Chapter One

In front of a large white two story house, down winding steps that lead to a well sized garden a woman with long blue hair knelt on her knee's gardening, her name was Bulma and with her long blue silky hair and well figured form she was one of the prettiest servants in the whole town.

She had been accustomed to being asked for by Pig farmer's and poet's and her favorite kind of men, thieves, it was amazing how many men had asked for her hand, had quarreled and fought over her, but she didn't want to be a man's wife, all she wanted was for her home to be free of her evil stepmother Cruella, and her two spoilt stepsisters Alexandra and Michella, for though they were beautiful and sweet to men who had large sums of money they were cruel and ugly to her.

Her best friend ChiChi was the only one she could stand in the house, she shared her room with ChiChi and ate with her, and even talked to her when her stepmother wasn't looking, Bulma had been forbidden to talk to anyone ever since her father died, her stepmother said she could not stand her voice, but when ChiChi came they talked for hours about getting away from this place and being free from the shadow of their keeper.

But Bulma's face was sad today her smile gone, ChiChi had just been sold to the King so her stepmother wouldn't have to spend her money, tear's filled Bulma's eyed as she remembered being locked in her chamber while she heard CHiChi's screams as she was dragged into a carriage headed for the castle, she had to get ChiChi out of there before the afternoon was out.

Luckily Bulma had a plan, for that morning she had carefully taken more than she was suppose to, and in a few minutes she was to go to town and get food for tonight's dinner, she just hoped that fifteen gold franks were enough.

Bulma stood up after she finished planting the carrots and brushed the dirt off her skirts , she walked carefully and quietly into the house and changed into her sister's blue dress, and did her hair in a bun, then set off for town on her father's horse to free ChiChi, she knew if her stepmother found out what she was doing then she'd be whipped for sure and proberly sold herself.

Some time later she stopped at the front gates of the castle and with supreme silence walked past the guards with her head held high, once inside the grounds she saw the cage and there in the cage sure enough was ChiChi shivering from the cold and wedged between people that could hardly stand straight in the cage, she rushed towards the man who sat with his horsewhip in hand ready to head for the ships to america, "Sir, wait please?" she begged, the man looked up from his seat at her and he suddenly made a slimy smile that curved to the side of his face, "Well well what do we have here now lass?" he asked with his scottish accent, "I wish to pay for one of these servants, she is my servant and I wish to pay the debt against her" she said trying not to sound weak, "Well how much do you have?" he asked smiling wider, "I have fifteen gold franks!" she announced and then looked into the frightened eyes of her friend, "Fifteen gold franks huh" he said snorting, "Not enough, that wouldn't even pay for me" he said laughing.

Suddenly whispers went around and she heard horse's coming closer, suddenly thy stopped behind her and she could feel someone's presence crowd hers, the crowd shushed and stepped more closer, "What is this then?" A proud strong voice said to the man who held the whip, "Sire she want's to buy one of her servants back, but they are already sold" the man said shakily, Bulma turned around to look into the eyes of a handsome man who she assumed to be the prince, "May I ask why you have decided to sell someone then buy them back?" he asked highly amused by the situation, "Yes Sire" she said bowing then walked closer to the cage as her friend came to the front, "I did not sell my servant, someone found her in the forest picking fruits and tried to sell her, she would have stopped him from selling her but she is mute, I only just found out now what has happened" she said as she waved a hand towards her friend.

Goku, Prince Vegeta's squire looked from the woman standing beside the cage, to the woman who stood inside the cage, the woman in the cage looked more beautiful than anyone he had seen, her long flowing hair cascaded around her shoulders, her eyes dark were wide with fear, and her low cut dress showed her pale fair skin, he nudged Vegeta, "Leave the servant to my care" he suggested silently then pulled up straight went the lady who was standin by the cage stared at him in wonder, "Well I fear that there is only one thing to do" Prince Vegeta said to lady who stood by the cage in waiting for his answer, "Doe's she cook?" he asked and when she nodded her head in puzzlement, "Good then she is to be given to my squire Sir Goku" he announced and waved his hand back toward his friend who was already getting down to get the woman out of the cage, "But sire...." she asked and came forward a bit, and it was then that Prince Vegeta saw how beautiful she really was and how she cared for her servant, a tightning in his groin made him groan a little, "You will of course be allowed to see her if you'd like" he suggested to her then looked back to the cage to see his friend help the black haired beauty down from the cage and then help her onto his horse before jumping behind her.

Suddenly Bulma's eyes filed with tears and she tried to hold them back when she saw the fear in ChiChi's eyes, what was she to do now?, Vegeta felt a sudden wave of guilt wash over him when he saw a single tear trail down her cheek before she wiped it away with the back of her hand, "Sir Goku will send someone to get her things from your house, unless you would like to being them yourself?" he suggested trying to make her happier, "Ah Yes, I shall she does not have many things so I will come this afternoon" she announced then after giving him a nod she looked once more at her friend then went to the entrance of the castle to her horse.

Vegeta watched her leave in a hurry as she moved through the crowd, "It's alright my dear you shall be alright at my home!" Goku said softly into ChiChi's ear as she gently urged his mount around so he could take her back to his place as soon as possible, he nodded his head to Vegeta and tightened his arm around her to make her feel safe before they went to his home, with Vegeta beside him.
