Chapter 2
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this. I'm going to see some guy that, for all I know, could be a serial killer."
Jessica said as she started walking into the park. Her senses were on full alert as she sat down on a fountain to wait on Vegeta.
'That guy was really convinced that he was a television show character from Dragonball Z. I hope he didn't actually believe that I was a sayan. I mean I really didn't want to offend the guy, but I thought he was just role-playing.'
The slight sound of crunching leaves brought her attention to the presence of another person not far away. He looked like he was lost and seemed to be looking for someone.
She shook her head then let out a, "Ahem."
Faster than she could react he whirled around and faced her. She held up her hands in a gesture of peace and said, "Whoa, chill out dude. Hey I didn't mean to scare you. Are you lost?"
He let out a harsh noise then said, "You didn't scare me you merely startled me a bit. And no I'm not lost."
He remained in a defensive stance for a few moments more then cautiously came into the light. The sharp light from the overhead light post illuminated the guy's hard features. He had black hair that spiked up on his head and came to a point, (AN: you know how his hair looks) obsidian black eyes, and lightly tanned skin. (AN: Vegeta's not pale and not exactly dark so I say he's lightly tanned.) He had on dark blue spandex pants, white boots with yellow tips, and a tight fitting black muscle shirt. On his hands were white gloves.
Jessica's eyes bugged out. 'OMG! He looks just like Vegeta.'
His calculating obsidian eyes scanned her over while assessing her power level at the same time. He needed to know if this girl was the one he had come here for. Noting her appearance he immediately pointed to a negative with that one. Her hair was auburn (AN: reddish brown, but still) instead of the sayan's black or brown, and her eyes were green instead of some shade of black. Nope she wasn't the sayan female he came here to find.
Even though his appearance freaked her out Jessica was not one to let people eyeball her. Standing up straight she met the man's intense gaze with one of her own.
Dropping out of his stance the guy cocked an eyebrow at her; smirked, crossed his arms over his chest, and said, "Humph. So you are not the one I'm looking for."
Startled she said, "Huh? What are you talking about?"
He plopped himself down on a nearby bench, settled, then said, "I am waiting for someone that said she would meet me here. A female sayan to be exact."
She took a few steps back, but stopped herself from turning and running.
'Never turn your back on a sayan.' She thought as she calmed down. Then she leaned against a tree and thought, 'This guy really is Vegeta, but how? I mean he's just a fictional TV. character, right? That can't be. That man sitting over there is real flesh and blood not a cartoon.'
It was then she realized that Vegeta had been staring at her strangely for quite sometime. It was his what the hell are you doing here anyway face.
Before he could put words to what his face revealed to her she said, "I am waiting for someone too."
He blinked rapidly for a few seconds then said, "You may not be a sayan, but you sure have the feisty attitude of one."
Jessica's head snapped back a little bit. 'Did he just compliment me? The most prideful, egotistical, self-centered person in DBZ just gave me a compliment. Is he sick?'
He shook his head then said, "So who are you waiting for?"
She walked over to the bench he was on then said, "Do you mind if I sit down?"
His dismissive grunt was her reply.
She sat on the opposite side of him and said, "I'm waiting for someone that I met on the Internet. He wanted to meet me so I called his bluff and here I am."
Vegeta was quiet for a few minutes then he stood up and said, "Well I guess she's not going to show up."
Here he crossed his arms back over his chest and said, "I do not like being lied to or stood up. This female is going to die a slow, painful death when I get my hands on her."
Vegeta started pacing around the bench trying to calm himself down enough to fly home. When he was mad he tended to not e able to concentrate enough to fly. It was weird though. He could be in a rage and fly just fine, but if he was just plain mad his power would cut off till he calmed down. He didn't know why.
Making his third trip around the bench he thought, 'Where is that annoying female? She challenged me then doesn't show up to fight. The only thing I can blame her absence on is her age. Damnit! I need someone to fight with soon or I'm gunna blow.'
Then his thoughts turned to the small human female that watched him from her spot on the bench. 'At least I'm not the only one who was stood up tonight. I don't think it's right for a kid her age to be out this late alone. Whoever told her to meet them here and then didn't show must have either been very cruel or very stupid. I have half a mind to track him down and hurt him for it, but I'll let the kid handle herself.'
Then he thought, 'Very-amusing female, though. Not much of a power level, but I'd bet she has a worse temper than that Bulma woman if she's mad.'
He made his thirteenth trip around the bench then turned and started going around in the opposite direction.
He continued thinking.
'Why did I not just kill her on sight? Maybe it's because she's weak and so young or maybe she just isn't worth my time and energy to kill. Well then why did I tell her why I was here?'
Then something dawned on him. 'Wait a second...'
He stopped his circling, tuned to face Jessica and said, "Wait a minute here. When I arrived here I said that I was looking for a sayan."
Jessica cocked an eye and said, "Yeah, so?" 'Oh shit he figured it out. I can't tell him he's a cartoon, he'll kill me.'
"Well as far as I know no one outside of Kakorot's friends even know what a sayan is on this planet."
"And..."
Vegeta growled as he approached the female.
He said, "You have about three seconds to tell me where you got your information, girl, before I send you to the next dimension."
Jessica glared at him. She hated being threatened, and even though this guy was an all-powerful evil alien from some show, she was still not going to stand for his bullying.
She stood up, put on her fiercest glare, and said, "Now look here buster, I don't care how cranky you are because you got stood up by some chick that you don't even know..."
He opened his mouth to yell back.
"DON'T INTERRUPT ME!" (Insert big head. Scary)
He shut his mouth.
She said, "Thank you. Like I was saying.... You have no right to ask me anything, bozo, unless you are going to answer my questions too!"
Vegeta had stopped listening to the woman's ranting after she silenced him because he had sensed something. Besides it wasn't like it was the first time he had been yelled at by an angry onna. When this girl had jumped up at his threat to her person her power level went up at an alarming rate. Unless she lost her drive she would pass the Namek's level soon.
After about twenty minutes of ranting up a storm at the impassive sayan prince she finally sat back down, exhausted. If she had that kind of hidden power within her then what would her abilities be if she were trained?
Vegeta smirked. This would be interesting.
Whew, done. Man I thought I'd never finish this chapter. Thanks all of you for reviewing and continue with the good reviews.
This was my first fic to have Vegeta be one of the main focuses of the story so if he's a little off in character I'm sorry I really tried and I'll do better next chapter.
Realize readers that Vegeta doesn't realize that the female he met in the park is the same one from the Internet. He thinks she's just there for her own reasons. She does realize she met the right guy from the instant message and is quite freaked out. It is my opinion that Vegeta has the ethics he portrayed in this part of the fic and they are subject to change as time goes by.
Thank you all once more for the positive reviews and for being patient with me.
