What Life Throws
Chapter 8:When Night moves in
(This is probably going to be the rest of the day when Bulma and Vegeta are together and then their night later on)
We all finished eating and we were on our way to the science lab. Stella and Vincent went to her classrooms to do some mid morning lessons. Goku, Vegeta, and me went to meet Goku's father.*I wonder what their laboratories are like. And I wonder if Goku's dad is cute? Wait a minute...What am I thinking?! I'm supposed to mate with Vegeta tonight! I can't be thinking about other guys! But, I guess it doesn't hurt to look.* We walked for a really long time. It didn't seem that long, because I was constantly looking at Vegeta. We walked to the wing across from the dining room and the lab we were headed to was the second before he last door on the right. Vegeta was the first one to walk into the the room, followed by me, and then Goku. I looked over Vegeta's shoulder and saw huge mounds of scrap metal, which were made of some of the most expensive and durable alloys in the universe. I looked over at a monitor that had the robots rate and progress. Their robots were programmed to work seven times faster than the ones I had at Capsule Corps. Now I knew what Vegeta meant about this technology being superior. I slowly looked around the room. It looked nice enough. Nicer than my labs, but not at all as fancy as what I've seen so far here. The only difference was that I'm sure there was a lot more money put into this place. I looked over in the corner of the room and I saw two men kneeling down, inspecting a on something. *He looks just like Goku! And the guy next to him kind of resembles Vincent!...Well, duh, those are probably their fathers...I'm so slow. *
We walked up to the two men and the one that looked a little like Vincent looked up at us. He stood up and went down on one knee, bowing to Vegeta. The other man looked up as well and followed the first one's actions.
"At ease, men." Vegeta said. Both of the men got up.
"Bulma, I'd like you to meet Vincent's father, Toma, and Kakarott's biological father, Bardock." Vincent said proud and with a smile.
Bardock and Toma both looked at me and gave me an approving nod. Goku was standing behind Vegeta, but due to the height difference, it really wasn't doing much. *I wonder if he's a little nervous about meeting his father? I mean, what if Goku doesn't meet his standards. Of course, Goku can always just go back to Earth, but he'll be hurt if his father doesn't approve of him.* I pulled Goku out from behind Vegeta and pushed him forward.
"Bardock, this is your youngest son, Goku." I stated. Goku looked at Bardock and gave him a little awkward smile. Bardock looked Goku up and down and smiled softly.
"Just like I saw you in my premonitions." He said. He sounded as if he was about to cry. He reached out and gave Goku a hug and then sat him down at on of the lab tables and Bardock started asking Goku about his family. I saw Vegeta make a gesture with his hand telling Toma that we were going to leave and that we'd be by later to come get Goku again. Vegeta and me exited the room leaving Goku to his father.
As soon as we got out of the room, Vegeta closed the door tightly behind him.
"So, where did you want to go?" He asked. I thought for a minute.
"Well, When we first landed, I didn't get to see too much of the outside of the palace. Can we go see the scenery outside?" I asked sweetly.
"There's not much to see besides the gardens and a couple of sparring rings." He said dryly.
"Well, can you take me around to see them. And I want to see what Planet Vegeta looks like a little bit, too." I said.
"We can't go too far, because I don't want to take forever getting back, but I can show you the forests around the palace. That's basically what surrounds us. And the servants quarters are out there, too." He said.
"Ok, well, we'll start inside the palace and work our way out to the forest. I don't know what you want to show me out there, but I'll go for lack of anything better to do." I said.
We walked around the palace for a while. We walked passed Stella's classrooms, the dining room and the military meet room. I already knew these, but there were some new ones he showed me. He showed me the inside sparing room, the maids quarters, and around all the secret passage ways of the palace. I was getting tired from walking and we stopped and sat down on a bench.
"Vegeta, what are the maids quarters for? Is it like a harem, or just the rooms where the house maids live?" I asked.
"It's just their rooms. Sex slaves, rape, and prostitution is looked down upon as capital punishment here." He said.
"Oh, and what are the secret passage ways for?" I asked curiously.
"They were made back when I was a kid. If the palace was under attack and we weren't prepared or strong enough o beat them, the royal family was supposed to use those secret tunnels and halls to get out and away, and seem that your going to be part of the royal family in less than a couple hours, I figured now would be as good a time as any to show you these little family secrets." He said, as he looked over and smirked.
We got up and went back to the dining room for a moment. I wanted to get a drink before we headed outside. We started to walk out the palace doors and I stopped and gazed in awe. Over the castle walls, the landscape was a tinted silvery-blue. Everything was tinted blue. Trees, grass, even the water had more of a silver-blue tint than a clear colorless one. And the sky was a light purple with little streaks of green throughout it. *I hadn't noticed how pretty it was when I first arrived!* We walked of the palace steps and headed towards the forest. The sun was going down, but it was still light enough for us to see where we were going.
"Vegeta, it's going to be pitch black by the time we get out of here. Do you think we should go early?" I asked with concern.
"No, we'll be fine. I have this one spot in the forest where I used to go when I had thinking to do, or I was upset and angry. I want to show you. I have a surprise for you when we get there." He said menacingly.
