Anna had visited Vegeta three times already that night.
Each time it only looked like he was getting worse.
He had thirteen monitors surrounding him by the time she left.
The fourth time she meet Raditz, who was sitting by the ill prince.
The twenty-one year old male was humming a tune that must have been a Sayijin tune.
She sat next to him and waited until he was done until she spoke.
"That was a nice song." she simply said.
"My mother used to hum it when I was a child. That was before my race was killed." Raditz replied, not hiding his sorrow.
"Where's the other? Nappa, was it?"
"Nappa isn't on the ship. He was deployed a week ago."
"Why aren't you and Vegeta with him?"
"Freiza is keeping us here as a punishment."
The conversation stopped as one of the monitors started to go crazy.
"He's waking up!" Anna said.
Vegeta's eyes shot open as far as they could with the swelling.
Raditz had gone to get a nurse.
Anna held Vegeta's hands to keep him from removing the tube.
"Hey. You feel any better?" she asked with worry.
Vegeta shook his head no slowly.
"Ah. So the monkey prince is up. I guess we can take the tube out. We'll have to put it back in before he goes back to sleep though." Shela said coldly.
The female ripped the tube out of Vegeta's thought.
Vegeta opened his mouth to scream, only to have little more than a gurgle come out.
"You'll have your voice back to normal in a few days." Shela noted.
Vegeta looked worried.
"Thanks Shela. We'll come get you before he goes back to sleep." Raditz said.
The nurse simply rolled her eyes.
"Hey, can you speak?" Raditz asked.
"H-hur-rts." Vegeta said with much difficulty.
"Yeah. It's gonna hurt for a while. Just breath there, buddy." Anna said.
"L-Lu-nnnn-gs. H-hur-rt." Vegeta said.
"That's okay. They put a tube into your lungs." Raditz explained to his young friend.
"S-sle-ep?"
"Okay." Raditz said as he got up.
Anna looked at Vegeta, feeling terrible about what was happening to him.
'It's my fault, really.' She shook her head.
No.
No, it wasn't her fault.
It was Zarbon's.
Looking at Vegeta, she sighed.
"Well, lets get that tube back in." Shela entered the room.
Vegeta shrunk back.
Shela gave him a shot and put the tube back in.
"Now, get out. I want to go to bed too you know."
Anna walked out of the room, her head down.
"Perk up. He'll be out of there by tomorrow." Raditz said.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Anna replied.
THE NEXT MORNING...
Anna sat on the edge of her bed.
Bulma still hadn't returned.
Luck had its way, and Vegeta was still in the hospital.
Good.
That means that he should be safe from everyone on the ship.
For now...
RADITZ AND NAPPA'S ROOM...
Bulma was sitting on the edge of Nappa's bed.
Raditz was still asleep in his bed.
Lucky him.
She was depressed by watching Raditz sleep when she couldn't.
Deciding that Anna would like some company, Bulma got up and went to her room.
BACK TO ANNA...
She had signed away two life's.
Bulma and Anna were now part of Freiza's army.
Anna sat on her bed, staring up at the ceiling.
Vegeta had been put into a tank half an hour ago.
He'd be out in time for breakfast.
Anna was holding onto her i-pod.
THAT was what had kept her alive.
She loved that little device.
Bulma had just came in the room.
The two girls watched the clock until ten.
Vegeta then joined them.
Anna slightly perked up when she saw him and Bulma ran up to him and hugged him.
Surprising everyone in that room, he hugged her back.
Anna shooed Bulma out so that she could be alone with Vegeta.
Bulma winked at Anna on the way out.
All she got was an eye roll.
Once the door closed, Anna tackled Vegeta in a hug.
The i-pod had turned on.
I've been around the world in the pouring rain.
Feeling out of place, I'm feeling strange.
Take me to a place where everyone knows my name,
where everyone knows my name...
Anna kept sobbing his name over and over.
"Don't ever leave again, Vegeta. Please don't leave again."
"A-Anna, I'm not g-going any where."
Check it check it out while I do my thing.
King of the floor, king of swing.
Play a little beat, I'll be your dancing machine.
Play a little jam I'll come alive, alive, alive.
Anna smiled.
"You remembered my name."
Vegeta smiled back.
"H-How could I f-f-forget?"
He pulled them onto there feet.
"You know how to dance?" she asked.
They got jungle fever show 'em some love.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Vegeta smirked and took her hand.
Anna took this as a yes.
They started spinning around seven times and then dipped.
Anna got up and took of onto her feet.
This is my home, this is my home.
King of the throne, this is my home.
This is my home, this is my home.
This is my home...
Vegeta smiled as her watched her feet go wild to the music.
She spun back to him and grabbed his hands.
She felt so alive.
See I've been traveling, been traveling forever.
But now that I'm finally home, it feels like I'm in heaven.
See I've been traveling, been traveling forever.
But now that I'm home, it feels like I'm in heaven, heaven, heaven.
This was heaven. A friend dancing with her, a good song, and a little new hope.
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, ya I'm a work it, work it out, I'm (Hey ya, hey
ya) I'm (Check it, check it out) I'm okay now. (Hey ya, hey ya)
I'm...
Anna leaned on Vegeta's shoulder.
She was home.
Even if she knew that she would never love Vegeta more than a friend, she felt great.
Earth had never accepted her, and now here she was.
Dancing with a prince.
'Screw you, Earth!' she thought happily. 'I found a home.'
Even though they knew that the ship could stand up to Hell, they felt like they were in Heaven.
But, unknown to them, someone was watching them.
MONITER ROOM...
A screen had picked up everything in the room.
Freiza always liked to keep and eye on his 'little monkey'.
The Icejin smirked as the song ended.
He now had a way to break them both.
Vegeta wouldn't need the beatings as frequently once he was done.
Yes. The monkey would soon break.
And to get Vegeta to submit, he would need both of the girl's...
MESS HALL...
Bulma patiently waited for Anna and Vegeta as fast as she could.
Raditz was with her and Bulma felt safe.
Anna entered the room five minutes later and grabbed the last piece of bacon.
"Oi! I was gonna have that bacon!" Jeice yelled.
"Yes, well... Too freakin' bad." Anna smiled and ate it.
Jeice turned an even darker shade of red.
She turned and ran when he grabbed a butter knife.
Everyone was starting bets now, and Anna had 1,000 moneys on her head.
Bulma knew Anna was going to win, so she put all of her money ($2.50) on Jeice losing.
Anna was cornered.
She took a breath and started to do what she did best.
She started to dance.
Jeice stopped in place.
What the Hell was this?
Anna was now break dancing.
Nodding her head to him, Jeice took this as a challenge.
Now, the red alien took challenges serially.
A dance battle broke out.
And Anna was winning.
After half an hour, Jeice was about to pass out.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Anna moved her leg as swiftly as a cat, and broke Jeice's right foot.
"See, this is why you shouldn't challenge me in wits. I will drag you down and I will beat you." Anna smiled.
Bulma started cheering.
"I WON! HAHAHA! I WON THE BET!"
A chorus of groans were heard.
Anna helped Jeice up.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Helping you to the tanks."
"Why?"
"Just shut up and accept my help."
LATER...
"Five days. Five days. And not a normal five days. NOOO! We just can not have normal in my life. Stuck on a spacecraft. And to make things better, we're in space! I can't wait until we go home..." Anna was in the middle of a ramble feast when Vegeta tapped her shoulder.
"Hey, we need to talk." he said.
Anna noticed how dark the princes expression was.
She just stared at him.
"Vegeta, whats going on?"
"Its Freiza. He wants you in a plan."
"What?"
"He wants you to be my downfall. You need to be careful, alright?"
"Yes sir."
Anna stood up and hugged him.
When she pulled away, they were both blushing.
"Wh-what was that for?" Vegeta asked.
"I needed a hug."
Reviewing is amazing. I know I just did a cliffy, but I needed to do one. DON'T KILL ME!
