Chapter 3: Bad News
Bulma woke up from yet another terrifying nightmare and a migraine. She realized that she sweating and was not in her room. She was on the living room couch and the television was still on. It was coming back to her. Last night she woke up from a nightmare only to wake up with another.
When will these nightmares stop. Bulma was about to cry but when the food hit her nose her tummy started to growl. It smelled really delicious. She just wanted to get to it. She headed to the kitchen where her mother was cooking up a storm. She was cooking breakfast. Bulma was still half asleep when she sat around the dining table. Her lid were ½ closed.
"Good morning honey". Mrs Brief yelled in a singing tone. Bulma immediately covered her ears.
"Oh Kami mom, please don't, I've got a splitting migraine." Bulma stated removing her hands.
"SORRRRYYYYYYY." Her mom sang again. Bulma slowly shook her head, as much as she love her mother but some times she can't help feeling that they were not related in any way. 'Well it's pretty obvious where I get my brilliance from, and it's not my mom.' Bulma said to her self and sat down with her head on the dining table.
Mrs. Brief looked at her only child. Even though the ditsy woman is brain dead to everything else, she could tell some thing was bothering her daughter. "What's wrong honey?"
"Oh nothing mom, I've just been having nightmare and I haven't gotten a good night sleep since we came back from Namek." Bulma said quickly not wanting to linger long on the topic, but if she know her mom as well as she think she do, she'll just forget about everything she just told her.
"That's not nothing honey. Here, I know what you need." Mrs Brief passed Bulma a cup of coffee. Bulma started sipping on it. "You see honey, you're just lonely. You have been with out a man for a while. Thats not healthy for a young woman. Why don't you go and court that nice boy Vegeta?"
That name echoed in the back of her mind, it made her shiver with fear. Suddenly she felt the chill in her bones, she was now ice cold and it was a relatively hot day.
"He could give you what you want, trust me. I can tell. He has everything a woman could ever want. Have you seen him naked. That boy is packing." Bulma immediately spat out her coffee hitting her mom in the face. Bulma was so shocked. Mrs Brief proceeded to clean her self off when her husband walked in.
"Honey don't patronize the girl, I'm sure she has a reason has to why she haven't got up off her lazy ass and fetch me some grand kids. Cause I mean your not getting younger you know. I'm sure you know that already being a scientist and all." Mr Brief said sarcastically.
He reached over and kissed his wife then his little girl. The coffee woke up Bulma so her father didn't realize what she's been going through. 'Good, saves me another explanation. They sat down and ate breakfast. There was a still silence but Mr. Brief was the first to brake it.
"Honey I'm going to need you to take over the company while I'm gone". Mr. Brief stated while modestly shoving eggs down his throat.
"Gone, where are you going?" Bulma quickly asked as she turned to her father.
"We are going on another business venture, actually it's just another boring meeting, dinner dates, golf playing with the CEO of Dragon Tech. He planning on ...I'll tell you later. We are going to leave at 4."
"Today?" Her father shook his head. "But..but why so soon?" Bulma asked not please with the sudden turn of events.
"Believe me honey, it was oh so sudden to me too. Don't worry, we'll be back in two days." Bulma thought to her self, now she stuck in a empty mansion with Vegeta. But she felt more at ease knowing that he resides on the other side of the compound. 'But what's stopping him from coming over here?' "I told Vegeta to keep an eye on you if anything goes wrong." Her father finished his statement by sipping on his tea.
Bulma's fear went away for a while but it came back, also her anger. "WHAT...DAAD. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" She was now shaking and sweating. Bulma shot up not even touching her breakfast and ran up the stairs. Few seconds later a door slammed.
The great doctor looked at his wife with a questionable expression. She replied by stated "Shy."

Bulma was locked up in her room for hours. Locked up in her room just staring at her ceiling. Sleep was not a option for her anymore, so she just started thinking. 'I can't believe dad. Why would he tell Vegeta to keep an eye on me. He might as well tell the damn monster to come fuck her brains out.' She kept pondering how the smartest man on earth can be so naive. After hours, she finally got bored. She went down stairs to watch some tv. It was raining real hard. She had a television in her room but it's not as big as the family television.
Her parents probably gone already. She was always by her self, she's used to it growing up. Her parents were hardly around, for good reasons. But some times her mom would stay with her. Bulma took a detour to the kitchen checking the cupboard for some chips.
Bulma walked back to the living room and plopped down on the couch and started flipping through channels finding her favorite soaps. Bulma had to admit, her mother was right about her being lonely. Yamcha really hurt her when he cheated on her, with a prostitute. 'He actually paid for sex. How low can you get. I'm here offering it to him free and he fucks a prostitute.' She thought he would respect the fact that she wanted to get married then have sex. She don't believe in premarital sex. All he had to do was wait.
Hours later in watching her program, she heard a noise in the kitchen. It sounded like the refrigerator door being open. A minute later she shook it off. Her television was loud so she could be hearing things so she lower the volume. But when she heard the plate crashing into the sink, now she was not hearing things.
"Mom, Dad?" Bulma shouted out. She got up off the couch and went to investigate. She saw the used plate in the sink so she know Vegeta was not driving her insane. "Mom, Dad?" Bulma called out but more quietly this time. The house was dark except for the living room. She almost jumped out of her skin when a deep voiced no more that a few feet away from her.
"They left." Bulma turned around instantly to see the man of her nightmares standing behind her. The man that wont allow her to sleep. The man that makes her piss her panties.
"Ve..Ve..Veg". Vegeta didn't see how scared she was because it was late evening and the kitchen light was off.
"The food over here is way better than the crap they give me over there." Vegeta said looking in the fridge. "I'm a saiyan warrior, I need good food. Woman, I'm you're guest, I should be getting better treatment...". Vegeta realize that the woman was not saying anything so he looked up at her from the fridge to her with a drumstick in his mouth. Vegeta swallowed it in one bite. "Woman?" Vegeta advanced on her and he realize how she immediately stepped back.
Vegeta kept on advancing and Bulma kept on stepping back. Vegeta found this very interesting. She was afraid of him. No, she was petrified of him. Bulma ran out of retreating space when she was inbetween Vegeta and a hard place. Vegeta was inches away from her face a she could feel his hot breath tickling her nose. Vegeta did a full body scan. She was nervously shaking, her breath was ragged, her heart was beating at a 100 mph. Then he smelled something funny in the air. He sniffed twice and the came to a conclution. 'The woman pissed her self. Wow, thats real fear.' He smirked.
Bulma looked up at him with horror in her eyes. Vegeta moved in like he was going to steal a kiss. Suddenly Bulma passed out. Before she hit the floor, Vegeta caught her. "Wow...I guess this is how the earthlings say welcome." Vegeta said to him self. He then brought her up stairs to her bed room and gently placed her on the bed. Vegeta looked at her. 'The woman is afraid of me, this will be interesting.'

Bulma woke up in her room. No shit. The only problem was, she don't remember going to bed.
All she remember was her watching television in the living room and then...
It all came back to her, she was face to face with Vegeta like in her dream. The horror came back on her face.
She pinched her self to make sure she wasn't dead.
"Why didn't he kill me? How did I come face to face with the almighty prince of saiyans and live to tell the story?" Bulma said to her self.
Bulma stared pacing back and forth in her room until she wore herself out. She sat down on her bed, her body and mind was exhausted. She realize that she was slaking off in her work in the lab.
She brushed her teeth and washed her face. She went in her huge walk in closet and got out some old overalls.
She tied her hair in a bun and headed to her lab. Vegeta wouldn't think to look for her there. She tip toed down the hall. She didn't know where he was. And she don't want to.

Vegeta was outside of the gravity room meditating. He sat down in Indian style. After all it was broken.
He had went to the woman for her to fix it but she passed out from fear.
He wasn't surprised, everyone who knows him on the vile planet fear him, except for Kakarrot and his wench.
'To think, after all the beating I give him, he still makes fun of me.' He would beat him to an inch of his very existence, maybe that would convince him to fear his prince.
But knowing Goku, he would invite Vegeta over for dinner right after. 'He's too FUCKING SOFT, that's no way for a saiyan to act.'
Vegeta could remember the stupid earthling mentioning that he hit his head as a child.
'He must have hit his head really hard because the man had the intelligence of a tree stump.'
Vegeta opened his eyes and stood up. He was going to do some self training.
He levitated and in super speed he took off to an abandon island. He saw one that would suit his needs.
After minutes of flying, he came to sudden stop in mid air and levitate to the earth. He checked he surroundings.
The island was beautiful, it's a shame he going to destroy it. Vegeta let out an evil laugh.
Vegeta clenched his fists and crouched his back. White flames came over him. The flames got bigger and bigger.
The whole island started to shake violently, all the little animals in the area scurried away.
Suddenly the white flames turned yellow, his hair turned yellow and his eyes turned a bright green.
Vegeta jumped in the air and started delivering a barrage of punches and kicks. He started flying through the forest knocking down trees.
He fired a few ki blasts. Then he flew up in the sky over the island, his hands were by his side.
He assumed a T shape position. She started powering up then stuck his arms out in front of him.
He yelled out Final Flash and a wave of pure energy went rushing for the island. There was a huge flash of light then mushroom clouds follow. When the smoke cleared, the island was gone. Vegeta destroyed five more island.
Vegeta had his fill of training for a while, he changed back to normal and flew back to Capsule Corp.

Bulma was deep in her work when the phone rang. She was going to let it keep ringing but it got annoying so she answered it.
"Hey honey".
"Hi Dad."
"It seem that we are going to have to stay longer that I expected."
"Oh" Was Bulma's only response.
"I'm really sorry honey"
"It's ok, I'm used to you being away I guess. When will you be back?"
"In 3 months"
"3 MONTHS. I'M STUCK WITH VEGETA FOR THREE MONTHS?" Bulma yelled.
"I'm sorry baby, I'll try to work faster. We'll be home real soon. Vegeta's not so bad"
"Yeah dad, you should know." She said more to her self. "Ok dad" And with they hey hung up.
Bulma really didn't feel like working any more. She exited the lab and went to the kitchen, she made sure he was no where in sight. It pathetic how she have to sneak around in her own home. She should show that bastard what for.
She got some orange juice from the fridge, closed it and turned around and walked right up in a hard surface.
She bumped her head, she was rubbing it when she looked up and saw Vegeta. Vegeta decided to test her. "Woman, make me something to eat, and fix the Gravity room." Vegeta stated and watch as the woman didn't budge. "NOW." Vegeta rolled his eyes when Bulma fainted again. He caught her before she hit the floor. He rolled his eyes again. "This is already getting old."
