Okay, things settled, I'm here, we're back!
>>5367069“All right. Just… can you promise to not to mess around with the Dragon Balls tomorrow? Please?” you plead.
‘I mean… got some stuff I’ve reeeaaaally been wanting to ask Shenron, plus kinda have a job to do…’ Fu gives in a completely non-committal tone.
“Fu…”
‘Look, this has been a blast, really! I’ve got SO much great new data to work with, especially with the observer effect in place this time!’
You blink. “…This time?”
He doesn’t elaborate. ‘But… I guess the BEST I can say is that I’m not 100% sure I’ll be able to pull it off successfully with everyone around. Mom still wants me to TRY, buuuuut…’
“...Can you fake it?”
Fu is quiet for a moment. A quiet telepathic message enters your mind. ‘Maybe.’ Then he keeps up the same nonchalant yet chipper attitude. ‘Gohaaaaan, Basilea’s giving me the angriest glare right now!’
…Oh. Oh you get it. “Actually, on that note, I DID hear something about that wish she was gonna make.”
‘Oh yeeaaaah, haha, I guess you would. Yeah she didn’t much like it hearing it blabbed that she wanted to bring you b-ACK!’
And you just know Basilea’s trying to throttle him now. Giving King Kai a look, you get in contact with her too. “Hey, Basilea… why? Why try to bring me back? Were you really just wanting to one-up Peppa, ruin her moment?”
You can hear her huff indignantly. ‘Maybe I did! Maybe I would get a chance to rub it in her face that-!’
“You don’t have to lie to me. I’m not gonna start blabbing about it.” you explain to her. “Promise.”
She gives an annoyed groan and grumble. ‘...Promise?’
“Promise.”
Basilea sighs. ‘…I felt… bad, okay?’
“Youwha…?”
‘I felt bad and wanted to at least… do something to make up for what’s happened, okay?!’
…
You hold back laughter as best as you can. You also bite your tongue before you call her a tsundere. She would try to send you right back here if she heard that. “Eheh heh heh… you know Basilea? You’re not really as bad as you think you are.”
‘Quiet.’
“Anyway, consider my offer, Fu. I’ve got a sample ready for tomorrow that might change your mind.”
‘Sure thing!~ Laaaater!~’
And that’s it now. King Kai looks up at you. “You all good, kid?”
>A. Yep. Thanks again, King Kai>B. Actually, one more person…>C. Something else?
