Memory of the Sun

Chapter 25: Incoming Nightmare

A few days later...

...

Luna was recovering from her last adventure at Capsule Corp, sitting with Bulma, Yamcha, Puar and Oolong outside on the balcony as they all enjoyed the sunny day now that the Black Water Mist and Garlic Jr. were gone for good.

I wonder what Gohan's doing... Luna mused, staring up at the clouds as she hoped he was getting some well deserved rest. That kid's got so much potential... I can't wait to see what kind of fighter he turns out to be... She thought, smiling as she recalled yesterday's events. Garlic Jr. and his henchmen would have succeeded in taking over the Earth if Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin and herself hadn't stopped them. Luna couldn't help but smile, proud of herself for helping defend her friend's home planet as she realized they all made a great team.

Now we just need Goku to come back... She thought, smirking at the sky before her friend's laughter brought her back to reality.

"Cat loves food, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah~" Yamcha sang, snapping Luna out of her thoughts as Oolong and Bulma laughed at the dark haired fighter.

"Oh you goof... You're such a nut!" Bulma said, giggling while looking his way. "Where did you come up with that?"

"That was from an old cat food commercial. Puar hates it when I do that..." Yamcha finished with a laugh as Puar just shook his head.

"I ate cat food once..." Oolong admitted, shivering at the memory before continuing. "I- I thought it was tuna fish!"

Everyone shared a good laugh together as Bulma's mother came out with a tray of tea.

"Hi Mrs. Briefs!" Luna said, waving at the blonde woman as the two said their hellos. "You look really pretty today, well everyday actually..." Luna went on, eyeing the sizable sugar bowl on the tray that she was holding as her friend's mother squeaked happily at the compliment.

"Oh! You are just too kind dear..." Mrs. Briefs blushed, placing a cup of tea down in front of her and adding a huge amount of sugar, just the way she knew the girl liked it. "Just to make sure you stay as sweet as you are now!" She grinned, the purple haired girl thanking her before giggling to herself happily.

"Oh, Luna! Guess what?" Bulma said, interrupting her day dreams about sugar as she looked up.

"What?"

"I had a weird dream last night that Vegeta came back!"

"Really-"

"What?!" Yamcha shouted, cutting Luna off as he stood up from his seat angrily. "Vegeta? You dreamt about him?!"

"You know, actually... He was pretty nice to me in the dream..." Bulma went on, grinning a bit more as she noticed Yamcha getting more and more displeased.

"And a good kisser to boot-"

"WHAT! You kissed him?!" He shouted, glaring at her as she giggled before shaking her head.

"It was just a dream Yamcha!"

"You poor sap... You're jealous, aren't you?" Oolong laughed, waving his hand at the man in question as Luna tried to contain her laughter. "Admit it!"

"Right." Yamcha huffed, leaning back in his chair as Mrs. Briefs walked over with a cup of tea for him, placing it in front of the seething man as she spoke.

"Speaking of Vegeta, your Dad said he should be running out of fuel soon..." The blonde woman finished, looking at her daughter as Luna noticed the worried expression on her face. Even Yamcha seemed to be surprised as they all watched Bulma stare up at the sky before Luna broke the silence.
