YAY!!! FanFiction.Net is finally UP!!!!! I can finally upload this chapter that I've had done for days! Yay! Uh okay. Here's Chapter 7! And I noticed that in all my other chapters I never added a disclaimer. ^_^ So I'm adding one in THIS chapter! Heh. Well, this is the next chapter! (I already said that!) Oh, one of my reviewers (which one I forget) pointed out that I shouldn't make Bulma talk about Trunks & Pan's relationship 'cause then they'd never trust her again. I'm just letting you know that I took that into consideration and I believe you have a point. ^_^ But wouldn't it make it more fun if I had to write how they come to trust her again? Everybody loves long stories! Well I don't plan on deciding that just yet, but if you review my story please give me your opinion! Thanks!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was still in my 'thinking' attack when Trunks came down the stairs after his talk with Pan on the phone. He looked at me funny, like he was thinking, "What poison did she eat?" I had to admit I did look like I had eaten poison...I was sweating, breathing hard, and my face was all red. I quickly regained my composure fearing he'd get a hint that I was listening to their conversation. I took a deep breath and turned to Trunks.
"Hi son, are you ready for lunch?"
He looked over at me. "Mom we just ate breakfast 20 minutes ago." He said in a 'duh' tone.
"Oh...okay." I replied speechlessly, not having a good answer to that. I quickly shut up, not wanting to give him any clue that I was still having a 'guilt trip' from listening to his talk. He was usually pretty good at catching onto things. Like when I first decided to put the bathrooms, beds, and closets in the gravity room, he was the first to notice I was doing something to his favorite place in the world. I had not let anyone in there for a week and he always caught me sneaking in there. He confronted me about it four days before I said they could go back in and asked me if I was putting bathrooms in the gravity room because he'd been hearing toilets flushing from the chamber. (That was me testing them.) I had to confess that I was and that I had them done and that I just needed to clean the room itself and it would be finished and they could go back to training. When I said that he flashed away then reappeared with cleaning supplies. In his lightning speed he cleaned the whole thing in three seconds flat. Then I had to let them back in the gravity room 4 days early.
I snapped out of my daydream when I heard Bra coming down the stairs, loudly yelling if anyone knew where dad was.
"Isn't he still in the gravity room? He was still in there with you when Trunks went to answer the phone!" I answered.
She stopped midway down the stairs to think about that. Then I saw her innocent smile.
"Oh yeah. I guess I forgot when I went to go get an extra towel that he didn't leave. Thanks!" She bolted up the stairs after that.
Trunks and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. She had always had a bad memory. The only things she seemed to remember was how many days she hadn't trained (like her dad) and what days she went out with a boyfriend. Suddenly a thought shot through my brain like a bullet. Bad memory? Maybe that's why she didn't remember her talk with Vegeta. Maybe they did talk and she just didn't remember. But...they couldn't have talked more than two hours before I asked her about it. I knew she wouldn't forget a talk with her father that fast. Maybe in a month...but not two hours...I decided right then that I would ask Vegeta about the talk and demand an answer.
I stomped down the hallway and reached the chamber, then stopped, thinking about what to say. Finally I pounded the OFF button and heard a annoyed sounded when it turned off. I went in there to find Vegeta by himself training.
"Vegeta! I want to know now what you and Bra talked about yesterday!" I yelled, knowing he'd be very surprised at my greeting. I saw him lean back slightly and look at me with eyebrows raised, with that look like, 'Oh really?' I just remained the way I was. He brought his usual scowling face back to view and turned to me stiffly.
"We talked about what you told me." He stated simply.
"What did you do?" I demanded.
"Talk."
"Where?" I said louder, trying to get him to spill that he went to Kami's tower.
"Somewhere." He said, teeth gritted now.
"Okay, this is what I really want to know! Why did you go to Kami's tower yesterday?!"
He turned very quickly towards me. "Did Trunks tell you that?" He asked deeply, in a threatening tone.
"No. He didn't." I answered, knowing that he wanted to kill Trunks at the moment because the was sure that Trunks was the one who told me.
"Then who did?" He asked curiously.
"Pan did."
"Pan?" he asked like it was a new disease that he'd never heard of. "How did she know we went to Kami's tower?" Ha! So he did go to the tower, not that I didn't believe Pan, but this just confirmed it.
"She was at Korin's tower getting some beans when she saw Bra and you fly past her." I said, still in a demanding tone.
His eyes squinted. "What we did is none of your concern, Bulma. If it was I'd tell you but it's not. Now leave."
My jaw tightened. "NO Vegeta! It IS my concern, so don't get all secretive on me and tell me it's not!"
No answer. He closed his eyes as if he was debating if he was going to reply, but instead his hand went up and I felt myself being pushed backwards by an unknown wind, and the next I knew I was lying on the floor in front of the gravity chamber's door. I quickly realized he had pushed me out with his ki and I immediately got up and pounded on the door, knowing he had locked it and melted the door shut like he always did when he didn't want me in.
Sighing I gave up trying to get an answer out of him. It was no use. Now what? Do I go and live a normal life and just forget this whole thing? I wanted to, but mothers don't just forget about things that involve their children. I was stuck. Nowhere to turn to get an answer, nobody would know why he was...
Suddenly I swear a brick hit my head as I slapped my own scalp. KAMI! Why didn't I think of that before? Kami would know why they were at his tower! I must have hurled a million insults about my intelligence at myself while I raced down the stairs. Not caring about what I looked like or smelled like or anything I jumped into my jet (which was already out of its capsule) and sped off to Kami's tower as fast as the rockets would go. I was pressed against my chair at the speed I was using and suddenly felt a violent lurch as my jet abruptly stopped.
Immediately I knew what happened. I opened the door knowing that I wouldn't fall, and leaned as far out as I could.
"VEGETA!!!! What are you doing?!" I yelled, letting him know how mad I was.
"Your not going." He said bluntly.
"Let go of the jet Vegeta!"
"No." Was the last I heard from him as I felt the jet being pulled backwards. He knew I was going to Kami's when he felt the jet engines moving in the direction of the tower, and since he had the incredible speed of his, he got there quite quickly considering how hard I stepped on the peddle.
Completely defenseless against Vegeta's strength and no way to counter it, I just shut the door and slumped back into my chair and watched the scenery fall away. I was about to close my eyes when I saw the eject button. A small smirk appeared when I realized that I had made that eject button so that if any evil alien came to steal me while I was in my jet, I could press my eject button, which I had made so it goes down instead of up, and very, very, very slowly, so that you could not detect the movement. I set the controls to send my chair to the mini jet and pressed the button before I had time to debate, and felt my chair being transported to my escape. I waited patiently to arrive and when I did I immediately left, praying and believing Vegeta wouldn't see me. One second... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Seven...
I opened my eyes when I counted seven and sighed when I realized I had accomplished escape for seven seconds.
Eight... Nine...Ten...Lurch
I screamed in aggravation. Why did I even try?! That annoying husband of mine was to damn stubborn to just assume I'd stay in the jet and not try to leave. Did he always have to check on me????
I saw his triumphant smirk in my window as he spoke.
"Thought you could get away that easily? I didn't know you were that stupid to try to escape. I'll have to keep and extra eye on you, dear." He said, as sarcastic as hell when he called me 'dear'. I just gave him the coldest look as I could muster when he laughed. He thought that he was pretty damn funny. Big asshole...
I just crossed my arms in my own little pity-party and mumbled every word in the book. I guess I'd have to try to go at night...
We got home quicker this time, obviously because Vegeta didn't want anymore cat and mouse games, he just wanted to get me home so he could train. I was about to open the door when it was opened for me and I was dragged out of my seat. I shook the persistent man off me hastily.
"I'm going! Leave me alone, I can walk myself." I yelled at him angrily.
"Who said I'm letting you go wherever you please?" He said just as angrily.
"What is THAT suppose to mean?"
"It means your going wherever I go so I can keep an eye on you. You'd probably try and escape as soon as I go and train."
"I'm not going to go wherever you go! Who's going to stop me? I'm not going to be holed up in a chamber all day under the gravity you train in. It'd kill me for sure and you know it."
He thought about this for a minute. "Then I guess I just won't train."
I laughed. "Not train?! Like I'm going to believe that! Give me a break Vegeta! You wouldn't stop training for a reason like that!"
His eyes got small with determination. He was getting pretty serious about this.
"Try me."
--------------------------------------------------------
OKAY OKAY OKAY I KNOOOOWWW what your thinking! "You said this chapter was going to be about Bulma debating on whether she was going to talk to Vegeta and Gohan about Trunks and Pan's relationship!" Yaaaa I know I did! But I thought about it and realized that a whole chapter on debating would be B-O-R-I-N-G! I really want to get the whole Vegeta-Bra talk off my hands before I get deeper into Trunks and Pan's relationship! But I will have little scenes about them, so T/P fans don't freak! I will have plenty of T/P scenes while I'm getting this whole talk out of the story! PLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next Chapter: (Hopefully...)
Vegeta reveals that he does plan to stop training to watch Bulma, while she keeps trying to get to Kami's tower! Why is he so determined to keep this whole thing a secret?
