Chapter 2
Everything was peaceful at Mount Paozu on this day. Suddenly a child's voice could be heard
"KAMEHAMEHA" the bright blue beam soared fast towards a shadowed figure
The figure seemed to smirk for a second before lifting a single hand towards the destructive wave catching it and holding it until the energy disappeared
Through the smoke laughing could be heard and when the smoke cleared a proud looking Vegeta could be seen smiling at another figure
"Finally Kakarot you've managed to master the Kamehameha wave" the 17 year old said with pride looking towards the other Saiyan
"Now that I've mastered that can you teach me the Galick Gun like you promised?" Goku said with excitement
Vegeta smirked at the younger Saiyans enthusiasm at learning new techniques
"Not Yet Kakarot, first you must master every technique from Gohan and only then will I teach you the Galick Gun" Vegeta said with a smirk knowing what Kakarot's reaction would be
"Aww but Vegeta, Grandpa always takes forever to teach his moves and he always starts with the basics" Goku whined
"That's why I can't teach you the Galick Gun yet Kakarot; you have to work on your patience" Vegeta said walking back towards Gohan's house with Goku in tow
"But I had patience when learning the Kamehameha! That means something right?" The 12 year old boy asked pulling on Vegeta's tail
This caused the Prince to smirk but just when he opened his mouth to respond he saw what appeared to be a weird vehicle traveling towards him and Goku at a semi quick speed
He jumped out of the way while Goku, who didn't see the vehicle, got hit head on
The shocked look on his face and the bump forming on his head made Vegeta erupt in laughter
"Hey! Vegeta this monster attacked me and you're just going to sit there and laugh!?" Goku yelled holding his head
Vegeta, who was still struggling to control his laughter, ruffled the fallen Saiyans hair before saying
"You have to be more aware of your surroundings Kakarot, never let your guard down"
Goku looked away with a pout before shocking Vegeta by saying
"I never have my guard up around you because I know you'll always protect me" looking up at the older Saiyan
Goku's statement stirred weird emotions in Vegeta who stared in shock at the boy before smiling
The moment between the 2 was interrupted by a panicked voice that came from behind the vehicle
"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry are you okay?" A teenage girl with long blue hair asked Goku
Vegeta froze up when he saw the beautiful girl that seemed to be around his age. It's been over a decade since he's last seen a female and even then he didn't pay much attention to them
But there was something about this one that made Vegeta's insides turn
"I'm fine but how did do come out that monster?" Goku asked in confusion
Turning red at his brothers' stupidity he quickly smacked the back of Goku's head giving him a bruise matching the one in the front
"Ouch! Why'd you do that?" Goku asked
"Kakarot that's a car. Remember when Gohan was teaching you about that?" Vegeta asked with his arms crossed exasperated
Goku blinked before laughing putting a hand behind his head
The girl sweat dropped before looking at Vegeta smiling with pink tinged cheeks
Vegeta noticed the girl looking at him so he coughed and addressed her
"So introductions seem to be in order. I am Prince Vegeta and this is my little brother Kakarot but his human name is Goku. We are the only known survivors of the Saiyans the mightiest race in the universe" Vegeta said with a smirk looking at the girl's expression
"I am Bulma, heiress to Capsule Corporation the greatest company in the world" Bulma said
'Capsule Corporation? Gohan has mentioned that a few times and has said is one of the smartest people on Earth… His daughter sure is attractive' Vegeta thought looking at her
Little did he know that he was occupying Bulma's thoughts as well
'He's a prince, he's tall, dark, and handsome, the tail adds to his look… Ooh Bulma you've hit the Jackpot with this one' Bulma thought looking back at Vegeta
Goku, noticing the 2 teenagers, decided this was the best moment to get back at Vegeta for hitting him
"Vegeta can you please explain why your face is red? It's not that hot today" Goku said laughing at his brother's flustered face
Hearing this Vegeta sent an energy beam towards Goku who smirked and deflected it
The beam was accidentally sent towards Bulma who shrieked and ducked leading to the beam destroying her car
Both Vegeta and Goku sweat dropped at the burning car as Bulma got up with a furious expression
"Okay so Saiyans are an alien race of destructive monkeys" Bulma said irritated
Vegeta's mouth dropped at the insult he hasn't heard since he was a child and Goku just looked at Bulma in confusion
"What do you mean Monkey?" He asked scratching his head with his tail causing both Bulma and Vegeta to smack their faces
"Anyway, Bulma what brings you here" Vegeta asked
Bulma takes out an orange orb with 7 red stars on it and shows it to the brothers
"This is a Dragon Ball. They're 7 of them in all and if you gather all 7 you can summon a dragon that grants any wish" Bulma said
Vegeta looked at the orb with shock and familiarity before the younger Saiyan spoke up
"Grandpa has one of those in the shed Vegeta but I think his has 4 stars" Goku said much to Bulma's excitement
"Really? I knew one was around here, can I have it please" she begged
"I don't know Bulma, the Dragon ball is kind of important to the old man. I don't think he'll just give up to you" Vegeta said
"Well can you take me there so ask him handsome?" Bulma asked with a wink
Vegeta blushed at being called 'handsome' before yelling "Don't call me that"
Causing both Bulma and Goku to laugh at the older Saiyan's face
"Sure let's go" Goku said floating up into sky much to the surprise of Bulma who eyes widened
"You can fly?" Bulma asked amazed
"You can't?" Goku teased causing Vegeta to laugh and Bulma's face to redden
"Shut Up! Not everyone can be all powerful aliens born to fight" Bulma screamed causing Vegeta and Goku to smirk in pride
"Yeah you're right" Goku agreed suddenly smirking at his idea
"Well I'm off to Grandpa's house, Vegeta why don't you carry her to make sure she gets there" Goku asked his brother with a wink flying away
Vegeta shrugged walking over to Bulma and scooping her up Bridal style taking off causing her to blush and wrap her arms around him
The sudden pressure on his neck made Vegeta blush as well as he flew towards Gohan's house
When the Saiyans touched down Gohan was already outside having sensed them coming
"It's about time you returned dinner is almost ready" the old man said with a smile
"Yay! FOOD!" Goku said rushing into the house at a speed Bulma couldn't follow
"So Vegeta who's the girl you've brought with you" Gohan said with a kind smile
Before Vegeta or Bulma could respond Goku said from the Kitchen
"Her name is Bulma. She's…VEGETA'S MATE!"
Vegeta and Bulma flashed red as Gohan stared in disbelief. Vegeta disappeared into the house and soon banging could be heard accompanied by Goku's screams of pain
Gohan laughed and then turned to Bulma
"Hello there young lady. I am Gohan, Goku and Vegeta's adoptive grandfather. What brings you out here?" Gohan asked kindly
"Oh I'm here on a quest for the Dragon balls" Bulma said taking out one that she already had
"Oh I have one of those too. I think it's in the shed" Gohan said searching for it
"Ah here it is! I have the four star ball. Tell me why do you want this so much?" He asked
"Well at first I was going to wish for the perfect boyfriend…" Bulma said thinking that she wouldn't have to wish for that now
"…but now I think that about it, I'm planning to wish for unlimited strawberries" Bulma thought with a smile
Gohan laughed at the young girls' silly wish as he gave her the ball. Then he thought about something
"Wait so how do you find these dragon balls?" He asked
Bulma smirked before taking a watch like device out of her bag
"This is a dragon ball radar that I've built myself. It detects dragon balls all over the planet" Bulma explained
Gohan looked at the girl and laughed. He had heard about the genius of Dr. Briefs but his daughter was incredibly smart herself
Then a thought crossed Gohan's mind
"Who is with you? Surely it's a dangerous journey…Would you like the boys to come with you?" Gohan asked
Bulma laughed
"Nothing dangerous has happened yet but yeah I would love company" Bulma said
Gohan smiled then just as he was about to call them; Goku was sent flying by them followed by a smirking Vegeta who was rubbing his fist
Ignoring the brothers quarrel Gohan smiled
"Alright you two are going with Bulma to find the dragon balls. Your job is to protect her" Gohan instructed
Both Goku and Vegeta shrugged their shoulders as they agreed
"That's fine by me. This gives me the opportunity to look for any more worthy humans to add to my team" Vegeta said with his arms crossed
'And it also lets me spend more time with Bulma' Vegeta thought to himself secretly
"Hey Vegeta you forgot to say how you can spend more time with Bulma" Goku teased causing Gohan to laugh and both teens to once again turn red
'Damn you Kakarot' Vegeta thought while contemplating firing a Galick Gun at the other Saiyan
"Well it's decided and to make the training better; no flying unless you absolutely have to" Gohan said
The brothers agreed and then after saying their goodbyes they were off on their first adventure with Bulma
2 days later
The trip for the Saiyans has been relatively boring so far aside from protecting Bulma from a pterodactyl and defending a turtle from a bear bandit
They group was currently walking towards the ocean with the turtle on Goku's back and Bulma on Vegeta's
Vegeta only carried her because she would've slowed them down otherwise. At least that's what he told himself
When they arrived the turtle swam away into the sea promising to be back soon with his master
Hours passed in which time Goku and Vegeta sparred on the beach giving Bulma quite a show before the turtle returned with a weird old man
"Hello you three. Tell me are you the one that saved my turtle?" The man with the turtle shell said
Before any could respond the turtle spoke up
"Only the two boys master. The taller one is very strong and he killed that bear by just looking at it…"
Bulma winced at the memory; she wasn't quite ready for Vegeta's brutality
"…And the smaller boy carried me on his back for miles until we got here. I owe them both my life" the turtle finished
The turtle hermit looked at two boys with the strange tails before realizing something and introducing himself
"I am Roshi the turtle hermit. Thank you for rescuing my turtle. You boys wouldn't be the Saiyans Goku and Vegeta by any chance would you?"
Roshi asked the boys
Both Vegeta and Goku nodded while remembering stories about the man who trained Gohan. And Roshi nodded stroking his beard
"Yeah I thought so. Gohan told me about you two about 9 years ago and I'm willing to help you, but what I really want to know is…" Roshi said as Saiyans prepared themselves
"…whose that beautiful young lady behind you" he asked as Vegeta sensed the man aura shift from serious to lustful
Vegeta didn't like it and soon positioned himself between Roshi and Bulma
Roshi noticed Vegeta's shift with a gleam in his eye and knew that this girl was spoken for way before Goku spoke up
"That's Bulma, we are helping her search for the Dragon Balls and also she might be Vegeta's girlfriend" the young Saiyan said remembering how Vegeta scolded him for using the word mate
Roshi laughed at the teenagers faces
"Well I see. Anyway I have to reward you for saving my turtle" Roshi said with a smile
Immediately Goku asked Roshi to train him which wasn't a surprise to Vegeta or Roshi given how the boy was looking at him with excitement since he said who he was
It wasn't every day you met the strongest known human on the planet but Vegeta dismissed it as luck
Roshi laughed and said
"Of course. Come by my Island when this whole dragon ball business is over" much to the excitement of Goku
Roshi then turned to Vegeta
"Is that what you want too or do you want something else?"
Before Vegeta could voice his desire to train, Bulma spoke up
"May I have that ball on your chain?"
Roshi took it out and looked at it
"This old thing? It washed up on my island years ago" Roshi said in confusion
"Yes that! Can I have it please?" Bulma asked seeing the dragon ball
Roshi thought for a moment. The only two he was obligated to give something to was Goku and Vegeta.
Suddenly an idea flashed through his head and his eye twinkled behind his sunglasses
"You know what I will give you this if you… Let me see your panties" Roshi said with a lecherous grin
Bulma's eyes went wide with shock and disgust, while Vegeta looked murderous. Goku on the other just scratched his head in confusion
Before Bulma could formulate any coherent words; Vegeta, once again, put himself between Bulma and Roshi before saying
"You heard her. That's what I want"
Roshi once again laughed at the teenagers' behavior
"Damn, foiled again" he said still laughing
He took off his chain and tossed it to Vegeta
"Well now that that's done I'll be off" I'll see you Saiyans later" and with that Roshi hopped on the turtle and they left the way they came
Vegeta handed Bulma the dragon ball not letting his eyes leave the old man until he was out of sight
Bulma took it as her fingertips brushed his
With pink tinged cheeks she grabbed Vegeta's arm
"Thank you Vegeta" she said kissing his cheek
Goku busted out laughing at his brothers flustered reaction to the show of affection
He had never seen Vegeta so red before and to think it was because of a female. Goku was thoroughly enjoying himself
Vegeta growled and turned his head away to hide his blush from Goku
"It was nothing. Don't mention it" he said as Bulma looked at him with shining bright blue eyes
Vegeta looked away smirking thinking to himself
'Maybe this trip will be beneficial for me after all'
The group left the beach soon after with Bulma walking in front with Vegeta and Goku close behind in search for the next dragon ball and their next adventure
