A/N: It's been a month, sort of. I'm truly sorry I can't update more often, but 3 stories, plus my job and everything don't make it easy. I know it's a short chapter, sorry about that, but I really wanted to update. Thank you all for reviewing, although I thank each one of you via PM. From this point on, the story plot will get sort of AU. Bear with me!
Much love, S.
Chapter 3: Something blue
"Do you see her anywhere?" asked Trunks trying to hide the panic from his voice. He had been trying to find his sister for quite a while now but wasn't having any luck.
"No Trunks. Where do you think she may be?"
"Wish I knew Goten." sighed Trunks. He didn't now what he would do if something happened to her. She was a brat, but she was his bratty sister. And she meant the world.
"I've got a bad feeling." Goten muttered trying not to be heard by his friend, at which he failed miserably.
"Shut up, she's fine. Yes she's safe, perfectly safe!" said the lavender haired boy, trying to convince himself of it more than answering his friend's concern.
Gohan was not a momma's boy as people thought, no. In fact, he was quite intelligent and brave. Proof of that was the fact that the little boy volunteered to go to Namek with Krillin and Bulma to collect the dragon balls and revive his father's friends and his mentor. Luck had it though that they weren't the only ones searching for them.
There was Vegeta... God knew the little boy was scared of him but he wouldn't let anyone see it. He wanted to be brave like his dad and his mentor, Piccolo. He missed the Namekian even though they had had a rocky star. As if on cue, the young half Saiyan felt the prince approach him and hid behind a rock, protecting the dragon ball he had found. What could go wrong anyway?
He felt the prince's ki right above him a few meters away and instantly flinched. The full blooded Saiyan knew he was hiding there, he didn't know though if Vegeta knew it was him. Contemplating over the best solution, he asked himself what would his dad do?
Gohan knew he didn't really need an answer; his dad would be brave and face everything head on. He wanted to be like his dad, minus the love of fight. He didn't like to fight, although his blood boiled with excitement over a challenge he was more of a pacifist. He loved to spar but not fight.
Deciding to be like Goku, he came out of his hiding place and met the prince's smirk.
Why did he have to be so damn intimidating?!
Bulma was still thinking about the day's happenings. She couldn't get those three kids out of her mind; how much the black haired boy looked like Goku and how much the lavender haired boy looked like Vegeta. What had her wondering the most though was the little girl. She couldn't deny she looked a lot like her and had her character too. She was stubborn and somewhat spoiled. Bulma knew she was spoiled and she didn't have a problem with it. She was raised like a princess. Her daddy adored her and she had him wrapped around her little finger. Her friends never had the liberty she had had back in her teenage years. Her parents were not strict; they believed that you learn from your own mistakes. Which explained them being okay with Bulma going on a quest to search for the dragon balls at the age of 16.
The boy had a striking similarity to Vegeta, look wise at least. She had noticed that the Saiyan prince was strikingly handsome, even when scowling. She could only imagine how gorgeous he was without those furrowed brows and narrowed eyes. She shook her head at her thoughts. Either way, thinking of him in that way was wrong. She had a boyfriend; true he was dead, but he was still her boyfriend. Unlike the rest of the world, Bulma had the luxury of bringing back the dead. The rest of the planet was ordinary people, she was something else. She had never been arrogant or antisocial no; quite the opposite in fact. She was the friendliest and most thoughtful person one could find, despite her elitary social status or endless financial one.
Sometimes, she wished she could be normal. But what she had lived and seen weren't normal. She could never fit in that life. Just the idea of her best friend being an alien was abnormal.
"-What do you think Bulma?" asked Krillin, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Huh- what?" she replied asking back, while blinking at the same time.
"Um, I said that I'm worried about Gohan. Where do you think he could be?"
"I don't know." she simply replied not paying much attention to her friend. He sighed and sat down next to her.
"You're still thinking about those kids aren't you?" he asked as she nodded.
"I just can't get those two kids out of my mind. How brave they were. How much the girl..."
"How much the girl looked like you?" finished the short warrior as she nodded again.
"Yes. I wasn't hallucinating right?"
"No Bulma. She was your carbon copy. You weren't hallucinating. And if I know you, which I do, you're dead set on finding out what's going on right?"
"Yes. I need to find them but I don't know how." she said tapping her chin thoughtfully.
"Well, if it helps, I can sense their ki. The boys are not with the girl, and her ki is spiking. She must be either excited about something or sad or scared to death."
"Can you go find the boys please?" she pleaded him with her puppy dog eyes which was something of hers no one could resist.
He sighed defeated and he nodded, taking off towards the boys.
Vegeta was scolding himself for what he had said. 'Gorgeous girl' ?!
"What the fuck were you thinking Vegeta?" he said out loud to no one in particularly as he scanned the area below.
He thought of the Earthling once or twice after he left her and that short bald human. Of her and the brats.
The one who had spoken last was Kakarot's spitting image. And he had said something extremely disturbing to the prince. Why the hell did he say that?
"Yeah, uncle Vegeta will make you pay for what you did to her!"
And then there was the girl...
"I'm a princess! My daddy used to be the Prince of all Saiyans FYI, till he came to planet Earth and fell in love with our mommy!"
That sentence was driving him crazy. Only he was the prince of all Saiyans. Only he used that expression that much, just to remind himself that he still had his title, his strength and pride.. Only he had visited Earth out of all the Saiyan royals. The Saiyans discovered Earth when they sent Kakarot to purge it the day the planet blew up.
Without thinking he landed somewhere, feeling the weight of everything crash down upon him. He suddenly became aware of his surroundings as he noticed the round spaceship in front of him. He decided to lower his ki to almost nonexistent and enter the spaceship, avoiding all the security cameras. Just as he headed towards his old quarters, he noticed they were occupied and growled. He didn't have any possessions but he was very territorial of what was his.
Punching in the security code, the door swiftly opened and he walked in, only to be met with his bed being occupied by something the size of a small animal. As he approached, he could catch a glimpse of blue...
A/N: I don't remember Vegeta's exact words, because it changes from one dub to another, but I went for the gorgeous girl anyway :)
Opinions/thoughts on this are greatly appreciated :)
Until next time!
