What If: Vegeta Had Been Sent To The Earth?
By Moonraker One
CHAPTER SEVEN - A Surprising Desire, a surprising twist
They all stood there, eagerly awaiting Bulma's wish. None of them knew what she would ask the dragon to give her, they just wanted to hear what it was. Yamcha figured that she would ask the dragon for a boyfriend, then thought about Vegeta, and discarded that thought. Roshi was having second thoughts about his worthiness to make a wish; after all, if she was going to stall, why couldn't he make his instead? He was about to speak up when Yamcha elbowed him. Roshi shot him a discouraging look as he resumed his normal posture. Suddenly, Bulma finished the sentence she started.
"I wish," she yelled to the Dragon, "That I was born a Saiyan Elite, just like my friend Goku here.
The wish took them all completely off guard. Yamcha, who heard the wish but did not believe, tripped in shock and fell over backwards. Scrambling to get up, he pulled Roshi down with him. Frustrated at trying to get up, Roshi kicked Yamcha in the gut and leaped to his feet. Puar and Oolong helped Yamcha to his feet and they all stood there, utterly taken by surprise as a column of light rose around Bulma. Vegeta, who had been completely knocked off his feet by Bulma's decisive words, walked closer to her as the light dissipated. When she stood up, she was wearing her same clothes, but had a tail and her hair was in clumps now rather than groups of strands. To Vegeta, she was always pretty, but was now downright beautiful. Even Yamcha, who was not into the sort of thing, had to agree; her outward appearance had improved.
"B…Bulma," Vegeta replied, "Tell me why you chose to wish for that."
Bulma smiled as she approached him. "Because I love you," she replied, "and I feel that if we are the same type, it will be easier for us to bond."
Her logic was impeccable; he felt himself more attracted to her now that she was a Saiyan. The two Saiyans looked at the group that was looking as they hugged, and so, they backed off in embarrassment. Yamcha came closer to the two, and told them that he had made a decision.
"Goku," he said, "I've decided to go to the city and try to make a new life for myself. For too long, I've lived in the desert stealing from people, and maybe I should try and make something of myself."
Vegeta shook Yamcha's hand. "That's a wise decision, Yamcha," he replied. "I have to admit, you're getting better at this!"
Vegeta draped his hand over Bulma's shoulder and faced Roshi and the others. "Well," he said, "I guess this is goodbye."
"Not so fast!" Roshi replied. "I want to introduce you to a student of mine. I think that you two will get along good together!"
Vegeta looked at Bulma. "Bulma?" He asked, kneeling. "Will you marry me?"
Bulma smiled at him. "There's no need."
Vegeta cocked an eyebrow in confusion. "Why?"
"Saiyans consider each other married as soon as they fall in love, remember?"
Vegeta slapped himself in the forehead. "Duh!? Why'd I forget?!"
With that, they flew off, leaving the others in their dust. As they went over the landscape, flying at top speed with no destination, they both sensed something strange. It was Saiyan ki, but it was coming up from up ahead.
Landing, Vegeta approached the space pod. "Who are you, he asked."
Who indeed?
