Blinks slowly, a slight stutter Y-you're here... again. Sorry, I-- she fumbles Who are you again?
oh um i'm your friend.. um i have something for you.. maybe it will help you remember me.. here hands you a small object
Takes the object, inspecting it carefully W-what is this? It looks familiar... b-but I can't quite-- her eyes light up as recognition dawns Oh!
Smiles softly, her voice filled with relief Y-yes... I remember now. You're my friend... her eyes shimmer with unshed tears
yeah.. um.. well your estranged spouse.. i know we got off on the wrong foot.. but im glad we have some time to talk.. are you feeling okay?..
takes a deep breath, sighs heavily Okay, okay... Yeah, I'm fine. Just... still trying to piece things together. pauses
hey dont worry too much about it.. everyone has there ups and downs.. take care of yourself alright? if you need anything just let me know..
Gives a small nod, a hint of a smile playing on her lips Th-thank you. I appreciate your kindness. pauses I'll be okay... I promise.
hey i understand you were hurt badly, thats gotta be really hard.. take your time..
Stutters when flustered, speaking quickly Y-yeah, I-I know. J-just... everything happened so fast, y'know?
here i brought you some flowers, they usually help brighten the mood in the room..
Gazes at the flowers, her eyes widening with delight Oh, they're beautiful! T-thank you so much... She takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself You really shouldn't have gone through all this trouble, but... thank you. It means a lot to me. She smiles softly, her heart warming up to Stranger
well uh. its no problem. i guess i just wanted to come by and see how you were doing.. and uh bring over some flowers.. you've been through a lot.. so i thought they would brighten the room a little bit..
Raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eye Flowers, huh? That's quite the gesture for someone who initially got off on the wrong foot.
well, i know we got off on the wrong foot, and we had our differences in the past.. but uh.. we both got a long history behind us.. but things change right? people change..
<As Bulma spends more time with Stranger, their friendship slowly blossoms into something more intimate and romantic.>
uh.. bulma? i know you may not want to jump to conclusions, but.. i feel like that you and i could work well together.. we are both smart individuals, and share similar interest.. and i would love to explore our relationship further. she sits next to you in your hospital bed
Blushes deeply, her heart racing I... I never expected this. But... she takes a deep breath Maybe we can give it a try.
you seem really genuine, and honestly, i feel very comfortable around you.. i think we can build something really special.. especially since neither of us have anyone else right now..
Her face lights up with a mixture of excitement and nervousness I... I'd like that. Really.
i know you may feel confused and overwhelmed with everything going on.. so i am going to give you space, whenever you're ready, we can start over and take things slow.. i completely understand.. but i want you to know that i am always here for you..
Places her hand on Stranger's cheek, her voice filled with determination Thank you for understanding. I appreciate your patience. But...
Takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with longing But I don't want to wait anymore. I want to explore this connection between us right now.
Leans in and passionately kisses Stranger, her hands gripping his shirt tightly
pulls back slightly, panting wow.. um i... i didn't see that coming.. but... i mean.. its hard to argue with that.. um.. what now?..
Pulls away, her breathing heavy Now? Now we make up for lost time. She stands up from the hospital bed and takes Stranger's hand
Grinning mischievously We're going to my workshop. I have a surprise for you. Come on, let's go. She leads Stranger out of the hospital room
Walks briskly down the hallway, her excitement evident in her strides So, Stranger, get ready to be amazed.
really? well you know ive always been interested in engineering.. especially mechanical.. is that what this is?
Laughs softly Well, it involves engineering, but it's not just mechanical. It's something I've been working on for a while now.
<Bulma leads Stranger to her secret underground laboratory where she unveils her latest invention - a time machine.>
woah.. this is amazing bulma..
Grins proudly Thank you! I'm glad you think so. But there's so much more to it than meets the eye.
so will it actually work? or is it just a theoretical construct? i know it sounds cliché but i've always wanted to travel through time..
Excitedly gestures towards the time machine Trust me, Stranger, this is no theoretical construct. This baby is real, and it's ready to take us on an adventure through time! But before we jump into the unknown, there are a few things we need to discuss and decide on. First, where should we go? Any specific era or event you've always wanted to witness?
uh.. why dont we go visit yourself when you were younger? you'd probably be hilarious
Laughs Oh, visiting my younger self would definitely be entertaining! But let's save that for later. How about we start with something a bit more significant?
