with her !!" Both had stopped fighting.A stone fell from Trunks' heart. He hadn't slept with Bra, he hadn't. Trunks was relieved. He couldn't help but rub his friend with joy. Son Goten was surprised. , Wow! How happy he is. He still cares a lot about his past love. , The push was only very brief, Trunks was almost embarrassed. But the fight was over.

"Tie?"

“Yes, a tie.” They both got up and flew in the direction of home. Both relieved, Trunks, because now he had also heard from Son Goten that he hadn't slept with Bra and Son Goten because he now seems to know why Trunks was so weird all along. At first he had decided not to befriend the girl at all anymore. He didn't have time anyway, after all he would still have to bravely try to see if Bra might still want to meet him. It would have been nice to find out who is stronger, but the two knew that such a fight could only end bloody and they didn't want that.









Bra meanwhile lay in her bed and stared at the wall. She wished for Chibi back, then she would at least have someone to talk to. She heard a voice outside her room.

"Bra? Can I come in?" The voice sounded familiar, and yet strange. Bra hadn't recognized her straight away, but now it hit her like lightning, her heart racing.

That was this Maron, this woman who claims she is her mother. Bra didn't know whether she should come in or say nothing. She quickly sat up on her bed. Plucked her hair straight and looked down at herself. She was still wearing her sleeping clothes. She didn't have time to move either, so she decided to slip back into her bed.

The door opened slowly, its creaking couldn't be ignored. Bra was scared.











Part 12









"I ....... ehm don't know exactly how to start ......... well" The woman with the blue hair and the almost perfect figure looked very familiar to Bra.She didn't want to admit it to herself, but inside she knew that this woman could very well be her mother. Even Bulma and Vegeta didn't deny it.

Bra sat up in her bed and looked sternly at Marron. There was no trace of loving affection in her eyes. You'd think they exuded hatred. Hate to have brought Bra out of this wonderful family. Hate that this woman is now sitting in her room. She thought maybe this woman was going to leave, but she didn't. They both looked each other in the eye. Marron broke the silence:



“You've grown so big, almost grown up.” Bra couldn't hold her gaze any longer. She looked out the window. 'What is this woman doing here? Why is she doing this to me? ,

"B ..... bra?", She doesn't seem to like the name. , Bra did not answer her.

“Oh!” Marron took a deep breath, Bra watched her out of the corner of his eye. , She seems nice. And how young she is!In contrast to mom, anyway. You must have got me really very young. And then with Jamshu. , Bra fell over Eckel more easily. He was no good in her eyes. She didn't know why she thought like that, but the mere thought of being Jamshu's daughter made Bra shiver.



"Mh ..... you don't seem very talkative. Bra" Marron leaned forward a little and Bra pulled himself together. She looked at them again. Still she didn't say a word.



"I would like to invite you, we can go to the cinema, or go shopping, or do something else. I know that it took you by surprise. Bulma told me that you know. Bra ..... I would love to take you with me "She hesitated a little further because she didn't see any reaction on Bra's face. Meanwhile, Bra’s thoughts raced into an aimless nothing. , Take away !! TAKE!!! She can't do that! How! , Bra panicked a bit, but didn't show anything. Her stomach contracted again.Everything hurt her. She didn't know what to do. So she'd rather not say anything.



"You know, I live a long way from here. And I would like you to come with me. I can't stay here long, my vacation won't be long. I want to get to know you better and make amends for everything I did to you have. "What is she supposed to have done to me? She gave me to this family and I love this family everywhere, and now she wants to take this family away from me again? WHY, Bra hasn't looked her in the eye for a long time. She stared motionless out the window.



"But ...... I know that you certainly don't want to leave here, to a stranger." Bra heard a small laugh.

"But ..... we don't have to stay strangers. Do you understand? I've already realized that I can't just drag you out of the family. Bra ..... I want ..." She looked at Marron . Bra saw lines on her forehead, she was probably thinking.Marron looked up and smiled gently at her.

"Bra! Let's become friends! I want to know everything about you and explain to you why I ... well ..... wasn't there for you." Bra was withdrawn. She heard and understood all the words, but she was incapable of reacting. She was confused. Everything was too much. So this Marron didn't want to take her family away from her, she wanted to make friends with her. , She has something loving. Maybe we should really do something - and what if mom has something against it? No, she had let Marron come to me. Nevertheless! I do not know. Oh, I would like to talk to someone on the outside! I so desperately need someone to talk to. The distance to my best friend, the matter of Trunks! I .........,

Bra couldn't stop thinking. Maron got up and headed for the door. She smiled at Bra again. "Well! I don't want to bother you any longer, you are sick and need rest.I will call you. Ciauiii! "

Bra mumbled a "yes, ciau" but it was too quiet to hear Maron.



The door closed and Bra collapsed on the bed. , ill! I'm supposed to be sick! Maybe I am - emotionally at least. I'm getting ready about the whole thing. , Bra looked at her alarm clock. Half past 11th, I missed dinner - completely forgotten. I'd better stay home tomorrow. I could

but don't concentrate anyway.







Lili couldn't sleep, she had a bad feeling. She looked around. The fire was still burning, but she was so cold. Then she heard Son Goku's snoring and she had already prepared to stay up all night, but suddenly he stopped. Lili breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes, hopefully she will fall asleep soon.











Part 13











"Wake up"
"Not ..." Lili wrapped herself in her sleeping bag, the only thing she had in terms of warmth, but now she felt, with the waking of her senses, that the temperatures had risen a lot again. It's really warm.

"Liliiiiiii! Come on, finally get up." Lili didn't come around, she had to pull herself up now.

“It's okay.” She sat up in the sleeping bag and rubbed her eyes. Her back and everything else ached and then she remembered that terrible night. The bad situation and then her nightmares had bothered her a lot. The sun was shining on her face and she felt blinded. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around. Son Goku was in front of her and smiled at her.



“It's about time!” He turned away and went to the fire. "Correctly Stone Age-like"

“What?” Lili glared at Son Goku. "What do you think? That! Sitting by a fire and living in the wild." Son Goku laughed out loud."Oh Lili! You'll have to get used to that." Lili let her gaze wander again. The view was lovely. She saw the little water stream and the lake and got an idea.

"You, I'll go through the valley. You don't mind, do you?"

"Um ..... yes, actually. Oob will arrive right away with breakfast and if you want something, you should stay here." He heard disappointment on Lili's face.

"I see! Does the training start today?" Son Goku smiled

"Yes! Tell me, didn't Oob train you before?" Lili shook her head slightly.

"No! I taught myself everything except the basics."

"Aha, and can you fire energy balls?" Lili was sad.

"Mh ..... I killed two people ....... no, two ..... soldiers." Son Goku's smile disappeared. He was well aware that Lili did not kill these "beings" out of boredom. He figured it had to be self-defense, but the subject was too sensitive.He stopped asking.





"Bra? Are you all right?" Bulma seemed concerned.

"Yes mom. Everything is fine." Bra spoke this sentence and fought back her tears.

"Honey! You have something!" Bra couldn't go on. She fell into Bulma's arms and sobbed.

"I'm ....... I'm not fine. Mom ..." Bra looked at her with a tear in her face.

"Please, I can ..." Bulma understood.

"Of course you stay at home first. You have a fever and that alone is reason enough. I'll m ... no ... I mean, I'll call Alaine so she can always bring you your homework. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. "Bra was happy. Her mother understood. She couldn't tell Bulma. She couldn't and didn't want to. But Bulma must have guessed something, otherwise she would have wanted to call Marron. She knew that Maron Bra's best friend is, or rather was. Bra wasn't so sure.Thinking gave her a headache. , I'm sure I have the flu,

"Bra? Because of ...... well ........ your birth mother ..... did you talk to her?"

"Mh ...... she wants to get in touch. Is ... you okay?" Bulma kissed Bra on the hot forehead.

"You are my child! Even if she is your birth mother, I am still your real mother and you are my daughter. I love you." Bulma gave her another squeeze and then went towards the door.



"Thank you!"

"Oh! So, now you lie down again and sleep." Bra did what she ordered. The tablets Bulma gave her worked. Bra fell asleep immediately.
