"talking" song lyrics

Last time : Melanie met Rai and his son, Geta. She explained why Bra lives with at her house with Goten. Rai ended up inviting Melanie to Capsule Corporation formal dinner event, and she accepted. She left to go home. When Melanie got there, her and Pan went shopping for a dress. After Pan dropped Melanie off, Melanie went inside to find that her mother, Chi Chi, had left. After having to be calmed down by Gohan, Melanie managed to get some sleep. Only to find that the next day, she was going to be in a rush to get ready.

Come Home Soon

"I don't care. I have to be at Capsule Corp in a little under three and half hours and I have no clue of what to do with my hair." Melanie paused. "Bra please?"

The door opened and Bra stood there with Mariana. "I was actually spending time with my daughter. What do you mean?"

"I'm extremely nervous. I've been talking to Rai more and more. I really am starting to think that I like him."

"I would imagine that." Bra said as a matter-of-fact.

"I can't imagine that I could or would ever be able to do anything."

"Why?" Bra asked as she and Melanie walked to Melanie's' room.

"Because of Geta. I wouldn't want to put little Geta through that. I know I like Rai. And I'm a chicken."

"Duh…I understand it."

Bra did Melanie's hair, make-up, and nails. This all took about two hours to do. Melanie's hair was in a French bun with some strands being left down. Those strands were curled. Her nails were friend manicure. Melanie could have done her own make-up, but Bra usually does a much better job.

After this was done, Melanie put her dress on and was getting ready. Bra helped her put on her black high heels. Once Melanie was all done, she went downstairs.

Melanie told everyone bye and left for Capsule Corp. she was extremely nervous in the air car. When she got there, she saw Rai all ready to go. Melanie knew that this night would be the greatest.

I wonder, I pray

"Rai are we sure about going to this party?"

"Yeah…I am. It's going to be a blast. Basically I'm getting introduced into the company and all of the associates. I really could care less."

"Wow. It sounds like so much fun.

Melanie and Rai got to the party and saw that it was going to be boring. So they stayed for a couple hours and then left. Rai all ready hated it, but he was jut glad that Melanie was there with him.

Rai eventually drove Melanie to his house. They got out and went inside. Melanie was confused on why they were here, but decided that it didn't matter.

"Rai…are we not going back to the party?" Melanie asked as she sat down.

"Nope…it bored me. So I thought we could come here and chill. There is no way I'm going back to that party."

"Good. So…where's Geta?"

"At your house actually. I think that he has a crush on Bra…which is disgusting."

"Rai it's not that."

"Then what is it?"

"Because he and Goten can go flying and fight together. Everything he can't do with a normal babysitter. Besides I think that Goten actually adores his little nephew."

"Me too."

Rai kissed Melanie and Melanie kissed Rai back. It grew more and more passionate with every passing second. Before they knew it they were in his bed room having the best night of their lives.

Melanie woke up the next morning with this feeling that she couldn't get rid of. She rolled over to realized that Rai wasn't there and a note. It read: Melanie, I'm so incredibly sorry that I have to go. But I can't stay here any longer. Promise me that you'll take care of yourself and Geta. I have to do this without him. He is going to be upset, but tell him that I love him. I love you too Melanie. And that's why I have to leave. Love you, Rai.

Melanie couldn't believe it. She broke down in tears. In fact, she didn't even want to get up. In the end, her heart overturned her brain. So she got up, put her dress back on, and flew home. When she got home, she went upstairs to her room and cried. There was no way to even tell Geta without him crying. So Melanie went and took a shower.

When she got out, she walked back to her room and changed into jeans and a black halter top. Melanie then went and found Geta, who was standing at the window. Melanie walked up to him.

"Geta, who are you waiting for?" Melanie asked.

"Dwaddy." Geta said not even breaking his stare.

"He's not coming Geta." Melanie said.

Geta turned around and looked at her. "What are wou walking about?"

"He left." Melanie said.

"Why? Where did he go?" Geta frantically asked.

"I dunno Geta. You can stay here with me. Everything will be fine.' Melanie said as she bent down to Geta's height.

"Really?" Geta said. You could tell that tears were threatening to fall.

"Yep…I'll tell you what….you can cry if you want. I won't tell anyone." Melanie said.

Geta attached himself to Melanie. All he did was cry. Melanie couldn't understand why Rai would do this. After about ten minutes, Geta had cried himself to sleep. So Melanie picked Geta up and went back to her room. She sat down on her bed and let Geta sleep. Eventually though, Melanie too fell asleep.

And I sleep alone

I cry alone

And it's so hard livin' here on my own

So please, come home soon

(Come home soon)

Melanie woke up to find Geta sitting on her bed. Melanie just watched him. Geta finally turned around and looked at her.

"Hi." Geta said as he tackled her.

"Geta are you better now?" Melanie asked. She was really worried about him.

"Yep…I tink. But I'm not sure."

"That's all right. Trust me its hared. I'm having the same problem now." Melanie said.

"Really? What's wrong?" Geta asked.

"My parents both are gone. My dad left eight years ago and my mom left two days ago."

"Why weren't wou crying?" Geta asked.

"I honestly don't know. I think it's just because my mom and me were not that close. It hurts though. I mean she's my mom and I miss her so much. But you know everything is going to be fine." Melanie said.

"Wow do wou know?"

"Because my oldest-brother said so. I really trust Gohan and I know that he knows these things." Melanie said. She knew that when it came to Gohan, he was always right.

"Cool." Geta said. He crawled back up to Melanie and he loved listening to her talk. "Is dwaddy ever coming hwome?" Geta asked. He really wasn't sure what this all meant.

"Yep, he will, I just know it." Melanie said. "Why don't we go to Capsule Corp so you can get your things?" Geta nodded. "Ok then. Let's go."

So Melanie and Geta left for Capsule Corp. Melanie flew while Geta had his arms locked around her neck. It took ten minutes to get here and then they went inside.

They went upstairs to Geta's room and gathered his things. Melanie was so sure that Rai wanted his son with her. But it was Melanie that wasn't sure. So she helped Geta get his things and then they went back home. When they got back, Melanie took Geta's things to her room whiled Geta waited patiently for a cookie since Bra was cooking.

Melanie got to her room and set the things down. Melanie didn't even know how to raise a two-year-old. Actually she knew that she wasn't going to have to deal with it by herself. So Melanie went back downstairs to the kitchen to talk to Bra.

"Bra, I need to talk to you." Melanie said.

"Ok. About what?" Bra asked as she turned away form the oven.

Melanie left the kitchen and saw Geta watching television with Mariana. So then Melanie walked back in. "Bra, exactly do you raise a two-year-old?"

"Why do you need to know!" Bra asked. She was really shocked.

"Because Rai left Geta to me so that I can take care of him." Melanie said.

"Why did Rai leave?" Bra asked.

"The note said that he just couldn't say here any longer. So I'm guessing that he had something to do. I promised Geta that Rai would come back." Melanie paused. "Bra…I'm so scared. I don't know how to raise a kid."

"Melanie its fine. I don't think your going to have to worry. Geta is a good boy." Bra stated.

"It's all right. I think that….I dunno Bra…."

"Melanie don't worry. Geta's happy with you. Yeah…he's upset and confused, but he has you to look after him. So he'll be fine."

"You think? Because I'm really worried about this. I don't want to screw up."

"I know what your feeling. I felt it with Mariana. I was so scared, but you just have to be careful about what you do or say. I don't think that you're going to have a problem."

"Thanks Bra…I have to put his things away. I'll talk to you later."

"Ok."

Melanie left to go upstairs to her room. She couldn't very well be herself because right now herself is wherever Rai is. She sat down on her bed and started thinking why he would have left.

"He could have left to deal with 18. That has to be it. If it is then why didn't he tell me…." Melanie whispered.

Melanie was so sure that was the reason. There couldn't possibly be another. She didn't want to even think about what Rai could be doing right now. It hurt so much to think about this.

She was sitting on her bed when her phone rang. Melanie didn't know whether to answer it or not. But decided to answer it anyway.

"Hello?" Melanie patiently said.

"Hey Melanie. It's Rai. just don't' say my name."

"Ok. Where are you?" Melanie anxiously asked. She couldn't believe that Rai was on the phone.

"I'm still here, but that's only for a couple more minutes. The time capsule had to fuel up."

"Are you going to finish something?"

"Yeah…I guess. I'm just going back to my time and then I'll be back. It might take awhile. Just tell Geta that I love him."

"I miss you. Why don't you just come back?"

"Because I can't. I love you Melanie. I just have to take care of this. If 18 is still alive I need to make sure that she can't hurt you or Geta."

"But can't you just come home? I don't care." Melanie said not caring what would happen.

"I do. This is something that I have to take care of."

"All right. I love you."'

"I love you too. Just keep Geta safe and I'll see you when I get back."

"Ok. Bye."

"I love you Melanie. Bye."

Melanie hung up the phone and just sat there thinking about what Rai had said. Melanie as sure of what to do and that meant raising Geta. Even if she had no clue on how to do it. So Melanie went downstairs to find Geta. She ended up finding him asleep on the couch.

"Hey Bra?" Melanie said as she walked to the kitchen.

"Yeah….what?"

"I'm gong to my brother's. I should be back later. Just keep an eye on Geta for me." Melanie said.

"All right. Have fun."

"Yep…I will."

Melanie said as she left the house. It took Melanie twelve minutes to get to Gohan's house. When Melanie got there, she knocked on the front door. It took as couple minutes before Gohan opened it.

"Hey Mellie. What are you doing here?" Gohan asked.

"Actually I came to talk to you."

"All right. Come on in. just don't mind the mess." Gohan said.

"I never mind." Melanie said as she walked inside and sat on the couch.

"What do you need?"

"You seem to know Rai pretty good, right?"

"Yeah…I use to…I'll try to help."

"Thanks. Ok…I'm not sure that I'm supposed to say anything, but I need to be sure of something."

"Ok….what is it?"

"Is it possible that Rai just doesn't want to be here? I mean doesn't he love me and Geta?"

"I'm pretty sure that he loves you. Mellie I'm sure that he left to go finish something. You weren't the only one to know about Geta."

"How do you know? I thought I was the only one."

"Nope….he told me and his father."

"This may be really stupid question, but does 18 know?"

"I couldn't tell you. I don't think so."

"Shouldn't she?"

"I don't think Rai trusts her."

"But she should know about Geta. Even if it wasn't her technically."

"I realize that, but Mellie its up to Rai."

Melanie tuned to look at Gohan. "Can't he realize what he's doing?"

"Mellie he's doing this for you."

"What!" Melanie exclaimed.

"Rai loves you more than anything in the world. He is doing this to protect you and Geta."

"I can take care of myself."

"That wasn't what I meant. Mellie, give him some time. This was something that Rai had to do. So don't worry."

"But I can't help it Gohan. I mean what if he doesn't want to come home, then what?"

"I dunno. All I know is that Rai loves you."

"I wish that I could have done more to convince him. I tried when he called me."

"Why did he call?"

"He had to charge the time capsule. And he said that he loved me."

"That's good. I was wondering what he thought about you."

"I kinda wondered about that too."

"Mellie, it's going to be hard. All I'm telling you is that you have to realize this. As far as I'm concerned, he is perfect for my baby sister. Don't worry. He'll come around."

"All right. Thanks Gohan."

"No problem. You should probably get going. I mean it's late."

"How late?"

"10:07 pm."

"That's not late."

"It is if you have a two year old to take care of."

"Good point. So I will go then. Thanks Gohan." Melanie said as she hugged him. "For everything."

"Don't worry about it." Gohan said as she returned the hug.

"I'm gonna go. Bye."

"Bye." Gohan said as he watched his baby sister leave. He didn't like the fact that Rai broke his sister's heart or the fact that his sister was so in love with him.

Melanie left her brother's house with a feeling of being scared. Even after talking with him, she was still scared. Melanie flew home and went inside, and immediately walked into the kitchen to find something to eat. As soon as she walked in the kitchen, she saw Geta sitting against the wall eating.

"Hey Geta. What re you doing in here?" Melanie asked.

"Is dwaddy cowming hwome?" Geta asked.

"I don't know," Melanie said as she sat next to him, "I talked to him today."

"Rewally?" Geta asked hoping that his father would come home.

"Yep, I did. He said that he loved you. He hated the fact hat he had t to leave you here."

"Why wouwldn't hwe twake me with hwim?"

"Because…I think that he would worry about more if you were with him. So your dad left you with me." Melanie said. "Geta, do you know why your dad left you with me?" Geta shook his head no. "It's because he knew that I would do everything to take care of you."

"Rweally?"

"Yeah, I do. I'm going to be honest with you Geta, I have no clue how to do this, but don't worry."

"Ok….Cwan I…."

"Where did you get the cookies?" Melanie asked as she cut him off.

"Thwe cwookies awre lweft owver fwrome Aunt Bra."

"Cool. So I take it that they are good." Geta nodded. "Ok then, I'm going to get one."

So Melanie got up and went to the counter. When she got there, she saw Geta slide down the wall and fall asleep. So Melanie forgot the cookies, picked him up, and carried Geta to her room. When she got there, she pulled the covers back and sat him in it. Melanie just stood there for a couple minutes and then pulled the door.

Melanie walked down the hall to the bathroom and heard someone crying in there. So Melanie knocked on the door.
