For Cus, the slow march to recovery from the deep trauma of the Tournament of Power had begun. Towards the end of the 3rd week since Cus had arrived in Universe 7, she finds herself sitting in Bulma's sitting room, waiting for the Universe 6 Saiyans. All 4 of them, as Renso had arrived the day previously.
When the Saiyans arrived, Renso, complete with his fixed leg thanks to a Senzu Bean, walked up and hugged Cus.
"Renso" Cus said, and Renso said, "I heard what had happened to you during the Tournament of Power". Cus nodded, and they broke apart.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Cus asked, to which Caulifla replied "Well, we are two people who had near-death experiences"
"And how did that experience feel?" Renso asked, to which Cus replied "Kinda strange since my near-death experience was self-inflicted. Doesn't mean the trauma associated with the events of the Tournament of Power doesn't help"
"Right" Renso said. He then turned to face Caulifla, and asked: "How about you?"
"Horrifying. When you can't move, and you can feel nothing but pain, in the middle of a warzone, and one of your teammates is not doing something to revive you, and the other has lost his mind and could easily kill you because he's got no control over yourself, it's no wonder it was as scary as it was"
"That sounded terrifying. Of course, the terror I felt hearing that would have been nothing compared to the terror you felt" Cus replied, to which Caulifla nodded. Kale then said "Sorry I took so long to revive you. My mind was overloaded, and I couldn't think straight". Caulifla looked at Kale and saw that both she and Cabba seemed a bit ashamed.
"Kale, I understand. You did save me, so I'm happy about that" Caulifla said, before kissing Kale. Caulifla then leaned over to Cabba and said "And I understand why you lost control like that. I heard about Champa and Fuwa yelling at everyone"
"That's what caused me to lose it. Champa's and Fuwa's yells, and Kale's screams. Just seeing what happened to you was enough to send me to SSJ2. It was everything else that pushed me to Out of Control Quake of Fury" Cabba replied. Caulifla nodded, and Cabba said "I'm sorry that this caused you so many issues"
"Don't be Cabba" Caulifla said, then she kissed him.
"You three are so cute together. How do you feel about this, Renso?" Cus asked, to which the Saiyans replied "Thanks Cus. You and Piccolo look really cute together too" which caused Cus to blush furiously. Renso, though, said "I'm fine with it"
"OK" Cus replied. They continued to talk for about ten minutes before they finished, then they split up.
Over the next four months, Cus and Caulifla supported each other, mostly by talking. They talked about a few topics, mainly about the high expectations they feel due to their family, and the pain of the Tournament of Power. Cus also rapidly jumped behind and in front of her in order to try and help Caulifla get used to people jumping behind her. Eventually, Caulifla recovered fully, but she continued to support Cus.
About four weeks into her time at Universe 7, she thought of something, and she knew exactly who could help her with this.
"Piccolo, I have a request" Cus said. Piccolo nodded, then asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Well, I've been spending most of my time still in the adult mindset. I'm ten in Angel years, and I want to spend a day as a ten-year-old" Cus said.
"Well, Marron's ten years old. If you want to spend some time with her, as well as the children of Android 17, I'll get in contact with Carnelia and organize a playdate" Piccolo replied. Cus smiled, then said "Thanks" before hugging him.
Two days later, Cus and Piccolo meet up with Gowasu, for another tea therapy.
When they arrive, Gowasu was ready. He then said "Alright. Piccolo, could you please go and get the tea for us?" to which Piccolo replied "Alright" and departed.
After a few minutes, Piccolo returns with the tea tray.
"Alright. Now Cus, pour tea for me. Piccolo, you pour Cus her tea" Gowasu said. Cus stood up, then poured the tea.
Gowasu had kept the second teacup, and, when he compared it to the tea Cus had poured, the new tea was a marginally lighter shade of dark blue. Also, the tint of pink that was present in the tea before was now obvious.
"Interesting" Gowasu said as he noticed that Cus was deeply blushing. When Piccolo poured the tea, the tea remained neutral, except for a very slight pink tint.
"Very interesting" Gowasu said, looking at both of them and their tea. Gowasu nodded, then gently hugged Cus, and said "Good to see you're recovering, it was a very good idea to bring you to Universe 7"
"Thanks, Gowasu" Cus said. Gowasu then stood up and departed with the tea.
On day 32, Piccolo and Cus headed to Android 17's house. Piccolo knocked on the door, and it was answered by Yamcha.
"Hey Piccolo, hey Cus" Yamcha said, and he immediately hugged Cus.
"Yamcha" Cus said, and Yamcha said, "How are you Cus?"
"Not great, but slowly recovering" Cus replied. Tien and Chiaotzu then appeared in the door, saying "Cus?"
"Yes, hello" Cus said, and, once again, found both Chiaotzu and Tien hugging her, taking it in turns of course.
"Thanks" Cus said. Tien then asked, "Why are you here?"
"Cus wants to spend a day being a 10-year-old, and she wants to play with Marron, and the kids of Android 17, who are apparently all-around Marron's age" Piccolo replied.
"Why does she want to spend a day being a 10-year-old?" Tien asked, to which Cus replied "Because, although I'm 750 million years old. And one Angel year is 75 million of your human years. Divide 750 by 75, and you get 10. I'm 10 Angel years old" Cus replied.
"How are you so young, and yet you were working for Universe 10?" Yamcha asked, shocked. Cus replied "I was 8 Angel years when I took on the job, but, at least in some ways, we do mature very quickly, relatively speaking"
"Yikes" Carnelia said, who had just arrived in the passageway. Cus then asked "Where's Marron, and your children? And what are your children's names?"
"Kyle is the oldest, he's 14, so I don't think he'd be interested in playing with you. Jasper's 11, he's playing with Marron right now. Anna's the youngest, she's 8, she might pot in and out. Jasper and Marron are currently out the back"
"OK, thanks Carnelia" Cus said, and she headed out the back. Carnelia then turned back, and said: "Do you to come in and have some water?" Carnelia asked, to which Piccolo nodded.
Soon, Cus arrived out the back of the house, where Jasper and Marron were chasing each other around the backyard.
"Oh, hello. Who are you?" Jasper said as soon as he saw Cus.
"I'm Cus" Cus said, holding out her hand. Jasper was nervous, but Marron shook her hand, and said "I'm Marron, and this is Jasper"
"Hey Marron, and hey Jasper" Cus replied. Suddenly, Marron asked, "Can you please pick me up so I can hug you?"
"Uh, sure" Cus replied. Once they'd embraced and broken apart, Jasper realized who Cus was, and immediately hugged her.
"I've just realized who you are, and I'm just glad to see you" Jasper said. Once they broke apart, he said "Wow, you're very cute"
"Uh, thanks" Cus replied.
"We'd just started chasing each other around the yard, but, now that we have someone who can fly, we'd love for you to take us to the playground on the mainland" Marron said. Carnelia then appeared, and said "We can take you to the playground if you want"
"Alright" everyone said, and they got into the car and departed, leaving Anna and Kyle to be kept an eye on by Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu.
About fifteen minutes later, Cus, Marron, and Jasper are playing on the playground. Cus loved being a kid again, for the first time in 200 million years. She loved chasing Marron and Jasper, and, because of her small size, Marron was easily caught.
"I'll capture Jasper for you if you want" Cus said, holding her hand out for Marron to tag. She did, and Cus raced off after Jasper.
Cus made it fairly easy for both Marron and Jasper to tag her, and they enjoyed themselves until lunchtime.
"So, what are we doing for lunch?" Marron asked, to which Carnelia replied "Well there's a Yiros store nearby, that you can eat at"
"Oooooh, Yiros? Never heard of that. Sounds yummy" Cus said, surprising everybody. The five of them then headed for the Yiros store.
"I'm going to have everything on my Yiros" Cus said, and she ordered everything. It was amazing, a flavor explosion every time she bit into it.
"Wow, the taste here is incredible, I've never tasted anything like it. I so should get Whis to try this" Cus said.
"Let's give it about half-an-hour after we've finished eating, then we can start playing on the playground again" Jasper replied.
After another four hours at the playground, Marron and Jasper were very tired. Cus, however, was exhilarated.
"Thanks, you all, I'm so glad you let this happen. I'm so glad that, even for one day, I could be a kid again" Cus said. Carnelia replied "I'm glad that you had so much fun. Jasper and Marron sure did"
"I'm just glad to see Cus smiling" Piccolo said. Cus smiled, then Piccolo said "We'll see you soon, it's almost time to revive Android 17 and Android 18"
"Yes, we will" Carnelia said, and she, once again, hugged Cus. Piccolo and Cus then departed.
That night, Cus was babysitting Bulla, who had already hugged her as soon as she arrived Trunks, who also watched over his baby brother, and Goten, who was having a sleepover with Trunks, had both embraced her when they saw her enter the Lounge Room
At 9 pm, when Vegeta returned home and saw Cus, he took Bulla, then, with Bulla in one arm, he hugged Cus with the other.
"What has gotten into you, Vegeta?" Bulma asked, smiling. Vegeta replied "The Tournament of Power happened, that's why"
"Alright" Bulma replied. Then, Bulma's parents arrived. Both knowing what had happened to Cus, they walked up and took it in turns to hug her. Afterward, Cus smiled, said "Thanks, to all of you" then returned to Kami Lookout, where, while Piccolo was asleep, Cus continued to binge-watch Let's Play,
While she does watch Let's Play, Piccolo turned around, then wrapped an arm around her.
"Piccolo" Cus said, blushing very heavily. She noticed Piccolo was blushing a lot, as well.
Since the resurrection of Android 17 and Android 18 will happen next to Kami House, Cus knew that she would be encountering a lot of people there. When she arrived, together with Piccolo, they find the High Kai, along with Baija, Ganos, Caway, Shin, Old Kai and everybody who's on Earth at the time.
"Hey Cus" Baija said, and her, Ganos and Caway all took it in turns to hug her, all of which she returned.
Over the next ten minutes, Cus was also hugged by Krillin, Shin, Master Roshi, and Chi Chi.
"Thanks for playing with Marron the other day Cus, she really enjoyed it, and so did Jasper" Krillin said, to which Cus replied "No problem"
"Alright, are we going to do it?" Whis asked, to which everyone nodded.
The Dragon Balls glowed, and Master Roshi said "NOW! DRAGON ARISE!" the sky went dark, lightning crackled, then, there was a massive surge of energy shooting out of the Dragon Balls, and Shenron appeared.
"Why have you summoned me? Make your wish now!" Shenron said.
"I wish for Android 17 and Android 18 to be brought back to life" Master Roshi said. Shenron replied "So be it. Your wish has been granted" and at this, his eyes glowed, and both Android 17 and Android 18 were revived, to the extremely emotional responses of everybody, but especially their families, and Cus.
While everybody was hugging Android 17 and Android 18, Shenron departed, and the Dragon Balls have shot across the world again, turned back to stone.
Android 17 and Android 18, after hugging their family, just wanted to embrace one person. Searching their gaze, they found Cus. Walking up to her, they took it in turns to hug her.
"Android 17! Android 18!" Cus said, overwhelmed by emotion,
"It's good to see you here Cus" Android 18 said. Android 17 added, "You been keeping an eye on our families?"
"Yes, I have. I've even played with Marron and Jasper" Cus replied, making Android 17 smile.
Eventually, all of them dispersed, and Cus and Piccolo returned to Kami Lookout. Cus continued watching the Let's Plays on Youtube, while Piccolo kept his arm wrapped around her.
