Chapter 17

The Tail came Back!

It had been a long two months for Bulma. She never noticed how truly lonely capsule corps was without Vegeta. There was no one for her to taunt or tell off. Sure she had her employees but they backed down and ran. She'd thrown herself into her work again. Any projects for Vegeta were forgotten.

The capsule car industry had been ignored recently . So Bulma had been tinkering away with some small ideas. She was sitting down at the desk admiring her new blue prints. It was then that her back started flaring up. It was as if all her spine was on fire. She leaned down on her desk screaming for some help. Some nameless employee came up to her.

"Miss..Miss Briefs are you okay?" He stammered.

Bulma glared at him. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK?"

"I..I'll go get help." The young man ran out of the building.

Bulma heard a ripping noise. Her pants had burst! *What is going on?* Tears were streaming down her face. The pain was familiar and yet so alien to her. Suddenly she felt that sensation. That fifth limb sensation.

She felt her butt. *My Tail! My tail is back.* Despite the agony Bulma couldn't help but smile.

"Oh Honey." Her mother had come running over. She had slightly coddled Bulma in the two months. Bulma clung to her mother beaming a big smile.

"I'm wonderful mom. Nothing to worry about." She gave her mom a big hug.

Mrs. Briefs looked at her concerned. "Have you bumped your head dear. George said you were in pain."

"I still am kinda. I just need to lie down." Bulma moved to her couch and landed on her stomach.

"I'll go get you some tea." Mrs. Briefs scurried away. Her tail was tinkling as the hair was growing back. It was irritating and itchy but she didn't dare interrupt the process.

*It feels like it's growing.* People came by and spoke. Her father had been one of them. Bulma hardly registered, she was too busy thinking. *He must have had a sudden understanding. Now that is one stubborn saiyan.* Bulma smirked as her tail stopped whatever it had been doing. The pain had stopped.

Curious, Bulma reached for her tail. It curled around her wrist like an old friend. "Well hello there." She said to it. It was slightly tender and twitched as she touched it.

*It feels different? I wonder if Shen Long knew what my tail was made of?* Bulma felt an urge to get it x-rayed. More for a piece of mind and her own scientific curiosity. She didn't hear the foot steps behind her. So when a hand touched her shoulder she whipped round. Her tail swung round with the motion. Hitting the person straight in the face.

Yamcha was sent flying into the wall. "Ow." He moaned.

"Yamcha?" Bulma asked she had hoped it was been Vegeta. Yamcha collapsed on the floor. There was a Yamcha shaped dent in the wall.

"Don't sneek up on people!" Bulma yelled. He hadn't visited since that night they officially broke up. She should have been happy but she couldn't hide her disappointment. It wasn't her Saiyan prince.

"Sorry babe. What did you hit me with. A secret weapon?" Yamcha scratched his head. There was a red stripe across his face.

"I've just got a new tail. Sorry I'm not use to it yet." Bulma said as she packed up her blue prints.

"Tail?" Yamcha's face froze as he saw the blue appendage. "Oh my god Bulma! Are you a Saiyan now?"

"No Yamcha." Bulma laughed. "I don't want to be a fighter. I'm a scientist I originally made it."

Yamcha still looked confused.

"Look 'babe' lets go catch up over tea, yeah?" Bulma pushed Yamcha out the door.

"Is that a subtle woman's hint to stop calling you babe?" He said to her.

"Yes Yamcha stop calling me babe." She laughed. Bulma was feeling so happy just now a decent conversation was exactly what she needed.

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

After some explaining.

"So now you and Vegeta are engaged?" Yamcha asked down heatedly. The last five minutes had been saddening for Yamcha. He had hoped on a small reconciled and maybe winning Bulma back. Now it was obvious she had fallen for the homicidal saiyan.

"Kind of, I think we are. He hasn't given me an answer." Bulma was blushing a deep red. She had left out a lot of detail. Just saying his name was bringing back the memories. Memories that Yamcha wouldn't want to share. All the kissing and fondling and oh yes the sex. *Can't forget that glorious bum.*

"Hey Bulma." Yamcha shook her out of her daydream. "Whatever nightmares you're reliving it's over."

Bulma pouted, they weren't nightmares. "Shut up idiot."

"That's more like the Bulma I know." Yamcha smiled.

"I'm still going to chase him when he gets back." Bulma said.

"Who says he's coming back?" Yamcha sneered. "Maybe you scared him off?"

Bulma's lips went into thin lines and her eyes narrowed. "I suggest you leave now." She hissed.

Yamcha backed away. His face was still stinging from her tail whipping him.

"I'll come back when you've calmed down, okay." He said as he ran out.

"Okay see ya Yamcha." She called back. Nothing he had said could spoil her mood.

Yamcha had been shocked and most of the conversation had been one sided. She now had the proof of Vegeta's love for her. *Wow I can't believe it. I really feel like running bare foot in a forest and singing.* Bulma started humming as she arranged to meet her old doctor.

Dialling the number she talked to the dumb receptionist for a few minutes. Avoiding the girls' nosy questions and made an appointment. *Just to make sure everything is fine.*

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

The doctors appointment, two hours later. (Capsule Corps has a company doctor.)

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

Bulma arrived at the surgery in plenty of time. She had been in a blissful heaven the past few hours. Most of her projects had been forgotten. Now she just lay around her house with a permanent smile. She was acting more like her ditzy mother that had concerned her dad.

Her family doctor, Dr. Chan was happy to see her. Shaking her hand he motioned for her to enter.

"You said you wanted your tail x-rayed? Is there complications with it?" He asked as he set up the small x-ray machine.

"Well you've heard of all my adventures doctor?" Bulma asked.

The man nodded his head. "Dragonballs that granted wishes? I've told you before Bulma I'd need to see it to believe it."

"Well I made a wish about my tail. It went away ... and I think the conditions of my wish were met so my tail grew back."

The doctor scratched his head. "That's not possible..."

"Just x-ray it Dr. Chan. My company does pay you." Bulma crossed her arms scowled.

The doctor laughed nervously. He didn't like Bulma when got angry. Especially when she made hints about his pay. He motioned for her to stand in the spot. A lead protective vest was wrapped around her chest.

"Okay I'll x-ray your hips. Just to see the connection. I don't think it'll be any different than last time." He chatted away nervously. Bulma stayed silent. Something in her gut was telling her to investigate it. Her tail was made with organic flesh and metal bones. It shouldn't have grown from her back.

Fifteen minutes later the doctor had her in his diagnosis room. Bulma was feeling like a child again. The chair was too high and her legs swung.

"Well Miss Briefs, it was very... interesting." Dr Chan said as he put the x-ray on the light box. Bulma looked at the x-ray.

"What exactly am I looking at?"

"It's all bone, the tail is made out of bone. Where as before.."

"It was metal." Bulma finished. "Oh crap the dragon made it real."

"A real human tail." Dr Chan mused. "Who thought it possible.."

"Thank you doctor." Bulma said getting up to leave.

"Oh Miss Breifs there was just one more thing." Dr Chan said gently.

"More? I don't think I can take any more." Bulma sat down again.

"Are you pregnant?" Dr Chan asked.

"No.. I had my period just recently. It was strange finished really quickly but.." Bulma stopped and looked at what the doctor was pointing at. There was a small dot on the x-ray.

"It could be nothing but please, could you take a urine test?" Dr Chan handed her an empty pot.

Bulma paled as she left for the bathroom. *Oh this is just great. Two things in one day.*

Authors Note: Oh how evil I am. Don't worry the reunion will occur next chapter. No, Bulma is not a Saiyan. She just has a real tail now. She's not going to start flying and fighting. That would be cool but I want to stick kinda close to the original. Also some woman can have a strange false period while pregnant. That's how you get some stupid bints not realising they're pregnant. Though I'm sure Bulma would have figured it out. There's no Vegeta in this chapter so I'll ask Chibi Vegeta to say a few words.

*Mz D pokes the chained up chibi Vegeta.*

Mz D: "Say something."

Chibi Vegeta: "Screw you." *Sticks up middle finger.*

Mz D: "Ain't he sweet?"
