"Lord Frieza, I have some news you might find interesting."
"Just what is it that was so important that you had to wake me in the middle of the night, Zarbon?"
"I did not personally feel it Lord Frieza, but some of the other guards claimed they felt a large power surge from cell 732."
Frieza lifted his head in curiosity, "Cell 732? Which cell is that one Zarbon? I have so many cells in this prison I tend to forget the occupants of each." Frieza said in a non-caring and sarcastic tone.
"It is the cell with Vegeta and the blue haired human, my Lord."
"Oh, really now?" Frieza's eyes glinted with sick excitement. It seemed Vegeta was finally gaining his strength and endurance because of this human. Quite the human she was. He chuckled maliciously.
"Yes. Is there anything you'd like me to do about this?"
"No, Zarbon. I'd like to see how this plays out. I'm very intrigued by Vegeta's power change. Keep tabs on it."

"Why do you believe in me so much, woman?"
Bulma put a finger to her chin, tapping it thoughtfully, "Well…I don't really know, Vegeta."
"So…what you're saying is you believe in me just because?"
Bulma smiled again. Vegeta was getting used to seeing her smile more often. He enjoyed seeing her smile. It was a beautiful smile, and it reminded him of his mother's. It was amazing how she could find a reason to grin at him whilst in this place.
"Well…yeah. I mean you just have so much strength about you. It's your physical strength and mental strength. I could never imagine myself being here for three years, let alone serve in Frieza's army for seven years. When your power flared earlier…your ki it was so powerful. I'm going to work super hard tomorrow on my device! Then you can train harder than you've ever trained before and become that Super Saiyan thing you were talking about."
"A Super Saiyan is not a thing! It is a legend until I prove it to be actuality and I will be living proof!" Vegeta growled.
"And that's why I believe you, Vegeta. You never give up until you've achieved a goal. Me on the other hand…sometimes I get discouraged and blow it off till I find a new inspiration or reason to continue. You're always progressing. Always getting better, improving. You never stop. I wish I had your tenacity."
Vegeta let a small smile crack on his face. He hadn't legitimately smiled in a very long time and that was the closest thing to it. What was this woman doing to him? None of his other cell mates had gotten this close to the Saiyan prince. He had never bothered to tell any of them about himself. But suddenly this strange strong-willed blue-haired woman comes along and he's randomly spewing his life story to her. After three years was this place finally making him go insane? Was he finally losing it?
"You know, I was trying to think of a word to describe you earlier." A blush formed on her ivory skin. "When I was...ahem...staring...at you..."
The Saiyan prince smirked, remembering that moment clearly. "Oh really? And just how would you describe me? Amazing? Perfection?"
Bulma rolled her eyes before angrily retorting, "No, you jackass!" She paused for a moment. "I found that I can't. You're an arrogant, powerful, egotistical, prideful, sarcastic, and yes I'll admit, attractive Saiyan prince, but I can't find just one word to describe you. I found it impossible."
"I already knew that, woman. I thought you were going to tell me something I didn't know." Vegeta smirked smugly at her.
"...Ass."

Soon the two cell mates fell asleep on the bed. Vegeta facing the door, Bulma facing the wall. Their backs still touched in their sleep but they didn't seem to notice or care as much this time around.
Time had slowly passed and Bulma had been Vegeta's cell mate for almost eight weeks now. Currently, she was tediously working on her device for Vegeta. It was nearly completed. Bulma would have completed it sooner had Frieza's henchmen and Frieza himself didn't bug her all the time. She shuddered, trying to erase the thoughts from her mind again. Once a week he would come visit her for some 'fun'. Bulma knew that he had other slaves to fool around with. One week without messing with her was nothing to Frieza.
Bulma stared at her device proudly. She was actually partly glad for the extra time it took. Had she not had the time, she wouldn't have been able to notice flaws and work out the kinks. This device was probably the best invention she had yet.
It was nearly six o'clock once again. Bulma put the finished device in a capsule and hid it away in her pocket. She began to work on the weapons for Frieza. The construction was easy enough and the frames of the guns were quickly put together. She was pondering over what she would do with the bullets when Ki'ilina came to her side.
"Hey Bulma. You ready?"
Bulma nodded, "Yes. My device is also ready for Vegeta to use."
"Really? That's great Bulma!" She then glanced at the gun structures. "These are what you're making for the lizard?"
Bulma laughed. Everyone called Frieza a lizard.
"Yes, these are for his army. I don't know what to do with the bullets though."
Ki'ilina brushed a hand through her ebony hair, "Didn't you say Prince Vegeta was teaching you to use your ki?"
"Yeah, but I don't quite have the hang of it. If I infuse the bullets with ki...it could have a bad result."
"Don't use your ki. Tell Frieza that each soldier must use their own ki. That way you don't get in trouble if they don't work."
"I hope you're right. For the sake of all of us and for all that we're doing..."
Ki'ilina led Bulma back down the familiar hall to her cell. She guided her quicker than normal because she wanted Bulma to give Vegeta the device as soon as possible. They came to the cell door in no time at all.
"Are you sure, Ki'ilina?"
"Yes, Bulma. I'd love to see how it works but I cannot stay. You guys can show me another day."
Ki'ilina opened the door and Bulma closed it behind her. Vegeta was shirtless while chowing down on his meal. Bulma picked up her bowl and handed it to Vegeta.
"Woman, I told you I don't need it."
"Today you do." She grinned at him.
"What are you talking about?"
Bulma pulled out her capsule and out poofed her invention for Vegeta to see.
"Is that...?"
She nodded proudly, "Yup! It's my device. I call it the Gravity Sim."
Vegeta held it in his hands. It was very tiny. "How the hell do you work it? It's so miniscule!"
Bulma laughed, "It's a pill, basically. You swallow it."
Vegeta gave her a skeptical look. "It's perfectly safe Vegeta. I promise. If not, you can take the liberty and blast my head off."
Vegeta smirked at her bold statement.
He put the pill to his mouth and ate it. He waited a moment, letting it settle.
"Good. Now the device works mentally. I designed it that way, so you can train anytime, anywhere without anyone knowing."
"Not bad. That's quite ingenious of you."
Bulma threw him a sly grin, "Thanks, but tell me something I don't know." She winked.
Vegeta's eye brows rose in surprise, but they lowered soon after. That sneaky girl. She used his comment from before.
"So to turn it on, think the works 'Gravity Sim activate'. To turn it off, think 'Gravity Sim deactivate'."
"Won't you be affected by the gravity change?"
"Nope. I altered my earrings to protect me. You have nothing to worry about." She moved her hair to show him her modified earrings.
Vegeta took a deep breath. If this woman was secretly trying to do him in…he'd rip her limb from limb and then burn her body to ashes.
Gravity Sim activate.
A mechanical woman's voice echoed in his mind. It shocked Vegeta for a second. It sounded like Bulma. Vegeta mentally slapped himself. Well duh, she invented it. Who else's voice was she going to use?
Gravity Sim activated. State the level of gravity you wish to engage. Earth's normal gravity is 0 g's.
Vegeta-sei's gravity is 10 g's. I'm Prince Vegeta; I can surely handle 20 g's with no problem.
Changing gravity to 20 g's.
Vegeta felt the gravity around him immediately change. It was pushing down on him. He struggled to stand up, but the pressure slammed his body to the ground with a thud. Vegeta grunted, trying to get back on his feet. He couldn't recover.
Bulma kneeled down beside him completely unaffected by the gravity, "Vegeta it's too much for you! Take it down a few notches!"
Vegeta glared at her, "No! I can handle this!"
"No, you can't you moron! I know you're under intense pain right now! if you don't lower the gravity some your bones will break from the pressure!"
The ebony haired man growled. Bulma was right. He could feel his bones turning.
"The sooner you take it down, the sooner you can master that. Then you can move on to this level! Take it down to 15 g's. Please Vegeta! If you don't then we're all screwed and no one is getting out of here!"
Vegeta strained his head up to see her azure eyes brimming with tears. He sighed angrily. Again, she was right.
Gravity Sim change to 15 g's.
Changing gravity to 15 g's.
Vegeta felt the pressure change. The tension upon his bones alleviated some and Vegeta pushed himself to his feet.
Bulma handed him her bowl of food again, "You're going to need this."
Vegeta took the bowl in an instant and began eating it. He was finished within moments like normal his hands had strained with movement but after the sixth bite Vegeta surpassed it.
"You're adjusting to the 15 g's easily, Vegeta. You'll get stronger in no time."
"One more thing about this device...is it going to...exit my body?"
Bulma tilted her head in confusion. "Huh?" She then understood his question, "OH! Oh no. Heh, no. It won't remove itself from your body naturally. It should have attached to your cell walls somewhere. Your cells won't attack it because I designed it to be non-threatening. The only way to remove it would be surgically. You'll be just fine." She poked a finger at his bare chest playfully.
Bulma gasped as the gravity pulled her into Vegeta's body. Her force pushed against his unstable body that wasn't used to the gravity. They fell to the ground, Bulma laying on top of Vegeta, her face pressed into his chiseled chest. Bulma felt the pressure grinding her bones and she cried out from the pain. Suddenly she found herself sitting up, looking down at Vegeta and her palms were upon his chest.
"I don't know about you, but I'm enjoying this position, woman." Vegeta smirked huskily at her.
Bulma followed his eyes, staring at what he was referring to. She turned a deep shade of red, noticing she was practically sitting on his pelvic area.
She was going to make a remark about his comment but realized she wasn't feeling the pressure. Vegeta continued smirking at her, "I turned the Gravity Sim off when you landed on top of me, which you failed to take note of."
Bulma began to remove herself from Vegeta's person. She was stopped in place when she felt his tail wrap around her slim waist, keeping her close to him. It coaxed her into lying back against his chest again. "Vegeta..." She murmured quietly.
Vegeta wasn't sure what the hell was compelling him to make those actions. Was it the fact that he had been deprived of physical contact for an unfathomable long time and it was finally catching up to him? Or was it like he was thinking before...was he finally going insane because of this place? What Vegeta did know was that he was thoroughly enjoying Bulma being this close to him. He loved feeling her chest rise rhythmically against his.
Before he knew it, the stress from the gravity change had begun to take a toll on him and he was feeling exhausted. Bulma had already fallen into slumber, still lying over his chest. He seemed to care less and less as his eyes closed in slow motion and sleep overcame him.
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Bulma awoke the next morning with a stiff back. She saw that she was lying on the ground on her side. The next thing she noticed was that she was nuzzled into Vegeta's muscled chest. His tail was still wrapped firmly around her waist. Bulma tried to wrestle herself from his tail's grip, but every time she did so, the appendage only held her tighter. Bulma growled in irritation. Vegeta's tail was clearly not going to let her go.
She glanced up at Vegeta's face. He was deep in slumber and didn't seem like he would wake up anytime soon.
Her nose was centimeters from his skin and she inhaled deeply. Vegeta's scent invaded her nostrils instantly. She gasped and let out a low moan. Oh, god it was so intoxicating. He smelled of dried sweat and normally it would bother Bulma, but right now it was highly euphoric. Bulma flipped Vegeta on to his back in a rough manner. Vegeta's eyes blinked open to see Bulma on his lap and leaning towards his face, eyes closed.
Their lips were inches apart when the cell door opened to reveal...
