Chapter 2 "Vegeta's past Part 2"

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball z. I do own Sapphire

AN: Thank you to those who reviewed chapter 1. Here is Chapter 2. (Sorry for the long wait. Right when I went to post this, the site shut down. So as a bonus, later today I will post chapter 3 as well. Thanks for your patience)( Enjoy!

The room is silent. It is almost like time has stopped.. Everyone is just sitting around, wondering what is going on. Vegeta is still sitting and staring at the pictures.

" Where did you find these?" Vegeta mumbles to Trunks. Trunks doesn't answer. " I SAID, WHERE DID YOU GET THESE!!!!!" Demands Vegeta. Trunks angered expression soon turns to an expression of concern.

" I found..I found them in the basement. " Trunks stutters. He has never seen such an intense look in his father's eyes before.

" WHY, were you SNOOPING through my stuff, BOY !!!!!! " I wasn't snooping! I found them by accident. A stack of boxes fell and I tripped over them. They were in one of the boxes." Trunks stops speaking and waits a little for his father to yell again. Silence is all he receives.

" FATHER, YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION.WHAT ARE THESE PICTURES AND WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!!!!! Everyone in the room thinks Trunks has lost it. (I mean this is Vegeta he is yelling at) Bulma herself is even stunned about what is going on between her husband and her son. " What is going on between you two. Trunks, what is wrong with you?" She says Both Vegeta and Trunks just ignore her as they stare into each other's eyes. Both of them are waiting for the other to speak first. Vegeta then spoke. " FINE BOY, if you want to KNOW so damn bad, then I will tell you. Since you decided to make my personal life public knowledge. Vegeta says as he goes back to sit in his chair.

" Thank you father" Everyone at the table becomes intrigued by what Vegeta might say. Vegeta starts to clear his throat.

I found this stuff when I went to search for Kakarrot after his battle with Frieza. They were on planet 79, which was the last planet Frieza and his crew where on, before he departed for Namek. The stuff in this box is at least 25 years old. The photos were taken while I was still serving for Frieza. There were only 5 of us then, but it was enough for us to help each other get through the hard times. The hard times that were brought on by Frieza." As Vegeta continued to speak, his angered look soon turns into a very dazed look. It almost looks as if he is mesmerized by the photos. " My comrades in the first picture will look familiar to most of you when you see them." Vegeta then sets the picture down on the table. Everyone looks at each other with confusion. The picture is of three tall and well built male Saiyans.

" That's my brother Raditz! Goku says sounding surprised. "Hey, isn't that your old partner that you blew up, Vegeta?" Goku exclaims. Vegeta tries to ignore Goku's ignorant comment. " Hey dad, that other guy in the picture looks a lot like you." Gohan states " Sure does son." " That is Turlis. He was quite strong, but of course no where near as powerful as me." Vegeta replies with a smirk As everyone continues to pass around the first picture, Vegeta goes silent again. He finds himself staring at the picture of him and the mysterious girl. " Father, are you alright." Trunks asks. Vegeta looks up from the picture and notices everyone at the table is staring at him. They are eager for him to continue. " The next picture nobody has seen in a long time." Vegeta decides to have Bulma pass the picture around to everyone. " The girl in the picture is also an old comrade of mine. Her name was Sapphire. She was an amazing warrior, and never let anyone stand in her way." A smile comes to Vegeta's face as he continues to speak of his beautiful female comrade. Bulma hasn't seen Vegeta like this since her and him got married. As any wife would, she starts to get jealous. " THIS PERSON SOUNDS JUST PERFECT. IF SHE IS SO GREAT, THEN WHY AREN'T YOU WITH HER NOW, HUH.SHE WAS 100% SAYIAN TOO.YOU TWO COULD GO AND BLOW UP PLANETS TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!" Bulma yells as she starts to ramble in a fit of rage.

" LISTEN WOMAN, IT IS NO CONCERN OF YOURS WHAT SHE IS OR WAS TO ME." THAT IS MY BUSINESS, NOT YOURS!!!!!!! Vegeta argues.

" OH AND I SUPPOSE THAT DIAMOND RING IS FOR YOU! I AM YOUR WIFE, IF YOU WERE ENGAGED, THEN I DESERVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW! YOU WERE ENGAGED WEREN'T YOU... JUST ADMIT IT!!! WHAT HAPPENED VEGETA, DID YOU GET BORED WITH HER! DID SHE NOT MEET UP TO YOUR PRINCE LIKE STANDARDS!!!! Bulma yells as she crosses her arms and turns her back to Vegeta.

" LISTEN WOMAN. YOU SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!!!!!! SINCE YOU SEEM TO CARE SO MUCH. LET ME MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU. SAPPHIRE IS DEAD. SHE LOST HER LIFE, ALONG WITH TURLIS, IN A BATTLE AGAINST FRIEZA'S MEN." Bulma just stands there feeling like an idiot. She really doesn't know what to say. She is in shock. Vegeta can't take anymore. He walks over to Trunks, and tells him to bring the box up from the basement. He brings the box to Vegeta .He then pulls out a dusty videotape, and walks over to Goku.

" You IDIOTS don't deserve to know the rest, but kakarrot this you should watch. It might answer some of your questions. There is also something else on there that you might be interested to know about." Vegeta hands Goku the tape, then leaves the room. Goku stares at the tape for a second. " Dad, lets watch it." Says an eager Goten. Everyone makes their way to a viewing room on the second floor. Goku proceeds to put the tape in the VCR. Many thoughts run through everyone's minds. Would these answers help find pieces to the puzzle.

" Here goes nothing." Goku says as he pushes play.

Well, that is the end of chapter 2. I hope you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for Chapters 3 and 4, which will be up very soon! Thanks again. Please R&R. Blaze
