Bulma + Vegeta are going to be seventeen in this chapter (it's more interesting that way.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Last time:
Bulma looked at Vegeta with tears streaming down her face, "Remember Vegeta, we'll meet again, someday. I promise, don't forget me!" she replied, as she was placed gently into a spaceship.
She sat there looking through the peephole, watching as Vegetasai became no more then a speck in the universe.
Vegeta fell to his knees and released a howl of pain. "She was gone, the only person in the universe that he had ever cared about." Vegeta did something that he had never done before, he cried.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The darkness swallowed him whole, turning the whole universe against him. Flashes of red blurred his vision, making him sick with fear. Eyes of the past, the dead's tortured cries of pain and anger haunted his very existence. The devil struck out at him in deranged fury, breaking his will to fight. Destroying his whole world, molding him into a killer, a murderer, casting his heart in stone. Untouched by all, he lived his life in solitude, and pure anger. Only one person would survive his wrath, the only person that he'd ever trusted.
Vegeta tossed and turned painfully in his sleep, trying to overcome his nightmares.
A rat crawled through his room, which was fried almost instantly by a Ki blast. Vegeta scowled at himself in the dark, memories were the past, and nothing could hurt him anymore. Not even Frieza. He had destroyed everything in Vegeta's life, his home, his family, and eventually Bulma.
"Bulma," he whispers longingly as he stared at the ceiling blankly.

Flashback:
"Monkeys! Get your weak pathetic asses to the control room, there's something I'd like to inform you about," snapped a silky feminine voice.
Vegeta was currently thirteen, not quite a teenager, yet not quite a child anymore.
"Well, what are you waiting for," growled Vegeta angrily. "Lizard face wishes to speak with us," he said mockingly.
"Yes sire," muttered Bardock, Raditz (someone please tell me how to spell his name) and Nappa, before following their leader faithfully.
They walked in silence towards the control room, each o them dreading it for a different reason.
"Frieza must be up to something," conclude Vegeta mentally. "Why else would he want to personally talk to us?"
"Lord Frieza," spat Vegeta as he went on his knees and bowed. "How may we serve you today?"
Frieza raised an eyebrow in amusement; it seemed that the monkeys were especially obedient today.
"I have some unfortunate news for you," replied Frieza in mock sadness. "Do you remember the planet Aphasia?"
Vegeta nodded in conformation, while visible tensing.
"Their planet had always be rebellious, however I' never thought that they'd be stupid enough to wage war against us," said Frieza with an evil glint in his eyes. "I had no other choice but to destroy them."
"All of them?" chocked Vegeta as he took deep breaths trying to calm himself. "Oh shit, Bulma was living on Aphasia, what if she's dead," thought Vegeta in panic.
Frieza looked at Vegeta with a cold calculating glance. "Yes, why would you even care about a weakling planet?"
Vegeta snarled in anger and disbelief. He rushed towards Frieza fueled by furry and pain. "You destroyed my life," hissed Vegeta as he threw a kick at Frieza's head; only to be thrown painfully against the wall.
Vegeta ignored the pain and leapt back towards Frieza releasing a frenzy of kicks and punches. "You kill her," he gasped, as Frieza sent a punch at his stomach. "The only person that I've ever care about."
Frieza smiled cruelly, he hadn't expected such a rise out of the little monkey, he didn't know that Vegeta had a best friend before.
Frieza continued to beat Vegeta to pulp. "You should have been there Vegeta, to watch me kill the Aphasians. Especially the royalty."
Before darkness began to envelop Vegeta, his last thoughts were, "Bulma, I'm sorry, I'll revenge you someday."
End of Flashback
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Vegeta shook his head vigorous as if trying to rid himself of his memories. He was a mercenary, a warrior, one of the strongest in the universe. However he was still under the control of the damned tyrant, revenge was the only thing that kept him alive, nothing mattered to him anymore.
He climbed out of his colt, and heard a faint beeping on his scouter. Absentmindedly he turned it on, hearing the sounds of battle.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile on Earth:
Bulma sighed as she looked at the sky, Aphelia was gone, as well as Vegetasai. Her people had sacrificed their lives to ensure her safety; nothing would ever be the same again. "Vegeta," whispered Bulma, as she glanced down at broken heart in her palm. "I wish you were alive," she murmured longingly, before walking back into her room.
Today she had her pals had planned to reunion party on Roshi's island. She had missed them dearly; it had just been too long.
Bulma released a small chuckle, "I wonder how much stronger they've become? I wonder whether or not I should tell them I could fight?" she smirked slyly, as she pulled out a capsule and flew towards the Island.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Roshi's Island:
Krillin scanned the horizon, in apprehension. "What's taking them so long? It's not like Bulma to be late, however Goku probably forgot about our reunion," he said as he rolled his eyes casually. He however stopped in mid thought when a long thump shook the island, indicating Bulma's arrival.
"Long time no see Bulma!" greeted Krillin cheerfully, "Have you seen Goku yet?"
"Back at you," replied Bulma, as she jumped gracefully down from the airplane. "Goku isn't here?"
"Nope," responded Krillin, as he led the way towards the Kame House. "I wonder how he's doing?"
Bulma's head snapped towards the horizon, she had sensed a two Ki approaching drastically, and one of them happened to be Goku.
A few seconds later, Goku landed on the island carrying a little kid.
"Who's the kid?" asked Bulma curiously, as she stole at glance at the kid.
Goku scratched his head for a second before replying, "He's my son."
