Chapter 15: Truth, Lies and Confrontation...
Everyone stood there…in shock as Trunks transformed into a Super Saiyjin.
"See I told you he could do it!" Reilena said proudly.
"Wow, you learn something new everyday…" Goku said with a slight laugh.
What…since when has the legendary status of Super Saiyjin been reduced to a child's play thing? Vegeta thought to himself in shock.
"Wow…no way Trunk's…a Super Saiyjin…" Gohan said as he looked at Future Trunks.
"What…don't look at me I didn't know I couldn't transform until I was 14." He said still looking at his present self.
"Boy how long have you been able to transform?" Vegeta demanded.
"Well uh…you see…" Trunks began.
"Just spit it out how long have you been able to transform into a Super Saiyjin?!?" Vegeta said getting annoyed.
"Two years…" Trunks said hesitantly.
What, since he was six years old? How could I have missed this…how can HE be a Super Saiyjin at his age…well…he is MY son… Vegeta thought with a smirk.
Wow…six...amazing…Future Trunks thought to himself still in shock.
"Rei, you knew about this the whole time?" Gohan asked her.
"Well yeah…kind of…yeah…you see, Trunks wanted me to keep it a secret because he didn't want his dad to get upset because he was trying so hard to become a Super Saiyjin…" Reilena said looking down.
"Rei!! Geese do you ever know when to shut up?!?" Trunks said getting angry at her for revealing more.
"Trunks is that true?" Vegeta said crossing his arms.
Trunks slowly nodded his head in response.
"Well boy you should have told me, maybe I would have been able to obtain it faster." Vegeta said with a smirk.
"So dad…uh does that mean I can go in the chamber with you?" Trunks asked him.
Vegeta turned to his young son "no, you will only be a distraction for me. I can't train to ascend to the next level with you running around."
"Awe come on Vegeta I highly doubt that he will be any…" Goku began but Vegeta cut him off.
"Shut up Kakarotto and mind your own business! He is not yours to be concerned with…and I said no and that is that!" Vegeta said as he walked towards the door to the chamber.
"Yes, besides the room can only hold 2 people at a time." Mr. Popo chimed in.
"Oh yeah that's right I forgot…sorry Trunks I tried." Goku said looking at the boy.
Trunks detransformed out of Super Saiyjin and sighed in defeat.
"Well Vegeta, Trunks you better get going…we don't have much time to train and the sooner you two go in the sooner dad and I can train and the sooner we can try and defeat Cell and the androids." Gohan said to them.
"Right Gohan the more time we waste the more destruction and innocent people they will kill in the meantime." Future Trunks said as he joined his father.
"Well good luck guys train hard!" Goku said waving at them.
Vegeta just snorted and walked into the chamber.
"Bye, thanks Goku I will!" Future Trunks said as he joined his father.
"Now then, Trunks I am certainly impressed with the fact that you can turn Super Saiyjin…at your age! It took Gohan and me years before we could master it." Goku said turning to the young demi-saiyjins.
"Thank you sir…" Trunks said looking down with a sigh.
Goku looked at the boy and gave a slight smile "awe Trunks I am sure he isn't mad at you or anything…Vegeta just has a lot on his mind right now…I am sure he is proud of the fact that you can transform! Just give him a little while longer."
"Yeah and if you think that your dad is treating the future you different than you well don't worry because he isn't…trust me I know from observation…" Gohan said trying to make him feel better.
"Ok…" Trunks said trailing off.
"Hold on now that I think of it…Rei, you spar with Trunks all the time…don't tell me that you are able to keep up with him…" Gohan said looking at his little sister.
"What kid of question is that of course I can Gohan otherwise I wouldn't be sparing with him!" Reilena said to her brother rolling her eyes at his comment.
"What no way you can keep up with him…even as a Super Saiyjin?" Gohan said in disbelief.
Reilena nodded her head and gave him a smirk "of course…why wouldn't I be able to?"
"Well it's just you know you are only eight and…" Gohan began but Reilena cut him off.
"Just because I am eight doesn't mean anything and don't try to cover it up I know you were going to say because I am just a girl! Well guess what Gohan I am not just a girl!" Reilena said getting angry.
"Rei I didn't say…" Gohan began but was interrupted by his father.
Man she can be just like mom sometimes geese. Gohan thought to himself.
"Hey Trunks, do me a favor ok…I know that when you powered up last time you were holding back some…how about you do it again but this time I don't want you to hold back ok? Reilena I want you to do the same thing." Goku said to them.
"Ok dad but why?" Reilena asked him confused.
"Well I just want to see how far you two have advanced!" Goku said with a smile.
Reilena and Trunks looked at each other and nodded and began to power up. With in a minuet the two were at their full power shocking not only Goku and Gohan but Mr. Popo as well.
"Wow, I can't believe those two…I haven't felt power like that coming from children since Gohan defeated Garlic Junior eleven years ago." Mr. Popo said in shock.
"Wow look at those two…if I'm not careful they might actually surpass me in strength someday." Gohan said in amazement.
Goku gave the two a smile "Ok I think that's good you two!"
Reilena and Trunks powered down and walked towards the group.
"Was that ok Goku sir?" Trunks asked him.
"Yes that was excellent. I can't believe I didn't notice you two were this strong before." Goku said to them.
"Well honestly dad, you spent most of your training time with Gohan training for the androids…" Reilena said looking down.
"Awe geese I guess you are right I am sorry you guys that I didn't take notice before otherwise I would have took some time out to train you more in-depth." Goku said apologizing for his negligence.
"Its ok sir, Rei and I learned a lot from watching you guys and Piccolo train all the time." Trunks said to him.
"Yeah daddy, I taught Trunks how to control his Super Saiyjin technique by watching you and Gohan transform!" Reilena said proudly.
"What, really no way how can you do that you can't even transform so how could you have taught Trunk's how to control his transformation?" Gohan said surprised.
"Well first off Gohan I'm a kid not an idiot and second I observed the way you and dad acted every time you transformed and followed your energy levels, that's how I was able to help Trunks." She said mater-of-factly.
"Wow, you kids really are advanced…hey I know how about I train you two for the day while Vegeta and the Trunks from the future are in the hyperbolic time chamber training?" Goku suggested.
"Really dad…but you already train us sometimes." Reilena said to him.
"Yeah but now I know what you guys can really do so I think I will step it up to the next level how does that sound?" Goku said with a smile.
"Really awesome!" Trunks and Reilena said excitedly.
"Alright well come on guys let's go over here so we don't blow anything up and make Mr. Popo upset." Goku said as the three ran over to a spot on the lookout that was more open.
"I think I better go watch this…" Gohan said following them, still processing everything he has just seen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow I can't believe it…we are surrounded by nothing…nothing at all…this is insane!" Future Trunks said as he and Vegeta inspected the chamber.
Vegeta looked at him and smirked "what's the matter boy…is this too much for you to handle?"
Future Trunks turned to his father with an angry look on his face "No…it's just a little overwhelming…this is nothing compared to what I have to deal with back home…"
"Oh with those pesky little androids please…I don't know why you are worried about those hunks of junk…." Vegeta said as he stretched.
"Don't say that you don't know how they work you only faced one of them and what you experienced is NOTHING compared to what they are capable of. Father don't you see they have taken away everything, destroyed everything…killed almost everyone there is barely a human race left on Earth!" Future Trunks said now getting angry.
"Ooo looks like I hit a nerve…what does it matter why do I care if the human race gets obliterated? All I care about it getting strong enough so I can defeat them and Cell and then kill Kakarotto, that's it and you nor any one else will get in my way you got that kid?!?" Vegeta said now yelling at him.
How can he be so cold? He cares I know he cares…how can he say those things…that's it... Future Trunks thought to himself.
"You have no idea…you have no idea what I have to deal with in the future...you DIED because of your selfish pride in my time. Mother begged you not go but you went anyways…and Gohan told me that you knew that the androids were toying with you that they were too strong to handle on your own but you couldn't get over your damn pride to admit it and let yourself be killed! You know they almost killed mother a few years ago…she was working in her lab when the androids attacked Capsule Corp…luckily I got home just in time to pull her from the rubble and get her medical attention…" Future Trunks said now furious.
Vegeta just stood there with a cold stare and said nothing to him.
"You have no idea how good you have it here…mother would be so hurt if I told her the way you were acting right now…" Future Trunks said looking down.
"What the hell do I care about the woman anyways…she is of no concern to me…and neither is the boy…they just get in the way…silly emotions are just a distraction from my training now get the hell out of my way!" Vegeta said furious as he stormed pasted Future Trunks and out into where the training void was.
"You know what fine you train for your stupid selfish reasons and I will train for what I know is right…but father just think about one thing…when this is all over who will be waiting for you? Because no matter how selfish you can be mother and I have always been behind you one hundred percent. Don't prove us wrong…" Future Trunks said as he watched his father storm off.
Vegeta stopped himself and grunted…knowing very well that his future son was right.
"Stupid woman…stupid son….stupid planet…" Vegeta grumbled as he powered up to Super Saiyjin and began his training.
Father, I will not let you see that I am afraid of what is to come in the next year, I WILL prove myself to you…weather you like it or not…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If we can't sense Cell than where is he? He is hiding right?" Yamcha asked as they flew towards South City.
"Yep that's what he does…and the world is a big place to hide in…" Krillin said folding his arms.
"So what, we will just get out there and find him…no matter what it takes we absolutely can not let him absorb android 17 and 18!" Piccolo said frustrated.
"Piccolo is right if we don't then Cell will completely take over the planet!" Tien chimed in.
"Listen, at this point all we can do is try and keep Cell from absorbing the androids and wait for Goku, Gohan, Trunks and Vegeta to complete their training and transform into ascended Saiyjins. Only then are we able to truly defeat these things." Piccolo said to them.
"Right…maybe we should head on back to the Kame house take a nap and watch the news to try and see where Cell is going to attack again because by now I am sure he is long gone." Krillin said to them.
"Yeah bro you're right by now he could have devoured another city." Yamcha said in agreement.
"Fine, we go back to the island to rest and wait…but as soon as Cell attacks once again we move got it!" Piccolo said to them.
"Right!" they all said as Yamcha made a u turn and started to head back to Master Roshi's.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Videl landed on the lawn of the Capsule Corporation and approached the main entrance.
"Excuse me miss can I help you?" the lady at the front desk said.
"Uh yeah I was wondering if I could see Ms. Bulma Briefs." Videl said to the woman.
"Ms. Briefs is busy working on a project with her father right now I don't think she can see any visitors." The woman said as she went back to her work.
"Listen lady I am a friend of hers can't you just page her and tell her that Videl Sat…err that Videl is here to speak to her!" she said now getting in the woman's face.
Good call Videl don't let her on to the fact that you are Mr. Satan's daughter…spare yourself the agony.
"Yes miss just one moment…" the woman said to her nervously as she got on the phone.
"Uh hi yes Ms. Briefs you have a visitor downstairs she said that she is a friend of yours uh I believe her name is Videl…send her up…alright I will." The woman said as she hung up the phone.
"That's what I thought…" Videl said with a smirk.
"Yes…anyways Ms. Briefs and her father are in lab 3 which is down this hallway and on your right…" the woman said giving Videl a cold stare.
"Yeah, yeah thanks I am sure I can find it." Videl said as she walked past the desk and down the hallway.
Geese this place sure is big…she thought as she walked down the hallway.
"Ha there we go I finished it! One android remote sealed and ready for action!" Bulma said jumping out of her seat as the lab door opened.
"Uh hey Bulma sorry this is kind of short notice…" Videl said as she entered the through.
"Hey Videl no problem I just finished making this android remote!" Bulma said as she pointed to the small box on the counter.
"Android…remote…" Videl said confused.
"Ah Bulma dear who is your friend? I've never seen her before…" Dr. Briefs said drinking his coffee.
"This is Videl dad, Gohan's friend from school she's the one who got me back home after the androids attacked remember?" Bulma said matter-of-factly.
"Ah yes so this is the girl? So you're friends with Gohan eh he's such a nice boy and smart too he would make a good employee here someday…" Dr. Briefs said rambling on.
"Uh yeah…so what's an android remote?" Videl said still confused as to what was going on.
"Ah, it's my latest creation. See this little baby will stop the androids right in their tracks by pressing this little red button thing and thus saving the world! Ha, those guys always think that fighting is the answer to solving everything well let me tell you brains can go just as far too!" Bulma said proudly.
"Wow so this thing can really stop the androids?" Videl said curious.
"Yup, well at least in theory, but I don't see why this thing can't work out in the field!" Bulma said.
"Right, so you can just press it from anywhere and bam no more androids?" Videl asked.
"Well not exactly you see the person who is in possession of the control will have to be with in a few feet of the androids for it work." Dr. Briefs said as he played with his kitty.
"WHAT wouldn't you think that by then they would know what is going on?" Videl said in shock.
"Well I guess we can only hope they don't pick up on it! Now I need to be off to Master Roshi's to drop this baby off to the guys because I am not going anywhere near those things! You know Videl if you want you can come with." Bulma said as she grabbed her coat.
"Really yeah definitely I was just on my way there now…well after I stopped here that is." Videl said to her.
"Ok well let's get going we have no time to waste so we are going to have to call the guys from the phone in the airship. Who knows when those things are going to find Goku! Bye dad see you in a bit!" Bulma said as she grabbed Videl's hand and led her out the door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Guys wake up we have company!" Piccolo yelled at the other Z fighters who were sleeping in the living room of the Kami house.
"What, Piccolo are you nuts we are trying to sleep here tell them to come back later." Krillin said pulling his covers over his eyes.
"Not those kids of visitors the androids are here now get up!" Piccolo yelled as he grabbed Krillin and yanked him out of bed.
"What androids no way!" Yamcha said as he and Tien got up and walked out side with Piccolo and Krillin.
"Hi there, can Goku come out and play?" 17 said with a smirk.
"Great, this is just what I wanted for breakfast." Piccolo said looking at them in horror.
"Goku is not here; my senses tell me that he is very far away." 16 said looking around.
"Not here, what do you mean not here?" 18 said in frustration.
"Goku isn't here but maybe I can take his place." Piccolo said with a smirk.
"What no way Piccolo you can't take him on your own!" Krillin said looking at him.
"Krillin stay out of this and let me take care of everything." Piccolo said stepping forward.
"No that won't be necessary we just want Goku. But I will tell you what green man I will cut you a deal; I won't kill you and your friends if you tell us where Goku is." 17 said to him.
"Yeah right like I am going to tell you that, Goku is gone now so you will have to take up your little issues with me. There, that little island you and me." Piccolo said to him.
"Fine, if you insist." 17 said to him.
Piccolo quickly turned to face the others "now I want you guys to stay out of this you hear me this is my fight." He said as he and the androids flew off.
Piccolo and the androids landed on the island not too far from the Kame house.
"This is your last chance buddy, tell us where Goku is or face the consequences." 17 said getting into a fighting stance.
Piccolo removed his weighted training clothing and got ready "like I said before this is between you and I now let's do this."
Piccolo powered up shocking 16 and 18 as he did so.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright good, good Reilena you got it just make sure you keep you're arm strait as you follow through with the punches." Goku said to his daughter as he watched her and Trunks spar on the lookout.
All of a sudden Gohan leapt up from where he was meditating as he felt Piccolos surge in power.
"Oh no Piccolo, he can't be fighting now can he?" Gohan said as he concentrated.
"I think so son, but I don't know why he isn't strong enough to take on Cell or the androids alone, at least not yet." Goku said to him as he concentrated as well.
"I have to go help him!" Gohan said as he began to run off the lookout.
"No Gohan wait!" Goku yelled as he got in front of his son stopping him.
"You can't go down there with him you will only get in the way son. I know it's harsh of me to say that but it's true and I know you know that. You need to stay here and wait for Vegeta and Trunks to get out of the chamber so we can go in and train. Only then will we be able to beat them!" Goku said to his son.
"Yeah but dad Piccolo might not make it till then!" Gohan said in protest.
"Son, you and I both know that Piccolo is a smart fighter and can take care of himself. Don't worry I am sure he will be fine now come on." Goku said as he walked back with his son to where the others were.
Everyone waited and sensed as the battle between 17 and Piccolo waged on.
"Oh no dad I can't be sensing what I am sensing right now…" Gohan said in panic.
"No son its true…Cell is on his way towards Piccolo and 17 as we speak." Goku said in a serious tone.
"Oh no daddy that's not good! We need to go help Piccolo!" Reilena said upset.
"Yeah we need to help him and everyone else!" Trunks said in agreement.
"Absolutely not, at least not yet let's see what happens when Cell gets there he might have a hard time absorbing the other androids with Piccolo around. And besides the others aren't too far." Goku said trying to calm them down.
"But dad Trunks from the future said that everyone dies at the hands of them in his time!" Reilena said to him.
"Yeah but don't forget hunnie everyone's been training for the last ten years they know what they are doing and as much as we may want to help Piccolo the only thing we can do at this point is to train…it will be a waste of time and energy facing them now." Goku said to her with a faint smile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's a shame that you had to get in our way like that; you have nothing to do with our mission. It's Goku we are after not you." 17 said with a smirk wiping the blood from his face.
"Yeah well I make it my business to have to do with your mission Goku is…Goku is my friend and I will be damned if you destroy him!" Piccolo said to him.
"Friend huh, well looks like the next time you will see you're friend it will be in the next world." 17 said getting back into fighting stance.
Piccolo was about to say something back when all of a sudden he felt a huge power level coming towards them.
Oh great here comes Cell this is exactly what I need right now. Piccolo thought to himself.
"Grrr listen you three need to get out of here right now there is a creature by the name of Cell who is on his way here as we speak and he is coming for you three!" Piccolo said to them.
"Listen bud we will leave here when we are good and ready and when YOU tell us where Goku is." 18 yelled at him.
"Yeah no one tells us what to do." 17 said getting angry.
"Are you guys that think headed listen to me this thing is more powerful than the two of you combined he is on his way here so he can absorb you and become the perfect biological weapon! Now do you get it you three need to hide so that he doesn't find you!" Piccolo said pleading with them.
"I highly doubt he is stronger than us, we are the perfect beings. Now I want to stick around and see this guy just to prove you wrong." 17 said with a smirk.
Piccolo all of a sudden powered up his special beam cannon attack.
"I will not let Cell absorb you!" Piccolo yelled as he let the attack go at the androids.
16, 17 and 18 were quickly able to avoid the attack as it went shooting out into the ocean.
"You didn't actually think that you were going to be able to hit us did you?" 18 said with a smirk.
All of a sudden a frustrated Piccolo's attention was diverted towards the sea as a being could be seen in view.
"Oh great he's here!" Piccolo yelled as Cell landed on the island.
"Delightful what a momentous occasion a day for the history books for sure. The completion of my being will be the dawn of a new age! Thank you Piccolo for bringing them here for me this makes the task so much easier." Cell said looking at 17 and 18.
"Oh great now what if he merges with those two then it's all over!" Piccolo said frustrated.
"Ahh yes I have waited so long for this…" Cell said as he powered up.
Piccolo and the androids looked at Cell in shock as he walked forward showing off his new power.
"Impressive isn't it, I bet you hardly even recognize me. Yes my power is quite remarkable." Cell said with a smirk.
"That's not your power you stole it from all of those innocent people!" Piccolo yelled at him.
"Stole? Hardly I gave them a purpose in life; they are now a part of the perfect fighting machine." Cell said with a smirk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh man this is nuts do you feel that?" Krillin said to Master Roshi and Tien.
"Yeah Cell powered up I better Piccolo is shacking in his boots right about now." Master Roshi said t to them.
"Man I can't just stand here while Piccolo is out there about to get his but kicked I need to go and help him!" Tien said to them.
"No, as much as I know you two boys want to go and help at this point the best thing we can do is wait for Bulma and Videl to get here with the remote." Master Roshi said to them.
"Hey I have an idea instead of waiting around for Bulma and Videl to get here why don't you just go to them?" Chichi said sticking her head out of the Kame House window.
Krillin turned to Chichi excited "Oh my god Chichi you are a genius why didn't I think of that we can fly faster than Bulma's airship!"
"Finally someone around here listens to me, besides there are other ways for you guys to solve your problems without using your fists you know." Chichi said crossing her arms.
"Geese that's a good one Chichi you should write that one down. Now if you'll excuse me I am going to go meet Bulma!" Krillin said sarcastically as he blasted off.
All of a sudden Tien looked out toward where the battle was taking place and started to power up.
"Oh no Tien don't you dare even think about it!" Master Roshi yelled at him.
"I'm sorry but I can't just wait around here I need to go and help!" Tien yelled as he blasted off towards the island where Piccolo was.
"No Tien! That stubborn kid…he is going to get himself killed!" Master Roshi said as he looked on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Watch it look out!" Piccolo yelled at 17 as Cell began to attack him with his tail.
17 struggled to avoid Cell's tail as much as he could. Just as Cell had him where he wanted him Piccolo kicked Cell out of the way knocking him to the ground.
"Thank you Piccolo, that was close. So what's the deal again he wants to absorb me so he can become the perfect being?" 17 said to him.
"You and 18, he wants both of you…he needs both of you to become complete." Piccolo said to him.
"What a creep and he's not even that good looking." 18 said as she looked on.
"You should be rejoicing my brother and sister the three of us are like pieces to a puzzle. We are destined to be together in one being, it is the reason he created the two of you…to complete me and create the ultimate fighting machine. Now come hither my brother and unite with me so we can fulfill Dr. Gero's dream." Cell said licking his lips.
"Yeah thanks but no thanks besides it looks like it is a bit crowded in there. I don't need you and I HATE Dr. Gero!" 17 said smirking.
"You hate the good doctor? He was the one who gave you life the least you could do is fulfill his life long dream." Cell said smirking.
"In your dreams buddy now bring it." 17 said as he got back into fighting stance.
"I would not fight him it is extremely risky 17 it would be best for the both of you to run! This is a creature with great power, escape is recommended." 16 yelled at him.
"Well you and 18 can take off if you want don't you worry, I will take care of him." 17 yelled back at him.
17 began to attack Cell but was easily over powered by him. Just as Cell had him where he wanted him Piccolo attacked and tried to interfere but Cell knocked him right back down with ease.
"That was a bad move on your part Piccolo, you shouldn't have interfered." Cell said as he kicked Piccolo.
"Come on, it looks like 17 and Piccolo aren't even trying." 18 said looking on.
'They are 18, but Cell has a much larger power level then the two of them combined. Listen 18 I think you should leave here now." 16 said to her.
"Well what would you do stay or go?" she asked him.
Piccolo began to attack Cell again as Tien showed. Cell was still easily able to avoid all of Piccolo's attacks.
"Great what now? He is virtually unstoppable!" Tien said floating above.
All of a sudden Cell attacked Piccolo and grabbed him by the neck.
"Goodbye…Piccolo…." Cell said with a smirk as he threw him into the ocean.
Everyone looked on in horror as Piccolo was thrown like a rag doll into the sea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh no daddy I can't feel Piccolo's energy anymore!" Reilena said in panic as she bawled her fists.
"He can't be gone no way Piccolo is even stronger than my dad now that he fused with Kami!" Trunks said looking up at Goku.
Goku turned to see Gohan who was now visibly upset trying to hold back tears.
"That's it I can't take this anymore I am going down there!" Gohan yelled as he powered up to Super Saiyjin and started to run off. Goku quickly grabbed his teenage son and held him back.
"No Gohan you can't go not yet!" Goku yelled at him.
"No let go of me right now dad, it's not fair I am not going to let Piccolo die! He needs me!" Gohan yelled as he struggled.
"Gohan get a grip and listen to me I know it's not fair but we only have one chance to beat that monster and we have to play to win! I know you know that Gohan, if we don't wait than Piccolo's sacrifice will be in vein." Goku said as Gohan calmed down a bit and collapsed to the ground.
"But it hurts dad this is the second time I have just sat around and let him die! I promised myself I wouldn't let it happen again!" Gohan said bawling his fists.
"I know son I know…and what I just said goes for you kids too, no running off to fight Cell you got it?" Goku said in a serious tone.
"Yes sir…" Reilena and Trunks both said at the same time as they looked down at the ground, still up set by Piccolo's situation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So Videl, why aren't you are the Kame house anyways? Weren't you staying there until Goku got better?" Bulma asked her as they flew.
"Well sort of…I left two days ago and went back home to…think some things out." Videl said to her looking away.
Bulma gave her a soft smile "I know a lot to take in huh? Yeah hanging around these guys can get pretty overwhelming sometimes but you'll get used to it."
"It's just…it's just almost like Gohan is living in this strange fantasy world …its crazy…well more unexpected I guess. Who would have ever thought that the goofy, nerdy new kid would turn out to be so…complicated?" Videl said with a slight laugh.
"Yeah let me tell you when we all found out that Goku was an alien from another planet it took me at least a month to soak it all in so I know what you mean. And I am sure that Gohan doesn't expect you to understand right away. But I will tell you one thing, Gohan is a special kid alright, he's just like his father strong, brave, kind hearted, and naïve so don't expect him to ask you out on a date right away." Bulma said with a smirk.
"A date, with Gohan no way not in a million years." Videl said blushing.
"You know that's the same thing I said when Yamcha told me to go and marry Vegeta if I was so concerned…ugh Yamcha is such a jerk sometimes." Bulma said shaking her head.
"But I thought that you and Vegeta weren't married?" Videl said confused.
Bulma smirked "we aren't I am still working on that I almost have him right where I want him…those Saiyjin males I swear…"
"I see this…" Videl said as she stared out the window.
"Listen, I can definitely tell that you and Gohan have some sort of a connection even though you have only known each other a few months…I think that you two just need to figure out what that connection is…and make sure that if it is romantic he doesn't knock you up in a fit of passion…trust me I am speaking from experience." Bulma said to her laughing slightly.
"What…no way Gohan and I…like THAT…aren't you jumping the gun a bit I mean I haven't even gotten a chance to sit down and talk to him about all the stuff that's been going on the past few days or the stuff he conveniently left out about his past…let alone anything remotely close to THAT!" Videl said in shock.
Bulma laughed as she heard her cell phone go off and quickly picked it up.
"Bulma Briefs…oh hey Roshi….Krillin is going to meet us half way…what Piccolo and Tien are battling it out against that creature thing…WITH THE ANDROIDS?!? Right I will keep a look out for him thanks!" she said and hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Videl asked her.
"Master Roshi, apparently Krillin is on his way to meet us half way so that he can get the remote ASAP because that creature thing…or Cell whatever he said is on the verge of absorbing the androids and becoming an unstoppable killing machine!" Bulma said as she scanned the area for Krillin.
"What, absorbing the androids what do you mean?" Videl said confused.
"I don't know but when we meet Krillin I am going to make sure that he tells us EVERYTHING that is going on…ugh I hate it when they leave me out of the loop…but I will show them I always show them that even though I am not a fighter I am not completely useless to their cause!" Bulma cheered as they flew along.
Videl sat back and looked up "you know if this is all a dream… I think want to wake up now."
AN: Well that was chapter 15...hopefully if I get all my homework done this weekend I will have 16 out next week….yeah I have been hella busy lately. But anyways as always R/R!!
