(This takes place in the Android and Cell Sagas of Dragon Ball Z, the time period where Bulma and Vegeta start to fall in love. The story starts soon after Trunks arrives, and destroys Freiza, revealing to Goku that the Androids are coming, and that he is the son of Vegeta and Bulma. The story starts when Bulma, Yamcha, and Vegeta return to Capsule Corp.)



Vegeta opened the door to his space pod, the one he was away in space in. Walking inside, Vegeta shut the door, and immediately walked down to the lower level to look for his spare training armor and clothes. Finding a pair, he took off his pink shirt and his yellow pants to put on his armor. While doing so, one thing stuck in his mind: The new Super Saiyan. It was impossible. He couldn't be a Saiyan, yet he saw it with his own eyes. The boy had transformed into a Super Saiyan, just like Kakarot had done.

The thought burned in his mind, and he gritted his teeth. "Impossible...That kid couldn't be a Super Saiyan.." said Vegeta, fury etched in his face, putting on his boots, and walking up to the next level of the space pod. Vegeta walked to the gravity machine that he's been training under for the past year in space. He trained under the same gravity that Kakarot had, at 100 times Earth's normal gravity.

Now, he wanted to take it up a notch. He decided to train at 130 times gravity, more than Kakarot and himself had. Vegeta entered the digits, and almost at once, the gravity was increased. Barely able to move, Vegeta started his training in the intense gravity. He started with push ups and sit ups, then to punches. The entire time he was training, he had one other thing in mind. The Androids that would appear on earth in three years. Kakarot had told him and the others of them, having been told by the kid from the future about them.

Vegeta didn't want to believe it, but he had little choice. This was a good way to train, to take out Kakarot, become stronger than him, and become a Super Saiyan, something he wanted for a long, long time. Ever since he learned that Freiza had destroyed his home planet, as well as Kakarot became the Super Saiyan and surpassing him in strength, Vegeta became obsessed with achieving this goal.

Vegeta was about to enter the last part of the training, when the TV monitor was lowered, and someone on the screen popped up. Bulma's face appeared on the screen. Vegeta looked up, and grumbled abit. "What do you want?" asked Vegeta.

Bulma glared slightly. "I came to tell you that dinner is done. Yamcha, my family, and myself are eating in the yard for some BBQ, are you coming or not?" asked Bulma, her tempter rising slightly. She really wasn't in the mood for Vegeta's rudeness.

Vegeta growled slightly, and nodded. "Yeah, yeah, I'll be there in a sec." said Vegeta, and started to walk to the gravity machine to turn it off. As he turned, Bulma said, "And don't forget to shower before we start to eat." she said, and the monitor turned itself off, and retreated back into the ceiling.

Vegeta ignored her, and turned the gravity machine off, returning the gravity to normal. Walking down below to grab the clothes he wore earlier, Vegeta made his way to the Capsule Corp. buildings, passing Yamcha half way there. They had started setting up for the BBQ already, so he would have to take a quick shower.

Vegeta got out of the shower almost as soon as getting in. He didn't smell that bad, or so he thought he did. He really didn't care much. He got dressed in the same pink shirt and yellow pants as he was given earlier. "Ugh...I'm not a variety of flowers.." he said, grumbling slightly. Once he was all dressed, Vegeta walked down to the yard, where the BBQ was taking place. Bulma's family, herself, Yamcha, and his little friend Puar. Dr. Brief and Yamcha were sitting down at the table, while Bulma and her mother was still preparing the meal. Vegeta sat down at the end of the table, away from the others, and waited for the BBQ to start.

Bulma and Mrs. Brief started to put plates of food on the center of the table. There was chips, salsa, hamburgers, hot dogs, soda, water, lemonade, beer, sliced ham, hamburger and hot dog buns, ketchup, mustard, and all other sorts of food. When Bulma and her mother sat down, everyone got what they wanted. Vegeta went last so he was less involved with everyone else. He get a hamburger, two hot dogs, a small amount of chips, and some water. Vegeta never ate these foods before, except the hamburger, which he had earlier that day.

Bulma's parents sat by each other, eating at talking to one another. Yamcha and Bulma were laughing because Puar had just told a very funny joke. Vegeta would glance down at the table every so often, seeing what the others were doing, but failed to interest him more than a few minutes. It wasn't until towards the end of the meal, when someone started to talk to Vegeta.

"So, Vegeta," said Mrs. Brief, setting down her fourth beer of the night and her cheeks rosy red. "Did you have a girlfriend in outer space?" she asked in her usual chipper voice, casually. Everyone looked up at him, Bulma particularly interested. Vegeta looked up to Bulma's mother, wondering why on earth would she ask him that. "No, I didn't." he said, and returned to eat more of his hot dog.

"Oh, really. That's a darn shame." she said, taking another drink. "A nice young man yourself would expect to have tons of dates in a weeks time. Such a strong young man you are." Vegeta looked back to her, a vein in his head throbbing slightly.

"Right.." he said, still glancing at her, but tore his gaze away from her, half tempted to blast her into smithereens. Yamcha burst out laughing, but Bulma continued to look at Vegeta.

"Now, now, isn't that a personal question to ask deary?" said Dr. Brief, patting his wife's hand. "I didn't expect Vegeta to have time for girlfriends out there in space, doing whatever he did." said the husband.

"Oh, right, how foolish of me.." said the wife, hiccuping slightly.

Yamcha began to laugh more profoundly. "Well, I know the reason why Vegeta never got a date. It's because he's so worked up and nasty, he never- AHH!" screamed Yamcha, as he was blasted out of his chair by Vegeta. Standing upright, Vegeta's arm was still up and pointed to where Yamcha was just sitting. Bulma jumped out of her chair, as the others did, to see if Yamcha was still okay. Kneeling by Yamcha, Bulma looked up at Vegeta.

"HOW DARE YOU, VEGETA! Blasting him like that! He was just having some fun, you didn't have to go and do that!" said Bulma, anger etched in her face. "Say your sorry!" she yelled at him, glaring. Vegeta snorted, and started to walk back to the space pod without apologizing to Yamcha.

Bulma was about to get up to go smack Vegeta, but turned her attention back to Yamcha. His clothes were singed slightly, ripped, and dirty. A large, gaping hole laid in the middle of his shirt, where the blast had hit. Growling slightly, Yamcha started to get up. "Damn Vegeta...He owes me a new shirt.." he said, his hand placed in the center of the hole. Small amounts of blood rubbed on his hands, as his chest was scraped.

Dr. Brief tapped Yamcha's shoulder. "Come, we need to get him inside." he said, and him and Bulma helped Yamcha up, and took him inside, followed by Bulma's drunken mother.

"He didn't need to do that." said Yamcha, laying on a table, while Dr. Brief was checking the wound to see if anything needed to be treated

"Well, you did insult him. Quite frankly, you're lucky that's all he did." he said, still checking the wound out. Bulma sat in the chair by the door, her arms crossed.

"Still. Vegeta shouldn't of had done that. Although...it was abit funny." said Bulma, laughing slightly. She didn't know why she suddenly felt like it was, it was a serious matter. But still...

"Funny? FUNNY?!" said Yamcha, sitting upright, and glaring at Bulma. "Vegeta blasted me for no reason! He ruined my shirt, and damaged my perfect skin! And that's funny?!" yelled Yamcha. Glaring back at him, Bulma stood up.

"YEAH, I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY! GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?" yelled Bulma even louder. Yamcha glared at her, for a moment or two, before he turned towards the door, and slammed it shut in front of her and her father.

For a few moments, Bulma looked as angry as before he left, but then suddenly started to cry. Dr. Brief walked up from behind, and hugged her shoulder. "Now, now...Don't get to upset...okay? Yamcha is mad because of Vegeta blasting him out of his chair" he started, but Bulma wiggled herself free, and left the room. She left the capsule Corp. building, and started to walk towards Vegeta's ship.
