Alethea stood staring at the spot her mother had just been.

"What am I going to do about Tae Bulma?" She asked softly.

"Where is he?" She asked.

"Baba's."

The door opened and Trunks walked in looking at the two of them.

"Well see if you can bring him here. It's the least I could do for Gohan and Lee."

"Hey mom what's up?" Trunks asked. He stopped and looked at the controller.

Bulma looked at him. "Now where have you been for the past TWO WEEKS?!"

He jumped and looked at her and rubbed the back of his neck. "I've been training to keep my super saiyan powers in control. It's not easy." He replied and swallowed.

Alethea smirked and crossed her arms looking at him. "Well all your mother need is one more part and that controller there is the end to all our problems."

Trunks looked at her. "But it's just a box."

Bulma sighed. "You're like your father Trunks honestly."

Trunks looked at Bulma. "Sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing."

Alethea smiled. "Heck yeah. C'mon Trunks Mr. Super Saiyan, what I wouldn't give for that kind of power." She said.

"If I train hard enough, maybe I can become strong enough to beat them, and we won't need the controller." Trunks said.

"You're training with me because I want to learn how to go super saiyan." Alethea said walking up to him and prodding him in the chest. "I have to have something to train my brother to aspire to."

"Brother?" Trunks blinked.

Bulma smiled. "It seems Leona and Gohan left a legacy behind Trunks."

Trunks blinked again. "A child?"

Alethea nodded proudly. "Totally. He's more saiyan."

"And Pan?" Trunks asked looking at Bulma.

"She's still with Chi-chi. Alethea was telling me Tae is with Baba."

"My mom has a thing with leaving her kids with another witch."

"Well lets get him then. I have to see for myself." Trunks remarked.

I stood there with my arms crossed watching King Kai rolling round on the ground with laughter from the joke I told. I blinked and looked at Goku.

"I didn't really think it was that funny."

Krillen shook his head. "Lee it wasn't. That was Lame."

"Oh that's good." I replied.

I looked at Gohan. "How long will he stay laughing like this for?" I asked.

"At least five more minutes." A voice remarked from behind.

I looked over to see Yamcha landing on the ground from the snakeway above.

"Yamcha!" I smiled and ran up to him and gave him a large hug, he wrapped his arms round me and smiled.

"You just can't stay away. Can you?" He smiled.

"Actually Bulma sent me. I'm on a mission."

"I know." Yamcha replied.

"Yeah. I was talking to South Kai on Grand Kai's planet. He used the instant transmission to get me here to see you."

"Alethea says hi."

Yamcha blinked. "Really? How's she doing?"

"As good as teenage girls can do when influenced by Bulma." I replied.

I saw Yamcha sweatdrop. "Oh."

"Don't worry, she's not really that much in to inventions and stuff, she's got your hard head." I knocked on his forehead for emphasis. "She has those same flighty panic attacks you used to have too. But just add a major case of loving to shopping."

Krillen looked at me. "Soooo is she fighting the androids?"

I looked at him. "Over my dead body she's going to fight them I've seen what'll happen to her if she does!"

Yamcha blinked. "It's bad isn't it?"

"They let her live, in a way..." My voice trailed off and frowned at the memory of the vision of Seventeen turning her in to an android. "I shouldn't of provoked Seventeen."

Goku touched my shoulder and he looked at me.

"Trunks'll sort them out for that. Don't worry, she lives. That's all that matters."

I looked at Yamcha and he looked over as King Kai eventually stood up.

"You'll have to get me a copy of that book of yours." King Kai said.

I nodded slowly. "If I ever get back to my home world, before I die."

King Kai looked at me. "Visions bothering you?"

I nodded. "Yeah I have four years to find Dr. Briefs, I know time doesn't exist here, so that's why I'm in a great hurry. The longer I take the closer I get to the time of my demise. I know Trunks will be able to revive everyone with the use of the Namek and earth dragonballs- but me." I looked at them. "I'd rather spend a few more days training Alethea to live before I spend my eternity here in the otherworld, which might I add, is not how I pictured my afterlife to be spent, until my next carnation."

Goku looked at me. "Are you sure about that Lee? You've seen the future you know how it's going to end. I've seen in to your mind. Why not try to change it?"

I looked at Goku. "I am, I'm trying to do what I was suppose to do and do it faster."

King Kai nodded. "Give me a moment. I'll see if I can locate him."

We all stepped back to give king kai his space as his antennae twitched and he began searching the otherworld universe for the location of Dr. Briefs.

Tae sat in the cot staring up at the two teenagers unsure of what to make of them. Baba floated over on her crystal ball. "So that's Gohan's son?" Trunks asked.

"Yes, I'm thinking if Leona doesn't return to take him to Chi-chi."

"What do you mean return?" Trunks asked and he looked at Alethea.

"She's a witch like me Trunks." Was Baba's only excuse in a reply.

Alethea blinked. "Are you sure about that? Look I can take him if he gets too much. I'm his family... well half family." She said.

Trunks looked at Alethea. "You're fourteen like me what can you do?"

"Look out of the two of us, who's got the stuff here to bare the kids huh?" She questioned Trunks. He blinked and looked at her. Alethea nodded at her point made.

Baba rolled her eyes. "...and the world will be doomed when you two get together and make kids of your own."

"What?" Trunks questioned.

"You heard." Baba said as she floated away from the cot.

Alethea leant in and Tae reached up and grabbed her pinky in his hand. "He's s cute... I want one of my own." She sighed.

"What now?!"

"No silly not now, hello I'm only fourteen remember?"

Trunks went red at the cheeks and looked down.

Alethea picked Tae up. "Hey there T-man I'm ya sister. I'm gunna teach you all the things mom would want you to know, like spells, potions, magick, and beating up the bad guy!" She grinned and bounced Tae in her arms, he gurgled at her and beamed happily at the attention. Trunks sighed and he looked at Alethea and Tae.

"Look at him Trunks. This is the future." She smiled.

Trunks looked at Tae and he gave a slight smile. "He has Gohan's eyes..."

"And his hair." Alethea added. "Check this out." She ruffled Tae's hair up and Tae giggled in reply. Alethea grinned as Tae's hair stuck up at all angles.

Trunks shook his head and sighed.

Bulma walked in and looked at the two of them. "Hey you two."

"Oh hey mom." Trunks said.

"I see you haven't run off again Trunks. That's good."

"Hey Tae say hi this is Bulma, she's a friend of mom's."

Tae gurgled and Bulma smiled. "Look at his hair it's a wild mess." She smiled. "Almost like Goku's if I didn't know better." she added.

"Goku." Alethea turned Tae round and looked at his hair. "You know, you're right I thought it was Gohan's hair. But now that you mention it. It's Goku's that's for sure." She agreed and ruffled Tae's hair some more.

***

I sat down under the tree next to Yamcha and I saw Gohan looking over at us. "How's she doing seriously?" Yamcha asked.

I smiled. "Seriously? She can't take anything serious. You can ask Gohan on that. But she's good. I feel bad for leaving her behind."

"Trunks is with her. I'm sure he'll take care of her." Yamcha replied.

I looked at him. "It hurts knowing that when I got those androids-" I stopped.

Yamcha nodded slowly. "I know. But everything will be okay."

I watched King Kai as he stood off alone on his little area of the planet his antennae still twitching like mad. At the rate he was going it could take forever to find Dr. Brief's afterlife cloud like essence or spirit. The otherworld wasn't exactly small.

Yamcha gave me a hug. "She'll always have someone there who cares for her no matter what Lee don't worry."

I smiled and nodded. "I just wish that we both could of been there while she was growing up."

Yamcha smiled. "It would of been nice. You me and Alethea, and you never know probably another kid or two." He nudged me and I couldn't help but laugh.

"That would be tragedy could you imagine what you're son would be like?" I asked then frowned. "Good Gods... but not in this reality...LUCKILY. But you it's comforting to think somewhere out there in the multiverse's it's probably already happened."

I looked down and Yamcha stood up. "I'll let Gohan come over here I think he wants to." I nodded and Yamcha motioned Gohan over.

He blinked and looked surprised and wandered over. Yamcha patted him on the back.

"I'll leave you two to it eh?" He grinned teasing and walked off.

I smiled as Gohan went red in the cheeks I blinked and shook my head. "It feels weird. Yamcha doing that." I remarked.

Gohan nodded and he sat down where Yamcha had been.

"Yeah. Like he's accepted us."

"You know he hinted at you and me. And he was right yet I'm the one with the visions." I remarked.

Gohan looked over at Goku with Krillen the two of them joking about, Goku with Krillen in a head lock and rubbing his bald head.

I smiled as Gohan laughed. I felt it was a genuine laugh, like a release of sorts.

"It's almost as if the entire thing never happened." Gohan said softly.

I looked at Goku and I couldn't help but smile. I saw him look up at me. I almost read Goku's eyes, they were intense a certain passion racing through them for a moment. Before Krillen sweeped his feet out from under him causing the two to fall over. Krillen unfortunate for him, landed under Goku's weight. Which I knew from experience was more heavier than the average human.

Gohan took my hand. "I can feel my dad still cares for you." He said softly.

I looked at Gohan and blinked. He nodded at me. "I... ah..."

"It's okay, everything goes full circle it's a sign of things beginning and ending. I know when the group of us get revived you or my dad won't be with us, so it's only natural you two would be best together."

"Do I feel like a pass the parcel or what?" I drooled sarcastically.

"What's a pass the parcel?" Gohan blinked.

"It's a game where you have a parcel and you pass it round in a circle and when the music stops the kid with the parcel takes a layer of wrapping off and then it's passed round again and that's applied, till eventually the last kid who unwraps the last layer get to keep what's in the parcel." I explained.

Gohan rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend."

I sighed." This was why it took forever for me to let you and me become anything. I knew there would be a moment where I'd be stuck somewhere with the three of you. And it makes me uneasy. I feel I can't show my true feelings without the other getting jealous." I replied and leant up against the tree.

Gohan looked at me. "Who do you care for?"

I looked at Gohan. "I care for all three of you."

Gohan nodded slowly. "Yeah. But I just wanted to know-"

"Who I care for more?" I finished.

Gohan went red in the cheeks. "Um... yeah."

"I can't answer that. I can't play favorites. Each of you are like different stages of my life. Goku was the one who saved my life. I owe him that. Otherwise like Namek I would no longer exist. Yamcha was the one that showed me how selfish I'd been in my love life. How I had not expressed how I really felt before it was too late. And you showed me that there are more ways than one way to look at the problem. And that despite past problems it's good to open up again. To have that feeling there." I explained.

King Kai let out a breath. "Lee there's a bit of a problem..."

I stood up. "There is?" I asked worriedly.

"Yes I can't seem to find him."

I shook my head. "You've got to be kidding me? It's important. I have a vision King Kai I had the remote completed in my hand. I held it I have to find him."

My voice must of sounded desperate because everybody was looking my way.

King Kai turned round and he looked at me. "He's here in otherworld that I'm aware of. But do you know how big otherworld is?" He asked.

I shook my head. "Not from personal experience. But I do know about the four quadrants the Grand Kai watching over the whole thing and then the Supreme Kai on top of that." I replied.

King Kai blinked and he looked at me. "You know of the Supreme Kai?" He asked.

Gohan rubbed the back of neck and went red at the cheeks.

"Lee we really don't have to mention what happened there do we?" he asked.

King Kai looked at Gohan. "You two have meet the Supreme Kai?"

"Well it didn't seem like a meeting at first." Gohan replied.

I looked at Gohan. "I'm sure he's gotten over it Gohan. Don't worry." I then turned my attention back to King Kai. "Say King Kai do you think the Supreme Kai could help me on this?" I asked.

King Kai looked at me and Gohan wearily. "What did you two fools do to the Supreme Kai?" He asked.

It sounded like he was getting mad. And Goku as always pointed it out obviously.

"Wow he's getting mad you guys, you two must of done something mad, I haven't seen him this angry since I called the Grand Kai 'The Guy'." Goku remarked.

I blinked and looked at Goku. "Wait you called the Grand Kai the guy?" I asked.

Goku nodded. "Yeah."

"Here?"

"Yes?"

"In this otherworld?" I asked.

"Yes."

I smirked. "Goku that was quiet stupid of you. He's the Grand Kai."

So some of the timeline still matched up kind of with the original dbz timeline that was pretty amazing.

Goku smirked back at me. "Well King Kai's going a shade of red so he must be mad that you two insulted the Supreme Kai in person."

"But we didn't insult him." Gohan replied.

"Yeah Gohan A-ssulted him." I said.

King Kai suddenly exploded. "YOU DID WHAT?!?! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO THE SUPREME KAI???? HE IS AFTER ALL THE SUPREME KAI!!!!"

Gohan and I jumped at the explosion.

"Oh wow... he looks pissed." I whispered to Gohan.

Gohan nodded. "I think my training might be put on hold for a while."

"I think we should mention to King Kai, that the Supreme Kai did kinda just grab me and you thought he was abducting me." I said loudly enough for King Kai to hear.

Goku blinked. "The Supreme Kai came after you?"

I tapped Gohan's claim mark on the side of my neck.

"He helped me move on Goku." I said.

Goku looked at the mark then he looked at me and I think he knew automatically that even though it was in a simular spot where he'd claimed me the mark there was no longer his. Goku looked at Gohan. I saw Gohan shuffle his feet nervously it was almost like he was that nervous child for a second there.

"I should make you wait Lee." King Kai said in a scolding voice.

I blinked. "But I wasn't the one who did it! I have to get back I've left my daughter behind... how can I train her when I have to wait?"

King Kai crossed his arms. "You should of thought of that before you-"

"Look King Kai you have to help Lee out. I know it angers you. But that's my daughter too..." Yamcha said quickly.

King Kai looked at Yamcha and he sighed defeated. "Oh fine fine fine, just leave me alone and I'll see if I can locate him elsewhere in the other world."

I smiled as king Kai wandered off in the other direction of his planet and he stood there for a while before his antennae began to twitch.

I looked round. "Say where is Tien and Chaoitsu?" I asked.

"Oh they're still on the grand ki's planet training there." Yamcha replied.

I nodded slowly and I looked over at Yamcha wearily. "And Vegeta?" I asked softly.

I heard Piccolo huff from where he was seated under the tree.

"Piccolo knows." Yamcha replied.

"I'm not inquiring for myself... it's just-"

Gohan placed a hand on my shoulder. "For Trunks' sake."

I nodded. "Yeah, the kid's kinda grown on me..."

Gohan looked at me and I saw the seriousness of his expression.

"Look I want you to take care of Trunks when you get back. Even if it's for a short time Lee. Just make sure he's okay."

I nodded at Gohan. "Okay I'll do what I can within my power."

Gohan smiled at me.

"Will you lot be quiet over there I can't locate Dr. Briefs with all your jabbering!" King Kai shouted.

I shut my mouth and bit my lower lip. "Can I came back later? I really have to go train Alethea if I want her to live longer." I said softly and looked at Goku.

"Go right ahead. I'll gives you a heads up ghost style if he locates him."

"Thanks Goku." I smiled at him and placed two fingers to my forehead and locking on to Alethea's power level.

"Tell her I say hi back." Yamcha said to me just before I vanished.

***

Alethea stood on top of Kami look out watching Mr. Popo water the gardens and she turned her attention to the distance as the clouds as they turned pink with the setting sun. She smiled at the sight before her.

"Red sky at night, shepherd's delight." She said softly to herself as if it was a sort of comfort.

"Red sky in the morning... shepherd's warning." A voice spoke from behind her.

Alethea turned round quickly, she blinked seeing her mother instant transmission in.

I smiled at Alethea amazed that she could remember such a small thing. I had only said that once to her when she was a baby, it was on the sunrise of the day the Z team were to head out to fight the androids.

I watched as Alethea ran up to me and she hugged me. I hugged her back.

"Did you see dad?" She asked me excitedly.

I smiled. "Yes I did he's doing fine and say's hi back."

Alethea looked at me. "Just hi?"

"He asked me how you were doing and if you were okay as well... but what does a father say to a fourteen year old teenage girl?" I asked her.

Alethea opened her mouth to reply.

I looked at her. "Apart from that."

Alethea shut her mouth and smiled. She hugged me again.

"You're learning to read minds to huh?" She chuckled.

"I'm no telepath... I was fourteen too." I replied.

Mr. Popo looked over at me. "Welcome back Leona. Was there any luck?"

I shook my head. "Not yet but King Kai is on it."

Alethea looked at me. "Did you see Gohan?" She asked.

I nodded. "Yes. Gohan's fine."

"That's good."

"Now I came back to train you... so what do you say we get down to it?"

"Alright!"

***

Bulma pushed a button on her computer and she watched as the simulator time machine on screen began to fuzz about and she frowned looking at it.

"Hmmmm that's not right... I might need to check the circuitry on that one."

She looked over her shoulder as the door shut and she looked at Trunks.

"Hey mom. You still playing games on that thing?" He asked.

"Funny Trunks... I'm working on this. Lee gave me the idea..."

Trunks nodded and he looked over her shoulder. "That looks a bit large, what is it?"

"A time machine." She replied. "I think we might not be able to save our time but we can save another. What do you think?"

Trunks nodded slowly. "I think it's a good idea... but it'll take some time to make don't you think?" He asked.

Bulma nodded. "I know but time is going to be nothing. It's not like we can go for a walk in the park now can we?"

Trunks nodded "Point taken."

"So where's Alethea?"

"She took off something about, since I'm doing private training, she's going to do it too." He replied and blinked at the design of the time machine.

"Oh I hope you two will be careful out there..."

"We will mom."

"You finished unpacking my car didn't you?"

Trunks nodded and he placed a capsule on the table. "Yeah."

***

After the training with Alethea. I stood by the door where she slept peacefully on the look out in a room. I walked in and pulled the blanket up over her. I pulled out a capsule and I popped the cap and sitting there was a white fluffy bunny.

"This was given to me by some family friends at my mother's funeral. I called him Goten." I said to her and place the bunny under her arm. He was wearing a vest and baggy trousers across the back of the vest was stitched the name Goten. I walked back to the door. "I'll be back when I can to train with you."

I walked out and I saw Goku standing there swinging on his heels.

Goku grinned at me as I walked out and up to him.

"Has King Kai located him?" I asked.

Goku looked at me. "Well no but I felt your training end."

I looked at Goku side ways. "And..." I asked.

He smirked at me and I knew what was running through that head of his.

"You want someone to train with don't you?" I asked.

"If you've got time."

"Well I shouldn't have time but while waiting for King Kai I do." I replied.

"Great c'mon I know the perfect place." Goku grabbed my hand and suddenly instant transmissioned us out of there.

We arrived on the Grand Kai's planet and I started thumping Goku the minute we arrived and he looked at me. "Whoa hey ow Lee!!"

"Some warning would of been nice!!!!" I exploded. "I hate it when you do that and don't give me any warning!!!"

I heard a familiar snicker and I looked over to see Vegeta standing there his arms crossed and he smirked at the two of us.

"Typical Kakarott you can't seem to try to stay away from her."

"Hey Vegeta." Goku grinned.

I let out a defeated anime breath.

"So what are you two doing here?" Vegeta asked.

I looked at him he did seem a bit nicer than normal.

"Me and Lee are going to get some training in isn't that right?"

I nodded slowly. "Yeah." I replied.

Vegeta laughed. "I doubt it." he turned round and walked off.

"I hate him at times." I sighed.

Goku smiled at me. "Hey don't worry about Vegeta lets just spar!"

I nodded and Goku lead me over to a secluded spot we could train.

He nodded at me. "Ready?"

I nodded and dropped back in to a defence stance.

Goku charged at me and I prepared my self and the blow came and I blocked it I felt the ground shake with the impact and I looked at Goku as he grinned at me and I pushed him back and dropped down and slid through his legs and on the ground I spun round going for a sweep Goku jumped up and flew up in to the air.

"So it's going to be that kinda fight huh?" I asked.

I powered up and flew up in to the air after him.

The battle became stronger as we attacked and fought in a fury of fists and legs. With each hit I could hear the echo of a bang sound as it reached across the plains of the Grand Kai's planet.

"How is that?" I stopped at hearing the voice.

And Goku got a good hit in and I went spiralling downward I stopped moments before the impact of the ground and I hoovered there. I floated up and looked at the sudden group of spectators. I then saw in the distance the Grand Kai standing there.

He smiled at me. "You're not dead are you? Yet you train here."

I felt Goku lower himself down behind me. "Oh hi Grand Kai this is Lee."

He nodded. "Waiting on King Kai are you?" He asked.

I smirked. "He sent you a help me message didn't he?" I asked.

The Grand Kai nodded. "Your good doctor friend is in the otherworld."

I nodded. "And?" I asked.

"I have no clue where he is either."

I sighed. "This is great, at this rate I'll die of old age before I find him."

"Perhaps I could be of assistance." I looked over to see Shin hoovering there Kibito standing behind him securely. The Supreme Kai floated up to where I was.

I landed on the ground so not to make myself too much taller than him.

"Why would you want to help me after- errrr last time?" I asked him.

"You have a good respect for time and letting it run it's course. You know your fate and you've accepted it, yet you still travel the same path to help those who need it."

I rubbed the back of my neck. "Uummm thanks."

I felt Goku take my other hand and I looked at him.

I waited for Shin to speak again. "Your doctor friend. I can let him have his body till you two have finished with those plans of yours."

I opened my mouth to ask Shin a question but then I shut it again.

"This great evil you've been forewarned about. You will not be around to fight it." He replied to the question I had stopped myself from asking.

"Is it-" I began.

"No Majin Buu is locked away safely." He replied.

"Oh that's good. But can I ask-"

"I can't tell you that. You must understand that this is not your fight, you need not concern yourself with it." Shin said.

I nodded slowly. "Right. Gotcha."

'Man talk about cutting someone off before they can finish speaking. That's really annoying.' I thought. I saw the look Shin gave me and I rubbed the back of my neck. 'Ooopps stupid, stupid, stupid, he's a telepath.' I mentally scolded myself.

Shin motioned me to follow him. "I'll take you to the doctor."

I looked at Goku. He smiled.

I think he knew I was going to ask if he was going to come with me on this.

"This is your mission Lee not mine. But we'll finish this match you can count on it."

I grinned. "That's for sure. But until then why not entertain yourself with a training session with Vegeta." I said as I began to walk away.

I felt Goku's hand let go. "You becareful when you get back to earth Lee."

"I'll try and that's all I can promise." I said to Goku before following Shin and Kibito.

"See you later." Goku called after me.

I waved at Goku before I fully lost sight of him, man Kibito and Shin moved fast.
