Sabriel stopped. A jolt ran through her body, 'Vegeta' she thought and ran
towards his room. "King Vegeta smirked, 'That's my boy' he thought and also
started towards Vegeta's room. He reached the stairs when Sabriel turned
the corner at a high speed. "Ow." She said and rubbed her head. "What is
your head made of, titanium?" King Vegeta rubbed the bump on his forehead.
She looked at him and their eyes met, she smiled and he nodded.

"What are you two doing?" asked Vegeta. "Nothing." Said Sabriel as she got
up. "I know what it might've looked like." King Vegeta started to explain.
"Do you really?" Vegeta put his hands on his hips. "No." King Vegeta said
and crossed his arms over his chest. "We ran into each other." Sabriel
explained. Vegeta looked at her. Sabriel got a weird feeling in her
stomach, like someone had cut it open and was moving their hands around.
Vegeta looked at her, looked through her, searched through her. "You
survived." King Vegeta was proud. He knew his son could do it, his son was
pure; those elders knew nothing when they said he had contaminated it. King
Vegeta was angry, he had feelings for Sabriel, not the kind of feelings for
Sayrian, but somehow they were stronger in the way he had risked his life,
and hers, to she could be with Vegeta, so she could be with him. So they
could be together.

That's what they were, together. A mother, a father, a son. Sabriel's
dream, together, her, her son's, her husband and her king. 'Why is she
still sad?' King Vegeta wondered, 'Could it be Vegeta? But she's with him
what more could she ask for?' King Vegeta pushed it away. "I knew you
could." He smiled at Vegeta. A warm friendly smile, then he did something
he had never done out of free will, something he had not done since his
father had been King, he bowed. Vegeta was startled. Sabriel followed.
Vegeta walked up and placed his hands on each of their shoulders. Sabriel
felt a jolt of warm electricity flow from his hand into her shoulder.

Bulma ran into the room, "We did it, we made a time machine!!!!!!" she
shouted and ran right into Vegeta and hugged him. Bardock walked into the
room beaming, "That woman is a genius." He grinned at Sabriel, "Now we can
go home." She swallowed the lump in her throat and forced a smile. "Thanks
Bardock, I couldn't have done it without you." They smiled at each other.

"I'm going to make lunch." Bulma announced. Bardock looked at Vegeta and
smiled. Vegeta remembered when Bardock had put his hand on his shoulder
when he was young. He smiled before he even realized he had. 'My mouth
hurts' thought Vegeta.

"Hey mom!" shouted Trunks as he, Goten, Radditz, and Turles walked in the
house. "Trunks, mommy finished the time machine!" Bulma said excitedly as
she picked him up and hugged him. "Mo'om." Trunks complained, "You're
embarrassing me." Bulma laughed and put him down. Sabriel watched and felt
her heart drop. She turned and went out the window silently. The first one
to notice she was gone was Vegeta. He slipped out the door and followed her
ki.

'Tomorrow, we'll leave.' She thought and was hit with despair. 'What?' she
asked herself. 'I got to see my Kakorot and Turles and Radditz. Why can't I
go?' She walked through the forest. She stopped at the lake and looked
around. She remembered the last time she was there, with King Vegeta. She
shook her head and focused on a different memory. The birth of Vegeta. The
day a mother has been waiting for all her life. The wait, the pain, the
hope, and then, the moment a mother never forgets, when a woman can call
herself a mother. The moment the child is placed into your arms, they way
the curl up against as if they were made to fit just right. Then they look
into your eyes.

Sabriel thought about each of her son's eyes every night. They all had
looked up at her; they all had the same coal black eyes that glittered like
stars. They were all filled with love, and wonder, and trust. She had
looked down at them with the same look in her eyes. Kakorot always had wide
eyes, full of wonder, excitement, and respect for the world around him,
Radditz had his father's eyes, a hard cover placed over the warmth and the
kindness, Turles had eyes full of adventure, the beginning of a new day,
the pleasure of victory. And there was Vegeta, Vegeta looked down at her,
even when she was taller, she had always felt he looked down at her, he
held pain and pride, coldness and the love for victory, the hate for
weakness, and the same confused look his father had when people showed
emotions too much.

She was sitting in the grass thinking of Vegeta when he walked up and sat
next to her. His hand passed over hers. He picked it up and put his up to
it. "We have the same hands." He said and looked directly into her eyes.
Sabriel gasped, she was looking directly at him, not up, directly at HIM!
"Yes, Sayrian has the same hands too." She lied. Sayrian's hands were
longer, they looked frail and clumsy. Sabriel's hands were perfect, slim
with long fingers, not too long, shortened finger nails without nail
polish, they were strong, yet soft. Vegeta just nodded. "Have you reached
Super Sayain yet?" she asked. Vegeta looked out at the lake and remembered.
**********************************************************
"Goodnight." Sabriel said and pulled the blankets up. She frowned and
picked up his dirty clothes. She saw a book poking out from under his bed
and picked it up. It was a book all about the past Super Sayain. She smiled
and looked at Vegeta. She was surprised when he looked right back at her;
he was only pretending to be asleep. "Super Sayain, huh?" she asked. Vegeta
just nodded, expecting her to laugh in his face the way his mother had. She
smiled and nodded, "You know how to make a dream come true?" she asked.
Vegeta was curious to what she would say next so he shook his head. "Well,
first you wake up, you get ready, you focus, you work, and if you want it
bad enough to make it come true, it will happen. You can't just wish for
it, you have to work for it." She got up and left.
*************************************************************

Vegeta looked at Sabriel and said, "Well, I woke up, I focused, I trained
hard, I wanted it bad enough, I worked hard for it." She blinked. Then she
too remembered and laughed, "I guess I'll take it as a yes." "Can you tell
me about my mother?" he asked her suddenly and took her by surprise. Her
smile vanished and she looked terrified. "I never really knew her." She
said and looked away so he couldn't see the tears that threatened to flow
down her cheeks.

"Tell me what you did know about her." Vegeta pressed on. She turned and
smiled sadly, "I knew she loved you very much, I knew she would die for
you, she was proud of you, and to this day still is." She looked back at
the lake and watched the moonlight blur. "She did." Vegeta said and slowly
got up and walked away. Sabriel was confused. 'What did he mean she did?
She did what?' She thought.

She got up and slowly walked back to CC. When she got inside everyone was
seated at the table, they all turned and looked at her. "I think it's about
time we all sat down and talked.".
