Hi everybody out there! This is my very first fanfic! Actually this is
writtened before long my YYH fanfic 'The Past, The Present and The Future'.
Basically, this fic is a gap filling story. Revolves around... nah! Not
giving any spoilers. BTW, this fic has _NEVER_ been proof-read before, so I
don't have the slightest idea how it will turn out in the eyes of other people.
All C&Cs, flames, MSTs or whatever you guys want to say is perfectly okay.
Please... please give your comments... I hope there's someone on the list
who reads Dragonball fics... Before I forget, those who are willing to wade
through my grammatical, spelling and storyline errors can contact me for
proof-reading the rest of my Dragonball fics. Help! I can't find anybody in
Malaysia to do so... Damn it! I can't show my English teacher such a fic...
^_^ Here's my e-mail addy: wsiewlee@tm.net.my
Enjoy!

THE UNEXPECTED
A Dragonball fic by W. Siew Lee
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro:
What was Vegiita's intermost feelings when Bulma walked into his life just
like that? Vegiita hated Bulma at first. So how come Bulma was holding
chibi-Trunks by the time of the cyborgs? This is the unknown story of the
gap between four years of time. This story is set during the time was Goku
was fighting with Freeza until the arrival of the cyborgs. (For more
information, check out Dragonball volume 27 and volume 28.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Am I alive again or am I dead?" wondered Vegiita in silence as he looked at
his hands in disbelief. He could just remember an excruciating pain in his
chest and there was sudden darkness around him. As he was just dead for a
short period, he could not recall what actually happened to his spirit the
meantime. He could just barely remember that he was floating around in
silence.
He remembered to last breath that went out of his body, a tear rolled down
his face. As he thought of it, a blush rushed up to his cheeks.
"How could I have tears flowing for a low-class soldier to see?" he chided
himself. As usual the Saiyajin's ego was badly hurt.
"Well, forget about it." he told himself. When he looked around, he was half
expecting to see himself in the underworld. Much to his surprise, he was
still in Nameckkusei with all its greenery; but with one exception, the sky
was dark. Over the yonder, he could see a brilliant light.
"So, it's the Dragonball at work again." he thought to himself.
Suddenly, Vegiita could feel himself dematerializing. He glanced at his
hands just as they were starting to look like shadows. "What the hell is
happening to me?!!!" However, Vegiita keeps it to himself, partly because of
his pride as crowned prince of Saiyajin and thought that he is having a
hallucination.
"I need a day or two in the regeneration tank." he suggested to himself.
"Nani?" as he began to feel a strange sensation to his mind and body. As the
strange 'thing' eloped him, he began to swirl with it. All imaginable colors
demonstrated before him. He looked both ways, in utter fear. Maybe this was
the fear of not knowing. The whole process took about two minutes. During
this time, he felt he was pulled in one direction. He tried to muster all
his ki to keep himself from sucking into the unknown. However, all his
efforts failed. Just as sudden as the 'thing' set upon him, it went away in
this manner.
He could not figure out where the heck he was now. He took a close survey of
his new surroundings. There were lush greenery and exotic fauna. He saw the
Nameckkians nearby and that cute girl with that Kakaroto's brat. Most
probably on earth now. Anyway, he just kept his cool and silence. As usual,
Vegiita stood leaning against a tree and his legs crossed.
On the other hand, Bulma and Go-Han was as much surprised as Vegiita was.
At first glance, the surroundings looked all too chilling familiar.
"Ah!!!!!!" Bulma screamed. Go-Han looked at her with a frightened
expression. He did know Bulma long enough to sense that she was about to
lapse into another of her screaming sessions. He stuck his gloved fingers
into his ears.
After a while, Bulma began to calm down and think rationally. She took a
brief note her surroundings and realized that she was back on earth, well
and alive. Go-Han was also there with her. She had no choice but to take
Go-Han back to Chi-Chi. She was wondering what would be Chi-Chi's reaction
if she knows that Goku was left behind in Nameckkusei; fighting with that
hideously strong monster. She sighed irritably because Chi-Chi at least
still had Go-Han; but she had no one, especially with Yamucha dead. Now,
Go-Han was begging her to let him stay at Capsule Corp. for the meantime.
She had to convince that boy to go home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What a day!" Bulma exclaimed as she plopped down to her favorite cushion in
her room in Capsule Corporation. Dealing with Chi-Chi wasn't easy. Chi-Chi
had trouble accepting the truth that Goku was, well... um, practically dead
by now. Her son had also missed nearly half a year of his tuition classes
and school. She was so upset that maybe her Go-Han wasn't going to be smart
and he will be left behind in his lessons.
Bulma had a very tough time convincing Chi-Chi that missing half a year of
studies wasn't going to hurt. By the time she left, Chi-Chi still looked
very unhappy and she really pitied Go-Han because his mom will be forcing
him to study day and night from now onwards.
"Meanwhile, I might just take a shower." She said aloud. Suddenly, for a few
moments, images of Vegiita flashed in her mind. Dark eyes with their angular
shape, and brows permanently fixed in a scowl seem to look at her. His
haughty smile seem to be laughing at her too. Maybe he looked quite handsome
in a way, ever better than Yamucha perhaps.
"If I was ever to get him as my boyfriend, I will eat my Dragonball radar."
she joked to herself and continued with her shower.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the meantime, Chi-Chi was crying herself to sleep. She simply couldn't
accept the fact where everyone else had came back from Nameckkusei whereas
her Goku was still stranded there. Even Kaio-sama wouldn't know if Goku is
still alive or not.
She still hated him from that day when he just disappeared from the hospital
when she went out shopping. He didn't even care to kiss her goodbye or just
tell her that he was going. He last time when he went fighting, Kuririn told
her he was dead. She just fainted right on the spot. Was this the
consequences of marrying a Saiyajin? It wasn't her fault! He didn't even
know that himself until a day when his so-called brother came to pay a
visit.
>From that day when she set her eyes on Goku for the very first time, she had
decided who she would give her hand in marriage. Goku had also promised her
that they will get married as soon as they were grown up. For nearly a
decade, she had been training herself how to be a good wife and mother. But
she waited and waited. Goku didn't come and see her. She hadn't given up
hope yet. She would just go to the Tenaichi Budokai to track him down.
She peeped at him from the other side of the tournament and was glad that
he didn't grow into a ugly young man. In fact he was handsome in her point
of view. At last, she gathered enough courage to say 'hi' to him. Much to
her disappointment he didn't recognize her at all. Chi-Chi felt her heart
broke into a million pieces. She vowed that she will never forgive him for
that. When it came to the fighting part, Goku had defeated her and discover
her real identity. He even asked Kuririn aloud 'what is the word marriage
meant'. As Chi-Chi thought of that, a wry smile touched her lips. Anyway.
Goku did kept his promises.
At the thought of it, she broke down to even more sobs. Sleep eventually
settle in and she goes into a restless sleep
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was dawn in earth. Wolfs were howling and the crickets were chirping.
Maybe in the distance there was some dinosaur pounding the ground. Vegiita
woke to his first day in earth. His stomach growled in hunger. As response
to his stomach, he went hunting. As a Saiyajin, he was vicious. He would
injure an animal enough to watch it lead a slow death and ended its
suffering with a blow to its head. He would also eat it raw. Anyway, who
cares? He won't want to eat that woman's food.
As soon as he had eaten his fill, he sat down again to rest. So many things
happened all at once. His defeat to a lowly born Kakaroto with brain damage
had brought a lot of grief and pain to him. To him, grief and pain was
strange to him as he had never felt them before. Not even his entire race
had been wiped out by Freeza. He would be king of Saiyajin now if planet
Vegiita wasn't been destroyed. That didn't matter much to him because he
thought that strength and fighting skills was the only thing important in
his life. One might wonder Saiyajin are capable of feelings like love and
caring attitudes? Well, they are capable of hatred for sure.
As he recall moments in Nameckkusei, it was actually funny now. He shouldn't
be that dumb to challenge Freeza. Maybe by now, Kakaroto and Freeza was
dead, then he could be the most powerful being in the universe. As he
thought of this, he laughed aloud. Being the strongest being in this
universe was easy as one two three.
Then, he remember the girl with that baldy in Nameckkusei. She had lavender
hair, blue eyes and a perfect body shape. Just right for his tastes. Its a
pity that her coloring was very bad. Maybe if he sees her again, he might
want to take her as mate. Anyway, she was too bossy. How could a crowned
Prince of Saiyajin been bossed around by a human female?
But, mating wasn't that important now. He was barely through his teens by
Saiyajin standards. He could afford to wait for around ten twenty years
more. For the moment, he would just concentrate on rising his ki level so
that he could win Kakaroto the next time he sees him, if he ever sees him
again.
As he thought of the latter, he jumps straight in the air and began his
exercises.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was early in the morning. Bulma had just woken up from her sleep. She was
still feeling drowsy but as she thought of her unfinished work in her lab,
she quickly jumped down from her bed. Anyway she wasn't feeling in mood to
work on her new invention, so she suggested to her self that she should take
a morning stroll. As she was nearing a forest reserve, breathed in sharply.
There was a sense of darkness around her. She nevertheless took it as her
natural sense of false protection.
She took a deep breathe as walked into the forest. The forest always made
her feel relaxed. The fresh air and the greenery made her escape the world
of reality. As she wandered in the forest, she saw a figure crouched under
a gigantic tree. She edged nearer, fearing it might be a wild beast.
Silently, she took out her laser gun and walked nearer. Just nearer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vegiita could sense something or someone coming nearer and nearer. He
immediately jumped up and crouched into a defensive position. He also edged
closer and closer thinking it might be a tasty morsel.
Saiyajin didn't care about anything else but fighting and food.
He gasped as he saw and forthcoming figure as Bulma. An intuition came to
him that he was on Planet Earth all along. "Ahhhh! There's that pretty woman
coming to me!"
Bulma also gasped in surprise as she saw Vegiita suddenly jumping up. She
was overcame by fear but she couldn't resist looking at him for a few
moments more as he was the only Saiyajin she had ever seen other than Goku.
Her looking session turned into a staring competition, On Bulma's side she
thought that he was handsome enough for her. His compact body was built over
years and years of training. His unruly hair was the only weak point. If...
If she could make him go back to Capsule Corporation, she could get the
barber to trim his hair into an a.k.a. Leonardo Dicaprio hairstyle.
On the other hand, Vegiita was wondering what was that woman thinking. He
was trying to remember what did that baldy called her in Nameckkusei. Ah-ha!
Bulma! That's right. As he tried to call out her name, he resisted himself.
After all, he was still prince of Saiyajin. He mustn't open his open to
mouth to speak first. Let that human do the dirty job.
Bulma was too afraid to call him but at last she mustered enough courage to
speak softly.
"Hey! Vegiita!"
Vegiita turned to look at her.
"Let's go back to Capsule Corp. If you want to train, I could build you a
gravity room like the one Goku trained in on the way to Nameckkusei."
offered Bulma.
Vegiita smirked and nodded his head..
Vegiita smiled deviously and as he accepted. Bulma was overjoyed. She
signaled Vegiita to follow her and bounced towards Capsule Corp.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulma sighed in exhaustion. Life with Vegiita demanded it. This afternoon,
she called the best barber in the city to get Vegiita a trim on his hair.
Firstly, she had difficulty coaxing Vegiita to sit still on a chair and
wrapped up in cloth. Vegiita unwillingly sat down and he kept squirming on
his seat. When the barber tried to cut the top of his hair, he practically
blasted the whole portion of Capsule Corp. After Bulma sent in the workers
to repair the damage and apologizing profusely to the barber, Vegiita had
cursed her for making him sitting on the chair.
While eating dinner, Vegiita had practically eaten all the food set out for
the whole Briefs family. Bulma had no choice but to put up with that and
order more food from a restaurant nearby. At dinner time, Vegiita had no
table manners at all. He just shoved all the food in the dustbin mouth of
his and walked away without even uttering a word of thanks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a year or so.
Bulma sat down on her favorite cushion. Goku's back! Which is a suprise to
all of them. She was still thinking about the boy which suddenly appeared
out of now where. The experience of meeting Freeza and King Cold was
horrible. The earth would be ashes of the galaxy if that boy didn't turn up
to rescue.
There was one mystery unsolved. Why did that boy look so much like Vegiita?
Those angular eyes and the sharp features. Where the heck did he get those
lavender hair and blue eyes? According to Vegiita, Saiyajin had black hair.
Anyway, he was cute.
Little did she know that he was going to be her future son.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life passed on as usual. Everybody was training very hard in preparation for
the cyborgs.
Vegiita had practically forced Dr. Briefs to construct him a gravity room up
to 300G. During one of his training sessions, he overloaded the gravity room
and practically blasted himself into pieces. Even though he was badly hurt,
he just act as if nothing had happened. Just the behavior of another
arrogant bastard.
Goku had also lied to Chi-Chi many times that he was going bring Go-Han to
tuition class but instead took him for training. Chi-Chi had always
suspected him when Go-Han came back with torn clothes; but Goku would just
tell her that Go-Han had felled off a cliff.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 year passed on quickly.
One day, Vegiita was sitting under a tree, deep in thought; which was
considered remotely Vegiita-like. Today, he had a very strange feeling... He
was 'attracted' to that woman. He just couldn't resist the urge to look at
her. Although by Saiyan standards, she wasn't beautiful in build. But she
was beautiful enough in some way. He hadn't mistaken that look on Bulma's
face when she dragged him to stay in Capsule Corp. She was interested in
him.
Kakaroto's son, that little brat, obviously had some human appearances, so
he assumed that Humans could inter-breed with the Saiyajin race. Without
much consideration, he flew up to Bulma's window.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulma was sitting in a hot water tub. The hot water and the scented bath
oils made her feel so relaxed. She had always enjoyed life this way. She
sighed as she remember the love she and Yamucha shared. It wasn't exactly
romantic but Yamucha was a nice guy with handsome looks. He had trouble
interacting with her and now, he was unfaithful. She had just dumped him
yesterday after she gave him a slap. Anyway, he wasn't good for a romantic
boyfriend, she consoled herself. Sometimes things could be ironic.
In the privacy and silence of the bathroom, she heard a soft thud outside
the bathroom. Quietly, she pulled her towel off the rack and wrapped it
tightly around her. Venturing into the warmth of her room, she saw someone
least expected.
Vegiita was sitting at the edge of the bed. He was looking at her from head
to toe. Bulma opened her mouth to scream but she restrained herself. She
didn't want Vegiita to think that he won this time for teasing her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked coldly. Vegiita just smile, a very
assuming smile.
Bulma had a very cold feeling in the pit of her belly. Once again, she tried
to voice out her question but was silenced by a sudden kiss on the lips by
Vegiita.
Of course her first reaction was to pull herself apart and slap him, but she
was too scared to that. Then, Vegiita asked: " Do you want me to be your
midnight lover?"
Bulma didn't respond. Deep inside her, she was longing that for ages, but
she was tongue-tied. Vegiita said again: "If you didn't answer me, then I
assume that you said yes."
With one quick motion one of his wrist, her towel tore off her. Vegiita
whispered to her.
"You are mine tonight."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vegiita was still laying down beside her. His hand was over her shoulder
and he looked shaken. Bulma kept quiet and snuggled closer to him. Much to
her surprise, he tensed and quickly put on his clothes. He leaped and jumped
out of the window.
Bulma was fuming why he left her abruptly. Just as she was about to shout
after him, her door knob turned. Bulma hid under her bed clothes hastily and
closed her eyes. A hand reached out to touch her forehead and Bulma knew at
once it was her mother. Her mother sighed and assumed that she was asleep.
Her mother closed the door behind her and Bulma heaved a sigh of relief.
Vegiita had also came in again through the window. Once again, he lay down
beside her.
"Thank goodness you jumped out of the window in time. Besides I don't think
my parents would be very happy to see that you and I in bed together." said
Bulma.
"Ha! I could hear her footsteps meters away." replied Vegiita.
"How you know that?"
"Saiyajin had very acute hearing, so don't underestimate us."
Bulma slapped him and said "I should have known that earlier."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go-Han was suffering from the overload of work his mother had made him do.
According to her, all that amount of work would make up for the lessons he
had missed during the half year.
Go-Han drooped his head in exhaustion. His mother hadn't taken the fact that
his father would have a fatal heart attack anytime time now. He'll see his
mother wiping away a stray worried tear or two. His heart ached to see that.
He'd tried assuring Chi-Chi that his father will be all right. It didn't
help much, in fact his mother broke down crying even harder. Go-Han simply
didn't know when he's going to blow up on her. He just couldn't. Chi-Chi is
his mother.
Life sucks sometimes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vegiita and Bulma's secret business was going on for quite a long time; say
� a year.
One morning, Bulma was feeling very sick. She simply didn't know what's
wrong with her. Bulma's mom had suggested that she must go and see the
doctor. Her mom was right. She was rarely sick, which is considered way off
better than most of the people in this planet.
Bulma trudged slowly to the clinic. She encapsulated her car and went to the
counter for registration. Bulma waited anxiously for her turn. Her almost
leaped when the nurse-in-charge called her name.
There was a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach and she couldn't
figure out why.
The doctor listened to her heartbeat and broke the news.
"Congratulation, Miss Bulma, you're pregnant." Bulma responded to that piece
of news with shock. The first question that popped out in her mind was that
how is she going to tell her parents?
"Thank you." answered Bulma slowly. She got up and walked towards the door.
Her thinking was confused now. Very, very confused.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mom, I need to talk to you."
"Yes, dear."
"Er� well actually� would you like to have a grandchild?" asked Bulma.
"Why? Oh no! Don't tell me that you're pregnant!" exclaimed Bulma's mother.
"Um�yes." answered Bulma quietly.
"Then who is the father? I thought you dumped Yamucha. Who is this new
boyfriend of yours?" yelled a very surprised mom.
"I don't think you might want to know who is the father. If I tell you, you
will freak out." answered a very subtle Bulma.
"I want to know who is the father, my dear. Who is this mysterious man that
you won't want to tell. Let me guess. Is it Kuririn?"
"No, it isn't. Who would like a baldy like him. Bad guess." shot back Bulma.
A sudden wild guess came to her mind. "It is Vegiita, isn't it?"
"Yes." admit Bulma slowly.
In all of a sudden, the household was silent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After nine months, Trunks was born.
Bulma sat at the rocking chair and smiled.
Things could be ironic at times.
