[The Moonlight Staff]

[By: Drown]

[Chapter: 1] [Find the Dragon Balls]

            The late night moonlight crept into the dark cave, illuminating the rocks and massive walls in it.  Deep inside that cave though, hidden from many lay something important to all on that planet.  Something that five people had been searching for.  But only one had the possession of two of them to their luck, or maybe their misfortune.

            Bulma Briefs, Princess of Chickyuu, heir to Capsule Corp and all its fortunes, sat in a small Capsule house.  The florescent lights that hung on the ceiling lit up the floor underneath them and around.  The furniture was set up orderly and the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies filled the air.

            The blue haired woman sat in a chair opposite of a coffee table in which two dragon balls sat on.  She just glared ahead of her at the two dragon balls.  Taking no mind to the smell of something burning.

            "This is your fault, you know that?" She said directly to the dragon balls.  "If it wasn't for you then I wouldn't be here.  Id be home and be able to wish Yamcha back soon.  I wouldn't probably die on this planet. I wouldn't……" she paused as an odd scent filled her nose.

            She looked over towards the kitchen and her eyes widened. How long had she been sitting here? She looked over to the clock beside the chair. It read 4:34. She was sitting there for almost and hour!

            She quickly stood up and ran into the kitchen.  She threw open the stove door and a large cloud of black smoke blew out.  She then reached onto the counter beside the stove and grabbed a fire extinguisher.  She pulled the latch on the extinguisher and pushed down the handle spraying it at the cookies that had caught fire!

After the cookies were put out she put down the fire extinguisher and turned off the stove, coughing on the smoke that still lingered in the air.  She grabbed out the cookie tray and quickly threw it onto the counter. "This is just great. I spend almost an hour preparing the mix to make it just right and then this happens!" She took the pan again and dumped all the cookies off of it into the trash before putting it in the sink.

            Bulma walked back into the pallor still agitated.  She glimpsed at the dragon balls before walking over to them and staring at them.  "Everything is your fault!"

            Just as she yelled that a loud bang came from outside.  Bulma quickly spun around to face the door and grabbed the dragon balls.  "Gotta hide you incase its Vegeta….." She then hurried around the house hearing more bangs and screaming from outside.  She threw one on the Dragon balls in the closet under the stairs and into a bowling ball bag before closing the door to the closet.

            The other one though she took with her and ran over next to the door and peeked outside a small window that was next to it.  As she looked outside she saw multiple ki beams flying and the she saw who was shooting them, it was Vegeta!

            What he was shooting at soon came into view.  She gasped as she saw Krillen and Gohan on the ground struggling to get up.  Beside them was another dragon ball!

Krillen looked over to Gohan as the child struggled to stand up and regain his balance. "Gohan, listen to me." He said and then Gohan.

Gohan averted his gaze to his friend that was still on the ground laying there, not even trying to get up. "What is it Krillen?" he asked.

Krillen shifted his gaze to Vegeta that had somehow managed to get the dragon ball while the two were talking and was now hovering in the air.

"Gohan, if worse comes to worse you have to destroy at least one dragon ball. After all, if you don't have all seven their useless" Krillen replied.

Gohan then smiled, "Hey! That's right Krillen!" Gohan then looked over to Vegeta, but then noticed that he wasn't there anymore.

"Looks like he's gone. Mind helping me up now?" Krillen asked Gohan who then went over to help his friend.

After Krillen stood up they flew out of the cave with the dragon ball locater in search of the other dragon balls, they would worry about the one Vegeta had later.

Bulma watched the whole thing from her spot at the window near the door. The strange thing was that even though she was watching she hadn't even seen Vegeta leave.

Bulma then sighed and then started to laugh to herself just realizing something. "Vegeta wouldn't come in here! He doesn't even have a dragon radar, he wouldn't even know I had the only two dragon balls he needed!" she continued laughing to herself.

"He probably didn't even see this place! I mean it's so dark in that cave and sayians are probably almost blind in the dark like most humans that don't have a flashlight. Stupid me! How could I think a stupid monkey like him could get in here!?"

"I wouldn't be all that confident onna….." A voice came from the now opened door that she was standing at only moments ago.
