the story.

"What is with you people and my real father?!?"
"Well, honey, it's true," my mother said.
"I was right."
"Shut up Vegeta! I'm not in the mood!"
"Just admit it and I'll shut up."
"Vegeta, if you don't shut up and let me tell the story I will personally make you wish you had never been born!" Everyone looked at my mom, then at Vegeta, then back at my mom wondering what the heck was with them. Vegeta glared at her, but said nothing. "Good. Now, Joy, about your father." She hesitated now, not sure where to start. "I guess it starts with dinner." Joy was really confused now.

Raditz walked down the street looking for somewhere to eat. A little hamburger place got his eye and he started walking towards it, curious. He walked in and sat down without waiting to be seated. When the owner came to yell at him, Raditz gave him an evil glare and the owner turned around and walked away as quickly as he dared. "You take him," hissed the owner to the new girl, Luna. He didn't like her and was waiting for an excuse to fire her. The 22-year-old redhead glared at his back and walked nervously to the young man at the table.
"Hello, my name's Luna and I will be your server this evening. Can I start you off with a drink?" She was too nervous to pay attention to the tingling sensation that passed through her fingers.
"I want pure water.now."
She jumped a little. "Of course sir, I'll be right back." With that she walked quickly away to get his water. She came back in what she was sure was a new record for fastest waiter/waitress. "Here you are sir," she said nervously.
He was about to complain that it had taken her too long, but a mumbled thanks came out instead. She seemed to relax a bit at this. "Can I get you something to eat?"
"How many cheeseburgers can you make within the next 5 minutes?"
"Umm." that was a weird answer. "How many do you want?"
Raditz looked at her. "How much would 10 cost?" He wanted to just blow the place up when he was done, but that would be too noticeable, at least that's what he told himself.
"Umm, about 30 dollars." Raditz thought about that. He only had 30 earth dollars for food.
"I'll have that." She took his menu and walked away. Raditz looked around, resisting the temptation to kill all of the earthlings. Five minutes later he saw Luna walking toward him with tray of ten cheeseburgers. She handled the tray very well and one would hardly have guessed that she was new.that is, until she showed how clumsy she was and tripped, spilling the cheeseburgers all over Raditz.
"What did you do?!?" yelled the owner.
"I'm, I'm so sorry sir, it, it was an accident."
"Accident or not you're fired! Now get out of my face!"
"You can't do that to her, it was an accident!" Raditz yelled now on his feet.
"And why not? I am her boss!"
"It's okay sir," Luna said to Raditz, not wanting a fight to start.
"No it's not!"
"Yes it is. I don't want to work for this jerk anyway. He's mean, cruel, inconsiderate and too full of himself to care about anyone else." She now turned to the people staring at them. "Guess what, he's using soy burgers to save money, in all of the burgers!" The people started murmuring angrily and slowly got up to leave with out paying.
"How dare you," the owner whispered dangerously. "You just put me out of business." Then he lunged toward Luna, but Raditz was faster. He grabbed the manager and twisted his arm back, getting as close to breaking it as possible.
"Don't touch her. Now leave!" With that Raditz threw the man out of the restaurant, literally. "Are you okay?" he asked turning to Luna.
"Yeah, fine," Luna said a little shocked at the night's events.
"Good." With that he turned to leave.
"Wait." Raditz turned around. "Do you have a place to stay?"
"Well.sort of." He was planning on staying in his space ship. "Why?"
"Because I owe you. Who knows what he was going to do to me. So.would you like to stay at my place. I can feed you." Raditz thought about it then nodded. "Great!" Luna was incredibly curious about this man. Good thing Xavier was out of town.
* * *
"What is that?" Raditz asked Luna. She had just come out of the bathroom after changing into her tank top and pajama bottoms.
"What is what?" She quickly hid the bruise that he had been looking at, but it was no use, there were too many bruises.
"That," he said getting up and pointing at another bruise, "and that and that and..."
"It.it must just be from me falling." He didn't buy it.
"Who did this to you?"
"No one."
"Luna, please don't lie to me. Please tell who did this so I can kill him or her."
"No one, can't you mind your own business?" she snapped.
"Sorry." He seemed hurt. Her heart melted.
"I'm sorry."
"Hey," he said, gently lifting her head. "Don't be. My dad abused my mom, so I can understand not wanting to tell."
"Thanks," Luna said, wiping tears away from her eyes. Then, without really realizing what she was doing, she kissed him. "Sorry," she said pulling away. Then he did something she didn't expect, he kissed her with more love than Xavier had ever shown.
* * *
"The next morning he was gone with only a note saying he was sorry and he couldn't tell me why he had to leave. But I knew. I could sense a Saiyan a mile away, I had just been too emotional that night to pick up on it. The next month I married Xavier to hide the fact that I had had sex before I was married. So," My mom turned to me, "that's the story of your father and I."
"Wow," was all I could get out. Then I felt anger start to come up inside of me. "Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"Sweetie, I wanted to wait until the right moment."
"All my life I thought that I had that jerk's genes and it tortured me to know that I could turn out like him and you were waiting for the right time!" I turned swiftly around and left the room.
* * *
I felt hands come around my eyes. "Guess who," said a familiar voice.
"What?" I wasn't in the mood for games.
"You have to guess.''
"Gohan, I am not in the mood for games."
Gohan sat down beside me after taking his hands off my eyes. "Hey, don't be mad."
"And why not?" I snapped.
"'Cuz, can you imagine having to admit to your child that you had cheated on your husband and the person that they had always believed to be their father was actually just a cover-up. What if he'd been listening? What if you accidentally let it slip? What if you got mad? What if you made her mistake? She was scared." Gohan seemed to be holding his breath, hoping that he got through.
"Gohan?"
"Yes favorite cousin of mine?"
"Why the heck do you have to be so smart?" And with that I tackled him.
"Hey not fair!"
"And why not?"
"'Cuz you haven't apologized to your mom yet." I got stopped fighting him.
"Fine, I'll go apologize.cousin."
"Good." And with that we walked arm in arm back into her room. _________________________________________________________
