I was kinda hurt to go to my reviews and read trunks babe's comment. So the last chapter wasn't my best. So what? Every writer's allowed a few bad days. Well I'm hoping this one helps to make up for the last one. Since the comment I receive the most is the fact that I hold nothing back when I write. I've decided to live up to that. Heehee… enjoy my newest twist! (oh I'm evil!) AoD

My line: Thank you and have a happy Monday!

Chapter fifteen; Three Years…

            Bulma stared out the window of the palace window, her long blue hair fluttering around her head in the early morning wind. She sighed and let her head fall into her right hand. 'Three years… What am I going to do for three years…?' she wondered as she watched the birds fly out of their nests, 'In three years a horrible evil will appear. The same evil that was controlling Yamcha when he…' she shuttered at the memory and her left hand traced the low-neck line of her dress. After a few hours in regeneration tank the physical scares had vanished. The emotional ones however, would take more then a few hours…

            "Training and school. The same things the rest of us will be doing." Came the dark voice of her future mate.

            "Vegeta, aren't you at least a little worried?" she asked not looking up. She had known he was coming, the mental bond they shared made sure of that.

            She heard his footsteps behind her and felt his hand on her shoulder, "No, we have the strongest Sayians on the planet ready to fight and none of us are fully mature yet. By the time we have to fight, we will be. There is a unreal difference between the powers of a 16 year old and those of a 19 year old."

            She nodded, "What brings you here?"

            "Chi-Chi wishes to see you." He said as he turned to leave the room. Bulma stood up and went in search of her friend.

            Three years passed by before the young teenagers could even blink. Before they knew it they were standing before Prince Vegeta awaiting the return of 18.

            "What's taking her so long? I have a life to get back to." Complained Chi-Chi as she wagged her tail in frustration.     

            Bulma glanced over at her, "What have you been doing anyways? Cooking?"

            Chi-Chi shot her a nasty glare, "No. The second time I summoned the Dragon, I asked why I couldn't bring back Goku. All Shenlong would tell me was that he would return with the appearance of the magician." She shrugged, "I'm not totally clear on that, but I can't wait to get him back." She rubbed her hands together and smirked, "We have a family to start."

            Bulma rolled her eyes and turned to Vegeta, he shook his head, "Maybe she should have remained human, she wasn't as annoying then." He commented.

            Bulma did have to admit that ever since Chi-Chi had made her wish to become fully Sayian, her best friend had been much more aggressive. Not that it was an entirely bad thing…. It was great for their sparring matches.

            Finally the doors swung open and two nearly identical figures walked through the door. The room went silent as 18 walked in with an unknown young man.

            "Before anyone asks any stupid questions, this is my twin brother 17." 18 said as she and 17 approached the group already assembled. Vegeta stood beside Bulma and Chi-Chi was off to one side, her tail twitching. Vegeta's guard Krillin who had been guarding the door was now lying on the ground, semi conscious.

            "18, you may want to pick up your mess." 17 said as he noticed the guard on the ground.

            18 looked over her shoulder and blinked, "When did that get there?" she walked towards Krillin and picked him up, "You should be careful, you may actually do something useful one day." She snorted.

            Krillin frowned, "That's not very nice."

            18 raised an eyebrow, "Who accused me of being nice?"

            "Can we get on with this?" came Vegeta's voice from the center of the room. 18 cast one last look at Krillin before rejoining her brother.

            "The magician should be appearing-"

            She never got to finish her sentence as the castle shook with the strength of a thousands storms. 18 was flung into a stone wall and didn't get back up her twin flew right into the wooden doors causing them to splinter and fall. Vegeta managed to merely fall to the ground, but Bulma wasn't so lucky she flew into a support, causing part of the ceiling to come crashing down, trapping her. Chi-Chi and Krillin fared a little better, they crashed into each other and weren't too badly injured.

            The dust cleared and those still standing looked around for the culprit, finding no one they began to examine their fallen friends.

            Vegeta was the first to react, he saw the pile of rubble where Bulma had been standing only moments before. With a worried look on his face he began pulling the rubble off of her, all the while frantically searching through their bond for any sign of life.

            Chi-Chi stood up and shook her head trying to make the little birdies go away when she saw Vegeta. She ran to his side and helped in the search.

            17 and 18 stood at the ready, still not trusting the absence of the magician who had made his presence known only moments before. 17 looked at his sister, "He's here you know, hiding his ki."

            18 nodded, "I'm not sure he even has a ki to hide. He uses magic remember?"

            17 nodded and began scanning the room with his eyes.

            "Woman!" Vegeta cried as he finally came upon Bulma's broken body. He frantically began searching for a pulse.  He raised his head to Chi-Chi who began feeling along Bulma's bloody neck. Vegeta felt something inside him snap as he came to a brutal realization.

            His mate was dead.
