Chichi opened her eyes first. She was lying in a beautiful garden with strange and wonderful plants. The one right in front of her was a strange blue tree like thing. She reached out to touch it, when a hand grabbed her wrist.
Vegeta shook his head. In one arm, he carried Bulma's lifeless form. "Poison." He whispered softly. She nodded and glanced around. The others were around too, staring almost fearfully at the plants.
"But Tybalt! I can't stand to fly!" Chichi looked through the leaves and was surprised to see a five year old Vegeta and a green haired warrior. She listened as the green haired man, Tybalt, laughed and said something in a soft voice to comfort the child Vegeta.
They watched as Tybalt took flight and waited for the boy to touch his hand. He seemed very surprised when Vegeta actually grasped it. Chichi sucked in a breath, she was watching Vegeta's memories unfold before her very eyes.
The king, who, in Chichi's eyes, was extremely scary, walked up, yelled something, and stormed off. Tybalt looked troubled. Boy Vegeta flew off, revealing in his newfound power.
Tybalt turned towards the Z Senshi. "I now someone is back there. Come out." His hand was on the hilt of his sword. He took a shuddering breath as Vegeta walked out, Bulma in his arms.
"My, you have grown haven't you?" Vegeta set Bulma's body down and embraced the taller man, burying his face into Tybalt's hair. It was sad, very sad for Chichi and the others, who had never seen Vegeta cry.
"This is the second time you've cried in your life Vegeta, only major things make you break down like this."
"I lost her…" He muttered into Tybalt's hair. Suddenly, Chichi wondered who Vegeta's life would have been if he had never been taken away from Tybalt. Tybalt kneeled down next to Bulma's body.
"She was killed by Freiza?" He looked at everyone for confirmation of this fact. Goku nodded.
"I see, and what did you tell the Vegeta of that time?" He asked, looking at Vegeta.
"Not to do anything and to forget we were ever there." Vegeta murmured dully. Tybalt smiled sadly.
"Vegeta, lest you forget that there are infinite ways in time, your way was one, this way is another, they are all different dimensions. No matter what you do in this past, or that one, it won't change your future, or your past. Look up."
Vegeta looked up; his mouth dropped open. The sky was a crystalline blue. The stars were visible, the trade ships were beautiful in themselves. Vegeta looked at Tybalt.
"This truly is a different time line then." He whispered, remembering the hazy, smoggy sky of his childhood.
Tybalt, who was kneeling next to Bulma, looked at him. "Yes, it is. Very different."
"How do you know what the other one was?" Vegeta asked.
"Easy, when one of my species dies from another dimension, the exact DNA copy gets the memories."
"Oh."
"Aren't you going to introduce us, Vegeta?" Goku asked.
"No. I'm not in the mood, introduce yourselves." For a second, the Vegeta they had known peaked out at them.
"I am sorry Vegeta, but she is gone. Not even my magick will bring her back. Vegeta sunk to his knees next to Bulma, and for the third time in his life, he cried.
AN: I am thinking about writing another story, after this one of course, that depicts Tybalt's life. Do you guys want me too? Standard disclaimers apply, Tybalt is mine ^^
