T: ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz….
B: Aw…..Haven't you seen anything more precious in your life?
T: Mmmmmm I am not precious…
B: Cute then.
T: And especially not cute! ZZZZZZzzzz….
B: How does he bloody do that?
Venux and Trunks stared at Vegeta in shock. "Dad, what do you mean? What's your idea?" Vegeta fasage did not change as he looked at the curious pair before him. "I have an idea to fix the mess we are in." "What would that be?" Venux asked. "Have you ever heard of a planet called Nameke?" Trunks' eyes grew wide. When he was younger, his Mom would tell him the stories of her adventurous Nameke days. "You don't mean what I think your implying Dad!" he cried out shocked.
Of course poor Venux was left clueless and in the dark. "What's Nameke?" she asked. "Nameke is a planet full of things called Namekians. They create 7 orange star orbs, depending on what orb you get it will have different number of stars in it. But that is not the point. The point is that they are called Dragonballs and when they are brought together they make this Dragon come out and they grant any wish you want. The one on Nameke is called Parunga and he grants 3 wishes." Vegeta told her. "My Mom went there with her friends to stop Frieza before I was born." Trunks added. "O" was Venux's only response. "Dad, we could cause more problems for the Planet Nameke." Trunks argued as he headed back to the main subject.
"Well Brat, we do not have a choice in the matter. If we want the universe in order, we are going to have to use the Dragonballs." Vegeta pointed out. "There has to be another way." "There is none. Now stop arguing with me Brat. You know as well as I the risk, but if you want everything back to the way it was before, then we must take this risk." Trunks remained quiet.
"Fine Dad, your right." Trunks claimed in defeat. He hated to admit it, hell Vegeta and right should never be in the same sentence, but his Father did prove a point. But that didn't mean he had to like it. Vegeta nodded as he knew that Trunks realized he was right on this. Then at this, he stood up and made his way to the door.. "Where are you going Vegeta?" asked Venux giving him a puzzled look. "I don't' have to tell you what I am doing!" he snapped. "It would be nice to." Trunks pointed out.
They could hear the animalistic growl escape Vegeta's throat as he had his back to them. He continued to head out the door, but stopped at the doorway to reply. "I'm going to go inform the Woman of our plans. Brat, you go and set the ship's course to Nameke. I think the Woman should not be alone." Then he continued to head towards Bulma's bedroom. "Do you think we should let him go?" Venux asked Trunks worriedly. "Nah I think I know what is gonna happen. Just come with me. I don't think you wanna hear the consequences ." Trunks chuckled as they headed to the control room of the ship.
Cooler!-
He sat so overjoyed on his throne as he gazed upon the upset faces of his traitors. OH how he relished in their pain as he gave them their 'surprise'. He took a sip of wine from his glass and looked to his team of warriors and scientists. "Let this be a lesson to all those who oppose me." he commented. Everyone watched the monitor and Cooler in fear.
"Sire," came the head scientist's voice. He appeared to the Tyrant before him. "What do you want?" "Should I get your ship prepared for Nameke sire?" he asked. Cooler nodded. "Very well sire. It shall be ready to part by morning." "Oh, and rally up my best men. I want to beat them to Nameke as well." Cooler sneered. "Very well sire. It shall be done." replied the scientist. He turned on his heel and headed out to fulfill his duties. Cooler stared at the monitors as Trunks showed Venux how to plot courses on the control panel. "Soon. Very soon. I will claim what is rightfully mine."
Bulma/Vegeta!-
Bulma emerged from the steamy bathroom with puffy, swollen eyes and a change of pajamas. She didn't' feel any better. Her stomach felt as if knots and a headache from hell from all her crying took over her body. It did not lesson her mood. How could any of this happen? Everything she loved was gone. Taken from her in only a matter of days. How could Cooler do this to her? How could she have let this happen? She should've never left. She had no one to blame but only herself.
Bulma staggered to her bed and flopped down upon it. "Computer." she mumbled into her pillow. Her voice was so full of sadness and cracked from her crying. "Stay by shake sphere's sister." Then the sounds of 'Stay' filled the room.
If This world is wearing thin
And your thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand
(chorus)
Stay with me
Stay with me
In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There is no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more
(chorus)
You better hope and pray that you make it safe back to your own world
You better hope and pray that you wake one day back in your own world
When you sleep at night they don't hear your cries back in your own world
Only time will tell if you can't break the spell back in your own world
(chorus)
Bulma pulled her pillow to her and embraced it as she spooned it. How could she feel so alone She was the last sole survivor of her people. What would she do? Funny how this happened to Vegeta and Trunks and Venux and now her. Even the girl was like her as well. They all are the last of their own race of people. How tragic. What was she to do now? Where would she go? How should she cope with this? Bulma let the tears come again as she sobbed into her pillow. Just then, there was a knock at her door. "Who is it?" she called sitting up and tried furiously to wipe away the tears and stop them from coming.
Vegeta opened the door and closed as she came into the room. He came to the site of a beautiful creature before him. Even in her pathetic state of tears, puffy eyes, and beyond revealing outfit of spaghetti strap Japanese silk pajamas she, to him, was the most stunningly beautiful goddess he had ever laid eyes upon.
"Ve-Vegeta?" she asked. Vegeta came and sat down beside her. Then without an invitation, he pulled her into his embrace. The couple hugged each other in silence. Not a word needed to be spoken. Only their actions could tell their feelings. Bulma clung to him as if she left go, he would turn cold and leave. It was still a mystery of why he was here, holding her, and allowing her to be 'weak' as she cried onto him.
He was so warm. So caring and gentle. She had never, out of the entire time of knowing him, ever shown even a shred of remorse to her Now here he was and she enjoyed every minute with him privately to herself. Vegeta cradled her on his lap as he held her. "Woman…Bulma, I know what you are feeling. My home was lost as well to that dysfunctional family. But everything will be well soon. We are heading to Nameke as we speak and we shall collect the Dragonballs and bring everything back to the way it once was before. "Are we really?" she asked in a daze as she looked at him in shock. Vegeta nodded and replied "Yes." Bulma closed her eyes and rested upon him once more. "Vegeta…" she started out. "Yes Bulma?" "Make love to me. Right here and right now. I want to forget the pain right now. So please let's delay our misery and make love." she whispered.
(T: EEEEWWWWW! FOR THE LOVE OF KAMI WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PUT THAT! B: I thought it was sweet. V: Your just jealous Brat. I am getting some and you aren't! T: Oh yeah, I'm o jealous my Mom and Dad are about….-barfs- forget it, I disown myself as your son. That is just wrong to think of! B: Fine, then you won't be born. T: good. V: all right let's get right back on track. B: Excellent idea Veggie. Peeps, don't mind me. This is comic humor! Well back to story!)
Vegeta looked down at Bulma. "Is that what you truly want Bulma?" "Vegeta I need you more than you will ever know." Vegeta smirked. For the first time in his life, he was actually needed by someone. And he felt the one thing in his life that didn't lash out at him in anger or hit him retaliating in his face. He felt love. And it took this weak, stupid, selfish, emotionally crazed Woman to show him that. He was more than grateful to her in the end. So he pulled her under him and time stood still.
B: How sweet. I like this chappie!
T: -sulking in corner as he gives her evil eye- Mom, you're a sick, sick person!
B: Oh shut up Trunks. Like you know any better! Besides you'll get your turn eventually!
T: -shivers- Don't even say that! Please!
B: Fine. I will continue!
DC: I….ow….don't own DB/Z/GT
