The Past and Future

Chapter 1

Capsule Corp. is the company that have been known for ages. Started with Dr. Brief's family who ran the company; it was very small company back then. After they made some research on capsules; its function and advantages, the company became popular and everyone, not only in the West City, but the whole world bought the items from Capsule Corp.

Now, the company was handled by Bulma, Dr. Brief only daughter that have talent form the Brief's family traits. She was really into technology when she was small and she created several gadgets beside the capsules. She was the person who created the radar wave for finding the Dragon Ball.

She went through a lot of adventure with a boy name Goku. She travelled to a planet called Namek and met with her husband during Frieza's war in Namek. They fell in love when they came back to Earth and blessed with a son called Trunks.

Trunks resembles his father a lot except for the colour of his hair. Bulma and Vegeta then have a daughter, ten years after giving birth to Trunks. The little girl is called Bula and she resembles Bulma in all kind of her way; her hair and also her attitude.

They lived happily after the Majin Buu's war and Bulma got busier and busier after that. Her parents had passed away and she lived with her family in a big mansion. Vegeta also helped her a lot and Trunks has grown up and one day he will be in charge for the next head of Capsule Corp.

Little Bula is now 5 years old and she spent most of her time in the big mansion besides going to the kindergarten. She's very closed to her father, Vegeta and Vegeta liked to spend his time with his daughter.

Bulma sometimes seemed to neglect her daughter for she was too occupied with her new creation; the Time Machine. Driven from her adventure in the past where she met her future son, she wanted to create a time machine so that she could travel through time. But the machine consume a lot of time.

Vegeta had just picked up Bula from her kindergarten. Bula learned how to make animals from clay and she made a rabbit. Her teacher praised her and she was eager to show the rabbit to her mother.

"Now Bula, go to your room and change your uniform. I'll wait for you in the dining room. Lunch will be ready. Trunks will come back any minute. Okay?" Vegeta patted his daughter's head. Bula smiled widely and nodded. She then trotted happily to her room.

She changed into her regular outfit; white blouse and green skirt. She went to the dining room where Trunks and Vegeta were waiting for her.

"Hey there, little one. How's your school?" asked Trunks and picked her up and put her on his lap. Bula giggled.

"It's fun! Today, I made a bunny from clay. Teacher said the bunny is pretty! I want to show it to Mommy!" She looked around for Bulma who wasn't there with them. "Where's Mommy?"

"Mommy said we should not wait for her. Let's eat first. Mommy will join us soon," said Vegeta, hoping that Bula won't be sad to hear this.

"Okay! I know that Mommy is busy lately. Maybe I should go to the lab and show her the clay bunny," Bula smiled and ate her lunch that had been made by her father. Vegeta learned how to cook with Chi Chi several years ago and his cooking improved day by day. So, he's officially did the cooking for his family.

After lunch, Bula went to her room and put the clay bunny into her pocket and looked for Bulma in the lab. The lab was enormously spacious and filled with the sound of machines and computer's beeping. Bula walked around while searching for Bulma.

She called Bulma's name for several times but her voice seemed drown with the sounds of the machines and computers. She stopped walking for a while as she was tired. Something caught her eyes as she turned to her left. She saw a small space-craft-like vehicle, red in colour. She lowly approached the small space craft and stared at it for a while.

It looked like a car as she could see the seat inside the space craft. The cover was opened and there's no one there. Bula really liked the space craft and climbed up. She giggled as she sat down. She stared at the monitor flashed with several colour of red, blue and green. There were buttons and one of them has numbers on it. She pressed some numbers and suddenly the cover closed. Bula was getting excited and she accidentally hit the red button.

The space craft's engine was activated and started to glow. Bulma who was coming back from her lunch with Vegeta heard the sound and rushed to it. Both of them were surprised to see Bula inside the space craft that she created for the Time Machine. She yelled on top of her lungs, calling Bula's name but Bula couldn't hear her. She waved at her parents.

Vegeta and Bulma tried to stop the machine but they were too late. The machine vanished from their sight, taking Bula with it. Bulma cried in frustration while Vegeta hugged her and calmed her. Bulma was blaming herself for it's her fault that her daughter, her only daughter had disappeared. She promised herself to find her daughter no matter what!
