Chapter 1: Girl's Night In
It was a quite evening at Capsule Corps for once in the past three months. Recently a house guest had moved in after those who had been killed on Namek was brought back with the Dragon Balls. Much had happened in the three months after that. Bulma and her father had finished building the GR for Vegeta along with the split of Yamcha and herself. She had caught him cheating once again and just decided it was time to move on with her life. Yamcha wasn't ready to settle down, he was to busy playing the field. Bulma could respect that though, there had been a time when she would've done the same thing but she wasn't the one to be cheated on so she had decided to end things. Yamcha and her relationship had been at a stalemate anyhow.
Bulma sat in the large living room of the main building of Capsule Corps watching the TV. She was lounging around and it was a nice reprieve from the long nights in the lab. 'I could use a good old fashioned movie night with the girls…" Bulma thought. Bulma stretched a little and went back to her thoughtful self at the moment. 'Maybe I'll call Chi Chi….She could bring Goku and Vegeta and him could spare, keeping Vegeta out of my hair for the night' thought Bulma. Bulma lazily lifted herself from the sofa and walked over to the wall phone that was located between the kitchen and living room. She picked up the receiver and called Chi Chi, " Hey Chi! It's Bulma….im fine, yourself? Oh yea? Wow! Hey I was wondering if you'd like to come over and have a girl movie night with me? You could bring Goku..Vegeta's here and they could spare..that way they stay out of our hair….Oh, Gohan, well he could spare too or I have a nice study room connected to the living room. Yea! Awesome, I'll see ya in a few!" Bulma hung up the phone and thought, 'hmm, I wonder where his royal-ness could be? Oh well.' she thought. With that she went upstairs to freshen up a bit by taking a quick shower. She got out a little later wrapped in her cerulean bath towel and found some comfy black sweats that had Capsule Corp on the side of the right leg and a white form fitting T-shirt to wear. She then pulled her hair up into a messy bun. She checked her reflection once and off she was to get some snack items ready.
Meanwhile the stubborn saiyan Prince was just coming into the house. He was hungry, tired, sweaty, you name it, he was it. His first mission was to ransack the kitchen. Normally Bunny would be cooking but both of Bulma's parents were out of town on a long business trip. He thought about going to bug the woman to make him some dinner but he just wasn't in the mood for one of their verbal spats tonight. For once he just wanted to relax, which was quite uncommon for the prince. As he walked towards the kitchen he caught the woman out of the corner of his eye opening the front door. Kakkarot and his wife was here,'ugh, so much for a relaxing night' grumbled the prince inwardly. He continued into the kitchen and made himself quite a few turkey sandwiches, grabbed many handfuls of chips, and a glass of water. He brought his food out to the living room and sat his plate onto the table in front of the TV.
Bulma noticed the prince the minute he walked in. 'he's up to something. He's being to nice tonight…let's see no yelling, no demanding. Ugh! What am I complaining about?' thought Bulma. With that thought out the doorbell rang and Bulma went to open it to see Goku and said " Hey! Well Goku, Vegeta looks like he might be taking an early night..your welcome to join Chi and me for a movie! Maybe we could even get Vegeta to stay down here for the movie!" Bulma said excitedly. "Well that's fine with me but I doubt Vegeta will pass up on sparing." Goku said matter of factly. "He's right you know, woman." Vegeta said, now standing awfully close, as she could feel his breath on her neck, behind Bulma. What made Vegeta decide to come over he wasn't sure but now that he was he could only notice how beautiful Bulma looked in her relaxed out fit. That's how he liked her best. When she wasn't trying to look the part that every guy thought she was. She may be an heiress and she may like her clothing styles but she was still down to earth in her own way. Bulma spun around quite surprised that Vegeta was so close. Keeping her cool, Bulma said, " well Chi and I are going to have a movie night I guess you and Goku are gonna go spare?"
Vegeta looked at her then Kakkarot, " well of course, when have you known me to back down. In the meantime why don't you cook some dinner. Kakkarot's going to be famished once im done with him." Vegeta smirked. He turned to walk outside and Goku went to follow and raised a hand to say later. ' dumb woman, why'd she have to invite them over.' Vegeta thought as he saw Bulma stick her tongue at him. Bulma went down the steps into the entertainment part of the living room. Chi Chi was already picking some movies out. Bulma had pulled out two blankets and pillows so her and Chi Chi would be more then comfortable. "So what sounds good to you Bulma?" Chi Chi said. " Well I was thinking a comedy or a comedy/romance. You?" Bulma inquired. " I totally agree. Say, should we order some pizza for when the boys get down training?" Bulma nodded her head and said," ugh, those crazy saiyan's and there appetites, I swear."
As the night went on Bulma and Chi Chi laughed and cried more then they could count. Half way threw there third movie Goku and Vegeta came in and scarffed down what was left of the pizza Chi Chi and Bulma didn't eat and then went back out for round two of there sparing. As the fifth movie finished Chi Chi got up and said, " I had better get Gohan on home. They [Goku and Vegeta] look like their still at it. Will you tell Goku I took Gohan on home. He's out."
"It's no problem Chi. Take care and be careful going home." Bulma said. She waved and said goodbye, then stepped back inside. She went to the living room and picked up a little then sat down and listened to the noise the guys were making outside. Bulma eventually fell asleep to the noises of two saiyan trying to out do the other.
Around one in the morning the noise finally subsided and the men came inside, both equally worn out. " I'll see you later Vegeta. Nice work out, we'll have to do it again!" Goku said cheerfully. Vegeta just "hmphed" him and saw him out. Vegeta turned around and finally noticed the woman had fallen asleep on the couch. He drifted over to her and looked down. 'She looks so peaceful. Different for a change, all I ever hear is her sharp tongue.' Vegeta thought. He sighed, knowing what he was about to do was normally out of the question. He picked her up in his arms and levitated up to the second floor. He then continued to walk to her room which just so happened to be beside his. As he pushed her door open with his foot she woke a little. Bulma blinked, she felt so warm and whatever she was against was strong and supportive but comfortable. She looked up and saw him. It never registered this was out of the ordinary for him," Vegeta?"
"Go back to sleep woman." He said gruffly. He laid her down and was gone in an instant. 'What's wrong with me! Three months ago I wouldn't have even said anything to her, let alone carry her to her room!' he thought behind the privacy of his room. He opted to take a shower to clear his head before a good nights rest.
The next morning was like any other one. Vegeta and herself where back to the verbal wars and trying to outwit each other. " Oh shut up for once you butt!" Bulma grumbled at Vegeta, " Besides If you don't I won't finish making your breakfast!" Bulma threatened. "Woman." Vegeta said sternly. They had come to an understanding of each others tones of voices and Bulma could tell he wasn't joking and that he wanted his breakfast. " Last night I ate the pizza, that was one thing, now I demand a home cooked meal. None of this fast food garbage you humans eat." Vegeta said sitting down and crossing his arms. " When are you gonna get it threw your thick skull that you don't order me around!" Bulma yelled. He loved this game, seeing her get frustrated made his day, she was always so quick with her emotions and it amused him. "Woman, I keep telling you I AM the PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS. What makes you think that I can't order you around?" He said calmly, doing well at winning this mornings argument. " Because I'm not one of your damn soldiers!" Bulma yelled. Vegeta was taken back by this. He wasn't quite prepared for that comment but he wouldn't let that show. "Hmph" is all Bulma got out of him as she turned around to finish cooking his eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, and toast. 'He's not been as angry as of late…I wonder if he's ok.' Bulma thought as she sneaked a peak at him. Vegeta caught it though and smirked," Geez, woman, I know I'm handsome but you don't have to drool over me" Vegeta said laughing.
Bulma had had enough of his smart mouth this morning and slammed his breakfast down and he started to insult her again but she slapped him across the face. The prince was up in a matter of seconds and had her back against the wall. Inside Bulma was terrified but outwardly she challenged the prince." Don't ever, EVER, slap me again. Is that understood?" Vegeta growled inches from her face. Bulma just nodded and Vegeta let his tight grip on her tiny wrists fall. After that they ate their breakfast in silence. He made his way out to the GR and Bulma made her way to her lab.
She was working diligently on a new bot design for Vegeta, as he had already destroyed almost half of what she had made in the last three months. This one was to be able to withstand stronger ki blasts and to be faster and more agile then the former ones she had made. Bulma swiped her brow and buried herself in more work. Vegeta on the other hand was sneaking quietly into the lab to see what was going on with the woman. He was thoroughly bored with how his training was going. He wouldn't admit it even if he was dieing but he was trying Kakkarot's style of training for once. Goku had always trained for a month and then just walked around powered up and this was what Vegeta was trying out. He walked up until he was right behind her and bent down to where his mouth was level with her ear and said, " woman."
Bulma jumped and spun around to see him smirking. She glared at the saiyan and said, " would it kill you to be a little more nice once in a while?"
"Let me think about that….yes, yes it would." Vegeta said. Vegeta was wearing nothing but his blue spandex shorts. Without his shirt she admired those tan muscles of his. He was still a bit sweaty from his workout and it made her even more crazy for him. " So why'd you come down here?" as she sighed inwardly
" I wonder. Maybe it has something to do with it being lunch time." Vegeta said as smartass as he could. Bulma slipped off her stool and hit him on the chest. " you ass! There's bread in there you could've made yourself a sandwich! How do you ever expect me to get anything done if your always coming in here to demand something?" But that wasn't what was on Vegeta's mind. This woman was so attractive in her angry mood. The way her nose scrunched up, the way she put her hands on her hips and leaned forward, and the way she pursed her lips together. Something about it just made him want to try and kiss those lips. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him. As she collided into his solid muscle embrace she knew she had gone to far in her rant. She must be in trouble now is all she thought. She was absolutely wrong though. Vegeta bent his head a little and caught Bulma's lips with his. It was a slow but needy kiss and as Bulma finally realized what happened it was over just like that. Vegeta had pulled away and fled as fast as he could. 'what's wrong with me? What happened to the cold heartless warrior? The prince of all saiyan's! I can't let this woman get the best of me! 'Vegeta thought as he stormed out to the GR without a lunch.
