Disclamer: No, I don't own DBZ (and I'm not so happy about it... :-( )

Authors note: 'K, here's chapter 3 (the last one in Rome), but don't worry, this one will be a little bit longer than the last one (cause mom's not home ;))))).

Thanx to everyone who revieved!!! And very BIG thanx to DragonUK, for his letter!

And one more thing. In Poland, we have a spice called Vegeta (it's usually used to the soup) and don't take it serious, when I call Vegeta „spice- boy". ^_^

Oh, and a few translations

Jupiter – main Roman god. The one responsible for ligtenings

Wulkan – Roman god of blacksmiths (mainly)

Chapter 3

(still) 65 A.D

- Hallo – Bulma said. Ligia jumped up from her chair

- Yes, what can I do for you? – she asked in scared voice.

- It's what can I do for you. I was asked to talk to you about few things.

- Yes?

- Hmmm... I don't know how to start...

- You could just tell me straight what you want, ma'm.

- This woman... Kadina, yes? She told me you're in love with a Roman solider.

Suddenly, the gird bursted in tears. She sat back down on the chair and started to sob histerically.

- Hay, what happened? What's wrong?

- I... I.. shouldn't... I can't...

- Oh, stop that. Love is not a crime... It doesn't matter if he's Roman, or Greek, or Arabian... You love him and THAT'S what matters.

- But...

- No „but"! Do you love him, trully?

- Y... yes

- So you shouldn't mind about who he is.

- But I can't be wiht him! He's a Roman! And a solidger! He's ambitious, cruel, blinded with his needs... And I think he doesn't love me, so...

„Oh, so what we have here is Vegeta – type acting... It will be hard to get them together..."

Bulma tapped her on a shoulder meaning to comfort her.

- You can't hide your feelings...

- Oh, not that crap again! – the girl shouted suddenly – I don't want to hear that!!!

- Now you listen to me, girl! – Bulma yelled „God, I'm starting to act like Veggie! But I must speak to her mind, before she does something stupid..." – I don't care what you think! Or maybe I do, but you must decide you love, or you don't. Now tell me. You want him!?!?

Ligia was shocked. Was this woman moral? „How can she ask me about THAT? True, she has a point, but I'm christian and I can't afford falling in love with such a ruthless man! Maybe I could change him? Nah, I can't think like that. I let him stay in my house and I took care of him, but it means nothing...! Or... I think she's right... What did I do to seservr such a fate? Grr... I'll go insane..." and she started to sob.

Bulma eyed her critically „Disgrace to depression" she thought.

- Well, did you make up your mind? Or do I have to speak with HIM?

- No, please don't! I'll... I'll... I don't know what I will do! I don't know what an i supposed to do!

- Do what you want. That may sound stupid but... I know a man... Oh, maybe not a man but... nevermind. The point is, that he's similar to your Markus. Winicjus may be not AS cruel, ruthless, annoying, idiotic, self-concerned, stupid, arrogant and crock–less bastard, but I'm sure you'll know how to deal with him.

Ligia stared at her speachless. What words did she use? Is she really a woman? How can she speak so freely about her man?

- Is that man of whom you spoke, your husband?

-NOOOOOO! – Bulma shouted. She did't even dare to think of Vegeta as her husband. That WASN'T possible. She chulked at the thought of Vegeta proposing to her. With ring and flowers and everything...

- So why do you travel with him?

- It was an accident.

- Oh I see – and she winked. Bulma blushed and „hmphed".

- Let's go to the kitchen now. – and she walked out of the room.

In the bigger room by the kitchen Vegeta was eating his third meal.

- Hay spice boy.- Bulma called him

- Oh, and that's new! Where did you get that one? – he said reffering to his new nickname.

- Take off your translator. – she ordered. He took it off. „Wow! He obeyed" she thought.

- Now what? – he asked

- You shithead! Why are you eating all this food?!?! Do you think they as rich as me? Don't you do that again!!!

- They owe me.

- They owe you few steps down the street and a few nice words.

- So that's much.

- Maybe to you asshole, but you can't do that! If i see you eating all their food, I'll...

- You'll what? – he grinned evilly

- I'll... I'll do... something.

- OK., Woman we'll see. – he grunted and walked away.

Few hours later...

Vegeta was standing on the roof, thinking. „That Woman, Bulma." He thought. He was saying her name many times, but only in mind. He would never admit it, but he loved the way it sounded. „She's driving me crazy. That loud- mouthed, stupid... no, she isn't stupid. That's for sure. I've been thinking about her since... Since I've met her! Amusing creature, really."

Suddenly he heard a small whisper

- Vegeta, are you there?

- Yes.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Yes.

- You're strangely nice tonight!

- Don't ruin it.

- Very well. Can you... talk to Markus?

- WHAT? Woman, do you realize what do you want?

- Umm... Well, yes?

- NO. I... I can't talk about feelings, you should know that.

- Yes, but you could try...

- Woman, I was in good mood today...

- So it should be easy for you. OR maybe the Sayian no Oui is afraid?

- WOMAN...! – rage was boiling in Vegeta, but he kept reapeting it to himself, that he needed her to fix the time machine. And... He snapped the thought that came to his mind. – Good. I'll do it. BUT only once.

- Yes, yes. Now go.

He sighned and jumped off the roof.

- Ekhem.

Vegeta looked at Bulma standing on the roof

- What?

- Would you mind taking me off the roof?

- You've got here on your own, you'll get off on your own.

- Vegeta, please...

He „hmpfed" and flew up. She circled her arms around him and looked into his eyes. And then something happen that she would never belive, it she did't see it. „He blushed!" she thought and also blushed. „Oh, great." He flew up again, but suddenly stoped in the mid-air.

- Woman. – he whispered.

- Yes...?

He looked away and landed on the street.

- Don't imagine yourself anything. I was just trying to tell you that you... should go to bed, it's late. – The Sayian said and took off.

- VEGETA!

- WHAT?

- YOU PROMISED!

- LATER WOMAN!

- Oh.

Later that night thoughts of Vegeta haunted Bulma. „God damn him! This time he got too far! But with what? I can't blame him for... Oh, but the way he looked at me! Yamcha never did that! His eyes... NO! DON'T, BULMA DON'T!" and it continiued all night. /AN: Poor Bulma/

Meanwhile Vegeta was sitting in Markus room waiting for him to wake up. After his night trip he decided to talk to this man and tell him a thing or two.

- Who are you? – he heard a weak voice

- That doesn't matter. – he realized that Winicjus was awake.

- What are you doing here?

- I was asked to talk to you.

- About...?

- About this girl...

- Ligia? Is she allright? Does she...

- Yes, she loves you. – Vegeta cut his triade.

- A... What?! How can you know?

- Becouse my m... companion spoke to her and she told her. – he nearly said „mate". God, that Woman...

- And?

- She said she loves you. That's all! What else do you need?

- N... nothing. May all gods bless you for such good news that you bring!

- It would be better for you if you wouldn't mention your gods while you are with her...

- I must say that I like Christ better than our Jupiter or Wulkan... Something about those people.. They are so different...

- Well... I leave that to you. – Vegeta said and walked out to his room, which he unfortunatley shared with the Woman. He looked at her sleeping shape. Her blue hair on the pillow, her whole body under the covers. „Pity" he thought and continued to stare.

- Vegeta...- she muttered. „Shit, she's awake"

- What? – he said softly

- What are you doing?

- Nothing Woman, get to sleep.

- Did you talk to him?

- Yes.

- And?

- I told him what you told me and he was unusually happy. Really, he thinks to much of this woman! This is stupid.

- If you were in love, you wouldn't think of your chosen one?

- I will not fall in love Woman. This is impossible, so I don't think of that kind of things.

- Oh, Veggie! – she laughed. Suddenly they heard a noise on the corridor.

- Let's see what it is. – Vegeta said and poked his head outside. – Someone is in that guys room. C'mon.

He walked out and tiptoed to the door.

- Come on. – he waved his hand

- Oh, 'K.- she said and went beside him. They heard Ligia's voice.

- And I do, really, and I wanted to say to you that...

- We shouldn't Vegeta. Sneaking aroung like kids! – Bulma hissed.

- Woman, you want to know something or not?

- I want ot, but...

Suddenly the door opened and she and Vegeta were on the floor.

- Oh. – Ligia said

- What are you... doing?

- Erm...

- Nothing important. Come woman. – The Sayian prince growled and pushed Bulma outside.

They went to their room and each other fell asleap on their BEDS /AN: plural, do I make myself clear?/.

The next day Bulma had important news for Vegeta.

- Hay, Vegetable! Guess what?

- What? – he grunted

- I've fixed it! – she whispered triumpally

- So?

- What? You don't want to leave?

- I do.

- So come with me!

- And what about them? – he pionted at Ligia and Markus

- They're gonna be allright! C'mon. Oh! And you're concerned?

- No! I'm just curious. That's all.

- Oh, OK. Now, we're going. – she pulled him to the tree and pushed the button on her time machine.

OK. That's all! The end of the 3rd chapter! How did you like it? It took me quite long to write it, so...

Oh, expect the next chap in a week. (if anyone is expecting it)
