Thunder: Lalala
Trunks: Well let's hope this next part is better than that last one! I mean, come on! You must be losing your touch.
Thunder: Aw, you're so mean... T.T
Goten: I'm siding with him. You better get your act together, sis.
Thunder: Well sooooooooooory! I'm just trying to build a bridge, here!
Goten: A bridge?
Trunks: Wha?
Thunder: Well when I tell a story, the begining and end are the easiest parts to relay, but the middle gets kinda jumbled, you know? So in order to get to the next good part, I have to know how to get there. And thus, I build a bridge between the parts I know! The bridge being a thought to connect two thoughts! Get it?
Trunks & Goten: ... ...Whatever...
Thunder: You guys never understand anything... Trunks, you may be the smartest, and Goten, you may be the dumbest-
Goten: HEY!
Thunder: -but you are both boys and boys can be retarded any day of the week.
Trunks: Let's see... Today's Wedesday!
Thunder: See what I mean? Just read...
One Month Later>
After regaining conciousness, the two Sons had gone home and told Chichi the bad news. She had fallen to her knees, crying, and didn't stop. Word had gotten around with everyone that was friends with Goku and, in turns, they all came to see him, assuring him they'd help find the DragonBalls and bring her back.
So now, after a month of searching, they finally had all seven Dragonballs and were about to call forth the Eternal Dragon.
"Shenron! I summon you!" Gohan was the one to call out. A bright light shot into the air and twisted around the darkening sky as Shenron awoke from slumber. The light darkened to reveal his scaly green body twisting through the clouds.
"What have you summoned me for?" He asked in a deep voice that rumbled through the sky.
Gohan stepped forward and yelled aloud, "Eternal Dragon! Please bring Son Thunder back to life!" The dragon seemed to ponder the question a moment and all around everyone was nervous and anxious to hear his reply.
"It cannot be done." He answered and everyone gasped. Questions came forth from everyone rapidly.
"Why not?" Piccolo asked grufly.
"Does that mean she isn't dead?" Chichi asked hopefully.
"How can it not be possible?" Bulma asked inquisitively.
"Shenron," Gohan called over everyone, "why can you not bring her back?"
"There is no existance of a 'Son Thunder' in the afterworld and neither is there one in the living world." Everyone was so shocked that they didn't know what to say!
"But how the hell can that be possible!" Goku yelled. "She couldn't have just disappeared into thin air and not be in either worlds! Where could she be!"
"Tell us, Shenron! Why doesn't she exist?" Gohan asked.
"This goes somewhat beyond me. I cannot say for sure what happened to this so called 'Son Thunder,' but I can name two possibilities of what may have happened. First, she could still be alive but not know who she is. She could have taken on a new identity. Second, she could have died again in the afterlife and thus has been erased from existance altogether."
"Well that's not good!" Goten yelled.
"Do you think she forgot who she is?" Gohan asked his mother.
"I hope so, I really don't think I could bare the thought of her being gone for forever!" Chichi started swooning and almost fainted when Goku put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"I can only say, the brat probably went and got herself into a mess in the afterlife. Just like her father, she probably ran into a fight not knowing the circumstances. She's probably gone for good. Good ridance to one of Kakarot's brats, if you ask me!" Vegeta said haughtilly.
"Dad! How could you say that? She may have been reckless at times, but I'm sure she wouldn't have gotten herself killed again! She has to be alive, I know it!" Trunks yelled at his father.
"You're right, Trunks. I believ she's still alive too, and maybe someday her memory will come back and we'll find her!" Bulma assured him.
"Do you have any idea which it may have been? Which is more likely?" Gohan asked Shenron. The dragon pondered again.
"Odds are ten to one she's died again and gone forever. Now am I done here?" The mighty dragon asked.
"Yes..." Gohan said sadly, "You can go now..." The Dragon turned back into a long serpent-like light and disappeared into the dragonballs which then dispersed over the world within a matter of seconds.
"So...so what do we do now?" Goten asked.
"Well Shenron told us it's possible she's alive, but the odds are greater that she isn't. We also know that if she is alive, theres a chance her memory will come back and she will find us. I say we just wait it out and not waste our time searching for her." Piccolo explained to everyone this reasoning.
"But, but Goku! We may never know if she's alive or not! It wouldn't be a waste to search for her!" Chichi told Goku, tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Chichi, but I have to agree with Piccolo on this matter... What if she sin't alive? The seach would be in vain, and besides that, we don't even know where to start! She could be on the other side of the world for all we know. I'm sorry, Chichi, but we're just going to have to hope she comes back to us someday..." Chichi looked up at Goku as the tears that had been welling up in her eyes fell down her cheeks. She started sobbing and buried her face into Goku's chest and he wrapped his arms around her.
He had a tear or two in his eyes as well: everyone did. They all stood there and weeped openly, fearing and mourning the worst, yet hoping for the best just the same.
But were their tears shed in vain? We'll have to rewind a bit...And you'll find out!
