Chapter 5


Parsnipe. It’s been a while since I last truly thought about her. It’s true, I do miss her sometimes. Well, how could I not, I spend 9 months of my life with her. I suppose that if it wasn’t for Bulma I’d still be with her this day. Raising Parawal, helping her with her problems she has because of her tail.

As I think about it, why did she want Parawal to have her tail in the first place. The people at the hospital told me that she didn’t want it to be removed. She had her tail hidden when she came to the tournament. The first time she left C.C. she hid it again. I suppose she was taunt because of it too, but then why? I can’t think of an answer. I suppose it doesn’t matter anymore. She had her tail for so long now, I wont have it be removed anymore anyway.


‘Bulma.’ I jerk up as she crosses my mind, but the pain forces me down right away. ‘Kakkarot said she looked upset, but about what. Would she be sad for causing me to leave, or for calling my daughter a monster?’ As my mind goes trough some possibilities my senses pick up Parawals approach. Damn, she was quick.


“Hey dad, look what I caught.” She says proudly as she drops a dinosaur in front of me.

A big smile is plastered on her face. ‘I wish I could forget stuff like this so easily.’

“What’s the matter dad?”

How could she ask that? Wasn’t she just here when everything happened. Wasn’t she the one I was talking to just now? Shouldn’t she be the one who knew what was the matter. I sigh.

“Where have  you been?”

“Catching our food like you told me to. why? I didn’t go anywhere else if that’s what you think.”

A smile crosses my face for less then a second, but she did see it, and she was confused by it.

“Then it wasn’t that long ago we just talked now was it?”

“Uhm, no.” You could just see the pride fall off of her.

“Then how come you seem to have already forgotten what is wrong with me?”

I add a hmm to that sentence, making sure she’d get that it was more of a rhetorical question.

“Ow, that.”

She drops her head down a little, avoiding eye contact. Again I sigh.

“Never mind.”

She looks up at me and smiles a little, in a ‘I’m sorry and I want to thank you for forgiving me’ way. My thought stops as I take in that smile. She thought I had forgiven her. She was right.

“What’s wrong with me?”

I ask myself just below a whisper.

“I thought you were in that conversation we were having too dad.”

I look up at her. There’s still a smile on her face, though this one is different. This one is more proud, proud of being able to use what I just said against me.


Normally I would have gotten angry at someone for doing that, but now I just give her, what is for me, a friendly look.

“Damn it!”

“Dad, are you ok?”

My eyes lock with hers, spitting fire.

“Do I look ok?”

“Dad, you’re scaring me.”

She wasn’t lying, the look in her eyes was indeed fear.

“Good, at least someone is scared of me.”

“What do you mean? What are you talking about?”

“I, it’s just, arg, nothing. Just go.”

This can’t be happening, first I’m acting kind and now I’m at a lost for words. What the heck is wrong with me?

“Go? Where?”

The more I say, the more confused I get Parawal.

“Go where ever, just leave me the f*ck alone!”

I suppose ever since she opposed to me when I jelled at her, she isn’t intimidated that much by it anymore. Of course she now too knows that she can beat me easily, even when I’m not already beat up by her and she wouldn’t have to hide her massive powers anymore because now she knows that I know.

“Do you really want me to go?”

Her voice is trembling, but yet calm.

“No.”

I answer as simple as I possible could, not caring to explain.

“Then I’ll stay.”

She states just as simply, apparently not even caring about an explanation.

It’s quiet. Parawal is afraid she’s going to say something that will want me that she leaves, and I just don’t have anything to say.


We ate our diner in silence. We watched the sunset in silence. I slowly place my bottom from the rock to the ground and lay down. I place my back to her as I try to catch some sleep.

“Goodnight dad.”

She broke the silence, but I didn’t answer.


The sun has woken me and I raise on my feet. To my surprise I’m still sore from my fight with Parawal. ‘Man she’s strong.’

I push Parawal over with my feet to wake her up as well. She slowly opens her eyes and looks at me confused.

“Dad? What’s wrong, why did you wake me?”

I roll my eyes over her stupid question.

“You didn’t forget about school did you?”

“School? But it’s Saturday today.”

My eyes widen. Damn, I suppose I still don’t have everything sorted out after last night yet.

“Man, I just had like the best dream.”

I look at Parawal.

“Dreams aren’t real, don’t throw your life away on them.”

“I know dad and I wont, don’t worry. It was just so good, mom was there. I know I’ve never seen her but I just knew it was her. She really is beautiful.”

“Yes she is, now get up while I’m getting us some breakfast.”

She looks at me a bit bewildered.

“Are you sure you can?”

Clearly she didn’t expect me to be healed by now.

“Yes, now get up.”

I respond more irritated then I intended to. Though I don’t know why.

I take of and during my hunt, I try to figure out what it is that is wrong with me. ‘Could it be that I miss Parsnipe more then I thought. Ever since Parawal brought her up I’ve been thinking about her constantly.

Damn it she’s even in my dreams now.’ The dream, it was disturbing to say the least. It was like I was quickly reliving those 9 months, of which six had a wall between me and Parsnipe. The end though, was different from reality.

Parsnipe came out of her room, she kissed me. I lifted her up and gently placed her on her bed, positioning myself above her, with my hands on both sides of her waist. I kissed her as I slowly undressed her. Her shirt wasn’t sitting tight or anything like that. It was as if she wasn’t pregnant and never had been.

As I pull down her panties what I see shocks me. Blue curls. I look up at her face, trying to get an explanation from her, but to my surprise, it was bulma’s face, lying on her pillow. I looked around, seeing that we were in Bulma’s room.

“Please come back to me Vegeta.”

She pleaded to me. Then I woke up. I now still can hear Bulma’s voice in side of my head, asking me to come back.
