Chapter 3: Wake Up Call

Vegeta shot awake from his horrible dream, making his oxygen mask fly off his face. Finally realizing where he was, he quickly lied his head back again, then he noticed Bulma peacefully sleeping on his desk. What is she doing here? he thought. What do I care? Why am I here? I thought I told that woman that I was fine! I'm wasting time in here. I need to train! Vegeta started to slowly sit up, but when he moved he accidentally woke up Bulma. As she fluttered her eyes open, she noticed him trying desperately to get up, so stood up and tried pushed him back down, but Vegeta immediately resisted and stood up anyway, despite Bulma's attempts to make him lie down.

"Vegeta, you need to rest." Bulma said, frighteningly soft.

"I am fine, woman. I do not need to rest at all. I need to train." He argued.

Bulma didn't know what to do. She knew about Vegeta's rapid temper problem, and that he was totally stuck on being stronger than Goku and becoming a Super Saiyan. She thought about telling him that the gravity machine was broken and that he couldn't train anyway, but she remembered that she had told him they had a second gravity machine already. She thought about threatening him, but she knew it wouldn't work. I'll just keep fighting him...

"No, you need to rest."

"No I don't. I feel fine, woman."

What am I going to do? I can't let him go train, he's in no condition to train. What if he hurts himself? What if he has another accident? Bulma's mind was racing with these thoughts, she was going crazy trying to think of something convincing to say, but when she couldn't come up with anything good, she just blurted out exactly what she felt.

"You CANNOT train!! You'll get hurt, and that's the last thing I want!! I don't ever want to see you hurt like that again, Vegeta! I couldn't handle it if you died!!" she blurted. When she realized what she just said, just turned 50,000 shades of red, blue, and purple. (Not literally.) Vegeta couldn't believe what she just said either. He never knew she felt that way. And though he'd never admit it to anyone, he felt the same way about her. Over the year at Capsule Corp., he had begun to actually 'like' Bulma, but never paid any attention to the newly found emotion, because he considered it a distraction. After the period of intense silence and shock, Vegeta proceeded to stand up and start walking towards the door, but Bulma pressed her soft hands on his bare and bandaged chest.

"No. Your not going." Unconsciously Bulma's hands slid down around his waist, and she laid her head on his chest. She figured to go to Plan B: Seducing.

"You'll get hurt..." she whispered prettily. Plan B seemed to be working on Vegeta. Damn that stupid woman, why did she have to do this to me? Why not that pathetic human, Yamucha? She's such a distraction! Thinking that her plan wasn't working, Bulma decided to turn this up a notch. Besides, she wasn't doing this ONLY to try to get Vegeta to rest, she was doing this because she liked him, and she was enjoying the look of confusion and frustration of the Prince's face.

"Please..." She whispered in his ear, then snaked her thin arms around his neck. Vegeta was dangerously close to giving into her. Then he realized he had unconsciously wrapped his strong arms around her small waist. When he realized this, he quickly pulled them away, and gently pushed her back, looking into her perfect sapphire eyes. When he looked into them, he completely forgot what he was going to say, forgot he was going to say anything, and failed to notice Bulma leaning forward... He finally realized she was leaning forward when her face was millimeters from his face, but even though he noticed this, he didn't back away this time. Instead he let her kiss him, and then Bulma put her arms around his neck again when she felt Vegeta kissing her back. Bulma was loving this, and wasn't going to take it for granted. She felt Vegeta's arms snake around her waist, pulling her forward. When Bulma decided to make this kiss a French, he pulled back slowly. Abruptly he realized what just happen, and jerked back so fast Bulma almost fell. After taking one last quick look at her, he walked out of the room, and walked down the hall to his bedroom to rest like that stupid woman insisted.

Bulma was still sinking in the whole unlikely scene, and when she finally got her composure back, she smiled to herself and thought mischievously, He'll be back...

That's the end of Chapter Three. (Don't these titles suck?) Well I posted Chapter Four, so go to it already!!
