West City Part: 1

"Now... what do I tell Launch? That I'm two years older because of my ability taking me to another world of zombies? Or should I just lie... maybe I can get the dragon balls to make me two years younger so there'd be no suspicion... or get Orochimaru to simply give me immortality when he's done with the serum.." I muttered to myself as I walked through West City.

"Hey!" Someone familiar shouted from behind me.

"Huh? Who is it?" I asked as I turned around, revealing Son Goku.

"Hey! Why'd you ditch me!" Goku shouted annoyed.

"Ditch you?" I repeated, confused.

"We were training and when I was eating the Senzu Bean you gave me, you zoned out for a second and just flew off! Leaving me in the wastelands! Why did you do that!? I thought we were going to train some more!" Goku said annoyed.

"Ah right, would you believe me if I said that I spent an entire two years in another world where I was severely weakened and had to survive... and simply forgot that we were fighting?" I asked.

"Uh..." Goku said, stunned.

"Because I may or may not have been... well, bye!" I said as I flew away to avoid the awkward conversation with Goku.

"You know, I should really be quieter... might get into fewer conversations that way... which would not help my awkwardness with talking to people and would probably actually make me worse... and then it might affect the relationship with Launch and then we might break up... then that'd leave the baby fatherless and... oh damn it, I can't stay silent can I? Damn it... guess that's what almost two years of isolation does to you" I muttered to myself as I flew to Capsule Corp to see Dr Briefs, Ed and Orochimaru about the immortality serum and progress on the android.
