Bulma regained her confidence when she saw Vegeta smirk, she hated that look and she wanted to wipe it off his patronizing little face.
"So what are you going to do Vegeta? Blast me? Oh yeah cos that's your answer to everything!" she was moving around the table's circumference in the opposite direction to Vegeta, desperately trying to keep that one obstacle between herself and the smirking instrument of her doom.
"Blast you?" Vegeta spoke suddenly "why of course not woman, where's the fun in simply letting you off the hook like that?"
Bulma gulped, he was planning something worse than death? 'Great, just great' she thought.
"So… what are you going to do?" she said, trying to maintain her posture and to appear unafraid, although her trembling limbs betrayed her.
Vegeta laughed and darted towards her, she ran out of the door with Vegeta in pursuit, she didn't get very far, naturally, before she felt her feet leave the ground and Vegeta's arms wrapped tightly around her waist. She screamed as loud as she could, hoping Vegeta would reach up to cover his ears and drop her while the fall would still be survivable. No such luck
"Woman, if you don't stop that, I can be up as high as your pitiful human aero planes in a second flat and drop you from there!"
Bulma immediately quieted
'Damn! What am I going to do now? I'm going to die! And everything was going so well as well! I thought he liked me for sure, but now he's going to kill me!'
'Hmmm, what shall I do to the woman first? I'll have to be careful not to kill her before I've had some fun with her…'
No, you'll have to be careful not to hurt the woman you LOVE said a voice in his head
'Shut up! Who asked you?' Vegeta suppressed this voice and continued on, higher into the air. When he was high enough up he had an idea
"So you don't like it up here woman?" he said to the struggling form in his arms
"Of course I don't!"
"Well then, maybe I should put you down?"
"What??? Vegeta nooooo…." Bulma screamed as he watched her plummet toward the
forest below.
'I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!' Bulma chanted over and over in her head, as if it was a way of distracting herself from the rapidly approaching forest floor. She shut her eyes tight noting how fast the air rushed past her and trying to guess when she would hit the ground. She opened an eye to check how close it was only to find that she had seconds left at most. She screamed louder.
'That should be enough' thought Vegeta and dived toward the ground himself
Bulma never hit the ground
'What happened? Am I dead yet?' a sadistic laugh sounded from above her, close to her ear and she looked up to find herself in Vegeta's arms, no more than a meter from the floor. She exploded
"You put the fear of death into me you big stupid monkey! What I did was never this bad! Put me down and leave me alone, you've had your fun!!!"
"Ah but that was only the beginning woman!" he chuckled as he raised her even higher in the sky before promptly dropping her again and again, each time catching her closer to the ground until she eventually stopped screaming and sat stiff in his arms, as if constantly bracing herself for the impact that would shatter every bone in her body
"Had enough?"
"Yes" Bulma said meekly, her eyes wide and terrified
"Ok, now to kame house…"
"What?" Bulma was in a daze still, but she was sure he just said he was taking her to master roshi's place.
"You heard me woman, to complete my revenge, you must experience the same shame as I have!"
"I don't understand" Bulma said softly
"You will!" he laughed and continued to fly as fast as her body could handle
It took around 15 minutes to fly to kame house, the other side of the world practically. During the flight they were both completely silent, Bulma trying to regain total consciousness while obviously in shock, and Vegeta finding difficulty trying to stop the smirk on his face from breaking into a genuine smile of amusement.
Soon, they hovered over master roshi's roof
"Now, woman, to finish this you must go inside and tell everyone that you are an ugly, stupid idiot with terrible taste in clothes, a huge ass and an unbelievably foul mouth!"
Bulma snapped out of her stupefied state
"You want me to what???" She roared, "You've got to be kidding! No way am I going to say that forget it!!!"
"Well I could always drop you a few more times if you'd prefer, bare in mind that if you don't do this then I may not be in the mood to catch you!"
Bulma felt his grip gradually loosen
"Ok, ok! I'll do it" she was utterly defeated
Vegeta put her down gently outside that house and watched smugly as she walked through the door.
'I can listen from here, that woman's voice is so obnoxious I could hear it a mile away!'
Bulma walked through the door to find master roshi sitting down for a meal in front of the television with oolong, chaotsu, tien and the turtle. The aerobics show that they loved to watch had just come on and tien and chaotsu appeared to be in the middle of a psychic sparring match, all were completely oblivious to everything around them
'This'll be a piece of cake' she thought ' there's no way that they'll stop what they're doing to listen to me!'
"Erm guys?" she said
"Hey Bulma" they all managed to mutter semi-coherently, while their attention was obviously still elsewhere. Bulma continued
"I just dropped by to tell you that I'm an ugly, stupid idiot with a foul mouth, bad taste in clothes and… oh yeah I have a fat ass!"
Just as she'd hoped none of them even looked up
"That's nice Bulma, so how's things?" said oolong still mesmerized by the girls in spandex
"Oh fine, but that's really all I came to say so I'll go and
leave you to it now! Ok you guys?"
"Hm? Leaving? Oh ok see ya around Bulma!" said master roshi
"Bye!" said Bulma as she left the house, trying to look devastated so that Vegeta would think he'd had his revenge. Vegeta, who had been listening in, was a little disapointed
'Hmm, that did not have exactly the effect I'd desired, ah well no matter, they'll all realize what just happened soon enough!'
"Come on woman, time for you to get back to doing whatever
you do with your utterly pointless life"
"ok" Bulma tried to sound upset
And with that they flew off back to capsule corp. where Goku was standing in the kitchen, stroking stripe with a confused look on his face.
"Hi Goku!" said Bulma cheerily as Vegeta grunted and headed off back to the gravity chamber, displeased with how quickly the woman had recovered.
"I suppose you wondered where we had gone," said Bulma
"No not really, I was just trying to remember where you keep your cutlery, I need a spoon for the ice cream!"
Bulma smacked herself on the forehead and showed him to the cutlery draw, took the cat from him and went to take a nap on the couch; all that screaming tired her out.
