What if: Vegeta had been sent to Earth
By moonraker one

Author's note: In this story, Instead of Goku being sent to Earth, Vegeta was instead. Gohan found him and named him Goku, so that's what the other characters will call Vegeta. I, however, will still call him Vegeta. This note is here to avoid possible confusion. And, several things have been slightly or drastically changed about the Dragonball timeline.

CHAPTER ONE - Bulma and the Monkey Prince

[haha!] Bulma thought. [I knew it! The Dragonball is in this area!]

She smiled as she drove towards the location shown on the dragon radar. What she didn't know was that the person she'd meet on this path would change her life forever. Also, she didn't understand why there was large fish in the road that was moving. Then, again to her surprise, the figure turned around. She panicked, but she couldn't avoid hitting him.

bam!

He stood up, and started towards the vehicle. "Hey!" He yelled. "Watch where you are going!"

She was freaking out like hell, and the fact that he continued towards the car didn't help. She closed her eyes tightly when he ripped the door off the car, and pulled her out. She was busy with two different things: one, hoping he had at least one merciful bone in his body, and two, praying to god that he didn't kill her too slowly. Instead of killing her, however, he smiled and backed off after briefly examining her.

"I'm sorry if I scared you, but I wanted to check to see if you were hurt."

She opened her eyes; he actually was not that scary up close, and she thought he was cute, by girl standards. The only problem by her standards was that he was a bit scrawny.

She blinked. "You mean, you're not going to kill me?"

He started to laugh a bit. "Hell no. Why would I?"

She brushed herself off. He extended his hand in friendship. "Why don't you come back to my place, and I'll cook this fish that I caught?"

She was a bit confused as she followed him. [First, you rip off my car door, then you offer me food? You're weird.]

As she walked, she asked him what his name was. He either didn't hear her, or didn't want to respond. When they got back, he put the fish on the fire, and sat down next to her. "Oh," He said. "Back there you wanted my name? I'm Son Goku."

That's about when she noticed the Dragonball. She ran over and grabbed it. She smiled as she stared into it.

"Wow!" She exclaimed. "You have a Dragonball!"

He picked it up and looked at it. "My grandpa gave this to me."

He took the fish off of the fire and handed out the food. As they ate, Bulma talked. A lot. It was weird to him how much she talked. He'd only met one other person in his life, and Gohan didn't talk that darn much.

"Son Goku," She said. "Where're you from?"

"I'm a Saiyan from a planet called Vegeta."

She burst out laughing. "Planet Vege..what?"

"Vegeta. Didn't you notice the tail? All saiyans have them."

She continued laughing. "Whatever, dude."

She suddenly had an idea. "Hey, how about you help me on my quest to find the other Dragonballs?"

He smiled. "So, you're trying to gather the other Dragonballs? Okay. I guess I don't have anything better to do than help you."

She popped up. "Yes! You won't regret it!"

He led her to her bedroom, and he went to his. Both went to sleep wondering what would happen next.
