Preciousjade76: Haha, no problem. I just thought up this story yesterday and had a whole bunch of chapters and now I'm on a roll with this one so until my brain says stop imma keep going. XD

Sweetgilda: Hi there and thanks for reviewing. I'm glad you like it :D

"I did it," Bulma said happily to Vegeta when they met up in his room.

He looked at her with a confused expression. "Did what?" He hadn't asked her of anything more since she had created the ki shield a month earlier.

"I got the wedding postponed by another few months," she replied with a prideful grin.

Vegeta was amazed that she had yet again been able to put of the wedding to Zarbon. "How?" he asked, his shock showing through.

"I wouldn't let go of my pride and my teacher says I need more 'education,'" she said bitterly. "But hey, another five months of time. We have to be stronger by then, right?"

Vegeta smirked and nodded. He was getting closer to ascending; he could feel it. Thanks to Bulma, they had the ki shields to prevent anyone on the ship from sensing them training. It turned out that Bulma had the strength of a first-class Saiyan, which is why he could still feel little fluctuation in her ki despite the restraints. It was giving them an unexpected edge against Frieza. They kept the shields stored in their gravity simulators that they all constantly had set to 250X gravity at this point. She also made these communication devices. They were similar to scouters, but were more durable, smaller, and even though they didn't read ki levels (which they could sense anyway), they could turn invisible just like the gravity simulators.

"We will get out of this," Vegeta answered. "I know we will."

Bulma walked over to him and hugged him, and he returned it playing with her hair. It was moments like these when she was truly happy. Vegeta never lied to her and respected her, which was more than she could say from some people. Vegeta tensed when he felt something poke him in the stomach. He looked down at her and saw a tail.

"When-?" He was about to start ranting questions but Bulma stopped him.

"It grew back today. I've been wrapping it around my waist like you do and kept in under my shirt. Isn't this great?"

Vegeta smirked and started stroking her tail gently causing her to purr. "You tell me," he said smugly. She smirked and took the opportunity to do the same to his tail.

Vegeta let out a slight growl before taking Bulma in his arms and moving over to the couch. He sat her on his lap and the two started kissing, gently at first but soon becoming more aggressive as each Saiyan fought for dominance. Neither wanted to lose. Bulma ended up straddling Vegeta as his hands caressed her butt. She squeaked in surprise when he gave it a soft squeeze, allowing for Vegeta to take control. They both felt each other's hands on their skin underneath their shirts, but stopped when Nappa barged into the room.

The two Saiyan teens looked to Nappa with a blush coating Bulma cheeks and a mild glare plastered on Vegeta's face signaling that he was irritated with the interruption. They were both surprised that they hadn't sensed him coming, and he was equally shocked when he found the two of them making out in the dark.

"You're very lucky I wasn't Zarbon or Frieza," he stated cautiously, not wanting to incur Vegeta's wrath.

Bulma blushed an even brighter red, but Vegeta kept his cool. "What do you need, Nappa?" he huffed.

"Look here," Nappa said handing Vegeta a document while trying to ignore the fact that Bulma was still straddling their prince.

"We are being sent on a mission?" Vegeta asked. Nappa nodded.

"Now?" Bulma questioned. This wasn't what they had planned. Her father hadn't given the Saiyans a mission in a couple months, nor were they scheduled for any since all of the latest jobs were minor ones. "Does he suspect anything?"

Nappa shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe, but these were delivered to me by Zarbon."

Vegeta scoffed. "That fool…probably just feels intimidated by us. How long is the mission?"

"We have a month travel each way and two months on the planet," Nappa explained.

"That's four months!" Bulma shouted. "We only have five."

Vegeta smirked at Bulma then. "Maybe we should finally explain some of the PTO to you. When Nappa says month, he means foremonth, meaning two weeks instead of four, meaning two full months, not four."

"Oh," Bulma said while blushing. She didn't know all of the technical stuff involving her father's business. "But, that's still a long time."

"I've been away longer," he reminded her. Bulma still didn't look happy about being left alone.

"I'm going to go," Nappa said sensing that things were about to get emotionally intense for the two teens. He quietly closed the door as the two stared into each other's eyes.

"I'm afraid," she admitted to Vegeta who was still holding onto her.

"Of what?" he asked rubbing the insides of her thighs. It was never proper for a Saiyan to admit fear, but he would make the exception for her.

"That my father will marry me off when you're gone."

Vegeta nodded. It made sense for her to think this way, but he decided to tell her something to ease her worries for their future.

"A piece of paper stating that you are married means nothing to a Saiyan. Mating is different. It is an unbreakable bond formed by exchanging energy and memories with one another. Even if you have a 'legal document' stating that you belong to Zarbon, the two of us will still be able to mate in the future."

"Really?" Vegeta nodded in affirmation. Bulma flashed a sincere smile his way. "I think I like being a Saiyan better than an Ice-jin." She kissed him gently on the lips and curled into him. She had no plans of returning to her room tonight.

Zarbon was angry. He had been spying on Bulma. He could never hear what she was saying, but he had seen her with Vegeta way too often for his liking. That was the real reason that the wedding was being postponed. Zarbon was only marrying Bulma because Frieza had asked him to in order to keep his precious daughter away from Vegeta, but he would not marry her if she had been doing anything with the monkey. Zarbon didn't really care for her in any way, other than being Frieza's daughter, but he was feeling possessive over her since she had been promise to him.

Besides, she was damaged; not in the sense that she had been tainted in any way, but after the attack she had gone through, anytime Zarbon tried to kiss her or get close to her, she would flinch and push him away. He understood; he really did, but causing other people that pain, he couldn't help but feel she could be a little stronger about it. He was unaware of what she and Vegeta did behind closed doors, and if he had known, he would have probably pushed her further just to show her who was in control.

What didn't get past him was that Vegeta was a threat to him as long as he was on the ship, which is why he asked Frieza to send the Saiyans on the first mission available. He needed time to win over Bulma before the wedding, meaning he needed some time ALONE with her.

"It's a quick mission, Zarbon," Frieza warned. "You have four foremonth to get my daughter's mind off that Saiyan. If you fail, the wedding will be off and I will take matters into my own hands."

Zarbon bowed down to his master. "Yes, Lord Frieza. I will do everything in my power." The only question was what could he really do?
