Back In Time
Chapter 4
When they arrived at the temporary lab, Bra looked around with a calculating eye and set to work immediately. The King and Vegeta just watched impassively, wondering why anyone would care to learn about such things when they could be training. The King was only there to see if Vegeta's future wife could handle the saiyan Prince. The so called scientists that had assembled there to assist Bra, just stared open-mouthed at how she was already assembling something they couldn't even begin to identify.
"So, your mother is very capable in these matters." The King said, indicating the already half-built communicator.
"Of course, I think the reason he," Bra nodded her head at Vegeta, "fell in love with her is because she built him a Gravity Room to train in." The King and Vegeta looked intrigued at the mention of the GR, Bra rolled her eyes. "Well, it could also be how she's the only one who can argue with him nonstop. Plus she's gorgeous." Bra said with a strained smile, missing her mother more and more.
"And done." She said with a relieved sigh. The King waved away the scientists, and both saiyans stared at the monitor. Bra was typing in something on the keyboard, when she clicked 'enter'. There was static for a few seconds then a picture appeared. Bulma was in front; evidently she had just finished making a device similar to Bra's. Behind her mother were Chichi, Goku, Trunks, and Pan; all appeared to be arguing-well, except for Goku of course.
"Oh Bra, thank goodness your alright!" Bulma said, barely legible against the yelling behind her. Sensing this she turned around and said, "WOULD YOU ALL BE QUIET!" Everyone stopped yelling immediately. No one looked scared though, Trunks had grown up with his mother yelling at him and everyone else had to listen to Chichi.
The King was chuckling at his daughter-in-laws outburst and the fact that Vegeta had actually flinched at the sound of his future wife's yell. Vegeta was staring at the face that now filled the monitor, thinking that he could brave the volume of this woman on his saiyan hearing if it meant he could be with her. Then of course he shook his head to rid himself of these 'weak' thoughts.
"Are you okay where are you!" Bulma said worriedly.
"I'm fine mom." Bra quickly explained what had happened.
"Well, that's good. Here, everyone's been worried about you! Your father especially." Here, the King looked at said father with a dubious glance. Vegeta merely scowled in response, annoyed at the fact that he was showing "weakness". "Well, here talk to your brother." Bulma moved away from the screen and Trunks moved closer.
"Hey Bra, you had Pan worried sick! I couldn't understand why though, it's so quiet around here without you." Trunks said with a grin, though the relief etched on his face betrayed his words.
"Uh huh, then why do you have bags under your eyes dear brother." Bra said sarcastically. "You couldn't have been worried about me!"
Trunks rolled his eyes theatrically, "Of course not! I was worried about Pan of course."
"If you two are done can I talk to my best friend!" Pan said, evidently irritated.
"Anything you want." Trunks said with a smirk. Vegeta wondered if all of his children inherited it and looked appraisingly at the woman who his son seemed to favor.
"If you ever scare me like that again I may have to kill you." Pan said mock-seriously.
"As if you could!" Bra said tauntingly.
"Is that a challenge?" The King and Vegeta smirked at each other; evidently Trunks had picked well. "As soon as you get back we'll spar."
"Now Pan, please don't kill my sister. Unfortunately my father would go ballistic." Trunks said teasingly.
"Oh sure, take your fiancé's side." Bra said unthinkingly, then gasped as she realized what she had just said.
Both Trunks and Pan's faces betrayed their horror, "Bra!" Then came the most dreaded thing of all: Chichi.
"Why didn't you tell me you were getting married?" The now exuberant grandmother yelled.
"You are so dead!" Trunks and Pan said; almost in synch. Then they both flew off quickly, probably going to hide somewhere where they hoped Chichi wouldn't find them. Not one to be deterred, Chichi quickly ran after them while searching for Goten to go after them. Goku followed his wife, trying to get her to calm down.
Bulma came back to the screen with a knowing smile on her face. "You already knew, didn't you?" Bra guessed.
"Yes, it was only a matter of time."
"Well, now I'm going to be killed when I get home."Bra said, half-jokingly and half-serious.
"Unfortunately, you're probably right." Then Bulma looked away from her daughter for a second and caught site of Vegeta at the edge of the screen. "Vegeta? Is that you?"
