I didn't invent these characters

I didn't invent these characters. Dragon Ball Z is obviously not owned by myself or anyone else I know personally.

Note: My apologizes if this really bugs you. I know, I know, it's horribly corny and just for the record: I really never imagine Vegita like this at all. (This entire story is based on a screwed up dream I had.)

"I do not believe you! I mean, I swear, you have the biggest ego in the universe!" Bulma shouted furiously back at Vegita.

"You knew what you were getting yourself into when you invited me to stay." Vegita replied.

"Fine then. LEAVE!" Bulma yelled, "GET THE FUCK OUT!"

"Fine then, woman!" Vegita snapped, getting up.

Bulma merely stared at him furiously.

Vegita turned, obviously reluctant to 'get the fuck out'.

"I still don't know what I did this time." He muttered sulkily.

Bulma made a noise of profound aggravation and glared at him.

A suddenly obvious fact suddenly came into light for Vegita: He was a prince, and she was a woman, a complete bitch too. But really, how the hell did she manage to push people around so much? Maybe because…because – Vegita stopped mid-thought, appalled at himself.

"I'm waiting for you to leave, how come you're not leaving?" She demanded through gritted teeth.

"Fine then!" Vegita said again, indignant. "I'm leaving, see! Are you watching me? I am leaving, now!"

"No…you're not." Bulma had a very peculiar expression on her face, then after a second she said, "alright, I've changed my mind, you can stay…but only if you stay out of sight for the next few hours."

"I don't see any problem with that," Vegita said, realizing that all women were completely screwed up in their heads, and then as a last thought he added "Hey, how come you want me out of sight?"

Bulma looked him up and down, as if she was sizing him up. Vegita thought she could look—

Bulma cut into his thoughts.

"Alright Vegita, here's why, after me and—well, you know, a little after we broke up-"

Vegita rolled his eyes, couldn't she just call him by his name?

"Anyways, I've met this new guy, he's really sweet…and I don't want you hanging around like an asshole and giving him the wrong impression," she finished in a hurry.

"Fine whatever, I just better not be able to you two when you start fu-"

"Vegita! He's interested in my mind, not my body…honestly." Bulma snapped, turning very slightly scarlet.

"Riiight, sure…"

Bulma looked about to say something of the utmost contempt when three bangs were issued from the door. Bulma gave little squeal, dashed to a mirror down the hall and ran a quick hand through her hair.

"I've never heard you make such a disgusting sound in my life, woman, he must be pretty special," Vegita said loudly, turning in the opposite direction, but still catching a show of Bulma frantically yanking her neckline down and straightening her bra.

Vegita slammed the gravity room door and started doing one-armed push ups. He wondered vaguely if he'd ever get a woman to make that sound …hopefully not if she was anything like Bulma.

After about forty-five minutes, Vegita heard what sounded a lot like dishes breaking. There was some incoherent yelling…Vegita thought he heard Bulma say his name, but that made no sense, so he dismissed it as paranoia.

The shouting got more heated sounding, though Vegita still had no idea of what they were saying. Poor bugger, Vegita pitied the man outside who was obviously getting thrashed out beyond an inch of his life.

And then the yelling stopped.

Vegita stopped doing push-ups, got up and opened gravity room door and poked his head out. No front door had been slammed, as far as he could tell something very weird was happening.

For a moment, no sound. And then Vegita heard what sounded very much like muffled screams.

"He's interested in my mind, not my body…honestly."

The truth of the situation hit Vegita like a load of bricks.

"Hey, woman!"

--No answer. Vegita hurried to the bed door and tried to open it. It was locked. He took a few steps back, hoped to god he wasn't mistaken in what he was about to do –and rammed the door down with his shoulder.

Vegita himself had seen thousands of innocents be put to death, but for one of the few times in his life, the scene in front of his face made him feel utterly sick.

"YOU BASTARD!" He yelled at a blue-eyed man who was sitting stalk still his chair, his fly half way zipped.

The blinds to the room were drawn and it looked like everything breakable in the room was lying in pieces on the floor. The bed covers had been torn off and in the far corner, hugging her shaking self in a thin sheet was Bulma.

Vegita took one look at Bulma and suddenly had no idea what to do. But, seeing as he had to do something about this horrible thing, he reached over to the man and started punching him as hard as he dared.

And then Bulma started crying. Vegita was so shocked he dropped the man, who now had a broken nose, and simply stared at her, this did not seem real.

The man stumbled to his feet and tore out of the room. Vegita was about to go after him when Bulma cried, "don't leave me alone! Please, Vegita!"

Vegita heard the front door slam. "I'm sorry…" he started, but she held up a hand for him to stop.

"No, don't apologize for anything, you were right, I was…stupid." Bulma laid her head against her tucked up knees and tried to sigh, only she started to cry again. Vegita noticed a bruise rising on her temple; and again, it didn't seem real.

How could this happen to Bulma? Bulma wasn't supposed to do this!

"I should've…Oh, if I'd only…it's my fault, he probably thought that I-I"

Vegita sat down beside her and was about to say something contradictory when she started talking again.

"What's wrong with me! Why can't I have a decent relationship? I mean…"Bulma blew her nose on the edge of the sheet, "Vegita, you're a guy, what's wrong with me?"

Vegita opened his mouth and was about to say 'you're a bitch'…but it donned on him that he really didn't mind it that much. She wasn't a warrior, but somehow…somehow he could see unbelievable resilience and courage.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with you…You're not missing any arms or legs, I don't think you have any fatal diseases…maybe a few hurts right now but—"

"That's not what I meant…"

"I know it wasn't. And I also know what happened was not your fault. You get me, Bulma? I think you're really smart – too smart for a lot of guys…they probably don't see that. They just see a loud, irritating know-it-all, at best. I suppose mostly they might not even see that much if all they want is sex," Vegita stopped, and suddenly shut his mouth. What on earth was he saying?
