I've been going over it in my head for awhile, and am confident that it will turn out good. Sorry for any inconvenius, but I was just playing with different storys. I hope you like this one!^_^
By the way, I don't own DBZ. This counts for all of my chapters. Enjoy ^.^!

An agonizing scream penatrated the murky darkness. He stared at the face of a beautiful black-haired goddess about his age, twisted in pain and suffering. She threw her head back in pain and screamed. Her head fell forward and she opened her eyes. Only moments before they had been a beautiful clear blue, but now they were just empty pits of darkness. A lone tear rolled down her cheek. She advanced menacingly.
Gohan yelled in pain and his eyes shot open. He was standing in his bedroom, the air around him cracked with energy. Another wave of pain, his father twisting his arms behind his back and yelling for him to wake up.
Quickly he powered down, a wave of weakness made him fall forward and Goku had to catch him. He layed his son on the bed.
His last words before he fell into darkness were, "Princess Era!"
"Gohan?" Chi-Chi's face slowly swam into veiw. Goku and Goten were standing behind her.
"Uh? Mom, Dad?" a splitting headach made tears fall down his cheeks and land on his pillow.
"Oh Gohan! Thank God!" sighed his mother in relief.
"What happened Gohan?" Goku asked.
"Can I have some asprin first? I'll tell you over breakfast."
After his headach had abated some, and his mother was makeing breakfast, he told them about the dream he had had. And how he woke up in Super Sayian. When his father mentioned Princess Era, Gohan blinked in surprise.
"I don't remember saying that. Do you think that's who it was?"
"Oh Gohan. It was just a dream, it didn't mean anything." Chi-Chi sat the food on the table and helped herself, before the Sayians got to it.
"I don't think so Mom. It was just to real." he fell quiet and sipped his coffee.
"Well, maybe we should ask Vegeta. He's been more places in the Universe than any of us have, maybe he's heard of a Princess Era." Goku suggested as he wolfed down his food.
"Besides," put in Goten, "you need to take me down anyway so I can play with Trunks."
"And Bulma and I were going to have tea. So you can just take me along as well." Chi-Chi said.
So after breakfast the Son family headed for the Breif's residence.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||
That same night Vegeta tossed and turned restlessly in his bed. Enough so that Bulma went and slept in a guest room.
He kept seeing her, over and over. The memory came back, fresh as if it had just happened.
Freiza sent him and Nappa to a planet called Simoray. It was a planet of feirce warriors, called Katars. Little did Freiza know, Vegeta had been there before, and dreaded going back.
On one of their missions he and Nappa had finished with a big planet early. They had been heading back for the ship when an unexpected meteor shower came. An astroid hit Vegeta's ship, and he went crashing to the surface of a nearby planet.
When he came to, a women stood nearby. She walked over and placed a wet cloth on his forehead, not noticeing that he was awake. As she drew away his hand shot up and grabbed her wrist.
He gasped when, quite suddenly, his hand was ripped and bleeding. The women hissed and backed away, her hands in defensive position, claws ready to strike flesh. A black tail lashed the air behind her.
"Ah." he gritted his teeth and held his hand. Her power level was not extraordinarily high, but damn, was she fast.
"Oh! Sorry. You startled me. Let me give you so advice for later," she said wagging a finger at him, "never surprise a Katar." she walked over and started wrapping his hand. She smiled at him kindly, and he relized she was old. How could someone so old be so fast? How fast would the younger ones be? He relized she was talking.
"-to see you. Do you think your well enough?"
"Uh, sorry, what?" Vegeta watched as she shook her head in annoyance.
"I saaid, the Queen wants to see you. Do you think your well enough?"
"Oh, of course." he answered politely. After all he was royalty and had been trained to answer promptly to a royal summoning. Besides, he was at their mercy in the condition he was in.
A little while later Vegeta and the old Katar were walking through a long hallway. Vegeta marveled at the craftmanship. There were carvings, and paintings. The floor was made of marble, and the doors were made of a dark thick wood.
A young child came raceing down the hallway straight toward them. The old women didn't even flinch as he lept over their heads and kept on going, not even slackening his pace.
The old women chuckled, "That young snapper. The Queen's always makeing em' run on errons. Keep em' in shape she says. Well here we are." they turned a corner and entered a huge feild.
Vegeta realized that it was a training feild. A young women, not many years older than himself, she was very pretty to him. She had long black hair tied in a tight braid, she was wearing a tight black leather outfit that showed all her curves. She was forty feet in the air sparing with an older man who's hair was white.
"Yelloo,"yelled the old women, "Brought the stranger to see you! Uh, what's your name again?"
"Prince Vegeta of the Sayians."
"Prince Vegeta!"
The Queen floated to the ground and turned her stern gaze on Vegeta. He made a stiff low bow. But she waved her hand dismissively. "No need for formalitys Prince Vegeta, I am Queen Emral. You crashed into my courtyard yesterday, and Marla here has been takeing care of you. I have called you here to ask you to lunch with us and we can discuss your problem of a new ship."
A little while later they were eating a huge lunch. The Katars ate as much as the Sayian, only not as fast. The Queen offered a small ship to Vegeta, but said that it would be a week before it arrived.
"Oh that's alright. I will not be missed much." Emral seemed surprised at this, but did not question it. So the next week he spared with the Queen. The first few days went by quickly. And each day Vegeta admired her more and more. One day a young girl was sent to fetch him, and told him to go to the Queen's chamber. She led him there after she relized her mistake, and that he did not know the way.
When he got there the girl curtsied, and then jeted off. He turned and knocked on the door. It opened and Emral was standing there.
"Come in, come in Vegeta."
Wondering what she wanted he steped in, and stared in surprise. Her room was not fancy as he had expected. There was just a dark wood dresser, and vanity. And a dark wood canopy bed. The walls were a dark blue, as was the floor.
"Um?" he gulped, "What did you want me for?"
"Vegeta," she said in a silky voice, "I am a Katar. A Katar always knows who their mate is at first sight." she paused and looked at him slyly.
Vegeta backed away into the bed. He was seventeen years old, some Sayians had mates by that age. But given the predicament with Freiza...
"I know that you have had feelings for me. I've seen you stareing at me dureing sparing. Now, you can refuse, I can not force you into anything. This is your choice." she stared into his eyes, and he relized that the strange feelings he had never experienced before, he was in love with her.
He smiled slyly at her and she smiled back. They both loved eachother. They were mates. They made passionate love.
A few days after, Vegeta told Emeral about the situation with Freiza. So she understood that he would not be able to visit very much. The ship came, and he took off, carrying a picture of his beautiful mate.
When he got back to Freiza's ship Nappa gave him a funny look but kept quiet. Vegeta was glad of that, he did not want Freiza to find out about him haveing a mate, she wouldn't live very long, he knew.
So he reported to Freiza, and him and Nappa went to their quarters.
"So Vegeta, who's your mate?" Nappa pointed at the bite mark on Vegeta's neck, the sign that he belonged to someone.
So Vegeta told him about what had happened on Simoray. And swore him to secrecy. It was a whole year before he got back to visit.
When he arrived Emeral was there to greet him. That was when he found out, he had a daughter. Her name was Era, Princess Era, and instead of haveing the normal black tail of a Katar, or the brown tail of a Sayian, her tail was gray.
So everytime he came to visit, he brought something for her. She grew fast an powerful. But when she was four, he dreaded going back, and what he had for her. Somehow Freiza had heard about the lush planet Simoray, and was going to land on the planet, and take it over.
Vegeta looked out the window, he saw Emeral standing there, brave and bold. He breathed a sigh of releif, at least the Queen had left Era in the castle.
The following battle was a blur to Vegeta. He had been busy looking for Emeral and Era. He even looked for Marla. But when he found Emeral, he almost wished he hadn't. She was lieing on the ground, a huge fatal gash across her chest.
"Vegeta-" she gasped out, "Era....the castle. Get her to...an escape pod. Hurry!" her head rolled to the side and Vegeta felt a tingle on the side of his neck, when he put his hand there he felt that the bite mark was gone. He chocked back tears and sprinted for the castle.
When he got there he ran into Marla. She was holding Era, and her silver hair was damp with blood.
"Vegeta! Take her! Quickly! I will not last long!" she thrust the crying girl in his arms and turned arolund to fight in the melee.
Vegeta ran toward the escape pods. There was one left, and he threw Era into the seat, but she clung to him. He remembered what Emeral had said, that all Katars love there parents always. No matter what they do, how they act, or even if they hardly knew them. 'Oh great' he thought, 'now I'll never get her into this thing! She'll never let me go!' so he did the only thing he could think of. He knocked her out, and shoved her into the pod.
Vegeta woke up groggily. 'What's with these dreams anyway? When I almost forget about it all, it comes back!' he angrily put his shirt on and headed for the kitchen. 'She wouldn't have survived anyway. A little four year old, all alone in space. She wouldn't have lasted very long at all, so why am I remembering her? God dammit!'
He sat down with such force that the chair cracked and he had to get up quickly. "Dammit! I never want to hear the name Era again!"
Bulma and Trunks gave him a funny look as he, as calmly as he could, sat down in another chair.
"Does this have anything to do with you tossing and turning last night?" Bulma asked.
Vegeta just growled and started eating. Unfortunatly for him, He would hear the name of his daughter, Princess Era again. In fact, he would here it a lot in the future.
A call from outside interupted Vegeta's brooding time. "Now what does that god damn Kakorat want?" he shouted angrily.
"It maybe Chi-Chi, her and I were going to have tea."
"It's most likely Goten, we were going to play today."
"Well stop thinking about who it is and go see!" Vegeta marched outside.
"What's up with him anyway Mom?" Trunks asked.
"Hell if I know." she walked out the door to greet her guests.
