Before I mention anything else, I must stress that this is my
first DBZ romance fic. I've read enough to get an idea of what
the characters are like and so forth. However, I want everyone
to understand this is my first V&B fic and I haven't written
any. Please be kind when reviewing.
Author's Note: This is loosely based on the movie "Ever After." When I say loose, I mean it. Some things will be similar, but not quite. Some characters might be OOC. So just sit back and enjoy! ^_^ And oh yea, read and review. You know the drill.
Disclaimer: What funny disclaimer can I write? Hmm...Let's see, I don't look anything like the creator, I'm not from Japan. And I'm not even smart enough to come up with a show like DBZ...so no I don't think I own DBZ. But if Veggie-chan is on sale, I'd be happy to buy him. Is umm *counts money* $8 sound enough? *crickets chirping* Guess not....
The Heart of a Prince By Kasumi Yawa
"Bulma! Lady Bulma!" A voice called.
A small sigh came from the young 8-year old girl as she continued fidgeting with her trinket.
"Bulma!" The voice got louder.
"I am in here!" Bulma answered. Suddenly, Paulette, Bulma's Governess appeared, looking stern.
"Dear child! Your father will be here any moment, and you're not even dressed properly and are still playing with that toy!" Paulette scowled.
Bulma looked at her strangely.
"Toy! Paulette this will one day revolutionalize the world!" Bulma exclaimed.
"So be it, but you must get ready. Come with me."
Bulma looked at her invention and sighed in defeat. She followed Paulette into her bedchambers. Marie, her other governess stood looking at several dresses. Marie smiled as Bulma entered the room.
"How about this one child?" Marie asked lifting a pretty dress. Bulma nodded. Today was the day her father would return...with a new wife. From what she was told, her new stepmother had two daughters, who would be Bulma's new stepsisters. Bulma was anxious to see what they were like, since she was raised on her own, without any siblings or mother. A tapping came from the window and Bulma ran to see what it was. It was her friend, Krillen. Krillen was shocked to see Bulma all dressed up!
"What are you staring at?" Bulma asked.
"At you! You look like a girl!" Krillen answered, with a smirk on his face.
"That's because I am a girl, you half-wit!"
"Yes, but today you look it!" Krillen called back. And with that he began to run. Bulma ran out the room to catch up to him.
She chased him until she caught up to him...
Back at the manor, all the workers stood in a straight line awaiting the arrival of their master. Suddenly, he arrived, riding a horse, followed by a carriage that held the mysterious passengers.
When their master finally arrived to the door, he was greeted by his employees and looked around for his daughter. He turned toward the carriage and silently the passengers got out.
The first was a lovely dark haired girl, followed by a green haired girl. They looked around and waited for their mother to come out. A hand appeared and it belonged to an elegant looking maiden. She glanced up at the Manor, observing it for a moment, then smiled.
"Why dear husband! It's absolutely charming!" The maiden exclaimed. Dr. Briefs smiled proudly.
"Papa!" A voice shouted.
"Well well! If it isn't my daughter...or is it?" Dr. Briefs questioned when you saw the state of his daughter. She was covered in mud from head to toe.
"What happened!?" Dr. Briefs asked, quite stunned.
"I got Krillen good," She answered smugly. Krillen appeared, also covered in mud. Dr. Briefs burst out laughing and bent to observe his daughter.
"I had planned on introducing Lady Melanie to a young lady, I guess you'll have to do. Melanie, this is my daughter Bulma. Bulma this is Lady Melanie, your new stepmother. And her daughters, Chi Chi and Marron." Dr. Briefs introduced.
"Ladies," Lady Melanie said.
The two younger girls behind her curtsied.
"Bulma, it is very nice to finally meet you. Your father speaks of nothing else."
Bulma beamed and looked at her father. She was happy he had finally come home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was bed time, and Dr. Briefs sat on Bulma's bed.
"I have something for you." He said.
She looked at him curiously, as he took out a small package.
"It's called a capsule. You might need this someday."
She took it, and looked at it. She smiled at him and he tucked her in. She yawned.
"You are very quiet, tonight sweetheart," Dr. Briefs observed.
"Just thinking of our new life. It's quite different, isn't it?" Bulma asked.
Dr. Briefs nodded.
"I must leave in a few days. There is a seminar coming up that I must attend too."
"But you just got back!" Bulma exclaimed.
"I shall be back in 3 weeks."
"One week." Bulma answered.
"Two weeks."
"One week."
Dr. Briefs looked at her. He could never say no to those blue eyes of hers.
"Very well, one week."
Bulma squealed and yawned.
"Goodnight princess." Dr. Briefs whispered and kissed her goodnight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A few days later, everyone got ready for Dr. Briefs departure.
"I have never seen anymore glum faces!" He observed.
He looked at Lady Melanie and kissed her gently.
"The sooner you leave, the sooner your arrival," she said. He nodded. He looked at his stepdaughters and gave them each a hug. He then turned to his daughter.
"I love you. Make sure you show Lady Melanie how things are done around here," He said with a wink. She nodded sadly and hugged her father.
Dr. Briefs climbed onto his horse, but suddenly his arm went numb. He shook the pain away and grabbed the reigns.
Lady Melanie and her daughters turned to reenter the house.
"Hold on!" Bulma said. "He always waves at the gate. It's tradition!"
Lady Melanie just looked at her and continued her way in. Bulma ran toward the gate and waited for her father to wave. Suddenly, her father lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Bulma screamed, which made Lady Melanie reappear. Bulma ran to her father, with the rest of the workers at her heels. Lady Melanie also began to run.
Bulma reached her father and embraced him. Lady Melanie reached down to also embrace him. He looked at her, and then turned to his daughter and held her cheek.
"I love you," he whispered and closed his eyes.
"NO!" Bulma cried. "Papa!"
"Husband! Do not leave me!" Lady Melanie shouted. "Husband!"
Bulma hugged her father.
"Papa, wake up! Please open your eyes!"
Lady Melanie fell into the arms of a worker and cried. Bulma looked at her father with tears in her eyes.
It would be ten years before another man would enter her life...a man who was still a boy in many many ways....
Well that's kind of the same from the movie. I kinda find the similarities between Bulma and Vegeta with the characters from "Ever After." Tell me what you guys think! How about for starters 10 reviews. I'm working on the 2nd chapter, so I can get it out as soon as possible. Just lets say I need reviews in order to be motivated. This is Kasumi Yawa saying goodnight. Goodnight.
