The group left early morning and it was until noon that they stopped for lunch in the way Vegeta had opened up a very little bit to only Bulma. That was more than enough for Karris who started to see him and her too opening a bit. On the way Vegeta and Karris had told them the stories of saiyan and their mission on earth. "I can help you with the training ". Said Bulma during the lunch break." How can you help us?" questioned Karris. "Well you see as I invented the dragon radar I am a genius and my father is too so we can build some equipment for you and Vegeta to train". "What about me?" said Goku who was not happy with them training only. "Sorry but you are not old enough so it's only me and Karris" said Vegeta though it sounded like an order. Goku was sad but suppressed it. Soon it was night and they were only some distance away from their old residence. Vegeta was not happy that they were barely 5 miles away from it but forget about that it could mean that he could study Bulma more. "Vegeta, I think you should bring firewood while I can bring the food and then we can continue searching for a way to stay". Said Goku and Vegeta agreed and they both flew away leaving Karris to protect her. When they were out of earshot Karris thought about talking to Bulma about Vegeta
"Bulma, I know we are still strangers to you but you still believe us right?" Said Karris to which Bulma nodded. "See, I am not the one to say this but I can read thoughts and I know how you feel about the prince". Bulma immediately blushed but couldn't form words to reply. " Don't worry, I won't tell it to him not right now but I have to tell him and you too must know that he feels the same way about you ".
Bulma was happy so she thought that she could open up a bit more."Yeah that would be good; even he will open up if you do so." Said Karris "Crap I forget that he could read thoughts" thought Bulma. Karris just smiled and then went near her and said "Prince has never opened up to anyone, even to me and I know him since we were 2 year old and you got past me in just 2 days Bulma. Please he is in trouble and has nobody to look after him except for me and Kakarot even his parents are dead so it you have to promise me that you will never leave him". Karris had to fight back his tears as he too remembered his parents. "Yes, I promise you don't worry "
Karris smiled and then went back and sat on a stone. Meanwhile Vegeta had brought some wood and Kakarot was back with a deer. Bulma refused to eat it and she took out a capsule and threw it to the ground and there was food there instead of that capsule. "WHAT WAS THAT?" asked Vegeta which was followed by surprised looks from Karris and Goku. "It's a capsule Vegeta and it was invented by my father". Vegeta though astonished was able to keep a straight face while the other two were impressed.
"And as for our residence I have a capsule with a home so we can stay in that". Bulma said. Meanwhile Karris had contacted to Bulma mentally. Though she experienced a horrible pain she did not show any pain outward. "Bulma this is me Karris, see I can contact you through this and you too can do the same I will open a direct link between you and Vegeta later but now listen choose a smaller house with just 2 rooms and kitchen okay". Bulma was confused but agreed and then she thought how amazing Karris was but he said that Vegeta was even stronger than him and almost had learnt all of his moves except for the two he had demonstrated to Bulma.
After dinner Bulma took out the capsule and poof there was a small house. Vegeta went inside and saw that house had a small living room a kitchen and just 2 bed rooms. Karris said "I and Kakarot will sleep in one room so you and Bulma would have to share the other room ". Vegeta immediately blushed but Bulma smiled and contacted him mentally. 'So this was your plan' No reply came from the other side but Vegeta came up with an idea "I can sleep on the ground" Karris knew it so he said. "Nope, you can't do it Prince as a member of the royal family of the saiyan society you cannot sleep on the ground". Vegeta shot an angry glare towards him but couldn't understand his motive. "I will sleep on the ground then". Vegeta was surprised to see it was Bulma. Nobody had sacrificed their comfort for Vegeta not even his family and this girl he barely knows ready to sleep on the ground when she was helping them and it was also her own house. "NO, its okay we can...ugh….share the bed if it is alright with you".
Bulma was happy and she quickly went into the room and went into the bathroom for a bath and Vegeta just went into the bed after changing his dress and started reading a book. He was so engrossed in it that he didn't even notice her coming. "Wow, I didn't know you love to read books too ".said Bulma and she too grabbed a book and started reading besides him on the bed. Bulma almost fell asleep while reading the book and Vegeta thought that she had fallen asleep therefore he put the book and helped her to sleep. Meanwhile Bulma was awake the whole time and when she saw how Vegeta was helping her she smiled mentally. Vegeta continued reading the book for another hour when he heard Bulma shivering a bit so he pulled her a little closer to him. Saiyans being a desert race where warmer than humans. Bulma was awake when he did it and she felt that his tail had wrapped around her waist and Vegeta too switched off the lights and fell asleep.
Bulma woke up the next morning to see that it was 7 and Vegeta was still sleeping beside her and the tail was still wrapped ar. She was way too close to him. In fact she could feel his breath on her face. She somehow got up and started to get ready for the day. Vegeta too woke up after sometime and sensed that everybody was awake and he hurriedly got ready and went outside to see everyone taking in the fresh air.
"What took you so long Vegeta" asked Goku and Bulma together. Instead of answering he started to walk in the direction they were walking the day before. They saw a turtle who was attacked by a Bear who was scared away by Vegeta and Goku helped the Turtle to carry him to the shore. Bulma true to her word started to open up and Vegeta though afraid at first started to open up and they walked with hand in hand.
Karris and Goku smiled at the couple and were happy that Vegeta had at last found someone who he can care about and rely on
