Fandom: DBZ
Pairing: Vegeta/Bulma
Author on LJ: Not Sure

Why this must be read: This is another take on the eternal mystery of how Vegeta and Bulma ended up together. Only, with a slightly different take and a positively kick ass Bulma.
The harsh laughter had an edge to it, broken and razor-sharp, and it sliced into my heart as he closed his eyes and leaned his head back. "Thankful. Feh. What have *I* to be thankful for?" He shifted, and continued absently, more to himself than I. "Once, I was Prince of a strong, thriving race. Now, I am one of only two. Once, I had purpose and a goal -- a mission. Now, my mission is thwarted, the prize taken by another and only ashes remain for me, of the dreams burnt down to nothing. Once, immortality was at my fingertips, and now...now, I am here with nothing, no rank, no wealth, no holdings, but only the royal title from a dead monarchy that my pride will not allow me to relinquish: Saiyajin no Ouji." Finally, he fell silent, gazing fiercely into the night sky, as if somewhere within he might find something he lost, a long time ago.
