Chapter 1: return from future foreshadow

Yamcha reluctantly gave Bulma a ride back from the area where the man from where they reunited with Goku and learned of the dark future that lies ahead. When they landed, all they could see was a pink shirt, lying on the ground torn.

"I know Vegeta didn't like the shirt, but he didn't have to break it," Bulma said discouraged to see the shirt torn to shreds. "Speaking of the royal pain in the ass, where is he?" Bulma found that she was talking to herself because Yamcha, who was mad at her already, took off from sight.

Suddenly, she heard a loud boom coming from behind her, and then her question was answered. "This piece of shit…Woman get over here and fix this load of crap!"

Bulma was in no mood for this, she was just blown off by her boyfriend and found out that she and her friends have to face a possible destruction in three years time. "Who the hell do you think you are!?"

Vegeta was shocked that a mere earthling would have the balls to talk to him that way, especially a woman. "How dare you speak to me that way, If I didn't require you to fix my machine, you wouldn't be more than a spec of dust!"

"You do not talk to me that way, Vegeta. I am sorry, but this is earth now and you have no 'royal' jurisdiction over me here!" she barked back with a vengeance.

Suddenly a quite voice interrupted the quarrelsome two, "Don't worry Bulma, I'll have this Gravity room fixed up in no time, in fact Vegeta why don't you come to my office so you can tell me exactly what you need," Mr. Briefs said coming from the garden. The two walked to the shop and closed the shop door. Bulma just stood outside in shock at the arrogance of Vegeta. But suddenly her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a loud yell coming from her serene father saying something about gravity. She couldn't make it out behind the closed doors.

Bulma decided not to bother with Vegeta because she wasn't in the mood to get in an argument with a person with an even shorter temper than her. When she entered inside, she walked straight to her room and fell asleep.

It was dark when she had awakened. She felt a deep rumble in her stomach, which led her to the kitchen. She opened the ice cream jug only to see it ravaged. Checking the gallon of peanut cookie dough, all she found was the vanilla ice cream. 'Vegeta!' she yelled to herself, trying to keep quite, not knowing whether her family was asleep. She then looked at the clock on the Microwave, reading 2:30 am. But as she read that, something else caught her eye. Looking out the window, she saw the gravity room still on. She grabbed the gallon of ice cream and walked out to the room. She banged on the door loudly screaming "Vegeta!! Get out here, right now!!!

"What do you want, woman," he said, annoyed, "I thought you were asleep, that is what you should be doing instead of pissing me off!!"

Instead of arguing with him, she opened a panel next to the door and pulled off a cord, which cut power to the machine.

"Arrgg!!" Vegeta yelled from inside the machine. Nearly ripping the door off, he slammed the door open. "What was that for!!" he yelled at the blue haired woman.

"You ate all the good part of the ice cream you bastard!" Bulma screamed at the sweaty saiyan.

"So, It's not like you need it," he shot back, not realizing what he had said to her.

"You son of a bitch, how dare you insinuate that I am even a tad over weight!" she barked back at him. "Why I don't even know why I let you stay here, I should throw you off the premises."

"Stupid woman, last time I checked, this wasn't even YOUR house, it is your parents, so get them to throw me off, and I will go," Vegeta said calmly, and with his usual arrogance.

"FINE!!!" Bulma screamed at him as she walked off.

"Fine," Vegeta said, getting the last word in.

The next mourning:

"No, Bulma, Vegeta is our guest and as long as those androids are coming, I think it be best that we help Vegeta train to his fullest, Goku is going to need all the help that he can get." Bulma dropped her jaw as she heard the words out of her father's mouth. Speechless, Bulma looked towards her mother and stared at her, giving her as if she was saying, 'and you?'

Bulma's mother picked up on this, shocking as it may have seen, and gave her displeasing response, "Oh I simply adore Vegeta, He is just so cute and cuddly, and his hair is so nice looking, He should defiantly stay." To these words Bulma, with her head down and jaw dropped, walked out of the room and into the kitchen.

She sat down and looked at the opened refrigerator when it began to speak, "so, it seems that I will be around a little longer," a cocky and one of a kind Vegeta voice said as he peeked his head out of the icebox, with a tub of vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered nuts inside. He sat down in the seat across from her and began picking away at the ice cream, devouring all the chocolate nuts from the container. Bulma took two seconds to react after the first nut was eaten from the tub; she walked over to him and knocked the ice cream all over Vegeta's shirt. Vegeta nearly fell back to this cool covering. He then stood up and began wiping and licking the ice cream away, "Damn bitch," he said to himself as Bulma stormed out of room grabbing a capsule for her favorite air car.

Later that afternoon:

Bulma went to the mall to buy something, anything, it made her feel better when she was angry. she hit the jewelry stores, the shoe stores, the clothing stores, any store imaginable that she could by something expensive.

Back at Capsule Corp. Bulma's father switched the machine back on and got Vegeta back to his training. Inside the gravity room, Vegeta had reached 150 times earths gravity with the anger of his favorite training shirt, tarnished with the ice cream on it. "I don't know if I am going to kill my self or her that little bitch. All I know is that there will be one less life living under this roof by the end of the three years." He was so angry that he hadn't of realized his tiring body. He then turned on the blast simulation Bulma's father designed for him a week earlier.

Bulma was returning from her shopping after buying a pair of gold earrings. She decided that her and Yamcha had cooled off enough and that she should give him call, so she pulled out her cell phone and began dialing in numbers. It seemed to ring forever, so she realized that he was probably out training, but as she was about to hang up her phone, Yamcha picked up.

"Hello," a playful girls voice came from the phone.

"Oh I am sorry ma'am, I must have the wrong number." Bulma said and hung up the phone. "He is probably training anyways, better not disturb him." Bulma said as she landed in her front yard.

She walked in the living room where her father and mother were sitting where surprisingly, a box a chocolate was opened and the two were eating up. "hey mom, hey dad, I see at least one bow made it after Vegeta moved in, all the rest didn't survive the first week."

"Bulma honey, you should really try to ease up on Vegeta, you are so mean to him…" Bulma's mother couldn't finish her sentence when Bulma interrupted her.

"I mean to him?" she said as the fire in her will grew, "I mean to him, have you seen Vegeta, he is the biggest bastard I have ever met, of course I can't stand him he's an arrogant, self-centered, stuck up, Ass…" she was interrupted, but not by her mother, but a loud explosion that came from the yard. "what was that," she said as she ran out the door. "Oh my god!" she nearly screamed as she saw the Gravity room nearly completely destroyed. "Oh no, Vegeta," she said desperately as she ran to the pile of rubble. Suddenly, something caught her eye, it was one of his gloves, sticking out from under a massive metal plate used as a protective wall covering. She used all of her might to move the large piece of metal, revealing a badly bruised body that unfortunately belonged to Vegeta. She nearly slammed her head to his chest seeing if she could hear a heartbeat. She then saw him breathing and decided he was alive. "Come Quick, I found Vegeta, he's hurt," she franticly yelled to her father that had a medical robot with him.

Her father had helped her put him on the stretcher, while Bulma's mother was crying her eyeballs out, thinking that Vegeta was dead. They brought him to the medical center and placed him on the bed. The doctor walked in several minutes later with a few nurses and bandaged and stitched him up. "He is out for a while," the doctor said as he finished up. that is all he could basically say looking at how much damage had come to Vegeta.

A week passed by and Vegeta was still sleeping, he hadn't awaked not once. Mr. Briefs fixed the machine in that time and Bulma constantly checked on him, feeling so bad about the things she said, seconds before this all happened. She had fallen asleep on the side of his bed, around 2 in the mourning. she couldn't sleep before that because of her guilty conscience. When daybreak hit, the sun hit Vegeta like a big tub of water, waking him up. he looked over to his side and saw Bulma. With her arms folded, sleeping in a chair next to his bed. Vegeta recalled his memory of what happened and recognized that he had been out for a while. As he sat up in bed, he looked down at Bulma once more confused.

'what is she doing here,' he said to himself. He got up quietly, as not to disturb Bulma and walked out of the room. About an hour later, Bulma awoke. For a few seconds, she wondered where she was. Searching the room for any recollection. She remembered that she had gone to see how Vegeta was doing and must have fallen asleep. Looking down at the empty bed, she nearly left the room running, she could only imagine what he was doing. She got to the kitchen and looked around, but no Vegeta. As she was about to leave, she looked at the sink seeing a pile a mile high in it, filled with assorted dirty dishes, "He's been here," she thought out loud. Just then a humming Mrs. Briefs walked in the kitchen. "Hey mom, have you seen Vegeta?"

her mother though to herself for a second and then answered her, "In the bed in the medical room," she said as she looked at the dishes, and then revised her answer, "Not in the medical room."

Bulma got her answer as she noticed a sort of humming sound coming not from her mother. She looked outside, and sure enough, the gravity room was on.

"Erg, I am going to get him," she said, stomping her way out of the kitchen at to a monitor to talk to Vegeta. "Vegeta what are you doing, your going to get hurt!!" she yelled at him through a camera. Looking at the little TV in front of her, she saw him look up at her, and speak.

"And what does it matter to you if I get hurt," he shot back at Bulma who was clearly annoying him.

"Fine when you get hurt, I wont help you…" he then cut her off.

"Fine, now bug off, you are annoying me."

Bulma nearly ripped off the knob that turned of the monitor. She stormed out of the room and headed for her workroom to mingle with something, "I hate him, he makes me so angry!" she yelled as she put on a work apron and grabbed a screwdriver.
