Well I have yet another idea for a fic, this is an AU which takes place on Vegeta-sei. They are all saiya-jins, and 18, 'cept Raditz, he's 22. Warning: Begins as a Bulma/Vegeta/Kakarot triangle but will eventually be B/V and K/CC. I, unfortunately, don't own DBZ; I do stalk Vegeta though! ^_^
AN: Well this is vturnip folks and it is my turn to try and ignite romance in the hearts of these saiya-jin and tickle your funny bones. Not to mention create an interesting story. And I do it because I like to. P.S. I started this authors note to tell you the song in this fic is Gold dust woman written by Stevie Nicks performed by Fleetwood Mac. I forget who said it about Stevie Nicks but I saw it on TV and it went something like this 'when she performs on stage it looks like she is throwing magic/witch craft all around'. Now I do love Stevie's lyrics, her voice but I discount the magic and the witch craft. Now I do believe love is powerful. You will see how all this comes together. On with the show. ^_~
Carrots or Vegetables?
Chapter 3: Gold dust women
Rock on- gold dust woman (the women work their magic)
The song had ended Raditz kissed his mate on her forehead. "Come I must go now my love for you leads me into treason." Jadeis laughed "I'm sure it is not so serious and who would mine you having one dance with your mate during the festival?" "Humph" Raditz grunted leading his mate off the dance floor. He paused at a bench under a cluster of trees. The limps of the trees hung low to ground full of blooms that floated in the air. "What an enchanting area." Jadeis said. "My thoughts also" Raditz added. * a bit to enchanting for my tastes * "I will be back shortly and I swear any male who come near you." She silenced him with a kiss "You are so cute when you are jealous. I'll be right here " she said sitting on the bench "waiting for you." When the last part was said she tickled his thigh with her tail. Raditz flushed and with a quick nod he headed off.
Manga nudged her husband forward. "He is leaving the King now go on call him. "Now where I am going to find a mate for…" Nappa began. "Excuse me young man ." Nappa turned to see the Ox king. A noble who had gotten the title for owning the largest supply of king bison (the most expensive and relishished meat) on Planet Vegeta. * And probably for his large oxen like size too * Nappa thought. "Ah yes sir." "I noticed you just come away from the king." Nappa nodded. "Could you be so good as to set me up a audience with him concerning his son and my daughter."
Nappa grimaced he had heard of the ox kings daughter. Although she was pretty a beauty really she was also a hellious grouchy bitch. Which he had heard both traits she got from her mother. Who Nappa could see lurking by the Ox king. She had inky dark hair almond eyes coiled at her waist was a jet black tail!?! Nappa looked to her eyes then and for a second a brief second he could have sworn they flashed gold. Gold eyes were the color of those who practiced the craft. But that was forbidden. I must of mistook what I saw. *Ok that is a new one I am seeing things* Nappa thought. Besides that the prince had already found his chosen, I have a task to do and now this. Nappa could not ignore the Ox King he was rich, powerful and in the favor of the king. Certainly this way. Nappa all but dumped the two at the King. Maybe this would keep the King busy and that woman the Ox king's wife away from me. He could not ignore the eerie feeling she gave him. If Nappa would have been thinking clearly he would of never taking anyone he was unsure of to his king. But that was something he had no control over.
The kiss felt like it lasted an eternity. Kakarrot stood there frozen watching them on the dance floor. His chances with Bulma were gone now. He realized he was still holding the punch cups but now he was not thirsty at all. He turned to dispose of them.
* Oh my god he wants her! She didn't even want to come. And now this.* Chichi stood there watching her best friend kissing the prince. Her prince. * Well to be honest I only told her I was looking to become mated with an elite or another noble family. * But secretly I did hope for the prince because this would really get my family off her back. Although she did find him to be a little too short for her tastes but you never know he could have been the one for her. *God this kiss is going on for-ev –er. * I did want to talk to Bulma tonight. But between these men my parents and "what the fuck…
Nappa was surprised to find the Ox king's daughter standing right behind Kakarrot. At first he thought she was trying to get the young saiyans attention but he followed her eyes to Bulma and Vegeta on the dance floor. She was watching their kiss with a little more than average interest. * Humph so Kakarrot wants Bulma, Vegeta wants Bulma, Chichi wants Vegeta and Bulma wants Kakarrot. This is the shits. Let me confuse the issue a little, while completing my task for the king. * Nappa silently crept to Chichi then pushed her into Kakarrot.
When Kakarrot turned he felt the full force of a body slamming into him. They both fell to the ground. "Argh I can't believe this. Who pushed me." Chichi hissed looking around. "Miss there is no one anywhere around us. There is no harm if you are just clumsy it is ok no need to lie about it." Chichi looked back to the man getting up from the ground. * Uh no not him again. He is cute but he has no manners and is smelly. * "Turles how many got damned times tonight will I have to tell you I am not interested." As if on cue someone tapped her shoulder. "Did you call me." Chichi looked from one man to the other. "Twins?" "No , I am Kakarrot that is Turles we are related." "Ah sure." "No Turles please go" she shooed him off. When he was slow to move she added "go play in a pond or a stream or a lake anything involving water."
Kakarrot laughed "it seems Turles is making a name for himself this festival." "Yeah and not a good one. Look at me I am a mess." Kakarrot did, she did have pieces of grass on her and some punch but she was pretty really pretty. "You look great to me." She paused in her dusting "You can't be serious I am covered in fruit punch, dirt and grass." "Yeah that's true but if you poured punch on roses they would still be pretty and sweeter." "Ah thank you I think" Chichi answered just as Bulma and Vegeta walked up. Bulma come with me and help me clean up.
Take your silver spoon (Use your tools to work your magic)
In the ladies room.
They girls discussed tonight's events. "Bulma you mean to say you like them both. Yeah Kakarrot is sweet but Vegeta is is something else." "Hum yeah Vegeta does have his appeal" Chichi agreed "But I would have to say there is something about that Kakarrot too." "It seems as if we are in a mix" Bulma countered.
Bulma took a capsule out of her purse which unveiled an abundance of hair products. "I don't need all that." Chichi sweep her hands at the styling items. Bulma saw the golden color come into her friends brown eyes "I'll go lock the door." Bulma came back. "It's locked." Bulma nodded. There was a flash and Chichi stood there revised fresh and new.
"It is so not fair. I wish I could do magic." Bulma frowned. "Ah" Chichi sighed "it is a gift and a curse." "Only because of stupid laws my science is somewhat like magic but on a different level." Then an idea came to Bulma "Chi could you use your magic to see which guy is right for us." "Ah I don't know I am not supposed to." Chichi started. "But Chi you want to know too and you just used it to clean up." Chichi flushed "I guess so."
Outside
Vegeta was waiting with Kakarrot when Raditz returned. "My prince these are the parents of Bulma Briefs." Dr Briefs and Mrs. Briefs bowed. "Thank you Raditz good job dismissed." Raditz nodded and headed off. Dr Briefs said "Your guard tells us of your interest in our daughter." "Yes I would like to ask your permission to escort your daughter tomorrow exclusively." Mrs. Briefs let out a quick squeak before Dr Briefs answered "It would be an honor sire."
King Vegeta listened to the Ok king and his wife list the reasons to match their children. But he knew his son and the girl Chichi was not what the prince wanted. In addition to that king Vegeta wanted to get away from the Ox king's wife. Manga was a little unsettling. King Vegeta absentmindly felt for the royal talisman which protected him. * Did it just warm slightly? * Enough of this "Yes your daughter sounds to be a good match. But my son has already chosen." King Vegeta ignored the fallen looks on their faces. "But your family would be finely suited with another noble family or an elite." * Now to get rid of my son's competition. * "How about Bardocks boy Kakarrot. He is a royal a trusted elite * lower class though* his title is low but I would consider raising it if you wish to mate your daughter to him." "Very gracious your highness let us set for the two to spend tomorrow together" the ox king concluded.
And dig your grave (self explanatory)
"Ah Chichi this spell only lets us see what is going on now." "Let me try again. Wait aren't those your parents with Vegeta." "And your parents with the King." These girls watched as their fates were being arranged.
"Over all the gotdamn nerve" Chichi shouted. "They told me I would at least have a say." "That's better then my folks" Bulma said "They were like the prince or bust. Well at least we do like the guys they are pushing on us." "True" Chichi answered. "But we are still." "Mixed up about our feeling for each of them" Bulma finished. "What should we do Chi. They won't let us spend time with them on our own." "I have an idea B-chan." And a plan was hatched.
"Ok Bulma with this spell we would switch bodies and we can spend time with getting to know the guys our parents don't want us to be with but.." "but we would have to be get together again to reverse the spell. And who knows if we will be able to do that tomorrow." Bulma finished. They sat there sulking their perfect plan gone to dust when. "Theoretically this might work." "What" Chichi shouted. "You cast the spell in a solid form and I capsulate it then tomorrow we can undo the spell with out meeting back up. "Yeah we would just have to do the spell or I mean uncapsulate it at the same time" Bulma finished.
Pickup the pieces and go home
The girls left the bathroom. Secrets in hand, spells at heart and mischief to make in the name of true love.
An: Now this is a long chapter maybe the longest I have ever wrote on fan fiction. Either you will love me or hate me for it. It was fun, so I did not mind writing it plus I had to work the theme in. I did not use the whole song it fits but that would have been and even longer chapter and possibly a fic in itself. I wanted this chapter to flow with the haunting, witchy feel of the song. Do you like? Hope so. It's up to you my dear Celeb Ryu I give you the ring. "Keep it safe keep it secret" the LOTRs. Or would you rather "let the force be with you."
Gold Dust Woman
Written by Stevie Nicks.
Rock on- gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon
And dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise- loves- to go down
Lousy lovers- pick their prey
But they never cry out loud
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now- do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.
Rock on- ancient woman
Follow those who pale
In your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now- do you know how
Pickup the pieces and go home.
