this is going back a bit to where Bulma first left her house and her dad finds out.
time moves a lot faster on Planet Vegeta, and the space pods are a lot more advanced than the ones in DBZ.
Chapter 4: Missing
This is from chapter one, when Bulma decides she really wants to go to Planet Vegeta and although she promised her father that she would choose another planet, well you know teens they do as they please and so does Bulma.
As the sunshine rose through the King's curtains he thought of the dream he had the night before, when Bulma was still a little girl and wanted to do everything and go everywhere. He thought to himself that's kinda how she is now, he said with a smile. But at the very least he still had some authority over his child, "Well I did stop her from going to Planet Vegeta!" he said. "That should count for something." chuckling he through the covers off his bed and made his way to the cappuccino maker that he had installed in his room.
"Damn" he said aloud and pushed a small button which was a signal for a maid to come into his room for assistance. Not ten seconds later a maid stepped in his room, "You rang, your highness." she said with a smile, King Brief looked over at her and smiled back. "Oh hello Mariani, could you get me some more sugar packets. I seemed to be out." she smiled "Of course your highness I'll get right on that!" she bowed and was about to leave before King Brief stopped her. "Oh and Mariani, could you wake my daughter Bulma I want her to come into my room for a moment." said the King. "Of course your majesty." with that Mariani left the room and King Brief looked at a magazine for Planet Foro, it had sunny beaches, and beautiful weather. Just perfect for Bulma to start her training. The King thought about how it was possible that maybe Bulma could meet a man there and maybe give him some more grandchildren. He thought about it for awhile til Mariani walked back to his room, he expected to see Bulma at her side rubbing the sleep out of her eye's asking him questions like what daddy? Or what could you want at this hour? Instead it was just Mariani smiling and walking over to him "Here's your sugar that you asked for your highness." King Brief took it and looked at Mariani "Where's Bulma?" Mariani stood there and than remember. "Oh, your Majesty miss Bulma wasn't in her bedroom, I knocked three times but there was no answer. So I opened the door and noticed there was no one in the room." She bowed and left the room.
King Brief stood still for a second, weird he thought. "Well I guess she went for a walk or went to think about what Planet to go to. Oh well she'll agree with me on Planet Foro anyway." he put the sugar in his drink and began to mix it, and thought this is really good.
After his drink he got dressed and asked the maid to have Bulma come up to his sitting room, it was about 12:30 so he figured she would have been back ages ago. But the maid returned with the same answer, "I'm sorry but Bulma's not in the house, sir!" the King thought to himself, well where the devil is that girl? A white shock spread across his face. "No she wouldn't have" the King ran up to Bulma's room and looked in here closet. "She did! She went to Planet Vegeta without my permission!"
