I'm still alive ! ... I just haven't been able to update, Writers block, Deaths in the family, New arrivals into the family .. Needless to say my schedules been pretty full! but I will try to get back on track and update more frequently :) Thank you for your kind words and patience with me and if you have a problem with the story I am very sorry you don't like it but oh well you cant please everyone :)

It had been a big mistake thinking that Vegeta might have mellowed a little. Bulma had thought his attitude might have altered slightly since he had seemed almost concerned when her incident with Yamcha had occurred, But she couldn't have been more wrong. If anything he seemed to be making up for lost time by being even more insufferable than before. He was so demanding!, Ordering food, training bots and upgrades left right and center. She argued with him a couple of times but it was literally like shouting at a wall, He would just give her that stupid smirk and remind her that he was needed to defeat the androids. Not that Bulma didn't believe Goku couldn't do it, Of course she knew he could but she felt like it was unfair to place everything on Goku, The man had enough on his plate he had a family for gods sake! Thinking of them brought a smile to her face. Chi Chi especially. The two women were close, Of course they had started out very uneasily, Bulma being Goku's closest friend and Chi Chi being his wife, But after seeing the two interact with each other Chi Chi lost her worries, The two acted just like brother and sister and she could find no sexual undertones between them. So the two had become friends. They had their fights of course but Bulma really felt for Chi Chi. All alone in that house, her husband and son off saving the world. It would be enough to turn anyone grey.

All the thoughts about the Son family gave Bulma an idea. She clapped her hands together and shouted for her mother. Once her mother came in Bulma smiled and said 'How about a barbecue ? I could ask Goku and his family over?' Her mother squealed and jumped 'Oh that Goku, what a man ! And little Gohan what a great idea Bulma, We can ask that handsome young man Vegeta to join us'. The smile disappeared from Bulmas face. She let out a sarcastic laugh and said spitefully 'Mom I don't want him there, And even if we asked him. he'd say no, He isn't ruining it'. Mrs. Brief just shook her head at her daughters rude behavior and went to the kitchen to make arrangements. Bulma reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed the familiar number and smiled when she heard her friends voice on the other side.

Once her phone call was over she strolled into the kitchen to talk to her mother. Not seeing her in the kitchen she turned to walk out the back garden when she collided with what felt like a wall. She reached out to steady herself, grabbing onto the 'wall'. 'Kindly get your hands off me woman' Came a voice she had come to hate. 'With pleasure' She said snootily back at him. She straightened herself up and made to move past him when he spoke again. 'Your psycho mother is in the garden with meat, what is she doing ?'. Bulma looked at him strangely for a minute before realizing that he was indeed an alien. 'Uh were having a barbecue, Goku, Chi Chi and Gohan are coming over, You can just eat inside, or better yet eat now'. Vegeta narrowed his eyes at her. He obviously didn't want to eat with those blasted idiots but it almost sounded like this little woman was telling him what to do. 'I will eat where and when I chose, Foolish human'. Bulma sighed, She really didn't have time for this right now. 'Look Vegeta, do what you want, But please don't disturb this, I haven't seen Goku in forever and I'd like a peaceful night'. Vegeta smirked for a minute before chuckling softly. 'Perhaps if you were as close to him as you claim to be he would come see you more often, And not just when he requires something, Come to think of it, None of them seem very bothered about seeing you'. He heard a sharp intake of breath. Clearly he had hit a nerve. Bulma didn't even grace him with an answer, She just straightened her back and pushed past him. He could have stopped her, but chose to late her go, Having gotten the last word in the argument.

Bulma walked over to her mother, seething. Seeing her mother was busy she sat down on one of the chairs that littered the garden. She leaned back in her seat, thinking. It wasn't that she thought Vegeta was right, It was just that she was a little insecure about her relationship with the Z gang. It seemed it was always her organizing things and getting them together. She sighed and shut off that negative voice in her mind, The guys were busy and she was being selfish. 'Whatcha thinking about B?' Came a voice behind her. She jumped in her seat before turning to see Goku, hand outstretched as if to touch her shoulder. 'My God Goku!, You almost sent me into cardiac arrest'. He scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly 'Sorry, I always forget you cant sense me'. She gave him a smile before jumping up and receiving a bear hug from her friend. 'Where Cheech?' She said looking over his shoulder. He untangled himself from her and set her back down. 'Inside, She's helping your mom, You know Chi Chi, when she's cooking she's happiest'. Bulma laughed and stood up. 'That's true, I'm gonna go in and say hi'. She walked briskly into the kitchen where she saw the familiar head of black hair. She hugged the younger woman and sat down with little Gohan, Who appeared to be doing homework. 'Still studying little fella?' she said quietly to him. He looked up and gave her a grin. 'Yeah I didn't finish in time so Mom said it would be okay to do it here'. Bulma looked at the sheet in front of the boy, It was an equation. 'Difficult stuff Gohan, Your gonna be the smartest kid alive if you keep this up'. 'Darn right he is' came a voice behind her head. Bulma looked up to see Chi Chi smiling proudly at Gohan.

'Food everyone' Came Mrs. Briefs voice from outside. They all got up and trudged outside. When they saw Goku making for the massive amount of food gathered everyone moved quicker. Mrs Briefs piled a plate high and turned to her daughter. 'Bulma Honey would you mind taking this to Vegeta ?, He said he's going to eat in the GR tonight.' Bulma breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Vegeta had agreed to stay out of the way. 'Sure thing Mom'. She stood up and took the plate, Balancing all the way over to the GR. Her hands surrounding the massive plate, she knocked by kicking the door, Which was a stupid thing to do really since it was made out of one of the strongest metals in the world. She yelped and stood on one foot, Wanting to cradle her poor foot but having occupied hands. The door opened and Vegeta growled at the sight of the stupid woman, Face screwed up in pain while almost hopping on one foot. He grabbed the plate of food off her. He turned to go back inside when he heard her annoyingly shrill voice say 'You're WELCOME'. He turned to her and laughed outright. 'Slaves aren't there to be polite to, Tell Kakarrot to come to me for sparring, His brat too'. Bulma bared her teeth at him and let out what sounded like a growl. Vegeta was slightly taken back, the woman was more Saiyan like than he had initially thought. She turned on her heel and left, Limping slightly. Vegeta just stood there, Watching as her hips swayed slightly with her walk, Before turning around and devouring his food.

Hmmm not exactly happy with it but oh well. I know there isn't much interaction between the two but being realistic.. Vegeta is the king of all dickheads and Bulma isn't exactly the nicest girl in the world either, so i'm not going to have them all fluffy lovey-dovey with each other But yeah, at least I actually Updated :) Goodbye for now!
