A month had passed since the incident in Vega's room. She only spent a day or two living out of boxes and sleeping on Vegeta's futon, before she forced herself to stop being afraid of humans and ask Bulma and ChiChi if they wanted a third roommate. As the boys told her, they were delighted to have her move in. In no time at all, the three girls had become great friends. They borrowed each other clothes, did each other's hair, and on a couple occasions had a girls night out, which resulted in them coming back half drunk and rowdy and pulling pranks on Vegeta, Piccolo and Goku. Vegeta did not mind, however, he was just glad his sister was finally adjusting to earth. She was still a little apprehensive around humans she did know, but she did not let her slight fear overtake her.
It was Friday morning; all three girls were getting ready for their classes.
"Well, how do I look?" asked Vega walking out of the bathroom.
"You look great, but why are you dressed up?" asked ChiChi.
"I have to give a speech today in my public speaking class. I'm going to talk about Vegetasei." Said Vega. She was wearing a flowing, dark purple dress that reached about mid-thigh.
"You're going to be so cold outside." Added Bulma, "Be sure to bundle up."
"It's not that cold outside, plus, I can handle it."
"I suppose."
"Why are you so dressed up today?" Vega said to Bulma.
"I'm leaving after my classes today for Tokyo."
"Oh that's right, you're going to see Yamcha." Said ChiChi.
"Why doesn't he ever come here? I haven't met him." Said Vega.
"I don't know. I'll ask him when I see him tonight." Said Bulma, "Maybe he can come here next weekend."
"That would be fun, we could throw a little dorm party, or something." Said Vega. ChiChi gave her the "I think not" look. Bulma, who had finished getting ready, was getting ready to leave for class.
"Hey, are we meeting everyone for lunch today?" asked ChiChi.
"Yea, I think so. I think Vegeta wants to eat at around 1pm." Said Vega.
"Are you going to meet us there, Bulma?" asked ChiChi.
"No, I'm leaving right after class for Yamcha's." At this point, Vega was ready to leave too.
"Well, if I don't see you before you leave, drive carefully and be careful this weekend." Said Vega.
"Jeez, mom, I'll be fine." Mocked Bulma.
"Oh shut up, if you need anything you'll call, right?" asked ChiChi.
"I'll be fine." Said Bulma standing in the doorway, "You two have a fun weekend? Don't get into any trouble. Vega, I'm talking to you. Bye guys." With that Bulma left.
"Me, in trouble, what on earth is she talking about?" Vega said sarcastically.
"Who knows?" replied ChiChi, "Any how, guess what?"
"What?"
"Goku, is taking me out to dinner and a movie tonight." ChiChi said excitedly, "He's never offered to take me to dinner before."
"I bet he did something wrong and this is his way of buttering you up for forgiveness." Teased Vega.
"NO! He would never do something like that. Would he?" asked ChiChi half heart broken.
"Well, he is a saiyan." Replied Vega, then she noticed ChiChi looking a little worried, "hey don't worry. I'm sure he just wants to take you out somewhere nice."
"Yea, he's a goof most of the time, but ever so often he shows his teeny tiny romantic side." Laughed ChiChi. Both girls laughed.
Meanwhile, down stairs, in the boy's room all three alarms were going off, but all three men remained asleep. Finally, Vegeta rolled over, faintly hearing the alarm in his head; he reached over to hit the snooze button, but missed, lost his balance and went crashing to the floor. The crash to the floor was enough to wake Piccolo and Goku.
"WHAT THE FLAMING HELL!" yelled Vegeta. Piccolo and Goku we sitting up in their beds looking at Vegeta on the floor.
"You ok, man?" asked Goku.
"Shut up, Kakarot. What time is it?"
"It's quarter to eight." Replied Goku.
"OH CRAP!" yelped Piccolo, "I have 15 minutes to get to class." Piccolo got out of bed and floated to the floor and rushed around the room putting on some clothes and grabbing his backpack and fleeing out the door in less than 15 minutes. Vegeta decided to just stay awake rather than go back to sleep, unlike Goku. Vegeta puttered about the room, until he was ready to leave for class. But before he left, he walked over to Goku's bed and levitated in front of him. He reached over Goku and plugged his nose.
"*Snort* huh, what?" grogged Goku as he woke up to a laughing Vegeta.
"Wake up, Kakarot."
"What time is it?" asked Goku.
"It's almost 8:30, don't you have class at nine?"
"Yea."
"I thought so, now get your sorry excuse for a saiyan ass out of bed." Snarled Vegeta.
"Jeez, someone's in a grumpy mood." Teased Goku.
"Yea, well, I have a lot to do today. I don't feel like babysitting you."
"Whatever, Vegeta." with that Vegeta walked out the door and headed to class.
Walking out the front door of the hall, Vegeta looked across the way to see Vega standing next to the building across the street rooting for something in her book bag.
"VEGA!" yelled Vegeta. Vega looked up to see her brother jogging her way. She waved to him.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing, I'm just on my way to class. Where are you headed?" asked Vegeta.
"Well, it's 8:30 in the morning, I'm dressed rather sharply, if do say so myself, and I'm lugging this book bag around, I would say that my appearance suggest that I'm on my way to class."
"You don't have to be a smart ass." Snapped Vegeta.
"Sorry, I'm just under a huge amount of pressure. I have to give a speech today in front of everyone in my class. We have training this afternoon and I swear on my life, I'm finally going to kick your ass today and that's the only thing I have to look forward to."
"I assure you, you will never beat me. You're an excellent fighter, if I were a human about to attack you, I'd be dead, but you'll never beat me. So that's one less piece of pressure for you." Spat Vegeta.
"Gee, thanks for your support, but I will beat you, only if it ever happens once, I will do it."
"You don't train enough. We only have class 3 days a week. I train 7 days a week. I get up at the crack of dawn on the weekends and go to train. You should do the same."
"Vegeta, I have way too much to do, to train on the weekends and on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have public speaking speeches to write, I have Literature papers to write, I have programs I have to develop for computers, and I have to figure out how I'm going to train with someone else in class other than you."
"Why? Don't you want to train with me?" questioned Vegeta.
"Because, I know every move you're going to make before you make it. We know each others fighting so well, that it's no help to me to train with you." Said Vega as she started to walk towards her class.
"I know, I think of it as us perfecting our skills." Said Vegeta.
"But having perfected skills will not help us if we're even in combat, I won't know my adversaries skills."
"Who are you going to find in our class that can even equal your power level? They are all a bunch of weak humans. You could kick all their asses, by yourself, with your eyes closed."
"I know, that's my problem." Sighed Vega; "I might have to ask Kakarot to train with me. He's got combat training too, but he's not in our class, he's in a higher level."
"You could ask, I think he has a problem fighting with women, though." Said Vegeta.
"Yea, well so does everyone in our class, along with all the other classes. In fact, Vegeta, I'm the only female in all the combat classes. Well, here is my building. I'll see you at lunch." With that Vega walked into the building and went to her class.
The morning went by as typical as the last for everyone. It was now quarter after one and everyone except Bulma and Vega were eating lunch.
"Where is Vega at?" asked ChiChi, "She should have been back at the dorm before we even left for lunch."
"I saw her this morning on my way to class. She was little stressed, to say the least."
"Well, she did have to give that speech today." Said ChiChi.
"Yea, I know," said Vegeta, "She was still a little afraid of you and Bulma even after she moved in, but to get up in front of all those people in her class and speak, she must have been terrified."
"Well, she practiced her speech in front of me yesterday. It was really good." Said Piccolo.
"What was it on?" asked Goku.
"Vegetasei." Said ChiChi.
"She talked about Vegetasei, I bet those people in her class were either afraid of her or bored to tears." Said Vegeta.
"I would actually like to hear it, I haven't been back there since I came to earth. I really don't know anything about it." Just then Piccolo, in mid bite of his meal, stopped and looked in awe across the room.
"Piccolo, earth to Piccolo," said Goku noticing his friend staring off into the distance. Goku looked where Piccolo was looking to see what caught his attention. He saw Vega getting a glass of water at the pop station. "Oh look, there's Vega." Piccolo was still captivated by her appearance.
"HEY!" Vegeta yelled at Piccolo, "Stop gauking at my sister." Piccolo realizing he was gauking, caught himself.
"Where's Vega?" said Piccolo trying to sound as though he wasn't looking at her.
"She's over there, you moron, you were just staring at her." Said Vegeta.
"VEGA! OVER HERE!" ChiChi stood up and waved. Vega walked quickly over to where everyone was sitting and sat down. Piccolo kept making quick glances at her when she wasn't looking.
"Vega, what are you dress like that for?" asked Vegeta.
"Um, well I had to be dressed up for my speech today." She replied sarcastically.
"It's too short. If you bend over the whole planet gets a view of your underside." Vegeta snapped.
"You saw me in this earlier today, and you didn't say anything. What makes now any different from this morning?"
"Well, you had a coat on and that covered most everything that needed it. Dad would have a conniption fit if he saw you in that." Snarled Vegeta.
"Well, fortunately for me, Dad's not here, and you're not Dad, so quit treating me like a child."
"Hey, Vega, how did your speech go?" asked Goku, trying to stop the arguing.
"Well, other than the fact that no one listened to what I was saying and the Q and A portion of my speech was rather degrading, my speech went fine."
"How was it degrading?" asked ChiChi.
"The few that did ask questions, asked stupid question. Like, "So, you say that your "alien" race has control over at least 50 other planets. Are you all a bunch of barbarians?" or my favorite was, "Why do you have tails and what happened to yours?" Said Vega.
"What did you tell them?" said Vegeta in a rude ticked off tone.
"About our tails, nothing, do you know why we have them?" said Vega, waiting a couple seconds for an answer, "I didn't think so, and about why ours is gone, is really none of their business. As for the barbarian question, I quickly reminded them of the treaty Earth holds with Vegetasei and how it is under our strict protection and I brought up the Religious Crusades where hundreds of thousands of people were killed because of their religion. That shut them up."
"Good." Snapped Vegeta.
"What is your problem today?" Vega snapped back, "You've been an jerk all day! What is your problem?" ChiChi, Goku and Piccolo (who had not been able to stop looking at Vega long enough to say anything) looked at each other as if they were waiting for the dinning room to explode.
"I have not been in a foul mood, in fact I'm in a great mood. You're just cranking because your speech sucked and no one listened."
"I know why you're so testy; you're up set that Bulma is gone. You miss Bulma." cooed Vega.
"I DO NOT LIKE HER!" Yelled Vegeta.
"Whatever, Vegeta," teased Vega, "Your pissed that she's visiting her boyfriend this weekend instead of helping you with math. You're mad because someone else's arms are going to be around her this weekend and not yours."
"I do not like Bulma, end of discussion. If I am in a cranky mood, it's because my sister is walking around campus dressed like a tramp." Yelled Vegeta. Piccolo choked on his food, while ChiChi and Goku just stared at each other in shock of what Vegeta had said. Vega just stood up and grabbed her lunch tray
"We'll settle this in training." Vega replied coldly as she walked away.
"Jeez, Vegeta, you just called your sister a tramp." Said Goku.
"I know what I said." Said Vegeta.
"You're gonna get your ass kicked in training today." Warned ChiChi.
"She will never beat me." Said Vegeta.
About an hour later, Vegeta and Vega met each other at class. Vega was way to mad at Vegeta to talk to him let alone walk with him to class. They sat next to each other on the mats listening to the instructor talk about what the day's lesson was about. When the instructor finally told everyone to pair up and spar he called Vegeta into his office.
"Are you going to train with me or what?" asked Vegeta walking toward the instructors office.
"I don't have a choice." Replied Vega coldly. Vegeta walked into his instructor's office.
"What's up?" asked Vegeta.
"Ok, I'm just going to get to the point. I have to split up you and Vega. You two are by far two of the best fighters I have ever seen, but you're both not making any progress. I want to put you in my higher level course."
"Ok," said Vegeta slowly, "Can I ask why?"
"Vega can't hit you. I have seen her go at you with everything she has and she still can't get in a winning blow. It's her reflexes. They are too slow for yours. Vega needs to work on that, maybe then she will have a chance." His instructor explained, "See strength is not an issue for you two, like it is for the others in the class, it's reflexes. Hers are just too slow. When you two fight, I see you wait for her already slow reflexes to get slower and then you take her down. She's not going to quicken her reflexes constantly fighting with you."
"Do you know what we are?" asked Vegeta.
"Yes, I know you're both saiyans."
"Ok, then you know that she can take on all those weak humans, and win, without breaking a sweat. Because of that reasoning, she will not fight with any of them." Explained Vegeta, "I will go into your higher level class if it doesn't conflict with my other classes, but know this, Vega is very afraid of human. She trusts only a few, and me not being here with her might make it hard for her to train."
"I don't plan on training her to win. I plan on training her reflexes. I am going to train with her for the remainder of the semester and build her reflexes." Said the instructor.
"OK, let me tell her though," said Vegeta, "She might take it better from me." With that Vegeta walked out of the office and began to fight with Vega.
"What did he want?" Snapped Vega.
"Nothing, I'll tell you later." Said Vegeta, "You're not still mad at me are you?"
"Furious." Said Vega as she jumped at him and tried to kick him in head. Vega and Vegeta fought non-stop for an hour. Vega throwing punches and kicks, while Vegeta blocked every one of them. Vegeta got in some very critical punches and kicks himself. After an hour, Vega was getting angrier at Vegeta for calling her a tramp at lunch and for not being able to get a hit in. Her anger flowed and flowed. Vegeta finally realized what the teacher was talking about when he said her reflexes were slow. Vegeta himself was getting angry with Vega for her useless, non-stop attacks. He could feel her rage for him at that moment. Vegeta made one huge roundhouse kick at her. The kick was so hard that Vega flew across the gym and went chest first, through the wall and into the men's locker room. Everyone in the class stopped and stared as Vegeta stalked over to his beaten, bleeding sister.
"What is your problem?" Vegeta yelled, "You are completely out of control."
"Oh, go screw yourself." Mumbled Vega as she pulled herself off the rubble and blood and walked away from Vegeta. The bleeding Vega walked into the women's locker room, grabbed her bag with what little strength she had and quietly walked out of the building and went back to her dorm.
When Vega walked into her dorm, ChiChi and Goku were there, talking about their plans for the evening.
"Oh my god, Vega, what happened?" asked ChiChi.
"Nothing." Replied Vega as she walked into the bathroom. Once in the bathroom, Goku spoke.
"I bet she lost big to Vegeta today."
"She was really mad at him after lunch today, I bet she's even more mad now." Said ChiChi.
"I'm going to go ask Vegeta what happened." Said Goku; "I'll be back here at 5:30 to pick you up."
"Ok," said ChiChi as she kissed him on the cheek. Goku just blushed as he walked out the door. Vega was in the bathroom looking at her wounds. She came out of the bathroom with her training uniform half on and her top half covered in a sports bra. ChiChi saw the huge wounds on her back and sides.
"Oh, Kami, what happened?" asked ChiChi. Vega handed ChiChi a pair of tweezers.
"There is a chuck of brick in this wound on my shoulder blade. I can't reach it. I know it's gross, but could you try and pick it out. Vegeta usually does it, but I'm not talking to him." ChiChi making a face reluctantly agreed.
While ChiChi cleaned up Vega's wounds, Vega told her what happened. By the time ChiChi finished helping Vega, it was almost 5'o clock.
"OH my god, I have to get ready. Goku will be here in a half hour." Shrieked ChiChi. While ChiChi ran about the room trying to get ready, Vega took a shower. Trying desperately to wash the blood stains from her skin. Vega came out of the bathroom just in time to see ChiChi before she left.
"Vega, don't wait up, hopefully we'll be home late." Yelled ChiChi from the doorway.
"Ok, have fun." Vega replied. Vega finished drying her long black hair and crawled onto the makeshift couch they had and pulled a blanket over herself and decided to watch TV. After about 10 minutes of watching TV, Vega had fallen asleep.
About 3 hours later, there was a knock on her door. Vega did not hear the first knock, but she definitely heard the pound of the second knock. It scared her half to death.
"I AM SO GONNA KICK YOUR ASS, VEGET..." yelled Vega as she opened the door and saw Piccolo standing in front of her, "Oh, hi."
"You sound disappointed to see me." Said Piccolo.
"Sorry, come in." Vega said, "I had a bad spar today. I'm still a little angry."
"Yea, Vegeta told me. Are you ok?" Piccolo concerned himself.
"Yea, I feel better now."
"Well that's good." Said Piccolo, "So, what are your plans for the evening?"
"Well, this is it. I was going to stay here for the evening. I'm not talking to Vegeta, so he and I aren't doing anything." Said Vega.
"Yea, he says he's not talking to you either, until you stop "acting like a spoiled princess."
"Whatever, so do you want to do something tonight?" asked Vega.
"Sure, I heard of a dance club in town we could go to." Replied Piccolo.
"Sounds fun, can you give me like a half hour to get ready?" asked Vega.
"I'm going to assume you haven't had dinner yet." Said Piccolo.
"Nope."
"Well, get ready, we'll go get some dinner and then we'll go to the club."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Said Vega. In no time at all Vega had changed and fixed her hair. Vega had put on a black cotton bell bottoms and a red zip down shirt. She walked out of the bathroom and Piccolo's mouth just about hit the floor when he saw her. She did not look amazing, but to him, she looked absolutely radiant.
"You ready to go?" asked Piccolo.
"Yeppers. Let's go." With that Piccolo and Vega left for dinner.
Just as they shut the door and left, the phone rang in the girl's dorm. After 5 rings, the answering machine picked it up.
"*Hi, you have reached the room of Bulma, ChiChi and Vega. We're busy doing our hair and kicking some Saiyan Prince ass right now, so we can't come to the Phone. Leave a message and we'll call you back when we're done. Bye.* BEEP!" It was Bulma on the phone, "Hi girls, it's me. I might be back earlier than I expected. So, I guess I'll see you gu..." Click.
It was just about 11:30pm when Vega and Piccolo got into the club. They waited out side for about a half-hour before they got in. There were tons of people there and the music was booming. Piccolo and Vega checked their coats and went to the bathrooms to wash the X's off their hands. They both emerged from the bathrooms X free and went to go get a drink.
"What can I get you two to drink?" asked the bartender.
"I'll have a Grolsh." Said Piccolo.
"I'll have a Long Island Ice Tea." Said Vega. A couple minutes later, Piccolo paid the bartender and they walked around the club. "Thank you for the drink. I'll buy the next round."
"No Problem." Said Piccolo as they walked around; "Hey look they have pool tables. We definitely have to play."
"Ok, I'll play a round of pool with you, if you dance afterwards." Said Vega.
"Ok, fine." Said Piccolo, not really wanting to dance. The two played two rounds of pool and had about 4 more drinks each by the time they finished playing pool. The second game ended early because they were too buzzed to care if the game was being played properly or not.
"Ok, Namek, now, we dance."
"Ok, Saiyan, but we have to do a shot first." Insisted Piccolo.
"Alrighty then." Laughed Vega as they walked back up to the bar. After waiting in line, they walked away from the bar with 4 shots, 2 of Rupplemintz, and 2 of Tequila, along with the lemons and salt. They both took down both of the shots. After the two shots they had crossed the line of being buzzed into being slightly drunk. "COME ON, LET'S DANCE!" Yelled Vega. The two went out onto the dance floor and danced for the rest of the evening. Only a few slow songs played while they were dancing, but while they did play, Vega and Piccolo danced close to each other. Ever so often, during the faster songs, Vega danced very seductively with Piccolo as he did with her. They danced until they called last call at the bar. Vega and Piccolo decided to go get one more drink before the bar closed.
"Ok, Namek, we have to pound these, but before we do, we have to drink for something." Said Vega.
"Ok, with this beer I drink to the great time we had tonight." Said Piccolo with a smile.
"Ok, with this beer I drink to the great time we had tonight, and I drink to kicking my brothers ass some day." Said Vega.
"Are you still mad about that?" asked Piccolo.
"Not anymore, this made me feel so much better."
"Good, because you're not a tramp." Said Piccolo, "ok, now pound that beer Saiyan." The two pounded their beers. Vega was not as successful as Piccolo, she only got a little more than half of it down, but after a breath, she downed the rest.
"Ok, we should get going. It's going to be a long walk back to campus." Said Vega.
"Well, we could fly." Said Piccolo.
"Um, no, we're walking."
About an hour later, a drunk Piccolo and Vega walked into their dorm building. Piccolo went with Vega up to the 16th floor to make sure she got there safely. When they reached her room she unlocked the door and stood in the doorway.
"I had fun tonight. Thanks for getting me out of this dorm."
"Hey, you had a bad day, I wasn't going to sit around with a pissed off Vegeta all night. Plus, I had fun too."
"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." said Vega. She reached up and put her arms around his neck and gave him a hug, "Thanks for taking me out." She whispered. She looked up at Piccolo as she released her grip on his neck. He looked down at her and smiled as he leaned down and kissed her gently and not to long. When their short, sweet embrace ended, Vega look at Piccolo.
"Oh crap." Smiled Vega as she reached up and kissed him again. They both backed into Vega's dorm and shut and locked the door,
Hi everyone. I know this chapter was long. I just had so much I wanted to get out before the next chapter. Please review. I love review, but remember no flames. But I do love suggestions. I hope you like this chapter. I'll start the next chapter tomorrow or something. Take care.
Vegea.
It was Friday morning; all three girls were getting ready for their classes.
"Well, how do I look?" asked Vega walking out of the bathroom.
"You look great, but why are you dressed up?" asked ChiChi.
"I have to give a speech today in my public speaking class. I'm going to talk about Vegetasei." Said Vega. She was wearing a flowing, dark purple dress that reached about mid-thigh.
"You're going to be so cold outside." Added Bulma, "Be sure to bundle up."
"It's not that cold outside, plus, I can handle it."
"I suppose."
"Why are you so dressed up today?" Vega said to Bulma.
"I'm leaving after my classes today for Tokyo."
"Oh that's right, you're going to see Yamcha." Said ChiChi.
"Why doesn't he ever come here? I haven't met him." Said Vega.
"I don't know. I'll ask him when I see him tonight." Said Bulma, "Maybe he can come here next weekend."
"That would be fun, we could throw a little dorm party, or something." Said Vega. ChiChi gave her the "I think not" look. Bulma, who had finished getting ready, was getting ready to leave for class.
"Hey, are we meeting everyone for lunch today?" asked ChiChi.
"Yea, I think so. I think Vegeta wants to eat at around 1pm." Said Vega.
"Are you going to meet us there, Bulma?" asked ChiChi.
"No, I'm leaving right after class for Yamcha's." At this point, Vega was ready to leave too.
"Well, if I don't see you before you leave, drive carefully and be careful this weekend." Said Vega.
"Jeez, mom, I'll be fine." Mocked Bulma.
"Oh shut up, if you need anything you'll call, right?" asked ChiChi.
"I'll be fine." Said Bulma standing in the doorway, "You two have a fun weekend? Don't get into any trouble. Vega, I'm talking to you. Bye guys." With that Bulma left.
"Me, in trouble, what on earth is she talking about?" Vega said sarcastically.
"Who knows?" replied ChiChi, "Any how, guess what?"
"What?"
"Goku, is taking me out to dinner and a movie tonight." ChiChi said excitedly, "He's never offered to take me to dinner before."
"I bet he did something wrong and this is his way of buttering you up for forgiveness." Teased Vega.
"NO! He would never do something like that. Would he?" asked ChiChi half heart broken.
"Well, he is a saiyan." Replied Vega, then she noticed ChiChi looking a little worried, "hey don't worry. I'm sure he just wants to take you out somewhere nice."
"Yea, he's a goof most of the time, but ever so often he shows his teeny tiny romantic side." Laughed ChiChi. Both girls laughed.

Finally, Vegeta rolled over, faintly hearing the alarm in his head; he reached over to hit the snooze button, but missed, lost his balance and went crashing to the floor. The crash to the floor was enough to wake Piccolo and Goku.
"WHAT THE FLAMING HELL!" yelled Vegeta. Piccolo and Goku we sitting up in their beds looking at Vegeta on the floor.
"You ok, man?" asked Goku.
"Shut up, Kakarot. What time is it?"
"It's quarter to eight." Replied Goku.
"OH CRAP!" yelped Piccolo, "I have 15 minutes to get to class." Piccolo got out of bed and floated to the floor and rushed around the room putting on some clothes and grabbing his backpack and fleeing out the door in less than 15 minutes. Vegeta decided to just stay awake rather than go back to sleep, unlike Goku. Vegeta puttered about the room, until he was ready to leave for class. But before he left, he walked over to Goku's bed and levitated in front of him. He reached over Goku and plugged his nose.
"*Snort* huh, what?" grogged Goku as he woke up to a laughing Vegeta.
"Wake up, Kakarot."
"What time is it?" asked Goku.
"It's almost 8:30, don't you have class at nine?"
"Yea."
"I thought so, now get your sorry excuse for a saiyan ass out of bed." Snarled Vegeta.
"Jeez, someone's in a grumpy mood." Teased Goku.
"Yea, well, I have a lot to do today. I don't feel like babysitting you."
"Whatever, Vegeta." with that Vegeta walked out the door and headed to class.
Walking out the front door of the hall, Vegeta looked across the way to see Vega standing next to the building across the street rooting for something in her book bag.
"VEGA!" yelled Vegeta. Vega looked up to see her brother jogging her way. She waved to him.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing, I'm just on my way to class. Where are you headed?" asked Vegeta.
"Well, it's 8:30 in the morning, I'm dressed rather sharply, if do say so myself, and I'm lugging this book bag around, I would say that my appearance suggest that I'm on my way to class."
"You don't have to be a smart ass." Snapped Vegeta.
"Sorry, I'm just under a huge amount of pressure. I have to give a speech today in front of everyone in my class. We have training this afternoon and I swear on my life, I'm finally going to kick your ass today and that's the only thing I have to look forward to."
"I assure you, you will never beat me. You're an excellent fighter, if I were a human about to attack you, I'd be dead, but you'll never beat me. So that's one less piece of pressure for you." Spat Vegeta.
"Gee, thanks for your support, but I will beat you, only if it ever happens once, I will do it."
"You don't train enough. We only have class 3 days a week. I train 7 days a week. I get up at the crack of dawn on the weekends and go to train. You should do the same."
"Vegeta, I have way too much to do, to train on the weekends and on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have public speaking speeches to write, I have Literature papers to write, I have programs I have to develop for computers, and I have to figure out how I'm going to train with someone else in class other than you."
"Why? Don't you want to train with me?" questioned Vegeta.
"Because, I know every move you're going to make before you make it. We know each others fighting so well, that it's no help to me to train with you." Said Vega as she started to walk towards her class.
"I know, I think of it as us perfecting our skills." Said Vegeta.
"But having perfected skills will not help us if we're even in combat, I won't know my adversaries skills."
"Who are you going to find in our class that can even equal your power level? They are all a bunch of weak humans. You could kick all their asses, by yourself, with your eyes closed."
"I know, that's my problem." Sighed Vega; "I might have to ask Kakarot to train with me. He's got combat training too, but he's not in our class, he's in a higher level."
"You could ask, I think he has a problem fighting with women, though." Said Vegeta.
"Yea, well so does everyone in our class, along with all the other classes. In fact, Vegeta, I'm the only female in all the combat classes. Well, here is my building. I'll see you at lunch." With that Vega walked into the building and went to her class.
The morning went by as typical as the last for everyone. It was now quarter after one and everyone except Bulma and Vega were eating lunch.
"Where is Vega at?" asked ChiChi, "She should have been back at the dorm before we even left for lunch."
"I saw her this morning on my way to class. She was little stressed, to say the least."
"Well, she did have to give that speech today." Said ChiChi.
"Yea, I know," said Vegeta, "She was still a little afraid of you and Bulma even after she moved in, but to get up in front of all those people in her class and speak, she must have been terrified."
"Well, she practiced her speech in front of me yesterday. It was really good." Said Piccolo.
"What was it on?" asked Goku.
"Vegetasei." Said ChiChi.
"She talked about Vegetasei, I bet those people in her class were either afraid of her or bored to tears." Said Vegeta.
"I would actually like to hear it, I haven't been back there since I came to earth. I really don't know anything about it." Just then Piccolo, in mid bite of his meal, stopped and looked in awe across the room.
"Piccolo, earth to Piccolo," said Goku noticing his friend staring off into the distance. Goku looked where Piccolo was looking to see what caught his attention. He saw Vega getting a glass of water at the pop station. "Oh look, there's Vega." Piccolo was still captivated by her appearance.
"HEY!" Vegeta yelled at Piccolo, "Stop gauking at my sister." Piccolo realizing he was gauking, caught himself.
"Where's Vega?" said Piccolo trying to sound as though he wasn't looking at her.
"She's over there, you moron, you were just staring at her." Said Vegeta.
"VEGA! OVER HERE!" ChiChi stood up and waved. Vega walked quickly over to where everyone was sitting and sat down. Piccolo kept making quick glances at her when she wasn't looking.
"Vega, what are you dress like that for?" asked Vegeta.
"Um, well I had to be dressed up for my speech today." She replied sarcastically.
"It's too short. If you bend over the whole planet gets a view of your underside." Vegeta snapped.
"You saw me in this earlier today, and you didn't say anything. What makes now any different from this morning?"
"Well, you had a coat on and that covered most everything that needed it. Dad would have a conniption fit if he saw you in that." Snarled Vegeta.
"Well, fortunately for me, Dad's not here, and you're not Dad, so quit treating me like a child."
"Hey, Vega, how did your speech go?" asked Goku, trying to stop the arguing.
"Well, other than the fact that no one listened to what I was saying and the Q and A portion of my speech was rather degrading, my speech went fine."
"How was it degrading?" asked ChiChi.
"The few that did ask questions, asked stupid question. Like, "So, you say that your "alien" race has control over at least 50 other planets. Are you all a bunch of barbarians?" or my favorite was, "Why do you have tails and what happened to yours?" Said Vega.
"What did you tell them?" said Vegeta in a rude ticked off tone.
"About our tails, nothing, do you know why we have them?" said Vega, waiting a couple seconds for an answer, "I didn't think so, and about why ours is gone, is really none of their business. As for the barbarian question, I quickly reminded them of the treaty Earth holds with Vegetasei and how it is under our strict protection and I brought up the Religious Crusades where hundreds of thousands of people were killed because of their religion. That shut them up."
"Good." Snapped Vegeta.
"What is your problem today?" Vega snapped back, "You've been an jerk all day! What is your problem?" ChiChi, Goku and Piccolo (who had not been able to stop looking at Vega long enough to say anything) looked at each other as if they were waiting for the dinning room to explode.
"I have not been in a foul mood, in fact I'm in a great mood. You're just cranking because your speech sucked and no one listened."
"I know why you're so testy; you're up set that Bulma is gone. You miss Bulma." cooed Vega.
"I DO NOT LIKE HER!" Yelled Vegeta.
"Whatever, Vegeta," teased Vega, "Your pissed that she's visiting her boyfriend this weekend instead of helping you with math. You're mad because someone else's arms are going to be around her this weekend and not yours."
"I do not like Bulma, end of discussion. If I am in a cranky mood, it's because my sister is walking around campus dressed like a tramp." Yelled Vegeta. Piccolo choked on his food, while ChiChi and Goku just stared at each other in shock of what Vegeta had said. Vega just stood up and grabbed her lunch tray
"We'll settle this in training." Vega replied coldly as she walked away.
"Jeez, Vegeta, you just called your sister a tramp." Said Goku.
"I know what I said." Said Vegeta.
"You're gonna get your ass kicked in training today." Warned ChiChi.
"She will never beat me." Said Vegeta.
About an hour later, Vegeta and Vega met each other at class. Vega was way to mad at Vegeta to talk to him let alone walk with him to class. They sat next to each other on the mats listening to the instructor talk about what the day's lesson was about. When the instructor finally told everyone to pair up and spar he called Vegeta into his office.
"Are you going to train with me or what?" asked Vegeta walking toward the instructors office.
"I don't have a choice." Replied Vega coldly. Vegeta walked into his instructor's office.
"What's up?" asked Vegeta.
"Ok, I'm just going to get to the point. I have to split up you and Vega. You two are by far two of the best fighters I have ever seen, but you're both not making any progress. I want to put you in my higher level course."
"Ok," said Vegeta slowly, "Can I ask why?"
"Vega can't hit you. I have seen her go at you with everything she has and she still can't get in a winning blow. It's her reflexes. They are too slow for yours. Vega needs to work on that, maybe then she will have a chance." His instructor explained, "See strength is not an issue for you two, like it is for the others in the class, it's reflexes. Hers are just too slow. When you two fight, I see you wait for her already slow reflexes to get slower and then you take her down. She's not going to quicken her reflexes constantly fighting with you."
"Do you know what we are?" asked Vegeta.
"Yes, I know you're both saiyans."
"Ok, then you know that she can take on all those weak humans, and win, without breaking a sweat. Because of that reasoning, she will not fight with any of them." Explained Vegeta, "I will go into your higher level class if it doesn't conflict with my other classes, but know this, Vega is very afraid of human. She trusts only a few, and me not being here with her might make it hard for her to train."
"I don't plan on training her to win. I plan on training her reflexes. I am going to train with her for the remainder of the semester and build her reflexes." Said the instructor.
"OK, let me tell her though," said Vegeta, "She might take it better from me." With that Vegeta walked out of the office and began to fight with Vega.
"What did he want?" Snapped Vega.
"Nothing, I'll tell you later." Said Vegeta, "You're not still mad at me are you?"
"Furious." Said Vega as she jumped at him and tried to kick him in head. Vega and Vegeta fought non-stop for an hour. Vega throwing punches and kicks, while Vegeta blocked every one of them. Vegeta got in some very critical punches and kicks himself. After an hour, Vega was getting angrier at Vegeta for calling her a tramp at lunch and for not being able to get a hit in. Her anger flowed and flowed. Vegeta finally realized what the teacher was talking about when he said her reflexes were slow. Vegeta himself was getting angry with Vega for her useless, non-stop attacks. He could feel her rage for him at that moment. Vegeta made one huge roundhouse kick at her. The kick was so hard that Vega flew across the gym and went chest first, through the wall and into the men's locker room. Everyone in the class stopped and stared as Vegeta stalked over to his beaten, bleeding sister.
"What is your problem?" Vegeta yelled, "You are completely out of control."
"Oh, go screw yourself." Mumbled Vega as she pulled herself off the rubble and blood and walked away from Vegeta. The bleeding Vega walked into the women's locker room, grabbed her bag with what little strength she had and quietly walked out of the building and went back to her dorm.
When Vega walked into her dorm, ChiChi and Goku were there, talking about their plans for the evening.
"Oh my god, Vega, what happened?" asked ChiChi.
"Nothing." Replied Vega as she walked into the bathroom. Once in the bathroom, Goku spoke.
"I bet she lost big to Vegeta today."
"She was really mad at him after lunch today, I bet she's even more mad now." Said ChiChi.
"I'm going to go ask Vegeta what happened." Said Goku; "I'll be back here at 5:30 to pick you up."
"Ok," said ChiChi as she kissed him on the cheek. Goku just blushed as he walked out the door. Vega was in the bathroom looking at her wounds. She came out of the bathroom with her training uniform half on and her top half covered in a sports bra. ChiChi saw the huge wounds on her back and sides.
"Oh, Kami, what happened?" asked ChiChi. Vega handed ChiChi a pair of tweezers.
"There is a chuck of brick in this wound on my shoulder blade. I can't reach it. I know it's gross, but could you try and pick it out. Vegeta usually does it, but I'm not talking to him." ChiChi making a face reluctantly agreed.
While ChiChi cleaned up Vega's wounds, Vega told her what happened. By the time ChiChi finished helping Vega, it was almost 5'o clock.
"OH my god, I have to get ready. Goku will be here in a half hour." Shrieked ChiChi. While ChiChi ran about the room trying to get ready, Vega took a shower. Trying desperately to wash the blood stains from her skin. Vega came out of the bathroom just in time to see ChiChi before she left.
"Vega, don't wait up, hopefully we'll be home late." Yelled ChiChi from the doorway.
"Ok, have fun." Vega replied. Vega finished drying her long black hair and crawled onto the makeshift couch they had and pulled a blanket over herself and decided to watch TV. After about 10 minutes of watching TV, Vega had fallen asleep.
About 3 hours later, there was a knock on her door. Vega did not hear the first knock, but she definitely heard the pound of the second knock. It scared her half to death.
"I AM SO GONNA KICK YOUR ASS, VEGET..." yelled Vega as she opened the door and saw Piccolo standing in front of her, "Oh, hi."
"You sound disappointed to see me." Said Piccolo.
"Sorry, come in." Vega said, "I had a bad spar today. I'm still a little angry."
"Yea, Vegeta told me. Are you ok?" Piccolo concerned himself.
"Yea, I feel better now."
"Well that's good." Said Piccolo, "So, what are your plans for the evening?"
"Well, this is it. I was going to stay here for the evening. I'm not talking to Vegeta, so he and I aren't doing anything." Said Vega.
"Yea, he says he's not talking to you either, until you stop "acting like a spoiled princess."
"Whatever, so do you want to do something tonight?" asked Vega.
"Sure, I heard of a dance club in town we could go to." Replied Piccolo.
"Sounds fun, can you give me like a half hour to get ready?" asked Vega.
"I'm going to assume you haven't had dinner yet." Said Piccolo.
"Nope."
"Well, get ready, we'll go get some dinner and then we'll go to the club."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Said Vega. In no time at all Vega had changed and fixed her hair. Vega had put on a black cotton bell bottoms and a red zip down shirt. She walked out of the bathroom and Piccolo's mouth just about hit the floor when he saw her. She did not look amazing, but to him, she looked absolutely radiant.
"You ready to go?" asked Piccolo.
"Yeppers. Let's go." With that Piccolo and Vega left for dinner.
Just as they shut the door and left, the phone rang in the girl's dorm. After 5 rings, the answering machine picked it up.
"*Hi, you have reached the room of Bulma, ChiChi and Vega. We're busy doing our hair and kicking some Saiyan Prince ass right now, so we can't come to the Phone. Leave a message and we'll call you back when we're done. Bye.* BEEP!" It was Bulma on the phone, "Hi girls, it's me. I might be back earlier than I expected. So, I guess I'll see you gu..." Click.
It was just about 11:30pm when Vega and Piccolo got into the club. They waited out side for about a half-hour before they got in. There were tons of people there and the music was booming. Piccolo and Vega checked their coats and went to the bathrooms to wash the X's off their hands. They both emerged from the bathrooms X free and went to go get a drink.
"What can I get you two to drink?" asked the bartender.
"I'll have a Grolsh." Said Piccolo.
"I'll have a Long Island Ice Tea." Said Vega. A couple minutes later, Piccolo paid the bartender and they walked around the club. "Thank you for the drink. I'll buy the next round."
"No Problem." Said Piccolo as they walked around; "Hey look they have pool tables. We definitely have to play."
"Ok, I'll play a round of pool with you, if you dance afterwards." Said Vega.
"Ok, fine." Said Piccolo, not really wanting to dance. The two played two rounds of pool and had about 4 more drinks each by the time they finished playing pool. The second game ended early because they were too buzzed to care if the game was being played properly or not.
"Ok, Namek, now, we dance."
"Ok, Saiyan, but we have to do a shot first." Insisted Piccolo.
"Alrighty then." Laughed Vega as they walked back up to the bar. After waiting in line, they walked away from the bar with 4 shots, 2 of Rupplemintz, and 2 of Tequila, along with the lemons and salt. They both took down both of the shots. After the two shots they had crossed the line of being buzzed into being slightly drunk. "COME ON, LET'S DANCE!" Yelled Vega. The two went out onto the dance floor and danced for the rest of the evening. Only a few slow songs played while they were dancing, but while they did play, Vega and Piccolo danced close to each other. Ever so often, during the faster songs, Vega danced very seductively with Piccolo as he did with her. They danced until they called last call at the bar. Vega and Piccolo decided to go get one more drink before the bar closed.
"Ok, Namek, we have to pound these, but before we do, we have to drink for something." Said Vega.
"Ok, with this beer I drink to the great time we had tonight." Said Piccolo with a smile.
"Ok, with this beer I drink to the great time we had tonight, and I drink to kicking my brothers ass some day." Said Vega.
"Are you still mad about that?" asked Piccolo.
"Not anymore, this made me feel so much better."
"Good, because you're not a tramp." Said Piccolo, "ok, now pound that beer Saiyan." The two pounded their beers. Vega was not as successful as Piccolo, she only got a little more than half of it down, but after a breath, she downed the rest.
"Ok, we should get going. It's going to be a long walk back to campus." Said Vega.
"Well, we could fly." Said Piccolo.
"Um, no, we're walking."
About an hour later, a drunk Piccolo and Vega walked into their dorm building. Piccolo went with Vega up to the 16th floor to make sure she got there safely. When they reached her room she unlocked the door and stood in the doorway.
"I had fun tonight. Thanks for getting me out of this dorm."
"Hey, you had a bad day, I wasn't going to sit around with a pissed off Vegeta all night. Plus, I had fun too."
"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." said Vega. She reached up and put her arms around his neck and gave him a hug, "Thanks for taking me out." She whispered. She looked up at Piccolo as she released her grip on his neck. He looked down at her and smiled as he leaned down and kissed her gently and not to long. When their short, sweet embrace ended, Vega look at Piccolo.
"Oh crap." Smiled Vega as she reached up and kissed him again. They both backed into Vega's dorm and shut and locked the door,
