A few weeks had gone by and Buruma couldn't stop talking about Rex. And to her amazement Videl and Juuhachi were quite bored with it. She couldn't understand it, she thought he was great, how could they not see it? Her friends talked to her all the time about how fast he was moving in on her. But she did have to admit that he was kind of moving a bit too fast. She didn't care though, she loved him and he loved her, right?
It was the morning of the day before their Sadie Hawkins dance and Buruma was trying to find her friends. She bumped into Videl and Gohan first.
"Hi Videl, have you asked Gohan yet?" Gohan got an inquisitive look on his face.
"Huh? Ask me what?"
"I guess you didn't then. Hey why do you ask him now."
"uh ok," she turned to Gohan, "Gohan would like to go the Sadie Hawkins dance with me?"
"What's that?" He tilted his head to the side and blinked his eyes. Videl melted aww he's sooo cute!
"It's a dance, everybody's going to be there. So what do ya say?"
"Sure, it sounds like fun." Gohan nodded.
"Good then I'll get the tickets today at lunch. Bye Buruma." Videl left with Gohan to their next class which was English for him and TA for her.
Buruma walked to her next class and found Juuhachi by the stairs.
"Hey Juuhachi!" Buruma waved.
"Hi Buruma!" Juuhachi waved back.
"So are you taking Kuririn to the Sadie Hawkins dance?"
"Oh yeah I asked him yesterday, Are you going to take Rex?"
"Oh my gosh I completely forgot to ask him and I already have the tickets! I better go ask him." Buruma left Juuhachi at the stairs and hurried to Rex's class.
"Bye." Juuhachi said after her, shaking her head. Buruma reached Rex's class before the bell rang; he was surprised to see her.
"Hi Buruma what are you doing here?"
"Well I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the Sadie Hawkins dance with me."
"Of course I'll go with you! You know I would."
"Yeah I know, I just wanted to make sure. Well I gotta go, see you at lunch?"
"Yep, see you then." They kissed and parted Buruma went to her class and Rex turned back to his buddies.
"Wow she's hot." Said one of his friends.
"Yep and she's all mine." Rex said.
"What about all your other girlfriends?" said another one of his friends.
"She is not going to find out about that, now is she?" he glared at his friends, they all shook their heads in fear. Unbeknownst to them Vegeta was in his class and he heard the whole thing. Vegeta started to growl. Rex and his buddies heard the growl and turned to Vegeta.
"Did you just growl at me, freak?" His buddies laughed at Vegeta.
"Freak." Rex's right hand man said. They all burst out laughing. Until they heard a squeak coming from Rex's mouth.
"Put me down you freak!" He couldn't quite say it, so it came out as a squeak. Vegeta had him by the neck and Rex's friends started hitting Vegeta and yelling at him to put their friend down.
"Listen here Rex, you hurt Buruma and you'll have to answer to me." Vegeta said menacingly into Rex's ear. Rex's eyes opened so wide that it looked like they were going to pop out. Vegeta dropped him and went back to his seat. Just then the teacher came in and started the lesson. Rex glared in Vegeta's direction rubbing his neck.
It was the evening of the dance and Buruma was rushing about her house looking for her shoes. The doorbell rang and Buruma "eeked". Her mom came from the bottom floor to see if she was ready to go.
"Buruma? You ready? Rex's is here."
"Ok, mom, I'll be down in a minute!" Her mom went back down and told Rex to make himself comfortable and that she'll be down in a few minutes. Meanwhile her dad was giving him the take 'care of my daughter other wise death would be in the air' speech. Rex said he'd bring her back before midnight. Buruma came down unknown to them with a whole different outfit because she couldn't find the shoes that went with her other outfit.
"Wow, you're so beautiful." Her dad glared at him.
"Can't you say that without having to use a conjunction? Maybe it would have more meaning if you said 'You are so beautiful'." Buruma rolled her eyes.
"Dad, jeez, give him a break," she turned to Rex. "Sorry, Rex. Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah." He said, kind of reluctantly. They walked out of the house to Rex's car and got in. He drove them to the dance and when they got there the met up with Juuhachi, Kuririn, Videl, Gohan andVegeta, after much coaxing.
"Hi guys! Wow Juuhachi I like your dress and yours too Videl. Wow the guys look great too." They all said thank you, and Vegeta his normal grunt. Rex saw Vegeta and cringed, Vegeta noticed and glared at him to further prove his point.
"Let's go inside." Suggested Rex. Everyone agreed and followed Rex and Buruma into the dance. Once inside they all separated. Vegeta found an empty wall and watched everybody dance. Juuhachi and Kuririn went out in the middle of the dance floor and started to swing dance. A circle started to form around them. Videl was teaching Gohan how to dance on the sidelines. He was having fun, he yelled out to Vegeta as they passed him.
"Look Vegeta I'm dancing! This is so fun! You gotta try it!" Vegeta gave him a disgusted look and went back to watching the dancing. He scanned the room and found everybody but Buruma and Rex.
While everyone was dancing Rex told Buruma to follow him. He led her outside to his car.
"Rex what are we doing?" Asked Buruma
"I'm going to take you to this really cool place. It looks over the city, it's really pretty."
"Really? Umok." For the ride up there she became really quiet.
Vegeta scanned the room again but he still couldn't find them. He looked for Kuririn and found him near the punch bowl.
"Kuririn, that girl Buruma, she's not here and neither is Rex." Kuririn dropped his cup.
"Are you sure? They have to be here."
"No they are not here."
"Juuhachi, I think we have a problem." Juuhachi turned to face Kuririn from talking with another friend.
"Huh? A problem? What is it?"
"Vegeta says that he can't find Buruma and Rex."
"They probably went to go make out somewhere."
"No, Juuhachi you don't understand. I over heard Rex talking with his friends; he's got other girlfriends." Vegeta said and sneered.
"Oh my gosh, he's cheating on Buruma. Is he going to take advantage of her?"
"We don't know, but it's a good thing that Vegeta was keeping an eye on her." Kuririn said.
"I'll go get Videl and Gohan." Juuhachi left and went hunting for Videl.
"Vegeta why don't you fly and look for them, come with me to the car and I'll give you a walkie-talkie. Yes I keep them in my car. Don't look at me like that." He led Vegeta to his car and gave him a walkie-talkie. "Call us when you spot them." Vegeta nodded his head and took off into the black sky.
Rex had stopped the car on top of the near by hill and turned it off. Buruma got out of the car and went over to the edge. Rex followed her.
"Wow it is pretty, look you an see our school from here." She pointed to the brightly-lit football field.
"Yep and so are you." He got close to her and kissed her neck.
"What are you doing? Let me enjoy the scenery." She pushed him off. He shrugged and went back to the car.
"It's getting cold, why don't you come back to the car and we'll enjoy the scenery from there." He said before he got into the car. Buruma shivered and ran to the car where Rex had it heated. Rex leaned over and kissed her cheek and Buruma kissed him back. They started to make out, or so she thought.
Vegeta was flying over the Hill when he caught a glimpse of a car. So he went down to investigate. When he landed he heard a scream.
"Get off of me Rex, you Jerk!" The name confirmed Vegeta's suspicions; he called Kuririn on the walkie-talkie and told him where he was. Buruma spotted Vegeta out of the window.
"Vegeta? Vegeta help me!" She was desperately trying to fend off Rex. Rex looked up.
"(Insert bad word here)!" Before Rex knew it he was being pulled out of the car and hurled into a tree. Rex went unconscious, then Kuririn, Juuhachi, Videl and Gohan arrived. Videl rushed to Buruma's side.
"Buruma are you ok? Oh I'm so sorry that we didn't warn you before." She hugged Buruma, who started to cry. Juuhachi went over to where Rex was laying face down in the mud.
"Ooo, can I kick him?" Gohan was conferring with Kuririn; he was quite confused. Vegeta nodded and ok to Juuhachi. She turned and kicked him right in the stomach.
"Bastard, you should have listened to me." She kicked him again and he groaned. They left him for dead and took Buruma home. Her parents were wondering why she was home so early. Juuhachi told them all that had happened, but she asked them if they could refrain from talking to her until she was ready. They obliged and said thank you to Vegeta. He grunted and left for Kuririn's house. Videl spent the night with Buruma to make sure she was ok. Buruma was fine but she would get her revenge on Rex and he would be sorry he ever knew her.
Well what did you all think? I got rid of Rex, and Vegeta is now in the picture, Yea!
Don't forget to review. And thanx to all who did.
Tune in next time with Buruma!
