Raditz and Glitter flew slowly, neither wanting to talk about what they had just seen, but both feeling the need to. Glitter had less discipline, so she finally blurted: "What's Vegeta going to say? It seems to me like he likes Bulma...a little..."
Raditz snorted. Just a little? he thought to himself, smirking. "Glitter you have no idea... You remember the day you both came out of your space pod? I could sense Vegeta feel in a way I have NEVER felt him feel. I didn't think he was capable of feeling so strongly. There's a reason he feels that way too, you know."
Glitter raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and you're the expert all of the sudden? You know, he certainly doesn't show it. Forcing her to kiss him and tell him she's weak.he worries about HIS pride," she scoffed, disapprovingly, "and doesn't give a shit about anyone else's." During their fly, Raditz had told her what Vegeta had done to Bulma (that's how she knew.)
"Unlike you," she added, finally smiling and causing him to blush at his own thoughts, "You'd never force me to do anything I didn't want to, would you?" She sped ahead of him.
"I don't know..." Raditz whispered, watching her ass as she flew away. "I really don't know..."
Using a small burst of energy, Raditz caught up to his "friend" and flew beside her once more. He was about to bring up what she had said, but was cut off.
"Hey Raditz," she started intently.
"...Yeah?"
"Umm...what did you mean a few seconds ago? About how prince Vegeta felt so strange...?"
Raditz looked around, and then gazed at Glitter's perfect form. "When someone looks at their future...mate," he swallowed dry air, "...they get a strange feeling...Vegeta is just choosing to ignore it."
Glitter looked at him strangely, "He hasn't been nice to her at all. And he forced her...what are you getting at?"
The male sighed. "I'm just saying that the scientist is a good possibility. Vegeta has never forced anyone to do anything at all with him before...romantically that is. So he may either be going crazy from not finding his mate, or he may be trying to hold down his feelings for the woman because he feels that he is far to busy at the moment to take a permanent woman."
Glitter was silent for a moment. "Well then how do you think Vegeta's going to react?"
Raditz shrugged. "I have no idea what he's going to say."
********
"SHE WAS WHAT?!"
The left side of the palace exploded into a bazillion pieces.
Raditz felt layers upon layers of weight covering him, and numbly he started swimming out of the piles of glass, concrete and all out rubble. "Uh..." he mumbled, and heard other saijains who happened to be in the left wing do the same.
Vegeta's aurora sparked an electric blue and flashed yellow for an instant...but only that. "Tell me, Raditz," Vegeta growled, picking up his bruised friend from the ground, "Tell me that you are lying. NOW!"
"He...he's not lying," Glitter said, mainly to herself, as she clambered to her shaking knees and finally to her feet.
Vegeta dropped Raditz and made his way to Glitter. He stopped directly in front of her, and stared her down, straight in the eyes. "Say that again," he ordered quietly.
"I said, he's not lying," Glitter feigned confidence. "I'm sorry, my prince. She must not have been the one. There will be others."
Vegeta raised a hand to slap the cocky woman right there in the face, but saw a little of Bulma in the female's eyes. It was nothing related...not by blood, but a type of bond the two friends must have somehow created, like him and Raditz. Shaking his head, Vegeta dropped his arm, and turned around to face a field that was just beyond the forest behind the palace.
"Tell me exactly what you saw," he ordered, voice cracking.
********
Turlis was finally coming to terms with the fact that Bulma had to go back to the palace. He didn't want to...but he didn't really want to evoke the wrath of his soon-to-be leader. The King was stepping down as soon as Vegeta found his mate, and that was (or so the rumors said) supposed to be rather soon.
"Hey, Turlis," Bulma's voice interrupted his troubled thoughts, "I was just thinking...if you wanted me to...I would never press something like this on you...but I could stay at your place and I could walk to work every day."
Turlis really, really liked that idea. A lot.
Bulma was pleased at the excited expression on her new friends face, then looked curious when a frown covered it. "You can't walk...you know what almost happened to you in those streets."
He was rather shocked when she laughed. "What? What's so funny?" he demanded, slightly hurt that she would laugh at him for all that seriousness.
"Oh, Turlis! Don't get all defensive! I didn't come to this planet TOTALLY unprepared!"
He raised an eyebrow challengingly.
Bulma grinned. "I have all my stuff still unpacked, and in my room. Just fly me to the palace and I'll show you."
"You'd better tell me why," Turlis laughed. "You will NOT be walking to work unless I have proof that you'll be ok."
He loved to hear her laughter. "Ok, ok. I'll tell you. I have this thing called Capsule X. It turns into whatever I want it to. I'll turn it into a motorcycle or a jet pack or something."
"Liar. There is no such thing. Why are you lying to me?" he growled.
Bulma frowned deeply. "FINE! Take me to my chambers in the palace and I'll SHOW you Capsule X." Confidently she jumped into his un-expecting arms, causing him to hold her in a cradling position.
Turlis grinned and took off to the palace.
********
"Whoa.what happened here?" Turlis wondered aloud, floating lightly in the air with a shocked Bulma around his neck. "I...I don't know...well thank God I live in the right wing!" she tried to laugh. Turlis nodded and wondered why, as a second-in-command soldier, he hadn't been called to arms after the obvious explosion had taken place.
"Well...?" she demanded, looking up at the male.
"What?"
"Are we going or not?"
"Eh..." Turlis looked down at Bulma's exquisite face, "Second and third classes aren't allowed in without special permission...I don't think we should go-"
"Oh shut-up and fly me down to that window," Bulma demanded to the shocked saijain. Slowly he complied and opened the window for her, letting Bulma in right before himself.
He looked around. "Hey, nice place you've got here. You sure you want to give it up to come room with me?"
Bulma laughed as she rummaged through one of her many suitcases for one of her Capsule X's. "Yeah," Bulma responded, "Besides, I think Glitter may want some private time at some point in the near future. She's a saijain you know." Bulma tossed Turlis a picture of the two girls together.
"She's beautiful...." Turlis said before he could catch himself. Oh great, he thought, now she'll be mad at me...stupid, stupid...stupid! Oh stupid!
Bulma laughed. "I know! Isn't she?! She'll find a great guy; I know she will! She deserves one!"
Turlis dropped the picture and stared at her. She isn't mad at me...? She AGREED WITH ME?! Oh how cool is that...!
"Here we go!" Bulma declared, pulling out two tiny capsules.
"What the Hell is that, Bul?"
"This," she proclaimed proudly, "Is Capsule X. What should I turn it into to prove that I was right and you were wrong?"
He stared at her some more. Look at how self-confidant she is! his mind screamed happily, only his tail showed it though.
"Well...turn it into a...hmm...how about a..." he grinned.
"What?" Bulma asked, curious, "Turn it into a what?!"
"That can turn into anything, right?"
"Err...right."
Turlis walked over to Bulma, picked her up and flew out the window, straight over to the destroyed west wing. He pointed grinning. There was no way...!
Bulma grinned. "That's all? Put me down you monkey, and I'll show you!" Turlis still didn't believe her, and so he set her down at the site of the wreckage.
"Ok...one, two-Vegeta?!" Bulma screamed, as she looked the prince of all saijain's straight in the now shocked eyes.
"Woman?!" Vegeta yelled, not believing his luck. He felt slightly embarrassed about the mess around him but it didn't matter. Vegeta stomped over to her trying to remain angry. She mated, you idiot! Be mad at her! Make her cower at your presence! Show her that she is yours! Vegeta's mind coached him.
"Woman where the fuck were you?!" Vegeta demanded. "Your stupid friend was worried about you!"
"Who, Glitter?" Bulma asked. Turlis bit his lip. Did she know how dangerous the prince was?
"Yes, GLITTER," the prince spat, "Now what the Hell were you doing last night?! I TOLD you not to run around in your sluttish Earth clothes, but NO! You had to try and prove me wrong! I SHOULD KILL YOU FOR THAT!"
"Vegeta," Bulma said calmly, "I don't want to fight with you. I am still trying to forgive you for yesterday, so-"
The prince was in shock. "YOU try to forgive ME?! I'M STILL TRYING TO FORGIVE YOU!"
"Well YOU shouldn't have tried to rape me! Then I wouldn't have run away!"
Rape? Turlis thought to himself, Is that why she was on the streets? The prince tried to rape her?! His fists clenched angrily and his tail snapped back and forth.
Vegeta's power level shot up like a rocket, far beyond what Turlis' could. "I WASN'T FUCKING-!"
"WELL YOU WERE TRYING!"
Turlis couldn't believe she was arguing with the prince...and he wasn't trying to kill her for it!
"WOULD YOU LET ME FINISH MY SENTENCE, BITCH?!" Vegeta screamed, outraged.
"NO, BECAUSE THERE'S NO NEED FOR IT! Unless you're going to apologize, then I don't want to hear another word come out of your mouth!" Bulma then pressed the button on one of the capsule's tops and threw it to the middle of the debris that was once the left side of the palace.
"What are you doing, woman?!"
"SHUT-UP VEGETA!"
Vegeta fumed, then heard three consecutive clicks behind him. "Hey Vegeta," Bulma's voice laughed, "You'd better go check that out."
Grumbling, Vegeta took about three steps back, whirled and walked over to where the capsule lay ticking. He raised an eyebrow. "What the-!"
The left wing sprung up all around him. "WOMAN!" Vegeta yelled as he looked around inside his room. He flew out as fast as he could and made for the back door.
********
"Hurry Turlis!" Bulma giggled as they grabbed her things and jumped out the window. Bulma had used Turlis' test of truth as a good distraction so they could get her things together.
She had written a quick note to Glitter, explaining where she was if she needed to find her for some reason. She also explained in the quick letter, that she'd be coming to work everyday too. Bulma left it on Glitter's nightstand, right under the book she was currently reading, "Blood and Chocolate".
Turlis was rather quiet the whole way home. He didn't know what to say! He also didn't know whether he should laugh, cry, scream, be angry or what! The creature he held in his arms was magnificent, though. Of that he was sure.
When they finally reached his home, they opened the door, threw her stuff inside, ran in and slammed it.
After seeing his new roommate smile, Turlis decided what to feel. Both exploded into fits of hysterical laughter.
********
"So...so she was here..." Glitter sniffed through tears, walking down the new halls toward (to the extent of her current knowledge) her and Bulma's room. Why hadn't Bulma said hello to her? Or even good-bye?
Quickly she opened the door and slammed it behind her, erupting into tears. Slowly, she went to her grand closet, and pulled out a silken nightgown that she had brought with her from Earth. She found the saijian night-ware quite uncomfortable. Besides, she thought, trying to shove away the thoughts of her disappearing friend, silk is far better than long cotton pants and long cotton shirts! What's the deal here, anyway? The guys can wear boxers to bed, but the females have to wear thick, sweaty sheep-fur?
Slowly she climbed into her bed and looked to her left...to Bulma's empty bed. Glitter felt a few more tears fall down her cheeks, but brushed them away quickly. Stupid...she thought, picking up her book and opening it to the bent page she had made for a bookmark. Something was still on her nightstand.
Looking around, Glitter quickly grabbed it and opened it slowly. "Oh...!" she gasped as Glitter looked at Bulma's flowery handwriting.
She read silently.
Dear Glitter, Hey there! I found the fixed left wing.how could you miss it?! Boy was I shocked to find it! Anyway, look I'm sort of in a hurry-Vegeta's mad at me!-and I just wanted to apologize for not being able to talk to you during my quick little visit to pick up my stuff! Please don't be mad at me! Besides, we can talk to each other tomorrow when I come to work! See, I'm rooming with this guy named "Turlis"...after what Vegeta did to me last night...well I just didn't feel all that safe staying at the palace anymore. Anyway (again!) Turlis and I have become great friends...I think we have a chance together too! Hehe...this morning we got into a tickling fight, and I accidentally pulled the sheet off the bed (while trying to escape of course!) and he started tickling me with his hair because I grabbed the sheet instead of him! He's a great guy...and I hope we have a chance together...(pretend I'm sighing here) and so I'm still a virgin...I'll stay that way too...until I'm married!
Turlis is so nice! He's giving me my own room! I'll talk to you soon! (Hey.who are you into? That Raditz guy? DON'T YOU DENY IT! I KNOW YOU LIKE HIM! I'M NOT BLIND!)
Lotsa hugs!
Bulma xoxo!
Glitter smiled. "Until you're married? Sure Bulma, sure.I'll show this to everyone in the morning...Uh...so tired...stupid us...thought...Bulma was..." Glitter fell asleep, letter and book still in her hand.
********
The door slowly creaked open, as Raditz and Vegeta slipped into Glitter's room. Vegeta took a look around. "So she's gone...the bitch...!" Vegeta whispered angrily. "How are we going to find out anything if she's not here?" Raditz whispered back, urgently.
Vegeta looked at the sleeping female saijain lying with a smile on her bed. "Your girlfriend here might know something," Raditz gave his friend a warning look. "Don't touch her."
Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "Fine. Then you go get what she's holding."
"Fine."
Raditz slinked over to beside the sleeping woman's bedside and caught his breath. What is she...wearing...oh God...Raditz crossed his legs and gently removed the small piece of paper from her hand. He ignored the book.
"Ok, I got it, let's go."
********
"Ok, so read it Raditz," Vegeta demanded back in his normal, angry, loud voice.
"Alright..." Raditz began reading the friendly letter out loud.
"...Turlis and I have become great friends," Raditz repeated, "...I think we have a chance together too! Hehe...this morning we got into a tickling fight, and I accidentally pulled the sheet off the bed..." Raditz trailed off.
Vegeta looked down angrily. How could she...? "Go read the rest of it, Raditz."
"O-ok." Raditz went on. "(while trying to escape of course!) and he started tickling me with his hair because I grabbed the sheet instead of him! He's a great guy...and I hope we have a chance together...(pretend I'm sighing here) and so I'm still a virgin...I'll stay that way too...until...I'm...married..." Raditz trailed off and dropped the letter upon looking up at the prince's enraged face.
"Raditz...!" his voice raised as Vegeta powered up.
Raditz squeaked and soared out of the room going top-speed. "It was an EASY MISTAKE!" Raditz screamed like a girl, finally bursting outside into the cold night. Oh God please don't let him kill me! his mind begged.
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Vegeta yelled as he too came outside, hunting down his friend.
Raditz squeaked, getting into a quick fighting position. He'd let Vegeta take out his anger, then hopefully he'd realize that Bulma was ok, not mated, and just looking for a boyfriend in that Turlis character.
"I'm going to beat the livin', breathin' shit out of you," Vegeta hissed as he powered up and charged at his friend.
********
The two saijains lay exhausted side by side in the fresh morning light. Sweat poured down their bodies like rain and both were panting like whatever they were breathing was the last they were ever going to get.
"Alright...Raditz," Vegeta gasped, "Let's go...the woman should be coming today, right?"
Raditz nodded. "Right." And then, "Vegeta? Do you hear something?"
The prince was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, I do. What is it?"
"I...I don't know."
The men got up, tails limp and bodies heaving. The steady rumble got louder and louder. They slowly slid into their fighting position, blood pouring out of various spots of their bodies.
Both powered up as they saw something come up from the hill.
"What the...?!" Raditz gasped as he saw a strange, roaring machine jump over a small ramp like formation in the ground, land and skid to a stopping position.
"Oh that is a kick-ass machine..." Raditz whispered excitedly, and saw Vegeta nod in agreement.
"There's somebody on it..." Vegeta suddenly hissed, and then gasped when he got a look at the clothing the person was wearing, "Who...?"
The figure on the motorcycle put a black boot on the ground, and moved leather gloved hands up to the helmet. It clicked something on the chin of its helmet, then pulled the thing off.
Long bluish, aquamarine hair tumbled down from the top of her head as Bulma threw her helmet to the ground.
Vegeta throbbed. There was nothing better-nothing-than a chick in skin- tight leather.
###"Blood and Chocolate" is a real book! I just finished reading it and I loved it! I don't remember who wrote it...but if you want, go check it out from the library or something!

Review, review, review!###

She found the saijian night-ware quite uncomfortable. Besides, she thought, trying to shove away the thoughts of her disappearing friend, silk is far better than long cotton pants and long cotton shirts! What's the deal here, anyway? The guys can wear boxers to bed, but the females have to wear thick, sweaty sheep-fur?
Slowly she climbed into her bed and looked to her left...to Bulma's empty bed. Glitter felt a few more tears fall down her cheeks, but brushed them away quickly. Stupid...she thought, picking up her book and opening it to the bent page she had made for a bookmark. Something was still on her nightstand.
Looking around, Glitter quickly grabbed it and opened it slowly. "Oh...!" she gasped as Glitter looked at Bulma's flowery handwriting.
She read silently.
Dear Glitter, Hey there! I found the fixed left wing.how could you miss it?! Boy was I shocked to find it! Anyway, look I'm sort of in a hurry-Vegeta's mad at me!-and I just wanted to apologize for not being able to talk to you during my quick little visit to pick up my stuff! Please don't be mad at me! Besides, we can talk to each other tomorrow when I come to work! See, I'm rooming with this guy named "Turlis"...after what Vegeta did to me last night...well I just didn't feel all that safe staying at the palace anymore. Anyway (again!) Turlis and I have become great friends...I think we have a chance together too! Hehe...this morning we got into a tickling fight, and I accidentally pulled the sheet off the bed (while trying to escape of course!) and he started tickling me with his hair because I grabbed the sheet instead of him! He's a great guy...and I hope we have a chance together...(pretend I'm sighing here) and so I'm still a virgin...I'll stay that way too...until I'm married!
Turlis is so nice! He's giving me my own room! I'll talk to you soon! (Hey.who are you into? That Raditz guy? DON'T YOU DENY IT! I KNOW YOU LIKE HIM! I'M NOT BLIND!)
Lotsa hugs!
Bulma xoxo!
Glitter smiled. "Until you're married? Sure Bulma, sure.I'll show this to everyone in the morning...Uh...so tired...stupid us...thought...Bulma was..." Glitter fell asleep, letter and book still in her hand.
********
The door slowly creaked open, as Raditz and Vegeta slipped into Glitter's room. Vegeta took a look around. "So she's gone...the bitch...!" Vegeta whispered angrily. "How are we going to find out anything if she's not here?" Raditz whispered back, urgently.
Vegeta looked at the sleeping female saijain lying with a smile on her bed. "Your girlfriend here might know something," Raditz gave his friend a warning look. "Don't touch her."
Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "Fine. Then you go get what she's holding."
"Fine."
Raditz slinked over to beside the sleeping woman's bedside and caught his breath. What is she...wearing...oh God...Raditz crossed his legs and gently removed the small piece of paper from her hand. He ignored the book.
"Ok, I got it, let's go."
********
"Ok, so read it Raditz," Vegeta demanded back in his normal, angry, loud voice.
"Alright..." Raditz began reading the friendly letter out loud.
"...Turlis and I have become great friends," Raditz repeated, "...I think we have a chance together too! Hehe...this morning we got into a tickling fight, and I accidentally pulled the sheet off the bed..." Raditz trailed off.
Vegeta looked down angrily. How could she...? "Go read the rest of it, Raditz."
"O-ok." Raditz went on. "(while trying to escape of course!) and he started tickling me with his hair because I grabbed the sheet instead of him! He's a great guy...and I hope we have a chance together...(pretend I'm sighing here) and so I'm still a virgin...I'll stay that way too...until...I'm...married..." Raditz trailed off and dropped the letter upon looking up at the prince's enraged face.
"Raditz...!" his voice raised as Vegeta powered up.
Raditz squeaked and soared out of the room going top-speed. "It was an EASY MISTAKE!" Raditz screamed like a girl, finally bursting outside into the cold night. Oh God please don't let him kill me! his mind begged.
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Vegeta yelled as he too came outside, hunting down his friend.
Raditz squeaked, getting into a quick fighting position. He'd let Vegeta take out his anger, then hopefully he'd realize that Bulma was ok, not mated, and just looking for a boyfriend in that Turlis character.
"I'm going to beat the livin', breathin' shit out of you," Vegeta hissed as he powered up and charged at his friend.
********
The two saijains lay exhausted side by side in the fresh morning light. Sweat poured down their bodies like rain and both were panting like whatever they were breathing was the last they were ever going to get.
"Alright...Raditz," Vegeta gasped, "Let's go...the woman should be coming today, right?"
Raditz nodded. "Right." And then, "Vegeta? Do you hear something?"
The prince was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, I do. What is it?"
"I...I don't know."
The men got up, tails limp and bodies heaving. The steady rumble got louder and louder. They slowly slid into their fighting position, blood pouring out of various spots of their bodies.
Both powered up as they saw something come up from the hill.
"What the...?!" Raditz gasped as he saw a strange, roaring machine jump over a small ramp like formation in the ground, land and skid to a stopping position.
"Oh that is a kick-ass machine..." Raditz whispered excitedly, and saw Vegeta nod in agreement.
"There's somebody on it..." Vegeta suddenly hissed, and then gasped when he got a look at the clothing the person was wearing, "Who...?"
The figure on the motorcycle put a black boot on the ground, and moved leather gloved hands up to the helmet. It clicked something on the chin of its helmet, then pulled the thing off.
Long bluish, aquamarine hair tumbled down from the top of her head as Bulma threw her helmet to the ground.
Vegeta throbbed. There was nothing better-nothing-than a chick in skin- tight leather.
