Episode 73: Forgiveness and Love

    On the last episode of Dragon Ball F, we found out the true reason why Gogeta couldn't ascend to Super Saiyan 5 when he fought the Megasaiyan. It seemes that both Goku's and Vegeta's body have reached their limit, so no matter how hard they train, they can't get any stronger. And if they should try, they would risk destroying themselves by the overwhelming power. Also, last time, an unexpected visitor from Krillin's past showed up at the Kame House, which will cause some discomfort to him and his family...

    No one said a word; they just all stood there at the door: Maron outside, Number 18 inside, while Krillin in between. The other Marron, the daughter, was sitting at the table watching the adults worried while sensing that the tension was rising higher and higher. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she knew it couldn't be anything good.

-Ok, this is awkward.-Maron started-May I come in?-she asked, while Krillin looked behind him towards his wife, waiting her to respond instead.
-Why not?-18 answered and after going inside and reaching the table where they were previously having dinner, she continued-Meet MY daughter, Marron.-she said, putting an accent on the word "my."
-Neat.-Maron said happily towards Number 18's( ! ) daughter-I guess we're like name sisters.
-Guess so...-Marron replied, noticing how dull the woman is.
-Krillin, may I have a word with you...in private?-Number 18 asked her husband with fierce eyes.
-Do I have a choice?-Krillin responded frightened, then they both went upstairs to their room.
-What the hell, Krillin?!-18 immediately started to yell, as soon as she closed the door behind her-You never mentioned you had a girlfriend before me...
-Well, I never thought she was worth mentioning; we only dated each other for a short while.
-Apparently, she meant a lot for you, since you named MY daughter after her!
-That has nothing to do with it; I just thought it was a beautiful name for a girl to have. I even removed an "r" to make it more unique. Besides, it's way better than what you suggested to name her. Imagine her being named Number 8! I'm sure all of her friends at school would have made fun of her and nicknamed her Eighter or something.
-So, whatever happened between you two anyway?-18 asked, changing the subject rapidly, cause she knew he was right about the naming part.
-Nothing! We only dated each other for a few months. Then she dumped me...sort of.
-Of course she did. She's nothing but a skank, you deserved better.
-Strange, that's what I thought back then too, but the other way around. But you're right, 18. I do deserve someone better than her, and that someone is you. You're the one for me, and our daughter proves it. Otherwise, you would have also dumped me long ago.
-Nonetheless, I'm really angry with you, Krillin! I just hope our daughter will be as forgiving as I am.-when Krillin heard the word "our", he knew he was off the hook; at least by his wife.
-Thank you, Number 18.-he smiled, while his wife smiled back, then giving him a short kiss on his lips; after that, she added:
-Let's just hope she hasn't reconsidered herself after all those years and she's her to take you back...for hers sake.-while Krillin swallowed hard, knowing that that's exactly why she came back.

   
    In Satan City, we see Number 17, Master Roshi and Oolong walking on street, searching for some female "preys." Just then, they saw a big crowd of women staring at a 4000:1 wide billboard where there was an image of a naked man and a woman with their intimate body parts hidden mimicking sex underwater filled with exotic fish, corals and plants. There was a small newly invented revolutionary device attached to their nose, which allowed them to breathe in the water. Above the image, it was written in big red words "Amusement Lust", and underneath it, there was a banner, saying: "A place where you don't just have sex; you have fun while doing it. Yo can DO IT underwater, in the air, even on the roller coaster! Do you dare you to test your limits? We guarantee, you will be burning with satisfaction!" Most of the women looking at the billboard were utterly disgusted of how far a human's imagination could go just to try out new ways of "doing it." However, a few thought it was quite a daring idea and could hardly wait to try it out with their boyfriends or husbands. As Master Roshi and the others approached the crowd, he started:

-Number 17, let me show you how to properly ask a woman out. It's all about using the right words.-then he approached a red-haired chick standing in the middle of the crowd-Hey there, sweetie pie! How's about you and me test our limits out together? Heck, we can "do it" in space, if you want. Let's show these people how to "rock and roll", baby! Oh, yeah!-unfortunately, for Master Roshi, the woman was part of the crowd that disliked doing such things out of lust and after hearing Roshi's "speech", she slapped his face so hard, that his newly bought modern sunglasses broke into pieces.
-I guess you used the wrong words.-Oolong added, making the women behind him to giggle.
-Allow me to try it.-Number 17 volunteered, then he picked a brunet from the other end of the crowd, who was also against the idea of the new carnival or amusement park, whatever, which recently opened, but 17 was prepared for that-What propustuos things can a man achieve with his mind! I'd rather go out on a nice dinner rather than do such perverted things.
-Me too...-the woman responded, and after seeing with whom she was talking to, her eyes started to twinkle and her heart started beating more rapidly.
-So, what do you say? You and me? Tonight, at seven o' clock? You pick the place...-while the woman blushed; then she immediately pulled out a card with her phone number on it and gave it to 17:
-Call me!-then she excitedly hurried away, already thinking what to wear at the dinner.
-Well, it seems, it was 17 who showed YOU how to really treat the ladies.-Oolong said with a smirk towards Master Roshi.
-I guess so...-Master Roshi said sadly and disappointed of himself with a burning red cheeck on his left side.

   
    Somewhere at a lake near Mount Paozu, we see Goku fishing alone with a bored look on his face. He wasn't really fishing either. Whenever he caught a fish, he would pull the fishing net out of the water, grab the fish and throw it back in. Then he put some more bait on the net and do it over and over again. If someone would have seen him, he would think that Goku was actually feeding the fish. Before Goku even realised it, Chi-Chi was sitting next to him with a sad smile her face:

-Bulma called...-she started-She told my what was really going on with you and Vegeta lately.
-It's not that you didn't know it all along.-Goku replied slowly as if he was sleepy or something.
-But the Goku I know would never lay around and do nothing. He would always search for an adventure, a way to have fun, or do something useful, not waste time like this.
-In the past everything was so much simpler. Now everyone is grown up, have their own family to take care of or friends to hang out with; they are always busy. And since its useless for me to train anymore, I have nothing to do then to wait to grow old and pass away to the Other World.
-That's not true, you've still got me. Why do you always forget about me?!
-I'm sorry, Chi-Chi. I know I've been a terrible husband for you. I've been away from you a lot, now haven't I? You should have married someone else a long time ago, I'm sure the kids would have understood it.
-No, Goku. I married you for the same reason you married me: because I love you and no matter where you are or how far away you are, I will always do. Besides, it's my fault that you died the second time, so I should be the one apologizing.
-What do you mean, Chi-Chi?
-Ever since Gohan was born, all I did was to force him to study and nothing more. Even though he admit that he was never into fighting, I wonder if it was because of my influence on him. If I wouldn't have kept him from training, he would have killed Cell immediately and you wouldn't have to die again. It was then I promised myself not to make the same mistake with Goten and let him live his life freely and become whatever he wanted to be. I'm so sorry, Goku...-then tears began flowing from her eyes.
-No, Chi-Chi! Don't cry! I also did a bad thing by forcing Gohan into fighting, so I also failed raising him properly. Besides, that day Gohan also made a mistake by being cocky and torturing Cell, instead of finishing him off right away. Huh! We should be named the Son Mistakes family.-at which both of them laughed-I'm sure our sons came out just the way they should have, because their both happy. And after being reunited with my father, I should also be happy and not feeling sorry for myself.-then he stood up-You're right, Chi-Chi! I was completely wasting my time.-then he threw all the bait from the bucket into the lake, while the fish, of course, couldn't be more happier.-I may have been all around the world before and seen it's beauties, and on some other planets too, but that doesn't mean I can't do it again. Adventure lays everywhere, I just have to look for it. Besides, during my travel I've met many good friends which I haven't seen for ages. Upa, Eighter, Snow, and that weird girl from Penguin Village...I felt their energy given to the Spirit Bomb with which I destroyed Majin Buu. Thus I was remembered of them, yet I still haven't bothered to visit them. I should be ashamed with myself...-then he looked down at his wife and stretched out his right hand towards her-Chi-Chi, will you fly with me on the Nimbus Cloud, to go on a little adventure of our own? Just the two of us, flying as far as our eyes can see, visiting the planet's every corner for the last time. What do you say?-at which Chi-Chi wiped her tears, grabbed her husbands' hand and also stood up happily:
-I would love to, Goku.-and after kissing his lips passionately, she continued-I haven't seen my father for quite some time. I hope he's ok.
-Let's find out, together!-Goku responded, then he looked up in the sky and shouted-Flying Nimbus!!!-after a very short while, the Nimbus cloud appeared out of nowhere, "landing" near the couple-Flying Nimbus, take us around the world! But slowly, we don't want to miss anything.-he said smiling towards his wife, then they both jumped on the cloud and flew away into the distance, embarking on a journey of their life-time...
