"Wake up Sam. Entering planets atmosphere in one minute," the computerized voice informed the single occupant of the space pod.

The inhabitant of the pod paid the voice little notice, instead focused entirely on the mission at hand. Looking intently through the portal, the blue planet grew larger with every second.

Upon atmospheric entrance, the computers voice spoke again, "landing in ten seconds. 10 . . . 9 . . . 8 . . ."

The pod's resident could sense several high powers near the landing sight. It had to be them.

"3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . ."

Vegeta couldn't believe his eyes. "It can't be," he whispered, only loud enough for Goku, who stood by his side, to hear.

"Is she dangerous?" He asked his stunned mate.

"I don't know," he stated.

The space pod's former occupant stood, scouter fixed firmly in place, and floated slowly out of the crater. She flew over the two Saiyans and landed some feet away. She stood at shoulder height to Goku, just taller than Vegeta. She wore a very revealing red leather outfit that left little to the imagination. The shorts went only inches down her thighs and her midriff was left bare. Her shirt only covered what was a necessary and thin straps held it by the shoulders. Her red and orange striped tail was wrapped firmly about her waist.

Gohan and Piccolo flew swiftly to stand beside Goku and Vegeta. The four stood their ground before the new arrival, unsure if she was friend of foe.

"What is you mission?" Vegeta asked.

"I must eliminate all Saiyans," she said, her voice a complete monotone.

"What is she?" Gohan asked, noticing the furry appendage wrapped securely around her waist.

"She's a Cattan," Vegeta said, suddenly a little apprehensive. "We have to get that collar off her neck without killing or hurting her too badly."

"How come?" Goku asked, curious as to why his mate seemed to be concerned about her welfare.

"She is being controlled by that collar. If we get it off, she'll forget her mission and be peaceful."

"All right. How are we gonna do that?" Piccolo asked.

"Kakarrot and I will have to fight her. At the first chance we get, we'll grab her while you two grab the collar. Ready?"

"Right," the three answered together.

Throughout the conversation, the girl was preoccupied using the scouter to ascertain whether more Saiyan's existed besides the two before her.

"There are five Saiyans to kill," she stated, looking over at the little welcoming party.

At that, the three Saiyans powered up to Super Saiyan level one. Goku and Vegeta launched an all out offensive, kicks and punches flying from all directions. Sam countered each attempt with ease, knocking first Goku and then Vegeta back to the ground.

They were both up; quick as lightning, though Goku looked a little surprised at the amount of energy he seemed to be picking up from this girl. Vegeta, on the other hand, didn't look surprised at all about how strong she seemed to be, he just kept up the attack.

After the third time both of the fighters were knocked to the ground, they both glanced at each other and powered up to level two. The girl simply watched them with a steady gaze and waited for their attack. Once they wore themselves down she would finish them off.

As that soon proved futile, they decided to go for all. They both powered up to level four, fur covering their bodies and their tales lashing violently behind them. They launched once more and she seemed to be having some difficulty keeping two lever four Saiyans at bay.

Goku managed to distract the girl enough for Vegeta to get behind her without her noticing. He wrapped his arms around her, pinning her arms to her sides and holding her with all his might. She struggled against him but Goku joined him quickly enough to hold her legs from kicking out.

Gohan, seeing a chance, launched from the ground, Piccolo close behind. The girl happened to maneuver her arm so that she formed a small ki blast in her palm. She launched it at the approaching boy and knocked him momentarily to the side. Unfortunately, she wasn't quick enough to do the same to the following Namek and soon found herself face to face with him.

Piccolo grabbed the collar with both hands and, using all his strength, broke the collar into two. It fell to the ground as she stared in shock at what had just happened. Vegeta told Goku to release his grip and slowly lowered her to the ground, his arms still wrapped tightly around her. She didn't struggle anymore and as soon as Vegeta released her, she fainted.

Trunks and Goten sensed that the fight was over, their fathers having dropped back out of super Saiyan. Upon telling their mothers, they flew over to the group and landed some distance from the woman lying on the ground.

"Who is she?" Goku asked, walking over to his sons and looking back at his mate who followed closely.

They stood in a group as Vegeta began to explain, "she's an old . . . I guess you could say she's my friend. She worked on Frieza's ship at the same time that I did."

"You have a friend," Bulma said, incredulously.

Vegeta scowled at her and then turned around when he heard a scraping as the girl awoke. He took a few steps towards her as she sat there for a moment, getting her bearings, and just staring at the ground in front of her. She reached up to her throat and rubbed it experimentally as if assuring herself that the collar had really been removed.

"You never have to wear that collar again Sam," Vegeta said, causing the girl to gasp slightly and slowly raise her head until their eyes met. Her eyes began to shimmer as unshed tears threatened to fall and a smile spread slowly across her face.

She then leapt to her feet and ran full out at him. He hadn't expected such a reaction and so was unprepared for her when she lunged at him. He fell to his back as she straddled his stomach and hugged him with all her might while squealing, "'Geta!"

Vegeta almost had the wind knocked out of him but somehow managed to speak, despite the enormous growth that had somehow attached itself to his chest. "Get off me!"

"Can't do that," she said, "I missed you so much." She sat up a little, her legs still pinning his arms and said, in a scolding tone, "Where were you? I had to wait so long and do you know what happened. My ship broke down on some weird planet and I couldn't complete that stupid mission and it's your entire fault." She huffed, poking him in the chest at random intervals and then folding her arms across her chest, looking down at him with a glare.

During this exchange, Goku's growling had become audible and was now almost beyond menacing, it was down right deadly.

She then took a good sniff in Vegeta's general direction and then squealed again, causing all present to wince, "Ooh! You have a mate. Who is it?" She asked, just then looking up and noticing the others gathered around. As soon as she spotted Goku, she got up from her position on Vegeta and proceeded to glomp Goku, pinning his arms to the side and laying her head on his chest. Taking a deep breath she said, in a tone somewhere between serious and humorous, "you take good care of him cause if you don't I'll have to hurt you. So what's your name?"

"Goku," he said, slightly confused at the turn of events, "but 'Geta calls me Kakarrot."

"Sam," Vegeta said exasperatingly, noticing the puzzled look that now graced his mates face. "Let him go already."

"But he's all soft and squishy." Sam said, pouting a bit, but then she released Goku after a few seconds and continued to look around at the group assembled. "Hello everyone," she said, "my names Sam . . . well, actually its Samantha but if you call me that I'll have to kill you." Unfortunately, no one was certain whether she was joking or not, but with Vegeta so calm they were certain she was of no threat at the moment.

"Who are they 'Geta?" She asked, turning to the Saiyan prince and then back to the group, hoping to be introduced.

Vegeta stepped up to stand beside her and said, "those are Kakarrot's brats," he pointed to Gohan and Goten, "and that's my brat," he pointed to Trunks, "those are their mothers," he pointed to Chi-chi and Bulma, "and that's the Namek," he pointed to Piccolo.

Sam turned to him exasperatedly, "but what are they're names?" She whined.

"I'm Gohan and this is Goten," Gohan said, trying to make up for Vegeta's lack of information, "this is my mom, Chi-chi, that's Trunks and his mom, Bulma and that's Piccolo."

"Nice to meet you all," she said in an overly chipper voice. She then turned to Piccolo, her eyes brightening, and proceeded to glomp him. "I like green," she said, his arms pinned to his sides. She didn't even seem to notice that he was growling and seemed to be getting a little angry.

"You're all soft and squishy too," she said, hugging him a little tighter before finally letting go. Gohan was ready to pounce just in case he decided to attack her.

Vegeta looked a little uncomfortable at the moment and decided that he would think on their way back to Capsule Corp. "Let's get to CC so you can check her out," he said to Bulma.

She nodded and Sam spoke up, "what's a CC?"

"It's the company my family owns. Capsule Corporation is the largest and richest in the world," Bulma stated proudly, earning a snort from Vegeta. She just glared at him and said, "Well, let's go."

Trunks carried Bulma while Gohan carried Chi-chi. Everyone else could fly under his own power. Sam flew along side Vegeta, every once in a while doing barrel rolls and flips. She seemed to be having fun but she made Piccolo quite uneasy.

Sam could sense his uneasiness and used her innate telepathic abilities to ask him in private, 'you have mates too, right?'

Piccolo was so startled that he almost fell out of the air. This caused Gohan to look at him in concern but Piccolo just shook his head and motioned that he was fine. 'How are you doing this?' he asked.

'Cattan's are telepathic and I sensed that you were secretive but I wanted to talk to you. Anyway, Gohan is your mate right? So who is your other mate?'

'Gohan's mate is Videl and that's all anyone knows,' he sent, knowing that she wouldn't say anything about it. 'I live with them but his mother cannot know.'

'Ok, I won't say anything. I promise,' she said vehemently. She then slowed slightly so she was right beside Piccolo and flew a little above him. Before he knew it, she had glomped him from behind and was holding him around his middle. He tried to pry her hands off and was growling rather loudly.

Gohan couldn't help but laugh a little even though in the back of his mind he was a little jealous. "Let go!" Piccolo growled loudly.

"All right," she said as she let go and then pouted, "but I still like you." She smiled and flew up to be beside Vegeta once again.

Vegeta just looked at her and sighed, a little smile gracing his lips for only a second before turning into his trademark smirk.

Goku saw the smile and became a little jealous. He didn't know who this girl was or what she had to do with his mate but no matter what he wanted to know what their connection was.

A/N: Sorry for anyone who thought the person in the pod was Saiyan, but I have a whole new race in mind. Don't worry about her though, she has enough power to last against the Saiyan's, especially during a full moon *hint, hint*.
