About half an hour after Gowasu found Cus' room empty, and in the early evening, Cus arrives out the front of Obuni's house, where Somraw was working in the garden.
"Hey Somraw" Cus said. Somraw looked up, then asked "Are you staying here for the night?" to which Cus nodded.
"Alright. Obuni and Miensi are inside" Somraw said. Cus nodded, then entered.
About half-an-hour later, Gowasu also arrived at Obuni's house, and Somraw said "Cus is inside if you're curious"
"Alright, cool. I just want to talk to her quickly" Gowasu replied, then entered.
When Gowasu entered, he saw Cus playing with Miensi. More specifically, Cus was giving Duplo blocks to Miensi for her to build stuff.
"Hey Cus" Gowasu said. Cus turned around, and asked, "Hey Gowasu, what are you doing here?"
"I just came here to check on you, and to quickly ask if you're staying here tonight?" Gowasu asked, to which Cus replied "Yes, I'm staying tonight"
"Alright, I was just checking. Good luck, and I'll come to check on you in the morning" Gowasu replied. He then gently rubbed her head, then departed.
Shortly afterward, Somraw came back into the house and asked "Are you alright, Cus?" to which Cus shook her head. Miensi said "She is very sad. She cried twice in the last hour"
"It's more than just being very sad honey, but you wouldn't understand" Somraw said, picking her daughter up. She then turned to face Obuni, who had just arrived in the lounge room and gave Miensi to him. Obuni then took Miensi to her room, while Somraw said "Now Cus, I have a feeling that part of why you're so down is because everything that happened involving you has happened while you're wearing that uniform"
"Yeah" Cus said. Somraw then said, "Then why are you still wearing it?"
"Uh, I don't have any other clothes on me, and I don't have anything on underneath my uniform" Cus replied. Somraw smiled, then said, "How about I get you some clothes to wear from my closet?"
"Alright" Cus said. She stood up, showing that she was about the same height as Somraw, and they headed for Somraw's and Obuni's room.
Once they arrived, Somraw said "Unfortunately, your slim frame means my clothes won't fit you properly"
"Alright" Cus said, and as Somraw had predicted, when Cus removed her Angel Uniform, she felt a burden lift from her. She no longer felt quite as depressed as she did when she was wearing it.
"Uh, Somraw, is it OK if I keep this?" Cus asked, to which Somraw replied "Sure Cus".
Ten minutes later, Cus was wearing a knee-length pink night gown, which Cus had generated buttons at the bottom (as none of Somraw's undergarments fit Cus) and she was lying on the couch, watching GodTube.
"Now this is intriguing. If this keeps up, I'm definitely going to be leaving my uniform behind when I travel to Universe 7" Cus thought to herself.
When she thought of Universe 7, she briefly thought about Gohan and his family. If Obuni's family had helped her recover a tiny bit from the Tournament of Power, then Gohan and his family might be able to help her recover from the events of the Tournament of Power.
And then, she thought about Piccolo. And, once again, she felt her cheeks warm up again, and this time, there was a deepish blush appearing on her cheeks. She really wanted Piccolo to hold her, to comfort her and to help her recover from the Tournament of Power. Piccolo had already done a lot for her, but there was still a very long way to go. She then continued to watch GodTube.
The following morning, Cus heard the patter, patter of small feet run up to her. She turned around and saw Miensi standing before her, the latter immediately saying, "Good morning Cus, are you OK?"
"Hello Miensi, I'm, not sure really, I'm not looking forward to returning to my job" Cus said, gently rubbing her head. Somraw then appeared near Cus and Miensi, and said "Now, now, Miensi, don't disturb Cus, she needs her sleep"
"Oh, don't worry Somraw, it's fine. And anyway, I don't need sleep, although I can put myself into stasis" Cus replied, to which Somraw replied "I never knew that"
Cus then got up and swung herself into a sitting position. She then picked up Miensi and held her gently.
"You're so adorable Miensi" Cus said, gently stroking her face. Miensi then grabbed Cus' middle finger and held it in her tiny hand.
"I remember back when I did just this with my big brothers and sisters" Cus said. Somraw then asked, "How many brothers and sisters do you have?"
"I'm the second youngest of Twenty-six, six of them are deceased, unfortunately" Cus replied.
"TWENTY-SIX?" Somraw replied, incredulous, to which Cus nodded.
"How did your parent's cope? I have enough trouble with Miensi here" Somraw asked, to which Cus replied "Well my dad never actually had to take care of 27 children or child-like beings, I think the most father had to take care of was 13"
"Still" Somraw said as Cus continued to gently stroke Miensi. After a bit, Miensi wanted to be let down, and Cus obliged. She then walked over to her Duplo, picked up a pink block, walked back, and put it on Cus' lap.
"Yes, this block is the same color as my gown" Cus said, smiling. Obuni then entered the room, and said "Miensi's got to get ready for Child Care, alright Cus? Also, Gowasu's waiting outside"
"Alright" Cus said, then she stood up and headed back to Somraw's room, dreading having to switch back into the Attendant Uniform.
While she was getting changed, Somraw knocked on the door, then said "Keep the nightgown Cus"
"Alright. Thanks, Somraw" Cus replied. After she had gotten changed, she trudged out, with the gown over her arm. She met with Gowasu, and he asked, "Is this Somraw's gown?"
"And it's now mine. She gave it to me" Cus replied. Gowasu then said, "We had better get going then, alright?"
"Fine, I guess" Cus said. She felt miserable around Gowasu and having switched to the gown had helped her a bit. When she had to return to wearing the uniform, she found herself hating having to wear it, mainly because, as Somraw said, everything that had happened to and around her had happened while she was wearing the uniform.
When they arrive back on the world of the kais, Cus and Gowasu find Rummshi waiting for them.
"Rummshi, what are you doing here?" Gowasu asked, to which Rummshi replied: "I'm here to ask when we're going to do a whip around, to check on all of the fighters of Universe 10?"
"Oh great, something to make me even more miserable. Seeing how badly the fighters of Universe 10 are going" Cus said. Rummshi put a hand on Cus' shoulder, then said "Don't worry, we'll find something"
"I'm going to be taking her to the kaiatrist the next time I go, see if he'll be able to help her at all" Gowasu replied, putting a hand on Cus' other hand. Cus then said "Well, at least Obuni seems to be doing OK, but I reckon the others won't. And anyway, why is it that you two have only talked to each other a few times in the two-and-a-half weeks since the Tournament of Power? You two talked all the time"
"I'll tell you once we're headed for the Kaiatrist" Gowasu said, while Rummshi said "Once you're done at the kaiatrist, and I'm done with my psychiatrist, I'll tell you myself"
"Fine" Cus said. She then headed back to her room and put the gown on a clothes hanger. Rummshi then headed back to the World of Destroyers, waiting for his psychiatrist.
Gowasu kept a very close eye on Cus over the next several days, and finally, on day 16, Gowasu said "Cus, I would like for you to come with me to see the Kaiatrist"
"Uh, OK" Cus said, puzzled. She stood up, and they headed towards the Kai University, where the Kaiatrist was.
Meanwhile, Piccolo arrived at the Satan's house.
"Uncle Piccolo" Pan said, pointing to Piccolo as he arrived. Videl walked up to Piccolo, and asked "Piccolo, this is a surprise. Why are you here?"
"I'm here to talk to Gohan" Piccolo replied. Videl then entered the house, with Piccolo following, and Videl said "Gohan, Piccolo's here to talk to you about something"
"Send him to the lounge room, I'll be there soon" Gohan called back. Soon, the three of them entered the lounge room. After a couple of minutes, Gohan entered the room.
"I want to ask you about something" Piccolo said. Gohan smiled, then replied, "Cus, right?"
"Yeah. She's been occupying my mind since the Tournament of Power" Piccolo replied. Gohan smiled, then said "You're worried about her, and that's perfectly understandable. I'm worried as well. That's why we're going with you and Whis to see her". Gohan then leaned in slightly towards Piccolo, then said "Goku wants to go as well, I think there's more than a few of us who want what's best for her"
"Really? Well I think Cus can give everyone who helped save her life a proper thanks" Piccolo said. He then saw that Videl had departed, and said, almost at a whisper, "I can't tell how much Videl was joking, and how much she was serious, when she suggested that I should hook up with Cus"
"Well" Gohan said, He then looked around, then said to Piccolo "Well, it does seem that Cus has a bit of a crush on you. And Videl did tell me that you blushed furiously when she suggested that you would have yourself a beautiful partner" Gohan replied. Piccolo looked out of the window, then said "Maybe".
"By the way Piccolo, I found out something from Whis, mainly, about Cus' personality before the Tournament of Power" Gohan said after a few moments. Piccolo turned back to face Gohan, then said "Oh?". Gohan then said "Yeah. Apparently, Cus is the closest in personality to me when I was younger" Gohan said. Piccolo, surprised, said "Really?"
"Yeah. That's probably why Videl thinks that once she's recovered, you and Cus would make a beautiful couple" Gohan replied. Piccolo nodded, although, now, he still didn't have any romantic feelings for Cus. Right now, he was just very worried about her, and he wanted to make sure that she was OK, and that she got the treatment she needs. But, then again, that was now two people who thought him and Cus would make a beautiful couple. Could there be truth to it? And, honestly, if it was true that, before the events of the Tournament of Power destroyed her, Cus was similar in personality to a younger version of Gohan.
After keeping an eye on Pan for the night, Piccolo headed back to Dende's lookout. When he arrived, he made a resolution to find out when Whis was going to Universe 10 the next time Whis would arrive.
