Chapter 8: A Daughter's Angst
Needless to say, everyone was speechless after the truth was revealed. Nobody knew what to do; should they go after Marron or Cali? Or just leave them alone? Apparently they chose the later…
"Oh Dende…we've run into a problem…a BIG problem…" Bulma said sighing. Goku and Vegeta stopped their idiotic chase, and joined the baffled gang. "Um…hey guys! What happened?" Goku asked. "Where to start…" Goten thought. All of a sudden, he got an idea. "Hey dad…you know how we need to find the Dragonballs…" he stated mischievously. Goku raised an eyebrow. "…Yes, why do you ask?" he said picking up some suspicion to Goten's tone. "Well we've just decided that you should be the one to get them!" Goten said with a huge grin. Goku's mouth dropped. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?!? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO GET THOSE THINGS!?!?" he shouted. Chi-Chi glared at her husband. "HONESTLY GOKU! YOU CAN BE SO SELFISH SOMETIMES! YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE DRAGONBALLS OR ELSE I'LL MAKE SURE YOU WON'T EAT AGAIN FOR ALL ETERNITY!" she screamed. Goku folded his arms and pouted. "No fair…" he mumbled.
He sighed. "Alright then." Goku turned to Bulma. "Hey Bulma, where's the dragon radar?" he questioned. Bulma had a sweatdrop on her head. "Uh…it's kind of broken right now and we can't fix it for about 3 weeks, but I'm sure you'll find them by then!" she said encouragingly. Goku groaned and turned to Chi-Chi with the "Do I really have to?" look on his face. Chi-Chi nodded and pointed her finger in the air, signaling that he should get moving. Goku mumbled under his breath and began his journey looking for the Dragonballs.
Vegeta turned to Bulma. "Alright woman, now would you care to explain what happened?" he said harshly. Bulma let out a small growl and reluctantly told him the story. Vegeta afterwards clenched his fist and snarled. "Where is he?!" Vegeta snapped. "He just went after Marron in that direction, why? What are you doing Vege…?" But Bulma didn't finish, Vegeta already took after Trunks. "I don't like the look of this." Uub stated. Pan started to take off slowly into the air. "Pan, what are you doing?" Bra asked. "I need to find Cali, and make sure she's alright…" Pan chided. Cali had always been a second daughter and no matter what, she'd make sure she would always be there for her. And with that, Pan took off.
Boxer was about to take off until Goten put his hand on Boxer's shoulder. "Dad…" Boxer said in a rather hard tone. Goten just shook his head no. "Cali should really be left alone, I don't even approve of Pan going, but you know Pan…" he commented. Boxer sighed. He really wanted to comfort Cali.
Cali was still lying on the ground motionless, and emotionless. She didn't know what to feel. She didn't know what to do. All she could do was to lay in agony.
"How could you mother?" She whispered. "HOW COULD YOU HAVE LIED TO ME ALL THESE YEARS!?" Cali screamed slamming her fists into the ground. Cali was now glowing with rage. She quickly turned back into her Super Saiyan form. Cali started kicking and blasting nearly everything in sight. And just almost blasting Pan into the next dimension.
"Whoa!" Pan exclaimed dodging the blast. "Careful where you're aiming Cal!" she said. "Go AWAY Pan-Sama!" Cali shouted harshly. Pan was half shocked. Cali had never raised her voice to Pan before, but then again, she never found out who her father was before either. Pan approached Cali. "Cali, I'm just here to help you…" she said calmly. "I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!" Cali yelled through her teeth. Pan just gave Cali a hug. "It's ok Cali…" she whispered. Cali's lip trembled and her tears rushed out. With a pitiful cry, she clung to Pan. Cali heaved in and out of Pan's shoulder. "It's…Not…FAIR!" she screamed, muffled by the shirt. "IT'S NOT FAIR!" Cali repeated. "WHY DID SHE LIE TO ME!? WHY!?!" she screamed. Pan patted her back.
Pam pulled apart and sat on a rock. "I'm not sure Cali…" she said. Cali plopped down on the grass and clutched her knees. "She should have just told me the truth." Cali whispered. "She has her reasons." Pan replied. "And I'm sure they're good; mind you she never told any of us, and I'm her best friend!" she smiled. Cali just pouted. Pan's smile disappeared as she bent down to Cali. She placed her hand on Cali's shoulder. "Cali, I know this is hard. But you'll see; it will all work out in the end." Pan stated. "I doubt that Pan-Sama." Cali said with remorse. Pan shot her a sympathetic look and embraced her. "No matter what happens Cal, I'm always gonna be here for you." She whispered. Cali replied, "I know Pan-Sama…I know…"
Marron quickly shut the door to her house behind, once she got in. She pushed her weight up against it and slid down on to the floor. "Dear Kami," she thought, "What have I done?"
Kai panted as she made her way back from being with Tai and the others. "Did I miss anything?" she asked. "Heh ;;;," Boxer said with a sweatdrop, "Only a lot…"
TJ stood dumbfounded. His girlfriend was his half sister! "How could this have happened?" he thought. Of course he wasn't mad at Cali or Marron for that matter, but he had his thoughts about his father. "Did dad really know all along?" TJ questioned. TJ didn't think he'd get his answer. "I guess that means I won't be taking her to the prom in two weeks…" he joked. But his joke to himself didn't make him feel any better.
Pan and Cali flew to Cali's house. Both froze outside the door. "Do you want me to come in with you?" Pan asked. Cali shook he head. "No, this is something I have to do alone." She said. Pan nodded. "Alright, call me if you need anything." Pan chided turning around. "Pan-Sama…" Cali yelled abruptly. Pan turned her head. "Yeah?" she answered softly. "Thank you…" Cali replied with a small smile. Pan grinned. "Anytime Cali-Chan!" she commented and flew to her home.
Cali took a breath and entered her home. "MOTHER!?!" she yelled harshly. "MOTHER!?! WHERE ARE YOU!?!" Cali questioned. Marron got up and went to her daughter. "Cali-Chan…" she whispered. Cali walked up to her mother and slapped her. "HOW DARE YOU!" she screamed. Marron's eyes grew big as she placed her hand on her cheek. "Cali!" she exclaimed in shock. "HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME LIKE THAT ALL OF THESE YEARS?" Cali continued. Marron's eyes grew wet. "Cali…I can explain…" she stated, but Cali was still ranting. "YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME! I MEAN, I WAS DATING HIS SON FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"
"Cali…" Marron tried again, but still, Cali went on. "YOU KNEW HOW MUCH IT MEANT TO ME TO FIND OUT WHO MY FATHER WAS! BUT STILL YOU LIED TO ME!" she shouted. Marron had had enough. She raised her hand and smacked Cali into the couch. "NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME, CALI MAE KRILLIAN! YOU LISTEN TO ME!" she yelled with each of her words dripping with anger. "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT ALL OF THIS IS MY FAULT? Huh!? I AM NOT THE BAD GUY HERE!" she shrieked. "THEN WHO IS MOTHER? WHO IS?" Cali screamed back. "NOBODY'S FAULT! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! THIS WHOLE THING WAS AN ACCIDENT! YOU WERE AN ACCIDENT!" Marron screamed but clasped her mouth when she realized what she said. "Oh Cali-Chan…" she whispered. Cali calmly got up but with her lip trembling. "Is that what you think of me mother? An accident?" she questioned. "Cali…I didn't mean any of that! …that came out ALL WRONG!" Marron exclaimed with her eyes crying. Cali shook her head. "No mother…I think it all came out perfectly." She replied with her own tears falling out. And with that, Cali burst out of the home and took off into the air. "CALI-CHAN!" Marron called after her. No reply. "CALI-CHAAAAAAAAAAN!" Marron exclaimed falling to her knees, crying helplessly.
Kai's eyes grew big after Boxer told her the whole story. "Oh my gosh…" she whispered. "We'd better get going." Angel said looking up at the purple sky. "After all, we're the only ones left." She remarked. The teenagers nodded and flew off into the air. Meanwhile, France had been eavesdropping the whole time.
"So…" she smirked. "Little Miss Blondie's really the daughter of none other than Trunks Briefs himself." France laughed evilly. Note: France hates Cali and all of Boxer's friends except him "I can think of twenty newspapers who'd love to hear this!" she exclaimed. "Maybe than Boxer-Chan will see my amazing work and fall madly in love with me!" she said dreaming of her and Boxer kissing. With another evil laugh, she took out her cell phone. "Hello? Satan City Times? I think you may be interested in a story I've discovered; and don't worry, it's a real front pager!"
OMG! What a chapter! Poor Marron and Cali! And France has sunk an all time low in my story! Sheesh! What an EGO! And what's with Veggie-san? Is something gonna happen to Trunks? Who knows…stay tuned for chapter 9 though… "Nobody's Home"
