Chapter 5

Vee gulped loudly as she tried to think of all the possibilities of escape. She couldn't think of anything. "Uh hurry? No we aren't hurrying! Not at all, why would we be hurrying? We were just um going back to the mall, I want more books. Yeah...that's it." She felt like she was rambling but the excuse seemed valid. By the way Kakarot was studying her she couldn't tell if he'd take the bait.

"Oh, okay. But why were you flying so fast? Is there, like one of those one day only thingies going on somewhere?" He asked curiously, tilting his head slightly to one side. For some reason Vee found that...cute? No, she decided, not cute at all.

"Oh, uh yeah sure. So can you just fly away somewhere now, Kakarot? You're stalling us. If I miss the sale, then I'll take it out on you!"

"You really shouldn't keep her from those books, she nearly killed me the first time," added Bulma. About time she help, Vee thought bitterly.

Kakarot put up a hand in surrender, "Okay, okay. I wont keep you lovely ladies from your precious book sale any longer. While you're out though, do you think you could try to get a hold of Vegeta? I need to talk to him about some, uh... just some things." Why did this idiot need to talk to me now? Vee asked herself, she was completely clueless now.

"Great," she said, "now get out of my way before I run you over." With that she pointedly floored it ans almost did run him over. Suddenly she felt...guilty? What is wrong with me today, she wondered as she sped away from where Kakarot was still suspended in the air, staring after them.

~~···~~ "That was quick thinking on your part," Bulma said. Her and Vee were sitting at a cafe table in a book store. Of all things, she thought, why books? Vegeta didn't even seem to know how to read, and yet here he...or she, it, whatever the hell he is now, is plowing through stacks of books like they're nothing. The only response she got right now was a slight nod as Vee has her nose buried six feet deep in a book about Alice in wonderland, or something like that.

She sipped her cappuccino nervously. She didn't like this slience. It felt akward to her and she wanted to say anything just to fill the void and pass the time a little faster. But since Vee was reading she didn't wany to bother her. I almost wish I could switch her back to Vegeta right now, she thought. At least then they'd be arguing or fighting and she wouldn't be staring off in space for hours.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Bulma nearly jumpd out of her skin. Vee almost gave her a heart attack, but she was right. She was staring at her, she must have zoned out and ended up looking in her direction. "Is there something on my face? Is my eyeliner uneven? Seriously, what is it?"

"Oh, nothing I was just thinking. I zoned out that's all." Now Bulma felt her face burning. She couldn't believe she had just been staring at Vee while she was reading. "So, uh how's the reading going?"

Vee fidgeted uncomfortably. "I can't focus very well, so not so good. I've been reading pretty slow since we got Kakarot..." Vee didn't know if she should tell Bulma what she had been thinking about, but she almost couldn't stop herself from spilling her soul out on the table to her. "He called us 'lovely ladies' and was acting strange. I...I thought how hetilted his head was al ost cute too. Then he stared after us, I could feel his eyes following us..."

"Oh, wow. Well isn't this, um interesting," Bulma said curtly. What was she hidhing, Vee wondered. "I should probably write this down for my data, I guess..."

"What is it? What's wrong with me? Oh no... Bulma, please dont tell me I've developed some kind of deadly side effect from the ego gun!"

"No no, it's nothing like that it's...nothing. You're probably just tired and over thinking things. Maybe we should go back home and get you changed back to yourself."

Bulma figured that Vee would jump at the offer of being herself again, but it looked like she didn't want to. That's strange... Bulma reminded herself that she would need to do a full psychiatric exam later on both Vegeta and Vee sometime soon.

"Uh sure, sounds great." Vee replied flatly. I don't want to change back, she thought glumly to herself as she packed up all of her books into the back seats. When herboast book was strapped in and she was getting into the passenger seat she decided to ask Bulma something that had randomly been bugging her.

"Hey Bulma," she began, "do you think that I'm...pretty?" She didn't respond at first and Vee almost cursed herself for asking such a ridiculous thing, when she finally answered her.

"Why does it matter? Do you think you're not pretty or did someone say you weren't?" Bulma thought that Vee was becoming self-conscience, but didn't know what thebright answer would be. Vee played with the ends of her hair trying to figure out why she cared about this concept of being 'pretty', but it seemed to mean a lot to her all of a sudden.

"...Nevermind, it was just a stupid question," she said lightly. Vee didn't want Bulma worrying about it anyway, she couldn't know...

"Are you alright? Is this because of what Goku said earlier? It is, Vee tell me what's going on," Bulma pleaded. This situation just went from okay to shit storm fast. She was having trouble paying attention to Vee and flying at tbe same time. This couldn't end well.

"Really, it's nothing for you to be concerned about...it just randomly popped into my head, it was a stupid question and we're going to drop this before we crash into that jet up ahead."

As if on cue, the jet just barely made it past them without killing them. The end of the nearest wing clipped a sideview mirror clean off the passenger side door. Vee wasn't even phased by it, she was too busy trying to ignore Bulma's concerned eyes boring into her.

"Fine, we're going home, changing you back and then you're going to talk with Goku like he wanted." Bulma announced firmly. Although her words seemed commanding, she was beginning to become deeply worried about Vee. They rode in silence for the rest of the ride home...

~~···~~ SWM: hmmm yep I think I will end it there...
Goku: waaaaaaat?! I wanna no wut happens tho!
Vegeta:oh shut up Kakarot, shes had a terrible day. She can do wutevr the hell she wants.
SWM: thanks Vee-I mean Vegeta... anyway wuts going to happen next? Wut does Goku need to talk to Vegeta about? Will I feel any better? Y am I asking so many questions? U may or may not find out all the answers in the next edition of (wait for iiiiiiiitttt...) EGO GUN 2! Hopefully you wont have to wait long to whomever even nos I exist on here...
