Son Gohan and his daughter, Pan."

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face

If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

If I could, then I would
I will go where ever you will go
Way up high or down low
I will go where ever you will

And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days

If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there's someone out there
That can bring me back to you

If I could, then I would
I will go where ever you will go
Way up high or down low
I will go where ever you will

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could, then I would
I will go where ever you will go
Way up high or down low
I will go where ever you will

If I could turn back time
I will go where ever you will go
If I could make you mine
I will go where ever you will
I will go where ever you will

"Now, a song for me. It's called '29.'"

Time won't stand by forever, If I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never, else I'll seem the fool

29 you'd think I'd know better, living like a kid
When my lies may seem less than clever, is when I fall for it

Only time will tell, if wishing wells bring us anything
Daylight seems, childhood dreams, forgotten memories

Some rides don't have much of a finish, that's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifference without a second look

There's no intentions worthy of mention, if I never try
So hang your hopes on rusted out hinges, take them for a ride.

Gohan had been watching her performance in silence. He stared at her dreamily, listening to the sweetness of her voice. He never knew she could sing. And he couldn't believe that she was finally his!

The night continued on. When Mikayla was done with her performance behind the mic, she joined Gohan and Pan at the table. She hugged them and cuddled into Gohan during the fifteen minute break she had. When it was over she got up and went to the middle of the dance floor. The band was getting ready and the lead guitarist brought her down another microphone. As the audience settled down, she ducked behind a curtained room to the stage's left. A minute later she reappeared wearing a tight, red tank top. Another man followed her wearing baggy black pants and a red tank top like Mik's. They stood in the center of the dance floor.

"Laaaaaaadddiiiiieeeessss and Gentlemen! We are now gonna start the martial arts portion of our program. This gentleman beside me is Jason Rogers. The fight is a real, un-rehearsed fight. PLEASE do not attempt to join in and 'help.' We are professionals, and as always, DON'T try this at home. The music performed will be the music they used in the movie, 'Mortal Kombat.'"

She ran up to the stage and gave the mic back to the guitar man and hurried back to her place. Jason and Mik took their places apart from each other and stood in a fighting stance. The music started and they attacked.

The fight was good, for amateurs. The music was fast-paced and energetic. Both fighters were definitely gonna be bruised the next day. The fight went on for ten minutes, until the music died out. It was clear that Mikayla was the victor. She took her place next to Gohan and Pan, with her mic, and announced the matches there-after, opting out of participating again.

And so the night continued on.... Until it was time to close. She was dancing with Gohan as the last song died out. "Are you ready for the rest of the tour?" she asked him.

"The rest...?"

"Piccolo didn't take you to the third floor, did he?"

"No... he didn't..."

She smiled at him. "The third floor holds our office, the training area, Piccolo's living quarters... My living quarters..."

"Oh, well then that's something I DEFINITELY want to see."

They left the dance floor and joined the others at the table.

"C'mon everyone... one more floor to see before the night is over."

She led the group back stage and to the elevator. They got off on the third floor and faced a hallway. Mikayla led them down and they soon found a door on their left. She went in and the others followed.

Piccolo explained from there. "This is our office. That is the network computer I was telling you about. That's my desk, really just for show, but every once in a while I do use it. That's Mik's desk."

He led them through the other door. To the left, the other elevator, and to the right, another hallway. They moved down the hallway. Mikayla spoke as they went.

"This room to the left is my living quarters. We'll finish up in there for a drink. Through the first hallway, there," she pointed at her right, "opposite from the office is Piccolo's apartment. And here," she walked straight into an open area, "is our training area."

The floor was lined with mats and gym equipment was scattered throughout the massive room. She pointed to another room in the corner, "that's our locker rooms."

She led them back to her door and punched a five digit code into a keypad. When she entered, she held the door open for everyone. On the couch sat Goten, Trunks, and Pan. Vegeta and Goku sat on the loveseat and pulled their wives into their laps. Gohan occupied one of the two recliners and Piccolo took the other one.

"I'll be right back, I have something special for everyone." Mikayla disappeared into the kitchen. She re-entered the living room with three champagne glasses in each hand. She handed them out. Back to the kitchen and again she emerged, this time with one final glass for herself and a bottle of champagne. She filled the glasses and set the empty bottle on her coffee table.

"Hey, baby," Gohan grinned, "let me see your glass for a minute."

"Uh, okay." She walked over to him and he took her glass. Then he kicked her into his lap, gently, and gave her back her glass. He used his now free hand to pull her up to him more comfortably.

"Damn! I should've thought of that," Trunks said, earning a glare from Gohan and a giggle from Mikayla.

"I want to thank you all for coming tonight. You really made it special. When I left three years ago, I knew I couldn't be with someone. I had so much pain, and I didn't know who I was. My childhood was so carefree. Then Hygram claimed me. Then I was a 'boy.' Then when I started to relax, I nearly lost myself again. I knew I had to be strong if I didn't want to have it happen again. And I had to come to terms with two facts. The first, that I was a woman.

"But I learned I didn't have to be weak because of it. I didn't use it as a crutch. I learned to use it as an asset. My body is smaller and more agile. I can be quicker than my opponents with a heavier body mass. And I obviously don't have that sensitive spot all men have." She wiggled in Gohan's lap and he blushed.

"The second thing I had to come to terms with was that I will not be able to bear children. Hygram destroyed a part of my body that can't ever be replaced."
