Chapter 3

"Hello miss, my name is Bardock; my boys tell me that I can help you with something." Bardock said playing ignorant and sticking his hand out for a hand shake.

"Well, my name is Bulma, and I think you can help me because your sons told me you had a ball just like this one." Bulma said pulling out one of her dragon balls.

Bardock looked at Bulma a bit longer before he had a thought. 'Something seems different, has the future already been changed in some way.' He thought, but before he could get to deep in thought he answered Bulma.

"Yes I do have a ball just like that, but if I may ask, what do you want it for?" Bardock asked again acting surprised. Bulma put her ball away before turning back to Bardock.

"The balls are called dragon balls, and it's said that if anyone gathers all seven of them, they can make any one wish to the eternal dragon that appears when all seven are gathered." Bulma said.

"I see, that is an interesting story, but lunch is ready, will all of you come inside to eat." Gine said after coming outside from the house. Bardock turned to his wife and watched as she gathered all the food the boys had gathered.

"That's a great idea, why don't you join us for lunch Miss Bulma, and then we can talk more about this dragon ball business." Bardock said before turning to his sons and rubbing their heads before heading inside the house.

Bulma followed behind Kakarot and Broly as they went in the house after their dad. Once inside the house, Bulma sat down at the table next to Kakarot and Broly, and watched as a large amount of food was dished out to everyone aside from her.

She had received a normal amount of food, while everyone else had large amounts of food all around them. Bardock looked over to Bulma and chuckled. "This is your first time seeing a saiyan eat isn't it?" Bardock asked.

Bulma turned to Bardock with a curious gaze. "A saiyan, what's that?" Bulma asked. Bardock looked over to Broly and Kakarot. "You boys didn't tell her when you met her?" Bardock asked.

Kakarot scratched his head. "Well she didn't ask, so I didn't think it mattered." He said with a nervous chuckle. Bardock sighed. He then looked over to Bulma.

"We are saiyans Bulma, and that is our race; we are what you would call aliens, since we were not born on this planet like you were, we were born on our home planet called planet Vegeta." Bardock said.

Bulma looked at the family of four with a critical eye for a long period of time before looking back at Bardock. 'great this planet is even more strange than I thought, wait aliens, how is that possible. "How can you be aliens, you look just like any human I know?" She asked. Bardock chuckled. "That is because saiyans have the same body structure as humans aside from our tails." Bardock said. Bulma then looked over at Kakarot fast. "You have a tail?" She asked.

Kakarot nodded before unwrapping it from around his waist and wagged it in front of her face. Bulma just starred at it for a moment before moving her hands forward and grabbing it gently. Bardocks' eyes went wide when he saw the sight before him along with Gine.

'No saiyan lets anyone touch their tail unless they have a bond with them.' Bardock thought before looking at Kakarot. 'He must have unconsciously created a bond with her, but to let her touch his tail.' Bardocks eyes only widened more. 'Kakarot must be in love with Bulma. Of course, why didn't I see it before.' He thought.

Bardock then played a few memories through his head of the future he had seen and then it came to him. 'Kakarot my poor son, I can't believe I never saw it, you were always in love with Bulma, you just didn't know it my poor boy.' He thought.

'Now that you do know though what will you do, and what does this mean for the future.' Bardock once more stopped himself. 'No that doesn't matter, all that matters is that we let the current play out however it will. I must have changed something without knowing it, and now the future, no everything has changed.' He thought to himself.

While Bardock was having those thoughts, Bulma had been admiring Kakarot's tail. ' It's so soft, what are these people though, and can I trust them. I don't see why I can't though, they are being peaceful and answering all my questions. That's it, I will just ask them questions.' She thought.

Bulma released Kakarot's tail and looked back to Bardock. "So, why do saiyans have tails? What does it mean to be saiyan? Why are you here? And how did you get here if you're from another planet?" Bulma asked in rapid succession.

Bardock took all the questions in stride and started to answer them. "We have tails, because we are part ape, and we are born with them. Being saiyan doesn't really mean anything aside from making us different, just like how you are human. We are here because we escaped our planets explosion, and as far as we know we are the last of our race." Bardock took a breath before continuing.

"As for how we got here, when there were many of us, saiyans were technologically advanced, so we have space pods that can travel to different planets and galaxies, it just takes time. Now I have a question of my own, you said you wanted our dragon ball, if I may, for what reason do you want it?" Bardock asked.

Bulma took in all the information Bardock had given her and then answered him. "Well I don't know anymore, I had originally wanted to wish for a lifetime supply of strawberries, then I wanted a perfect boyfriend, and right now, I don't have a wish." She answered.

'So it's exactly like I thought, she likes him too. Well there is nothing I can do but watch and see how this plays out.' Bardock thought to himself. "I see, well since it doesn't seem like you want to wish for anything bad, I will let you have the dragon ball; but I do have a condition, you see my sons here have never left the mountain. So if you let them accompany you, I will give you the dragon ball." Bardock said.

'What that's it, this is too easy, this seems to be working out perfectly for me. Not only will I get two strong bodyguards, but if I actually like this guy and if I can get him to like me, then I will have a boyfriend.' Bulma thought to herself. "Sure, that's no problem, I don't mind if they tag along with me." Bulma said.

Bardock nodded. "Very well, let us eat lunch, then I will give you the dragon ball and the three of you can be off." He said before he started to eat the food in front of him.

After an hour long lunch, since the saiyans ate so much, Bulma had the four star ball in her possession and was ready to set off. Throughout the lunch, Bulma and everyone had shared stories about their lives and where they came from, and Bulma thought it was funny that the boys were so intrigued that she was from a big city.

She had then told them about her being a scientist, all about her family and capsule corp. she then went into how she had come upon her first dragon ball and how because of that she created a radar that could track the balls.

After lunch, Bulma had once more grabbed Kakarot's tail since it intrigued her, but this time she rubbed it against her face lightly to see how soft it really was and was then surprised by Kakarot. When she rubbed the tail against her face and then began to pet it, Kakarot let out a half growl half purr sound noise, and Bulma couldn't help but blush at what she had done.

Even now just thinking about it made her blush, she knew that the boys were strong, since she had seen them carrying large fish, and not to mention that she had learned that Kakarot had stopped her car with his foot, so having made Kakarot make that sound made Bulma feel powerful.

She had felt like she had complete control over Kakarot when he had made that sound. She then went on to think about how it added at cute side to his hotness. Blushing more, Bulma stopped her thought when she saw the two boys come out of the house with basket like backpacks on and ready to go.

"We will be flying Bulma, how are you going to travel?" Broly asked her. Bulma then pulled out her capsule box and looked at it for a minute. "Well I think I will go by bike for now." She said before pulling out the bike capsule and activating it.

There was a small explosion of smoke before in front of everyone's eyes now stood a bike that Bulma got onto. "I will be following the radar, so just follow after me alright." Bulma said. When the boys nodded and took into the air, Bulma set off on her bike.

"Bardock what is going on, you never said that any of this would happen, Kakarot has a bond with Bulma." Gine said. Bardock looked at her then looked to where Bulma and the boys where in the distance, then back to Gine.

"I don't know, it's possible that I have already changed the future so much, that anything is possible. You have to remember that in the future I saw, when Gohan passed away Kakarot was all by himself, not to mention that he didn't have any female influence in his life. Perhaps all these things together with the fact that he knows what family is and the difference between male and female, anything could happen." Bardock said to Gine.

She only stood there and took all the information in before looking over to Bardock. "I guess we can only see what happens from now on then." She said. Bardock nodded his head before taking her hand and going back inside until they would see Broly and Kakarot again.

While they followed Bulma through the air, Broly and Kakarot had been having a discussion about all the new things that had been happening to them, and that had lead Broly to question Kakarot about letting Bulma touch his tail.

Kakarot told Broly that he didn't understand why he had done it, but that he had allowed her, because for a strange reason he had a deep feeling in his gut that he could trust Bulma. After that the boys just kept talking to one another until they noticed that it had gotten dark and that Bulma had pulled to a stop.
