Bulma walked into Capsule Corp. after Yamcha took off saying he had something to do. She had no idea what he meant by that but he was the not the person on her mind right now – it was Vegeta. She must have hurt him so bad. He didn't deserve that. We were finally starting to have fun; Vegeta was opening up like I wanted him to. And, I go and ruin it. Now, he'll probably never wanna talk to me again. For once he put his arrogance aside and I go and throw it in his face. I'm so stupid. I don't think of anyone but myself. She hated herself right now. She wished she could take it back but it was hopeless. She decided to go take a shower.

Vegeta was furious, he couldn't believe that woman. He would never do such a thing to Bulma. Why had she done it? So, that pathetic boyfriend of hers wouldn't leave her? What did she see in him anyway? Vegeta knew he had a lot of more to offer in size, strength and power but he knew those things weren't important in a relationship. Wait…relationship? The woman had just accused him of something he didn't do and he was thinking about getting together with her. It was insane. He should be angry with her more than anything. Even though he refused to believe it, he knew there was something there and it ate at him like a tick. And to top it all off, the weakling was probably already on his way to see Kakarot.

Bulma walked out onto her balcony. She wanted to speak to Vegeta, to tell him she was sorry for making up such a lie. What if he didn't forgive her? What if he hated her? She saw Vegeta enter the gravity chamber and decided to go down there. Once out on the lawn, she was surprised to find that the gravity machine wasn't even on. Strange… She knew this was the time to go and speak with him but she was scared.

A knock was heard on the gravity room door, Vegeta stormed over there. What now? He opened it to find the woman looking back at him.

"What do you want, woman?" His voice was low and cold like he didn't want her being there.

"We have to talk." Bulma looked up into his eyes.

Vegeta didn't know whether to blast her away or let her speak. Instead, he folds his arm's "Fine." He moves aside and Bulma walks past him into the room. He shuts the door behind him. Bulma turns to Vegeta who hasn't moved.

She really didn't know how to begin. "I'm sorry, Vegeta…"

"How do I know you're not just pretending to be sorry?" His eyes were emotionless. He was firm, Bulma wanted to just throw her arms around him but she couldn't.

"I'm not. What I did was wrong. You didn't deserve it. You mean a lot to me…" she looks up at him once more. It looked like he was thinking but listening intently to what she had to say. "We were having fun and I guess it went a bit too far…after Yamcha showed up I was at a loss for what to say. Even if I told him the truth…. I figured that if I lied then he wouldn't leave me or try and hurt me. He would think that I still love him. I just…I don't want to be alone. That's why I took him back in the first place. I didn't say it to hurt you or make it seem like you were a bad person because you're not…"

Vegeta did not know what to see right now. He was taking it all in. She really hadn't meant it, she was just afraid to be alone.

Bulma sighed. "You don't have to say anything. I'll understand if you never want to speak to me again. I'll just leave you to it, at least now you know the truth." She walks past him towards the door but she felt his hand grab her arm. She turns around with tear-filled eyes and looks up at him. His other hand made it's way to her cheek, his thumb wiping away the tears. He then leans forward and catches her lips in a deep, passionate kiss. Bulma closes her eyes and returns it with just as much passion. Next thing she knows, she's up against the wall still making out with the Saiyan Prince.

"I want you…" she moans in between breaths. "I need you…"

Vegeta's hand made it's way down her body slowly. Suddenly, Bulma thought of Yamcha and pushed Vegeta away.

"I'm sorry, I can't do this! I have to go…" she walks out the door leaving a confused Vegeta alone with his thoughts.

Yamcha was trying to explain to the others what had happened between Vegeta and Bulma. "He would have raped her if I hadn't shown up!"

Krillin narrows his eyes and raises a fist. "That Vegeta, you just can't trust him!"

Yamcha looks back to Goku. "So, what are we going to do?"

Goku looks down and sighs. He then looks at Yamcha. "You stay here, I'm going to have a talk with Vegeta." He flies off towards Capsule Corp.

Yamcha sneers back at Krillin. "Talk to him? Why doesn't he just kill him?"
