Hey it's me again. I thought I would update. Sorry it's been so long. I was getting ready for Ohayocon 06. It rocked! I got my pic taken with Chris Sabat and I got to talk to him about my fan fic. He said he would check into it. Any way here's the next chapter.

Chapter 18

Apparently Chi-Chi hadn't told Goku about what had happened.

"So Rika, how is Bulma and Vegeta?" Goku said trying to break the silence. I didn't answer him I kept quite. "What? What did I say?" Goku said confused.

At that I couldn't take it any more. I unbuckled and since the car was a convertible I flew off.

"Nice Dad." I heard Gohan say. I can only imagine how the rest of the conversation went. The last thing I heard was Goku say "What?" I guess someone had told him what happened. I just flew not knowing what I was doing when I saw a park and landed there. I sat down on a swing, I wanted to cry but I couldn't. Before I noticed what I was doing I was holding my necklace, the one that Vegeta always had with him, when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Vegeta loved you." I turned my head hoping to see Vegeta but instead it was Goku. "Sorry for what I said. I didn't know."

"It's alright." I said. "Not to be rude but could you tell me about Vegeta? What was he up to while I was gone?"

"Are you sure?"

"Ya please tell me." I said.

"He's been trying to beat his rival." Goku stated.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"Me." Goku plainly stated.

"…" I just looked at the ground.

"You asked. He always wanted to see you again. He always talked about how nice of a person you were, at least on Saiyan standards, and how you would double cross people if need be." Goku said trying to cheer me up.

"Huh." I laughed slightly.

"He always wished that he could be like you. I remember once when we had the Dragon balls gathered that he asked foe one wish, he wanted to wish you back, but, he couldn't because you were still alive. So he let me wish Krillen back. He wanted you back more than immortality."

I was shocked Vegeta always said that if he got to wish for anything he would wish for immortality. He wanted immortality more that he wanted to see me I thought. "What else do you know?" I asked.

"I don't know anything else except for the fact that Vegeta loved you. He called you the best sister in the world and he was sorry that he couldn't protect you from your brother." Goku said.

"Thanks Goku, I think I needed to hear that." I said looking up at him.

"Yea, let's go eat I'm starving." Goku said in his normal hyper voice.

"I think I'm going to stay here for awhile."

"Alright if your sure. Just please come home tonight. And Gohan's going to be disappointed." Goku said.

"Tell him I'm sorry but I needed time to think."

"All righty!" Goku said and flew off.

The wind blew the few strands of my hair that hung in my face as I sat there thinking about what Goku had said.

"Hey Rika, Whatz up?" A voice said.

"Who are you?" I said snapping out of my thoughts.

"You don't know me? You stole my boyfriend. I killed your brother. Next I'm going to kill Gohan. Can't you find me now? You aren't as strong as I thought you were." The voice said.

"Videl!" I said venomously.

"Hey you do know me." She said. "Let me guess your going to seek revenge for your brother and stop me from killing Gohan."

"You better believe. It. I'm not letting you get away with murder." I spat.

"I hope you got a lot stronger or that's not possible." She mocked.

"Try this." I said while transforming. "See if you can withstand a Saiyan princess."

--- At the restaurant. ---

The son family's meals had just arrived at the table. Goku walked in and sat down.

"Where's Rika?" Gohan asked.

"She wanted time to think." Goku said.

"Oh." Gohan said.

"Poor girl I can't imagine what she's going threw right now. Gohan almost dieing, now her brother, all I have to say is she is handling this better than I would." Chi Chi said.

"Ya." Goten said. "Can we eat yet?"

"Ya." Chi Chi laughed.

They all dug into their food when suddenly a powerful ki level appeared. Goku, Gohan, and Goten stopped eating in mid bite.

"What's wrong?" Chi Chi asked.

"Gohan and I have to go." Goku said.

"Why?" Chi Chi asked.

"We just have to." Gohan said.

"If you leave this table I will not make you anything to eat when you get home." Chi Chi said angrily.

"So be it." Goku said.

Goku and Gohan ran out of the resturant and took off.

"The nerve of those two." Chi Chi said.

---Rika vs. Videl---

"Hahahahaha…" Videl laughed hysterically after I powered up. "That power won't stop me."

"DRAGON BEAM!" A Dragon shoot out of my hands like before. This time the dragon engulfed Videl, at that time Gohan and Goku appeared from the sky.

"We sensed your power grow at dinner." Gohan said when he landed.

"What's going on?" Goku asked after seeing the dragon.

"Don't worry about it I have this under control." I said arrogantly. "You can leave now."

"What's wrong with you?" Gohan asked. "You aren't the Rika I knew before. Who are you fighting?"

"Videl, now leave I have this under control." I said almost yelling.

Gohan walked up to me stared in my eyes and smacked me across the face. I murderously into his onyx eyes, then I came back to my senses. "Gohan! Videl is going to kill you if you don't leave." I said.

"No she won't." Gohan said now walking to stand beside me. From the other side Goku walked up.

"It's three Saiyans vs. one human. I think if she was smart she would leave." Goku said trying to get me to look at Videl. It worked. I looked up to were Videl was but she had disappeared.
