Bulma looked quite small compared to the big men that began to fill up the conference room around her. Yet she commanded all the power in the room. The Generals began to take their seats, just as the final General sat down a loud explosion was heard outside.

The noise coming outside the window was typical of Vegeta's training schedule so Bulma didn't even look up when the Generals rushed over to the window to see what had happened. When they say the hole the gravity simulator left, they gasped then turned around and asked Bulma what had happened.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen there's nothing to worry about here, it's simply a test we're running, now if you'll please return to your seats we can start the meeting." This did not satisfy the Generals, (civilians what can you do?), but they returned to their seats anyhow. Bulma rose in front of the mean and turned on the projector.

BANG! Another explosion rocked the room but instead of running to the window, the Generals turned and looked at the door were a very angry Saiyan was staring at Bulma.

"WOMAN! Fix my machine!"

"Gentlemen, let me introduce Vegeta, the inventor of those wonderful scouters." Bulma lied, Vegeta did show Capsule Corp how to make scouters, but he didn't invent them. "Vegeta please take a seat with the Generals here."

Vegeta winced and approached Bulma and muttered audibly in her ear "You will fix my machine woman, as soon as we are done with these pathetic excuses for Generals".

"Don't try anything funny, I'm watching you Vegeta and if you mess up, no machine for a week." Bulma muttered back.

Damn. Vegeta hated having to submit to other's will, but if that what it took to beat that clown Kakorrat, then so be it. He sank into his and pouted.

The meeting continued without anymore interruptions, and Bulma was surprised to see that Vegeta actually managed to stay awake through the entire meeting. And she was even more surprised that he didn't say anything out of line, finally the dumb-assed Saiyan was learning how to act. She thanked the Generals and the meeting ended.

"Are you ready to fix my machine yet woman?" Vegeta was rewarded with a jump as Bulma turned around to face him.

"Oh its you…"

"Of course, I'm always so charmed to be in your almighty presence."

"I'm sure, well is that all or do you have something else you need fix, maybe a cup of coffee, your royal highness" Bulma said dryly.

"Actually some coffee would be nice, but it appears someone else needs your attention so you can make it for after you fix my gravity simulator."

Bulma made to punch, although she knew it was futile, and tried only to be blocked where Vegeta's stomach should have been. Vegeta grasped her fist tightly and pulled her closer to him.

"Excuse me miss," one of the Generals was standing behind her, this was very awkard. Vegeta let go and she turned around to look eye to eye with him. "Aah it so nice to see young love (sweatdrop, grrr!), well I was coming to congradulate you on your fine discovery and ask you if you'd like to come to a dinner party I'm having on Friday to celebrate our newest agreement."

"Ummm.. I dunno," Bulma stuttered, man was this strange

"And of course we'd be honored if Mr. Vegeta would accompany you. And if you don't come, well I'll feel very insulted and I'm not sure we'll be interested in your product." It was now Bulma's turn to give in.

"Sure I wouldn't miss it for the world." Bulma said, she hoped he didn't catch the resentment in her tone.

"Good then I'll see you and Mr. Vegeta there." And the General turned and left.

Bulma sank into a chair, shit she was going to have to pretend to Vegeta's girlfriend for a whole night, they couldn't even get along for an hour, today was a miracle. Bulma heard a plap and say Vegeta sit down next to her and put his feet up on the conference table.

"Get your feet off jerk."

"What the matter sweetie, don't want me to get blood on your furniture?" Vegeta replied sarcastically. Bulma staired down at his blood caked boots.

"What the hell didn't you understand about get your boots of my table?" Bulma yelled.

Vegeta swivled around, "Oh I understood perfectly, but in want to know What The Hell you don't understand about fix my gravity simulator now?" Bulma sat there staring at him, minutes ticked by, bored of the staring contest she got up and left.

"You can't leave me I'm a prince!"

"Well your highness I am, and by the way fix you own fucking time machine!" Bulma slammed the door only to have Vegeta catch before it hit the doorframe.

"No I don't think so, your gonna fix my time machine now!" Bulma looked over at Vegeta's finely toned muscles, and decided to give up.

"Fine, I'll do it." And with that she left Vegeta in the doorway alone.
