Yamcha knows he's dead but he did not expect the scene that laid before his very eyes. Baba and himself standing in a sea of nothingness. She moves towards me, her mouth is moving but I can't register the words. Where am I? He was bemused by his whereabouts. I have fought for the earth countless times but this is not where I am I suppose to be?!"WHY AM I HERE?" Baba is taken back by this sudden outburst and points her finger at this insolent mortal "be quiet fool."

Baba's crystal ball floats in between the two. She calmly explains to him again "Your spirit is tormented with regret and longing, that's why you can't see King Yama and travel to other world as you once did." It felt like a lifetime had passed before he could process or even face the reality of her words. Before he could even formulate a response, she spoke again. "You were never destined to be with her, she belonged with him as he belonged with her." Suddenly it felt like he had been hit with all the force of the universe. He painfully whispers her name "Bulma"

A hurricane of emotions surging through his mind and soul, taking him into an abyss. "NO, I don't believe it! I REFUSE! If I hadn't been young and foolish, she wouldn't have fallen for HIM." Again a whirlwind of regret anguish filled him to the very core. She was MY DESTINY and I let that fool steal her from me. He was and never will be worthy of someone like her. Bulma wouldn't of even given him the time of day had I not been unfaithful. I let temptations get the best of me and drove her to his arms. She would of never left if my attention hadn't been diverted elsewhere. We were meant for each other. She was my world. We were supposed to get married, have children and grow old together. It was suppose to be US. "YOU KNOW NOTHING" He screams at Baba with such ferocity that his blood boils setting his soul ablaze. He was furious with himself, at the sayian prince and even at Bulma. There was a small part of himself that thought one day she would come to her sense and be back by his side. After a lifetime of waiting and yearning, only to be gifted with an endless pit of despair. She never returned…

Baba stared at Yamcha with a look of pity before started talking again "You wont believe my words but I can show you….Even under different circumstances, you were not meant for one another. Vegeta Bulma's fate were written and sealed long before their existence." Upon hearing those vituperative words slip from her mouth, he nearly loses any and all sanity. He couldn't begin to fathom this reality that Baba spoke of, his mind wonders back to the desert… to the scene of his first meeting with Bulma. She was so beautiful and filled with a look of affection that was directed only at him. It had been destiny that she would set foot in his desert at that moment to meet HIM; that was their destiny.

Then it hits him like a truck going at full speed, "BABA" he screams. "What if Freiza never existed, the saiyans wouldn't have a reason to come to Earth. Vegeta would of never met Bulma." Baba sighs, she knew this was going to be a long day. Yamcha Baba gaze into the crystal ball, the scene showed Bulma in the lab with her father, Dr. Briefs. As he hands her a circuit board he says "good news my dear, my space bots has made contact with a planet called Vegeta. The residents of that planet are interested in a meeting to discuss trade opportunities. They sent an invitation to visit their planet this morning. What do you say, would you be interested in an intergalactic adventure with your papa?" Bulma paused for a second, her mind drifted to Yamcha. Their relationship was in the off status again he was most likely chasing skirts. Just like that her mind was made up, she flashes a mischievous grin to accept her father's proposal. Bulma was delighted by the prospect of space travel, encountering new life forms and most of all the knowledge of new technology. She could barely contain her excitement, without even asking for a departure date and time; she was in midst of packing. After all, a girl always had to look her best.

Bulma calls the Son residence needing to speak with Goku. Chi-Chi answers the phone and is hesitant to give Goku the phone. She had always been suspicious of Bulma Goku's close relationship. Bulma held a place in Goku's life that she didn't understand and this bothered her to no end. Yes, they had grown up together but she was his wife now. Chi-Chi couldn't handle the intimacy that Goku Bulma shared for one another. Of course, Bulma had vigorously denied any romantic notion between the two but Chi-Chi thought there had to be more to their relationship. Goku answered the phone cheerfully as always, "Hi Bulma, its great to hear from you." Bulma lights up at Goku's voice, as the two had barely seen or spent much time together now that he was married and with a child on the way. "Goku, my dad I are going to space for the possibility of intergalactic trade." Goku pauses for a moment, "that's great Bulma, but how come your telling me this?" Bulma was a little taken back by the question, he was her best friend why wouldn't she share such exciting news with him? Bulma continued, "well silly, my dad and I are going to need someone strong to come with us for protection. We can't just blindly go with aliens we don't know. My dad and I want to hire you as our bodyguard. Since your having a baby, some extra money would be ideal." Goku considers what Bulma is saying, his mind goes back to the previous conversion between Chi-Chi himself.

*Flashback*

Chi-Chi places the last plate of meat on the table in front of Goku. Chi-Chi sits down while Goku brings her a bowl of rice, before sitting down with his own. Goku starts eating at an alarming rate as he had been a starving man in light of his first meal, Chi-Chi starts the conversation "Goku, we will need extra income for baby. You will probably need to find work. I hear the Roshi farm is hiring." Goku looked at her with a dumbfounded expression. Work, Goku thought… he had never worked a day in his life. What does work entail? Would he still be able to train? Goku never did understand the concept of money. They had everything they needed already. Goku didn't want to argue with his pregnant wife so he nodded.

After a long pause, Goku finally said "Let me discuss it with Chi-Chi, Bulma. I'm not sure she wants me to leave with her condition." Goku was her best friend he didn't need to say anymore than that. Bulma ended with conversation with one last sentence "the trip shouldn't take more than a month and we will compensate you handsomely but if you decide not to come, I understand."

A week had past, Bulma, Dr. Briefs Goku was standing before the foreign space ship. The doors open with a short figure in the middle and two large men in the back. On the left, he had ridiculously long hair, while the other one on the right had no hair whatsoever. They looked human enough with the exception of their sizes, Bulma couldn't really tell them apart from the humans on Earth. She did noticed they all wore the same brown belt on their hips. The short man in the middle walk toward Bulma Dr. Briefs, he introduces himself as "I am Tarble, a prince of planet Vegeta. To my right is Nappa and my left is Raditz. I have been sent by my father King Vegeta to escort you your guests to planet Vegeta." The man with the extremely long hair, Raditz quickly observes Goku with a flabbergasted expression. Dr. Briefs greets the young prince and gestures towards Bulma and Goku's direction, "this is my daughter Bulma and our staff Goku. They will be accompanying me on this trip. We are very pleased to make your acquaintance, your highness." Tarbles invites the three to enter his ship. As they walk toward Prince Tarble's ship, Bulma exchanges a look with Goku not quite sure why Raditz had stared at Goku in such a fixated manner. Raditz shows the three to their individual quarters on the ship, his gaze never leaving Goku. Dr. Briefs and Bulma both studied the ship intently, noting every piece of technology before them as any self respecting scientist would do.

Yamcha was livid and devastated at the sight before him. They would meet regardless and this time without Vegeta even having to set foot on Earth, he thought bitterly. He couldn't believe it, was the universe playing some cruel joke on him? Even in this alternate life, he had been brushed to the side once again. No, she was going to planet Vegeta but there was no guarantee they would to meet. After all, it was prince Tarble that had met them on Earth. Maybe Vegeta wouldn't be interested in her under these circumstances. There was still the opportunity for her to return to Earth where they could still mend their relationship. Yamcha turns to Baba with a renewed determination in his eyes "show me more, I need to see what happens."
