As the night wore on Bulma found herself enjoying the company of her friends. She hadn't seen them in such a long time. Yamcha, Tien and Chou Tsu had already gone.

Vegeta was still leaning against the tree facing everyone and watching with his face so cold and stern. She yawned and stretched.
"I think I'm going to head home." She said. She stood up slowly. Goku beamed at her.
"Okay Bulma." He said. He stood up too and hugged her. She grinned.
"Stay in touch Goku." She said.
"Sure Bulma." He said "And keep your eye on Vegeta." He added in a whisper.

She went to the shuttle and climbed inside. Vegeta was waiting for her. She started the engine and took off.
"You didn't tell them." He said quietly. His voice was not unkind.
"I'll tell them." She said.

Vegeta went up to his room straight away. She lay down in her own bed for a while but could not sleep. She wanted to share his bed. She climbed out of bed and slipped upstairs. She opened his door slightly and he was lying there with his arms folded behind his head. He was awake. His eyes flicked towards her. He didn't say anything. She opened the door and without a word slid under the covers beside him. She rested her head on his chest and sighed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep and so did she.

Vegeta woke in the middle of the night. He hadn't had a bad dream in a long time. Not since before the woman had started sharing his bed. She was lying there so peacefully.

He had grown soft. He needed to train. He stared down her sleeping form and frowned. It was painful to leave her but he justified it by saying he would be able to protect her better as a Supersaiyan; Even though it was a blatant lie. He slid out of the bed and dressed himself. He climbed to the window and looked back once before flying out into the night.

Bulma woke in the morning and stretched. She took a deep breath in and realised Vegeta wasn't there. She didn't think much of it until she realised she couldn't hear the shower or the gravity machine. She sat bolt upright.
She got out of his bed and checked every room in the house. He was gone. She sat down on the stairs in her night gown. She became enraged. She went down to her lab and began to work. She should have known he would have left her. She felt stupid for thinking he had feelings for her. The next time she saw she would beat the crap out of him.
