We Meet Again
Chapter 11
"Wake up your majesty…please, wake up!" a female saiyan spoke loudly in Bulma's ear as she shook her to wake up.
"It's so early. Why are you waking me up so early?" Bulma spoke quietly as she rubbed her eyes open. She turned to check the clock, it was 6:00 in the morning.
"Vegeta wants you to get a early start shopping. He wants you to pick up a dress for your coronation tomorrow," the female saiyan answered.
"You know, it doesn't take me that long to pick out a dress. By the way, who are you? What is your name?" Bulma asked as she got up fully.
"You can call me Lana. Vegeta has sent me here to bring you to a boutique so you can pick out a dress. Then he wants you to begin to rehearse what you will be doing at the coronation." Lana answered as she left Bulma in her room alone to take a quick bath.

"King Vegeta, the coronation arrangements are all ready. Everything is set. The only thing that has not been confirmed yet is your mate, sire. I believe she still needs to rehearse and get her dress for the ceremony," Vegeta's other secretary named Tawny spoke to him.
"Yes, Lana is preparing that, so you don't need to worry about that. If you need anything else, just look for me in the training room," Vegeta replied and left the room.
"Wow, I guess the arrival of our new Queen Bulma is a good thing because the King doesn't seem to be in a grumpy mood lately. I'm surprise he said I can go to him if I need anything, usually he would say…"Don't bother me while I am in the training room!" Tawny spoke as she mocked Vegeta's voice.

Bulma and Lana had been going to every boutique they could find in Planet Vegeta, but still couldn't find the perfect dress for Bulma.
"Lana, I already told you that I wanted that other dress at that last store we went to. Why didn't you like it? We could've been back at the castle by now," Bulma told her as they were heading to the next store.
"No, I think we can find a much more elegant dress than that. I'm sure we will," Lana answered with a smile. "I want to make sure that you look your very best and I want to make Vegeta and everyone else in the room look at you with great astonishment and fascination once you enter and walk down the royal red carpet." She added.
Finally the two reached another boutique store and walked in. After hours and hours of pondering, Lana finally found the perfect dress for Bulma. She picked it out and made Bulma try it. It looked beautiful on her. It was a stunning long ocean blue glass beaded silk dress with a twisted white solid glass beaded collar. The slit went above her knees. Lana also got a matching pair of white glass heels to go with it. They finally purchased it and headed back to the castle.
Vegeta was right inside the main hallway when they arrived. He eyed Bulma as if something should've been different about her.
"Did you get a dress? You should have since you spent hours looking for one. I mean seriously, does it really take that long to pick out a dress. You ladies can be so…." He was cut off by Bulma.
"For your information, we took that long because we wanted to find the best dress that you would actually like. Yup, I'm trying to be a perfect mate, but yet you're still complaining. I guess we can just return this elegant dress we bought and just have myself wear a pair of jeans and a shirt to the coronation," Bulma spoke as she pretended to walk out of the door.
"Fine! It's time for you to practice for the coronation tomorrow. Lana will help you through it all and I will be watching, just incase you screw up. I want to be there to laugh at you," Vegeta replied with a smirk.
Bulma rolled her eyes and gave the things she bought to one of the servants to keep safe and clean. Then she followed Lana and Vegeta to the ceremony room.
As soon as they entered, Bulma was enthralled by the beauty of the room. There were elegant glass windows everywhere and a red carpet that led to the throne where two huge red cushioned chairs were. There were golden chairs, tables, and silverware surrounding a huge center floor for dancing. She looked above at the ceiling and found huge gold chandeliers hanging down. There were flowers everywhere and a sweet scent could be inhaled everywhere. She was astonished and speechless. She had never seen anything so beautiful before.
"Do you like what you see?" Vegeta whispered in her ear. Bulma nodded her head. She felt his arms wrap around her waist and for the first time since she had arrived in Planet Vegeta, she had felt comfort. She turned to look at Vegeta and he took his arm quickly away from her and walked away to sit in his royal chair.
Bulma turned to Lana and asked her if this whole room was already set for tomorrow. Lana answered her and told her to wait till she sees the menu. Bulma smiled, but shook the feeling off of her when she realized again what was going on.
Just don't think about it and everything will be okay. Why did I feel comfort when he put his arms around me? What is going on with me and my feelings? I don't understand myself. Am I starting to get feelings for him without even realizing it completely yet? This is so strange…but he's the one responsible for your mother's death. He's a cold-hearted King, that's all he is.
Bulma thought to herself as she looked at Vegeta again. He was looking at her with a look of confusion on his face. Bulma's thoughts were interrupted by Lana."Shall we begin?" Lana asked her politely.
"Yes." Bulma answered as they started.
Lana first asked her if she knew how to eat properly and Bulma told her that she did and that she always had to, growing in an atmosphere where she had to eat properly in front of sophisticated rich people. Then, Lana showed her how she was going to enter when they announce her name. She instructed her to walk right down the red carpet and up to the royal chair.
"Don't sit down just yet when you reach the royal chair, make sure you turn around and look at everybody. Then you have to wait as Vegeta makes a speech and gives you the crown which had belong in his family for many generations now before sitting down. Then there will be a royal toast and you will begin feasting. After the feast, there will be a dance which consist only of you and Vegeta. Then the night goes on from there," Lana explained to Bulma who was sitting next to Vegeta on the royal chair, exhausted.
"That's it?" Bulma asked surprisingly.
"Yes. Why, is there something wrong with that?" Lana asked curiously.
"No, it just seems like such an easy task. I mean that's pretty much what happens at my dad's business parties," Bulma answered.
"Just don't trip and fall while you're walking down the red carpet because I really won't be there to catch you. You'll be on your own," Vegeta finally spoke out of nowhere.
Bulma couldn't help but let out a giggle. She looked at Vegeta and smiled. He looked back at her and smirked. Lana left the room quietly and left the two alone.
"What kind of speech are you going to say anyways?" Bulma asked Vegeta suddenly.
"Who knows, whatever comes to my intelligent mind," Vegeta answered. "I'm just that talented. I don't need to make note cards or any blasted things like that." He added.
"Let's hope you don't choke on those words when the ceremony starts," Bulma answered. "Well, I'm tired. It's been a long day. I don't think I'll eat dinner tonight. Goodnight to you." She walked out of the room and headed up to the bedroom she shared with Vegeta.
She began to ponder to herself on her way there. I'm nervous about tomorrow night's coronation. What if I do trip and fall? That would be humiliating. Let's hope I don't. I suppose my life will be much more different once I am announced Queen of this planet, but I won't be for long anyways. I will go back home. I just need to play along with this perfect wife thing Vegeta has set up. Play along……or……actually go along with how I'm beginning to feel for him and if he truly feels the same way about me. Well, he would've killed me or let me go by now if he didn't truly care for me. I don't know…this is just too much for tonight. Let's see what happens tomorrow. She turned the knob of her door and walked inside the room and climbed into bed and fell right to sleep.
