00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Beautiful...That was the only word to describe him. Everything he did to her, every touch was on fire.

"A-Ah…" was that her voice? Her moan? She didn't even recognize it as such. She'd never felt this way before. He was leaving multiple trails of fire all over her, with his hands and his mouth and his…everything. She thought she was going to die by suffocation, this was just too overwhelming. She gasped out a little more at his touches and could feel a smirk against her skin.

"Shh...Don't want your dad to overhear and get us in trouble now do we?"

Before she could respond his lips were on hers once more and everything was on fire again. He was everywhere. The only thing separating them was a pair of shorts he was wearing and her underwear. Everything else was thrown about the room lying who knows where. Their bodies were slick with sweat and as he continued to kiss her, it got harder and harder for her to stay quiet.

"Nn….G-Gote….ah!"

He silenced her once more with another kiss

"Shh…" he pulled back and looked into her eyes with a smile. It was loving and lustful at the same time

"Ready?"

She did have a chance to respond as she was woken up by someone shaking the bed. She opened her eyes and groaned a little. It had been such a good dream…and then she blushed as she thought about it some more. What if Trunks had seen it? She'd never live that one down...She checked their connection and frowned a little at how weak it was. It hadn't normally been as weak as that. Usually it was a very straightforward connection and they'd feel and think what the other did. She was brought out of her thoughts as the bed shook again. She looked over and her heart stopped. It was Goten! What the hell was he doing in her bed? Asleep? Next to her?

Her heartbeat picked up a little and she had to take a few deep breaths, after that dream she had just had? No wonder her cheeks were so red and her heart racing so hard.

"Nnmm…" he was mumbling unintelligible things and she couldn't help her slight smile at this. She reached over and cautiously brushed his hair out of his eyes while she whispered

"Goten?"

"Hmm..?" he nuzzled into the bed more

"Wake up my Goten…" she moved a little closer to him to touch his arm but he was quicker and grabbed her with both arms, pulling her on top of him.

"Eep!" she hadn't seen that one coming. Her cheeks flushed red once more as she looked down to her boyfriend's smiling face. His eyes weren't even open yet! The jerk…

"You can't say that and expect me not to retaliate…My Veala,"

She just let out a breath and put her head down on his chest

"I thought you were still asleep…"

He ran his finger through her hair and slowly opened his eyes. He remembered the night before, when the queen and king came into her room to check on her and then left, asking him to stay with her in case she needed something.

"I was asleep…but you woke me up. That's alright because by the sound of it, you're feeling much better, yes?"

She nodded against his chest and sighed contently

"Yes I am feeling much better,"

Veala yawned and rolled off of Goten to stretch. Then she hoped up and sighed a little. She had wanted that dream to be real.

"So what have I missed? I've been asleep for a while…"

"Hm," Goten stood up and stretched as well while explaining.

"Trunks and Amy are closer than ever…your so called Uncle has gotten your mom's approval so he's staying here, while your dad has made plans to go attack the planet that wants to attack this one…oh and you and Trunks aren't invited to go fight and will have to stay here to rule for a while,"

"What!" She spun around to look at him and saw he was serious

"Are you kidding me?"

"About what? You aren't nervous about being in charge for a while are you?"

"No! I want to go fight! Damnit…"

Goten just started laughing and grabbed Veala into a bear crushing hug.

"I should have just known you'd want to go fight," he chuckled a little and held her tighter.

"But you're not in any condition to go fight anyways; I mean you've been sick for a while. And it almost killed you so I think home is the best place for you right now,"

"I miss all the fun," she got a very Vegeta-like scowl on her face. Goten just laughed again and smiled at her before pecking the tip of her nose.

"Don't worry about it Vey, you'll have plenty of fun here with me, I promise," he had a wicked look in his eyes that made her shiver slightly. Before she could ask him what he meant her brother came walking in the room and she tried to hastily part from Goten who held her tighter in his arms

"No don't move! Trunks already knows remember?"

Veala shook her head and attempted to move once more but he kept her firmly in place

"Calm down sis," Trunks chuckled lightly and then smirked at her

'Aww so cute,' his sarcasm rang through her head and she clenched a fist, sending a blast of KI behind her, right at his stomach, thankfully he saw it coming and extinguished it before it could do damage to him or anything else around the room.

"Whoa! Veala, that's not very nice," Trunks laughed lightly at her attempt to hurt him.

"Oh bite me…" she sighed in defeat and simply turned around in Goten's arms to look at her brother with a glare that rivaled even her mother's. Goten had his arms around her waist and wasn't planning on letting go anytime soon. He had just almost lost her; he wasn't going to go through that again.

"What do you want Trunks? Other than to tease me?"

"I came to check on you Vey because I love you!"

Veala's eyes didn't leave his. Something was up and she wanted to know what

'Alright, what do you really want?' she asked him mentally and she watched as his eyes got that look in them. The look that said they were probably going to get in trouble if she went along with him. Goten knew it as well and he shook his head finally surrendering and letting her go for a moment

"I have to go check in with my dad, okay? I'll see you both later," Goten smiled and swiftly leaned down and pecked Veala's lips, making her blush and tuck her hair behind her ear, like she did every time he'd kissed her so far. It made him smile then wink at her before running off, out the door and down the hall to find his dad.

Trunks blinked a few times then shuddered

"Wow…that's weird,"

"What?" she mumbled and looked down at the ground a little.

"My little sister and my best friend are a couple...It's just weird,"

"Eight and a half minutes! I'm never going to live it down and it's not even my fault! Trunks we're the same age!"

"Oh just give it up sis, you'll always been the younger one,"

She sighed and then looked at him expectantly.

'So what are you up to Trunks? And why do I feel like we're going to get in trouble for it?'

"Because if we get caught we will get in trouble, but that's what we're good at. It's Double the Trouble with us," he grinned and grabbed her hand pulling her with him.

"Where are we going?" she wondered out loud not bothering to question him as he pulled her down the hall.

"The only place where mom and dad won't be able to have spies there to hear us," he said in a 'duh' sort of voice.

"Trunks. You're an idiot…"

"Hey! Be nice, why am I the idiot?"

'We can speak mentally and you want to go somewhere mom and dad can't spy?'

'Well, yeah, what if they interrupt us. When we just speak telepathically they know something's up, we have to do this on the down low,"

Veala rolled her eyes as they slipped down the secret passage way leading from the throne room to their own secret twin hang out. They had built it when they were only seven years old, when their parents told them to go find something else to do than follow them around. It was sort of like a tree house, except it was underground and way more decked out.

"So what're we doing?" she asked him as they settled into their usual spots

"Alright, so here's the plan…."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

Vegeta was pissed off. Who the fuck did his little brother think he was? Ever since they had decided to go with his plan to attack the enemy first, his little shit of a brother had been stuck like glue to Bulma. And it was not okay with him at all. They had been training their asses off for this mission and he wasn't going to let his brother or mate be slacking. He stalked down the hallway and heard laughing; he glared at the hallway in front of him. He despised laughing.

Bulma giggled again as Tarble tried to figure out the machine once more

"No no, like this," she tried to show him how to do it but he ended up dropping the wrench yet again.

"Dang it…I'm just not good at this sort of things," Tarble sighed and went back to watching Bulma do it. He actually was very good at all this, not at her level but he could use tools…he just didn't want to. He wanted to watch Bulma work; it was interesting to him in a way he didn't understand. She wasn't mean to him like everyone else on the entire planet. She believed in him….it was the weirdest sensation. He knew Vegeta didn't approve so he tried to stay away, but it was proving impossible.

"That's alright Tarble, you'll get it eventually," she chuckled a little and focused on her invention once more.

Tarble blushed watching her work and asked quietly

"So My Lady…"

"Tarble just call me Bulma, I already told you it was okay," she smiled at him lightly and then tweaked something on the machine making it hum as it turned back on

"Finally! Bulma you are a genius," she nodded to herself and rubbed her hands together

"Well Tarble? Want to help me try it out?" she grinned and picked up the machine, looking over at him with an expecting look on her face.

"Like hell he does!" Vegeta stomped into the room and grabbed the machine from Bulma, setting it not so nicely down on the other side of the room.

"Vegeta! You ass! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She jumped over and caught the machine as quickly as she could. She let out a breath and then glared at him with all her might, then gently set the machine down and walked over to him, poking his chest with one of her fingers.

"I didn't spend all this time working on an invention to help us win this battle and protect our home at the same time just for you to come in here and ruin all my hard work!"

"Woman, shut the hell up! You've been slacking on your training! It's time to start doing some actual work!" he leaned in with his fists on his hips, glaring down at her. They were almost the same height but she was a little shorter, a fact he never let her forget. He was empowered by that fact, but only until he remembered who he was talking to.

"Watch it Vegeta! I'm doing this at your request, so don't you tell me to do actual work! I've been doing this, and training regularly as well!"

"Like hell you have! I'm your regular sparring partner remember? And we haven't…"

"That's because you've been training with Goku lately while I've been working in here so I've been sparring with Tarble! You would know that but you haven't been speaking to me in case you didn't remember!" she interrupted him and continued to glare at him.

Vegeta looked over at his brother with a glare that could have killed. Tarble tried to shrink back into his chair and be invisible but it didn't work.

"I think it's time for you and Tarble to spend some time apart, before you both do something you'll regret. Like something that would make Tarble lose his right to be here,"

"Are you threatening him? Because that would be a very bad thing to do," Bulma poked his chest a few times, slowly making him back up under the heat from her glare and force of her jabs to the chest. Vegeta grabbed her hand the next time she tried to poke him and kept it away from him with a scowl

Tarble wanted to intervene and to tell them to stop fighting about him, but something told him he'd probably get hurt, so he kept his mouth shut and watched the two with wide eyes.

"Why are you defending him so much? What the hell has been going on with you two... You know what I don't even care! I have things to be doing! Important things that don't involve you two! And you!" He looked at Tarble once more

"You keep your hands to yourself, she's mine!" He let go of Bulma's hand and stalked out of the room, quickly going to find someone to beat the hell out of.

Bulma clenched her fists and hung her head. She hated fighting with Vegeta like this. They were both so stressed out about this battle and what was going to happen. She didn't want to leave the twins here alone and Vegeta wouldn't listen to her at all. She was so frustrated; the only person to listen to her this whole time had been Tarble. He was so sweet, the exact opposite of Vegeta really. He was kind and listened and knew what to say and when….but if Vegeta thought she was going to suddenly fall for his brother? He was just being stupid. She couldn't ever love anyone else like she loved him.

They were both so damn stubborn they couldn't just talk about it. They built up all this frustration between them and it took a long time before they could finally put their prides aside and talk about it. She hated that. She wished he'd just talk to her, but Vegeta wasn't like that and she had to deal with it.

"I have something I need to go do…but I'll see you later Tarble…" Bulma grabbed her stuff and flew quickly to the throne room where she was going to make a very important call to some very important people. Tarble reached out to try and stop her, he wanted to make it better but he sighed and his hand lowered slowly, what was he even doing there?

She grabbed her screen and put her scouter on. It took three tries but finally she got an answer

"Bulma? Is that you?"

"Oh thank Kami…I need a favor…do you think you can meet me at the castle tomorrow?"

"Oh well alright! Would you like both of us?"

"Well since you're never apart yes, and if you could be here as soon as possible that'd be fantastic,"

"We'll leave tonight then, see you tomorrow dear!"

"Alright, see you tomorrow then," Bulma hung up then flew to her room and put her scouter away.

Taking a deep breath, Bulma went and changed into her training clothes and then went to find Vegeta.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

"Trunks are you insane! If mom and dad catch us we're seriously going to die….and really this time! It won't be like when dad always threatens us and then doesn't follow through…they'll actually kill us, and we'll deserve it!"

"Come on Vey, just go with it! You don't want to be stuck here do you?" Trunks led the way down the hall, it was dark and they were just trying to be as sneaky as Vegeta

"Sneaking on the ship to go with them doesn't mean they'll let us fight, knowing dad he'll put us on a pod and send our asses right back here!"

They snuck out onto the deck where the war ships were. Veala nervously followed Trunks onto the ship their parents were taking.

"And you're not even going to suggest a different ship? Mom and dad are going to kill us and I'm going to blame it all on you…I hope you know that,"

"Veala calm your face," he said and continued to mess with controls and settings on the ship, "alright, set for more passengers…training facilities up to par, I think we'll be fine. Now do your stuff and move two other guards to the other ship and we'll stay on this one,"

"Trunks you have a brilliant mind, but I'm just going to put it out there…this is really stupid," Veala went over and messed with the settings on the main control panel

"It's a good thing I know mom's password…" she typed it in and quickly changed who was going in which ship. She pressed okay and sighed, then looked at her brother who smiled with a thumbs up.

"Well, well, well," called a booming voice from the shadows

Veala and Trunks both jumped and lit up their hands with KI ready for whoever was there. They both yelped as they were shoved off the ship by someone they couldn't see

"What the hell!" Trunks tried to find who was forcing them to move and messing up their plans. Veala inched closer to Trunks as their father came into view

"O-oh h-hey dad…." She gulped and after a second she pushed Trunks in front of her

"It was his idea! I didn't want to go along with it!"

"Veala, we need to work on your loyalty skills…"

Vegeta has his arms folded and was scowling at his children lightly.

"So what were you two doing?"

"J-just walking around…" Trunks said with an innocent smile, still standing in front of Veala.

"Walking around?" he asked with a raised eyebrow

"Walking around…" they said in unison

"Not trying to get aboard the ship to go fight with us when we leave in a few days? That's not what you were doing?" Vegeta asked sarcastically, he knew exactly what was going on.

The twins looked at each other and tried to mentally come up with an excuse, but it they couldn't think of one, so Veala stepped out next to Trunks and they both hung their heads and muttered an apology

Trunks rubbed the back of his head and said

"We just wanted to…"

"Go and help you fight…" Veala finished his sentence for him.

Vegeta nodded slightly

"Yeah, I figured that much out, what I haven't figured out is why your mother hasn't changed her passwords yet...I told her you knew them and she laughed at me,"

"So… you aren't mad then?"

Vegeta rolled his eyes

"Mad about what? I was expecting you to try something like this at least once; I'm not going to be angry because you two, as good as an attempt to stow away as it was, are staying the fuck here."

'Well, he's angry, just not at us.' Veala said to Trunks, their father did curse a lot, but not usually in front of them unless he was angry at something. He was usually angry however so it seemed like all the time.

'I'm guessing that's a good thing, because I'd like to live, I don't know about you,' Trunks replied completely frustrated with the situation.

"Father, with all due respect, I think you should listen to us for once and let us come with you!"

"Watch your mouth, boy, I'm in a pissed enough mood as it is," Vegeta said and began to walk back onto the ship to undo what they'd messed up. Veala and Trunks followed him quickly into the control room, both complaining about wanting to go with him.

"You never let us go with you anywhere, every time you and mom go to take over a planet you leave us here! Or when you leave to go make alliances, or to find new ways to make our society better, we always get left behind! Come on dad let us come with you this time, please?!" Veala pleaded with him.

"Hn, how about no," Vegeta said not bothering to turn and look at his daughter. He simply put everything back to the way it was before they messed with it and locked it down, this time with his password so they couldn't get into it again.

"But wh…"

"Veala, Trunks that's enough," he sounded irritated.

"You can't come with us because we need you to stay here and rule the damn planet while we're gone. Otherwise it'd go to some retired council members and I don't want them messing up my planet while I'm away. And you've both been out on missions before to other planets; don't act like you've had to stay here your whole lives. Trunks took over that little blue planet in the south quadrant, Veala you helped Goku with another one. Stop complaining and do as you're told. Hopefully, if things go well, we'll be back in less than a month,"

Vegeta looked at them both carefully and glared a little to get his point across

"Now no more attempts at sabotage, understand? That means you Veala; you have the crafty mind here,"

"Hey! This was Trunks' idea!" she protested

"And who helped him make this plan?" Vegeta finished his settings and password changing and looked at his daughter, he knew that she was the brains and Trunks was the muscle when they did stuff together. It's how they worked.

Veala opened her mouth to say it wasn't her, but she really was the mastermind. He just actually followed through with it. So she closed her mouth and looked down with a pout

"I did…"

"That's what I thought," Vegeta said and grabbed them, dragging them out of the ship and back to the castle hallway. Once he had them back to the main castle floor he let out a deep breath

"Now both of you have guests do you not?"

They both looked at him like he was completely insane

"Is now really the time to be…" Veala started but was interrupted

"Go and be hospitable, while I go and beat the hell out of something, probably Kakarot," he said and turned to walk away

"Dad!"

"What?!" he asked turning around to stare at his daughter

"Would you just talk to mom, instead of beating Goku up again? The last time you did that he was in the hospital for a week….and you're leaving tomorrow night…"

"Unfortunately I'm all too aware of that fact, now off you go,"

"I'm serious! Just go…"

"Veala if I need you to tell me how your mother works I'll ask you, but since I know better than anyone else I won't have too, so go be with the other royals before I assign you each three more training workouts to finish tonight!"

They both jumped and nodded. He wasn't nice with his workouts, one was bad, three would surely end them.

"Yes sir!" and they both flew directly to their rooms to get ready for the rest of the night.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000

A little while later Goku was being hit over and over again in the stomach.

"Who the," Vegeta punched Goku once more, "fuck," he kicked him back towards the ground, leaving Goku groaning slightly as he got up only to be hit again, "does he think he is!"

Goku backed up and blocked the barrage of kicks and punches the King was currently throwing at him.

"Vegeta…?" Goku yelped as he jumped backwards to avoid some more of Vegeta's wrath.

"Kakarot would you stay still? My anger is going to stay pent up unless you let me hit you," Vegeta let out a yell as he shot an energy blast straight at Goku who jumped out of the way and rubbed the back of his head, still watching the blast destroy the field

"Vegeta…this is why I told you to just go talk to Bulma about it…because now our training grounds are destroyed and the entire team that fixes it are getting ready for battle..."

"I don't want to talk to that blasted woman! She's bitchy and annoying and won't listen to a word I say!"

Goku sighed and gave him a pat on the shoulder

"I know you're jealous, but insulting your wife and queen isn't going to get you anywhere. Why don't you just, oh Kami forbid…talk to her about it,"

"Shut up Kakarot I'm thinking…maybe I should spar with her. That's usually where we insult each other and get all our anger out…"

Goku hung his head and then got a big smile on his face

"Well here she comes! So have fun!" he gave his King and best friend a pat on the shoulder and ran for it. This was going to get violent and then very sexual. He knows because he's seen it and wishes he hadn't.

Vegeta turned and saw Bulma and glared at her, but she simply ignored him and walked over to the field, shaking her head

"Really, Vegeta? Destroying the training grounds again?"

"What of it? I thought you had more important things to be doing, with Tarble," he said his brother's name with disgust and then spit to get that gross feeling out of his mouth.

"Vegeta…." Bulma said quietly, looking over at him but he refused to meet her eyes

"Do you honestly think that I'm going to fall in love with your brother and betray you like that? Because if so I'm going to kick your ass,"

Vegeta's eye twitched in irritation. He didn't like the way that sounded vocalized, in his head it wasn't that bad.

"Ever since he got here, you have done nothing but stand up for him. What the hell am I supposed to think, woman?"

"That I'm helping out family? Because that's what happening!"

"Bulma you didn't even know he existed until he crash landed here. Helping out what family, he's a stranger to you, hell he's a stranger to me! I don't…." he stopped himself from talking and clenched a fist; he was trembling slightly from anger

Bulma turned around and went over to him; she was right in his face

"You don't what, Vegeta?"

"I don't want to lose you to him, just because he's so kind hearted and soft," he frowned and looked up into her eyes, she let out a sigh and shook her head

"If I wanted a kind-hearted and soft man I would have gone for Goku when I had the chance. Vegeta I don't want that kind of guy….I want you, in all your annoyingly stubborn ways. That's a challenge and I crave challenges. I like your possessiveness and passion, and have you not known me long enough to know that I only love you?"

He so wanted to just grab her and crush her to him, to take her to their room and to claim her once more. But they had to prepare for the war coming so he settled for grabbing her arm and pulling her into a kiss. It was just a small kiss, but it communicated to her everything he needed to say but didn't have time to. A short but passionate kiss.

Actions always spoke louder than words with Vegeta and Bulma. She looked into his eyes for just a minute, then backed away from him

"Alright, I uh…think I should tell you…my parents are coming to stay with the kids while we're gone…"

Vegeta's eyes widened slightly

"You've got to be kidding me. They're seventeen Bulma! And there are two of them! They don't need babysitting! Why on this planet would you bring your parents here while we're gone?"

"Because I'm worried about them and I want my parents to spend time with them before everything falls to shit okay? Because with this sort of a thing it's bound to happen, besides they love my parents!"

Vegeta didn't want to tell Bulma that their kids, while the loved their grandparents, hated spending time with them almost as much as he did. The old man was always arguing with Trunks over the stupidest things, and his son was always right about the subject but would have to give up to his grandfather simply because he's a king, and Trunks is still just a prince.

And Veala had to spend time with her grandmother who liked to play dress up with her like she was a rag doll, and the poor girl didn't ever do anything about it because it made her mother and grandmother happy.

"Sure they do," he mumbled as he began to walk back into the castle

"I'm going to finish preparing for our trip; I'll see you back in our room later,"

Bulma came running after him and stopped him a second

"Vegeta…I have a bad feeling about all this…I really think we should stay here," she was going to try this one more time and see if it made him change his mind.

He sighed

"I know you do, but we'll be fine. Everything will be fine, I promise,"

Bulma silently wondered how he could keep that promise if he didn't know what was going to happen.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

"Oh come here!" Bulma's mother pulled the twins into a bear crushing hug making them both silently lament their lost freedom. They thought they'd be on their own for once, but they were wrong.

"Hi grandma…" they both said at the same time

"Hi grandpa…" again they said it at the same time and then sighed simultaneously.

Their grandparents just laughed, grandma giggled and held her hands to her cheeks

"Oh you two are just so adorable!"

'Trunks…this is karma for trying to disobey mom and dad…if we beg do you think they'll take us with them?'

'Unfortunately I think that defeats the purpose, so no. But go ahead and try if you really want to,'

Veala sighed and just watched as her mother and father talked about what was happening while they were gone. Once everyone was caught up they went to see everyone off. Goten and Veala stood together, saying goodbye to Goku, both hugging him and saying their good lucks. They then went over and she hugged her parents, then they backed up and linked hands for a minute, but they had to do it when they thought no one was looking. Goku saw the two holding hands and grinned to himself, then winked at Bulma who saw it as well. They knew they were going to get together. Thankfully Vegeta hadn't seen them or their trip would have been delayed for quite a while.

Trunks and Amy also were there saying their goodbyes. Trunks had told his parents he chose her out of all the girls and that they were a couple now. This got an approving nod from Vegeta and a hug from Bulma for both of them. The day seemed to go by quickly. That is until the ships were gone. Then everything was slow and boring.

"Trunks…what are we even supposed to do?" Veala sighed and blew her hair out of her face once more. They were just sitting in the throne room. They wanted to sit on their parent's thrones and it was fun for all of ten minutes, now they were bored.

"Since nothing's going wrong, I guess nothing. We're just here in case of emergency right? So I think I'm going to go break some hearts if that's alright," he chuckled a little. The other royal girls hadn't heard about him and Amy yet and he was heading to tell them all.

Veala sighed and closed her eyes. It was going to be a long month.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

"Aw come on Kri! Don't be such a cry baby!" Jewls finished her routine by almost hitting her in the gut and here she was freaking out about nothing at all.

Ever since the girls had been sent to this castle to live they'd gotten to know each other really well. Delvi and Jewls did not get along at all. Amy was kind of a loner. And Kri was, well Kri. She cried over everything and it drove the girls mad at times. Trunks had been really nice to all of them and tried to give them all equal time with him…or at least that's what he told them.

"B-But y-you a-almost h-hit m-m-me," Kri was about to start balling again but Delvi stepped in

"Come on Kri..Let's get you all dressed up for later…Trunks is coming to talk to us about something,"

Kri instantly lit up and hoped to her feet

"Alright! Do you think he'll want my nails to be pink? Or blue?"

"How about purple? Like his hair. You can match," Delvi suggested.

Amy, who was sitting in the corner of the over sized dressing room reading a book, rolled her eyes. Did they really think Trunks cared about that sort of thing? Well…did he? She didn't think he was one to really care about looks but if that would help she was going to try it.

She shook her head and continued reading. She wasn't going to pretend for him…she wanted them to have a good relationship without the need for her to be fake, about anything.

"What're you going to wear Amy?" Jewls asked her

"Oh I was thinking that what I'm wearing would be fine? Why do I have to change?"

"Oh come on! You look like you're about to go train some more! We need to get you all dolled up, let's go!" Jewls grabbed her and hoisted her up then dragged her into the dressing room. They were always making her do things she didn't want to do, but she only had to put up with it for a little while longer…

Veala walked into the room with the other royals and smiled at them. She had been spending some time with them as well, trying to get to know the future queens and royalty of planet Vegeta.

"Hello everyone,"

They all bowed and she shook her head and held her hand up

"Stop that…" she mumbled

"Yes Princess," they said

"So what are we doing?" she asked them innocently

"We're just getting ready for later! Prince Trunks is coming to talk to us about something and we all want to look awesome!"

Veala just couldn't help but giggle a little.

"Really? So are each of you wearing a different style? I think we should do it like that. Kri can be pink and cute. Jewls can be sexy in red. Delvi what about cool blue? And Amy…I'm thinking purple. Not Lavender but violet,"

They all blinked and looked at each other

"What?" Veala asked

"We uh… didn't think that you did girly things like colors…or clothes…or fashion...or anything really," Jewls said out loud what everyone else was thinking.

"Well my mom is, so I guess I picked some of it up," she shrugged lightly and then smiled trying to offer them some friendliness and some ground they could work with to be at least friends. But these girls didn't seem to like her at all.

"Well let's give it a try," Amy said with a 'what-the-hell' kind of a voice, it was sarcastic but it was meant to make Veala feel better. Amy was dating her twin so they had to get along somewhat.

The girls got to work getting ready and Veala reported back to Trunks

'They're all going to cry. Amy from happiness and the rest from broken hearts,'

'Yes! I'm so excited,'

'Trunks, you're a jerk you know that,'

'Look at our parents…I'm a little angel compared to them,'

Veala smiled a little and chuckled lightly; making the rest of the girls look at her like she was crazy. Veala cleared her throat and said mentally to her brother

'This is why we don't have very many friends…'

'Because you can't stop laughing at my awesome sense of humor?'

'Shut up purple hair,'

'Low blow little sis,'

She mentally kicked him and he yelped, making her smirk a little and then block the bond so he couldn't get her back. Once all the girls were completely ready to go Veala slipped out to go get her brother. She walked down the hall only to run into her least favorite royals. Ren and Lee were standing in the courtyard and rushed over when they saw her

"Princess!" Lee ran over and bowed to her lightly, but he was swiftly shoved to the side by Ren who was as dramatic as ever

"Oh my lovely Veala, it's such a tragedy that that idiot Zale tried to kill you, I'm so glad you're alright!"

"Ren!" he shouted in protest.

"Uh huh. And that's shown by your constant visits to see me…oh wait I didn't see any of you while I was bedridden… funny story right? I don't want to hear excuses right now so please excuse me," she attempted to get away but they were right there in front of her again and she looked up into Ren's eyes with an irritated expression.

"What do you want?"

"I want you to be my girl," Ren said with a smirk and moved closer to her

"Yeah about that," she said while backing away from him, "I'm kind of seeing someone else," she slipped around him while he took that in, "sorry to break it to you but I'm someone else's girl,"

She continued to walk down the hall and let out a deep breath, she was almost at the throne room. But before she could get there she was stopped once more by Ren.

"Aww come on! I was almost there! Just a little farther…" she held her hand out towards the door but there was a Saiyan in the way and she couldn't exactly move him. she then raised an eyebrow and looked up at him

"What? What do you want?"

"Who?"

"Excuse me?"

"Who are you dating!? And how did I not know about it until now?" Ren looked angry and it gave Veala a sort of good feeling in the pit of her stomach. She's made another guy angry because she wouldn't date him. It was oddly refreshing

'Oh Kami Trunks I'm turning into you,'

'Haha, I told you so, it's awesome,'

'Oh shut it,'

She cleared her throat and said rather forcefully

"Ren, I'm not inclined to tell you anything so I suggest you move before I have my Brother and boyfriend move you for me,"

Ren rolled his eyes like there was no way anyone could move him ever and Veala sighed

"I'm dating Goten. He's my best friend,"

"You mean the one who's way below your rank? What the…" Ren didn't see the punch coming so he stumbled backwards as Veala's punch hit him square in the jaw

"Don't you talk about him like he's any less than you, because he's not. He's better for me than you in every way and I love him, so fuck off!" she quickly jumped up and kicked off the top of his head to make it into the throne room, obviously livid.

Trunks cursed internally

"Veala…that probably wasn't the smartest idea in the world…"

"What do you want me to do? He insulted my man!"

"Yeah and he's going to find a way to get back at you for that punch. He is a tough guy remember?"

"So I might be in trouble then?"

Just then they heard a wolf whistle and some laughing

"You'll be mine Veala! I like that feisty attitude, you'll come around I just know it!"

"Oh shut the hell up!" she yelled back at him and hung her head with a frustrated sigh she cursed once more

"I just can't stand some people and he is one of them, when mom and dad get back we're making me and Goten a thing and out in the open so people will leave me alone,"

"Wow…Veala actually cursed and got so mad she hit someone. I'm so proud of my baby sister,"

"Watch it lavender head! I'm not it a good mood right now," she glared at him slightly which only made him laugh.

"Come on let's go break some hearts, it'll be fun! It'll cheer you up, we can even bring Goten!"

Veala just shook her head and followed him to the courtyard where all the girls had gathered. She could tell there would be a lot of crying that night and she was mentally preparing for such an occasion.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

"Sire," the voice was heard loud and clear, the face however was hidden by a cloak

"We've just gotten a report that your son has been uncovered. He's been captured and the Saiyans are heading here,"

"Really? They got that out of Zale?"

"No sir, we believe it was the intruder who told them, although we are not one hundred percent sure," the voice said in an eerie tone.

"Well, well, well, with the Saiyans coming to us, they're leaving their entire home planet unprotected…" the leader stood up and walked over to the cloaked figure

"Prepare the ships; we're heading to Vegeta-sai first thing in the morning. Alert the elite squad they'll be needed, as well as the secondary fleet and the rest of my council members. They'll never expect this, and if Vegeta is still the same man I once knew he'll underestimate us, and that's just the surprise we'll need," if the room had been brighter then evil in his eyes would have been plain to see. The dark words echoed into the mind of the cloaked figure and he bowed to his master

"Yes sir, I will alert them immediately and have the ships prepared,"

"Very good, oh and while you're at it tell the rest of the army to prepare as well, they'll have their hands full with the rest of the Saiyans coming here, but we have the upper hand, oh this is almost too good to be true," the leader smirked evilly as he walked out of the room and down to his personal chambers

"Vegeta will fall this time, and I'll have his kingdom, I swore to my father that I would, and I'm going to make it happen."
