"Huh?" Vegeta emerged from one of the rooms. He looked at her. "Where are you going?"
"Just out for a drink with Goku and Mizu." Bulma told him. "I've be a few hours, okay?"
"Mizu?" Vegeta frowned. "You mean the lizard's wife?"
"Listen, I know you and Frieza don't get along - and you don't have to - but Mizu's my friend, okay?" Bulma replied. "I even went to school with her and I'm not falling out with her just because you and Frieza have issues."
"Have can you say that?!" Vegeta demanded. "You KNOW what Frieza's like!"
"Mm - hm." Bulma nodded. "And I know what Mizu's like, and she's nothing like her husband.
"So why'd she marry him?" Vegeta challenged.
"That's just the kind of person she is." Bulma shrugged.
"What, stupid?"
"Forgiving." Bulma glared at him. "She always saw the good in people... and if I know her, the good in such evil is probably what attracted her to him."
"That doesn't make any sense!" Vegeta protested. "Frieza doesn't HAVE a good side!"
"Too bad! I'm going." Bulma said stubbornly.
"Bulma, don't you dare walk out of that door -" Vegeta was cut off when the door slammed shut. He glared at it. "Fine then! Go out with a lizard, see if I care!" he stormed off and made it halfway down the corridor when he stopped. "Is Frieza going with them?" Vegeta shook his head. "She didn't say he was." he thought. "But then again, why would she?" "...." he turned around and looked at the door. "........... He's not having MY woman!" he growled. "Trunks, I'm going out!" he called and left the building before he got an answer.
"Okay, see ya then." Trunks called from another room.

"I'll see you later, okay?" Mizu kissed Frieza.
"What?" Frieza looked at her. "Where are you going?"
"Just out." Mizu replied, and headed for the door. She came to a sudden halt when Frieza appeared in front of her out of thin air.
"With who?" Frieza demanded.
"Just some friends." Mizu said innocently.
"You mean that saiyan?" Frieza frowned.
"What if I am?" Mizu asked.
"You know that he is an enemy of mine." Frieza said sternly.
"And YOU know that he is a friend of mine." Mizu argued. "It's just a night out, Frieza. It's not like a date or anything. Besides, Bulma'll be with us."
"Bulma? Does that mean Vegeta's going with you, too?" Frieza asked.
"I don't know." Mizu admitted. "Maybe." she looked at him. "Are you coming?"
"What, and spend all night with a saiyan? No thanks." Frieza said arrogantly.
"Suit yourself." Mizu shrugged. "Bye, Lavender!"
"Yeah, yeah." Lavender mumbled from another room. She still didn't like the idea of her mother being friends with those saiyans - especially Goku.
"I'll see you later, okay?" Mizu smiled at Frieza, and left the house.
Frieza tried not to, but couldn't help but look at the door.
"..........." he frowned. "Oh, for Pete's sake!" he looked over his shoulder, addressing his daughter (wherever she was.) "Lavender, I'm going to make sure she doesn't get killed! You stay here, okay?"
"Okay, dad."
"Good girl." Frieza smiled. With that, he left the house.

Mokoto watched her with a little interest. Tabbitha looked around. She sniffed the night forest air, her tail wagged slowly as she did so.
"Find anything?" Mokoto asked.
"I smell a monkey..." Tabbitha reported.
"Big help." Mokoto said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "Who cares? We want Frieza."
"Well, there are definitely lizards near here." she frowned. "But it's strange... neither scents are strong."
"Well, the last time I saw Frieza he had a human wife, and she was pregnant. Perhaps you smell their child." Mokoto suggested.
"If that is the case, the saiyan must be a half - breed, too." Tabbitha replied. "But, if it is the child I smell... then Frieza must be out, because there is definitely just one lizard."
"Which way?" Mokoto demanded. Tabbitha pointed.
"That way."
"Okay, then. Let's go pay a visit to the second generation."
