We seem to be "safe" right now. We're in this medow of odd colored grass, strange flowers, but normal, clear, water, even if the fish the water don't look normal. The water is good. Tasty. Yes, the replicator could make water, but it wasn't as cold and refreshing.

People are talking, regrouping, making sure we're all okay. Mom and Dad were

Beej, having to fight sometimes makes us do things we wouldn't otherwise do, put on faces that aren't really our own. For the immediate goal at the time, you did something that made sense. Everybody knows what you said isn't true; Vegeta remarked that even he didn't believe it, but it was good enough to get him to SSJ3, and he's even thankful for it now. You didn't do a thing to hurt Bra's reputation, and we know you didn't mean what you said. Remember how your father finally got Gokou to go SSJ4? It took something that really hurt, and I'm sure it was probably hard on him to say it when the rest of us didn't know what was going on.

Can I join you? Please?

[futurebardock]

You're always welcome to join me.

I know it wasn't true. But I just... it's hard to explain, it's like where did I come up with that? Why was that the first thing I could latch on to? What was going on inside of me that made me do that? I just feel... creepy now, like I looked inside my own head and found something black in there.

[piper_g]

Well, of course. Nobody's perfect, Beej. There are thoughts and words inside all of us that we wish weren't there.

Re:

[futurebardock]

I know I'm not perfect. Trust me, I know. But I just...well, it's... I'm wondering why that? Why not something else? Why did I latch onto that, knowing that yes, it would piss Vegeta off, but it would also be a really cutting remark too.

[mister_popo]

Its ok, you did what you had to do. After the fight would you like to see my new greenhouse?

Re:

[futurebardock]

Sure, I'd love to see the flowers when I get back. Looking at flowers would be nice.

[raditz]

Thank BJ, yea SSJ2 is great. But let's wait a bit before we push the SSJ3 envelope.

As for Vegeta, and what you said. Don't take it so hard. You said the one thing you knew would piss him off to no end. We all knew you didn't mean it, you just wanted to help him.

Re:

[futurebardock]

I know, Dad... but it was just so crude. Why did I have to drag that into it?

Re:

[raditz]

Cause you knew that was the one thing that he would loose it on. Everything else was making him mad, but he kept control.

You only did what had to be done.

Re:

[futurebardock]

Yeah, I guess. I still wish I hadn't though.

[panbonkin]

Hey BJ, don't take it so hard. I mean your a good kid and all, and you only said it to get to him.

If I said it, it would be a different story.

Re:

[futurebardock]

Thanks, Bonk. At least you made me smile.

Re:

[panbonkin]

Glad to hear it.

U=Your a good man BJ, that's why your folks are proud of you.

Re:

[futurebardock]

Yeah, I'm a good man till I do something to drive them nuts. *g*

[brollisdaughter]

I think you should go talk to Bra about it. I'm sure she'll understand.

Re:

[futurebardock]

I know I should talk to Bra about it, but it's like... I'm mortified too. *sighs* I really have to get over this, don't I?

Re:

[brollisdaughter]

I'm surprised you guys still aren't comfortable talking to each other. I thought communication and understanding was pretty important in a relationship.

Re:

[futurebardock]

It is and it should be, but I'm a twit and I have trouble communicating when I feel like I screwed someone.
