The Secret of the Enchantress

Chapter 6: Granting the Wishes

        When Bulma opened her eyes, she saw Goku standing over her, with a worried look on his face. "Are you okay, Bulma?" He asked. Bulma sat up and held her head saying, "Yeah, I guess." She stood up and almost fell backwards weakly. Goku caught her and said, "Are you sure?" The cloudiness in Bulma's head began to dissipate and she replied. "Yes. How is Gohan?" Goku looked down at his son and said, "He hasn't waken up yet. I tried slowing down the more. "All right." Goku said, going up to the dragonballs. He held his hands together in front of him and looked up at the now darkening sky. Then he focused on the dragonballs and yelled, "Eternal Dragon, by your name I summon you forth: Shenron!"

        The dragonballs started to glow once more then a great burst of light came out of them. The light flew up into the foggy sky and turned into a long green slender dragon. It's long length wrapped around the mountains and it's red eyes glowed. I am the Eternal Dragon. You may have two wishes. Choose them wisely." Goku looked up at Shenron and yelled, "Shenron, please. Heal my badly injured son to the way he was before the dragonball hunt! That is my first wish!" "Your wish has been granted." The dragon replied as his eyes flashed once. At that time Bulma looked down and saw Gohan's side wound closing up. Within minutes he began to breathe. "Gohan, are you okay now?" She asked, seeing Gohan's eyes opening. As Bulma helped him up, Gohan answered, "Yeah, I'm fine. Did we get the last dragonball?" Bulma nodded as she said, "Yes, we did. Shenron is here now."

        Goku smiled as he saw his son stand up, wobbily but still up, then frowned as the dragon reminded them, "You still have one wish left. Choose it." Goku thought for a while, then looked at Bulma and had a idea. He looked up at Shenron and said, "Hold on for just a minute." He ran off towards Bulma and Gohan. Bulma looked at Goku in question as he kneeled down beside her and said, "Bulma, I want you to have the last wish. You have a problem that you must solve. Maybe a wish might help you solve it." Seeing Bulma's surprised face, he asked, "Do you want to make a wish?"

        Bulma looked up at her loyal friend and noticed his eyes were filled with concern and care. She then nodded and replied, "Yes, I do." Goku smiled then helped her up saying, "Then go for it." Bulma nodded, walked up to the dragon, summoned up her courage and yelled, "Shenron! Recently I have gotten mysterious magical powers and the knowledge and power to use them. I wish to know more about my past and ancestry. I want to know why I have powers. Please grant my wish." Shenron's eyes flashed red once more as he said, "It is granted." Bulma instantly saw images in her head. People she didn't know, spells she could use, places she had never been and she also felt many different feelings. Then a burst of light brought her back to reality. She smiled and cried out. "Thank you, Shenron!" Shenron blinked and replied, "You're welcome. Farewell." Shenron then turned bright then separated into the seven dragonballs, spreading them all around the world once more. The sky became bright and the atmosphere was quiet.

        Bulma sighed and smiled. Gohan looked around and said, "So what did you find out? I didn't see anything happen." The cold breeze blew the hood off of Bulma's head, revealing her turquoise lengths as she said. "I know. I just saw different things. I now know how to find out about my past. Come on, let's go home." Gohan and Goku nodded, then the 3 people found their way back to the plane and took off. On the way home, Bulma looked over at Goku who was shedding his snowsuit and asked, "What were you going to wish for the second time, Goku?" Goku put his snowsuit in the back with a sleeping Gohan, then looked at Bulma and answered. "Oh, I don't know...maybe food." "FOOD?!" Bulma asked astonished. "That's all? Chi-Chi could have made you food!" Goku looked up in thought then replied, "Yeah, but I could have wished for a lifetime supply of food!" Bulma just stared at him in surprise. Goku, oblivious to Bulma's stare, yawned and said, "Man, I'm bushed. Tell me when we get home, Bulma." Bulma shook her head at the hopeless man and smiled saying, "Sure thing, Goku." The plane took off towards home.

        Bulma landed her plane quietly outside her house, then got out. It was silent except for the sounds of beams flying. Bulma looked towards the Gravity Room. Vegeta was still training. "I wonder if he knows that I am here." Bulma said, putting her plane back in the capsule. Afterwards she walked towards the GR, anxious feelings all around her. When she got to the door of the Gravity Room, she pushed on the button outside and called out, "Vegeta?". Soon the humming sounds that the GR was omitting stopped and a few minutes later, Bulma found herself staring in the black eyes that she had missed too much. Vegeta was stoic but inside he breathed a sigh of relief. 'I could have swore something had happened to her..." He thought to himself. "Welcome home, Woman." he said, putting a white towel over his neck. Bulma smiled a weary smiled and replied, "It's good to be home."

        The two stared for a good while before Bulma wrapped her arms around Vegeta's neck. Vegeta was surprised for a moment but then wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her tight to him. When they separated, Bulma moved a string of her hair out of her eyes saying, "A lot of things have happened." Vegeta nodded and as they started walking to the house said, "Tell me...after you cook me dinner. I'm almost about to die of starvation." Bulma looked at him in confusion as she said, "Where's Mom and Dad?" Vegeta shrugged then replied, "They went on some vacation or something. Said they would be back in about a month or so." Bulma shrugged then felt her eyes falling in complete tiredness. She hadn't gotten the sleep she needed for the whole dragonball hunt. She staggered a step and Vegeta noticed. "Woman, have you gotten any sleep at all?" He asked, coming closer to her. Bulma shook her head and Vegeta picked her up smoothly saying, "I'm taking you to your room." Bulma struggled to get out of his grip saying, "Vegeta don't be silly. I'm..." She yawned and collapsed right back into his arms.

        Vegeta calmly took Bulma into the house and up into her room. He put her inside her bed and covered her up with her covers. Then he looked at her sleeping face and said, "I guess I have to look for something to eat again in this damn house." He turned and left out of her room. As he did, Bulma smiled and snapped her fingers. When Vegeta came into the dining room, a huge plate of spaghetti and meatballs was waiting for him. Vegeta smirked, knowingly.
