Driving Me Crazy

Bulma had been dancing and drinking, meeting new people at the party, but after a while wondered where her friends were. She looked all over the house, finding Goku and Krillin hanging out by the bar, and Vegeta and Tien playing pool, but no sign of 18. She approached Krillin and Goku. "Hey, guys." She awkwardly sat next to them, as it seemed she was interrupting some heart to heart conversation.

"Hey, Bulma. Having fun?" Goku asked with his usual charming smile.

"Yeah, I was. But I can't find 18 anywhere. Have you seen her?" Bulma asked, futilely looking around again for signs of her friend.

"No. We saw her earlier by the pool table, but that was a while ago." Goku said as he looked at Krillin who frowned and shook his head. "We can help you find her." Goku offered.

"Thanks." Bulma said as she placed her hand on Goku's chest before he stood from his seat. "Can I talk to you first, Goku?" Bulma eyed Krillin, hoping he would realize his cue to leave.

"I'll go start looking for 18." Krillin said earnestly, more so than Bulma had expected. She turned to Goku, smiling at the man who seemed like such a trustworthy friend already, strangely enough, given the way they met.

"Remember I told you that things didn't go well with my boyfriend?" Bulma asked as Goku nodded, seeming somewhat concerned, though Bulma could tell he, like herself, had a lot to drink. "Yamcha called me back a few days ago, said that he forgave me, as long as I was being honest and it was just the one time." She paused, hesitant to continue. "I…want your opinion. I want to try to make things work with him, except I'm not sure if I trust him anymore. I get the feeling that he's hiding something. I think he cheated again. He's supposed to visit me next weekend. Do you think it's worth it? I mean, from a man's perspective? My girlfriends keep telling me to dump him. I just feel really confused right now." Bulma looked into Goku's eyes as she asked the meaningful question.

Goku could see the turmoil in Bulma, but more than anything felt shocked that she came to him with this question. "I don't know, Bulma. I've never met him, but if you're suspicious, maybe you should see him at least to confront him in person?" Goku suggested doubtfully. He knew he was by no means a relationship counselor. Bulma nodded, realizing that was the best she was going to get from Goku on this, but appreciating his advice nonetheless. She grabbed his hand.

"Thank you." She said as she smiled. "Now let's go help Krillin find 18." They headed to the backyard at Bulma's suggestion, as she had already looked all over the house to no avail. _

Krillin headed to the backyard first in search of 18, and after looking all over was just about to head back inside when he faintly heard women's laughter towards the perimeter of the yard. He headed that way and noticed two women who looked completely wasted.

"18?" Krillin called, not sure if one of them were her. As he got closer, he recognized her and called "18!" She turned to see who was calling her.

"Hey! You're the guy who was watching me dance earlier!" 18 said, laughing as she demonstrated one of her dance moves.

"Yeah, right." Krillin chuckled nervously. He didn't know what it was about 18, but the woman made him feel shy.

"Come join us! Me and my friend, Chi-Chi here are berating men and having a blast, right Cheech?" 18 said as she smiled at a giggling Chi-Chi.

" Who's your friend, 18?" Chi-Chi asked as she took a good look at Krillin.

"I'm Krillin." Krillin answered for her. "I'm a friend of Bulma's. She's been looking all over for you, 18."

"Oh! Well I'm right here. Tell her to come and get me." 18 said with a laugh as she stumbled into Krillin's arms as he warily caught her. Krillin didn't know if he'd be able to get 18 inside on his own, and he couldn't leave Chi-Chi alone out here like this, so he decided to call for help. Fortunately for him, Goku and Bulma were only a few feet away, and they heard him and came over.

"Oh, 18!" Bulma exclaimed like a disappointed parent when she saw the condition her friend was in. Bulma was drunk and she knew it, but 18 and her friend were a mess.

"Hey, Bulma babes! I told you! I told you Vegeta was an ass, but you didn't believe me!" 18 yelled to her friend as she approached.

"I think we need to get her home now, guys." Krillin said, feeling bad for 18 who was obviously miserable.

"Yeah, you're right. Who's this?" Goku asked, looking at Chi-Chi and directing the question at the whole group.

"I'm Chi-Chi." She said indignantly.

"Didn't 18 drive herself here tonight?" Goku asked.

"I sure did!" 18 replied proudly, raising her fist in the air.

"Did someone bring you here that can drive you home tonight, Chi-Chi?" Bulma asked.

"Hell, no! I am not getting into a car with that prick!" Chi-Chi yelled, referring to her wayward boyfriend.
Bulma, Krillin and Goku looked at each other, wondering how they were getting everyone home safely.

"I could drive these two home, but I honestly think I'll need some help. I can't handle both of them on my own." Krillin complained.

"Well, Goku, Vegeta and I drove together. Vegeta's driving, so I could go with you guys instead." Bulma said.

"Yeeeaaah…but Bulma, no offense. Are you really capable of helping these two in and out of the car if they're falling on their faces? Dead weight can be pretty heavy. It would be better for me if Goku rode with us instead." Krillin suggested. Bulma thought for a moment, then turned to 18 and Chi-Chi.

"Would that be alright with you two if these guys got you home? I vouch for Goku, he's a trustworthy guy, and Krillin is his friend, so I trust he'll take care of you. Right, Krillin?" Bulma asked Krillin warningly. Chi-Chi and 18 looked at each other and shrugged, too drunk to raise any arguments or care.

"Right! Just give me 18's address; we'll have Chi-Chi tell us where she lives on the way." Krillin said, feeling surprisingly scared of Bulma's threatening demeanor. The group headed inside to find Vegeta and inform him of the plan, who grumbled about why they had to be the ones driving these women home. But he stopped complaining when he realized he just had one less passenger and would be driving Bulma home himself.

Krillin decided to head to 18's first. He helped her into the passenger seat while Goku helped Chi-Chi into the back seat, following her in. Krillin looked at the address and started driving, while 18 started all the talking.

"Goku, how do you not know Vegeta is an ass?" 18 asked as she turned her whole body around, Krillin promptly pulling her back into her seat to keep her safe.

"Vegeta's not an ass. He just has an unusual personality." Goku said with a shrug. Chi-Chi watched Goku with interest as he spoke. She had never seen a man with hair like his, but what interested her more were his flawless facial features and amazing build.

"Hey, Goku. Do you have a girlfriend?" Chi-Chi asked him.

"No." Goku said as he looked at her for only a moment. He was avoiding looking at her as she was dressed very sexy with a killer body and sat draped in a position that was very enticing. He knew she was too drunk to be making rational decisions right now, so he needed to keep distance from her. Of course, 18's input made that goal even harder.

"Yeah, Goku here helped out Bulma last week when she had a cheating boyfriend problem, if you know what I mean." 18 said as she made an obscene gesture.

Krillin looked at her wide eyed. "18, stop that!" He said as he struggled not to be distracted from the road.

"She told me all about how thick it was, and how she felt so much better after a good fuck." 18 gushed, smirking at Chi-Chi, who was hungrily eyeing an extremely uncomfortable Goku.

"You know all about it, too. Don't you, Killian?" 18 said as she reached across to Krillin, rubbing his chest sensually. "Huh? Huh?" She pushed against Krillin's shoulder repeatedly and obnoxiously. "I bet Goku gave you some juicy details about Bulma."

"18, it's Krillin. And will you stop talking about that?" Krillin peered over his shoulder at the two in the backseat. He could see Goku looking like he was struggling to restrain himself, and Chi-Chi looking erotic as she licked her lips. Krillin looked at the nearest street sign, and realized he might be getting lost. Meanwhile, Chi-Chi took a good look at Goku again, and decided to make her move. If her boyfriend could mess around tonight, she figured Goku was her perfect opportunity to get even. She leaned in and kissed him, startling him. But he quickly responded to the kiss as her soft lips met his, and she slipped her tongue in his mouth quickly. The two made out for a few minutes before the front passengers realized it. Krillin looked in the rearview mirror, ready to tell his riders he was having trouble finding the place, when his mouth dropped. 18 turned around after seeing Krillin's face, and laughed, causing them to stop kissing. Goku frantically pulled away, realizing he was getting into dangerous territory with Chi-Chi. Krillin finally told them they were lost, asking 18 for directions, but she couldn't be bothered to tell him as she watched Chi-Chi move back in on Goku, climbing on his lap and straddling him while she kissed him again. Goku willed himself to pull away after a moment, long enough to say something to Krillin.

"We need to sober up, Krillin. Go find a diner or something." He said breathily.

Krillin looked back to speak to Goku, not sure if it wasn't better to just get these girls home as soon as possible. When he did, he saw Goku was eagerly kissing Chi-Chi now and losing his resolve. He realized those two needed to get out of the car as soon as possible, so he headed towards the nearest diner. _

Vegeta was just pulling up to Bulma's apartment building. She had dozed off during the car ride, and he found the ride a soothing reprieve from the exciting night. He watched Bulma's gorgeous sleeping face, which he found amazingly soft and angelic compared to how she usually looked when they were having conversation. He had never found a woman so attractive. He sighed, then violently shook her shoulder until she woke up.

"You're home." He said as she looked around in tired confusion. Bulma smiled at Vegeta, happy to wake up and see him there.

"Thanks for the ride. Did you have a good time at the party?" She asked.

"What did I tell you about pointless conversation?" He asked warningly. Bulma smiled a smug smile.

"I'll get right to the point then." She leaned in and kissed him, something she had wanted to do since she met him.

Vegeta pulled away cautiously. "I thought you had a boyfriend." Usually that wouldn't be a problem for Vegeta, but in Bulma's case, he remembered seeing her guilt on the morning they met, and he didn't want her to feel that way about him.

"I do. I just don't care about him tonight." Bulma said honestly, but Vegeta knew this was most likely the alcohol talking and she probably wasn't thinking clearly.

"Go home. We'll talk when you're sober." He told her, looking out his window to divert his eyes from her as he realized she would probably be upset now and he didn't want to see that. Bulma hesitated for a moment, then climbed out of the car without a word, angrily slamming the door as Vegeta cringed and started driving away. All the way home he wondered if he just made a mistake. _

"Oh, God!" Goku growled, causing 18 to turn around curiously. She laughed again seeing Chi-Chi reaching her hand into Goku's pants.

"Chi-Chi, you planning on doing him in the backseat, babe?" 18 teased. Krillin looked over his shoulder to see what 18 was talking about.

"Chi-Chi! Stop that!" He scolded. He was starting to feel like a parent with a group of small children. "Here, we're at the diner. Let's get some coffee and get your heads straight." He said as he parked the car. The foursome seated themselves in a booth, and immediately ordered four coffees as well as some breakfast foods. "18, do you know how to get to your house from here?" Krillin asked hopefully.

"Sure. I'll drive." 18 said, already reaching into Krillin's pocket for his keys. He grabbed her hand. "You want to play Chi-Chi and Goku's game?" She giggled. Chi-Chi giggled at 18, then resumed sipping her coffee. Goku was drinking his coffee and eating his breakfast, while thinking of everything unattractive he could come up with to keep his mind off Chi-Chi. 18 gave Krillin directions and they paid the check, heading back to the car.

"Maybe we should switch seats." Goku suggested as he was worried about sitting with Chi-Chi again.

"No point in changing now, Goku. We could walk to 18's house from here. Let's just go." Krillin said as he was getting tired and irritable now. They quickly arrived at 18's and Krillin helped her into her house. She told him the way to her room, and he led her to the bed, taking her shoes off her and tucking her in caringly.

"Thanks, Krillin." 18 said as she laid back comfortably. He caressed her face for a moment, admiring her beauty.

"Goodnight, 18." Krillin said with a smile, turning away until something pulled him back. 18 had grabbed his wrist.

"Goodnight, Krillin." She said as she pulled him close and kissed his cheek. Krillin put his hand to his cheek, looking at her in surprise until she fell back into her pillow, finally falling asleep. Krillin locked up her apartment and left. He returned to the car unsurprised to find Goku and Chi-Chi making out again. He was just happy they were only kissing now, and he only had one more stop before he could finally get home. He started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

"So, Chi-Chi, which way to your place?" He asked, expecting a quick answer.

"Oh, no. I'm not going back there tonight. He's going to be there. I want Goku to take me home with him." She said as she smiled at Goku, expecting him to agree.

"Uh...Chi-Chi, I don't think that's such a good idea." Krillin warned.

"We can't make her go where she doesn't want to, Krillin. Why don't you just drive home and I can let her sleep in my bed." Goku stated simply.

"Goku! This girl is really drunk! You just met her. You can't be serious." Krillin reprimanded his friend while shaking his head as he turned the car to head for home.

"I'm not going to sleep with her, Krillin. I'll sleep on the couch." Goku said decisively. Chi-Chi smirked at Goku, but he ignored her. When they got home, Krillin offered to help get Chi-Chi into bed, but Goku told him he was fine doing it himself. Krillin said goodnight, finally ready for bed, while Goku showed Chi-Chi to his room, helping her into his bed. She kissed him and groped him while he laid her down, but he soothed her to go to sleep.

"Come on, Goku. Just climb into bed with me." Chi-Chi enticed, but Goku just caressed her face as he sat on the bed.

"Not tonight, Chi-Chi. If you still want to in the morning we'll do it." He said with a grin, as he hoped that would stop her pushing, and knew she'd be forgetting all about this in the morning.

"Alright. Goodnight." She said, nodding off. Goku grabbed a blanket and a pillow, laying himself on the couch for a restless night of sleep with the woman sleeping in his bed on his mind. _
