Author's Note: I re-did my whole plot when I added Chichi to the story, and I got to say I like it a whole lot better.

Title: Warp Hole
Chapter 2: Captured
Bulma woke up inside the time machine with a headache so bad; it felt like someone hit her in the head with a wooden bat. She looked behind her and saw that Chichi was still knocked out, so she shook her gently to wake her up. Chichi began to stir, but she didn't wake up and with a smile she mumbled, "Hmm... Goku. Stop, not in front of Gohan hehe." Bulma rolled her eyes at her friend, and yelled, "Chichi wake up!"
Chichi jumped up so fast, she bumped her head on the top of the time machine. She then glared at Bulma, who was too busy looking at her surroundings to notice the angry look her friend was giving her. Chichi then said angrily, "Seriously Bulma! Ever heard of shaking someone gently awake? You nearly scared me half to death!"
Bulma didn't pay her friend no mind; she was too busy wondering where they were. She got out the time machine and noticed they were in a forest, but not just any forest, a forest full of trees that were a blood red color. She's heard of red wood trees, but this is ridiculous! Even the leaves on the tree were red too! She then looked up into the sky and noticed it was red. I guess it's safe to say this isn't Earth. It also seemed to be daytime here too.
Chichi was furious. How dare her friend just ignore her like that? She came out the time machine too, she was going to give Bulma a piece of her mind, but as soon as she looked at her surroundings, she completely forgot her anger. Now she was worried about where she was. Chichi looked at Bulma who was currently still looking at the red sky and asked in a panicked tone, "Bulma where are we? We are not on Earth; Earth does not have trees like this, or a damn red sky! Please tell me you know where we are!"
"I'm not sure. We could be anywhere, in any time, and in any dimension." Bulma replied now looking at the ground.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Bulma heard Chichi scream and came running to where she was, which was near a lake. "What's wrong Chi?" Bulma asked in concern. She looked at her friend who was currently looking at her reflection in the forest lake.
"I-I'm younger." Chichi said in shock. Bulma looked at Chichi and she was right, she looked like she was in her early 20's. Chichi pointed at Bulma with a shaky finger and said, "Y-you are t-too." Bulma ran over to the lake to look at her reflection too, she too looked whole lot younger. What the hell? Could it be the warp hole that did this?
Chichi then says, "I thought we were going to travel through time, not our bodies themselves!"
"Hey don't blame me; I didn't even know Warp Holes were even capable of reversing the aging process!" Bulma said in shock.
"Well what DO you know Ms. Genius?" Chichi said angrily.
"You know what bitc-" Bulma started but stopped after she heard a branch snap near them in the forest.
"Why-" Chichi was cut off by Bulma's hand over her mouth. She heard something or someone close by, and she didn't want whoever they are to find them. Bulma then whispers, "Quiet. someone's watching us." Bulma then removes her hand from Chichi's mouth.
"What do we do now?" Chichi whispers back scared. Bulma looks around them to see if they could find whoever was watching them, she then says, "Let's walk back to the time machine, I have capsules with guns in them. C'mon." Bulma motioned over to Chichi to walk with her to the time machine quietly, but before they could even walk five steps, two figures fazed in front of them with super speed. Both women were beyond terrified, so they looked at the ground until they got the courage to look up at the two people who were currently standing in front of them. But when they did, they were surprised to see... Raditz and Goku?
"You two will be coming with us, that's an order. We are to bring you to our king."Raditz said, as he grabbed Bulma, and Kakarot grabbed Chichi. Both Bulma and Chichi were struggling to get out of the strong grasps of the Saiyan men, but to no avail. 'I can't believe I'm seeing Goku again... but he's not MY Goku. He's different.' Chichi thought.
Both Saiyans began to levitate off the ground, till they were above the red trees of the forest. Then they began to fly at full speed. Both Bulma and Chichi involuntary began to hold on tight to the Saiyan that was flying them, well it was involuntary for Bulma that is.
Kakarot didn't like that the woman he was holding in his arms right now was a spy, She was really pretty. He couldn't think this way, she was an enemy, but it did feel nice holding her like this. Her skin was soft and she smelled good. Ok he really needed to stop thinking like this, but he couldn't help it, this woman was very beautiful.
Chichi was torn. She was scared about what would happen to her, but it was such a pleasant feeling to be held by Goku again. She was having mixed emotions. She wanted for Goku to kiss her and tell her it was just a bad dream, but she knew it wasn't. She had to face the facts, this man wasn't her husband. Her husband had died from a heart virus years ago. So as much as she wanted to believe the man that was carrying her was the man she fell in love with, she couldn't.
Bulma looked at her friend Chichi, who was staring up at Goku, or whoever he was, with a look of mixed emotions. Bulma couldn't imagine what her friend was going through right now, but if they were where she thought they were, she would find out soon.
The two Saiyans were beginning to land in front of a huge castle. The castle was beautiful. It was black and was outlined with gold on all the corners of it. There were pillars in front of the entrance of the castle that were also black, and had three gold stripes going around the top and bottom of the pillar. There was also a garden behind the castle, which was visible to them as they were levitating over the castle, but they only got to see it briefly.
As the two Saiyans landed in front of the castle, the details became more visible. There was also gold outlining the window frames, and on the brown twin door entrance to the castle, there was a big gold V in a black circle. Both Bulma and Chichi couldn't believe that Saiyans were capable of constructing a castle so elegant.
Raditz put Bulma down roughly, without caring how she landed. She ended up falling flat on her butt. "Ow! Why did you have to put me down so rough?" Bulma asked rubbing her butt to ease the pain. She got no answer from Raditz.
Kakarot put Chichi down gently. Raditz gave his brother a weird look confused as to why be was being so civil with the spy, but Kakarot just did his signature goofy grin and shrugged his shoulders. Chichi almost smiled at that, she was glad that at least that wouldn't change about him, no matter what dimension.
"Follow us, and if you try to run, we can easily catch you. I don't understand why Cooler would send someone as weak as you guys are, he must have had a mental lapse or something." Raditz said as he and Kakarot began to walk in front of them. Bulma and Chichi followed behind, walking through a hallway. Bulma thought about what Raditz said. Why would they think they were sent by some guy named Cooler? Who is Cooler? Bulma decided not to think about it too much, she would find out soon.
Chichi looked at Bulma with a glare on her face, and whispered, "This is all your fault."
"This is not my fault, and why are you blaming everything on me? You said you wanted to come along." Bulma said glaring back.
Raditz turned around and said, "Be quiet you two. We're here." He stopped at black doors with same symbol on the entrance doors.
Kakarot and Raditz opened the doors to the throne room, where Bulma and Chichi saw a bald guy talking to the monarchs, whom were sitting on their thrones. The bald guy was also holding two people by their wrists. Bulma noticed Vegeta on the throne farthest to the left, and her heart skipped a beat. It's not fair for her and Chichi to be SO close to the ones they love and yet they can't have them again. That warp hole was cruel for sending them to Planet Vegeta, and yes Bulma knew that that's exactly where they were. Her stomach did a flip when Prince Vegeta began to speak.
"Are you sure these are Cooler's spies Nappa?" Prince Vegeta said.
"Yes your majesty." Nappa replied.
"Bardock are these people the idiot spies from your vision that I will take pleasure in killing today?" King Vegeta asked with a smirk.
'So that's where Vegeta gets the smirk from. It's like a family trait or something, because even the queen is doing it too.' Bulma thought to herself amused.
"Yes your Highness, that's them." Bardock confirmed.
"Wait Your Highness! My apologies for interrupting your greatness, but I may have more spies that need to be disposed of." Raditz said before walking in the throne room dragging a reluctant Bulma and Chichi. Kakarot just walked in behind them.
"Bardock, didn't you say you say that there were only two spies from Cooler?" Queen Celereena asked.
"Yes, that is correct. There are only two spies, but I have seen that bluenette girl in my vision too. Somehow she was able to provide Prince Vegeta some assistance into becoming the legendary. Although, I have not seen this other woman before." Bardock explained.
Prince Vegeta looked at the blue haired woman, and wondered how someone as weak as her could help him become legendary. She was attractive, he'll give her that, but how could she possibly help? Maybe that second class soldier is mixing up his stupid visions.
"You two, answer these questions. Who are you and where did you come from? Why are you on Planet Vegeta, do you work for Cooler?" King Vegeta asked, pointing to both Bulma and Chichi.
Bulma was the first to answer. "My name is Bulma and her name is Chichi. We're from Earth, we're humans."
"Impossible! Kakarot killed all the humans as an infant." Prince Vegeta said.
"I'm not from this dimension... I built a time machine and got sucked in a warp hole, sending us here. We didn't purposely want to come here." Bulma said, while Chichi shook her head up and down in agreement.
"I don't believe you... However, Bardock says you can help my son become legendary, and for that reason alone I won't kill you today. I will keep a close eye on you two, so I need you to stay in the palace for the time being." King Vegeta said, then he pointed to Kakarot. "Kakarot, take them to the room upstairs, down the hall, third door to the right. I'll inform one of the maids to come to your room later, to give you both a change of clothes. Dinner will be at seven o'clock, and I suggest you don't be late. Remember I don't fully trust you two, so it is important to your life to do as I ask. Is that understood?"
'Wow we lucked out! I thought we'd be dead for sure! Thank Kami!' Thought Bulma.
"Yes your majesty." Said Bulma.
"Yes Your Highness." Said Chichi.
"Good I'm glad we're clear. Kakarot, take them to their room." King Vegeta commanded.
"Of course, your majesty." Kakarot said, as he began walking to where their room was located, to which Bulma and Chichi followed closely behind. They began walking up the steps on a staircase leading to the upstairs hallway.
"Did you two really arrive here in a time machine? Oh excuse my manners, my name is Kakarot, but you probably already know that right?" Kakarot asked while turning around to greet the two women walking behind him.
Both Bulma noticed that Kakarot's personality was still like Goku's. He must just genuinely be a nice person, even being raised as a Saiyan.
Chichi answered him. "Yes we did, we have proof too. Our time machine is still in the forest that you guys took us from."
Kakarot scratched the back of his neck and had a goofy grin on his face, as he said, "I'm sorry about that by the way, my brother and I thought you guys were spies for Cooler. My bad Haha! I'm really glad you're not!"
"It's ok, we forgive you. My name is Chichi, and that's Bulma." Chichi said, introducing herself and Bulma.
"It's nice to meet you guys, and here's your room. Is there anything I can do for you guys before I go?" Kakarot asked.
"Not really, but thank you for asking." Chichi said with a smile.
"No problem. Well I probably have to go then, the king might need me to do something else, but I'm sure we'll see each other again since you're staying at the castle now." Kakarot said mostly to Chichi.
"Yeah I'm sure we will." Chichi said smiling.
Bulma was just watching the two talk. Chichi might even get Gok-Um Kakarot in this dimension. Amazing how things are so different, yet are so much the same. Bulma smiled at them.
"Well I got to go. Bye Bulma, and bye Chichi." Kakarot said to them both, he smiled more saying Chichi's name. He then waved to them and made his exit.
Chichi kept watching him till he walked away. Bulma was the one to open the door to their room. It was huge! The room was painted a navy blue and had light blue carpet. It had two canopy beds, but the room was so big that the other canopy bed was way across the room. If you kept walking into the room there was a door that lead to the bathroom. The bathroom was nice too. It was painted black and with golden outlines, like the outside of the castle. The bathroom had all the things a bathroom should, but it also had a spa bathtub or in other words a hot tub.
"Wow this place is nice. Come here Chichi!" Bulma said excitedly.
"Whoa. I could get used to living here." Chichi said in a trance-like state.
There was a knock on the door at 5:30pm. Bulma had opened the door for the expected maid. "Here for you and for you." The maid said handing Bulma a blue dress and Chichi a red dress, she then informed them by saying, "Let me know if there's anything else I could do for you. Those buttons on the walls by both your beds are for signaling maids to come to your room for anything. Feel free to use them, and in case you want to request me to be the one to assist you, my name Carotene. Do you have any questions?"
"Yes. Where is dinner going to be located? This castle is huge; we don't know where anything is." Bulma asked.
"The King knew you wouldn't know where the dining room was, so he's sending the Prince to escort you two there. Best to be ready by 6:30pm, the Prince is even more inpatient than the King." Carotene said laughing a little. "Is there anything else?"
"No that's all for now, thank you." Bulma said.
"Let me know if you need anything else." Carotene said as she left the room.
"Chi is it ok with you if I use the shower first?" Bulma asked.
"Sure, go right ahead." Chichi replied.
'Good thing I always keep a capsule with makeup on me.' Bulma thought, proud of herself.
