Hey.... sorry that there was no update yesterday - my spirit for this story has been somewhat broken. Bits of my spirit have been fired about, very upset.... *sob* Nobody ask me about it, very upsetting. *sniffle* Let's just get this routine over and done with first of all.

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, If i did this would be on TV (duh!)

Reviewer(s): Breshcandra - Yes, i'm going to add Raditz in, possibly in this chapter, i don't plan it... i just write and see what appears. And as i go along i'll think of something for Bulma to do that's gonna get the King and Prince's attention. Yup...

On with the story... Even tho my spirit has been broken and I really don't want to do this right now.. if i get it over and done with i'll be releived a bit.

Light shone through the window onto Chi-Chi's bed in the Bardock residence blinding her as she peered sleepily through a small gap in her eyelids. She groaned and rolled out the bed. She scratched her neck, stretched and opened the door slightly.

"Taanipu?"

Just then Taanipu came upto her "Ahhh, Chi-Chi. Come, we're all having breakfast." As she took Chi-Chi lightly by the wrist and led her into a lightly coloured room with a large oak table in the middle with people eating around it like crazy. "AHEM!" Everyone stopped eating and turned to see Taanipu with a small girl.

Bardock was the first to speak.

"Ahh, Chi-Chi, Mornin'"

Chi-Chi smiled slightly as Taanipu led her to a seat at beside a male version of Taanipu. He was tall and heavily built, he had armour on with the shoulder pads and thigh guards. He also wore a full spandex suit and a green scouter while his tail hung out the back of his chair unguarded.

Taanipu looked at the man

"Raditz, this is Chi-Chi" as she motioned her hand to Chi-Chi "And Chi-Chi, this is my eldest son, Raditz."

Chi-Chi grinned and waved slightly.

Taanipu then averted her eyes to the other side of the table where the mini-Bardock was quite happily stuffing his face "And this, Chi-Chi, is Kakarotto, my youngest son who you've already met" as she laughed slightly.

Chi-Chi nodded knowingly as she stared in awe at how much food he was forcing into his mouth and sometimes didn't chew his food

"wow.."

*********

Inside the science labs 5 children worked away; 1 quite confused and bewildered as to what she was supposed to be doing; 2 were rummaging through metal scraps and generally just carrying on; the 4th one was helping everyone; and finally the last one, the shortest one, was quite happily with her head stuck in a machine with a mask on as sparks flew past her head. Being only 5 children in the science lab they all got to know each other in the short time they had been together in the ship, rooms and lab. There were 2 blondes one with green eyes - Mimi and one with blue - Mel. It was hard to tell the difference between Mimi and Mel which they got annoyed at they seemed so alike yet one was English and the other was Italian. Ivory was a brown haired, brown eyed Canadian girl - very naive. There was a red head among them too, the little helper she had green eyes and went by the name Nicole. And lasty how could we forgot the shortest of the lot, blue hair, blue eyes and due to get in trouble anytime, our little Bulma. So... we have Mimi, Mel, Ivory, Nicole and Bulma. All young, innocent (for now) and they seem quite happy.

(A/N: My computer crashed and above this note was all i had saved, ack! So below this will be rushed ... sorry?)

When Bulma took her head out the machine you could see that she held a sort of blow torch and was looking at it curiously. She hit the top of it of her other palm a few times, tapped the top, then went back inside the machine and gribbed hold of the handle tightly and pulled a lever underneath it. Nothing happened. She done it again, same result. She pulled it frantically a few more times and a large flame threw her out the machine to the other side of the room, she hit shelves, her helmet fell off, everything off the shelves fell - jars, glasses, chemicals, the lot. Labcoats fell among it and she landed on a counter, everything scattered off that as well and onto the floor. Bulma's once white labcoat had now purple liquid in it and a few holes from the shelves and was hanging all over her. Bulma heard fast heavy footsteps coming towards the door as the door swung open and the King walked in

"Uh oh!"

was all Bulma could escape from her mouth as she dived off the shelf and into one of the big long rows of metal shelfing, she took the first left and before turning she could see the King pacing down the row from where she had came. She faced the way she was heading. Dead end. She whipped around as fast as her heels could go and she sprinted past the King who's face was a twisted anger. Bulma was used to running when she done something bad, it was like a case of déjà vu. Bulma would do something wrong and her father would chase her, mad. But this time it was slightly different, it wasn't iher/i father, it was someone else's. Her face softened as she thought of her father but determination quickly swept over as she dived into the next row and looking back saw the King skid past. She giggled slightly and looking back she saw nothing and because she was running while looking backwards she couldn't see where she was going, she turned her head and colided with something warm. Thud. And she hit the floor. She stood up, dusted herself off and looked up

"Oh hi.. you're almighty.....King-ness?"

The King just looked at her with anger and humour both in his eyes but never said a word. Bulma looked away from his eyes mumbling something about no fun and looked about uneasily.

"Child," the king began, but not being able to finish as Bulma butt-in

"My NAME is not 'Child' it's Bulma! B-u-l-m-a! Okay? I am Bulma! Not 'Child' and besides, i am NOT iyour/i child. I am of the Brief family and proud!" as she pointed to herself with her thumb.

The King sniggered slightly at that as he smirked. *~Such a small onna, yet brave enough to stand upto someone like me.~*

"Okay then. ... . Bulma, would you care to explain why there is such a mess in the lab AND on you? And don't tell me it wasn't you, you're wearing the proof."

"Oh darn blast it! I was caught in the act... i fell...ish."

"So.. you fell? From the air?"

"Yes! From the air! I fell out of the air!"

The King sniggered "You fell out of the air?"

"YES! I fell out of the air!"

The King decided to keep humouring the child "So.. you really fell out of the air?"

"YES! I FELL OUT OF THE AIR!" By this time Bulma's face was red partly because she was fed up answering the same thing and she was embarrassed, then she noticed the King's sniggering "You're making a fool of me.... aren't you?"

"No, Child, of course not." As he sniggered and walked back down the rows of shelving as Bulma closed her eyes and bowed her head slightly and waited for the sliding of the door to tell her when he was gone.
