Areiko: Yeah, I know you've read The Seiku Saga. I thought you'd recognize who Androids 22&23 are. Android 22 says he thinks you're a good writer and so do I. Just to let you know the androids in Blame will have slightly different powers than the one in the Seiku Saga, but they will be the same people. The reason Android 22 hasn't updated is that band has engulfed hi life. He is such a band dork or geek or whatever he calls himself. (We call the orchestra the dorkestra!) But he tells me he'll update soon, but I don't exactly believe him. I know what's going to happen in the end though! HA HA!

Blame

Chapter 12

After eating the wonderful dinner Tai made, Gohan abruptly stood up. "Tai, can I talk to you? Outside… Alone…"

"Sure." Tai replied suspiciously.

Uub and Pan got up to follow her, but Tai gave them a look that said not to follow. The siblings walked out of the mountain home and took off into the sky. Tai wondered what Gohan wanted to talk to her about. This was odd, even for her. Just then Vegeta flew in front of them.

"Okay, what's going on?" Tai asked eyeing the two.

"Well to be frank, we know you're lying about your future. We know Mom died while giving birth to you and you have fabricated some thought that me, Dad, and Goten blame you for it." Gohan explained.

"How exactly did you two find this out?" Tai inquired.

"You said yourself you weren't that good of an actress." Vegeta said.

"Still won't change a thing. Mom's dead, my family hates me. What more do you know?" Tai asked.

"We don't hate you. You have to be overreacting or something." Gohan said.

"It has been eighteen years. I haven't been overreacting." Tai said crossing her arms.

Gohan sighed and looked at Tai. There was no way he was going to convince her of anything. She was stubborn, like their mother. She had a point though. Even if they had somebody to see into the future, they hadn't lived there like Tai had. Maybe she was right.

"Listen kid. Kakarott wouldn't hate his own kid, no matter what the reason." Vegeta said.

"You're actually sticking up for my father? Wow… When they said the hole in the ozone layer may affect some stuff, I didn't think they meant like this." Tai murmured.

Gohan looked quizzically at his sister. Hole in the ozone layer? What was that all about? Tai then turned her back on Gohan and Vegeta and began to fly off.

"HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Gohan yelled.

"WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN HOME!" Tai screamed before she disappeared.

Gohan huffed and looked over at Vegeta who looked supremely annoyed.

"What's up with you?" Gohan asked.

"Nobody turns their back on the prince of the Saiyans." Vegeta growled.

"Let me deal with her. She's my sister." Gohan sighed.

In the future!

Meg sighed and leaned back on the sofa in the Son living room. She was thinking about what her life was like before she died. She was thinking about all the stuff that she never got to do. How could fate do this to her? She remembered when she and Tai were thirteen and 'borrowed' Goten's car and drove through the subdivision. They had gotten into so much trouble. She remembered when Tai told her she and Uub were a couple. She remembered when Caleb Willow gave her her first kiss. She remembered when Danny had invited Tai and her to that fatal party. She remembered what she was thinking when she went over that ledge. Funny the things you think about at night. She heard a shuffle and sat up. It was dark; she couldn't see a thing.

"Meg? Are you okay?" came a voice.

"Who's there?" Meg asked.

"Goten." He said.

"Oh. Hi. What are you doing up?" Meg asked.

"I just wanted to bring you some blankets." He answered stepping into her view.

"Thanks." Meg said taking them from him.

Goten smiled and sat down next to Meg. Meg blushed a little. She had always had a crush on him. Who could blame her? He was hot! She liked his smile and his hair.

"I hate myself." Goten said finally.

"You shouldn't. Tai and the others didn't ask to go back in time." Meg comforted.

"But it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for me." Goten said sadly.

"You two are more alike than you think." Meg smiled.

"What?" Goten asked.

"You and Tai. She said that before." Meg explained.

"Oh." Goten said.

"Everything's going to be fine. We'll find Tai, Pan, Bra, and Uub and we'll get back…and I'll go back." Meg said sadly.

"Maybe you don't." Goten said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Meg inquired.

"Well, we've found loophole before, maybe we can in this situation." Goten said putting his arm around Meg who was blushing crimson.

"Well that was different. A kai gave your father his life back. They won't do that for me or your mother." Meg said sadly.

"Shenron could, for you." Goten said.

"And how is that?" Meg inquired.

"A wreck is not a natural cause." Goten said.

Meg looked at him. He was close. Real close. What was going on? He was moving closer. He was going to kiss her! Meg shut her eyes as his lips brushed against her. Her heart began to pound. She had always dreamed of this but she never thought it would feel this good. Yelling broke the kiss.

"Who is the heck is that?" Meg asked disappointed.

"I think it's my parents." Goten said.

"Eavesdrop?" Meg asked.

"We could if we didn't want to." Goten sighed leaning back to hear the argument of their parents…

"YOU THINK I'VE CHANGED? OF COURSE I'VE CHANGED! TIME DOES THAT TO PEOPLE! Goku yelled.

"YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN!" ChiChi yell back.

Goku looked at her sadly and fell back on the bed. "Why did you come back?"

"To help you find our daughter." His wife answered.

"We could've found her without your help." Goku said.

"Really? It didn't look like that to me." ChiChi said crossing her arms.

"Do you know how much it hurts to see you? To know I can never hold you again? To know that we can never be us again?" Goku asked looking up accusingly at his wife.

"Actually I do. Do you remember when you were going to come back for one day?" ChiChi asked.

"But I came back…for good." Goku said.

"I didn't think you would." ChiChi replied.

"I could've come back though. You can't." Goku answered.

"That's not what I thought. Seven years earlier you said you were never coming back." ChiChi replied. "I want to come back, but I can't. You didn't want to come back to our family at all."

Goku looked at his wife pain reflecting in his eyes. She was right. He didn't want to come back, but the only reason he did that was to protect his family. He thought about when she died. He would have given anything just to have her back. Now, with her in front of him, he wished she were gone. It ripped his already broken heart into a million pieces to know she was here but she couldn't stay there with him. Gulping he sighed.

"I did that for you and Gohan. I know how you feel now…I love you more than anything…" he said.

"I know…" she replied."I know..."

Well, that's the end of Chapter 12. I know its not a lot about Tai and the gang, but I wanted add what's going on in the future with Goku and the others. The last part almost made me cry. I'm a hopeless romantic who cries easily. So tell me what you think. READ THIS: I DON'T WANT A 'THAT'S GOOD UPDATE SOON' REVIEW! I myself want to know what you the readers really think of this story. What's good and what's bad! What do you think will happen? What do you want to happen? If you do this it would really help me!
