Bulma, yawning, slowly stretched her arms and gently opened her eyes. Quickly, she sat up in the unfamiliar room. Her heart skipped a beat, however the past 24 hours came rushing back to her, and she sighed in relief, 'No wait, this isn't good, this SUCKS!' before she could recollect her thoughts again, Bulma broke down in tears. She sobbed, howled, and bashed her pillow, trying to make it all go away. It felt like a bad dream and she was expecting to wake up in her unbelievably comfortable queen sized bed, with the smell of pancakes lingering in the air from the kitchen. But no, she had to wake up with a sore body, cold and mixed smell of dirty clothes and metal. Chi Chi ran out of the shower in a towel to see what the screaming was about. To her relief she just saw Bulma twisted up in her sheets, crying a river into her pillow, she thought something bad might have happened.
"Hey B, what's wrong?" Chi Chi sat next to her friend and gave her a concerned look.
"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG? YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG?! OK I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S WRONG; WE ARE STUCK ON A SHIP FILLED WITH MURDERERS, SOMEWHERE IN SPACE ONLY KAMI KNOWS, WE ARE SLAVES TO A PHYSCO OVERGROWN LIZARD; WHO HAPPENS TO BE THE STRONGEST BEING IN THE UNIVERSE, AND OUR PLANET WAS ALMOST ANNIHILATED! AND YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG!" Bulma couldn't speak any longer, she found it hard enough just to breathe, gratefully though, two warm arms snaked their way around her and cradled her in Chi's lap. Chi Chi tranquilly stroked her blue tresses and spoke softly, trying to keep it from breaking.
"I know B, I know, but there is not much we can do about this, what about all those things you said last night? Were did that Bulma go? Look all I know is that, we are both miraculously alive, and so is our planet, Kami must really like us, we haven't been raped but in fact given security by almost the strongest soldiers on this hunk of metal. All we need to do now is get on, and find a way out, it's like you and your stupid inventions, you always crave more, and never look back on your old ones. We're both here, and we will both get through this, ok?" Bulma sat up and stared at her friend with the utmost admiration, Chi was so brave, and here she was wallowing in self pity when she wasn't the only one in trouble. She gave Chi a huge hug and kissed her cheek. "Thanks Chi…now I have a surprise for you" Bulma grinned and shook that episode off, determined to be more optimistic. Producing her capsules to Chi she threw one on the ground to produce a large box labeled,
"CLOTHES!" they squeaked together, and began the endless search of 'what to wear'.
Kakkarot beamed; in front of him where 10 large bowls of steaming hot rice. Opposite him where another 10, however these belonged to Krillin. The two had just gotten back from their 'warm up' and were ready to dig into their breakfast. Just when the two of them had their food positioned in front of their mouths a group of soldiers surrounded their table.
"Hey monkey's, eating a big breakfast I see; bet you're hungry from the work out last night." Kakkarot looked across the table questioningly at Krillin, he in return gave the exact look. 'Oh no we must have missed training yesterday, where gonna get a beating…again!' Kakkarot sighed; he really needed to start remembering stuff.
"Ah now come on, don't tell me you guys didn't get any action at all! I mean they are living with you for fuck sake!" Krillin looked up perplexed, then his eyes widened.
"AH KAKKAROT THE GIRLS!" they had forgotten all about them and that they needed to show them where to work. The two Saiyans flew out of the Food Hall as one big blur. The group of soldiers laughed at the two's idiocy, then, greedily sat down to finish the food that the Saiyan's didn't get to start. However before any of them could take a bite, Kakkarot suddenly appeared, gathered the bowls in top speed a raced out again,
"Thanks guys!" leaving the soldiers with sweat drops, gawking at the door.
Bulma and Chi Chi where still in their room getting ready. Bulma was combing through her gorgeously blue hair, while Chi Chi was strapping up her boots. Without warning their door flew open and both where tossed over a shoulder and rushed out of the small apartment and down opposite ends of the corridor, they barely had enough time to wave at the others retreating figure. Once Chi was out of sight, Bulma scowled down at her transportation. A little bald head was bobbing up and down as they flew down the hall. Bulma automatically knew who her transporter was.
"Krillin! I have legs you know!" she whined,
"Hey, morning Bulma! Sorry no time, gotta get you to work, were kinda late! Here eat this." Krillin handed her a bowl of rice and chopsticks. Bulma groaned 'Great, I'm late on my first day at work on this hell ship, wonder what kind of punishment you get for being late…' Bulma absent mindedly started to chew her breakfast.
The two soon arrived to a large metal door, Krillin punched the buttons on the code pad and the great door 'whooshed open'. Inside there were machines, chemicals, experiments, and aliens in white coats left right and centre. Krillin put her down and pointed to a door at the end of the room.
"Ok Bulma, that's the Head of Science Department's office, go knock on his door, I would come with you but Vegeta wants us to begin training immediately, he's such a cranky ass" Krillin mumbled the last sentence mostly to himself, 'what's up with Vegeta lately?' Bulma giggled and nodded.
"When wasn't he ever? Thanks Krillin see ya later ok!" Krillin hesitated before he left.
"Um Bulma, warning, science guy here is also a cranky ass, so try not to make him too mad, ok, good luck" then he was gone. Bulma sighed; 'great…' she smoothed out her shirt and pants and opened the door. 'He's a scientist, how much of a grouch can he be-'
"Ms BRIEFS! YOU ARE LATE!" Bulma winced at the volume of noise coming from an old, sturdy man behind a large desk. He had sleek white hair, combed back; dark squinty eyes behind his sharply cut thick glasses. To make his appearance older, he had a white beard connection to his moustache, it was short but noticeable. He wore a long spotless white coat to finish his ensemble.
"Um… I'm sorry about that Sir, couldn't find my way around the ship." She cautiously looked at he man who was scowling deeply at her.
"…it won't happen again" she added quickly, if she was going to work for him she might as well try and get on his good side.
"It better not" Bulma bit her lip to stop herself snapping back 'arrogant old bastard'.
"Now, I am Doctor Kanji, Head of this department, Lord Frieza has told me that you are quite the little genius, though I can hardly believe it to be true, and that you are to be put to work immediately. Follow me and hurry up, tardiness will not be tolerated her Ms Briefs, neither will disrespect, I have clear orders from Lord Frieza himself, that if you so much put one foot out of line I am to report to him immediately and you shall endure the consequences, do I make myself clear." Bulma's face was now slightly red and her eyebrows were borrowed furiously inwards but she managed a,
"Yes, Sir" . She followed him around the science labs as he gave her a tour; it wasn't a pleasant one, since all he did was insult her intelligence and race.
"I don't understand why Lord Frieza would spare a worthless creature like yourself; you better make it worth his while!" Once the tour was done they headed back to Dr Kanji's office. He handed her a white coat.
"Now Ms Briefs, Lord Frieza has done some research on your planets technology and there are various items that he wants you to construct, the first will be the 'regeneration tank' I hope you are familiar with this machine?" Dr Kanji gave her a challenging looking, Bulma did her best to not roll her eyes, little did the Doc know, she invented it.
"Um yes doctor I think I am familiar with it" Bulma did her best to try and sound sincere; she would give him the shock of his life, hopefully killing it. The Doctor frowned.
"Good, then Gieton here will show you to your work station and get you started. The Lord wants to see your results in 2 months, that shouldn't be a problem would it?" again he mockingly watched the girl. Bulma had enough, and was about it say something when the door opened. A light red, handsome, well built alien walked into the room. Bulma thought her mouth was going to hit the floor. He was just so gorgeous! He was in between Kakkarot's and Vegeta's height, and looked practically human, except for the light red skin and elfish ears that protruded outward to be recognized amongst his spiky silver hair, which swept over his forehead getting a little into his dark eyes. He wore a white coat and Bulma almost shouted out in glee when Doctor Kanji introduced him.
"Ah, good you're here, Ms Briefs this is Gieton, he will be assisting you with you're project, now both of you get out of my office" and with that he shoved them both through the door. Bulma landed on her backside with a thud.
"OUCH!...grr…stupid baka, old fart…"she mumbled to herself, while rubbing her butt at the same time, a red hand appeared in front of her face, and she followed it up to met the gaze of Gieton.
"Hey you ok? Here let me help you up, don't mind the Doc, he's just worried about getting old I think, doesn't want to get replaced." His smile was warm and genuine, and Bulma almost melted on the floor as she took his hand and allowed him to help her up.
"Well he seems to be able to push people around a bit, so I don't think he will be getting replaced anytime soon," she aided her butt some more. Gieton laughed,
"Come on I'll show you to your work station." She followed the red skinned hunk to a room with desks, computers, state of the art tools, and filing cabinets; it was like Bulma's old lab back home. The thought brought tears to her eyes, puzzled Gieton asked,
"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Bulma smiled through her tears, this hunk was so sweet; she might have to marry him!
"No, its ok, the place is great; it's just, it reminds me of my old lab, at home"
"Oh" Gieton got the message and comfortingly put a hand on her shoulder,
"I understand, I'm sorry it had to be this way, most of us were taken away from our planets too, but you got to make the most of it, that's the only way to live on this ship." Bulma sadly nodded her head, she already knew that, but she just didn't want to believe it. Sighing Bulma quickly gave Gieton a small hug, pulling back she blushed and looked down at the ground.
"Ah…sorry about that, guess I'm overly emotionally today…so lets get to work" Bulma hurriedly walked to the plans lying out on the desk. Gieton smirked, he wasn't sorry at all.
Chi Chi walked into the main kitchen, she wanted to gag at the smell, and could hardly see because of the smoke that lingered around. Suddenly a huge purple hand grasped her shoulder and pushed her against the wall. Chi Chi shut her eyes and waited for whatever came next, however nothing did. She slowly opened her eyes and realized she was standing in a line. Next to her, on the right, was a tall, skinny, blue alien that had an apron on and a hair net, it also had five tentacles, rather than hands. Oh her left, a plump orange alien stood, it too wore an apron and hair net, in fact the whole line was. That's when she noticed a huge fat purple figure, walking up and down the line, like captains do to soldiers. Abruptly it appeared right in front of Chi Chi, almost nose to nose. Chi gasped a little, startled by the ugliness of the monster in front of her.
"You're the new recruit huh? Gave yourself in without any warning, well at least you can be thankful that you're not dead, but that can be changed if you don't behave." Chi Chi was about to faint, the alien had serious breath problems, and the stench was nearly overwhelming. However, she was roughly pulled out of her drowsiness and put in front of a steel table with, what she could only image to be, various types of food.
"So you are a cook eh? Lets just see how good you are." The purple alien gave Chi Chi a knife and ordered her to cook.
Hours later, Chi Chi was still trying to make the so called 'food' that they had provided eatable. The rest of them were just watching her, laughing occasionally when she almost puked from her concoction, and endlessly insulted her. Tired, upset and frustrated, Chi Chi whirled around to the purple alien that seemed to be the boss.
"I can't cook with this shit; don't you have other type of food? Can't I look around the kitchen a bit and get the feel of things?" the purple alien, again put its ugly face right in front of hers.
"Listen girl, you will cook the things provided for you, your lucky we haven't killed you yet, and you say you can cook, but look at this shit! You're worthless and time is running out, so make something eatable before a I get back." And with that, all of the other aliens retreated out of the kitchen. Chi Chi sunk to the floor and started to cry. It was just too damn hard, she couldn't be strong anymore, she never wanted to come but she did it for Bulma, and now both of them could die any minute. It was futile, their live would never be the same, not matter how much they wanted it to be. Chi Chi wiped away her tear with her shirt, no, she couldn't give up, it was either stick it out and live, or fail and die, and she had come too far just to give up and die. Determinedly Chi Chi got up, and started to turn towards the table, when a refrigerator came to view. Smirking evil she walked toward it.
Hours later, after endless chopping, cutting, stirring, mixing and almost gettng her hair burnt from the stove; Chi Chi had finally finished. Proudly and exhausted, she stepped back as the others came in to sample her food. As much to their despair, the food the weakling human cooked was absolutely, delicious. The purple alien came over to Chi Chi.
"Earthling, I do congratulate you, the food is excellent." Chi Chi smirked.
"Of course it, is I made it." The purple alien scowled at her, but then gave her an equally evil smirk.
"Yes but I happen to wonder where you got all the ingredients to cook this?" Chi Chi's smirk was totally wiped off and she gave a horrified look.
"Because it seems to taste nothing like the food we gave you to cook." Chi Chi quickly looked down.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"LAIR!" screamed the purple alien and struck her. It continually beat up Chi Chi, while kicking her out the door. Almost on the brink of unconsciousness Chi Chi was grabbed by the hair violently and the alien whispered in her ear.
"You insolent wench! Never disobey my orders again, or next time you will die. Frieza will hear about your defiance." The smell did it for Chi Chi, rendering her unconsciousness, which was probably for the best because the alien gave her another swift violent kick in the stomach, and left her outside in the hall way to defend for herself.
