Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Holding On ❯ 26 ( Chapter 26 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Marron drove up to the dome-shaped Briefs' residence after delivering a clothes capsule to Trunks for his mother, and she proceeded to go inside with out knocking. She was practicaly family after all! She briefly heared the low humming of the Gravity room as she entereds the house. Glancing around cautiously to make sure Mirai wasn't nearby, she darted off towards Bulma's lab.

Her emotions were acting like a yo-yo. One moment she'd be happy to have every chance with Mirai, another, she'd dread seeing him because it would only make her more attached He'd have his memory back soon, tonight probably, and then it would be "bye bye relationship." But even then, at least she would have last night to remember it all by.

She saw Bulma sitting by the phone with an injection needle filled with a pinkish medicine in one hand, while the other impatiently strummed its fingers over the surface of the table.

"What are you waiting for?" Marron asked, visibly noticing that she startled the blue-haired genius.

"Oh, hello Marron. You took the capsule over to Pan's?"

Marron nodded her head, waiting to see if Bulma would answer her previous question.

"What was Trunks doing there?" Bulma asked. 'Nope, she didn't answer it' Marron thought.

"Oh.he's uhm." Marron struggled. What if they didn't want their relationship known yet? Then again they didn't tell her not to tell anyone. Besides.if Trunks called his mother in the first place, he must realize that she would find out eventually. "I think he's staying there for a while."

Bulma laughed. "I can't wait to see what Gohan and Videl are going to do when they get back in 2 days. First we have to tell them about Mirai and everything, and that it would be you're and Mirai's wedding day.then about my son and their daughter...then about Gohan's brother and Bra."

"Goten and Bra?" Marron asked. No wonder Bra hadn't been around lately.

"Yeah, only I haven't told Vegeta yet. I was just going to wait for him to find out. They aren't trying to hide it or anything.he probably already knows."

"Dende, I hope not." A familiar voice spoke from the doorway. The two women looked over to see Goten standing in the doorway.

"Hey Goten. What's up?" Marron asked.

"Bra was just putting some stuff up. Why didn't you warn me to never go shopping with her? I thought all those stories from Pan were just exaggerations!!!"

Marron laughed, and so did a rich feminine voice belonging to the figure that was now standing by Goten's side.

"It wasn't that bad, was it?" Bra asked him.

Goten just smiled sheepishly.

"Whatcha doin' mom?" Bra asked, noticing that her mother was again looking at the phone.

"Huh?" Bulma looked up. "Oh.just waiting for your father to call. Marron, you need to stay here you're plan B."

"Plan B?" Marron asked. "What's Plan A, and what are the plans for?"

Bra's eyes widened. "Does 'plan A' have anything to do with Vegeta killing Mirai?"

"What?" Marron and Goten asked.

"No." Bulma intruded. "The plan is for Mirai to be unconscious so I can inject him with the cure so that hopefully it will kick in and he'll be better by the morning so you," she points to Marron, "don't end up walking down the isle."

"So Vegeta's going to knock him unconscious under the guise of sparring?" Bra asked.

"He doesn't need an excuse, he would knock his opponent unconscious anyways." Goten said with a shudder. Kami he hoped Vegeta wouldn't mind his relationship with Bra toooo badly.

"Why didn't you just tell him it was a flu shot or something, and inject him while he's awake?" Marron asked.

Bra and Goten looked at Bulma for an answer too.

"Well it turns out that unlike our Trunks, Mirai takes after Goku, Pan, and Goten. He hates needles." Bulma frowned.

Bra looked up at Goten and noticed that he was a bit more pale than usual, since eying the needle in her mother's hand.

"Well why am I the back up plan? How would I get him to pass out?"

Marron immediately blushed and shut up when she saw Goten and Bra snickering at the obvious innuendo. She was NOT going to do THAT to have him pass out.

Ignoring the fact that her daughter was laughing Bulma answered, "you're going to get him drunk enough to pass out."

Goten and Bra looked up with puppy-dog eyes and asked if they could "please help?"

Marron frowned; she didn't like that idea for several reasons.

A drunk Saiyan is never a pleasant sight.

A drunk Saiyan that thinks he's engaged to you is definitely not a good idea.

And. "Bulma wouldn't the alcohol effect his blood and the effects of the medicine?"

Bulma frowned. "Let's just hope Veggie doesn't have a sudden conscience attack before he knocks Mirai over the head."

At that Bra, Goten, and Marron broke out laughing. 'Veggie'?

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

Mirai Trunks dodged another kick from his father barely in time, catching it with his left hand he twisted his wrist and with it, his father's ankle. 'Dad is being especially viscous today.'

Vegeta cursed in his mid and gave the boy a punch in the gut. 'Ok.so I knock him out and the woman gives him the shot.'

Vegeta moved his other arm to punch him in the face when Trunks ducked and gave Vegeta a swift kick to try and swipe his legs out from underneath him.

Jumping quickly, Vegeta dodged Trunks's kick and landed a blow to his head. Mirai flew across the room and landed in a heap on the other side.

'Finally' Vegeta thought. 'That was almost a challenge.'

Walking over and slinging Mirai's arm around his shoulder he began to drag his son out of the room. He knew he was supposed to call the woman to come over and inject him right away.but he, in probably the only moment of compassion in his life, decided to take him to the lab first, so he could be put in to a regeneration tank soon.

'That woman better be right about this.'

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



The occupants of the room turned around with stunned looks on their face as Vegeta half-dragged half-carried an unconscious Mirai Trunks into the room and sat him in a swivel chair. He looked up at them and grunted, motioning Bulma to go ahead and inject him.

Bulma picked up the needle and walked to her motionless son. A motherly instinct told her that it was for the best; at least he couldn't feel it while he slept. Turning to ask a question, she realized she didn't have to. Marron was already there, swiping a patch of skin on his arm with an alcohol swab.

Bulma lifted the needle and gently injected him with the cure. They were all holding their breaths, just hoping.
