That’d be really, really helpful and everything, but I don’t know if it’s really that simple to fix things he’s been dealing with it for that long. This wasn’t exactly something a Senzu could fix, after all.” You… don’t actually know that. Your eyes dart over towards Lapis, looking for confirmation.
“Yep.” he thankfully says.
Whew. “Besides, that’s something you should be asking himself and his parents. They’re the ones who are affected by this.”
Buu turns his head, looking up at Tommy. “Buu fix?”
He… smiles sadly. “That’s… a good thought, but I dunno if you can.”
“Buu can!” he declares proudly.
…An idea hits you. “Tell ya what, Buu, if you can talk with them, and maybe learn a bit on what he needs, you can go through with it.” You pat the Majin on the head. “Not saying this because I doubt you, but because I actually believe you.”
“You do?” he questions, pointing at himself.
“Yeah. If I’m right, this will be a bit like… a kind of training, almost. One you can eventually apply more broadly, and help lots of people.” you explain. “I bet you could help lots of people…” Aaaand to sweeten the deal, you lean in a bit. “Just like lil’ Rock Light.”
Buu’s positively beaming now. “Buu do that! Buu help!”
That gets everyone to chuckle a bit, Chuu Lee, Krillin, and Nappa finally taking a break from their sparring match to approach you all. “Glad to hear it, lil’ guy.” Lapis tosses them a few cans from a cooler, the trio enjoying some nicely chilled refreshments.
Looking down at his watch, Lapis gives a nod. “Gonna take a quick patrol, check up on things. Junior Rangers?”
“Yes sir!” Tommy and Marron both respond, standing at attention.
“Keep this area secure while I’m scouting, got it?”
“Yes sir!” the pair shout as they salute him.
With Lapis flying off, Buu approaches Chuu Lee and starts to talk with her. Tommy meanwhile smiles at you. “You really think he can do it?”
“Well, you sensed him just a bit ago. All that power he has isn’t just destructive, it’s also creative, and I bet it could be used to heal too. I mean, I’ve seen him turn rocks into candy before, the lil’ guy’s got talents like you’d never believe.”
“Wow, really?! That sounds so cool. He’s like… magic or something.”
You nod, crossing your arms again. “Oh you don’t know the half of it.” As you look up at the sky, you start to ponder. “…Say, Tommy, do you remember the name of the town you’re from? Maybe if Buu can help you, he can help others from there too. At least as a start.”
