*the half breed blushed but then sighed. but then touched her forehead*
Brenton:yep you are getting sick.
Alice:Brenton is so caring and sweet…
Brenton:that's it i'm calling Bulma.*he then got up and was about to get out when-*
Alice:don't go…
Brenton:don't worry i'll be back in a few minutes.*he smiled warmly at her making the Android relax and allowing him to leave as he grabbed the phone*
Sakura:is she okay?
Brenton:i don't know but she was really warm and even started to ramble.*a few minutes later after talking to Bulma Brenton used Instant Transmission to teleport Bulma to Alice*
Bulma:oh i can see why you were so worried.*Brenton looked away fearing the worst but Bulma smiled at him*i'll run some tests but i'll need some space.
Brenton:right.*he then walked out of the room*(what could be the worst case senario here?)*as he paced back and fourth he pictured many possibilities good and bad*

*minutes seemed like hours and hours seemed like days as bulma worked. At some point Sakura came by to ease brenton's worries. Eventually, Bulma came back out*
Bulma: ok well, I did all I could from here without my major instruments.
Sakura: so how is she? its not serious is it?
Bulma: well that's the strange thing. She isn't dying, but it is clear something is going on. Have her come by the lab in the morning. I'll give her a full examination then.
Sakura: Wait, so you don't know what's wrong?
Bulma: All I know is the samples I retained all pass Alice as extremely healthy and alive as you or me. The only thing that seemed different was her size, though it was a bit dark in there and she was bundled in blankets.
Brenton:sigh thanks anyway Bulma.
Bulma:hey chin-up Brenton i promise by tomorrow i'll do what i can.for now let Alice rest and keep a close eye on her.*the half breed allowed a quick smile and nod*
Brenton:you got it.*he then instant transmission Bulma home and then reappeared*(their is no use in worrying about Alice since i know Bulma will do her best…i need something to distract me without leaving the house.)
Brenton:well okay.*as the half breed walked outside until he was in the forest. he looked up saw his 2 children training*
Bardock:HAH! HIYEAH!*as the 2 clashed in their Supersaiyan2 forms they floated back down and reverted back to normal panting*
Brenton:good work you 2!*Bardock turned around with a raised eyebrow*
Bardock:oh hey Dad.
Yang:what's wrong? you look worried.*Brenton laughed as he rubbed the back of his head*
Brenton:its nothing.you 2 sure have improved im impressed.
*the half breed watched as 2 kids fought in a ring. until 1 of them was knocked out*
Brenton:(amateur is right..what is that a fight club?)*he then shook his head in disapproval.the half breed then frowned as his mind was somewhere else and the kids noticed this.*
Bardock:Dad?
Brenton:i'm going to the arcade i don't know if i can sit through another Hercule movie let alone watch "that"*he pointed at the tournament.he then digged through his wallet and pulled out a lot of money and gave half to both his kids*i don't know which you 2 will decide but i got a few arcade machines with my name on it.*he then smirked as he paid the guy at the counter to exchange the money for special tokens and then played a shooting game*
Yang:you know he's got a point.
Bardock:…yeha I thought they'd be more on our level. Come on, let's go see dad and play a few games.
Yang: not yet,*holds up some of the money*he gave us quite a bit. Let's get us and him a few treats and then meet up with him.
Bardock: Sure!*minutes later the two arrived to the arcade where thier father is*
Yang: hey dad, how goes the game?
Bardock: how many quarters have you blown through?
*Brenton was playing a game involving the wild west as he fired using a gun as a controller that is until-*
Arcade Machine:GAME OVER!
Brenton:probably too many.
Yang:aw come on Dad i know you can beat it.
Brenton:*he put in another token to try again.*(it's hard to beat a game when your mind is on someone else.)
Yang:come on Bardock you should try DDR!
Bardock:what's DDR?*as they walked up to what looked like 2 colorful platforms with 4 arrows on them.what happened next surprised Bardock*
DDR Machine:DANCE! DANCE! REVOLUTION!! GET READY!
Bardock:dancing?
Yang:all you really gotta do is put your foot on the right arrow really but yeah you pretty much gotta dance.*suddenly a teen-ager around their age walked up to Yang.he had short blond hair tan skin and their were girls behind him with hearts for eyes swooning over him*
???:hey cutie.word around town says you are daughter of that rich martial artist. mind if i have a few words with you?*Bardock look well for lack of a better termed pissed as he grinded his teeth*
Yang:no thanks i already have a boyfriend.
???:hmph Benjamin Moneybags does not take no for an answer. …how about a wager? if i win you dump your loser boyfriend and trade up for something better.
Yang:no w-
Bardock:*Bardock walked up to Benjamin poking his chest*listen here jerk! nobody disrespects Yang like that…your on! and if we win you don't show your pompous face around here again.
Benjamin:deal.*they walked up to the DDR machine. and as techno music began to play Benjamin was getting greats and perfects while Bardock got good and awful.*
Yang:come on Bardock you got this.
Benjamin:losing already? just as i thought.
Bardock:grr…
Brenton:Bardock! keep your mind on the goal at hand and relax your body.
Bardock:*Bardock looked determined like as if he was fighting this opponent.finally following the rhythm of the song he got a great but then multiple perfects*
Yang: go Bardock!
Benjamin:careful don't lose your footing!*tries to attack while dancing*
bardock:*dodges and keeps up the score till the song finishes* I win 'bags now get outta here.
Benjamin:this ain't over*throws a punch*
Bardock:*doesn't even flinch as he gets hit and takes his arm* is that all?*flings him out of the arcade*
Brenton:never thought you would be in a dance battle of all things.
Bardock:heh heh heh.
Yang:my hero.*she then kissed his cheek making Bardock blush*
Brenton:come on lets have a treat!*after getting some cotton candy and playing more games it was getting really late so Brenton teleport them home and went to bed. the next morning the half breed was once again pacing back and fourth outside the guest room as Bulma who brang more equipment was seeing what's wrong with Alice*(best case scenario it could be some random alien cold. worst case and most unlikely is that she is dying.)*he then thought of random possibilities like it could be a reaction to having Buus DNA or pregnancy?!* *the half breed stopped pacing and shook his head*(yeah right. she said it herself she can't get pregnant…then again Krillen thought the same thing about Lazuli then 3 years later popped out Marron…damnit this isn't the time or place for thinking that nonsense!)*he then stopped pacing and grabbed his head with his hands before shaking his head violently to snap out of it*
Brenton:*yawns* yeah…
Sakura:aw hon…*she hugged him a little harder*i'm sure Bulma will do what she can.
Brenton:well if she can't i'll have to rely on the Dragonballs.
Sakura:come on Brenton you're tired you should get some rest.
Brenton:not until i'm sure she's okay.*Skitters walked up to them looking confused*
Skitters:mew?*Brenton smiled as he sat down and scratch the kittens head*
Brenton:yeah.*he then put 1 hand on Sakuras shoulder and just before he teleported to Capsule Corp Skitter jumped on his shoulder teleporting the 4 of them in front of Bulma who was setting everything up*
Bulma:good you both are here.go ahead and place Alice on the table i'll do the rest.*after that Brenton was told to wait outside as his tired state would only get in the way.so he sat down on the floor and finally fell asleep when suddenly future Mai walked by.*
Mai:Brenton? what are you doing?
Brenton:its a long story.yawn!
Mai:i'll make you coffee.
Brenton:2 sugars with cream please.
Mai: so what brings you both here?
Sakura: we think Alice is sick
Mai: what? that's horrible!
Sakura: it really is, we're hoping that we can find a solution.
Mai:well, knowing bulma, she'll find the reason.
Sakura:*smiles* Thanks Mai. So, how are things with trunks going?
Mai: he's good a bit different, but good.
Sakura: different how?
Mai: well he started growing out his hair again and he seems a lot more lax.
Sakura: what could it be?
Bulma:come on in you two.
Sakura: *nudges brenton and hold her sleepy husband up*
Bulma: So as you can see here her cells are quite healthy.
Sakura: alright, you stated that last night. What does that have to do with anything?
Bulma:Well here's the thing they keep replicating and taking energy from Alice here. The only way to do that is to eat.
Sakura: well she has been up until last night.
Bulma: Im afraid simple food isn't cutting it anymore. She needs more than that and is refusing going that step further. She's probably been doing it for a long time and now is catching up to her. In short one of two things could happen, she will either submit to her hunger, or she'll drain herself till there is nothing left.
Sakura: That's horrifying! Isn't there anything we can do?
Bulma: Well there are a few options, we could try and reprogram her, problem is she's mostly sub organic and that could be dangerous. Another is using the dragonballs to help her. We'd have to consider what Shenron could do for her. Im still thinking of solutions,and we do have time thankfully.
Brenton:ugh well i have faith that you'll think of something Bulma.you always do.
Bulma:*Bulma smiled*i'll get back to work.*as she closed the door shetyped on her computer she looked through some secret files she came across the Red Ribbions old files*hmm maybe if i spliced her DNA to make her body think she was in her human form it might cause a proper response…*meanwhile Brenton Mai and Sakura walked into the living room*
Brenton:*yawns*i don't see the point in just sitting here and doing nothing…i want to help.
Sakura:just relax for awhile hon i promise you that we will search for the Dragonballs if things head south.
Brenton:right.
Mai: Hey, why don't we wish that she was human? That would solve a lot of risks right there.
Sakura:That's one problem there. We don't know if it would be in Shenron's power. Even if it was, there's the matter of Alice herself.
Mai: what do you mean?
Sakura: well while she is an adult in body, according to her she was built sometime within this decade. If she becomes human by that means, would that keep her where she is, or would she be a child younger than your child self and Violet?
Mai: yikes. That seems a lot more complicated for a wish than I thought.
Sakura: yeha.
Mai:well, there has to be other options. Ways to word wishes, and sciencey stuff.
Sakura: Im thinking of a few…but I don't know if I want to bring my sister into this to broaden our options.
Mai: Well the more options the better, right? Plus, once we figure it out, it all comes down to what Alice wants.
Sakura:I suppose that is true. Hey, um is there somewhere I can put Brenton, in his current state he's kind of sluggish.
Mai:Sure, you can put him in the guest room over by the safari wing.*takes an arm* here, I'll give you a hand.
Sakura: thanks. *puts him in the back of a cart and starts to drive till they end up at the location*
*the half breed began to relax as he finally slept smiling in his sleep*
Sakura:(have a nice rest hun)*she then smiled at Mai who smiled back.about 5 hours later Brentons eyes went wide*
Brenton:Alice!…,phew! just a dumb dream.
Skitters:mroaw?
Brenton:oops i didn't mean to startle you Skitters. come on i didn't get the chance to eat breakfast and now i'm starving!*he then walked out of the guest room Skitters on Brentons shoulder as he bite Brentons ear before they walked towards the kitchen and made a sandwich.and then found a small treat which he gave to Skitters who ate it*(…maybe if things head a little south i'll ask Shallot for help.after all i don't think we can trust Shenron.)
Brenton:ugh i feel groggy.and i'm pretty sure Bulmas coffee is doing nothing for me but you don't see me complaining no sir,,.although i guess that still counts as complaining so oops…heh heh.*he then scratch the back of his head in a sheepish manner making Sakura smile as she hugged her husband*
Sakura:don't be so tense i'm sure she's fine.
Brenton:man…you know they say in this situation waiting is always the hardest part.i need to blow off some steam i'll be in Vegetas gravity chamber if you need me.
Sakura:Brenton…*he then walked away until he reached the backyard and noticed it was already active as Trunks was Training*
Brenton:yo! Trunks!!
