Last time:

"Need me?" said Bulma as she released a hysterical laugh. "Since when did you ever need me for anything? You've never shown once, in my whole entire life that you've ever appreciated or treated me decently."

"Onna, I," started Vegeta before he was rudely cut off by Bulma.

"Besides you seem content upon making your own decisions, you don't need my help in anything," snapped Bulma lashing out at Vegeta in anger. "I've had enough," she screeched, as she threw her hands up in frustration. "I'm leaving."

"Bulma, please don't go," he begged softly, his heart was braking in two. "Please," when he looked up he realized that she was gone.

"NO!" he roared angrily, as he dropped to his knees. Shaking the ground with his cries. "She was gone, just like everyone else in his life."

~*~*~~**~~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**

The Z fighters jerked up in surprise when they felt then emergence of an immense power.

"What the," gasped Piccolo in shock, as the ground shook with fury. "What's going on?" he snapped nervously.

Nappa casually flipped on his scouter indifferently, however after taking a glance at the numbers his eyes budged out in shock. "That's impossible!" he replied shakily after regaining his composure. "The prince, his power is exploding," he whispered in awe.

"You.you mean he's stronger then before?" stuttered Gohan in fear as he held on for dear life. The tremors were increasing dramatically and the air was crackling with electricity.

"That's right," announced Nappa proudly. "Now he might actually stand a chance against that lizard Frieza!"

"Frieza? Who's he?" muttered Krillin as he scratched his head in confusion. "He can't be that strong could he?"

Nappa glowered angrily at those words. "Are you trying to tell me you've never even heard his name before?" he said in a low and dangerous tone.

"That's right," replied Krillin who obviously didn't catch Nappa's threatening tone. "What's the deal with him?"

"He's the strongest being in the universe," snapped Nappa, with disgust evident in his eyes. "He shows no mercy whatsoever, evil feeds him, pain gives him pleasure."

Gohan shuddered fearfully, "Wow, that's amazing, I've never heard of such a cruel person before."

"That's not all that he's done," muttered Nappa angrily as he punched the cliff in anger. "He destroyed our planet, destroyed our hope and heritage. There's nothing he could do to us now. We welcome death with open arms."

Gohan nodded sympathetically, "Look, I might not be a full-blooded Sayian, but I understand," he muttered truthfully, as he looked Nappa straight in the eyes. "I don't know what I would do if earth was destroyed."

A tiny glint of understanding flashed across Nappa's eyes, before disappearing instantly. He shook his head in trying to think straight. "Damn why couldn't I've been born with a bigger brain," he complained while scratching his head in confusion.

Piccolo remained silent during the whole exchange; however he stood silently and proclaimed, "What I wanna know is why Vegeta's Ki increased suddenly, since he obviously wasn't fighting."

"It must have something to do with Bulma," thought Piccolo, as he waited patiently for the other's responses. "Vegeta wouldn't hurt her, he cares about her. I could see it in his eyes," he thought looking concerned.

Meanwhile Krillin, Gohan were pondering nervously. "What do you think happened?" muttered Gohan as he jabbed Krillin hard in the ribs.

"How should I know?" he snapped, however softened his tone when he saw Gohan's hurt expression.

Krillin sighed in despair, the Z-fighters were drifting further and further apart, none of them trusted each other anymore. It was like as if the Sayian's arrival was destiny, a test of friendship.

"Well, I suppose something is wrong with Bulma," he exclaimed suddenly, causing the warriors to look up in surprise.

"You're right," exclaimed Piccolo,"Her Ki is fluctuating like crazy!"

"Well as far as I could tell, they're angry at each other," said Nappa sinisterly. "I think we should use their anger to our advantage."

"What do you have in mind?" questioned Piccolo, instantly regretting his words. "Damn me and my stupid mouth," he said bonking himself on the head mentally.

"The prince would just have to leave earth without her," he said chuckling softly under his breath.

Krillin nodded in agreement, however looking a bit hesitant, "I suppose that's for the best."

"I second that," shouted Gohan, who was jumping up and down energetically. "Now Bulma would return back to normal! She's been different ever since Vegeta arrived."

"So do we have an agreement?" asked Nappa, staring pointy at Piccolo.

Piccolo cursed softly under his breath, "I agree," he muttered reluctantly. As much as he hated the thought, he knew that earth would be safer without them. However there was Bulma to think about, she cared deeply about Vegeta, and whether she knew it or not he did too.

"Good, now all I have to do is convince Vegeta that it would be best for us to depart off of this mud ball," continued Nappa. "On the other hand, you weaklings have to convince the girl that Vegeta hates her and doesn't want anything to do with her. It's simply really."

The other three nodded in agreement, after all, the plan sounded reasonable, nothing could go wrong. Could it?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

He was surrounded in a haze, blood was clouding his vision. The world had come to an end, nothing mattered anymore. He clenched his fists in anger, squeezing so tightly that his knuckles had turned ghost white. He had accidentally torn open his lip, and it was now bleeding profoundly.

He slammed his fist onto the ground, releasing his frustrations and anger upon Earth. He felt no pain when he pulled out his hands which were dripping with a sickening red liquid. "Damn her," his mind cried out painfully. "Damn her!" he roared.

Why did I have to see her again? To feel her touch, to hear her laughter. I missed her so much, all these years I thought she was dead. "Yet now," he said laughing hysterically at the irony of the situation, "Now that I discover that she's alive, she throws me out of her life, as if I've never existed."

"But no matter what, I just can't blame her for everything. She was once my best friend, once," he whispered softly. "She's right about one thing, I'm evil, and I always will be. Bulma would always remain pure it's just the way we were made. When Frieza destroyed my planet and took me in, my destiny was certain. We were never meant to be together, she deserves a friend worthy of her. Someone that would care about her, help her though the bumps in her life, someone that is like her..." he trailed off into silence.

Vegeta roughly wiped the tears from his eyes, ignoring the fact that his hands were covered in blood. He had just heard footsteps approaching, although he would never admit it, he hoped that it was Bulma.

However much to his disappointed it was Nappa not Bulma who emerged from behind the tree. "Vegeta," he said bowing his head in respect. "What happened to you?" he asked raising his eyebrows in surprise, when he caught sight of all the cuts and blood. "Did she do something to you?" he asked menacingly.

Much to Nappa's surprise Vegeta instead of jumping into his "I'm the prince of all Sayian's speech," he replied, "Something like that."

"Vegeta, if I may suggest that since there's not point in staying on this mud ball any longer. It would be for the best if we headed towards Namek to find the dragonballs," suggested Nappa, who was praying silently that the prince would listen to his suggestion.

Vegeta, who was too tired mentally and physically to put up much of a fight, agreed reluctantly. "It would be for the best," he thought hesitantly, ignoring the pain his heart was emitting. "Now Bulma's life could return back to normal," he whispered hoarsely.

Nappa stood with his mouth open in complete shock, he had just done the impossible. He had just convinced Vegeta to do something, this was definitively a first.

"Well then in that case let's leave instantly," he replied with forced indifference, while he was actually dancing inside. (Don't worry, I'll kill Nappa when they get to Namek.hate his guts)

The two Sayians walked calmly toward the destination of their spaceship, knowing that there would be no turning back now.

Vegeta took one last glance behind him before bowing his head in sadness. "Goodbye Bulma," he whispered mentally. "I'm sorry about the pain that I've caused you, just try and forget about me, you'll be better off here on earth, you belong here."

"I'll never forget you," he whispered softly before squaring his shoulders and marching slowly but deliberately towards the space ships. The sun was setting, painting the sky with blood and pain. Their job here was finished.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Bulma was sitting in a meadow, her head bowed in pain. Her lavender hair cascaded around her shoulders like a waterfall. She stared blankly at the blood red rose in her hand, before scrunching it up tightly in her fist.

The breeze blew gently about her, soothing her aching heart. Bulma looked up in disgust before tossing the remains of the rose into the wind.

I won't cry, I won't let that bastard get the best of me. I can't believe I wasted so many tears a worthless murderer. Why me? Why did I choose him as my best friend? I gave him my heart, but he broke it, threw it back in my face. How could he betray my trust like that?

Bulma sighed in despair; she didn't seem to know anything anymore. She didn't feel like she belonged anywhere. Although she had become accustomed to the customs and people of earth, she still missed someone that she could talk to. She wanted someone from her own race, someone that she could relate to. (Lol.Goku doesn't count, he lost his memory.)

Who was she? Was she just the heir to the richest and most prospering company on earth? Was she just a scientist with the potential of becoming the smartest in the universe? Or was she a princess of a dead race? (If you've forgotten, she's the royalty of Aphasia, she's half sayian, half Aphasian.)

She pushed all thoughts about Vegeta to the back of her mind, when she remembered Yamacha's caring smile, and Goku's funny attitude. It didn't matter who or what she was, as long as she had friends that care.

Bulma's expression turned serious, "I've got to think of a way to wish them back," she muttered softly. "But how? The dragonballs won't be active for another year, and by then it'd be too late to wish them back."

A true smile lit her face as she jumped up with joy, praising herself for her cleaver discover. They could go to Namek and wish them back!

Meanwhile the Z-fighters were watching her closely, "Now?" muttered piccolo, who was answered by the nods of his two companions. "Let's go."
