chapter 1: prospects

The three Vegittasei suns were just starting to peak over the rims of the black, jagged mountains that surrounded the capital city. Bulma Briefs stepped out of her family arena with a white towel draped across her shoulders and beads of sweat dripping down her face. She had started training five hours ago.

She quickly walked into the courtyard and plunged her head into the crystal clear water of the centerpiece fountain. Being an elite family also meant being a wealthy family, the Brief's arena was the largest in the neighborhood. Both her parents worked in the military science department and Bulma would follow in their footsteps…at least in the genius factor.

She jerked her head out of the water, her long blue hair flying in an arc behind her, soundly slapping her back and flinging water everywhere. A few azure strands plastered themselves to her face and she brought up a hand to pull them behind her ears. Of all the Saiya-jins in the universe, she had to be the one with the oddity. Her color was all wrong. Instead of black eyes, black hair and brown tail, she had blue hair, blue eyes, and yes…blue tail. Bulma sighed as she wrapped her tail around her waist, shuddering slightly when the freezing water hit it.

"Bulma! It's seven thirty!" a female voice rang through the courtyard. "You'd better hurry…you'll be late for class!" Bulma muttered a stream of curses as she ran back into the house and up to her room to shower and change.

She turned on the hot water full blast and practically ripped off her training suit. "I can't believe I lost track of the time!" she muttered aloud as she vigorously scrubbed shampoo in her hair. After washing she flared her ki to dry herself and ran into her room to put on another training suit and her boots. She then ran down the stairs to grab a few power bars and yell goodbye to her parents.

The blue Saiya-jin quickly took to the air and flew at top speed to the main high school building. Today Bulma's class would be taking a trip to the palace arena to spar with the supreme elites and palace guards. Bulma had just turned nineteen, along with most of her class and soon they would be assigned posts and jobs. There would be planets to purge, battles to be fought. Bulma smiled and she flew faster, today would be the day her life would change forever. She would kick everyone's ass and be chosen immediately to join the ranks of Supreme Elite…maybe even a Royal Guard! Yes, she smirked. I will be the best fighter there, no more relying on technology to get me places, no more insults on my coloring. This is my day in the sun! Of course Bulma was as smart as her father, if not smarter, and she had been proving that time and time again. She was always known for her scientific mind. Today, she would be known for her brute strength. Bulma didn't look buff or strong, but she was all muscle and ki.

She landed at the main entrance of the school and composed herself. Her blue hair was completely disheveled from the wind and she had no makeup on. Taking out a capsule from her boot, she popped open her battle-fit foundation/powder and quickly put some on before walking in the school.

"Hey BULMA!" a loud voice screamed when she pushed a glass door open. Bulma smiled as her best friend Chichi came running up to her. Out of everyone in the school, Bulma liked Chichi the best because, like her, she was also the wrong color. But with her, you really had to look close to see it. Her hair and tail were normal but her eyes were a rich, chocolate brown.

"Chichi! What's up? Ya ready to train with the big boys today?" Chichi smiled and nodded vigorously. She too had been waiting for this day. Ever since she was born she had been ignored, her parents had been killed on a purging mission and she had been left alone to fend for herself at the age of ten, living on the streets for a time. Even then she wasn't noticed, even with her strange eyes. But now, she would make them all notice…when she put everyone in the palace arena in intensive care, that is everyone accept Bulma. Bulma was the only person she could remember that had ever been nice to her.

Bulma put an arm around her best friend's shoulder and shook her a bit, seeing she had zoned out. "Daydreaming 'bout the destruction?" she asked. Chichi nodded again and smiled broadly. Bulma tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"We'll show 'em today B-chan. This is the best day of my life!" Chichi and Bulma then started laughing like raving lunatics. Several heads turned and black eyes narrowed. Who knows what the 'Freaks' were doing, who cared. They would show them what a weakness being different was in the arena…

whooo! Looks like Bulma and Chichi are gonna have their hands full…but then again maybe not. Wanna find out what happens next, REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
