Bulma's cerulean eyes scanned the small island that Krillin and the gang called home. There was not much space on the sandy beaches and that space was occupied by one, two story, pink house that was called the Kami House, which was indicated by the large, red lettering that was painted on the front side of the house. The ocean's breeze filled the island with a relaxing smell.

"So," Roshi began as Bulma turned to him. There was a small drip of blood hanging from his left nostril. "Your companion. He is your husband?" She looked at him, confusion clear on her young face.

"Hus...band," she repeated slowly, testing the word on her tongue. "That is not a word that I know."

"Don't they get married on your planet?" Krillin inquired as he entered the conversation. The girls also listened. Her cerulean eyes slanted for a moment as she tried to place the word, then her face relaxed as she realized what they were referring to.

"We take mates. That is an equivalent to getting married on your planet," she said.

"So, is he your mate?" Launch inquired. Bulma sighed sadly as she looked into the afternoon skies.

"He was going to be," she whispered. Chi-Chi and Launch sighed longingly as they too looked at the afternoon skies. Suddenly Bulma's head flew to the opposite direction, her bright eyes darkening. Everyone's eyes flew to the same direction as Bulma's body tensed. Her hands flew to her now beeping scouter. "It is him," she muttered as her turquoise tail flickered behind her anxiously. That's when everyone noticed her tail, but before they could say anything a male about five foot four landed before them. He was tan with emotionless onyx eyes and his dark reddish brown hair was up swept like a flame exposing his hereditary widow's peak. Bulma fell to her knee in a submissive position as her waist length turquoise hair fell around her shoulders and pale face. "Sire," she whispered reverently before straightening. Everyone behind her stood still as they watched the new man look down at Bulma, his face and eyes showed no emotion.

"You reek of him, woman," came a deep, husky voice. "Where is he?"

"He is being healed at the local medical facility. I found him unconscious when the planet wa-"

"He is your prince!" the man barked as he grabbed her neck. "You shou-"

"He is to be her mate!" Chi-Chi yelled stepping forward. All was quiet on the small island as the man released Bulma. The only sound was the waves crashing on the small island and the occasion squawk of a seagull. Krillin stepped forward to pull Chi-Chi back as the man moved closer, but she wanted to voice her opinion. "You are being disrespectful to the girl who will be your queen!" Bulma's cerulean eyes grew wide as she moved to protect her new friends. Vegeta looked down at the Blue Sayian and his frown deepened. "Woman, I am not past killing you, even if you are my brother's soon-to-be mate." Everyone gasped, but before he could punish them more, another dark haired man landed behind him. His armor was black like his hair, which was short and flew off in several directions.

"Prince Vegeta," he said, bowing quickly. "There is no one on this planet that has his power level."

"Kakarot, this girl before me tells me that he is at a medical facility healing." He turned to Kakarot. "She also claims to be his soon-to-be mate." Kakarot looked over Vegeta at Bulma.

"Bulma!" he cried, his voice and face transforming into that of a happy child that had just found their favorite toy. He practically mauled her as he pulled her into a tight bear hug. "Mother was so upset and father was worried." Bulma pulled her brother close as Vegeta just stared at them stupidly. He watched the familiar display, but he was unfamiliar with it. Relationships were rare on Vegeta-sei and Vegeta himself had never had one, except with his mother.

"What the fuck is going on?!" Vegeta growled, causing Kakarot to look over at him. Everyone stood still as they watched the scene before them unfold.

"Sire, this is Bulma. She is my twin sister that went missing in the attack on our docking bay." Vegeta recalled Kakarot telling him of his missing sibling, but he was sure that Kakarot had never told him that his sibling was a twin, much less a Blue Sayian. Blue Sayians were a dying breed that revered as being strong and alluring in their beauty, but Vegeta had never seen a female of them.

"Kakarot, you are a first class soldier right?" Kakarot nodded. "Your mother is one and your father is second class, both with dark hair and normal Sayian features, right?" He nodded again. "How did you end up with a Blue Sayian as a twin sister?" Then Vegeta held up his hand. "Never mind," he said. "What is your rank?" he inquired as he turned to Bulma.

"Elite, Prince Vegeta," she said as she stepped forward, Kakarot still very close to her, but Kakarot was not paying any mind to the conversation. He was looking behind Bulma a Chi-Chi, who was also looking back at him with a smile.

"Why have I never seen you with the Elites on the purges or why haven't you been appointed to guard a royal?" Bulma smiled.

"I am the Elite scientist as well, so I do not go on purges unless I want to. I love to fight, but I want to better our people," she paused for a moment, "to strengthen our people in a different way." Vegeta thought that she sounded just like a queen would. If she became one through his brother then she would better their race in more ways. The heir to the throne would be the most po- scratch that. With him and her together they would make powerful brats. With that thought he decided that he would steal his brother's soon-to-be mate and make her his own.

"Sire," Kakarot said, interrupting his train of thought. "Bulma said that this planet that we are on is called Earth and they are a little back wards in some of their thinking." Bulma stepped forward.

"Some of them are intelligent too," she said defensively.

"I don't care," Vegeta said. "Take me to my brother and your soon-to-be mate." Bulma opened her mouth to discredit that lie, but once again Chi-Chi stepped forward.

"You can see him tomorrow. They are running some tests and checking him out to see what is wrong." Vegeta looked at the dark haired woman with hate filled eyes, but before he could strike her Kakarot stepped in the way.

"Sire, we need to call the rest of our people and notify them of the prince's current condition," he said. Vegeta nodded.

"You can do that," he said before turning to Bulma who now had a young blond girl standing next to her. The girl's green eyes gleamed with mischief as she stared at him. "Where do we stay?" he asked Bulma.

"Well, except for royalty, our race may camp out in the woods to the east of here and then your family may stay in the house." Vegeta nodded as he headed for the house. Kakarot had gotten done talking to his people and now Chi-Chi was talking with him. Bulma headed into the house with Krillin and the gang following them. Soon the rest of the Sayian race would be here and Bulma wanted to prepare her friends for their arrival.
