*****Somewhere in space close to Earth. (I skipped maybe two weeks)
"Now initiating wake-up process." The mechanical voice said in all of the pods but one. The pods stopped deploying the chloroform so the travelers could wake-up. It took about one hour for the inhabitants to wake up.
"Braddock, how long do we have until we land?" Muttered the half drugged Vegita over the intercom.
"Erm, three hours. I think. I can't really see yet. Give me another few minutes." Braddock muttered leaning his head back.
"I'm hungry." Muttered another voice.
"Shut up Nappa. So am I." Said Radditz groggily.
"There should be food in one of the compartments." Said Braddock suddenly opening drawers.
"What?" Vegita said. "I didn't know they stored food in the pods!" He also began searching the drawers.
"It was something I made sure they put in the pods, so we don't starve of hunger." Braddock said still looking through the drawers. "But in all of the rush, they might have forgotten about it." He muttered.
"I found food!" Radditz said. He began looking at all of the freeze-dried food. "Damn it all freeze dried!" He threw the packages behind his shoulder then huffed and crossed his arms across his chest. "You need water. Speaking of which, do we have any water? Or anything to drink?" he began looking in drawers again.
"I think that you have to demand for water." Braddock said now pressing buttons.
"Oh, so what? You're supposed to say 'I want water now'?" Said Vegita rolling his eyes. Suddenly the consol started humming and a bottle of water appeared in a little cupboard that opened it's doors to make the water known. "I'll be damned." Vegita said taking the water, the cupboard promptly closed its doors.
"You just said 'I want water' right?" Said Nappa. Suddenly there was a humming noise over the intercom. "Damn it does really work." Said Nappa aghast he swiped the water from the compartment.
"So now how longer do we have Braddock?" Said Vegita rolling his eyes at Nappa's stupid ness.
Braddock looked at his display screen. "Doesn't it say on your display screen?" Growled Braddock.
"If it did would I be asking you?"
"Fine. Shut up. We have three hours and ten minutes. Eat something or something like that. Just leave me alone." Said Braddock.
"Oh, I would, but you have the pod with most of the information in it!" Sneered Vegita.
Braddock grunted. "I got the pod with 'all of the information' because your dad didn't trust you for obvious reasons."
"He's not my father anymore. This is exile. Stupid old man. I can fight Frieza!" Said Vegita slamming his fist on the consol making a large dent and breaking a few things.
"That is also why." Grunted Braddock.
"How much water is this planet made out of?" Said Nappa pressing his forehead to the glass.
Braddock started typing on the consol keypad. "It's 75% water and 25% land."
"It has too many clouds." Grumbled Vegita. At the moment he decided that he could and would complain about anything just to make everyone's life a living hell.
"That's weird how that one cloud looks like it's swirling over there." Nappa pressed his finger against the glass.
"It's called a hurricane you moron. You act like you've never seen one." Radditz shook his head. (Does Vegita-sei ever get hurricanes?)
"Why can't we just blow it up? It'd take no time what so ever." Said Nappa squinting his eyes. "It has to be a little smaller then most of the planets we've purged and destroyed."
"We weren't sent here to blow things up or destroy them. We need to make sure that the Chikyuu-jin understood why Vegita is going to stay here." Said Braddock growling. He only wished that he could slap Nappa a few times as hard as he could then tie him up and torture him for every stupid question he asks.
"I say to hell with it and destroy the weakling planet then leave." Said Vegita. He pointed his finger at the North American continent and started building up a little ki ball at the tip of his finger.
Nappa sensed the rise of ki. He knew that Vegita was doing. "If you wish to blow yourself up, make sure that you don't drag us along with."
"Shut up fag." He grumbled. "I want to get out of here. My muscles are starting to hurt from the lack of use."
"Well guess what... we only have... three more hours to go!" Said Braddock cheerfully. "Deal with it."
Bulma's room~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So let me get this straight. He called you about two weeks ago, saying he was sorry and what not. Then one week later, he calls again saying, this time, that he can't live without you? Then he comes over to your house, and asks you to be his fiancŽe?" Said 18.
"What did you do Bulma? I mean, that's crazy!" Said Chi Chi.
"I told him that we were over! I didn't want anything more to do with him! He just kinda looked at me, then he asked me again!" Said Bulma laying her bed with her phone.
"He didn't take that well, when you said no, did he?" Said Chi Chi her voice her voice very close to a whisper.
"Speak up Chi, I can hardly hear you over the static of my phone." Ordered 18.
"Well duh! I mean, he comes to my door expecting a yes! When I said no... hold on, the other line is ringing." He took the phone of her ear and pressed talk. "Hello? Bulma here."
"Bulma honey, It's mom! I'm just calling to tell you that your dad and I are almost home from our trip! Isn't that exciting?" Bulma heard her mom take a deep breath. Bulma was in trouble now. "Oh my gosh Bulma! You have no idea what you were missing! The sites! The restaurants! The language! The beach! The cute men running around the place!" Her mother squealed. "Darling you should have come! It's not good to stay inside the house all day long! It's always beautiful outside and not inside! Everyone knows that! (Try living in Arizona)"
"Trust me mom, I regret it. So how long until you get here?" Bulma really had wished that she went.
"Well I do believe that we'll be home in... give us two hours, no hour and a half. Oh darling next time you will come with us right? You need a break from everything! Maybe you can bring Yamcha! I'm sure that he'd like it!" Bulma shuddered at Yamcha's name.
"Mom, Yamcha and I are over." Bulma said in a serious tone.
"Oh, right dear, just remember that we'll be home in an hour and a half!" Said Bunny Briefs, not believing a word of it. "Bye sweet! We missed you! See you then!"
"Bye mom, I missed you too. Tell dad I missed him too."
"He misses you to honey! Lots of love darling!" The phone went dead. Bulma pressed channel.
"Hello? You guys are you still there?"
"I think that she should find... yeah we're here. Who was on the phone?" Said 18.
"My mom was on the phone. She called to tell me that she and dad were going to be home soon. That's all. What were you guys talking about?" Said Bulma somehow knowing what the conversation was.
"Oh, nothing we were talking about 17's new girlfriend. She has no idea what she's getting herself mixed up in." Said Chi Chi quickly. Bulma knew that wasn't it. It was about Yamcha and her. Bulma decided to play along anyway.
"What does she look like? Is she a complete slut or something else?" Bulma was hoping that they would get caught up in Chi's lie.
"She's really sweet! That's the odd thing! And the other day when 17 had her over, they were watching a movie in his room, and I swear I was just walking by, he tried to make a move on her, and she shook him off! He put his arm around her back, and she just shrugged her shoulders a couple of times then he removed his arm! And the weirdest part was, that she actually left instead of spending the night!" Said 18. {Ok, two can play at this game. I know what you want Bulma and your not getting it, lets hope Chi doesn't spill her guts.} Thought 18.
"Really? That's quite weird." {Ok that was too easy, I have to get them somewhere.} "What school does she go to? Is she out of college? Or out of high?" Bulma mentally slapped herself. That question was yet again too easy. He would date anything that was in high school or college, as long as he could screw with her for a while.
"She graduated from high school last year." Ok Bulma had to think now.
Ah yes, she had them now. "Can I meet her?" The silence over the phone was the only answer she needed.
"Um well you see," 18 started stuttering. "She doesn't live here anymore! She moved last week."
{Oh please} "Why did she move?"
"Err," There was a terrible silence for a few minutes. "Fine! We were talking about you and Yamcha!" Once again Bulma shuddered. "There are you happy now?" 18 was mad.
"Yes I am happy. You don't need to talk about it behind my back. We're over ok?" Bulma said laying her head on her pillows on her bed.
"We're sorry B, but, I don't know, we thought you were still touchy about the subject I guess.
"It's ok, hey I have an idea!" Said Bulma suddenly. "How about we-" The doorbell started ringing. "Uh, someone's at the door. I'll call you guys later ok?" Bulma started getting off her bed.
"Hey, If it's Yam-face, kick him in the nuts, if you won't do it, I will." Said 18 protectively. Bulma laughed.
"See you later B." Chi said, then her line went dead.
"Bye 18, see you later." Bulma hung up her cell phone and went down stair. The person at the door was still ringing it. Bulma yanked the door open. "What?" She saw a timid looking Goku cowering at the surprise of Bulma's sudden opening of the door.
"Can I use the Gravity Room?" Said Goku regaining his composure.
"Yeah! Can I use it too?" Said Gohan running around from the corner.
"Well it depends on what your dad says." Gohan gave his dad a pleading look.
"You were supposed to stay home. Chi's gunna be mad." He said frowning at his son. "But why not?" He said with a big smile. Bulma held the door open so they could get through. Before she closed the door her phone rang. (She brought it down stairs with her)
"Hello?" She said following Goku outside.
"HELLO?! BULMA?" Chi Chi screamed into the phone.
"What? Chi? What's wrong?" Bulma knew that Chi Chi was going to cry if something didn't happen soon, either that or someone was going to die.
"I CAN'T FIND GOHAN OR GOKU!!! DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY MIGHT BE?" Bulma had to hold the phone away from her ear if she didn't want to go deaf.
"Chi, calm down. They're here. They went to go practice in the Gravity Room."
"Oh, GET GOKU ON THE PHONE NOW!" Bulma ran outside to go find Goku before Chi Chi became irate.
"Goku! Chi Chi's on the phone!" Bulma said right on time. They were about to close the door. Goku stuck his head back out. His face was visibly paler. Bulma gave the phone to him. He carefully put it to his ear. "Hello?" He whispered.
"DAMMIT GOKU! NEXT TIME YOU LEAVE MAKE SURE YOU TELL ME!" Goku nearly dropped the phone. Bulma felt pity for him and his overly sensitive ears. He put the phone close to his ear.
"Uh, Chi?"
"COME HOME NOW! Please put Bulma back on." Goku handed the phone over to Bulma. Be called for Gohan who was protesting.
"Hello? Chi?"
"Hi B, I'm sorry. Goku just..." Chi heaved a big sigh.
"Yes I know. He's leaving right now."
"Thank you Bulma." Bulma hung up the phone and put it in her pocket. "All right I'm sorry but you have to go."
"Yeah I know. Come on Gohan." Goku tugged at Gohan'a arm.
"But but but but but, I want to play in the Gravity Room!" He said pouting.
"I'm sorry maybe another day." Then he flew up into the sky leaving a blue trail of light behind him.
Bulma shook her head at the retreating blue flare. She went inside to clean up the house for a bit. She got tired of that after fifteen minutes and made the bots do it. Then she went into her lab to start working on any unfinished inventions. She found one that was supposed to help plants grow in incredibly unfertile areas in hope to bring more food to third world nations. She was so busy that she didn't even hear her parents get home. She only realized that when her dad came into her lab.
"What are you working on now Bulma?" At the surprise of hearing her dad's voice she jumped and dropped the tool she had in her hand.
"Dad! You scared me so badly!" She said giving him a hug. "Have fun?"
"Oh yeah, same old same old. Rest and relation. Felt very good." He picked up the tool and set it on the table. "Come up stairs now. Lets go tell Bunny that we're hungry." They headed out of her lab to go find Bulma's mother.
*****Somewhere in space closer to Earth.
"Dammit Braddock how much longer now?" Said a grumpy Vegita squirming in his chair trying to eat his freeze-dried food.
"Only one more hour to go. Shut up." He said rubbing his temples. {This constant noise is making me crazy.}
"Can't they go any faster?" Whined Radditz. "I feel like I could kill someone when we get down there."
"Like you could actually do that you weakling." Said Nappa over the intercom.
"Ha! I could easily beat your ass! I could for certain kill those people on that planet." He said sweeping his hand across the little floating orb against the black.
"Hahahahahaha! You? A pathetic weakling? Don't make me laugh!" Radditz grumbled illegible words. "I bet I cold kill more people than you!"
"Ha! Over my dead body! I could kill more that you in a heart beat!" Radditz said pounding his chest with his fist.
"Yeah right. How many times have you lost against the prince? How many times have you lost against me?"
"I've beaten your ass more than you've beaten mine!"
"Yeah right! You're a load of shit!" Laughed Nappa. Vegita was listening to their conversation with a look of pure hate.
"Shut up! Both of you! I can beat you two with one hand tied behind my back!" He said crumpling the empty freeze-dried food wrapper. He threw it on the floor along with the rest.
"Yes your Highness, whatever you say." Mocked Nappa.
"How about I blow up your pod?" Said Vegita trying to figure out which one is his.
"And blow yourself up in the process? Oh I can't wait to see you in hell!" Chuckled Nappa crossing his arms against his chest.
"Ha! I'll see you there! Then I'll beat your ass to a pulp!" He said yelling over the intercom.
"SHUT UP YOU FUCK HEADS!" Braddock could take no more of it. "You all are giving me a headache!" Shouted Braddock rubbing his forehead. Vegita glared at the smashed speaker box. "When we get there, please resist the urge to kill one another. I will do the talking. Not you three. You three will probably fuck it up somehow. I'm not sure what their immediate actions will be. Just try not to scare anyone with your ugliness Nappa." Braddock was getting his revenge now. "Prince please, keep your temper down. We must make them think that this is a good idea. I brought some technology for them to mess around with. The king also made me bring some of..." He mumbled the rest.
"Of what? Speak up. If you want me to be on my best behavior, then speak up dammit! What did he make you bring?" The prince figured he wouldn't want to know in the first place, but it was better so he didn't flip out while they were talking with the humans.
"Your father made me bring some of your mother's jewelry." Me muttered into the intercom.
Vegita wasn't expecting this. "He what?"
"You heard me." There was a moment of silence. The four knew how Vegita's father killed his mother while she was trying to save her son. It was still a sore spot for Vegita.
"What is he trying to do? Ruin my mother's memories? Damn him."
"He only gave me a few, not many, just a few." Braddock said with a grimace. The silence lasted for a while. Everyone was afraid to say something, while Vegita was mad.
Vegita just stared out the window at the blue marble growing ever so closer. "How much longer until me land?" Said Vegita quietly.
"Forty minutes. Until we land." The silence once again reigned.
******The kitchen of Cap. Corp.
"And this, this is the loveliest waterfall I've ever seen!" Said the blonde hair lady Bulma called 'mom'.
"Um Bunny dear, aren't you going to make sure the food won't burn?" Said Dr. Brief's looking over his wife's shoulder to see the pan with the food smoking.
"Huh? Oh dear!" Bunny ran over to the pan. She immediately turned the heat down. "Don't worry! It's not burned!" She stirred the food with a big smile. Bulma shook her head. He looked through most of the pictures when her cell rang.
"Hello?" She said still looking at the pictures.
"Bulma? It's 18. Hey do you wanna go to a club tonight? I'm not doing anything plus I'm really bored! 17 might come with us. I tired calling Chi, but she's not there. Krillin said he definitely would. We can pick you up. Sooo... please?" Bulma could just imagine 18's puppy dog eyes.
She laughed at the thought. "Sure! But first I have to eat my dinner! I'll call you when I want you to pick me up k?"
"Excellent! I'll try Chi once more then call you back ok? See you then!" Bulma heard the tell tale click that said she had hung up. Bulma put the cell back in her pocket.
"Honey who was that?" Bulma's mother got almost every chance she got to pry into Bulma's life.
"That was 18. She wanted to know if I cold go to a club with her."
"Oh dear have fun! Are you going to stay for dinner?"
{Please mother, you overheard me talking} "Yeah, but I'm going to get dressed now so I can leave as soon as possible." She got up from the table and ran up the stairs. While in her room, she took a shower, put on her underwear, and raided her closet. Throwing random stuff out behind her shoulder. Finally she picked out a dark brown leather mini skirt (Oh boy is she lucky she's not going to the club in the middle of the day! It's the early spring by the way) and a tank top that looked like a tube top only it had one sleeve went across her right shoulder that held up the shirt.(Ahem, I can't really do this, sry, but use your imagination) She grabbed her denim jacket then went to her bathroom and applied very light make-up and glitter to her face and arms. She dried her hair and brushed it and let it fall naturally around her shoulders. She grabbed her lip-gloss to put on later so she doesn't smudge it while eating. She grabbed her stiletto heel boots that laced up to just under her knees (Come on you've sent them! Mostly something like Pink would wear) that made her at least four inches taller. She walked down stairs to only have to go back up to get her handbag and ID.
"Honey! Dinner's ready!" Bulma's mom called from the kitchen. She ran as fast as she could down the stairs.
*****Earth's Atmosphere
"Get ready for the impact." Said Braddock. They were sitting strapped in their chairs so they don't fly out the window upon impact.
"I bet I killed thirty people in one blast on Ma'tierjah. Beat that." Nappa said gloating.
Radditz was laughing. "Thirty? I killed fifty in one ki blast there!" Vegita was surprised that this argument was still going on.
"Shut up both of you before I make sure you two are killed." Muttered Braddock looking out the window. He could see cities, then he could see a large dome building with many other smaller ones surrounding it. {Capsule Corp} He thought. {Are we going to hit the buildings?} In stead they passed the buildings and landed in the clearing behind the buildings but in front of the forest with a large BAM! Not to mention the large craters each of the pods made as they landed making dirt fly everywhere.
****Inside the house.
The impact made the house shake causing both of the females to scream and panic. Dr. Brief's ran outside to where he thought he might see something. See something he did see. He saw four large white pods with large front windows that were opening very slowly with a quiet hiss. He just stood there as four large, burley men came from the pods. One was bald the other had impossibly long hair, the third had hair that stood up every direction defying gravity and looked oddly like Goku. The last had hair that looked like one large flame on the top of his head making him look much taller.
He heard his wife run up behind him telling him to get inside, but her was too stunned to move. Then he heard Bulma coming outside wanting to know what's going on. He turned around to tell her to get inside when he saw her already unmoving from fear and surprise. She started to run to her dad her blue hair flying behind her.
{What's going on here? Why is Goku with those men? What are they doing here?} Bulma thought as she ran to her dad. "Daddy, what's happening?" She whispered to him. "Why is Goku with them?" She said hiding behind her dad putting her hands on her dad's shoulders. Mrs. Briefs took one of Bulma's hands to put in it her own. There was a moment of uncomfortable silence. Neither side knew really what to do. Bulma was to busy looking at all of the men standing before her. Out of the four, only two really interested her. The one that looked like Goku, and the one that had the flame hair. The other two looked like they would rape her. She was snapped out of her trance when she heard people murmur and the shutters of cameras. {Shit, the last people we need.} She thought whipping her head the noise. "I'm going to get rid of them." She whispered to her dad. Her mom wouldn't let her go. "Mom, I'll be fine." She walked over to the unwanted people and told them that an accident happened and that it was nothing to worry about. The men? They are guests. But those white things... part of why the accident happened. She gave them her sweetest smile and waved to them. Every now and then one would compliment her on her looks. Once they were all gone, she walked back to her parents. But had to run back when one decided he wanted more pictures. She had to threaten them with the police. They ran because they knew her famous temper, but left their camera. She took the digital camera and started deleting the pics while walking over to her parents once again. "Daddy, what's happening?" She asked when she saw that they were trying to make conversation, or at least the one that looked like Goku was.
"We're talking dear, please go back to the house." She was about to walk in the house when she heard the Goku look alike talk.
"You are Dr. Brief's right? We need to talk."
Yeah! I'm on a roll! So yeah, I'm starting on the next chapter right now! How'd you like it? Yay! I have four reviews now! Sweet! Please send in more reviews. It'd make me very happy. Thanx all!

"Oh, so what? You're supposed to say 'I want water now'?" Said Vegita rolling his eyes. Suddenly the consol started humming and a bottle of water appeared in a little cupboard that opened it's doors to make the water known. "I'll be damned." Vegita said taking the water, the cupboard promptly closed its doors.

Nappa sensed the rise of ki. He knew that Vegita was doing. "If you wish to blow yourself up, make sure that you don't drag us along with."
"Shut up fag." He grumbled. "I want to get out of here. My muscles are starting to hurt from the lack of use."

"So let me get this straight. He called you about two weeks ago, saying he was sorry and what not. Then one week later, he calls again saying, this time, that he can't live without you? Then he comes over to your house, and asks you to be his fiancŽe?" Said 18.

"Um well you see," 18 started stuttering. "She doesn't live here anymore! She moved last week."
{Oh please} "Why did she move?"
"Err," There was a terrible silence for a few minutes. "Fine! We were talking about you and Yamcha!" Once again Bulma shuddered. "There are you happy now?" 18 was mad.
"Yes I am happy. You don't need to talk about it behind my back. We're over ok?" Bulma said laying her head on her pillows on her bed.
"We're sorry B, but, I don't know, we thought you were still touchy about the subject I guess.
"It's ok, hey I have an idea!" Said Bulma suddenly. "How about we-" The doorbell started ringing. "Uh, someone's at the door. I'll call you guys later ok?" Bulma started getting off her bed.
"Hey, If it's Yam-face, kick him in the nuts, if you won't do it, I will." Said 18 protectively. Bulma laughed.
"See you later B." Chi said, then her line went dead.
"Bye 18, see you later." Bulma hung up her cell phone and went down stair. The person at the door was still ringing it. Bulma yanked the door open. "What?" She saw a timid looking Goku cowering at the surprise of Bulma's sudden opening of the door.
"Can I use the Gravity Room?" Said Goku regaining his composure.
"Yeah! Can I use it too?" Said Gohan running around from the corner.
"Well it depends on what your dad says." Gohan gave his dad a pleading look.
"You were supposed to stay home. Chi's gunna be mad." He said frowning at his son. "But why not?" He said with a big smile. Bulma held the door open so they could get through. Before she closed the door her phone rang. (She brought it down stairs with her)
"Hello?" She said following Goku outside.
"HELLO?! BULMA?" Chi Chi screamed into the phone.
"What? Chi? What's wrong?" Bulma knew that Chi Chi was going to cry if something didn't happen soon, either that or someone was going to die.
"I CAN'T FIND GOHAN OR GOKU!!! DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY MIGHT BE?" Bulma had to hold the phone away from her ear if she didn't want to go deaf.
"Chi, calm down. They're here. They went to go practice in the Gravity Room."
"Oh, GET GOKU ON THE PHONE NOW!" Bulma ran outside to go find Goku before Chi Chi became irate.
"Goku! Chi Chi's on the phone!" Bulma said right on time. They were about to close the door. Goku stuck his head back out. His face was visibly paler. Bulma gave the phone to him. He carefully put it to his ear. "Hello?" He whispered.
"DAMMIT GOKU! NEXT TIME YOU LEAVE MAKE SURE YOU TELL ME!" Goku nearly dropped the phone. Bulma felt pity for him and his overly sensitive ears. He put the phone close to his ear.
"Uh, Chi?"
"COME HOME NOW! Please put Bulma back on." Goku handed the phone over to Bulma. Be called for Gohan who was protesting.
"Hello? Chi?"
"Hi B, I'm sorry. Goku just..." Chi heaved a big sigh.
"Yes I know. He's leaving right now."
"Thank you Bulma." Bulma hung up the phone and put it in her pocket. "All right I'm sorry but you have to go."
"Yeah I know. Come on Gohan." Goku tugged at Gohan'a arm.
"But but but but but, I want to play in the Gravity Room!" He said pouting.
"I'm sorry maybe another day." Then he flew up into the sky leaving a blue trail of light behind him.
Bulma shook her head at the retreating blue flare. She went inside to clean up the house for a bit. She got tired of that after fifteen minutes and made the bots do it. Then she went into her lab to start working on any unfinished inventions. She found one that was supposed to help plants grow in incredibly unfertile areas in hope to bring more food to third world nations. She was so busy that she didn't even hear her parents get home. She only realized that when her dad came into her lab.
"What are you working on now Bulma?" At the surprise of hearing her dad's voice she jumped and dropped the tool she had in her hand.
"Dad! You scared me so badly!" She said giving him a hug. "Have fun?"
"Oh yeah, same old same old. Rest and relation. Felt very good." He picked up the tool and set it on the table. "Come up stairs now. Lets go tell Bunny that we're hungry." They headed out of her lab to go find Bulma's mother.
*****Somewhere in space closer to Earth.
"Dammit Braddock how much longer now?" Said a grumpy Vegita squirming in his chair trying to eat his freeze-dried food.
"Only one more hour to go. Shut up." He said rubbing his temples. {This constant noise is making me crazy.}
"Can't they go any faster?" Whined Radditz. "I feel like I could kill someone when we get down there."
"Like you could actually do that you weakling." Said Nappa over the intercom.
"Ha! I could easily beat your ass! I could for certain kill those people on that planet." He said sweeping his hand across the little floating orb against the black.
"Hahahahahaha! You? A pathetic weakling? Don't make me laugh!" Radditz grumbled illegible words. "I bet I cold kill more people than you!"
"Ha! Over my dead body! I could kill more that you in a heart beat!" Radditz said pounding his chest with his fist.
"Yeah right. How many times have you lost against the prince? How many times have you lost against me?"
"I've beaten your ass more than you've beaten mine!"
"Yeah right! You're a load of shit!" Laughed Nappa. Vegita was listening to their conversation with a look of pure hate.
"Shut up! Both of you! I can beat you two with one hand tied behind my back!" He said crumpling the empty freeze-dried food wrapper. He threw it on the floor along with the rest.
"Yes your Highness, whatever you say." Mocked Nappa.
"How about I blow up your pod?" Said Vegita trying to figure out which one is his.
"And blow yourself up in the process? Oh I can't wait to see you in hell!" Chuckled Nappa crossing his arms against his chest.
"Ha! I'll see you there! Then I'll beat your ass to a pulp!" He said yelling over the intercom.
"SHUT UP YOU FUCK HEADS!" Braddock could take no more of it. "You all are giving me a headache!" Shouted Braddock rubbing his forehead. Vegita glared at the smashed speaker box. "When we get there, please resist the urge to kill one another. I will do the talking. Not you three. You three will probably fuck it up somehow. I'm not sure what their immediate actions will be. Just try not to scare anyone with your ugliness Nappa." Braddock was getting his revenge now. "Prince please, keep your temper down. We must make them think that this is a good idea. I brought some technology for them to mess around with. The king also made me bring some of..." He mumbled the rest.
"Of what? Speak up. If you want me to be on my best behavior, then speak up dammit! What did he make you bring?" The prince figured he wouldn't want to know in the first place, but it was better so he didn't flip out while they were talking with the humans.
"Your father made me bring some of your mother's jewelry." Me muttered into the intercom.
Vegita wasn't expecting this. "He what?"
"You heard me." There was a moment of silence. The four knew how Vegita's father killed his mother while she was trying to save her son. It was still a sore spot for Vegita.
"What is he trying to do? Ruin my mother's memories? Damn him."
"He only gave me a few, not many, just a few." Braddock said with a grimace. The silence lasted for a while. Everyone was afraid to say something, while Vegita was mad.
Vegita just stared out the window at the blue marble growing ever so closer. "How much longer until me land?" Said Vegita quietly.
"Forty minutes. Until we land." The silence once again reigned.
******The kitchen of Cap. Corp.
"And this, this is the loveliest waterfall I've ever seen!" Said the blonde hair lady Bulma called 'mom'.
"Um Bunny dear, aren't you going to make sure the food won't burn?" Said Dr. Brief's looking over his wife's shoulder to see the pan with the food smoking.
"Huh? Oh dear!" Bunny ran over to the pan. She immediately turned the heat down. "Don't worry! It's not burned!" She stirred the food with a big smile. Bulma shook her head. He looked through most of the pictures when her cell rang.
"Hello?" She said still looking at the pictures.
"Bulma? It's 18. Hey do you wanna go to a club tonight? I'm not doing anything plus I'm really bored! 17 might come with us. I tired calling Chi, but she's not there. Krillin said he definitely would. We can pick you up. Sooo... please?" Bulma could just imagine 18's puppy dog eyes.
She laughed at the thought. "Sure! But first I have to eat my dinner! I'll call you when I want you to pick me up k?"
"Excellent! I'll try Chi once more then call you back ok? See you then!" Bulma heard the tell tale click that said she had hung up. Bulma put the cell back in her pocket.
"Honey who was that?" Bulma's mother got almost every chance she got to pry into Bulma's life.
"That was 18. She wanted to know if I cold go to a club with her."
"Oh dear have fun! Are you going to stay for dinner?"
{Please mother, you overheard me talking} "Yeah, but I'm going to get dressed now so I can leave as soon as possible." She got up from the table and ran up the stairs. While in her room, she took a shower, put on her underwear, and raided her closet. Throwing random stuff out behind her shoulder. Finally she picked out a dark brown leather mini skirt (Oh boy is she lucky she's not going to the club in the middle of the day! It's the early spring by the way) and a tank top that looked like a tube top only it had one sleeve went across her right shoulder that held up the shirt.(Ahem, I can't really do this, sry, but use your imagination) She grabbed her denim jacket then went to her bathroom and applied very light make-up and glitter to her face and arms. She dried her hair and brushed it and let it fall naturally around her shoulders. She grabbed her lip-gloss to put on later so she doesn't smudge it while eating. She grabbed her stiletto heel boots that laced up to just under her knees (Come on you've sent them! Mostly something like Pink would wear) that made her at least four inches taller. She walked down stairs to only have to go back up to get her handbag and ID.
"Honey! Dinner's ready!" Bulma's mom called from the kitchen. She ran as fast as she could down the stairs.
*****Earth's Atmosphere
"Get ready for the impact." Said Braddock. They were sitting strapped in their chairs so they don't fly out the window upon impact.
"I bet I killed thirty people in one blast on Ma'tierjah. Beat that." Nappa said gloating.
Radditz was laughing. "Thirty? I killed fifty in one ki blast there!" Vegita was surprised that this argument was still going on.
"Shut up both of you before I make sure you two are killed." Muttered Braddock looking out the window. He could see cities, then he could see a large dome building with many other smaller ones surrounding it. {Capsule Corp} He thought. {Are we going to hit the buildings?} In stead they passed the buildings and landed in the clearing behind the buildings but in front of the forest with a large BAM! Not to mention the large craters each of the pods made as they landed making dirt fly everywhere.
****Inside the house.
The impact made the house shake causing both of the females to scream and panic. Dr. Brief's ran outside to where he thought he might see something. See something he did see. He saw four large white pods with large front windows that were opening very slowly with a quiet hiss. He just stood there as four large, burley men came from the pods. One was bald the other had impossibly long hair, the third had hair that stood up every direction defying gravity and looked oddly like Goku. The last had hair that looked like one large flame on the top of his head making him look much taller.
He heard his wife run up behind him telling him to get inside, but her was too stunned to move. Then he heard Bulma coming outside wanting to know what's going on. He turned around to tell her to get inside when he saw her already unmoving from fear and surprise. She started to run to her dad her blue hair flying behind her.
{What's going on here? Why is Goku with those men? What are they doing here?} Bulma thought as she ran to her dad. "Daddy, what's happening?" She whispered to him. "Why is Goku with them?" She said hiding behind her dad putting her hands on her dad's shoulders. Mrs. Briefs took one of Bulma's hands to put in it her own. There was a moment of uncomfortable silence. Neither side knew really what to do. Bulma was to busy looking at all of the men standing before her. Out of the four, only two really interested her. The one that looked like Goku, and the one that had the flame hair. The other two looked like they would rape her. She was snapped out of her trance when she heard people murmur and the shutters of cameras. {Shit, the last people we need.} She thought whipping her head the noise. "I'm going to get rid of them." She whispered to her dad. Her mom wouldn't let her go. "Mom, I'll be fine." She walked over to the unwanted people and told them that an accident happened and that it was nothing to worry about. The men? They are guests. But those white things... part of why the accident happened. She gave them her sweetest smile and waved to them. Every now and then one would compliment her on her looks. Once they were all gone, she walked back to her parents. But had to run back when one decided he wanted more pictures. She had to threaten them with the police. They ran because they knew her famous temper, but left their camera. She took the digital camera and started deleting the pics while walking over to her parents once again. "Daddy, what's happening?" She asked when she saw that they were trying to make conversation, or at least the one that looked like Goku was.
"We're talking dear, please go back to the house." She was about to walk in the house when she heard the Goku look alike talk.
"You are Dr. Brief's right? We need to talk."
