A Place to Call Home By Hotchk9988 A/N: This story may not make sense since most of it takes place on Planet Vegeta. And I know darn well that Planet Vegeta no longer exists and that Vegeta's parents are dead. So stick with me on this. Thankx! N'joy! ^_^ ___________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 1 Bulma awoke from her deep sleep. Sunlight poured through the window while the constant beeping of the alarm clock was heard. Bulma slammed her hand down on the snooze button. The clock shined 8:45 as she stretched. "8:45? I'm late!!" She jumped up and ran to the bathroom. After she took a shower she brushed her teeth, combed her hair into a bun, and got dressed in a dress skirt that barely passed her knees and a suit like jacket. She rushed downstairs to find her 8 year old son, Trunks, sitting on the couch watching Saturday morning cartoons. "Mornin' Mom!" "Hey, sweetie." Bulma grabbed a bagel and a Slim fast shake out of the fridge and took a seat next to Trunks. She gulped down her food. "Slow down! What's the rush?" "Work." "Again?" "Yup." She finished her drink and asked: "Where's your father?" "Where else?" Trunks motioned towards the gravity room. She kissed his cheek. "Thanks, honey. Bye!" "Bye Mom!" Bulma ran to the gravity room, grabbing her briefcase on the way. She swung open the door and jerked back, almost forgetting about the gravity. Vegeta stopped training and powered down from super sayjin to his regular self. Bulma motioned towards the floor. He got her point and walked over and turned off the gravity. She ran over to him, almost tripping on her red heels. "What, woman?" "I'm going to work now. I'll be back around 3. Take Trunks to McDonalds for lunch, we have nothing to eat. And make sure he doesn't sit in front of the TV all day. I hate when he does." Vegeta nodded, not sure if he got everything. "OK but you better be back on time. I can't watch the brat all day." "I know."she said as she blew bangs out of her face. There were dark circles under her blue eyes. Concern filled Vegeta and he tilted her chin up to face him. "Is it work again?" She sighed. "Yeah. They want me to do so much while I have other stuff to do at home. Like chores, making lunch for 2 sayjins, building my robots. I barely have any time for stuff I enjoy...Oh, Vegeta." She threw her arms around him and buried her head in his chest. Vegeta put his arms around her in a warm embrace. He rarely ever did this, only when he knew Bulma needed him. Bulma looked up and whispered: "Thank you." She cleared her throat and spoke up. "Well look at the time! I'm gonna be late!" She gave him a kiss on the lips and turned away. "Bye, Vegeta!" she yelled as she ran out the door. Vegeta smirked and continued with his training. ~*~ "Come on brat. We're going to Mc...whatever." Vegeta said to Trunks. Trunks popped up from the couch and turned off the TV. "Really? Cool! We're goin' to McDonalds!" They flew out the front door. ~*~ Ring! Ring! The telephone's ring shrilled through the house as Bulma fumbled with the keys outside. She finally got the door unlocked and made a mad dash to the phone. "Hello, Capsule Corporation?" "Does Vegeta live at this presence?"said a deep raspy voice. "Umm..." Bulma found this odd because Vegeta never got phone calls, especially from someone who sounded like this. "Yes, but he's not here right now. Can I take a message?" "No."They hung up. "Hello? Hello?"Bulma hung up and wondered who would call Vegeta while she went upstairs to change into some comfortable clothes. ~*~ Vegeta opened the door as Trunks ran in. He dashed to the couch where his mother was sitting watching TV. "Look, Mom! Look!" He showed her the toy he got from McDonalds. It had mini spears which hit a shark and knocked it down. "That's nice, sweetie." He ran upstairs to play with his toy. Vegeta grabbed some eggrolls from the fridge and sat down at the kitchen table. "You had a phone call Vegeta." He looked over a Bulma. "Really?" "Uhuh. They sounded really weird."She chuckled. "Almost like a grown up you!Ha!" Vegeta narrowed his eyes and shrugged his shoulders. The phone rang. "I'll get it."Bulma said, eyes still glued to the TV. "Hello, Capsule Corp?" "Is Vegeta there now?"the deep raspy voice was on the phone again. "Who is this?" "Just get Vegeta on the phone, fool." "No! I demand to know who is speaking?!"Bulma yelled into the phone. Vegeta looked up. "Hehehe. Your worst nightmare."the voice said. "Ahhhh!!!" Bulma screamed an threw down the phone. She fell backwards and landed on the floor on her bottom. Vegeta got up and stomped over to the phone. "Who is this?!" He yelled. Then his voice quieted. "Sorry....yes, of course....I'll try to get there as soon as I can." Vegeta hung up. "Who was that?"Bulma asked as she stood up and brushed off her bottom. Vegeta casually walked over and pushed Bulma onto the couch. He sat back down at the table. "Hey, you jerk! Why'd you do that for?" Bulma exclaimed. All of a sudden a power ball blew through one wall and went out the other. It would of hit Bulma if she was standing up. "Uh..uh...uh...what?!"Bulma stuttered, eyes wide at how close it was to her. Vegeta pointed outside. "Trunks." Then Trunks stepped through the hole in the wall. "Oops...Heh heh...." Bulma looked at Vegeta and clasped her hands together as she mouthed 'thank you'. ~*~ That night Vegeta lay in bed with his hands behind his head. Bulma was next to him, reading a book. "Bulma, that was my father that called today."Vegeta said looking at the ceiling. "Your-your-your father??" "Yes. He wants me to go back to Planet Vegeta." "Back to Planet Vegeta! But you have a family now! What about me and Trunks? You can't leave us again!"Bulma slammed down her book. "I'm taking you with me. And Trunks." "Really?! Why?" "I'm supposed to bring all the sayjins and their families. Including that idiot Kakarot and his family." Bulma put her head down to think. "Alright we'll go." "Tomorrow morning. Be ready."Vegeta said as he turned over to go to sleep. Bulma put her book away and thought for a while before turning off the light. ~*~ The next morning everyone, including: Vegeta, Bulma, Trunks, Goku, Chi-chi, and Goten(Gohan was on his honeymoon with Videl), piled into Bulma's humongous jet copter. "This is gonna be cool!" Trunks said to Goten. "Your dad has a planet?"Goten said. "Yeah! He's a prince! So am I!" "Cool!" Goku looked around for any food. "You wouldn't happen to have any food, Bulma?" "No. Sorry. Don't worry, we're almost there."Bulma said as she enjoyed the view of space. Vegeta grunted. "Kakarot, when we get on that planet, you will bow down to me! I am royalty there." "No, I won't!"Goku laughed. Vegeta growled and made a gesture towards him. Chi-chi covered Goku's mouth. "Why don't you just be quiet for now? We don't want to ruin Bulma's ship." "OK" Goku mumbled. Soon Planet Vegeta was in view. "Wow..." Bulma leaned forward admiring it's red glow. Vegeta smirked. "Do you like it?" "Uhuh!" "Well it's yours after my parents die." "What are you talking about?"Bulma asked, confused. "I will be king. I married you so you are my queen and Trunks is the prince. Once my parents die I can take over and rule Planet Vegeta." "Oh...I'm a queen!" "Not yet." They landed on a flat dirt ground. They all stepped out and looked around. The sky was an eerie red color that was dark with clouds. The dirt matched the color of the sky and up ahead was a city. It was not that big but had tall buildings and was very crowded with hover cars and sayjins. A great clear dome covered the city. "It is filthy here!" Chi-chi exclaimed. "Quiet down, woman! Sayjins do not like humans." Vegeta explained. Bulma and Chi-chi put their hands on their hips. All of a sudden a bright light was seen soaring across the sky. It landed not too far in front of them. It was a sayjin.
