Author's Note: I am just letting everyone know that it might be a little while before I get the next chapter up. It has come to that time of the year. School is starting again and my writing time will be greatly diminished, especially because I am writing a senior thesis this sememster (a really, really long research paper that tops off my entire undergraduate career). I just wanted to give my readers fair warning. Please be patient. It may be a week or so between updates from now on, but I will update. Thanks for understanding. Author out.

Chapter 7: Prophecy from a Boy
"Why can't I forget her? I long for her to be mine, to take her in my arms, to have her as my wife. Is she supposed to be my wife? But how can that be when she loves that no-count human Yamcha?" Vegeta thought as he dressed in the clothes she had left for him. Pink? A pink shirt? What was she thinking? Though he didn't care – she left them for him – he still complained about it. He had to keep up his appearance. No one could know he was falling in love with Bulma.
It was later that afternoon and Vegeta sat around a table with Yamcha, Puar, and Oolong while Bulma grilled ribs nearby. Vegeta's anger rose as he watched Yamcha and Bulma interact together then Vegeta sensed something which caused his temper to flare. He stood up suddenly and slammed his hands on the table. "So Kakarot failed after all! Frieza's still alive!" he yelled. Though the others doubted him, they soon all found out he was right. Vegeta, Yamcha, Puar, Bulma, Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, and Chiatzu prepared to face not only Frieza, but also his father, King Cold. However, before they could step in, a young, lavender-haired teenager showed up and defeated Frieza and King Cold with ease after turning into a super saiyan! Then, the youth powered down and told the Z Fighters if they wanted to follow him to a nearby spot, Kakarot would be there in two hours.
After getting some refreshments from the teenager, who refused to tell the Z Fighters anything about himself, they all sat down to wait on Kakarot to arrive. Vegeta inwardly smiled as Yamcha and Bulma spent most of the two hours arguing, but he was more focused on the teenager. The boy had been a super saiyan, but that was impossible, wasn't it? He and Kakarot were the only full-blooded saiyans left and the only other one was Kakarot's half-saiyan son. How could this boy be a saiyan? But, yet, for some reason, Vegeta knew this boy was a saiyan. And he seemed familiar, too, though Vegeta couldn't place from where. Vegeta took the two hours to study the new teenager. The boy was of small build, just about the same size as Vegeta and had a half-saiyan, half-human ki signal. But what bothered Vegeta more was the boy's appearance. For some reason, Vegeta could not shake how much alike the boy and Bulma looked. And there was also the Capsule Corporation logo on his sleeve. Were they related?
True to the boy's word, Kakarot appeared at the end of the two hours. After some time talking alone with Kakarot, the boy flew off without saying goodbye. Piccolo, who had been listening to the boy and Kakarot's conversation, then told the others what was going on. The boy was from twenty years in the future and came to warn them that all of them but Gohan were to die in a battle with two androids in three years. They all needed to make a decision whether or not to train over the next three years to prepare for the androids. As they were debating what to do, the boy appeared overhead in a ship. He hovered there for a moment then disappeared, returning to the future. "The future?" Vegeta thought, looking at Bulma, "Could he? Could he be . . . our son?"
