________________________________________________

Finally after a long afternoon of shopping and being forced to try on outfit after outfit Nelfie was back in her room resting up before supper. She was just lying on her bed thinking of her old life. She missed it. She missed her father mostly.

Keitaro, even if he was her father she still considered him handsome. His powder blue skin, charcoal grey eyes and hair to match made him a sight to see. Even among his race he was considered exceptional. How he came to be her father though wasn't under happy circumstances though. He had lost his wife and son when the planets' moon was destroyed a few weeks before she arrived.

The debris from the moon hit their particular area hard and in a field not far from their village his wife and son we caught in a blast. He became an outcast, grieving alone. Then one day, again not far from the village, another impact. The village decided to investigate, and there in the crater was a pod, and in the pod was a crying baby.

Everyone who gathered seemed to be afraid and didn't want to interfere with the child. They talked amongst themselves saying that it was a bad omen, that death follows where ever a spaceship like that shows up. But to Keitaro she was still just a baby, so in front of everyone he flew down and gathered her in the cloak he was wearing, telling all who were there that he would take the baby and raise it as his own.

That's how it started. He took the crying baby to his home and proceeded to take care of her. He told her stories about the first day they spent together, how once he figured that she was hungry and that she ate more then he did. After being fed he discovered her to be a very quiet and happy baby, and surprisingly strong. But the moment he fell in love with her was when in the middle of the night she crawled out of her crib and walked over to his bed because she was scared of the storm that was raging.

She liked that story the best. But the image of that last day still seemed to take over. She hadn't even realized, until there was a knock on the door that she had been crying. She quickly sat up on the bed and allowed whoever it was entry.

"Hey, sorry if I'm bothering....oh, are you okay?" asked Bulma, she was a little surprised to see the young Saiyan wiping tears from her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just...I just miss my dad is all...." she replied letting a few more tears fall before wiping them away.

"Awe, sweetie...it must be tough huh? Being away from all you've ever known?" she cooed as she wrapped her arm around Nelfie's shoulder.

"Yeah, it is...I miss him so very much. I loved him a lot, it didn't matter if he wasn't my real father, he raised me like I was his. I felt like I was HIS, and he was mine...." she bawled into Bulmas' shoulder. Bulma just held her, trying to comfort the distraught Saiyan.

"Well you know, maybe he's alive-" the older woman started but was soon cut off by the young woman still clinging to her.

"No....I know in my heart he didn't survive when I left. He couldn't have. Frieza's men were too strong for us. That's why...thats why he shoved me into the pod so I could get away! But he should have come with me! He could have!" Nelfie yelled. She let the tears fall freely now as she hugged the woman beside her.

‘Poor girl. She lost the only family she had ever known....’

Thought Bulma listening to the the heart broken child clinging to her shirt. She smiled looking down at her though. Knowing why her father sacrificed himself to save her.

"You know Nelfie, you're right your father probably could have come with you. But I bet he wanted to make sure the most important thing in his life was safe." she paused allowing the crying girl to look up at her. "He wanted you to live, thats what mattered most to him. So even if he's gone, I'm sure he's happy that you are alive, and most importantly you found somewhere new you could call home with people who care for you also. I know this is a little soon Nelfie, but I hope you come to think of us as family okay?" Bulma finished giving the girl a hug before standing.

"Now come on. We are having a little get together with Goku's family, its a picnic out in the yard. So why don't you put on one the sundresses we bought today, Okay?" said a cheery Bulma, trying to get the girl to smile. Nelfie just looked up at Bulma seeing the kind smile, wiped the remaining tears from her eyes and smiled back.

"Okay." she said standing. Nelfie was grateful for Bulma. Bulma had taken her in without question, and now was treating her as if she was family. She was sad her father was gone, but Bulma was right. She guessed that he was probably happy she found someplace and people who cared for her, and that made her happy.

----------------------

Shortly after Bulma left Nelfie to finish getting the picnic prepared, Nelfie walked out into the "backyard"(which was more like a nature preserve really), she was greeted with smiling faces. Bulma sitting on a Blanket with her daughter Bulla, gave Nelfie a wink. Nelfie smiled and blushed a little knowing the dress she put on was approved.

Bulma wasn't the only one who approved, as soon as she walked out of the house a few mouths literally dropped. The form fitting light yellow cotton sundress seemed to be made specifically for her. The cap sleeves hung just off her shoulders, and a bow sitting under her bust accentuated her small waist, and the hem coming to just above her knee made her legs look miles long. Goku of course was the first at voicing his opinion.

"Wow Nelfie you sure look great!" Goku chirped as he walked over to her.

"Um, thank you."She said blushing as Goku wrapped an arm around her shoulders walking her over to his wife.

"Nelfie I'd like to introduce you to my wife, Chi Chi. Oh and the other three with her are my oldest son Gohan, his wife Videl and the little munchkin with them is my grand daughter Pan." He beamed and Nelfie shyly smiled at the family. She bowed before greeting them all.

"Hi, I'm Nelfie. It's nice to meet all of you." she said with a low voice. Sensing her nervousness Goku gave a reassuring squeeze to her shoulder.

"Don't be nervous everyone here is really pleased to have met you. Everyone is really friendly too, well everyone one aside from Vegeta." He joked and everyone laughed.

"Hn." Grunted Vegeta from under a tree.

"Oh don't mind him." Said Goku. "He's always been grouchy, I guess it comes with the territory of being the Prince of all Saiyans." He laughed. She looked over at Vegeta.

He's a prince? Hmph. No wonder he's a royal ass.

She inwardly laughed at the thought.

"For your information Kakarot, I am not grouchy. I am annoyed that you all keep fawning over that ridiculous child." he snapped.

Ridiculous? Child....Dick....

She grumbled in her head.

"She’s hardly ridiculous Vegeta." Goku said looking over at a brooding Vegeta. Nelfie just frowned at him, not liking being called a ridiculous child. She found him to be the ridiculous one. There he was standing all high and mighty still wearing the training gear he had on that morning.

"Oh come off it Vegeta," Bulma cut in. "She's here alone without her family. I think you could be a little kinder to her." She warned.

"Hn." He just grunted again turning away from the group. Bulma just sighed knowing that he wasn't going to give in anytime soon. It was best to just let him be for a while.

"So Nelfie, its nice to meet you. As my father stated I'm Gohan." He greeted her. "Forgive me if I am being a little too forward, but how is it that you're younger than my father and Vegeta, when Vegetasi was destroyed about 40 years ago?" he inquired of the young girl.

She really didn’t know the answer to that question. Then it hit her. Forty years, but she was only sixteen by Earth standards. How could twenty four years have passed and she hadn’t aged a day or been away of it?

The information made Nelfies' head spin. She couldn't believe that they were telling her that twenty four years had passed since her father died. She was 16 here, so where did the other 24 years or so go? She is a smart girl, but somehow she couldn't grasp her mind around what Gohan was asking.

"Wait...." she finally managed to get out bewilderment written across her face was an understatement. "But....I'm only 11...well if I went by Earth calculations that would make me 16. B-b-b-but h-how did I manage to lose 24 years? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME?!" she screamed out slumping to the ground. She buried her face into her hands.

There's no way...there's just no way forty years? H'-how? What happened?

She didn't know how to finish that thought. The only thoughts that were swirling in her head were questions she had no possible way of answering. Her brain was going in circles and it was giving her a headache, or maybe it was because she found herself crying for the second time that day. She didn't know, and frankly she didn't care, all she wanted now was to go back into her room.

Bulma had crouched down beside the confused and troubled child, not really knowing how to comfort her. She couldn't imagine what it feels like to have lost so much time and to lose a parent.

"Sweetie, are you alright?" Bulma said trying to comfort the child beside her. Really though she had no idea how to go about doing so. She never lost a parent, and she has never been so confused about anything as Nelfie is now. "I can't say I know how you're feeling because I don't, but maybe we can help some how?" The young Saiyan sat there contemplating the older woman’s words.

Could they really help? Everything is so messed up?

"I-I think I just need to go back to my room...." she said. To be perfectly honest she had no idea if she was going to be okay or not. To her, everything was just one big complicated mess and she didn't know how to deal with the situation at the moment. "I'm sorry to have spoiled your gathering, I didn't mean too...." She stood up and bowed to everyone.

"I'm the one who should apologize to you Nelfie, I thought maybe you knew..." Gohan gave her an apologetic bow.

"Its alright...you didn't know either...." she said turning away from the group. "Besides, I mean I knew, but I guess it just hit me all at once I guess. The loss of time, realizing I’ll never see my father again.....I...I think I'll just go rest now."

"Wait. Nelfie." called Goku. "I'm sure we could help you figure out what happened. I mean Bulma, Trunks, Gohan and Vegeta are all really smart. So maybe there's some kind of clue in your pod. I mean I know its in pretty rough shape but maybe they'll be able to get some information off of it you know. With all three I'm sure they could fix it and with Vegeta's knowledge of the universe and its languages, they’ll be sure to find something!" the child like Saiyan grinned at the younger one.

The rest of the group stared at Goku in utter shock. Partly because Goku came up with a brilliant plan, and partly because he beat everyone else too it.

"What?" Goku said looking around. "ah...dumb idea huh? Well never mind then hahahah." He said smiling sheepishly with the classic Goku hand behind the head maneuver.

Nelfie had stopped in her tracks at the suggestion. She turned around to look at the taller saiyan. For some reason his words gave her comfort. She just knew she could trust him. She knew he wouldn’t let her down. While staring into his eyes, hers began to water. She couldn't control herself; she threw herself into him, embracing Goku in a tight hug. Her small hands clutching tightly to the back of his gi, her face was buried into his chest while she sobbed uncontrollably.

"Shhhh...Hey it's okay..." Goku whispered to Nelfie. "It'll be alright I promise. We'll do everything we can to help you ok." He smiled down at her. She turned her face up to see a huge comforting smile before her that warmed and relaxed her. Then she felt a smaller daintier hand soothingly rubbing her back, upon turning she saw that it was Bulma who also was giving her a warm smile.

"You know its true Nelfie," Bulma began softly, "We will do anything to help find out what happened to you, and to your home alright?" Nelfie turned her gaze from the gentle man in front of her to the caring woman beside her. Letting a few more sniffles escape her, she nodded in understanding.

Really she was grateful for the help they were offering. She had no idea why she was acting the way she was. Before she was cool, and collected. Much like her father, but like him she was never 'cold'. He kept his emotions in check but was never emotionless. He always showed Nelfie he cared, and she was taught to do the same. But now all of a sudden she was becoming more and more like a child.

Her emotions were getting the better of her and she knew not why. But all the same she was glad Goku and Bulma were there. More and more Bulma felt like a mother, even though it was only three days since she arrived. Still Bulma had a way about her; she was strong willed, smart, yet still loving.

So in the few seconds that passed after Bulma spoke Nelfie turned to her completely, breaking free from Goku she hugged her. A little too hard though as Bulma noted to her that she need air, and laughed. Nelfie pulled back and gave her a shy smile, and apologized.

"It's nothing to apologize for Nelfie, remember I have a half saiyan child, and a former saiyan lover. So I know your strength can get away from you every now and then." She laughed. Nelfie looked at her.

Former? I thought they were still together.....

She thought, but from the way Bulma looks at Vegeta she knew she still cared deeply for him.

It's obvious why they aren't together still....I don't think any woman could stand that guy for any length of time. Still, its love....

Nelfie looked back from the brooding prince under the tree to the woman before her. She kind of got it though. They were in a way perfect for one another. She smiled inside for her, but yet felt kind of sad. Vegeta didn't seem the kind of man to openly express any kind of feelings that were 'warm and fuzzy'.

"Anyways Nelfie, the reason I wanted everyone here was because I wanted to invite everyone to a party Capsule Corp is host next Saturday, and another BBq on Sunday. The Capsule party will be very formal, so that means you guys will need to be wearing tuxes you here me?” She looked over at Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta and they all grumbled something. “Oh and Nelfie we’ll be getting some new dresses for the occasion, and if Chi Chi and Videl would come along we can make a girls day out of it.”

So the woman agreed with Buma’s plan and the men groaned about having to get dressed up. But they were a little excited about the prospect of good food; since Bulma always let the boys have their fill in the kitchen so the guests can get a fare shake at the food. More details of the bbq were discussed; it was more of a party to introduce Nelfie to the rest of the gang that wouldn’t be able to make the dinner.

Nelfie felt a little uncomfortable about it but since this was Bulma, there was no getting out of it. Since today was Saturday they would go tomorrow to one of the more upscale shops. But before everyone got back to the supper Bulma had one other thing to add.

“Oh guys, you’re all getting new tuxes tomorrow as well. This is a very important function and I don’t want you guys thinking of showing up in anything other than black formal wear. Which means NO GI’s, training suits, or anything that has a hole or stain in it, you got me?” exclaimed a very serious Bulma. “Be sure to let Trunks and Goten know when you see them, I don’t need Trunks talking Goten into wearing one of those hideous tuxedo t-shirts again.” She moaned, but inside she secretly thought it was quite funny, although she didn’t like having to explain what the young Saiyan was doing to her guests through out the night. But still she inwardly laughed at the antics of her son and what she liked to call her nephew.

The rest of the night went off quite smoothly. Nelfie had calmed down after the initial shock of having years pass without her knowledge. But she accepted the fact that it had happened even though it was still a little un-nerving to have lost so much time, and to her losing her father felt like yesterday....

The next day, which was Sunday, all the women decided to go dress hunting. The men were off somewhere too having their tuxes tailored for them as well. But the women decided to leave the men to their own devices, trusting enough in Vegeta and Gohan to make sure the other three didn’t do anything foolish.

The five women; Bulma, Nelfie, Chi Chi, Videl, and Mrs. Briefs, went to three different shops before they found one with a wide selection of colors and styles. Chi Chi and Videl had both found something they liked right away.

Chi Chi opted for a black dress that came to just below the knee, with long sleeves and a modest, yet sexy scooped neck. Videl on the other hand went for a floor length gown in a bronze color that made her Black hair shine and her creamy skin look radiant.

Nelfie on the other hand had a bit more trouble. Bulma wanted her in something a little sexier than she was comfortable with, and she wasn’t keen on backing down. Where as Nelfie was more concerned on not having to rip a hole in her dress so her tail could fit.

After an hour and many, many dresses later Nelfie was beginning to get a little discouraged with this whole shopping thing. She felt like she didn’t really like anything that she saw. Not that she didn’t think the dresses were lovely, but all the ones Bulma pulled were either too low cut or way too short for her liking however she tried them on not wanting disappoint Bulma.

“C’mon Nelfie, there’s gotta be something here that you like?” questioned Bulma.

“I dunno, Bulma they all seem...too revealing...”She answered truthfully.

“Oh c’mon they’re not that sexy.” Bulma retorted. Thinking that Nelfie was being too modest with the clothes she was looking to wear.

“Well thats not true Bulma,” Videl chimed in. “All the dresses you have picked out for her were either well a little north of the knee and/or a little deep or skimpy on the top.” She stated. Nelfie just nodded in agreement, the dresses didn’t leave much to the imagination, and she was already well endowed so she didn’t need any extra attention on top.

“Videl is right Bulma, you should try something a little more conservative, floor length, high neckline and for heavens sake maybe something with a sleeve!” Chi Chi laughed. “The girl is very shapely so matter what you put on her, her figure is going to come through.” She added.

“Thats true Bulma, Nelfie has a great figure and I know you want to show it off, but she is only sixteen, so maybe something a little more age appropriate is necessary here?” Videl concluded with Chi Chi nodding in agreement. Bluma place a hand on her chin, rubbing it slightly, and thinking over the information the two other women gave her. Somewhere in the background Bunny was admiring the shoes not really paying attention to the ladies.

“You know, you’re right. I forgot she’s only a teen. Everything does seem a little over the top anyway. Looking at her, she’s got more of an elegant classic look to her.” Both women nodded in agreement. “So let’s find something a little more understated and simple with a twist.” She beamed.

Nelfie sighed in relief. Who knew shopping for a dress could be that complicated. But she was relieved they looked at dresses that had a little more modesty, and thankfully more material.

After another twenty minutes, Nelfie found something hidden at the back of the store on one of the racks. She picked up the dress and fingered the material lightly. It was soft, light weight, and that had a slight sheen to it. She looked it over a little longer and decided she liked it enough to try on.

“Hey guys,” She called out “I think I found something.” She said. “I’m gonna go try it on, okay?” She informed them rather excitedly. They all agreed and let her know to come out as soon as she had it on to show them.

So she slid into the changing room, hung the dress up, and removed the cream silk robe they had given her to make it easier for her to try on dresses. Her eyes wandered over the dress she had chosen, looking at all the details, and the more she studied it the more she fell in love with it. So she quickly pulled it off the hanger and manoeuvred her way into it.

As she left the changing room, and wandered back into the main part of the store she coughed to let the other women, who were deep in conversation know she was there. When she did their mouths dropped at the sight of the young women.

The dress she had chosen was a deep purple, and against her lightly tanned skin the colour made her glow. The cut and shape of the dress hung nicely against the curve of her hips, but flared out all the way to the floor. The neckline was a slight V shaped and gave her a modest amount of cleavage. The cap sleeves were slightly flowy, and gave the dress a more delicate feel.

The four women she was with all squealed with delight as they saw her. They remarked on how beautiful she looked and that it was the perfect color and shape for her. Mrs. Briefs said she looked just darling, while Bulma and the others told her that she would stop hearts, and they would need to have EMT’s on standby.

Nelfie smiled and blushed at them all; they were so excited about how she looked in the dress that she loved. But there was one more surprise she needed to reveal to them and she slowly turned around. When she did they all gasped, at the sight. The dress was completely backless, and went low enough that she needn’t make any room for her tail to poke through, and it hugged her bottom so well and it flared out just under it.

“EEEEE Nelfie!” Cried Bulma “The back of that dress is so gorgeous, it highlights your shoulders and back so well!” she said, getting up and going over to the now shy young woman infront of her.

“Yes, good Kami!” Chi Chi agreed. “I don’t think many men will be left standing once you walk in.”

“I totally agree with the both of you.” Videl smiled. “Nelfie you look absolutely lovely in that dress. Its as though it was made for you.” And with that, everyone agreed that no more shopping was need for her because they saw a pair of shoes at the front that would go perfectly with the dress. With that, every one was ready to go since while looking for Nelfies dress, Bulma had found the perfect little red dress that highlighted all of Bulma’s assets well. All they had to do now was make sure that the men were equally as dashing as the women.
