The Chapter
"Mom where are you"? Bulla said walking into the Living Quarters of C.C. She looked around at all the pictures on the walls. She gave a faint smile and continued to walk. There was a rustling in one of the back room. Raising an eyebrow she walked to where she heard the sounds. It was Bulma sitting on the floor with her legs crossed with a box of tissue and a photo album, sniffing on the floor. "Mom". Bulma looked up at her daughter with her tear stained face and redden eyes. "Bulla, your home earlier". She said between sniffles. Bulla gave a soft smile, cocking her head to the side a little.
"OH MY GOSH YOUR HAIR". Bulma said jumping up off the floor and her melancholy mood. Bulla's hair was still long but cut passed her shoulders to the middle of her back and bangs cut just below her eyes. It was glossy and healthy with a rich color to it. "I needed so change". Bulma hugged her and ran her fingers through her hair. "This is a pretty good impulse". Bulla laughed and blushed a little bit. "Your beautiful, honey". Bulma smiled at how truly beautiful she looked to her and how fast she had grown up right in front her eyes. She was still that spunky little girl who always knew what she wanted and how to acquire it.
"Mom what are you doing in here"? Bulla said bending down to pick up the pictures. It was pictures from the good ol' days. It was a photo album with only Trunks and Bulla in it. From the time they were born up to her birthday party. It was all very touching to her. "Mom, I want you to call for an interview with Entertainment Magazine". Bulma raised an eyebrow to her statement. "Why do you want to do that"? Bulma smiled gently and spoke softly. "I'm not scared anymore Mom, I want people to know, I'm not hiding it anymore. It's killing me to have to live in shadows and hide from the press with Goten. I've embraced who and want I am and I hope everyone else will too". Bulla let out a tear and nodded. "They can get you a time slot on Entertainment TV tonight I know that". Bulla smiled even better. "Call me okay, I have to go speak to Goten".
"I will, be careful Bulla, I mean it". She nodded and headed back to her car with her newly found confidence. Bulla got in the car and checked her phone for any messages. Nothing, Goten hadn't called or anything. She planned on just stopping by anyways. Pulling up to the complex after sliding her card to the entrance. Immediately she noticed that Goten's Jeep wasn't there. That's odd she thought to herself. He wasn't at work and usually told her. She pushed it out of her mind and just walked into the building to his floor. Opening the door with the keypad he had put in. She looked down on the floor and picked up his mail. Bulla sat down on the leather and sorted through his mail. One envelope caught her eye. It said: URGENT on it. She opened the letter it had scores on it and a letter behind it. It read:
Congratulations, Mr. Goten Son

We would be honored to have you as a part of our Alumni someday soon. Our Physic Program would be honored to have you. Please Contact me at my PERSONAL office.
Bulla squealed at the letter. This is what he was working on for months. Studying long nights and having no stamina. He was going to be so happy, and she was so proud. Bulla grabbed her bag and ran out of the apartment. As soon as she made it into the parking lot. Her phone rang and showed an unknown number. Paying no mind she answered it. "It's me Akira; please don't hang up the phone I needed to talk to you about the other day". Bulla rolled her eyes and just listened to him ramble on. "Akira there is nothing that WE need to talk about, I'm done with you and your bull that's it". She stated as she started up her car and changed over to her blue tooth. "Bulla, please I just want to make things right". She rolled her eyes. "Whatever, I'll meet you sometime tomorrow I'm busy today". He agreed and ended the call.
Pulling out onto the highway she heard her phone go off again. "Hey Mom, what do you need"? Bulla said turning down her music. "I just got off the phone with Entertainment TV and they said they want to do an exclusive with you tonight at 7:30". Bulla looked at her watch. Her eyes bulged out her head. "MOM WHAT THE HELL IT'S ALREADY 6:21"? "Well you better book it there; I'll send the address to your GPS, Bye and Good Luck". With that she ended the call. Bulla made an IMMEDIATE U-turn in the middle of the highway to get on course to head to the Studio that was at least 15 minutes away. She was about to make that 8 minutes.
Once again her phone rang. "Am I the most popular person in the world today"? She said answering the phone. "HELLO"! Not evening caring to look at who the call was from. "If you're not busy right now, I just wanted to know if you wanted to go and get married".
Cliffy!
