Bulma
B: Okay Trunks, here ya go! -hands a bung of food to him all ready to eat!-
T: Thanks Mom. -takes it and begins to eat- Hey Mom, have you seen Recap lately?
B: No, why?
T: Hmmm something doesn't seem right.
B: Uh…okay. Don't worry about it.
T: Right
R: -in shadows- Now, I will combine forces with DC and then we shall see what happens! MUHAHAHAHA!
2 Hours Away From Nameke!-
Vegeta kept mostly to himself for the remainder of the voyage. He seldom came out. Only to retrieve his food and he stayed as far from everyone as possible. As for Bulma, Trunks convinced her to come out of her 'tomb'" He helped her change her room to it's previous state and she started to eat again because he threatened to get angry at her. And so she once again socialize with the rest of the group. Karara, however, still did not get the Prince back. So Bulma felt it was her duty to spend more time with the child.
Bulma put on some clean clothes after her shower and headed for the dining part of the ship. She found Venux and Karara eating and Trunks was no where in site. Bulma walked over to the kitchen counter and pulled herself a cup of coffee and sat on the counter. "So…where is Trunks?" she asked. Venux looked up from her food and replied. "I think he is in the labs. I believe he is working on a plan as we speak."
Bulma nodded and hopped down from the counter. "Miss. Bulma will you play with me later?" asked a small voice as Bulma started to head to the control room with her coffee in hand. She turned and smiled at the lil' girl. "Of course. But right now eat up and we are gonna be landing soon and then we are gonna go on a big and fun adventure." Karara's eyes widen as she had excitement in her eyes. "Really! An adventure!" "Mmmhmmm." with that issue settled, Bulma headed for the labs.
Bulma found Trunks hunched over in his chair. He seemed to be thinking and lost in thought. Bulma knocked on the door to get his attention. Trunks' head shot up and eyes softened as he saw it was his Mother. "Mom, what are you doing here?" "Checking up on you. What are you thinking about?" Bulma asked as she entered the room and took a seat beside her son. "Thinking up a plan own where to start looking." he said smiling at her.
"Oh, well what do you have in mind?" she asked. "Well I was thinking that…" Trunks voice trailed off as his fasage turned darkly and a bit frightened. "Tr-trunks? What's wrong? Your scaring me." Bulma asked afraid. Trunks turned and looked at her. "Mom, Cooler is on Nameke." "NANI!" she cried. "How do you know!" "I can sense him."
"But we are so far from Nameke." Bulma stated shocked. "Mom, he's powerful. This is the plan. Dad and I will go and distract Cooler. You and my family will go gather the Dragonballs. And because you 3 have weak ki's, It will be harder for him to find you. So that seems to be the logical reason. I will go inform Dad of the plan and you…" "No, I will go and inform him, you go and inform your family."
"Mom, are you sure you are up to it? Dad is pretty harsh right now." Trunks pointed out. "Trunks, me and your father are adults. I think we can handle a perfectly civilized discussion on the battle plan for Nameke." Bulma countered. Trunks released a warm smile and a comforting hand on his Mother's shoulder. "Well, if you should need me, you know my name." "Hai." Bulma smiled. Then they both stood up and head to inform the 'crew' of their new information.
Bulma parted from Trunks and headed for the gravity room. Needless to say, she was scared. She had not faced Vegeta for almost a week. And last time they last encountered each other, he said such terrible things to her. But Bulma had to 'suck it up' and face her problems head on. She had to face Vegeta sooner or later. Bulma turned a corner and at the end of the hall, there stood the door to the GR. Bulma walked straight up to it. She heard the familiar hum indicating it was functioning properly and that was still inside.
Bulma sucked in a shaky breath. ("Come on Bulma, it is now or never.") she thought forcefully as she knocked on the door loudly. Bulma put on a blank stare on her features as she heard the humming cease and the footsteps of someone heading for the door. Bulma gulped as the door opened. Vegeta stood there with a scowl. As he gazed upon her, he felt a tug at his none existing heart. She looked terrible underneath her mask. He really did a number on her. But, he pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind.
"What do you want?" he asked in an unwelcoming tone. Bulma stood her ground. "I came to tell you that we will be landing in a few hours. But there is a problem. Cooler is waiting for us." Vegeta's scowl deepened. "Stupid female, of course I knew! I am preparing for the battle to come before your stupid mind interrupted my precious training and wasting my time!" he sneered. Bulma bit her bottom lip. He was trying to make her feel worse and he knew he was doing a damn good job of it.
"Well here is the plan, you and Trunks will go and distract Cooler while me and his family will go and find the Dragonballs. So we can make the wishes." Vegeta snorted. "Don't go and kill yourself. Kami knows how weak you are." he sneered. Bulma kept a steady face. "Yes well, I have a preparations to do you now know what is happening. So I will leave you to your training." Bulma returned coolly. Then she turned on her heal and left Vegeta behind. He truly was a fool.
B: Veggie poo, did you learn your lesson?
V: Whatever…woman…
T: I should beat him up more.
B: No Trunks, now I will continue on with the story. You go and chill.
T: Mmm'kay -B leaves and T kicks V for good measure.!-
DC: -sneaks up to B's labs and destroys her newest model and points all evidence to T.-
R: Hey! That was my idea!
DC: NUH UH!
R: YEAH HUH!
T:-walks in- What are you 2 morons doing?
DC/R: Nuthin'
T: -eyes them suspiciously. Shrugs and leaves.- Oh and don't own DB/Z/GTR!
C'ya

PS MOMENT OF ZEN!
Heart we will forget him
You and I tonight
I will forget the warmth he gave
You forget the light
Haste! Lest while your lagging
I remember him
Heart we will forget him
You and I tonight.
