Vegeta quietly opened the book. He was greeted with pictures of Bulma smiling in a small pool. Then it was a picture of the whole family. Bunny was standing next to her husband as they held hands and Bulma was sitting on a pink cheer with the biggest smile he has ever seen. Truly a happy family.

Happy. Peaceful. Each pictures was like that, no one showed any sadness, loneliness, hatred, humiliation. No emotions that he felt.

He set the picture album aside and went to sleep.

Vegeta was startled awake by a rustling noise, when he turned around he saw Bulma sitting on her sleeping bag putting on her tennis shoes. What is she up to?

Bulma got up and went to her got out a little box with small holes around it. Then she tipped toed her way out of the room. What is that? Vegeta couldn't believe that the girl has enough courage to sneak her way out. Curiosity to the best of him and decided to followed the earth girl.

Bulma was walking down the hallway holding the mysterious box close to her. She heard footsteps behind her and turned around.

Vegeta leaned his back against the wall, allowing the shadows to cover him.

Bulma kept on walking and stopping at the end of the hall. She looked at the alarm box that prevented her from going outside.

Vegeta chuckled ha looks like the end of the road for you girl.

But Bulma reached out towards the box and took off the lid. She looked at the wires and disable the alarm.

Unreal! This girl disabled the system in less than a minute! But how? She's just a kid. He wanted to get to the bottom of this so he presume to follow her outside.

After a minute he realized she was going towards his hide-out. He couldn't believe she remember the way there. Vegeta hid behind a tree and looked at her.

Bulma was sitting down with her box whispering to it. "Okay we're out Luna, I know you're gonna love this place. It's so pretty!"

"Why are you talking to a box you silly girl?"

Bulma turned around and saw Vegeta with his blue jumpsuit, arms crossed, a scowl on his face.

"Vegeta!"

Vegeta frowned "Be quiet! Now why do you keep carrying that stupid box?"

"Sit sit Vegeta, I want you to meet someone"

Vegeta look at her curiously but listen to her and sat down on the grass.

Bulma took the box and placed it gently in front of him. The box moved a little bit.

"Open it"

"Why? What's in it?"

"It's a surprise hehe"

"Don't lie girl, if you are planning to attack me you got another thing coming!"

Bulma giggled "Veggie just opened it. It's nothing bad"

"Don't call me that name, understand?" he yelled.

"Uh hello, now who's being loud?" she said.

He growled. She's a feisty one.

Vegeta tried to open the box but it sprung open and a little black furry creature jumped out and into Vegeta's lap.

"What the hell is it?"

"It's my kitty, Vegeta meet Luna, Luna meet Vegeta"

"What the hell is a kitty?"

The kitten purred against Vegeta's belly. "It's .. it's ugly"

"Pet it Veggie she's really soft" Bulma grabbed Vegeta's hand and placed it against the cat's fur. He felt the kitten's fur really soft.

The cat started walking circles around Vegeta 'meow meow'

Vegeta petted the cat from the head down the tail. Luna purred again and pressed her head against his palm. Vegeta smiled a little. "She's weird."

The kitty laid on top of Vegeta's legs. His tail swinging from left to right happily where she is.

"Look, she has a tail just like you!"

It was Vegeta's turn to laugh "Yes but I hardly think this creature can turn into an ape under a full moon."

"A what?"

Vegeta sighed "Some other time for that story girl" he said looking down at the cat.

Vegeta lost track of time, he was suppose to report to Frieza's throne room as soon as he woke up. He never reported himself late, he's really in for it now.

"Look we have to go back, so get up and hide this creature before it's seen"

"No not until you say her name and her name is Luna"

"Hide Stupid Luna before someone spots her!"

"Okay okay"

Bulma and Vegeta were walking down the corridor when Vegeta noticed Captain Ginyu and the rest of the Ginyu Force heading down in their direction.

"Great, here we go" he whispered. Bulma look at him confused.

"Ha-ha Prince Vegeta fancy running into you here, with your little female friend." said Jeice.

"I see you're up and running after our little meeting yesterday, you saiyans sure heal quickly" said Ginyu.

"We just want to pass Ginyu, so you and the rest of you fools move out of my way"

"Oh? On your way to see Lord Frieza? We know Vegeta, it seems that your late and we're here to take you to him."

"So just come with us in a friendly matter or we drag you there by your hair"

"Vegeta…?" whispered Bulma

"Fine, let me just take the human girl back to the room. "

Ginyu laughed "No no little Prince , the girl comes with us too, she is the explanation to Frieza as to why you are late"

Bulma leaned close behind Vegeta.

They followed them towards Frieza's wing. Vegeta grew with anxiety , he doesn't know how Frieza will react when he hears that Vegeta was late because he was with the human girl, what he will do, or to her. He turned and looked at Bulma. She was scared.

Finally the reached Frieza's door. "In you go you little punk" said Burter.

Vegeta went inside Bulma was close behind him holding the Luna in her arms.

Frieza was looking out the window, his back facing Vegeta.

Zarbon was close to his side.

"Lord Frieza" Vegeta bowed "I apologize for my tardiness, I should've paid more attention, I promise it won't happened again."

Seconds passed and Frieza still didn't said a word or did not moved.

"It's fine Vegeta, I will allow it this time" he said finally turning around and facing him. Then he noticed Bulma.

"I assume you are late because of this girl?"

Vegeta didn't know what to say, the Ginyu Force must've told him. He had to face the music.

"A million apologies my Lord, it would never repeat again"

"See to it that it doesn't monkey"

"Meow"

"What was that?" Frieza asked.

Damn that girl and that stupid creature!

The cat jumped out of Bulma's arms and landed in front of Frieza.

"Dammit" Vegeta whispered.

"Luna!" Bulma screamed and ran towards her cat.

"Bulma get back!" Vegeta screamed at her. That was the first time he said her name. He may not admit it out loud but he has come to be found of this girl, even if its just a little.

Frieza was watching all of this in amuse. He noticed the girl was getting the attention of the young Prince.

Bulma stopped and looked up to face Frieza.

He smirked down at her.

Bulma ran back and hid behind Vegeta

"Vegeta step forward please" said Frieza.

Vegeta quietly obeyed and stepped in front of Frieza.

"Did you allow this girl to keep this.." he looked down at the cat "this thing?"

"It's just a pet of hers sire, it's not harmful so I saw no need to deny it"

Frieza walked towards the end of his throne room and picked up what looked like to be a dagger. Vegeta held his breath.

Frieza walked back and looked at Vegeta.

"Kill it" and handed him the dagger.

"No!" Bulma screamed but was held back by Zarbon who stood there watching the whole show.

"Now Vegeta, I have no time. I wont allow this creature to be here."

"But sire" he said "it's not doing any harm to anyone"

"DO IT!" he shouted.

Vegeta grabbed the dagger and looked down at the cat. He grabbed it by the fur on her neck and picked it up.

"Vegeta no! please my kitty!" Bulma screamed now in tears. "Give her to me!"

Vegeta's hand shook a little bit. He tried to drown Bulma's voice away. Vegeta looked at the cat, it started at him, not know of what was going to happen. So innocent.

Then Vegeta stabbed the cat in the stomach. It made a horrible sound, a shrieking sound. It began to hurt his ears.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Bulma screamed crying hysterically.

The blood from the cat's stomach trickled down the dagger into Vegeta's hand. It kept on shrieking until it made no sound.

Frieza chuckled softly. "Good now you can go to your room and take the girl with you. You know how much I hate crying."

Vegeta knew perfectly.

He went towards Bulma, grabbed her by the arm and took her away. She kept on hitting him and crying the whole way.

"Killer Killer Killer" she chanted. "I hate you!"

He didn't expect the words to affect him so much.

They finally reached his room and Bulma ran towards his mom crying.

"What happened?" she held Bulma closely and demanded an answer.

"He killed Luna!"

Man, that was hard for me to write. How will Vegeta react to this. Will he just not care? Will he do anything to gain Bulma's trust again?

Stay tuned!

-Valentine.
