Descendants, Earth's New Hope

Disclaimer:: I do not own any of the Dragonball/z/gt characters. . .Just so you know. Well actually I only put this here because I have to.



"We've been waiting in here for a while. . .what do you thinks going on out there?" Vegeta rested his chin on his fist. Him and Goku were in a small room with silk pillows covering the ground. Bota had brought them there and told them to relax until dinner was ready.

Goku just crossed his arms and continued to stare at the wall.

Vegeta sighed, "Goku, you're acting like a child."

"Fuck you."

". . .I guess I deserved that. But it's true. Had it been any other girl, you would have been happy for me."

". . ."

"I'm right, aren't I?"

Goku glanced at him for the first time since they had been there, "You should have told me."

"You're right. You're my best friend and until Kara came into our lives I've never kept anything from you."

"So. . .what does she really mean to you?"

Vegeta leaned against a wall and sighed, "I've had feelings for her from the start. At first I thought it was just a crush but the feeling got stronger ever time I saw her." He felt a bit uncomfortable trying to share his feelings with another guy but he'd do anything to stop Goku from being upset with him.

"I should have known. . .Things have always been weird between the two of you."

"Yeah."

Goku rubbed his head and took a deep breath. He sat silently for a moment then looked back at Vegeta. "There's something I've always been curious about."

"What?"

"I'm going to ask you a question Vegeta. . .And you better not lie."

He nodded slowly.

"I found bruises on Kara one morning. She told me that it was due to the fact that you two had been training the night before. Was that true?"

~Shit, I wasn't expecting that. . .We were supposed to pretend the whole thing never happened but I can't lie to him about it now~ "No. . ."

"I knew it. What really happened?"

"Well. . .You know how we sometimes aren't ourselves?"

"Yeah. I talked to Kara about it, she seems to think it has something to do with the moon. Why do you ask?"

"Well I came over one night because I couldn't sleep and I thought you might be up. Kara was outside, she couldn't sleep either. She told me that she tried to wake you up but she couldn't. We talked for a while and just gazed at the scenery, but suddenly something came over me. It's that same feeling that I get quite often where I'm not myself. . .You know what that's like Goku, I just couldn't control myself."

Goku got to his feet and looked down at him, "What did you do to her?!?!"

Vegeta looked at him nervously, "I. . .I got a little fresh with her. . .but I managed to stop myself before it got too far."

"What?!?!"

Vegeta got to his feet as well and looked at him seriously, "I saw the fear in her eyes. Something stopped me when that happened. I realized what I was doing."

"What do you mean you realized what you were doing!?! I would think you would have figured that out a hell of a lot sooner!!!"

"Like I said, I wasn't myself. I couldn't even think straight."

Goku took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "So what made you stop? The fact that if you went any further and I found out, I would have killed you?!"

"No. . ."

"What then?!"

"You should have seen how frightened she was." He looked down at the ground, "And it was me that was scaring her. When I saw her fear I came back to my senses. . .Not completely but enough to make myself stop." He slowly looked back up at Goku. "I'd never want to do something that would make her fear me."

"And why not? Because you ``love`` her? Sounds to me like it's just a sexual thing."

He clenched his fists. "You're wrong!"

Goku pushed him against the wall and kept him there by putting the back of his arm on Vegeta's throat. "Am I?!" He put his other hand up and started charging energy into it.

Vegeta struggled to breathe, "It may have started out that way. .but. . .I've fallen in love with her."

The energy in Goku's hand disappeared and he moved his arm away from Vegeta's throat. ". . ."

Vegeta coughed and rubbed his neck. He then looked at Goku, "I don't just love her. I'm in love with her. For the first time in my life I feel complete. The emptiness in my heart has been filled. When we first started this quest, I honestly wasn't in the biggest hurry to find the dragonballs. When I found out that she was dying, all I could think was we have to find them no matter what. I would give my up my life if it would make her well again."

Goku's expression softened. "Really?"

"Absolutely. I'd do anything for her."

Goku's bottom lip quivered.

". . .Are you ok?"

"That was beautiful man." His eyes began to water and he hugged Vegeta tightly.

Vegeta's eyes widened. "Ok Goku, you can let go now."

"I'm so happy for the two of you!"

Vegeta rolled his eyes and sighed, ~Goku and his emotions. He never ceases to amaze me~ "Dude, what if someone walks in?"

"I'm sorry I got so angry."

"It's ok, you had every right to." He patted him on the back, "I know you're happy and all but do you think you could let go? This would look really questionable if someone were to walk in right now."

Goku let go and wiped his eyes, "Sorry."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Goku? Vegeta? Are you guys in there?"

"Kara?!" Vegeta ran to the door and opened it. Sure enough, it was her.

Kara smiled brightly, "Hey!"

Vegeta smiled and his eyes began to water. "Hey. . ." He couldn't believe it was her. All the grief and worry suddenly lifted and overwhelming joy came over him.

"Well don't look so sad."

Vegeta shook his head and gave a small laugh.

Goku pushed him out of the way and hugged Kara. "You're ok!"

"Yup. I feel great!"

He pulled out of the hug and looked at her. "I'm so glad."

"It was kind of scary when I woke up and didn't have any idea where I was but they explained it to me. Then this guy brought me here and told me that you guys were in here somewhere." She looked at the two of them and noticed that Goku had tears running down his face and Vegeta's eyes were watering like crazy. "Don't cry, you guys are acting like a bunch of women."

"Heh. Sorry." Goku wiped his eyes then stepped aside, "Well go on Vegeta, don't just stand there all day."

Kara put her hands on her hips and gave Goku an odd look.

"I'm so relieved that you're alright that I can barley move my legs." He walked towards her very slowly, his legs felt like jell-o. "You had me so worried. . .Next time tell us when something is wrong."

Kara sighed and let her arms rest at her sides. She looked into Vegeta's eyes and felt like she was going to cry as well. She had believed that she would never see him again. "I will. I pro-"

Vegeta put his arms around Kara and kissed her. She closed her eyes and a single tear dropped from each side of her face. After only a few seconds, however, she broke the kiss and looked at him, "You told him, didn't you?"

"He made me." Vegeta told her, trying to sound innocent.

She looked over at Goku.

"Yeah, I did. . .We talked about it for a while. . .It's cool with me."

She smiled and rested the right side of her head on Vegeta's chest so that she was still looking at Goku. "Did you tell him. . .everything?"

"Yes." He started running his fingers through her hair, "Everything."

". . .And you were ok with that???"

Goku scratched his head, "Well not at first but. . .Let's just say he made me change my mind about the whole situation."

She gave him an odd look but decided not to ask. "They told me that we should stay here for a few days so that I can rest. That girl cured me of the poison but she couldn't restore my energy. She said it could take a few days until I'm my old self again."

Goku nodded, "Ok. I think it would be nice to take a little vacation."

Vegeta leaned back and looked at her, "I wondered why you seemed a bit sluggish. Maybe you should take a nap."

She shook her head, "No way. I want to stay up with you guys."

"I think he's right Kara."

"You guys are awful! I've been unconscious all this time, I finally get better and now you want me to go to sleep."

Vegeta sighed, "Ok, ok. But you're staying with me the whole time."

She put her arms around his neck, "I wouldn't have it any other way." She pulled him close and kissed him.

Goku crossed his arms and looked at the wall. After a few minutes he got irritated, "Come on guys, knock it off." He looked at them and they were still going at it. He rolled his eyes and sat down. "Geez."
