CHAPTER 1

It had been 3 days! 3 days since I left that puny planet called Chikyuu! I still can't believe that low classed baka and his half breed son actually beat me! Well not really, I'll go back after I use the Nemekian Dragonballs to become immortal and destroy Frieza! I'll make them pay! But still… there is something about that fight that bothered me. What is it?

Flashback

"We still have an hour Nappa. Go have some fun!" laughed the saiyanjin prince as he watched his companion fly towards the curious humans.

"You can't do that!" yelled an enraged Gohan.

"Stop Gohan! We need to wait for your father. As much as I hate to admit it, we do. We can't do anything to stop them yet," Piccolo said while holding a struggling Gohan back.

Soon Gohan stopped struggling and began to calm down. "Okay Mr. Piccolo. I just hope my dad gets here soon!" Gohan looked dejectedly at his feet, feeling for all of the poor souls who would come to an end at the hands of Nappa. "Who's that?" Gohan asked eagerly as his line of vision shifted east of the battle field.

"Oh shit! Why did she have to come? She knows better than that! And Yamucha will kill me if anything happens to her!" a worried Krillin whined.

Her? wondered the saiyanjin prince, watching intently through the corner of his eye at the group. How do they know who it is?

Just then a navy blue hover craft landed as a beautiful blue haired woman jumped out. "Are you guys okay? I brought you guys some water and some senzus," she said as she grabbed a bag of water bottles.

After passing out all the water the woman watched as everyone drank thirstily. "Thanks Bulma, that was really refreshing. But you shouldn't be here," warned Gohan, "It's too dangerous!"

"It's okay Gohan. Don't worry about me. Oh, by the way, here are the senzus. I hope they make everyone feel better!" she said as she pulled out a little black pouch and tossed a tiny green bean to everyone. As the group took their turn popping a senzu bean into their mouths, Bulma took a look at her surroundings. Desert she thought as she took in her barren surroundings. Only sand, rocks, and overhanging cliffs met her eyes. That's when she spotted the small saiyanjin. She watched as his scouter started beeping and a look of surprise crossed his face, Bulma had to smile knowing full well it had been caused by the rejuvenating effects of the senzu beans on Chikyuu's warriors. As she turned back to ask when Goku would arrive she was interrupted.

She jumped as a deep male voice spoke harshly. "What the hell did you just do woman?" a snarling saiyanjin demanded. It took Bulma a fragment of a moment to find her voice, and the look on the saiyainjin's face meant that it was long enough to show that he had frightened her.

She turned, eyes ablaze with a deep roaring fire, cheeks slightly flushed and planted her feet; she was no longer afraid. Her anger had pushed all her fear away the instant she saw the smug look on his face. "Look here you short pathetic vegetable head of a saiyanjin. This is our planet and I can do whatever the hell I want without having to tell a brain-dead, son-of-a-bitch, monkey-boy like... ahh!" Bulma screeched as she was lifted off the ground by Nappa.

She was well off the ground, at least 3 feet. Nappa had his huge fist wrapped around her fragile throat so she was completely unable to breathe. "NO ONE SPEAKS TO PRINCE VEGETA LIKE THAT! No one; and now I will crush you you..." he was suddenly cut off by an enraged saiyanjin prince.

"Drop her Nappa." Vegeta's demanded calmly as his anger rose. He took a few deep breaths, his anger receding. Nappa let go, staring daggers at Bulma. She landed with a thud and glared as icily, if not more so, back at Nappa. Krillin was the first by her side, but she only shrugged him off and stood up on her own.

After she got to her feet she turned back to Krillin. "You asshole, I can get up on my own! I'm not a fucking child! So stop treating me like that cheating slimy, scum-sucking, piece of shit Yamucha does! He's an asshole and I hope we NEVER wish him back!" She shouted.

Krillin looked at the ground, ashamed, confused and surprised. I never knew that they had broken up! Oh well this isn't the time for that! "I know Bulma. But I think that you had better go, our time is almost up!"

"Didn't you just hear me Chrome Dome? I just said that I'm NOT A CHILD! So stop treating me like one!" She huffed. When she calmed a little she said, "I'll leave when I wish. Now... SHUT UP!" When she finished she smacked him upside the head as hard as she could and sent him flying a couple of meters away.

Vegeta just sat there very amused. Ha, Chrome Dome getting beaten up by a... gorgeous woman. WHAT! What am I thinking? Soon after Bulma walked over to a large boulder and sat down to await the arrival of Goku. All the while there was one saiyanjin prince that couldn't take his eyes off of her.

End Flashback

What was wrong with me? And why didn't I just let Nappa kill her? What is happening to me? It must have been the Chikyuu atmosphere. I'll be back to normal once I get back to the base and start the journey to Namek. That was Vegeta's last coherent thought as the sleeping gas took effect again.

Meanwhile back on Chikyuu.

"Oh great, now we have to go all the way to Namek to wish them back?" Bulma asked Mr. Popo.

"I'm afraid so." He answered in his usual very calm voice.

"Well for starters, how are we supposed to get there? My father isn't finished the shuttle yet." Bulma was starting to pace, trying desperately to come up with a plan.

"You could take Kami's ship from when he first arrived. The controls are all in Nemekian but I could teach you all you would need to know." Popo stated flatly.

Bulma opened her mouth but didn't even get her question out before Popo answered, "The coordinates for Namek should still be programmed on the ship. We just need someone smart enough to go that can understand it. That's why we are asking you." Popo finished matter-of-factly.

Bulma was beaming, "Okay, I'll go."

2 days later.

"Yes Chichi I promise I'll take good care of him." Bulma persisted.

"Make sure he studies everyday!" Chichi yelled as the door of the ship shut and they took off. It was very painful for Chichi to see her son go off to outer space without her to keep in working on his studies.

Inside the ship.

"Okay guys, here's your rooms." Bulma said showing each of them a room, one beside the other.

"Wow Bulma this is great!" Gohan cried. "You and your dad did all of this in 2 days?" he asked admiring his surroundings. It was huge! It had a king size bed, a huge walk in closet, his own bathroom, a nice big desk with and a lamp. It also held a TV and communication console just incase he wanted to talk to Chichi or his father. The walls were painted orange with blue border, the same color as his father's Gi. There was an adjacent room which was attached to Krillin's as well.

"I guess this is the training room, huh?" Krillin asked taking everything in at once.

"Yeah, it joins to each of your rooms. You both have your own bathrooms, so you don't have to worry about showers. The gravity controller is over there." she pointed to a large console that held many buttons. "Okay guys, that's about it. Dinner will be ready in 1 hour," Bulma said leaving the room as the boys got "settled in."

"Computer, when will we reach Namek?" Bulma asked in Namek.

"14 days" was the reply in an unmistakably computerized voice. The flight plan come up instantly on the huge screen detailing the following 14 days.

"Okay then, better start some cooking," Bulma said as she turned and left in the direction of the kitchen.
