Chapter 12

            "So Mr. Manager what's on my hectic schedule today?" Bra asked 17 as she walked out of the studio after finishing some mixes on her next single "Everybody Dance".

            "You have a photo shoot for YM magazine from 2-5, the a CD singing at the Virgin Record Store." 17 read off his planner.

            "You know you're not that bad at this. You actually make a pretty good manger." Bra complimented as they were greet by screaming fans and the media as they exited the studio.

            The Saiyan Princess gladly stopped to sign a few autographs and pose for pictures. Bra was talking to one of her young fans when she felt some familiar kis. She turned to her right and saw her parents and older brother.

            For a second she was speechless. A first for the talkative and opinionated teen. She thought 17 was keeping a lookout for any of the Z fighters. She didn't want to explain her reason for what she did to them or anyone else. It was her decision and none of their business.

            The new super star quickly regained her composer and returned to signing autographs for her fans with a huge smile. Pretending she hadn't seen her family.

            "Bra!" Bulma screamed trying to get her daughters attention, but her cries went ignored. By this time 17 had also seen why Bra had momentarily acted like she seen a ghost.

            "Come on lets go." 17 said grabbing Bra gently by the arm, pulling her away from the crowd of fans and into the waiting limo.

            "We have to get her." Bulma said frantic.

            "Fine." Trunks powered up ready to fly after the limo.

            "No." Vegeta said stopping Trunks.

            "Why are you stopping him? We have to get our daughter!" Bulma fumed.

            "She's not our daughter." Vegeta said solemnly.

            "How can that be?" Bulma demanded confused.

            "Yea. We just saw her. It was Bra." Trunks added.

            "She wasn't our Bra. Not anymore" Vegeta said walking away. Reluctantly Bulma and Trunks followed knowing in time Vegeta would explain everything.

            Bra felt her heart sink as she saw the expression on her fathers face threw the tinted window as the limo drove away. It wasn't anger on Vegeta's face fore she knew that look all too well from all the times he got raging mad and Trunks or Uncle Kakorrot.        

            No, this look was something she had never seen before or thought she'd ever seen on the proud formal prince's face. It was a look of hurt. Hurt he felt because of his little girls betrayal. He knew what she had become and he was completely disappointed in her.

            "I thought you were keeping a look out for any of the Z fighters." Bra snapped at 17 taking out her frustration on him.

            "Well its kinda hard to that when I'm staring at you." 17 smiled slyly.

            "You're not getting out of this by hitting on me." Bra knew 17's way.

            "Fine. It'll never let it happen again." 17 said trying to sound like a good employee but it was full of sarcasm.

            "You don't have to pretend to care." Bra sighed.

            "They'll never come for me again." Bra said emotionless. 17 was surprised by her statement. He knew she was extremely loved by her family so he had no clue why Bra said they weren't going to make an effort to get her back.

            "They know her secret." 17 thought as he watched his client stare sadly out the window. He would have to keep a close eye on her to make sure she didn't jeopardize her fame by wanting to go back home.

5 Months Later…….

            "Finally I'm back home." Bra said to herself as she stood outside the Capsule Corps. After years of recording hit records, touring around the world, and staring in many blockbuster movies the busy celebrity decided it was time to visit her family.

            For once in her life the Saiyan Princess was actually nervous. Even a little scared to see her family's reaction to her return. She did after all betray them in so many ways.

            "I hope they forgive me." Bra wished as she took a deep breath to work up the courage to walk up the door of where she grew up. As she reached for the door a sudden sense of worry washed over her. The second her hand touched the doorknob the house burst into fire.

            "What the hell?!" Bra gasped jumping back startled. She could sense her family inside the burning house, but they weren't trying to escape.

            "Omg. They're trapped." Bra concluded. She kicked down the door and walked into the burning house when something that had never happened before happened. She felt the heat, the fire was actually burning her.

            "No! You can't hurt me!" Bra screamed at the raging flames that were now surrounding her.

            "Ah!" Bra cried out in pain as the fire burned the side of her arm. She tried desperately to control the fire.

            "Be gone! I am the Saiyan Eternal Flame!" Bra ordered to no avail.

            "You're no longer a Saiyan remember. You lost all your Saiyan powers including your immunity and power of fire the second you became an android." 17 voice haunted Bra's mind.

            "NO!" Bra screamed at the top of her lungs as the fire swirled around her turning into ice and trapping her in a frozen flame.

Authors Note- Bra's trapped in a Frozen Flame. Is this the end of the Saiyan Princess?
