Shin hums as he stirs his tea before looking at his wrist. Any time now he would meet his soulmate, and it would be his decision to do so. When he looks up he spots his assistant and bodyguard, then smiles.

"Have all the rooms been prepared?" he asks, which makes Kibito nod slowly. "Perfect. So everything is in order," he smiles, looking down at his reflection in the tea. Soon everyone would be happy, that is something he can guarantee.

"Turles, put those back," you sigh, rubbing your face. Turles pouts and drops the crate of strange looking apples on the ground. "Don't give me that look; we're not buying rotten fruit," you say, crossing your arms.

"You're a spoil sport, (Y\N)."

"And those are spoiled apples," you huff, turning back to your cart. At the other end of the isle, Gohan and Goten are doing something strange. "What are you two doing?" When they turn, you notice the marker moustaches on their faces, which makes you chuckle. "Where'd that come from?"

"Some kid is running around. Got our guard down by crying," Goten huffs. Gohan is still rubbing at the marker, yet he's still having trouble removing it. Soon Trunks rounds the corner, and you notice the large marker line across his face. The male huffs and crosses his arms, which makes you laugh loudly.

"I tried catching the kid," he explains, shoulders slumping. "But I wasn't good enough, apparently."

"That's because the kid is evil," Goten scowls. You wipe a stray tear from your eye before looking to the side. The first thing you notice is an elderly woman glaring at you, which makes you frown. She must think something is off... And she wouldn't be wrong. You quickly turn your head before walking to the checkout line. Your soulmates look between themselves before following slowly; why are you suddenly so upset? Gohan notices the sneering old woman before his shoulders slump. That's why.

"(Y\N)," Gohan calls, jogging to catch up. You're in line now, standing in silence. "(Y\N), that was just a person. There's nothing you-"

"Don't worry," you sigh, turning your head to look at him. "Just... I don't want to be in here, anymore." He knows you're lying, but he can see that several people are listening in to your conversation. He soon gives up and rubs the back of his head.

While you wait, you start to think about the rest of your soulmates. Will shopping always be this difficult? If more people show up, then it'll be harder to hide all your marks! You take a quick glance at the other timers; none of them have names... You won't know you've met your soulmate until you happen to see it stop. Once you're at the register, you quickly pay for everything. You keep your eyes down the entire time, hardly talking to the cashier.

"Have a nice day," you say quietly as you take your groceries. The guys are still silent, most likely they all know why you're upset. Once you're outside, a flash of light blinds you. You stumble back into the arms of Trunks, who is quick to pull you close. When you open your eyes, you're shocked to find that you're nowhere close to the supermarket. "Wait... Goten, Gohan?! Turles?!" You turn around before spotting the others. You breathe a sigh of relief, your form slumping. The world around you is bright and colorful, leading you to believe that the lot of you have died... But there's no halo, as Turles makes known. Now the question is: where are you?

"Good afternoon, apologizes for startling you," a voice says, causing you to turn and look at the male behind you. He gives a small smile as his head tilts. "I've waited for quite some time to meet you, (Y\N)."

"So you are one of them," you say as you look to your wrist. One of the remaining timers has turned to zero. The male, who introduced himself as Shin, hums and sips at his tea. "You said you've been watching me... Does that mean you know the situation?"

"Indeed."

"And?"

"If you're asking my opinion on the matter, I will be happy to inform you that I do not mind," he says. The others are outside, as Shin requested to speak with you alone. "In fact, I have a proposition for all of you."

"A proposition?"

"Yes. You see, I don't wish to part myself from you as I am glad to have met you. That being said, I cannot live on your planet, as I have a job here... What I'm trying to say," he says, going quiet. You spot the light blush on his cheeks. "Stay here, with me. All of you can live here, and visit your planet."

"Wait, all of us?"

"Yes. There's a lot of stigma regarding multiple soulmates, so I would assume this is a win-win, is it not?" You lean back in your seat and frown.

"Well, I'd have to speak with the others... I'm not going to make a decision without them," you say, which makes Shin nod and smile.

"I would never ask you to." He then leans to the side and smiles. "Kibito, may I request you bring the others inside?" The bodyguard is inside within moments, nodding before disappearing. Once he's gone, you feel nervous... What will the others think?

A smile comes to your lips as you watch Gohan, Goten, and Turles spar. The three had taken to training as a way of getting out any pent up aggressiveness. Trunks and Shin are with you, speaking quietly about the different timelines and such.

"(Y\N)," Shin starts, earning your attention. "May I ask you a question?"

"Oh, uh, yes?"

"Do you have any idea where the other three soulmates of your are?" he asks. You look down to your wrist and sigh, shaking your head. "I see... Well, there's three left, correct? I'll have to ask Kibito to prepare more rooms..." You smile and lean back in your seat. Everything is slowly falling into place.
