Chapter 1:  Next Time (Yamcha's story)

****************************

I lie awake and I die

I try but I can't deny

That I can't make it without her

I can't forget the day

I let her slip away

*****************************

Yamcha lay awake in his apartment thinking about what happened a few days ago. 

"Bulma, I think we should see other people."

"Oh, sure you tell me this now after you have been dating three other girls behind my back." She shouted angrily.

"I, well I can explain that."

"Really.  Go ahead. Explain."

"Um…"

"Okay, whatever. Call me when you have a good excuse."

"Bulma I'm…I'm sorry."

"Call me or something later, okay Yamcha."

"Ok."  With that Bulma left Yamcha alone in his apartment.

*****************************

I'm still dreaming about her.

Can a heart forgive?

Cos I just can't live without her

The next time you see my girl

Won't you say, that I, I would die

I would die to hold her

*****************************

He couldn't shake it off.  Bulma was the best thing in his life.  He didn't know why he cheated on her so many times, it was like he was supposed to do it.  He didn't regret that he cheated on her.  He just felt bad that he made her cry.  After she left he fell into a deep sleep and dreamt about all the good times he had with her.  The first day they met, she the teenager looking for the perfect boyfriend, and him being a shy desert bandit who fell in love with her.  "Was it really love?" he asked himself.  "Or was it just what I wanted."  He would do anything to get her back.  "It's not like she'll get with anyone soon." He thought.  "She's always in that lab of hers doing work.  The only guy near her 24-7 is Vegita, and I don't see anything between them happening anytime soon.  Actually never." He said snickering to himself. 

****************************

The next time you see my girl

Won't you tell her I love her

The next time you see my girl

Maybe the next time

I walk the streets at night-

See lovers passing by

And it's all a reminder

Of what it used to be

When she was here with me.

*****************************

More memories came to him.  Just last week they were on a date.  They were walking down the streets, holding hands, laughing about silly things.  He bought her a rose.  Thinking to himself of how beautiful she looked that night.  At the restaurant they went to, they were commented on what a cute couple they were by an older couple.  She smiled at that, and hugged him tighter.  He couldn't imagine about what she was thinking of, he was too busy checking out the blonde next to them.  "She didn't seem to notice.  What's the harm in looking?" he thought.  Later they went to an ice cream shop, she sat waiting in a booth while he got the ice cream, and the phone number of the girl behind the counter.  Smiling he thought to himself, "Wow, I got her number, I hope Bulma didn't see that."  Looking towards the booth he saw her giving him a strange look.  At the table she asked what the girl had given him.  "The receipt, silly" he answered smoothly.

"Oh" she said quietly.  They ate their ice cream silently.  He knew that she knew that it wasn't a receipt.

*****************************

I only wish I could find her

Did she disappear?

Cos I'm waiting right here for her

Can a heart forgive?

Cos I just can't live without her

The next time you see my girl

Won't you say, that I, I would die

I would die to hold her

The next time you see my girl

Won't you tell her I love her

The next time you see my girl

Maybe the next time

*****************************

That's when the relationship started going downhill.  He was waiting for Bulma at the park one day, and she didn't show at the time they agreed on.  Soon he was talking with a girl he knew in the park.  His back was turned and he didn't see her until it was too late.  He was giving the girl his number, and address when he felt a tap on his shoulder.  He turned to an angry Bulma.

"What's going on?" she demanded.

"None of your business" the girl said.

"It's plenty of my business.  He's my boyfriend.  Or at least was" Bulma screamed.

"Ha ha ha… " Yamcha said nervously.  "I can explain Bulma."

"You better."

"I'll talk to you later" he said to the other girl.  When he turned back to Bulma, she was gone leaving Yamcha alone in the park.

That was all he could stand.  "I can't believe I treated her like this" he said to himself.

********************************

I close my eyes, I see her face, and I realize

But in front of me I had it all, but I set her free

So next time you see my girl

Oh won't you tell her

That I'm sorry

Tell her that I love her

*******************************

With that Yamcha shut his eyes, and with a tear falling down his face, he whispered, "I will always love you Bulma."
