I BARELY RECIEVED ANY REVIEWS FOR 12&13. WERE THEY REALLY THAT BAD? IF SO TELL ME AND ILL STOP BUGGING YOU GUYS.
OKAY, THIS IF FOR SILVER STAR THANK YOU VERY MUCH =) THIS SERIES HAS THE ANDROIDS IN IT; BUT THEY HAVEN'T FOUGHT THE ZGANG YET. THAT'S WHY VEGETA IS TRAINING. IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS THE SHOW I GUESS, ONLY BULMA HAS NEVER MET ANY OF THE ZFIGHTERS, SHE DOESN'T HAVE PARENTS ANY MORE, CLAIRESSE IS HER 'FRIEND', AND VEGETA STAYS WITH GOKU AND CHICHI.
FOURTEEN (President Briefs)
Four days later
"I feel like a fool." Goku whined as he adjusted his bunny costume (I couldn't resist, he's just too cute =).
"You must be a fool for coming here in that while you still have breath left in your body." Vegeta stated.
"Why couldn't I have gotten a cool costume like yours?"
Vegeta ignored Goku as he observed the other guests. He was looking devilishly handsome (as usual) as a pirate (am I the only one who thinks he would be a very good looking pirate? Read Harial's latest story if you agree with me. It's good. Tell her I sent you =). He had deliberately hidden his hair beneath his black, plumed hat (With a dark blue feather) using lots of mousse. He was wearing black boots, black breeches, a partially opened navy blue (pirate) shirt (I have no idea what this would be called), half of a black mask, that covered his face above his fake moustache and tied at the nape of his neck, and a long navy blue coat.
Chichi had ordered him to act exactly opposite of what was natural for him. Vegeta decided to obey, *The abrasive woman and her simpleton mate have been acting strangely for the last few days. I think they're losing their minds...it's not as if they had much to lose anyway. * Vegeta thought smirking.
Goku stealthily made his way to the door, unnoticed by Vegeta who made sure his mask was securely in place as he made his way over to a group of young women dressed as fairies or ballerinas. Vegeta wasn't sure which, and he really didn't care. He was determined to forget that b*tch, Bulma, and have a good time. (This is what Vegeta is thinking, not my opinion.)
He made a sweeping bow before one of the girls; "May I have this dance?" He asked the petite mermaid with the red hair, and seashell bra thing (I don't know what's it's called! Gr. I need to work on my vocabulary) and a shimmery tail.
She had been in the middle of all the girls (she was their 'leader') and she was surprised to see such a handsome young man ask her to dance *I don't recognize his voice. Who could he be? * She thought holding a hand out to the pirate. The pirate was very light on his feet and by the end of the song the mermaid was feeling a little dizzy. The pirate politely kissed her hand before leaving her. *What a man! * The mermaid thought, dazed.
Vegeta rolled his eyes as soon as he turned his back on the woman. If it hadn't been for his superior upbringing, he would never have been able to stomach her. *Beautiful, but a total moron. * He thought annoyed.
A short woman dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz caught his arm, "Vegeta, what are you doing here all alone?" Vegeta scowled as he recognized the woman's voice and said nothing.
Clairesse smiled, "Great party, don't you think? There are some great people here. You need to go see some."
"How did you know it was me?" Vegeta demanded.
"That sweetheart, Goku, told me just before he left. He said you could fly home or something. Well I have got to go. Bye now."
Vegeta shook his head after Clairesse, *That woman is so annoying. * Bored, Vegeta began to fiddle with his costume until he realized what he was doing here. He was trying to forget that woman. *Easier said than done. * He thought as he made his way over to the refreshment table, searching for a worthy dance partner. He didn't immediately see any, but as he drank his Pepsi (there's a cute picture of Veggie drinking Pepsi out there somewhere. Anybody have it?), a flash of blue hair almost caused him to choke. His eyes locked on a beautiful shapely woman with long blue hair. The woman was wearing a gypsy costume. *Bulma? * Vegeta moved to the other side of the room, forgetting that he was disguised. He roved that side of the room for a partner; someone, anyone, to take his mind off of Bulma in her gypsy costume. His eyes suddenly stopped on the most beautiful woman he had ever seen *Bulma is nothing compared to her. * Vegeta thought, feeling guilty, until he shook it off. The woman had pale skin, and sea green eyes that matched perfectly amber hair. Vegeta wasn't the only one who noticed her. Several of the men in the room were equally shocked at her beauty.
Vegeta forced a friendly smile on his face as he walked over to the woman and bowed graciously. The woman smiled at him and hid her masked face with a lacy red fan, "I'd be delighted to dance with you, sir." she said in a light, airy voice.
Vegeta took her right hand in his left; the woman put her left hand on Vegeta's shoulder while Vegeta put his right around her waist. "What is your name?" Vegeta asked the woman curious.
"Shame on you sir!" The woman laughed merrily, "You know that's against the rules. You'll have to wait until midnight like everybody else."
Vegeta smirked. To him this was a challenge and he was ready for any challenge the brunette beauty might pull. The woman intrigued him and he felt a charge of exhilaration while he was with her.
The woman was wearing a dress straight out of the 1700's. It was rich, deep red brocade, embroidered with flower patterns in an even deeper red silk. The full gathered skirt belled out over five red lace underskirts and the bodice was off the shoulder with puffed sleeves cut provocatively low. Accompanied by a dark red velvet lined cloak with paler red silk, long red gloves, and kid slippers, the effect was stunning to say the least, and Vegeta was surprised he hadn't seen her earlier.
"I made this dress myself." The woman said proudly, "Do you like it?"
Vegeta grit his teeth and made himself say it, "It is very beautiful, but nowhere near as beautiful as you."
Red (as we will now call her) blushed and tried to hide her embarrassment by changing the topic, "Where did you get your delightful pirate costume?"
Vegeta searched his mind frantically for an answer; "A woman put it together for me."
"Your wife?" Red asked curiously.
"Kami no!" Vegeta almost yelled, feeling sick from imagining ever being mated with Chichi (the one who put his costume together. Vegeta's so mean to Chichi, but I love him anyway=).
"I presume by the tone of your voice that you object to marriage."
Vegeta snorted, "Somewhat. I can't stand the idea of having to stay in one place with the same person for such a long time.
"You remind me of somebody I knew a long time ago." Red said softly.
Before Vegeta could ask whom, Clairesse walked up to the couple. "Ah! My two favorite people. How are you guys?" she asked curiously.
"Great." Red answered cheerfully. Vegeta made a noncommittal noise that Clairesse took positively.
"Good. Fifteen minutes until unmasking." She left to go tell the next couple.
"You know her too?" Red asked.
"I guess you could say that." Vegeta admitted reluctantly.
"Can we stop dancing for a while? I'm dead tired." Red begged. Red followed Vegeta, and the two stood near a nearly empty table of guests.
"Do you see that woman over there? I love her hair." Red said pointing to a laughing woman sitting with a group of women crowded around her.
Vegeta followed her gaze. *Bulma. *He thought uneasily. He nodded in answer to Red's question.
"It's the most beautiful shade of blue." She sighed.
Vegeta was furious with himself. There was Bulma at least ten feet away from him and he should have been having trouble taking his eyes off of the blue haired/blue eyed beauty, but instead he was enthralled by this brunette goddess with the sea green eyes. At that same moment, Vegeta realized he was perfectly content here with Red. *I'm finally over that stupid woman. *He thought relieved.
Red jumped as Claire's voice boomed from the speakers. "There are six minutes until the unmasking. As a family tradition, couples at masquerade balls are supposed to see if they can--well, they have to kiss each other for a certain amount of time. Whoever lasts the longest is the first to unmask, guests of honor, and the first to be seated. Everybody ready? I'll give you guys one minute to get with the partner of your choice." Clairesse beckoned to a frontiersman, Dane, and temporarily turned off her microphone.
Red gulped nervously, "I guess...we're a couple?"
"I guess." Vegeta said, sounding bored but feeling that this was his lucky day. "Prepare yourself woman." he told her, smiling rakishly (he's so cute =).
Red blushed and giggled as she leaned in closer to Vegeta.
"Ready? Set...Go!" Claire yelled.
******************
The blue haired woman was with out a partner for some reason. *These guys don't know what they're missing. *She thought angrily. One man caught her eye in particular; a roguish looking pirate in black and navy blue. She observed his chiseled nose and defiant chin, which were strangely familiar. *No! It can't be! *She thought horrified.
******************
A.N.: THIS IS PRETTY GRAPHIC SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS KIND OF STUFF, JUST GO ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER!
Red was overwhelmingly curious to know what it'd be like to kiss this man. She soon found out, almost swooning in his fiery embrace. She closed her eyes in rapture, *Oh my Kami! I could learn to love this man. *
********
Vegeta's eyes had flown open in shock; kissing Red was nothing like kissing Bulma had been. *This feels very right. * Vegeta frowned unconsciously as the thought came into his head. He closed his eyes concentrating on his task, *But of course, what else could you expect from a professional like me? *
*********
*Five minutes is a long time to be kissed. * Red thought savoring Vegeta's lips, and allowing herself to drift along the river of pleasure. The sweetness filled her and drew her to him as he kissed her with an urgency they both felt, and all her worries melted away. *If I were to run out of air now, this would be the sweetest death * (I know cheesy) she thought melting against Vegeta and kissing him back with the same intense passion.
