Playing the Role
By Maria

Bulma began to get nervous just standing there staring at Vegeta, especially since he looked so calm. 'The way he's looking at me it makes me think he has some kind of plan working in his mind. Aahh! It's driving me nuts...but I won't be the one to turn away. I have some respect and it's about time he notices that.'
'Silly girl...making me play this foolish game with her. I have important training to do...but I can't with her in here.' Vegeta crossed his arms and deepen the frown in his face. "How long are you going to stand there staring at me?"
"I'm waiting for you to look away first Vegeta!" Bulma told him.
Vegeta uncrossed his arms and walked closer to her. Bulma panicked and stepped back and fell on the floor. "There you looked away. Be gone now."
"ARGH! That isn't fair! You cheated! Vegeta...you're such a jerk." Bulma walked out angry. 'Arrogant prince...hope he trips.' She turns to look at the training pod. 'Well I did hit him...' Walks inside her house.

'That silly girl was thinking I was playing along with her silly game...*smirks* Well I'd never tell her that I was enjoying it.' Vegeta proceeds to sit on the floor of the training pod.

~~~~~~Aerobic Gym Class~~~~~

"Yeah come on everyone! Hands up...down to your sides.....back up! Alright! You're all looking great!" the pretty instructor of the class encouraged everyone in the class.
Yamcha stared up at her grinning like a fool. 'This is a lot more fun then I could ever imagine!' He turned to look at Amber who winked at him. Yamcha blushed. 'Hmm...I should of done this a long time ago....there's no need to be training when I could be in this class surrounded by lots of cute girls. They're cuter than Bulma...better not let Bulma know I said that.'
"Having fun Yamcha?" Amber asks him as she twirled and lifted her arms.
"Huh? Yeah I am having a lot of fun!" Yamcha laughed.
"*giggles* I could tell...you're not following the instructor any more...we're finished with the what you're doing." she giggles again.
Yamcha looks around and notices everyone would spin and then raise their arms and kick their legs. He turned bright red as he saw he was the only one raising and dropping his arms. "Heh...guess I really got into the action!" he stopped what he was doing and focused on the instructions.
"It's alright! How about going for something to eat afterwards Yamcha?" Amber asked him.
"Yeah! I have nothing else to do!" Yamcha grinned and Amber smiled at him.

~~~~~Lab~~~~~

Bulma looks around the laboratory. 'Hmmm...no sign of my father. Great I can go back to work on that machine and have me and Vegeta back to normal in no time at all.'
She walks over to her machine and grabs her tools and opens up the machine and gets to work.

~~~~~Outside the Training Pod~~~~~

'Can't train so I'll go get something to eat. Then...then I don't know what I'll be doing.' Vegeta fumed. 'This is no way for the prince of saiyans to live. Trapped in a female body...unable to train...and second best amongst the saiyans.'
Vegeta walked into the kitchen and sat down on the table thinking. Bulma's mother walks in and sees Bulma(Vegeta). "Oh Bulma, hi. Would you like me to make you something to eat? How about one of the delicious cakes I just got?"
Bulma(Vegeta) looks up at her and grunts.
Bulma's mother looks confused. "Well I'm going to be watering my flowers if you change your mind." She walks back out of the kitchen.
Just then Yamcha walks into the kitchen. "Oh! Hi....Bulma!! Heh heh...I didn't know you were in here. I thought you had some work to do. I just came to...uh...grab a few things! Want to go to the movies again tomorrow night??" Yamcha looked really nervous.
Bulma(Vegeta) looked up at him. 'Was is this Earthling up to...' He narrows his eyes at Yamcha.
'Oh man...I think she knows I'm up to something....' Yamcha smiles and gives Bulma kiss.
Bulma(Vegeta) vaulted out of his chair and glared at Yamcha. "What the hell do you think you're doing!! Don't kiss me! You stupid Earthling!" Bulma(Vegeta) walks over to the sink and starts washing his mouth off. 'That's it...I'm going to kill him...I don't care what that girl has to say about it...'
Vegeta(Bulma) walks in at that moment. "Hey Veg...girl!" Looks over at Yamcha. "Did you make me anything to eat yet!"
"Vegeta, don't be ordering my girl around." Yamcha said walking over to Bulma(Vegeta) and wrapping his arms around his waist. Bulma(Vegeta)'s cheeks turned pink.
"Get your hands off me..."he whispered into Yamcha's ear. Yamcha stared at her confused but let go.
Vegeta(Bulma) glared at Bulma(Vegeta) 'You're going to get it Vegeta...you think I don't know what you're whispering to him....grrrr...'
"Well I have to go babe. Like I said I need to pick up a few things. See you later." Yamcha leaned down to give her another kiss but stopped when he saw the glare aimed at him. "Um..yeah..well talk to you later." Yamcha walked by glaring at Vegeta(Bulma).
Once he was out the door and out of sight Bulma exploded. "What do you think you're doing Vegeta!! Look at what you've done!"
Vegeta sat back down and stared up at Bulma. "He kissed me...so I did what was best for me. Hmhp...you don't honestly care for that weak Earthling do you? You're wasting your time with him." Vegeta stated calmly.
Bulma stared at him confused. 'What's gotten into him...' "Why is it any of your business my feelings toward Yamcha?? I think you're jealous! *smiles* Yes that's what it is...you want to have a beautiful and smart girl like myself with her arms around you! Ha ha ha...well I'm sorry Vegeta...but you're not my type."
Vegeta stood up and glared at her. "I am not jealous. I do not care for females of the weakest forms. You are no prize to be walking around with." Vegeta said walking off.
"You get back here! I won't allow insults from you!" Bulma chased after him.

~~~~~Outside~~~~~

"Got everything Yamcha?" Amber asks him smiling widely.
Yamcha grins. "Yep all here in my pack. Come on lets go!" Yamcha jumps into his car.
Bulma and Vegeta come out side as the car starts up. Bulma looks over at the car, momentarily stopping her threats and insults, to see who was there. She was shocked to see Yamcha and some girl in the car taking off. Vegeta was also staring at the car.
Bulma stood still staring at the car disappear down the street. Vegeta turned to look at her.
'What's going on....' Bulma could feel pain inside. She notices Vegeta staring at her with a slight smirk. 'Arrogant jerk...' She felt tears stinging her eyes. "Oh that Yamcha!! He's going to pay for doing this to me!! And you're coming with me Vegeta! This is your fault after all!!"
"What this isn't my fault! You're the one who's not attractive enough!" Vegeta said and was met with a fist in the stomach.
"If you don't keep your mouth shout..."Bulma stops as she remembers that she just hit herself and not Vegeta. "Just be quiet Vegeta" She drags him inside the house to get her keys.

~~~~~~Movie Theatre~~~~~~

Yamcha was standing in the concession line with Amber talking, when Bulma pulls up near Yamcha's car. 'Thought you could escape me did you Yamcha? Well...I won't let you. I'll find out who this girl is and what you're up to!' Bulma sits there with a sad look for a moment when she remembers Vegeta is in the car with her and they have to go inside. "Let's go Vegeta."
"Who said I'm going to go into this Earthling building with you. I am a prince and will do no such thing." Vegeta crossed his arms and sat back.
"You'll do what I say or I'll never fix that machine!" Bulma yelled at him.
"*glares* Then you'll be stuck in my body as well..." Vegeta pointed out.
"It won't bother me as much as it will you..." Bulma grinned. "How else will you surpass Goku in my body...my "Earthling" body??"
Vegeta frowned and got out of the car. 'Stupid girl...'
Bulma jumps out of the car and grabs Vegeta's arm. "Let's go."
Vegeta grunts and pulls away from Bulma. "Don't get your hands all over me."
They walk inside the movie theatre and look around for Yamcha and his date. Bulma(Vegeta) spots them going into the theatre area. "They went inside...already. Let's go." He tries to get out the door.
"Not so fast Vegeta...we'll going to go and watch the movie." Vegeta(Bulma) drags him to the ticket stand and buys two tickets to "Life In Paradise". They go into the sitting area and Vegeta(Bulma) looks around for Yamcha. 'Where are you...you darn two timing jerk!' She spots him in the middle aisles. "Come on they're right over there, Vegeta."
Bulma(Vegeta) frowns and follows her. They sit two rows behind Yamcha and his date. The movie starts and Vegeta(Bulma) sits there watching Yamcha and the girl. Bulma(Vegeta) sits there frowning, until he turns to the movie and starts to get into it. 'For an Earthling thing...it sure is amusing to watch. Was this the movie the weakling brought me to on that one date...I should of paid more attention.'
After half the movie Vegeta(Bulma) slowly started creeping under the chairs of the theatre to get closer to Yamcha so she could hear what Yamcha and his date were talking about through out the most of the movie. Bulma(Vegeta) didn't notice her crawling on the floor.
'Ridiculous guy...he thinks he knows what that girl wants! Ha ha...she doesn't want you to tell her that...idiot.' he smirks and watches as the girl in the movie slaps the guy for saying something stupid. 'Ha ha ha...these Earthling movies are entertaining. I'll have to watch more of them.'
Vegeta(Bulma) was under the chairs right behind Yamcha. Lucky for her there weren't that many people in this theatre so she didn't have to bump into too many feet. She listened closely.
"So she yells at you!" the girl says.
"Yeah. She calls me a lot of terrible things, but it doesn't bother me. She wasn't all that great of a girlfriend anyways." Yamcha said calmly. "Well not like you Amber..." The girl giggled and lay her head on his shoulder. Vegeta(Bulma) fumed for a long moment pushing her tears away. She started to crawl back to her chair. Where she found Vegeta laughing at the movie.
'Atleast someone is enjoying the night.' She sat quietly through out the remainder of the movie. She watched as Yamcha stood up and took hold of Amber's hand and they walked out hand in hand. Most of the people had exited the theatre when Vegeta(Bulma) stood up.
"Earthlings are too emotional." Vegeta says.
"Will you stop making comments about me!" Bulma yells tears about ready to fall out of her eyes.
Vegeta stares up at her calmly and with a hint of sympathy. "I was talking about the movie, Bulma." He gets up and keeps watching her fighting off the tears. He looked around nervously. 'Just my luck to be stuck with a crying girl...' He puts a hand on her shoulder not know what else to do. Bulma looks up at him surprised.
"You know...that's the first time you called me by my name Vegeta..." she smiled at him.
Vegeta looked away and grunts. "Don't get use to it..." he walks past her to the aisle. "Well you plan to stand here in the empty theatre all night?" He says to her. Bulma smiles at him again and waks over to him.
"Of course not. I need to get to work on that machine so I can get back into my body and then kick Yamcha's butt!!" She says smiling.
Vegeta looks at her and smiles. 'Good idea...'
