DISCLAIMER - Maybe i had a dream about owning it once, but obviously it's never gonna happen. I own Setorene, but that's it! Me no own DBZ!


Vegeta got up even earlier than usual to begin his training as the guests for the big reunion party were scheduled to arrive at around ten o'clock. He ended his training session at 8:00 a.m. so that he would have time to get ready for the party before-hand. As he went up to take a shower, he remembered his son's words from the day before.

"…you can't have Setorene around like this against Mom's will everyday!"

"…You don't need her to train; you have Me, Goten, Gohan, even Goku! And besides, she's a bad influence! She is untrustworthy, manipulative, lying…"

"Father, this has to stop!"

He huffed angrily as he let the near-boiling water run over his body.

'What right does he have to say such things? He doesn't even know her!' He thought to himself. It scared him how much Trunks' attitude was similar to his mother's, but what scared him even more was his own reaction to Trunks' comments.

"And what would you have me do, then? Not train with her at all? Then I would have no training partner! And since when do you decide what I should and should not do?"

"And what would you know of her! You never sat down and had a conversation with her and tried to find out what she is like! You sound just like your goddamn mother! And I could never train with anyone else because, unlike you weaklings, she is the only one who puts up a decent fight!"

"If you EVER speak of her like that again, and I mean EVER, you will face severe consequences, boy."

He ran one hand through his soaked, jet black hair and slammed the other one against the wall of the shower, causing a small dent in the tiled pattern.

'Damn it! I can't believe I lost my cool like that! I never get that angry over an insult! Not to my family, not to my race, not even to me directly.'


He buttoned his white shirt up over his tank top, checked his reflection in the mirror, not that he cared what he saw, and crossed his room to the door which he swung open to reveal the person he wanted to see least of all right then. Trunks.

"What do you want?" He didn't bother hiding the annoyance in his voice.

"Mom asked me to inform you that they are about to arrive." He replied in an irritated manner, before turning and leaving Vegeta leaning against the door frame.

He knew exactly from the tone of Trunks' voice who 'they' were. Or rather, who 'she' was. Setorene.

He made his way downstairs and out into the backyard. He was almost overwhelmed by how many people there were there, though he knew almost all of them.

Some looked older, some younger. Some had lost vast amounts of weight, and some had gained. Some had such different characteristics from the last time he had seen them that he barely recognized them. But one girl would remain exactly as she had been the last time he'd seen her. And the time before that, and the time before that. Setorene.

He scanned the crowd, glancing around, trying to spot her. He couldn't see her anywhere. Then, as he looked up, he saw three figures flying towards the party. Videl… Pan… Ah, yes. There she was.

He began to make his way over to a secluded space a bit further along the backyard, deeper into the garden. He would wait for a few minutes before going to see her, so that Bulma would not get too suspicious. He leant against one of the walls of the giant hedge maze (NB— Now don't tell me that you weren't expecting something like this! For those of you who have your heads somewhere up in the clouds, CC IS MASSIVE! So, naturally, they would have something like a hedge maze in their backyard.) thinking it would be enough to take his weight.

He was only leaning there for a few seconds when he began to feel a little off balance, which is when he realized he was falling into the hedge! He tried pulling himself out of it, but it was as if something was hooked onto him. He pulled harder and harder, trying to break free, but was no use, he was almost completely swallowed by the hedge, when he heard a voice whisper in his ear.

"Hey, don't struggle so much, you don't wanna rip your shirt, Geta." Someone told him, with just a hint of sarcasm in their hushed voice.

"Hey, what did you call me?" He asked the voice. "The only one who calls me that is…" He realized in his mind who it was dragging him through the hedge. He let his body go limp and allowed himself to be drawn through the bush. He landed with a thud on a dirt path.

Standing up and dusting himself off, he looked to the side and saw Setorene standing there, looking at him with a smirk on her face.

"Something funny?" Vegeta questioned.

"Nothing. Nothing at all." She replied with a small chuckle. She began walking down the dirt path, towards the centre of the maze, and made a motion for Vegeta to follow her. He did so, and followed her until they came to a small garden, fenced in by roses, with a set of white swings in the middle (picture Rivendell from LOTR) big enough to fit three people, although it was probably made for two.

She sat down on one end and Vegeta followed suit and sat down on the other.

"So, what'd the ha-, err, woman, have to say about the gravity room?" She asked.

"The harpy decided that she wasn't going to fix it for another week just to knock it into my 'thick skull'. I swear, she will do anything within her grasp to get on my nerves! She's such a blockhead." He replied.

"Rather predictable, isn't it? With her temper, and having her blowing her top all the time. Don't you just want to leave? I would."

He thought for a minute. Then he chuckled to himself.

"Everyone's going inside to eat lunch. Afterwards, meet me here again. I must show you something."

And with those words, He took to the air and landed at the CC back door. Setorene followed, slightly intrigued by what he may have in store for her after lunch was over. She landed behind him. Just as he was going inside though, he turned around to face her.

"Oh, and I would appreciate it if you just called me Vegeta whilst in the presence of others."

"Whatever."
