Chapter 3:

The place was huge! Destiny couldn't believe it. C.C. was just fucking huge! She looked around to see every talking and laughing, just getting to know one another. Bulma's mom walking around with drinks in her hand, asking what every one wanted.

"Hello, do want some thing to drink dear. You must be thirsty.....how about a -"

"A beer would be fine." Destiny said cutting Mrs. Briefs off.

"Ok. Here you go sweetie. I do hope you and your friends are going to stay here in my home." She said looking around to see Jessie and Alex, and finding them with all the food. "You girls are welcome here." She said reassuring Destiny.

Destiny took a drink of the beer, and was suppressed how good it tasted in this world. "Hmm... Yeah, I guess we could stay here. But I do have to tell you some thing."

"Oh what's that dear. You can tell me any thing." Came Mrs. Briefs reply.

"Well, to be blunt. I hate your daughter." Destiny said strait out, not wanting to be nice to Bulma so she could stay.

Mrs. Briefs laughed, shocking Destiny jus a bit. "Oh, dear." She said taking a breath. "Is that all? Oh, Bulma is a bit spoiled, and has a bit of a hard time making friends. If she would just stop acting like she was always right, I'm sure people could get along with her but I don't think that will happen."

Destiny just stared at her, beer in hand. "You mean you don't have a problem if I cuss her out every once in a while?" She asked, adding 'Or every day' in her head.

"Oh, no. Bulma fights with every one. I don't blame you if you want to yell at her. As long as there is no blood shed." She said just as happy, having Destiny laugh in surprise. "Oh, and don't let her get to you. She likes to be number one. Well I better go find my husband, and get these drinks to the others. But if you ever need any thing, you just come and ask me dear. Bye." She said walking off happily to the others.

Destiny watched as she left while taking another drink of her beer. "Hmmm., wired woman,...... I like her."

"Like who?" Alex said coming to stand in front of her.

"Oh, Bulma's mother. She a bit to happy, but she's pretty cool, and to top it off I don't have to act all goody to Bulma."

"Kick ass. Look what she gave me, it a margarita. Mmmmm.... I like." Alex said taking a drink. "Jessie's a little mad though, they wouldn't give her anything other then a coke." She said laughing.

Destiny let out a small laugh. "I guess this will work out well. We just got to make sure, that we don't say any thing off the time line, and the truth. And when we do, we're together." She said looking at them all, seeing Jessie talking to the younger namicks.

"Yeah. Things are going to blow up when they find out." Alex remarked.

"hmm......" Destiny didn't know what they would do. She turned to look at Alex and realized she looked human again. "Alex, your hair, it's brown! And your eyes too. Your human again." She said shocked.

"Yeah, I kept think what I would look like if I was human. And. Poof! I'm human." Alex said still a bit confused.

Destiny smirked. "Wow. You must be able to change in to your human form when you want, since you half any way.... Hmmm....... Wait a sec........." Destiny said before, getting quiet. The next thing they new, her tail was gone.

Alex screamed. "Your tail! Oh my god you lost your tail! NO!"

"Alex calm down. I did the same thing. We must be able to change into a human, or our other half, when we want........Kick ass!!!!" Destiny yelled completely amazed.

"Wow! Hell yeah. Now I can go to town with out worrying if people are going to stare." She laughed. "Hey with all this different blood..... well, are we still related? Because now we are completely different races then each other."

Destiny thought for a moment. "Well, to think of it. We are only having just a bit of the same blood. In other words, if you had kids, they wouldn't be related to me..... I think. So I guess, no...." She stopped to think of the subject some more.

"Hmmm.... Not related. Well at lest we're still friends!" She said still happy. "And me have kids! Hell no!" She said shacking her head, having Destiny laugh.

"Hey! This is so cool; oh I can't wait to meet Trunks when he comes! Oh, I wonder what we can talk about!" Jessie said running up and jumping up and down. "Hey! Come one Bulma's mom is going to show ever one were we can sleep, come on." She said running off.

Alex laughed and looked over at Destiny. "I think we're going to have to watch her, she's way to hyper."

"Her hyper? You mean I should watch out for the both of you. You're the bad one." Destiny said walking off.

Alex stood there for a moment as if she was thinking, before turning to run after her. "Bad one! I'm not the bad one...... well not all bad!"

*****************

Destiny sat on her desk, Alex laying on her bed, and Jessie on the floor. "Man I still can't believe how big the room is, I mean. One big bathroom, to big closets two dressers, a desk, a vanity, a TV, and a couch! A couch! What room has a couch!?" Destiny said still looking around the large room. "Plus I got a balcony."

"Yeah, my room is the same." Jessie said from the floor. "I even got a computer, with a whole shit load of games! And movies! Ahhh,..... I never want to leave." Jessie said drinking her coke.

Alex looked at her then Destiny with a frown. "She got a computer..... I want one. Oh hey, hey! I'll trade my couch for your comp! Huh? Huh? Come on!"

"No! I want it! I'll throw in a dresser!" Destiny yelled in, playfully. "Oh forget it, I'm going to go down stares, just look around, ya know. Later." She said walking our having the two turn to the TV.

"Ahhhh! Jessie look! Buffy!" Alex yelled as she saw what was on the TV. "Wow, they look funny anime...."

**********************

Destiny made her way down stares and in to the kitchen to find Chichi sitting down. "Oh, hey Chichi, you still here?"

Chichi looked up and smiled. "Yeah, Gohan wanted to stay awhile and play with Dende, so I thought I would stick around.

Destiny smiled before taking a seat next to her, a new beer in hand. "You miss him, huh?"

Chichi looked up shocked. "How.... Is it that obvious?" She asked.

Destiny took a drink and laughed a bit. "No, you cover it up pretty well. But I can tell. Goku will come back....... And he does love you." She said having Chichi sigh.

"I know, I just feel like he's falling out of love with me. I hope he's all right." She said holding her bottled water in her hands.

"He's fine. Hey if you ever get lonely, or if you just want to hang out. Just give me a call ok."

"Really, that's really nice of you. I don't get to talk to many people, and I can't stand Bulma all to much." Chichi said smiling.

"Huh, I know what you mean." Destiny said smiling.

Just then Bulma's mother walked in. "Oh hi girls. What are you two talking about? Mind if I join."

"Not at all." Chichi replied.

"Great, here I'll get us a small snack." She said getting out a plate of sandwiches. "So what are you talking abou-"

"Alex!" Destiny said cutting Mrs. Briefs off, and looking at Alex and Jessie who came crawling threw the door of the kitchen. "What the hell!"

"Foooooodddd...must have foood." Alex said as if she was about to pass out, reaching her hands out to the women.

Chichi looked down at them a little shocked. "But didn't you two just eat a few minutes ago?"

Destiny frowned, "Yes they did. You two can't be that hungry." She said looking down at the two, who still looked like they were going to die.

Alex jumped up and smiled, "Hell no I'm not hungry. I just want a wine cooler." She said making her way to the frig, and then walking out and back up to the room.

Destiny laughed a bit, before looking at Jessie who was still on the floor and making her way to the table. "You can't have a wine cooler." She said simply.

Jessie narrowed her eyes and stood up strait. "I don't want one. Can I have your plate of sandwiches?" she said eyeing the big plate that held ten sandwiches.

Destiny looked out of the corner of her eye to the other women and then back at Jessie. "Sure......." She replied, having Jessie grab the plate and head back up stares with a big smile.

Mrs. Briefs looked at Destiny, and Chichi. "Oh my. Well doesn't she eat like Goku... Hehehehe." She said having the two laugh.

Chichi frowned and looked at Destiny. "So tell the truth. What was it like to have those to monsters over there? I mean to have to put up with them. Arrhh, I don't think I could take it." She said not even liking the thought of them.

"Oh chichi. They're not that bad." Destiny said defending them. "I mean-"

"Ahhh! I can't believe him!" Bulma said stomping into the room and taking a seat at the table with them. Unfortunately it was near Destiny.

Destiny rolled her eyes and frowned. "What? Some one didn't pay you the 25 cents for the blow job you gave." She said with a smirk.

Bulma looked at her and narrowed her eyebrows. "Bite me, Destiny!" She said then looked at the others. " First the all might prince demands a place to work out. So I show him the gravity machine dad was working on. Then he says it's not strong enough. Not strong enough!? I helped build that! So he told me that I needed to improve it! Of course dad said that's no problem, but you want to bet me I'm going to end up doing all the work. Not strong enough! Ha! You know what I think........" Bulma continued to wine and yell as the women just stared at her.

Destiny looked over at Mrs. Briefs, who just seemed to be acting as if she was paying attention and then Chichi who was just staring at her. Destiny didn't now if she could take it. That annoying voice.......

"Oh goddess! Just shut up! Vegeta wants this, Vegeta said that! I have to do this, I have to do that! Would ya just stop winning for ten minutes! Damn, ya think you would enjoy showing off that brain of yours." Destiny yelled before getting up and poring her beer in to the sink, right now was not the time for a beer. It was more of a time for a bottle of Hot Damn.

"No one asked you what you thought, Destiny!" Bulma yelled back. "In fact, if it was up to me, I wouldn't let you live here."

Destiny smirked. "Well, it's not up to you, so get over it." She shot back.

"Woman, don't you ever walk away from me when I'm talking to you!" Vegeta yelled, as he came walking in. "Or next time I'll blast you!"

"Please do." Destiny said, cutting of Bulma before she could say anything.

"Shut up Destiny!" Bulma yelled. "And you Vegeta. Can go to hell." She said walking out of the room, having Vegeta fallow her, yelling.

Destiny watched the two leave and felt a bet of jealousy overwhelmed her. :: Stupid bitch. Goddess I hope he doesn't fall for her.......how could he!:: She yelled to herself.

Mrs. Briefs watched as the two left screaming at each other, and turned back to Destiny who was staring at the door they left threw. She smiled with glee, clapping her hands together. "Looks like someone has a crush!" She teased.

Chichi looked over at Destiny and smirked. "Oh I saw that too."

Destiny crossed her arms and turned her head, a blush wanting to creep into her face. "What! No way. I don't like him! How could I? I was just hoping he would kill Bulma that's all. He's disgusting, I despise him, and how could I like something, like..... like that!" She said turning around to see them smirking at her. "Oh, shut up." She said in a tinny voice.

Alex and Jessie came running in. Alex with a big smile. "Ah hah! Yes you do! It's written all over your face." She said in a cocky attitude.

Jessie stood them with mayo dripping from the side of her mouth, one half eaten sandwich in one hand, and two more in the other, with a smile nodding her head fast.

Destiny looked at them shocked. "What?! How did you hear our conversation!?" She yelled.

Alex looked at her with a blank face. "We were just in the other room with our ear pressed against the wall. You know, you hear all kinds of things when ya do that."

Just then Vegeta walked in, stopping to see every one stare at him, except for Chichi who turned to see Destiny's reactions. "What the hell are you staring at?!" He said, Alex staring wholes into him.

Mrs. Briefs jumped up with glee before running over and grabbing Vegeta's arm. She pulled him over the table and sat him down next to Destiny. "Are you hungry Vegeta. Want something to eat. How do you like it here." She asked cheerfully.

He just sat there as every one stared at him before they turned to stare at Destiny.

Destiny held her head down, not wanting to look up. Finally she couldn't take it, there were to many eyes on her. She jumped up; angry. "Oh fuck off!" She yelled before running out of the kitchen and to her room.

Alex smiled and walked over behind Vegeta. She leaned over him, noticing she was ticking him off, which made her smile grew more. "Mmmmhmmmmm. I see it." She yelled as she ran out of the room and after Destiny.

Jessie had a hug smile on her face as she looked at Vegeta. "I see it too." After a minute her smile disappeared, as she looked down confused. She then looked up at the ceiling. "Huh?...... See what........" She turned and headed up the stares. " Alex! See what!? What did ya see!? I wanna know what did ya see. Alex come back!"

Chichi stared at the door she ran threw. "Oh, She's like a little Goku!" She said with a smile.

*************

Destiny shut the door behind her and went and lay on her bed. She couldn't believe they did that to her. Ok, so she likes him. So! Who wouldn't!??

"Hey, girl? You ok?" Alex said sitting down beside her, using her innocent voice.

Destiny figured she just came in. Alex never did like knocking. She let out a deep sigh and hid her face in the bed. "NO! I can't believe you guys!"

Alex smiled. "Hey you like him. Admit it! Why be ashamed?" she asked leaning on her.

Destiny stayed quiet for a minute before jumping up, sending Alex to the floor. "Of course I like him! Who wouldn't? I mean have you seen him!!??" She said looking down at Alex.

Alex stood up and rubbed her butt. "ooohhhh. That hut." She said before looking at her. " Yeah I've seen him. But personally, I like my men green." She replied with a glint of mischief.

Destiny smirked. "You say I shouldn't be a shamed. I haven't seen you make any move on Piccolo." She said having Alex start to mess with her hands in nervousness.

"Hey! I.... I...I'm working my way up. The next level is.... Is.... Oh fuck you!" Alex said stomping out of the room, leaving a smiling Destiny.

******************

Alex made her way down stares and to the back yard. "Tell me I'm not making any move. I'll show her...just wait, just wait and see." She spoke to herself. "Hmmmmm, now where is he." She said scanning the grounds, and spotting him under a tree. "Well that figures, a nice original place for him."

Alex suddenly didn't feel as confident as she did a minute ago..."Ok. I can do this." She told her self, walking up to him. "So Piccolo."

Piccolo didn't even open his eye's, just continued to meditate. "What?"

"Well,.... A.... um.. hehe... a. Have you seen Gohan?" She said the first thing that popped in her head.

Just then Gohan and Dende went running past her, having Piccolo look at her wired.

Alex giggled nervously. "Um... hehehe. A. What ya doing?" She asked.

Piccolo sweat dropped, before closing his eyes again. "I'm meditating." He said simply.

This was it. Alex could finally get him to talk. "Really, well is it hard? What do you have to do?" She asked.

"You mostly have to be quiet." He said, hopping she would catch the hint.

Oh, Alex got the hint. But that wasn't going to stop her. She was going to show Destiny she could do it. She wasn't sure what she was trying to show Destiny she could do, but she was going to do it, damnit. "So.....wanna train."

::What! Train! Alex your going to get your ass kick!:: She yelled at herself.

"Humh! You train. You don't even know how to stand right." He said bluntly.

"What! Well..... ok. So I can't fight. Well Mr. I know every thing. Why don't you teach me?" She said with a smirk.

::Alex!!!!! You idiot, he doesn't go easy on his pupils. Damn! Look how he trained Gohan!:: Her inner voice yelled at her, but she never listened to it, so why start now.

"Train you? You couldn't hack it." Piccolo said standing up to look down at her. He noticed she had just turned into her namick formed, making her a bit taller then she was before. He figured he must have struck a nerve.

"Can't hack it! I'll show you what I can hack! I'll show you I can hack more then you can!" She yelled up in to his face. ::Hack? How can you hack something? What do you hack and with what?:: She thought.

"Fine."

"What!" She squealed. "What, what were we talking about, oh hacking yeah. Well, let's get to it?" She said walking away and to the cleaning in the back yard.

Piccolo stood there a little shocked, but shrugged it off and fallowed. ::If she thinks she can take it, fine by me. But it's her fault if she gets hurt.:: He told him self. :: It wont be your fault, she's asking for it.:: He continued to say as he approached her. For some odd reason he did want to hurt her..... Wired.

Alex looked at him for a moment. :: Ok. Come on Piccolo.:: She yelled in her head. "Well?....... You going to teach me or what?" She said, hands on hips.

Piccolo's ear twitched a bit, as he frowned. "Fine. Take you fighting stance." He ordered.

Alex did so preparing to fight. "Ok now what."

"That's you fighting stance? You're not even standing right." He said in an amused voice.

Alex narrowed her eyes. "Well then, how do I stand?" She said getting angry. ::Maybe this was a bad idea. If he's going to insult me all day, he might as well kill him self. Because I will. :: She said, hating the fact of being put down.

"Fine." He said walking up behind her and helping her in to a solid fighting stance. He took her arms in his hands and positioned them right.... Unfortunately, this was getting him a bit uncomfortable for some reason. :: Her skin is so soft..... mmmm.. What?! What the hell are you thinking!:: he thought. "Grrrr......"

Alex stiffened a bit, thinking she ticked him off. "What? What's wrong now?" She asked a bit tougher then she felt.

Piccolo stopped growling and shook his head. "Nothing. There, this is how you stand. You won't be easily pushed down and will be able to move easier." He said walking back in front of her.

He took his stance and looked at her. "Now hit me." He ordered.

Alex looked at him shocked. "What...." ::Oh, god. I'm going to hit him and then he's going to hit me. Hit me! Oh god, oh god, I'm ganna die!::

"You heard me, lets see how your hits are." He said looked like he was getting more annoyed.

"Ok.. if you say so." She said, before hitting him. She didn't even make contact, he blocked it easily.

This continued till sunset, until Alex dragged her self inside to the kitchen.

Destiny looked up from the book she was reading. "Hey, I saw you two out there sparing. So how did it go?" She asked pretty interested.

Alex looked at her, standing up strait, before falling flat to the ground.

Destiny looked down to see her lying there. "Tired?" She asked.

Alex nodded her head against the floor. "Ouwwww..... Pain.... Need...bed." She said in a low voice. "And I have to meet him tomorrow!" she wined, a bit scared.

Destiny laughed and went to help her up. "There, there. I got ya. Lets get you to bed."

She helped her up to her room and got her into bed. Pulling the blankets up over her, she looked down. "So does he know how bad he kick your butt?" She asked a smirk on her face.

Alex opened one eye. "No.... and ... I don't... plan to ....tell him... night, night." She said falling a sleep.

Destiny laughed as she walked out of the room and made her way to hers. When she got to her room she changed and sat down out on her balcony, taking her book and pen with her. She figured she would start a journal. Just for a keepsake. She looked out and down to the gravity room Vegeta was in.

It was only the first day here, and yet she couldn't stop thinking about him. Sure she never could but now, it only increased. If it was possible. She looked down at her book and opened it. Beginning to write.

Dear.....Dreamer,

To day was an ok day. I'm sitting here, and loneliness has seemed to feel my heart, again. Nothing different really, the same loneliness I have always felt. But now.... Now I'm here. I've seen him, the man who I've grown to love. I guess it's a bit strange to love some one you don't even know, but it's true. I think he hates me, I'm not sure. I'm afraid..... yeah.. it's strange. I'm afraid. Afraid of loosing him. I've worked so hard to just be in the same place as him, but to loose him to Bulma.... It would kill me. I've seen the way she treats him, in our world. Goddess, if a person feels like this towards some one are they not meant to be with them...... great now I'm getting mushy. I want to feel his skin against mine, his lips upon mine. I don't want to be that piece of dirt that is only good to walk on, I want to be that great power that he seeks for, that power and energy that flows threw every inch of him, that can feel him with pure love and wanting. I'll only liveing here if I have a chance with him; if there is no chance then I have no place on the earth. My heart is empty and my soul is dark, and I cannot bring my self to cut the flesh upon my body, but if my heart is broken. I will make sure, that the soul I have, will be no more......................

One who runs from the shadows of misery,

Destiny-

She closed her book and rested her head against the railing. She wasn't tired, but she felt weak. She hated to feel depressed, she wanted to cry, but she hated to cry. It wasn't right for her, she hated to feel weak and that's all it every made her feel. Weak.

********************

Bulma sat at her computer; she decided she was going to work late tonight. Too many things had to be done, and she figured the sooner she started the sooner she would finish.

As her fast fingers mad contact with the key bored a loud beeping went off. "Oh what now." She complained. She walked over the main screen to see that Vegeta had pushed the contacting button in the gravity chamber.

::Great he already broke the damn gravity room!:: She yelled in her head. She put that button in the Gravity room to notify her when something was broken, but now she was regretting it, she would never get any rest.

So here she was making her way up stares and out the back door. As she walked to the gravity chamber the wind blew her hair in to her face, having her stop to fix it back up. "Man, maybe I should just cut it. It wouldn't get in my face anymore." She told herself.

*********************

Up on the balcony Destiny sat there looking at the gravity room. Sure she felt a little wired, like a stalker or something, but she just wanted to see him before she fell asleep. She was in love.... What more could you say.

She stood there, the wind blowing her hair, having it play against her smooth skin. A sudden movement on the ground caught her eye, having her lean over the balcony to see.

There stood Bulma walking to the gravity room. In short shorts and a tang top!!!! Destiny narrowed her eyes. "What. I can't believe her. What's she going to do? Oh Goddess no." She said quietly. :: I can't loose him to her! Please no!::

She watched as she then stopped and started, to what looked like to her, was fix her hair. :: Yeah, you might as well fix your hair. What are you going to do, jump him? God, it's not like he would turn you down. He's been in outer space, how long!? It's like being in jail!:: she yelled in her head

Bulma then made her way to the front door of the Chamber and walked in. The Gravity room, already turned off.

Destiny couldn't take it; she had to find out what was going on. She put a hand on the railing and jumped over and off the balcony, landing on her feet. :: Saiyan blood really comes in handy:: she thought.

**********************

Bulma walked into the gravity room and came face to face with an angry Vegeta. "What did ya do now? God! You've only been here one day, and your already breaking things." She said walking over to the main controls.

Vegeta crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. "Well if you would have built it right, it would last longer. Now fix it!"

"Don't yell at me mister! Now hold on." She said typing things in to the control panel.

Vegeta walked over and leaned over her back to see what she was doing. "You better not be fucking this up woman!" he warned.

"Oh, please. I know what I'm doing." She replied.

***********************

Destiny walked over to the chamber making sure she wasn't seen bye any one and made her way to a window. "Oh great I'm a obsessive jealous stalker now." She whispered.

She took one look inside and her eyes grow wide. Bulma was at the control panel and Vegeta was over her! A picture that would make any one think the wrong thing. And she did. She turned her head and ran back into the house and up to her room.

Shutting her door, she ran and closed her balcony doors. "Oh Goddess. No, no, no." She said water filling her eyes. "NO! You will not cry. No man is worth your tears, and the one who is will never make you cry.... Goddess, why." She took in a deep breath and weald the tears away. She walked over to her vanity and sat down, looking at her self.

Was she really nothing compared to Bulma? She looked down at the scissors that lay there, and then at her arm. Part of her self wanted to cut again.... But then she looked at her self. She had this new body, no burns, no cuts,.. nothing. She hadn't cut herself for a few years now, because she had did a self-rite to her Goddess. But now, she wanted to feel something, something other then nothing.

No. She wouldn't do it. She stood up and walked over to her balcony doors, swinging them open, and walking out them. She looked down and narrowed her eyebrows. "I'll show you what you missing. I'll show you I don't need you. Why should I sit here and cry over something I could never have......... No. I'm going to train hard and master the art of magick. And you watch." She spoke quietly. "I'll be every thing you said I couldn't be. I'll be a true saiyan, and strong smart woman. And I'll show every one, I don't need any one. I have Alex and Jessie and they are the only people I should care about. Fuck you and Fuck Bulma."

She stood there for a moment, staring at nothing. She felt the same emptiness she felt before she came here. :: It's funny how easily one can hurt you with out trying.:: She thought. She then turned and walked back inside, where she took off her nightgown and sat nude on the floor. Going into a deep meditation.

She would show them, she was going to train, work on her magick and be happy with out them............ she hoped. Goddess she hoped.
