Firstly, thank you for another kind review. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and your veg/goku is definitely in the works. Yes, I really do love a dominant Goku. He's the embodiment of power, and I don't like when he's portrayed as a fluffy character.
I stuck with the fic ultimately because I'm committed to it. I needed the scene to be perfect, and I'm happy that you feel it came together nicely. I appreciate it.
YES! A villain. And a very unusual one at that. It came to me suddenly one day, and it's really going to transform this fic into something with an actual storyline, that will have a conclusion (but not for a very long time). Again, you'll have to wait and find out.
The promise will also be revealed, but not until the end.
(I will give a hint at the promise tho': It was made when Vegeta first came to earth and fought Goku.)
Thanks again.
Great Question!
And luckily one I'm willing to answer, as I don't think it'll ruin any storyline.
Yes, Bulma is quite aware of Vegeta's little empire he's building for himself. She is his queen after all.
If you remember at the end chapter 3, When Goten and Trunks ran through the kitchen, the remark that Dr. Briefs makes "Those Saiyans love to play", yeah... Bulma's parents know too. And um... I have some plans for them as well.
*muahahahaha*
