I don't own DBZ, but I own the idea of fatal accidents when you least expect them. Wait, I don't own that! Murphy's Law does! Darvit! This is after GT but before Goku's return at the World Tournament and Goku Jr. vs. Vegeta Jr.. This is when Bra is pregnant with Vegeta Jr., and something bad happens….Sorry, I'm making up

Vegeta Jr.'s father. His name is…most aren't going to like this…Goten. Sorry, my imagination is temporarily occupied. AND MY FRIEND eTRINITYs11 WON"T GIVE ME BACK MY DISK WITH LEMONDROPS AND STARDUST PART 2 SO I CAN FINISH!!!

Chapter 1: Omen of Future's Past

Vegeta sighed. Things really changed since Kakarot left. Now that all competition for power was gone, Vegeta had nothing to do. He was getting a little too old for training. And there was no point to it now, he wasn't going to get any stronger. He was the strongest. He'd never imagine that being the most powerful would be so incredibly lame, stupid, and exceptionally boring. Trunks was busy in college. Bra was busy taking care of herself and the embryo inside her. Nothing to do. Of course he was frustrated when he found out the father of the baby was none other than Goten. But he was somewhat happy for Bra and the entire race. A new saiyan prince was to be born. Vegeta did always tell Trunks and Bra that because he was the saiyan prince, and their grandfather, King Vegeta died that meant he was the King and Trunks was the prince and Bra was the princess. But that was a lie. You'd have to be full-saiyan blood to be royalty. And because he mated with a human, that meant he was still prince. But the new baby was to be full blood and related directly to him, he would be a prince too. Vegeta rested his head on the table. He was a grandfather. It amazed him. Bulma strode on by Vegeta, took a glance at him, smiled and kept walking. She knew about this new problem for Vegeta. She gratefully took this boredom of his as a plead for work. Now that she was the new founder of the Capsule Corp., she had lots to do in little time to do it. She ask him for help, and for a change he would coordinately accept the request. And she didn't have to go off and fix the Gravity Room whenever he broke it. Vegeta yawned. He couldn't think of what to do. He got up from the table walked past Bulma. He glanced at the clock and said, " I'm going to bed." With that, he walked out of the kitchen. Bulma pitied him, he was actually bored enough to go to bed at 10:00 p.m.. But something else was bugging him. It was about who he was, and what might happen.* What if….* He thought as he lied down. It was bugging him. He knew it, but…he was fighting himself if he should tell Bulma or not. " Why is it that the most powerful species in existence has to have a fairly short life span?" He knew that most full-blooded saiyans rarely ever lived past 50. He stretched out like a cat and relaxed. Bulma also came in about a half an hour later to go to bed. When she came in, he closed his eyes to make her think that he was sleeping. She was all ready for bed. She came over to his side of the bed and leaned over him. She gave him a peck on the cheek and said goodnight. Then she went to her side of the bed and climbed in. Vegeta stared at her in the dark. He had this strange empty feeling. Like something bad was going to happen….

For those who don't understand the title of the first chapter, you have to read the whole thing to understand. It's really complicated because you don't know what's real in the story and what's not. Wait! I wasn't suppose to tell you that! All of you readers, forget what I just said! *o* I like these 'oops!' faces! Anyways, the next chapter is really…harsh.

REVIEW! I TAKE FLAMES!
