Son and daughter having 'The Talk' with Mom

[fighting4afuture]

Who: Bulma, Bulla, and Trunks
Where: Bulma's capsule house(?)
When: May 1st (what is this thing you call backdating)
Style: Action
Status: Closed

[Trunks had really intended to break this earlier, but he simply hadn't known how. The mindset of hiding his identity that he'd taken on when he traveled to the past wasn't the best policy here--but he honestly couldn't help it.

He'd talked with Gohan days ago and had decided that it would be for the best to just...tell them, but hadn't gotten around to it.

And now everything was blowing up, just like Gohan said it would. At least he could try to contain the fallout.

Knock knock, Mom.]

[Kami. When she had said that he could tell her everything when he was ready, she didn't know that...

Goku's dead? Everyone except her and Trunks are dead? (But where does that leave Gohan?)]

Oh, honey...

[Her carton of cigarettes and lighter are dropped to the floor as Bulma gets up and approaches Trunks, leaning down a bit to be at level with him.]

The androids will be defeated. Everything will be all right as long as Goku's around. [She says that from the bottom of her heart, of course everything will always turn out fine when Goku's around. He's the strongest person in the world.] Now...getting back to the subject of your father, I guess I should be more cautious around that guy then.

[ Suddenly she feels sort of uncomfortable. She knows the androids don't get defeated, at least not in the sense they're probably thinking. 18 marries Krillin. She's her friends mom, and she's sure if she says something about that it'll be met with a negative reaction from one of the two.

And then all this stuff with her dad. Was it selfish of her, to want everything to be okay? For her family to somehow pull together and act more like...well, a family? Not just Her, Trunks, and Bulma, but Vegeta too. Dad's not a bad guy. Maybe I can show them that, somehow.

Ugh, why is everything so frustrating?

She frowns, thinking more than responding to what's going on. She doesn't really...know what to say. ]

Yeah, as long as Goku's around...

[Hey, you don't have to convince him of Vegeta being essentially a good, if conflicted, guy. Trunks still has a bit of hero worship going on re: dad and will forgive him nearly anything.

18, however...probably not, even if he could accept the different timelime as excusing her.]

...yeah. Sorry, it's a lot to hear.

[vulgarwoman]

Don't worry about it, Trunks. I'm not happy with any of what you're telling me, sure, but it's...necessary for me to know.

[Not sure if referring to the baby daddy aspect or the bad end aspect.]

[candidblue]

Yeah, it's...probably better to let it out now, instead of keep all that to yourself, you know?
