Chapter 6: Jealousy

Don't own dbz


Picking up where I left off last time, What King Vegeta was referring to is that Bulma will not be strong enough to win the pageant. Vegeta has to choose five females (any race) that he thinks will make a good queen and they will compete in something saiyans call a pageant. Vegeta has already chosen four females before the death of Freiza, which he based on strength alone. He has made his fifth and final choice, Bulma, which he based on beauty and intelligence. The only problem is he hasn't told Bulma yet.

Vegeta was in his room later that day at the palace. Getting ready for the celebration his father had planned, he then came out of the bathroom after showering with a towel around his waist. Thinking about what happened with him and Bulma he didn't notice someone creeping up on him."I can't wait to see her tonight." he thought as some one came feeling on him from the behind. "So how did you find my room this time?" he sweetly asked, thinking it was Bulma. "Vegeta, don't be silly I've always known where your room has been." a voice said. Vegeta quickly spun around to face Tomora, his number one choice for the pageant, being that she is the most strongest female on the planet. He didn't really like her too much, she was just a good lay when ever he needed one.


"I should have known, your hands are no where near soft as hers." he said.

"Don't tell me you mistook me for that blue haired weakling that I heard about."

"Get your damn hands off me, and get the hell out of my room." he yelled.

"I'll leave, but before I go, I just want you to know, there's no way she's going to win the pageant, if she's your final choice. You might as well declare me as the winner right now." she said leaving his room closing the doors behind her.

"I'll make sure Bulma wins even if I have to train her myself, besides what am I worried about she'll probably win the whole thing with her beauty." Vegeta thought as started to get dressed for the party. He then finished putting his armor on and headed straight for Bulma's to tell her about the pageant that he didn't mention on their way to Vegetasei.


"Am I beautiful or what?" Bulma said, looking at herself in the mirror.
She was wearing a shimmering blue dress that hugged her perfect figure and pumps to match, complementing her long aqua hair and big blue eyes.

"I'd say 'what'." Vegeta answered coming to her room and closing the door behind him.

"Oh hey, I wasn't expecting you so soon." she said walking towards him to give him a kiss.

"I didn't plan on coming this early either, but there's something I need to tell you before we go out to the party." he said after accepting her sweet kiss.

"You sound serious, what is it that you have to tell me?" she asked walking over to her bed to have a seat.

"First I must ask you, Would you like to be the next queen of Vegetasei?"

"I don't know, we haven't even been together that long for me to make that decision just yet."

"I will give you all the time you need, but first let me tell you there is a pageant that you will compete in, if you want to become my queen, of course. I have already chosen four out of five candidates, you will be my fifth choice if you agree."

"And why are you just telling me this?" she asked, now standing up with her hands on her hips tapping her foot.

"Maybe because I forgot."

"YOU FORGOT! How could you forget that you have four other women and I have to compete against them to have you, that's part of the reason I wanted to leave my home because of scum like you!" she yelled.

"ONE, don't ever compare me to that weakling ex-boyfriend of yours! TWO, the others don't mean anything to me, I just chose them because I had to, because THREE, it is a saiyan tradition! If you don't want to do it, that's fine with me!"

"You really want me to be your queen?" Bulma asked, after she calmed down a little.

"Of course I do."

"Fine, then I'll do it!" she said running to hug him.

"Now we have a party to get to, but be on the look out because those other four will be there, and they will be steamed that I have chosen you to be my final candidate."


When they reached the ball room the party was already in progress. Kakarrot and Chi-Chi were already there having a good time. The two guards at the door saluted Vegeta as he walked past them with Bulma locked on to one of his arms. When they entered the room, the guests began to murmur and the females were all filled with jealousy. "What's wrong with everybody." Chi-Chi asked Kakarrot as they were standing at the punch bowl.

"Oh, their just jealous that Prince Vegeta has obviously chosen Bulma as the final candidate for the pageant." Kakkarot answered.

"What pageant?"

"It's when five females, the prince's choice, compete to see who will become the next queen."

"Well, I hope Bulma knows what she's doing."

Vegeta then walked Bulma to the punch bowl where Chi-Chi and Kakarrot were. "I have to go have a word with my father, I'll be back shortly. Come along Kakarrot!" he said, leaving her to talk with Chi-Chi.

"Hey Chich, how's it been going so far."

"So far I love it here, and how's about you, I heard you have to compete in some pageant."

"Yeah, that's was when I agreed shortly after almost ripping Vegeta's head off."

"So do you know what you'll be doing, I don't think it's like any pageant back on our planet."

"You know what, I didn't even ask, maybe I shouldn't have agreed so soon." Bulma said noticing two saiyan females and two other females that were not saiyan, coming her way. They were very built and they all had on armor, Bulma and Chi-Chi were the only females in dresses out of all the females in the ball room.

"Well looky what we have here." Tomora said, obviously the leader of the group. "I hope you know that you don't stand a chance against us in the pageant, I don't know why Vegeta even wasted his time."

"Listen bitch, I don't know who the hell you think you are, but you better get out my face before dump this bowl of punch down that tacky outfit of yours!" Bulma yelled.

"I'd like to see you try!" Tomora replied.

"Hey here comes Prince Vegeta!" one of the other girls yelled.

"You better be lucky you little weakling, hell, after I become queen I'll probably let Vegeta keep you as one of his many whores!" she finished. Chi-Chi was holding Bulma back when Vegeta and Kakarrot made their way over there. By that time they had reached them, they already made a scene and everyone was watching.

"Tomora, what the hell is wrong with you! You know good and well you'll be disqualified if you lay a finger on her!" Vegeta yelled.

"I'm sorry my prince." she apologized.

"Now get the hell out of my sight, all of you!" he yelled, the four females then turned and left the party, everyone returned to whatever activity they were doing. He then turned to face a very angry Bulma.

"They must have been the ones I'll be up against, right?" she asked.

"That's them." Vegeta replied, "Are you sure you still want to do this?" he asked.

"Are you kidding, I gonna show that bitch!" exclaimed Bulma, "And by the way what exactly are we going to be doing?" she then added.

"There are four categories that you will be competing in: Beauty and Intelligence, which those two will not be a problem, and then there's Strength and Speed, we might have to work on those two."he said.

"So when is this little competition?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Two weeks from today, that should give Bulma enough time to train with me."

"You don't need to train me, I can do this on my own. Besides I want to let that bitch know she was beat by a weakling. My intelligence will win the whole thing I don't need to train." Bulma said.

"All right if you say so." he said. "Come with me, I'd like for you to meet some people." he added, taking her arm and pulling her to a crowd of people.

"Boy, that Bulma is a really tough woman for her size." Kakarrot said.



"This is Bardock, he is very brilliant, unlike his goofy son Kakarrot, he will be working with you at Capsule Corps." Vegeta said introducing some friends to Bulma.

"Pleased to meet you." she said to Bardock. "I'm looking forward to working with you."

"Likewise." he said.

"This is Radditz, also related to Kakarrot, they're brothers. Nappa, Brolli, Turles,..."

Vegeta lead Bulma all around the whole ballroom until she met everyone. The party was soon over and he walked her back to her room afterwards.
"I'm sorry little one I can't stay with you tonight I have to take of some business, maybe tomorrow night, okay." He said, then kissed Bulma goodnight. "And I wouldn't worry about that Tomora to much, she's just trying to revenge her mother, because she lost to my mother years ago." he said walking out the door.

"Wait!" Bulma called after Vegeta. "Where is the queen anyway?"

"She died many years ago when I was just a child, one of the many victims that died by Frieza's hands."

"I'm sorry."

"That's okay." he said. "Sweet dreams." he said closing the door. On his way to the King's, Vegeta ran into Tomora. "She was very lucky you came to her aid tonight, you know. I promised her you could keep her as a one of your whores after I become queen or maybe I'll let my brother Brolli have her to satisfy his needs. That's all she's probably good for anyway."

"Enough!" Vegeta said, gripping her by the throat and pushing her against the wall. "Why do you say these things, when you know I could kill you for it!" he yelled. "You just better behave or I'll be forced to kill you before you even get the chance to be humiliated at the pageant." he said, dropping her to the floor and started to walk off.
