Bulma cocked her head to the side when she realized Kumberelle was staring at her. A devious smile crept upon her face, a smile Bulma was sure only Vegeta could pull off. It sent chills down her spine and made her extremely uncomfortable. She'd seen that look on Vegeta countless times, and before they were married it always made her scared shitless. She was well aware of the damage a Saiyan could do and that look told her not to trust this woman.
She returned her attention to Vegeta, who's expression appeared to be emotionless, like he was lost in thought. This confused Bulma. This should be an easy decision, right?
Not for Vegeta. Inside his head, the cold-hearted, blood-thirsty side of him and the sensible family man he had recently become, were having a mental dispute. Both sides had "reasonable" arguments.
- Ok,- he thought. - Take this chance, this once in a lifetime chance, to become a king or stay on this pitiful planet with the woman and the brat. Becoming a king might fill this emptiness I've been feeling, but how can I leave them? I am bonded to the woman...and the brat needs some good training...-
Kumberelle and Bulma kept their eyes locked on Vegeta until he spoke, "I've decided that....I need more time. Can you give me more time, Kumberelle?"
"More time?!" Bulma shouted, bringing her hands to her hips. "Why the hell do you need more time?! How difficult of a decision can this be?! You can not leave me and Trunks!"
"It is more difficult than you think, woman," Vegeta said, then turned his attention to Kumberelle. "Come back tomorrow."
"Yes, Prince Vegeta," Kumberelle said.
She bowed and walked out of Capsule Corp., but not before shooting Bulma that infamous Vegeta-like grin.
"Vegeta," Bulma said, a little calmer than before. "You can't be serious. How can you even think of leaving me and Trunks?"
Vegeta just grunted and excused himself from the table, walking in the direction of his beloved Gravity Room.
"I'm going to train," was all he said before he vanished from Bulma's view.
The blue-haired woman plopped into the nearest chair and began to sob softly, burying her face in her hands, while repeating mentally, -He can't leave me...he just can't.-
Just then Trunks walked in the kitchen and saw his mother crying. He put his hand on her shoulder, startling her.
"What's wrong, mom?" he asked.
"Nothing, sweetheart," Bulma said. "I'm fine, don't worry."
She picked up the laundry basket she had dropped due to the shock of Kumberelle's proposal and proceeded to take the clothes to the places that they needed to be.
Trunks sat down in the chair that his mother had just gotten up from and sighed. He was confused. He knew his mother too well, something just wasn't right. He thought that maybe his parents got into another argument, but that was highly unlikely because she was crying. Neither one of them showed any emotion except for anger after an argument, no matter how much the other person's words hurt them.
The lavender-haired boy decided that it must have something to do with the strange woman that was at his house earlier. Her ki was awfully low for a Saiyan, which made no sense.
-I'm getting to the bottom of this, no matter what.- Trunks thought, then disappeared to his room.
Somewhere in the air
Kumberelle flew in the direction her ship was in, slightly pissed for having to wait for an answer, but happy that he was even thinking about it. After she saw that he had a mate and child, she was sure that he'd never agree to her proposal, but when he said he'd have to think about it, she was ecstatic. She'd been feeling empty after her father's death and she felt that maybe Vegeta could help fill that emptiness.
In the back of her mind she knew that there wasn't a good possibility that he'd come with her. He was bonded to Bulma and it would be hard to tear him away from her.
She landed on a tree branch and picked an apple.
- That blue-haired abomination is going to be a problem. I must think of a way to rid of her.-
She sat down on the branch, letting her tail move freely with the wind. Within seconds she had finished her 3rd apple and had started another one. Suddenly, she stood up.
"I got it!" she exclaimed. "I know just how to get rid of her!"
Orange Star High School
Videl smiled as she slept in Algebra class. They were supposed to be using this part of class to do their homework, but instead Videl took this opportunity to take a much needed nap. The party from last night really wore her out and the dream that she was having was making up for the loss of sleep.
*~*Videl crossed her arms and smirked as she looked at what she'd created. At her feet was Lucy and about 20 of her friends tied together, screaming for help.
"Please, Almighty Videl," Lucy pleaded. "Please spare our worthless lives. Please! I beg of you, your highness." (A/N: I just had to throw in the "Almighty" and "your highness" stuff. Don't ask me why....)
Videl threw her head back and laughed, an evil laugh that scared Lucy even more.
"Now, why would I want to do that?" Videl said. "You WERE trying to steal the man of my dreams."
"But they weren't, your highness," Lucy said. "They're just my friends."
"All the more reason to kill them, too."
Videl walked away and couple minutes later came back with some lighter fluid. She poured it all over their bodies causing to scream once again, and then lit a match.
"You're not going to burn us to death, are you?" Lucy said, now so scared she probably shit on herself.
"Nonsense," Videl said.
Lucy smiled with relief, "Really?"
"No," Videl said, shaking her head. "The fire's going to do that for me."
Videl dropped the lit match and immediately smiled as the girls began to scream in agony. She threw her head back and laughed again, her hands on her hips. Soon the fire was out and only a pile of preppy ash was left.
Suddenly, Videl felt a familiar ki approaching. Everything suddenly became black as she heard footsteps in her direction.
"Who's there?" Videl called.
There was no answer except for the footsteps growing closer and closer to her. The darkness got lighter with every step that this mysterious person took, but she couldn't quite make out who this person was and why this ki was so familiar to her.
The person was now directly in front of her and without warning, leaned down and kissed her softly. When the person pulled away, Videl could now see clearly who the person was. In front of her was a grinning Son Gohan.
Videl smiled back and they began to kiss again, making her dream even more enjoyable than before. *~*
"Gohan..." Videl moaned in her sleep, only soft enough for Gohan's advanced hearing to pick up.
Gohan turned to the sleeping beauty on his left and cocked an eyebrow. -What the hell is she dreaming about?-
"Gohan?" Lucy said in a tone that only a spoiled brat who was used to being the center of attention would use. "Hello? Are you even listening to me?"
Gohan snapped his head back to Lucy, who was now at his right. She had switched places with Erasa so that they could talk about their date. "Uh...yeah...of course I was listening. Go on."
Lucy immediately turned into her cheerful self and smiled. "Ok, so like, on our date..."
That was all Gohan heard. His mind was in other places, mainly involving Videl. He was mentally scolding himself for letting Videl get him a date with this girl, while uttering an occasional, "uh huh" or "ok" as she talked. He had thought that Lucy was pretty on the outside, which she was, but now he was beginning to see why she seemed to have a new boyfriend ever other week. This girl was just too damn happy! And she never shut up!
Videl smiled as her dream continued but was interrupted by a voice coming from her watch.
"Videl?" The voice called. "Miss Videl?"
Videl's head shot up at the sound of her name. She rubbed her eyes and looked down at her watch.
"Yes?" she replied, groggily.
"We have a bank robbery in progress, Miss Videl," the voice, whom Videl recognized as the chief of police, said.
"I'll be right there." - Damn bank robbers. I was having a nice dream.-
Videl got up and walked down to the front of the class and asked the teacher's permission to leave. Once he nodded yes, she walked to the door and shot Gohan a look that said, "Come if you want."
Videl knew most likely he would be there dressed as the Great Saiyaman. Everyone was still oblivious to the fact that he was the Great Saiyaman, the Gold Fighter, and the real person who defeated Cell except for her and the Z gang and she liked it that way. It made her feel special, like she had a special connection with Gohan that no other person had. It also made her happy to know that he cared that much for her and left class to make sure she didn't get hurt, even though he knew she'd most likely take care of everything herself. She hoped to Dende that he'd help her this time because she hated to see Lucy hanging on him.
Gohan was about to go to the teacher's desk and ask for his permission to go to the bathroom so that he could escape to help Videl, but Lucy held onto his arm.
"Could you let go so that I could step out for awhile?" Gohan asked sweetly.
"Why?" Lucy asked. "Do you want to get away from me? Why do you want to leave me?" Tears welled up in her blue eyes and her lower lip began to quiver.
"Lucy, I just-"
"You just want to leave me!"
The tears were now coming full force and she was wailing loudly. Everyone in the room looked up and began to laugh.
"Please, Lucy," Gohan whispered. "Stop crying, your making a scene."
"But you said you'd leave me!" Lucy cried.
"I just want to go to the bathroom!" Gohan shouted back, now frustrated. Everyone else laughed harder.
"You can go Gohan," the teacher said, smirking. "If it's really that serious, you can go. And Lucy, please control your outbursts."
Lucy smiled and wiped her tears. "Kay!"
Gohan growled under his breath and walked out of the door. - Women.-
Gohan rushed to the roof and changed into his green Saiyaman costume. He expanded his senses and found Videl's ki approaching the school. -Wow, she's done with that robbery already?-
He floated down to the front of the school just as Videl was approaching it.
"You handled it that quick?" Gohan asked.
"Yep," Videl said. "The bank was right down the street and the thief was some puny girl that could barely keep the gun up, let alone defend herself against me. What took you so long?"
"Well.. I... uh... you see...Lucy was-"
"Oh, I get it. You couldn't pull yourself away from her, could you?"
"Videl it's not like that-"
"Bull shit! I should've known how you'd act once you got a girlfriend. You don't have time for friends now that you have her."
"She's not even my girlfriend!"
The last part Videl didn't hear because she was already inside of the school. Gohan sighed and smacked himself. -Every time I open my mouth....-
Later, at the Son house
Gohan walked into his dome shaped house sad and sullen, his back pack over his right shoulder.
His parents were watching something on TV. Apparently it was good because they didn't even look up when they told their oldest child hello.
Goten came running in shouting, "Gohan's home!"
"Shhhh...." Chichi and Goku said in unison.
Gohan forced a smile as Goten jumped on him and wrapped his arms tightly around his neck.
"Goten....ease up there...squirt," Gohan choked out, the color slowly draining from his face. "You've..... kind of.... got a tight grip... on me."
Goten jumped down and the color immediately returned to Gohan's face. Goten blushed and rubbed the back of his head, "Heh. Sorry, brother."
- Damn you look like dad, Goten.- (Gohan)
"Gohan!" Goku's mini-me said. "Guess what I did today!"
"What did you do, squirt?" Gohan tried to sound interested but failed.
"Meanddadwentfishingandwecaughtabigfishbiggerthanyouevenandthenwewenttoseekrillinand18andyamchaandmasterroshiandthenwecamehomeandateandgrampacameoverandthegrownupswastalkingandiwasboredbutdaddytookmeforicecreamand-" (A/N: Translation: Me and dad went fishing and we caught a big fish, bigger than you even and then we went to see Krillin and18 and Yamcha and Master Roshi and then we came home and ate and Grampa came over and the grownups was talking and I was bored but daddy took me for icecream and-)
"Ok, Goten," Gohan interrupted. "I get the point."
"But I'm not finished!" Goten pouted.
"Tell me later, squirt. I have homework to do."
It wasn't a lie, he did have homework to do, but it wasn't like it would take longer than 5 minutes to do it.
"Aww man," Goten said as Gohan disappeared into his room. "Oh well."
Goten ran over and jumped in between his parents on the couch.
Goku noticed the change in his oldest son's behavior and brought two fingers up to his forehead.
"Be right back, Chi," he said before he used the Instant Transmission technique and appeared in Gohan's room.
"Dad!" Gohan shouted when Goku appeared literally out of thin air right before him, startling him. "Warn me, before you do that!"
"Sorry, Gohan," Goku said. "But I had a feeling you were down today. Is something wrong?"
Gohan sighed and plopped onto his bed. He didn't feel like talking about it, but he knew it would make him feel better if he did. His dad always had a way of making him feel better by his constant optimistic outlook about everything and this might be his last chance to get his father's advice.
He then told Goku everything, how he told Videl that he liked Lucy instead of her and about how Videl got him a date with her which was supposed to take place on Friday. He also told him about the biggest reason he was depressed, because Videl accused him of not being a good friend. He didn't know why, but her being mad at him really hurt him.
"Wow," Goku said. "Sounds to me like she really does like you. She sounds a bit jealous to me." (A/N: Goku's not an idiot after all.)
"If that was true," Gohan said. "Then why would she set me up with Lucy in the first place?"
"Maybe she really thought that that was what would make you happy, and being the good friend that she is, she wanted to see you happy no matter how much it would hurt her."
"I don't think so, dad. Plenty of guys like her, why would she like me?"
Goku inwardly shook his head. -When will he learn?- "Just think about it, son."
He walked over to Gohan and put his hand on his shoulder. "Tomorrow, why don't you apologize to her. Tell her that you never meant to hurt her in anyway. And go on this date. One date couldn't hurt. Could it?"
Gohan sighed. His father had a point. "No, I guess not."
"Then, tell Videl you're true feelings."
"But what if she hates me for lying to her? What if she doesn't feel the same way?"
"That's the risk you're just going to have to take."
Gohan nodded. "Thanks for the advice, dad."
"No problem, son."
Goku smiled his trademark smile before Instant Transmissioned into the living room.
Gohan laid back on his bed but shot back up when he heard his mother scream.
"Goku!" Chichi screamed. "Don't do that!"
Goku rubbed the back of his head and grinned. "Sorry, Chi."
Satan Mansion
"Stupid Gohan!" Videl shouted while slamming her bedroom door and tossing her backpack into a chair. "Stupid preppy bitch..."
She sat down on her bed and out of anger and frustration she screamed and threw the nearest object at the wall. It cracked into a couple pieces, sounding like glass shattering.
Videl sighed. - Can't let the maids see this, they'll ask questions.-
She got up and knelt down to clean up her mess. She picked up a few pieces and gasped when she saw what it was.
In her hands was a wooden photo frame that once held three pictures in it. She held up one of the pictures and smiled. It was a picture of Videl, arms crossed, cocking an eyebrow at Gohan who was rubbing the back of his neck and grinning nervously. She began to chuckle lightly remembering that day.
*It was a sunny day, the day that Gohan introduced Videl to his family. Everything had gone smoothly after dinner at his house and after his mother got over the fact that they were just friends and wouldn't be having her grandchildren anytime soon. But 2 little half-Saiyans ruined it.
Trunks was playing with his new camera, the kind where the picture comes out instantaneously, and was taking pictures of everything in sight. He already took a picture of his parents, Chichi, 3 of Goten, Gohan, and tried to take one of himself, but all that could be seen was a blurry image of his lavender hair.
"Trunks," Gohan said. "Put that thing away and stop taking pictures."
"Why?" Trunks asked. "I want to get one of you and your girlfriend!"
Goten snickered while Videl and Gohan blushed, Gohan more so than Videl. Trunks took that opportunity to get a picture of Gohan.
"Perfect," Trunks said. "Nice shade of red, Gohan."
Now Gohan blushed redder, but not because of embarrassment, but because of anger. He chased Trunks around the kitchen table they were all sitting at.
"Help, Goten!" Trunks shouted as they made their way around the table a 3rd time.
"No way!" Goten said. "You're on your own."
Gohan continued to chase Trunks. Videl decided that was enough of the childishness and stood in front of Gohan. He ran into her, but instead of just getting knocked down by the force, Videl got knocked backward into a wall.
"Ouch," she said, rubbing her head as Gohan hurried over and helped her up. "What are you, a brick wall?"
Goten snickered. "That's cuz of the Saiyan in him."
Trunks went over to his best friend and whispered, "Goten, Gohan hasn't told her about Saiyans yet, so shut up."
"Saiyan?" Videl said, once she regained her composure. "What's that?"
Gohan grinned and rubbed the back of his neck. "Kids say the weirdest things...."
He began to grin nervously and Videl cocked an eyebrow at him.
Another perfect opportunity for Trunks. He brought the camera up to his face and snapped a picture of them.
"That should be a good one," he said. "Here, Videl, you keep it. I sense my time on Earth is almost up."
Trunks looked at the angry look on Gohan's face and quickly handed the picture to Videl and ran for his life again, this time with Goten behind him, running to tell his mother.
Videl smiled when the picture developed and stuck it in her pocket.*
Videl put that picture aside and looked at the next one. The second picture was of her and her father after the Cell Games. Her father had his hands on his hips, smiling that huge, goofy grin that most of the us DBZ fans hate, and little Videl was smiling up at her father, her blue eyes shining with pride.
Videl cringed as she thought about how she fell for that lie. She was only a child, and it was her father, but she still hated herself for falling for that lie. She was now ashamed that her father was a fraud and even more ashamed that the people of the world were still being deceived. She remembered how stupid he reacted when she told him that she knew that Gohan defeated Cell.
"It was all those silly tricks and light shows that makes you think that, honey," Hercule had said. "He couldn't have beat Cell. I'M the World Champion!"
Videl just rolled her eyes. She decided that photo wasn't worth keeping and put in her trash pile along with the pieces of shattered glass and wood.
The last photo was of Videl and her mother. Her mother looked exactly like Videl, except her black hair went to her waist. Videl was sitting on her mother's lap, their identical blue eyes shining with joy. The picture was taken the day that her mother died.
Videl shook her head, not wanting a flashback to occur. She wiped away the tear that had managed to escape her eyes. She didn't want to dwell on a painful memory that not even Gohan nor Erasa knew about. It was just too hard to do and she promised herself she'd never cry for her again.
Videl finished cleaning up the mess and hung up the pictures on her wall, all except for the one with her father in it. When she was done she laid down on her bed and began to think about her life.
The life she had when she was younger was totally different from the life she had now. Her life with both of her parents was full of love, but once her mother died, it turned into the exact opposite. Her father would become depressed and so would she. They barely said a word to each other, but then the Cell Games came, and once again everything changed. Her father began to spoil her, which made her happy for awhile, but then she realized that there was more to life than just fame and fortune. She missed her father, who now filled his life with martial arts and cheap sluts. She became depressed again and filled that void with martial arts, in hopes of proving to her father that she was still alive with something they both could relate to, and ended up loving it. Soon after that she began to fight crime.
Then she met Son Gohan. Gohan filled her life with everything, someone to talk to, someone to have fun with, and someone to spar with. Sure, she always had Erasa, but she could relate to Gohan more. She totally trusted him, possibly the only person that she trusted, but he was still unaware of the story about her mother. She'd change the subject whenever he brought it up, but she vowed that one day he would know the truth. He was, after all, her crush, and her best friend.
C.C.
~Vegeta~ Bulma said through their bond. ~Time for dinner.~
Her voice lacked the usual cheerfulness and Vegeta knew exactly why. She was upset that Vegeta had to ponder the idea of leaving his family to go rule some planet.
(Vegeta) -She has to understand this. I'm a Saiyan, always have been and always will be. We crave fighting, superiority, any boost to our pride. She just has to understand this.-
Vegeta sat down at the table just as Bulma was sitting down. Trunks was already digging into his food as Bulma began to eat hers slower than usual. Vegeta noticed this and talked to her through their bond while eating.
~ Listen, woman. I'm 2 people now. As much as I hate to admit it, I have a human side as well as a Saiyan side. My human side wants to stay but my Saiyan blood is craving adventure.~
~I don't care, Vegeta. You have a wife and kid now, you have responsibilities. You can't just throw that away for some "adventure."~
~But my Saiyan pride- ~
~Forget your Saiyan pride for once!~
~But I can't forget it! It's my heritage, woman! It's what makes me, me! How would you feel if I told you to forget those silly inventions or whatever it is that you do! It's not fair, woman!~
~That's totally different, Vegeta.~
~How so?~
~Your "Saiyan pride" can cause you to leave us. Your "Saiyan pride" can cause you to destroy people, planets, anything to prove that you're the best. Nothing good comes from that damn "Saiyan pride" of yours!~
~That's not true...~
~Well until you can prove it to me, I rest my case.~
~I don't need this! I don't need you nor the kid!~
~But we're here! Therefore, you do need to take care of us! You need me at least! I'm fucking bonded with you!~
~This discussion is over.~
With that being said, Vegeta slapped a block on their telepathic communication and excused himself to go to train.
- How does he do that right when I'm winning?- (Bulma)
Somewhere of in the distance
Kumberelle laid on the ground by her ship, still contemplating her plan for getting rid of Bulma. It was really risky. She knew that without his mate, Vegeta would never be the same. His power would go down drastically, but she needed him. She needed him to fill the hollowness in her heart. She needed him to be her king, her mate.
- I can't back down. This is what I need to be complete again.-
She stood up and brushed herself off, getting ready to go with her plan.
Back at the Son house
Gohan yawned and stretched in his bed. He couldn't sleep knowing that Videl was mad at him. He just hurt too much and every time he got to sleep he saw the hurt in Videl's eyes before she took off into the school that day. Seeing Videl hurt made him hurt 10 times worse.
He looked over at the clock. It read 1:30 a.m. - Great, now I'll only get 5 hours pf sleep.-
He got out of bed and decided to get on the laptop computer to check his email. The laptop had been a birthday present from Bulma the year before and he thanked her for it every chance he got. It always helped him relieve boredom, stress, or whatever was bothering him.
He logged onto AOL on his screen name, SuperScholar01, and checked his email. - Let's see. Mail from Bulma, Krillin, Yamcha, BlueAngelL? Who's that?-
He opened the email from BlueAngelL and it read:
Hey, cutie! I got your email address from Erasa! It's that great! Anyway, I just wanted to remind you about our date on Friday! The movie starts at 7 but meet me at the Cineplex at 6:40 to make sure that we get good seats! Luv ya, cutie!
- Lucy : )
Gohan rolled his eyes at all the exclamation points. -This girl is even happy on email!-
He continued to check his email. Disappointed that there was no email from Videl, he was about to log off when the sound of a door opening caught his attention. He looked over at his Buddy List and saw that SpawnOfSatan, Videl's screen name, had just logged on. He sent her an instant message and their conversation went as follows:
SuperScholar01: Hey, Videl. What are you doing up so late?
SpawnOfSatan: I don't know. Couldn't sleep. How bout you?
SuperScholar01: Same.
SpawnOfSatan: Listen, Gohan. I'm sorry about what I said to you earlier. I was being a real jerk.
SuperScholar01: It's ok, Videl.
SpawnOfSatan: No it's not! I shouldn't have said that. I know you better than that, you'd never betray a friend. I guess it was just jealousy that made me say it, I don't know.
SuperScholar01: Wow, Videl Satan admitting when she's wrong. Is hell freezing over?
SpawnOfSatan: Lol. I guess.
SpawnOfSatan: So, when's the date?
SuperScholar01: Friday. To tell you the truth, I don't really want to go.
SpawnOfSatan: Why? I thought you liked her?
SuperScholar01: So did I. But she's like a donut, all sweet on the inside and nothing but an empty hole in the middle.
SpawnOfSatan: Lol.
SuperScholar01: But, I'm still going to go out with her. Maybe it'll get better.
SpawnOfSatan: Could be. But, I'll talk to you later, Gohan. I'm feeling tired now that I got all that off my chest.
SuperScholar01: Alright. Good night, Videl-san.
SpawnOfSatan: Good night, Gohan.
(A/N: I know this kind of thing has been done before, but I couldn't resist.)
Gohan logged off after Videl and turned off his computer. He felt 100% better and as soon as his head hit his pillow, he fell asleep.
C.C.
Kumberelle floated outside the large dome shaped building, her tail waving freely behind her. She took a deep breath and floated up to the window where she felt Bulma's ki. She looked in and saw that Vegeta wasn't there.
- Must've had a fight- she thought.
She floated inside and looked at the sleeping woman in front of her. Kumberelle smirked as she thought about the end results of her plan, she'd have Vegeta and there'd be no more Bulma to hold him back.
She used her mind to roll Bulma over so that she was on her back and to bring the sword that she had brought with her out of it's sheath. She moved the sword above Bulma's heart, 10 feet above.
- Here goes nothing.-
She took a deep breath and began to let the sword drop with her mind. Suddenly, a ki blast raced to the sword just before it pierced Bulma's skin, sending into the wall by the bed, shattering it into pieces. Bulma's head shot up.
"What's going on?" Bulma asked, disoriented.
"What the hell?" Kumberelle said, whipping her head around to the direction the blast came from.
Her eyes popped out at who was in front of the bed. This person had an evil, determined look in its eyes and its hand was still stretched out. But what shocked Kumberelle even more was that this person was a Super Saiyan. it was clearly evident by the way its hair spiked upward and the fact that it was now gold. A golden aura surrounded the person's body.
-This...this can't be who I think...- Kumberelle thought. -But...but... it is.-
"Try anything like that again," the person said. "And that sword won't be the only thing in pieces."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Sorry bout the cliffhanger, but it looked like a good time to stop. I know the thing about Videl's mom has been done way too many times, but I needed something to keep this story going. I really don't know where this story's going now, to tell you the truth. God, my hands hurt! I typed this non stop. My longest chapter yet looks like. Anyway, remember to tell me if you want to be on my mailing list and I'll email you when every single chapter comes out. And also, keep reviewing! I appreciate it!

Bulma cocked her head to the side when she realized Kumberelle was staring at her. A devious smile crept upon her face, a smile Bulma was sure only Vegeta could pull off. It sent chills down her spine and made her extremely uncomfortable. She'd seen that look on Vegeta countless times, and before they were married it always made her scared shitless. She was well aware of the damage a Saiyan could do and that look told her not to trust this woman.
She returned her attention to Vegeta, who's expression appeared to be emotionless, like he was lost in thought. This confused Bulma. This should be an easy decision, right?
Not for Vegeta. Inside his head, the cold-hearted, blood-thirsty side of him and the sensible family man he had recently become, were having a mental dispute. Both sides had "reasonable" arguments.
- Ok,- he thought. - Take this chance, this once in a lifetime chance, to become a king or stay on this pitiful planet with the woman and the brat. Becoming a king might fill this emptiness I've been feeling, but how can I leave them? I am bonded to the woman...and the brat needs some good training...-
Kumberelle and Bulma kept their eyes locked on Vegeta until he spoke, "I've decided that....I need more time. Can you give me more time, Kumberelle?"
"More time?!" Bulma shouted, bringing her hands to her hips. "Why the hell do you need more time?! How difficult of a decision can this be?! You can not leave me and Trunks!"
"It is more difficult than you think, woman," Vegeta said, then turned his attention to Kumberelle. "Come back tomorrow."
"Yes, Prince Vegeta," Kumberelle said.
She bowed and walked out of Capsule Corp., but not before shooting Bulma that infamous Vegeta-like grin.
"Vegeta," Bulma said, a little calmer than before. "You can't be serious. How can you even think of leaving me and Trunks?"
Vegeta just grunted and excused himself from the table, walking in the direction of his beloved Gravity Room.
"I'm going to train," was all he said before he vanished from Bulma's view.
The blue-haired woman plopped into the nearest chair and began to sob softly, burying her face in her hands, while repeating mentally, -He can't leave me...he just can't.-
Just then Trunks walked in the kitchen and saw his mother crying. He put his hand on her shoulder, startling her.
"What's wrong, mom?" he asked.
"Nothing, sweetheart," Bulma said. "I'm fine, don't worry."
She picked up the laundry basket she had dropped due to the shock of Kumberelle's proposal and proceeded to take the clothes to the places that they needed to be.
Trunks sat down in the chair that his mother had just gotten up from and sighed. He was confused. He knew his mother too well, something just wasn't right. He thought that maybe his parents got into another argument, but that was highly unlikely because she was crying. Neither one of them showed any emotion except for anger after an argument, no matter how much the other person's words hurt them.
The lavender-haired boy decided that it must have something to do with the strange woman that was at his house earlier. Her ki was awfully low for a Saiyan, which made no sense.
-I'm getting to the bottom of this, no matter what.- Trunks thought, then disappeared to his room.
Somewhere in the air
Kumberelle flew in the direction her ship was in, slightly pissed for having to wait for an answer, but happy that he was even thinking about it. After she saw that he had a mate and child, she was sure that he'd never agree to her proposal, but when he said he'd have to think about it, she was ecstatic. She'd been feeling empty after her father's death and she felt that maybe Vegeta could help fill that emptiness.
In the back of her mind she knew that there wasn't a good possibility that he'd come with her. He was bonded to Bulma and it would be hard to tear him away from her.
She landed on a tree branch and picked an apple.
- That blue-haired abomination is going to be a problem. I must think of a way to rid of her.-
She sat down on the branch, letting her tail move freely with the wind. Within seconds she had finished her 3rd apple and had started another one. Suddenly, she stood up.
"I got it!" she exclaimed. "I know just how to get rid of her!"
Orange Star High School
Videl smiled as she slept in Algebra class. They were supposed to be using this part of class to do their homework, but instead Videl took this opportunity to take a much needed nap. The party from last night really wore her out and the dream that she was having was making up for the loss of sleep.
*~*Videl crossed her arms and smirked as she looked at what she'd created. At her feet was Lucy and about 20 of her friends tied together, screaming for help.
"Please, Almighty Videl," Lucy pleaded. "Please spare our worthless lives. Please! I beg of you, your highness." (A/N: I just had to throw in the "Almighty" and "your highness" stuff. Don't ask me why....)
Videl threw her head back and laughed, an evil laugh that scared Lucy even more.
"Now, why would I want to do that?" Videl said. "You WERE trying to steal the man of my dreams."
"But they weren't, your highness," Lucy said. "They're just my friends."
"All the more reason to kill them, too."
Videl walked away and couple minutes later came back with some lighter fluid. She poured it all over their bodies causing to scream once again, and then lit a match.
"You're not going to burn us to death, are you?" Lucy said, now so scared she probably shit on herself.
"Nonsense," Videl said.
Lucy smiled with relief, "Really?"
"No," Videl said, shaking her head. "The fire's going to do that for me."
Videl dropped the lit match and immediately smiled as the girls began to scream in agony. She threw her head back and laughed again, her hands on her hips. Soon the fire was out and only a pile of preppy ash was left.
Suddenly, Videl felt a familiar ki approaching. Everything suddenly became black as she heard footsteps in her direction.
"Who's there?" Videl called.
There was no answer except for the footsteps growing closer and closer to her. The darkness got lighter with every step that this mysterious person took, but she couldn't quite make out who this person was and why this ki was so familiar to her.
The person was now directly in front of her and without warning, leaned down and kissed her softly. When the person pulled away, Videl could now see clearly who the person was. In front of her was a grinning Son Gohan.
Videl smiled back and they began to kiss again, making her dream even more enjoyable than before. *~*
"Gohan..." Videl moaned in her sleep, only soft enough for Gohan's advanced hearing to pick up.
Gohan turned to the sleeping beauty on his left and cocked an eyebrow. -What the hell is she dreaming about?-
"Gohan?" Lucy said in a tone that only a spoiled brat who was used to being the center of attention would use. "Hello? Are you even listening to me?"
Gohan snapped his head back to Lucy, who was now at his right. She had switched places with Erasa so that they could talk about their date. "Uh...yeah...of course I was listening. Go on."
Lucy immediately turned into her cheerful self and smiled. "Ok, so like, on our date..."
That was all Gohan heard. His mind was in other places, mainly involving Videl. He was mentally scolding himself for letting Videl get him a date with this girl, while uttering an occasional, "uh huh" or "ok" as she talked. He had thought that Lucy was pretty on the outside, which she was, but now he was beginning to see why she seemed to have a new boyfriend ever other week. This girl was just too damn happy! And she never shut up!
Videl smiled as her dream continued but was interrupted by a voice coming from her watch.
"Videl?" The voice called. "Miss Videl?"
Videl's head shot up at the sound of her name. She rubbed her eyes and looked down at her watch.
"Yes?" she replied, groggily.
"We have a bank robbery in progress, Miss Videl," the voice, whom Videl recognized as the chief of police, said.
"I'll be right there." - Damn bank robbers. I was having a nice dream.-
Videl got up and walked down to the front of the class and asked the teacher's permission to leave. Once he nodded yes, she walked to the door and shot Gohan a look that said, "Come if you want."
Videl knew most likely he would be there dressed as the Great Saiyaman. Everyone was still oblivious to the fact that he was the Great Saiyaman, the Gold Fighter, and the real person who defeated Cell except for her and the Z gang and she liked it that way. It made her feel special, like she had a special connection with Gohan that no other person had. It also made her happy to know that he cared that much for her and left class to make sure she didn't get hurt, even though he knew she'd most likely take care of everything herself. She hoped to Dende that he'd help her this time because she hated to see Lucy hanging on him.
Gohan was about to go to the teacher's desk and ask for his permission to go to the bathroom so that he could escape to help Videl, but Lucy held onto his arm.
"Could you let go so that I could step out for awhile?" Gohan asked sweetly.
"Why?" Lucy asked. "Do you want to get away from me? Why do you want to leave me?" Tears welled up in her blue eyes and her lower lip began to quiver.
"Lucy, I just-"
"You just want to leave me!"
The tears were now coming full force and she was wailing loudly. Everyone in the room looked up and began to laugh.
"Please, Lucy," Gohan whispered. "Stop crying, your making a scene."
"But you said you'd leave me!" Lucy cried.
"I just want to go to the bathroom!" Gohan shouted back, now frustrated. Everyone else laughed harder.
"You can go Gohan," the teacher said, smirking. "If it's really that serious, you can go. And Lucy, please control your outbursts."
Lucy smiled and wiped her tears. "Kay!"
Gohan growled under his breath and walked out of the door. - Women.-
Gohan rushed to the roof and changed into his green Saiyaman costume. He expanded his senses and found Videl's ki approaching the school. -Wow, she's done with that robbery already?-
He floated down to the front of the school just as Videl was approaching it.
"You handled it that quick?" Gohan asked.
"Yep," Videl said. "The bank was right down the street and the thief was some puny girl that could barely keep the gun up, let alone defend herself against me. What took you so long?"
"Well.. I... uh... you see...Lucy was-"
"Oh, I get it. You couldn't pull yourself away from her, could you?"
"Videl it's not like that-"
"Bull shit! I should've known how you'd act once you got a girlfriend. You don't have time for friends now that you have her."
"She's not even my girlfriend!"
The last part Videl didn't hear because she was already inside of the school. Gohan sighed and smacked himself. -Every time I open my mouth....-
Later, at the Son house
Gohan walked into his dome shaped house sad and sullen, his back pack over his right shoulder.
His parents were watching something on TV. Apparently it was good because they didn't even look up when they told their oldest child hello.
Goten came running in shouting, "Gohan's home!"
"Shhhh...." Chichi and Goku said in unison.
Gohan forced a smile as Goten jumped on him and wrapped his arms tightly around his neck.
"Goten....ease up there...squirt," Gohan choked out, the color slowly draining from his face. "You've..... kind of.... got a tight grip... on me."
Goten jumped down and the color immediately returned to Gohan's face. Goten blushed and rubbed the back of his head, "Heh. Sorry, brother."
- Damn you look like dad, Goten.- (Gohan)
"Gohan!" Goku's mini-me said. "Guess what I did today!"
"What did you do, squirt?" Gohan tried to sound interested but failed.
"Meanddadwentfishingandwecaughtabigfishbiggerthanyouevenandthenwewenttoseekrillinand18andyamchaandmasterroshiandthenwecamehomeandateandgrampacameoverandthegrownupswastalkingandiwasboredbutdaddytookmeforicecreamand-" (A/N: Translation: Me and dad went fishing and we caught a big fish, bigger than you even and then we went to see Krillin and18 and Yamcha and Master Roshi and then we came home and ate and Grampa came over and the grownups was talking and I was bored but daddy took me for icecream and-)
"Ok, Goten," Gohan interrupted. "I get the point."
"But I'm not finished!" Goten pouted.
"Tell me later, squirt. I have homework to do."
It wasn't a lie, he did have homework to do, but it wasn't like it would take longer than 5 minutes to do it.
"Aww man," Goten said as Gohan disappeared into his room. "Oh well."
Goten ran over and jumped in between his parents on the couch.
Goku noticed the change in his oldest son's behavior and brought two fingers up to his forehead.
"Be right back, Chi," he said before he used the Instant Transmission technique and appeared in Gohan's room.
"Dad!" Gohan shouted when Goku appeared literally out of thin air right before him, startling him. "Warn me, before you do that!"
"Sorry, Gohan," Goku said. "But I had a feeling you were down today. Is something wrong?"
Gohan sighed and plopped onto his bed. He didn't feel like talking about it, but he knew it would make him feel better if he did. His dad always had a way of making him feel better by his constant optimistic outlook about everything and this might be his last chance to get his father's advice.
He then told Goku everything, how he told Videl that he liked Lucy instead of her and about how Videl got him a date with her which was supposed to take place on Friday. He also told him about the biggest reason he was depressed, because Videl accused him of not being a good friend. He didn't know why, but her being mad at him really hurt him.
"Wow," Goku said. "Sounds to me like she really does like you. She sounds a bit jealous to me." (A/N: Goku's not an idiot after all.)
"If that was true," Gohan said. "Then why would she set me up with Lucy in the first place?"
"Maybe she really thought that that was what would make you happy, and being the good friend that she is, she wanted to see you happy no matter how much it would hurt her."
"I don't think so, dad. Plenty of guys like her, why would she like me?"
Goku inwardly shook his head. -When will he learn?- "Just think about it, son."
He walked over to Gohan and put his hand on his shoulder. "Tomorrow, why don't you apologize to her. Tell her that you never meant to hurt her in anyway. And go on this date. One date couldn't hurt. Could it?"
Gohan sighed. His father had a point. "No, I guess not."
"Then, tell Videl you're true feelings."
"But what if she hates me for lying to her? What if she doesn't feel the same way?"
"That's the risk you're just going to have to take."
Gohan nodded. "Thanks for the advice, dad."
"No problem, son."
Goku smiled his trademark smile before Instant Transmissioned into the living room.
Gohan laid back on his bed but shot back up when he heard his mother scream.
"Goku!" Chichi screamed. "Don't do that!"
Goku rubbed the back of his head and grinned. "Sorry, Chi."
Satan Mansion
"Stupid Gohan!" Videl shouted while slamming her bedroom door and tossing her backpack into a chair. "Stupid preppy bitch..."
She sat down on her bed and out of anger and frustration she screamed and threw the nearest object at the wall. It cracked into a couple pieces, sounding like glass shattering.
Videl sighed. - Can't let the maids see this, they'll ask questions.-
She got up and knelt down to clean up her mess. She picked up a few pieces and gasped when she saw what it was.
In her hands was a wooden photo frame that once held three pictures in it. She held up one of the pictures and smiled. It was a picture of Videl, arms crossed, cocking an eyebrow at Gohan who was rubbing the back of his neck and grinning nervously. She began to chuckle lightly remembering that day.
*It was a sunny day, the day that Gohan introduced Videl to his family. Everything had gone smoothly after dinner at his house and after his mother got over the fact that they were just friends and wouldn't be having her grandchildren anytime soon. But 2 little half-Saiyans ruined it.
Trunks was playing with his new camera, the kind where the picture comes out instantaneously, and was taking pictures of everything in sight. He already took a picture of his parents, Chichi, 3 of Goten, Gohan, and tried to take one of himself, but all that could be seen was a blurry image of his lavender hair.
"Trunks," Gohan said. "Put that thing away and stop taking pictures."
"Why?" Trunks asked. "I want to get one of you and your girlfriend!"
Goten snickered while Videl and Gohan blushed, Gohan more so than Videl. Trunks took that opportunity to get a picture of Gohan.
"Perfect," Trunks said. "Nice shade of red, Gohan."
Now Gohan blushed redder, but not because of embarrassment, but because of anger. He chased Trunks around the kitchen table they were all sitting at.
"Help, Goten!" Trunks shouted as they made their way around the table a 3rd time.
"No way!" Goten said. "You're on your own."
Gohan continued to chase Trunks. Videl decided that was enough of the childishness and stood in front of Gohan. He ran into her, but instead of just getting knocked down by the force, Videl got knocked backward into a wall.
"Ouch," she said, rubbing her head as Gohan hurried over and helped her up. "What are you, a brick wall?"
Goten snickered. "That's cuz of the Saiyan in him."
Trunks went over to his best friend and whispered, "Goten, Gohan hasn't told her about Saiyans yet, so shut up."
"Saiyan?" Videl said, once she regained her composure. "What's that?"
Gohan grinned and rubbed the back of his neck. "Kids say the weirdest things...."
He began to grin nervously and Videl cocked an eyebrow at him.
Another perfect opportunity for Trunks. He brought the camera up to his face and snapped a picture of them.
"That should be a good one," he said. "Here, Videl, you keep it. I sense my time on Earth is almost up."
Trunks looked at the angry look on Gohan's face and quickly handed the picture to Videl and ran for his life again, this time with Goten behind him, running to tell his mother.
Videl smiled when the picture developed and stuck it in her pocket.*
Videl put that picture aside and looked at the next one. The second picture was of her and her father after the Cell Games. Her father had his hands on his hips, smiling that huge, goofy grin that most of the us DBZ fans hate, and little Videl was smiling up at her father, her blue eyes shining with pride.
Videl cringed as she thought about how she fell for that lie. She was only a child, and it was her father, but she still hated herself for falling for that lie. She was now ashamed that her father was a fraud and even more ashamed that the people of the world were still being deceived. She remembered how stupid he reacted when she told him that she knew that Gohan defeated Cell.
"It was all those silly tricks and light shows that makes you think that, honey," Hercule had said. "He couldn't have beat Cell. I'M the World Champion!"
Videl just rolled her eyes. She decided that photo wasn't worth keeping and put in her trash pile along with the pieces of shattered glass and wood.
The last photo was of Videl and her mother. Her mother looked exactly like Videl, except her black hair went to her waist. Videl was sitting on her mother's lap, their identical blue eyes shining with joy. The picture was taken the day that her mother died.
Videl shook her head, not wanting a flashback to occur. She wiped away the tear that had managed to escape her eyes. She didn't want to dwell on a painful memory that not even Gohan nor Erasa knew about. It was just too hard to do and she promised herself she'd never cry for her again.
Videl finished cleaning up the mess and hung up the pictures on her wall, all except for the one with her father in it. When she was done she laid down on her bed and began to think about her life.
The life she had when she was younger was totally different from the life she had now. Her life with both of her parents was full of love, but once her mother died, it turned into the exact opposite. Her father would become depressed and so would she. They barely said a word to each other, but then the Cell Games came, and once again everything changed. Her father began to spoil her, which made her happy for awhile, but then she realized that there was more to life than just fame and fortune. She missed her father, who now filled his life with martial arts and cheap sluts. She became depressed again and filled that void with martial arts, in hopes of proving to her father that she was still alive with something they both could relate to, and ended up loving it. Soon after that she began to fight crime.
Then she met Son Gohan. Gohan filled her life with everything, someone to talk to, someone to have fun with, and someone to spar with. Sure, she always had Erasa, but she could relate to Gohan more. She totally trusted him, possibly the only person that she trusted, but he was still unaware of the story about her mother. She'd change the subject whenever he brought it up, but she vowed that one day he would know the truth. He was, after all, her crush, and her best friend.
C.C.
~Vegeta~ Bulma said through their bond. ~Time for dinner.~
Her voice lacked the usual cheerfulness and Vegeta knew exactly why. She was upset that Vegeta had to ponder the idea of leaving his family to go rule some planet.
(Vegeta) -She has to understand this. I'm a Saiyan, always have been and always will be. We crave fighting, superiority, any boost to our pride. She just has to understand this.-
Vegeta sat down at the table just as Bulma was sitting down. Trunks was already digging into his food as Bulma began to eat hers slower than usual. Vegeta noticed this and talked to her through their bond while eating.
~ Listen, woman. I'm 2 people now. As much as I hate to admit it, I have a human side as well as a Saiyan side. My human side wants to stay but my Saiyan blood is craving adventure.~
~I don't care, Vegeta. You have a wife and kid now, you have responsibilities. You can't just throw that away for some "adventure."~
~But my Saiyan pride- ~
~Forget your Saiyan pride for once!~
~But I can't forget it! It's my heritage, woman! It's what makes me, me! How would you feel if I told you to forget those silly inventions or whatever it is that you do! It's not fair, woman!~
~That's totally different, Vegeta.~
~How so?~
~Your "Saiyan pride" can cause you to leave us. Your "Saiyan pride" can cause you to destroy people, planets, anything to prove that you're the best. Nothing good comes from that damn "Saiyan pride" of yours!~
~That's not true...~
~Well until you can prove it to me, I rest my case.~
~I don't need this! I don't need you nor the kid!~
~But we're here! Therefore, you do need to take care of us! You need me at least! I'm fucking bonded with you!~
~This discussion is over.~
With that being said, Vegeta slapped a block on their telepathic communication and excused himself to go to train.
- How does he do that right when I'm winning?- (Bulma)
Somewhere of in the distance
Kumberelle laid on the ground by her ship, still contemplating her plan for getting rid of Bulma. It was really risky. She knew that without his mate, Vegeta would never be the same. His power would go down drastically, but she needed him. She needed him to fill the hollowness in her heart. She needed him to be her king, her mate.
- I can't back down. This is what I need to be complete again.-
She stood up and brushed herself off, getting ready to go with her plan.
Back at the Son house
Gohan yawned and stretched in his bed. He couldn't sleep knowing that Videl was mad at him. He just hurt too much and every time he got to sleep he saw the hurt in Videl's eyes before she took off into the school that day. Seeing Videl hurt made him hurt 10 times worse.
He looked over at the clock. It read 1:30 a.m. - Great, now I'll only get 5 hours pf sleep.-
He got out of bed and decided to get on the laptop computer to check his email. The laptop had been a birthday present from Bulma the year before and he thanked her for it every chance he got. It always helped him relieve boredom, stress, or whatever was bothering him.
He logged onto AOL on his screen name, SuperScholar01, and checked his email. - Let's see. Mail from Bulma, Krillin, Yamcha, BlueAngelL? Who's that?-
He opened the email from BlueAngelL and it read:
Hey, cutie! I got your email address from Erasa! It's that great! Anyway, I just wanted to remind you about our date on Friday! The movie starts at 7 but meet me at the Cineplex at 6:40 to make sure that we get good seats! Luv ya, cutie!
- Lucy : )
Gohan rolled his eyes at all the exclamation points. -This girl is even happy on email!-
He continued to check his email. Disappointed that there was no email from Videl, he was about to log off when the sound of a door opening caught his attention. He looked over at his Buddy List and saw that SpawnOfSatan, Videl's screen name, had just logged on. He sent her an instant message and their conversation went as follows:
SuperScholar01: Hey, Videl. What are you doing up so late?
SpawnOfSatan: I don't know. Couldn't sleep. How bout you?
SuperScholar01: Same.
SpawnOfSatan: Listen, Gohan. I'm sorry about what I said to you earlier. I was being a real jerk.
SuperScholar01: It's ok, Videl.
SpawnOfSatan: No it's not! I shouldn't have said that. I know you better than that, you'd never betray a friend. I guess it was just jealousy that made me say it, I don't know.
SuperScholar01: Wow, Videl Satan admitting when she's wrong. Is hell freezing over?
SpawnOfSatan: Lol. I guess.
SpawnOfSatan: So, when's the date?
SuperScholar01: Friday. To tell you the truth, I don't really want to go.
SpawnOfSatan: Why? I thought you liked her?
SuperScholar01: So did I. But she's like a donut, all sweet on the inside and nothing but an empty hole in the middle.
SpawnOfSatan: Lol.
SuperScholar01: But, I'm still going to go out with her. Maybe it'll get better.
SpawnOfSatan: Could be. But, I'll talk to you later, Gohan. I'm feeling tired now that I got all that off my chest.
SuperScholar01: Alright. Good night, Videl-san.
SpawnOfSatan: Good night, Gohan.
(A/N: I know this kind of thing has been done before, but I couldn't resist.)
Gohan logged off after Videl and turned off his computer. He felt 100% better and as soon as his head hit his pillow, he fell asleep.
C.C.
Kumberelle floated outside the large dome shaped building, her tail waving freely behind her. She took a deep breath and floated up to the window where she felt Bulma's ki. She looked in and saw that Vegeta wasn't there.
- Must've had a fight- she thought.
She floated inside and looked at the sleeping woman in front of her. Kumberelle smirked as she thought about the end results of her plan, she'd have Vegeta and there'd be no more Bulma to hold him back.
She used her mind to roll Bulma over so that she was on her back and to bring the sword that she had brought with her out of it's sheath. She moved the sword above Bulma's heart, 10 feet above.
- Here goes nothing.-
She took a deep breath and began to let the sword drop with her mind. Suddenly, a ki blast raced to the sword just before it pierced Bulma's skin, sending into the wall by the bed, shattering it into pieces. Bulma's head shot up.
"What's going on?" Bulma asked, disoriented.
"What the hell?" Kumberelle said, whipping her head around to the direction the blast came from.
Her eyes popped out at who was in front of the bed. This person had an evil, determined look in its eyes and its hand was still stretched out. But what shocked Kumberelle even more was that this person was a Super Saiyan. it was clearly evident by the way its hair spiked upward and the fact that it was now gold. A golden aura surrounded the person's body.
-This...this can't be who I think...- Kumberelle thought. -But...but... it is.-
"Try anything like that again," the person said. "And that sword won't be the only thing in pieces."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Sorry bout the cliffhanger, but it looked like a good time to stop. I know the thing about Videl's mom has been done way too many times, but I needed something to keep this story going. I really don't know where this story's going now, to tell you the truth. God, my hands hurt! I typed this non stop. My longest chapter yet looks like. Anyway, remember to tell me if you want to be on my mailing list and I'll email you when every single chapter comes out. And also, keep reviewing! I appreciate it!
