I couldn't stop writing once I got started. As soon as I got back from work I grabbed some food, turned on my pc and started typing!
I'm sorry if it's a bit messy in this chapter, but I tried to use some of the original story and mix it with my own. I hope you like it!
Please review!
Disclaimer: I still don't own DBZ, unfortunately, if I did Vegeta and Bulma's relationship would have gotten a lot more attention!
As soon as she arrived, Bulma took out the timestopper. When she had activated it she uncapsulated an airbike before capsulating the timemashine and drove towards Capsule Corp. She stopped outside the big building and capsulated the bike once again. As she went inside she looked at the clock on the wall. 5:20 in the morning. It was a new habit of hers to stay up till late and work on her project. In the time she was now, she had valued her sleep, so Bulma took off towards her bedroom.
As she went up the stairs Bulma felt a pull towards her room. It grew stronger with each of her step, and when she opened the door, she couldn't move in any other direction than her bed. She saw her old self, legs and arms all over the bed and a bit of salvia from the left corner of her mouth. 'Do I really sleep like that?' she thought to herself before stretching her arm forward.
When she touched her old self Bulma felt like the pull in her would rip out all her internals, but just as quickly as the pull started to hurt it quickly disappeared. Bulma looked around and found that she was lying in the bed in the same manner as her old self. Before she fell asleep, Bulma concluded with satisfaction, that she had managed to go back in time and take over her own place – as weird as it sounded.
"Bulma," Krillin said slowly, "are you okay?"
"I'm fine," she said and looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "Why do you ask?"
"It's just… You seem different."
Bulma felt her heart race increasing and her palms became sweaty. They would arrive at Namek in three hours, and it could compromise her whole plan if Krillin found out, that she was from the future. She decided to start a fit, because she knew Krillin would instantly back off.
"Different? Different how?" She slapped both her chins with her hands. "Oh my god, am I getting wrinkles? Oh no, my beautiful young face! Krillin, are you telling me I'm starting to look old?"
As she had expected Krillin took a few steps back. "No Bulma, not at all. You still look young, young and pretty! It's just…" 'Damn Krillin, knock it off,' she thought while crossing her arms in front of her. "You act different. I know you miss Yamcha, but you're usually not this quite."
"Can't a girl mourn in quite without being questioned?" Bulma stomped towards Krillin in an attempt to hide her shock. She had forgotten that one of the reasons for their trip to Namek was to revive Yamcha after he was killed by Vegeta. She quickly turned away from Krillin and sat down in her chair. Her eyes were filled with tears by the mere thought of Vegeta, even the memory of him and Nappa coming to Earth in an attempt to kill Goku and all humans.
"Man, why is it always me?" she heard Krillin murmur.
"Because you always stick your nose in other's business, Krillin," Gohan said and tried to hide his chuckle.
"Hey, Bulma, I'm sorry," Krillin said and put a hand on her shoulder. "We will revive Yamcha and the others, I promise."
Bulma just nodded, she didn't dare to speak up. She was afraid her voice would break.
When they landed Bulma were the first to leave the ship. Krillin and Gohan gave each other a confused look. Dr. Brief and Bulma had talked about how they should walk around at Planet Namek if the air wasn't breathable, and yet she just left the ship without second thought.
"What are you waiting for guys? We have some Dragonballs to find!" Bulma were more enthusiastic than ever. Soon she would see Vegeta. He wouldn't recognize her, she knew that, but seeing him alive and well was all she wanted right now. Or at least, she would see his spacepod and know they were on the same planet.
As soon as Gohan gave her the Dragonradar they heard it; the sound of a spacepod traveling towards the Planet's surface.
"A Saiyan space-ship!" Krillin yelled.
"It's Vegeta, he's here," Gohan said a bit tense.
"Oh shit, this isn't good," Bulma said while faking worry. Inside she jumped up and down in glee. Only a few more minutes and she would start her plan.
"Gohan, push your ki down! We can't let Vegeta know we're here. We stand no chance against him." Krillin took of his hat and threw it at the ground in frustration.
"He's healed already?" Gohan asked in disbelief.
"Yes, and he's going to be after the Dragonballs as well. Bulma," he said and turned towards her, "send a message to Earth, saying we need help. Gohan and I will go and find the balls."
Bulma passed him the Dragonradar and walked into their ship. "I will call my dad and have him make a ship for Goku. He will be here in two months!" She heard Gohan and Krillin talking before a second pod came into the atmosphere. 'Shit, I forgot all about the second pod! Who's in it anyway?'
She ran outside and looked into the sky as the others did. "Man, another Saiyan ship. But how?" Krillin said.
"I guess you guys just have to stay out of that area," Bulma said, eager to start her plan.
"Yeah, I guess so," Gohan said slowly.
"I was about to get into contact with my dad, I'm going to check up on it. Take care of yourself guys!" She walked inside while trying to hide how much she wanted to start what she had come to Namek to do.
After having contacted her father, Bulma stopped the time. She looked at the device. 5 hours. She hoped it was enough. She ran outside and uncapsulated a small airplane, which had a Dragonradar built in it. She flew towards the nearest cluster of Dragonballs. On the ground she saw Krillin and Gohan, who by foot was heading in the same direction, only time had stopped for them while she could still move freely.
She quickly found the village and even though she had expected it, she was a bit taken back by seeing Frieza. She thought about killing him while the time was stopped, but decided not to. If things went as they should, her killing Frieza would take a great deal of pleasure from a certain Saiyan.
Slowly she took the four Dragonballs in Frieza's possession. Even though she knew they couldn't see, feel or harm her, the doll-like creature, the pink lump of fat and the green-haired blue-skinned man still intimidated her. After putting them in the storageroom of the ship she found the fifth ball with the Dragonradar.
"Okay," she said to herself, "only two more to go!"
She eagerly jumped into the airplane and took off once again. She had used 42 minutes of her five hours and she was positive everything would go as planned.
And so it begins! Hope you liked it. Hopefully I'll write the next chapter tomorrow, I don't have work and only have to pack some clothes for my holiday. Once again, please review!
