AN: First off! I would like to apologize for the late update! I meant to update on Friday the 18th; I have multiple reasons for my lateness! A big sale at work flooded us with customers, and I have been too exhausted coming home over the weekend to even think about updating. Pretty sure I fell asleep in my uniform at one point. The next reason: I got a new car! I had a couple of issues with my insurance company, but those issues were resolved quickly. Next reason: The car I had purchased had a mechanical failure that was the fault of the dealership, so they came and got it from me and fixed it at their loss since the issue should have been caught at any point while it was in their care.

As of now, everything is hunky dory. on to the story!!

~Vegeta's POV~

After Kakarot teleported us to Earth, I was met with the sight of Tundra having her tail running through Cold's corpse. A Saiyan from the future pulled Kakarot and me aside and told us that a series of androids were set to attack one of the major cities on this planet in a few years and destroy everything. The Saiyan said nothing of his identity, but he did say that it was possible that the event with the androids may not come to pass, as in his past, I had not gone to Yardrat with Kakarot, and Tundra did not exist. The Saiyan had promised to return in three years to aid us with the coming threat. Kakarot and I reunited with the group. My tail swished around lightly before I wrapped it around my waist. Tundra flicked her tail aggressively to get as much of Cold's blood off of it as she could, though I thought it added to her beauty. Her cheeks tinted purple with the blood of her race as I approached her and pulled her close by her waist.

"I have missed you while I was away, Tundra," I growled under my breath as I smirked at her, as she smirked back at me.

"I missed you too, Vegeta. I have to say that you look good with gold hair," Tundra purred as she teased the edges of the Yardratian armor I wore with the tip of her tail.

"Gross. Can we get back to the matter instead of watching you two flirt?" the green man demanded.

"What's going on? I thought it was cute," the blue-haired woman said with a pout.

"The other Saiyan brought us a message. In three years, on May 28th, at 10 in the morning, a pair of androids will attack South City. These androids are going to be strong enough to kill everyone here. However, in the other Saiyan's timeline, Tundra did not exist, nor did I travel to Yardrat, so we may have an advantage or could be screwed," I explained.

"I'd go find and destroy them now," Krillin said. "End the threat before it begins."

"Except for the fact that it may not work. We have no idea where the androids are being built. And trying to stop the attack before it is supposed to happen may lead to something worse," Tundra said. "You don't mess with timeline things. It causes a bigger mess than the one we are already in simply because that Saiyan came back here to warn us of the trouble."

"Our best bet is to train and get as strong as possible. We'll meet on the cliffs overlooking South City three hours before the attack begins," Kakarot said firmly.

"I'm not dyin' again. I've done much training over the last year in the new gravity chamber with Tundra," the scar-faced human with a mullet said flatly, causing me to snarl and clutch Tundra closer.

"Relax, Vegeta. He's with Bulma, and I broke his arm too many times when he tried to get a feel," Tundra said confidently.

"Well... Let's get you two settled in and in some clothes suited for a party," Bulma said excitedly.

"Wait. How did you two suddenly appear on Earth? We didn't sense you coming," the triclops said, thoroughly confused.

"That was easy. We learned Instant Transmission and a few other things from the planet we were training on," Kakarot said happily before he placed his fingers on his forehead and popped out of existence.

A moment later, Kakarot appeared with dark eye coverings on his face, shocking everyone there.

"Those are Master Roshi's sunglasses," Krillin said in stunned shock. "He lives over 7000 miles away from here."

"We tried this morning, but we had to wait to lock onto someone's ki, then we locked onto Tundra's ki and that other Saiyan's ki when they powered up to fight," Kakarot said as he handed the eye coverings to Krillin.

"Let's all head out to prepare for the 'welcome home' party, guys!" Bulma said before the scar-faced human picked her up and took flight. "It'll be at my place at seven tonight!"

"C'mon, Vegeta. Bulma has a room set up for you," Tundra said as she pulled away from me with a wink.

The group went their separate ways to prepare for this party of Bulma's. Tundra led me into a large city, but to a part of it with a series of domed buildings on the grounds. Tundra landed in front of the largest with the scar-faced human, whose name I had learned was Yamcha during the flight. Bulma climbed out of his arms and led us inside like she owned the place. She walked up to the front desk and spoke to the woman sitting there. Tundra followed her with the grace of the princess that she was.

"What can I do for you, Ms. Briefs, and Ms. Cold?" the woman asked.

"Suri, I need you to set up a party on the residential balcony as soon as possible. I've got quite a few guests arriving by 7 o'clock, so everything needs to be set up before then. And we need to quadruple the amount of food as Goku is going to be there, and another person that likely has a similar appetite," Bulma said calmly as the woman made her notes.

"Of course, Ms. Briefs. Is there anything else?" the young woman asked.

"Plenty of booze. And several gallons of fresh spring water set aside for Piccolo," Bulma requested.

"I'll have everything set up. And I'll call in the stylists and send them up to the residential floors to assist you and the family in getting ready," the woman said.

"Thank you, Suri. You're a huge help," Tundra said with a pleasing smile.

Yamcha looked at me and shrugged. I merely rolled my eyes and curled my lip at him before following the two women into an elevator. Tundra swiped an access card to allow the elevator to reach the residential floors of this building. From the elevator, Tundra led me to the bedroom suite that had been set up and maintained for me, explaining that she had been shopping for clothes while I had been off-world training. After that, she left the room and left me to my own devices. 

~Bulma's POV~

Later that night, I was on the balcony with Yamcha and Vegeta, and I had been introducing Vegeta to samplings of earth food. As it approached 7 o'clock, the rest of the fighters and friends began arriving. After everyone else had arrived, Goku appeared with Chichi and Gohan, using his new teleportation technique. Vegeta was growing impatient as he waited for Tundra to leave the building. A few minutes after Goku's arrival, Tundra emerged from the building. She wore the mid-thigh length dark dress that I had picked out for her, making her natural colors appear more vibrant and accentuating her natural curves. I had it custom-made for her to account for her tail and physique. Vegeta had been holding a glass of whiskey, and the second he looked at her, he crushed the glass in his hand as a deep blush bloomed across his face.

"Oh fuck," Vegeta purred as his tail whipped back and forth like he was about to pounce on her, causing her to smirk.

"Down, Vegeta," Tundra said with a smirk as she placed her hands on her hips.

After that, the party went smoothly, with Goku and Vegeta eating almost all the food. A couple of hours into the party, Vegeta and Tundra disappeared into one of the smaller vacant homes on the property. Goku took his family home, and the rest of the crew took up many of the unoccupied guest rooms in the main Capsule Corps building. It was two days before Vegeta and Tundra had slipped out of Tundra's room in search of food, acting as if nothing had happened while the pair had been alone as if the bite marks on her pale silver skin or the nasty bruises all over Vegeta's body didn't say anything about what they had been up too. I couldn't really blame them. Goku and Chichi had been just as busy, according to Chichi's text messages and the fact that Piccolo had been training Gohan, even though the kid wanted to see his dad after so long.
