Discliamer: I DO NOT OWN DBZ!

Chapter 4:

"Hi Bulma!" Krillen greeted once his friend picked up the phone, "Guess what?"

"What?" Bulma's voice resounded from the other side.

"I did it! I found the dragon balls!" Krillen exclaimed enthusiastically. He heard metal crashing against the floor and a few choice words were muttered in response.

"Really? That's awesome!" Bulma said, "Damn it, you jerk! What the hell have you done to my robots?" He heard her muffled shout.

"It's not my fault that you cannot create anything that lasts for more than one lousy training session!" He heard the ex-villain yell back.

"Uh, Bulma?" he hesitantly called.

"What?!" she screeched into the phone causing Krillen to almost drop the device, "Oh, right, sorry," she said, "So when are you going to you-know-where?"

"Well, we were kind of hoping, if you don't mind of course-"

"To watch Marron tomorrow," they finished together.

"Yeah, of course, no problem at all," Bulma said happily, "So do you want me to come get her or will you drop her off?"

"I'll fly her there at seven thirty, if that's okay,"

"Yes, okay," she said in a sweet tone before her voice held barely suppressed anger, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to deal with a certain idiotic prince," Krillen could hear the telltale start of a screaming match before the line went dead. For the umpteenth time, he wondered how on Earth the two had gotten together.

"Dinner's ready!" his wife called from the kitchen, "Hurry up!" Krillen made his way to the kitchen and helped Marron onto her seat. He made himself comfortable on the last available chair and the family of three along with Master Roshi ate with much less tension than was normal over the last couple months. They joked, they laughed, they told stories and they had a good time whilst enjoying Eighteen's half-burnt food. However, no one paid the blandness of the supposed-to-be omelet any mind as they were, indeed, having the first real family moment in a long time. Once dinner was over and the dishes were washed and dried, the family gathered around the TV and watched something other than Master Roshi's favorite show despite his protests. Later, it was time for bed, and both husband and wife tucked their little girl in before kissing hr goodnight and exiting the room.

The next day, Krillen noted that his bed was indeed warmer than usual. He also noticed that the bed hadn't lost any weight over the night for Eighteen still lay beside him in bed. He couldn't help but think that they were already heading in the right direction. He glanced at the clock. It was seven o'clock. He got up from bed and changed from his pajamas. He woke up his daughter, who got up with little to no fuss which was more than unusual for the little girl. Together, they got to Bulma's house where Marron quickly set off to find Trunks while Krilln greeted Bulma in a hurry before returning home. He arrived at a little past eight to find his wife already preparing breakfast. Once the food was eaten with light conversation taking place, they set outside with the dragon balls in the bag. Krillen emptied the contents of the bag on the floor and the balls glowed brightly.

"SHENRON! I CALL YOU FORTH TO GRANT OUR WISH!" Krillen yelled. The dragon balls glowed even brighter, the sky darkened and became as black as the night sky. Out of nowhere, a huge green beast formed in the atmosphere. Its red eyes shone and its nostrils flared as it spoke.

"STATE YOUR WISH AND I SHALL GRANT IT," the dragon known as Shenron stated. Krillen stared in fear and awe at the beast above. He had seen it many times, but every time the dragon was called, he was instantly filled with this feeling of wonder. He wondered how Eighteen, who hadn't seen it as much as he did was feeling. He craned his neck in her direction and saw that she shared his feelings identically.

"I wish that Eighteen and I could go back to her past!" Krillen shouted. The dragon's eyes shone and a weird-looking device formed from thin air. The device floated towards Krillen.

"YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED," Shenron stated, but he did not disappear. Noticing the bald man's confusion, he asked, "WHAT IS YOUR SECOND WISH?"

"Oh…" Krillen glanced at the blond-haired woman, who shrugged, "Can we keep it for later?" he asked lamely.

"I SHALL GO NOW AND YOU CAN CALL ME AGAIN IN SIX MONTHS," Shenron explained. Krillen approved and the great dragon vanished. The seven dragon balls gathered in the sky before each headed in a different direction. Once the balls were out of sight, the morning sky returned to its usual blue hue. The device Shenron generated fell on the ground. Krillen bent and studied the device.

"Well?" Eighteen prompted as she approached him.

"It says that it's a time traveling machine," Krillen informed as he inspected the tool. It had four buttons; three of which were on the side and each of those buttons had a different name on it. The first had 'Day', the second stated 'Month' and the last was 'Year'. To each button corresponded a screen. Krillen thought that the screen closest to the button saying 'Day' signified the day they were going to and so on. The fourth button was red and was situated below the three screens.

"So when were you born?" he asked his wife. Eighteen seemed thoughtful before she shrugged in response.

"Do you want to know the year, date, or month she was born in?" A mechanized voice asked. Krillen almost dropped the device when he jumped, startled. He looked at his wife who had an equally bewildered expression on her face.

"Uh… All of them I guess," Once the words left his mouth, the screens were no longer blank and various numbers were displayed on the screens. The numbers kept changing until they settled on an exact date, 10/10/784.

"Press the red button when you're ready to leave, and make sure that all passengers are in contact with the device or the person holding the device," the computerized voice stated.

"Ready?" Krillen asked his wife. Eighteen let out a breath before she smiled and her eyes shone with determination.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be," she said as she placed her hand on his shoulder. Krillen smiled back before pressing the button whilst holding his breath. A white light erupted and both human and android had to close their eyes to avoid being blinded by it. When they thought it was safe to look, their eyes opened simultaneously and both were struck with new levels of marvel as various scenes of numerous creatures and people whizzed past in the vast space-like area. Each of them looked around as the past practically flew by as they reached the time they wanted to get to. Finally, both were grabbed at a specific point and pulled. They felt pressure tugging at them as they were pulled into another dimension. They fell once they were out of the space-like venue on hard ground. Krillen groaned as he stood up and offered a hand to his wife. She gladly took it and both observed the place they were in.

"What are we doing here?" Eighteen asked as she eyed the building in front of her, "This can't be real,"
