Today was just another boring day for Vegeta. He had been training non-stop in the Gravity Chamber since six o'clock in the morning. It had been a while since he had worked out this much. The only reason that the older Saiyan noticed was because his battle bots were only at level 18 and he was beginning to break a sweat. Normally that level would be no problem for him in this level of gravity, but today it was kicking his ass.
"Vegeta! Dinner is ready." He heard Bulma call from somewhere in the house. He rolled his eyes and sighed softly. He hated living in this damned house. The only good thing about it was getting to train constantly. The woman never left him alone anymore. When he had first moved in, she gave him all the space he needed; but now it felt like she was smothering him.
Instead of responding to Bulma, Vegeta rolled his eyes and stepped out of the Gravity Chamber. He slowly made his way to the kitchen where Bulma was. He noticed that there was only enough food for two people. He chose not to say anything about it, figuring she was going to go somewhere. Just as the thought entered his head, Trunks comes running down the stairs.
"Hey Mom, where did you say you were going again?" The little boy asks as he picks the seat next to Vegeta to sit. Trunks joined Vegeta in demolishing all of the food that was on the counter.
"I'm just going out with some friends. I should be back before you go to bed tonight dear." Bulma smiles at her son and gives him a kiss on the cheek before leaving the room. "You two have fun while I'm gone and don't-" Her words were cut off by the front door shutting behind her. It probably wasn't important what she had to say anyway Vegeta thought to himself.
After the boys were finished eating, Trunks looks up at Vegeta and smiles. "Hey dad, can we go and see Goten tonight?" He asks with a pout. It was the signature move that his mother always fell for.
As for Vegeta, he wasn't moved by the look on the child's face. "Invite him over here. Then I don't have to deal with his idiot of a father." He says as he gets up from the kitchen table and goes back to his normal spot in the Gravity Chamber. It wasn't long before he could hear two boys running around Capsule Corp. He was glad that he convinced Trunks to have the two stay here. He didn't want to deal with Kakarot's babbling about the most random things. That clown irritated Vegeta with all of his heart. He wasn't sure where the hatred stemmed from inside of him for Kakarot. Ever since he came to this planet to destroy it he has hated the Saiyan.
Vegeta grimaced and shook his head, trying his best to get that clown out of his head. He turned the dial on the gravity machine to 550 times Earth's Gravity and immediately started doing push-ups. The intensity of the gravity in the room was so great, you could see the tiles underneath Vegeta's hands and feet start to crack from the pressure. This only fueled the fire in Vegeta's veins. He loved the thrill of training in such high gravity. If his focus wavered for a second he could tumble to the floor in a pile of broken bones. Maybe it was the Saiyan inside Vegeta that thrilled for the challenge of being in 550 times gravity.
Suddenly, Vegeta feels the gravity begin to lessen. He holds back a growl and looks up to see who is trying to come into the Gravity Chamber. His tail lashed around the air in irritation as he stands up and crosses his arms. Vegeta didn't see anyone at the door, but who messed with the gravity machine?
Almost before he could finish the question, he heard a lot of giggling girls somewhere in the house. The noise was very faint; his Saiyan hearing almost didn't pick it up. That meant the woman brought her friends back to the house. Knowing what was coming; Vegeta sighed and goes up to his room to shower. He would have to make an appearance in front of her friends or else he won't hear the end of it. Vegeta didn't understand why it was so important to Bulma to show him off to all of her friends. They weren't together in any sense of the word; Sure they had a kid together, but that was a onetime thing.
Once he exited the Gravity Chamber, his nose was assaulted by a delicious scent. It was sweet like sugar and velvet. The scent was driving him insane with feelings that he didn't know he was capable of having. Feelings of happiness, calm, and relaxation washed over his body as he stood in the hallway. It took Vegeta a few minutes to calm down from this high that he was experiencing. After realizing he had been standing there for a good five minutes; Vegeta immediately threw his sweat rag around his neck and went into the kitchen to get a bottle of water, hoping he can find the source of the scent.
In the kitchen, Bulma was sitting at the table with a young woman. Her hair was short and stood out all over the place. She had the most gorgeous onyx eyes that Vegeta had ever seen. The scent that he smelled by the gravity room permeated the kitchen. Vegeta began to feel lightheaded from standing there in the room. It took Bulma coughing loudly to get Vegeta out of his trance. As Vegeta looked up at the women, he didn't say anything and just continued on his journey to the fridge like nothing happened.
"Since he won't introduce himself, I guess I will. Ellery this is my roommate Vegeta." The woman said from behind him. So the beautiful face had a name after all. Her name was almost as alluring as the scent that she was giving off. Vegeta just nodded to the two women before exiting the kitchen.
"Ellery…" Vegeta whispered her name all the way into his bedroom. Something about that name sounded familiar; but Vegeta could just be imagining things. As he lay down in his bed, he thought about Ellery; What her voice sounded like, what her laugh sounded like, how she got herself to smell so wonderful, everything about her. It was those thoughts that Vegeta had that put him to sleep, only to dream about the mystery girl all night long.
