Bulma looked in awe at the fine surroundings of the dining hall in her friend Chichi's home. There were rich tapestries hung from the wall and fine carpeted paths that led through the castle. It was a beautiful place. Bulma looked at the beautiful raven-haired girl sitting next to her and smiled. Chichi smiled back and offered her more food. Bulma refused, she had eaten quite a bit at the fine dinner and was full to the bursting. Goku, however, was still going strong.

Chichi watched Goku curiously. She glanced at Bulma and asked, "Does he always eat like that?"

Bulma nodded. "He has a high metabolism and is hungry almost constantly." Chichi raised an eyebrow. "Well, he sure does eat fast." She and Bulma watched him for a few moments more.

"Well," Came a booming voice from the other end of the table, "It seems as though we have someone worthy of a royal dinner!" The ox-king bellowed. He stood and came forward to Goku and gave him a hearty clap on the back that would send a normal man, let alone boy, headfirst into his plate. However, Goku was not a normal boy, and it did nothing more than make him choke on the chicken he had in his mouth.

"Thanks a bunch boy, for saving my Chichi!" The ox-king boomed. Bulma wondered if he always yelled like that on purpose or weather he just naturally had that loud voice. It wouldn't surprise her; he was a huge man. At least seven feet tall and almost as wide as he was tall. He had a wild look about him, but his eyes, hidden behind untamed eyebrows, were friendly enough.

Goku looked up at him.

"No problem sir. By the way, do you have any more of this delicious chicken?"

Bulma almost smacked him. Always food first with Goku, no matter that he was talking to a king! Fortunately the king found it funny and called for more food for Goku. Then the ox-king moved to Bulma.

"I would also like to thank you, pretty. My Chichi told me how you helped." Bulma smiled. "It was nothing sir. Who wouldn't help someone in her position?" To her surprise, the man lost his smile and replied seriously, "You'd be surprised." His smile then returned and he handed her a small bag.

"This is for your help. You are also welcome to spend as much time here as you want, goodness knows that Chichi doesn't have enough friends around here. That goes for this fellow to!" Here he gave Goku another clap on the back. Goku looked up.

"Huh?"

"Never mind Goku." Bulma said. Goku shrugged and went back to his food.

Bulma shook her head and sighed. She felt someone tap her shoulder. It was Chichi.

"C'mon, I want to show you your room!" She said excitedly. Bulma grinned and stood up. She poked Goku in the ribs and said goodnight. Goku replied with his mouth full of food. What he said was incomprehensible but she understood. She then turned to follow Chichi.

Chichi led her up a flight of stairs to a tower room. It was beautiful.

"Wow Chichi!" Was all she could say.

"You like it?" She asked eagerly.

"Like it? I love it!" She stepped in and saw the beautiful canopy bed

that sat in the corner, with its sheer white canopy. There was a balcony, and the full moon was visible through the windowed doors. There was a gold and pink vanity with a puffed chair, and a door that lead to the bathroom that was also huge, with a Jacuzzi tub. There was a door in there that lead to a walk in closet full of beautiful clothes that looked like they would all fit Bulma perfectly.

"It's an enchanted closet." Chichi said. Bulma looked at her

skeptically.

"I don't believe in magic." She said. Chichi looked at her curiously.

"Really? I though everyone believed in magic. Besides, what about

that dragon you call up with those balls? Isn't that magic?" Bulma thought for a moment, and then said, "I guess."

Chichi smiled. She shut the door of the closet, said, "Night wear."

And reopened it. Bulma was amazed to see all the beautiful nightgowns that hadn't been there before. She and Chichi walked in and chose a gown that was light blue, like Bulmas hair, with white lace at the cuffs, trim, and throat. It was gorgeous. Chichi left and Bulma took a hot bath before she changed into it and went to bed.

The next morning, when Bulma woke up, it took her a minute to

remember where she was. She did get up, and took another hot bath. At the closet, when she opened it, there were a lot of dresses. Bulma shook her head in disgust. She closed it again, then she got an idea. She turned back to it and said, "Fight gear!" When she opened it back up she was amazed to see that it still held dresses. Bulma sneered and shut the door back up. She went back into her room to look for her tattered, dirty gi that she had left on the floor. To her surprise, it was clean and folded neatly on a chair.

Weird. Was all she thought as she put it on and headed downstairs for

breakfast.

After she had eaten, she decided that she should go back to Capsule

Corp. After all, her parents were probably worried about her. She told this to Chichi, and Chichi agreed. They exchanged phone numbers and agreed to meet for lunch in the clearing they had met in for this afternoon. Goku promised to fly Chichi there. After saying goodbye to the ox-king, Bulma was on her way.

First, she stopped at a mall and bought some new cloths, hers were about

worn out. Then she flew at top speed to the Capsule compound. Her mother was in the garden weeding when Bulma landed behind her and knocked over her watering can.

"Bulma chan!" Her mother squealed as she caught her daughter in a tight

embrace. Bulma grinned and hugged her mother back. She went inside with her mother to talk to dad. He was happy to see her and insisted that they work on her regeneration tank project before she went and made lunch for her friends. They had fun working together.

Bulma grabbed all of her plans and calculations and capsuled them so she

could put them away. She also grabbed a bag full of emergency capsules to put away. She put them in her backpack along with the food capsules for her friends and forgot about them as she flew back to the clearing where Chichi and Goku where already waiting for her.

They had a very good lunch and where making plans to meet together more

often. Bulma and Chichi had become very good friends and where deep in discussion about cloths while Goku swam in the little pool.

Suddenly, there was a disturbance in the sky, and they all stopped and watched in horror as a huge space ship flew over their heads.

On board the ship, a sayjiin kneeled in front of the king.

"We are preparing to land sire."

"Excellent." The King said.

A.N. Okay, I know that this was a suck chapter, but I'm trying to hurry this up a bit so we can get to the good stuff! Don't be mad at me!!
