Bulma stepped back from the large yellow machine she had just installed a CC4p90 engine, she examined the large egg-shaped contraption with a smile on her beautiful face, proud at her accomplishment of the day, she had finished the time travel machine, that mirari-Trunks had first traveled back in when he came to warn Goku and the other's of the androids. She tossed the pliers onto the clear plastic covering under the bottom of the engine compartment; she wore a white cover suit that protected her original clothes from the grease that appeared she had been swimming in. Her long blue hair was pulled up into a long ponytail and she wore mechanic gloves that were also soggy with grease.
"Dad, look, it's finished!" she shouted with joy, her eyes glittered with excitement. Dr. Briefs turned from the project he was working on to where his daughter stood, "Ah, yes, very nice dear. The power charger should be jumped off the prime energizer, "the quaky man replied as he pulled a cigar from his front lab coat pocket and popped it in his mouth, and then reached in his side pocket for a lighter.
"Yeah, I'm gonna hook it up now" Bulma said excitedly as she walked back up to the time machine and lifted a large latch beside the built-on ladder, she pulled out a large and heavy chord, allowing it to drop to the floor, she the drug the plug in side over to the large energizer and screwed it into place, after clasping the security latches she stood up straight and then flipped on the power switch and a small humming noise cut on.
"Ok, that's that. I am so excited I can't wait to try it out." She said, ""We'll first send it back just a few moments, to be sure that it is working with the analyzer git, to record records and procedures being carried on." She said.
"Mommy!" the voice echoed off the walls of the hallway that led to the 'Lab" Bulma turned to look to the swinging doors and a few second's later Bra, came bursting through the door's, leaving them swinging wildly after her form. Bra ran quickly up to her mother and hugged her tightly around her weist.
Bulma smiled and leaned down hugging the small girl gently, "Hey bunny, did you have fun with 'Grams'?" she said pulling up slightly to look at her daughter's face.
Bra smiled, nodded and then spoke, "Yes, mommy, I got three dresses, and…and, 2 shoes…" Bulma broke in, "You mean two pairs of shoes" she said with a smile, Bra continued, "Yes, and look" the pretty little girl held up a glass doll, with pink hair and pink eyes.
"Oh, well that's not creepy in the slightest." Bulma said sarcastically.
"Huh?" the seven year old asked.
"Nothing sweetie, she's very pretty, now wh…."Bulma paused "Bra, where are your shoes?" Bulma asked a little exasperation in her voice.
"Upstairs" she answered lightly. Bulma stood straight and back from Bra and then said, "Bra Rieanna Briefs!, you know not to come into the lab without shoes on. What if there was glass on the floor, or something had spilled?" Bulma asked firmly.
Bra stepped back and looked around her, "There's not mommy, ", Bulma sighed, "That's not the point, you know that when you take your shoes off at the door you put on your slippers or a pair of boots if you want to come in here." Bulma lifted the girl up onto her hip.
"Mommy, what's that?" the small child asked as she pointed to the time machine. Bulma's joy once more became evident on her face. "That bunny, is your mommy's 2nd best achievement in the whole world." She answered with a bright smile. Bra looked at her with question in her eyes. "Baby, it's a time machine, no one in the whole world has one, and do you see that one over there" Bulma turned and pointed to an exact replica of the first time machine that was plugged in, "It's not completely finished yet, but in a couple of weeks, we'll have two time machines." She finished.
"So you got the blasted contraption to work then" a rough voice, from behind her sounded. Bulma rolled her eyes and sighed. "Daddy" Bra squealed with a large sweet smile.
Bulma turned to look at her 'mate', Vegeta stood just inside the doorway, arms crossed and face in its ever present scowl.
"Yes actually, it's amazing; I got it finished before my predicted deadline. It simply has to be charged and then tested, but everything is right on the blue prints, there is no doubt in my mind it will work." She said with a satisfactory smile in Vegeta's direction.
"About time, now you can do something useful and finally update the gravity room. I have long since surpassed the 500x earth's normal gravity, I require higher intensity." He said, his facial expressions remaining the same.
Bra struggled out of her mother's arms and quickly made her way over to her father, "Look Daddy," she cried happily while shoving the doll up towards him. Vegeta uncrossed his arms and took the doll in one hand.
"Hie shlem gwans, melida." He said as he handed the doll back to her, Bulma looked to Bra who's smile widened and she accepted the doll back, and hugged it firmly.
"I hate it when you do that" Bulma said, Vegeta said nothing but looked back to Bulma, "I tolerate your in-sufferable, babbling on this planet and have allowed my sired to speak optional speech…" Vegeta started, "It's Japanese, Vegeta, Japanese and English, and very rarely do they speak foreign." She said, "Yet it is allowed, they shall too inherit the Saiyjin tongue." Vegeta added.
"I don't understand what you say to them though, and you make no means to explain." Bulma said smartly. Vegeta notes the sarcastic tone in her voice, he also noted her pulled-up yet messy hair and also the slight grease streaks on her porcelain face.
"I tell you what has need of concern.
