A/N As in the "Trunks and Goten take planet Vegeta" story, the Saiyan language part here is in German, you don't have to understand it though it's just for authenticity. Sorry if it's not perfect my German may be a little rusty
Chapter 6: Kiss and tell
"Bulma!" said cheerfully Zana knocking on her door. When she heard the voice inside telling her to come in, she did and saw Bulma in front of the mirror, checking herself and combing her hair. "Wow, you're letting them loose?" she asked eyeing her beautiful blue hair. Bulma was wearing a pink shirt and short jeans.
"Yeah, I was thinking, why don't we go around the city this afternoon? I mean, I didn't see a thing earlier with the visit to the lab, the lunch and oh yes, the verbal fight I had with my supposed date for the royal ball!" she said growling at the last part.
Zana's eyes went wide open "You had a fight with Vegeta? At lunch? In front of his parents?"
"Yes, you forgot Tarble!" she replied winking. "I actually feel bad for him, I mean, he excused himself and left, and I think his stomach was practically empty."
"Well, why don't we go around the city and I'm inviting you over to my place. My mom would be thrilled to meet you."
Arugula, Zana's mom and Zorn's mate was a weird woman! Weird by Saiyan standards, because by Earth's, she was totally cool! She was cheerful, she was a great cook, even more than Bulma's mother, and she laughed a lot. It was clear to Bulma that Zana took on her mother's personality and looks. After taking a tour around the capital, they went to Zana's home where they had dinner. She discovered another passion of Zana's, fashion! She was completely obsessed and had every kind of clothing in her wardrobe. Not to mention her make up kit! With each passing moment, Bulma could easily relate herself more to the Saiyan girl; they were almost the same age (Zana was a year younger), neither of them had siblings, they were both 'daddy's girl', both of them had clothes shoes and stuff more than they could count but most importantly, Bulma knew for a fact that they both had a slight crush on the brothers. Why deny the obvious truth? Vegeta was cute, undeniably so, he was 17 but he had those sharp features that made him look like a man, he was stubborn but then again so was she and she had totally enjoyed their kiss back a month ago. So here she was, daydreaming, totally oblivious to the other voice calling her attention.
"Bulma? Hey, hello, Earth to Bulma!" said Zana snapping her fingers in front of the girl, who wasn't paying attention. Sighing, she knew she was forced to use her last trick, at which she made a Cheshire grin. "Bulma look, Vegeta's here!"
Bulma jolted up, checking around the room for him, only to hear Zana's loud laugh.
"What's wrong with you, you scared the hell out of me!" she pouted.
"Oh priceless, you should have seen your face when I said Vegeta was here! You really have it bad for him girl!"
Bulma's face went red from embarrassment "Well, I could say the same about you, your face becomes redder than your shirt every time you see Tarble!"
Zana's eyes went wide "H-How…"
"How do I know? Come on Zan' , I'm not stupid. So, you like him huh?"
Zana sighed again. She had to mask herself better. "Yes. Ever since we were little I have been around Vegeta and Tarble, since my father's very close to the King and he really didn't mind my presence at the palace at all. Vegeta was always grumpy and besides, he never really spent time with us, he's 4 years older than Tarble and he and I have an age difference of 2 years. But Tarble was always sweet and polite and easy going. Really, the only one Vegeta couldn't be mad at. Last year Tarble left so he could reach maturity. Vegeta accompanied him and when they came back, he had totally changed from a kid to the teenager he now is. When I saw him I knew that he wasn't my friend anymore, at least I couldn't see him as a friend."
"What about him?"
"What about him Bulma? I'm still his best friend. I don't think I'll ever be more than that."
"Well I think you're wrong. I think Tarble likes you too. Both of you should really talk about this thing."
Zana eyed the girl carefully. "What about you and Vegeta?"
"I don't know…"
"You like him."
"I… I know that… but I'm not so sure about him."
"You've gotta be kidding me right? Bulma… he chose you to be his date for the royal ball. And trust me, he had every chance of taking another girl, whoever he wanted, he's the prince for God's sake! All the girls worship the ground he walks on and yet, when his father told him he had to pick, he took his ship and brought you here. So he likes you, he's just too stubborn to admit that and don't expect him to be the sentimental and romantic boy, that's the only thing he can't do! How did you two meet in the first place?!"
"Well… our ships crashed actually… we had to land on a planet to fix my ship because his was badly reduced… then I gave him a ride here. I freaked out when I saw his tail, when he started to fly, or when he fried the meat using energy blasts."
"You told me to talk things with Tarble… I suggest you do the same. Who knows, maybe you two will have your first kiss at the ball!" said Zana winking.
"Actually…" replied Bulma blushing.
Zana's eyes widened in shock at her words. "No… don't tell me you already kissed him!"
"Hey, it's more like he kissed me! I wanted him to thank me for the ride home and he kissed me!"
Zana burst out laughing. "Well what are you waiting for, tell me how was it?"
Bulma blushed again at the memory. "It was… it was my first kiss Zana and, God, it was amazing! But of course, I told him I didn't like it a bit!"
Zana laughed at her words even more. Sounded like she had some work to do and she was going to deal with the two most stubborn people ever. Not that she minded…
Bulma walked back the way from Zana's house to the palace, it wasn't far because due to Zorn's position they practically lived there. The traffic on this planet was even heavier than in Earth's western Capital considering most Saiyans had the ability to fly with the use of ki you also had to watch your head so you won't get hit by one flying by. When the street was empty she started to run until she reached the royal palace that appeared like a relict out of old times as it was looming on a hill over the modern megapolis. The guard recognized the blue haired teenager immediately and granted her access. As Bulma walked down the marble hallway to her apartment she stopped in front of Vegeta's door. Yes she felt kinda guilty for driving the prince off from the table earlier. She knocked but didn't get an answer. Placing her hands on her hips she stood in front of the massive door thinking about what to do. Then she knocked again, still no answer. She decided not to care and opened the door anyways. Looking around the giant room she found Vegeta sleeping in his bed. He must have decided after his humiliation at lunch it was the best to go to bed early and pay her back tomorrow at their first class for the royal ball. Bulma sat down next to him and eyed him carefully. She couldn't deny the fact that he looked sweet when he was dreaming. She smiled and wiped his bangs out of his face. Suddenly he opened his eyes and starred at her in shock.
"Girl", he shouted sitting up angry about the fact being caught in a vulnerable state by a mere human. "What are you doing here? You're invading my privacy!", he demanded.
"I-I'm sorry, I just wanted to apologize for taunting you earlier.", she stammered.
"And you think the best way is to come here and grope me in my sleep?"
Bulma narrowed her eyes and lost it again. Leaning over so she was in his face she started to yell "Listen I'm Bulma Briefs and I never apologize to anyone so you better accept it and stop bothering me!"
All of a sudden they locked eyes and a tension built up between them. Vegeta could feel his hormones racing as he looked into those beautiful blue eyes and her scent soaked into his spandex. Losing control over himself again he grabbed her and kissed her again. Bulma who was just as blown away as he was pressed herself against him and ran her hands through his hair. They remained that way for a good minute but after realizing what they were doing Vegeta put himself together and pushed her away. They both looked at each other embarrassed. Without a comment Bulma turned around and left towards her room
She closed the door and collapsed on her bed, after some tossing and turning she got up again and walked over to the glass front that faced the planet's Capital. The two suns were just about to set and the cars on the streets were moving back and forth, suddenly the light around the billboards were turned on. Bulma sighed. She kind of felt lost here on this strange planet, all alone without her parents and friends. She walked over to her nightstand and turned on the radio.
"Der Konflikt zwischen den Sayajin und den Einwohner des besetzten Planeten Tazba spietzt sich weiter zu" the speaker said in Saiyan.
Bulma rolled her eyes and turned it off again. It was these small things she missed, just turning on the radio and hear your native language and understand what's being said, she didn't speak a word Saiyan yet.
As tears formed in her eyes she lay down again and tried to get some sleep, but suddenly someone was knocking on her door. She wiped away a tear and responded "Come in! I'm in the bedroom!"
She heard the door being opened and footsteps coming down the hall, then Tarble stuck his head in at the door.
"Oh you're already in bed sorry", he said shyly when he saw her.
"Oh no problem I can't get any sleep anyways so just come here!", Bulma replied patting the spot next to her. Tarble sat down next to her and stretched his legs out on the bed.
"So?"
"Umm.. nothing I just wanted to get to know you Bulma", Tarble said.
"That's nice , what do you wan to know?"
"Um like, what do you don when you're on Earth?"
"I'm still in school, I'm studying to become a scientist and in my free time I like to help my dad building stuff we sell at our company. Oh and right now I'm working on this really exciting project I'm building a radar that can locate the Dragonballs!", Bulma announced excitedly.
"Dragonballs?"
"Yes the legend says that if you gather all three of them the eternal dragon appears and grants you one wish, isn't that cool?", she went on.
"And you want them. What are you gonna wish for?" the young Saiyan asked.
"A lifetime supply of strawberries! Oh or a boyfriend"
"A boyfriend? What about my brother?", Tarble inquired confused.
Bulma blushed as his question brought back the mental image of their kisses and she could almost taste his lips on hers. She put herself together and shook her head.
"What about him? Nothing, what are you thinking kid?", she laughed it off "And you? Is there someone you like?", she asked trying to be a subtle as possible.
Tarble starred at the ceiling "Um no. So do you like our planet so far?", he quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah I guess it's nice but..."
"You're homesick"
"Kinda", she sighed. "So Tarble will it be your debut too?
"No but I was odered to be Zana's escort so we'll see each others in classes", he replied.
Bulma smiled as she heard that, with her two best friends on this planet this cold only be fun.
The both of them kept talking all night about various things and Bulma felt relieved that she found someone to talk to when she was feeling down.
