Standerd Disclaimer:I own none of the characters dipicted in these stories but BJ and JK who is mentioned in passing. JK does exist in my mind and i'll tell you all about her if you ask. The songs mentioned...i don't own them either...i don't even own the computer this is chapter is written on. So i guess if your going to try and sue me you've figured out that i don't own just a whole lot of money.
BJ layed in bed thinking with distaste the night before, hell it seemed had broken loose between her and her father. Actually before she'd gone to bed she'd called him Raditz again. After he'd brought her kicking and screaming back to the house, he in no uncertain terms told her to stay away from Trunks. She did not take that well and threw her trump card that, since he didn't raise her he could not tell her what she could or could not do. She knew she was being a brat, but she didn't care. As she laid in the bed thinking that an apology was probably in order on both their parts she just couldn't bring herself to do it. Thats when she heard the voices, acutally it was more like yelling voices. She grabbed a t-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts and ran down the stairs. When she got to the bottom she was still putting one arm in one sleeve of the shirt. She looked in the kitchen and saw Bulma and ChiChi sitting there with blank looks on their faces each had a steaming cup of coffee in their hand. She looked in the living room and there Vegeta, Raditz, and Goku stood, looking at each other. Raditz's face was bright red and his tail was swishing dangerously side to side. Vegeta had his arms crossed and a very definate scowl set, Goku stood there looking, formidble is the best word she could describe. He looked dangerous yet not dangerous. Finally Vegeta spoke,
"If you'd done your job and taken her to the valley i wouldn't of had to done it."
Raditz growled, "She's MY daughter, i'll decide when she's ready and when she isn't."
Goku piped up, "When are you going to let her actually train. She's very good when you let her actually have reign and she fights."
"JK's pride and joy was her tounament tropheys, she's got JK's blood running through her veins and the blood of the sayien heritage, you can't keep her locked in a cubboard. It doesn't work that way.", Vegeta said with a touch of sarcasm in his voice.
"Vegeta quit trying to raise MY daughter, she's MY daughter, not yours, MINE."Raditz said it coldly.
Vegeta came apart, and yelled, "SHE SHOULD OF BEEN MY DAUGHTER!"
BJ heard a gasp and looked behind her to see Bulma with a eyes that were starting to water, then she heard a thud, BJ looked back into the living room to see Vegeta getting out of the hole in the wall. Vegeta was looking at Bulma with regret in his eyes. She didn't scream she didn't cry she just turned and walked out the door. BJ heard the familiar pop of a capsule being opened and then the engine of a hover car heading out. Raditz went back to glaring at Vegeta,
"She isn't yours, and if i see you trying to treat you as her own again, then i'll kill you, or worse i'll just leave and take her with me."
At this BJ jumped into the conversation, "What authority gives you the right to run my life, or to say your going to take it away. Just because my mother was your mate doesn't make me your daughter. Vegeta found me, and Vegeta took me to the valley where my mother died. Not you, him, it should of been you but it wasn't."
Raditz was staring behind her and she smelled the special scent of Trunks, Raditz was growling. Trunks cleared his throat but didn't speak. Raditz looked at Vegeta who seemed to dare him to speak to his son while he was there. Finally Raditz stormed passed BJ, and Trunks and headed out the door. Goku followed shortly afterward. BJ sat on the couch and folded her arms across her chest. Trunks sat next to her, and wraped his arms around her. Finally Trunks spoke,
"Father you might want to find mother, she was crying pretty hard when i passed her." Vegeta looked surprised but nodded and headed out the door.
BJ stood up, and looked at the door then she looked at Trunks, "I have to do this you know, as much as i hate him right now he's still my father." Trunks nodded, then spoke slowly and quietly,
"Your father is trying to do whats best for you, he loves you he just doesn't know how to show it." BJ nodded and left the house. She took to the sky and headed in the general direction of her fathers ki trail. She wasn't very good at tracking or feeling ki, no matter how hard she'd tried she just had never mastered it. Then she saw him in front of her, he was going as fast as he could but in no direction. She powered up and tried to catch up with him. When she finally did, he wouldn't look at her. They lowered to the ground but didn't speak, the tension was high, finally she spoke,
"I'm sorry i said what i said, i know you hate it that Vegeta found me, and i shouldn't of thrown that at you." Raditz just nodded, she walked hesitantly up to him and gave him an awkward hug, he didn't hug back at first then his body softened and his arms wrapped themselves around her. She smiled, and squeezed him.
They took back off to the sky, when they got to the house, Goku was standing at the door. They walked in with their tails wrapped around each other. Goku grabbed her before she got in the door.
"Listen we need you, We got Vegeta and Bulma to agree to a dinner tonight, and i want you to sing for them." He had on a grin that she couldn't say no to, except her father's hand was on her shoulder, "I don't think it would be wise to send her to Capsule Corp. tonight." Goku pushed off the hand and gave her father a look and then shook his head and looked at her again with excitment dancing in his eyes. How could she refuse. She nodded and he got this huge smile.
BJ figited, and pulled up the dress for the hundredth time, ChiChi had insisted that she wear it, it was long and went past the floor, it was strapless and hugged her bosum tightly, and it was red. ChiChi had said it fitted her attitude and her personality. She felt very uncomforble in it. It showed cleavage that she had never really paid attention to before, her hair was in a tight bun, with ringlets around her eyes. Trunks walked into the room and saw her there in this dress and his mouth just hung open. She didn't say anything, she just blushed, Goten came in with Crystal after him, when he saw her his eyes got big as saucers and he walked over, somehow he'd managed to tame that wild hair of his. He walked over and was at a loss for words, then Crystal came over and pulled him away, with a look of jealousy on her face. Trunks walked up and sat next to her. He put his hand on hers and ran his thumb over her knuckles.
Then Bulma walked in, from one side of the room, she was wearing an old fasion ball gown. Vegeta was pushed in by Goku, he was wearing a surperbly tailored suit. Both of them walked to the center of the room, they had looks of stubborness about them that said, they were there to make friends happy. They stood in the middle of the room, BJ stood up and with Trunks beside her slowly walked to the edge of the dance floor.
"Tale as old as time, True as it can be, Barely even friends again. Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly, Just a little change, Small to say the least. Both a little scared, Neither one prepared, Beauty and the Beast.
Ever just the same, Ever a surprise, Ever as before, Ever just as sure, As the sun will rise. Tale as old as time, Tune as old as song, Bittersweet and strange. Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong, Certain as the sun, Rising in the east. Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast.
Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast."
When BJ was done they were dancing around the floor, BJ smiled and Trunks put his arm around her till he saw Raditz's eyes on them from the other side of the room and he slowly removed his arm. She smiled at her father and wrapped her tail around Trunks.
