Once Upon a Time....

ch2: Break up

(A/N: the present-Bulla's class will be in italics, and the story will be in regular print.)

*~*~*~*

"Look Vegeta, I will make your friggin dinner, but you will have to wait until after I get back to have the GR (gravity room) fixed," Bulma ordered.

"Woman, do not make me blast you into the next dimension," Vegeta seethed.

Bulma pulled out her ponytail and let her blue locks fall onto her shoulders. "If you do that Veggie, then who will fix your GR?" Bulma shouted back.

Bulma 'hmphed' in triumph and continued her way into her room to get ready for her date with Yamcha. She decided to wear a black, straps off the shoulder dress that came to her mid thigh.

"Hpmph. yamcha is going to drop dead when he sees me in this," Bulma spoke out loud in front of her mirror. "Oh yea I better get monkey head's dinner ready before he throws a fit," Bulma giggled to herself.

Bulma got ready the feast fit for the Saiyan Prince. "He better be happy that I'm making him all of this food instead of letting him starve," Bulma said aloud.

"Talking to yourself," Vegeta said amused.

Bulma was startled by the presence that stood in her kitchen door way. "Oh Vegeta you scared me. Listen Yamcha will be here any minute. Your dinner is ready and I'll be back later and fix your GR okay," Bulma lectured as she checked herself over. Vegeta grunted in response and began to eat his dinner when the door bell rang. Bulma quickly answered the door.

"Hey babe. Wow look at you. You look great," Yamcha spoke. Yamcha lead Bulma to his hover car and drove off.

"I have a question?" a boy in class asked.

"What is it?" Bulla responded.

"Who is Bulma going to end up with?" the boy asked.

"Well if you wait in listen you will find out," Bulla yelled. Everyone was silent in the classroom as Bulla picked up where she left off.

"Oh Yamcha this place is so nice," Bulma complimented after she ordered her dinner.

"Yeah I know," Yamcha spoke as he looked around the resteraunt. Bulma was getting irritated by his attention span.

"I'm over here Yamcha," Bulma said flatly.

"Oh sorry," Yamcha apologized and kissed her cheek.

"Hey hun, I'll be right back," Bulma got up from her seat and headed to the bathroom. Yamcha took this as the opportunity to flirt with the hostess. He kissed the hostess on the lips, forgetting he had a date with an blue haired temptress.

Bulma got out of the bathroom and her eyes fell upon the sight of Yamcha kissing another woman. Something inside Bulma snapped. Bulma walked over to him and cleared her throat, grabbing Yamcha's attention.

"YOU JERK! YOU CHEATING BASTARD HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!?" Bulma shouted.

Before Yamcha could come up with an excuse, Bulma kicked him in the family jewls and slapped him hard in the face.

"Yamcha we're THROUGH!" Bulma yelled. Bulma stromed out of the resteraunt and allowed the tears to fall.

Bulma pulled out her hover car and raced home.

"How could he do this to me?" Bulma asked between sobs. "First he accuses me of having feelings with Vegeta, but then he goes and cheats on me. Doesn't he care about how I feel?" Bulma finally arrived back home and ran into her bedroom. She jumped on her bed and buried her face into her pillow, sobbing violently.

Vegeta heard the loud sobs coming from Bulma's room. "Can't that woman shut up, I would like to sleep," Vegeta whispered. Vegeta rolled his eyes and got out of bed and headed for her room.

Bulma didn't hear anyone enter her room.

'Woman would you please stop that annoying pestering thing. I am trying to sleep here," Vegeta demanded.

"Vegeta just go away," Bulma yelled before letting out a huge sob.

"What did the Scareface do this time?" Vegeta asked.

"We *sob* broke up. I caught him with another woman," Bulma cried out. She didn't notice Vegeta sat next to her on her bed.

'Woman-Bulma, if he couldn't see what he had then he didn't deserve you," Vegeta softly spoke. 'What am I sayng?' Vegeta asked himself.

Bulma was shocked by what Vegeta had said and stared at him. Finally she wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face into his chest and continued to cry.

"Thanks Vegeta," Bulma said quietly.

Vegeta didn't know what to do. He looked so shocked by Bulam's embrace. Finally he wrapped is arms around Bulma's shoulder and let her stay there until she fell asleep. Vegeta placed her into her bed and lightly kissed her on her forehead.

"Goodnight," Vegeta whispered.
