" Come on gaijin!! You've got a lot of work ahead of you!!"
Noelle panted a little more, then forced herself to stand up and trudge after Vegeta. She was so tired, but she didn't dare tell him that. She just got him to accept her to train. The last thing she wanted to do was give the impression that she was lazy.
" Coming Vegeta-sama." She ran a little to keep up with him.
****************
Vegeta had no idea why he had decided to waste his time with the American girl. She wasn't exactly the 'training' type. Her hips were bigger than his, she wasn't exactly chubby, but she wasn't skinny either, not to mention the fact she didn't even speak his language.
He glanced back at her. She was faltering along behind him. It was obvious that she was tired and her feet hurt by the way she stumbled like a drunken animal. If he was Gokou, he'd offer to fly her back to Capsule Corp., maybe even carry her.
But he wasn't Gokou.
" Move gaijin!! I won't wait!!" He started to move faster.
" Yes sir!!" She straightened up and ran after him.
*******************
Noelle was glad when they finally reached wherever Vegeta was taking her. It was a big, yellow, turtle-like building. On the side were blue Japanese characters that she didn't understand.
On the side of the building was this big, black and white sphere. It also had Japanese characters on the side of it. Noelle was starting to feel even more out of place.
" Gaijin!! Move!!"
Noelle was ripped from her trance by Vegeta's order. He was standing in the doorway of the house with a scowl on his face. He looked like he was aggravated with her. She hurried on to catch up with him.
Once inside, she was surprised again by the sheer size of the place. It was so big and clean. She wished she could stay there instead of sharing the small room with her surrogate big sister: Aina.
" Wow. This place is so big." She turned in a small circle to look at it all.
" I said move!!" Vegeta grabbed her by her arm and yanked her downstairs." Ay!! Hey! I'm not Raggedy Anne!!"
******************
Downstairs was a large lab. Noelle had never seen such a place. There were beakers and test tubes and Bunsen burners. Chemicals of so many colors. She was in awe at all of it.
" Alright, that's enough staring!" Vegeta yanked her on.
Noelle allowed herself to be pulled through the lab. He pulled her until they came to a desk with a woman with blue hair behind it. She looked up at them and glared. Noelle wondered if there was something wrong.
Well, well Vegeta, isn't she a little young to be under your sheets? She said.
Noelle didn't know what in the world she said, but she sounded either angry or mocking. She even glared at her some more. She wondered now if she was the butt of some joke or trick.
She cast a glance to Vegeta, who was still gripping her by the wrist. He was standing with his other hand on his non-existing hips and his eyes were closed with an arrogant smirk on his face.
You shouldn't be so bitter woman. Just because your child support case was thrown out, I don't have to pay you anything and I got you pregnant with two kids, doesn't mean we can't be friends. He managed to say all this with a sickeningly smug smile.
The blue haired woman growled and cast a glance over to Noelle. She bit back a gasp as all the attention was placed upon her. She blushed and looked down at the ground. She hated it when people focus all on her.
Who are you anyway? The woman said.
Noelle didn't know what she said, or what to say in return. She just stared back at the woman with an increasing blush on her face. She glared at her harder and stood up; slamming her hands on her desk.
Hey!! Are you stupid or something?!! Don't you understand typical Japanese?!! Answer me!! She yelled.
As a matter of fact. She can't. That is why she is here. This girl is going to be spending a lot of time here. And seeing how she is one of those Americans, she'll need to understand what we're saying. Vegeta was now holding her up by her wrist; her feet dangling in the air.
Noelle watched the woman's face change from anger to shock. After that she tuned out the conversation. They weren't speaking English and Vegeta hadn't lifted her up anymore so she figured they weren't talking to her.
She looked around at all the things around the lab again. Then she found a pair of robots in the corner. They were obviously malfunctioning because they were running into each other repeatedly. She laughed at them a little until the woman handed her something.
A metallic device was placed in her hands. It looked like a small silver ring. She didn't know what to do with it. Then she noticed that they also had them on their ear. She was about to ask what to do with them when the blue-haired woman placed it on her ear for her. She tinkered back there a little bit, and after that she stood in front of Noelle.
" Can you understand me now?" She asked.
" Um, yeah. I hear you just fine." Noelle answered.
" This thing on your ear is a translator. When we speak Japanese, it will sound like English to you. When you speak English, it will sound like Japanese to us. This way we all understand each other. By the way, I'm Bulma."
" Uh, I'm Noelle Pierce. Nice to meet you Bulma. Did I do something wrong? You were yelling at me. Am I not supposed to be here? Is there something I didn't do?" She asked.
" No. Just a misunderstanding. Now you be careful with this guy. He'll leave you barefoot and pregnant with nothing at all!!" Bulma pointed this at Vegeta who simply sneered.
" I will. Thank you." She said.
" Yeah, yeah, yeah, enough with the formalities! Let's get this show on the road! C'mon gaijin!!" Vegeta yanked her towards the door once again. " Ay!! Again with the yanking!!"
.... Japanese.
