The oddly silent atmosphere inside the Room of Spirit and Time was shattered by an ear-piercing scream emitted from Emerald, which, needless to say, brought all the Z Senshi scrambling toward the room she was sharing with Juunanagou. Apparently, she had been the only one *not* to have heard about this particular arrangement.
"GOKU!!!!!"
Goku sweatdropped. "Emerald, calm down! It's just Juunangou!" he exclaimed, backing away from the irate Saiyan female.
Emerald growled angrily. "JUST Juunanagou?! GOKU, in case you haven't noticed, I'm a GIRL now, and HE is a-well, he's a HE!!" she yelled, outraged.
"For Kami's sake Emerald, he isn't going to kill you!" Bulma groaned, rolling her eyes in utter annoyance. "He's actually very nice once you get to know him!"
Juunanagou blinked and glanced over at Emerald, slightly confused. "Emerald, I won't touch you I swear!" he promised, raising an eyebrow when she shot him a glare.
"Yeah right!"
Gohan shook his head in disbelief. ~I am not hearing this, I am NOT hearing this...~ he chanted to himself.
Videl giggled softly and led him back to their assigned room. "You poor poor man, what you need is a nice hot bath!"
Trunks and Pan glanced at each other and sweatdropped. ~And more than likely she'll be joining him in it.~
~TRUNKS!! They're my parents for God's sake! Oh God, the mental image!! Dirty thoughts, dirty thoughts!~ Pan wailed, banging her head against one of the walls of the room. Everyone else sweatdropped.
"Emerald, there is nowhere else for you to sleep." ChiChi reasoned, glancing up at Goku. "All of the rest of us are sleeping with our mates, so that only leaves you and Juunanagou!"
Emerald stuck her tongue out at the older woman. "FINE!" she grumbled, pouting angrily. "Goku this is all YOUR fault!"
"Yeah, I know. Sorry about that, Emerald." Goku apologized, giving her a sheepish grin.
Emerald sweatdropped.
"Okayyy then, if that's all, we're going back to our room to uh, take a shower before we train." Trunks spoke up, grabbing Pan's hand and running from the room.
Goku watched them go, then took ChiChi and headed for their room.
Bulma and Vegeta soon followed.
Juunanagou glanced down (o.o) at Piccolo, eyebrows raised. "You didn't have to make such a fuss about it."
She scowled at him. "Shut up! I've been changed into a woman and now 8 of my supposed 'friends' are trying to hook me up with..... well, you!" she cried, hugging a pillow to her chest and resting her chin on it.
He sweatdropped a bit and moved to go into the bathroom, so he wouldn't embarass poor Emerald any further when he changed into his training gi. ~Women..... or is it men? No... Piccolo was asexual anyway...... Good Lord, she sure is moody! But she's gorgeous, too...~ he thought, smirking a bit as he recalled the Saiyan females curvy hour glass figure. ~! Erk, this is PICCOLO for God's sake Juunanagou! Get a grip on yourself!~
And so the days passed. By day they trained non-stop, only breaking when it was absolutely necessary, and by night... well... they ate and then 'trained' some more. Or at least, all the married couples did. And of course, Juunanagou kept having those thoughts about Emerald......
Emerald glared over at Juunanagou. "What are you staring at? Don't you have anything better to do than stare at me for 3 months straight?" she asked, annoyed.
Juunanagou sweatdropped. "Gomen, I didn't mean to, Emerald-chan." he apologized, blushing profusely.
She rolled her eyes and continued to hunt around their room for whatever it was she was looking for. "Yeah, sure. If you have a crush on me just say so, baka!" Her eyes widened and she blushed. ~OH. MY. GOD. Tell me I did NOT just say that! Oh Dende, what did I ever do to you? First I get 'womanized' and now I'm starting to actually like it!~ Emerald shivered. ~No way in hell! I am not going to remain a Saiyan female forever, so I can't let myself get... what's the word..... attached to him. It wouldn't be right, after all, I'm a man!~ She paused, realizing the redundancy of this statement. ~Or I was a man...... no, actually, I just resembled a male by human standards. Technically Namek-jin are both male and female. So does that make it natural for me to be...... attracted to Juunanagou?~ She blushed and shot a glance back at the male Saiyan, who appeared to still be staring at her. He noticed her gaze and quickly turned away, hiding his face behind a book of some sort. ~I...... really wouldn't mind remaining a woman... if it meant that I had someone to love...~
"Ne, Emerald-chan, what would make you think I like you?" he asked uneasily, a crimson blush staining his pale cheeks.
"Let's see..... the way you stare at me, the way you're always hanging out around me...... numerous reasons, really." Emerald replied, slightly amused by the whole situation. ~Could he love me? And..... could I really love him back?~
"Er..."
"You're articulate." she commented, smirk softening into a smile. ~Yes, I know I can. If even Vegeta can find love, then why can't I?~ "And painfully obvious when it comes to your intentions."
Juunanagou blushed even darker, if that was even possible at this point, and looked away. "I-I'm sorry, Emerald-chan."
Emerald smiled and walked over to the bed and sat down beside him, gingerly taking his hands in hers. "It's okay, Juu-kun. I don't mind it at all." she assured him, and with that said, their lips met in a passionate kiss.
"Maybe Grandpa has a good name for her." Pan suggested, tilting her head to the side as she observed her newborn daughter.
Trunks nodded and the two looked over to Goku expectantly. "Well, do you have anything in mind, Goku-san?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Goku frowned thoughtfully and crossed his arms. "How about... Sendai?" he suggested, chewing lightly on his bottom lip.
Pan smiled brightly. "That's a beautiful name, Grandpa! What does it mean?" she asked curiously. "I've never heard that name before."
"It's a Saiyan name." Vegeta spoke up, eyeing Goku. "It means 'precious evening star'."
"A Saiyan name? But how would Grandpa know anything about the Saiyan's? I thought he'd lost all his memories a long time ago." she reasoned, raising an eyebrow at her Grandfather.
"Well........ not.. completely." Goku admitted sheepishly. "I do remember the language and most all of the history of Vejita-sei, just... not all the specifics."
"Oh for..... Kakarot, you BAKA!" Vegeta growled, scowling at the taller Saiyan.
"Sorry, Vegeta."
"Whatever..."
"Now, what about *your* daughter, Vegeta?" Goku asked, changing the subject.
Vegeta sweatdropped. "Bra. Her name Bra Buruma Briefs-Vegeta." he replied, sighing.
"Bulma named her, eh?"
"Yep."
