12. The Morning after

Chichi woke alone. Yawning she pulled herself out of the bed and wondered where Jazz went. Usually she was such a light sleeperapparently not tonightif her parents knew she was so deadOn a desk she picked up a card and read it. In different handwriting then the letter she read: Had to work at 7 am. Left you to sleep more. See you at lunch, Jazz. Ps. It was perfect. She sighed as she cradled the note. Not even knowing she'd been nervous about those last words. But then again, he'd been SO sweet. And she'd been so nasty before to him. And Vegeta had been right. Saiya-jin were great lovers.

In an opposite room Celipa woke groggy. And felt like a steamroller went a few times over hershe rose and regretted it instantly. Ouchshe had bruises in places wherethey shouldn't berising she walked funny to her clothes. Damn menhe didn't know the word QUIT. Mister royal pain in the assas she thought of her rear she wincedokay so he did some stunts she didn't know were possibleshe should be able to handle itshe was Celipausually not alone at night on Vegeta-seiWHY did she hurt so muchwell dope you never bedded an elite royalthat's why. Walking to the shower she washed up and sourly pulled on clothes over her battered body.

-Oh Celipa?- his voice made her pausenow what. -Have you seen the clock lately? Beloved mate?- She cringed. Turing and gasping. CRAP9 am! And her shift started at 8! -Oh Celipa? Are you awake yet???- He nearly sung. She sighed and groaned.
"Yes Zornjust showered and pulled my clothes over my 'battered' body Zorn" She replied.
-Glad to hear your alive Celipacoming to the command room anytime today Celipa?-
"YES, just give me 10 minutes to move to the canteen and eat!" She replied soar.

-Oh? Wellgranted. Happy lunch- He snickering stopped transmission. Sighing defeated Celipa pulled herself together.
"Well mister know it all, would have done so with or without permissionshish." And walked out. Treading ever so tender.

Gokuu woke and glanced up at his ceiling as he felt someone warn asleep against him. An arm crossed over his chest and a plume of hair tickling his nose. Smiling he stroke it away from his face. She grunted and murmured something before sleeping on.

"Tired ne?" he whispered. Wellhe was partly responsibleone wild nightwho knew two super Saiya-jins could make such ahe glanced aroundshish looked like a blizzardWell he now knew why his dad called her sparkleit sparkled! From both sides! Her shoulders were visible over the blanket so he started trailing them. Sleepy she swatted him. Even in her sleep fighting back eh? Didn't his dad mention about taming? Well he obviously succeeded for more night only. He sighed as he mused about when he wanted her close againand what struggle it would beagain.

"Vegeta? Will you give me a hard time when I want you again?" he whispered close to her face.
"Huh." She grunted and turned over. Showing her bare back to him instead and sleeping on. He sighed again. Stubbornand sleepy. Patiently he trailed her from, from her ribs to her butt. Her tail flexed a bit. Just like a pussy cat, he mused grinning.

"Here kitty" He purred.
"Meow" She responded with a delay. Not awake yethe grinned. Could be fixedso he proceeded with his finger trails. Leaning in closer and kissing the nap of her neck. She grunted sleepy. But didn't swat him away.

Vegeta woke slowly and drowsy she turned over on her back and rubbed her eyes out. Focused blurry on Gokuu until all came back in focus. Not allowing her too long to think about it he kissed her and began the same routine as last night.


In the sickbay the doctors chatted as Jewel singing entered.

"Hi lovers, where's my pills?" she sung.
"On the counter as usual. Had fun?" she nodded and twirling took the pills, gulped them down and used water to rinse. "Buh-bye!" and danced out again. They snickered. A nurse walked up and scratched her hair.

"Could I ah"
"You know the way." She took some pills as well and continued her work.

Shy Chichi entered and peered around. Um
"Welcome young lady, how can I help?" the doctor asked friendly. She flushed.
"Umlast nightyou know" She glanced up flushed and waved down. He followed it until his eye rested on her lower body. AH.

"Follow me. If you need moreor more frequent, please say so,. We'll prepare a glass of water and pills." She blushed.
"WellI think"
"Oh nothing to be ashamed of dear. Normal biological function. Jewel comes in and out daily. I swear I'll give her an injection. But if we dowe'll get bored here" He shrugged as a nurse brought a glass of water and he took out the pills. Chichi took them, gulped them down and drank the water.

"Are you sure their strong enough?" she asked.
"Have you seen Jewel? At it for more then a year and still without child." She nodded. Proof enough.
"Thanks." And walked away. As the doctors and nurses eyed the otherwould Vegeta?


Vegeta woke this time first and glanced disorientated around. Where was shenot her roomEyed the sleeping male beside her and shook her head. Damnhe wonAGAIN. Nuff to drive a gal crazy. But not HER. and secretlyshe wasn't that cross with him. It was comforting to know someone could fight for herSTUPID THOUGHT. She was capable enough herself. Damned conflicting! Soar she rubbed her temples. Already she was giving herself a headachenew record"What a nightand morning" She hushed up as she noticed him asleep. Innocent as a child. And that about someone who managed to scare her shitless last night

"When I feel like it, I know your door." She mused smirking. Then who was using whom? There. Hehehe. As long as she thought about it like that, she'd be okay. She didn't like being attached to a person. Carefully she slid away and pulled on her ripped shirt. Crapsnuck to his closet and pulled out training pants and shirt. Barefoot she tiptoed out not even knowing WHY she tried hard not to wake him. Maybe she should have opened the shower on him. Preferably COLD.

Treaded like a ghost through the halls and fleeing from sight if someone came by. She hadn't even SHOWERED. Even the kitten she could care less about. After waiting for the coast to clear she sprinted through the hallway into the sickbay and quickly scanned the room, no Saiya-jin? Good. Finally relaxing she pulled the shirt better. She could do thisbloody humiliating and he should have taken a bloody pill, but she would manage. She jumped when a doctor came up and produced a glass with water and hand filled with two coloured pills.

"Need these?" weary she eyed the pills.
"One for the you know what, and one for the nausea." Before he knew it she handed him the empty glass. His hand empty

"Good" Whirled around and left. Stunned he blinkedlike this was as normal as a bath for Jewel at leastwhat was the big deal? Shrugging he joined his colleagues. Telling about Vegeta's jumpy behaviour. They added that to the complex Saiya-jin study they were keeping tabs on.

After a shower in her barren room she found a top and pants of her own and pulled them on with a vest over it. Pulled on slippers and picked up the kitten. Bardock had left a note he fed him. Nice of him And walked down the hall into the canteen. There she paused. Not expecting the group. Two nurses, Chichi, Celipa with bowls of ice-cream. They didn't even notice her until she walked past them to order some decent food over the tempting soft ice.

"Vegetaforget the healthy food, this works better" Celipa muttered tired. Screw work. She was on strike. His fault. Thinking only a second she cancelled the food and took another bowl of ice and a spoon. Flopped tired on a chair beside Chichi and Celipa and scooped three spoons down before looking around.

"Chichi? Did it work?"
"Like a charmbut who's sheet was it I found"
"Oh ours" Celipa replied. Groaning as she sat upright and hurt her back. "Male Saiya-jin pheromones for women is the same like an aphrodisiac" She explained as Vegeta just ate.

"Vegeta? You okay?"
"Nope"
"Glad to hear it. We neither. Have I told you I'm on strikeshould hear a bell in about a minute"

-Celipa? Are you comingthere is a beautiful chair waiting for younext to Jewel?-
"SHUT UP Zorn." Vegeta growled.
-Good morning!-
"Fuck you" Vegeta grunted back.
"Here-here." Celipa agreed. Clinging bowls.
"Girl power" Chichi managed before dropping her arms on the tablesprained another muscle

"You know that Toora guy? He's good" One of the nurses mused.
"Never slept with him." Chichi muttered.
"Slept with two guys nowfather and son. So there." Vegeta replied. Celipa laughed.
"You slept with Bardock too? When?"
"Years back." She ate more. "Stuck on a planet."
"Ah. Lemme guess. You were hurt, he patched you up while you wanted to strangle him. And he started his massage" Vegeta eyed Celipa.

"Oh yeahcould need one right about now"
"I fixI FIX. Celipa to Bardock, get your tail into the canteen pronto!"
-What ever for my beautiful team mate?- he asked back.

"Because I ASKED her too?" Vegeta tired 'nicely'.
-AH, and a good morning to you too? I suppose all girls are huddling together?-
"You bet SENSEI who slept with my best FRIEND."

-Ah my little Seito! So proud of you. You know, Toora can do the same? I'll be right over.-
"That's true I forgotTOORA JOIN BARDOPCK TO CANTEEN." Celipa stated.
-Comingshish. Some MEN work?-
"SCREW WORK GET YOUR BUTT HERE NOW." Vegeta joined Celipa.
-Wait a minuteSolan can do as well? Hell they did it, they fix- Jewel informed. Celipa and Vegeta eyed the other as both in tune wailed for Solan. The three men walked in chatting happily. Celipa eyed Vegeta who homed in on Bardockshe supposed Vegeta would only let an ex lover touch her.


"Toora? My backplease?" Celipa begged. Toora put his arms around her and pecked a kiss on her forehead.

"Aw you poor thingthat table will do." Picked her up and walked around Bardock who pulled Vegeta out of the chair. Celipa's nor Vegeta's tails were around their waists. Too tired and soar to even do that. Bardock pecked her cheek as she on her last reserves walked to a table and flopped on. Proud little thing. Cracked his knuckles he smirked.

"Well Vegeta, you deserve a 10 out of 10. what stamina to have the reserves to walk here. I'm impressed." She sighed.
"ThanksI guess." Solan bend over to Chichi who lay flat over the tables, her arms before her outstretched.
"I'm deaddo what you wantI surrenderonly to Saiya-jins" She grunted. Even her hair was still tangled up. Solan grinned as he glanced up at Panbuukin who strolled in. he paused to see Celipa out for the count and Vegeta who's tail flexed involuntarily.

"Vegetaif I massage there, remove your hand? I know your ticklish but I need to work that muscle as well?" she moaned and flopped her hands before her and lay in complete relaxed state. Giving up her dignity or ego. Her tail flat out between her feet.

-Celipa??? Your 4 hours and 15 minutes to lahaaat?- Instantly rigid Vegeta rose and waved her fist up angrily.

"FUCK OFF OR I'LL COME UP!"
-Bbut Vegeta? She has work to do- Weary of the threat he walked on eggs. Bardock flinched. Memories of him and a wall vividoh and her hand pushing him upgood thing he had his kidtalking about himwhere was he? Hadn't seen him yet

"SCREW HER WORK, YOU FUCKED HER UP, YOU DO IT! NOW BUZZ OFF!" Popping a vein she waited for a response.
-UmI'm sure Ronin can do a double shift-
"YOU DO IT MISTER STAMINA!" she growled back up. Before flopping down again. "There" she snickered content, but still tired and having NO reserves any more. Celipa lifted a thumbs up.

"You're the bestthat pointyeah press harder" Chichi had fallen asleep again as Solan continued. Panbuukin meanwhile helped a nurse out. The last sighed pitiful. Vegeta noticed and felt sorry.
"Bardockfix her firstI'll wait." Confused Bardock eyed her.
"You sure? Your pretty tense in the back" Ronin strolled in as his shift ended and eyed the group.

"Hey boys? This is a canteen, do massages, or group massages in sickbay" He snickered.
"Well your sift just went into overtime. Help that poor lady."
"Huh why? OHHH. I see" He grumbled not peeved but bemused. "I can fix up someone's dirty workgo figwell miss, lay down pleaseoops watch the bowlscareful you" He sighed as he picked the poor woman off the floor.

"Who messed you up"
"He did" She pointed accusingly at Toora. Ronin tusked.

"Not even helping the woman you slept with. Shame on you."
"Well Ronin I only have one pair of hands and Celipa asked me nicely." He replied. Curious Panbuukin eyed the woman he worked on.

"With whom did you sleep then?"
"Meat?" Vegeta and Bardock cracked up.

'He managed to leave Lola?" Bardock managed.
"Well we did it On her" The nurse stammered. "Was kind of nicethe vibrations and humming" She shy admitted. The others snickered.

"Engine room will never be the same." Toora stated lyrical.
"He'll never look at LOLA normally" Celipa snickered. Vegeta smirked nasty.
"He'll only have to lay down on her to feel her vibrations"

"Oh Vegeta" Chichi muttered tusking.
"Shush. Miss sheet-pull."
"Still have a bit, wanna smell?" Chichi offered.
"NOOO." The women cried as she snickered. The men cracked up.

"May I, on behalf of all men. Bid you our sincerest apologies for our pheromones?" Vegeta sat up.
"You what? You haveyou secreteAW SHIT?" Bardock peered over her shoulder.

"Didn't you know?"
"NO?" he frowned.
"Oh?"
"What?" the other girls asked.

"They tricked us." Vegeta stammered. Too tired to get angry.
"Well let me explain, LAY DOWN." Bardock shoved her back down and sat on her rear to keep her there. "Males indeed secrete a hormone that gets females interested."
"Interested he says" Vegeta grumbled under him. He leaned over her nose. She peered at him.
"Because woman only think of fighting, we have this neat time clock. When we gotto go, we gotto go. As to keep the species alive? Like we kinda need that? Really not our fault. It's our bodies fault."

"Then why don't females have that?" Chichi asked.
"Because females already are flooded with hormones, baring chibi's and periods. I suppose the evolution thought you had it hard enough. So we got that deal."

"Wonderful" Vegeta mused, being one of the last to pass out. Gokuu happily strolled in and paused. Alarmed he eyed around as Bardock yanked him outside.

"They look dead!" he cried.
"Look their not. Only bushed. Their asleep smart ass."
"Vegeta too?" he muttered soar. Bardock snickered.

"Even her, you wore her out son!"
"I hoped for a sparring" He muttered sad.
"Not today you won't. look I suppose you want food, we can eat and whisper. But only whisper okay?" He nodded so they returned inside.

Sourly Gokuu stretched and winced at a snapping sound. Bardock hushed him as the other men eyed him sour. All their hands were cramped up.

They tiptoed to the counter and whispered a plate. Even in the kitchen then people worked as silently as possible. One dropped a bowl of iron and winced as it rolling came to a stand still. Gulping he glanced pale up as Bardock covered his eyeseyed over as Panbuukin gave them the clear. On two tables the females slept on. Vegeta on a table in the middle where asleep Chichi and Celipa were parched against for warmth. Not that it was cold there. Just the touch of a living person. Vegeta had her arms spread like a martyr and lay on her back. Chichi and Celipa in the nooks over her shoulders. Sneaky Ronin flashed a photo camera. Celipa grunted asleep before continuing her rest. On another table lay the nurses. Also huddled together. Toora proceeded by ever so carefully trying to get a red bow in Vegeta's hair tip. Bardock sweat dropped and hissed softly to knock it out. Gokuu glanced up and paled. Waving his hand in a no motion. Toora ignored them. Celipa thud on the table as Vegeta's hand swooped and backhanded him away and into the back on top of three tables. Celipa grumbled asleep as Vegeta, also still asleep returned her hands. Celipa crawled back up in the nook and continued her snooze. Gokuu, Ronin, Bardock and Solan exhaled relieved. They crowded Toora who blinked up.

"Are you suicidal!" Bardock hissed.
"She could have killed you in her sleep." Gokuu growled on top of that.
"That temper eh? Didn't know that" Gokuu sighed feeling old.
"Look she already tried to smother me with her tail last nightshe's dangerous in her sleepthank Dende I sleep lightly. Even so she wouldn't have been able to do kill me. I'm too strong. Your not." Worried Gokuu glanced down.

"Did she hit you hard?" Toora rubbed his busted nose.
"Nah."
"Cut the crap Toora. She did it once with me and I had a broken nose. Stop fucking around with her. It'll be the death of yah."

"Aw come ON, just a girl. So she's a tad strong. Big deal." He rose from the table and cleaned himself. In the back the chef cook waved his arms with a board.

-FOOD READY.- Was written down. All silently stampeded over. All on tiptoes. Never wake a woman who could have a grudge. Which meant, Chichi, Celipa and Vegeta who could be most threatening of the five. Or the nurses who could scream nasal. Or do nasty things to you when busted up. Humming Zorn strolled in and instantly was hushed by the males present. He blinked then eyed the women who now were tucked under sheets. He tiptoed to Celipa who like Chichi was laying at Vegeta's breast. Cuteand tiptoed to the others and got his food.
