Sorry I took so long to update! I've had writer's block for a while, but now I'm all cured! Since I took so long, I have a surprise for you guys at the end of the chapter!

Vegeta was in nothingness. He looked around and all he could see was dark, empty space.

Then, two people appeared: Kakarot and the strange boy from the future. And they were… super Saiyans!

They shot Ki blasts at the same time with the same evil grins on their faces.

Vegeta dodged at max speed but that only seemed to be barely enough. He tried to attack them but his attacks had no effect.

The longer the battle wore on, the more exhausted and agitated he became. He fought until he had no strength left.

Kakarot aimed and fired a Ki blast at him. He tried to dodge but he had no strength to move.

The Ki blast engulfed him in pain and he felt himself fading away….

His eyes flew open and he sat up quickly, which he instantly regretted when he felt a searing pain in his shoulder. He took a look at his surroundings: a soft bed with white sheets, a window with light blue curtains, several machines, and a marble floor.

He noticed he was covered in bandages and realized he must be in the hospital room.

He noticed a small wooden desk near his bed and the person sitting there was…. Bulma? He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion.

What the hell was the woman doing here? Surely she didn't care about his well-being.

He decided to ask her himself, not giving a damn that she was sleeping. After all, why should he? He was the Prince of all Saiyans, for god's sake! Why should he care about his servant's happiness?

"Woman." He said gruffly. She didn't stir.

"Woman!" He said, slightly louder. She still didn't stir.

"GREASE MONKEY!" He shrieked. That did it; she bolted awake with a scream of shock.

"Vegeta! What the hell!" She screamed, trying to catch her breath.

He smirked; her pain was his pleasure.

"What do you want, Vegeta?" She asked, calmer now.

It was a simple question: why do you give a damn about my health? It was simple. But Vegeta couldn't force the words out of his mouth.

He felt scared to ask! Scared! Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans, was scared to ask a weak grease monkey a simple question! It wounded his pride.

He leapt out of bed, ignoring the pain, and began to walk out the door.

Bulma stopped him. "Where are you going?"

"To the gravity room."

"ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID!" She shrieked. "You're in no position to be going anywhere! And besides, thanks to your stupidity, the gravity room is a pile of rubble!"

He shot her a death glare. "Out of my way!"

Bulma straightened up. "No."

Vegeta's patience was wearing thin. "Woman, if you don't get out of my way, I'll blast you to pieces!"

She smirked. "Try it."

How dare she insult his patience like this! He pulled back his arm and his hand began to glow a bluish color.

Bulma's expression changed from confidence to fear.

Vegeta smirked. She knew just as well as he did that he was stronger. Hell, he could kill her right now!

But why didn't he want to? That thought was enough to wipe the smirk off his face.

Why didn't he want to kill her? Sure, she could fix his gravity room and make training bots, but so could her father. All she really was was a waste of space. Killing her would at least give him some peace.

So why didn't he want to kill her?

He lowered his arm and his hand returned to normal color. "You're not… going to kill me?" She asked in confusion.

He glared. "Just go fix the goddamn gravity room."

She smirked. "Fine. But you have to stay in bed. If you keep moving, you'll reopen your wounds."

"Why do you care?" He asked without thinking.

"Why wouldn't I?" She said, smiling at him. With that, she turned around and left, not noticing Vegeta's blush and confusion.

….. And so that was the second chapter. Anyway, as a present for waiting so long, I'll give you a preview of the next chapter!

Bulma crashed on her bed and let out a sigh of pleasure; she had been working on the blueprints for a new gravity room for several sleepless nights and just resting gave Bulma immense pleasure.

She closed her eyes and began to drift off to sleep….

"GREASE MONKEY!"

Bulma's eyes flew open and she came face-to-face with a fully healed and very pissed off Vegeta.

What's gonna happen next? I sure don't know! But once I finish that chapter we'll all find out. *smiles evilly*
