Disclaimer- I don't own DBZ, I know my disclaimer is boring.
A/N- I'm so sorry people that it took me so long to update. I really did try to update sooner but I had camp, then I had to get ready for my freshman year in college so I've been extremely busy. But next Chapter will be out sooner.

On with the fic

"What!" Bulma yelled standing up in shock. "No this has to be some kind of joke like ha.ha." She pleaded with her parents.
"Bulma dear, why would we joke about something like that." Mrs. Briefs asked. It was then that Bulma noticed the seriousness in her parents and she slowly sank back down the couch putting her head in her hands.
After a few awkward moments Bulma finally looked up from her hands. Dr. Briefs could see her tears lining the brim of her eyes and he could see the silent asking of an explanation. "When you're mother and I were still living on earth we tried to conceive a child, even when we got to Vegeta-sei we tried. It was when the Ox kings' wife got pregnant that we gave up hope of ever conceiving a child. Late at night eight months later you're mother and I heard a knock at the door, when we answered it there was no one in sight but they the left a some kind of bundle wrapped in a blanket. You're mother picked it up and uncovered a baby with blue hair sleeping soundly." As Dr. Briefs explained, he could see all sorts of emotions pass through his daughters' eyes.
"The day we celebrate your birthday is the day we found you." Mrs. Briefs said catching the attention of both her daughter and husband.
"So tomorrow will mark the seventeen year that you've had me, then that would mean that today is my real birthday and I just came of age." Bulma asked with more questions flooding her mind.
"Yep." Mrs. Briefs giggled, and Dr. Briefs nodded. Bulma couldn't tell if she was angry or hurt or both.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS BEFORE!" She lashed out in anger and hurt.
"Let me finish." Dr. Briefs pleaded trying to call her down. "We brought you in the house and found a note and it said 'please raise as human.' When your mother took you out of the blanket, I didn't see tail or a tail spot. I couldn't figure out why would anyone give a human baby to a human family asking to raise as 'human' so I took a DNA sample and it showed you were Saiyan. So you see by not telling you was the least we could do for the people who gave us such a precious gift." Dr. Briefs finished.
There was so many questions running through Bulma's mind that she didn't know where to start. The tears that were treating to come down finally fell.
"No matter what you're still our daughter." Mrs. Briefs said reassuringly moving to the couch where Bulma was sitting and trying to comfort her only to be pushed back.
"If I'm Saiyan then why don't I have the strength of one?" Bulma asked calming down enough to talk.
"The tail is the source of a Saiyans' power and since you were born without one and never trained you had the normal ki of a human."
"Then how come I'm as smart as you?" She asked as soon as another question came to mind.
"Well as you know Saiyan's are very adaptable, they can adapt to just about in every environment. When you were little you would come into my lab just about everyday and play, so after a couple of years of just playing your brain started to adjust and expand and you started to build things." He explained the best he could. (Authors way of trying to explain ^_^;;)
Bulma paused for a moment thinking of another question. "What about the Saiyan appetite and sensitive hearing?"
"A couple of weeks after we took you in I gave you a shot that made you hungry less and eat less, and I also put tiny earplugs in your ears to dull sound."
"So my whole life has been a lie." She stated more then asked as tears began to fall once again.
"Of course not dear, where would the lie be. Your still our daughter and were still your parent's. Does it matter how you became our daughter." Mrs. Briefs said bringing Bulma into hug, surprising her husband that she was able to say something wise for once.
After a few awkward moments Bulma squirmed her way out of her mothers hold. "I need to alone for a while." She said getting up and walking up the stairs.
"Alright dear." Mrs. Briefs smiled back to her old ditzy shelf. "Let us know if you need anything." Dr. Briefs called, Bulma just nodded.
"This has to be a dream. I going to go back to bed and then I'll wake up." Bulma said to herself climbing back into her bed and closing her eyes. She tried for several minutes to go back to sleep, it was then that she realized that it was reality. She just laid in bed lost in her thoughts.
~ * ~ Later that day at school ~ * ~
"Hey Chi-chi." Mark greeted walking up to her
"Oh hi mark." She greeted back.
"Where's Bulma?" he asked looking around the lunchroom for any signs.
"She's not here."
"Well ok then, bye." He waved goodbye and walked out, Chi-chi was kind of surprised that the conversation had ended so quickly. She finished getting her lunch and found an empty table to sit at.
"Is it ok if I sit here." Some one asked.
"Of course you can Kakarott." Chi-chi responded trying to hide the blush.
"So where is your blue hair friend?" Kakarott asked breaking the silence.
"She didn't come to school today."
"Oh is she sick?" Kakkarott asked stuffing more food into his mouth.
"That's the thing I don't get, she's never sick." Chichi responded trying to think of different reasons why Bulma didn't show up.
"So why aren't you with the prince?" She asked after a few minutes.
"He's around here somewhere." He answered looking around the room.
"Why is he here anyway, isn't he supposed to have some tutor?"
"Um…he killed him, and the king just sent him here." Kakarott scratched the back of his head.
"Navessa thinks he's here to find a mate." Chi-chi laughed at the girls' stupidity
"Well I guess finding a mate would be a plus, but Vegeta doesn't seem to like any of the girls here." Kakarott shrugged.
"He doesn't seem to like anyone." Chi-chi corrected. "So how do like going to a school where your dad works." She asked changing the subject.
"Its ok I guess, my brother Radtiz liked it at first and became real arrogant and got his ass kicked." Kakarott laughed causing Chi-chi to laugh also.
The Bell soon rang for everyone to go back to class.
~ * ~ Later That Day
Chi-chi had finished her homework and was walking to the Briefs house to see how Bulma was. She walked up the porch and rang the doorbell.
"Hello Chi-chi dear, come on it." Mrs. Briefs greeted answering the door.
"Hi Mrs. Briefs, is Bulma ok." Chi-chi asked walking through the door.
"Of course she is, she's up in her room now." Chi-chi nodded then walked up the stairs to Bulma's room and knocked lightly, she opened the door upon hearing the muffled sound of entrance.
Chi-chi walked in and was surprised to see Bulma sitting the floor with her back towards the door between to piles of shorts, skirts, pants ect.
"Bulma what are you doing?" Chi-chi gasped once she realized that Bulma was cutting holes into her clothing. "Why are you cutting holes?"
"This is why." Bulma started swaying her tail in the air.
"Gasp….Bulma you have a t-tail." Chi-chi gasped eye's wide and mouth agape.
"No shit." Bulma snapped back trying to cover up the hurt from her friends' disapproval tone.
"No I didn't mean it like that B, I'm just shocked." Chi apologized.
"Its alright. I think I took the news of me having a tail better then you did." Bulma said humoring her friend.
"Sorry." Chi-chi turned a slight shade of pink. " I hope you don't mind me asking, Why do you have a tail?" Bulma sighed absently looking at her tail sway back and forth like a cat, trying to find a way to tell her friend.
"I'm adopted." She blurted out. This time Chi-chi made sure to keep her calm.
"You're adopted, why didn't tell me this before?" She asked.
"I just found out myself today." Bulma argued back.
"Your parents didn't tell you?" Chi-chi asked shocked.
"No, when they found me on the door step they also found a note asking to raise me as a human. I was so mad that they didn't tell me before. Bulma explained.
"Do you still feel like their daughter?" Chi-chi asked.
"Um…yeah." Bulma sighed getting the point that Chi-chi was making.
"See, your still their daughter, they love you that's all that matters." Chi-chi said making Bulma feeling better about the whole situation.
"So you're Saiyan." Chi-chi stated more then asked breaking an awkward silence that fell upon them. "Now that I think about it, you've always had the personality of one. I mean you are stubborn like one and have a little to much pride, and don't for get the temper." She pointed out the not so good traits of a Saiyan.
"That's enough Chi-chi." Bulma said through clenched teeth and clenched fists.
"Oh sorry." Chi-chi said once she noticed her friend. "Well B, I better get home so I can get ready for school tomorrow."
"Oh Shit I didn't even think of school, what are the kids at school are going to say? How do you think mark will having a Saiyan girlfriend." Bulma freaked.
"I really don't think they are going to think much about it, come Bulma you're still the same person…. just a Saiyan." this statement calmed Bulma a bit.
"Your right Chi, they shouldn't care." Bulma said hopeful. She walked her friend to the front door then waved goodbye for the night.

Sorry this chapter wasn't too exciting, but I wanted to explain some things about why Bulma didn't know she was Saiyan and I also wanted to get Chi-chi's reaction in too.
Like I said earlier next chapter will be up sooner and we'll get to see how Vegeta will react when he finds out. Will it be good or bad?
