Last Time:

"Oh, right!" ChiChi giggled. "'ChiChi' is me!"

Kakarotto couldn't help but smile. "That's right. Come on. We're going to go back home." She followed him outside to the car. They drove back to ChiChi's house.

"Kakarotto, do you mind if ChiChi can stay with you and your family? I think it'll be a little dangerous for her to stay here. It will only be for a little while," Ox King said.

"Sure. I'll tell my parents."

"Thanks." Caroline and Ox King got out the car and waved good-bye at them as they drove off.

As Kakarotto was driving, ChiChi poked him in the arm. She never knew his name.

"What?"

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Kakarotto." He smiled.

"Where are we going?"

"We're going to my house."

"Oh." The rest of the ride was silent. ChiChi looked out the window, admiring all the trees and houses. All the trees had pretty green stuff on them, as ChiChi would call them. The houses were beautiful and most of them have gardens. They arrived at Kakarotto's house, which was pretty big.

"We're here," Kakarotto said, getting out of the car. ChiChi followed his example. He opened the front door with his keys and went into the kitchen. He had to get his after school snack. It was part of his routine. In the kitchen was his mother, Serena, cooking. His mother had black eyes and black and dark brown straight hair.

"Hey mom."

"Hey Kakarotto, ChiChi!" Serena smiled at them. ChiChi just stared at her. She didn't know what to do.

"Uh, ChiChi, this is my mom, Serena," Kakarotto introduced. He know that she wouldn't remember his mom either.

Serena looked at him, puzzled. "Don't she know that already?"

"Kinda," He took Serena out the kitchen. "Ma, she don't remember you."

"What?"

"She got amnesia."

"What! How?" Kakarotto's family loved ChiChi like a daughter. They loved having her around.

"Somebody broke into her house while she was sick. They did something to cause her to have amnesia. Her parents think it'll be too dangerous for her to stay there. Can she stay here? It'll only be for a little while," Kakarotto begged.

"Of course she can."

"Thanks mom!" He gave her a peck on the cheek. Then he picked up the phone and called Caroline and Ox King. Just to let them know that it was okay. He hung up the phone. They said they would come by to drop off some of her clothes. He signed.

"Ma, where's dad, Radditz, and Turlis?"

"Your father is in the livingroom. Radditz and Turlis are out. You know them. Don't worry. I'll tell them about ChiChi."

"Thanks." He turned to ChiChi. "Come on. I'm gonna show you to your room."

"Okay." She got out the chair she was sitting in and followed him upstairs. They stopped at the last door on the left side of the hall.

"This is your room." He went to a door that was exactly across from ChiChi's temporarily room. "This is my room. Come get me if you need anything. Okay?" ChiChi nodded. "Good." The phone rang in Kakarotto's room. He opened the door and answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey man." It was Eric! "So what happened?"

Kakarotto laughed a little. "I thought you didn't care."

"I don't."

"Then why do you want to know?"

"Because I'm nosy!" Kakarotto laughed. He told Eric what happened to ChiChi and her house. Then he told him that she would stay at his house for a while.

"This would be the perfect time for you if ChiChi didn't have amnesia. Anyway, I'm sorry about that. I'm sure she'll gain her memory back."

"Thanks man."

"Well, I'm gonna let you go. Bye."

"Bye." They hung up. Eric told Vegeta, Bulma, and Sakura. Of course, he stayed on longer with Sakura. Kakarotto looked up and saw ChiChi on the other of the room, looking at pictures. She pointed at a picture of little Kakarotto.

"That's you?" She asked.

"Yeah." He smiled, "I was about 3 years old."

"How old are you now?"

"17." They were silent for a moment. Then she asked another question.

"What about me?"

"You're 16."

ChiChi mouthed the word 'Oh.' Then she pointed at another picture. This time it was Serena and his father, Bardock.

"I know that's your mom but who is he?"

"That's my dad, Bardock."

"Do I have a mom and dad?"

"Yeah. Do you remember the two people we were with?" ChiChi nodded. "They are your mom and dad." He looked at the picture by his bed. It was a picture of himself, ChiChi, Eric, Sakura, Vegeta, and Bulma together. "Come here."

ChiChi walked over to him. She sat down next to him on the bed. He picked up the picture so ChiChi can see better. She was surprised to see herself in the photo.

"That's me and you. That's Bulma and her boyfriend, Vegeta. That's Sakura and her boyfriend, Eric. They're our friends."

"What's a boyfriend?"

Kakarotto thought of a way to tell her. "It's a boy that a girl really, really love but he's not related to her." That was the only he could break it down to her.

"Oh." Then she smiled at him. "Are you my boyfriend?"

He smiled back. "Yep." Then he heard Ox King and Caroline voices downstairs. "I think your parents are downstairs. Come on." He stood up and walked out the room. ChiChi followed his example. Her parents were indeed downstairs, along with Serena and Bardock. Serena told Bardock that ChiChi had amnesia.

"Thanks for letting her stay, Serena," Caroline said. "We appreciate this."

"Oh, no problem. Why don't you stay too?"

"No, that's okay."

"No, I insist."

"Thank you so much."

Serena smiled. "No problem," She repeated.

"They're staying too?" Kakarotto asked. They didn't notice him or ChiChi standing there.

"Yep," Serena said, taking the bag of clothes from Ox King. "Can you take these up to her room?" She gave them to him. Kakarotto nodded. He walked back upstairs to her room.

"We'll be back. We're gonna get some of our clothes," Ox King said.

"Okay."

About 20 minutes later, they came back with their clothes. Bardock showed them their room. Caroline came downstairs to help Serena cook dinner. It'll get done faster with the extra help.

"What are you going to do about school?" Serena asked.

Caroline signed. "I don't know."

"Maybe if you call the school and tell them about ChiChi, they would give her a tutor that will teach her the basic things. Maybe she'll remember it," Serena suggested. But Caroline still had that 'I don't know' look. "Oh, come on. My son can take her to class and put her up."

"Alright, I'll give it a try." Caroline picked up the phone and called the school. They said it was okay and she can start tomorrow.

"Your idea worked," Caroline said as she hung up the phone. They finished cooking.
