Chapter 6: Mulan

The next day came and went for the Briefs family. Vegeta trained Trunks all day and Bra ran around town with Bulma. After a nice family dinner, Vegeta left to go have a sparring match with Goku and Trunks went along. Bulma decided for her and Bra to have a girls night and watch a movie. Bra picked one out, Happy Feet, and they watched it. After it was over, Bulma and Bra went to bed. Later Vegeta and Trunks made it home, Trunks went straight to bed and Vegeta was on his way to bed when he heard Bra's door open as he pass it. "Daddy?"

Vegeta stopped and turned around, "What?"

"I can't sleep will you tell me a story, please?"

Vegeta sighed in defeat, "Let me change then I will be back."

"Ok."

Vegeta went to his and Bulma's room changed and went back to Bra's room, she was waiting for him. "What story tonight?"

"Well, remember that movie I made you watch with me?"

"There are so many, which one?"

"Mulan, I want that story, but tell it your way."

"Fine." Vegeta sat on the bed with Bra...

Long ago, a Planet was torn by war. The king did everything in his power to stop the war, but it never worked out for him. He granted his son permission to become a general of his own branch of the military to stop this war. There was only one problem, there were not enough men to fill this army. The King sent out word to every village in his kingdom to send their men, who could fight into battle.

Meanwhile, in one of the small villages, there was a family, a great family. The head of the household was a veteran warrior to the king. He lived with his wife, mother and his only child, his daughter. This man was hurt from the last war he was in and could no longer fight, as least thats what his wife and daughter thought, to him he could still fight. His daughter gave him a great deal of trouble. She had visited a matchmaker on her 16th birthday, but nearly killed the lady for picking at her. Everyone in the village thought the girl was a big disgrace to her family. But her father had hope, everyday he would go pray to their ancestors to bring her luck. No matter what she did, she never felt like she did anything right for her family.

Then the day finally came, a royal message from the King. She sat on the roof of their house to listen what was going on. The king wanted every abled man to come into battle and her father's name was called. She was extremely upset, that night she got into her father's desk and got the letter, she took his armor, cut her hair and left. When her family found out, it was too late.

At the same time, the ancestors woke up and were discussing what do to, when a dragon named Kakarrot stepped forward, "I will go and bring her back."

All the ancestors laughed at him, he was a joke, then they told him to wake up Shenron, he would be the one to bring her back. On his way out to wake up Shenron, he fell and destroyed Shenron's statue and came up with a plan to go get her. And he was off.

Meanwhile, outside the camp where all the men were supposed to meet, Bulma was trying to find a way to act like a man, when suddenly a shadow monster appeared out of no where. "Who..who are you?"

"I am the guardian sent by your ancestors to make sure you remain safe!"

Bulma looked behind a rock and found a little dragon there, "My ancestors sent and mini-dragon to save me?"

"HEY! Big things come in little packages! Now put me down."

"Daddy, Uncle Goku as a dragon is funny."

After explaining, very poorly to Bulma how to act like a man they entered the camp. Bulma caused quite a problem when she tripped over a man and destroyed the camp's dinner. After hearing all the commotion, the Prince stepped out, "What's going on out here!"

Everybody got up and pointed to Bulma. The Prince got mad, he walked up to her, "What's your name boy?"

"Ummm..."

"I asked you a question!"

"Ummm...."

Kakarrot whispered "Goku."

"Goku!"

"Very well. Well gentlemen thanks to your new friend Goku, you will be cleaning up this mess, have no dinner and start training extremely early." The Prince said as he walked back into his tent.

Bulma had to admit, that prince was good to look at."

"DADDY!"

After that night training was extremely hard. Bulma didn't think she could do it anymore, then one day she got the energy she had been waiting for. After doing something no other warrior could do, hit the prince in hand-to-hand combat, she got the respect she had been waiting for. One night she was bathing, against Kakarrot's better judgment, three of her fellow warriors decided to join her. Their names were Piccolo, he was the biggest one, Yamacha, the one who thought he was a lady's man, and Krillin the short annoying one. Bulma managed to get out without them finding out her secret, thanks to Kakarrot who bit Yamacha on the butt. Later that night, Kakarrot was getting mad because he over heard that the Prince's men won't see battle and he wanted Bulma to go home a hero, so he decided to make a letter from another general telling the prince he needed help. The next day they left. When they came to where the other general was supposed to be he was gone, Bulma found him and his men dead in the battlefield beyond the village.

Later they came to battle with the enemy. Bulma managed to save the Prince's life but was badly hurt. After the doctor looked her over they discovered she was a woman and was left behind while the others went to the castle town to celebrate.

As Bulma and Kakarrot were getting ready to head home they saw the enemy's men getting up off the ground. "We have to warn them!"

"Oh no sister let's just go home!"

"No let's go!" Bulma and Kakarrot made it to the town, while the parade celebrating the Prince's success was going on. She rode up to the prince to tell him but he didn't believe her. She told Piccolo, Yamacha, and Krillin to be on the look out, because the enemy was in the town.

She was right just as the prince greeted his father, the enemy showed themselves and captured the king. Bulma joined them and saved the king. Bulma was honored by the king and declared a hero to the Planet.

When she returned home, she gave her father the gifts that the king gave her, but all he wanted was for her to be home, her grandmother thought she should have came home with a man. When the Prince showed up. "Can you tell me if Bulma lives here?" Her grandmother just pointed.

Bulma looked up to see the prince, "You forgot your helmet."

"Would you like to stay for dinner?"

Her grandmother yelled, "How about forever!"

Kakarrot was welcomed back as a hero. And Bulma and the Prince lived happily ever after.

Vegeta looked down to see Bra fast asleep. He got up and left. He did enjoy these times with his daughter.

The End
