~The Him And Her Situation~
Chapter 31 -- Going Home
The last bell went off and many students started to file out of the school. It was a warm fall day and the sun shone brightly down upon them all. Goku took off his jacket and draped it over his arm. Chichi who was standing right next to him looked upward and wiped a drop of sweat rolling down her face.
"Warm today huh?" Chichi smiled at Goku.
"Yea it is." Goku smile back and leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
Chichi blushed slightly at the very openly shown kiss to her. Goku was one who usually shy at doing such things in front of others. The two of them just looked at each other for a moment and smiled. Goku wrapped a arm around Chichi's waist and they walked off down the sidewalk.
Chichi wasn't too sure on what to say so she didn't say anything at all as they walked. "Chichi they'll be back soon." Goku spoke up as they walked pasted a park.
Chichi stopped and looked up at him. "What makes you say that Goku?"
Goku gave his famous son grin and rubbed the back of his head. "I don't know I just got a feeling they'll be back soon. Maybe I'm psychic or something, heh heh heh."
Chichi gave a funny smile. "Yea well there due back anyway. I wonder where they are." Chichi looked up at the sky once more hoping that her two friends where safe and sound.
"Hey let's go home and you can make me some of that yummy dim sum of yours." Goku chuckled and his mouth started to water at the though of dim sum.
Chichi laughed and smacked him in the arm. "Ok ok We'll go home and I'll make you dim sum and some miso soup." Goku quickly nodded and grabbed Chichi's hand. She smiled warmly at him as Goku tried to hurry her along down the sidewalk.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Back in the beach house two bodies laid close together. Their breathing was slow and deep as sleep held on to them. The two of them did not dream nor move for a day but as time passed things started to awaken inside them.
A voice spoke in a low voice. It was too low for Vegeta to hear learly what was being said. He felt so tried and really didn't care as he kept his eyes shut. It kept talking till he slowly opened one eye groggly. The other eye soon followed just as slowly. His eyes looked around at a world that was a brite white color in all directions. No shapes, no color, just a voice saying something.
"what?" he asked it.
Soon as he spoke the voice stopped talking. Vegeta blinked and looked down at himself. It felt strange because it was like moving in a slow motion almost. He was floating in mid air with no clothes on at all. His own body seemed to glow a white hue and was outlined in a light blue. He looked down at his hand in be foundment.
With a blinding flash of light everything grew brighter and blinded him. He used his arm to shade his eyes from the sudden light. As he lowered his arm and opened his eyes he saw he was now in a world of color. It was so bright and warm looking and he could feel the warmth of it all inside him, down to the core.
A warm sun shone above and wamred his body. He closed his eyes and soaked it in as a smile for no reason came upon his face. He took a deep breath in then turned his gaze back at himself. He was now in clothes. A outfit he remebered wearing as a child. With a closer look he saw his hands looked child like. He touched his face and felt a slight layer of fat that childern have.
He gasped and saw a stream up ahead. He ran to it through some grass till he came to the waters egde. Indeed to his surprise he was back to the age of 7. He blinked at his reflection till he heard a girl's giggle ahead of him. His face shot up as he looked at a little girl who sat at the waters edge across the stream.
"where...? Where did you come from?" he asked her.
The girl only smiled at him. She stood up and looked at him with a smile. "What do you think stupid?" she said boldly. After flashing him a grin she started to laugh slightly.
Vegeta stared at her for her rude comment. There was no question to it that the girl in front of him was Bulma. She boldly stood, looking at him in her light peach sun dress and pink sandals, her brown tail swung behind her. "Bulma..." he grumbbled.
She smiled more as she stopped her laughing. "Your a cute one there Veggie boy." She winked.
Vegeta blushed slightly in the cheeks then smirked. "And so are you." he said with a slight chuckle.
"I know..." Bulma said as if it was that clear to all. "Anyway what now? We look like little kids. God all this Saiyan stuff is werid but fun in a way." She spoke as she held her hands behind her head and looked all around.
"Well don't expect anything from me. Saiyans don't talk about what goes on in the full bonding time. So who knows, what ever happens, happens I guess." Vegeta sounded a little down for being clueless in the last important step of it all.
"Oh well." She spoke as she dropped her hands down to her sides. She frowned slightly at being on different sides. She saw a few rocks and hopped from one to the other till she was on Vegeta side.
When she hopped for the last time her gaze went to the ground for a moment. When she looked back up Vegeta looked around the age of 13 now. She gasped slightly in shock. Vegeta turned his face to her and his eyes widden as a older Bulma stood in front of him.
Bulma looked down at her self and saw she was in the adtire she wore at that age. "Wooa, werid." she spoke outloud.
Vegeta nodded as he looked her over them himself quickly. He was the same way as he saw himself in Saiyan training armor. "Oh well." he shrugged. "I'm not going to even ask."
Bulma shrugged as well as she looked at Vegeta. He held out his hand to her and smirked slightly. "Shall we got take a look around?" Bulma smiled and placed her hand in his. He held her hand gently as they walked off into the grass.
It looked like a normal meadow with some hilled surounding it. There wasn't too many trees around, just mostly grass and hills. Vegeta felt a little uneasy in this place. He had no clue as to what was suppose to happen. A swift breeze blew by causeing Vegeta to shut his eyes for a momment. When he opened them back up he took a glance at Bulma to see if she was ok.
To his surprise they were back to their normal age. He shook his head as nothing made sence. Bulma brushed it off just as fast. The two kept walking in no real direction. There was nothing to really see so far. Then they came to three huge trees after a while. On each of the giant trunks there was a single door of some kind.
"I... I wonder what it means..." spoke Bulma as she was a tad worried now. She held on to Vegeta's arm as he looked them over.
"Past, Present, and Future... " He read outloud.
"what?" blinked Bulma.
Vegeta pointed as he read agian. First to the door on the left. "Past" he read a sign just above it. "Present" he spoke as he move to the middle. "Future." he lastly said pointing to the tree on the right.
Bulma looked back and forth and grew even more worried. "What do you think we should do?"
Vegeta frowned slightly then smirked and looked at Bulma. "How about pick a door?"
Bulma frowned a bit. "I don't know.
"Heh" he huffed. "Fine then I will. Let's see what's to come." he smirked as he walked over to the door with the word "Future" above it.
"I...I don't like this Vegeta. Let's just go." Bulma said frighten now for what may lie ahead.
Vegeta stopped and looked back at her. He gave a lop sided frown and went to her side. "Hey it's ok. Do you really think I'll let anything bad happen to you?" he spoke in a calm voice.
Bulma looked up into his eye and shook her head no. Vegeta smiled and wrapped a arm around her waist. "Then come on. It should be intresting if anything."
"Fine" she huffed as he pulled her to the door.
Vegeta grabbed the wooden nob and opened it. The door swung inwward to darkness. Vegeta looked around and saw nothing. He frowned and looked at Bulma. Just when he was about to speak and large sucktion came and the two by surprise were pulled in as the door slamed shut behind them.
"Vegeta!" cried out Bulma as she was pulled with him into the door.
"Bulma!" he cried out as Bulma was pulled somehow out of his grip.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Vegeta.... Vegeta!.... Wake up Vegeta!" yelled out a voice.
"wha? what?" muttered Vegeta as he slowly opened his eyes. "KAKKAROT?!" he cried out as a older looking Goku stood before him in a white room.
Goku gave a warm smile and shook his head no. "I'm not the Goku you know I'm another version you can say."
Vegeta blinked at him. "What are you saying?" he demaned.
"Well in another version of your universe I've already lived life and have died. I have transended to the next level."Goku spoke firmly.
Vegeta's face grew in shock. "Are... are you saying what I think your saying?"
Goku nodded. "Yes I have gone on to ultimate engery. I am everywhere and no where now but for now let's just say I'm here to show you a few things."
Vegeta gave a small frown. "Show me what?"
Goku only smiled at him as he motioned in a direction behind him. "This way."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Bulmaaa...." spoke a voice.
"huh?" she muttered as she opened her eyes. All she saw was a white room. She glanced around and saw a older more yet semi transparent Vegeta looking at her from a corner. "V..Vegeta?"
He gave a small smile then seemed to faded away. Bulma blinked at what just happen. "Bulma!" spoke a voice harshly.
She spun around and saw the older but different some how version of Vegeta looming over her. "w..what do you want, your not Vegeta!" she cried.
He gave a almost cold smirk. "Your right. Smart girl. I'm not the Vegeta you know. To pay for my sins in my world I am doomed to guide others along at times till I am worhtly of going to heaven." he spoke firmly.
"sins?" she blinked.
His face seemed to grow dim and his smirk faded. "Yes, in my universe I have killed billions and countless more. But enough about that, we have to go."
Bulma gasped slightly at the word "billions", could her Vegeta be also capable of such a act? "no!" her mind screamed at her. "G...go where?" she spoke being slightly frighten now.
"Do not worry, I will not harm you. I'm only here to show." He spoke firmly. He held out his hand to her. Bulma looked him over and slowly took his hand. He pulled her softly to his side and paused for a moment. He glanced down at her. "It's good to see you agian, well a version of you anyway." he spoke with such a sad tone.
Bulma looked deep into his eyes. If that Vegeta was capable anymore he would have shed a tear. "You miss her don't you?" she spoke softly.
He turned his gaze away from her and looked ahead as a cold look took over his face. A small sigh came from his mouth. "Yes, I do."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta took a step forward as a bright flash of light took over the world. He shut his eyes from the blinding light for a moment. When he reopened them before him was a city. Goku walked up next to them as they stood now on top of a roof top.
"where, are we?" Vegeta questioned him.
"On a roof top." Goku answered back.
Vegeta looked at him with a unamused look. "I can see that."
Goku smiled at him. "Were just waiting here for a moment is all don't worry about it."
Vegeta blinked. "Waiting for what now?"
Goku walked over to the railing and leaned up agians't it. "Well you see your not the only one I'm here for."
"Bulma?" he blurted out.
Goku shook his head no. "Actually another you. It's his time to move on and were just going to tail him till he finishes his job."
Vegeta blinked at him. "So what does this have to do with me?"
Goku rubbed the back of his head. "Well not much. Your actually one of the better Vegeta's I have to say. Your future looks pretty good but remeber this, power isn't everything and don't let it get to your head."
Vegeta for a moment thought to the words in his prized book. It was strange to see Goku this new light. He looked the same yet was so, different, deeper it almost seemed. "Ok come on." he spoke up breaking Vegeta's train of thought. Goku grabbed Vegeta's wrist and dissapeared into a world of white as he protested.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bulma opened her eyes as the world around them dimed down as they stood in a forest. She looked around and blinked as she saw woods in every direction. "Uhh where are we?"
The older Vegeta blinked. "I... I do not know. We weren't suppose to go here. It... it looks like a forest I use to train in, back on Vegetasei." he said in shock.
"What?!" she screamed at him. "You don't even know where we are going!?!"
Vegeta winced slightly. "Shut up! I do know, it's just some how we are here!" he yelled back at her.
"Heh, same old Vegeta I see." spoke a voice.
The two snapped there heads to see Goku and the teenage Vegeta standing a little ahead of them now. "KAKKAROT!?" Vegeta screamed as he stepped back a foot in shock.
Goku smiled and waved at him. "Long time no see!" he said happily.
Vegeta shook his head and gave a smirk. "Yes, it has been a long time, but, what are you doing here?"
Bulma and Vegeta blinked at the other two as they spoke. Vegeta gave Kakkarot a funny look and walked over to Bulma who was also moving away from the older Vegeta. "Who's that!?" he questioned her.
"Duh you." she muttered.
"I can see that but I mean he's so old." He said just staring at the older Vegeta.
"Yea but he's really cute. Wow look at those arms." Bulma said with a sly tone.
Vegeta looked at Bulma in shock. "Umm.... ya...."
"I'm here for you." Goku spoke strongly.
"What, me?" Vegeta questioned him.
Goku nodded. "Yup and there's someone here to see you." Goku side stepped and from behind him stood a older looking Bulma with a bright smile on her face.
Vegeta's face dropped along with the other Bulma and Vegeta. "B..Bulma?" he sputtered out.
She smiled and placed her hands on her hips and moved her weight on to her left leg. "What no hello?" she smirked.
The older Vegeta's face brighten as he calmly walked to her. He stopped just in front of her and looked her over. A stunning red dress hugged her curves as she stared deep into his eyes. Vegeta raised his gloved hand to her cheek and rubbed it. "I've missed you." he spoke softly.
The older Bulma seemed a little surprised at his statement and blushed. "me too" she spoke just as softly.
Ignoreing everyone around him Vegeta leaned in placed a soft kiss on her lips that seemed to have everyone hold their breaths for no reason. The younger Bulma smiled and clasped her hands together as the dream like moment happen. The other Vegeta just watched, wondering what was going on. Goku was just smiling at the couple kiss.
Vegeta pulled back and looked over at Goku. "Does this mean I can go with her finally?"
Goku went to say something but Vegeta's face was pulled back to Bulma. "Yes, you can come home now." she spoke happily.
The older Vegeta's eyes seem to grow stronger at the good news. They shined dark brown that was more black looking then brown. A smirk rolled arcoss his face as he looked down at Bulma. "Let's go home then." he smiled atlast.
A warm white light over took them and then they were gone. Goku let out a happy sigh as he saw his two long time friends vanish. A slight sad look played on Goku's face as a wave of sorrow hit him. He had missed hiw own wife very much but was unable to be with her. He had transented too far and was nothing but pure engery that could take shape when needed. He couldn't be with her the way he wanted to anymore.
The look soon went away as he turned to the other couple who had been watching the whole thing. "Oh ya I almost forgot about you two. Well your free to go I guess. There's really nothing to show you guys. Just be there for one another is all I'm going to say."
The two slightly nodded as Goku waved goodbye to them. The world went white as a warm feeling rolled over them. When the light finally broke the two found themsevles falling downward towards nothing really at first. Bulma grabbed on to Vegeta hand and just smiled at him. Vegeta looked at her and grabbed her other hand as they fell. Seconds later they seemed to slow down for a moment as they suddenly splashed into a body water. Vegeta drew Bulma to him as the two sunk downward into the black abys of some strange warm sea.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta was the first to wake. He let out a dry cough as his tounge laid in his mouth like a dry peace of leather. His eyes were still heavy as they opened slowly. The room around him was a blur till it slowly started to come into focus. The living room was lit in a red hue as the sun set slowly out on the shimmering sea. He let out a slight moan as he ran his hand over his face. His mouth slowly became moist once more.
After letting out a lazy yawn he glanced over to the woman in his arms. A warm smile rolled over his face as he looked at her as she slept. He laid his face near the top of her head and took a deep breath in. The scent of her shampoo danced in his nose. "Strawberry Cream" spoke out his mind. She was nothing less than pleasing to all of his scenses.
He streched slightly, well as the best he could without waking Bulma. With a little stretch of his tail muscles, he found his tail and Bulma's were no longer stuck together. His tail soon snaked it's way around her waist and softly and gently brushed along her stomach. At that moment he felt like the most content person in the whole universe. He sighed happily as he watched Bulma sleep.
Here he was, in a bed of sorts, with his mate. No war, no parents, no school. Just him and the woman he will only love. He just laid there, enjoying each moment that went by. He had learned long ago that times such as this were short and rare. So he took as much as time as he could and burned the feelings of it all into his mind. He soon laid his head back down and snuggled closer into Bulma.
The sun slipped down into the water and all that was left was hues of bright tones coloring the sky. On the other end of the sky, night crept along, slowly taking over the once bright day. Far away their friends got ready for the night. Each of them ending a long day and somewhere in the back of their minds wondering where their friends have gone to.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Goku pulled his night shirt over his head. A little yawn came from his mouth as he glanced over at the clock on the night table. It read "8:47". He rolled his left shoulder forward as he walked towards his bed. A few cars went by along the street outside. Goku pulled back the sheets and crawled in a some foots steps came down from in the hall. The bedroom door slowly opened as Chichi came in.
She pulled her hair tie out and shook her head slightly as her long hair fell. She grabbed a brush and brushed her hair carefully. After setting down the brush she papped her way over to the other side of the bed and crawled in. Goku automatically rolled over and wrapped a arm around Chichi. A last yawn came out of his mouth as he snuggled his face in her neck.
"Night." he softly mummbled before falling asleep with great speed.
"Good Night." Chichi smiled as she closed her own eyes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Piccolo ran the back of his hand along his forehead. A heavy coat of sweat covered his body as he picked up a bottle of water. His father walked over and smirked at his son. He tossed him a towel and Piccolo softly said thanks to him. The tree's around the shrine he lived in blew softly as the moon started to grow more brightly in the sky.
"Let's call it a day son." spoke Piccolo Daimou
"Sure" repiled Piccolo.
The two walked back off to the main house on the side of the shrine. Piccolo's uncle Kami came out and slowly closed the door. He smiled to himself and was happy he finally got the shrine cleaned for the night. Him and his brother ran this shrine for people in need. Although Piccolo Daimou wasn't as religoius as him he still helped out here and there.
A small man came walking up the steps that lead to the shrine. Kami turned and a smile grew on his face as he saw who it was. "Mr Popo!" he cried out as he waved to his good friend.
Mr. Popo smiled back as he held a box carrying the many tea's they enjoyed so much. Summer was turning into fall so they both enjoyed to talk and sip the choice tea's of the seasons in the evening hours.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So how's your mother doing?" asked Tien over the phone.
Lunch smiled to herself as she laid over her bed. "She's doing alot better. I'm sorry I gave her my nasty cold."
"Yea well that's good." Tien sat back more in his chair as he looked over his bedroom window.
"Yea. So what do you think happen to Bulma and Vegeta?" Lunch finally asked.
Tien blinked. "I'm not sure but who know's. Bulma finally got a man, knowing her she probaly ran off to somewhere with him."
Lunch gave a lop sided frown. "Yea, well I hope there ok, where ever they are."
"Yea." Tien replied.
"Hey Tien get off the phone! I gotta make a call!" cried out a younger boy's voice.
A long groan came from Tien. "hey I gotta go. Chaozu needs the phone, I'll see ya tomorrow."
"O..k.. Bye."sighed Lunch.
"Bye"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
18 watched the screen carefully as she laid on her stomach along her bed. "Krillin, I hope you know your loseing. Very badly." 18 pointed out.
Krillin frowned more as his fingers slammed on the controller. He glanced over at 17 who was calm and collected as he hit all the right buttons. "Grrr!" growled Krillin as his guy was upper cutted.
A smile over came 17 as he finished Krillin with a kick to the head. "Well I believe that's game. Better luck next time man."
Krillin sighed as he watched the tv screen blink 17 was the winner. "Yea maybe."
"Well I'm gonna go surf online for a while. Later you two." 17 waved as he exited 18's room.
Krillin flopped back on the floor as he looked at the ceiling. "Will I ever beat that brother of yours?"
"Heh no." smirked 18.
Krillin frowned as he looked back and up at 18 who was looking down at him from her bed. "Well your a big help." he said flattly.
"Hey I can't help it if you just suck." 18 chuckled.
Krillin frowned more as he was picked on. He left out a soreful sigh in defeat. 18's brow raised slightly. "Hey don't get all huffy now. It was just a game."
"Ya I know." Krillin frowned. "I just wish I would win sometimes."
18 smirked slightly. "Is that so?" she questioned. Krillin nodded and looked up at the ceiling once more. "Well if you want you could be a winner right now." she spoke suductivly.
Kirllin looked back up as 18 gazed at him. A slight blush crossed his checks as she patted her bed for him to come.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yamcha walked into his room and shut the door behind him. He flopped down on his bed and looked over at the picture frame on the night stand. In the picture stood him when he was 5 and mother and father. They all looked so happy then. He placed it back and looked up at the white ceiling. A frown played at his face.
His mother was sitting in a chair in the living room. He took a long drag of her cigrette before putting it out in the ash tray in front of her. She looked over the bills spread out before her. She sighed and took a sip of her beer. The bills before her was taking there told on her. Dark circles hung below her eyes.
Yamcha came out of his room carrying his jacket with him. His mother looked up at him as he walked by. "where are you going now?" she asked him.
Yamcha sighed. "I'm going out." he spoke a little harshly as he exited the small apartment.
He walked along the sidewalk to no where really. His family was broken now and he didn't really care. All he had was himself and that's all he needed. Sure he liked girls but they were only tempary pain relievers for him. Nothing in his mind lasted fovever so why care for what he hurts along the way?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ellen: Hey sorry guys it took me so long to update.

Chapter 31 -- Going Home
The last bell went off and many students started to file out of the school. It was a warm fall day and the sun shone brightly down upon them all. Goku took off his jacket and draped it over his arm. Chichi who was standing right next to him looked upward and wiped a drop of sweat rolling down her face.
"Warm today huh?" Chichi smiled at Goku.

Chichi stopped and looked up at him. "What makes you say that Goku?"
Goku gave his famous son grin and rubbed the back of his head. "I don't know I just got a feeling they'll be back soon. Maybe I'm psychic or something, heh heh heh."
Chichi gave a funny smile. "Yea well there due back anyway. I wonder where they are." Chichi looked up at the sky once more hoping that her two friends where safe and sound.
"Hey let's go home and you can make me some of that yummy dim sum of yours." Goku chuckled and his mouth started to water at the though of dim sum.
Chichi laughed and smacked him in the arm. "Ok ok We'll go home and I'll make you dim sum and some miso soup." Goku quickly nodded and grabbed Chichi's hand. She smiled warmly at him as Goku tried to hurry her along down the sidewalk.

She smiled more as she stopped her laughing. "Your a cute one there Veggie boy." She winked.
Vegeta blushed slightly in the cheeks then smirked. "And so are you." he said with a slight chuckle.
"I know..." Bulma said as if it was that clear to all. "Anyway what now? We look like little kids. God all this Saiyan stuff is werid but fun in a way." She spoke as she held her hands behind her head and looked all around.
"Well don't expect anything from me. Saiyans don't talk about what goes on in the full bonding time. So who knows, what ever happens, happens I guess." Vegeta sounded a little down for being clueless in the last important step of it all.
"Oh well." She spoke as she dropped her hands down to her sides. She frowned slightly at being on different sides. She saw a few rocks and hopped from one to the other till she was on Vegeta side.

Bulma looked down at her self and saw she was in the adtire she wore at that age. "Wooa, werid." she spoke outloud.
Vegeta nodded as he looked her over them himself quickly. He was the same way as he saw himself in Saiyan training armor. "Oh well." he shrugged. "I'm not going to even ask."
Bulma shrugged as well as she looked at Vegeta. He held out his hand to her and smirked slightly. "Shall we got take a look around?" Bulma smiled and placed her hand in his. He held her hand gently as they walked off into the grass.
It looked like a normal meadow with some hilled surounding it. There wasn't too many trees around, just mostly grass and hills. Vegeta felt a little uneasy in this place. He had no clue as to what was suppose to happen. A swift breeze blew by causeing Vegeta to shut his eyes for a momment. When he opened them back up he took a glance at Bulma to see if she was ok.

There was nothing to really see so far. Then they came to three huge trees after a while. On each of the giant trunks there was a single door of some kind.
"I... I wonder what it means..." spoke Bulma as she was a tad worried now. She held on to Vegeta's arm as he looked them over.
"Past, Present, and Future... " He read outloud.
"what?" blinked Bulma.
Vegeta pointed as he read agian. First to the door on the left. "Past" he read a sign just above it. "Present" he spoke as he move to the middle. "Future." he lastly said pointing to the tree on the right.
Bulma looked back and forth and grew even more worried. "What do you think we should do?"
Vegeta frowned slightly then smirked and looked at Bulma. "How about pick a door?"
Bulma frowned a bit. "I don't know.
"Heh" he huffed. "Fine then I will. Let's see what's to come." he smirked as he walked over to the door with the word "Future" above it.
"I...I don't like this Vegeta. Let's just go." Bulma said frighten now for what may lie ahead.
Vegeta stopped and looked back at her. He gave a lop sided frown and went to her side. "Hey it's ok. Do you really think I'll let anything bad happen to you?" he spoke in a calm voice.
Bulma looked up into his eye and shook her head no. Vegeta smiled and wrapped a arm around her waist. "Then come on. It should be intresting if anything."
"Fine" she huffed as he pulled her to the door.
Vegeta grabbed the wooden nob and opened it. The door swung inwward to darkness. Vegeta looked around and saw nothing. He frowned and looked at Bulma. Just when he was about to speak and large sucktion came and the two by surprise were pulled in as the door slamed shut behind them.
"Vegeta!" cried out Bulma as she was pulled with him into the door.
"Bulma!" he cried out as Bulma was pulled somehow out of his grip.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Vegeta.... Vegeta!.... Wake up Vegeta!" yelled out a voice.
"wha? what?" muttered Vegeta as he slowly opened his eyes. "KAKKAROT?!" he cried out as a older looking Goku stood before him in a white room.
Goku gave a warm smile and shook his head no. "I'm not the Goku you know I'm another version you can say."
Vegeta blinked at him. "What are you saying?" he demaned.
"Well in another version of your universe I've already lived life and have died. I have transended to the next level."Goku spoke firmly.
Vegeta's face grew in shock. "Are... are you saying what I think your saying?"
Goku nodded. "Yes I have gone on to ultimate engery. I am everywhere and no where now but for now let's just say I'm here to show you a few things."
Vegeta gave a small frown. "Show me what?"
Goku only smiled at him as he motioned in a direction behind him. "This way."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Bulmaaa...." spoke a voice.
"huh?" she muttered as she opened her eyes. All she saw was a white room. She glanced around and saw a older more yet semi transparent Vegeta looking at her from a corner. "V..Vegeta?"
He gave a small smile then seemed to faded away. Bulma blinked at what just happen. "Bulma!" spoke a voice harshly.
She spun around and saw the older but different some how version of Vegeta looming over her. "w..what do you want, your not Vegeta!" she cried.
He gave a almost cold smirk. "Your right. Smart girl. I'm not the Vegeta you know. To pay for my sins in my world I am doomed to guide others along at times till I am worhtly of going to heaven." he spoke firmly.
"sins?" she blinked.
His face seemed to grow dim and his smirk faded. "Yes, in my universe I have killed billions and countless more. But enough about that, we have to go."
Bulma gasped slightly at the word "billions", could her Vegeta be also capable of such a act? "no!" her mind screamed at her. "G...go where?" she spoke being slightly frighten now.
"Do not worry, I will not harm you. I'm only here to show." He spoke firmly. He held out his hand to her. Bulma looked him over and slowly took his hand. He pulled her softly to his side and paused for a moment. He glanced down at her. "It's good to see you agian, well a version of you anyway." he spoke with such a sad tone.
Bulma looked deep into his eyes. If that Vegeta was capable anymore he would have shed a tear. "You miss her don't you?" she spoke softly.
He turned his gaze away from her and looked ahead as a cold look took over his face. A small sigh came from his mouth. "Yes, I do."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta took a step forward as a bright flash of light took over the world. He shut his eyes from the blinding light for a moment. When he reopened them before him was a city. Goku walked up next to them as they stood now on top of a roof top.
"where, are we?" Vegeta questioned him.
"On a roof top." Goku answered back.
Vegeta looked at him with a unamused look. "I can see that."
Goku smiled at him. "Were just waiting here for a moment is all don't worry about it."
Vegeta blinked. "Waiting for what now?"
Goku walked over to the railing and leaned up agians't it. "Well you see your not the only one I'm here for."
"Bulma?" he blurted out.
Goku shook his head no. "Actually another you. It's his time to move on and were just going to tail him till he finishes his job."
Vegeta blinked at him. "So what does this have to do with me?"
Goku rubbed the back of his head. "Well not much. Your actually one of the better Vegeta's I have to say. Your future looks pretty good but remeber this, power isn't everything and don't let it get to your head."
Vegeta for a moment thought to the words in his prized book. It was strange to see Goku this new light. He looked the same yet was so, different, deeper it almost seemed. "Ok come on." he spoke up breaking Vegeta's train of thought. Goku grabbed Vegeta's wrist and dissapeared into a world of white as he protested.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bulma opened her eyes as the world around them dimed down as they stood in a forest. She looked around and blinked as she saw woods in every direction. "Uhh where are we?"
The older Vegeta blinked. "I... I do not know. We weren't suppose to go here. It... it looks like a forest I use to train in, back on Vegetasei." he said in shock.
"What?!" she screamed at him. "You don't even know where we are going!?!"
Vegeta winced slightly. "Shut up! I do know, it's just some how we are here!" he yelled back at her.
"Heh, same old Vegeta I see." spoke a voice.
The two snapped there heads to see Goku and the teenage Vegeta standing a little ahead of them now. "KAKKAROT!?" Vegeta screamed as he stepped back a foot in shock.
Goku smiled and waved at him. "Long time no see!" he said happily.
Vegeta shook his head and gave a smirk. "Yes, it has been a long time, but, what are you doing here?"
Bulma and Vegeta blinked at the other two as they spoke. Vegeta gave Kakkarot a funny look and walked over to Bulma who was also moving away from the older Vegeta. "Who's that!?" he questioned her.
"Duh you." she muttered.
"I can see that but I mean he's so old." He said just staring at the older Vegeta.
"Yea but he's really cute. Wow look at those arms." Bulma said with a sly tone.
Vegeta looked at Bulma in shock. "Umm.... ya...."
"I'm here for you." Goku spoke strongly.
"What, me?" Vegeta questioned him.
Goku nodded. "Yup and there's someone here to see you." Goku side stepped and from behind him stood a older looking Bulma with a bright smile on her face.
Vegeta's face dropped along with the other Bulma and Vegeta. "B..Bulma?" he sputtered out.
She smiled and placed her hands on her hips and moved her weight on to her left leg. "What no hello?" she smirked.
The older Vegeta's face brighten as he calmly walked to her. He stopped just in front of her and looked her over. A stunning red dress hugged her curves as she stared deep into his eyes. Vegeta raised his gloved hand to her cheek and rubbed it. "I've missed you." he spoke softly.
The older Bulma seemed a little surprised at his statement and blushed. "me too" she spoke just as softly.
Ignoreing everyone around him Vegeta leaned in placed a soft kiss on her lips that seemed to have everyone hold their breaths for no reason. The younger Bulma smiled and clasped her hands together as the dream like moment happen. The other Vegeta just watched, wondering what was going on. Goku was just smiling at the couple kiss.
Vegeta pulled back and looked over at Goku. "Does this mean I can go with her finally?"
Goku went to say something but Vegeta's face was pulled back to Bulma. "Yes, you can come home now." she spoke happily.
The older Vegeta's eyes seem to grow stronger at the good news. They shined dark brown that was more black looking then brown. A smirk rolled arcoss his face as he looked down at Bulma. "Let's go home then." he smiled atlast.
A warm white light over took them and then they were gone. Goku let out a happy sigh as he saw his two long time friends vanish. A slight sad look played on Goku's face as a wave of sorrow hit him. He had missed hiw own wife very much but was unable to be with her. He had transented too far and was nothing but pure engery that could take shape when needed. He couldn't be with her the way he wanted to anymore.
The look soon went away as he turned to the other couple who had been watching the whole thing. "Oh ya I almost forgot about you two. Well your free to go I guess. There's really nothing to show you guys. Just be there for one another is all I'm going to say."
The two slightly nodded as Goku waved goodbye to them. The world went white as a warm feeling rolled over them. When the light finally broke the two found themsevles falling downward towards nothing really at first. Bulma grabbed on to Vegeta hand and just smiled at him. Vegeta looked at her and grabbed her other hand as they fell. Seconds later they seemed to slow down for a moment as they suddenly splashed into a body water. Vegeta drew Bulma to him as the two sunk downward into the black abys of some strange warm sea.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta was the first to wake. He let out a dry cough as his tounge laid in his mouth like a dry peace of leather. His eyes were still heavy as they opened slowly. The room around him was a blur till it slowly started to come into focus. The living room was lit in a red hue as the sun set slowly out on the shimmering sea. He let out a slight moan as he ran his hand over his face. His mouth slowly became moist once more.
After letting out a lazy yawn he glanced over to the woman in his arms. A warm smile rolled over his face as he looked at her as she slept. He laid his face near the top of her head and took a deep breath in. The scent of her shampoo danced in his nose. "Strawberry Cream" spoke out his mind. She was nothing less than pleasing to all of his scenses.
He streched slightly, well as the best he could without waking Bulma. With a little stretch of his tail muscles, he found his tail and Bulma's were no longer stuck together. His tail soon snaked it's way around her waist and softly and gently brushed along her stomach. At that moment he felt like the most content person in the whole universe. He sighed happily as he watched Bulma sleep.
Here he was, in a bed of sorts, with his mate. No war, no parents, no school. Just him and the woman he will only love. He just laid there, enjoying each moment that went by. He had learned long ago that times such as this were short and rare. So he took as much as time as he could and burned the feelings of it all into his mind. He soon laid his head back down and snuggled closer into Bulma.
The sun slipped down into the water and all that was left was hues of bright tones coloring the sky. On the other end of the sky, night crept along, slowly taking over the once bright day. Far away their friends got ready for the night. Each of them ending a long day and somewhere in the back of their minds wondering where their friends have gone to.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Goku pulled his night shirt over his head. A little yawn came from his mouth as he glanced over at the clock on the night table. It read "8:47". He rolled his left shoulder forward as he walked towards his bed. A few cars went by along the street outside. Goku pulled back the sheets and crawled in a some foots steps came down from in the hall. The bedroom door slowly opened as Chichi came in.
She pulled her hair tie out and shook her head slightly as her long hair fell. She grabbed a brush and brushed her hair carefully. After setting down the brush she papped her way over to the other side of the bed and crawled in. Goku automatically rolled over and wrapped a arm around Chichi. A last yawn came out of his mouth as he snuggled his face in her neck.
"Night." he softly mummbled before falling asleep with great speed.
"Good Night." Chichi smiled as she closed her own eyes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Piccolo ran the back of his hand along his forehead. A heavy coat of sweat covered his body as he picked up a bottle of water. His father walked over and smirked at his son. He tossed him a towel and Piccolo softly said thanks to him. The tree's around the shrine he lived in blew softly as the moon started to grow more brightly in the sky.
"Let's call it a day son." spoke Piccolo Daimou
"Sure" repiled Piccolo.
The two walked back off to the main house on the side of the shrine. Piccolo's uncle Kami came out and slowly closed the door. He smiled to himself and was happy he finally got the shrine cleaned for the night. Him and his brother ran this shrine for people in need. Although Piccolo Daimou wasn't as religoius as him he still helped out here and there.
A small man came walking up the steps that lead to the shrine. Kami turned and a smile grew on his face as he saw who it was. "Mr Popo!" he cried out as he waved to his good friend.
Mr. Popo smiled back as he held a box carrying the many tea's they enjoyed so much. Summer was turning into fall so they both enjoyed to talk and sip the choice tea's of the seasons in the evening hours.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So how's your mother doing?" asked Tien over the phone.
Lunch smiled to herself as she laid over her bed. "She's doing alot better. I'm sorry I gave her my nasty cold."
"Yea well that's good." Tien sat back more in his chair as he looked over his bedroom window.
"Yea. So what do you think happen to Bulma and Vegeta?" Lunch finally asked.
Tien blinked. "I'm not sure but who know's. Bulma finally got a man, knowing her she probaly ran off to somewhere with him."
Lunch gave a lop sided frown. "Yea, well I hope there ok, where ever they are."
"Yea." Tien replied.
"Hey Tien get off the phone! I gotta make a call!" cried out a younger boy's voice.
A long groan came from Tien. "hey I gotta go. Chaozu needs the phone, I'll see ya tomorrow."
"O..k.. Bye."sighed Lunch.
"Bye"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
18 watched the screen carefully as she laid on her stomach along her bed. "Krillin, I hope you know your loseing. Very badly." 18 pointed out.
Krillin frowned more as his fingers slammed on the controller. He glanced over at 17 who was calm and collected as he hit all the right buttons. "Grrr!" growled Krillin as his guy was upper cutted.
A smile over came 17 as he finished Krillin with a kick to the head. "Well I believe that's game. Better luck next time man."
Krillin sighed as he watched the tv screen blink 17 was the winner. "Yea maybe."
"Well I'm gonna go surf online for a while. Later you two." 17 waved as he exited 18's room.
Krillin flopped back on the floor as he looked at the ceiling. "Will I ever beat that brother of yours?"
"Heh no." smirked 18.
Krillin frowned as he looked back and up at 18 who was looking down at him from her bed. "Well your a big help." he said flattly.
"Hey I can't help it if you just suck." 18 chuckled.
Krillin frowned more as he was picked on. He left out a soreful sigh in defeat. 18's brow raised slightly. "Hey don't get all huffy now. It was just a game."
"Ya I know." Krillin frowned. "I just wish I would win sometimes."
18 smirked slightly. "Is that so?" she questioned. Krillin nodded and looked up at the ceiling once more. "Well if you want you could be a winner right now." she spoke suductivly.
Kirllin looked back up as 18 gazed at him. A slight blush crossed his checks as she patted her bed for him to come.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yamcha walked into his room and shut the door behind him. He flopped down on his bed and looked over at the picture frame on the night stand. In the picture stood him when he was 5 and mother and father. They all looked so happy then. He placed it back and looked up at the white ceiling. A frown played at his face.
His mother was sitting in a chair in the living room. He took a long drag of her cigrette before putting it out in the ash tray in front of her. She looked over the bills spread out before her. She sighed and took a sip of her beer. The bills before her was taking there told on her. Dark circles hung below her eyes.
Yamcha came out of his room carrying his jacket with him. His mother looked up at him as he walked by. "where are you going now?" she asked him.
Yamcha sighed. "I'm going out." he spoke a little harshly as he exited the small apartment.
He walked along the sidewalk to no where really. His family was broken now and he didn't really care. All he had was himself and that's all he needed. Sure he liked girls but they were only tempary pain relievers for him. Nothing in his mind lasted fovever so why care for what he hurts along the way?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
