Warnings: All warnings from last time apply. The part wear Bulma meets those guys gets kinda...well, there's hints of sexual themes. (and very minor hints at that. If you took out the violence and cursing it could really be a G fic) Not exactly the best written part, but if your still here, read on.

Disclaimer:
JAT: Um...what am I supposed to say here? Gee, um, I forgot. *sweat drop* I guess I'll have to ad lib. *evil grin* I do not own Pokemon. Why in the heck would I want to? All those millions of dollars mean nothing to me. *Trunks hits the insane author over her head*
Trunks: Wrong show.
JAT: *rubbing the bump on her head* Uh?
Trunks: What she means is that she doesn't own DB/Z/GT. She doesn't own the characters or the world and makes no money off of this fanfic or her others.
JAT: *goofy grin on face* Yeah!

Hello. Yep, I'll be continuing.

-Bulma-

I quickly fished around in the closet. "Damnit Vegeta!" I cried in frustration, "Where did you hide those dragon balls!?"

I sat down on the floor and sulked. I was positive that I'd seen them in there. Where in the world could he have put them? Sitting on the floor wasn't getting me anywhere fast so I got up and headed for the kitchen. ~Maybe I'll be able to think better on a full stomach.~ I thought to myself as I reached the door. Casually opened the refrigerator door looking for something to eat. I pulled open one of the drawers and started to rummage around in it a bit. To my surprise I pulled out tray with several capsules in it.

~That's strange.~ I thought, I normally didn't keep capsules in the refrigerator, and since I'd banned Trunks from using them ever since he put the neighbors dog in one, only one person could have placed them there. "Vegeta." I mumbled.

I opened the first one, "Awwww." I whispered, "Isn't that just so cute." I took the little bear into my arms. "It must be Vegeta's since it smells like him." I sighed. Then I set it aside.

I opened the next one. "Aha!" I cried. "Vegeta's dragon balls!" so that's were he'd stashed them.

-Trunks-

I woke up slowly. ~Man, my head hurts.~ I couldn't help but thinking.

I sat up and found myself in a crater with a radius of well...a lot. I wondered it it was because of me making contact with the surface. I groaned and was about to get up, but as I put my hands on the dirt I gave a sharp yelp of pain. I looked down at them and found they were covered in blood.

My blood.

I felt my eyes widen in shock as I explored the rest of my body. As I did I found that in some areas the blood was a thick red crust, and in others the metallic smelling liquid was fresh.

I shuddered involuntarily. Sure I felt like I'd been through hell and back, and I realized that I'd be bloody, but I hadn't realized that I was bleeding as profusely as I was!

I was so lost in my thoughts that at first I didn't realize the hand on my shoulder. I looked up and found Goten's warm, yet concerned eyes staring into mine.

"Goten?" I asked.

"Trunks? Are you okay? That blast hit you pretty hard." he said.

"I'm...I'm..." I started to say, "I feel light headed."

"That's a bad sign." I was only now aware of Gohan's presence, "It means he's probably losing more blood than he can afford to."

"I'm fine..." I started to protest, but instead I blacked out into Gohan's arms.

-Bulma-

Well, I had Goku's dragon balls as well now. That made five in total now. "Only two more to go." I whispered to myself.

I yanked out the dragon ball radar. "It looks like number two is in this lake."

I pulled what you might call a hover motorcycle over by the side of the water. After which I pulled off my over clothes revealing a two piece bathing suit.

"Good thing I wore it." I sighed diving in.

I looked around but was unable to find it. Then, because I was running out of air I quickly swam to the surface.

"Hmm, now where could it be." I muttered.

I dove down again. This time I checked in the seaweed and other underwater plants, as disgusting as they were. To my surprise I found it. The three star dragon ball was mine.

I came up to the surface and swam to dry land. As I climbed out of the water though, I noticed several muscled guys messing with my hover motorcycle. I would've encapsulated it, but I was in a hurry.

My heart began to beat fast as they discovered the dragon balls. ~Oh no!~ I cried out mentally, this could get messy.

I carefully approached the men. "Hey, what are you doing with my stuff!" I yelled then mentally slapped myself.

"Hey guys." one of them said looking me over and elbowing the others.

I blushed.

"Now what's a pretty little thing like you doing around a place like this?" he asked raising his eyebrows up and down.

My stomach turned over and I felt like I was gonna throw up. ~If only Vegeta or Goku were here.~ I wished.

Before I could reply they had circled around me.

~Oh my god!~ I screamed mentally. To bad I couldn't exactly kick butt like Chi Chi could.
"You never answered my question." the leader sneered.
"You'll be sorry if you mess with me." I threatened.
They all just scoffed. "Yeah, sure."
~Great, they weren't scared.~

They were getting closer. Things didn't look too bright right then.

"HELP!" I screamed.

Nobody came.

~Shit.~ I couldn't help thinking. Well, it wasn't like I really expected anyone to come along.

Just as I was losing hope, and just as those guys were about to lay their slimy hands on me, I heard a familiar voice. "Bulma?"

I stood up on my tip toes, "Piccolo!?" I yelled. I was about to cry I was so happy.

Suddenly the guy in front of me went flying and I saw Piccolo's green face. Hooray for those keen ears of his.

"Whoohoo!" I started jumping up and down in delight.

Seeing their comrade disappear over the horizon the rest of the group fled in terror. Good riddance to them for all I cared. My attention turned back to Piccolo.

"What are you doing out here?" I asked.

"There's a fight." he said rather gravely.

"What!?" I asked.

"There's another guy stirring up trouble on earth."

I felt my lip tremble. "Trunks...is...is he..."

"Yeah," Piccolo replied, "He's already in battle."

Before I could say anything else he was already in the air and out of sight.

My senses snapped to as I realized I still had one more dragon ball to find. Silently I rejoiced at the thought of my Vegeta returning.

-Goten-

"Goten, I want you to go to Capsule Corp." Gohan said eying Croo suspiciously.

"What?" I asked.

"Go to Capsule Corp. and get any senzu beans you can find." he instructed.

I was already in the air and on my way as he finished the sentence. I shot over to Capsule Corp. in the blink of an eye and started looking around for senzu beans in a hurry. ~Where does Bulma put them?~ I thought frantically.

I yanked open a drawer and found a small bottle. "Maybe, just maybe..." I opened it. "Yes!" but there was only one left. "Oh well." I mumbled and made my own doorway via the ceiling.

As I flew through the air I could only think about how Trunks needed the senzu badly. When a bug got stuck in my eye, I wasn't concentrating on flying and began to fall. Of course my arms went out and started flailing madly.

Quickly, I gathered my chi together and focused on flying. I had only gone a little ways when it occurred to me. The senzu bean wasn't in my hand anymore.


TO BE CONTINUED...


Hey out there! I'm gonna continue this after all. Well, thanks to all of you out there. BTW, I think I'm going to put this series all together and rework it a bit when I'm done. I've already done the same thing with Beyond Hope. Oh, and if this site DOES close down, are we all going to have a reunite place to go? It would just be sad to get separated from everybody ya know. Anyway, feedback? It's welcomed.
