"Gohan, it's nice to see you, but you know you should call first." A blue haired woman said as she lead them into the kitchen. "Anyway, what brings you and your friend by?"

"She needs to use a phone." Skuld rolled her eyes.

"Dummy." She smiled at Bulma. "I need to borrow a phone and some tools. I want to make something to help me call home. The normal phone isn't enough."

"Uh, okay. How about I fix you kids a snack before I get them?" Gohan grinned and Skuld bowed slightly. "Okay kids just sta-"

BOOM!!!

"BULMA!!"

"WHAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

"Oh hell. I'll have to check on Trunks. Gohan, can you go check up on Vegeta for me?" Gohan paled a little but nodded. True, Vegeta was one of the good guys now, he had helped them fight Freezer, the Androids, and Cell, but he was still a loud and violent man. Needless to say, Gohan was still a little bit scared of him.

"Come on." He grabbed Skuld's hand and pulled her through the kitchen door leading to the yard.

Why is he always touching me like that? He feels so strong, but it's gross. He's a boy who gets naked outside!

"Where's the woman brat?"

"Um, Trunks is crying, so she sent us out here to check on you." Vegeta raised an eyebrow at `us' and focused on the girl behind Gohan.

"Nice piece boy." He smirked. The girl was indeed cute. He mentally laughed at the thought that if she actually had breasts she'd be quite alluring. "Can't fool around with that harpy in the way?" Gohan and Skuld looked at each other. Gohan shrugged. "Don't think you can just show up here when you feel like screwing around."

"Screwing around?" They both asked. They shrugged at each other again.

"What your parents did when you weren't around." Gohan thought about the time when he'd come home from training with Piccolo to find his parents `hugging' and kissing on the couch.

"You mean like kissing and holding hands?" Gohan said with a smile. The girl instantly smacked his hand away from her own. Both children flushed furiously. Skuld however looked more angry as Gohan did embarrassed.

"Gross!! I don't do that kind of stuff!! Especially not with boys who get naked outside!" Gohan's blush deepened.

"Drop it already Skuld." She humphed and crossed her arms over her chest. Vegeta smirked. This could amuse him for a while. He had no problem messing these kids up psychologically. They weren't his kids.

"Holding hands? That's what children do. Adults do other things."

"What else do they do?"

"Pervert, why do you want to know," Skuld said punching Gohan's arm. She then gave Vegeta the same expectant look Gohan was giving him.

"They fuck," he said simply like they should already know. He might as well have been saying `they eat', or `they talk'.

"What's `fuck'?" Skuld asked. She'd never heard that word, but there were a lot of things she hadn't learned about Earth yet.

"Don't say that! It's a bad word." He clamped his hands over her mouth.

"Quit it!" She shouted smacking his hands away from her. He keeps touching me!! "Why is it bad?" Gohan opened his mouth to answer, but then closed it.

"I don't know. Mom told me not to ever say it, she never told me why."

"I can tell you what it means." They both looked up at him expectantly. The boy was thirteen and the girl looked about the same. They'd understand enough to be embarrassed as hell and give him a good laugh.

"Well, it usually starts with kissing and touching. They take off all their clothes and then they kiss and touch each other all over." Both preteens looked disgusted yet intrigued. They stole a glance at each other, looking away instantly. "Then the man gets hard."

"Hard? Like a rock?" Skuld asked. This was making no sense. She was beginning to think this guy as lying. She knew about kissing although she'd never done it, but taking off clothes? They sounded just as bad as rice boy next to her. Meanwhile, Vegeta was fighting the urge to laugh his ass off.

"All over?" Gohan added, before Vegeta could respond to Skuld.

"Yes girl, like a rock. But not all over. Just one part. You know what I'm talking about, right boy?" Gohan was blushing as badly as he had in the bath incident. For the past few months, he'd been `leaking' at nights sometimes and he'd wake up in the morning with a terrible tightness in his groin. It was worse when he'd started thinking about what Bulma might look like without clothes. Why he suddenly had thoughts like that was beyond him. He'd looked at himself in the morning horrified. It was stiff and sticking straight out. All he could do was wait in bed for it to go away and hope his mother didn't come up to wake him. How did Vegeta know? Vegeta gave him and evil smirk. "And the woman gets wet."

"Like with water?" Gohan asked quietly. Why am I still here! I should run before… before what?

"Does the man wet her with water?" Skuld added. This guys a big fat lair, she thought. "That's stupid."

"No, she has a hole that gets wet from inside." Skuld paled slightly. Hole?

"Hole?" Gohan asked, totally perplexed. "I don't understand."

"You know which `hole' I'm talking about, right girl?" He gestured downward with his eyes, an evil smirk setting into place.

"I think so." She turned away from both men.

"Well, to make a long story short, the guy takes the part that gets hard and he puts it in that hole."

"AHHHH!! GROSS!!" Skuld made a mad dash for the house. She didn't know what part the man used and it didn't matter, she'd heard enough. Gohan's jaw was hanging wide open. It took a second for him to recover. Vegeta doubled over with thunderous laughter.

"Um… Mr. Vegeta?" Vegeta wiped a tear from his eye.

"You still here?"

"You're talking about my…" Gohan trailed off softly looking at the ground.

"Dick." The boy flinched. He'd heard that word before.

"Yeah.. that."

"Yes. Your dick gets hard and you put it in her pussy." Vegeta crossed his arms and rolled his eyes in irritation. Confusion washed over the boys face.

"Wait, so now there has to be a cat?" Ewww…

"No, you stupid little shit. Her cunt, you know, the hole I was talking about. It's in the same place your dick is. You do know that girls don't have dicks, right?"

"Yeah, I knew that…" Gohan said quietly as he processed the information. "That's really gross Mr. Vegeta. I pee with that."

"How the hell do you think you got here? Kakkarotto fucked your mother." Gohan looked like he was about to vomit. "Yeah, the thought of anything fucking your mother makes me sick too." Gohan was too disgusted to make a retort. "I take it you haven't used that little dick of yours yet-" Gohan mumbled something. "What was that boy?" Vegeta heard him, but it was just funnier to make him say it loud.

"I said it's not little." Gohan said softly. Vegeta broke down laughing once more.

"So you… did that to Bulma?" The laughter stopped.

"Getting a little nosy, aren't we?"

"Well, My mom said I was born because she and Dad really loved each other, and that love makes a seed that grows in a mom. That's why she's pregnant now. She said Dad was full of love and he gave it to her. They put it in her belly and now it's turning into a baby. So that's how the love got in there? You put your love in Bulma too, right?" Vegeta doubled over again. Watching Vegeta laugh was really starting to scare Gohan.

"The only thing your father was full of is cum, same as me. That's what he put in your mother. That's what got those women pregnant. Tell her to stop blowing sunshine up your ass and tell you how it really works." Gohan was silent for a moment.

"So you did it to Bulma."

"We have a kid."

"So, you did it with Bulma, right?"

"I fucked her."

"So you love her and made a baby?"

"I fucked her."

"Do you love her?"

"I still fuck her… occasionally." Vegeta admitted with no malice. Gohan smiled. That was as close as he'd get. Vegeta raised an eyebrow. He heard Bulma screeching in the kitchen. "Not a word boy." He took to the air just as Bulma came storming out of the house.

"VEGETA YOU NASTY ASSHOLE! THEY'RE FUCKING KIDS! YOU CAN"T TALK ABOUT THAT SHIT IN FRONT OF THEM! COME BACK HERE YOU BASTARD!" She shook her fist at the sky before turning to Gohan. "I'm sorry Gohan. I shouldn't have sent you out here. Come inside and tell me what he said to you so I can try to repair the damage that idiot caused." She led him towards the door. "Seems that's all I friggin' do around here anymore…" she grumbled under her breath.

Gohan paled when he saw Skuld sitting at the table, seemingly studied the wood grain pattern closely. Bulma gestured for him to have a seat. He opted for the one across from Skuld.

"Okay kids. Tell me exactly what he said."

"You won't tell my mom?" He looked at Bulma with pleading eyes.

"This will stay between us. If you're afraid to talk-"

"I'm not afraid!" both children snapped, glaring at each other. They immediately looked away.

"Gohan, all Skuld told me was that asshole out there was telling you perverted things. Fill in the gaps."

"He told us about…" He looked at Skuld. She was blushing and looked absolutely mortified. "He called it `fucking'. Don't tell my mom I said it, but that's what he said. He kind of told us how it works, but he didn't finish. He said that's where babies really come from and that my mom has been `blowing sunshine up my ass'." He couldn't help but smile as he looked to Skuld who was snickering at the phrase.

"Okay…" I can't believe it! He was trying to give Gohan `the talk'. I guess he assumed it was time. I mean he did show up with a girl. In his own circus freakish way, he was trying to help raise Gohan. How sweet. She smiled. "Gohan, go bring Vegeta back here. I'm going to ask your mother let you stay a while. Tell him he's not in trouble. I think he did the right thing." Gohan rose and went outside. He was several feet up when he felt something tug his shirt.

"Skuld? You… want to come with me?" OHMYGOD! "I mean, you can see how I track ki. He's not hiding. He's somewhere north of here."

"Ki? OK."

"I can fly a lot faster so I want you to hold on to me, ok?" She blushed but complied.

"Whatever." She grabbed his shirt again.

"You'll just tear it. Hold my hand." She hmphed.

"As if I'll let you drag me around again." Gohan smiled wrapped his arms around her from behind. "HEY!!"

"Hang on." He streaked across the sky. Skuld held onto the arms around her waist, blushing furiously.

AAKKKK!!! I'm gonna get him with a skuld bomb if he doesn't cut it out. Wow, he feels so hard and warm. Must be all those muscles… Doesn't matter Skuld! He gets naked outside rememeber! You saw him… She blushed even hotter. He didn't really look disgusting sitting there with the towel… `It' was nasty though. I'm glad I didn't really see it.

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!! I'm touching a girl!! My hands are right on her stomach. It's so flat and soft. She's so soft!!! I can smell her all around me. Her hair is so soft and black. I wish I could look at her face now too. I can't believe it! I'm touching a girl!! He shifted his hand slightly to find her vest had ridden up. The blouse she wore underneath rose as well. Is that her skin!? OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!! Her butt is touching me!!! OHMYGOD!!!

ALLMIGHTYHELPME!!! Was that his finger!? Skuld you pervert! You're not supposed to like it!! Skuld made a face. Did he just poke my butt? Jerk! Pervert!

OHSHIT!! Gohan came to a hault, letting her go. I hope she didn't feel that!! OHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT!! The `part' that Vegeta was telling him about was getting `like that' again.

"Why are you stopping? And why did you poke me? You're so rude!!!"

"Uh, he's in the area. We can slow down. You can fly on your own." Gohan closed his eyes. "Down there." He grabbed Skuld's hand and pulled her along.

"Not again…"

Gohan hid behind Skuld the moment Vegeta turned to them. He didn't want Vegeta to see his pants. Vegeta smirked and floated over to them. He raised his eyebrow as to say `go on'.

"Um, Bulma says to come back. She said she thinks you did the right thing or something like that."

"It's probably a trick, but I'm hungry, so I'll risk it." He smirked again. "Let's go then." Skuld took a step back. "Well, he has to carry you doesn't he? Hurry up!"

"She can fly on her own Mr. Vegeta." Vegeta nodded and took to the air. He stopped about fifty feet away and shouted for them to `hurry the fuck up'.

"I guess we have to go fast again. Hang on." He swept her over his shoulder before she could blink, folding an arm across the backs of her thighs. This way I can't touch her butt like before. He followed Vegeta. I'm touching her legs!! God, I never thought skin could be so soft! What's that smell? It's so good it's making me dizzy and I'm getting `like that' again. Ow… it hurts kind of. That's new, it never hurt like this before. Damn it's uncomfortable. What is that smell!? It's not like her smell from before. It's different, but familiar. Like her, but not like her.

This is so embarrassing! She used one arm to hold her skirt down and the other to make sure she didn't fall by spreading her fingers over Gohan's back. His cheek is on my hip!! Pervert!! I bet he's trying to look at my panties!! He's sooo gonna get it when we land!!

OHMYGOD!!! Is that her hand? It's so small. She's kind of low. OHMYGOD!! Damn… I need to sit down.

"AKK!!" Gohan hadn't been paying attention to where he was going. He hadn't seen Vegeta stop. Skuld blushed as her butt hit something hard. She turned her head to see it had been Vegeta's stomach. Gohan paled. He knew Vegeta must have noticed his `problem' by now.

"Pay attention fool. We're here. You can put her down now." He let Skuld go and kept behind her back. Unfortunately she spun around to glare at him.

"Gohan you dummy!! You were looking at my panties. Pervert!!" She was still clutching the back of her skirt down.

"I was not!"

"Yeah you did!! You saw my panties!! You-" Wow, I think I figured out which part gets hard. Eww… don't boys use the bathroom with that? Gross…

"So what? They're panties. Besides, I wasn't looking at them. The wind blew your skirt. I didn't look directly at them." Gohan followed her line of sight for a moment and caught what she was staring at. "Who's the pervert now?" He turned his body away, but craned his neck to continue to smirk in her general direction. Skuld blushed.

"Liar! Skuld bomb away!!" She pulled a wire on a strange ball and tossed it at Gohan. He looked at it before it blew up in his face, singeing him a bit.

******************

"What happened to you Gohan?" He smiled the Son smile and chuckled nervously.

"Skuld got me."

"Huh?"

"He was looking at my panties!!"

"I WAS NOT!! STOP SAYING THAT!! You're gonna get me in trouble!!"

"You saw them, didn't you?" She got right up in his face this time. Gohan's breath caught. God she's beautiful. Even now when she's mad at me. Those dark eyes burning like that. I think I want to touch her. Gohan unconsciously brought his hand up towards her face. She shrank back. "What are you doing!?"

"Your face… What's that on your forehead and your cheeks? A tattoo?" He'd meant to ask before anyway, so might as well use it as a cover up now.

"Oh, that's my emblem program. The symbol represents the future."

"Emblem program?" You mean you're an android?" Bulma gasped.

"An android?"

"She's a goddess." Gohan stated proudly. She glared at him.

"I'm not suppsed to tell people you dummy!"

"You told me."

"That was different." Skuld whispered turning away. "It doesn't matter, they know now."

"I was going to ask how you flew anyway." Vegeta said. "A goddess, huh?"

"Yeah. I guess I should tell you the whole story. Maybe then you can help me get home." Gohan sunk into a chair.

She's gonna leave…

"Yggdrasil is the system we use in heaven that helps convert life energy for us goddesses to use. It's our link to the Almighty. I'm a system debugger. I came to Earth to look for my sisters, Belldandy and Urd. I kind of got in trouble for sneaking away. Anyhow, I live with them. We live with a man named Morisato Keiichi. Belldandy was supposed to grant Keiichi a wish but-"

"Wish?" Gohan asked. "You can grant wishes without the dragonballs?"

"What's a dragonball?"

"Nevermind!! You can grant wishes?"

"No Mr. Vegeta, I can't. I'm only a goddess second class limited. Belldandy is a goddess first class unlimited. She grants wishes. So can Urd. She's first class limited. I'm just learning."

"Figures the son of a third class warrior would pick up a second class goddess. Hmph, useless." Skuld glared.

"Skuld bomb away!!" Gohan snatched it from her hand before she had a chance to throw. "Hey!"

"Not a good idea Skuld." She crossed her arms. Everyone ignored the fact that the bomb then blew up in Gohan's face. Everyone, except Gohan.

"How did you get here?" Bulma asked.

"I travel through water. So I was going home from somewhere, but I didn't end up in the tub at home."

"Hence this morning." She glared at Gohan. "Sorry."

"Anyway, usually I can call Heaven, but it won't work. That's why I need to enhance a phone. Until they find me or I can call them, I'm stuck."

"Kami's lookout." Gohan whispered. "You can find a way from there I bet."

"You think?" Her face lit up. He smiled weakly. He was glad she was smiling, but he felt something sore in his chest at the thought of her leaving.

"Yeah, I can take you there later."

"Good thinking Gohan. First though, there's something that needs to be cleared up." She looked to Vegeta.

"What, you're going to screech at me about this morning?"

"No, I just think you need help explaining things." He scowled at her. "Kids, I think we should have a frank discussion about sex."

"AHHH!!" Gohan buried his face in his arms on the table. His face was redder than ever.

"What's `sex' exactly?" Skuld asked.

"Obviously you didn't tell them very well Vegeta."

"What is it?" She asked again.

"Fucking." Gohan mumbled.

"AHHH!! GROSS!!" She joined Gohan in the hiding of faces. "Not THAT again!!"

"You kids are at the stage in life where it's natural to be curious, yet you may be too embarrassed to ask questions. Go ahead and ask. We'll tell you the truth. No sunshine." She emphasized the last part glaring at Vegeta. "ChiChi felt this would be easier for you to handle coming from a man. Vegeta's close enough."

"That's not what you were moaning last night woman."

"VEGETA!!" Bulma went red. Gohan and Skuld both sat up eyes wide.

"That sounds more like wha-"

"VEGETA!! STOP THAT!!" She cleared her throat. "Ask a question kids." They blinked. "Gohan, don't you want to know anything?"

"Well… I… nevermind. I can't tell you right now." He glanced at Skuld.

"Ok. Well, first of all, it's very natural and nothing to be embarrassed about. Secondly, do not call it… what he said. Call it `making love' or `sex'."

"Making love…" Gohan whispered.

"That sounds so pretty…" Skuld said softly. "My sister told me that love comes from our hearts and it overflows and spills out warming the hearts of everyone we meet. Love is what gives goddesses our powers." Gohan sighed and rested his chin in his hands. Vegeta rolled his eyes and released a sighed growl of annoyance.

"That sounds really nice Skuld." She smiled.

"My sister is the smartest, most beautiful, talented, goddess alive. You'll meet her when she finds me."

"Well, when a man and a woman love each other, they decide to show each other how much by making love together."

"Love has nothing to do with it woman."

"Yes it does. We're talking about making love. Not whoring around."

"How can they make more love, if they already love each other. And does that mean I have to do that with every man I love?"

"You NEVER have to do anything you're not ready to do Skuld. Don't let anyone tell you different. NEVER do it if you don't want to."

"OK."

"Love making is a term. The actual mechanics of the act is called sex. You two know the differences between men and women, right?" Both children paled.

"I know what's different." Gohan said.

"I found out this morning…"

"C..cut it out Skuld." Gohan sputtered.

"What the hell happened this morning?" Vegeta snapped. Bulma smiled.

"She just appeared in my bath this morning. I was…"

"He was naked OUTSIDE!! So it's not my fault."

"You saw him?" Skuld and Gohan reddened.

"Kind of."

"It's unfair. You saw me completely naked, but you yelled at me when I ACCIDENTALLY saw your panties."

"I'm a girl!! You're not supposed to look at them!! And YOU were naked!! I didn't take your clothes off you!!" Both blushed. "I didn't mean it like that. I wouldn't take a boy's clothes off him. That's gross." She didn't sound convinced.

"It's not gross Skuld. It's natural." Bulma said. Vegeta rolled his eyes and began looking for a way out.

"Well, tell nature boy over here to keep his pants on from now on. If you'll excuse me..." She gave a bow and stormed out to where the phone was. Gohan looked mortified.

"Vegeta, please explain things to Gohan in here while I go after Skuld." Vegeta glared at Gohan.

"I want food woman." She rolled her eyes.

"You'll get it when I get back."

"Now."

"When I get back, it'll be `now', ok?" He snorted and folded his arms.

"Well?"

"Well, I had a question but I didn't want to ask with the girls around." Silence. "ok… well, when I was flying with Skuld, I kind of… you know." Glare. "It got…hard." Vegeta smirked. He'd thought as much. The boy was a man by Saiyajin standards and should've been in pursuit of females a year ago. "I wanted to know… what I could do to get it to stop doing that."

"You can't stop it. You either take a woman or you jerk off." He shrugged. "Or you can just wait for it to go away, but where's the fun in that."

"To `take a woman' means… you know, right?" Vegeta snorted. "What's `jerk off' mean?" He'd heard Yamcha say that once or twice.

"Grab it and yank."

"That sounds painful."

"Really boy. All that studying your mother makes you do and you know absolutely nothing about life." Vegeta paused and stole a glance at the doorway. "Look, let's hurry this the hell up. What do you want to know about women?"

"Mom carefully screens the books she brings me. She chooses my lessons." He'd havee to get some books from Bulma instead. "Tell me about… the hole. I didn't understand that part."

"It's between her legs. Go open her legs and take a look." Gohan blushed. "Grow up boy. If you were on Vegetasei, You'd have gotten a whore to celebrate the victory over Cell." He remembered that word. He'd heard his mother and Yamcha use it a few times.

"You've done that with a… prostitute?"

"Yeah, and she's in the other room." Gohan looked confused.

"But, Bulma's not a whore."

"The sun's still up." With that Vegeta began laughing again.

"So how do I do it?" Vegeta's laughter died down.

"You still here? What are you talking about?"

"You know…"

"Fuck?"

"No. I want to know how to `make love'?" Vegeta rolled his eyes.

"Fuck with feeling." Vegeta smirked, crossing his arms and looking towards the doorway.

*****************

"Skuld honey, I realize this may be a little much for you right now. It's just that I wanted to make sure Vegeta didn't fill your heads with nonsense. You don't have to talk about this anymore with us, but you need to speak to a responsible adult about it when you get home, ok?"

"Okay…"

"Is there anything you need to know before I go fix some dinner?"

"Well, there is one thing… how do you know if a boy likes you?"

"He'll give you compliments and do things to piss you off. He'll find reasons to touch your hands or your leg. Don't let him touch you if you don't want him to though." She paused. "Is there a boy you like?"

"Um…"

"It's okay, I won't say anything." They shared a smile. "How about we all have some fun by the pool while we wait for food to arrive. A good judge of how much a boy likes you is his reaction to you in a swimsuit."

**********************

"How do I get a girl to like me?" Vegeta shrugged. To be honest, he really didn't know what the woman saw in him. He was an asshole and they both knew it. Probably because she's such a bitch, he thought with a mental chuckle.

"She'll find ways to get your attention. Show some skin… they get touchy and stupid sometimes. Giggling like morons." Next time I'll keep my mouth shut. This is my own fault. Okay, enough of this. I am NOT playing the concerned parental figure to Kakkarotto's brat. "Tell the woman to fix my dinner."

************************

"Um, Bulma, Vegeta says to please fix him dinner."

"Ha! That's not what he said. Go tell him I ordered in." Gohan nodded and left the room. "Skuld, I'm going to change into a swimsuit. Do you need one?"

************************

"At least I don't have to stomach that industrial waste that woman tries to pass for cooking."

"Will you come with us to Kamisama's lookout tomorrow?"

"I'm not here to hold your hand boy." Vegeta took to the air. "I won't be far. Alert me when the food arrives." Gohan nodded. He sighed and turned towards the house. His breath caught and his eyes bugged slightly. There, coming through the door were the girls, ready for the pool. Bulma was wearing a blue bikini, but his eyes were on Skuld. She wore a simple black and white sailor style tank and a black bikini bottom. Her hair was tied into a simple loose ponytail.

"Gohan, want to swim with us?"

"I don't have suit." Skuld smiled.

"I can make you one. They may be a little big, because I have to make them over your clothes. Turn around." Gohan complied. Bulma's eyes bulged to see the girls swimsuit come away from her body in large white shredded bands. Some went around Gohan's pelvis. Her own fit to her body as the swimsuit once more. She concentrated on Gohan's as it lay to him in the shape of trunks. It became black and settled in place. She smiled. She'd even managed the drawstring. "Okay, you can look now."

"Thanks Skuld! That's amazing. Is that how you always change?"

"Yeah. It's not as easy to do it on someone else though. Never tried it before." They shared a smile as Gohan ran inside to change.

The food arrived and Bulma left the children in the pool to answer the door. She hadn't seen Vegeta around and was worried he'd take up his old habit of terrorizing deliverymen.

**********************

Skuld pulled herself onto the edge of the pool and kicked her feet as she brushed wet strands from her face. Gohan surfaced and rested his head on his arms on the edge a few feet from her, smiling up at her.

"What?" she asked smiling sweetly. He was speechless for a moment. She's so beautiful like this. "Gohan, what's your problem." Her eyebrows lowered into a glare.

"Uh… I like your swimsuit Skuld. It looks good on you."

"Thanks Gohan. That's nice of you to say."

"Nice of me to say? You don't think that's true?"

"Well, It's a nice suit. I saw it in a magazine. I just wish I had a better body. You know more like Miss Bulma. She's got such a womanly body. You should see my big sister Urd. She's like a supermodel. Graceful, pretty, sexy, confidant. I want to be like her when I'm older. Minus the attitude and the lying problem." Skuld rested her elbows on her knees and sighed.

"If it helps any, I think you're great. You're smart and fun." He looked away from her and smiled, his face warming. Here goes! "and… real cute." Skuld blushed and began to play with her hands. I can't believe I said that to her!!!

"Thank you Gohan. You're cute too." She giggled.

She's getting giggly! She thinks I'm cute!! Gohan grabbed her and pulled her into the water. She resurfaced with a small shriek. Gohan resurfaced beside her.

"By the way," he said with a sudden surge of confidence, "I didn't mean I liked the swimsuit. I meant the way your body looks in it."

"Thank you, you pervert. Now I know you were looking at my panties." She gave him a wicked smile. He put his hand behind his head and laughed nervously.

"Yeah well, that was an accident."

"What about when we were flying? Was that an accident?" Gohan froze. "You were practically rubbing my stomach." He relaxed a little, glad she wasn't talking about his response to rubbing her stomach. "It's alright. I don't mind. It felt kind of good."

"Really?"

"Goddesses can't lie." Skuld gasped as Gohan's mouth pressed against hers. He withdrew almost instantly. "Gohan!"

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done that." He moved towards the pool edge.

"Gohan, wait…" He paused. "You just surprised me that's all. Come back." He complied but kept his distance until Skuld ducked under water and came up next to him. She gently brushed her lips against his. He kissed her back. Neither knew what they were doing but they were both breathless afterwards. "Let's do this some more later." She whispered before she ducked underwater again. This time she didn't resurface.

"AAAKKKK!!!!" Bulma fell back onto her behind. She'd been setting the table and was washing her hands when Skuld popped out of the sink. Trunks began to giggle from his highchair.

"Sorry Miss Bulma! I wanted to come help you with dinner." She spotted the baby and smiled. "He's so cute!" She picked him up and he cooed for her. "Wow… He looks just like Mr. Vegeta." She paused. She looked at Bulma's hand. Thinking back she remembered that Vegeta wore no ring. "You're not married to him?" She was sure Keiichi said married couples wear rings.

"No, we're not. Don't worry about it kiddo."

"But I thought when people are in love, they get married and then have babies."

"Sometimes people make love, when they don't really love each other. Sometimes, love is one sided."

"Miss Bulma, I can feel that you love Mr. Vegeta. Why would you say such things?"

"Just because I loved him, doesn't mean he loved me." Skuld smiled sweetly and took Bulma's hands in her own.

"Of course he does Miss Bulma. I can feel the love that man has radiating off him. He's a jerk, yes, but he's just full of love. He loves you a lot! Trust me, I'm a goddess. Love gives us power, so I can tell."

"That's nice to say, but there's really no proof of that." Bulma's eyes began to glisten.

"He's here."

"He has nowhere else to go. Besides, he gets everything rent free."

"I don't know. I think it's more than that. He could go anywhere. Ask him. I bet he'll find an excuse to stay."

"You think so?"

"Goddesses don't lie Bulma." They both turned to see Gohan, still wearing his wet swim trunks.

"Thanks kid. Now stop dripping on my floors. Go get dressed. Then get Vegeta."
