Bulma Briefs sat and started blankly at her computer screen. Her 
house was so empty. She had considered hanging out with Krillen or Tien but,
she decided against it. Bulma was still friends with her ex-boyfriend Yamcha
but she wasn't really in the mood to listen to one of his air-headed stories
about his football practice. 
	"Bored, bored, bored, bored" Bulma said as she tapped on one of her
computer keys. 
	"If your bored I can send you up to outer space" Came her father's 
voice behind her.
	"huh?" Bulma asked and gave him a confused look.
	"I have received a letter from a planet called Vegeta-sei, their 
Prince, named Vegeta, as asked if we could build a gravity camber on him 
planet" Her father explained "I will go myself if you don't want to but, I
feel that you can get the work done faster then me since your younger" 
	"Sure I'll go" Bulma said excited for the challenge "Um...how is the
gravity camber built" 
	"Here" Her father said handing her a bunch of papers "This will 
explain how, it's fool proof so you should have no problem figuring it out"
Bulma smiled at the compliment, she looked over the blue-prints and found 
that it was easy enough to figure out.
	"When do I leave?" She asked "And what should I bring, tool wise"
	"You can leave as soon as I confirm it with the Prince. They said
that you do not have to bring any tools, they will have a lab ready for you
to work in" 
	"Okay, call me when I need to go, I'll be packing" Bulma said as she 
bounced out of the lab and up to her room. She packed all her clothes and 
hair supplies. Bulma paused, she decided that she should keep her hair 
straight from now on so that she would not have to pack so much. 
	
	Bulma woke up the next morning very tired, she had gotten little 
sleep from all the wondering she did about what the people where like and 
how everything would go. Bulma got dressed in a light blue tank top and jean
shorts. She ran down stairs and ate a quick breakfast. 
	"Good morning honey" Her dad said as she entered the lab.
	"Morning" Bulma said "Have you heard anything from Vegeta-sei and 
um...whatever their people are called" 
	"Yes, you leave when your ready. Your things are already in the 
ship." He replied "By the way their called Saiyins, they look like you and
me except they have tails"
	"Tails?!" Bulma giggled "Strange, I hope they speak English"
	"They do but they have their own language too" Her dad merely smiled
when she giggled, he thought the fact that they had tails was pretty funny 
but, chose not to laugh. Bulma headed out to the space ship, her mom and dad
following close behind her.
	She hugged them both and said her Good-Byes.
	"I love you two so much and I'll try to keep in touch if I can" 
Bulma said "Stay out of trouble dad"	
	"I will honey" Her dad smiled.	
	"See if you can bring home a nice Saiyin boy, dear" Her mom said and
gave Bulma a wide grin.	
	"What ever mom" Bulma said blushing a little. She got on the ship 
and it took off. Bulma went to the window and waved to her parents until
they where out of site. Bulma lay down on the bed in the ship and tried to
make up for the sleep that she had missed.

	"10 minutes till landing" A female computerized voice said, waking
Bulma. She had slept for a long time and was happy that she woke up so that
the Saiyins wouldn't get the impression that all she did was sleep. Bulma
got up and went to the bathroom, she fixed her straight hair and smiled at
her reflection. Bulma was pretty and knew it but never let it get to her 
head...to much. She was still wearing the blue tank top and jean shorts that
showed off her curves, skinny waist and perfect legs. She wasn't about to 
change since she didn't see anything wrong with her outfit. 
	*THUD* With a huge crash the ship landed. Bulma open the door and 
stepped out. Her eyes grew wide as she took in all of her surroundings. The
planet was amazing it was bright, lit up by the sun, it had lush forests and
what look like a palace made out of crystal. Bulma's attention turned to a
group of people staring at her. 
	"Are you the scientist from earth" A tall bald man asked 
	"Um…yes" Bulma said feeling a little self conscious from all the 
stares she was getting.
	"This is Goku, Radditz, King of Vegeta-sei, Prince Vegeta and I am
Nappa" He said. Bulma looked a Goku he was a tall friendly looking man with
a goofy grin on his face. Radditz looked sort of like Goku but with much 
longer hair, actually very long hair, it went all the way down to his knees.
The King looked very mean and angry. Vegeta was the one that caught her 
attention the most. He was barely taller then her, his black soulless eyes 
where staring at her. He was very attractive but looked like he had a 
defiant attitude problem.
	"Hi" Bulma said "My name is Bulma, I work for the earth's greatest 
science company, actually I'm one of the 2 people who own it" 
	"You know what your here to do, I assume. Alright then, Goku will
show you to your room" Nappa said after receiving a nod from Bulma 
indicating that she knew what was going on. Bulma followed Goku as he lead 
her to her room. The others had flown back to the palace ahead of them, 
Nappa carrying all her bags and not looking to happy about it. 
	"I have to warn you don't get on the Prince's bad side. He not the 
type of person you want as your enemy especially you since he could kill you
a flick of his finger" Goku said in a stern but friendly tone. 
	"Ok I'll remember that" Bulma said, as they walked along the long 
hallways of the palace Goku pointed out things like where the dinner hall 
was, and where her lab was. 
	"You will be escorted by me or maybe even the Prince to where ever 
you have to go, for protection and so you don't get lost" Goku informed her
Bulma was happy that Goku would be escorting her places, it had only been
20 minutes and she could already consider him a friend. 
	"That's the Prince's room, don't go in there unless he lets you" 
Goku said pointing at very large double doors engraved with some symbols and
pictures Bulma had never seen before. "And, this is your room" Goku unlocked
the relativity smaller door beside it.
	"Wow your room is right next to the Prince's. I'll come and find you
for dinner. You can walk around but don't go anywhere that has guards 
in front of it." Goku said and left her alone. .:: Great just what I need, 
the evil Prince's room next to mine ::. Bulma thought as she entered her 
room. Bulma gasped, her room was small yet gorgeous. The floor's, walls and 
pillars where shinny and look like they where made out of crystal. Bulma's 
bed was fill with pink sheets and pillows. Bulma found that her clothing 
and bathroom things had already been put in their proper places. Bulma sat 
down on her bouncy bed, and let out a huge sigh. Bulma wasn't tired but she
had been through a lot since she got here.
	After a five minute nap Bulma decided to look around. She walked 
down the many hallways mentally taking down places that she would like to 
visit once she got a little more settled in. Bulma decided that she
would visit her lab. 
	"Oooo I'm being treated like a princess" Bulma said to herself, her
lab was huge it had every tool imaginable and a really fancy computer.

	Vegeta walked down the long hallways wondering about the earthling 
that was to live here till her work was done. Vegeta found himself 
interested in the girl, she was both smart and gorgeous. Vegeta had been 
told that it was his job to keep an eye on her and thus a room was prepared 
for her beside his own. Vegeta's thoughts were interrupted when he heard 
noise in the earthling's lab, he waited at the door for the intruder to come 
out. Vegeta was sure that the person in there was not friendly, there was no
one walking around 10 minutes before their usual meal time. Vegeta stood 
beside the door and waited.

	Bulma was happy to find all she needed in her lab and decided to 
leave. Goku had said that her meal would be soon and Bulma figured that she
should wait for him to get her in her room. Bulma went outside the doors and
stepped into the hallway. She yelped as a strong arm wrapped around her 
waist and another around her mouth to keep her from screaming any further. 
Vegeta realized who it was and let go of her mouth and loosened his grip 
on her waist but didn't let go. Bulma turned to see the Prince's black eyes
staring down at her. 
	"Prince Vegeta I…I'm sorry I.." Bulma didn't know what to say.
	"Why are you out here" he asked
	"I wanted you see if all the tools I needed where there" Bulma said
hoping he would let go of her waist. She felt strange with his arm there she
felt safe yet terrified. "Was I not suppose to be here, I'm sorry I didn't 
know"
	"No, you where allowed but, people don't usually wonder out here 
around dinner so I thought you were an intruder" Vegeta said flatly, he slid
his hands long her waist, to release her from his grip. 
	"Well I'm going to go back to my room, um...bye" Bulma said as she
ran down the hallway. Vegeta chuckled the girl was intimidated by him and he 
liked that. Vegeta headed to the dinning hall to meet up with his father 
and the other members of the Royal family that ate there. 

	Bulma headed back to her room and waited for Goku to come and get 
her. Bulma was a little shocked by her encounter with the Prince. He seemed
to take joy in intimidating her. She didn't like been so close to him it 
made her incapable of thought, his touch made her melt. Bulma heard a knock
at the door, she bounced over to open it. 
	"Hi Goku" Bulma greeted the Saiyin, Goku had a goofy grin on his 
face.
	"Hi-ya, time for dinner lets go" Goku said as he turned and started
walking down the hallway. Bulma had to run to catch up to his large strides.
Goku opened a large door and Bulma stepped inside.
	"Ah, earthling you've arrived" The King greeted her, Bulma smiled 
at him unsure of what to say "Come sit down" Bulma sat down at the end of a 
long table. The King sat at the head of it almost beside Bulma and Vegeta 
sat across from her. Bulma was surprised at the amount of food on the table, 
there was enough to feed all of earth. Bulma watched the King and the Prince
take their food first, they took very large amounts on to their plates. 
Vegeta passed a platter of food to Bulma and watched her take a small slice
of ham, one potato and a handful of rice.
	"Is that all your going to eat" Vegeta said loudly causing the 
whole room to stare in her direction.
	"Yes" said Bulma, she had no clue how they could eat so much.
	"How can you eat so little" Vegeta said unsatisfied with her answer.
	"How can you eat so much, there's enough food on your plate to feed
all of Capsule Corporation" Bulma said "I eat just as much as any other 
person on earth" Vegeta gave her a strange look but chose on to press the 
matter.
	"As long as your not starving" The King spoke up "Capsule 
Corporation that's a strange name for a company. Doesn’t the title of the 
company say something about it?"
	"Boring old man" Vegeta mumbled earning a angry look from his 
father.
	"Yes Capsule Crop. makes special capsules like this" Bulma said and
pulled out a capsule from her pocket. She always keep some with her just in 
case.
	"What dose it do" Vegeta asked, he didn't see how a little thing 
like that could make her rich or have any use at all. Bulma got up from her
seat. Bulma could feel all the guards in the room take a step forward.
	"I came here to build a gravity room not kill the royal family" 
Bulma said rolling her eyes at the guards and causing Vegeta to smirk. Once
Bulma felt the tension in the room die down, she clicked the top and threw
it into an empty corner of the room. Everyone in the room stared as a motor 
bike appeared in front of them. Bulma walked over to it and clicked the 
button on it, it returned to it's capsule form.
	"Amazing, what else can you fit in them" The King asked, Vegeta just
stared at her in wonder, it was the strangest yet most remarkable thing 
he'd ever seen. 
	"Hmm...houses, tents, food, clothing um that's all I can think of 
right now, but you can fit everything in them even this palace" Bulma said
pleased with their reaction. She had to suppress a giggle when she saw that
the Prince was speechless. Bulma quickly ate her food and watched as the 
other Saiyins ate their food. Barbarians, that was the only word Bulma could
use to describe the way they ate. Bulma sat patiently as they finished their
meal.
	"Are you sure you don't want more" Vegeta asked her, he was annoyed
that she didn't eat that much. If that were him he'd be starving within 
minutes after. 
	"Yup I'm full but, Thank you" Bulma could sense that he was annoyed
but she was a little annoyed with him too. Bulma was glad when dinner was
over she wanted to go down a re-capsule her space ship. Goku was waiting her
outside, she told him that she wanted to go down to her space ship. 
	"I'll take her down" A harsh voice said from behind her. Bulma and
Goku turned to see Prince Vegeta staring at them with his arms folded over 
his chest.
	"Yes sir" Goku said, he bowed and winked at Bulma then left. Bulma
walked out towards her space ship with Vegeta close behind her. 
	"It will take 20 minutes to walk there" Vegeta barked at her "It 
would be faster if we fly"
	"Well in case you haven't noticed I can't fly" Bulma snapped back,
she continued walking, wondering why he was in a bad mood all of a sudden.
Vegeta smirked and flew at her, he scooped her up in his arms and flew 
toward the space craft.
	"You can't fly but, I can" Vegeta said
	"Duh" Bulma muttered and wrapped her arms around his neck. She liked
flying but was afraid he might drop her. Vegeta touched down and slowly put 
Bulma down. Bulma walked over to her craft, Vegeta watched as she 
disappeared behind it. The space craft disappeared in a small puff of smoke
and turned into a capsule that dropped into Bulma's hand.
	"I must admit that I'm impressed with this capsule technology" 
Vegeta said as they flew back toward the Palace.
	"Really, my dad invented it and I helped him out" Bulma said felling
proud of herself.
	"Hmm" Was Vegeta's only reply, Bulma figured he was thinking of 
something. While Vegeta was concentrating on flying them back, Bulma took 
her chance and studied his features. He had such an attractive face and his 
tuff, dirty attitude made her want to touch his face. Bulma restrained 
herself from doing this since it would probably result in her death.

	Bulma spent the next week working in her lab from 7 am till 12 pm 
every night. She was always fighting with the Prince who was always barking
orders at her. Bulma liked fighting with him sometimes but other times she 
hated it. Bulma was typing on her computer and going over some plans when 
she felt like something was behind her. Then she felt a hot breath on her 
neck.
	"Something wrong" A rough voice said, Bulma jumped and gave a small 
yelp, she knew it was Vegeta.
	"N…No...N...Nothing, nothing at all" Bulma said, she never could 
figure out why she lost all ability to function around him. She heard him
chuckle and she felt like melting into the ground. Bulma sunk in her chair 
as he continued to stay so close to her. 
	"Get back to work" Vegeta said and moved away from her. He was happy
that he could get such a reaction around her. He loved to torment her 
although he wasn't sure why. 
	"Fine, baka" Bulma mumbled 
	"What did you say to me" Vegeta growled
	"Nothing" Bulma said surprised that he had heard her.
	"Don't play dumb with me girl, Saiyins have excellent hearing" he 
said as pick her up by her shoulder. Bulma couldn't resist when he pulled 
her up and turned her to face him. Bulma's shoulders hurt as he pressed on 
them, hard.
	"Don't talk that way to me, woman, I have half the mind to kill you
right now but, father has taken a liking to you and would be displeased if
I did so. Even though I don't care what that baka thinks of me" Vegeta said 
glaring daggers into her eyes.
	"Sorry" Bulma said close to tears, she refused to let him see her 
cry. Vegeta smirked at her then simply said.
	"Good" Then he left leaving Bulma to drop into her chair.

	"You seem to be making great progress on the gravity camber" Goku
said as he walked her back to her room "Are you sure you don't need help
with those" Goku was referring to the stacks of books that she was carry. 
Bulma had decide to go over some plans that night, she was annoyed because 
the books were stacked very high and Bulma couldn't see in front of her. She
trusted Goku to tell her when to turn.
	"The turn to the Prince's and your room so coming nnnnnnnnnnow" Goku
said, Bulma turned when he told her to and she bumped in something as hard
as a rock. Bulma fell back wards, her books flying every where, She didn't
feel herself hit the floor. She did how ever get picked up by a strong arm
that set her back on her feet. Bulma gave a deadly glare at Goku who was
presently laughing. He stopped and bowed then left, Bulma was confused by 
this until she saw who had caught her. .:: Oh great ::. Bulma thought as she 
stared up at Vegeta. Vegeta saw smirking at her and still had a firm hold on
her waist. Bulma slipped away from his arm and picked up all her books.
	"Sorry I really should watch where I'm going" Bulma said nervously
and headed into her room. To her horror Vegeta followed after her. Bulma put
all her book down on her desk and organized then in order of importance and 
which ones she was going to read today. Bulma then, with Vegeta still 
watching, took out her clothing for tomorrow and put it down on her desk 
chair. Bulma then turned to Vegeta.
	"Yes, what do you want" Bulma demanded, she was tired and had
no clue why Vegeta had followed her. Vegeta didn't know why he had followed
her here but, he felt like following her.
	"I don't know what I want" He said stepping closer to her.
