It's been three weeks since the boys went to space and face the threat that the multiverse is currently facing. Three weeks and up until now, Chichi have no idea of what is really happening. She isn't aware about the threat that the universes are facing. In fact, after that fateful night, she had never seen Bulma. Usually, Bulma would always check on her especially when the boys were out there fighting bad guys. But unfortunately, she hadn't seen her for weeks and it started getting on her nerves.
Chichi started to get worried. She needs to know the truth behind the rushes and the battle they were talking about that day.
She changed into her usual clothing whenever she visits Bulma - wearing a baby above the knee dress. With one glance at their small home, she sighed, before hopping in to their small airship their family owned. She wanted to ask her father to take care of the house while she's out, but she remembered how busy her father is, and so she decided to go back home as earlier as possible.
Upon arriving at Capsule Corp, she noticed how quiet the ambiance is. Too cute to be specific. Capsule Corp was never quiet. Where are the people in this very big house?
She was even quite shock when she saw Pan with Bulla. Both kids are playing near the garden with Barbie dolls. Bulla was the one playing the dolls while Pan was playing with her phone. Pan immediately stopped playing when she noticed her presence. She smiled at her granddaughter before picking her up in her arms.
"Grandma, you're here!" Pan kissed her cheek.
"What are you doing here, Pan?" She kissed the little girl in her cheek who just giggled at her.
"Mommy is here too. Actually, Marron is with us awhile ago, but she decided to swim for a bit." reported Pan which made her brow lifted.
Marron is here as well? So does this mean, 18 is here as well? She doesn't know what's going on, but she really needs to know it. Right now.
She put down Pan and greeted Bulla.
"Hi, Bulla! How are you doing?" She ruffled Bulla's blue hair who only smiled at her in return.
"I'm fine, Aunt Chichi. Will you stay here too for months just like Aunt 18?"
Chichi's hand stopped midair when she heard what Bulla had said. Months? Does that mean, 18 and Marron, Videl and Pan were staying her at Capsule Corp for months? Questions flooded her mind.
What exactly is going on? Thoughts and a lot of things bothers her.
She shook her head. Over thinking will not help her as of the moment. Smiling - she then looked at Pan. "How many days are you staying here, Pan?"
"It's been 3 weeks, Grandma." That confirmed her intuition. There's really something behind this threat that the multiverse is facing.
She left the kids - playing with their dolls before deciding to look for Bulma inside the house. She found her and her company at the swimming pool area. Bulma and Videl were both sitting at the swimming table - opposite 18. Marron was swimming on the swimming pool.
"Chichi-san..." Uttered Videl when she finally noticed her presence. She looks so flustered upon seeing her.
Chichi averted her gaze to Bulma who looks at her the same way as how Videl looks at her. 18 on the other hand seemed to not care at her presence at all.
"Care to explain what's going on, Bulma? Why is Pan and Videl here? Why is 18 and Marron is here?"
Bulma ushered her to sit down and so she obliged. The trip from Mount Paozu to Capsule Corp was exhausting. Bulma grabbed a drink for her and offered it to her. She took it in one gulp. She doesn't know but she feels like she's about to faint. The three weeks of worrying about her boys' welfare took a toll on her. Now, she seemed to get sick in the process.
"Now, explain!" She demanded after all the minutes of rest.
"Gohan and Krilin are scared of the situation that the universes are facing and so they're here. It was Lord Beerus who requested them to help the multiverse warriors. We are ensure of our safety if things will go crazy. Whis is in contact with us, and he'll arrive once unexpected things happen."
Chichi's heart raced. Her heartbeat is in chaos. All this happened without her knowing? Does that mean, this chaos, all of this could actually lead to something more dangerous?
"So, why didn't you tell me?"
Bulma glared at her before sipping on her glass of juice.
"Tell me Chichi, what will you do if you found out how dangerous that your boys were facing right now? You're just going to refrain them from coming outside the planet and that's obviously not the thing that we needed right now." Bulma's voice is stern. Chichi can't speak. She doesn't know what to say. Bulma is right. She would just refrain Goten and Gohan. She is naturally like that.
"How can you stay calm, Bulma? How can you still stay put knowing that Trunks might be out there - fighting monsters to monsters with no possibility of coming back?" Instead, she asked her.
Bulma looked at her sternly. She stood up from her seat before eyeing her. A tear is visible in Bulma's eyes. She's obviously trying to act tough, she thought. Staring at Bulma, she now know, they feel the same pain.
"Do you really think I wanted Trunks and Vegeta to go there?" Bulma grabbed her own hair before looking down at her.
"God knows how I wanted to chain them here and so they won't be fcking out there - fighting for their lives, but I just can't refrain them. They won't understand our pain, Chichi. They won't understand our fears cause they are Saiyans. They have pride and it is the most important thing for them!"
Chichi watched as Bulma cried in front of them. Videl was just looking down at her hand. 18 was just listening to them.
"What's the point of refraining them? The world will end, who will save it? They're out there - fighting while thinking about our welfare. The only thing that we can do right now is to pray for their safety."
Bulma then went near her, kneeling in front of her, Bulma. wiped her cheeks. She didn't realize she was crying with her.
"If you think no one understands you, Chichi. You're wrong. 18 is just trying to calm herself, but she sure is scared as well. Videl is scared too."
"I can't lose Goten and Gohan." She began shaking her head. Thinking about losing them kills her. She'd rather die. She's shaking at that thought.
"We will not lose them, Chichi. We have to stay positive in times like this. We have to trust them. They will come home."
She admired how tough Bulma is as she can still console her even at times like this. Videl walked to her and hugged her. Videl cried with her. Now, she realized how difficult the situation is.
Bulma told her everything. Chichi found out how the Gods are fighting one another, a taboo in the galactic law. Gods are forbidden to have fights cause it will destroy the universes. There's a commotion among Gods and so the Gods of Destructions are divided right now.
"But why is Zeno not doing anything!?" Chichi retorted.
"He's the Lord of all - who give no fuck about the universes. He can always create universes. Remember, how he erased universes when he gets bored?" 18 glared at the sky - thinking Zeno is up there.
That day, Chichi went home with a heavy heart. Despite the fact that Bulma has been begging her to stay at Capsule Corp, she decided not to stay there. She was glad that Pan and Videl are both there with Bulma. At least, they're safe.
That night, she slept - alone while crying. Three weeks have been hell to her and she sure knows that the following week will be more hellish.
