At first, the women just shimmered. Then a brilliant blue light lit up around them, and even Vegeta had to shield his eyes. When they were able to see, the girls' figures were shadowed, though three tails were distinctly twitching. When the light faded, three full-blooded Saiyan women stood before the group. Though Bulma had requested they keep their hair and eye color, there was something distinctly different about them now that they were Saiyans. Something that made them that much more attractive.

Gohan smiled at his wife, then really focused on her and his eyes widened. He tried a few times and still couldn't say anything, so he gave up and just stared.
Goten snickered at his brother's response, then his eyes zeroed in on his mother and he nearly choked on nothing. "Mom?!" he asked, disbelievingly. Never before had he noticed how good-looking she actually was.

Chi Chi grinned at her son and wrapped her new tail around Goku's arm. He smiled. "Chi Chi. You look really nice."

Whatever she was about to say died in her throat. "What?"

He looked confused, like he said something wrong. "I said you look nice."

Chi Chi raised an eyebrow and shook her head. 'I could get used to this! Goku NEVER says anything about how I look!' She grinned and hugged him. "Thank you Goku."

Bulma wandered over to Vegeta and tickled his chin with her tail. "Surprise," she said softly. While his face was impassive, his eyes held the same shock that Goten's opened mouth implied. "Glad you like it." She winked as he went to grab for her and went back to the girls. "Not yet. I still have two more wishes left."

He leaned back and then looked at his father. "She's not a weakling anymore, now is she?" he asked smugly. "Not that she was before, but now you have no reason to say that she is."

King Vegeta was speechless. Never before had he seen anything like this. He looked at his guard, but Bardock was staring at the three women with interest.

Bulma made the last two wishes, again in Namek, but nothing as dramatic happened. As Shenlong's form again turned to light, Bulma went back to Vegeta, who was nearly beheaded by a dragonball flying away.
"What did you wish for?" he asked gruffly as she hugged him.

"Nothing much," she said, then backed up a little bit. All of a sudden she hit him with shocking speed. "THAT'S for being such a bastard."

He smiled and shook his head. "You're getting better. That almost hurt."

"Don't give me that shit. I KNOW that hurt."

Bra waddled over and held up her arms. "Mommy! You different!"

Bulma scooped her daughter up and hugged her. "Yup. Mommy different."

Bra wiggled, crying, "Ow! Mommy, that HURT!"

Bulma held the girl out at arm's length. "O, honey! I'm sorry!' She handed her to Vegeta. "I guess I don't know my own strength yet." From the next cry of pain coming from Pan, apparently Videl didn't either. "Shit!"
Vegeta quietly soothed his daughter, looking at Bulma. "It's not hard to control your strength. Just think about it like you're human again, then act like you can only barely touch everything."

Bulma held her arms out for Bra. "I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?"

Bra climbed back to her mother. "Yeah. It okay."

Pan was having her own troubles with her mother. "Daddy, tell Mommy how be easy!"

Gohan smiled faintly. "CAREFULLY," he said, using his own arms to pull Videl's in the right amount of pressure. "See?"

Videl cradled Pan and smiled. "Are you okay?"

Pan nodded, looking up into the full Saiyan's brown eyes."Uh huh."

A few feet away Goku gave Chi Chi a hug. She grinned and waved Goten over. He was still in shock, and Trunks would've nudged him, but the young prince was too occupied with his own mother's looks.

Chi Chi wrapped her tail around her waist and took Goku's hand as she walked over to her son. "Goten? Are you still hungry?" When she got no response she looked at Goku. "He really MUST be shocked. I said food and he didn't move."

Goku shrugged. "I'M a little hungry." Chi Chi smacked him playfully. Out of reflex, Goku went to rub the spot, then froze halfway there. He stared at her in amazement. "That... HURT."

It took about an hour for everyone to either get their senses back or to get used to the new ones. Videl was a little overwhelmed with her new hearing and sight while the others basically struggled with the tremendous strength. The men were impressed with the power levels of the women, and Bulma especially. She'd had a pretty high one to start with as a human, so now as a Saiyan, it had skyrocketed.

"All right!" Bulma said as she finally got her strength under control and kept it that way. "I am already sick of being hungry. Let's get some food!"

A round of cheers went up, even from Bardock. King Vegeta only glared at them and crossed his arms.

"You too, Happy," Bulma said. "I made enough food in there for all the Saiyans, including us. Even though I wasn't planing on having FIVE new Saiyans joining the table…" She batted her eyes at the king. "You can eat with us anyway." The others nodded and Vegeta smirked, bowing mockingly to his father. "Are you coming or not?"

King Vegeta scowled but reluctantly nodded. Bulma smiled and announced, "On to the kitchen!"

"So, what were the last two wishes?" Trunks asked as they took their places around the table.

"That we got rid of that tiny little problem about our tails getting hurt easily, and then to become first-class warriors," Bulma answered nonchalantly. "Which means we know how to fight too."

Goku's eyes went wide and he jumped behind Goten, who was hiding behind Vegeta. "Kakorrot, what are you doing?" the prince demanded.

"Chi Chi knew how to fight BEFORE she became a Saiyan. Now she'll REALLY kill me!" Goten nodded frantically in agreement with his father.

"Sit down," he snapped. Goku and Goten cautiously took their seats, still looking at Chi Chi the whole time.

K. Vegeta had his eyes set on Bulma, which she quickly noticed. She put down the dishes full of food and asked, "What is your PROBLEM? Is there ANY way to make you happy? Dammit, I'm a Saiyan now! And a goddamn FIRST-CLASS one at that? So what is it now?"

"You're not dressed properly," he answered simply.

Bulma turned bright red then stark white. "No way. I am NOT dressing like THAT again. No way in hell--" She was cut off as K. Vegeta reached over and stripped off most of her shirt down to almost nothing. "All right! That's IT!" Bulma stood and shoved the table out of her way, then punched the king as hard as she could in the center of his chest. He stumbled back, needing to catch his breath at the sudden ferocious blow.

As battle-ready as he may have been, the older Saiyan was still unprepared for what Bulma threw at him. It was simple kicks and punches, a few half-formed ki blasts, but the style was all hers. Living with fighters all her life hadn't gone to waste, and Vegeta's playful sparring matches were helpful in fighting the king. In no time, he was down, both of them battered and tired.
Vegeta grinned and pulled Bulma back a step, finishing the king off himself.

"Bastard," he said when there was nothing left of his father. Then he looked proudly at Bulma and said, "What are you all waiting for? It's time to eat!"

A hoot went up from Goku and Goten, but everyone else was focused on Bulma. "When the hell did you learn to do THAT?" Chi Chi finally blurted out.

"Vegeta taught me," Bulma answered coolly. "Can we eat now and answer questions later? I'm starving!"

Everyone except Bardock sat down. He stood, staring at the spot where his king had been only minutes ago. Vegeta eyed him, then stood and walked over, trying his best to intimidate the man. Only it didn't work well when he was a good foot shorter. "What's the matter?" he demanded finally, giving up trying to get the warrior's attention any other way.

Bardock looked up. "My prince. Why did you kill him?"

"No one touches my mate without permission, and especially when it is to hurt or degrade her." He crossed his arms and glared. "He did both."

Bardock shook his head. "I was supposed to protect him."

"A king is supposed to be able to take care of himself," Vegeta told him. "It was only a matter of time before he was killed."

Bardock knelt in front of Vegeta and nodded. "My prince, let me die with him, then."

Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "No one here will kill you. If you want to die, you will have to go elsewhere."

Bardock looked up, then his eyes took on a new light. "I just realized something, Your Highness. YOU are the new king!"

Trunks rolled his eyes. "Great. NOW he'll be even MORE of an arrogant bastard." He bit into a chicken leg, noticing he was the only one paying attention to Vegeta's conversation. Everyone else was caught up with Bulma's fighting abilities.

"No, I'm not. My mate would have killed him had I not interfered," Vegeta said sternly. "I should not take credit for killing him, so I am not the king." He looked at Bardock and motioned for him to stand. "Take something to eat and go back to wherever you came from." Vegeta turned and sat, ready to eat.

Bardock did as he was told, grabbing as much food as he could in giant handfuls. Vegeta didn't look at him as he left, but directed his attention to Goku, who had challenged Goten to an eating contest.

"KAAAAAKKKORRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOTTTT!"

Epilogue-type thingy

So Bardock kept popping up randomly on Earth. He terrorized Tien and Chaotzu for a while and eventually made his way around to Piccolo. Then he had the idea of sparring with Trunks and Goten only a year before Part 2...

[Some of you might ask, "Why didn't Vegeta care that two Saiyans popped up on Earth for no apparent reason?" Well, our answer is that he was hungry too, and being Saiyan, didn't care about anything else. The REAL reason is because it would spoil some of the plot later. Which means you'll have to read ALL of Part 2 to see. :-)]
