Journey to the past

"BULMA GET DOWN HERE!!!!" DR. Briefs , Bulma's dad called from his lab.

Soon he heard loud thumping coming down the stairs into the lab.

"What…what ..what is it dad what happened!!!!" Bulma said out of breath from running.

"I cant believe it I just made a new invention one that could change life's!!!!!

"What invention dad you never said anything about a new invention before???"

"I never told you cause I wanted it to be a surprise. Its almost exactly like a time machine!!! But here's the best part. You can go anywhere anytime in the universe and when you come back from that time nothing should change. All the people you would meet would forget you as soon as you left there time. It's almost like a virtual reality thing but its real. If you die in the place your at you just automatically come back to here, but the bad thing is that you would be able to feel al the pain from dieing….."

Bulma looked at him like he was a nut. "………um how do you know all that works??? Have you tested it?"

"Well……no….but if my calculations are correct even if it fails no harm could come out of it. So why don't you give it a go!!!"

Bulma looked at him strangely. "uuummmm….are you sure its safe?" She picked up the small device and looked at it from all angles.

"100% sure!!!" Dr. Briefs said with a smile.

"Ok I guess ill try it…..but how do I get back out of the time and back here?"

"Well the device hooks onto your ear. When you go into the time frame you want there should be a little mechanical looking button on the back of your neck."

"Ok where should I go do first?"

"How bout you go back in your past and see you again when you were little!! No big harm should come out of that."

"Ok show me how you would set the coordinates for the places I want to be able to go" Bulma said starting to wander why she was doing this. *this couldn't be able to work but rarely has one of my dads inventions not worked. I guess ill humor him. And plus if it does work how he said it should this will be awesome.!!!*

"Ok here's the different buttons……." Dr. briefs went on describing how to work it for Bulma for a few minutes.

"Ok so how old should the younger Bulma be when I go into the past? Oh and you cant go into the future?" Bulma asked laying back onto the table.

"how about 10? And no you cant go into the future. That would ruin life wouldn't you say?" Dr. briefs said with a laugh.

"uuhhh….sure. But what about eating and stuff like that?"

"Well you can do whatever you want in that time you could stay there for years if you wanted to. But in our time you'll only be gone for a few seconds. So I doubt you'll starve or anything."

"Ok dad!" she said putting the contraption on her ear and laying back, closing her eyes. She brought her hand up to her ear and was about to press the button. "Wish me luck dad!" and with a press of the button she was gone.

"Oh my hope this works perfectly!!! Shell have a lot of fun I know it!!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bulma woke up laying on the ground in some woods.

"Omg this looks ssooo familiar!!!" Bulma said getting up from her spot. She looked all over her body looking for any defects. *thank god all my body parts came with me. I hope!!! * "well all I can say is you did it dad!!" Bulma said starting to walk around.

She looked around to try to recognize exactly where she was. She heard a sound of water running when she started to get near some high leaf covered bushes.

*I got it I know where this is!!! I used to come out here every other day!!*

Bulma opened the bushes and looked through them. She saw a little girl sitting on a rock in front of a beautiful waterfall. The girl had Beautiful blue hair just like herself. She was sitting next to a large rock writing in a journal.

Bulma started to walk up to the girl that she knew as her younger self. She could here little Bulma humming to a tune. Bulma started to come closer as not to disturb her. She long since forgotten that tune and Couldn't remember where she heard it from. Soon Bulma was almost right behind the little Bulma. Bulma started to hum with little Bulma to the tune.

The little girl looked up from what she was doing.

"Mama?" She said then turned around. "Oh my, I'm sorry I thought you were my mom. Is there anything I can do you for?" She said smiling happily.

"Oh no I'm sorry I just….I like that song a lot…..I know it from somewhere?" Bulma said not wanting to tell her where she was from.

"Really my mom sings it to me all the time to help me sleep….I thought she made it up? That's strange that you know it." Little Bulma said. "Oh and I'm sorry I don't think we were properly introduced. My Name is Bulma and yours?"

Bulma smiled down at her politeness. She couldn't believe how much she changed.

"My name?…. It's um Its also Bulma….." She said thinking *hey having the same name wont harm anything.*

"Oh wow, we have the same name and eye and hair color. Plus we both know that song !!!! That really weird…Yay now we can be really pretty together!!!" Little Bulma said "hey do you want to go for a swim the waters always warm for some reason." She asked jumping into the water.

Again Bulma smiled. She remembered the times she would come down here to get away from the world to write in her journal. Also her mothers song she hadn't heard it in so long It brought tears to her eye's.

Bulma walked up to the water and only took off her shoes and socks and dipped her feet into the water.

"Hey how did you know how to get here I thought I was the only one who knew about this place?"

Little Bulma asked.

"Well I was just taking a walk and kinda just found my way here…" Bulma lied.

"Oh well you come back here anytime you want. I come back here all the time. All the electronics and machinery I work with at my age gets to me. Its to much pressure….." Little Bulma said in a sad manner.

Bulma looked at her amazed. She used to always feel that way, but she never was open enough about that topic to admit it. When she was 14 her parents thought she was a perfect genius. Little did they know that even thought Bulma thought she was very smart to all the stress it was on her. Including the fact that she didn't get out much. In fact she got tutored at home cause the first time she went to school everyone made fun of how smart she was and called her a nerd.

"I know how you feel…" Bulma said taking off her over shirt and throwing it next to her then throwing her body into the warm water. "But it'll get better I promise!!!"

"You know what this sound very weird but even thought I barely know you I feel like I've known you forever. Like I can share anything with you. Are you a genius to?" Little Bulma asked splashing around in the water.

"Well I guess you could say that." Bulma said with a smile. Then splashed a little water at her.

For about ten minutes they swam and talked but the sun started to fall and the sky turned to a pinkish red.

"Bulma I have to go home. Will you meet me here tomorrow? Please you're my best friend right now!!!! Please we have ssooo much in common!!! "Little Bulma asked sitting on a big rock looking at the sky.

Bulma had thought this was a horrible position. If she left then the younger Bulma would forget she was ever there. Then she thought about staying, but thought against it thinking it would only make it harder for her to leave.

"I'm sorry, I'm moving tomorrow I wouldn't be able to see you again. My job wont allow me to make anymore sacrifices like today…." Bulma lied again sadly.

"Oh….. I guess I was meant to be lonely after all…." Little Bulma said a tear falling from her eye.

Bulma sat there in shock she used to say that all the time in fact she said that the night her and Vegeta had there first kiss. Little did she know of all the adventure's she would have with Goku and all the fun times shed have with Yamcha. Also meeting Vegeta on Namek and finding out later you fell in love with him. Then she thought, *some day she'll be here doing this exact same thing with the 10 year old me again. In fact she probably had one of the most adventures in a year then most people had in there life!!!

"Don't say that! That's not true. I swear on the name of heaven that you will have the most exciting life in the world just watch." Bulma said walking over to her. "Well I got to go now. And trust me as your best friend you will love your life!!! Just give it time. I guess ill be going now." Bulma reached for the button on the back off her neck and was about to press it when Little Bulma ran over to her and hugged her tightly.

"PLEASE NOO !!! I don't want you to go!!" Little Bulma said letting all tears flow.

Bulma bent down to her and told her not to worry. Then Bulma gave her a small kiss in her cheek.

Again Bulma put her hand to the back of her neck and while holding Little Bulma tightly pressed the button just as a tear fell out of her eye. So when she disappeared that was all that was left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a flash Bulma was awake and looking into her fathers eyes. A suddan jolt of pain shot through her head. She grabbed the back of her head painfully and shut her eye's. Her dad ran into the other room and got her a few invented pills for her.

"I'm sorry Bulma I forgot to tell you the Side effect of using this, But these pills take the pain away instantly. You're lucky I looked at all angles of this project." Her dad said slipping the pills into her mouth.

Almost as soon as she swallowed it the pain stopped.

"Thanks dad!! Your project was a success!! Everything happened perfectly!!" She called out to him hugging him tightly.

Then she thought about what had happened in the past. Another tear slipped out of her eye. Her dad looked at her questioningly.

"What happened dear?"

"Nothing dad it was just…….lets just say I remember a lot of old things and when I left her I felt horrible."

"Her?"

"Bulma, the 10 year old me!"

"How long did you stay there?"

"Only like a half an hour….." Bulma was about to continue the explanation about what happened there, not actually wanting to, When Vegeta called to her.

"WOMAN!!!!" Vegeta called from the stairs leading down to the lab. "WHERES MY DINNER!!!!

"I'm coming!!!" Bulma yelled moving off the table. " Here dad. Ill just say it was invigorating. I'm going to try it again sometime." Bulma said running up the stair.

"But wait Bulma, if you use it to much right now it will malfunction. It's only a test project." He called up after her.

Bulma just said sure not thinking about just the task ahead of her.

Bulma walked into the kitchen to see Vegeta waiting there with little or no patience left.

"So what do you want today?" she called out happily.

"anything edible." Vegeta said trying not to yell at her for being late. "You know on my planet if you where late you were killed!"

"Well were not on your planet are we!!! Plus how would you know I thought it was destroyed when you were young?"

"It was, but I was old enough to know things. I was seven when I was taken by freeza. Stupid onna!."

Bulma just looked at him weird and started dinner.

*hummm…. I wander what Vegeta's life was like back then?* Just as she said that an evil smirk crossed her face.

"What are you thinking about that's making your face so demented?" Vegeta asked with a smirk.

"None of your business!!!!" Bulma yelled at him.

* I wander what will happen if..* Bulma thought but was interrupted by Vegeta.

"Stop making your face ugly I'm about to eat!!!! Vegeta yelled at her.

"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Later that night ~ (at about midnight)

A figure slipped through the darkness. It stopped at the door to the kitchen seeing Vegeta in the Refrigerator digging though food. Quickly it ran past the door and down the stairs into the lab.

Vegeta looked up from what he was doing. He had felt a ki head past him but one not noticeable. *probably a rat* Vegeta said and started digging through the refrigerator again.

The figure turned on the light to the lab and started toward the time machine. As soon as it was about to pick it up the figure stepped onto a piece of metal laying on the ground.

"OW shit……" Bulma said holding her foot (who else?). Bulma started to hear foot steps in the kitchen coming to the stairs.

She grabbed the device and put it on her ear. * man I got to hurry up if I going to get out of here before Vegeta gets down here. If I were to do this when someone knew they'd never let me. Going to Vegeta's past doesn't always sound like a walk in the garden!!* Bulma though putting the coordinates in as quickly as possible.

She heard the foot steps coming down the stairs. *Damn damn damn, Hurry up, Hurry up!!!* "Yes!!! Got it" Bulma accidentally said allowed. She Cover her mouth quickly and pressed the button. In a instant she was gone.

Vegeta had just looked around the corner to see….nothing. "Damn, maybe it is true what they say about eating before you sleep a night. Now I'm hearing things!!!" Vegeta looked around the room once more. Then started back up the stairs to bed.
