Kakkarot retrieved Bulma from her room as he said he would. They silently made their way to the Saiyan ship that awaited them. Bulma's eyes lit up when she noticed the control panel for the ship. It could be understood in many different languages. Kakkarot figured the princess had never seen a Saiyan ship since they were all programmed that way.

Bulma was strapped into her seat on the Saiyan space ship and ready for the challenge of stealing the Prince's heart. Her mother always knew how to put a smile on her face. Oh, how she will miss her. "We will be lifting off in four, three, two, one...” the computer system's monotone stated. The ascent was bumpy, but Bulma had done this many times with her father traveling to distant planets for treaties. "So, Kakkarot, how long will it take to arrive on your planet?" He unbuckled his seat belt and turned to her with a smile on his face. "We will arrive in four hours. It doesn't take that long to travel from your planet to mine since your planet's technology has enhanced our busters." What was he talking about? "My planet helps with your technology? When was someone going to tell me? I never knew of this. I am the princess and have a right to know what dealings we are doing with other planets," she was steamed. Kakkarot knew this princess would match wits with Vegeta. "I believe our planets have had an alliance for many years now. It has probably been so before you or I was born. I hear our King and your father are very close friends. They have been so for many years." He could not help but notice the red in the cheeks of the princess. She was angry and felt left out. I had never even heard of planet Vegeta before this week, but my father has been in an alliance with them for years. I will definitely remember to speak with my father about this upon my return.

A few hours have passed and nothing was spoken between the two bored aliens. Bulma could not take the silence any longer so decided to learn a few things about the prince. “So this Prince Vegeta is arrogant I hear, correct?" she asked Kakkarot. He was stunned to hear those words leave her mouth. No one dared to speak of their prince like that. He didn't know if he should tell her the truth or let her see for her self when they arrive on the planet. He decided to indulge her. "Well Prince Vegeta is not that bad when you are on his good side. Well that's if you think he has a good side," he said as princess Bulma looked at him with expecting eyes. "What are you to the prince and your planet?" she asked still probing for information. "I am the Prince's personal guard, not that he needs one, but the King insisted he have one. I am also his training partner since I am the only one he has not yet been killed or too badly injured. I guess you could say we are friends, but I wouldn't say that around him since he thinks he doesn't need friends because they are a weakness." Well that was more than Bulma anticipated him to tell. "So he doesn't have any friends and he doesn't want a mate so what does he strive for in life, Kakkarot?" she needed to know as much information as she could get about this prince. "Well he wants to rule the universe, of course. He is destined to be the Legendary and our people expect him to be within grasp of it when he picks a mate. Once he has bonded with his mate, he will receive more power and hopefully become the Legendary," Kakkarot said as if Bulma already knew these facts. She, of course, did not so she was scared to ask the next questions.

"So what is the Legendary and what does bond to his mate mean exactly?" Kakkarot was surprised to hear her ask what she should already know if she wanted to become the next Queen of planet Vegeta. He then remembered that she was forced to go there and she probably did not know a single thing about Saiyans. "Well being the Legendary means to become stronger tenfold. The Legendary will be a super Saiyan. That means Prince Vegeta will be stronger, faster, and smarter in battles. He will be the strongest in the universe," Kakkarot said with excitement in his voice. Bulma began to think, "So he will be stronger than the tyrant that wants to take over my planet and others?" Kakkarot nodded, "That is what we are hoping." He began to think he should inform her of the Saiyan culture. They were only an hour and a half from landing. "Bulma, do you know anything about Saiyans?" he asked hoping he wouldn't have to go into much detail. "Well, I know they occupy the planet Vegeta, they are very strong, and do not get along very well with other species," she said with a slight giggle. Bulma was in for a rude awakening. "Well you are right when you say those things, but there are other issues we need to discuss about my culture. I am probably the nicest Saiyan you will meet on my planet. My parents told me that I hit my head when I was a baby so I lost the attitude most Saiyans possess. My species is cruel and could care less if you are a princess from a different planet. They want their prince to mate with a Saiyan woman, but the King thinks it best to give the prince variety when choosing his mate. No one on our planet is bold enough to go against his wishes, but will kill or rape you if you are left alone outside of the palace." He noticed Bulma cringe at his words and felt guilty for telling her, but had to let her know.

Bulma was terrified by his statement because she thought she would always be protected while on planet Vegeta. "Kakkarot, will I not have a guard at all times? I would not venture any where alone if I knew that would be the consequences." Bulma believed herself to be a strong and smart woman, but if these Saiyans were as strong as her father warned her than she would not last long on her own. "Yes, Bulma, you will have a guard if you wish to leave the palace walls, but on the inside we have other priorities to handle. You will be placed in a room with another princess as we have many Elite warriors roaming the palace these days and do not have enough rooms for you to have your own. I apologize for this, but that is what I was told." Kakkarot could see the apprehension in her body and knew she did not want to be here now. Thirty minutes until landing.

"Kakkarot, what does the prince look like? I mean how will I know him from the others?" Bulma thought she asked a stupid question until Kakkarot's face lit up. "You do know some things about Saiyans then." What is he talking about? "I don't mean to act oblivious as to what you are talking about, but I am." Kakkarot's face fell. "I am sorry. I thought you knew. All Sayains have black hair and black eyes. Even the King and the Prince look like their people. Trust me when I tell you that you will know who the King and Prince are when you enter the palace. They are hard to miss when sitting on thrones and dictating orders." He knew after the words left his mouth that she would be angry. "I am not stupid, Kakkarot. I know how royalty act. If you do not remember, I am royalty myself," she huffed and she turned her head to see the red planet that was coming into view. Is that planet Vegeta? It looks like a large blob of blood. That can not be a good sign.

Home sweet home Kakkarot thought as Vegeta came into his sight. He looked towards Bulma and sensed she was frightened. "Bulma, I am sorry for what I said. The Prince and King look like everyone else, but you will know who they are soon enough." Bulma nodded her head in agreement. This was going to be a long day indeed.
