So here it is. If some of you guys don't know about Stockholm syndrome, summed up it's the prisoner getting attached to the captivator. Check it on wiki/Stockholm_syndrome.

Please leave a review!


Once again Bulma was lying in the bed in her cell, looking at the celling. She couldn't grasp what had happened yet. Everything had been within her reach; getting close to Vegeta had seemed to work – slowly, but he had ended up starting to respond to her questions – he had even showed some kind kindness or even care towards her after the intruder. But everything had been ruined. And she only had herself to blame.

Of course he would react that way. She had seen how difficult it had been for him to hear a simple "thank you". To hear "I love you" had been too much for him. And in his point of view, her love for him – if he even believed it to be there – would be some kind of Stockholm syndrome. How should he believe it to be anything else? He hadn't gone through all the things as she had. He hadn't experienced their everyday life at Earth, quarrelling about everything possible and impossible, walking their separate ways before making up by simply ignoring each other for some time.

A sigh escaped her lips and she folded her arms across her stomach. What was going to happen to her?


Vegeta looked at the dragon, trying to contain his rage. "What do you mean, you can't resurrect my planet and people?"

The namekian that acted as interpreter flinched a bit by the anger radiating from the saiyan.

"It will be done, but only if the condition, made by the person making the former wish, is met." Polunga looked at the enraged prince, trying to decide whether to tell him or not if he didn't use a wish to get the information.

Vegeta crossed his arms. "Fine, then I wish to know the condition."

"The woman known as Bulma wished for the Planet Vegeta to be resurrected alongside its people six months after she is impregnated by…" The namekian stopped and looked at Polunga once again. They talked a bit before Vegeta yelled: "By whom!?"

"You," the interpreter said and looked at the prince.

"What?" Vegeta shouted in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding, how is that possible?" He didn't know what was happening but he was damn sure he would get to the bottom of it.

"Your guess is as good as mine," the namekian said and looked at Polunga once again. "He wants to know your second wish."

Vegeta snorted. "Fine. I guess I'll just have to make the woman speak." His tail started to swing rapidly behind him. What she had said had taken him completely by surprise, but it had made him certain of one thing: either she was completely out of her mind or she really had only tried to get close to him before destroying everything he had gained. But after hearing what the dragon had said, he had become uncertain of the last. Maybe she indeed was insane and had decided with her fucked-up mind that she would threaten him into give her a child by giving him his planet in return. Thinking about the woman his second wish popped into his head. "I wish for all off the ways to destroy my ship made by the woman to be destroyed."

"It is done," rumbled Polunga and looked at the prince and the namekian. "What is the last wish?"

"I wish to be immortal," he said and tried to calm down his tail with no luck.

"It cannot be done; every living being must die eventually." Polunga waved a bit with his tail, getting affected by the prince's tail moving so rapidly.

"What? Can this dragon not do anything?"

"He can do almost everything, but he has his limits," the namekian said, starting to get irritated by the saiyan's behavior. The new Grand Elder, Tsuno, had decided to let the saiyan prince use the dragonballs as a way of thanking him for killing Freeza and leave the planet without harming any namekians. They had collected the new balls, which Tsuno had made after Guru's death but had to wait for a week before the balls would work.

"Hmpf, fine." Vegeta looked at the dragon for a couple of seconds before making up his mind. He had been strong enough to kill Freeza, Kakarrot and Cold, but perhaps an even greater enemy was lying in wait somewhere. "I wish to become the strongest being in the universe." Just like before, he would keep training, even though he knew no one would stand a chance fighting him. Knowing his strength was from a wish didn't make him happy, but he was certain he would lose the bad taste in the back of his mouth by the thought if he just kept pushing himself further in the GR.

"It has been done," said Polunga. He didn't tell the prince, that his power had only been magnified a tiny friction. Before the saiyan known as Goku or Kakarrot had surpassed yet another of his own boundaries, Vegeta had been the strongest. And so he was again.


The door slid open with a faint "woosh". The grand room was illuminated by one of Planet Namek's three suns, making Bulma narrow her eyes, which had gotten used to the dim light in the cell. The soldier that had picked her up in the cell pushed her forwards before making her kneel in front of a plateau, where a single chair stood. 'Almost like a throne,' she thought as she tried to ease some of the pain from her shoulders by rolling them. She hadn't exactly been treated well by the soldier picking her up.

Bulma heard the "woosh" once again and tried to turn around to look at the door. The soldier grabbed her neck and forced her to look forward instead of turning around. She yelped quietly in pain as his fingers duck harder into her neck. She could hear the soldier speaking with the other person in the room in an alien tongue. The other voice belonged to Vegeta, she was certain she would recognize it in every tongue he could speak.

She felt the pressure on her neck disappear and heard the footstep of the soldier disappear. Although she wanted to, she didn't dare turn around. Something told her it was for the best to keep still. Steps were once again heard and she knew someone was moving towards her. Soon she saw Vegeta's boots in front of her. He walked up the small plateau and sat at the chair.

"Do you have a clue as to why I have summoned you?" His tone was hard and business-like. She had never heard him speak like that.

"No I don't," she said and lifted her head. He sat with his arms across his chest. His black eyes stared at her as if he tried to look into her soul. His tail was folded around his waist not giving his mood away by movements. "Your highness." Her last comment made the tip flick a bit, and she knew that she still could affect him in some way.

"Try and use that genius mind of yours. Or were they all empty words spilling from the lips of an airhead?" She was about to get up and start yelling at him, but her cuffed hands on her back made it hard for her to do it without help. 'How dare he?' She was quite sure why he had summoned her, but she hoped she was wrong.

"Fine, may I then ask you a questing, your highness?" She could see his tail started to move more frequently. He was starting to get annoyed, she could tell, but she didn't plan on backing down. If Polunga had told him her wish, then he would be even more confused or enraged by her telling him she loved him. He nodded once and she continued: "Did you summon the dragon Polunga, your highness?"

"Yes, I did," he said. He had a confident smirk across his face, certainly sure she would be frightened by his discovery. But she wasn't, and his irritation was clearly shown by his tail.

"Then I'm sure you summoned me because of my wish," she said and tried to straighten her back even more.

"Correct," he said and got up. "And I have a question more for you." He grabbed her arm and got her on her feet. Then he snarled into her face: "Tell me; why the hell did you make that wish?"

Bulma stared into his eyes not wanting to show how intimidated she got by his tone. She had never thought the day would come, where she would have to tell it to him. 'You had it coming, Ms. Brief. No one forced you to change the past.' "I will, but you're not going to believe me."


So, do you guys think Vegeta will be able to handle Bulma's story? Well, you will have to wait until next chapter! It will hopefully be done the 27th, I don't know if I can have it done till tomorrow :-(
