Chapter 3

"A TWIN," Bulma shrieked.

Vegeta was laughing at her by this point. She had said it about twenty times already! It was like her mind couldn't compute this new information so she had to keep repeating it to herself to let it sink in. The only problem with that was every time she said it she would be completely shocked again. Silly human, Vegeta thought as he stopped her pacing by grabbing her arm.

"Woman, would you desist from shouting you're hurting my ears." He smirked at her.

"Well, I am SO sorry that I am HURTING your PRECIOUS ears!" Bulma screamed as she yanked her arm back and continued walking in circles.

Vegeta winced. Sure she was amusing the hell out of him but his ears could only handle so much abuse. Ignoring Bulma for a moment he turned to Ava. Wake up Ava and then maybe the woman would shut up for once. He laughed suddenly catching Bulma off guard.

"What's so funny?" Bulma asked stopping her tirade.

"If this is how you react then how will the others react?" He laughed.

His laughter stirred something within Bulma. Sure she knew he could laugh but not like this. This was almost lighthearted laughter compared to the demonic laughter she had heard before when Goku was fighting Frieza and Vegeta was laughing his head off saying that after they killed each other he would be the strongest. This laughter was attractive as well as contagious.

"I can just see Kakarot standing there with his mouth hanging open!" He laughed.

Bulma couldn't help it, she started giggling, she could all too easily see Goku doing that too. Bulma didn't see Vegeta look up as she started to laugh with him so she didn't catch the vulnerability flash in his eyes before he looked down not laughing any more.

Ava, I need you... Vegeta made a silent plea to his only sibling. Ava started convulsing as if in response.

"NO... Ava..." Vegeta placed his hands on her stomach and collarbone to hold her down. "Damn it, her power is fluctuating wildly!" He looked up at Bulma a bit desperately. She got the message loud and clear. I don't know what to do, help me.

Bulma turned and ran out of the room yelling over her shoulder that she was getting help. She ran to the nearest phone and called the only guy who had never let her down Goku. Hurry up and answer the phone damn it! I don't have all day! She mentally cursed at the phone as it started to ring.

"Hello, this is the Son residence, Chichi speaking."

"ChichithisisBulmaIneedtotalktoGokuit'sanemergency-"

"Slow down Bulma! What do you want Goku for?"

"I have an emergency Vegeta--"

"What! Goku is on his way!"

Click. Bulma looked at the phone in shock.

"Oh shit..." She mumbled as she realized what Chichi thought, She thinks Vegeta is hurting me! Bulma ran down the hallway back to Vegeta's room. Damn it I have to warn Ve-SLAM-

"Bulma are you ok what's wrong? Chichi said there was trouble with Vegeta." Goku asked her as he helped her off the floor.

Bulma glared at Goku. I hate instant transmission. Her eyes widened as she realized the solution to Ava's problem. A senzu bean! Of course!

"Goku I want you to teleport to Koran's tower and get a senzu bean for me ok?" She asked.

"Why do you want a senzu bean for? You're not that hurt." He asked her innocently.

"Because I need one for Vegeta's...Just get me one ok?"

"OK, Bulma I'll be back in a gip!" With that he disappeared.

Bulma shook her head as she reentered Vegeta's room. Sure she loved Goku but he could be such a pain!

"I felt Kakarot. Why did you call him for?" Vegeta asked a little harshly.

Bulma sighed. A dorky saiyan or a temperamental saiyan, which would she rather deal with? Now there was a question that should challenge her genius to the point of insanity. "I called Goku--"

"Here is the senzu bean you wanted Bulma," Goku smiled, as he appeared in Vegeta's room where he noticed two things.

One, Vegeta was holding down what appeared to be a very pretty girl and two, that girl had a tail, which meant that the girl was a saiyan like him and Vegeta, Goku, thought calmly. A FEMALE SAIYAN! And true to form Goku's mouth dropped open in shock.

Bulma grabbed the bean from the shocked Goku and tried forcing it in Ava's mouth. Damn it go in! Bulma thought as she tried prying Ava's mouth open with her fingers without success. Seeing that Bulma needed help Goku got over being shocked to help his friend. He gently took the bean away from Bulma and forced the bean into the girl's mouth and made her swallow it. Bulma moved anxiously to the foot of the bed as Goku helped Vegeta restrain Ava.

Everyone sighed as Ava stopped thrashing and calmed down. Then the two saiyans grunted as Ava's arms shot up, grabbed the neck of their shirts, and rammed their heads together knocking both saiyans away from the bed and out of consciousness. Ava rolled forward smoothly and grabbed Bulma preparing to break her neck but stopped in mid-motion.

Where am I? Ava looked at the trembling creature in her arms. Weak, she thought as she released the female creature. Maybe I can get some answers from it?

Bulma was watching Ava carefully while rubbing her neck. She almost killed me...I almost died. Bulma started as Ava began to growl at her. What the hell? It's like she is trying to say something.

Damn creature doesn't know what I'm saying! Ava grumbled to herself. The blue and white creature was watching her cautiously.

Yes, Ava is definitely saying something. Bulma thought to herself. Maybe I should say something?

"Ava," Bulma said hesitantly noticing how Ava stopped growling at her. "I don't know what you are saying."

How in the hell does this creature know my name? Ava looked at Bulma confused.

"Of course you don't she is speaking saiyan," Vegeta said surprising them both.

"Vegeta!" Bulma heard Ava say before she jumped on him and started growling at him.

To Bulma's surprise he started growling back as he pushed her off but now Bulma could hear slight pronunciations. Hmm, does that mean that Vegeta is actually saying things in another language when he's growling under his breath? Bulma watched as their faces went through various expressions. I wonder what they're talking about?

"Vegeta, you're alive!" Ava yelled as she jumped on her brother.

"Of course I'm alive! Idiot!" Vegeta responded as he pushed his sister off of him.

"Where are we? Where's Frieza?" Ava asked him wide-eyed with curiosity not having his years of experience hiding his emotions from others.

"Ava, Frieza is dead, we don't have to worry anymore." Vegeta told his sister solemnly.

"You're serious! The monster is dead..." Ava looked at him with an adoring look in her eyes. "Now we can go home to father."

Vegeta was shocked. She doesn't know...that our home planet was destroyed...that we are the two of the three last saiyans in the galaxy...Does she even know how old she is? Needless to say Vegeta was looking panicked.

"What's wrong?" Ava looked at him concerned.

"Ava, we are going to link minds so you will know what has happened since you were put in confinement," Vegeta told her very slowly.

"All right, if you think that is best," Ava looked at him a bit suspiciously.

"I do. Trust me. With this link you will learn all the knowledge that I have gained since we parted." Vegeta said slowly.

Ava nodded and leaned forward closing her eyes as Vegeta did the same until their foreheads were barely touching.

Now what are they doing? Bulma thought to herself confused noticing with a little envy Ava's sleek figure. If she has been imprisoned in that wall for twenty years how in the hell did she keep her perfect figure. There was not an ounce of fat on Ava's body. I guess it is just males that have gravity defying hair, Bulma thought as her eye caught Ava's shoulder length hair. But it is just as spiky at the ends. Reminds me of Vegeta's hair when it's so soaked it hangs down his back but just more with bangs.

"Ow, what hit me?" Goku groaned as he finally sat up.

"Goku, are you ok?" Bulma rushed to Goku's side as he got up.

"Yeah, but something hit me. Hey who's that?" Goku asked as he spotted Ava.

"That's Vegeta's twin sister," Bulma replied calmly.

"His what?!?!" Goku's mouth dropped open in shock again.

Bulma shook her head at him and turned to the twins. What are they doing?

Memories were flying through Ava's mind but they weren't her own, they were Vegeta's. Vegeta, this hurts. I can't do this... Yes you can Ava just a little more... Their thoughts became one.

Memories from childhood: "Listen to me you stupid monkey, or your little friend dies!" Lord Frieza screamed in Vegeta's face as Frieza slowly strangled her brother.

Memories from teenage years: "Ha, ha even the dirtiest, nastiest, sluts won't touch the dirty little monkey." Dodoria laughed.

"For your information I refused the slut!" A young Vegeta glared.

"Yah, yah we all know the truth, Vegeta. Funny how all the sluts have at least some standards! They'll even screw Dodoria here but they turn their noses up at you!" Zarbon laughed.

Memories from young adult: "That would be a waste of a wish. How would you like to be immortal my friend?" Vegeta himself talking to Napa.

So many memories all painful and dark until: "You need a bath!" The creature...No Bulma. With a scream they separated each returning to their own thoughts. Ava raised a shaky hand to move the hair away from her face.

"Ava?" Vegeta asked scared that he had made her go insane.

"I am fine. Just give me a moment to adjust." Ava said shakily. Her mind was processing all the information. Disregarding all information from battles and only taking in the fact that he won, but not any of the techniques that were used or really the people her brother fought against. There were literally millions of battles he had been in so it was too much information at the moment. However languages and other technical machinery data was easily compatible.

"Vegeta how come she can suddenly speak our language?" Bulma demanded.

"Because woman," Vegeta winced as he got off the floor, "she just learned it from me."

"What do you mean?"

"He means that we just shared a mind link where I relived his memories which includes educational moments such as learning new languages." Ava replied to Bulma dryly.

Bulma lifted an eyebrow. "Then you should be thankful to me for saving your life." Bulma said with an edge to her voice.

"Humph, you only stated the obvious when my brother was to close to the situation to see the obvious. You weren't really needed." Ava smirked as Bulma's face turned red.

"All right calm down ladies." Goku tried to diffuse the tension that was steadily growing between the two females.

"So you're Kakarot." Ava said eyeing Goku making him blush.

"Goku is a married man." Bulma said angrily.

Ava raised an eyebrow and responded coolly, "Who is Goku? I am talking to Kakarot."

"That's enough, Ava." Vegeta said sharply. Ava smiled and sat down as if to wait for further orders. Vegeta leveled a glare at Goku and Bulma. "Now if you two will excuse us my sister has had a trying day." Vegeta said with steel in his voice. Bulma and Goku took the hint and exited the room.

"Man Bulma, looks like your going to have a handful with those two." Goku said softly.

"Yeah, I can't wait..." Bulma said exhaustion creeping in her voice.

"Can't wait for what?"

"Go home Goku!" Bulma snapped, her patience gone.

"Ok but can I come and visit tomorrow."

Bulma nodded and then stared at the empty spot in the hall where Goku HAD been standing. She yawned, today had been a busy day and tomorrow didn't look any better. She started to go to her room when she heard Vegeta start to yell.

"What was that about?" Vegeta growled at Ava

"I don't know what you mean." Ava replied calmly.

"You know exactly what I mean Ava!"

"What do you expect Vegeta! He is the only other male saiyan around besides you!"

"He is a nitwit! Not to mention my rival!"

"What does THAT have to do with me!"

"You would mate yourself to a brain damaged saiyan!"

"You've become weak, brother." Ava said calmly.

"WEAK?" Vegeta seethed.

Ava smiled thinly. "I am going to purge myself tomorrow."

"Why?"

"So I can let my mind catch up to my body."

"I just got you back and you are going to leave?"

"This is why you've become weak. Don't worry brother, I will return, and when I do I'll see to it that you become strong again."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, really."

Vegeta smirked at her. "So little Ava wants to play catch up. Well let me tell you something Ava. On this planet there is a group of men strong enough to kill you and if you just go flying around they are going to sense you and track you down just to find out who this strange new power belongs to."

Ava had paled, much to Vegeta's delight, her mind brought up vague memories that didn't belong to her. "What do you mean sense me?"

"Here people can feel each other's aura's or power level's."

Ava raised an eyebrow. "You know these men?"

"Yes, I even had some of them killed."

"Is there any way to keep them from tracing me. You know that I have to do this alone."

"We'll throw a party and introduce you to everyone!" Bulma burst into the room with a smile on her face.

"You were ease dropping on us!" Ava snarled dropping into a stance.

"The whole house was eaves dropping. What do you expect when you two are screaming at the top of your lungs." Bulma asked Ava sarcastically.

"I didn't think anyone would notice since you are always screeching at that idiot boyfriend of yours." Vegeta said slyly while shaking his head slightly at Ava.

Bulma gave him a warning look.

"We'll throw a party tomorrow to introduce Ava to everyone and that is final." Bulma said resolutely.

"Fine." Ava nodded as she straightened.

Vegeta just nodded. This is going to be bad...He smirked. Bad for the humans...

AN: Sorry, I guess I won't be updating daily, very sick right now, gotta go. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
