*~*DBZ REALM 14 years ago*~*
A well-known group of people Were currently waiting for a friend of theirs. Bulma Briefs. She had just gone into labor a little over two hours ago. Bulma had managed to get a hold of Chi Chi, who in turn rounded up a few of the other Z senshi. They had all been surprised to hear of Bulma having a baby. All except Goku that is. Goku was stretched out in one of the hard plastic chairs, snoring. Chi Chi, his wife, was drilling their son Gohan on his math. "You are so far behind! I never should've let you go and train with your father! School is so much more important!" Gohan just sighed as he continued with his trigonometry. *Doesn't she realize that I have to train so I can fight against the androids?* The old hentai turtle master, Roshi, was playing a game of poker with Oolong. "Ha! Twopair! Beat that you old fart!" Oolong grinned and spread his cards over the top of the fold up card table. Roshi just grinned as light glinted off of his large sunglasses. "That's toobad Oolong because two pair can't beat my royal flush! Ha ha! Beat you again!" Roshi started sweeping his 'hard won' loot off the table as Oolong glared. "Your cheating aren't you?" Roshi laughed as he stacked up a few of the dirty magazines he had won and leafed through one of them. "I don't need to cheat to win a card game!" *Besides, who cares if I keep a few aces up my sleeve?* He laughed again as Oolong just grumbled under his breath. Krillen was in the far corner, trying to get a vending machine to work. "Come on you hunk of junk!" He kicked it fiercely to try and dislodge the bag of chips from where it wasstuck. His kick didn't dislodge the chips however. All it did was make a large dent in themetal. The short bald man just frowned and made his way back to his seat. "Stupidmachine." He sat down next to Goku and poked his long time friend in the ribs to wake him up. The startled saiyan jumped to his feet with a yell. Krillen just laughed. "It was just me Goku! Why are you so jumpy?" Goku chuckled slightly. "Oh, sorry Krillen. I was having a nightmare I guess." Krillen stared. "Really? What was it about? It could be an omen or something." Goku rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Well, it had something to do with Bulma. Someone came and stole her-" He was interrupted by a growl of inpatients from the other occupant of the small room. Vegeta. The saiyan prince was pacing from one side of the room and back again. He kept muttering things under his breath and occasionally punching the air to let out his anger. When he had first started his pacing he had surprised them all. Vegeta worried? ~Flashback~ "Um, Vegeta?" Said saiyan spun on his heel to face the speaker. "What do you want Kakarott?!" Goku blinked a few times, totally unfazed by the saiyan prince's yelling. "Well, we were all sort of wondering why you were pacing. After all, there's nothing to be worried about!" He grinned at Vegeta as the shorter of the two tried to hold his temper. *Baka! If that woman weren't in this hospital I would just. . . * "Kakarott! Baka! I'm not pacing! I came here in the middle of training and am therefore cooling down!" He resumed his pacing and Goku settled into the chair next to Chi Chi. He smirked slightly. "Sure Vegeta." Then, with a yawn, he closed his eyes. ~End of Flashback~ Even after two hours Vegeta was still 'cooling down'. Krillen, still angry for wasting his money on the chips and also quite nervous for Bulma, was starting to get annoyed of the relentless tapping of the saiyan's boots. His left eye started twitching suddenly. *I can't take it anymore!* "Vegeta! Just sit down already! You don't have to worry about--ERK!" His sentence was cut short by the hand suddenly wrapped around his neck. "Don't you dare try to tell me what to do baldy! For your information-" Vegeta was stopped from killing the nose-less wonder when a nurse walked in. "Is this the group waiting for Ms. Briefs?" Everyone who was sitting jumped to their feet and Goku stepped forward. "Yeah. That's us! Is she okay?" The nurse smiled brightly. "Oh yes, she's okay. The babies are doing fine as well." Everyone blinked. Chi Chi stepped up next to her husband. "Babies? As in, plural?" The nurse smiled even wider. "Yes. And I have to say, those two are the cutest twins I have ever seen in this hospital." Everyone's mouths gapped open. Vegeta's most of all. "Twins?!" The nurse blinked in surprise at the noise. "Yes. Ms. Briefs has had twins. Didn't you know that she would?" Vegeta pushed past the Son's and stared the nurse in the eye. "Where are they? What room?!" The nurse stuttered in fear. "I ca- can't tell you that! They need to rest!" Goku sighed and pulled the nurse aside slightly. "You can let him see them since he's the father." The nurse stared at Vegeta in surprise but then started giggling. Vegeta growled in anger "What's so funny?!" The nurse blushed and backed away again. "Oh! I'm sorry I laughed but now I can see that your the father. Your face looks quite a lot like the little boy's." Everyone in the room blinked yet again and Vegeta just stood. *Looks like me? That's . . . that's. . * The nurse then grabbed his wrist and pulled him through the doorway. After they had gone a short distance from the room the nurse leaned to him with a worried expression. "I'm glad I was able to talk with one of the parents about this. You see, there seems to be an. . . abnormality with your children." Vegeta just smirked but the nurse continued, undaunted. "We have already scheduled surgery to fix the problem so you needn't worry." Vegeta's smirk stayed in place. "I don't think that will be necessary. I'm sure their mother and I will be able to deal with this little 'abnormality'." The nurse sighed but continued to Bulma's room. When they reached the dimly lit room all Vegeta could see was a sleeping Bulma. He frowned. "Where are the children?" The nurse smiled. "I thought you might want to talkwith Ms. Briefs before I went to the nursery to get them." She started closing the doorbehind her then turned back at the last moment with a smile. "I'll be back in a fewminutes." Vegeta stared at Bulma from where he stood by the door. Even though he hardly showed emotions, he did let one show on his face whenever he was alone with her. Love. *I still find it hard to believe that I fell for this weak earthling.* He smirked as he made his way to the bed. There was a small stool set next to the bed that he soon made use of. Leaning against the metal railing of the bed, he tried to think of a way to wake the blue
haired woman.
Vegeta was still leaning against the railing of the bed when the nurse returned. He immediately jumped to his feet when he heard the door starting to open. in came the nurse holding two small bundles. One wrapped in a pink blanket, the other in blue. "Here they are." She set the blue bundle on the bed next to Bulma, making sure it wouldn't fall, then turned to Vegeta with the pink. "I thought you might want to see what I was talking about when I said she had an abnormality." The nurse unwrapped the baby from the blanket and held her slightly aloft so that Vegeta could see her. There, swinging slightly side to side in the air, was a small white tail. The baby opened her blue eyes and her eyes wandered around the room, coming to rest on Vegeta's frozen form. She gurgled at the prince but received no response. He was too shocked. *Why is her tail white? Is there really something wrong with her?* The nurse took in his shocked look with a nod. "A tail. If you have second thoughts about your earlier decision, we'd still be able to operate before her mother finds out." Vegeta blinked a few times then roared at the nurse. "Of course there won't be an operation! I told you that I'd deal with it! Now get out!" The nurse hurriedly complied. His yells fortunately didn't awaken the sleeping mother but they did wake up the little boy in his mother's arms. He started wailing up at Vegeta, who just stared. The baby in his arms caught his attention again when he heard her giggle. He turned his head back to her, half in annoyance half in interest. She had soft dark hair and brown eyes that seemed to stared straight into his soul. She smiled again and Vegeta was startled when he felt himself smiling back. He saw how she looked so much like him.*So. This little brat is my heir because of her tail. Too bad it was a female.* He smirked down at his daughter who in turn giggled and strained her arms trying to reach him. Vegeta chuckled softly, not even noticing that the other infant had stopped crying. He extended one finger over the baby girl's head, catching her attention. He slowly started waggling it back and forth and her eyes followed. Much like a cat ready to pounce, her tail started twitching. She set her mouth in determination and clenched her hands into small fists. This only caused Vegeta's smirk to widen. *She is feisty though.* She suddenly reached up as far as her tiny arms would allow and caught his finger in between her tiny hands. She giggled in triumph and started shaking the finger in joy. Vegeta laughed again. "Maybe you are worthy of being my heir." A sudden wind blew up, even though the room had no window. "Vegeta spun on his heel, instinctively clutching the infant close to him. Behind them stood the senshi of time. "Greetings your highness. I'm afraid I've come to take away your daughter." This simple statement caused Vegeta to freeze momentarily in shock. *What?! How dare she!* "Just who the hell do you think you are?! You can't just waltz in here and demand my heir!" He clenched his fist in anger as the silent infant in his arms watched in wonder."I'm afraid that's where your wrong your highness. I'm Sailor Pluto, guardian of time and protector of that child in your arms. I'm here to take her to another dimension where she is also a princess. Her strength is needed to fight a great threat." Vegeta's only response was a growl before Pluto quickly continued. "She is to stay in that dimension until after she is 14. After that, I will send her home to you, if you wish. I will erase everyone else's memory of this child except for yours. Do you want me too?"Vegeta had had enough of this crazy woman. Different dimensions? Changing time? "Woman! You will never lay a hand on my daughter! Even if your story were true, she is my heir! I haveto train her so she will be a true warrior and take the throne after me!"Sailor Pluto just chuckled. "You needn't worry about that your highness. I will personally teach her all she needs to know until she return to your world. Now, it is time for us to depart." She made to reach for the tiny vegeta in his arms but he pulled her out of reach. "You've tried my patience enough! Big ban--" His attack was cut short for a very simple reason. Pluto had frozen time. She swiftly picked up the tiny princess and moved back into the portal, turning back only once so as to leave her letter. It explained everything in even greater detail. As she was walking through she unfroze time, just soon enough so that Vegeta would see her leave but not be able to stop her.All he could do was stare at the wall where the portal had formed. *I'll get you back.I'll get you back if it's the last thing I do!* ~Capsule Corp.~ Bulma Briefs blew a strand of hair out of her face as she tried to concentrate on her work. A single bead of sweat tracked down her face. *Just a little bit more and-* Her concentration was broken by a loud banging. She yelped in surprise and the small metal contraption in front of her sputtered and fizzed then started smoking. She looked down at the product of all her tinkering. *Shoot! Now I have to start all over again!* With an exasperated sigh she brushed the strand of hair from her face and leaned back over the worktable. She was just getting into position to reconnect some wires when there was another bang. This time she jumped to her feet and stormed out of the room. "Trunks!! How many times do I have to tell you not to fight with Goten inside the house!" She rushed into the purple haired boys room. There on the floor were Trunks and Goten. Playing a card game. Quietly. The two boys stared up at the blue haired woman. "What are you talking about Mom? We're just playing cards." Bulma blinked and was about to ask what the noise was but never got the chance. There was another loud bang and since Bulma was in a different part of the building she could now tell where it was coming from. She turned away from the two perplexed boys with a grim frown. "Vegeta." Goten moved his card. "Imagine if I had a twin just like you…that would be soooo kewl!" He yelled. Trunks sighed. "Yeah but I don't know where my sister is hiding, no one can find her."Vegeta drew in one ragged breath after another as he tried to keep his temper in check. After all, he had just dented almost every wall in the gravity room. *Stupid woman!* He wasn't referring to his wife either. He was thinking of a certain warrior of time. He growled again in anger and started throwing punch after punch at an invisible assailant. After she had left, Vegeta had read through Sailor Pluto's letter thoroughly. She had explained in great detail what his daughters 'past' life had been like. It had also given a summary of what Pluto had hoped 'Veggie' would accomplish in the other dimension. *Veggie. Not only did she steal her away but she took it upon herself to name the brat! And all that nonsense of fighting witches and demons. Bah! Whoever heard of saving the world with a piece of jewelry! But at least she was named after me.* Even after eight years he still hadn't gotten over the sting of having his daughter stolen out from under his nose. (An: Literally!) Eight years of never seeing her, never getting to show her how to fight, never actually knowing her. He did however have a strange dream every year on the anniversary of the birth of the twins. *It's all that stupid woman! She send me the dreams to torment me! Why didn't she just erase my memory like everyone else?!* After Veggie's kidnapping Vegeta had tried to get Goku to help him find her. Also to help kill Sailor Pluto. He had only been laughed at. He had no daughter so how could she have been kidnapped? He only had a son with no tail. Trunks. He'd decided to let out his frustration on Goku and that was the end of it. *But it was only the end of it as far as Kakarott was concerned.* Vegeta lifted two barbells and continued punching. *Once I have time I'll collect the dragon balls and summon the dragon. Then . . . * "I'll tear that bitch limb from limb!!" With his exclamation he punched the wall, causing yet another of the mysterious bangs. (AN: *LOL*)*End of Realm*
"So tomorrow is Veggie's 14th birthday, I should
get her something." Ginger said to her pet. "Yes, you should."
Ginger was home and was sleeping over veggie's tomorrow. *Another
year and 4 days and I turn 14!* Then suddenly there was a cool breeze and
standing in front of Ginger was a raven eyed senshi. Sailor Pluto…Ginger looked
surprised because she hasn't seen her since the last fight against mistress 9,
3 years ago. "Hey Puu, what's bugging you?" Ginger smiled at her old friend.
She smiled back and sighed. "Well it's mostly about your friend, universe…"
Ginger's smiled faded. "What happened to Veggie!" She yelled. Puu looked surprised
at Ginger's reaction to her friend. "It's not what happened, it's what will
happen…I wish I could explain to you." A worried face appeared on Gingers mask
of emotions.
