Authors Note: Okay by my magical authors' powers I've gone back in time to when that wish was made. Hope this explains exactly what's going on!

Chapter 16

THE WISH!

Bulma unloaded her backpack. The seven dragonballs glimmered in the sun. She sighed deeply. Bulma knew this was a risk but she had to do it. She held out her hands and said the chant.

"Oh mighty dragon by your name I awake you. Arise Shen Long." The skies darkened and looked almost bruised; black, blue and purple. The green dragon seemed illuminated against the skies. His large red eyes examined Bulma. To him she must seem like an insect.

"Speak your wish mortal." He bellowed. Bulma winced a little. Shen Long was notoriously impatient.

"I ask if it is possible to put conditions on a wish?" Bulma said as confidentally as she could. It had been easier with friends behind her.

"It depends, my powers are limited." The dragon growled as if irritated.

"I have recently acquired a tail." Bulma pulled her tail forward to show the dragon. He didn't seem that interested. "I think the man I love is only attracted to me because of it."

"I cannot make mortals fall in love." He sneered.

"No, that's not my wish." Bulma sighed. "I want my tail to go but only to return if the man truly loves me."

Shen Long raised his eyebrows. "Interesting, speak your wish mortal. I should be able to do it. Say the name of the man."

Bulma nodded smiling. Finally something was going right. "I wish that my tail would disappear; only to reappear if Vegeta truly loves me."

She glanced up expectantly. Trying to look as sober as she could. Bulma knew she had made the mushiest wish in her life. She could always blame the hours of romantic novels she read in her spare time.

"This is a very bizarre wish" Shen Long boomed. "Very well it shall be done." In a flash of light the dragon returned to his slumber. Bulma grasped her behind. She was feeling unbalanced all of a sudden. Then she heard the footsteps.

Vegeta was running towards her. Panic was evident in his eyes.

*Does he care about my tail?* Bulma couldn't hold back her tears. She could see the hurt in his eyes. She had said they would do it together. *Did he really want to be here when I made my wish?*

"WOMAN!" He shouted at her.

*Crap, he looks mad as hell.*

"No! You MORON you couldn't wait." He was storming over to her.

Bulma was feeling miserable. Her tail was still gone. He didn't love her.

"I was going to say KEEP it. I like the look on you but forget it." He was up to her face now. He looked tall and threatening to her.

*What does it matter he's ripped my heart out without even knowing about it.* Bulma tried to speak but the crying was making it difficult. "It's ....it's not...(sniff)...like that ...I.." She broke down and cried into her hands. Her balance without the tail made her want to fall over. She had daydreamed this moment to be much nicer and well romantic.

"So much for waiting." He yelled. "Mates are suppose to do these things together. Guess you're not wife material." He turned his back on her and walked away. Bulma couldn't see his face. Everything became a blur.

"Vegeta... I love you." She whispered softly. She gave into her urge and fell down. The lack of tail was disorientating. It hadn't been so bad getting the tail. It had felt good with the extra balance.

*He doesn't love me. Now he won't even trust me.* She thought miserably to herself. She didn't know how long she'd been on the grass. She'd only noticed it was dark when her mother came for her. A blanket was draped over her shoulders.

Uncharacteristically her mother was silent and rubbed her shoulders. Trying to bring some more warmth into her. She hardly blinked when a capsule ship blasted off behind her.

It took Bulma another hour before she realised. "Daddy you let Vegeta GO." She screamed from her bed. She almost threw her hot cocoa at him.

Dr. Briefs tried to calm his daughter down. "Now, you know I couldn't stop him even if I'd know."

"But I love him." Bulma cried some more. The tears threatening to surface again.

"Um..." Dr. Briefs couldn't say anything. He hated it when she cried and always gave in. This time he couldn't give her the one thing she wanted. Their house guest Vegeta.

"He..he's a grown man princess. I suspect he'll be back." Dr. Briefs began backing away. He knew what happened when she never got what she wanted. He ducked as the cocoa came crashing over his head.

"GET OUT TRAITOR!"

Dr. Briefs ran out. He sometimes wondered where she got that temper. *It definitely didn't come from my side of the family.* He moped his sweating brow and escaped to his laboratory.

Bulma crossed her arms and scowled. *The jerk left without hearing what my wish was.* She leaned back and began crying again.

*****************************

Vegeta's space capsule landed on a barren moon. He had been travelling for two months now. Bulma still haunted his dreams. He wouldn't have cared really if she did want to loose her tail. He would have mourned it. It had come in very useful a few times. He surveyed his new surroundings. A large electrical storm was raging across the small planet.

*Mhmmm just suits my mood.* Vegeta thought. *I shall train here. It feels more like home than Earth.*

He had only begun his warm up when a meteor shower hit. Vegeta began blasting away any rocks that endangered his capsule pod. That was his only escape from the moon. He wasn't going to die here.

*I am the prince of Saiyans. I shall die in battle not by some stupid rocks.* Though Vegeta found it ironic he hadn't been killed yet. He had always assumed his resurrection was a mistake. His fight raged for a good hour. Vegeta was exchausted but his pride kept him upright. He couldn't think straight just destroy the meteors.

Suddenly a large meteor came plunging down. Vegeta hit it with everything he'd got. It still came. He landed in the dirt screaming.

Maybe he was inadequate to be a prince of Saiyans. He was never going to be super Saiyan. It was fate laughing at him. He was not good enough to control his emotions. Vegeta would be out classed by a fool forever. He would be taunted by that woman forever. This was hell, not the world that waited for him.

This world he lived in now was his own personal hell. He accepted his fate. Realising his true emotions as they erupted from him.

He loved Bulma. That was what was keeping him back. His stubborness to ignore his emotions. He couldn't ignore a feeling like this. It was a distraction in itself.

The epiphany hit him and a new surge of power emerged. A golden aura surrounded his body. He screamed louder the energy charging him. He became Super Saiyan.

The large boulder was crumbled into dust by his big bang attack. Vegeta had done it. His life long quest had been achieved. Though now was at a loss of what to do with the woman. Bulma had helped him in her own small way. It had been the key to push him further.

*Well I'm just going to have to tell her thank you. In my own princely manner.* He strode back to his battered space pod. It would take him back to earth.

********************************

Authors Note: I'm a big sap sometimes. I know that it was Vegeta's humility that made him turn super saiyan. I just made Bulma a bigger feature. Hey it's Vegeta do you think he would mention mushy stuff? Maybe he did think about Bulma when turning super saiyan. It makes a better story this way.

Also big kudos to Nique on fanfiction.net who was the closest to guessing Bulma's wish. I mean REALLY close I was sweat dropping! Mz D glances at the tied up Chibi's.

Mz D: "So how's my cutest prince doing." *Tries to pinch Chibi Vegeta's cheek but he bites.*

Chibi Vegeta: "Grrrr.. go away you're mean."

Mz D: "And you're out of character but oh so cute." *Does goofy grin.*

Chibi Vegeta: "I am the prince of saiyans I'll destroy you." *Goes super saiyan and breaks ropes. Chibi's are now free and chasing Mz D.*

Mz D: "ARGGHH! You can't do that!" Will update soon.....if the Chibi's don't kill me!
