Happy official Thanksgiving! My dinner didn't last long, so I had enough time to throw a chapter out there. It has been what a lot of you have been waiting for, so I hope you enjoy it! It is kind of rushed, but honestly, I had no idea what filler to do so I just got straight to the point. So instead of making you guys read chapters of random filler, here this cluster chapter is :D

It has been a week since I have met my father. In that time, I very rarely got to visit Goku, about once a day or so. There wasn't a reason I hadn't seen him, but since I could not enter the Gravity Chamber with him and he couldn't hear me, I would just make sure he was doing alright and go back to learning about my dad and the family we once had. I had learned so much in this time that since Goku wasn't with me, it was like my life was never altered and soon my father would be 100% sure that I was his.

As I waited outside of the lab while he concluded the results, I was excited about what was all to come. I was going to have a dad again, not that this week hadn't felt like that, but I would also get to see Goku. It was a shame that he had to be cooped up the whole time and wasn't able to experience all of these new things with me. I learned what swimming was and how to do it, I learned what a cat was since my father had a little black one that was enthralled with being on his shoulder, and I learned a ton of weird scientific things. I could feel my father holding back just in case it wasn't actually me, but it was delightful nonetheless.

After the body examination he had done, things seemed to have brightened up between us. I learned that even though I lived on another planet, I was a perfectly healthy person. I mean, I was a perfectly healthy Human. He was surprised to see that besides my appendix being removed, my body was not altered at all. I'm pretty sure he was expecting me to be resistant to some sort of something, but I was normal. We talked about the removal of my appendix on Planet Vegeta, there was literally no trace that my body had ever been opened up yet my useless organ was gone. I told him how they did it and he was marveled by what happened. He referred to it as a 'high medical advancement that could change the way us humans did surgery!' I was glad I could help in some sort of way I guess.

This week was a dream, but it would soon be complete with me having a full family. I would have my dad and I would have my Saiyan. It was nice to imagine us all out together doing normal family things such as all of the dinners I experienced with my father. I wanted us all to get along and I knew that we would. He would learn that Goku wasn't some 'pimp' that was trying to get money from him by bringing him a false daughter and I would get the satisfaction of a happy ending. I was so nervous being only a few moments away from living this beautiful life.

It felt like a million years that my father had been in there, I couldn't believe that getting the results could take so long to do. He had been in there for quite some time. That's when the door finally opened.

"So?" I asked nervously as I looked at him. He wasn't holding any sort of paperwork nor was he holding the vial from a week ago.

"You're my daughter." His eyes lit up as a smile crept across his face while looking at me. "I never knew that I would ever get to see you again, yet here you are." He walked closer to me as I stood up so we could embrace in a hug. Sure, we had had a week together and bonded, but this was the final piece of the puzzle that he needed to confirm our new lives together.

"I told you!" I couldn't help but cry, knowing he had some solace that I had already had. This was hard for the both of us, a long road that was now over. "Come on, let's go tell Goku! He's going to be so thrilled!" I broke the hug, grabbing my fathers hand to lead him to the Gravity Chamber where the Saiyan had been for an entire week.

Our hands disconnected.

I turned around to my father who had not budged from the spot where we hugged. "Don't be nervous, he won't hurt you. He's the reason why I am here today. He's a good guy, I promise." I smiled while walking back over to him, standing only a couple of feet apart.

"There's something you need to know. Come with me." He turned around leading into the laboratory. With a lift of my brow, I followed him in.

"What is it, dad?" I never got tired of calling him that.

"Take a seat right here." He pulled out a stool next to a table. Complying, I sat down while he went across the table to sit down next to me. Grabbing some papers from the table and sliding them towards me, he asked me to read.

As I sat there reading, I didn't have the slightest clue what I was suppose to be comprehending. "What is this?" I asked as I set the papers down.

"I'm about to tell you something that is going to shock you. I do not think you're going to be mentally capable of handling this information, but I would not feel right not telling you right now." His tone was serious as his once heartfelt eyes turned into sadness.

"I'm a lot stronger than you think." I calmly spoke as I put my hands in my lap. Had he not remembered my whole story of being enslaved by another race and surviving it all for 15 years? I could handle whatever he had to throw at me.

"The brute, or Goku as you call him." His voice paused as my eyes grew worried.

"Is he alright? Did the Gravity Chamber do something to him?!" I had just seen him the day prior and he seemed fine, I didn't know what could have possibly happened.

"He's fine." My heart calmed back down as I wiped the sweat from my palms on my pants. "He is the reason you were enslaved." He kept his eyes on me.

"That's not possible." I laughed as I looked at my father. Of course Goku wasn't there when my family was slaughtered, there was no way.

"Yes it is. I matched his DNA with the DNA that was left at the scene 15 years ago. He was the small boy that killed your mother and brothers." He grabbed the papers that were in front of me, flipping three pages until one of the sheets had two comparing results on them. "You see here, the two strains of DNA that I have collected from long ago and last week are identical. DNA does not lie. You are my daughter, and he is the being that destroyed our family." His tone was low as he spoke to me.

"You're lying." I held the paper in disbelief as I studied it, looking at both pictures and seeing where everything had matched. "How can that be? He has only been to Earth to collect humans. He wouldn't be the right age to have done this, he would have only been a boy at this time." I remembered how old he was and how old I was. If what he was saying was true, Goku would have only been around 10 years old.

"Do you remember when one of them said 'Show me'? Well, he wasn't aiming the statement at us, he was asking the boy. As to why, I don't know." I could feel my hands trembling as I set the paper down and looked my father in the eye as he spoke. "I'm sorry, Bulma."

"No, I don't want to believe it." I spoke with teary eyes. This changed everything. He was the reason that my family was dead. He was the reason why I was enslaved. He was the reason why I lived the way that I did. Was he only nice to me because he felt he owed me something? Did he feel bad for his actions so he was trying to remedy his mistakes?

"But you do believe it." My father broke my chain of thought. I had never felt so low in my life. My heart was about to break out of my chest with how hard it was beating. My head was spinning. I was at a loss. I was lost. How could this be happening.

I nodded my head at his question.

"I just need some air." I ran out of the laboratory, making my way to the Gravity Chamber to ask if all of this was true. I felt my fathers hand on my shoulder, he had followed me out.

"Let me talk to him first." I could hear the sincerity in his voice. I didn't know what to say anyway, so I complied and began to walk towards the door outside of the house while my father went behind me and walked towards the chamber.

Once outside, I just began to run. I didn't know how to react to anything going on in my body that running seemed to be the only thing that I could manage. My mind was fucked, my emotions were fucked, my life was fucked. What kind of lie had I been living with him? I trusted him. He was my dream when I was having a nightmare. He was my calm when a storm was brewing on Planet Vegeta. He was the sanity in the insane lifestyle that I had been living. He was the only reason I had made it as far as I had on that planet. And now, I find out that he was the reason why it all happened in the first place?! I could have had a family. I could have had a mother and brothers. I could have done my whole life without being forced to do anything I did not want to. My father could have had a wife and kids and a normal life, too. Because of Goku, because of that Saiyan, the Briefs family was in shambles.

After what felt like forever running, I stopped and cried. I had no idea where I had made it but I knew I was still on my father's property somewhere. My low cries turned into loud yells as I began to pick up rocks that were in my reach and throw them. After I threw all that I could find, I sank down into the grass and just looked up into the sky. Most people were looking into a great unknown, but I was looking at a hell. It brought me no peace looking up at the blue sky or the white clouds soaring across it.

"Fuck you!" I yelled out into the sky. It wasn't even a 'fuck you' to Goku himself but at everything that had gone wrong. I closed my eyes to not see the horrible void up above anymore.

"Well that's not a very nice thing to say." Where the sun had once illuminated my eye lids now grew a shadow. I recognized that voice. My heart began to race once more as I opened my eyes to see the familiar Saiyan standing above me. I quickly stood up to face him.

"Nappa…" I spoke as fear swept across my whole body, replacing all previous emotions. "How did you find me?"

"Oh, it was easy. I had been watching you for a day or so but knew I couldn't make my move since Goku was near, but with you running off, you have just made it so easy." He smirked as he looked at me. I knew he looked at me like a pathetic, weak human.

I didn't even know what to say as I began to back up slowly. I was no match for him at all. I didn't want to, but I knew my only safety in this moment was Goku, so I screamed his name.

"Oh, shut up, that's not going to help you now." Nappa spoke as he quickly grabbed me, throwing me into the ship he had come in on and launching up into the sky. I was only praying that Goku had heard me, but at this point, I was alone and back into the clutches of the Saiyans.

"Why did you even come back?" I asked as he set me down to control the ship and enter the coordinates in back to Planet Vegeta.

"Because we failed the first time." He sat down at the controls, spinning his chair around to look at me as soon as he was done. I stood there unsure of what to do. I was shaking, not being able to control the fear that I was feeling. Even though I spent 15 years with them and I knew this Saiyan well, I couldn't help but shutter. The couple weeks I had been free had broken down my tolerance wall that I had built up. I felt freedom, and now I was back to feeling enslaved. I was claustrophobic.

"What do you mean you failed the first time?" I asked as I remained where I was.

"Did you not think we would come after you when you left? Goku went against his race and you tried to escape. You are both wanted by the Royal Family for treason." His voice was strong, flowing through my body so easily. I forgot how intimidating they all were.

"So he ordered you to come back when you didn't bring me back the first time?" I trembled as he nodded his head in response.

"It was harder to find you this time since you both left such a cold trail, but you must realize that the humans that work for us are everywhere, so since some of them had seen you two around the town, it was easy to pinpoint you this time. That blonde hair took me for a trip, too." He laughed as he felt proud of himself.

I felt sick to my stomach knowing that the whole time I felt safe, someone was able to watch us and report our whereabouts. "Where is Raditz? I thought you guys always traveled together." I was watching my back to see there was another Saiyan I had to worry about on this ship.

"He's helping the Prince take over another planet at the moment."

"So, he didn't feel like you were going to be of use and put you on this task instead?" I referred to prince Vegeta. It wasn't like the two Saiyans to be split up since they were his main crew.

Nappa stood up at my comment, walking closer to me. I forgot how massive these creatures were as he easily shadowed my whole body without even being close to me. "You've had such free speech lately, haven't you?" He smirked once more as he looked at me, making me back up against a wall. "Apologize, slave." I could feel him spit that word out at me, trying to remind me of my place. I kept quiet. "Apologize to me, slave." He remained calm as he lowered his head to whisper it in my ear. I could feel his hot breath sending stress signals down my body.

"I'm sorry." I whispered against the wall. I just wanted him away from me. I wanted out of this. I just wanted to die at this point.

"Good girl." He patted my head before walking back towards the controls.

I hadn't even noticed that I had been holding my breath until I began to gasp for air. I couldn't believe I was back in this ship. I couldn't believe that I was heading on my way back to prince Vegeta. I couldn't believe that the only reason I knew of the prince was because of Goku. It was like life was dangling hope in front of me just long enough for me to almost grasp it before yanking it away from me. I was back in the hands of the Saiyans, and it wasn't going to be long until I met the prince once more.

Oh no, she's finally going back D:
