I obviously don't own the characters of Dragon Ball, that's Akira Toriyama. However, my own characters Vino, Lilly and Snipp are mine.
Chapter 1
Bulma was brushing her daughter Bulla's hair. The girl sat on a large chair with wiggling legs. Today was the little girl's birthday and she was so impatient. In fact, her mother had organized a big party for her fifth birthday.
"Mama, are you almost done?" the girl asked impatiently. Bulma smiled "yes honey, just need two more pigtails, or did you want two braids?" Bulla thought for a moment "Daddy liked pigtails better, I want pigtails". Bulma shook her head because there is girl who took fashion advice from Vegeta.
Full of loud bangs, someone came running through the living room door. "Pan!" yelled Bulla. Behind the little girl walked a guilty looking Gohan "Sorry Bulma, we're a little early but Pan couldn't wait any longer." Bulma just tied the last ponytail and looked at Gohan grinning.
The two girls ran out the door to go and play. Bulma got up and walked over to Gohan "Secretly glad you guys are here, I could use some help. As expected that wonderful husband of mine is training again and it all comes down to me".
Gohan put his hands in his pockets and walked behind the blue-haired woman. "Vegeta and my dad together indeed. In my opinion, that will never be any other way". Bulma started to smile for a moment, secretly she didn't want it to be any different. Vegeta was always the happiest after training.
In the hallway, Bulma picked up a large box from the floor "Would you take these out and help my dad hang up the lights?" Gohan took over the box and walked away, and then he stood still for a moment and turned around "Videl is outside, shall I send her to you?" Bulma put her thumb up and smiled "I am in the kitchen".
Not much later, more friends entered the garden. Music came out of the boxes and children ran around. Food stalls were everywhere. Trunks and Goten had secretly grabbed a beer from the fridge and were sitting behind a tree sipping it.
As Trunks and Goten practically giggled handing over the bottle Chi-Chi suddenly stood next to them. Goten pushed the bottle into Trunks' hands "I'm not drinking anything mom". But It was too late, his mother screamed just as loudly and the Ox King had to calm her down while the two boys fled.
Behind a building, the boys caught their breath for a moment and shot loud laughter. "That was close" puffed Goten. Trunks slapped him on the shoulder "dude your mom can be scary though". Then Trunks removed another beer bottle behind his back and put his index finger to his lips. Goten giggled.
Meanwhile, a group of four suddenly appeared in the middle of the garden. Whis immediately pointed to a food stand "Oh look my lord, it smells delicious!" Goku was clutched around the neck by Chi-Chi who was complaining about their youngest son's behavior and it's clear that it's because Goku was never there for him.
Bulma came to stand next to her husband and crossed her arms "will you please shower, we can't have a party like this". Vegeta looked at his wife in irritation and rolled his eyes. Without saying anything he walked away. "Daddy, daddy!" Bulla grabbed Vegeta by the hand and the girl talked about all the gifts she had received as they walked in together.
Slowly, calm returned to the party. Bulma sat with Whis, Beerus and Videl at a small table. Goku had just had an awkward conversation with his youngest son about how bad alcohol must be. Three little girls ran throughout all the visitors, Bulla dressed as a princess, Pan as a warrior and Maron as a policewoman. When suddenly the music abruptly stopped.
Irritated, Bulma stood up, she walked over to the music system but saw some kind of gray squirrel standing about three feet tall wearing overalls? When she turned around she saw that all eyes were on two individuals in dark purple with gold robes. They stood still, one pointed in the direction of Beerus, the god of destruction.
Very slowly the figures walked in the direction of Beerus, who continued to eat on as normal. Whis came to stand beside Beerus and looked troubled. The front person seemed to be walking crippled; it was obvious that it had something in its hands. The one in the back walked in perfect step behind the other. Vegeta came to stand freshly showered next to Bulma with his eyes fixed on the persons.
Earth's warriors were clearly getting ready for a fight. Vegeta walked through the crowd toward the god of destruction. He recognized the robes, but what were they doing on Earth? It wasn't Beerus they were worshipping as a god, was it? He watched as the figures came to a halt in front of Beerus. They kneeled, the cripple clearly having trouble doing that.
The one in front held a carafe forward, Vegeta`s eyes slid over a scar that ran down the left hand to the wrist of this person. When she began to speak, a feeling of surprise and anger overtook him. But he kept quiet, listening to a familiar voice address Beerus.
"My lord, God of destruction Beerus we have failed you. We have travelled to this planet to bring you our last carafe of wine. Please forgive our failure". Whis waved his hand and the carafe floated through the air to the hands of Beerus. He removed the cork and clearly enjoyed the aromas from the bottle. Then Beerus stood up.
Beerus put the cork on the bottle and set it on the little table next to him. With hands behind his back he took a step forward and then turned to Whis "last bottle?" Whis put his staff forward slightly and the image of a completely devastated planet could be seen. The god of destruction heaved a deep sigh "you were faithful to the end, for this time go".
With great difficulty the one in front got back on its feet and turned around. Slowly it walked to the height of the other and passed by. Then the other turned around. But the one in front was forced to a halt by a Saiyan prince blocking the path; he looked disapprovingly at the person in the robe.
Vegeta crossed his arms "are you leaving already?" The person said nothing. Vegeta looked angrier "did you lose your tongue?" A soft growl was heard "step aside Vegeta". Vegeta pressed his thumbs behind the hood and pushed it back. This unveiled the face of a woman with thick white hair in a braid. She looked down and avoided Vegeta`s gaze.
There was a tension in the air, everyone was dead silent. The woman looked up "Get out of the way Vegeta". The prince crossed his arms again "the last time I saw you were in a wedding dress, you disappeared. You betrayed me". The woman clenched her fists "Betrayed you? Oh no Vegeta, you betrayed me remember? Now step aside".
Vegeta shook no and a flat hand went toward the Prince's face. He caught the slap grabbing the wrist of the woman in front of him "I'll fight you Vegeta, I'm not afraid". The man got an entertaining smirk on his face and the white haired woman went slightly into the air as she threw off her robe.
The robed person behind the two remained motionless. The strange large squirrel came running up to the person "So how good of an idea is this?" The person seemed to say softly "not" but it wasn't easy to hear. It remained standing without moving at all.
Meanwhile, two were fighting hard against hard in the air. Piccolo was the first to see it and remarked aloud "she has a tail!" A ripple effect of startled reactions went through the garden. The woman wore a white tail around her waist; she was also wearing brown army pants with a green tank top and suspenders.
The second robed person suddenly stepped forward "mother please cancel the fight now". Vegeta looked down in surprise "mother?" he whispered. But the woman continued to attack "I'm not going to cancel anything, and especially with this asshole". The fight continued. "But mother, he's just fighting at ten percent of his power". Startled, the woman remained hanging in the air.
"Are you sure?" the woman called down. But attacked again, the person on the ground balled her fists "Saiyans!" shouted a girls voice irritated. She stepped forward but still didn't look up "try to hit his left arm, there's a weak spot there." Whis became interested by this comment and walked towards her.
As the two continued to fight in the air, Whis stood in front of the girl and pushed off her hood with his staff. It revealed a blonde girl with blurry white eyes. She didn't look back; she seemed to be staring at a spot on the ground. "Mother beware, he is just at twelve percent power."
Bulma looked up with tears in her eyes. Why does there always have to be a fight? Other than being a Saiyan, what's wrong with that man? Can't they just have a normal party by now. Those two up there obviously know each other well. She's a Saiyan, she's his age. Will there ever have been anything between those two?
Everyone watched the fight again "I'm done with you" shouted Vegeta and he kicked her right hip. The woman fell to the ground "you are still fighting exactly the same; your right side is wide open". The woman lay on the ground in pain. The girl ran to her mother.
Vegeta landed on the ground next to her and put a boot on her chest "you did get a little stronger, you had some good blows". The young girl fired a ki blast at Vegeta, which he easily batted away. Bulma was furious and shouted "and now it's finished, Vegeta this is your daughter's birthday. For once can you not have a fight?"
The prince looked at his little daughter and he stepped off the woman's chest. Bulma wanted to start with a lecture but Vegeta turned to the woman on the ground. "You were dead, the last thing I heard you were dead Vino." The woman lifted her hand and a stick flew into her hand. With difficulty she got up straight leaning on the walking stick "I was as good as dead yes".
Wobbling, the woman stood before Vegeta "You're a jerk, you know that". Vegeta crossed his arms "what happened, you were going to get married for peace or something". Vino sighed "they had a knife to my back; you were not helping me. You didn't care". Vegeta's face changed from angry to stun. "Vino?" he stuttered.
The woman's face now turned angry "you're just an arrogant bastard. You had one goal and that was to beat Freeza. I wanted to give you a home, a planet but you were blinded. I was just a trophy you showed off, but I always came second. You are just a" but Vino`s voice fainted as she looked around her, her eyes fell on Bulla next to Vegeta.
Everyone was silent, Vino moved the stick and wobbled away "Come Lilly, let`s go". Vegeta rolled his eyes and took a few big steps forward, he grabbed Vino`s wrist "lady stay, you are hurt". With two big golden colored eyes she looked at Vegeta "No this is nothing, this is what war does to you. Years of fighting has left its mark". Vegeta grabbed the wrist more tightly "maybe I can help" Vegeta almost whispered.
Vino turned around "you are too late, planet Wain is ruined and totally destroyed. No more life is possible. Congratulations, you clearly have your home. Leave me alone". For a moment Vegeta was searching for eye contact with Bulma "the Dragon Balls". Bulma looked questioningly at her husband.
Bulma came to stand next to her husband "what are you up to dear". Vegeta released Vino`s wrist "with the dragon balls, maybe we can wish planet Wain back". The blue haired woman looked at her Vegeta "dear, that`s beyond the powers of Shenron, you can`t wish a planet back".
The prince sighed "I didn't understand you Vino, but now I do. I have been lucky and made my home here on earth. You can stay here if you want?" Vino looked from Vegeta, to the woman next to him "Vegeta, that's so kind but maybe you should be honest with your mate then, you have a family. I'm not just anybody". Vegeta looked at his wife.
The blue-haired genius looked from her husband, to the woman and back to her husband. Vegeta stammered "Bulma this Vino, Vino and I used to be together". Before Vegeta could explain further Bulma cut him off "she's your ex?" A voice behind them stammered "my mother dated the prince of the Saiyans? How sweet is that!"
Everyone turned to look at the blonde girl, with blurred white eyes; she threw off her robe and began to grin. Trunks stood two feet away from her and briefly choked up. The girl had long legs and a denim hotpants on with a white shirt and a leather gilet. She was of his age about eighteen.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow "Are you sure that's a daughter of yours?" Vino began to laugh. Lilly put her hands on her hips and put her nose in the air "why?" the girl asked offended. "Ah, no there it is indeed. You used to do that too lady". Vino threw Vegeta a look. "Vegeta can I talk to you, alone" it was Bulma.
The man walked behind his wife to the edge of the garden. She turned around and begin with first a very deep sigh. "What's up Vegeta? First you attacked her and now you were joking around? And what's with staying here and the dragon balls?" Vegeta crossed his arms and looked across the garden, then closed his eyes for a moment.
"She has asked me so many times to go with her, to help drive Freeza off her planet. We were together but I never helped her. I had claimed her as my mate but I had my own path. Probably if I had helped along with Nappa and Raditz her planet would still be there". Bulma stared at her husband.
She put a hand on his under-arm "you feel guilty? You have a beautiful wife and wonderful children. You have a home and she has nothing left". Vegeta put a hand on his wife's hand "perhaps". Bulma sighed "ok let her stay, then we'll figure out how to help her together".
The couple stared at each other "Are you sure about this? She's my ex". Bulma looked offended for a moment "there's nothing to worry about, is there?" Vegeta began to sigh "no, of course not". Before they walked back Bulma gave a claiming kiss on Vegeta`s cheek, he was hers. She did not trust the newcomer, but at the same time felt pity for her.
When they returned to the group Bulma took the word "We have room in our guest house, the grounds are big enough. Do you have anything like a ship?" Vino looked surprised at Bulma, Lilly happily jumped in the air and called out "Snipp did you hear that? I bet they have a mattress and hot water here" The gray squirrel jumped up on a table and put his arms in his sides and looked first at Lilly "Yes, yes diva" then he looked at Bulma "And my ship sweetheart, what about it?" Bulma stared in surprise.
As she pointed to a hangar Bulma stuttered "you can park that there". The big squirrel gave Bulma a wink. "Trunks are you going with the squirrel?" said Bulma. The little creature turned around "Hey baby, my name is Snipp. And don't you forget it". Together with Trunks they walked away. "Mommy, can I have music again?" Bulma looked at her daughter and smiled broadly. "Let's continue partying."
Vegeta went to stand at the edge, Vino by his side softly she said "thank you, we needed a break. This is very generous of you mate. I expected her to send us away". Vegeta looked at Bulma who was looking their way "Bulma is very hospitable, but don't make her get upset". Vino looked at her daughter who was talking to Gohan and Goten "I especially hope my girl can relax for a change".
