Why Me Ch. 11 Valentine Part 1
"So do you understand?" King Vegeta smiled at his son
"Yes but I have just one question?" Vegeta stated to his father
"Yes my son" The King said beaming his way
"Yeah um what the hell is a Valentine's Day?" Vegeta said getting a very confused look on his face.
"VEGETA WERE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION TO ME?" King Vegeta yelled at his son
"Hell no what child in their right mind today would listen to their parents?" Vegeta flatly replied
"You know one of these days that comment is going to bite you in the ass one day when you're a parent and I'm just going to do what grandparents do best sit back and enjoy our child's torment with their kids. If we see the grandchild slacking up in the torment we spoil them even more to make them even more tormenting." King Vegeta said with a smile.
"How do you know that's what grandparents do?" Vegeta said curiously
"Oh I know that's what they do it's exactly what your grandpa did to me before he died. He made you into the most spoiled and obnoxious brat this world has ever seen and you still are." The king said chuckling as Vegeta simmered in anger across the table behind dirty plates that once had tons of food but now doesn't even have a crumb thanks to Vegeta's appetite.
"Fine I get your point now tell me again what this Valentines Day is and what I needed to get Bulma again." Vegeta said grumpily noticing the smile on his father's face then knowing suddenly what error he made to make him smile
"I mean the woman…" Vegeta said quickly trying to cover up him saying her name
"You must really like her! Oh I'm so happy for you Vegeta and I can't wait to have some grandchildren to spoil! If they look anything like her they'll be the cutest grandchildren in all of Vegeta-sei!" King Vegeta said happily
"HEY! Let's not jump the gun here we aren't even married yet! Don't go thinking about grandchildren so soon old man I don't plan on having any until the day comes I really need and heir to the throne. Also what is this with them looking like her that they'll be cute?" Vegeta yelled blushing
"Ooooh did I just hear a they in your sentence? Did mine ears deceive me or did my son actually refer to children as in more than one child? So son how many were you thinking on having with Miss Bulma?" King Vegeta grinned ear to ear watching his son boil and turning red from blushing and burning in anger.
"You know you're very lucky that the only way for me to be King is if you give the crown to me in the traditional ceremony or there would be funeral very soon." Vegeta said solemnly towards his father.
"So 5 kids right?" His father grinned ear to ear again looking at his son getting redder by the second
"You'll be lucky if there will even be a grandchild in your future if you don't shut up now stop getting on my nerves and explain that Valentine's Day crap!" Vegeta yelled thoroughly annoyed
"Fine now it's in two days from now so here's what you need to do…" King Vegeta started to tell Vegeta what he needed to do and get for Bulma on Valentines Day and also how he needed to behave on that day especially.
Meanwhile in Bulma's room…
"Oh Chi I can't wait till Valentine's Day! I hope Yamcha likes the card I made him!" Bulma said happily hugging the big Valentine she made.
"Bulma you know it won't be able to mean anything I mean what about Vegeta wouldn't he get mad?" Chi said helping Goku with Goku nodding furiously at the comment
"Oh please it's a forced marriage not an oh I'm so in love marriage he probably hates me more than I hate him and that's saying a lot." Bulma said forgetting of the word reversal she had used against Vegeta in their last conversation.
"Bulma I think Vegeta really likes you besides I've gotten him to admit it so there ya go." Goku said grinning.
"Okay… So you are saying to give up on someone I truly care about and start caring about an egotistical bastard?" Bulma glared at Goku
"Come on Bulma he's not that bad yes he acts like a jerk all the time but once you get to know him it's all really just for show. He doesn't know how to treat women because he's never been around them that much so of course he's going to do what he's most comfortable doing around women and that's being his jerky showy self." Goku said
"Fine I'll make him a Valentine to… HEY CHI! Look at what I found!" Bulma said looking through candy hearts
"Heh it's one of those 'I WUV U' Candy hearts so who are you going to give it to?" Chi grinned at her
"Hey Goku do you Saiyans know what 'WUV' means?" Bulma grinned widely at him
"Um no not really why?" Goku said confused
"Oh nothing really I'm just going to give it to Vegeta for him to figure out for you." Bulma said
"Oh okay Bulma" Goku smiled at her as she started making a blue and black valentine for Vegeta while Chi sniggered while making another valentine for her father.
Well the trio started working on Valentines together with the occasional telling Goku how to make a heart shape a certain way here and there.
Soon they were interrupted when a certain prince knocked then rushed in without being permitted
"Miss Bulma I… huh? Kakarrot what are you doing here?" Vegeta said annoyed seeing as they were all on top of Bulma's bed giggling and cutting out paper
"OH hi Vegeta! We were just making some valentines for Valentine's Day! Want to join us?" Goku said merrily
"Um no I don't want to join you I came here to ask Sigh Miss Bulma if she would accompany me to dinner tonight." He said blushing slightly as he bowed towards Bulma
Bulma shocked beyond all belief just sat where she is still watching him bow until Chi nudged her.
"Um I'd like to go but I'm afraid I don't have anything formal to wear for tonight." Bulma said disappointedly
"No problem I can have our tailor make something for you to wear tonight." Vegeta said looking at her getting up from his bow.
Soon came an awkward silence as Bulma began to contemplate the offer and Vegeta nervously awaited her answer.
"Okay I guess I can go with you so when will the tailor come by?" Bulma asked
"He'll be here as soon as I summon him and I will pick you up as soon as you are ready tonight well I'll see you later." Vegeta said quickly then bowing again and then quickly turning and leaving out the door
"Is it just me or was he nervous asking me out?" Bulma smiled as the others laughed at the Prince's awkward moment
No sooner had Bulma said that there was a knock on her door and after she permitted entrance it was the tailor so she had to shoo Goku out of the room while she talked to Chi and getting fitted for a nice gown to go to dinner in.
"What colors would Madam like for this evening?" The tailor said bowing before his future queen
"Um I guess Blue would be nice and how about some black trim?" Bulma said
"Sure madam it will look absolutely breath taking I assure you." And he immediately set to work and Bulma was surprised at how fast he could make the dress yet make it look as if he hadn't sloped on fabric and sewed it. Every stitch was a gentle and elegant line and soon from his fast and delicate handling she had her dress.
"Wow" Bulma said at a loss for words as Chi stared amazingly at the dress with a look that clearly stated 'I want One'
It wasn't to fancy because of the lack of time but it was still beautiful in its simplicity. A long flowing gown of sparkling blue it was a halter dress with black trim around the neck and the slit in the front and train in the back it was simple but beautiful.
Bulma absolutely loved it and saw the look in Chi's face and turned towards the tailor
"It's beautiful! You're very talented!" She said amazed
"Thank you madam I take it you find it to your taste?" he bowed
"YES! It's great but I want to ask you something?" she asked curiously
"Yes madam?" the tailor replied
"Could you make Valentines Day dresses for me and my friend over there?" he said and bowed
They heard a knock on the door then it rudely opened before anyone permitted entrance (gee wonder who it is…) and in strutted Vegeta in formal armor and cape the armor was black and gold and had the shoulder pads and his spandex suit was black and his cape was black and he looked good.
"Ah I see you are ready well shall we?" Vegeta said extending his arm so she could take.
"You know the purpose of knocking is not for walking in without permission you usually wait until someone says come in but I guess you can be thick headed every now and then." Bulma said sternly then grabbed his arm as he suppressed a snide comment then led her out the door.
"You never know I could have been naked behind that door! I swear you need more manners Vegeta." Bulma huffed
"I apologize." Vegeta strained which caught Bulma completely off guard
"You never apologize! You know I think you are up to something mister and I don't like it!" Bulma fussed at him
"Besides we're on a ship! The only place I've seen to eat around here is the cafeteria and that's not formal so you are definitely up to something!" Bulma kept on fussing at him
"That's because you've never gone to the royal dinning hall where you are supposed to eat dinner seeing as you are the future queen." Vegeta stated
"Oh…but I still think you're up to something." Bulma said sticking her tongue out at him
sigh "Can't a guy make amends and take his future bride to dinner?" Vegeta said
"I guess but it just doesn't seem like you to do this for me." Bulma said quietly
"Don't I know it." Vegeta murmured earning a "What?" from Bulma
"Nothing I was clearing my throat." Vegeta said quickly
Vegeta then guided her in through a large doorway and inside was a dimly lit room with candlelight and a huge table and on one in there were place settings and food already set for the couple.
Vegeta led her to her chair and seated her then went to his seat and sat down.
"How very gentlemanly of you" Bulma said with a smile
Vegeta only smirked back but it was a warm smirk and not his usual snide one.
Bulma looked down at her food, she didn't know what it was but it looked delicious and she couldn't wait to take a bite and when she did she looked like she could die happy it was so good. Little did she know Vegeta only sat in his seat watching her with a look of nervous anticipation as she had took her bite and instantly relaxed when he saw the look on her face.
"This is delicious! What is it?" Bulma said savoring the flavor
"It's broiled striker fish, a rare delicacy because the striker is only found in one remote area on Vegeta-Sei." Vegeta smirked proudly at her
"My compliments to the chef!" Bulma smiled and continued eating
"Why thank you" Vegeta replied then sipped his wine while smirking at the surprised look on her face
"You cooked this?" Bulma gasped unable to believe it
"Yes why it's a tradition for the male to provide a food offering to the woman he wishes to be his mate and if the female accepts the meal it brings them one step closer to marriage." Vegeta grinned at her
"WHAT? I wasn't told about this! You know darn well that I don't want to marry you then you pull this stunt on me?" Bulma yelled at him
"I'm sorry I thought that humans had a similar custom to ours besides I thought that since we are both in this marriage deal and there's no way out to just accept it." Vegeta tried to reason with her
"I don't care what your father says I won't marry someone who I don't love and that someone doesn't even love me!" Bulma stood up and walked out the door
Vegeta stared at the door for a few seconds
"Well…that went well…" Vegeta sighed and got up and went out the door in a different direction she went
"Need to go to the garden before I see her again." Vegeta said and went to the ships garden
Bulma came back to her room in a huff and saw Chi and Goku making valentines together and laughing and talking like a real couple that made tears sting around Bulmas eyes but she kept them in
"Bulma what's wrong?" Chi said immediately drawn to her friend's look of misery
"That jerk! I thought it was an apology dinner but no he tricked me! It was just another step to becoming Queen, his wife, and my heartache!" Bulma said letting tears fall freely
"I think I should go I'm not good at comforting" Goku said nervously and nodded his head towards Bulma in goodbye and left out the door quickly
"I'm so jealous of you Chi! You can be with any man you want but I'm stuck with a hard headed, egotistical jerk who will never love me." Bulma sobbed
"Bulma listen I think Vegeta cares about you more than you think he does and Goku has told us that its hard for him to admit his feelings because he's afraid what people will think of him" Chi said
"Chi I really don't think he loves…" Bulma came to a stop when a familiar knock at the door started then it went quiet.
"Come in" Bulma said and she and Chi waited for a few minutes still no one came in
"Hello? I said you could come in" Bulma said again still no answer and no one came in so she went to the door and opened it
Bulma just stared wide eyed and amazed so Chi had to go see what it was and there on the floor was a dozen flowers similar to roses only the petals were more heart shaped with a purple stem and the petals were a gorgeous bright blue with what looked like star prints sparkling on the petals.
Bulma finally picked it up and looked them over and found a note that only said 'To Bulma'
"Aw Bulma he gave you flowers now would a man who had no love interest and no compassion for you give you flowers and take the time and effort to get ones that have your favorite color and not to mention ones that I'm sure I've never seen." Chi said grinning at her
"Well I don't know but they are pretty though I guess I could forgive him after all he didn't know that I didn't know the dinner was a traditional up step to marriage" Bulma smiled and brought her flowers in followed by Chi not noticing the figure in the darkness emerge as soon as they went back in.
Vegeta stepped out of the shadows and smiled at the door where they had gone in and turned and walked down the hall
"I only wish those flowers looked half as good as you did tonight my princess" he whispered as he continued down the hall to his room
"So Bulma what kind of Valentine are you going to do for Vegeta?" Chi asked
"Well since he was so sweet to give me flowers I'll make his a sweet one with the already blue and black heart I made him I just haven't written anything in it and plus I'll even give him a box of those candy hearts." Bulma giggled and held up the 'I WUV U' candy heart which made Chi giggle to.
"So Chi what kind of card did you make Goku?" Bulma asked her
"Well I made him a little heart card with red and white paper that says 'Be Mine' and
I was thinking of making him some cookies or a valentine cake." Chi giggled
"Well I better get off to bed I've still got mom and dad's valentine to do in the morning. I'll see you tomorrow Chi when we get ready to land on Vegeta-Sei and that way we can prepare for Valentines Day all day together." Bulma said smiling at Chi who yawned and nodded her head in response
"Yeah I'm a bit tired myself I'll see you in the morning!" Chi said patting her on the back and then exiting the door.
Yawn "Boy am I bushed" Bulma said wearily but a sudden knock on the door reminded her that her night wasn't through yet
"Come in Goku" Bulma said happily as the door opened
"I was hoping you didn't forget about our arrangement" Goku said happily
"No I didn't forget that I was going to help you make a nice Valentine for Chi" Bulma smiled at him
So Bulma helped Goku make a beautiful Valentine for Chi for part of the night and when Goku left she started on Vegeta's card until she fell asleep
In the morning
King Vegeta was happy he finally got his son to listen to his plan so Bulma and Vegeta could be happy together and was strutting around the ship.
He saw Goku walking by with a little red and white box in his hand and he was eating out of it and munching merrily which peeked King Vegeta's curiosity a little.
"Hey Goku?" King Vegeta called to Goku
Goku turned and looked and immediately bowed and replied
"Yes your majesty?"
"I was wondering what you were eating and perhaps may I have some of it?" King Vegeta said looking at the box
"Oh sure they're called SweetHearts (I do not own those either) They're cute little candy hearts with Valentine sayings on them and Bulma let me have a box that she had gotten from some of the Earthling vendors." Goku said shaking some out of the box into King Vegeta's hand.
"Aw isn't that cute they do have little Valentine sayings" King Vegeta said looking at them he started to read off some of the little phrases on some he had in his hand.
"'Oh my' 'You're Hot' 'Be Mine'" King Vegeta said then felt someone's presence beside him and looked to see Vegeta standing there looking at him shocked and surprised
"Oh My God My Father Is A Freakin' Gay Perv…" Vegeta said still in shock
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" King Vegeta yelled at his son
"Father you just called Kakarot Hot and you told him to be yours you sicko" Vegeta said edging away from his father a bit
"I was reading the candy hearts!" King Vegeta yelled blushing as he realized his mistake of reading them out loud in the first place especially in that type of order.
sigh "Oh well here have one Vegeta" King Vegeta said handing one to his son and they both ate them at the same time
The look from their faces turned from happily chewing (well with Vegeta it was annoyed chewing) to utter disgust and the spit the little candies out
"WHAT THE HELL" Vegeta yelled spitting
"THIS STUFF TASTES LIKE CHALK!" King Vegeta yelled spitting along with his son
"KAKAOROTT I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN STILL BE EATING THOSE?" Vegeta yelled at Goku
"Therf Goof Fajita" said Goku talking with his mouth full
"MY NAMES NOT FAJITA IT'S VEGETA!" Vegeta yelled at him
"That's what I said Vegeta" Goku said after swallowing his mouthful
"Forget it!" Vegeta said cradling his head feeling a migraine coming on
"Why would I want to forget your name Vegeta?" Goku asked him
"Get out of my face right now before I use it as my brand new punching bag." Vegeta glared at him while King Vegeta was still trying to get the taste out of his mouth using some toothpaste that seemed to come out of nowhere and with a toothbrush no less
"Ah would you look at the time I gotta go see ya later Vegeta!" Goku said running off
"You know father he bugs the living shit out of me." Vegeta said to his father
"What now Fajita?" King Vegeta said looking over at his son who glared at him
"I hate you so much right now" Vegeta stated and walked off
"Oh come on it's a cute nickname for you!" King Vegeta snickered
"I swear you and Kakarott are out to get me and I mean mentally you guys want to see me crack and I know it! I'm on to you old man!" Vegeta pointed at him then stalked off
"Well if I wanted to see him crack I think I didn't have to wait very long" He murmured and went back to strutting around the ship until he heard them announce that they would be landing Vegeta-Sei in about 10 minutes
"Well better go see if my soon to be daughter-in-law is up so I can give her some exciting news!" he said as he strutted right down the hallway towards her room.
Bulma was just getting up when she heard the announcement for the arrival on planet Vegeta
sigh "Well I guess my wedding day comes sooner than I had hoped but I guess I'll live" she said looking at her flowers and smiling then all of a sudden there was a knock on her door and the door began to open
"Didn't I tell you that it was rude not to ask permission before entering?" Bulma yelled at the door expecting prince Vegeta to come waltzing in only to see it was King Vegeta who looked shocked
"Oh I'm sorry I guess I should have waited to see if you were up dear." King Vegeta said
"OH I thought you were Vegeta!" Bulma said surprised
"What has that boy of mine done now…" King Vegeta said holding his head
"Oh nothing lately in fact he got me some flowers and they're real pretty to!" Bulma said pointing at the flowers Vegeta had gotten her and smiling
"He got you flowers?" King Vegeta said surprised
"Yep aren't they beautiful!" Bulma said happily
King Vegeta smiled to himself thinking finally his son did something right for a change.
"Well I guess we're landing soon just wanted to tell you that our landing might be a little rough and I wanted you to be prepared…" King Vegeta started to say prepared for landing and then a wedding but he decided to put it off for a later time since she seemed in such a good mood
"I also have a surprise I'm going to make a Valentine's Day for my people on Vegeta-sei and for all its worth they need it and bad our birth rates recently has gone from top to bottom faster than the speed of light and that's not so good for our race." King Vegeta rambled on
"Aw that's sweet now young sweethearts on your planet will have a day all to themselves" Bulma swooned thinking of the most romantic day of the year
"Hello? Oh Hey King V! So what's going on in here?" Chi said peering in then waltzing in so she could talk to everyone.
"King V?" King Vegeta said confused
"Yeah it's a cute nickname and cute nicknames are a must have!" Chi said grinning broadly at him
"Oh well I guess but only you two can call me that understood?" King Vegeta coughed in his hand trying to look stately but was caught of guard when a snickering Bulma called out
"Yes Dad" She snickered some more and hugged him while he still had his eyes bugged out of his head.
"Dad?" He said confused
"Of course I'm going to be your daughter in law soon so why not call you dad?" Bulma giggled.
"Of course silly me" King Vegeta grinned at her
"Attention Everyone We Are Now Entering Vegeta-Sei Atmosphere Please Be Seated Until We Land In A Few Minutes" the intercom announced all over the ship
Everyone was anticipating not only the landing but what was going to happen next especially King Vegeta who was hoping for all he was worth that nothing would go wrong.
