Goku looked down at his feet for a moment, his face pink with embarrassment. Bulma's cerulean eyes darkened. She could not believe this! Her best friend and her lover!

"Goku," she whispered, her voice cracking with bridled emotion. He looked up, his charcoal eyes sad. They told the way of his soul.

"Sorry, Bulma," he said sadly. "I can't help the way I feel." Her eyes slanted as her darkened eyes turned a darker navy.

"Fuck your feelings!" she spat before taking to the darkening skies. Goku turned his charcoal eyes toward Vegeta.

"Damn it, Vegeta," he growled frustratingly. Vegeta narrowed his onyx eyes.

"Do not fucking blame this on me, weakling," he spat. "You should have broken it off with her before fucking the wench." Goku eyes narrowed in anger just seconds before he flew at the other Sayian, his aura flaring red around him.

"Fuck y-" Vegeta's white-gloved fist made impact with Goku's stomach, cutting him off in mid sentence. He fell to the ground where Chi-Chi ran to help him up.

"Understand me," Vegeta said as he looked at the pair. "I am your prince and to attack me means death, but because we need you in the upcoming battle I will let you live." Vegeta turned from the pair and headed for the training warriors. "Alright weaklings!"

Bulma sat on a boulder that overlooked the ocean. Her booted feet brushed against the white sand around the boulder, her cerulean eyes filled with tears that flowed down her pale cheeks.

"Stupid men," she muttered as she threw a stone into the ocean. "They never think about anyone, but themselves." Just as the sun was setting over the waters a woman appeared before her in the waters. Her pale skin glistened in the fading light and her green hair dripped with water. Bulma jumped back as the woman's light green eyes found her cerulean ones. "Who are you?" she inquired. The woman smiled as she showed the Sayian her dark green tail. "Oh, my, Kami! You are a mermaid!" The woman nodded.

"Hai, I am," she said. "My name is Preative and I have heard your anguish." Bulma moved closer. "I offer you an alternative to this life."

"Go on," Bulma urged as she sat back down on the boulder before the mermaid.

"You can become a mermaid until your true love comes for you."

"I have a battle in six months that decides the fate of Earth," Bulma stated.

"You will only become a mermaid at night, but for the first month you must stay in the water. No matter how much you yearn for the land. If you do step onto the land during the first month something dire will befall you." Bulma looked over her shoulder at her home in the distance, the mermaid's words in her head.

Goku held Chi-Chi close while they lay in their bed.

"Oh, Goku, Bulma is my oldest friend," she said sadly. "I didn't want to hurt her."

"Neither did I," Goku said. "I think that she will be okay though." Chi-Chi looked up at him.

"Will she forgive us?"

"I don't know," he said. "I don't know."

What do you think? Sorry about the delay. I just got my own computer so these chappies shall be coming more often. Yah!
