Hey guys a lot of Bulma and Vegeta intense moments so please review and read on! ;) B/V forever! ;)

Bulma POV

The loud purr of the engine drowned out the constant patter of rain against the glass windshield as is steered us towards the grand plaza. We landed on the roof top since the ball was held on the top floor. Chi-chi got out and stretched her legs while I got out, slamming the door shut. Finally we were one door away from the ball room.

"You remember what I taught you?"

"Of course."

"Good you ready?"

"Always, I said with one final push."

The sight I saw was a glittering gold room with many people in various colors all staring at me. I searched around for a less crowded area and found one at the back corner of the room. Whistles and chants were exchanged as I walked by and quickly blushed. Relieved that I had made it I walked faster and managed to bump into someone who felt like a brick wall.

"Um excuse me but you're in my way…"

"And you're in mine, said the smirking stranger."

"My mistake I'll just be going then…"

But apparently he found it rather amusing seeing as he stepped in front of me to block my path. Now that I look at him he's quite attractive but that doesn't mean he's as pretty on the inside as he is out.

"And where would you be off to? You just got here."

"Oh well I—"

"Seems to me like you're in a hurry, tell me, do I intimidate you? His eyebrows rose to the amused tone he spoke in."

"Hardly, I scoffed."

"The name is Vegeta."

"Well Vegeta could you please move?"

"No thanks I'm quite comfortable here."

I remembered Chi-chi telling me about how some boys were stubborn but this one was RIDICULOUS!

"What do you want?"

"Many things but soon I will get them, as for you question I would like a dance…with you."

"Me why?"

"Because you fascinate me with your beauty and are a mystery to everyone in this room except perhaps your friend over there."

"Well I…"

"Woman I'm waiting."

"I suppose a dance couldn't hurt."

"Great, he said dragging her to the center floor."

A slow song played and I wondered how I went from being alone to dancing with the most attractive guy I ever met though he did seem a bit rude and arrogant. All eyes watched as I took his hand in mine. He gave a small nod and I gave him a radiant smile. So we twirled at a steady pace with little movement.

"Why so quiet woman?!"

"I'm trying not to fall asleep here and my name is not WOMAN! I hissed."

"Well what should I call you then?"

"Um I can't tell you that…"

"Why not?!"

"It's um embarrassing! yah that's it!"

"You really are the odd type."

"Well this dance isn't any better."

"What do you mean?!"

"Not you silly I mean the dance is boring, say I have an idea wait here."

So I left him with his mouth open and eyes watching my every move. Now I may not have been good at slow songs but I was great at party songs…I danced to them all the time in my room. The orchestra was no DJ but it would have to do. I approached them confidently.

"Here's a hundred yen if you can make a song with it bit more action."

The conductor went wide eyed but to the slip of green paper out of my hand, no questions asked.

"Start the song in one minute; I said leaving the conductor nodding to himself."

With that I found my way back to Vegeta. He was there with curious eyes and a puzzled expression.

"Now let's see what you can really do, I challenged."

At that exact moment the song played. It was a fast but catchy jig and it was quite entertaining. Immediately I grabbed him arm and swung him back and forth as we span across the floor. He was good and seemed to be getting the hang of things. We ran across the room cart wheeling and back flipping next to each other.

A single violin sawed away at the notes as I did something most unlady like. I picked up the front of my skirt and kicked up my heels showing my legs to all who was watching. This caused a serious blush from Vegeta as he picked me up in his arms and threw me into the air. For a moment I felt like I was weightless but the gravity sent me back down into his arms. The song ended and we were both breathing heavily.

"Now THAT was fun!"

"Hmph."

"Oh come one you know you had fun, admit it!"

"I admit nothing!"

That's when I tickled him in the ribs until he began laughing uncontrollably.

"Would….you….STOP…that!"

"Not until you say you had fun, I teased."

"Never!"

Then he picked me up bridal style and carried me out onto a private balcony away from the chattering crowds.

"Vegeta where are you taking me?"

"Just thought we should get away from people they seem to be annoying."

"You think everything is annoying!"

"Not true I find you entertaining to some degree."

"Lucky me, I said rolling my eyes."

Vegeta just stood there looking at the sky above. He seemed angry almost distant from other people, maybe he wasn't a people person but then again I wondered what was troubling him.

"So."

"So what?"

"What's on your mind?"

"Like I'd tell you."

"Might make you feel better."

"So does revenge."

"Revenge on what?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me."

This earned a look a respect as he made eye contact with her.

"It's the Brief family."

"The ones that own Capsule Corp."

"Yes they have been rivals with my families company for years and now I find they have a daughter to continue the horror."

"What do you know about her? She asked cautiously."

"Nothing but don't need too, she's a anti social bookworm that's what she is and probably to weak to defend herself."

"Now I'm sure that not true."

"What make you so sure?!"

"Maybe she is a prisoner on the inside I mean do you really want to take over your family business?"

The boy sighed. "It's not that simple I'm am counted on and—"

"And it's your life don't let people take it away from you."

"Then what is your story."

"I haven't had freedom in so long and I just wanted to try something new. My parents mean well but…"

"But what?"

"Nothing, I just wanted a taste before my life is controlled again."

"If your parents really cared about you they'd let you go. You don't have to put up with it just start fresh somewhere else."

"Vegeta promise me you won't give in to your revenge."

"And why would I do something like that?"

"Because you are good man."

"You don't know me that well I could be a very bad man."

"But you're not."

Vegeta had moved awfully close in the past minute or two and now he raised a hand and ran it through a strand of her hair.

"Who exactly did you say you were again?"

"I—"

This man was a stranger to me yet I felt like I could tell him anything. Was I really going to trust him with this information?, he said he wanted revenge on my family plus he insulted me in the process. There was no way I could answer his question but I could give him this.

"Well?"

"This is for everything."

Suddenly there was no more space as I sealed the deal and my first kiss. I grabbed his suit and pulled him down as his lips met mine. Surprise was replaced by passion as his hands were on my waist, pulling me tightly to his chest. My hands rested around his neck and my palm cradled his head as I shed a single tear. This is the last I would see of him.

We drew apart in need for air and my head was spinning when I heard it. There I saw the West city central clock from the balcony as it struck half past eleven. I was going to be late.

"I'm sorry I…I have to go"

Vegeta was still in a trance like state when I rushed forward weaving my way through the crowd of dancers. Finally I found the food table and saw I interrupted a moment between Chi-chi and a mystery dude with odd hair. There was no time as I yanked her arm pulling her away in a daze.

"Come one time to go."

"Wait! I never even said good bye!"

"Oh well but we have to leave NOW!"

So we raced up the stairs onto the building roof. Rain soaked my hair as I pulled out the capsule and revealed the helicopter. In a rush I opened the door and began pressing as much buttons as I could. Chi-chi shut her side door just in time as we took off into the night sky.

"What's wrong Bulma?"

"Nothing."

"Your eyes are red have you been crying?"

I felt water run down my check but I could not tell what rain was and what tears were.

"Maybe but let's just forget about it okay?

"Okay."

We were headed for my home but then something Vegeta said made a burning impression on my mind, if your parents really cared about you they'd let you go. You don't have to put up with it just start fresh somewhere else…

"Bulma hello?"

"Huh?"

"You were zoning out."

"Oh, hey Chi-chi, change of plans."

"Yah?"

"Were going over to your house."

"What?!"

"Look it's been a crazy night and I need some time to think without being monitored by my parents, or security guards, or anyone else."

"I understand your welcome to stay at my house as long as you like."

"Just promise my stay we'll be our little secret."

"Why?!"

"I can't face my parents just yet and they'll find me missing. I don't want your parents to get in trouble for keeping me here when they call every police squad in town."

"Fair enough."

"Good."

"Bulma?"

"Yes?"

"Who was he?"

A million things could have been said to answer my friend's question but I just didn't have the heart to tell her yet. The pain in my heart was fresh as new tears trailed down my face, somehow I still managed to smile.

"His name was Vegeta."
