Hey all! now, before you kill me, just give me a chance to attempt to make up an excuse for taking so long with this chapter! Okay, now,most of you know that i am the epitome of laziness, (but wait, there's more!) but i have actually been pretty busy with end of term school work, holidays etc

Anyway, chapter 4 is now up and thats all that matters in my eyes! Hope you all enjoy this chapter!

DISCLAIMER: Maybe i had a dream about it once, but in this harsh reality, i own nothing but Setorene, so i see no reason 2 sue!

All replies to reviews are at the end of the chapter (down the bottom of the page for those of you playing at home!)

NOTE: In this chapter, people start going mad and talking to themselves! no, not really, but anything in italics means that person is thinking, not talking.


INSIDE CAPSULE CORP


All of the guests were gathered inside and milling around, chatting with plates of food in their hands since Bulma had decided to make it more of a 'serve yourself' dinner as it would be much more sociable. They both went their separate ways after agreeing to meet afterwards.

Setorene made her way over towards one of the food tables and Vegeta to another before heading over to a secluded corner of the room.

"Hey, Seto!" Setorene could hear a lively voice calling her from behind. 'Only one person could ever sound that cheerful day to day.' She thought to herself.

"Kakkarott. It's been a while." She said, before turning and facing him.

"Hey, what have you been up to in the past year or so?" He inquired. "I hear you've been staying with Videl and Gohan?"

"Yes, I have. Pan as well. It's been great; they've been really good to me. How has your time been?" She answered.

"Pretty much the same as always. Goten has moved out and found an apartment in the city, so things have been pretty quiet apart from Uub coming to train every so often." He paused for a moment before continuing. "Hey, speaking of training, how's your training with Vegeta going?"

She hesitated slightly at this question, but answered the best she could.

"Don't you remember? Certain people didn't want me around quite so often. I'm not supposed to be here at all apart from on special get-togethers and such, like this one." Goku lowered his voice almost to a whisper, so that only she could hear.

"Setorene, you know that would never stop you or Vegeta. That stubborn streak is too strong to be suppressed. You have been training just as hard even after Bulma kicked you out."

She looked quite worried after Goku's statement. 'Oh no, does everyone know? What about Bulma! This is bad.' Seeing the look on her face, Goku could guess what she was thinking.

"Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows, I'm sure of it. No one else in this room would realize it, least of all Bulma." That brought up a great relief in Setorene.

"Thank you, Kakkarott. I think it would be best if it stayed that way also, with no one else knowing."

"You can count on me!" She then noticed that Chichi came up behind Goku. She looked at Setorene, studying her for a moment.

"Hello, Setorene. I trust you are well. How are you finding your stay with Gohan and Videl?"

'Hang on a second, isn't this Kakkarott's wife? The one with the frying pan? I guess I'd better be polite…'Setorene thought.

"Oh, quite well, thank you. Both of them are terrific at keeping the house under control and I can see that Gohan is as dedicated to his work as ever."

Chichi smiled, her opinion of Setorene obviously lifted.

"Well, I'm glad to hear it. Please, do stop by at our house sometime, we would love to have you over for dinner."

With that, she turned and began walking the other way, pausing for a moment to stop and say hello to Bulma before continuing on. Setorene's attention turned to Bulma who was chatting with Bulla.

They were obviously gossiping to each other. You could tell by their body language. 'Like mother, like daughter I guess…' Setorene thought to herself.

She soon realized that it was her that Bulma and Bulla were talking about. Every so often, when they thought that Setorene wasn't looking, they would glance in her direction and give her strange looks, even giggling at one point. Setorene let out a sigh.

"I'm never going to fit in here, am I?" She said to Goku.

"Don't worry about it, Seto! Sure you will. Some people just need some time to get used to the fact that you're one of us now. Even Bulma will come to her senses eventually. She just needs to realize that Vegeta's allowed to spend time with people other than her, Trunks and Bulla."

Setorene looked towards Goku.

"I'm still not sure about Bulma; she might never change, but oh well. That's her problem,I guess. Thanks, that does help."

"Anytime. I'll see you soon hopefully Like Chichi said, stop by sometime! 'Til then!"

He saluted and then turned, walking towards where Krillin and Yamcha were chatting.

Setorene kept pretty much out of everyone's way for the rest of the afternoon, apart from the odd person coming up to her to ask her about how she's been or comment on how long it's been since they'd seen her. However, she still got the feeling that most people were keeping away from her on purpose, avoiding her gaze and trying not to make contact with her. Even those who did come and say hello said it in such a way that it sounded, well, forced.

Hours passed and soon the crowd began to thin, beginning with the families with children, as the kids were getting restless and tired, so they were the first to go. Eventually, as she glanced over to the corner of the room in which Vegeta was previously standing, she noticed that he had moved. She looked around for a moment before spotting him close to the CC back door. He nodded towards the front door and then dissapeared out the back.

Setorene found Videl and Gohan and told them that she would go and 'visit Kakkarott' that night and so would most likely be out for the night and come back the next day.

She mentioned it quietly to Goku on her way out, and he agreed to cover for her without a fuss. Once outside, she searched for Vegeta's ki and found him sitting on the roof. She flew up to join him.

"Took you long enough." He stated.


"I had to think up something to tell Gohan and Videl. I don't want them making a fuss. I've managed to get Kakkarott to cover for me, so if anyone asks, I'm visiting them for the night."

"What! You told Kakkarott!" He practically choked.

"He figured it out for himself! You know him and how the whole 'innocent, naïve and gullible' thing is just a façade. He knows that Bulma's not gonna stop us, even if she doesn't know or think that."

"Fine. Let's go, just follow me."

And without another word, the two Saiyans took off into the sky at breakneck speed, heading towards the coast.
