Bulma could not believe that Yamcha had thrown the beautiful charm bracelet into the pond. And Vegeta was going to be here any minute. He had given the bracelet to her years ago, but he always smiled-truly smiled-when she wore it. "I guess I'll have to dive in and get it," she thought.
Peeling off her clothes, revealing a small bikini underneath, she turned to jump into the pond. A voice stopped her. "Hey babe, I thought we weren't going to swim until after we ate."
Bulma froze in her tracks. "Umm, hi Vegeta," she said, turning around to face him. Almost immediately he noticed her tear-stained face. He lifted a gloved hand to caress her cheek.
"What's wrong hon?" he asked, genuinely concerned. "Is that ex-boyfriend of yours still bothering you?"
"I hate him, I hate him, I HATE HIM," said Bulma. She started to cry again.
She whimpered into silence as Vegeta held her close to him. "Whatever he did, I swear Bulma, he'll pay. NOBODY makes you cry like that. Nobody makes you cry at all. Nobody. What did he do?"
"H-he threw my favorite bracelet into the pond," she said between sobs. "It was the silver charm bracelet you gave me for my birthday. He said 'just see how long your marriage lasts now." She hugged Vegeta tightly.
"Don't worry, I'll get it out for you," said Vegeta. "Now dry up those tears and finish getting your tasty food ready while I fetch it, 'k. I'll be back in a flash."
