Goten smiled and nodded eagerly. "Alright, I'm hungry!" He said excitedly.

Goku looked at his son and smiled again, he was pretty hungry too. "Alright, alright, I am too. Everyone hold on." Goku said as he placed his middle and index fingers in the middle of his forehead.

Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Segira obeyed and held onto Goku, Segira clutching Goku's outer shirt pretty tightly. In the blink of an eye, they all disappeared from Other World and reappeared in Capsule Corp's living room not a second later. Bulma, who was just locking the front door, quickly spun around on her heel when she heard Goku and the others in the room, startled by their sudden appearance. But she relaxed a little when she saw it was Goku and the others, but not all that much.

She put her hands on her hips and glared at Goku. "Don't scare me like that! I thought you were more of those weird guys that might've snuck in through the window or something!" She scolded him.

Goku smiled sheepishly a little and scratched the back of his head. "Sorry Bulma, we'll try to warn you next time." He said.

Bulma rolled her eyes. "Sure you will..." She thought sarcastically. Goku lowered his hand to his side and looked around the room. Goten and Trunks had run off somewhere in Capsule Corp to play after they got back, so it was just Goku, Gohan, Segira, and Bulma in the room.

"I guess those scientist guys left huh?" Gohan asked after scanning the room.

Bulma looked at him and nodded. "Yeah, finally. They wouldn't stop asking me if I've had any contact with a girl with long black hair and black eyes, which is most likely Segira. Then they started snooping around Capsule Corp." Bulma explained, glancing over at Segira as she shuddered. She hid behind Goku and clutched his orange outer shirt as her eyes darted around to examine the room, she was probably uneasy since those guys were there. Bulma smiled softly at her. "Don't worry Segira, I didn't tell them anything about you." Bulma told her reassuringly. Segira nodded slowly, but it would probably take a few minutes for her to calm down. Bulma looked up at Goku. "By the way, can I talk to you for a minute Goku?"

Goku looked at her. "Sure, I'd like to talk to you about something too." He replied.

After Goku got Segira off him, Bulma and Goku walked into the kitchen in the other room, leaving Segira and Gohan in the living room. "We need to do something with Segira." Bulma told Goku once they were in the kitchen.

Goku lifted an eyebrow at her in puzzlement. "What do you mean?" He asked.

Bulma looked at the doorway that led into the living room. "I mean that we should change her appearance or something, those guys would notice her the second they saw her even in a room full of people if she kept looking the way she does now."

"So what do you want to do? Cut off her tail or something? You've got to think about what she wants too."

Bulma nodded. "I know. But I don't think we'll need to cut off her tail if we train her to wrap it around her waist like a belt under her clothes or something." She looked back at Goku. "Maybe we cut her hair instead, it's not painful like getting her tail cut off and it's a lot easier."

Goku nodded. "If Segira doesn't mind losing her long hair forever." He blinked and looked up, crossing his arms over his chest. "Actually, that could work..." He looked back at Bulma. "Hey Bulma? Can you use some of Segira's hair you'll cut off to run some tests? It's better than getting shots."

Bulma nodded. "Yeah." She lifted an eyebrow at him. "But what kind of tests? And why?"

Goku shrugged. "Just some of those DNA tests scientists do." He turned to face Bulma before speaking again. "While we were in Other World, Segira used one of Vegeta's fighting stances like it was her very own, and she had that same expression Vegeta always has when he's fighting, plus, it looked like she was using a mixture of both mine and Vegeta's fighting style when she was sparring. I know it's a longshot, but can you see if her DNA matches mine or Vegeta's?"
