This fan-fiction contains adult themes. "The Birth of the Super-Saiyan" has sex, including some tricky inter-species stuff that narrow-minded folks might consider offensive, especially if they're homophobic. You're warned. Don't yell at me if you decide to go ahead and read. (Can you believe it? People have gone through two books and are just now figuring out I'm serious about this part. Amazing.)

This fan-fiction also contains violence and strong language. Mostly, however, it contains characters interacting with one another, so if you think Dragonball-Z is about macho guys bashing each other about the head and shoulders, this probably isn't for you.

Some notes about the time-line: This story starts shortly after Bulma's arrival on Vejiitasei (which would be about the time Vegeta and Nappa originally came to Earth during the "regular" DBZ story), and chronicles the next dozen or so years on the planet -- with the occasional temporal side-bar.

This fan-fiction is a serial. That means it's going to wander about a bit. Don't worry; the thread of the main story isn't lost, and everything will end up where it's suppose to sooner or later. Really. I promise. Trust me.

Many, many thanks to my pre-readers, especially Rhionae, and to the gang at alt.fan.dragonball for always being willing to help with obscure Dragonball info when I need it.
