I've written forty three pages so far. "Jot down everything you can remember" she told me, and that's what I've been trying to do. I don't think I've ever written that much in my entire life.

"Goku?"

I put the pencil down and look at her.

"You can go home now if you want," Bulma says. She's smiling.

"You sure?"

"It's ok, I can handle it for tonight. Come back tomorrow morning."

I don't like the sound of this. She shouldn't be left alone in her condition, but it's her choice after all. Besides, it's not like it'll take me a long time to teleport back here if needed. I'll get to see Chichi if I go home, and that would be nice.

I just hope she won't be too mad at me when she sees my face.

There's no mirror here, but I'm pretty sure I look terrible right about now.

Last night I saw it. Big and white, with lots and lots of rooms inside, and nice, clean bedsheets. I don't know why I keep on seeing bedsheets, but I guess it has to mean something. Bulma says I should take note of everything, even if I don't think much of it at the time. It could turn out to be important.

I remember the tall man with the ugly scar on his face. He looks scary, just a little, but I like him. Piiman (is that his name?), the good-looking one, doesn't. Actually, Piiman doesn't like anybody, especially that tall man and my Queen. He wants to hurt her, but he can't because I'm always there in her shadow...

Last night I also had another dream, but it wasn't a pleasant one at all. It was her again, the Creature in red. Everything about her is red, red like blood. I don't remember anything else, because I woke up screaming just after. It's a good thing Bulma was there with me. I wouldn't have gone back to sleep if I'd been alone.

Hurts too much.

I'd rather be drinking coffee again.

I don't think Vejita would like it too much though, if he knew that she and I slept in the same bed, and that sometimes we wake up in each other's arms. Well, I suppose Chichi wouldn't appreciate it either. But they'd both be wrong. I belong to Chichi, and Bulma belongs to him. She always has, and she's doing all this for him.

And when you look at it that way, so am I.
