Hey! I have so much homework, and yet here I am writing my fanfic ... I'm so going to fail. I just thought you should know that if you found the beginning a little bit of a bore, it was very important to the last chapter. I'm trying to make it one of those stories that you could never guess what it was until it tells you, yet looking back it kinda makes sense. Atleast ... that's what I hope for. So please RR

Last Time: Goku's and Vegeta's little chat ...


Chapter 14 – Break In

Bailey cuddled closer to the warmth. She didn't want to wake up, the images of her sister's bodies filled her mind. The real world just brought pain. Why did these people have to die? Why, for what cause? Bailey silently wept into the warm pillow she was wrapped around… a pillow that was breathing? The pillow moved restlessly.

Bailey sat straight up. "Goku," she screamed. "What are you doing in my bed?" She went to leap out of bed, then realized she only had her underwear on. So she grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around herself. She was vastly relieved to see that he wasn't naked.

"I … uh … Bailey?" Goku said as he stood up, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes. "Why are you in my bed?"

"I'm not in your bed! You are in my bed!" Bailey screamed.

Goku suddenly remembered last night. "Oh, I just wanted to check in on you, I must have fallen asleep."

"Ya think?" Bailey said sarcastically. She shook he head. "This isn't important. I need to check up on Kyle." With that she left the room, heading for the bathroom. She quickly got a shower and dressed. She wore jeans and a tank-top. She had never been the type of person to care about clothes, especially today. All she could think about was how Kyle must feel. Bailey remembered how hard it was to wake up for he first time in a new world. She wanted to be there to help Kyle.

As she made her way out of the bathroom, she was a bit shocked to see that Goku was gone and Vegeta was sitting on the edge of the bed. "Hey," she muttered. "What are you doing?"

"I just thought I would come … you know check up on you." He said under his breath. A blush slowly made itself known on his cheeks. "So, what has been going on?"

Bailey walked over and took a seat next to him. "I'm guessing that you and Goku have already talked about everything." He grunted his confirmation. "So I guess what you are trying to say is, 'am I alright?' right?" Bailey looked up at him. He merely nodded. "I'm … not fine, but I'll survive. I mean, you guys are here. Though …"

Vegeta looked at her, and harshly asked, "Though what?"

"Think back to all the stories you have ever heard about the z senshi. I know that this was never part of the shows. I can't help but think …. We might really screw up. And what will happen if we do? It's not exactly like we can just press restart button. We only have one chance against it, what ever 'it' is. I mean, we don't even know what we are up against." Bailey looked down at her folded hands in her lap. This was the first time she had been able to talk so calmly in front of any one about it. "Whatever's out there is after me … isn't it?" Bailey muttered, looking up at Vegeta, trusting him not to lie.

"It looks that way," Vegeta nodded. Bailey's head dropped. "But don't worry. We'll be here for you, no matter what." Bailey smiled at that, and would have hugged him … if it hadn't been Vegeta. So instead she did the one thing that could really show how much she appreciated what he'd said.

"Let's spar!"


Bailey and Goku hadn't been able to train during the last week, and were a bit rusty, but it didn't take long for them to get back into the swing of things. Fighting and dodging, they talked about everything from politics to TV shows. They avoided the serious topics, no one wanting to be the one to break the comfort. They trained and trained, Bailey only left once, and that was to get food and check up on Kyle, who seemed to have found a new friend in Trunks. It wasn't until around one in the afternoon was put off, as the door to the GR opened with incredible force.

"What the hell are you three doing in my GR?" Vegeta Sr. growled, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Vegeta Jr. seemed to like making his ancestor mad. For he answered in the most disgusting tone, "This piece of junk? We were trying to train… but it'd hard while in this pathetic excuse for a machine."

Vegeta Sr. looked ready to explode. Bailey immediately went to calm the two down, when Goku stopped her. "I have an idea," Goku whispered. "Hey Vegeta! No, the older one (Vegeta Sr. looked even more deadly)! Do you want to have a spar with my grandpa Goku?" Bailey looked at Goku, was he going to call him up?

"Yeah …" Vegeta Sr. looked a bit suspicious. Goku closed his eyes, the next second the older version of the Goku of this time appeared. Vegeta seemed to relax.

"So, you want to battle me?" Goku Sr. asked. "This should be fun!" Bailey watched in anticipation as they walked up to each other. Then they were gone!

"Where'd they go!" Bailey gasped, running to where they had been standing. She started to panic, please don't let them be dead too!

Goku quickly put his arm around her. "Don't worry, grandpa used instant transmission to get them to a safe place far away, so they won't hurt any one." Bailey automatically felt embarrassed, but she quickly rejected the feeling. It wasn't her fault that her mind always thought of the worse case scenario, after all that had happened so far. Then she started to feel disappointed. She had been looking forward to seeing them fight.

She then noticed the time. "Guys, I need to check up on Kyle."

"Kay, I'll go with you." Goku said as they both exited, leaving Vegeta alone to train in the GR.

They rounded the corner to see two kids holding a picture, giggling hysterically. "What are you two looking at?" Bailey asked, in her I'm-in-charge-and-you-better-not-mess-with-me voice. The two children, hurriedly tried to hide what ever photo they had been looking at, but they hadn't count on Goku's speed. One second the photo was in their hands, the next second it was in Goku's hand, halfway across the room.

Bailey quickly hurried over to Goku, to see what they had been looking at. Her face went beet red. Apparently someone had gone into her room last night and taken a picture of her and Goku in, what looked misleadingly like, an intimate position, for lack of a better word. "Did you two take this?" Goku said, glaring at them. They both started to deny at the same time. Goku merely held up a hand to silence them. "On at a time."

Kyle was the first one to talk. "We didn't take it, I swear! Bulma did. She said she needed to show Chichi how the great, great, great grandkids are coming alone." Bailey and Goku looked at each other. They were going to kill Bulma.

"RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG," an alarm rang. It's noise was piercing. Bulma came running into the room. "Some one's broken in!" She seemed very hassled. Then again the CC was the top in security, if someone had breeched the security here …

Vegeta Sr. and Goku Sr. came running in, with Vegeta Jr. on their heals. "What is going on here woman?" Vegeta Sr. asked roughly, yelling with his hands over his ears.

"I don't know! Someone must have broken in!" Bulma yelled back. It was hard to heard over the piercing ring of the damn bell. Bailey noticed Goku and Vegeta exchange knowing looks. Finally the bell turned off … well, it was actually blown up with the combined effort of the two Vegeta's.

Goku turned to Bailey. "Do you still have that picture of us?" He asked. Bailey nodded, looked down at the picture and gasped. She had been cut out. When had this happened? When it had been in her hand? She let the picture drop. She vaguely heard Goku tell Vegeta to check on the portal and the DR. Her mind just couldn't wrap around it. Who would do this to her? Who hated her that much? She blindly made her way to a chair.

Vegeta came back into the room. "The portal is broken, but the DR was left alone."

"It mustn't be important anymore." Goku said softly.

"No shit Sherlock," Vegeta said sarcastically.

"But why is the portal still important," Goku wondered out loud as he watched Bailey.

"Isn't it obvious?" Vegeta asked. "Who ever is behind this doesn't want her to go back home. The portal could probably do just that."


So, I hope you enjoyed it. By the way, should I change the 'romance' part to 'suspense' in the theme categories? It's really up to you. RR I need to sign off, my sister's giving me the 'evil eye'. She actually wants to do homework.
