Okay, for those of you who have already read 1-7, go back and read Chapter 5, I forgot a piece. O This chapter will make more sense if you do.

Chapter 8: Deja Vu

They stared down each other; neither the wolf nor the men would take their eyes off of each other. The wolf stood up on its hind legs, easily reaching eight feet. "Leave, you have no business here." A look of recognition crossed wolf's face when he saw Bulma and Vegeta. "What are you doing here?"

"It seems that a little puppy dog nicked me on its way out," Vegeta growled, arms crossed and glaring. The words slowly sunk into the werewolf's head.

"Nani, I bit you?! " Nick said in disbelief, So you're…Oh well, I can still get rid of you before the council finds out." With that he jumped at Vegeta. Vegeta moved, revealing Yamcha behind him.

Something clicked in Bulma's mind, she had done this before, but something was different. There weren't any bowling balls or monkeys. But, she thought, I always comment on how Krillian's head looks like a bowling ball and both Goku and Gohan were Saiyans, which could turn into giant apes. She mentally laughed as she realized who the wussy man has been. Bulma had always noticed how Yamcha was one of the weakest, if not the weakest of the Z-Fighters. Yajirobe and him would be a hard decision. The other wolf had to be Vegeta; he too was a werewolf. Was the wolf with the pack the wolf-man attacking them now? And what was in the pack?

The wolf jumped at her, but not before she sensed it. How could he go wolf without moonlight? Could Vegeta and she do it too? The wolf was now ignoring her and was now facing off with a ki wielding Yamcha. Yamcha has given up on his Souki Dan and now was physically attacking the wolf. The others were standing back, slightly puzzled as what to do. Yamcha threw the wolf off and rolled to the side. The wolf regained its footing and readied itself to pounce. Halfway through the jump Goku grabbed the wolf around its middle. The wolf fought futily against the Earth Saiyan's grip.

"We don't want to fight, we just want to use the Dragonballs to return our friends to normal," Goku explained. Vegeta "hmphed" at the friend part, turning his glare on the ever-clueless Goku.

Nick sighed, which looked and sounded odd, as it was a wolf doing it. He couldn't beat these people; some of them weren't human or even from this planet. He looked up and watched as the blue-haired beauty walked toward him.

"How did you change without the moon?" Quick to get to the point, he liked that. He shifted uncomfortably from both the man's grip and the woman's stare.

"Have him let me go and I'll tell you. I'm sure they could catch me if I ran away." Bulma looked at Goku and nodded. He seemed hesitant to comply, but eventually did. He stood up and proceeded to brush himself of and pat down his ruffled fur.

Bulma watched him closely, not sure what to think of him. Here was the man who had attacked her and made her one of them. Yet she wasn't mad at him or wishing him dead. Now that she thought about it, she loved running through the forest as a wolf. And she never felt tired or worn out, she would never age, never fall ill, and never would she be left out of a battle like she had before. She would have to thank him sometime, but now was not it. First she wanted to find out how he did it, transform without moonlight.

The man-wolf hesitated and then started to speak. "It's easy one you learn how. You have to concentrate on things that make you transform. The moon, fear, and anger. You have to concentrate on them and think of yourself transforming into a wolf."

"Fear and anger trigger a transformation?" Bulma asked, openly surprised.

"Yes. But I doubt you've had any reason to be angry, you being pampered and all," Nick said tauntingly. That was, until he saw Bulma's face. She had her fist clenched and her jaw set. Her face was the color of a very ripe tomato and she looked very, very angry.

"I AM NOT A PAMPERED BRAT LIKE YOU SEEM TO THINK I AM! FOR YOUR INFORMATION BUSTER, I HAVE PLENTY OF THINGS TO BE ANGRY AT!" She pointed at Vegeta. "He's ONE of the thinks that makes me EXTREMELY angry! YOU STUPID BAKA…" She went on and on, screaming like a banshee.

"It's okay, she does this all the time, the only time she is dangerous if she has things to throw," Goku whispered. The number two Dragonball hit him on the side of his head. "Ouch!" He had forgotten about her sensitive hearing. "Sorry Bulma." He nervously laughed out, putting his hand behind his head. Bulma kept on fuming, this time complaining about what kinds of friends she had. Vegeta just stood there with an amused look on his face, he found the woman's actions funny, especially when none of the insults were directed at him.

Krillian decided to start a conversation with Nick, maybe it would take Bulma's mind off of his insult and stop her ranting and raving. "So Nick, why do you want the Dragonballs?"

"I want to wish the moon back. I miss it. I am, after all, a creature affected by the moon."

"Oh, well Piccolo had to destroy it because Gohan turned into a giant ape and was rampaging across the countryside." He looked at Krillian like he was crazy and the followed Krillian's finger to a little boy with black spiky hair.

"He…He turned into an ape? That's what happened to it?"

He looked the little boy up and down, finding nothing special about him, except for his smell. It reminded him of the time he visited a zoo. He smelled like a gorilla, and so did the man who had held him earlier. He sniffed towards the others, most of which were normal human scents. The green guy smell like a plant, what type he didn't know. But the one that really caught his attention was the one of the little man. He smelled of both a wolf and an ape. He must have been one of the ape-men before he bit him. Now what was he? It didn't matter, the council was going to tan his hide and use him as a throw rug. He had no idea what in the world he was going to do, he just knew that he couldn't continue to wonder across the countryside, he needed a place to hide so that he could think up a plan. An idea came to mind. The blue-haired woman was now screaming at the scarred human. He was moving back, as if trying to avoid her wrath.

"I have a proposition for you." Bulma looked up at his gruff voice, "You find me a place to stay and I'll teach you what you need to know about werewolves. It's obvious you two really don't want to be back to normal."

"And how do you get that?" Bulma said hotly.

"One, you didn't seem to enthusiastic about getting the Dragonball; Two, you asked me about transforming, sure it could have been curiosity, but the way you said it…and three most people who become one stay one. You feel wild and free. Am I right?" Bulma scowled, much like Vegeta, was she really that transparent. She had stayed at the back of the group, not caring whether or not they got them. She thought of about it. If he lived with them at Capsule Corp. he could attack them in their sleep. But Vegeta could take care of him, right? But if she didn't she wouldn't be able to transform and explore that new world whenever she felt like it. The latter of the thoughts won.

"You can stay with us, but don't try anything funny or Vegeta will blast you to the next dimension. And no insulting my cooking or anything else for that matter."

"If that's would you call that crap," Vegeta grumbled. Bulma stared him down and turned her attention to the group.

"You guys grab the balls," she pointed to Tien and Chaotzu, "Can you fly?" She asked Nick.

"Fly? No. Why?"

"Goku, will you please take umm…I never did get your name."

"Nick, and what do you mean by fly?" Goku walked over. "Get on my back."

Nick's eyes were wide in bewilderment, but he obeyed. The last thing he saw before Goku blasted off was Bulma screaming at Vegeta. He had covered his eyes.

What is the council? Will Nick try anything funny? Will Bulma and Vegeta ever get along? Probably not. J
