Chapter 3: The Little Mermaid and Hercules
The next night, Bulma had just finished cleaning up after dinner and was getting an ear full of children fighting and Vegeta yelling at her for not waking him to come to their bedroom the next before. After escaping to her lab she finally thought she would get some peace and quiet, she had an extremely stressful day at work and Vegeta was getting a handle on the kids, so she took the opportunity to run. After a while she was really getting into a project when her lab door opened. She expected it to be Vegeta, but she was shocked when she felt a tug on her shirt. "Mommy?"
Bulma looked down at Bra, "Yes, sweetie?"
"Can you tell me a story tonight. Daddy, says he won't tell me another story because he's mad at you. Please mommy."
Bulma wiped some sweat off her forehead, "Ok sweetie, I'm almost done here. Go up and get ready and I will be there as soon ok?"
"Ok mommy." Bra ran out of the lab, "TRUNKS I TOLD YOU SHE WOULD TELL ME A STORY!"
'Does she always have to yell at Trunks?' After a few minutes Bulma got cleaned up and headed up to Bra's room. Finding her already for bed and waiting for her mom. "Alright, sweetie. What will it be tonight? Sleeping Beauty?"
Bra shook her head. "No, daddy already told me that one."
Bulma's jaw dropped. "Your father told you the story of Sleeping Beauty?"
"Yeah, well kinda in his own way."
"Thought so. So what story do you want tonight?"
"I want a mix of two stories, since I know I won't stay awake for both."
"What ones?"
"The Little Mermaid and Hercules."
"Really? Ok. I know just the one." Bulma smiled and crawled into bed with Bra.
Once upon a time there was three beautiful sisters. All which were goddesses of a far off planet. The oldest was the goddess of strength and patron goddess to war her name was Yellow, the middle sister was the goddess of beauty and love her name was Blue, and the youngest was the goddess of maturity and motherhood her name was White. Their father was the king of all the gods and goddesses, he ruled the heavens and the realm of the mortals his name was Purple.
"Mommy why are you using colors for names?"
"Because mommy is very tired and can't think straight tonight."
"Ok."
Yellow and White were very happy, they had husbands and children to love. White was married to a simple god, he watched over and was the protector of the mortals, but he wasn't too smart. his name was Orange. Yellow's husband was the head craftsmen to Purple and his name was Brown. This made Purple very happy to see his daughters' lives filled with so much joy. But he was worried about Blue, being the Goddess of love she could help anyone that asked for her help to find love, but she couldn't find a love for herself. One day Blue was walking in the heavens when she looked down and saw a battle being waged. She decided to watch, after a while a certain warrior stuck out to her the most. He was handsome, brave, and very powerful. He seemed not to fear anything he came up against in that battlefield. Blue felt her heart give way to this warrior. Blue continued to find this warrior whenever she could she felt that she had a strong connection to this man but she had no clue who he was. One day as she watched him, Yellow decided she was going to see how her battle was going when she found her sister watching it. "Blue, whatever are you doing watching this?"
"I'm enjoying it."
"Very well." Yellow walked over and sat down next to Blue, "Which one do you like?"
"WHAT!"
"Come on Blue, which warrior has caught the eye of the goddess of love?"
Blue looked down and found her warrior and pointed to him, "That one."
Yellow looked, "Oh, that one! Good pick. He is a strong one. The strongest among the mortals of this world. Now come on father has been wondering where you have been. I promise I won't tell."
"Ok." Blue and Yellow got up and started walking back to their castle in the heavens.
"Well, well. This is interesting. Little Goddess Blue has fallen for a mortal. I will have to watch this proceed."
"Mommy, who is that?"
"You'll just have to find out." Bulma said as she put her index finger on Bra's nose and winked.
The next several days, Purple had noticed a complete change in Blue's attitude. And was thinking over what God might have caught her eye. "It must be Red. No, he is far to useless. Maybe it's Green. No, Blue said he is too stuck on his thoughts and intelligences for her. Who could it be?"
"Who could what be father?"
"Yellow. You might be able to answer this for me."
"What father?"
"Blue has been acting different lately, I'm starting to wonder if a certain man has caught her eye."
Yellow froze her mind screamed 'HE KNOWS!' "Ummm...I have no clue what your talking about."
Purple saw this in Yellow and raised an eyebrow, "Oh really."
"OK! I told her to stay away form the mortals but she doesn't listen!"
"MORTALS!"
"Oh, no! Did I say mortals, I meant the portals!" Laughing Yellow started to back out of the throne room before her father exploded.
Purple got up and rushed to Blue's room where he found her daydreaming. "I thought I taught you and your sisters well enough to stay away from Mortals! They are nothing but trouble!"
"Father!"
"Stay away from him!"
"But I love him! Why is it so wrong. Isn't that what you want? For all your daughters to be happy!" Blue ran out of her room and out of the palace. She was sitting on a nimbus cloud crying when...
"MOMMY! I have to go potty wait a minute!"
"Ok." Bra ran off to her bathroom and came back a few minutes later. Taking her spot back in between Bulma's legs.
"Ok mommy, I'm ready again."
"Ok."
"What a shame. She finally finds someone to love, but she isn't allowed to. If only there was someone to help her."
Blue wiped her tears and looked up to find Black, she was the goddess of destruction and chaos. "What do you want?"
Black sat down next to Blue and put her arm around her shoulders. "Just to help you, to be with your love."
Blue knew too well how Black schemed. "What do you want from me?" Blue said rather coldly.
"Why Blue I'm hurt. But there is one thing I want. Your ability of love."
"You can have it."
"Very well. You will become mortal and be with your warrior but you have two days to get him to fall in love with you or you will return to being immortal but work for me as my servant along with that pervert Gray."
"Deal." With the shake of a hand Blue's beautiful heavenly glow dimmed and she started to fall from the sky. Orange had seen the whole thing and flew to catch Blue. They landed safely on the ground below. "Thank you Orange. Please don't tell any one about this."
"I won't." Orange floated back up to the heavens where he would watch over her.
Blue started walking till she came to a garden where she sat down and tried to get her baring in the mortal world. Suddenly a cold hard voice came from behind her, "What do you think you are doing in the royal families private garden?"
Blue turned around to find the warrior she had been wanting. "I'm just here to rest. I have no idea where I am."
The Warrior raised on eyebrow, her voice was like the muses, soft and musical, "Who are you?"
Blue stood, she was just a little shorter than the warrior, "I am Blue." She bowed. "And you are?"
The Warrior laughed, "You must really be lost, I am the prince of this planet. Blue? Are you named after the goddess of love?"
Blue blushed, "Why yes."
After a while of talking the Warrior Prince invited Blue into the palace and gave her a room. That evening they shared dinner together. Blue learned more about him and he learned a little more about her, everything except her being a goddess. That evening before she went to bed the Warrior Prince invited her to a tour of his palace town the next day. She agreed. For the life of him the Warrior Prince could not figure out what it was that he liked so much about her.
The next day they went riding through the town and finished the evening sitting in the palace gardens eating a picnic dinner. The Warrior Prince was about to kiss Blue when the ground started to shake and he snapped out of the trans that he was in. He told her good night and they went to their own rooms. Later that evening, the Warrior Prince was sitting on the roof of the palace when he saw a young maiden walking in the town. He flew down to her. She was mortal looking such as himself. That was the last thing he remembered.
The next morning Blue was so happy, happier than she had ever felt in her life. She ran down to see if the Warrior Prince was awake yet. When she arrived down to the main grand room, she found another girl on his arm. They were talking about wedding arrangements with one of his top advisors. She was heart broken. 'I thought we had something. I guess there will never be love for me.' As she sat in her room crying and preparing herself for the life of servitude to Black, Orange flew in through her open window.
"Yay! He's coming to tell her the truth!"
"Listen sweetie."
"Blue you have to come with me! That maiden you saw is Black! She is doing this to trap you! We have to stop her." Orange took Blue's hand and they flew out the window. They arrived just as the maiden, Black, was walking down the alley.
"STOP HER!" Blue yelled. Everyone looked at her and the Warrior Prince snapped out of the trans that Black put him in. He ran to her just as the sun was setting. Blue looked down at her hands and her heavenly glow was returning.
"Your too late!" Black showed her true form and grabbed Blue. "So long lover boy."
"You!" The Warrior Prince looked at Orange. "You know what is going on?"
"Yes, Blue is the goddess of love, she made a deal with Black to be with you. But Black tricked you so she would win. Now come on we have to save her. Can you fly?"
"Yes." The two took to the sky and soon caught up with Black. Black looked back and put Blue down on a cloud and started to fight the Warrior Prince and Orange. They were losing the upper hand when Purple and Yellow showed up. Black was out numbered but wouldn't give up. She went for Orange but was stopped short when a blast went through her. She turned to see the Warrior Prince was the one that did it.
"Do you really think a mortal blast can kill me?" Just then her light grew darker than normal. Then she exploded!
The Warrior Prince passed out and Blue lowered him safely to the ground below. Then returned to a cloud. Purple was watching how sad his beautiful daughter looked. He looked at Yellow, "She really does love him doesn't she?"
"I believe so father. Why?"
"I was just thinking on how much I'm going to miss her." He pointed his sword at Blue.
Blue wiped her tears and looked down she was falling softly to the ground and her glow was disappearing. She looked up to see her father and sister smiling.
"Thank you." She said before she turned to her Warrior Prince. When he woke they shared their first kiss and lived happily ever after.
"Mommy, are you Blue and is daddy the Warrior Prince?"
"Maybe. But now it's time for my warrior princess to go to bed. You have swim lessons in the morning." Bulma kissed Bra on the forehead and went to shut off her light.
"I love you mommy."
"Love you too."
Bulma shut the door and walked down the hall to her and Vegeta's room and found Vegeta reading the paper and waiting for her to come to bed. She stood at the door looking at Vegeta.
"What!"
Snapping out of it she walked over to her side of the bed and laid down. "Nothing...my Warrior Prince."
"You got that right."
Rraz45: I'm having troubles figuring out those two. I know where I want to go with Wanted By Darkness, Dragon of the Caribbean and Universal War, but I'm having troubles putting them into words. It makes perfect sense in my head but not in writing so I'm working on them. =D Plus I have a ton of work load in the fall classes.
