[See, it doesn't register that it's her the one being addressed as "mom". First of all because she's not a mother. Second because even if she knows she will be a mother it's going to be a boy, certainly not a girl. So at first Bulma basically just gives Bulla a brief glance before returning to the clothes, mostly due instinct of hearing someone calling even if it's not for her.
Of course, as soon as it registers exactly what she has seen, Bulma turns her head sharply to look at the teenager. She has spent enough hours in front of a mirror to be able to know her own face quite well, and while the kid certainly isn't her, she could very well play decoy for her during her teenager days. A teenager girl who looks similar to her... And was this the one who called for her mother? While looking at Bulma?]
...
[She opens her mouth to talk but no sound comes out of it. Sorry Bulla, your mom's brain has just exploded and all she can do is stare at you and... God, why do you look so much like her. It can't be, she's going to have a kid, a boy. Wait, no, calm down Bulma. There has to be a logical and reasonable explanation for this, she's not a kid anymore, maybe "mom" is the new slang word? Or maybe she's from another world, that could be as well, this is Luceti after all. Or maybe she will go crazy in the future and clone herself, which is a good idea actually because there's never enough genius and beauty in the world for a Bulma to not be needed.]
I think you got the wrong person, sweetie.
[If only her voice didn't sound so shocked and terrified...]
