I know the last chapter was really short and kinda rushed. I'm sorry. I'll try to prolong this one slightly. Anyway: Here you go:

It was exactly 6:00 when Goku arrived. He had nothing packed but a few changes of clothes and like 100 bottles of water. Bulma, on the other hand, had an encapsulated house, a lifetime supply of food (also encapsulated) so it would last them about a week, and dragonball radar.
"Hey Goku! I was wondering how we are going to be getting around. Maybe a hover car, personal airplanes, what?"
"Bulma. Did you forget the dragonballs would repel anything electronic?"
"Oh damn. Your right I did forget. So much for the radar." She sighed tossing it on the couch.
"I'll have to fly us." He said.
"Ok." She said grabbing their stuff. "Here. You'll have to put it on if your going to carry me."
"Hn." He replied putting it on.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
It was about noon when Goku's stomach grumbling became too much. "Goku? Let's stop and get you some food okay?"
"Yes" he squealed almost dropping her. Just as she was about to slip through his arms, he tightened his grip. "Sorry."
"Hai" she said wrapping her arms around his torso trying to keep a firm hold.
They landed in a clearing within minutes. Bulma let out the encapsulated house with a big 'poof'.
"So, where's the food?" asked Goku.
Bulma walked over to the backpack and opened it to reveal about 70 capsules. "Each white Capsule has your food. They are all filled with atleast one entire meal. That should fill you up until dinner. The blue ones are mine. That's why they are much smaller. Just leave those. Oh and Goku. You might want to go into a very, very big clearing before you open those capsules. There's a lot in there. I'll be in my room taking a nap. Come get me if you need anything." She said as she walked into the big house.
Goku found a big clearing and opened a capsule. There was so much food, he decided to use his ki shield to guard it incase any animals came hungry. But he left one plate out for them.
Was he was done devouring his food, he took the capsule and put it in the sink (I don't know what he should do with it). He then proceeded to find Bulma. He entered the room. It looked like she was having a nightmare. She was tossing and turning with beads of sweat on her face.
"Vegeta. Vegeta please don't leave me," she cried out in a whisper. "Vegeta please. I need you. I love you. You can't just abandon me!"
"Bulma?" asked Goku as he tried to wake her.
Bulma shot up and looked around the room frantically. "Oh Goku. It was horrible. Why did he leave me? Why?" she cried carelessly into his shoulder.
"Its okay Bulma. Just let it all out."
In a few minutes she was asleep again. He laid her back down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He proceeded to the bedroom next to hers and decided he needed a nap as well. That's when he noticed the note on the nightstand,
Goku,
I know Goku dear you need your training what with the androids on their way over. I knew that you would need as much time as possible so I implanted a gravity room where the attic used to be. Its not as strong as the one that Bulma gave you at your house because it would have been too strong for the house to bear but it goes up to about 800 times earth gravity. I've been told that so far you've only been up to 600 so that shouldn't be a problem.
Listen. Bulma has been having nightmares lately and always wakes up in the middle of the night. She is scared to be alone. Please comfort her. WE would be most thankful. She is going through a difficult time.
I have been reading up on saiyin mating customs and apparently Bulma and Vegeta are mated. That bite on her neck signifies that. But they are not completely mated because she never bit him back. It seems as though Bulma is dying. She and vegeta are connected spiritually through this bond. The fact that he died is slowly killing her. It is just a saiyin's way of ensuring the mates stay together for all eternity. But I can't let this happen because then Bulma will be sent to hell along with vegeta unless he somehow found his way to heaven. Yeah right. Anyway, I really need you to be there for her. She doesn't know this. So, please find the dragonballs quickly. According to my extensive research, she only has about a week to live. I am sorry I am putting this load on you but I know what you are capable of. Please help her.
Thank you in advance.
Dr.Briefs
'Oh my goodness. Bulma is dying? No wonder she looks so sickly and pale. She's also lost a lot of weight and its not like she's on a diet. Oh Kami why her?' Goku pondered as he went out go get her.
He lifted the sleeping beauty into his arms and encapsulated everything. He put the capsules into the backpack, put it on and took off. He wanted to find the dragonballs as soon as possible. By about dinnertime he had found about three. He was planning on heading out to find the fourth when he began to worry about Bulma. She hadn't awoken since they left home. 'Maybe Dr. Briefs was wrong! Maybe she's dead already! Oh Kami!' Goku flew back to the clearing as quickly as possible.
He opened the backpack and took out the capsule. He let out the house and quickly rushed her into her room. He laid her on her bed and went to the bathroom for a wet washrag. He returned with it a few seconds later and began dabbing her forehead gently. She was burning up. 'Damn! What the hell do I do?' he asked himself as he noticed she wasn't cooling down. Then he remember what he had seen Chichi do to Gohan when he had that deadly fever last year. She put him in a tub of ice.
He ran to the kitchen, got all the ice he could and dumped it into the tub. Once it was full, he got bulma, stripped her and put her in. He sat there feeling her forehead for a fever every once in a while. It was going down. He walked over to the closet to get a big towel to wrap her up in.
When he came back her lips were blue. He felt her forehead. She was freezing! He took her out, wrapped her in a towel and took her back to the room. He turned up the heat as far as it would go. Although he was sweating profusely (a lot) he knew it would help her warm up in not time. Finally, about five minutes later, she was back to a normal temperature. He decided he should get her dressed. He went over to her dresser. He looked in her drawer and got her some panties and a bra to begin with. He put them on her trying not to stare for too long. He knew Chichi would kill him if she knew he was taking his time just for his own pleasures. He went back and found a nice pink shirt and a white skirt. He put them on her as well. Then, he went back over to the heater and turned it down.
He laid down next to her checking her temperature every now and then. "You know Bulma, you gave me a big scare just now. But it's not your fault. Its Vegeta's. He marked you. I bet you didn't even research it did you. I bet you just thought it was a saiyin thing and boy do I wish it were. It's killing you bulma. I just wish you could notice that." He whispered through tears. His best friend since childhood was dying and there was nothing he could do to stop it but get the dragonballs. But how could he search for them with her like this. He couldn't leave her and go get them but then bringing her posed as an even greater risk because if something happened, they wouldn't have any resources available. He would have to take time to find a clearing and UN-encapsulate everything and get her in and blah blah blah. There wouldn't be enough time. This time they were lucky she wasn't burning up until they got into the house or else she might have died.
Just then, Bulma instinctively wrapped her arms around Goku and whispered. "Mm... Vegeta" Goku was going to push her off but decided to just let her. 'Chichi will understand. And besides, I think Bulma just needs to have someone there to hold.'

The next two days were quite rough with Bulma going in and out of consciousness. Luckily, her temperature seemed stable enough. Goku managed to get three more dragonballs but the seventh one was yet to be found.
"Goku!" Bulma yelled from outside. He rushed out to find her backed up against a tree by a rattlesnake. "Goku help me!" she whined
Goku formed a ki blast and shot the snake into two pieces. Slowly, they disintegrated as well.
"I didn't mean kill the poor thing. I just meant get him away from me." She said as she watched it die slowly.
"Sorry B." he said regretfully.
"Oh well. Now, I was thinking maybe today we could go get the last dragonball so that way I could be home for my mom's birthday party. We were planning on getting everyone over to our house for a surprise party."
"Okay. Let's see. You still have about 6 hours before you go out (out of consciousness) again so lets just go right now.
"Yeah. I don't know what's wrong with me. Dad says to just keep drinking plenty of fluids. I saw a doctor and he says I am perfectly fine. I think its just depression. I've heard that happens to lots of people," she said sadly. "Anyway, lets go. Just leave everything out here. I'll out up the shield she said as she waked over to the house main box and typed in a few codes.
Goku wrapped a safe arm around her and took off to the air. "According to my memory, the next one should be about 80 miles south." Said Bulma.
"Hai."
In no less then 10 minutes, they arrived at a small cave on a mountain. They touched ground. "Are you sure is exactly 80 miles south?" she asked inching closer to the cave.
"Positive." He said as they entered the cave quietly.
"Can you feel that?" she asked in a hoarse whisper
"Yeah." He stated.
They walked for miles in that cave until they finally found the last Dragonball.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Encapsulate it" Bulma, said hastily. She didn't like this cave. In a matter of moments the dragonball was encapsulated and they were on their way out.
"Goku stop stepping so hard your making the cave rumble a little" she whispered.
"But Bulma. I'm floating."
They both turned around to come face to face with a bear.
"Ahh!" Bulma screamed as the bear swung at her (not like a punch but like... oh just use your imagination). She had just barely dodged it. Goku grabbed her and transported them out of the cave as quickly as possible. Before Bulma realized what had just happened, They were back home.
"Wow." Said Bulma as she headed to the bathroom for some Advil. She had a pounding headache.
"Hey Bulma!" Goku yelled as she was heading over to the kitchen. Instead, she walked outside to see him setting up the dragonballs. "Maybe we could just wish him back now so we could get home."
"Okay!" yelled Bulma as she stood in the center to the balls. (They were set up in a circle) There was a strong rush of wind as what looked like a hurricane formed around Bulma. Goku just stood there watching.
"Hello again Shenlong." Bulma greeted.
"Ah. Miss bulma. It has been too long."
"Yes it has. Anyway, I need to use my three wishes for this year"
"What are they?"
"I wish Vegeta was brought back the way he was right before the GR explosion. Tail and everything but with the memories he has accumulated up to this date," She said to him. "As my second wish, actually, never mind. I'll save them for next time I need you."
"Ahh but miss bulma. If you do not make those wishes, The seven dragonballs will not be returned to their homes but instead will stay with you. It is with great responsibility that you must take care of them."
"I will."
"I know you will for you have deemed yourself most worthy in my opinion but see I know your hearts deepest desire. I know what it is that you truly wish."
"What is that?"
"You wish to be reborn however it is that the Saiyin No Ouji wishes you to be."
"You're right but only if he truly loves me. I wish that if Vegeta truly loves me, I will be reborn into a saiyin."
"And your third wish will be saved for later?" he asked her in his big booming voice.
"No. I will give up my wish for there is nothing more that I want."
"Good bye miss Bulma." He said.
"Good Bye Shenlong. I'll see you next year I hope."
"Hai. Your wishes have been granted." Was all he said before the hurricane dies down. Suddenly, all seven balls flew off in separate directions.
"Bulma. Why did you give up your third wish?"
"Cause there is nothing more that I want than to be with my Vegeta. Now he is going to be back with my family. Oh my gosh. I think that's Vegeta being brought back." She said as she saw a bright light emitting from a man with spiky hair. He fell to the floor. Bulma rushed over to him. He slowly opened his eyes.
"What the fuck?"
"Oh Vegeta. You're back!" she yelled as she hugged him tightly. She felt something poking at her side. That's when she noticed he was naked. "We should get you some clothes."
"But I was dead. How the-" he said as he paused for a moment. "Dragonballs?" he asked wearily.
"Hai." Stated Goku trying not to burst out in a fit of laughter.
"Here." Said bulma as she returned with some clothes from Goku's closet. Vegeta hurriedly. Suddenly, Bulma began to feel a strong pain from her backside just above her ass. She screamed out with tears falling down the side of her face. She was growing a tail! In a few minutes, it was fully-grown. It was amazing. It was the same beautiful sea blue color of her hair. It was long and silky. They all stared at it with amazement. Bulma rushed over to Vegeta and gave him a big hug. "I love you too."
"What?" he asked backing up.
"I wished to become saiyin only if you truly loved me. And did. You don't have to say it. Although you already did."
"What? When?"
"Right before you died. I said, ""I'm sorry I blew up when you said you didn't love me. I knew before that it wasn't possible. I guess I was just hoping I could somehow change that."" Then you said, ""You did. I love you Bulma."" Then you died."
"You must have been hallucinating that."
"Okay Vegeta. Whatever you say."
"Come on. Let's encapsulate everything. I wanna get home." Said Goku.
"Okay." Replied Bulma as she put everything into capsules. "Hey Vegeta. Come on."
"I...I'm gonna just stay here for a while. You go ahead."
"Okay." She said. She turned and walked over to Goku. "When we get home, Your going to show me how to fly and shoot ki blasts okay."
"Hai." He said as he took off to the air.
Bulma looked back at the island. 'I love you Vegeta.' She thought.
'I love you too.' Said Vegeta telepathically.
Bulma smiled. Things were going to be different, but this change was going to be for the better. It really was.
