Vegata 18

Eva 18

Bulma 16

the sun slowly dripped through the small windows of Eva's new bedroom in her own house. She yawned softly, stretched and rolled out of bed slowly. Putting on a robe she walked out onto her 3rd floor wrap around porch. Her house was made of metal that absorbs sunlight and insulates the house without using electricity. Which was important since she chose to build this house on a side of the only snow covered mountain on Planet Vegeta. The mountain's peak was the highest elevation on the planet. It reminded her alot of home, with its crisp cold air, the weekly snow falls and the thin drifting clouds that would wrap around the mountain and sometimes through her house.

She smiled leaning against the railing, her hands touching a thin cloud passing by. Last night's snow fall left a few inches on the porch but she didnt mind, the cold snow that brushed on her feet felt cool to the touch. Her body temperature was always so much higher than even the hot blooded Saiyans. The whisps of snow fell off her large house down past her, she closed her eyes, lifted her head and breathed out in content, her breath coming out as white puffs. She opened her eyes as she heard a beeping from inside. Without turning around, "Computer open video communication via 3rd front porch." The beeping stopped and a large blue hologram screen popped up next to her. Bulma smiled happily looking at Eva until she realized she was outside.

"EVA! Why are you outside? You will catch a cold if keep going outside in the morning with all this snow." Eva smiled and turned her head towards Bulma who was huffing her arms crossed. "Honestly, I dont understand. The King allowed you to choose ANYPLACE on the planet to build a place for yourself away from others and you choose some ridiculous snow covered mountain?! That is the biggest waste of a reward given to you for making that force field for the planet." Bulma winked at her and gave her a thumbs up. "Which was not bad by the way."

Eva laughed softly as Bulma teased her. "Well, you gotta admit, once I get these tele porters finished and you make the multiple copy components of the force field into capsules, we both will be the most recognized scientists in the universe." Bulma jumped up and down excitingly and squeeled excitingly. "I know right! Bardock won't have nothing on us!" Eva laughed loudly at that. Bardock had been proud of both them, especially at how Bulma recovered after the incident 2 years ago. But he still acts as a teacher and parent to both of them, scolding them from time to time and telling them they could do better but you could tell he was proud, his eyes shined whenever he saw either of them.

"Anyway, business aside. Girl talk Eva!" Bulma blushed softly, her eyes shimmering brightly as she sat in a chair having an infamous large cup of coffee. Eva looked at the cup with humor. Ever since Bulma tasted coffee when she returned to Earth, she was hooked. She would spend hours doing work, bothering Eva at the wee hours of the night or playing with a certain gentleman she has been telling Eva about. Eva sat on the railing on her porch, the blue screen rotating in front of her. She raised a hand and a small blue hologram keyboard appeared before her. Typing something quickly, she smiled as she heard her house start up. In minutes she would have her own hot beverage of choice.

"So when will I know the name of this young strapping man? More than that will I ever meet him? I am starting to think he is fake Bulma." Eva teased shrugging and shaking her head with a small smile on her face. Bulma eyed her over her coffee cup. "I swear Eva, you are changing more and more! I love it!" Bulma placed her coffee cup on a small floating table with a huge smile on her face. "If you keep this joyous nature change you might FINALLY get a boyfriend. Like me" She placed the tips of her fingers on her chest proudly, her head tilted up, one eye closed.

Eva shook her head again. "Anyway Bulma, what did you have to tell me of the gent?" Bulma gasped placing her hand on her mouth in surprise. "Jeez I almost forgot! Last night we hit it off really well Eva! He is so shy Bulma, he told me that I am the first girl he has met that was so beautiful and smart! He even said I was like a dream to him..."Bulma sighed placing her chin on her hand leaning against her knee. After a few minutes of silence Eva ended up snapping her fingers to get her attention. "You are on cloud 9 Bulma. When do you see him next?" Bulma rose up and smiled bigger.

"Well thats the big news I wanted to tell you Eva! He is moving in today!" Bulma rose hands up in glee and Eva almost fell off the railing. A small floating robot came in with a tray of hot strawberry, blueberry tea and a small dish of sugar rocks for to put it in. Eva recovered herself, her eyes still wide. She showed the small robot 3 fingers. As she spoke the robot started to put 3 sugar rocks in the tea and stirred. "Bulma you have been going out with him for 6 months! Dont you think that is a little too soon?"

Bulma huffed and shook her head. "Your always so straight laced Eva. This...this isnt like last time..." Sadness slowly shined in her eyes. Eva took the cup of the bright red tea and took a deep breath of the smell, it was heavenly. "Bulma, you have come a long way from 2 years ago. When you left here, you looked...empty is a better word for it. With this new guy I have finally seen the life come back your eyes and seen you happier than you ever were." Eva smiled softly and she took a small sip.

She gave the robot two more fingers and placed the cup back on the tray, it nodded and added 2 more sugar rocks and stirred. Bulma smiled at her softly. "I know, its all thanks to you Eva. You were always there for me, asked the king if I can go back home and more than that you stayed my friend when I needed you the most...but I have a question Eva." Eva looked at her as she put down the perfect tea from her mouth. It was just right, she gave the robot a nod who let go of the tray which became a floating table. She put her cup of tea onto the table to let it cool down. "Whats the question Bulma?" Bulma started messing with the hem of her shirt, something she did whenever she was nervous.

"Eva...do you still love him?" Eva looked taken aback. Out of all the questions, she did not expect that one and she blushed softly and looked away. "Bulma I dont remember telling you that I loved him at all...I dont love that man...what he did was unforgivable...even tho the reasoning behind it was for-" She hmphed anger flashing in her eyes. Bulma smiled a cashere cat smile and gave her a half eyed stare. "Eva, I didnt know you could lie or worse be in denial." Eva's eyes grew wide, blush deepened and her mouth gaped open. She was too shocked to respond.

Bulma made her smile softer, sadness no longer in her eyes, only happiness. "You know, I moved on from what happened 2 years ago. I was young, naive and needed a little heart break to grow up. I now have a man that genuinely loves me more than life itself and treats me like a goddess." Bulma sighed happily looking off into the distance but then gave Eva a side glance. "Isnt it time for you to fall in love Eva?" Eva grasped the snow covered railing tightly and looked down at the ground. Her eyes filled with sadness. Bulma leaned in and spoke softly.

"Listen Eva, you are the only one whose heart is still holding onto the past...let it go. I may never be able to talk to the egotistical prince who is stuck on an infinite high horse with a stick in his ass. But I will be the first there rooting for you. You just gotta jump and fall into it." Eva looked up at her the sadness in her eyes making Bulma lean back. "Bulma you took a jump like that too and it almost broke you...why should I do the same?" Bulma looked at her aghast, crossed her arms and glared at her. "What is this?! Eva, the princess of the Valkyries scared of falling love." Eva looked at her shocked and then smiled. Bulma always knew what to say to bring Eva back to reality.

Bulma snapped her fingers at Eva and looked at her sternly. "Listen you! You are the strongest most confident woman I know, that needs NO man! But it is because of that a certain fellow needs YOU!" Eva grinned up at her shaking her head softly. "Bulma, you say the weirdest things but at the same time its so refreshing." Bulma grinned back at her and started waving. "You have two years before returns anyway. Get your heart together and win him over! I gotta get things ready for Yam- my fellow to come over. I will call you later and you better have that tele porter almost ready so you can meet him in person!" She winked at her and Eva nodded a smile still on her face. "I will jump on it after this Bulma. I will talk to you soon." They waved good bye and the large blue holographic communication screen turned off.

Eva sighed and felt the warmth of the sun rise and hit her. Grabbing her cup of tea she sipped it, it was the best temperature, not too hot, not too cold. She leaned on her railing and saw clouds coming over the mountain top. Snow flakes started to fall softly, Eva smiled and held her hand open as the snow flakes land upon her palm. She thought about what Bulma said and remembered one of the few moments that her and the Prince had that was the most memorable. Smiling, she closed her eyes and fell leaned on the railing more as the snow started to fall more.

10 YEARS AGO FLASHBACK

Both 8 year old Vegeta and Eva had just finished their sparring match. It was one of the few wins that Vegeta had won, it was close too. Both looked roughed up, and beatened to almost a sliver of life left and they both loved the feeling of everything used up and how they both were getting stronger. Both of them were sitting on low hill top looking at the desert and the sun setting in the horizon. Vegeta watched as the sun was getting lower and gave Eva a side glance and saw her hair glisten brightly, orange sparkles rolling off her the red locks.

Eva noticed his glance and looked at him and smiling, causing him to blush softly and look away making Eva confused. He looked at the ground and said softly, "You never answered my question..." Eva tilted her head even more confused. Vegeta looked at her sternly. "That morning when I asked you why your hair shined that way." Eva picked up a couple locks of her and watched as the orange specks glittered off. Eva looked back at the sun setting flopped on her back and watched as the stars were slowly appearing as the sun started to disappear.

"My mother told me a story when I was younger. Every night before I went to sleep she told me a different story of our past but this one was my favorite." Vegeta raised an eyebrow at her, still sitting up. Eva smiled at him and then stared back at the stars. "My mother told me the story of the two wolves. Wolves on my planet are the best! They beat dragons, demons everything! The only ones that could maybe even match wolves are foxes."

"Get to the point princess." Vegeta huffed, he wouldnt admit that he was interested in the small story but only because it was the first time she told him anything about her race.

"Anyway, this story are about two wolves that live in everyone, and comprises of their soul. Some wolves are black, white, blue but they there always 2 in each person. Mother told me that each Valkyrie has two animals made of flames. One was black flame and one was red flame. Now depending on the size of the animals depends on how powerful that Valkyrie is. The black flamed wolf consisted of dark emotions, greed, anger, jealousy, and hatred while the red flamed wolf consisted of the good emotions, honor, glory, happiness and love." Vegeta looked at her with deep interest.

"Mother told me the reason why her and my hair radiate in such a way was because our line are from Valkyries of old whose were always know to have the strongest of flaming wolves. The red sparkles that are only seen through the suns rays are results of the wolves always fighting within ourselves."

"Who wins the battle?" Vegeta asked staring at her. Eva stared at the now dark night, the stars twinkling brightly, sadness in her eyes. "Whichever wolf the person feeds more..." Eva sat up and looked at Vegeta who gave her a blank expression.

"Vegeta what is your dream?" Vegeta looked at her shocked, but then huffed, crossing his arms. "What a stupid question. I want and will be King. Also I will achieve legendary so that I may destroy the Cold empire once and for all." Vegeta closed his eyes nodding. "I hope one day to settle and watch the days go by with the one I love most..." Vegeta looked shocked against looking at Eva who was feeling content watching a star fall. "I know I will make a decent Queen...I was bred and raised for such a task since I was born. But I hope to marry someone out of love rather than convenience ..." Eva glared at the ground. "That is such a girly dream and weak!" Vegeta proclaimed turning his head away.

"Vegeta." Eva said softly making him look at her. He gave her a peculiar look as she smiled at him softly. "If you married someone out of convenience rather than love, wouldnt you get bored out of your mind and not challenged? After all, the Prince of all Saiyans needs to be entertained every second of his life or youll end up destroying something." Eva laughed, the laugh sounding like clear bells. Vegeta's mouth gaped and he blushed softly and looked away suddenly. "What is your favorite thing in the entire world Eva?" He said softly. Eva looked at him her eyes wide and she flashed him another smile.

"Thats simple, its our fights together Vegeta. We both love to train and fight and get better! But i think a close second is watching the sunrise especially during a cold day." Vegeta stood up and started to walk away. He couldnt let her see the deep red blush he felt on his face. "Its time to go home princess." He said sternly. Eva nodded and followed him as they both burst into the sky.

END OF FLASHBACK

Eva opened her eyes and sipped her tea. The snow was starting to thicken causing her to breathe out another white puff. (E) I guess I should get started on the teleporter so I can finish it today...no point in thinking about the past sigh... Turning around, she walked into her room and picked up a capsule. Bulma sent her capsules filled with Earth clothes practically every other week. Smiling she popped the capsule and saw the outfit for the day. It was a black dress with buttons up the front like a petty coat with long sleeves.

The dress went down to her mid thigh and black stilettos. Eva looked at the stilettos with a look of disgust. Bulma knew she hated these types of shoes...but Bulma insisted that she wore them, she considered them "essential" for every female to learn how to walk in them. Sighing she put the dress on top of her white laced underwear and then the black stilettos. She wobbled as she put her long hair in a pony tail. She glanced at the mirror, blushed at the slightly scandalous clothing at first but then sucked up, stood tall and confidently head out of her room.

Her house entire consisted of 3 floors. The third floor was the bedroom, bathroom and the large wrap around porch. the second floor is the kitchen, living room and dining room as well as the main entrance. In the basement was the lab that she works part of the time with the physical part of her operations as well as her training room which becomes a digital scenery that allows her to safely train her powers without being interrupted. But that is not where she is going. Her favorite place to relax and ironically to work on programs was the tower attached to the house. It was a winding library that went up 3 stories along with the house. on the ground floor of the library was a large maple wood table that had her hologram computer, notes piled everywhere.

There was a window from the ground floor to the top of the of the tower behind the desk, letting light shine through as the snow blew past the window. She entered the library and saw the endless amounts of books that she has read. Some were for research of the tech she always is working and about a third of the books were for her entertainment. Looking at her cup she realized her tea was almost gone, she sat down at her hologram computer that she built herself and typed in another order for another cup.

Sighing, she leaned back in her chair, so many thoughts running through head. "Isnt it time for you to fall in love Eva?" She repeated Bulma's words softly. Beeping from the communicator interrupted her thoughts. Leaning back toward the desk she pressed a button and started the meeting she had to start with the other scientists at the palace. "Good morning gentleman." Eva nodded, her troubles being pushed to the back of her mind. "Good morning Princess Eva." The 7 old Saiyans bowed to her.

"Im about tell you the finishing results of the tele porter that I will be finishing today. The prototype worked fabulously yesterday and I will begin the final stage. More importantly I want to tell you about the next project." The scientists eyes gleamed in excitement as Eva smiled. "A chamber that slows time in another dimension while the present time keeps moving. A hyperbolic chamber." The scientists gasped at the idea of making another dimension causing them to mutter to themselves. Eva sat back and watched them cluck like chickens with a smile, they always underestimated her.

On another alien planet on the other side of the universe

Three space pods landed on the barren green planet. The dirt itself was black and green but nothing seemed to be crawling on the planet. Each of the space pods opened revealing the three Saiyans that were there to purge the planet. Vegeta scowled as he looked that seemingly dead planet. He looked over his shoulder and glared at Nappa. "What life does my father want us to clear on this planet. I feel no life forms on this planet nor does my scouter pick up any civilization on this disgusting surface." The large bald Saiyan pulled out a small tablet and pressed a couple buttons.

"Sire, it seems there are life forms underneath the crust, living in caves." A hologram pulled up showing the three Saiyans the creatures they faced. They were the size of humans but sickly thin, sharp ears and teeth. Their skin was pale white and their eyes were pitch black. They have pointy fingers with gleaming black claws. Radditz, the medium sized Saiyan with long spikey hair scowled at the disgusting creatures. Statistics of the creatures showed their fangs and claws were poisonous making any physical contact avoidable if it can be helped.

Vegeta hmphed and raised his hand toward a mound on the crusts surface. "Lets put these creatures to the test..." He grinned sending a ki blast destroying the mound and creating a large whole in the crust. Seconds passed and then, just like coach roaches the creatures swarmed from the whole screaming shrill voices into the air, running on all fours toward the three Saiyans. Radditz was jumping up and down with a grin on his face, trying to get his blood flowing while Nappa put the tablet away and put the same grin on his face, his fists clenched at his sides. Their leader took a step towards the wave of creatures a smirk on his face. His fist raised slightly in the air to his eye level and clenched it in anticipation.

"It seems that the barren desert is thirsty...lets give it something drink. Slaughter them." Vegeta extended his hand and pointed it towards the creatures, signaling his comrades to fly in the air and start sending blasts upon blasts of ki to the creatures. Explosions, blood, fire and light filled both sky and ground. As Vegeta was about to jump into a group, preferring to rip the creatures apart with his bare hands he thought the same thing he always thought before he was sent to battle. Giving a blood thirst look to the creatures and deep smirk the words wrapped around his head. (V) She would love to be in this battle...

3 HOURS LATER...

Raditz and Nappa finished blasting the bodies of the creatures turning them to ashes as Vegeta took a seat on top of a rock over seeing the carnage the laid before him. All three them had dirt on them, covered in sweat and the creatures blood. No injuries were on them what so ever. Vegeta gave the battlefield a stern look before looking at the sky looking at the stars, one particular red one which was his home planet.

Making sure Radditz and Nappa were occupied, he pressed a button on the small bluetooth scouter to pull the picture he has seen a million times. Each time tho that he saw the picture, his gaze would soften just a tad. (V) Halfway there...halfway there..when i get back, you will be mine...my Queen…we will take everything by force...

Unbeknownst to the Prince, Nappa was watching him from the corner of his eye. When they returned to the pods and started toward space for the planet, Nappa turned on his scouter and started communications who ordered him to send to report every little event; the King.

"Nappa Report." The King said gruffly.

"Yes my Lord. The Prince has become an exceptional leader and warrior in battle. Several times he has analysed whether to be diplomatic or to purge the planet each time being reasonable and bringing glory to our empire…"

"There is more Nappa…what are you hiding." Nappa sighed. He didn't want to inform the King that the prince's infatuation was growing…He thought about it and decided he will have to analyse the prince's actions more before making a decision. "It seems that the Prince is taking delight in battle sire, I believe he is slowly forgetting about the princess my lord."

There was a pause from the King, as if he was trying to feel whether or not Nappa was lying. After Nappa thought he found out the King responded, "Very good Nappa. Keep me updated on the next mission as well." "Yes my lord." With that the communication ended and Nappa started the hypersleep program so that he can rest and heal before the next mission.

After 3 months of travel and a gruelling mission against large spiked fire breathing boar like creatures the three Saiyans rested on the rocks next to their battlefield. Nappa knew it was time to confront the Prince. Being the general of the Saiyan army and counsellor to the King, he knew it was his duty to help the prince. "Radditz." "hm?" The medium sized man looked at him with undivided attention. "Go find a large corpse from the battlefield for us to feast on." Radditz groaned and kicked a couple rocks before shooting off in the sky. Vegeta gave Nappa a distrusting look. Nappa stood up and moved to a rock across from the prince.

"Prince Vegeta I have a…predicament involving you and the King." Nappa said slowly as if hoping he choosing his words wisely. Vegeta glared at him and tilted his head. "Oh? And what would that be Nappa?" Nappa sighed and took off his scouter and put it on the ground, he pressed a button and a hologram screen showing all the recorded messages sent to the King. Vegeta's eyes went wide as he read some of the words on the screen causing him stand up quickly, fists clenched in anger. "Explain Nappa." He said softly and deadly.

"Your father ordered me to watch you carefully during the purge of this sector. I was to tell him every detail and change of your behaviour. Some including how you have adapted well under leadership as well as taking lead in situations. More importantly I have noticed something even more interesting." Nappa eyed him from the side causing Vegeta to cross his arms and glare at him even more. "How you never seem to bed any of the gifts from the alien kings during diplomatic missions. Also how after purging planets you always look at a picture of a certain princess before we return to our pods." Vegeta was shaking from anger. He knew his father sent him away to not only gain experience but also to drive the want he had for Eva away from his system. "So what are you going to do Nappa…or did you tell my bastard of a father about this affair."

Nappa surprised him by shaking his head. "Prince, I am here primarily to mentor not to tattle like some young cub." Nappa smirked at Vegeta. "The look you give before battle is not only for the glory for our empire but also for her isn't it? The same goes for when you take that mask of defiance off after battle when you look at her picture…that to me is growth of not only a great king but a great man. No ill respect to your father but he should know better. He did have your mother for a mate for the same reasons."

With that Nappa walked off to drag Radditz from underneath the corpse that fell on top of him as he returned to the pack. Vegeta gazed at Nappa as he walked to other Saiyan and for some reason the determination he had before was given confirmation of being the right choice. Vegeta smirked and stared at the stars again. "Stupid father, you're the only one that doesn't think it is right." He said softly before you turned the picture on his scouter for a glimpse of HER before the meal with his comrades.
