Meanwhile, up on Frieza's chip.

"Um, Lord Frieza?" Dodoria asked.

"What?" Frieza replied.

"Where's the monkey?"

"He didn't want to come."
"Really? Well that's odd." Zarbon said.

"Yeah. We thought that he would've jumped at the thought of becoming King of the Saiyans. Like his big ape of a father." Dodoria said.

"Well he didn't. All he did was blabber on about having a family on that puny planet, and how he didn't want to leave them." Frieza replied.

"Wow. That little monkey has a family? Geez, that planet must have some brainless women." said Zarbon.

"Yeah really." Dodoria replied to Zarbon.

"Would you two just shut up?!" Frieza yelled.

"GAH!! SORRY LORD FRIEZA!" Zarbon and Dodoria said. And they went off leaving Frieza alone.

"Ugh... I can't believe I even let them live....." Frieza muttered under his breath.

Bulma heard the shower running upstairs, and figured that it was Vegeta. She went upstairs and walked into their bathroom. "Vegeta?" she said.

"What?!" Vegeta replied.

"Are you okay?"

"Kami! Why does everyone keep asking me that?!"
"I just wanna know is you're all right."
"I'm fine...!"
"No you're not, Vegeta. I can tell from you're voice. It's not like I was born yesterday. I know you too well." Vegeta didn't reply. Because of this, Bulma got undressed and entered the shower with Vegeta.

"What are you doing?!" Vegeta screamed.

"I want to make shore you're okay."
"I'm fine, woman! Now get out of my shower!"
"This is not you're shower!!! It's both of ours, which means I can get in too." Vegeta didn't reply to her this time either. He just wanted to stand there in the warm water and relax, but with Bulma watching him, trying to make shore he was okay, he couldn't.

"Darn it, woman..." Vegeta said.

"What? What's wrong?" Bulma replied.

"This is why we need a hot tub." Bulma just laughed, and said. "I can make one for you."

"Right now?" Vegeta asked.

"Yeah, sure."

"Okay. Go make it, then."
"Ugh... Ya know, you'd think that you don't even know how to say please, or thank you."

"...Please?"

"Oh, haha. Very funny." With saying that, Bulma got out of the shower, dried off, put new clothes on, and went to her workshop room where she makes every thing.

About and hour later, Vegeta turned the shower off, and got out. He put his robe on, but didn't get dressed. He walked down stairs, and into Bulma's workshop. "Is it done yet?" he asked Bulma.

"What do you think I am? A robot that does every thing in less than an hour?!" Bulma replied.

"That would be nice."

"Very funny. But I'm almost done."

"How long will it take?"

"About half and hour, or so."
"Okay."

"Vegeta? I want to ask you a question." Bulma said. But Vegeta didn't reply. "Vegeta?" Bulma turned around and saw nothing but the doorway he left open. "Twit." she muttered.

"You're a bigger twit." Bulma heard Vegeta say. She looked around but didn't see him anywhere. Then she looked up. "Vegeta! So that's where you went." Vegeta was floating above her. "Thanks for the view."

"Huh?" Vegeta looked down. "Oh, crud!" he said as a floated down onto the floor. "Baka robe..."
"Yeah. Those things don't have bottoms."

"Ah, hush u--" he was cut off by Bulma kissing him.

Later that night, Bulma had made the hot tub, and she and Vegeta were sitting in it. Vegeta had his eyes closed, but Bulma was watching him. She knew something was wrong.

"Vegeta?" she said.

Vegeta opened his eyes, startled, because he fell asleep. "Yes?" he replied.

"What's... What's wrong?" Vegeta paused, trying to think of something to say, other than, 'Oh, nothing. Except for the fact that Frieza wants me to come back to his ship and be King of the only two Saiyans alive. And I can't think of anything to do with my life right now.'

"I've just been thinking about things..." he said.

"Like what 'things'"? Bulma asked.

"Like... Why is the sky blue? And why is the grass green?"

"You joking... Right?"

"DUH."

Bulma smiled and got out of the tub. "Leaving already?" Vegeta said.

"Hai, I am. Do you have a problem with this?" she replied.

"Well, we just got in about ten minutes ago!"

"Vegeta, we got in the tub about and hour ago."

"Say what?! But..."
"You fell asleep." Vegeta didn't reply. But he got out as well.

The next day, Vegeta woke up in his bed, but with no Bulma next to him. He got out of bed and walked down stairs, and into the kitchen. "Hey Otousan." He heard Trunks say. Trunks was sitting at the kitchen table, with a bowl of cereal. Vegeta didn't answer Trunks. He just went to the cabinet and got a bowl and some cereal. Then went to the fridge to get some milk, and then got a spoon. He sat down at the table and poured the cereal and milk into the bowl, and started to eat. "Where did your mother go...?" Vegeta said while swallowing his food.

"Mom? I don't know. The last time I saw her was lest night." Trunks replied.

Vegeta just stared at his cereal, stirring it with his spoon.

Later that day, Vegeta hadn't seen Bulma all day, and was getting a bit worried. He was walking over to the school where Bulla went, because Bulma usually picked her up at the end of school, but Bulma hasn't been around.

Vegeta was sitting outside of the school doors, five minutes before school was out. He closed his eyes and tilted his head down. He opened his eyes and saw a little black spider, sitting on his shoe. "Hello there, can I help you?" he said while still looking at it. He then kicked up his shoe and the spider went flying into the air. He lifted his hand and grabbed the spider in mid air, squishing it within his grasp. Just then, the bell rang, and the doors flew open, with little children flying out of the building. "PAPA!!!" Vegeta heard a little voice scream. He turned around, and saw Bulla standing there, with the cute, but big, happy smile on her face. "Hey there kiddo." He said as he picked her up and started to walk home.

"Papa? Where's Mama?" Bulla asked.

"I have no idea..." Vegeta replied.

They got home and walked through the door. "Trunks!! Me and Papa are home!!" Bulla cried. "It's 'Papa and I'. Not 'Me and Papa'." Vegeta said quietly.

Bulla just stared at her father. Then Trunks walked into the room. "Welcome back, Otousan." he said.

"Thanks." Vegeta replied. "Has your mother come around yet?"

"Not yet... I don't know where she went. But I hope she's okay."

"So do I..."

"Papa? You haven't seen Mama any time today?" Bulla asked. Vegeta nodded a yes to his little daughter.

Up on Frieza's ship, Dodoria was looking through a glass window at some girls sitting on the floor, all with their hands and ankles in chains. One of the girls had a dress on, and was wearing a necklace. And she had blue hair and blue eyes... It was Bulma. Frieza had kidnapped her last night.

"LET ME GO, YOU FREAKS!!!" Bulma cried. But no one answered her. Just then, Dodoria walked through the door leading to the room Bulma was in.

"LET ME GO!!!" Bulma cried again.

"You should learn to respect your masters." Dodoria said.

"I AM NOT YOUR SLAVE!! AND YOU FREAKS ARE NOT MY MASTERS!!!"

"I wasn't talking to you, you little worm." Dodoria said. "I was talking to her." He pointed to the girl next to him who was sticking her tongue at him.

Bulma just stared at him. Then she looked over to the girl next to her. Then Dodoria walked over and grabbed the girl, dragging her away to another room. Bulma stared at the door that they walked through. And then she heard the most painful cry ever... Dodoria had killed the girl. Bulma started to cry.

"Vegeta... HELP ME!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE, VEGETA!!!" she screamed with tears pouring out of her eyes. "Please....... Vegeta, save me....!!!"


Chi: -tear rolls down cheek- I sure hope Veggie will be able to save Bulma..!

Vegeta: -sighs- You're just going to keep on acting like this, aren't you....?

Chi: Like what?

Vegeta: -blinks- You're so brainless.

Chi: -smiles, and looks to the readers- Now go and read the next chapter, my brothers and my sisters! -pushes up glasses in a Taishi like way-

Vegeta: -sweatdrops- Good Kami... You worry me.
