The wish that never was

Disclaimer: I don't own 'em, I just think Chibi Vegeta is cute!

A/N: I just thought it would be neat if Bulma actually made that wish...


Bulma looked with satisfaction at the six Dragonballs she had collected, her companion, the ridiculously-strong-for-his-age Son Gokou was looking for the last one. Her bleeper had indicated that it was not far away.

'Soon...' she thought, 'soon I will have all seven Dragonballs and I will be able to wish for the perfect boyfriend!'

There was a loud clattering noise and shuffling of feet heard not far away, and a piercingly annoying voice calling:

"Where's my Dragonball!? Do you have it??? I want my Dragonball!"

Bulma cringed, that sounded an awful lot like that Pilaf dude that was following them around all the time... A rustling in the bushes interrupted her thoughts, she tried not to panic, what if that was one of Pilaf's men trying to steal the Dragonballs? Her worries were set aside when she saw the brown furry tail sticking out of the foliage.

"Come out Gokou..." she called tiredly, the boy complied and crawled out of the bushes, grinning a characteristic grin, he held up his prize. Bulma almost leapt for joy, but kept quiet, as they could be spotted at any moment.

"Gokou," She whispered, "Do you think you could QUIETLY call Kinto'un over here and get us both somewhere far away very fast?" Gokou looked at her absently.

"But you can't ride Kinto'un!" He whispered loudly, Bulma shushed him.

"Then you can carry me! We need to get away from here, and FAST!"

Just then, there was another rustling of bushes, and some voices.

"I think they went this way! Look! There's a footprint!"

Gokou quickly realized that they were about to be found, and complied with Bulma's previous order.

"Kinto'un!" he called, as quietly as possible, the noisy yellow cloud bubbled down from the sky and approached them.

"SHHH!" Gokou told it as voices came closer to their location. He quickly climbed astride the cloud and grabbed the Dragonballs with one hand, and Bulma's hand with the other.

"Hold on tight" he cautioned her, as Kinto'un sped away.

Several minutes later, a stupidly smiling Gokou and a very frizzled looking Bulma landed on Kamesennin's island. Kamesennin ran out of his house along with their friend Yamucha, who was staying with him, and Kuririn, Kamesennin's new potential pupil. Gokou jumped nimbly off the cloud, forgetting that he was still holding Bulma's hand, and accidentally slamming her into the ground.

"Owwww...." She mumbled as she spat out a glob of sand. Gokou sweatdropped and quickly helped Bulma to her feet.

"Is it okay if we eat before we summon the dragon?" He asked hopefully, she shrugged, she was too disoriented to care.

About a half hour and 50 heaping plates of food later, everyone stood in a circle as the Dragonballs were used for the first time in hundreds of years. They all looked up in awe as the electric glow flew into the sky and materialized into a very large dragon. Bulma almost lost her nerve, she heard helicopters approaching and decided to make it quick.

"Uhmmm..." she started.

"You have awakened me from my slumber! What is your wish?" The dragon growled sleepily.

"Oh great Shenlon..." she began again, just as Pilaf jumped out of the helicopter and raced towards her.

"I wish I had the perfect boyfriend!" she yelled, Shenlon's eyes glowed.

"Your wish cannot be granted, there is no such thing as a perfect anything."

"Uhhh... Okay.... Then I wish my soul mate was here right now!" She called back to the dragon. Pilaf yelled up his wish for power at almost the exact same time, seconds after Bulma started hers, it was close.

"Your wish has been granted! I will now return whence I came!" yelled Shenlon, as the Dragonballs turned to stone and separated.

"HAHAHAHA! I am now the master of the world!" Pilaf yelled menacingly, but quieted when something began to materialize into the air.

There was a collective gasp as they realized it was a person, they couldn't tell what they looked like, as it was still dark from the dragon's appearance and they weren't fully materialized yet. A blue beam of energy shot out from the figure's hand and hit Pilaf.

"Shut up you annoying creature! ...Now where in the bloody hell am I?" The figure asked in a raspy voice. The darkness began to clear and the view of the figure became clearer also.

The figure was short, muscular, and had tall spiky hair. They were wearing a dark blue training gi.

Bulma stared with wide eyes at the new arrival, was this strange boy here because of her wish? But that would mean that he was.... Nah.

"Answer me! Where the hell am I?" The boy yelled again.

"Uhmmm... Hi, you're at the home of the famed Kamesennin." Bulma called up to him, hoping that would satisfy his question. The boy glanced around uncertainly at his surroundings.

"This isn't one of Freezer's planets, is it?" The boy sounded confused, "Who are you people??"

"I'm Bulma", "M'name's Son Gokou!", "I'm Muten Roshi", "Kuririn.", "Yamucha.", they all called out.

"Who's Freezer? And who're you?" Gokou yelled up at him. The boy slowly floated down to the ground.

"I am Vegeta, Saiya-jin no ouji!" he shouted with pride.

"What's a 'Saiya-jin'?" Gokou asked stupidly.

"So many stupid questions..." Vegeta mumbled with annoyance. It was at that moment that Bulma noticed the furry appendage that was hanging loosely behind him.

"Son-kun! He has a tail like you!" she shouted in surprise. Vegeta shifted his gaze to the small boy standing below him, his never-fading smile was starting to annoy him... he looked closer, and there was, in fact, a tail waving behind him. He quickly lowered himself to the ground and looked Gokou over.

"You are a Saiya-jin?!" he shouted in disgust and surprise. "What did you say your name was again?"

"Son Gokou, pleased ta meecha." Vegeta scowled.

"That doesn't sound like a Saiya-jin name to me! What is your REAL name?" He demanded.

"Uhmmm... I'm Son Gokou, pleased to make you acquay... acquee, aqua...." He babbled,

"Acquaintance." Mumbled Vegeta with annoyance.

"Um, yeah! So where ya from?" Gokou asked, forgetting the previous questions. Vegeta sighed heavily,

"I'm from Vegeta-sei, It was destroyed by lord Freezer, and I don't have a 'home'... Now then... WHERE IN THE BLASTED BLOODY HELL AM I?!?!?" He screamed at Gokou, who flinched at the sound abusing his sensitive ears.

"I can answer that one," Bulma called over to him, "Chikyuu." Vegeta sighed,

"Arigatou... Now then, this pitiful child can't really be a Saiya-jin... tell me, does he or does he not change into a large monkey when he sees the full moon?" Bulma stared at him in disbelief, how could he know that?

"Uhhh... well, actually... he does." She stuttered.

"Well, lets just prove that..." Vegeta smirked,

"And my word isn't good enough for you?!?" Bulma shouted, Vegeta ignored her and formed a ki sphere in his hand, he launched it into the air.

"Look at it." He ordered Gokou, who not knowing any better, looked up at the sphere. Bulma looked at it, it looked an awful lot like moonlight... and that could only mean one thing... She quickly launched herself at Gokou and covered his eyes.

"NO!! DON'T LOOK!!!" She yelled, she barely made it in time, he stayed in a trance, but was not going to turn into a monkey, she yanked on his tail to snap him out of it. It worked, he was on the ground screaming in seconds.

Vegeta looked at the pitiful display before him, there was no doubt about it, that female had witnessed a transformation before, but how had she survived it? She was either really strong, really smart, or really stupid, he opted for the latter. Suddenly he remembered something...

He had been at one of his father's meetings with Lord Freezer, they were discussing the distribution of the Saiya-jin babies to conquer planets, somewhere in there was the mention of Bardock's son or daughter being sent to Chikyuu. He tried hard to remember what the child's name was, but this was several years ago...

"KAKAROTT!" He yelled suddenly, that had been the name of the child... everyone looked at him strangely,

"WHAT???" They all called in unison, confused.

Vegeta pointed at Gokou, "You're Kakarott..."

Bulma sighed heavily, THIS was her soulmate?

"Not another Monkey Boy..."
