Thanks for the reviews!!
ccfleursdelys: Yeah I'll be adding the song 'My Immortal' from Evanescence. In future chapters.
Chapter ThreeDoor open, wide-open, calling, "You're free! Why are you just standing there? Run! This is your chance!"
But she stood there, rubbing her wrists, staring out that door, into the light like a deer in headlights; stupefied.
Everything was calling for her. "Leave! Go! You've spent too much time in here! Who cares that he's going to get you? The icejins musta made him crazy too! You're an Orgathan!! You can hide from him! Run!"
She walked up and out of the dungeon, slowly going up the stone winding steps as if in a dream.
Vegeta must have made it an order because the guards stood straighter and saluted at her as she passed.
She walked past them, cautiously, not completely trusting them. At the moment, she didn't know who to trust.
A tall man with dark hair spiked in five different directions was sitting on a bench but when she came out he jumped up and grinned at her, having a grin of a child. "Hi, I'm Karkarot. But you can call me Goku." He grinned wider. "Almost everyone does except Vegeta."
Bulma looked at him cautiously and said slowly, "Hi Goku."
"Who are you? Where do you come from?" He jumped up and down, giddily, again like a child.
She stared. She never saw a man around his age (probably around Vegeta's) act at least 15 years younger than he actually was. "I'm Bulma," She said slowly. "I come from the land of Orga."
"Orga huh? People say they're the worst people on the planet but I think you guys are really cool."
She watched him, trying to make sure about this. He grinned. "Want me to show ya around the place?"
Bulma shrugged. "Why not?"
As soon as she found an exit and Goku wasn't looking BAM she was out of there.
---(Back at Orga)---
"I can't believe," Chi Chi began, "That they have the entire search and find rescue team out there and they still can find her!" She slammed her fist into the plaster wall to prove her anger, making a dent in it. "I'm just about ready to go out and look for her myself."
Juu sighed. "Most of the team's working at the site where Vegeta attacked. That's where Bulma took the Fruit and ran. Afterall, she was the priestess' apprentice, under her mother's suggestion for magic."
There was silence. Chi Chi put two and two together.
"You don't think… she ate it do you?" Chi Chi asked in bewilderment.
Juu angrily shook her head, blond hair flipping from side to side. "No way! Bulma's way smarter than that. She's probably hitching a ride back home right now."
She acted satisfied with her answer but the question hung in the air.
"I'm hungry aren't you?" Juu asked quickly.
"Yeah, I am." Chi Chi answered back and they took off, trying to get rid of the thought in their minds.
---(At the palace)---
"No way… I'm in a palace?!?!"
Goku looked puzzled. "I thought that was obvious. Vegeta's a prince and all…"
Bulma narrowed her eyes. "I thought that he was an exile::!" (A/N Once again, scroll down the the bottom of the page to see what the word means.)
Goku shrugged. "He was the only heir left when the king died. And in the country only men rule so the Queen is only temporarily."
Bulma rolled her eyes. "Exact opposite over at my place." Goku shook his head, grinning, but continued. "This is where the pool is, where everyone swims." He gestured his hand towards the pool, it's turquoise waters reflecting the sky. People with tails jumped into the water, laughing.
"Wow… you guys seem almost… well… normal." Bulma said.
Goku shrugged. "Even though most of us are bloodthirsty, we have our pleasures."
"Where is Prince Ego anyway?"
"Oh Vegeta?" Goku scratched his head. "He must be trying to choose a wife with his mother right now."
"What do you mean 'choose a wife'?"
Goku patiently tried to explain. "He has to choose a wife in order to rule. That's why the Queen is ruling for the moment. In other words she wants Vegeta happily married."
"Oh. Where's the throne room?"
---(In the throne room)---
"I'm like totally the prettiest girl in the kingdom so like I'll make the best and totally cool wife? Did I mention I was pretty? 'Cause I am! I'm the prettiest girl in the entire kingdom! You should know that!"
The girl gave a laugh resembling part pig and part moose. Her name was like Cynthia something-or-other. She had a pointy long nose with a hairy mole at the end of it and freckles splattered all over it. A black colored bush stuck out at the top of her head that had various things in it, like pencils and wads of paper, not to mention a bird's nest nestled on top looking like it belonged there. (And the bird was still on it too with the eggs.)
Vegeta scowled and said, "No."
With that said she was dragged out of the room sputtering, "but, but, but…"
Vegeta glanced at his mother. "It's hopeless, mother."
His mother ignored him and called a near by servant. "Why are you just standing there? Get the next one!"
Vegeta cleared his throat. "Mother," He said, loudly, "It's hopeless."
His mother sighed. "Well of course it's hopeless if you're so picky about it. Not like the perfect woman is going to fall out of the sky."
At that moment the doors slammed open. Goku was standing there with the Orgathan at his side.
"Oh so this is the throne room." She said, looking around, taking in the extravagance around her. Vegeta stared.
"I'm sorry, Queen for the disturbance." Goku apologized to the Queen. "No matter." She leaned forward in her chair and squinted her onyx eyes to look at the Orgathan. Then she gasped. "B-bulma?"
Bulma looked at the older lady. She looked somewhat like Vegeta, black hair, onyx eyes, elegant figure and a soft smile. Well, except the smile she looked like Vegeta.
"Do I know you…?" Bulma said, slowly.
Vegeta averted his gaze to the ground.
The Queen looked flabbergasted. (A/N: Ha! I always loved that word!) "Of course you do! At least I hope so."
When Bulma shook her head the Queen sighed. "Well, it has been a long time." The Queen put on a friendly smile, "Your mother and I were almost like sisters, and you were just like the daughter I never had. It almost made me forget the son who is just impossible to deal with." At this she glared at her son and he put on a blank face like he didn't know what his mother was talking about.
---(Out of the room)---
Goku shut the double doors behind him and ushered Bulma down the hall. "That's the training room." He glanced in to make sure it was empty andbounced in with Bulmatrailing. "This is where you get all your anger out if you're mad." He looked around. "I'm surprised it's empty at thishour. Usually Vegeta comes in here."He chuckled. "Of course he hasto pick a wife."
Goku lead her towards the controls which her eyes widened. "I'm guessing you like science. I hate it personally but... these are the controls. I think thatbutton's to close the doors... but usually I don't do the controls so I guess you're smart enough tofigure it out. Nobody trusts mewith pressingbuttons anyway."
Bulma laughed. "I remember younow. You're that one kid that Vegetaalways hung around."
---(Flashback)---
"Karkarot! The ship's about to explode!Press the button already!"Vegetayelled from the pilot's seat.
Goku looked confused and looked at thecomputer. "Which button?"
"The red button, baka!"
Bulma, sittingin the seatnext toVegeta, screamed and covered her face.
"Umm... there's three red buttons..." Goku said afterscanning up and down the panal.
"The big fat red button, baka! Press it already!"
"Oh you mean this one?" He pressed hisindexfinger ona random button and the ship let out a sputteringsound and gave a sudden lurch making Bulma scream again.
"No baka!" Vegetaslammed his fist on theauto pilotand staggered back to the confusedteen."We're going to die and you're fooling around!"Heyelled,slamming his fiston the correct button.
---(End Flashback)---
"We spent 3 monthes in the wilderness because of you."Bulma said, grinning.
Goku scratched his head and said, "Well there were3red buttons."
Bulma laughed, shaking her head as they walked out of the training room.
---(A few hours later)---
Bulma looked around her room. "I can't live in here!" She complained and Vegeta looked annoyed. "What now? You always have something to complain about don't you?" Bulma shot him an angry look.
"I can't live in here, it's too good for someone like… me…"
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "I know a lot of people who would jump at the chance of having a room this extravagant and across from my personal quaters." He looked smug at that.
"Then give the room to someone who deserves it." She snapped at him.
"What do you want, the servants' hall?" He looked like he was joking but Bulma said, "That would be fine."
"My mother would kill me if I sent for you to live in the servants hall!"
Bulma smirked. "Or are you just looking for an excuse for me to be closer to your room?"
Vegeta ignored her and said, "You are staying in this room whether you'd like it or not." He walked towards the door then stopped. "I can't have the power of immortality slip through my fingers now can I?" He chuckled, then slammed the door behind him.
Bulma threw a pillow at the door then slumped against the wall. "F-ck him." She fumed.
A/N: Okay! There's chapter 3.
It was kinda cheesy but OH WELL.
