100 word Drabble by Lady Lark

"Nerd!"
"Freak!"
"Smarty-pants."
Kami, I hated high school! I hated
the girls with their stuck up superior attitudes. But most of all I hated the
boys. Stupid boys, who made fun of me because I was smarter
than them and not afraid to show it. I hated it.
They were going to regret treating me they way they did. I found something that was going to make it all better. A funny orange ball with some stars in it. I did my research. I know what seven of them brought together can do.
I'll find them!
And then they'll see.

Challenge: Defining Moment
AN: I see this as a possible Toriyama never goes into
why Bulma starts her Dragonball
hunt. All we really know is that her
main wish is for the perfect
boyfriend. Something that with her looks and her money she should really have
no problems getting, if there weren't some other issues. Speaking from
experience I know that teenage boys in general are intimidated by women who are
smarter than them and that teenage girls are some of the meanest individuals
known to man. I see this as the defining moment for the series. Because without
Bulma the series never would have gotten off of the
ground. Also if you think about it, it is Bulma not Goku or any other character, that
provides most of the plot devices/solutions. Just like it is Vegeta who invariably in the climatic battle does something
to make the scales tilt toward the hero's side.
