| Disclaimer: There's no Freezer, Earth knows about alien life, and Planet Vegeta is still intact. It's also written from Bulma's point of view. It was a usual day at Capsule Corp, until a certain transmission appeared. My father had turned on the monitor and saw the image of a red haired woman in armor. "Dr. Briefs, this is King Vegeta of Planet Vegeta, I need to see you. I have been interested by your work on Earth. You don't mind." My father scratched his head, "How soon do you need to see me?" The king paused, "I'd like to see you now. You can bring your wife and daughter up here." I saw my father talking to him and in the background, I caught a glimpse of a young man walking by. It was probably a servant, I suppose. We left for Vegeta the morning after and we arrived there at around noon a few days after. The palace was beautiful, It had statues and carvings. I looked up at one of the palace windows and I thought I saw someone watching me. At the palace gate, a group of the king's men came to greet us. "You must be Dr. Briefs. King Vegeta's expecting you. Follow us." We were led through the palace and into the main chamber. Two guards stood on each side of the door. The king and queen came to greet us, the king was a tall muscular man with wild dark brown hair. The queen was in her finery, she happened to be very beautiful. Then I saw him, a young man around my age. He had wild dark hair like his father, but those eyes. He had deep onyx eyes, that seemed to burn right through me. Maybe he was the one who was watching me from that window. Maybe he was the one who was walking by on the monitor. The king spoke, "I am King Vegeta, this is Queen Endaibu, and this boy here is my son, Vegeta. Vegeta crossed his arms and just grunted. What a rude guy, I just hope I go with mom instead of being left alone with him. "Say hello to our guests boy." The king looked to the young man. "He's just a little shy." The queen said. Dad introduced us, "This is my wife and my daughter Bulma." Then, it happened, mom decided to go with the queen, to have tea and talk. Dad went with the king to discuss their meeting. Lucky me, I was left all alone with the prince. He kept his distance away from me He was so still, but I must admit, he's very handsome. Please speak to me, don't you speak? He was so quiet, so, to warm things up, I tried to start the conversation. "You're palace is very beautiful." He began to speak, I guess he has a voice after all, "Yeah, I guess. Why don't I show you around woman." I pointed at him, "Look, my name is Bulma, your worship." He looked down, "I'm sorry Bulma and for your information, my name is Vegeta." I glanced at him, "Well, Vegeta. Is there anything to do around here?" He came close to me and looked at me with those deep eyes of his, he took my hand and showed me around the palace and it's grounds. Outside in the courtyard I thanked him and turned to leave. "No, you haven't seen everything." He grabbed me by the waist and we took to the air. We flew all over, then something happened to me, I began to feel something between us. Vegeta and I, flew back to the palace, "I bet you're hungry from all that flying. Let's go back inside." I smiled at him, "Vegeta, I don't want to go back inside." I looked deeply into his eyes and held his hand, "Why, don't we stay outside and get to know each other a little more. It'll be like a picnic." Supper was sent outside to us, Vegeta was packing food in like a horse, but he did it in a very orderly manner. He didn't shove it in his mouth and gobble it down like a wolf. We drank some wine, then sat under the stars looking at the sky. "Space is beautiful, so are you Bulma." I looked to him, "Vegeta." Before I could say anymore, he kissed me. My heart was beating very quickly. He pulled away gently and whispered in my ear, "Please don't leave me Bulma. I need you." I gazed at him, "Vegeta, I don't want to leave you either." What was I saying, what about my parents, my friends, my life on Earth? Sure, he's a handsome prince, but am I willing to sacrifice everything for him? Bulma, your parents will be fine, friends, who needs them, and Earth, well, you can always visit it, it's not going anywhere. We spent a week there and Vegeta and I, have formed a bond, but then I had to go back. On our last day, Vegeta and his family stood by our ship with a few guards, handmaidens, and the king's court. Vegeta looked a little tired and it seemed that his face was a little tear streaked. He took the pendant that he was wearing from his neck, the king, queen, handmaidens, guards, and the king's court stood in disbelief and shock as Vegeta placed the pendant around my neck. He would never remove it, not even when we were lying there together on the beach. He was giving me his title, everything he had, "Farewell, Vegeta." I said as I boarded the ship, I could see Vegeta turn and run away with tears in his eyes as we lifted off. When we got back home, I couldn't think of anything, just Vegeta. One day at breakfast I told my mother and father that I was leaving, I had to go back to Vegeta. My father nodded, "Sure my child, if you love him, I give you my blessing." Soon, I packed and left on a shuttle to Vegeta, while I was there, I had met the Ambassador to Vegeta, Kakarott. He told me that the prince was sad and that he was coming back home to cheer him up. When we arrived on Planet Vegeta, the king�s subjects greeted me. They led me to the palace and there near the gate was Prince Vegeta, "My love!" I shouted. He opened his arms, "I'd knew you'd come back to me Bulma, my Queen!" We ended up living happily ever after. This is my first time, I hoped you liked it. Mara Jade-Skywalker |
