Bra walked through the halls towards the exit, pulling out her cell phone as she walked. As soon as she was out the door, she turned it on and immediately called Trunks. A monotone voice answered.
"Hello, this is Trunks Briefs, the President of Capsule Corporation, how may I help you?" Trunks said, sounding bored to death at work. Bra giggled.
"Trunks, it's me," Bra said, "Scatter's awake."
"Oh yeah? That's great! I'll call everyone else and be over there soon!" Trunks replied. Bra gave an okay and clicked the end button, putting her phone back in her bag. She found a bench near the exit and decided to take a rest.
Scatter seems very different, Bra thought, looking up to the windows of the hospital, trying to pinpoint Scatter's. He wasn't mean or apathetic towards me at all. In fact, he was being downright nice. Maybe this will be a good thing!
Bra smiled to herself before hearing a gurgle from her stomach.
I guess watching Scatter all day has gotten me a little hungry! Bra thought, I'll go get some food and sneak some in for Scatter. I'm sure he's hungry, too.
And with that, Bra was off to the closest fast food place, since everyone knows hospital food is absolutely disgusting.
The rest of the gang walked into the hospital room to find Bra and Scatter chatting and eating burgers. Both were laughing while Bra tried to explain to Scatter who he was. Trunks quirked an eyebrow at the two.
"Well, this is something," he said, "Scatter and Bra getting along. What the hell's going on?" Bulma quickly hushed him and Scatter took notice of the people in the room.
"Oh, hi!" he greeted cheerfully, "My name is Scatter. What are all of your names?" Chi Chi and Goku looked at Scatter like he was insane. Trunks just looked at his mom for an explanation.
"Amnesia, it seems," Bulma said and Trunks groaned.
"Greaaaat. Now we're going to sit around and explain who he is," Trunks complained, gripping the bridge of his nose between his fingers.
"No, not really," Scatter said, smiling, "Bra here already explained a lot, but I still don't remember it. The only things I do remember is that I can fly and use ki, as well as fight." Chi Chi started crying.
"Oh my baby!!" she bawled, causing Scatter to look around for the source of her anguish.
"What did I do?!" Scatter shouted as Chi Chi jumped on him, suffocating him with a hug, "Hey old lady! Get off of me! My head hurts!"
"OLD LADY?!" Chi Chi yelled, "THAT'S NO WAY TO TALK TO ME, SCATTER!" Scatter faulted.
"Oh, so this is my surrogate mom, huh," Scatter said, turning to Bra, "You described her as nice. Psh." Scatter received a punch in the arm.
"That's it, young man!" Chi Chi bellowed, "You're grounded!!" And with a huff, she was out of the room. Everyone just looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Goku came over to the foot of the bed, put his elbows over the rail and hung from it. Trunks being his usual self started laughing and walked over to Scatter.
"Mama's boy," he chuckled, "Well, Scatter, since you have amnesia, I'm your best friend Trunks. I'm Bra's older brother. This is my mom, Bulma, who is like your second mom, and that guy over there who looks like a kid is your surrogate dad, Goku. Got everything?" Scatter looked dumbfounded at Trunks.
"I'm hungry…" he murmered, "Bra are there anymore burgers left?" Bra laughed and handed Scatter another one out of the bag.
"Scatter!" Trunks snapped, "Pay attention!" Scatter started mumbling with his mouth full of food, to which no one could understand him.
This was going to be a long day.
Scatter was released from the hospital that day, since the doctor could find nothing else wrong with him other than the amnesia and huge bump on his head. Scatter merrily walked out of the hospital, Trunks and Bra in tow.
"So, where are we going now?" Scatter asked cheerfully, "Any ideas Trunks?"
"I dunno, Scatter, "He replied, "How about we have a spar to see if that helps?" Scatter looked at Trunks excitedly.
"Wooo! A spar! YEAH!" Scatter exclaimed, jumping around. He jumped onto Trunks back. "Where are we gonna have it?!" Trunks shook Scatter off of him and turned to Bra, who was giggling.
"I dunno if I can take this," Trunks complained, and soon turned back to Scatter, "Hey! We're going to my house to spar! Maybe my Dad will knock some sense into you!" And with that, Trunks and Bra rose into the air, followed by a quite giddy Scatter.
The spar did absolutely nothing for Scatter's memory, albeit it was a good workout. Bra had just watched (like usual) while Scatter and Trunks duked it out. Afterwards, Bra brought them out some cold drinks.
"Here you go, boys," she said, handing Trunks and Scatter their glasses of lemonade.
"Thanks sis," Trunks said.
"Yeah thanks beautiful!" Scatter said, grinning down at Bra. She blushed.
"Dude, that's my sister!" Trunks said, pointing an accusing finger at Scatter. Scatter just turned to Trunks.
"What's wrong with complimenting, Trunks?" Scatter asked. Trunks just decided to forget about it.
They all flopped down onto the grass, sipping away.
Bra took a sip of her drink and tried to sneak a peak at Scatter. When she looked, she found Scatter already staring at her. She snapped back to looking straight ahead, pretending she wasn't looking. The blush gave it away though.
"Are you my girlfriend?" Scatter asked out of no where. Both Bra and Trunks spit out the lemonade they were drinking.
"WHAT?!" Trunks asked. Scatter just looked at him oddly. Bra debated in her head what she should do.
I could tell him I am his girlfriend she thought, but that wouldn't be right. Oh wow, I never thought I'd be in this position!
"No, Scatter," Bra said, "I'm not your girlfriend." Her eyes sank towards the ground.
"Darn," Scatter said, snapping his fingers, "Can't blame a man for wishing though!" He grinned like a Cheshire cat, putting his hands behind his head and flopping down.
"Oh Christ," Trunks said, slapping himself in the forehead, "This is going to be too much."
Bra could do nothing but blush.
Night came fast, and both Goku and Chi Chi felt it would probably be best if Scatter stayed at the Briefs' house, since he spent most of his time there anyway. It would be the best chance of a memory regain.
Bra sat lazily on the couch, flipping channels until she'd find something entertaining. Trunks and Scatter were off somewhere, probably getting into trouble.
This new personality of his is… something else, Bra thought, I never actually thought he'd say things like that to me. But would it be right to try to go with it?
Bra noticed what movie she just landed on. It was a sappy romantic comedy.
Eh, what the hell. Haven't watched one of these in a while.
And right when it was about to get to the good part….
"BANZAAAAAI!!!!" Scatter screamed as he jumped onto the couch, scaring the daylights out of poor Bra. Scatter rolled on the couch with laughter.
"Scatter, you punk!" Bra screamed, hitting him in the arm, "You scared the hell out of me!" Scatter just chuckled.
"Sorry, sorry," he said, "you just looked like you needed some cheering up! Whatcha watching?" Bra looked at the TV.
"Oh, just some girly movie," she replied, "You probably wouldn't like it." Bra was surprised by Scatter stretching out, resting his head in her lap and looking towards the screen.
"Well, I'll never know if I don't watch it!" Scatter replied, turning his head up to Bra, "Besides, I don't feel like moving now. I'm quite comfortable!" Bra blushed and giggled.
"Hey Scatter," Bra questioned, "Did you really mean what you said today? About wishing that I was your girlfriend? Why did you say that?" Scatter didn't take his eyes off the TV.
"Well, I'm just taking a guess here," Scatter said, "But it was almost as if I'm trying to make up my memories. I think it'd be a lot better. Besides…" Scatter turned his head, bringing one arm up to Bra's face to brush a hair out of the way, "who wouldn't want a beautiful, wonderful girl like you?" Bra blushed. Silence was all that was spoken as Bra blushed more and Scatter fell asleep.
