Love Will Find a Way
Ch.18
Planet Vegeta
Vegeta, Goku, Krillin, Piccolo, and Broly excited their spacepods.
"So do we wait here?" Krillin asked Goku.
Goku shrugged. "I don't know, he didn't tell me," Goku stated.
"We should wait here for him," Broly suggested.
Piccolo nodded. "He shouldn't take too long."
Krillin smiled. "I can't wait to see my beloved 18," he stated.
Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest. "What if she found another?" Vegeta questioned.
Krillin frowned and glared at Vegeta. "Thank you for ruining the moment," Krillin said with sarcasm.
Broly chuckled. "I don't think anyone has a better shinier bald head than you," said Broly.
Krillin smirked. "I know," he stated rubbing his head.
"What about Tien?" Piccolo asked.
Krillin looked at Piccolo.
"Well no Saiyan is shorter than he is," Vegeta stated.
Krillin crossed his arms. "I wouldn't be talking, Vegeta,"
Vegeta glared at Krillin.
"I don't think this is the time to argue,"
They turned around.
"We should go into the palace," Trunks suggested.
They entered the palace.
"So can you tell us now?" Piccolo asked.
Trunks sighed. "They're on Planet Cold," Trunks stated.
Goku punched the wall. "Why didn't we check there?" he asked.
Broly shrugged. "I guess we never guessed," he said looking at Trunks. "Who told you all of this?"
"Uh…them," Trunks answered.
"Them?" questioned Krillin.
"Chi-Chi and Bulma," Trunks answered.
"Oh so do we know you in the future?" Broly asked.
"No…you're dead…all of you are," Trunks stated.
"I'm not the only one," Krillin cheered. "Wait that's a bad thing."
Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "Frieza, right?" Vegeta asked.
Trunks nodded. "He'll come here in three months from now," Trunks stated.
Broly crossed his arms. "So I have three months to live…oh great,"
"No if you all train maybe just maybe you'll be able to destroy him," Trunks stated.
"Who dies first?" Krillin asked.
"Me," Goku answered.
"He's suppose to die tomorrow…but he won't do the stupid thing he did in the future," Trunks stated looking at Goku. "Right?"
Goku nodded.
"Are we the only ones?" Broly asked.
"Your father, King Vegeta, 18, 17, Raditz, Tien, Yamcha, then Gohan in twelve years," Trunks stated.
"No not my 18!" Krillin said looking at the ground.
"Wait who's Gohan? I've never heard of him before," said Broly.
"Gohan is Goku's son that you'll meet tonight," Trunks stated.
"Wait…did 18 find anybody else?" Krillin asked.
"Not that I know of," Trunks answered.
Krillin smiled and stuck his tongue out at Vegeta. "Hear that Vegeta?"
Vegeta rolled his eyes.
Krillin chuckled. "Oh yeah I'm the man,"
"Soon to be a dead man," Vegeta stated.
Krillin glared back at Vegeta then looked at Trunks. "Please tell Vegeta is going to have a miserable three months," Krillin begged.
Trunks shrugged.
Goku and Piccolo started to laugh.
Broly shook his head. "Man this sucks…I don't even have a mate yet," Broly stated.
Krillin's smile widened. "I will soon," he cheered.
They all looked at him.
"Please don't share it's bad enough that I have big ears," Piccolo stated.
Krillin blushed.
"I think they've been through enough torture…my poor ears nearly broke when we were on Frieza's ship," Piccolo stated.
Trunks cleared his throat. "Anyway how about you go eat and get cleaned up," Trunks suggested.
"Why?" Vegeta asked.
Trunks looked at Vegeta. "Well I thought you guys would want to look nice…since you haven't seen them in six years," Trunks stated.
Broly nodded. "Good thinking," he said turning on his heel.
"Who do you have to impress?" Krillin asked.
Broly looked at them. "I don't want them to think I'm sloppy, plus they're like family to me," Broly stated.
Krillin frowned. "I don't even want to think of you being related to me," said Krillin.
Broly walked down the hall.
Vegeta looked at Trunks. "What is your name anyway?" Vegeta asked.
Trunks looked at him. "I…I can't tell you," Trunks answered.
"So what do we call you? Boy?" Vegeta asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"Sure that works," Trunks stated.
"How do you know Bulma and Chi-Chi?" Krillin asked.
"Uh…my mother," Trunks answered.
Goku chuckled.
Piccolo shook his head.
"Do we know her?" Krillin asked.
A sweatdrop formed on the back of Trunks' head. "Well…uh…I can't tell you that either," Trunks stated.
"Why not?" Vegeta asked.
Trunks looked at the ground.
"Leave him alone guys," Goku ordered.
Vegeta turned and headed down the hall. The others followed.
"Don't worry he's always like that," Krillin stated.
Three hours later"I'll tell you the plan once we arrive, now let's get going," Trunks stated.
They entered their pods and they were off.
Girls' P.O.V
Chi-Chi grabbed onto her chest where her heart was. She had a warm feeling. She looked out the window. 'Where are you Goku? What are you doing?' she thought.
"You ok Chi-Chi?" Bulma asked frowning.
"Yes I'm fine I just have this weird feeling," Chi-Chi stated.
"Are you sick Mommy?" Gohan asked.
Chi-Chi looked at her son. "No honey," Chi-Chi answered.
18 looked at Chi-Chi's face. "I know that look…you're praying," said 18.
Chi-Chi looked at 18. "Yes I am," she stated.
Bulma looked at Chi-Chi then her hands. "We should try to forget," Bulma suggested.
"Forget? Bulma what are you talking about?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Forget them, their names, their looks, their hair, their eyes, their touch, their lies, their truths, their promises, our memories of them, everything that has anything to do with them," Bulma stated.
18 looked at Bulma. "I can't I've tried," 18 stated.
"I won't…I know I could never forget," stated Chi-Chi.
Gohan just stared then a question popped into his head that they never answered maybe that has something to do with this. "Mom, where's my dad?" he asked.
The three young women looked at Gohan.
"Gohan sweetie we already talked about this," Chi-Chi stated.
"You never answered," Gohan stated looking at his hands.
18 looked at Chi-Chi. "He needs to know the truth, it's not his fault that he left," 18 stated.
Bulma looked at Gohan. "Come here Gohan," Bulma ordered.
Gohan walked over to Bulma and Bulma pulled him onto her lap.
"Baby, your daddy was sent away. Frieza didn't like your daddy and sent your daddy to a planet called Vegeta. You see...your daddy was very excited that he was going to have a son, but he didn't know that Frieza had set up a trap. Your daddy is probably looking all over the universe for you and your mommy," Bulma stated. She kissed his forehead.
"Gohan come here," 18 ordered.
Gohan walked over to 18 and hopped onto her lap.
"Gohan your daddy was a great guy. Bulma and I loved him like a brother. Your mommy and daddy loved each other very much; nothing could separate them forever. You're dad was a nice and caring guy. When he was sent away he was only a teenager, but I bet he's a great and handsome young man," 18 stated messing with his hair.
Chi-Chi smiled.
Gohan looked at 18's face. "Where you ever in love Aunt 18?" Gohan asked.
18 sighed. "I still am. Your daddy was a prince of Vegeta and had two brothers; I fell for one of his brothers. The guy I liked was short, but he was so adorable and sweet. We were going to be together, but Frieza messed that up," 18 stated frowning.
"I'm sorry," Gohan said hugging 18.
"It's not your fault," Bulma stated.
Gohan looked at Bulma. "What about you Aunt Bulma?" he asked.
Bulma looked at her feet. "I don't want to talk about it," she stated standing up. "I'm trying to forget remember?"
18 looked at Gohan. "We also knew a guy that was green and had big ears," 18 stated.
Gohan's eyes widened. "Was he nice?" he asked.
18 nodded. "But we'll talk about it later," she stated.
"Aunt 18, Aunt Bulma told me she once liked a little dwarf is that true?" Gohan whispered.
18 looked at him and nodded. "He was a meany too," she stated.
Two hours later (Guy's P.O.V)
They landed on Planet Cold.
Their pods opened and they got out. They all looked at Trunks.
'This way…follow me…don't be loud," Trunks whispered walking in a different direction. They went behind a rock. Piccolo poked his head up, the ship was right there, and he smiled.
Trunks pulled out a map. "Ok, 18 is here, Krillin take this map and don't make too much noise we don't want some slave to notice you," Trunks stated handing Krillin the map. He pulled out another. "Bulma is here, Vegeta you have to get her and Gohan," Trunks stated handing Vegeta the map. He pulled out the last map. "Chi-Chi is here, Goku you'll bring her, but destroy this camera," Trunks ordered handing Goku the last map.
"What about me and Piccolo?" Broly asked.
"You stay and watch with me," Trunks stated. He handed Vegeta, Krillin, and Goku all a walky-talky. "Don't take too long."
They nodded.
Krillin took a deep breath.
Goku, Krillin, and Vegeta all entered the ship.
Krillin's P.O.VKrillin stared down at the map that was handed to him.
'So I take a left here then I right there' he thought as he turned left. He looked around.
The ship was broken down and smelly. There were many doors. He turned right. Lights were flickering. He sighed. How was he going to find her? There was a scream. He flinched.
'Please don't be her,' he thought. He looked down at the map. He stopped at a door and opened it. There was another hall. 'Where did that kid get this?' He stopped. He was supposed to take another right. He turned right.
He looked at the map. 'That's weird she's suppose to be right here' he thought. He looked ahead of him. His breath got caught in his throat.
There was a woman with blonde hair scrubbing the floor. He couldn't think. 'What do I do? Oh man she's right there. Well at least I think its her,' he thought. He shook his head and took another step closer.
His heart started to race and he could hear its beat in his ears. His throat was dry. 'Oh shit, I'm scared to death. Maybe I should wait till she turns around. No bad idea…maybe I should tap her shoulder…yeah that will work…man she's going to be so happy,' he thought.
He stepped closer and laid his hand down on her shoulder she grabbed his hand and…
18's P.O.V
18 sat scrubbing the floor. She felt like she was being watched, but she kept cleaning. 'Probably some noisy guard,' she thought. She squeezed her sponge. 'Why doesn't he leave.'
She sighed and kept on scrubbing.
A hand rested on her shoulder. 'Who does he think he is' she thought as she grabbed the hand. She threw whoever it was over her shoulder. "Who do you think…." She stopped as she looked at the man that crashed into the wall. He waved.
She couldn't believe her eyes. "Krill…is it really you?" she asked. She hit herself in her head. 'Ouch' she thought. She looked at him. It was it was Krillin. She ran over to him.
He looked at her face and smiled. "18!" he whispered.
She hugged him. "Oh Kami I thought I would never see you again," she stated kissing his still bald head.
"Never say never," Krillin stated grabbing her hands.
She smiled then frowned. "Wait what are you doing here? You could be killed," she whispered.
Krillin shushed her. "Come on, I'll explain later," he stated running off.
"Wait what about the girls?" she asked.
"Their being taken care of," Krillin stated.
"Wait," she ordered.
He stopped and looked at her. "What?" he asked.
She kissed his lips. Krillin smiled.
"Come on," he ordered pulling her out the door.
Goku's P.O.VHe looked down at his map. He was suppose to take a left right left right then take another hall then another left then through a door. He sighed this was going to be a while.
He couldn't wait to see her again after all these years. He wondered is she had changed or if she was the same. He sighed then smiled. He was going to see her soon. He started to run down the way the map Trunks gave him.
He opened the first door to another hall. He heard a boom then a Krill. He smiled. 'Looks like 18 and Krillin found each other' he thought. He ran down corners and passed doors. He stopped. He was supposed to destroy a camera around here.
He looked up there was the camera. He formed a ki ball and fired it at the camera; it broke into a million pieces. He started to run then came to a complete halt. The door in front of him is where she was supposed to be.
'Maybe I should walk right in there, no bad idea, she might freak out, I should knock…yeah knock,' he thought.
He cleared his throat that had just become dry. He knocked on the door he waited. The door opened and….
Chi-Chi's P.O.VShe stared at out the window. She could have sworn she saw Piccolo walk by. Maybe she was losing it.
Knock!
She looked at her door. 'Who could that be?' she thought as she grabbed a pan and started to walk toward the door. 'If it's Zarbon I'm going to wack him,' she thought.
She sighed and grabbed onto the knob. She turned the knob slowly and opened the door.
"Hey Chi…"
Chi-Chi slammed the pan onto the head of Goku? Her eyes widened. Goku's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
"Chi," he finished.
"Oh my Kami! What are you doing here?" she asked dragging him into her place.
Goku rubbed his head. "I came here to take you off of this planet," Goku stated.
She smiled. "I still don't believe my eyes," she stated pulling him to the couch.
"We have to go, are ships are ready so we just have to wait for Krillin and Vegeta," Goku stated grabbing her hand and pulling her out into the hall.
"But what about…" Chi-Chi started.
"Gohan? Vegeta will get him," Goku stated.
"How do you know?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Let's just say I was told," Goku said smiling back at her. She grabbed onto his arm.
"I'M GETTING OUT OF THIS HELLHOLE!" she shouted.
Goku looked at her and chuckled.
"Come on…Broly will be thrilled to see you girls again…he started to skip," Goku stated.
Chi-Chi laughed. "Sounds like him," she stated pulling herself closer to Goku.
They stopped before completely exiting the ship.
"You ready?" he asked.
She nodded. "More than ever," she answered.
Goku kicked the door open and they stepped off. Goku picked her up into his arms. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Kami I missed you," he whispered.
"I missed you too," she whispered back.
Goku kissed her lips. They pulled apart and both smiled.
Vegeta's P.O.VVegeta looked at the map that boy from the future gave him. He stared at it.
'This is just great…what in the hell am I going to say?' Vegeta thought stopping. He started walking again. He was supposed to turn right. He turned right.
"YOU BASTARD!" a feminine voice shouted.
He froze in his tracks. He shook his head. He didn't hear anything. He started walking again.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?" Shouted the voice again.
He was getting close; that voice said it all. He turned a corner and froze. There she was lying on the ground holding a small boy. Her eyes they looked almost soulless.
'Kakarot's brat no doubt,' he thought.
A green alien stood in front of them. "You heard Lord Frieza no back talking and that's what the brat did," the alien stated.
"Please I beg of you spar him…I'll…I'll talk to Frieza," she begged holding onto the boy tighter.
"You're willing to take his punishment…I've heard you were stupid, but this…ha you'll be dead by tomorrow so will the brat," the alien stated.
Bulma closed her eyes shut.
Vegeta shook his head. What did she get herself into?
She opened her eyes and glared at him. "Touch him and you'll pay. I will not let my sister lose the one thing she has," Bulma snapped. She stood up.
"Listen here wrench the boy dies," the alien stated.
"Listen here you big giant bugger…I say he lives," she spat.
The alien raised his hand. Vegeta had seen enough. He tackled the alien and…
Bulma's P.O.V"Listen here you big giant bugger…I say he lives," she spat.
Kuru raised his hand. He was about to strike when he was tackled into the wall. Bulma closed her eyes she didn't need to see another death. She heard someone get rammed into the wall.
"You'll pay," she heard Kuru stated. She heard a scream and then silence. She grabbed Gohan's unconscious body. She took a deep breath. Her life was over. 'This is just great,' she thought.
A hand touched her cheek. She took a deep breath and stood up and kicked. "Don't even try to…to" she stopped. Vegeta was rubbing his sore cheek. She backed up and grabbed Gohan. She kept backing up till she was against the wall.
"Who are you and what do you want? I don't like this sick joke," she spat.
Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest. "I came here to get you off of this ugly planet and you kick my handsome face…and I'm sure you know who I am," he stated. He smirked.
Bulma raised an eyebrow. She couldn't breath. She felt weak.
Vegeta slowly walked over to her. "This isn't a joke let's get you and the brat off of this dump," he suggested.
She shook her head.
"Your sisters have been taken care off," Vegeta stated.
She looked at him. "Ok…but I don't think I can walk," she stated.
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "What am I a taxi?" he asked himself. He picked her up and the boy and started down the hall.
OutsideTrunks looked at his watch. "Where are they?" he asked Goku who was kissing Chi-Chi. Trunks rolled his eyes. "Uh hello…Goku I asked you a question."
Goku and Chi-Chi parted. "Sorry, I don't know, why?" Goku asked.
"We have to get out of here in three minutes," Trunks stated.
"Then let's get going,"
They looked up.
"Why didn't you tell us you were there?" Krillin, who holding 18's hand, asked.
"Seeing how dumb you really are, now let's get in those damn pods and go," Vegeta stated landing. "Oh and Kakarot (throws Gohan to Goku) here's your brat." Vegeta enters his pod with Bulma.
"Shall we?" Krillin asked.
"We shall," 18 said as they entered Krillin's pod.
Broly and Piccolo entered theirs. (Just to remind you they're not sharing.)
Goku, Chi-Chi, and Gohan (who is being carried) entered Goku's.
Trunks rolled his eyes again and got into his.
They were off.
Goku's spacepodGoku looked at Chi-Chi then Gohan.
"Isn't he cute?" Chi-Chi asked.
Goku nodded. "I've seen him on Planet Karas," Goku stated.
"I know…he told me he saw you," Chi-Chi stated.
Goku grinned. He kissed her cheek. "You've missed a lot," he stated.
"So did you," she stated grabbing his hand.
"I never gave up," she stated.
He looked at her. "I did promise, didn't I?" Goku asked.
"Yes you did," she said kissing his lips.
Gohan started to move.
He opened his eyes. "Mommy?" he asked.
Chi-Chi smiled. "Gohan sweetie there's someone I want you to meet," Chi-Chi stated.
Gohan sat up and pointed at Goku. "You…I've seen you," he stated.
"Gohan this is your father…his name is Goku," Chi-Chi stated. "He came for us, didn't your aunts say he would?"
Gohan nodded.
"Hi," said Goku.
"Hi," said Gohan.
Krillin's spacepodKrillin took her hands and kissed them.
"I can't believe I'm here with you Krillin," she stated kissing his forehead.
"Me neither," he said smiling.
18 looked at him. "How did you know where I was?" she asked.
"That boy I told you about," Krillin answered.
"Oh," replied 18. She stared at him.
"I've missed you so much," she stated.
"I've missed you too…you know what…Frieza is never going to take you back there," Krillin stated.
18 smiled and laid her head down on his shoulder. "I know that," she whispered. "It feels so great to be with you."
Krillin moved a few strands of her hair. "I know what you mean," he whispered.
Vegeta's spacepodBulma stared at Vegeta's face. He was really there. She sighed and snuggled closer to him.
He turned his head and looked at her. He smirked. "What are you doing?"
She backed away. "Sorry," she whispered. She looked at her hands.
Vegeta wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him. She looked at him.
"How? How is it possible?" she asked.
Vegeta shrugged. "You know me and you definitely know Kakarot," he said.
She looked away from him.
"Kakarot wouldn't let his mate just sit on Frieza's ship and…" he made her look at him, "and I wouldn't let my woman either."
She smiled, which she hadn't in a very long time. "Kami I missed that ego of yours," she stated.
He chuckled. "I missed your bitching," he whispered.
She hit him in the arm.
Trunks' PodTrunks closed his eyes. "Hopefully you're right," his whispered under his breath. 'Hopefully Frieza doesn't find out sooner. Mom, Chi-Chi, be safe, please stay away from Frieza, I should be home soon,' Trunks thought.
He opened his eyes. "Every thing is going right, well now anyway," he said to himself. Trunks sighed. 'Things should go smoothly,' he thought. 'Unless he finds us.'
