"I think my hair grew," said Bulla. "But I'm going to explain Time Compression to them anyway. I don't think it'll weird them out that much, to be honest."
She examined her hair. The only thing she had gotten trimmed even a little bit was her bangs - which she did herself, extremely carefully. Everything else just grew out. Given people's typical reactions to her hair colour in Balamb Garden and out on the town, she'd avoided going to hair salons.
A few minutes later, a convertable hovercar pulled up. A man no taller than Rinoa but with considerable muscular bulk and spikey dark hair and what appeared to be a semi-permanent scowl hopped out without bothering to open the car door.
"Your mother was very worried! Where have you been?!"
Bulla didn't answer the question right away, and broke into a run instead. "DAD!"
If he was anyone but Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans, the force of Bulla barrelling into him for a big hug might have knocked the wind right out of him. Instead, he caught her with ease. The hug was returned, albeit awkwardly, with him looking off to the side.
"...you've gotten stronger."
"Um...yeah, see, it's kind of a long story, but I got pulled onto another world because of this thing called Time Compression. That's where I met Rinoa and Sharpay," she said, releasing her father from the hug and motioning to her friends in order. "Rinoa, Sharpay...this is my dad, Vegeta. Dad, they're going to need to stay with us."
Vegeta it is! ...and wow, my notifs fail.
