When Darkness Falls
Bulma and the gang entered their new home. They were exhausted. They pulled out their blankets and pillows and crashed on the floor. Most fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow, but not Yamcha. He lay between the wall and Piccolo. He looked across from him to Bulma's sleeping form. She was a beautiful angel when she slept. It flabbergasted him that she loved that animal. He remembered when he first found out about the new man in Bulma's life.
~Flasback~
Yamcha fixed the collar of his shirt. He was standing at the front door of Capsule Corp. He came to ask the forgivness of his ex. He knocked on the door. After a minute, Bulma opened the dooor.
"Hi Bulma," Yamcha greeted.
Bulma clasped the robe she was wearing closed above her chest.
"What are you doing here Yamcha?" she asked.
Yamcha cleared his throat. It was now or never.
"I came to ask for your forgivness B. I'm sorry for ruining our relationship, but I changed. I'm no longer the man that you dumped a few months back. Will ypu give us a second chance?" he asked.
Bulma sighed.
"Yamcha, I've moved on," she began.
"I promise I will not make the same mistakes," Yamcha added.
"Yamcha- I found someone else," Bulma stated.
"What?" Yamcha spoke, dumbfounded.
"Yamcha I moved on. I found someone else," she replied.
"Woman!" a voice called from inside.
"Who's in there Bulma?" Yamcha demanded.
Bulma frowned. She did not like where this was going.
"It better not be someone I know," Yamcha threatened.
"Yamcha you don't know-" she was cut off when the door was opened fully.
"Woman what in the hell?" Vegeta looked between Bulma and Yamcha.
"Who are you?" Yamcha asked.
"Yamcha this is Vegeta. Vegeta this is Yamcha my ex," Bulma introduced.
Vegeta crossed his arms.
"What does he want?" Vegeta more demanded than asked.
"He was just leaving," Bulma answered.
Yamcha looked stunned. He could see the look in Bulma's eyes when she looked at Vegeta. It was true love that shone through her eyes. She never looked at him like that.
"Goodbye Yamcha," Bulma shut the door.
~End Flashback~
Yamcha should have known better then. He had this gut feeling. (Probably jealousy) He knew Vegeta was no good. But it was too late now. What's done is done. He closed his eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.
Piccolo opened his eyes. He looked around. Everyone was asleep. Gohan was asleep between himself and his mother. Piccolo smiled. That kid, Gohan, was something else. Piccolo looked at Bulma's sleeping form. He knew she blamed herself for everything that happened. But Piccolo never blamed her. She owned the heart of the man that ruined their lives. Piccolo thought this could come in handy sometime. He also knew that Vegeta would never actually hurt Bulma. He knew that since the first time he met him.
~Flashback~
Piccolo continued to meditate. Gohan was begging Piccolo to join the party, but he wasn't the socialling type. The party was held at the Son's residence. Everyone was there except for Bulma. But she usually was fasionably late.
"So Bulma has a new man in her life?" Tien asked his long time friend.
"Yes, I can't believe she moved on," Yamcha pouted.
"What did you expect when she caught you cheating on her?" Chi Chi responded.
Yamcha lowered his head in shame. It was his fault. He did ruin their relationship, he just needed to accept that.
"Hi guys!" Bulma greeted as she arrived.
"Bulma!" Gohan ran over to her and gave her a tight hug.
"Hi Gohan. How have you been?" Bulma asked.
"Fine," Gohan answered.
"So I hear you have a new man in your life?" 18 asked as she walked over to her blue-haired friend.
"Sure do. Hold on one sec." Bulma ran off.
She came back with a man. He was her height, had hair that swpt up into a flame, and a scowl etched on to his face.
"Everyone this is Vegeta," Bulma introduced.
Vegeta was like Piccolo. He stayed away from the crowd of people. But he kept his eyes on Bulma. Every now and then, she would look at him and they would lock eyes with one another. Piccolo noticed this, but said nothing about it. He didn't want to get involved.
~End Flashback~
The Z warriors were angry with themselves. Vegeta may not have been one of their best friends, but he was apart of the gang. They should have known better. They should have seen the betrayl coming! It was as much their fault as much as Bulma. Everyone was to blame. They had no idea what Vegeta's true intentions were...
