Many thank to those of you who were kind enough to leave me a review on the last chapter. I'm sorry I haven't replied to your reviews personally but with the work FFnet is currently doing to the site in relation to the reviews section, it won't allow me to use the link to reply to you each personally. I do thank you for your comments though and I'm pleased that you all are getting a laugh from this fic.

Let the insanity continue...

"Blind Date"

Part 3

Bulma: "I don't think the show exactly had Mc Donald's down as the restaurant we are supposed to be at."

Vegeta: "Who cares. Food is food and you said yourself you were hungry."

Bulma: "Yeah, I am, but I think the show had something a little more 'up market' lined up for us."

Vegeta: "Well that idea got crushed along with the limo so who gives a rats, food is food and I'm hungry now."

The entire restaurant was suddenly silenced and all heads turned as with a loud crash, bang, thump... the camera crew burst through the doors panting heavily from their chase.

Bulma giggled and Vegeta shot them an angry glare before turning again to the cashier.

Cashier: "Can I take your order, sir?"

Vegeta: "About time. ... Right... 6 Big Mac's... 6 Quarter pounders... 3 Mc Chicken burgers... 3 Mc Fish... 12 Happy meals.. and make sure there is a different Dragonball Z model with each happy meal as I want to collect the lot without doubling up [1]... a large strawberry thickshake... oh and no pickles on any of the burgers."

Cashier: "Ummm... You want fries with that?"

Vegeta: "No."

Bulma: "Oh, that's so sweet of you to order for myself and the rest of the camera crew, Vegeta."

Vegeta turns and glares at Bulma.

Vegeta: (snorts) "What do you mean, order for all of you? That's mine, you lot can get your own."

Cashier: "That will be $86.95, sir."

Vegeta: "Do you see pockets anywhere in this outfit?"

Cashier: (Looks Vegeta up and down) "So, just how do you intend to pay for this then?"

Vegeta: "Bulma..."

Bulma: "I hate this idea of equality..."

Cameraman: "That's okay miss, the show will pick up the tab..."

Vegeta: "In that case can you throw in a couple of extra cheese burgers?"

Bulma: (rolls her eyes) "Can I please have a Chicken Caesar salad and small diet coke?"

The cashier finishes processing the orders and heaves a sigh of relief as the camera man pays.

Cashier: "Will that be dine in or take away?"

Vegeta: "Dine in."

Cashier: "Okay then if you would like to take a seat I will bring the orders over to you."

Vegeta heads off into the restaurant with Bulma and the crew trotting along behind. Vegeta gives a death glare and raises his finger at a couple sitting in a booth by the window; said couple quickly pick up the remains of their meal and high tail it out of the restaurant. Vegeta plonks himself down and Bulma slides in opposite him. Within a few minutes the food arrives.

The girl pops the tray down on the table and passes Bulma her salad and diet coke while Vegeta disappears behind a mountain of burgers. The pile starts to wane when suddenly the quiet humming of the restaurant is shattered by a piercing yell.

Vegeta: (choking) "I thought I said NO PICKLES!"

Bulma reaches across and proceeds to thump Vegeta between the shoulder blades.

Vegeta, who has turned purple, storms up to the counter and confronts the shaking cashier. The cashier points a finger out the back to the kitchenhand. Vegeta lines up the kitchenhand and sends an energy ball, the kitchenhand picks up the spatula and deflects the ball. Vegeta gets angrier at this and starts to fire off several balls. The kitchenhand bravely stands his ground and with a combination of a good eye, quick reflexes and another spatula continues to deflect the energy balls.

Meanwhile... the restaurant rapidly becomes vacant as patrons grab what remains of their food and duck for cover. As the energy blasts continue to ricochet off spatulas, range hoods and extractor fans, the odd one finds a target and adds to the overall air-conditioning and giving the place the new look in alfresco dining.

Eventually the kitchen hand, on the retreat, takes cover behind a large model of Ronald McDonald only to have said model collapse on top of him. His last breath was heard to say... The do Ron, Ron, Ron, the do Ron, Ron...

Satisfied that his complaint had been taken seriously, Vegeta sat down again and proceeded to finish off the rest of his meals... carefully checking for any more rogue pickles and removing the little green things as he found them.

Bulma stuck her head out of the 'Ladies' and seeing the coast was clear also returned to the table to continue her salad. She glanced across at Vegeta who now seemed calm and in control and made a mental note not to ever piss off the prince.

His meal finished, Vegeta sat back and awaited the next move. Bulma swallowed the last of her coke and looked at the camera crew.

Camera man: "We are supposed to be going to see a movie."

Bulma: "So let's go then."

Camera man: "There's a minor problem there."

Bulma: "Oh?"

Camera man: "We need transport..."

Just then Krillin climbs over the rubble that used to be the front doors and makes his way over to the group.

Krillin: "There you are guys. Boy have I had problems finding you lot. Never mind though, I see you have eaten. So if you are ready then I suggest we move on to the movies."

Vegeta: "Hang on, cue ball, have you solved the transport problem?"

Krillin: (rubs back of head) "He, he, he.. Well yes, in a manner of speaking."

Vegeta: (cocks an eyebrow) "How?"

Krillin gives a rather nervous smile and dives out the front of Macca's then returns banishing a couple of pairs of roller blades.

Bulma: "You have got to be kidding me..."

Vegeta: "..."

Camera man: "This I got to see..."

Krillin: "Aww, come on guys, it will add to the fun."

Bulma: "There is nothing fun or romantic about a broken leg."

Vegeta: "Oh yes there is."

Bulma: "How so?"

Vegeta: "When it isn't yours."

Vegeta went to move towards Krillin, but Krillin for once was on his toes and shot out of the ruins before Vegeta had a chance. Vegeta scowled then smirked and turning to Bulma folded his arms across his chest.

Vegeta: "Come on then, let's go to see this pathetic movie."

Bulma : "But, how are we going to get there?"

Vegeta: "You talk too much, woman, now shut up and follow me."

Bulma was stunned that someone had actually spoken to her this way and so promptly shut up. She followed Vegeta meekly from the restaurant then her eyes opened wide.

Bulma: "No way!"

Vegeta: "Be quiet and get on."

Bulma stepped forward and climbed up behind Vegeta, locking her arms around his waist she sighed in resignation. Vegeta took a firm grip on the handle bars then put one foot on the ground and pushed hard...

The camera man came running out of the restaurant just in time to see Vegeta, with Bulma wrapped around him, hijacking his scooter... He shook his fist at the saiya-jin in anger then jumped out of his skin as Krillin popped up from nowhere waving a pair of roller blades at him.

Krillin: "Transport anyone?"

Bulma clutched tightly at Vegeta's waist as his foot continued to push the scooter along at a rather terrifying speed. The scenery became a blur as they sped past then...

*peee... pawwww...peee...pawwww...peee...pawww...pee...pawwww...*

The siren and blue light cut through the air like a knife. Vegeta brought the scooter to a stop and awaited the officer.

Officer: "Are you aware sir that you are in a 60 kph zone?"

Vegeta: "So?"

Officer: "You were doing 62 kph."

Vegeta: "So? What's a couple of k's?"

Officer: "But on a scooter?"

Vegeta: "What can I say... I have strong legs."

Officer: "Do you have a licence for this thing?"

Vegeta: "No. I didn't know I had to."

Officer: "Sir, I'm afraid I will have to ask you to hop off the vehicle and wait here a moment..."

The officer goes back to the patrol car to report in this unusual event. Vegeta gets off the scooter and with a funny look at Bulma he picks her up, gives a cheery wave to the policeman then lifts off into the sky.

The police officer drops the radio mouth piece and stares, mouth open at the receding figure in the sky. He shakes his head in bewilderment and looks at the abandoned scooter.

Officer: "I really have been working too many double shifts."

A short while later, Vegeta lands outside the movie complex. Bulma cracks open an eye and seeing they are safe on the ground she untangles her arms from around Vegeta's neck.

Bulma: "Are you sure this is the right place this time, Vegeta?"

Vegeta: "Yes."

Bulma: "So what are we going to see then?"

Vegeta: "The tickets have been pre paid so I will just get them and then we will see what it is they have lined up for us."

Vegeta goes up to the box office counter and gives the girl the details. She rummages around and fiddles with the computer then prints out a couple of tickets and hands them to Vegeta. Vegeta stares at the tickets and thrusts them back at the girl. The girl polietly shakes her head and pushes the tickets back again. Vegeta once more shoves the tickets across the counter. Again the girl shakes her head and pushes them back. Vegeta pushes the tickes once more along with a death glare. The girl, totally unfazed by Vegeta's facial expressions, gives him an equally horrendous glare and pushes the tickets back. Vegeta stares at the tickets as they suddenly burst into flame and in seconds are ash. The girls eyes open really wide and she swallows hard. Vegeta glares at her again. Once more she types in to the computer and then passes over a couple of tickets. Vegeta stares at the tickets, then with a curt nod he turns and walks back to Bulma.

Bulma: "What was all that about?"

Vegeta: "Never mind."

Vegeta grabs Bulma by the arm and steers her towards the candy bar.

Bulma: "A large popcorn, please."

Vegeta: "Packet of M and M's."

Bulma: ( pokes Vegeta in the ribs) "Where's your manners?"

Vegeta: (scowls) "Packet of M and M's ... Plll eeee aseeeeee..."

Bulma gives Vegeta a funny look out of the corner of her eye then picks up her popcorn and moves off towards the cinemas.

Vegeta grabs his M and M's and follows.

Bulma: "Which cinema?"

Vegeta: (looks at tickets) "Number 13. There it is up there."

Bulma: (mutters) "I don't believe it... he can actually read..."

Vegeta: "I heard that, woman."

Bulma smiles sweetly then heads into the cinema and aims for the back row. Once seated comfortably they wait for the lights to go down. Bulma inches slightly closer to Vegeta, Vegeta doesn't pick up on Bulma's movement as he is distracted with the packet of M and M's. He grasps the packet where it says "Tear here" and tries to pull it open...

No luck.

He tries to pull the packet apart... Nope. He uses his teeth... Still won't open.

Bulma watches with an amused expression as Vegeta tries several more times and with varying techniques to get the packet open, all to no avail. [2]

Exasperated, he forces all the air to one end of the packet and squeezes really hard.

* THUD...THUD...THUD...THUD...THUD...THUD...THUD...THUD...THUD...THUD...THUD*

The packet split open and the M and M's erupted like machine gun fire, shooting every which way through the cinema. There was a mad frantic scrabble as the various patrons that were scattered about all screamed and dived to the floor. Cokes, popcorn, ice creams, sweets of all types were sent flying in the haste to get out of the line of fire.

Vegeta blinked and looked around him at the chaos. Then he sat back in his seat and sighed.

Vegeta: "Damn! I only got a few left."

The lights go down and the screen widens out after the adverts have finished and the movie begins to flicker into focus.

Bulma: "What the heck is this?"

Vegeta: "Why, it's the movie of course."

Bulma: "I can see that ..."

Vegeta: "So what's the problem?"

Bulma: "This isn't "Titanic"."

Vegeta: (sarcastically) "They wern't kidding when they said you were a genius, were they."

Bulma: (huffs) "But we were supposed to be watching "Titanic," the one with love and romance in it."

Vegeta: "This is a much better picture. I can really feel for the guy in this."

Bulma: "But, Vegeta."

Vegeta: "What now?"

Bulma: "Silence of the Lambs?"
