Disclaimer: Now I wish I own DBZ but I don't, in fact I don't own squat just a cat with Halitosis, to be quite honest with you. I wish I could own Vegeta but I do not *insert a dramatic and sad sigh here*, but then a again they say be careful what you wish for and in that wishes case I'd think they'd be right! Oh and before I forget to say thank you, to those lovely people who reviewed my first chapter, "You are very nice people thank you." (Either you come from the same asylum as I do and know me personally and out of fear wrote it, or my mother is trying on her confidence building routine again.) So enough about that. First its humorous and then gets serious with the odd laugh and well just read on to find out what happens about the arrival of Zodiac..

Chapter two - Welcome to earth for the laugh of your life?

The Z fighters materialised out of thin air in front of the Kami house, where Chi chi and 18# where awaiting them. As they where approached they where greeted by Master Roshi. Poor Zodiac's eyes had the unfortunate mishap of meeting with the elderly human male's, causing the turtle master to lower his glasses to reveal a large pair of eyes that where looking her up and down. All of a sudden he rushed up to her, and shoved his face in hers excitedly, "Is this another addition to our group, at first I thought Vegeta was having a different kind of bad hair day, ooooooooooooooo I haven't seen a new and young girl around here in." He never got to finish his relay of excitement as Zodiac had stepped back, put her hand on her hip and her fist in the old mans face. Braking his shades which fell to the floor with a pathetic little cloud of dust which was closely follow by the OAP, being unconscious. After the dust cleared, and a shocked silence had filled the room, Zodiac became aware of the eyes that were all focused on her. She folded her arms across her chest looked at the old man on the floor and shook her head. Now Zodiac looked just like a female Vegeta where the facial features were concerned, just Vegeta with eyelashes. In addition, she was of an average height, with black baggy jeans, a ruby purple long sleeved top with a tight cropped black T-shirt over that. Her personality however wasn't that similar to Vegeta's as she was known to have a sense of humour, a very sarcastic nature and a quick temper to anyone that insulted her father. As you see Zodiac had travelled the universe with the highest respects for Vegeta, as all the stories, tales and legends she heard made her proud and the fear he had instilled in races made her idealise him. Not that she'd personally say that to his face, she'd rather insult him then make herself look weak in front of him. But something had made her think that all of what she heard may not be true, most of it but not all of it. The first thing she noticed was the son factor, if he had a son he had obviously settled down on a planet and not blown it up. Secondly he wasn't wearing any battle gear of which she had always pictured him in, she'd also pictured him a little taller, she knew he was short but it was really not what she was expecting, and third and foremost he'd fallen in love. A big kick in the teeth there, as you see, not only was Zodiac hoping for his undying attention and for him to be proud of her, she was told he was a cold hearted warrior, that was devoted to training and war. What she had found however was a guy married with a purple haired son called Trunks of all things and that he was slightly intimidated by this mate of his that he deeply cared for. In addition, this is what was going through Zodiac's mind: "Well all the others are intimidated by her also, and they have battle strengths twice that of mine. Now there is nothing that I cannot stand more than romance, especially romantic gestures it's weak, but surely, the great prince Vegeta is not romantic. If it is maybe, maybe it's a cover. Yeah to take over this planet with her, whose obviously a great warrior also, either that or his gone soft and it gives me some thing to take the piss out of later. To find out the truth I've got to meet her." Elsewhere Goku had gone over to greet his wife, as had Krillian. Chi chi however didn't seem to realise that Goku existed, all she cared about was the fact that there was a girl whom looked like Vegeta, that looked to old to have anything to do with Vegeta's wife Bulma, namely her best friend. Chi chi pushed a dumbfounded Goku out off the way to get a better look at her, inquiring as to who she was and where she'd come from. Krillian the poor little guy had 18# point behind him. Next thing he knew Goku was sitting on top of him, due to a nosy Chi chi. "Oh her, that's Vegeta's daughter Zodiac." The saiya-jin said with a grin on his face " Why what was your first guess" Krillian sarcastically cut in, dusting himself off whilst giving Chi chi dirty looks, " the fact that she looks like him, acts like him or was it the demonic features that tipped you off?". Gohan, who had been just observing all this time, sniggered adding a "yeah" to the conversation. Chi chi though, looked shocked yet disgusted at the same time turning on her heel she rushed indoors yelling "I knew he was bad news, oh poor Bulma, oh what a horrible man, he should know better." Zodiac raised an eyebrow at the sound of her name and sensed what the baka's mate was doing and decisively thought it best to warn her father, with of course a sarcastic smirk on her face, naturally. "Hey pops I think you don't have to explain me to your scary mate. The saucepan woman's doing it for you." With that Vegeta raised an eyebrow, Trunks looked scared and Thai could not help but hold back a giggle. Piccolo however appeared interested in Vegeta's reaction. "Grrrr, Trunks come on we shouldn't be wasting time here," Vegeta said through clenched teeth raising into the air, returning the Namekian's stare with a warning glare, "Oh cool does that mean I can meet this Bulma woman?" Zodiac said with a glint in her eye, her reply was a growl and a "you'd better just follow us" look and nod from Mirai. Gohan looked from his father to Piccolo who was standing in his usual pose. He watched them disappear, letting out a deep "hmmm" shaking his head with uncertainty.

They reached capsule corp. with Zodiac commenting on how round the place was until Vegeta let out a very loud yell of surprise, "What's my jump-suit doing on the driveway!" he was soon answered by a rain of socks and other various items of underwear belonging to him from a great height. Mirai looking like he was going to have scars for life, shook a pair of tiger printed boxer shorts off his head. They looked up to see a very distressed and emotional Bulma. She noticed them below, mainly Vegeta, for whom she yelled various nasty insults ending with, "I should have taken the warnings, I should never have gone near you, your nothing but scum, why, why?!" tears streamed from her eyes, her fists were clenched tightly as well as her teeth and in anger she slammed the window making the glass rattle in its frame. Zodiac looked at her father whom was just staring at the window. Zodiac felt anger over take her. How dare she insult him and have the audacity to throw him out, she had a good mind to teach her some respect. This however was soon cut short by the feelings radiating from her idol, confusion, pain and could it be heartache? He blinked and slowly turned towards her pointing angrily, "You! This wouldn't be happening if you wasn't here, it's you." He went to jump at her but Trunks stood in front of the attack holding him back. Zodiac was horrified, she felt she had to do something, to get into her dad's good books, its not like she'd planned it like this, in fact everything she'd planned seems to have been cut short by the truth. It was then she felt her father's power levels rising and hope returned to her in fact pure joy filled her, so some of it was true. However, this woman was ruining everything, she had not even met her. That's when the idea hit her, meet with the onna, explain everything to her and come across as the perfect child, get Bulma to like her and her father again, its not like he had a choice in her existence and hay she might be a cool step-mum. Zodiac looked from her father to the window and flapped her wings. She circled the building till she found an open window as Bulma was refusing to open any of the doors. She found Bulma in the lab crying into her father's shoulder, also Bulma's mother was trying to make excuses for Vegeta's actions. Zodiac took a deep breath and landed, when Bulma swung round. "I bet you're the offspring of that evil prince outside, you're the result of him sleeping with another woman!" Bulma yelled accusingly. "Yeah but its not like he had a choice in the matter and he did technically do it before he married you," "That's not the point he could of said and, and how could he not have a choice" Bulma said dramatically pacing and waving her arms around. Tears still flowed from red swollen eyes down now pale cheeks "If you'd let me explain the situation and what happened I'm sure you'd be able to forgive and accept all this" Zodiac cut in before Bulma continued to only be interrupted herself by Mrs Briefs. "Oh good we can all sit down and I'll make tea and biscuits, and then Vegeta whom I m sure is still a very lovely man, can get his dinner which has been sitting getting cold on the table." She said with a smile on her face. Bulma trying not to get her hopes up, sat down ready to listen and with that Zodiac began explaining.

Vegeta sat yanking large clumps of grass out of the ground with frustration, he had never been in a position like this before and did not expect it either. Then there was Mirai, who was leaning against a tree in deep thought when the doors of capsule corp. burst open to reveal a straight faced Bulma with Zodiac standing behind arms folded and smirking in her dad's direction. Vegeta quickly got to his feet looking at Bulma for some sign of forgiveness. Bulma looked straight at him, and slowly walked until she was inches away from his face. She looked him up and down and through her arms around him holding him as close as possible, apologies following thick and fast from her. He looked from Bulma to Zodiac in confusion to see Zodiac giving him the thumbs up. Mrs Brief appeared next to the couple as they turned to find her holding all Vegeta's things and examining a pair of his skivvies. "Oh good everyone's happy again and of course your daughter here is as charming as you Vegeta" she smiled again and disappeared into CC. Bulma and Vegeta exchanged strange looks, whereas Trunks was giving Zodiac a suspicious look, remembering master Roshi's experience earlier. Zodiac just shrugged and smiled back which soon turned into an evil grin. She put her arm around his shoulders and evilly stated "Dr. Briefs has given me a bedroom 2 doors down from yours, meaning I need a guide of the place. Namely you, *sigh* we're gonna have so much fun." She noted the look of blankness on Trunks face as he stepped away a little. She looked around Bulma looked relieved, Dr. Briefs was stroking a cat, M. Trunks was watching his mother and her father was rushing inside at the news that his dinner was getting cold. "Welcome to Earth Zodiac it looks like it could be the laugh of your life but also your new home." Zodiac mumbled to herself nodding appreciatively, arms folded and a smile on her face. "I could really enjoy it here! And that Bulma woman was scary after all, but not as scary as her mother, that Mrs Briefs."
