PART 2 Goodbye, Girls!
"Are you sure you have to leave so soon?" Mrs. Briefs asked.
"We must go back to Jurai for important matters." Funaho said.
"I'll miss you!" Misaki said.
"Prince Vegeta," Emperor Azusa said. "We'll be back for your final
decision." Vegeta said nothing. Azusa looked towards his daughters.
"Aeka! Sasami! Shall we go?" Aeka turned away.
"Mom, do we have to go back to Jurai?" Sasami asked her mother.
"I'm sorry but you'll have to leave your friends here." Misaki replied.
"Azusa, must we make the girls go so soon?" Funaho asked.
"A deal is a deal. I wouldn't have been a good emperor if I let
promises be broken."
"Father, can't you just leave us with Tenchi for a while?" Aeka asked.
"We will await the decision in Jurai, Aeka."
"Yosho, won't you come with us?" Funaho asked Hatsuhito.
"I'm sorry, mother but Earth is my home." Hatsuhito said. Funaho
nodded.
"Let's go!" Azusa said and a light brought the family into the ship.
"Bye, Sasami!" Gohan yelled.
"Ryo-Ohki!" Ryoko called. Ryo-Ohki jumped into the air and turned
into a ship.
"Time to leave!" Ryoko said.
"Thanks for everything." Tenchi said to the Briefs.
"Come back anytime." Dr. Briefs said. "We'd like some guests now
and then."
"We'll come soon enough." Tenchi said.
"We'll miss you so much!" Mihoshi said.
"It's been great meeting you, Miss Washu!" Dr. Briefs said. "I
certainly learned a lot from you."
"Call me LITTLE Washu!" Washu corrected.
"Yes, LITTLE Washu." Dr. Briefs said.
"See ya, kids!" Ryoko said.
"Sure thing!" Gohan said.
Everyone bowed and Ryo-Ohki took them in.
"Meow!!!" Ryo-Ohki said. The Briefs and everyone else waited until
the ships were out of sight.
"So life is back to normal..." Bulma sighed.
"I didn't even get to go out with her..." Yamacha sobbed.
"Good riddance." Vegeta said.
Life was really back to normal. The biggest thing that went back
to its old self was Vegeta and his training. He trained day and night
and the only time he came out was when he finished a level and he
wanted Dr. Briefs to upgrade the training capsule. Bulma was worried.
Before, he just sat there and did nothing and now, training was the
only thing on his mind. Trunks and Bra were also worried about their
father.
[I most train...] Vegeta thought. He got stronger the more he thought
of Aeka. [She defeated me...]
For weeks, it was like that. Vegeta's only aim was to train. The
one day...
"Dad! They're back!" Bulma shouted. Everybody rushed out to look.
Bulma was right. The Imperial family of Jurai was coming back. The
light flashed and the Queens and the Princesses appeared. The Emperor
wasn't there. Dr. Briefs closely examined the ship. It was much more
different and smaller than the ship they came in the last time.
The Queens and the Princesses bowed.
"It's good to see you again." Funaho said.
"I missed you all so much!" Misaki said as she ran to hug Yamacha.
"And little Aeka missed YOU so much!"
"Really?" Yamacha managed to say from Misaki's tight hug.
"MOTHER!" Aeka said.
"Mom..." Sasami said.
"Don't worry, Aeka, I'll tell him the truth." Funaho reassured. Aeka
was blushing furiously.
"So," said Dr. Briefs. "How was your trip?"
"Fine." Funaho replied. "I'm sorry the Emperor could not come. He
needed to take care of some things in Jurai."
"Tha's alright." Dr. Briefs said. "Would you like to come in for
a break?"
"I'm so glad you're back!" Mrs. Briefs said.
"Me too!" Misaki said.
"I even bought some tea leaves to make some real tea!"
"And it's wonderful." Funaho said. Everyone was at the table having
a snack. Goku, Gohan, Chichi and Goten were also there. Sasami and
Gohan were talking to each other.
Everyone was there even Vegeta. Everyone seemed to enjoy theirselves
except for Aeka and Vegeta. None of them touched their food.
"Oh, Tenchi..." Aeka whispered.
[I have no idea why I agreed to this.] Vegeta thought to himself.
His arms were crossed and he had an annoyed look on his face. Aeka's
hands were on lap. She only stared at her food. Then she looked at
Vegeta across the table. She realized that he was having as much fun
as she was. Then she grabbed some chopsticks and started eating
the ramen. She placed the bowl back on the table after she finished
the noodles and then began sipping her tea. Vegeta still hadn't touched
a thing. Aeka sat there sipping her tea quietly and looking at
Vegeta. Vegeta had his face turned away the whole time. Then he looked
across the table and saw Aeka looking away as he saw her. He
examined her closely. After all, she was to be his future wife and
he should see if she was worthy to be his wife. He saw that Aeka
had a different tone of skin. Her cheeks were quite red. And her
eyes kept on looking to Vegeta's side and looking away. What was
happening to her?
"So, Prince Vegeta," Funaho said. "Have you made a final decision?"
"I'm not sure." Vegeta said.
"Emperor Azusa wants your answer. This is very important."
"Your Emperor gave me many good reasons to marry but I'm not sure
I can marry her."
"You agreed to fight, didn't you?"
"I did it only for the challenge."
"Will you still consider the offer?"
"I might."
"Very well." Funaho stood up and called Misaki in then she left.
"You see here," Misaki said. "You'd better marry my little Aeka
or else I'll give her to someone else!" Funaho, Azaka and Kamidake
were listening at the door.
"I don't think this discussion will go very well." Funaho sighed.
"I agree, Empress Funaho." Kamidake said.
"Very well said, your highness." Azaka said.
Moments later, Misaki was out and it was time for Aeka and Vegeta
to talk about a possible marriage.
"Get him, Aeka!" Misaki cheered, pushing Aeka into the room and
then shuting it. Vegeta was waiting on a chair. Aeka sat on the chair
across him. There was a long pause with lots of staring.
"Go on with it, woman!" Vegeta finally said. "You're wasting my
precious time for training talking about a stupid wedding!" Aeka
glared at him.
"I told you not to address me like that!" she said.
"Just get on with it!" said Vegeta.
"Alright!" Aeka said. "Well...I want you to know that I never planned
for this. You...you just came into my life."
"And who told me that I wanted to marry you?" Vegeta said. "You
also walked into my life, expecting me to wed you."
"I don't want to marry you!"
"Neither do I!"
"Then why did you have to go and hurt Tenchi?!" Vegeta just turned
away.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" Aeka asked.
"I didn't know that if I would win, I would have to marry you." Aeka
looked at him in a confused look.
"Your father told me that I could fight. He just asked me if I
would marry you. I only wanted to fight."
"I thought you knew..."
"Well, I didn't!" There was another long pause.
"What is your answer?"
Aeka came out annoyed. She ran quickly outside.
[I've never been so insulted in my life!] she thought. [The nerve
of that brat! Just because he's so imprtant, doesn't mean he should
be so rude!] Aeka sat down under a tree.
"Hello, Aeka!" Sasami said, hanging upside down from the tree.
"Oh, Sasami!" said Aeka. "You startled me. You should get down from
that tree or someone might see under your dress!" Sasami pushed her
dress up.
"That's OK, Aeka." Sasami said. "I don't mind."
"But I do. Get down here, Sasami." Aeka commanded. Sasami straightened
her legs and fell on the ground.
"Sasami! Are you alright?!" Aeka asked.
"I'm fine, Aeka." said Sasami with a giggle. "Aeka, I thought you
were talking to the prince."
"I was..." Aeka mumbled.
"What was that?" Sasami asked.
"Oh, nothing! Nothing! We finished early." Aeka said.
"Are you mad, Aeka?" Sasami asked.
"I am. But I'm not mad at you." Aeka said. "I'm mad at that saiyajin
brat!" she said under her breath.
"What shall we do with him?" Funaho asked Azusa on the ship's screen.
"Take him to Jurai and make him marry Aeka. He won!"
"But he told me that you never told him that if he won, he would
have to marry Aeka."
"I guess you're right."
"Maybe we should let Aeka and Vegeta stay with each other and we'll
let fate handle this situation."
"What if nothing good happens? Vegeta IS very stubborn."
"Don't you dare say that my little Aeka can't win his heart!" Misaki
yelled. "She can get any boy she wants or doesn't want!"
"We'll see." Azusa said.
Everyone was sitting down to dinner. Aeka was eating slowly. Vegeta
decided not to eat at all and was training. Sasami made the meal
and everyone wanted seconds, except for Aeka. Then suddenly, a
door appeared right in the middle of the meal. Then Washu, Ryoko,
Tenchi, Ryo-Ohki, Kiyone and Mihoshi came out.
[TENCHI!] Aeka stared at Tenchi as Funaho stood up.
"Lady Washu," Funaho said with a bow.
"Queen Funaho," Washu said.
"Welcome back, Little Washu." Dr. Briefs said.
A few moments later...
"Thank you for letting us have this space, Dr. Briefs." Funaho said.
"It's no problem at all." Dr. Briefs said.
"Done!" Washu said. Funaho looked inside.
"Wow! It's wonderful, Little Washu!" Funaho said. Misaki peeked in.
"How BEE-OHH-TEE-FUL!" Misaki said.
"How did you fit all that in one small shed?" Dr. Briefs asked.
"Well, I changed its dimension..." Washu and Dr. Briefs went away
and talked about science.
"Must we live here?" Aeka asked.
"You don't like it, Aeka?" Misaki asked.
"I love it but why do we have to live here?"
"It's for a good cause." said Funaho. Funaho took a deep breath and
turned to Aeka.
"Well, princess, we must go back to Jurai."
"Aren't you staying here wih us?"
"We have things to take care at home."
"Alright..."
"I'll miss you so much Sasami and Aeka!" Misaki said.
"Please see us soon, mother!" Sasami said. Misaki gave Aeka and
Sasami a huge hug and she and Funaho went towards the ship.
"RYO-OHKI!!!" Misaki shouted.
"Take care of the girls, Yosho!" Funaho said.
"I will, mother!" Hatsuhito replied. Then the Queens went into
the ship and disappeared into outer space.
"Well, Sasmi, I guess this will be our new home." Aeka said.
"It's just like Jurai!" exclaimed Sasami.
"You're right."
"So this is what your planet looks like, huh Sasami?" Gohan asked.
"It's exactly like home!" Sasami said.
"It sure has a lot of trees." Kurillin said.
"Trees are the life force of Jurai." Aeka explained. "Trees in Jurai
all have a mind of their own. They are also our ships."
"That's really interesting." Gohan said.
"Well, Aeka," Tenchi said. "I guess we should leave now."
"I'm afraid we can't do that now, Tenchi." Washu said. "Since this
is a new dimension, it takes some power from other dimensions. I
don't think we can get back home using the door. It'll have to
recharge for the night."
"You can stay with us, Tenchi!" said Aeka.
"Really, Aeka? Thanks a lot!"
Aeka was outside, looking at the stars. Then Hatsuhito came out. He
saw Aeka looking at the stars. Hatsuhito looked at the sky.
"What are you looking at, Aeka?" he asked. Aeka turned to him.
"Those stars seem to form two figures." she said. Hatsuhito
examined the sky.
"Purinsesu no Senshi." he said.
"What?" Aeka asked.
"There was a legend about a princess who fell in love with a strong
soldier." Hatsuhito said. "He was also a prince so their kingdoms
urged them to wed. The princess tried so hard to get the prince to
fall in love with her but alas, the prince was too stubborn to fall
in love so the princess' heart broke after many failures and she died.
When she died, that was when the prince realized he was meant to be
with the princess all along but he let his pride get in the way and
before long, it was too late. He died of a broken right beside the
princess and the goddess of the stars felt so sorry that they could
not live their love before their time ended so she let them live it
in the stars."
"What a beautiful story." Aeka said.
"That is why it is called the 'Purinsesu no Senshi'. It means
'Princess of the Soldier.'" Hatsuhito said. "Well, Aeka, you'd better
go to bed now." Aeka nodded and went inside.
"Very good story, Yosho." a voice said.
"Good evening, Washu." Hatsuhito said.
"You made that up so Aeka would marry Vegeta, didn't you?" Washu
said.
"You caught me." Hatsuhito confessed. "Even though Tenchi is her
more official fiance', I think Aeka should marry someone she truly
loves. I think everyone should."
"You're right." Washu said. "It seems that Aeka's given up on Tenchi
and moved on to Vegeta." Washu turned to the Briefs' house. "But
what about Bulma Briefs and the child they had together? What would
become of them?"
"We'll just wait and see." Hatsuhito said.
"Are you sure you have to leave so soon?" Mrs. Briefs asked.
"We must go back to Jurai for important matters." Funaho said.
"I'll miss you!" Misaki said.
"Prince Vegeta," Emperor Azusa said. "We'll be back for your final

"Aeka! Sasami! Shall we go?" Aeka turned away.
"Mom, do we have to go back to Jurai?" Sasami asked her mother.

"A deal is a deal. I wouldn't have been a good emperor if I let
