ViperVegeta: Oh, oh my goodness do I feel bad. It's been what, several months since I last posted for this story? (hides behind chair) Please don't hurt me! I want you to still be reading this story, please don't give up on me because I haven't posted!

Aseret Kitsune: Here's the new chappie! Once again, my apologies for the wait!

Moonlight-6056: I'm hoping to be able to play on people's sympathies even more! But we all love our Vegeta! grin And BTW, everything is now finally ok!

Anorake: Whew! Hey, you like Vampires? Cool! I like them too! (well duh, otherwise i would have written about him turning into a chihuahua wouldn't I!)

Star-Shimmered-Dragon: Chibi's behiving now, thanks for your advice on controlling him! Here's the new chappie!

Raccly: I'm not totally good at doing straight-type relationships, my apologies! I can try it for you, fi you want me to, but I'm a SemeGoku-UkeVegeta girl! yay uke Vegeta! grin BTW, it's ok if you're a nerd. I am too! I've read hundreds of fics, and i've become so obsessed that I turned my anime-hating little sister into a fanfic writer! She's trying her hand/keyboard at a Mild fanfic right now, and it just might get posted under my name! It's going to be a Goku/Vegeta fic (thank Goodness she's an UkeVegeta fan too!)

Cate: Thank you for the tips. This was mostly written while I was learning to write my own stories, so it won't always be great. My later fics are much more developed, I've (non-egotistic) become a better writer since I began this story, so I hope the next few chapters are better-written than the first few were!

Note to EVERYONE from Viper-Vegeta: I've finished drafting this story! It's most definitely set to be at least twenty chapters long! I won't hold out on you anymore, faithful readers!

Chapter 4.

Within two weeks Bulma had come up with a formula for the material that she wanted, and she had it made into a bodysuit that was very similar to the one Vegeta had been wearing when he had first come to Earth.

"It is actually rather comfortable." He said when he had put it on. "But will it work?"

"That's why it's just you and me in here, Vegeta. In case it doesn't," Bulma replied. She had gotten the helper-droids to clear out a large space in her lab, now that the fabric was ready to be tested. "Now, can you control how far you change?"

"Yes. It is rather easy, actually."

"Then try not to go too far the first time, ok?" Bulma cautioned, and Vegeta rolled his eyes, then closed them in concentration. Bulma stepped back, and after a moment the wings exploded from his back and the top part of the bodysuit was shredded, but it quickly 're-grew' into its original shape, leaving two slits in the back for the wings to poke through. Bulma squealed in fright -she hadn't seen him change yet- but Vegeta stopped there, and opened his eyes.

"What?" He asked, then looked at the wings and smirked. He rose into the air, then folded the wings along his back like a bat, but he still had to stay 10 feet off the ground, and the tips of his wings brushed the floor.

"Oh my goodness, they're huge!" Bulma exclaimed, then she started writing notes on a clipboard, and Vegeta folded his arms across his chest and frowned.

"Now what?" He asked her.

"Hang on…" Bulma muttered, still writing. "Ok, can you go back to normal from there?"

"Hmmm." Vegeta concentrated for a moment, then the wings shrank back into his back. Bulma winced, than he landed and she walked forward to see what the material was doing. The slits re-grew together, and after a few moments it was as if nothing had happened to it. Bulma smiled as she recorded the results, and Vegeta was admittedly surprised.

"Now, will you transform all the way?" Bulma asked and Vegeta nodded, so she stepped back and he rose into the air again, then started the transformation. First the wings reappeared, then the tail as his skin changed color, and then his body and muscles grew until he was 10 feet tall again as the claws reappeared. The bodysuit was completely destroyed by this stage. The last thing to change was his skull, his jaws growing longer and his teeth lengthening as well, and his eyes turned turquoise as his hair and ears changed. He found that he could fly without needing to move his wings, but he couldn't use ki-attacks in this form, and he hovered for a moment, folded his wings along his back again, then landed with a thud and crouched. Bulma just stared at him, wide-eyed for a moment, then she walked forward to see him better. "Vegeta, can you talk at all?" She asked, and he shook his head from side to side slowly. "Oh. Ok, then." Bulma started writing again as she went back to where she had been, then turned and smiled. "Ok, you can turn back now." She said, and he did so. Starting with his body, he shrank as his skin returned to normal and the shape of his skull returned. The material worked better than before, regenerating so fast that it did not seem as though anything had happened to it, or him. Bulma almost whooped in triumph, but didn't, and Vegeta smiled to himself.

"I have to admit, this is excellent material, Woman." He said as he walked over to her, smiling, then he kissed her when he reached her. "Very nice indeed."

"Thank-you." Bulma laughed, then Vegeta stepped back from her.

"You will have to make me quite a few of these." He said, and Bulma nodded.

"Yes, you're right. You will probably have to wear one under all of your clothes from now on, so you will need some more. Keep that one on for now, I've got some spare material that I can make them from, but you will have to take a capsule of spare clothes with you to put on when you change back." Bulma said, and Vegeta put on the shirt and jeans that he had brought with him over the bodysuit.

"Make some of them short-sleeved, ok?" He asked, and Bulma made a few more notes on her clipboard. "I am going to go and spar with Kakarrot, that way I can get used to fighting in that form." Vegeta said as he left the lab, and Bulma smiled.

"Tell me what it's like after you change back, because I need to know what it'll do after you've been fighting for a while. It might shrink, or change color or something, ok?" Bulma called out before the door had shut, then activated the helper-droids to clean up the lab and put everything back where it was supposed to be. Meanwhile, Vegeta had flown very fast, and was almost at Goku's home within a minute. He found Goku sitting outside in the sun, smiling as he watched Trunks and Goten spar not far away, and Vegeta landed near him to watch for a few moments also.

"They're getting better, aren't they?" Goku said, and Vegeta smirked as Trunks pounded Goten into the dirt.

"Bulma developed some sort of fabric that regenerates itself when I change back from the Terynn form." Vegeta said, and Goku smiled as Goten knocked Trunks into a tree.

"Can I try and fight you like that again? It could be an interesting experience if you are in control." Goku said, looking at Vegeta with one eyebrow raised, and Vegeta smiled.

"Ok, then." They flew away from the house to a small clearing near the edge of the woods, and Vegeta removed his jacket and pants, leaving the bodysuit visible, then started the change as Goku powered up to Super Saiyan 2. Within a few moments the fight was raging, and Goku found that Vegeta's speed was almost an even match for his own at that level.

""""Vegeta, you've got speed on your side in this form, despite how big you are."""" Goku telepathed to him, nearly getting clawed.

""""And for once you have the advantage in being shorter that your opponent, Kakarrot."""" Vegeta remarked, then knocked Goku to the ground with his tail, leaving a large trench in the dirt. Their fight was sending small tremors through the ground, and soon Trunks and Goten had stopped their spar to watch them.

""""Can you hear normally, Vegeta?"""" Goku asked as he threw some ki-balls at Vegeta.

""""Yes I can, Kakarrot. I just can't talk. This body was not designed for verbal communication."""" Vegeta snapped his mouth shut near Goku, and nearly impaled him with his teeth.

""""Hey! Watch it, Vegeta!"""" Goku exclaimed, then started gathering energy in his hands. Vegeta did not try to dodge the Kamehameha Wave, instead he wrapped his wings around his top half and crouched so they created a shield around him. Goku poured as much energy as he could into the attack, but when he stopped Vegeta had a small, smoking burn on his wings, and that was it. Goku hadn't even put a hole in them.

"Holy crap!" Trunks exclaimed from the sidelines, and Goten echoed him.

""""We've got an audience!"""" Goku telepathed, and Vegeta moved his wings aside to look at the boys.

"That is so cool! You didn't even have to dodge him, Dad!" Trunks called out, and Vegeta turned his attention back to Goku just in time to duck away from a kick. He stood upright and swung out with his claws, hitting Goku in the chest and pinning him to the ground. He hadn't cut him though, and though Goku tried to get out from underneath his claws, it proved impossible to do.

""""Vegeta, let go!"""" Goku said into his mind, and Vegeta lifted the massive claw off him, then started the change back to normal. The material worked as well as it had the first time, 'growing' back into it's original shape as quickly as before, and when Vegeta did not 'ungrow' his wings immediately the material compensated again, creating two slits for them to poke through. Finally he let them shrink and disappear, and the slits in the material disappeared also. When he was properly redressed he walked over to Trunks and smacked him on the back of the head.

"I thought I told you not to speak like that?" He growled. "Just because I do sometimes it doesn't mean you are allowed to."

"What do you mean 'sometimes', Vegeta?" Goku remarked, and Vegeta turned to him with a smirk and started another spar.
