Later on that day, Trunks came home from school in the company of Goku's two sons, Gohan and Goten.
They went into the lab to see Bulma, but found a beautiful brunette instead. "Woh, who are you?" Trunks asked as Sakura removed the safety goggles off her head.
"Aww, you must be Trunks." She said standing up. "I'm your mom's assistant, Sakura."
"You're really pretty." Goten said as Sakura gave him a smile.
"I bet you're Goku's son. You are handsome just like him." She said as Goten blushed heavily. "And you have to be Gohan." She said to the pale-faced demi-Saiyan. "I've heard so much about you."
"Hi…I…a…" he trailed off as the two kids pushed him off.
"It's nice to meet you Sakura." Trunks smiled at her as they left.
Sakura smiled to herself and went back to work on the capsule she was working on as the three boys ran to Vegeta's house.
"DADDY!" Trunks ran to his father who was on the second floor which was used for guests, usually Goku when he'd stay too late sparring with Vegeta to go home. Vegeta was up there now putting clean sheets on the king sized bed. The room was decorated with flowers and all the windows were open so that the scent of the spring afternoon filled the room. "Uh, dad. What are you doing?"
"Uh…" Vegeta put the sheet on the bed and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Your baka mother told me to fix up the upstairs for that new girl."
"You…you mean she is staying here?" Gohan muttered, his face flushing again. "Can I live here too?"
"Don't you have a girlfriend, baka?" Vegeta snapped at him as he began to push them out. "Goodbye!"
Vegeta turned back to the bed and finished fixing it up.

"Mom! There you are!" Trunks exclaimed finding his mother on the couch with a book in hand. "Did you really hire that pretty girl?"
"Yes," she said and laughed at Gohan. "You alright?"
"Can I live there too?" he asked as Trunks and Goten laughed. "Please?!"
"Live where?" Bulma asked as she looked at Trunks who stopped laughing at Gohan to answer his mother.
"Live on the second floor of dad's house." He told her as she arched an eyebrow in confusion. "We went over and dad was fixing up the bedroom. He told us you told him to do it."
"Oh, really?" she asked as an laugh escaped her lips. "Well, I have to go talk to your dad, how about you boys spar in the woods today, I don't want to scare Sakura off, just yet."
She watched the boys fly off and she walked over to Vegeta's. A small part of her was jealous that after only knowing of Sakura for 5 hours, he was ready for her to move in with him. Bulma, on the other hand, raised his son, and was his wife for almost 6 years.
She then thought that it was his own objective and there was nothing she could do. Besides, she already began to see Yamcha again, anyways.
She walked into the house quietly and went to the upstairs bedroom. Vegeta stood at the end of the bed with a brown paper bag and it appeared that he was putting up a white netting around the bed.
"Blasted human things!" he cursed at it, pulling more netting out of the bag. "How is this romantic? It's annoying!"
"Vegeta…" Bulma called out as Vegeta dropped the netting and thew a ki blast at her. She ducked just in time, just as he realized that he wasn't under attack, he maneuvered it to go out the window, hitting a tree.
"YOU…CRAZY WOMAN!" he yelled as he picked the net up, and then quickly threw it under the bed. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Nothing…" Bulma laughed looking at the hung tegument. "What happed to 'this is my house'…" she mocked him as his faced glowed a bright red.
"Woman! Wasn't it you who told me that I had no say in the matter anyway?" he asked as she smiled up at him.
"Ok, if you want to leave it at that, then that's fine." She said and began to walk downstairs. "What about the cat?"
"I can live with it." He said smugly as she snickered and walked away to the lab.

Sakura was putting the finishing touches on another capsule when Bulma walked in the door. "Wow!" she exclaimed looking at the box of finished inventions. "How on earth do you do it?"
"A trade secrete." Sakura smiled as Bulma sat next to her. "Your son is really cute."
"Thanks. He likes you a lot too." Bulma said picking up a wrench and setting it on the top of her knee. "The truth is, we all do. I wanted to ask you first, before Vegeta gets ahead of himself and asks you to marry him…but, I wanted to know if you'd want to move into the house next door. Mind you, Vegeta lives there too, and sometimes he can be…uh… acrimonious, at times. And if there is ever a problem with him, you tell me, and I'll end up getting Goku or Gohan to chill him out. So, what do you say?"
Bulma looked up at Sakura and was surprised to see that tears had gathered to the rims of her eyes. "I…yes! Oh…thank you!" she exclaimed and threw herself at Bulma into a tight hug. "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome." Bulma smiled as Sakura jumped up.
"Do you mind if I get my stuff now?" she asked as Bulma laughed. "I finished all the capsules and I'll cook dinner as soon as I get back!"
"Sure," Bulma said as she walked up to the intercom. "I'll have Vegeta show you the house first, if you want."
"Sure, that's cool." Sakura said as Bulma pushed the button.
"What, woman?" Vegeta snarled in response as Sakura looked at Bulma who shook her head.
"I need you to show Sakura the house and help her get her things." Bulma said, but Sakura had put her hand in hers.
"I don't need help, I can manage it." She said as Bulma shrugged.
"Ok, never mind, just show her the house so I can get ready." Bulma said as Vegeta snorted.
"Like I have nothing better to do with my time?" he snapped as Sakura's face fell. "But, I guess I can do it."
"Thank you." Bulma shot back and turned the intercom off. "Don't worry about him, he really likes you, he is just way too…well, Vegeta."
"Yeah," Sakura smiled politely, hoping that he was just being that way at Bulma. She knew that Vegeta was a proud Prince, and hoped that he wouldn't break her heart.

Vegeta sat on the living room couch waiting for Sakura to come over. He had made an attempt on the intercom to act like himself. He knew that once he and Sakura where alone, he was going to fall apart again.
He jumped off the couch as she knocked on the door. He tried to regain composure, and answered it. "Let's go." He said coldly turning his back to her, trying not too look into her eyes. "This is the living room. There is a hot tub and sauna through that door. The kitchen is in there. That's my room in that door." He said standing in the middle of the living room pointing at three doors. There was a large cherry-colored staircase that lead to a landing upstairs. "Up there is your room, and bathroom." He mumbled as he walked up the stairs. He pointed to her room and the large bathroom. "I don't like loud noises, my ears are very sensitive. I spar with that clown Kakarot most of the time. I like my dinner around seven, and I usually get my own breakfast and lunch."
"Oh, right." She muttered to the back of his head. "You did a great job of cooking today." She said angrily. He was being such a jerk!
"Anyway," Vegeta moved on downstairs, choosing to ignore that comment. He was being mean for a reason this time. "And as far as your cat goes, I sure hope it's an outside one."
"He is." She said and began to walk out the door. "I'm going to go get my things. I'll make sure your dinner is ready tonight, your highness." She then caught herself of the last word, and shut the door with a snap behind her. "Oops…shouldn't have said that. Well, it's a human phrase, anyway." She whispered to herself, and after making sure no one was watching her, she flew back to the hotel.

"I get to gooooooooo!" the cat sang happily as Sakura got her things together. "This is going to be great!"
"You better behave yourself!" Sakura said to the purple cat as it jumped up onto her shoulders. "And I mean it! Just remember…you…fly…splat."
"I will, I will." He said snapping his tail excitedly. "I haven't seen that Prince Lame-O in the longest time."
"Don't call him that." She said sadly as the cat looked into her eyes.
"What the matter?" he asked as Sakura quickly cleared her throat.
"Nothing is wrong. It just, he's being a little mean." She said as the cat snickered. "And you have to stay outside the house. Vegeta is allergic to cats."
"WHAT?!" the cat howled jumping in front of her. "WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM?! SOME KIND OF ANIMAL!?"
"You are an animal." She said smartly. "And if you know what's good for you, you shall do as I say."
"Fine…" the cat sniffed as the jumped back on her shoulder. She grabbed the rest of her stuff and headed to the house. She landed softly behind a tree and set the cat down.
"I'll bring you something to eat in a little bit." She told him as he flew into the tree angrily.
"Wow! A cat!" Sakura nearly jumped into the tree as Trunks and Goten walked up to her. "How'd you get back so quick?" he asked as Sakura smiled.
"Really good taxi service." She said as the cat laughed. She shot an angry look at him as he laid his head on a branch.
"Can we play with the cat?" Goten asked as the cat growled lightly.
"Sure, but if he's mean, you tell me and I'll take care of him. His name is…uh, Neko, by the way. Come here, Neko." She called as the cat shot her a angry look, but jumped down and let the two demi-Saiyans pet him. "Thata boy." She said and walked into the house.
Vegeta had fallen asleep on the couch as Sakura went up to her room. She unpacked all her clothes and looked around. There was a beautiful net around the bed that moved swiftly with the wind. It was all very exquisite. She went to the bathroom and unpacked her toiletries.
The bathtub was enormous. Everything was set in marble along with the floor, and even the toilet. "Damn…" she muttered looking around. "They are rich."
She walked back down the stairs and seen that Vegeta had stirred. She glanced at the clock and seen it was almost six.
She walked to the kitchen, no saying a word to Vegeta, and began to make dinner. She had began to make some roast beef when a voice called out to her.
"Psst, Sakura," she looked up and seen 'Neko' in the window. "Help!" he whispered as she heard the front door open. "Those little kids are going to kill me."
Just then the door to the kitchen opened as the cat jumped into the room and hid behind the garbage can. Vegeta walked in looking more mean than ever.
"My son is covered in that vermin's hair." He told her as she heard the cat growl quietly. "I am going to train in the gravity machine. Ring me when dinner is done." He said as Sakura eyes narrowed.

'Neko' had jumped back outside and ran to the gravity machine. He was not going to let Vegeta get away with this. He seen Vegeta's wild hair come toward him as he sat on the stairs next to the door. Vegeta stopped dead in his tracks as the cat smiled up at him.
"Shoo." Vegeta said as the cat walked toward him. "I said 'shoo'!" the Prince backed away as the cat jumped up onto his shoulder. "AHHHHHHHHHH!"
