Vegeta awakens from his death at Frieza's hand, resurrected by the dragon balls. With nowhere to go, he awaits Goku's return at Capsule Corp. Although only alive by accident, someone comes to value him. Three year get-together. Vegeta's perspective. True to canon. Rather dark. This story contains mature language and content.

An alternate ending to Allegiant and the Divergent Trilogy. I wrote this to make myself feel better. Maybe it will make you feel better, too. ** Contains Allegiant spoilers****. Updated 10-31-13 after a reviewer pointed out an inconsistency in the story (thank you, you know you are, Guest!) . Thank you all so much for the feedback!

:Vegeta/Bulma: With the threat of the androids looming over the horizon, Vegeta strives to do whatever he can to become stronger. He finds himself relying on the help of a fearless heiress with a streak of pride and sharp wit to rival his own... and somehow he begins to harbor something more than a grudging respect for her...

He was a Saiyan prince, determined to be the strongest being in the universe. She was the daughter of a great inventor, and a genius in her own right. With his pride, her determination and their own fair share of stubbornness, how did they fall in love?

Bulma begins to realize that there's more to her Saiyan houseguest than meets the eye. B/V, a short series that spans 'those three years'. Written for challenges on the Blue & Black livejournal community. COMPLETE
