Chapter 13

Vegeta lay in his room in the capsule house Bulma had provided. Turns out she had an emergency one with a few room so every night they took it out and during the day they hid it. Vegeta sat up carefully as to not wake Goten, Gohan and Pan who were sharing a room with him. Goten was snoring loudly so Vegeta's slight movement didn't disturb they others. Vegeta stood up and tip toed out the door.

He snuck into the dark blackened trees. Swallowing his fear of the dark, he left the brightly-lit house for the empty burnt clearing he had discovered earlier. He pulled out his capsule. With a poof of smoke a small round pod appeared. Bulma had taken the basic design of his old Saiyan pod and redesigned to a faster model.

Vegeta opened it and sat in the comfy chair scanning the star maps looking for Planet Tree. "Hmmm, if I go here then swerve around this solar system to avoid the warring planets I should be there in two days." Vegeta punched in a course and turned on the automatic pilot. He watched at the space pod burned through the atmosphere. He saw a fleeting glance at Earth before the pod blasted to space.

"Funny," he said outloud before the sleeping gas took affect. "The last time I saw Earth from this far away was when I was returning to my... home." then the invisible gas played with his senses and claimed his mind as its own to put to sleep.

Back on Earth a small white figure watched the burn mark the pod had left. "Well, I guess I'd better report to Karin. He'll tell Dende." The white cat floated in the air. Closing his eyes he wished himself to Karin's Tower.

"Herman!" Karin greeted him. "What's happening?"

"A small human just left in a Saiyan pod," Herman told him. "And I bet my tail he is no human!"

"Really?" Karin raised an eyebrow.

"He's the spiting image of a smaller Vegeta. I have a funny feeling that he's a Saiyan. His name's Veggie. Too much of a coincidence. I stake my life he is the result of a twisted Dragon wish. He is Vegeta."

"I have learned to trust your insights," Karin nodded. "But Vegeta?"

"Brother, have I ever been wrong?" the cat asked in a smile. "I have to get going, I'll see you later."

"Bye Herman," Karin said as the white cat disappeared. "Well, somebody better tell Dende and the Z gang."

"Yo, guys!" a fat robe clad figure rapped on the capsule house door. "Hello! Anybody home!"

"Huh? Oh hi Yajirobe," a sleepy Krillin answered the door. "What do you want?"

"I'm here to talk to all of you," he replied grumpily arms crossed. "Let me in!"

"Yea, yea," Krillin let him in rubbing his eyes. "I'll get everybody."

Once again everyone was assembled in the kitchen. The last to come in from re-capsuling the house was Gohan. He sat in the ruins of the Son house with a puzzled expression on his face.

"I can't find Veggie," he confessed. "He's gone!"

"Yea that's why I'm here," Yajirobe pulled a bag of chips from a pocket and munched them down. Between bites he explained all the information Karin had made him write down. "Your friend Veggie is actually Vegeta. Some person made a wish and it got messed up or something. Anyway he left in one of his space pods to find Goku."

"WHAT!" Bulma yelled. "He was here and he didn't tell me!"

"Whatever," Yajirobe crumpled the bag. "I'm outa here." He walked back to his air car. "Oh and Karin told me to give you these Senzu, they're his latest batch." He tossed the bag to Gohan and left them all standing out in the dust.

"That was weird," Krillin scratched his head.
