I do not own Dragon Ball or any of the Dragon Ball series, this is fanfiction only.

Chichi and Bulma looked at 18 and asked what did she do to get Kagaro to give her access to his money. She looked at them and wondered if their men were just stingy. "I did not ask for it, he actually offered it so that I would have some clothes I could feel better about my situation."

"What situation are you referring to? " Bulma just had to ask." Several, say for instance my supposed father figure just left with my big brother and abandoned us to our luck? Or the fact that Kagaro who I think actually likes me was practically betrayed by the same father figure after he offered him a good paying job in his company? "

Chichi couldn't believe it, he actually offered him a job." And fund his research no less. Yes he offered him a job. There is also this little problem I have with the whole ticking time bomb that me and my brother have inside our bodies. Honestly I woke up and it was like I was Sleeping Beauty. "

Bulma wanted to hear more details about that. 18 did her best to describe how surprised she was to wake up and feeling someone else's lips on hers. She would never admit it but she liked it and the other two women knew from the blush on her cheeks.

" So where exactly are we going to buy clothes at?" 18 clearly had no clue so they both told her the only place where they could find all the items under one roof, the mall of course. She was amazed about how many stores and how many clothes they had on display. Chichi and Bulma knew exactly where to go to get the best deals and the best clothes.

18 tried many clothes and did select a few of them that were both useful and comfortable. She nearly threw a clear through a wall when she asked if her daddy would be coming to pay for her things. "You listen good buster, I am paying for my things and I am a full adult woman. You treat me like a kid again and I will send you to the emergency room from the beating I will give you is that clear or do I need to smack you around some to make sure your hearing me? "

" No, ma'am heard loud and clear. Will that be cash or credit? " 18 took the right amount of cash and placed it on the counter. The man looking very frighten put her things in the bag and walked out of the store. She even heard another woman say that it was high time someone put the sarcastic bastards in his place.

Chichi told her that she did not need to resort to violence, she could always talk things to out and come to an understanding. Bulma said she did the right thing. "You are probably older than you look if Gero is any indication. You might have been frozen in that cryogenic capsule for decades. The fact that you were surprised at seeing a mall means that much."

18 looked at her and smiled. "Yes it does, doesn't it. Yet I find myself somehow drawn to Kagaro by a force I know not. I been dreaming of him for years. I know him, I know what he loves to drink, eat and in which position he likes to make love in. I know his fears, what will anger him and what will make him laugh. I more than likely will never say it to his face but I was so very happy to wake up and finding him kissing me. "

Chichi looked at her," That is love, it is a force of nature just like a hurricane and just like a hurricane it can not truly be predicted or stopped. I fell in love with my husband the very moment I first met him when I was but a wee little girl. For decades I secretly resented Bulma for having adventures with him, adventures I never got to share. But time heals all wounds or so they say. "

The three decided to go ahead and have a light lunch. 18 had a chicken teriyaki dish, Chichi had a spicy tuna dish and Bulma Barbecue ribs with a side order of chili fries. They all had the same drink a pitcher of lemonade. " I still haven't heard which position Kagaro like to mount his woman." Bulma said as she took a bite out of her food.

"He likes to look at her as she rides on top of him cowgirl style. Something about being able to touch her more that way." Chichi laughed as 18 answered the way she did. "And here I was thinking that he was more likely to like the missionary or the doggy style. I never figured he was one to let a woman on top."

Kagaro was not the kind of guy they had imagined. "Maybe be so, but I can tell you one thing he didn't hesitate to let me go clothes shopping did he?" 18 did have a valid point he really didn't hesitate at all. "The real question is how do you know how he likes to make love since you two haven't even done it once?"

18 answer sounded almost obvious when she said it. "I had dreams of him doing it with me for years. I can't tell you how uncomfortable it is being stuck in a cold room and keep having wet dreams night after night." Chichi did remember hers and she could only imagine the discomfort.

Bulma didn't have to imagine it, she actually experienced it herself as she went to an arctic exploration in her search for the Dragon balls as a teenager. The three ladies decided to go to the last two places in their places they wanted to buy things from. It sure helped 18 and Chichi were very strong. The amount of bags they were caring would have made any other man cry and look at his empty wallet.

The shoe store had nothing Bulma consider buying, it simply was not something she would have an opportunity or use for. In a lab there really was not much use for sandals and high heel shoes. She did buy some sneakers and working shoes however. 18 both sneakers, sandals, a few boots and a pair of sandals.

Chichi did not buy anything in that store since she already had some shoes she was comfortable with.

The very last place made Chichi remember her youth, and especially her wedding night. The lingerie store was the place they spent more time on than any other store. Bulma kept telling her stories of her adventures and Chichi mentioned about how Goku and Master Roshi managed to put out a fire that had virtually made her and her father homeless.

18 bought some things that made Bulma think she had plans with Kagaro. "So it looks like someone wants a little taste of Kagaro even before she walks down the aile?" 18 told her again night after night of dreaming about it. Of course she wanted to see if he was as good as he had been in her dreams.

17 was busy but couldn't help but think that it was rather strange for Doctor Gero to leave like he did. In his search he found out that Kagaro was indeed the owner and president of the second largest corporation in the world, the first being one called Capsule Corp. It made no sense that he would leave the lab he called home for decades.

"It is almost like he has something in the lab that he did not want anyone else finding out. If I didn't know any better I swear it's his collection of porn magazines, but I do know better than to think that. It must be something so important that he did not want them to even find it. Speaking of finding it how in the world does this thing work. You would think he would include an instruction manual in this thing. "

Nappa looked at the three women come out of the mall and saw they were carrying quite the load of clothes." Kagaro might just regret letting them buy so much. I guess it was a good thing that I did not go with them. More than likely I would find something I like too. " Nappa came down from the place she was looking at them from and decided to help them with their bags.

" So I take it you found everything you needed then? I am sure Kagaro is simply going to be amazed how you look right now. " 18 touched her hips and told Nappa that was the intention she needed to make him see how very lucky he was of having her in his life.

" I don't think I should say this but he too has been having dreams about you. My husband once told me that his elder brother often wondered where you were, in fact I think he hired a small army of detectives and scouts to try and find you. " Chichi told her as she said what she said.

" So he is also had to endure this strong longing? At the very least that explains the kiss then. I would never imagine that a single kiss could feel that good. I wonder if he will still want me after what my supposed father figure did to him. I know I love him, but it would be nice to have a place so that we could talk in private. "

Bulma decided to tease her a little and said that talking is not the first thing on her mind. She accused her of actually wanting a private place to take his clothes off his body and have her way with him. 18 did not even try to deny it. She in fact did acknowledge that she did.

In her defense, she said that she had to endure all those wet dreams about him. Could they blame her for wanting to see if the real thing measured up to what he could do in her dreams? "I probably am the same way and I think I was the same way. I would constantly think of Goku as I grew up."

The ladies landed and Kagaro packed everything she bought inside a capsule. That was when Bulma felt like kicking herself. She totally forgot they could have packed an entire house worth of things inside a capsule. Guess the excitement of clothes shopping sort of made her forget for a second.

"Since you got busy with your shopping why don't I take you home and I can cook something nice for you. " The other women looked at their respective significant others and saw they would never do that for them.18 was happy to accept Kagaro's offer. Her feet really were tired after so many shops and trying so many clothes.

He simply picked her up in a bridal carry and they took off towards his home. "I guess that brother of yours actually learned the importance of being self sufficient. I hope you had too Goku, it would make my life a lot easier, since I have to do all the housework by myself." Chichi told her husband as they too left for their home.

To say 18 was surprised to see how big his house was would be an understatement. Kagaro could only tell her that it had to be that size since it was his home, office and lab all in one. He did warn her not to enter one room while in use. She asked if he was so easily embarrassed about her seeing him take a shower or using the toilet?

Kagaro decided to show her the real reason to stop further teasing on her part. She saw the room and he told her it was his gravity training room. She did not understand till she accidentally pushed a button making the room be under five times the earth's normal gravity. She was breathing pretty hard as he did her best to stay standing.

"And this is why you should not enter this room while in use. You accidentally set the room to five times the normal gravity. My usual warm up is 100 times normal gravity and it can go up to 200 times the normal gravity if not higher. Imagine what you feel right now times 20. Now I hope you see the reason it was not out of embarrassment but for your own safety. "

He turned off the machine and she was seen almost breath a sigh of relief. " Well you have to excuse me but I do plan to work out but make no mistake Kagaro I will catch up to your current level one day, and then we will be able to workout together." Kagaro had to admit that did sound like something he would actually like.

The only negative side was that she was so exhausted from resisting the increased gravity in the training room that she needed to be carried to their bedroom and Kagaro was more than willing to do so. He made and brought her dinner to bed and even cut her meat for her. It was such a tender and sweet thing she could not help but to kiss him.

"I guess some dreams do come true after all. Did you ever find something you did not like about Lapis? " Kagaro nearly choked on his juice as she asked him. He then remembered that she actually had dreams about him." Only during her pregnancy of our daughter. She used to have a problem snoring. "

18 asked almost defensively what was wrong with that? Kagaro began to tell her that Dracoid women had a physiological change during pregnancy. " It is one thing that her snoring, but it is entirely a different thing when she snores and a streams of fire came out of her mouth. Good thing our bed sheets and curtains were fire proof."

18 did not remember seeing that. "So you asked her to sleep on her side them. I guess it was either that or sleeping in separate beds. I guess she accepted." Kagaro laughed as he remembered the first time she did that. "She did after she gave me third degree burns on my back. I took a solid week in a regeneration capsule to recover."

She pictured it him sleeping peacefully and the she began snoring and then a jet of flames hit his back and him jumping out of bed with his clothes burning and his screams of pain walking her up. "You think it is funny, but I missed an entire week of work. The elder was furious that I was slacking off, and believed that I did it be because I was putting on airs since I married his daughter."

18 smiled and kissed his cheek. "Well you don't have to worry about me. I do snore but I will not be breathing fire anytime soon. So tell me more about your daughter I am sure she was cute as a doll, sweeter than cotton candy and more precious than a diamond."

Kagaro began telling her his entire life story and how he met his first wife, their marriage and the horrible way they died. In the end she was sorry she even asked him to tell the story. She told him that she was not going to die like that. "I will be here for a very very long time, my love. I plan to live to see our great grandchildren. So you can relax I will always be with you, but you better be sure to be there for me too."
