Vitara's date (part 3) and authors notes
Princess Niobe
Disclaimer and author's notes: I don't own DBZ and I never will, I also don't own any of the music used in the following. However it has come to my attention that neither Balu nor Vitara exist so they are mine as well. I'll do a profile on Balu soon. Also I will add some notes at the request of veggie girl. Okies, a few basic notes. The relationship betwixt Vegeta and Vitara is kinda interesting, Vegeta tries to be the father figure (but should I tell? Na I won't, I love cliffies unless I'm the one hangin' off the cliff) Vitara arrived on earth a few years prior to this story I'm not gonna give too many details cause, I'm gonna post her origin story eventually. Let's just say she came looking for Vegeta and found him. Is that enough info to clear things up??? I hope so back to the story!!!
Vitara was dressed to kill in an emerald green dress cut Chun Li style.(For all those who missed the reference; Chun Li style is a tight dress slit all the way to the hips on both sides showing lots o leg. What there is in the way of a skirt is squared off. I'll definitely have to draw this and upload/post it also this outfit is sleeveless and accented by a pair of combat boots.) Three Sayin jaws hit the floor, followed closely by a fourth; Vegeta had just entered the kitchen in search of food.
"Sister! What in the hell are you doing dressed like that??" Vegeta asked shortly after removing his jaw from the floor.
"I'm going out, If it's any of your business." Vitara said scornfully. Bulma chose this second to make her entrance into the kitchen. She took in the whole scene from the three sayins trying to recover their voices to Vegeta and Vitara's exchange of death looks finally noticing Vitara's dress she caught the scheme and grinned evilly.
"Where are you going? And when do you plan to be back?" She asked playing along beautifully. It was Vitara's Turn to grin (You could almost see the horns sprouting through her hair as her tail twitched back and forth like a cat preparing to pounce)
"I'm going dancing, and I have no clue when I'll be in. And Bulma? Do you have a couple bucks I can borrow?"
"Certainly dear." Bulma said getting the same predatory look as Vitara.
"What's dancing?" Balu asked stepping into the trap which immediately closed around him. Gohan finally saw what was going on and sweat-dropped Goku still clueless scratched his head.
"I'll show you if you're really interested." Vitara said grinning like half a watermelon.
"Sure why not, I could use some entertainment." Balu said.
Vegeta finally disgusted, left to continue his training without food sending to Bulma
'Woman you are evil.'
'I know, but it's so much fun, and besides we have to get her out of our hair eventually, she can't stay a bachelorette forever.' Bulma sent back.
Vitara heard this exchange and sent to Bulma
'Don't start planning my wedding' I'm just doing this for vengeance, he made me look stupid.'
"That's not hard to do." Bulma said ending the mental exchange.
"Oh that was cold!" Vitara said. "So are we leaving sometime this week or are you just going to stand there looking blankly at he rest of us all day" Balu asked caustically. Vitara looked up and smiled sweetly.
"Of course we will, but before we get to the club we'll have to do some shopping." Vitara said.
"What's shopping?" Balu asked. Again Vitara grinned like half a watermelon.
"I guess you'll need more money" Bulma said handing Vitara a credit card. "This thing has a two thousand zenni spending limit, so don't buy him a whole wardrobe okay?" She finished.
"Well I guess we should get going then." Vitara said then turned to Balu "You do fly right?"
"Of course I do. Who doesn't?" Balu replied.

After several hours of shopping Vitara and Balu left the last store (Versace) carrying many bags.
"Good thing I brought an empty dyno cap." Vitara said pulling said dyno cap out of her unseen wallet. (Use your imagination for this one). She put the bags they had been carrying into the dyno cap and shrank it back to its former size.
"What was that?" Balu asked.
"It was a dyno cap you can use it to store huge amounts of whatever you want. Don't worry you'll get used to it" She said giggling 'I'm so glad Bulma can't read my mind at this distance. 'God he looks good in Versace' she said and blushed again.
"So, are we going to this Club sometime today?" Balu asked thoroughly sick of this shopping thing. 'You know, when she's not trying to kill you this female is actually pretty.' He thought (P.S. Vitara can't read his mind cuz he's a guy and mind reading is a girl thing unless said female is bonded to said male and thus they can read one another's minds.)
* * *
They arrived at Vitara's favorite club (The Dance Master) about ten minutes later. Just as the club opened, Vitara threaded through the crowd at the door dragging Balu behind her. The bouncer looked up and saw Vitara.
"Long time, no see, shorty!" He said "Who's your friend?" he asked raising his left eyebrow. For a tense moment the two studied one another.
"For goodness sake you two! Hal he's just a friend that I decided to give dance lessons to. And Balu back off he's not going to injure you and I expect you to do him the same courtesy." Vitara said diffusing the situation.
"So Hal can you please let us in?" Vitara asked batting her eyes.
"Come on 'Tara, you ought to know that you're on the list and that stuff isn't necessary" Hal said removing the velvet rope and letting them in. As they entered Vitara went to talk to the manager leaving Balu by the bar with instructions to stay put.
"Hey Joe!! What's up?" She asked.
"Hi there 'Tara I suppose we can look forward to one of your trade mark performances this evening? If so you already know the terms, no cover charge and your bar-tab is on the house." He finished.
"Thanks Joe! I have a friend with me so the performance will be better than trademark and you'll probably have increased business for the rest of the week at least!!" Vitara said grinning.
As Vitara walked away Joe smiled she was his best advertisement after all. Stopping by the bar to make sure Balu had stayed put she found him surrounded by what must've been every eligible girl in town.
"Geez girls give the poor guy some room to breathe! He's new here and my date tonight, so be good and leave him alone!" She said. The girls all backed off looking dejected.
"Are the females on this planet as crazy as them?" Balu asked breathless.
No they're just desperate and you look like you're loaded. And by that I mean you look like you're extensively wealthy, and to any girl that's more powerful than a magnet. 'You're pretty hot- hey wait! Shut up you crazy voices!'" Vitara said thinking the last bit. "Well I have to go pay our tab real quick. And if those girls bug you again just tell them you're with me and they should leave you be." She finished heading for the stage, deliberately swinging her hips slightly. She spoke to the pianist who nodded and pulled out some sheet music. Joe got up on the stage in front of the microphone and announced.
"Back in the Dance Master by popular demand; You know who she is, that sultry siren. Miss Vitara!!" He bowed and left the stage as Vitara came through the curtain and went to the microphone.
I, waited till I saw the sun, I don't know why I didn't call.
I left you by the house of fun; I don't know why I didn't call
I don't know why I didn't call.
When I saw the break a day, I wish that I could fly away,
'Stead of kneelin' in the sand catchin' tear drops in my hand.
My heart is drenched in wine, but you'll be on my mind for ever
*Interlude*
Out across the aimless sea, I would die in ecstasy, but I'll be a bag a bones, drivin' down the road alone.
My heart is drenched in wine, but you'll be on my mind for ever.
Some thin' has to make you run, I don't know why I didn't call I, feel as empty as a drum, I don't know why I didn't call, I don't know why I didn't call.
I don't know why, I didn't call.

Vitara finished to thunder struck applause and in the back she knew Joe was grinning. She had just brought extra business to his club for at least a week. She hopped down from the stage to find Balu at the bar drinking a beer.
"Hey! What did you think?" She asked.
"I now know why we got in without any issues; the owner of this establishment will probably be getting lots of extra business after that performance." (By now Balu had made some comparisons to past experiences and figured out exactly what this place was) "I hope you get paid for this." He finished. He'd enjoyed the performance far more than he let on but wasn't going to tell her that.
"Hey Niobe! Can I get some H2O this direction?" Vitara yelled at the bartender.
"You seem to know everyone here. Do you do this often?" Balu asked as Vitara's water came down the bar at her.
"Oh yeah, all the time. I practically work here, in fact someday I might. But then my tab wouldn't be on the house and I'd be expected to work all the time like poor Niobe over there. Right 'Obe" She said directing her last comment to the bartender.
"You know 'Tara, Joe has actually considered asking you to work here." The bartender said casually.
"Maybe later, but tonight I'm here to teach my friend here to dance, that's all." Vitara said.
"By the way, where did you get this one and are there more like him?" Niobe asked winking.
"He crashed in my front yard and the rest of 'em are taken. Sorry hon."
"Oh well, you know what they say. 'Guys are like parking spaces, the good ones are all taken and the rest are handicapped.' "Niobe finished. This kicked off a very fun night. Balu learned fast and by closing time he danced better than any one else in the club. They played the last song of the night (and the first slow one all evening) and Balu saw the change in the crowd as they separated into pairs and began to slow dance. Laughing at his discomfort Vitara showed him the basics and a by the end of the song her toes were a bit sore but, Balu knew how to dance, every thing from, The time warp to the infamous slow dance. All in all it was fun. Vitara dropped Balu off at the Son house with all of his new clothes and headed home herself.
Balu's POV (sort of)
He entered the house to find that both of the elder males had waited up for him. It was approximately 3 a.m. Gohan was the only one who was actually awake (Goku was sleeping in an armchair)
"You're out pretty late." Gohan said.
"What time is it anyway?" Balu asked.
"It's three a.m. And I only have one thing to tell you. If this dating thing gets serious you'd better not hurt her in any way, she's like my sister and I'd do any thing to keep her from harm. Do you understand me?" Gohan asked.
"That's no problem, and she's lucky to have such a good person as a friend. Besides if I know Vegeta he'd probably murder me if any thing happened to her. Though, in my opinion she is perfectly capable of taking care of herself." Balu said.
"I don't mean to scare you away from her. Heaven knows she needs a boyfriend anyway." Gohan said smiling.
"No, you don't scare me if any one does its Vitara herself." Balu said laughing nervously.
"Well it's been a long night for all of us. So I think we'd best turn in." Gohan said yawning. "Your room is down the hall; take your stuff with you because my mom will throw a fit if she finds on the floor in the morning."
Vitara's POV (sort of)
After she left Balu at the son house she continued home and when she got there she found that Vegeta had waited up for her. She went straight through the kitchen and headed for her room ignoring Vegeta completely.
"Sister, I wish to speak to you!" Vegeta said.
"What do you want? I'm tired and I want to go to bed." Vitara said turning around to face Vegeta.
"Well I'm guessing you made a spectacle of yourself again tonight. Given your lateness I would guess you had been doing some thing else as well." Vegeta said.
"What?! How dare you accuse me of such things? I went out with Balu I taught him how to dance. That's all that happened, if it's any of your business I had fun and I plan to do so again! Do you honestly take me for that much of a whore? You think I would go out and do something like that on the first date? Your imagination really is too active for your own good!" Vitara cried.
"Lower your voice! You'll wake the whole house!" Vegeta whispered fiercely.
"I've nothing to hide! I did nothing wrong. Are you ashamed of yourself? You should be!!" Vitara cried and whirled around, slammed open the kitchen door and stormed up the stairs to her room.
'Well you found out what you wanted to know, Can you come to bed now?' Bulma asked Vegeta through their mind link.
'I did but I don't think she needs to be that vocal about it' Vegeta sent back, Bulma's answer was to chuckle softly
"I'll never understand females" Vegeta said aloud and headed up stairs to his own room.
