Author's Note: Erm... I know this really doesn't sound sincere and whatnot,
but I wanted to thank my one and only (sniff sniff) reviewer so far,
except, I really can't because at this moment, I don't know their name. I
am lacking in my internet access... I still wanted to thank you, though, and
let you know I really appreciated that you read it! And that I hope you get
this little thank you also!!
Update!! :: Since I started writing this, I have had two other reviewers, whose names I also do not have. I apologize to you both, also, but thank you very very very very very much!!

The West has been settled and formed by a wealthy young family and now their only daughter has run off from the confines of her world, off to see the outside and escape the civilized town, into the true Wild West. Bands of outlaws and wild Indians won't be her only concern as a dangerous entrepreneur with an illegal alternate lifestyle sets his eyes on her.

"Well, ya see, miss," he began, continuing on their lovely conversation about how he got to where he was today. Bulma was awfully curious, and he seemed to be the only one really willing to talk to her.
He was the young blonde man, who ended up being almost twenty-seven, with the catching blue eyes.
"When I was 'bout seven years old, my ol' man kicked the bucket some'in hard, and I was the oldest of three, not many I reckon, but a 'andful enough for my likin'.
"So, ya see, I was left to help my poor ol' ma take care o' us all and it was mighty hard.
"Then this group came through my town when I was 'bout thirteen. They invited me to saddle up with 'em and I took it. I feel down right awful about abandoning my poor ma like that, but this is the 'venture a young man like myself needs."
Bulma's blue hair just swished across her bare shoulders in acknowledgement, her head nodding every so often, marking that she agreed or at least understood.
"Now, what 'bout you, miss, you haven't said a word since I started an' I'm mighty curious as ta what a lovely young lady like yerself is doing here with a rough crowd like us, a'sides being captured and all, you understand."
"Well, I know this sounds awfully silly, but I wanted to escape. It was so stifling, and I practically signed myself off to this man –"
"You ain't in love with this man?" He interrupted, enraptured.
Bulma chewed thoughtfully on her lower lip, putting genuine thought into the question. She had been asking herself this same thing for a while now, and she wasn't sure. She knew she had loved him at one point, but feelings change, right? "Well, I don't rightly know."
He just nodded and didn't press the issue of love any further. "So, now how'd a purty girl like yerself get 'signed off' to this man?"
"Let's see... When I was younger, I loved to travel and I would go all over with my Pa. This was before we moved here, you understand. Anyhow, I got to see the world and I was really rambunctious.
"Then we established a town out here that grew into a city, that's West Capitol. So then my Pa had to stay put mostly, 'cept for business, and I decided I wanted to travel still, so I did.
"On one of my trips, I met this bandit –he tried to rob me- but, we fell in love and I took him back home with me. Since then, he's started his own businesses and he's awfully rich now and he just isn't the same man. And then I ran away... and here I am now, with you."
The young gentleman just nodded, smiling to himself at the irony that twice on trips she'd encountered bandits. However, money was not the reason they had gotten her.
Their boss had ordered for them to bring to him the young heir to the Capsule Corporation Empire of West Capitol City, and completely by accident, she had walked right to them, saving them any effort of trying to hijack the young woman from her highly guarded family's manor. The Boss would be very pleased. She was well worth their little effort.
It was like taking candy from a baby.
