(AN: I wasn't sure were to put this so.. Just to clear some things up... I haven't been to discriptive in anyone's age too well and I appologize. Vegeta: 11, Kakarrot: 10, Bulma: 10, Raditz: 12, Napa: 12, Eriol: 15 & Cole: 8. I also appologize for the age jumping; I kinda made a mistake along the line.. Heh. So, I hope that clears up everything. Um, anyother character will most likely be about the same age. If anything changes or I add more characters I'll make sure to say their ages. Oh! And one more thing.. I didn't notice before, but the last chapter has a LOT of spelling errors. Sorry about that. ^-^; Well on with the story!)



Chapter 17

"Did you get a letter from your father?" Tara asked.

"My father?" Bulma questioned as the other girl pointed to the return address. "Freeza?"

"Yeah."

"He's not my father,"

"I know that, but is it from him?" She questioned again.

"Yeah," Bulma answered. "I think I'm gunna go back to my room and read it."

"Alright, and Bulma?"

"Yeah?"

The other girl just smiled and walked away not saying anything. Bulma nodded knowing what that meant an turned around and started running back to her room. When she got there she locked her door and opened it..

"Come on Raditz!" Kakarrot whined. "Your taller than me, give it back!"

"What do you need a scouter for?" He then put it on and went into his room.

Growling Kakarrot was about to enter when he noticed Bulma rushing out of her room with a bunch of blue prints. He was just about to call to her as she zipped past him dropping a couple while she ran, Kakarrot picked them up and followed after. What this was all about he didn't know.

She ran fast nearly losing Kakarrot in the twists and turns down halls he'd never been down, finally he had caught up to her but when he found her..

"Freeza!" Bulma yelled happily as she jumped into his arms.

The white lizard smiled warmly at his little blue kitten as he called her. Kakarrot turned and ran off completely forgetting the blue print in his hand and went to find Vegeta.

"Have you been good?" Freeza questioned as he ran his hand through her hair affectionately.

"Yes! Very good." She chirped.

"Did you get my present?"

"Present?" Bulma asked visibly confused.

"Yes, I sent you a tutor. Ayame, Eriol Ayame." Freeza replied.

"Eriol! You sent him here for me?" Freeza nodded. "T-Thank you!" She beamed with happiness.

Freeza gave a heartwarming smile, (uh-huh)

"And what is this?" Freeza wondered aloud as he placed her back onto her feet and picked up a blue print Bulma had previously dropped.

"Oh! I wanted to show you all my newest inventions."

"What a little busy bee you have been." Bulma giggled as she picked up all her prints and followed Freeza off towards a more secluded area.

********

"VEGETA!" Kakarrot yelled from the end of the hall.

I looked over my shoulder as Kakarrot came tarring down the hall nearly knocking me over.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" I yelled shoving him away.

"Freeza's here!"

My eyes widened.

"Where's Bulma?!"

Kakarrot paused before telling me she was with him.

"What the hell is he doing back so soon?" I barked as the two of us ran down hall after hall to find where Kakarrot had been before.

Damnit this was so confusing! I growled as we finally made it to the docking bay where Freeza had landed his ship. However Freeza was no where to be found and more importantly neither was Bulma.

"Shit! Where'd they go!" Kakarrot panicked.

He balled his fist and that's when I noticed the blue print. How something that size could escape my noticing it was beyond me, but Kakarrot seemed to forget its purpose.

"Oh yeah, before when we were in our room she dropped this. I was trying to give it back but she was running so fast." He explained.

"Let me see that."

I took the blue print and rolled it open to find what it looked like an idea for a one person space ship. The craftsmanship was awesome, I was greatly impressed. However when I thought back to what Kakarrot had told me about Bulma's behavior I realized she wanted to show them to Freeza.

Growling I rolled up the print and turned to Kakarrot.

"We have to find her."

"Yeah, but where do we look-" "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" An Australian accent called from the ships ramp.

"Zarbon." I sneered. "So you came to, why bother, your out of your job."

Zarbon chuckled then turned a sly grin towards me.

"I don't suppose your buddy there told you how your little criminal jumped all over Lord Freeza, did he?" I turned a cold glance to Kakarrot who narrowed eyes with Zarbon. "But you see Vegeta, I know where Freeza and that little minks went off to. But seeing how we're on such short terms you'll just have to find her on your own."

Bastard!

(AN: Yay another chapter! I can't help but imagine what Zarbon would look like as a 10 year old. ^-^; Very adorible I would think.)
