Hey so this chapter is VERY short but it's because I changed up the story that I'm just going with and so it has the new plot twist that's not necessarily a surprise. But, it's my story and I like it haha. Also, there are a lot of small scene changes/ flips in this chapter. So, to make sure no one got lost, the lines represent the scene change from the sparring grounds to Capsule Corp. Hope you enjoy. Please read and review.

Chapter 3

"Ha! Taking care of Bulma this long must be taking its toll on you Vegeta. You're getting slow!" Goku teased as he threw another punch. He loved having weekly spars with his ex rival and looked forward to them, but sometimes even more than the sparring sessions, he loved to get on Vegeta's nerves. Why not? He was good at it, it was fun, and the worst Vegeta could do to him was punch him, which would just lead to more sparring, which was perfectly fine with him. So there was no way he could lose. "Awww, Come on Vegeta! Give me a challenge. You're making it too easy."

"Stop it Kakarot!" He knew Goku was doing this on purpose. He wasn't stupid. He did it every time. He loved to annoy him. He also knew he wasn't up to his usual strength. It was painfully clear to him when he had to go Super now just to keep up with the clown. But it wasn't the time off from training that was getting to him, and it wasn't taking care of Bulma. She was no burden. No, he knew what it was. He wasn't focused. Every few minutes, Vegeta would stop thinking about his current spar and trace Bulma's ki to make sure she was ok, but every time he did this, he let his guard down and was rewarded with a punch to the face. Damn feelings. He couldn't shake it off. Worry clouded his mind when he wasn't searching for her ki. Where was she? Oh no I can't sense her! Where did she go?! She was in the living room! Why did she leave the living room?! Ok, never mind she's still in the living room... This was the cycle his mind had gone through for the past 2 hours now. He was starting this cycle again right before Goku hit him and sent him hurdling to the ground.

"Vegeta! Are you ok?" Goku yelled as he descended to the crater the shorter saiyan was now laying in.

"Of course I'm ok!" Vegeta replied as he pulled himself out of the dirt.

"Well, you really need to keep your guard up. Or I can slow down for you if you'd like." Goku winked.

"That wont be necessary." Vegeta stated calmly as he powered up and dashed out for an attack.

"There will be a 70% chance of rain tonight for all of West City. So better get on those rain boots and cancel the barbeque cause this beautiful night won't be this way for long. Back to you Gabe."

"Thanks Molly for that forecast. Up next we interview Capsule Corp. extraordinaire Dr. Theodore Briefs and his new capsule product, The Capsule Everflight Hover Car."

Bulma hadn't really left the couch for the past 2 hours. She sighed and looked at the clock. 8:14, 'Wow' Bulma thought 'I didn't even hear from Trunks if he got to Chi Chi's safe or not.'

"Come on out Kakarot! I'm no fool! That didn't hurt you!" Vegeta shouted in triumph as he looked at Goku stumbling out of the mountain side.

"I'm sorry Vegeta, I felt a weird ki fluctuate." Vegeta quickly traced Bulma's ki and found she was fine. It seemed she finally got off the couch and was headed to the kitchen.

"Nice try Kakarot!" Vegeta replied as he threw another energy beam.

"I'll just call Chi Chi to see if he's ok. They should have eaten dinner by now." Bulma said to herself as she got up and waddled to the kitchen phone.

"No, really Vegeta!" Goku yelled as he dodged the energy blast. "I know I felt something!"

'Well the rain has started.' Bulma thought as she got the phone and started to dial the Son's house number, but was shortly hurdled to the opposite wall as an energy blast poured through the house and an all too familiar face walked in through the gap in the house.

"Vegeta!" was all Goku managed to scream out before the prince had dashed off toward West City in the curtain of rain that was now falling. It all happened so fast. He knew he felt something, but the last one Vegeta must have felt before him. Because all he saw was Vegeta's panicked face as he stopped mid punch and then powered up, turned around and flew off toward his house. It couldn't have taken more than a total of 2 and a half seconds. It wasn't until after Vegeta left that Goku felt it too. Bulma was in trouble. Goku turned around to see Piccolo standing behind him. How long had he been standing there?

"You know who it is Goku" Piccolo said approaching his friend.

"I know. But I don't see how it's possible." Goku clenched his fists. "How could Frieza be alive?"

::Short I know. But it's summer for me finally and I'll be uploading faster. Yes I know I said 2 to 3 chapters, but obviously it will be longer. More like 4 to 5. Thanks you guys. Please review. -Dusk2Dawn217
