Buruma woke the next morning feeling like she accomplished a great task, she was really happy for herself. She now knew that she could put things together with the instructions being in a different language. She remembered that she was suppose to call Juuhachi, so she rolled out of bed, grabbed her phone and sat down on her desk chair with her feet propped up on the desk.
Ring! Ring!
"Hello? Juuhachi speaking."
"Hi Juuhachi! We, meaning Videl and I, want to know if you want to do something on this lovely Saturday."
"My are we in a good mood."
"Yeah, I just put something together when the instructions were in Saiyajin!"
"Saiyajin? You were over at Kuririn's?"
"Yeah, It was kind of an emergency at midnight. Besides Kuririn was basically asleep the whole time."
"Oh, umsure I would love to do something."
"Ok, meet us at Kuririn's house at around one, k?"
"Ok, see you then. Bye."
"Bye."

Buruma placed the phone back in its cradle and went to her closet. She saw the button on her closet and was reminded of Rex. She growled at herself and continued to wreak havoc on her closet. Today she would find someone else to fill the void that Rex left behind. She finally picked out an outfit and took a shower. Afterwards she admired herself in the mirror. She was beautiful, smart, and had a perfect body, Why didn't anyone like her? In fact why didn't anybody love her? She got kind of jealous of Videl and Juuhachi, but she knew that some day she would find her true love. She still was kind of depressed though as she pulled up to Kuririn's house a little while later. Kuririn, who was taking out the trash, greeted her.
"Hi Buruma! Everyone is inside, trying peacefully to decide where to go."
"Ok." Buruma ventured inside and went to the living room where everyone was gathered.
"I think we should go roller blading!" Videl chimed in. Juuhachi scrunched her face up and shook her head along with the two Saiyajins. Videl frowned and sat back on the couch next to the now healed Gohan.
"Wow, Gohan your arm healed up real well!" Buruma went over and examined his arm. It was perfect and not a scratch could be seen. He smiled.
"Yep the tank you built works! I felt I could do a thousand laps around this house after I got out."
"Cool, so where do you guys want to go?" Everyone sighed and shrugged their shoulders. Buruma sat down next to Juuhachi and began to think. Hey it was a beautiful day maybe they could go to the pier, and have some ice cream. It sounded good to her so she asked her friends.
"Maybe we could go to the pier and have some ice cream?" The guys eyes lit up and they all nodded their heads. Videl and Juuhachi agreed also, they then decided that they would go in different cars. Buruma would take her car along with Vegeta, Videl had planned it that way, and Juuhachi, Kuririn, Gohan, and Videl would take the Cookie Mobile, that Juuhachi's Grandmother lent her for the day. They all arrived at the beach at relatively the same time. The sun was high and it was a gorgeous day so Buruma parked a little ways from the ice cream shop so she could walk and enjoy the sun. Vegeta, of course was not happy, but went along anyway just to make sure she didn't get mugged. They walked along the strand and admired the beach houses along the way.
"Wow that one it's really big!" Buruma exclaimed.
"Hmph," Vegeta had no comment as usual, but that didn't stop Buruma from talking.
"If you had a choice which house would you live in?" Buruma asked. Vegeta rolled his eyes. He pointed at a vacant lot.
"That one." He said not even looking at it.
"But that one has no house on it. Come on choose one."
"I choose that one," pointing to the same vacant lot. "So I can build a house there, better than all the rest." Buruma was surprised at his direct answer, but she liked it. They made their way to the ice cream shop on the pier without having too much trouble with the bikers and all the people staring at Vegeta's hair. When they arrived at the shop and everyone had already gotten ice cream.
"Thanks for waiting for us." Buruma stated with her hand on her hip and scowling at her friends. They said that they were sorry and gave the excuse that Gohan was hungry. Buruma looked over at him and saw five scoops of ice cream on a cone in his hand; he was desperately trying to lick all the sides at once before it melted. Buruma asked Vegeta what he wanted and went inside to order. Everyone was staring at Vegeta, watching him look after Buruma. The girls smiled and the guys looked nervously around.
"So, Vegeta what are you looking at?" Inquired Videl.
"Yeah what are you looking at?" Juuhachi restated.
"None of your business." Vegeta glared at Gohan for revealing his secret to Videl, and now he knew that Juuhachi knew.
"Oh, come on we know you were staring at Buruma. You like her don't you?" Videl stated.
"I said it was none of your business." A growl escaped from his mouth. Gohan looked nervously at his girlfriend.
"UhVidel, please don't" But Videl interrupted him.
"So, what do you think Juuhachi? How are we going to get them together?"
"I don't know" At about that time Vegeta had enough of them.
"What do you mean you are going to help me? I am the Prince of all Saiyajins, do you think I can't do anything by myself?" Videl and Juuhachi looked smugly at each other their plan worked, reverse psychology. Buruma came out of the shop and found herself being dragged away by Vegeta.
"Come on we're leaving."
"We are?" she asked. She looked at Videl and Juuhachi they smiled at her and waved her goodbye. She gave them a puzzled look and followed Vegeta out to the end of the pier.
"Vegeta what are we doing?" He took the cone that Buruma handed him and swallowed it in one gulp. She carefully licked the sides of hers.
"Don't you want to see the sunset?"
"The sunset? That won't be for another couple of hours"
"Oh, then we could stare at the fish?"
"The fish?" Buruma knew that he was desperately trying to figure out something to do since they had left their group. She smiled, went over to a bench and sat down. She patted the seat next to her to indicate that she wanted Vegeta to sit there next to her. He sat down but very stiffly, they sat there for an hour. Vegeta had relaxed but he was still kind of mentally hitting himself for getting into this mess. Was it a mess? Why did he want to sit closer to her? He sighed and scooted over a bit. Buruma was looking out on the ocean and didn't see Vegeta moving closer. She turned to ask him a question, but jumped at how close he was, in fact his face was right there next to hers.
"Whoa, uh hi." Her voice squeaked.
"Hi, what are you looking at?" He looked out over the horizon and couldn't determine what she was looking at.
"I thought I saw some dolphins over there." She pointed towards the front of where they were siting.
"Oh, do you want to see them close up?" Buruma nodded her head and felt herself lift up as Vegeta carried her over the rail and out above the sea. She was feeling so free that she forgot what they were doing and the sudden descend of Vegeta's flying made a scream pass through her lips. He stopped and looked down at her with a somewhat worried expression, though you couldn't tell very well.
"I'm fine, continue please." He nodded and continued down ward to the surface of the ocean. Sure enough there were dolphins! Vegeta held her above the surface. A dolphin spotted them and looked at them with it's little beady eye, Buruma reached out and touched the dolphins fin. It jerked back down ward and a few moments later it jumped out of the water and got them wet. As soon as it touched the water again it raced off, when it found out that they weren't racing with it, it turned around and squealed at them to race. Buruma looked after it.
"So, are we going to race or not?" Vegeta smirked and race off towards the dolphin. It's squeal of delight match Buruma's squeal of delight as they raced off into the setting sun.
It was dark as they headed back home. Buruma was asleep in Vegeta's arms as he carried her to her car. He set her down gently feeling as though he was going to break her.
"Vegeta?" Buruma rubbed her eyes, stretched and yawned.
"She looks so beautiful" Vegeta couldn't help thinking.
"Vegeta?" Buruma asked again, she was wondering if she should poke him to make sure he was alive.
"Huh? Wha?" Vegeta said dreamily.
"Um we should be going." She stated flatly as if nothing happened. She couldn't believe that they spent that entire time together and not one kiss.
"Oh yeah we should, let's go." He hopped in the passenger seat. Buruma went around to the other side and sat in the driver's seat. She started the car and they drove home.
Will Buruma get her first kiss? Will Vegeta's dad come? How will Vegeta react to Buruma now? Tune in next time with Buruma!
