The Exchange

Chapter 1: In Trouble Again

"Bulma get your butt here you little trouble maker" King briefs screamed after his daughter. A grease covered princess walked into the Throne room "Yes father what did I do now" Princess Bulma said trying to hide the mischievous smile plastered on her face. "You know quite well what you did wrong young lady" King Briefs said looking disappointedly down at his daughter. "Father it is not my fault that your scientist are slow" Princess Bulma said turning away from her father and smirking. "But it is your fault that they refuse to work and you better stop interrupting their projects young lady, a lab is no place for a Princess" King Briefs said kneeling down and gently grabbing his daughters shoulders making her look at him. "But father" Princess Bulma sighed "No buts young lady you must start learning your status as a Princess in society" King Briefs said standing and turning away from his daughter "Yes Father" Bulma said looking down at the floor. "Now go get yourself cleaned up for tonight's ball I am betting that there will be plenty of young Princes for you to choose from" King Briefs grunted. "But father I do not want to marry I am still not of age" Princess Bulma protested "Oh you daughter, you are not as young as you thought, I know plenty of girls younger than you that have husbands and some have children already, now be off" King Briefs righted her. Princess Bulma bowed and walked in the direction of her chambers.

"Stupid father I wish mother was still here, she wouldn't pawn me off to some perverted Prince who only wants my title and my body" Princess Bulma said talking to her self.

"Prince Vegeta we will be landing soon just in time for the Chikyuu ball dedicated to the lovely Princess Bulma" Nappa said while straightening his armour trying to make himself look presentable for the ball but was failing miserably.

"What is the big deal about some ball dedicated to a snobbish ugly Princess" Vegeta grunted and crossed his arms.

"My Prince have you not heard of the Princess of Chikyuu Beauty, it is said that she has rare beauty that no other can match from any of the two quadrants" Nappa said looking stunned at the lost prince.

"I have not heard of this woman and Nappa we have no time to google over some big breasted dumb blonde" Vegeta Grunted.

"My Prince the princess has blue hair and sapphire eyes and her own intelligence surpasses that of her fathers" Nappa said still stunned at the princes dumbness.

"You just confirmed to me the she is a book worm freak now shut up we must prepare for landing" Prince Vegeta irritably and walked over to the control panel "And Nappa go get Kakkerot out of the kitchen before he eats all our food for the trip home" Prince Vegeta said smirking at his friends stupidity 'Hint Hint' Kakkerot.

Once Nappa had persuaded Kakkerot out the kitchen by waving a drumstick in front of his nose saying "Come Kakkerot, come get the piece of chicken" Kakkerot replied floating after the chicken "Come here chicken, come here to my mouth where you will be safe. After this Nappa pulled the piece of chicken away from Kakkerots nose making Kakkerot fall onto the floor. "Stop acting like a fool and get into your seat, we are landing in 7.5 minutes."

Vegeta stepped out of the space ship on to the green land and made his way to the entrance of the castle gates, Nappa and Kakkerot following close behind. "My fellow Saiyans, party first purge later" Vegeta said smirking evilly. Kakkerot and Nappa glanced at each other before they too started smirking.

Bulma sighed looking at herself in the mirror, she looked great dressed in a strapless dress which was skin tight from the waist up then it flared out reaching past her feet. The colour was dazzling being a royal blue but faded into purple at the end of the dress. Her hair was simple yet elegant. She had taken two strands from the front and tied it behind with an ordinary clip. The rest of her hair was loose reaching to her waist. To add some spice she wore a rare black diamond, which was attached to a silver choker chain, which her mother had always worn to formal gatherings. Her shoes were black high heels giving her the opportunity to show off her family tattoo 'sila' every time she twirled, the tattoo was done in elegant calligraphy handwriting. Sila meaning 'star to light up the shadow'. It is a custom in royalty to obtain a tattoo when you are born that signifies your being.

Happy with her appearance, but not happy with the way she felt. She had a bad feeling about tonight, but she was going to try and enjoy herself however hard that might be. She slowly glided towards the entrance of the ballroom. The proceedings had started a long time before, so the corridors where empty. Her footsteps sounded hollow, just like she felt. Finally reaching the doors of the ballroom, the two guards posted outside greeted her respectively. Bulma just nodded in return. Bracing herself, the two guards bowed down to her while pushing open the doors with a whoosh.

She put a fake smile on her face and advanced into the now silent and stunned room. People parted for her giving her access to her fathers throne. Looking up she noticed her father conversing with a stranger.

They had finally reached the ballroom. Kakkerot made his way to the buffet table where he noticed that Kakkerot was staring at a raven haired and hazel-eyed girl who was placing food and clearing plates. Nappa had disappeared into the direction of the bar. Suddenly there was silence and Vegeta noticed that everybody was parting from the doors that he had just come through. His curiosity had got the better of him so he pushed his way through crowed making his way to the aisle that was created by the parting people.

Vegeta stood there with his mouth gaping. There walked a VERY beautiful onna, which looked very nervous and distracted. Vegeta noticed that the girl had a sad aurora enveloping her and to prove his point he could see sadness in her eyes as she was looking up at the throne to a similar looking man. "That must be her father" Vegeta said to himself looking at the rather rare beauty. This must be the Princess Nappa was talking about, but I could not imagine she was this beautiful, Vegeta thought.

Bulma finally made it to the stairs, which led to the throne. She walked up and bowed to her father "Hello father" Bulma said in a near whisper "Hello my dear nice to see that you have finally made it to your own ball" King Briefs replied sarcastically. "Sorry father I am late I just" Then Bulma was cut off by her father "Enough meet Prince Yamcha of Rebesie he will be your fiancé and your future husband and king of Chikyuu.

"But father I do not believe in marriage without love and I refuse to marry this stranger" Princess Bulma objected "You will wed who ever I see fit because you are just a girl and girls have no say in anything" King Briefs shouted while standing up trying to belittle his daughter but was not having any luck breaking her spirit.

"FATHER I WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SAY" Princess Bulma said looking at disgust towards her father "Princess at least dance with me" Prince Yamcha said holding out is hand waiting for Bulma to accept his offer. "No" Bulma said smacking his hand away "BULMA GO AND DANCE WITH HIM OR I WILL SEND YOU TO THE DUGEON" King briefs shouted grabbing their hands and forcing her to hold Yamcha's hand. Yamcha bowed and slowly dragged Bulma to the floor "Stupid girl you should learn your place as a woman with no say or decisions" Yamcha said rudely but seductively looking Bulma up and down practically stripping her with his eyes.

Bulma noticed this and was disgusted at his rudeness "As if I have no say I have more say than you, you perverted bastard" Bulma said disgustedly. "For now you do but tonight you won't and never will but beautiful slut you will be mine" Yamcha grunted back sneering at the fiery Bulma "You will never have my heart" Bulma raged back. "I don't want your heart my dear I only want your title and your body and I will have both tonight," Yamcha said chuckling.

The music finally started and Yamcha pulled Bulma close and started moving his hands down when they changed partners. Bulma was relieved when she started getting more distant from the perverted Yamcha. Bulma was dancing with the Prince of Venus and then changed partners once again to the Prince of Elvain, then she saw Yamcha approaching her, she decided to do a side step. She felt to strong arms wrap around her small waist then the music changed to a slow beat where you do not change partners any more (A/N How ironic)

Bulma looked up at the onyx-eyed man with a flame shaped hairstyle. She also noticed that he had the symbol of Saiyan royalty imprinted on the left side of his chest plate armour. He had a stunned expression on his face, which was unusual, because all the other men she danced with had a sign of lust in their eyes or excitement. "You must be Prince Vegeta" Bulma asked intelligently, slowly wrapping her delicate arms around his muscled corded neck "Yes, and you must be the lovely Princess Bulma" Vegeta replied smirking and also surprised by her soft touch.

THE END HA HA HA you will never know what happens Just kidding. Next chapter up soon. R & R PLEASE

Just to let you know why it was 7.5 minutes to landing, I VeryShortMidget wanted it to be 5 minutes but Kataan wanted it to be 10 minutes. So after much fighting we came to 7.5 minutes for those of you who aren't mathematicians that's in-between 5 and 10. ( :
