Twenty-Eight The three years Training: Old Endings
More than a year had gone past since everyone had started training for the android attack. Gohan’s progress had been coming along nicely but was occasionally confused by the conflicting information that Piccolo and Vegeta would tell him. Fruiche and Erasa had grown a lot closer as the two girls where always together. Erasa had even convinced her parents to send her to the same school that Fruiche had been attending. Fruiche had started obsessing over martial arts training, trying to prove that she was better and could keep up with everyone else. Yamcha hadn’t visited Capsule corp. in a few months and had been doing his own martial arts training with Krillen on Roshi’s Island and had hardly seen Bulma at all over the last year.
Bulma was sitting in her room thinking about the teenaged purple haired saiyan boy. She was pretty sure that she had worked out who he was. A loud bang bought Bulma back to reality. Startled she went to the kitchen and saw Vegeta there with a pile of food that he had raided from her cupboard. She hadn’t seen the prince for a few weeks.
“Your training is over?” Bulma asked, sounding dull.
“For now” Vegeta said, taking another bite of food, stopping when he saw how pale the scientist was. “What is wrong with you?”
“You know that teenager from the future?” Bulma asked while fidgeting.
“Of course I do. I’m still trying to work out how he is a saiyan” Vegeta said, wondering what that had to do with anything.
“I think that I have worked out who he is” Bulma said, as she fidgeted with the table cloth.
“Well, who is he?” asked an impatient Vegeta.
Bulma pulled out a photo from her pocket and handed it to Vegeta. “That picture is of my father when he was a lot younger. Look familiar?” Bulma asked.
“Are you saying that the boy from the future is your dad and that he somehow made himself look younger and made himself part saiyan?” Vegeta said, knowing that Dr Briefs had invented some crazy things during his time on the planet.
“No.” Bulma said with a slight giggle at Vegeta’s reasoning. “That boy from the future is our son”
“My son” Vegeta said, choking on his mouthful of food. “And yours; are you sure?”
“I’m pregnant and I’m pretty sure that the baby is that boy” Bulma answered in no more than a whisper.
Vegeta looked at Bulma a few moments, Bulma waited for a response and jumped out of her skin when the so called all powerful Prince of all saiyans passed out in front of her.
“That was not something that I was expecting” Bulma said as she looked at the unconscious Prince.
Vegeta was only out for 3 minutes. He slowly got up and sat back at the kitchen table. “Does anyone else know yet?” Vegeta asked continuing the conversation as if he’d never passed out. Bulma shook her head no.
“What are we going to tell the kids?” Vegeta asked looking at Bulma hoping that she had an answer.
“I don’t know. I still haven’t broken up with Yamcha yet either because he always say’s that he’s too busy to talk to me when I ring him at Roshi’s Island. And whenever I see him in the hall walking to his apartment, he tells me that he’s too tired from his training sessions and walks off.” Bulma said, annoyed at her soon to be ex-boyfriend. Bulma banged her head onto the table. “He is going to think that I did this on purpose because he was not paying enough attention to me.”
“Isn’t that the reason why you did it?” Vegeta said.
“Yes, No, I don’t know. We’ve been drifting apart for years but cheating on him” Bulma said frustrated that she could let something like this happen. “We shouldn’t have gotten back together the last time we broke up.” Bulma said as she put her head into her arms and leaning on the table.
“You look more exhausted them me and I’ve been training all day” Vegeta said in a caring tone she’d only heard him use with Fruiche “You should get some rest.”
“Will you come with me?” Bulma said pouting.
“Fine, but only after I have had a shower. Where are the kids by the way?” Vegeta said.
“Both asleep” Bulma said, walking to her room.
“Fruiche had school today and then went shopping with my mother all afternoon. She nearly got them both kicked out of the store when the store attendant called her a boy” Bulma told Vegeta as he entered the room after his shower.
“Did she kill him to be almost thrown out of the store?” Vegeta asked.
“No, there would have been way more trouble if she had killed him. All she did was scream at him that she was a girl and about being the princess of all saiyan and how dare such a low class person dare to speak to her especially if he was going to get her gender wrong and a few other things” Bulma said trying to stop herself laughing “She is defiantly your daughter. I was starting to wonder because she was always so kind and caring like Goku was.”
“She properly gets that from her mother” Vegeta said with a smirk.
“I hardly ever here you mention Fruiche’s mother” Bulma said.
“That’s because I didn’t like her” Vegeta answered.
“How could you not like the mother of your child” Bulma said with a pout “Does that mean that you don’t like me either? I’m going to be a mother to your son in a few months”
“That’s not what I said. I’m going to sleep” Vegeta said turning away from Bulma and doing exactly what he said that he was going to do.
Vegeta looked down and noticed that he was in a black human suit. Standing behind him was Piccolo; Nappa and Raditz who were also wearing black suits. He looked around and took in his location and then saw that there was a crowd of people in the audience, they where all dressed up in either suits or dresses like the woman and her mother owned. All of a sudden the Prince heard music playing like he had heard on the soap operas he sometimes watched with Bunny. He looked down towards the direction and saw Fruiche walking next to Gohan who was holding a cushion; Fruiche was holding a basket of flowers and was skipping down the walkway towards him. Following Fruiche was the blond kid that she always played with and the Namek kid who Gohan was friends with. Then walked in was the woman wearing a red dress followed by Tiens wife twice; both personalities wearing light blue dresses, the one with blue hair holding flowers, her other personality with blond hair was holding a machine gun. Followed by them was a person wearing a white dress and a veil that Vegeta could not see. The person in the veil walked up to Vegeta and held his hand and leaned in close to him.
Krillen was now standing in front of him wearing brown robes and had hair scribbled around the base of his head.
His mouth was moving but Vegeta could not hear any works coming out. They only sound that he could here was crying in the audience. There were three people that were not wearing the Earth clothing. “Father, Mother, Kiwa” Vegeta said looking at the his parents and the mother of his daughter, all who had long been dead sitting in front of him.
“If anyone has an objection to these two getting married speak now of forever hold your peace” Krillen said out loud.
“I have objection to my son marrying that pathetic human scum” said Vegeta’s father.
“And what exactly is your problem with Vegeta’s marrying a human” Bulma shouted.
“Any children that he has is going to wreck the family blood line. You are a disgrace to this family. You may be the first super saiyan in over 1000 year but you are the last one. It was bad enough that your first mate was the daughter of that 3rd class. But at least she was saiyan.”
“What about Fruiche? Did you ever consider what would happen to her” said Kiwa. “She is my daughter too. Did you ever consider what is best for her?”
“Of course I did” Vegeta shouted “Everything is so that she could have a better life then what we had growing up.”
“You have made her weak, that child is a disgrace to the saiyan race and it is all because of you Vegeta” said the saiyan King.
“What was so wrong with the way that I bought you up?” said the Queen.
“Nothing mother, everything was perfect” Vegeta said to his mother “It’s my life after I was kidnapped as a child. I didn’t want Fruiche to be bought up like that. I didn’t want her to have to destroy races and planets all in the name of the Cold Empire. I didn’t want her to die the way her mother died” Vegeta said, looking at Kiwa when he finished what he was saying.
“If you believe that then why are you marrying him” Kiwa shouted.
“Him?” Vegeta said, looking at Yamcha who was wearing the wedding dress.
“Vegeta, hunny what’s wrong?” Bulma asked sitting up in bed next to the saiyan prince who was now trying to get the nightmare out of his head.
Vegeta tried to wipe all feelings and emotions from his face. “It has been, what, 2 weeks since you told me that you where pregnant” Vegeta said to Bulma, who he had been sleeping beside every night since he had found out “I’m not coming back until you tell your pathetic excuse for a boyfriend it’s over.”
Vegeta had just stood up but didn’t get a chance to leave to room since Fruiche was running in.
“Daddy, are you ok?” she asked almost crying while hugging her father’s leg “I have only ever heard you shout out like that when Freiza would torture you.”
“Vegeta, what are you doing in my mum’s room?” Gohan asked as he yawned and tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes.
“What are you both doing up?” Vegeta almost shouted
“Fruiche woke me up by banging and running out of her room.” Gohan explained.
Bulma hopped out of bed “How about you both go back to bed?” She said, putting her hands on both kids shoulders, getting a very strange look from Gohan. She had never seen that look on Gohan’s face since he understood nearly everything and asked for explanations for whatever he didn’t understand.
After she had put both kids to bed she went back to her room where Vegeta was still standing. “Gohan really looked like Goku just then” She said as she sat next to Vegeta on the bed. “What was that all about?” Bulma asked “You had a nightmare of some sort.”
“It was nothing” Vegeta said.
“How can it be nothing? You just woke up screaming” Bulma said in a firm voice.
“You trying to defend our relationship to my parents and Fruiches mother” Vegeta continued before giving Bulma a chance comment “Gohan knows.”
“What do you mean that Gohan knows? That he knows I have been seeing you behind Yamcha’s back?”
“I could sense the baby’s ki” Vegeta said “and he could as well.”
“That would explain the look of confusion” Bulma said thinking. “I never thought I would see that look on his face. It was just like when Goku used to be confused about something.”
After a few minutes of thinking Bulma started talking again “I don’t want to talk to Yamcha” as she broke into tears. “He’s going to hate me forever. I might not love him the way I used to but he was one of my best friends when we were kids. We have been through so much together.”
“I’m going to train. And I was serious when I said I wasn’t coming back till you told him. You better do it soon before he finds out from your mother or the kids.”
Morning came all too quick for Bulma. If Gohan and Vegeta could both already sense the baby’s ki, she knew that it would only be a matter of time before everyone else was able to as well. Fruiche was already up and dressed for school when she came into the room. “Bulma, can you put my hair up?” Fruiche asked holding out the ribbon that she had got from Gohan when she started school.
“Sure” Bulma said grabbing a hair brush and tried to tame her saiyan hair.
“Good morning mum” Gohan said as he walked into the lounge room. “Did grandma cook breakfast this morning?” he asked.
“I’m not sure. I haven’t been to there flat this morning and she is not cooking over here.”
Gohan, Bulma and Fruiche made their way down the halls to her parents flat. “I was about to call you sweetie” her father said as she walked in “Your mother has just finished making breakfast.”
“Is Vegeta joining us for breakfast?” Mrs Briefs said.
“I’m not sure. He woke me up in the middle of the night to say that he was training” Bulma said.
“I’m going shopping today so I can drop Fruiche off to school today” Bunny said putting huge pile of food in front of Gohan and Fruiche.
“Thanks” Bulma said to her mother who often dropped Fruiche at school.
“I have a new invention that I’m working on” Dr Briefs said to his daughter “Would you and Gohan like to work on it.”
“I would love to gramps but I should be training with Piccolo today for the android attack” Gohan said, quiet disappointed that his grandfather had to offer on his training days.
“Can’t today dad, I’m going to go see Yamcha” Bulma said.
“And interrupt his training” Gohan said.
“If I have to” Bulma said.
Bulma was making her way to Roshi Island still trying to work out what to say to Yamcha. She had tried his flat earlier, but he was not there. She looked at the small dot that was getting closer and closer. Bulma landed on the beach and jumped out of the jet, decapsulising it before walking into the small house.
“What are you doing watching TV? You told me you where training?” Bulma yelled.
“Bulma” Yamcha said seeing his girlfriend “We were training and are currently taking a break.”
“You could have come and visited me in your breaks. And I’m sure that you don’t train every day, now do you?” Bulma shouted.
“What have you been doing on our days off?” Krillen asked Yamcha.
“Well!” Bulma said waiting for an answer.
“Bulma I see you all of the time at Capsule Corp; I do live there you know” Yamcha said.
“Well you don’t act like it. Whenever I ring you, you tell me that you’re busy training and whenever I see you in the halls, you tell me you’re tired” Bulma said irritated.
“It sounds like you are avoiding her” Krillen piped in again.
“Will you just stay out of this Krillen” Yamcha snapped.
“He is right. You have been avoiding me!” Bulma stated.
“Yes I have been avoiding you.” Yamcha said.
“You have, why?” Bulma asked now curious.
“Krillen can you please leave” Yamcha said, not really wanting to reveal his reason in front of everyone.
“How about we go talk elsewhere” Bulma suggested. “That old pervert is properly awake and listening to everything that we say.”
“How about I fly us to one of the close by islands?” Yamcha asked. Bulma nodded and Yamcha flew them to one of the islands that they used to always go to before Gohan.
“We haven’t been here for a long time” Bulma said looking around.
“Yeah, I’m sorry about avoiding you Bulma” Yamcha said.
“I’m sorry too Yamcha” Bulma said.
“It’s not your fault” Yamcha said.
“You tell me why you have been avoiding me and I will then tell you why I am sorry”
“Ever since Vegeta and Fruiche moved into you apartment, I feel like I have been intruding whenever I’m there. Comments that your mother would say about you two would make me feel so insignificant. The four of you look like a family when you are all together. Vegeta is just like the father that Gohan never had. I was never like a father to Gohan. I still feel awful for the way that I reacted when you bought him home.” Yamcha said as he though back to that day all those years ago. “I guess the real reason that I have been avoiding you is because I knew that it was over between us. But I didn’t want it to change; I wanted it to still be like when we were kids. I also didn’t know how to break up with you so was trying to avoid doing it by avoiding you.”
“You were going to break up with me?” Bulma asked looking over at her long time boyfriend.
“I’m breaking up with you. We have been drifting apart for years yet we both tried to hold on and the more we held on the more we fell apart.”
They both sat in silence for a few moments before Yamcha stated speaking again “Now that I have said that I feel relived.”
“I don’t” Bulma said.
“We can give it another go if you want” Yamcha said.
“No it’s not that. All of those times that I have called and ran into you in the halls. I was trying to arrange a time to meet so that I could break up with you” Bulma said taking a deep breath.
“So this whole time we have been thinking the same thing. Why don’t you feel relieved that is finally over?”
“About 2 months ago I cheated on you.” Bulma said, hugging her legs and leaning her head on her knees.
“You kissed Vegeta” Yamcha stated.
“I slept with him” Bulma said feeling guilty about it.
“I guess it is my own fault for avoiding you” Yamcha said lying down.
“You’re not angry at me?” Bulma asked.
“Bulma, if I had got my act together all of those months ago and broken up with you instead of running away, you would not have had to have gone behind my back to be with him.”
“I think I worked out who that teenager from the future was” Bulma said taking the same steps to tell Yamcha.
“He is a part saiyan with purple hair and blue eyes” Yamcha said remember the teenager who never gave out a name. “He’s yours and Vegeta’s. He looks just like your grandfather but has your eyes.”
“Did you just make that up then?”
“Na, another reason I was avoiding you.” He then sat up “I only worked it out in the last couple of weeks, but it is the only explanation to who he is and knew who we all were.”
“I guess. I didn’t figure it out until I” Bulma then paused.
“You where with Vegeta” Yamcha finished for Bulma.
“When do you think he will be born? Do you think that it will be in the next couple of years or after the android thing is meant to happen” Yamcha said who was watching the clouds.
“Seven months” Bulma answered looking out at the ocean.
“But that would mean that your already pregnant” Yamcha said almost in shock.
“I’m sorry Yamcha”
“Have you told anyone yet?”
“I told Vegeta” Bulma tried to hold back a laugh “He passed out when I told him.”
Yamcha started laughing with Bulma. “Man I would have loved to have seen that.”
“If you ever mention it that I told you or you told anyone else, he would properly kill you” Bulma warned.
“He properly would have killed me if I was there” Yamcha said. “Does anyone else know?”
“I have not told anyone else, but I think that Gohan knows. You know that look of confusion Goku used to get all of the time?”
“Yeah, especially over the concept that you’re a girl and so was Chi-Chi and Lunch.”
“I saw that look on Gohans face for the first time last night when I was getting him to go to bed. Vegeta said later that it was properly because he could sense the baby’s ki.”
“My break was over ages ago. So I should be getting back soon” Yamcha said. “Do you want to stay a bit and watch me and Krillen train?”
“Sure” Bulma said “Gohan is training with Piccolo and mum is picking up Fruiche from school today. I don’t think that we should let Krillen know that I’m pregnant and that we broke up. At least not today” Bulma said as they flew back.
“That’s a good idea. It might make the training session awkward” Yamcha said.
