I don't own DBZ
I hope you enjoy this chapter, I'm sorry I think the scene with Vegeta has to wait.
Hello Ashes, I'm glad you're still with me in this story.
Daddy's Girl
Chapter 2
"What are you doing here? I'm looking for you everywhere. Little Cameron is waiting for us for one sweet photo shoot with her grandma and grandpa. Krillin and Eighteen have just got their shoot and now it is our turn." Bulma pulled her husband's hand and dragged him back to the corner where their family members and close friends gathered and a professional photographer waited.
He grunted, "I don't know why you always considered such a silly thing important. You better make it quick."

He was about to dial her number, but she was his best friend's little sister and this thought was enough to refrain him from calling her. He realized that he had been drooling at her like an idiot at the party. Thanks Dende that he still got his control well enough there. They gathered with all their families members then and also the Z fighters gang. He felt like if there was something wrong by the way Vegeta looked at him when he finally appeared with his daughter and it made him feel uncomfortable.
Her image kept following him days after days after the party. He couldn't forget her long aquamarine hair which was really matched to her eyes, the way it fell down passing her shoulders seemed much softer than the silk dress she wore on her pale skin. He imagined himself running his hand through that aquamarine beauty and bringing it's scent to his nose. He thought he was going to go crazy.
But once again, she was his best friend's little sister, somebody whom he considered as his own little sister too. Not that he wasn't confident to ask her for a date, he was very sure that she was attracted to him too. But, what kind of relationship he could offer her if he started it now? He couldn't take any risks to hurt her if their relationship failed, like all his relationships with all the other girls he ever had. It wouldn't be only a matter of both of them. Would Trunks ever let him hurt his sister? Of course not. And by the way Vegeta looked at him at that party, he knew he would get involved too.
He thought he could feel the floral scent of her aquamarine hair filled his nose again. And this time he couldn't refrain himself from dialing her number.

Bulla was sitting on the couch in the living room and watching TV, to lazy to do anything else. It was Saturday and she was alone. Trunks and Marron and their two little girls were going to play park. They had asked her to come along with them, but she thought their little family needed some times to be alone. Her mother was busy in her lab, never cared if it was Saturday or any days else, just like her father who was busy in the GR like if the earth would face a doom if he ever missed even one day without training.
She used to be very sure that Goten would call her soon after that party. She had seen him very attracted to her (if she couldn't say that he was drooling at her) that time. She had been very enthusiast, checking her cell phone almost every minutes, afraid if she would ever missed his call or a message from him. She had even arranged special ring tone for him. But it had been two weeks since that party, and he still didn't call her.
She began to loose her hope, may be it was only her imagination that she saw him drooling at her, may be he wasn't interested to her, may be he didn't even ever think about her. She wasn't going to call him first, she had her pride. She thought she might go shopping to kill her boredom.
She almost jumped to her feet when her special ring tone rang loudly, announcing that her dreaming man was on the line.
"Moshi moshi. Goten?" She almost forgot to hide her amusement.
"Hello, Bulla. How have you been?" I miss you, I couldn't stop thinking about you for the past two weeks. I think I'm going to go crazy.
"Fine, thank you. And you?" I'm dying waiting for your call, you idiot!
"I'm fine." He paused, what should he say now? "I think I'm boring, are you free this afternoon?"
"Yes, why?" Even if she wasn't free, she would make herself free for him.
"A little girl used to promise to date with me once she's grown up. I intended to remind her now."
Bulla giggled, how could she forget that? Goten was on the top list of her memory about the opposite sex which she barely had.
"Oh, really?"
"What do you think if I pick you up at 5 pm and we take a walk in city park or do you like some restaurants more?"
"And show off to people how much do we Saiyan eat? I'm not gonna embarrass my self, I'm a lady, I have image to keep. I prefer a walk in city park at 3 pm."
"Wow, are you that impatient?"
"No, I just have to back home earlier."
"Okay."
"And no need to pick me up, I'll be there right on time. Meet me in the south gate."
"Okay."
"See you, Goten."
"See you, princess."
Bulla hung up the phone with a throbbed heart. She would have a date, finally. Someone finally had courage to do this. Be honest Bulla, may be this is not because he was brave enough to arrange a date with Saiyan Princess, may be this is because he doesn't know the risk. But she couldn't miss it. This was Goten,somebody whom she dreamed a lot when she was a child. She wasn't sure how her father would react but she had to take a risk this time. She was a grown up now. And besides, this was Goten, somebody her father had known well for a very long time. He was even a half Saiyan, like her. She really hoped her father would approve her choice this time.
"Why do you look so happy?" Bulma suddenly appeared behind her, "Are you having a date?"
"Argh!" Bulla was surprised, "Oh! It's you mom. How do you know I'm having a date?"
"Well, I overheard you."
"Is it okay, mom? I'm going with Goten."
"Sure! Why not?"
"Won't daddy get mad?"
"I don't know about that, but he doesn't have to know. Just leave. I'll tell him that you go shopping the lab needs."
"Ow, thank you mom. Why didn't you do it long time ago?"
"Well, you never asked!" Bulma answered innocently.
"Great!" She kissed her mother's cheeks, "I'm going preparing my self. I love you mom!"
"And don't forget not to come home late! Or your dad will be suspicious." Bulma tried to keep her voice low.
"I know! I know! Don't worry!"
-
"And my client's wife said, 'Thanks to you Mr. Lawyer, now my husband has to go to jail for fifteen years instead of five years the prosecutor sued before'. So, that was the end of my careeras a lawyer." He told her his story care freely, without any shame or burden, like if he wasn't trying to impress her on their first date. May be it was because he knew that she had known him since she was a child, she had known almost everything about him, so it wasn't useful trying to create a new image.
They had walked almost whole the park round, eating some ice creams, watching children playing kites or skateboards and talking about so many things they had missed each other for being a part almost seven years.
"That wasn't your fault. You just can't lie." She smiled at him, no matter how he grew older, Goten would always be an innocent person like when he was a little boy. She still could see that now. "Actually, I don't know how you came up with the idea of being a lawyer. You're too innocent for that Goten."
"Well, it's one of the most prestige profession in the world, that's what my mom always said. I had wasted too much time for that, seven years in college and do you know how many times I have to attend the exam to get my lawyer license?"
Bulla rolled her eyes, she didn't want to guess.
"Three times." he laughed. "I'm a great failure for my mom. She put her hopes on me too high, no matter how hard I tried, I can't be Gohan." Once again, he said that with his cheery voice, like if telling someone about his failure was a joke he made everyday.
"I think we are just the same, my mom used to always compare me with Trunks. I like Design Interior more, but she insisted that I have to choose Medical Engineering as my major. I was half hearted of course and you know, I barely got A in my early semesters."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes I did. But then I found out that it is interesting too. You know, my mom had a project to capsulize many kinds of medical equipments so we can easily transport them to remote areas. People there don't have to go to big cities for complicated medical treatment now. And I think it is very fun if I can help many people."
"So, you finally succeed then."
"No, it is just that finally I can find the fun in my major. It isn't about brain Goten." She smiled, "So, what did you do after that? Did you find something more interesting than the law world?"
"I think yes." He gave her a mysterious smile.
"And what is that? Will you tell me?"
"I'll show you, but we have to fly to East City. What do you think if I take you fly there now?"
She wanted to jump and say, sure! But she remembered that her father might become suspicious if she wasn't at home for dinner, "I have to be at home for dinner now, but I think we can go tomorrow. We will meet again here at nine?"
"You don't want me to pick you up?"
"No, that is not necessary."
"Okay."
-
"Mom, can I go with Goten again tomorrow? Please?" Bulla asked her mother after the dinner. It was only the two of them who were left in the kitchen to do the dishes.
"Sure, why not?"
"Will you help me to find excuse for Dad? I think I'm still not ready to tell him that I'm dating Goten. I'm afraid he won't approve."
"Are you serious about him?"
"I don't know mom, it's still too far to know about it. We have just met again after so many years,"
"Well, I think he has no more reasons to disapprove Goten. Goten is the only half Saiyan blooded left you can choose. He is being impossible if he disapprove, you know. And don't worry, I've just upgraded the GR, he will be busy like a little child with a new toy tomorrow."
"Aw, thank you mom. I love you."
They met again in the park the next morning.
"Can we fly now?" He asked.
-
Bulla took out a capsule case from her hand bag, "I think we better use this. East City is far enough you know. I don't want to mess my hair with flying without this." The true reason was she didn't want her father sensed them if they flied. She threw her capsule, then a newest designed copter popped out.
"Wow! That's cool."
"Mom designed it special for my birthday present last month."
"Do you mind if I drive for you?"
"Of course not. You'll have to lead the way anyway."
It would only need less than thirty minutes if they flied with Goten's Saiyan super speed. With Bulla's new copter however, it still needed almost three hours to reach East City. Goten landed the copter on a fringe area which looked like a huge amusement park, with many kinds of roller coasters and the other attractions.
"What is this place?"
"It's just an amusement park."
"Wow! This is amazing! I've never seen roller coaster as long as that and very high too."
"That's why we call it Amazing Land. Wait till you experience all the attractions. Lets start with that roller coaster one; the Bandit!"
They ran like two little children from one attraction to the other and both of them released free scream and laughter in every plays. They ate burgers and ice creams between the plays and didn't realize that the day passed so fast.
"Why did you bring me here, Goten?"
"Because I own this place. This is the place I want to show you."
"This is amazing Goten." She looked at him with admiration. This was the Goten whom just told her that he was a great failure the day before.
"You know, at the beginning we only had one attraction here, the Bandit. Then one by one we build all these."
"Goten..."
"Seeing people happy and laugh freely here give me great satisfaction, Bulla. May be I'm not good about the business, but sometime we have to admit that money isn't everything. I just see what people want and what can make them happy. That's the way I run this place."
"Goten..."
"Come on, lets go try another ride. You know, we've just built the longest roller coaster on earth."
He pulled her hand to run with him, but when they ran, her high heel was broken and she slided then fell on her ass.
"Are you all right, Bulla?"
"Aw! My foot is hurt. I think I get a muscle bound!"
"Let me see." He bended to check her, "Yeah, I think this is bad enough. You won't be able to walk with this foot. Come on, I'll carry you."
He took her body to his arm and lifted her easily, "Where are we going?"
"My house is not too far from here. I think you better take a rest for a while there."
-
His house was a small two story building outside the amusement park, with a scenery of a small beautiful lake in the backyard.
"This is your house?"
"Yeah. Too small to be compared with Capsule Corps, huh?"
"At least this is your own house. Capsule Corps belongs to my parents. Your house is beautiful. You surprised me a lot this day."
They got inside the house and he put her on the sofa in the living room.
"Wow, your house is pretty neat for a bachelor."
"Thank you. I'll get you some drink."
"No need Goten, just sit here with me."
He sat next to her on the sofa. There was an awkward silence for a moment between them.
"Why do you remain bachelor till now?" She asked.
"Well, I haven't found somebody who really attract me to walk on the altar."
"You still couldn't forget Paris?" She knew she had no right to ask him that question, not even to mention that name before him, but she really couldn't help.
"Paris? No, I've fallen in love so many times so easily after that Bulla."
"Is that so? Is that so, Goten?"
He turned his face to avoid her examining stare, he knew that she knew that he lied.
"Tell me, Goten. How is it love like, that you've fallen in so easily for so many times? Tell me, because I never know how it's like."
He lost his words, like a little child being caught doing a naughty thing.
"Is it something like this?" She brushed his cheek with her hand and forced him to stare her back, "or something like this?" She cupped his face with her perfect palms then kissed his lips.
"Bulla, I...I..." He said between her kisses.
"Shut up, Goten. Shut up." And then she shut him up with her kisses again.
"You drive me crazy, Bulla. You drive me crazy."
And though her body was wrapped and locked by his muscular one, she could feel the freedom she had dreamed for whole her lifetime. Finally, finally she was free.
To be continued...
