The day was drawing to a close and the wedding plans had been arranged. She smiles, eating dinner at the table with all of her friends as they talked and joked about different things. Bulma looks over at Chi Chi and Goku sitting side by side. Even though Goku needed practice on being around girls he obviously likes Chi Chi by the way he is smiling when she hugs him. She sighs, wishing Vegeta could be there to hold her in his arms. She wonders if he has changed a bit over the years. She closes her eyes, trying to imagine what he would look like at the age of 25. Maybe a bit taller than her, but not by much. His usual spikey hair and a very well built body, compact and hard as a rock. OH, and she mustn't forget the tail he has... She giggles inwardly, imagining him without his clothes on. She opens her eyes, a light blush creeping across her cheeks upon thinking of him naked.
Lunch looks over at her and smiles, "Bulma, you're being awfully quiet and by the looks of it... You're blushing. Alright girl, spit it out. Who is he?"
Bulma blinks, "Nani? Iie, There is no one, I was just thinking of something I saw before on television and it's a bit embarassing to be thinking about at the dinner table."
Master Roshi chuckles. "Turnin' into a hentai eh Bulma?"
Bulma frowns, "NO! I AM NOT A HENTAI!!!!!"
"Eh heh heh, calm down now Bulma. I was only joking."
"Hmph, that's what I thought," Bulma replies.
Yumcha and Krillan exchange glances.
Tien and Chouzou quietly resume eating their dinner.
Bulma sighs and looks over towards one of the windows to find the sun is setting. If only...
~~~~~~~~~~
"You are now entering Earth's atomosphere. Setting landing coordinates now. Wake up, you will be arriving shortly," a mechanical voice replies.
The occupant of the pod yawns, awakening from the six hour nap. The person turns to the small view window and sighs in relief, feeling the presence. "At last."
~~~~~~~~~~
Bulma suddenly stands up with a gasp, feeling the familar presence in her mind drawing closer than it ever had before in 8 years. Ignoring the others she bolts out the front door and runs over to the beach side.
The others jump up from the table and crowd around Bulma as they witness something streaking across the sky and landing onto the ground 1 mile away in a huge explosion.
Bulma quickly climbs onto her hover bike. "Come on guys! Lets go check it out!!!"
Goku flies up into the sky but finds Chi Chi clinging to his ankle.
"Take me with you Goku sa!"
Goku smiles and grabs her hand and speeds off towards the direction of the explosion, curious to find out what it is.
Yumcha smiles, "Alright, some action!" He follows the others without hesitation, leaving Lunch, Oolong, Turtle, and Master Roshi to wonder what is going on.
Bulma speeds up, trying to be the first to get there as her long hair wipped in the wind behind her. She could feel the tears forming in her eyes as the buzzing in her mind became stronger and stronger, throbbing in her head, telling the direction to go.
"I wonder what it is," Goku replies.
"I hope it isn't someone really bad," Chi Chi replies while clinging to her finance tightly.
"Hai, I agree with you Chi Chi," Goku answers while speeding up a bit faster to catch up with Bulma.
Bulma smiles, spotting the crater and she quickly descends to the ground with the others, their eyes resting on a single pod lying in its center.
The door of the pod slowly opens as a gloved hand grabbed onto the side and pushed himself out, stumbling forth. Escaping Freiza was not easy and his wounds showed it. The person looks up once to find a blurred crowd of people standing at the edge of the crater. "B...Bulma," he stutters before collapsing to the ground in heap, too weak to move any further.
Bulma gasps as tears formed in her eyes. She finds herself running to the person that laid on the ground.
Goku releases Chi Chi and follows Bulma down to the center of the crater and his face brightens when he realizes whom it is that had arrived. "Hey, I remember him. He's Vegeta!"
