"Selena, hello."
"My dear, Bulma. How are you"
"I'm doing just fine. It's good of you to come."
"Yes. It's good to get out of the palace once and a while."
"I see. And you even brought Gohan with you this time."
"Yes, I did."
A young boy, no older than five, stood next to Selena, holding onto her skirt. He had on a white kimono with a light blue dragon on it. The boy had black hair and deep onyx eyes. He looked up at Bulma with the most innocent look on his face. Selena hadn't changed in the least. She still held that ethereal look to her.
"Come on in."
"Thank you."
The three walking into the large house and walked into the kitchen. Selena sat down, but Gohan didn't. He didn't really want to be here with the ladies. It got too boring, and Bulma could tell that he didn't want to be here while they talked.
"Gohan, if you want, Vegeta's out back training. You can go bother him if you want."
"Okay"
Gohan plastered a mischievous smile on his face as he skipped out the back door to go terrorize the poor unsuspecting Saiyan prince.
"So what really brings you here, Selena"
Bulma walked over to the counter and poured two cups of coffee. She walked back over to the kitchen table and set the mugs down as she took her seat across from Selena.
"Thank you. It's been a few years, hasn't it, Bulma?"
"Yea, and not a day goes by that I can't help but remember that day. Every time I close my eyes, I can still see her face."
"And it doesn't seem to help much that Gohan looks like both of his parents."
"I know what you mean. Goku, wonder where he is."
"Who knows? But something inside me knows that he's still alive."
"Same here."
Selena and Bulma were interrupted from their conversation by the sound of the doorbell. Bulma got up and walked to the front door. Bulma's eyes nearly fell out of her head when she opened the door. She felt like she was going to faint.
"Hello, Bulma. Long time, no see."
"Goku! You're back! You're alive"
"Haha. Of course I'm alive. I'm not that easy to kill."
"Yea...but...you know what I mean."
"Of course. I'm nothing if I ain't a kidder."
"I'm sorry. It's been so long, come on in. Selena's here."
"Oh yea? It's just turning out to be a reunion now."
"I know. Vegeta's here, too, you know."
"I'm not surprised."
"What's that supposed to mean"
"Nothing, just, thinking out loud."
When they reached the kitchen, Selena turned around and gasped. She quickly got up and gave Goku a motherly hug.
"It's good to see you again, too, Selena" said Goku when they broke the hug.
"Where have you been?"
"Around. Seen a lot of interesting places."
"You had us all worried. We thought that you were dead."
"Well, I'm not. So, you don't need to worry about me."
"You were my daughter's boyfriend...I have to worry about you."
Goku's face fell at the mention of her. He wanted to forget her, but he couldn't. Whenever he tried, a sudden pain would attack his heart. Selena looked over at Goku and saw the saddened look on his face. She let a small, tender smile grace her delicate face.
"Goku? What if I told you that there is a way to bring her back?"
"What?"
"There is a way. We just have to find where she is, that's all."
"Trust me, I'll help in anyway."
"Me too. She is my best friend after all," said Bulma.
"Thank you both."
"WOMAN!"
Everyone turned his or her attention to the back door. The door violently swung open as an angry Saiyan prince stormed into the kitchen. A vein could clearly be seen, throbbing on his forehead. In his hand, he held up Gohan by the collar of his kimono.
"This is NOT a child! This is the spawn of SATAN!"
"Well, technically, Vegeta, he is."
"Just keep him away from me, woman."
"My name is Bulma! Get it right! And put Gohan down!"
Vegeta dropped Gohan on the floor, causing him to land on his butt rather painfully. Gohan got up and brushed the dirt off his butt before going up to Selena and sitting on her lap.
"You haven't changed at all, have you, Vegeta?"
"K-Kakarot? I'll be damned. It's good to see you again."
"Same here."
Vegeta let down his pride that one last time. He walked over to Goku and gave him a brotherly hug. Bulma laughed at the two. She had never seen Vegeta that happy before.
"What have you been up to, Kakarot"
"Nothing much. Just wandering around. You look good."
"Thanks. You too."
Selena smiled at the two boys. You'd think that the two of them were brothers or something. Selena looked down when she felt a small hand touching her arm, trying to get her attention. Gohan stared back up at her with his innocent onyx eyes.
"Grandma, who's that man?"
"Hey, Goku?"
"Yea?"
"Could you come here, please?"
"What is it?" Goku asked as he stood in front of Selena.
"Goku, I would like you to meet Gohan, your son."
"My...son?"
