The dark side of the world

Bulma was interested to see the world outside her window. She went with Raditz to the outer limits of the city. Bulma was happy to see all the nice people who reached out to her from outside her window. Bulma smiled as she continued walking. Raditz turned back to Bulma. " Be careful…. We are entering the bad side of town."

Bulma nodded. "I understand."

The two walked until the smell started getting bad. Bulma waved her hand in front of her face. " What is that smell?"

" That is the smell of the bad part of planet."

" That's gross… people actually live here?"

" They do…"

" But why? If it so bad.. then why do they stay here?"

" This is the only place for them to live…."

" Is that so… that's just sad."

Raditz looked away from Bulma. " There just isn't anything we can do."

" I will try my best to help them."

Raditz felt good about Bulma wanting to help his people. ' She will make a good queen…however I don't need to recognize it the prince does.'

Bulma looked at Raditz. "Do you think I will end up in a place like this?"

Raditz looked over at Bulma. "I doubt you will…. Are you smart?"

" I'm a genius… one of the smartest minds on our home world."

" Then no… you won't have to stay in a place like this."

Bulma sighed very relieved that something like this wasn't going to happen to her. " What can I do for them?"

Raditz looked rather shocked. " What do you mean? You… think you can fix all this?"

" If I knew what is wrong… of course."

" They have no homes…. They have little food… they have nothing to really call their own. People fight for what they have. It can be theirs one day and then someone else's another."

" I see… I learned something like this when I was growing up… I think I can help them if I can get supplies from my home world."

Raditz didn't know what to think when Bulma said this. " You have things that can fix this?"

"Oh yeah… sure do…. Just give me a list of everything you need and I should be able to get it."

" I shall bring this up at the next meeting for our people."

" May I attend?" Bulma asked.

" You are a foreigner… The king will not permit this…. Only strong beings from other worlds have managed to get into the conference rooms."

Bulma bowed her head in defeat. " I guess…. Can you…"

Raditz smiled. " No need to say more… I will bring it up."

" Thanks very much."

Raditz looked up at the sky. " Oh dear… its time for the meeting…. If you excuse me." Raditz walked off to the meeting place.

The meeting room was full of chairs. King Vegeta was sitting at the head of the table next to his son and loyal advisor Zorn. The rest of the chairs were for upper level scientists and guards. Raditz seat across from his father. King Vegeta stood up. " Lets begin this meeting… what is the first subject for discussion."

Bardock cleared his throat. " That would be the peoples requests sire."

King Vegeta huffed at the idea. " Why bother bring that up… there is nothing that can be done. You and others have failed several times to come up with medicines to stop certain inflections that the tank can not fix."

Raditz stood up. " My king… I have a suggestion. That woman that came from that planet… she and her people have stuff that we are lacking."

Prince Vegeta sighed. " That wretch… she has nothing that we need."

" Hear me out sire." Vegeta sat back in his chair. He sighed trying not to listen to a world anyone said. If one thing bored the prince most it was these meetings. Raditz turned to back door. Bulma opened the door and walked into the conference room.

She bowed respectively. " Greetings gentlemen." She walked over. " May I sit down?" She asked.

The king gestured for her to sit. Bulma nodded her head and sat down.

" So what is this I hear about you people having things we do not?"

Bulma smiled. " My whole family owns a large business that manufactures items such as houses and what not. Our world also has plenty of foods and medications… I am willing to give my help to you all…"

" In exchange for what?" The king asked.

Bulma looked rather surprised. " I really don't want anything…"

" Nothing? You want nothing?"

" Just respect. I don't want to be treated differently just because I'm not the same as you sir."

" Very well… do you have a job on your world my dear?"

" I am a genius.. I love to tinker with things to make stuff…"

" I see… Bardock would love to have another assistant."

Bardock nodded. " Yes sire… I would… thank you very much."

Bulma smiled. " I would love to help you Bardock…."

" One question… how will you get these items here?"

" Do you have some sort of telecommunication device to reach other worlds."

" Indeed we do…"

" Good… I will ask my dad to send Goku with the supplies."

King Vegeta nodded. " Do so at once."

Vegeta stood up and left the room. Bulma looked at King Vegeta. " What was that about?"

" My son has never liked politics."

Bulma smiled. " Neither have I…" She bowed and walked out the door.

Vegeta was looking out the near by window. " You…"

"My name is Bulma… B.u.l.m.a… Bulma!"

"Whatever…. Just telling you… take it easy. Got it!"

Bulma nodded. " Don't worry about me…I'll be fine."

" That baby is going to take a lot of strain out of you."

"I understand… don't worry…."

" Good… go make you call."

" I don't know where to go."

Vegeta sighed. " Come with me." Bulma nodded. They walked down the corridor. They walked to the communication room. Bulma contacted her father.

Yamcha was standing there as the phone rang. "BULMA! Oh thank god its you." He saw Vegeta near her.

" YOU! Son of a bitch… bring her back."

Bulma shook her head. " I'm not coming home Yamcha… I'm sorry… listen… I gotta talk to my dad…"

Yamcha growled as he called Mr. Brief to the phone. Mister Brief came over. " Yes dear?"

" Dad… we need some supplies…"

" Like what dear?"

" Lets see here…. " Bulma read off the list.

Dr. Brief was a bit shocked. " Bulma.. isn't that a bit much?"

" Please dad… they really need this stuff… do you think you can spare it…"

" You know I can't deny you… I'll sent them over."

" Could you send Goku dad?"

" What about me!" Yamcha shouted.

" I said Goku you jerk!" Bulma shouted.

" Will do…."

" Thanks dad…" Bulma hung up. She turned back to Vegeta. " You world will get better soon."

Vegeta just humphed and walked away. Bulma sighed. ' I hope I can make this a better world…'
