Chapter 9

The Breakup Blues

The next day Bulma confronted Yamcha about what had happened the night before. He tried to explain and come up with excuses but Bulma wasn't going to hear it and she ended it. Yamcha was upset about the breakup, so he left west city with Pu'ar and headed back to Diablo Desert where his hideout still stood, just until he cooled off. Bulma was so heartbroken that she stayed in her room during most of the few days that followed it. She hadn't told Goku about the breakup and wasn't sure if she should. She hated bottling it up inside, and she knew she eventually would need to talk to someone about it.

Goku hadn't seen Bulma since she had left the party on Halloween night, and he wasn't going to look for her, in fear that she might still be upset about those girls talking to him. He was in the training room cleaning things up a bit after he, Gohan, and Piccolo's training session. He picked up his orange gi top and his blue undershirt and began to walk from the room, but bumped into Vegeta.

"Hey Vegeta," Goku greeted his rival.

"Kakarrot," Vegeta growled.

"In a bad mood today?"

"Anytime you are around I am in a bad mood," Vegeta snarled.

"Are you gonna train?"

"No, Kakarrot, I just came in here to watch you clean up," came Vegeta's sarcastic remark, "Of course I came in here to train, moron!"

"Well, have fun, I guess."

Goku walked from the room and closed the door. Why was Vegeta so mean sometimes? Goku just shrugged as he walked down the halls to find his room so he could shower.

Bulma sat in her room at her desk, looking at photos from the past, the only thing that had been able to make her feel better in the past few days. She had looked through them many times, but had always skipped over one, because she knew that one photo would make her upset again. Today, however, she felt daring, so she decided that when it came to that picture she would look at it. She went through the pile of photos, looking at them one by one, until she finally came to the dreaded one. She picked it up and stared at it.

In the photo, Yamcha stood with Bulma, his arm around her shoulders, while she looked at him. Goku and Krillin were in the picture too, but it was when they were much younger. They looked as if they were fighting to see who would be seen in the picture and it seemed that Goku won, for he had pushed Krillin's head down so that camera would not capture his face, but the top of his bald head gave it away that was him.

Bulma's eyes filled with tears, she sighed; she knew that it was going to happen, but she couldn't help feeling stupid that she would let this bother her. So she looked at the little Goku in the picture, his trademark grin seeming all the larger on his small face. She let out a soft chuckle as she thought about her saiyan friend. It was so hard to believe that he had descended from an evil race of aliens, because he was so innocent, not even knowing the difference between boys and girls until he had to find out himself one morning after catching a "glimpse" of Bulma.

She sighed again, thinking of Goku made her remember how much she cared about him. Goku had always been there for her, even when she was angry at him he was there to protect her from the next enemy.

Tears found their way to Bulma's eyes again, damn it all, she thought. She needed to talk to somebody, somebody wise, somebody who could listen, somebody who was smart, somebody who she could trust.

"I really need to talk to you about something," Bulma said to Piccolo.

"What is it?" Piccolo growled.

"I've been feeling weird ever since me and Yamcha broke up…"

"Girl, I don't care. I do not understand this 'breakup' and 'love' subject."

"I don't need you to understand," Bulma screamed, "I just need you to listen to me. I really need someone to talk to."

"No!" the namekian said in finality.

Bulma began to sniffle and tears fell from her eyes. Piccolo looked up at her and groaned.

"Fine, talk away."

"I've actually been feeling weird for a while now, but after me and Yamcha broke up it got weirder. You see a long time ago, when you came at the tournament, I liked Son Goku. I wanted to tell him, but he got married to Chi-Chi before I could talk to him about it, and eventually I forgot that I liked him. Recently, I started liking him again, but now I'm not sure what to feel after my breakup with Yamcha. What should I do?"

"Listen," Piccolo said with a sigh, "I do not know what you should do. Did you not hear me before? I do not understand love!"

"You are no help!" Bulma shrieked. She turned on her heel and stormed out of the room.

"I wasn't supposed to help!"

Piccolo grumbled and moaned, trying to get back to his meditation. As he went into his state of calm something that Bulma had said rushed into his mind. 'I started liking him again' rang through his head and he was thrown from his meditation. She likes Son Goku? Piccolo thought, these people and their emotions make me sick. Goku and Bulma liked each other and they didn't know, but Piccolo didn't want to do anything for he wasn't sure how they were going to act. So Piccolo continued to sit and meditate, though he couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.

Bulma knew that it had been a mistake to talk to Piccolo, but who else was she supposed to talk to? She didn't know where Lunch was, so she couldn't talk to her, and besides, even if she did know where she was it had been many long years since they had seen each other and it would possibly be a little awkward if Bulma just burst in unannounced and said "I like Goku again, what should I do?"

Bulma felt a cry coming on and she groaned, hating what these stupid emotions did to her. She wanted to get to her room before she cried, but she couldn't help but let a few tears fall as she walked, and as she turned a corner she came face to face with Goku.

"Hi, Goku," Bulma said as she quickly wiped the tears from her eyes using her long sleeves.

"Hey Bulma," Goku said cheerfully, but then his voice became soft as he noticed Bulma's red eyes, "You been crying?"

"No."

"Come on, Bulma, you can't lie to me," Goku said with his trademark grin.

"Okay, I was crying," Bulma said with a slight smile.

"About what?"

"I don't want to talk about it; it'll just make me cry more."

"Alright," Goku said, but he wasn't about to give up spending time with Bulma, "You wanna come watch a movie with me?"

"Sure, what did you have in mind?" Bulma asked with sniff.

"I don't know, whatever's on I guess."

Bulma just laughed and the two walked together until they entered the living room where the big TV was at. Goku sat down on the couch, resting his arm on the armrest and Bulma sat next to him. Goku smiled as he got an idea, he told Bulma to pick the movie while he went into the kitchen. Bulma picked up the remote and began to skim through the movie channels. She finally found a movie that she thought sounded interesting, but it was a comedy, a romantic comedy, and she wasn't sure how well a romantic movie would affect her even though it was funny. Several minutes passed and still Goku didn't come back. Bulma wondered what was taking him so long, but she soon smelled buttery popcorn and knew what had kept the saiyan.

Goku entered the room with a large bowl of popcorn and a roll of paper towels, knowing that buttered popcorn can get really messy. So Bulma started the movie and they watched it, and damn it all, the first scene was a romantic scene between the main guy character and his current girlfriend. Immediately Bulma's eyes began to tear up and Goku heard her quite sniffs. He looked down at her and she tried to look away, but Goku just let out a small laugh and put his arm around her. Bulma looked up at her friend and smiled, Goku smiled back, bringing a hand up to wipe away some of the girl's excess tears. The gesture only spawned more tears to well up in the girl's eyes.

So this is what it feels like to truly be loved, Bulma thought, though it was a fleeting idea, for the two were just friends. How she longed to feel this way in the arms of someone she cared about, but she didn't know if Goku felt the same way that she felt about him. She wanted to ask him how he felt but she didn't want to do it so soon, especially during the movie.

By the end of the movie, the main guy character got with the main girl character, and it worked out perfectly because they had been friends for so long. Bulma and Goku, mostly Goku, had finished the popcorn bowl and were now intent upon the last few scenes of the movie. Bulma was cuddled up next to Goku, her head resting on his chest as she watched the movie. The last scene of the movie was the couple finally getting married. Bulma started to cry again, and Goku laughed.

"What's wrong with you today?" he asked.

Bulma sniffed, "I don't want to talk about it, Goku. I already told you that."

"Bulma, you gotta tell me, you've been sitting here crying on and off, now, please, tell me what's wrong?"

"Yamcha and I," Bulma paused to take a breath, "broke up…"

"What?" Goku asked in shock, "When did this happen?"

"The night of the party."

"Oh, man, I'm so sorry," Goku brought Bulma in for a soft hug, "If I would have known I would have come to talk to you."

"I would have talked to you, but I thought you were upset about me interfering with those girls."

Goku pulled away slightly and looked at Bulma questioningly, "Those girls?"

"The ones flirting with you at the party?"

Goku blushed, "They were flirting with me? Man, am I glad you got rid of them, then."

Bulma looked at Goku with dumbfounded expression on her face, "You mean all this time, and you still don't know when a girl likes you?"

Goku laughed nervously, a hand scratching the back of his head, "I guess not."

Bulma looked at him and whispered, "I guess not."

Something about Bulma's tone caught Goku off guard. Why was she saying it like that? He looked at her and saw that she looked a little peeved

"What's wrong now?" Goku asked loudly, wondering what he had done wrong.

"You don't know when a girl likes you!"

"And?"

Bulma growled and grabbed Goku by the front of the shirt and glared at him hard. Her expression softened and she leaned her head forward and pressed her lips against Goku's lips. At first Goku was shocked, but then he brought his arms up and wrapped them around the blue haired woman. Goku kissed back with as much passion as Bulma and the girl was surprised at how well the saiyan kissed.

Bulma pulled away and smiled at Goku lovingly, "Son Goku, you are a really good kisser."

Goku gave her a sly smile, "I've been told." Then the two locked lips again, finally giving into their feelings for each other, and, ironically, at the same moment the newlywed couple in the movie kissed.

A/N: XD I'm so excited that I got this one done, I hope it wasn't too early for you folks. I hope that last scene was good, cuz I seriously tried to think romantically about it -_- So please review and tell me how I did ^_^
