Chapter sixteen; The Magician

            Bulma looked down at her mate, trying to figure out what was wrong with him. What on earth was he crying for? She was right there! She reached out to touch him, but found her hand went right through him. She gasped and drew her hand away. She looked at him again and saw a body clutched to his chest. Her curiosity getting the better of her she leaned over Vegeta's shoulder and began to wish she hadn't.

            "He's holding me? But I'm right here! What's going on! I'm not dead! I'm right here!" she exclaimed.

            "So am I, doesn't mean they think I'm alive."

            Bulma gasped and whipped around, "GOKU?!" she gasped as she glomped her friend tightly, "You…! But-!" she felt tears well up in her eyes as she hugged him. Not understanding why he was suddenly alive, but not really caring either.

            Goku stroked her hair, "It's okay Bulma." He said trying to sooth her.

            She began to get a hold of herself, "How can you be here? You're suppose to be dead…"

            He shrugged, "I dunno, I should be, but instead I've been here the whole time watching you guys." He cocked his head to one side, "I think I'm a ghost."

            Bulma's eyes widened in shock, "Ghosts!? We...then we really are dead?!" she felt fresh tears spring to her eyes as she looked at Vegeta's broken face, she reached out a hand and tried to stroke his cheek, "Vegeta… please be okay…" she whispered as she listened to his heart broken sobs.

            She fell to her knees, "It's not fair Goku…we were getting ready for our matting ceremony… we were going to have a family… kids…" she dropped her head into her hands and joined her mate in his sobs.

            Goku stood back and watched, the two sobbed in sync and it was breaking his heart to see it. His gaze wandered to Chi-Chi, she stood tall and proud, not wanting to give into her emotions. But even she couldn't stop the silent tears that fell from her eyes.

            He thought about her earlier comment, he was going to appear when the magician did? He scratched his head, did that mean Bulma would as well? He looked at Vegeta, 'If she doesn't, I'll use the dragon balls. Vegeta doesn't deserve this.'

            He placed a hand on Bulma's shoulder and watched her cry.

            Shannon watched the scene with a sad heart, her best friend law dead in her mate's arms. She lowered her head and began to concentrate on Bulma's life force, trying to find any remaining spark. Her eyes shot open as she heard voices in her head.

            "…I'm a ghost."         

            "…We…we really are dead?! Vegeta…please be okay…"

            Shannon shook her head, "Vegeta, be okay." She whispered.

            The Prince shot her a look, "What did you say?"

~*~

            Bulma gasped, "Goku! She heard us!"

~*~

            Shannon blinked, "I don't know… I thought I heard a voice just now… but maybe not…"

~*~

            Bulma realized what was going on, she walked 'into' Shannon and began to speak. "I'm with Goku! We think we're ghosts, but we're still here! Please be okay just use the Dragonballs. Vegeta…"

~*~
            "We're dead…ghosts…Vegeta…" Shannon said in Bulma's voice. Vegeta gasped and stood, still holding Bulma's body in his arms. "How can this be?"

~*~

            Goku shook his head, "They only got part of the message."

            Bulma nodded, "But at least they heard us… I never knew Shannon was so in turned to me… she can hear me even in death." She smirked, "I knew she cared."

            Goku shook his head but before he could say anything a cold voice called to them.                "Are you ready to face your destinies?"

~*~

            Shannon fell to the ground, she didn't understand what was going on. Why could she communicate with a dead woman? She shook her head in defeat, she just didn't know.

            18 walked over to her, "You two were close. You shared a bond of friendship, since it has been in existence longer then Bulma and the Prince's it is stronger." She said in her normally cold voice.

            Vegeta glared at Shannon, jealous of her ability. Bulma was his mate! He should be the one talking to her, not some friend that had almost killed her! He growled and turned back to 18, "where is the magician?" he demanded.

            18 blushed, "I… I don't know."

~*~
            "Destinies?" asked Bulma as she looked around for the source of the voice. She turned and saw a small figure seated in Vegeta's father's throne. She glared  at the figure, "That's the King's seat. I suggest you vacate it."

            The small creature laughed, "Vacate it? But why? In case you haven't noticed female. We're in another dimension. They can't see, hear or feel us."

            Bulma frowned; the little bugger had a point.        

            Goku stepped up, "What do you want?"    

            The little figure smirked, and Bulma thought of Vegeta, "You two are my brand new toys."

            "Toys?!" Bulma yelled in total outrage, "How dare you use us as toys!!"

            Goku placed a hand on her shoulder, "Calm down Bulma, there's something not right about him…" he warned.

            The figure smirked, "You're right about that male." The little figure stood up and walked towards Bulma, he was a short little shriveled man with greenish skin and pointed ears. "Shall we play?"

~*~

What's gonna happen next? That depends on the reviews! It could start to shift towards a lemon, or it could turn REALLY bad for Veggie! Who knows! I sure don't! Hope y'enjoyed it!
