Chapter 21

"Where am I?" she scratched her head.

"Your safe now, don't worry." She looked up to see Piccolo carrying her in his arms again.

"How did I get here? Wasn't I just" she stopped as she remembered that she had just seen Cell absorb her uncle. "Piccolo what happened after I went unconscious?"

"Well, first you started to scream, and then you physically changed."

"Changed?"

"See for your self." She looked down and immediately noticed that she wasn't wearing her clothes, she was wearing Piccolos white cloche. Then she saw her hands. She couldn't believe it. Her hands were white, not pale but white and her nails were black. Then she saw her feet poking out of the cloche and saw that they were white too.

"What happened?" Just then her hair blew over her face and it was green!

"It appears that you were affected by Cells transformations. As he changed, you did."

"Wow, and what do you mean transformations?"

"When you were unconscious he also absorbed 18#. While he was distracted looking at his new form, I grabbed you and escaped."

"Didn't he see you?"

"I didn't stay around long enough to find out. But getting back to what happened I took you back to the lookout meaning to get you some more clothes but couldn't stay long as Gohan told me that his dad fell ill on the way to the Androids and had to be carried back. So we are currently on our way to his house."

"Wow, and to think last week the most major thing to happen to me was to get a new novel by Ovid. How did Cell absorb 18# and I thought you were at the bottom of a lake?"

"Well I was thrown into the lake but I swam to the surface in time to save you and he was half way through absorbing 18# when I got to you. Then he started to admire himself while I took off with you." He started to descend and landed outside a small house in the middle of a green paradise with lots of cars outside. "We're here." He put her down gently and she made sure that she was completely covered by the cloche. They walked inside to be greeted by a distraught Chi Chi.

"Piccolo what's happened to Goku? Why is he ill? Did toes Androids do this to him?"

"Chi Chi calm yourself."

"Wait, you don't know what's wrong with him?"

"No." She started to cry. "If you know what's wrong with him please tell me. Please."

"I think he has a heart disease."

Piccolo pulled a frown.

"Why do you think that?"

"I just do." And she was right, but the weird thing was that in her timeline, Goku knew he had a heart disease because trunks (from the future) told him and gave him an antidote. A doctor came out of the door where Chi Chi had arrived form.

"Madam, I fear that your husband has contracted a savvier heart disease. And it's irreversible. I'm sorry." Chi Chi broke down on the floor and sobbed. But stopped to look at her.

"How did you know?"

"Yes, how did you know?" Piccolo was staring at her.

"Well." She couldn't tell them that she was from the future so she would have to lie. Again. "I think I can sense it." They obviously believed her as they accepted that and turned to see Goku. Bulma came out of the room and looked at her.

"Well you don't look exactly descent now do you? Let's get you changed. Although I don't think that I have anything hat would fit you. Come with me and we'll have to make something from scratch." Moray followed Bulma into a room at the other side of the house and saw lots of fabrics laid over chairs and hanging on walls.

"Now I see you as a Green kind of person, that or black. What do you prefer?"

"Green please." Bulma laid a sheet of Green material against her. Then she took her measurements with a tape and started to cut the cloth.

"Do you like Zena?"

"I'm sorry, Zena. Do you mean the programme? The warrior princess?

"That's the one."

"Yes I guess. Why?"

"Because I have the perfect outfit in mind for you." Moray started to yawn. She was very tired. Still. "Honey would you like to have a nap? I'll wake you when it's done."

"Thank you." She curled up to sleep and drifted off.
