Here Without You
Disclaimer: I, the beautiful intelligent discordchick/Amanda, do not own the show and concept of Dragonball Z no do I own the band formally know as 3 Doors Down, my 2nd favorite band. The song is called 'Here Without You' and I would know because I just bought their new CD, Away From The Sun which was really good and I think everyone who likes them should buy it cause the song Away from the sun, which they call their masterpiece, a masterpiece! YEAH!!! So here is the...3rd chapter to Too Bad cause of the author's note for the other 3rd chapter! Hehe, enjoy and remember...I love R- E-V-I-E-W-S!!!
P.S. I've had a lot of people review my stories and write me emails to update this story and The Torture of the Professor. In case you didn't know I updated that story about 2 weeks ago with chapter 3 and will hopefully have the 4th and final chapter ready soon as well. Also I wasn't actually planning to update that one cause I thought it sucked and I was this close to deleting it from my story list when chanie12357 review and told me how good my story was. So that's just a little reminder that I love reviewers and they inspire me and keep me motivated with the reviews!!! ^.^ Thanks to Vegeta's baby sister/chanie12357 for inspiring me to get over my writer's block and finish this chapter...hehe I know I'm slow.

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
and I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face
"Bra..." Trunks Briefs whispered to his little sister who was sleeping soundly in her bed. It was another day and time to get dressed for Kindergarten. Trunks sighed inwardly as Bra flung a pillow at his head and turned over. He looked at the wall behind him to discover a small dent in the wall, no doubt made by her young half-Saiyan force. "Bra I'm not in the mood! Come on, big bro has a Physics test today!"
"NO!" She screamed flinging her stuffed pig hitting him in the chest, knocking the wind out of him. "I'm too tired to go to school and Mrs. Thomas hates me!" Trunks, having enough, threw Piggy across the room and picked her up to get her dressed.
"NONONONONO!" Bra yelled the entire time as he took out some school cloths, not letting her down, as he put the cloths on the bed. He set her down glared down at her as tears started pouring down defiantly.
"When I come back in ten minutes you had better be dressed and ready to eat Breakfast or I'll tell mom how much of a good girl you've been at school this week!" Trunks knew he struck it right when she cringed and looked down at the floor. Bra had been starting fights at school the past week and failing in school for the past 6. Bra had always been used to being the princess of the family and since all that had changed and she wasn't getting near as much attention as usual she stopped caring about pleasing the family and being the good girl she was always expected to be. Trunks slammed her door and ran down the stairs to make cereal before she came out of her room. He knew that Bra had too much pride not to prove him wrong and come out earlier than expected. Everything had changed over the past three months since that man had been gone from the house, and it had changed for the worst.
I'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
...everything is just wrong now a day. When is he ever going to get over himself? I really hope it's soon because I certainly won't go crawling through the city looking for that bastard who won't even stop by to see his children! Why, I wouldn't even be surprised if he was lying somewhere dead in a ditch. By now he's probably beside himself worrying of...
"Mrs. Briefs?"
"WHA..." Bulma Briefs, President and CEO of Capsule Corporation gasped jumping in her chair and looking around the table where she sat at the head. Her co-workers and CEOs from other competing businesses sat around looking at her thinking...who knows what! The man who had spoken was giving a presentation about the company's newest project. "Umm yes, sorry I must have zoned out there. He he...what were you saying?"
"Mrs. Briefs are you alright? You seem to be doing that a lot lately."
"Yes! I'm perfectly fine. Now, if you will please continue I'm listening."
As he started up again Bulma found herself lost in thought. Luckily the press hadn't found out about her and her mysterious husband's parting yet, but it was only a matter of time before someone in the repair department noticed that the bills were unusually low. Vegeta would always ruin a different gravity machine at least twice a month and people were bound to notice if he didn't.
That man had yet to return and she was seriously considering going to see him but if she waited her would surely come to her, in one way of another. Maybe she'll should just see Goku and find out if Vegeta is having second thoughts as well. She had to see him if he was suffering half as much as she. It wouldn't be easy asking to get involved in her mate and hers problems but Bulma couldn't see any other way! Goku had a knack for making things go right again.
The miles just keep rolling
as the people leave and wave to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me
Many miles to the south of the city a large crater-gouged desert could be seen. On a ridged rock high in the air, over looking these beautiful sites sat two men of the same race. Both had deep black hair and impressively muscular builds but they were not the same. Son Goku sat cross-legged with an abnormally large lunch box perched on his lap. One would wonder how in the world he was able to fit so much food into that one lunch box, but not everyone knew that ill tempered his wife, Son Chi chi, was an expert in the culinary arts (hehe now I feel smart). Goku had a quiet soul, with a personality that always wanted to help people and being able to protect his family and friends from danger was the thing that kept him strong. Not to mention the fact that both these men had the blood of an ancient civilization running through their veins, and that was the reason for their fighting urges.
"Kakkorot! Stop stuffing yourself like a pig! It's not becoming and those sounds are very annoying." The other man that was sitting on the ledge that day had no specially made lunch boxed from home.
"Well I'm sorry Vegeta...but all this sparring...gets me...hungry" The younger Saiyan exclaimed in between bites of a large tuna sandwich. "I'm almost done!...Are you are you don't want anything?"
The shorter man was busy staring out into the distance, the south to be specific. The Saiyan Prince Vegeta had never had a very nice or normal life but in the past years he had come to cherish his newly found happiness and family on the planet Earth.
As the man stared into his surrounding territory that had been his home for the past few months he began to realize that his worst enemy had been the only one that he could turn to in his time of need. Goku had become a friend the day that they had beaten Majin Buu together and even though they acted like enemies in most public situations and friendly estranged brothers during spars Vegeta absolutely refused call a man who was stronger than him a cherished friend.
"Hey Vegeta," He heard his name being called next to him. He turned to see Goku with that look in his eyes again. The one that said I want to talk about something but and try and help you at the same time. Goku was all about helping people.
"Oh no, Kakkorot! Not this again. I've told you everyday, I don't want to talk about it and no I'm not going back yet!"
Goku sighed. Vegeta knew that he thought that he was just being incredibly stubborn but he wasn't going to be pushed into going back. Especially before Bulma out to the desert and apologizes to him. Those little arguments had always been meaningless and healthy before she started talking about the influence they would have on their youngest child. Bulma thought that the fighting would be a bad example for Bra and Vegeta disagreed. Everything went downscale from there.
"Come on, Vegeta!" Goku shouted trying to make him see sense. "Can't you see how stupid you're being! Everyone else sees it; you and Bulma really need to work things out before things get worse!"
"Kakkorot," Vegeta winced hearing what he didn't want to hear. "I thought I told you never to say that women's name in front of me again."
"You love Bulma, Bulma loves you and that's all there is to it! Now I don't know the whole story behind this little fight thing but you too need to get over your stupid pride and think about what would happen if your kids grew up without a father. Trunks needs a male influence at his age, and Bra needs a father as well. Plus if you leave Bra now then she'll never be taught about our Saiyan culture. She's the Princess of all Saiyans, right? Well you need to get over everything and talk to Bulma!"
Vegeta glared at the younger man after his outburst but in return got an even worse one right back. Vegeta knew it was true that he and his wife both had too much pride for their own good, and that more than they were suffering from the split. The children did need him and he wouldn't stand for Bra to grow up without knowing a thing about her heritage.
But the thing that struck him the most was the last part. And he totally agreed. He needed to step up and be a man if he ever wanted anyone to get over anything. Bulma wouldn't come to him she would have him come back to her, he wasn't sure if he could do that before but now he knew that he had to. He wanted it to end and it wouldn't unless he did something about it right then and there.
"Kakkorot. I think you should leave now." Vegeta said sullenly; might as well have the fool think me angry it wouldn't be very good if he knew I had given in for something that he said.
Goku nodded and gathered up his long forgotten sandwich. Before leaving he promised to return the next day just like always and then swiftly jumped into the sky and headed home to his own family.
"Alright Kakkorot, you win!" Vegeta yelled into the empty sky. "I'm going back and I don't want to hear a word about this fight ever again."
As he flew toward home, Capsule Corporation, he thought about what Bulma would say. And do for that matter. He also thought about something he hadn't before; what if Bulma didn't want him back? He had always assumed that she would take him back without hesitation, the way she did when he came home from training in space. But she was scared to be alone then, being a single mom was harder than she thought and she needed help. She probably wouldn't now. It was the first time that he realized that his face was entirely in her hands. He would either be home in his bed tonight or sleeping back in the desert where he would probably think of something else to do.
He didn't know what to do if he didn't have his family. His life would no longer have meaning and he knew that he would probably end up going out into space again and trying to conquer the universe. He didn't want that to happen but that would be his only alternative if Bulma turned him down. And for one of the rare times in his life...he was scared.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all
said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream
about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me
