An indigo-skinned, scaly, fish-faced alien, stands in his ship looking at the planet he will soon invade in order to get the Saiyan for bounty, With the exception of his boots being green, he wears the common armour that most of Frieza's soldiers wear, including shoulder pads and a scouter.

But this man is by no means one of Frieza's men, his power is great and Frieza had considered forcing him to join his ranks but decided he was better when it came to working by himself, the ordinary soldiers would just slow him down.

He had no crew with him; it was just him sitting alone in his attack pod ready to descend onto the large green and blue planet that lay in front of him. His scouter couldn't work from this range but according to the data from Frieza's system this planets inhabitants had a very low average power level and shouldn't be considered a threat. All he would have to do was find the Saiyan and defeat him, Frieza wanted the plant left untouched unfortunately so he couldn't must blow it up in order to gain a quick and decisive warning.

So giving the command for his ship to descend he braced himself so that he wouldn't hit his face because of the impact. His decent was quick as the ship gained momentum a large fire erupted around it due to the friction but it remained undamaged.

When he landed he was irritated to find that he had landed in the wilderness instead of a city and was now surrounded by the roots of some colossal tree which he could not see. He pressed his scouter's button and it immediately came to life searching for the highest power level which would no doubt represent the Saiyan.

After several minuets it continued to only find irritating low power levels before, finally it found the highest power level. But what happened next concerned the fish-faced alien greatly. Instead of just finding the one high power level he was shocked to find several, the other power levels weren't as high as the main one but they were high enough to cause issue if they were working together against him.

Hoping they weren't working together he blasted of in the direction of the power levels top-speed hoping to cover the entire distance in just a few minutes.

Elsewhere, Vegeta was currently carrying Bulma onto the school bus before placing her gently in her seat. Despite the fact she could have probably been given a few days of off school her parents were making her go saying that there was no real reason not to do so.

The doctor had officially told her that her leg was broken and given her some crutched to use so as not to cause it further injury, but of course Vegeta wouldn't allow this. Since he was still blaming himself for her injury he insisted on carrying her whenever possible-despite her constant protests about how stupid the idea was- and despite initially not liking being treated like she could not take care of herself she find that she quiet liked the feel of being in his strong arms so often, so reluctantly she allowed him to carry her around but was now slightly embarrassed as he made it clear he would continue to do so at school when he picked her up for the bus.

They had almost identical schedule so she could easily do this all day long, to her absolute chagrin, as she felt ridiculous acting like this in front of everyone. It was like she was made of glass, but on the other hand… Vegeta was letting his guard down-however slightly- so she couldn't stop his doing this without risking him raising his guard again. It was unavoidable; she'd just have to live with constantly being in Vegeta's warm embrace until he got over his misplaced guilt.

"Awww, Vegeta it's so cute you taking care of Bulma like this" Chi cooed from behind knowing this type of comment would defiantly send Vegeta off the deep end.

"I am not cute you harpy!" he yelled making her smirk at her successful attack on his pride.

"Vegeta don't yell at Cheech!" Bulma mock-scolded before moving further onto him and having him give her a 'Veggie-hug' in public-something he would never do if he wasn't so guilt ridden, but she couldn't resist.

"Yer your right, you two being all cuddly is far from cute, isn't it?" Chi asked sarcastically but this time Vegeta merely sneered at her.

"Come on Chi, leave them alone" Goku intercepted preventing the situation from getting any worse, "After all, if we don't encourage this kind of behaviour from Vegeta he'll go back to being all grumpy" Goku finished childish with a sad face being pulled when he said grumpy.

"I'm not grumpy, Kakarot" Vegeta retorted with an increasing amount of irritation about what was currently going on.

"Yer you are" Chi announced proudly and everyone else even Bulma murmured their agreement with what Goku had told him.

"Humph" was Vegeta's ever witty comeback before he turned and started looking out of the window again showing that he was no longer listening to anything anyone was going to say to him.

"Goku, now look what you've done" Bulma gestured to the sour look on Vegeta's face as if he couldn't hear, or see her despite her being literally inches away from his face and currently sitting on his lap.

"What did I do?" Goku asked genuinely confused by Vegeta's reaction when he was trying to stick up for him.

Bulma went to tell him what he had done but didn't bother instead opting to take a quick nap since Vegeta wasn't going to be talking much for the rest of the bus ride and she was still on some pretty strong painkillers as well that made her drowsy, so she snuggled into Vegeta before shutting her eyes and using his body as a pillow as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
