Whispers in the Dark

Dr. Briefs kissed his eight year old daughter on her forehead and tucked her in to bed.

"Sweet dreams," Dr. Briefs whispered to his blue-haired child.

"Goodnight Daddy," Bulma closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly.

Dr. Briefs was working in his lab when he heard his daughter's screams. He ran to her room and shook her awake.

"Bulma dear what's wrong?" Dr. Briefs hugged his daughter tightly.

"He was going to leave," Bulma spoke between sobs.

"Who was going to leave?" Dr Briefs looked his daughter in the eyes.

"Vegeta. He said that I would meet with him again someday," Bulma cried harder in to her father's chest.

Dr. Briefs sighed. For months now, his daughter had this imaginary friend. Ever since he took her to one of the archialogical sites Capsule Corp aquired, she would obsess about this 'friend.' He thought his daughter was too old to have imaginary friends. He just had a bad feeling about this Vegeta character she imagined. She would have nightmares sometimes and scream out his name. Dr Briefs was considering taking her to see a psychologist to help her, but he couldn't do that to his daughter. He loved her too much to do that.

"Don't worry baby it's going to be okay," he kissed her forehead and rocked her back to sleep.

Dr Briefs hoped that now that Vegeta was gone from her imagination, that she would return to her normal self. He had no idea what was going to happen in the future....
