ok, vegeta's gonna start being....um.....nice to amy now, and she gets a tail!!!! review please!!!

Goku and Nicole emerged from the bathroom, both with wet hair and white towels wrapped around them. As they walked into Nicole's room, Goku looked around and asked, "Do you have anything clean I could wear?"

"Ummm...let me check."

Holding her towel up, Nicole rummmaged through her drawers and picked out a short, dark green nightshirt for herself and a pair of green, yellow, blue and pink, tye-dye boxers for Goku. "Here ya go," she said as she threw them at him.

Goku gave them a puzzled look before shrugging and slipping them on.

Amy went back downstairs and sat on the couch to eat her chips. Nicole came in with Goku following.

"Did you guys actually wash while you were in the shower?" Amy asked.

"Shut up," Nicole replied and Goku just blushed.

"Well, nice shorts Goku," Amy said, stifling a laugh.

Goku shrugged and asked, "Can I have some chips?"

Amy handed him a handful of chips that he happily shoved into his mouth. She offered some to Nicole who also took a handful.

They quietly watched TV then Amy got up and went to the bathroom. Once there, she picked up her brush and parted her hair down the middle. She began to brush the left half. She made it halfway through a stroke when...SNAP! The brush broke.

"What the hell!?" Amy said as she held the piece of her once-whole brush.

She walked back into the living room and showed Nicole the brush.

"What happened to it?" asked Nicole.

"It broke while I was brushing my hair," Amy answered. "But...there aren't any tats big enough to have done that."

Nicole looked at Amy's hair. "It looks a little thicker, and it's sticking up at the back."

"It is?" asked Amy.

"Yeah," said Goku. "It's kind of pointy, like Saiyan hair."

"OK," Amy said slowly.

"You would dare to compare that to a Saiyan, Kakarot."

Everyone turned as Vegeta walked in wearing tear-aways and a tank top that showed off his muscular upper-body well.

"Well it *does* look like Saiyan hair," Goku said. "Maybe a little like Raditz...."

"Hn," was all Vegeta said, then he walked towards the kitchen.

/How did her hair become like that? And I know I saw a small bump forming on her tailbone..../ Vegeta thought as he got something to eat.

Later that night........

"I get the bed!" Amy said.

"*I* get the bed! I am the Prince of all Saiyans!" Vegeta said, glaring.

"This is *my* house and my bed, so *I* get it!"

Vegeta stepped closer to her, eyeing her coldly. "As the only royalty here, I claim this bed as my own!"

"I don't see your name on it!"

Vegeta grew more frustrated and paced around the bedroom.

He stopped abruptly and looked at Amy. "Fine. You may take the bed...."

"Damn straight!" Amy said, then she lay down on her back and turned off the lamp.

Suddenly, Amy felt a weight on top of her body, pinning her down. She then felt hot breath against her ear. Amy struggled helplessly against her captor.

Then they spoke in a whisper: "You take the bed. And I'll take you!"

Amy felt a sharp pain in her neck as Vegeta bit her. "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

Amy screamed from the bed, rousing Vegeta from his much-too-real dream. He slowly realized that it *was* a dream and he was now awake. He then stood up and clicked on the lamp.

What he saw shocked him completely.

Amy was lying on her stomach, wincing and groaning in pain. But what was shocking was the source of her pain: she had a tail! The deep brown, furry appendage was flailing wildly about her, a few drops of blood at the juncture of tail and flesh whence it came from.

Vegeta couldn't form any words as Amy rolled over and looked at him through teary eyes.

Just then, Goku burst into the room with Nicole behind him. "What happened?" he asked as he came over to the bed.

Amy wiped away her tears and looked at Nicole. When she spoke, her voice was strained from voicing her pain earlier, "I have a tail."

Goku's eyes widened and Nicole grinned.

"COOL!" she exclaimed, hopping onto Amy's bed. "Can I touch it?"

She made a grab for Amy's tail, but was haulted by a hiss from Amy, and it being pulled out of harm's way by--Vegeta?

Vegeta looked from Nicole's scared/surprised eyes to Goku's. "Her tail is very delicate right now and vulnerable."

They waited for him to say more, but he remained silent, ever-so-gently placing the tail on the bed.

Amy stared at Vegeta, then said, "You guys can go back to bed now. I'll be alright."

"Are you sure?" Goku asked.

Amy nodded and he and Nicole left the room.

"I want a tail..." Nicole whined as she closed the door behind her.

Amy turned back to Vegeta. "Thanks for..uh...saving my tail."

Vegeta didn't say anything. He just grabbed a kleenex and began to gently wipe the blood from her tail.

They both remained silent, except for the occasional grunt of pain from Amy.

Then Vegeta said, "Turn around."

Amy obeyed and he wiped the remaining blood off of her back.

Nicole plopped on her bed, Goku crawling in beside her. "Goku...." When he looked over at her she continued, "can I have a tail too?"

"Gee I don't know," Goku said as he put his hands behind his head.

"Please can I have a tail?" Nicole whined. "Goku, I want a tail!"

There was no answer.

"Ummm...Goku..?" she started poking him. "Goku, are you awake?" Goku turned onto his side and started snoring softly. "Awww...Goku you no fun!" Nicole crossed her arms over her chest before pulling the sheets over herself and going to sleep.

Vegeta finished cleaning Amy and disposed of the used kleenex. Amy went to get up to get clean sheets, but Vegeta gently pushed her back against her pillows.

"Where are your linens?"

Amy continued to look at the Saiyan Prince wide-eyed. "Uhhh...in the hallway closet."

Vegeta left the room for said closet. Amy got up and started removing the sheets from her bed, when she felt a wave of pain go from the tip of her new apendage to the top of her skull. She dropped the sheets to the floor, and was about to join them, when strong arms wrapped around her, holding her.

Vegeta had thrown the linens down when he saw Amy about to fall, and rushed to her. He picked her up gently and placed her on the blankets he was using as a bed.

Amy was too shocked to say anything, when Vegeta spoke, "You shouldn't move around too much."

He then proceeded to make her bed. When finished, he picked up Amy, lay her on the bed, and tucked her in. He then turned off the lamp and moved his bed to be beside Amy.

Amy awoke the next morning to something tickling her leg. She giggled and swatted at it, but it kept tickling her. She finally opened her eyes to see what it was.

"Aah!" She excalimed as she saw a deep redish-brown thing stroking her leg. /Oh yeah. I have a tail..../ she thought as she moved to stand. Then a jolt of pain shot up her spine. /OK. I'll just stay here then./ She sat back down, then lay on her side.

"Hey Amy! You're awake! Can I touch your tail?" Nicole said loudly as she came bounding into the bedroom.

Amy groaned as she glared at Nicole.

Nicole stopped mid-step. "I guess I'll take that as a no," she said as she started backing out of the room.

Since she was walking backwards, she didn't see Vegeta walking into the room. Her heel stepped on Vegeta's toe, but he side-stepped and Nicole fell to the floor.

"Owwy," she said, then she resumed leaving the room, hearing Amy chuckle. Amy's chuckle was cut short when she noticed what Vegeta was carrying.

Nicole walked back into her room, rubbing her butt. "Owwy..Goku, Vegeta made me fall!!" Looking around, she found the room empty. "Goku? Where'd you go?" she shrugged and pulled on a pair of blue jeans and a navy blue t- shirt before going downstairs to the kitchen.

She found Goku sitting at the table eating some rice.

"Hey Goku!" Nicole said as she glomped him. "Is there any rice for me?"

"Ummm...no?" Goku said, guiltily looking away.

"GOKU!"

"You need to eat something," Vegeta said as he set the food tray he was carrying on the bedside table.

"Uh...thanks," Amy said, doing her best to sit without hurting.

She reached for the tray but stopped short. She took a good look at the food on it. There were scrambled eggs with bacon, a stack of pancakes, some muffins, a few slices of pizza, rice, a glass each of orange juice and milk, and half a grapefruit.

"I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I made everything," Vegeta said quietly.

Amy smiled up at him. "Thank you. Could you pass the eggs?"

Vegeta did, then sat down beside her.

Goku had, much to his stomach's dismay, given Nicole the rest of his half-a-bowl of rice.

Nicole was happily eating, when she asked, "Did Vegeta make all that food for himself or Amy?"

"Oh, he made it for Amy," answered Goku.

"Really!?" Nicole exclaimed. "Why would he do that? Is he trying to poison her?"

"I don't think so, Nicole," Goku said, laughing. "I just think he wants to be nice to her."

"Hmmmm......Goku, would you ever make me food?"

Goku thought for a minute. "Uh, sure I would," he said, placing a hand behind his head. "But I don't think you'd like it very much. I'm not much of a cook."

"K!"
