CHAPTER 6- Bulma's Revenge
Disclaimer: I don't own dbz! I'm not making any money and anyone who tells you different is lying!
Before she could even answer him Goku had grabbed her arm and transported her to the gravity chamber.
"I don't know about this Kakkarot…"
"Don't worry Vegeta, Bulma said she didn't mind if we blow stuff up, she was the one who suggested we should spar…"
"Oh he did, did he?"
"Err, Vegeta Bulma's a girl…"
"Whatever!"
"Don't you wanna spar Vegeta? Are you feeling ok?"
Like lightning, Bulma's genius mind came up with the solution, and her revenge…
"Sure I'll spar with you Kakkarot, but first I thought we could have a chat"
"Well gee Vegeta you know I'm always here if you wanna talk about anything at all!"
"I know Kakkarot, that's why I need to tell you some things, I can't trust anyone else. You're the only saiya jin left…" Bulma tried her best to make Vegeta's voice sound vulnerable.
"What is it Vegeta? Is it about Bulma??"
"First we should set the gravity to about 200G so we can be training while we're talking, just standing around under that pressure should do us some good!"
"Good idea Vegeta!"
'That should be enough to keep Vegeta out of here till I've had my little talk with Goku' she suppressed an evil smirk as she watched Goku set the gravitron.
The pressure slowly rose and Bulma felt like she weighed a couple of tons.
'I've always wondered what this actually felt like, this is not so bad though, Vegeta's body must be used to worse!'
"So what d'ya need to talk about Vegeta??"
"Hang on a minute," Bulma realized what Goku had just said "what do you mean is it about Bulma? Have I ever felt the need to talk about her before?"
"Well… no. Never mind, I guess my intuition isn't very good. What did you want to talk about?" Bulma felt slightly disappointed by the lack of gossip… but carried on.
" There's just some things I wanted to get off my chest. Kind of a list of things I need to say …can you just listen to them?"
"Sure Vegeta" 'I wonder if he's going to admit to liking Bulma now?'
" First, I like kittens, small children and most of all I like you're attitude Kakkarot"
"Gee thanks Vegeta" 'did Bulma drug him or something?' Goku was starting to get quite scared…
"Second I hate being prince of the saiyajin, it's just too much pressure, from now on if people ask, you're the prince ok?"
"I don't know if I can do that for ya Vegeta that's lying!"
"Ok ok fair enough but I have made my opinion clear have I not?"
"Loud and clear Vegeta! Gosh I'm surprised I always thought you loved your title, you're always bringing it up!"
"Yes, because that is what's expected of me Kakkarot, you don't understand the pressure I'm under. Sometimes…"
"What Vegeta? Go ahead, you can tell me" Bulma made a show of being reluctant to tell him
"Sometimes I want to curl up in a little ball and cry, sometimes, all I really need is a hug…"
"Aww Vegeta don't worry I won't tell anyone, we all feel like that sometimes, and I don't think you're a sissy or anything…"
"Thank you Kakkarot" Bulma sniveled slightly before moving in for the killer blow…
"And Kakkarot?"
"Yes Vegeta?"
"I'd just like to say that coming second to you holds no shame for me, no shame at all, you are an honor to the saiyajin race!"
Goku stood in shock 'this is really quite frightening, I think maybe I liked the old Vegeta better…'
"Thanks Vegeta!" he replied
"That's ok Kakkarot, oh and by the way we have a huge tub of chocolate ice cream in the fridge if you don't feel like training anymore"
Goku stopped what he was thinking and squealed
"Yey ice cream!!!"
Bulma shut down the gravitron and Goku raced into the house
'Ah, Bulma you really are a genius' she congratulated herself all the way to the living room, were Vegeta was watching an American soap, with his face pulled into the most evil smirk Bulma's face was capable of. He turned to look at Bulma and realized, shocked that she didn't seem to have broken a sweat and his body was still entirely in tact
"Is it possible that you managed to beat Goku??"
"Nope, I just told him there was ice cream in the freezer and watched him run…"
'Damn she avoided my revenge! Ah well at least I got to watch 'as the world turns' in peace' Vegeta thought to himself
Bulma, meanwhile had decided not to let Vegeta know about her revenge just yet, it could wait till Goku brought it up in a sparring match, that way he would be twice as shocked. Bulma grinned as she could already imagine his face; he looked so cute when someone actually managed to phase him… 'Ok stop that now Bulma, honestly I do wonder about my own sanity' she concluded that some of Vegeta's self love was still hanging around in his body and influencing her thoughts… how that was possible she didn't know.
She took a seat next to Vegeta and suddenly remembered her guilt about her previous comment… 'Hmmm perhaps I should apologise for that, at least then he might not send Goku after me again tomorrow…'
"Err… v.. I mean 'Bulma'" she corrected remembering that Goku was probably still in the kitchen "about what I said to you before"
"Yes?"
'How can I apologise without him getting even more annoyed?' Bulma knew that if Goku heard Vegeta apologise to her, she really would be in trouble when he got his body back…
" I wish for you to forget that I said it, I did not mean it…"
"I get your point 'Vegeta' but stop now before you do even more damage!"
"He he he" Bulma laughed nervously. At least she'd done the right thing
'Hmmm, perhaps the woman has learned her lesson. I see no need to punish her further'
They sat in front of the TV for an hour until both were hungry, as if by magic (or incredibly good intuition) Mrs. Briefs appeared
"Are you two dears hungry?
"Yes!" they said in unison
"Ok dinner's on the stove, come into the kitchen it'll be nearly done by now…"
They followed her to the kitchen where they found Goku, on the floor clutching his stomach, with chocolate around his mouth. In his hand was a spoon and next to him was an empty ice cream vat.
"Oh my Goku, you are silly! Did you eat all that??" Mrs. briefs practically sang the words
"Yeah" he groaned
Vegeta began to feel very nervous, what with Bulma's mother and Kakkarot in the same room, his secret could be outed any second. He had to make Kakkarot leave, and fast
"Hmmm Goku sounds like you'll need a shot for the pain" he said, pleased with his own genius.
"What A SHOT? I'M OUTA HERE!"
And with that he disappeared and Vegeta and Bulma's secret was safe, for now.
Another nasty scrape avoided! What will happen next? Hmmm I wonder….
