Welcome! This is a story I just finished writing and I hope you'll like it. As a warning, there are a few short chapters in this. I tend to write in a format that is somewhat like an episode of the show, so I sometimes have short filler scenes in the story. I hope this won't frustrate you too much when reading this.
This takes place at the beginning of the three years of training for the Androids. In this story, Goku drops by to have lunch with Bulma and ends up getting himself and Vegeta into more trouble than he bargained for that day. Some of it's funny, some of it's sad with a little drama thrown in the mix. I gave it a T rating because, well Vegeta tends to swear when he gets mad! Lol! Enjoy!
Time and Again
It was the calm before the storm
It was the calm before the storm. The training period of three years had just begun in preparation for the arrival of the androids. Bulma and Vegeta had not yet discovered their attraction for one another and the last remaining threads of her relationship with Yamcha were unraveling. This was Bulma's first attempt at creating a time machine and it came about quite by accident. The original design was for a cargo carrier to transport large amounts of Capsules in a more efficient way, but on this particular day, it would prove to be an invention that she wished she'd never thought of.

Bulma sat on the upstairs patio having her morning coffee and watching the sunrise. It was not yet six A.M. and it was going to be a long day in a series of long days since Vegeta became a permanent houseguest in the Briefs' household. Her father, Dr. Briefs, was spending most of his time now studying Sayian technology and rebuilding or redesigning Vegeta's training gear, making them stronger to keep up with his ever growing strength and abilities. This left Bulma with the duty of working on all the other contracts for Capsule Corp. Not that she really minded so much, with Vegeta and Yamcha training for the Androids, there was little else to do. She hadn't been on a date or out with friends in months and boredom was setting in.
She looked out over the Capsule complex as the sun began to chase the morning shadows away. She could see the glow from the gravity pod windows and she knew Vegeta was already awake and training. Somewhere across the compound Yamcha slept in his apartment he had moved to after their last and no doubt final argument over Vegeta's staying at the Corp in the main house. She knew he wouldn't be up before eight and hoped he would be to busy training today to pester her in the lab while she tried to get some real work done.
Her current project was a new type of transportation module that would revolutionize moving large amounts of goods around the world. Even with everything now packed in easy to carry Capsules, you still had to get them into the hands of the users. If all went well, this machine could move hundreds of them to stores and distributors in a matter of minutes. She would spend the day doing the initial testing on the prototype and if successful, building the real thing could begin right away. 'Then I'm going to the beach', thought Bulma, sighing. That is unless something else big came up. She had finished her coffee, so she went down to the kitchen for a second cup before heading for her lab in Building 7A.
Well this was more or less a setup chapter. Trust me it gets more exciting as it goes along. I love to get reviews and camments, so please do leave them. See ya next chapter!
