Disclaimer: Once again, I don't own Dragon Ball Z or any other shows I have taken stuff out of and if I use something that you have used before, I'm sorry I did not deliberately do this. P.S. if I did own Dragon Ball Z, I would be a multi millionaire and I would be lazing on my huge luxury couch watching my enormous big screen TV and then I would…. *Laughs awkwardly with hand behind her head* anyway…

The background music is back. I really did like the background music so I'm putting it in again. Once again there will be a star next to the verses so you can tell the difference between the song and the characters thoughts.

There will also be a couple of flashbacks! One of these flashbacks will be the hardest thing I will write on Fanfiction at the moment. This sign ~ will mean flashback.

Here I go again!

Trouble

Chapter 4, Trouble worsens.

(Music plays, Be with you, by Enrique Iglesias.)

Krillen sat at his kitchen table, reading the comics section of the local newspaper. He chuckled and turned to the stars. He looked up his star, Libra:

You may be in a bit of trouble today, it said. Situations you have caused will turn on you today and you may be regretting it. Make sure you go out and put things right before you find yourself in even more trouble than you bargained for.

Krillen chuckled again. He didn't believe in star signs. They had never actually happened.

I wonder why I read them at all. Krillen pondered. They're never true, man I bet Goku would believe in them though. He's so gullible.

Just then, Krillen heard the doorbell. He got up to answer it and there was ChiChi. She was fuming.

* Monday night I feel so low

* Count the hours, they go so slow

Krillen found his heart pumping in his chest and that wasn't love he was feeling, it was fear.

"Uh… ChiChi!" He said with fake happiness. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe I came to ask you why you told the whole world about Bulma and Vegeta."

"Oh, well ChiChi…uh…"

"Why you little…!"

Krillen soon found himself running as hard as he could, with ChiChi in hot pursuit.

****

Bulma Briefs let herself in the front door and slumped on the chair in her lounge room. She had just been out looking at a new mirror for her bedroom. After her old one was smashed, she felt that no one cared about her anymore or even knew she was there.

*I know the sound of your voice can save my soul,

*City lights, streets of gold.

Bulma walked up to her room and flopped on her bed. Vegeta was gone, so were the kids and she wasn't talking to ChiChi. Goku felt it was safe to leave her by herself, but if she needed help, to just call him and he'd comfort her. But it wasn't Goku she wanted, it was Vegeta.

She found herself thinking of the day they first kissed. It was during spring, a few years ago…

~ "Woman! Where's my dinner! I'm hungry, even for your cooking!" Vegeta yells.

"Hold on will you! It's coming."

"Why don't you get the demon mate of Kakarot to cook for you!"

"Because she is always busy and I don't want to make her cook for you!" Bulma screams.

"Oh great I'm going to die of food poisoning." Bulma storms out of the kitchen and stands in front of Vegeta.

"Will you SHUT UP! I want this to be ready before The Young and the Restless comes on!"

"Oh no, not that show, I want to watch Big Brother!" Vegeta complains.

"Well too bad!"

Vegeta and Bulma find themselves squaring off.

"Why can't I watch Big Brother, tonight is eviction night!"

"But Bo is about to propose to Hope! I can't miss this episode!"

Bulma and Vegeta then stand, faces almost touching, growling at each other. Suddenly they stop growling and each places their lips on the others'. The kiss is short at first, but grows longer and longer until Bulma breaks it.

*Look out my window to the world below,

*Moves so fast and it feels so cold.

"What am I doing! I'm still going out with Yamcha!" Bulma screams hysterically.

Vegeta stares at nothing while Bulma screams then goes to the gravity room without a word, leaving Bulma to go to her room to think things over. ~

Bulma smiled as she remembered the memory. She remembered how passionate the kiss was, she'd never been kissed like that before, and how Vegeta had only admitted to it when she threatened to break the gravity machine.

Bulma's thoughts were interrupted by a figure stepping in front of her.

"Hey Bulma!" Yamcha said as he knelt in front of her. "You ok?"

"Yes I'm fine, how did you get in!"

"You left the front door open. So how are you? I saw you smiling when I came in. What are you thinking about?" Yamcha said with a grin.

"Oh nothing Yamcha. So why did you come?"

"To see if you were ok, and to ask if you wanted to go to that new restaurant with me tonight. I got us really romantic seats by the window." Yamcha said.

"Oh…" Bulma stammered. "I'm not sure, I think I'm busy…"

"No you're not. I checked with everyone and you are not busy. Please Bulma. I promise I won't do anything bad."

"Oh… alright Yamcha. I'll come." said Bulma, giving in with a sigh. The past few days had made her very weak.

"I promise you'll love it!" Yamcha said with a big grin.

*And I'm all alone, don't let me die

*I'm losing my mind, baby give me a sign

A few hours later, Bulma walked out the door to her mailbox. She pulled out a heap of bills, coupons, and advertising junk. She was heading back to her front door, when she heard a voice call her name.

"Hey Bulma, wait up!" Goten called.

"Oh hi Goten. How are you?" Bulma said, turning around.

"Oh, pretty good. Do you know where Bra is?" Goten asked.

"Yes, she's gone out shopping with Pan." Bulma answered.

"Oh thanks, that's not what I came her for though. I came to give you this invitation. Dad's gone to give one to Krillen, so he told me to give you one."

"Thanks Goten. What's the invitation for?" Bulma inquired.

"It's for a normal sort of Saturday night disco thing. It's to give people a break, everybody's been tense lately. We're thinking of holding one every month."

You mean this thing is for me because I'm so tense. thought Bulma. Oh well, maybe I need a break for one night, I think I deserve it.

"Thanks Goten, tell Goku I can make it."

"Sure thing Bulma, See you later!" Goten said, taking off towards his house.

*And now that you're gone,

*I just wanna be with you.

Bulma walked back into her house feeling better to be going to this party. She had no idea why, but she knew she was definitely going. She opened the envelope and pulled out the letter.

Dear Bulma

You are invited to a party at Goku and ChiChi's house.

Date: 19th of May

Time: 7:00pm until late.

RSVP: 14th of May

Number: you know the number.

We hope you will be able to come.

Sincerely: Goku and ChiChi.

Bulma put the letter up on her fridge so she would remember it. She went to the fridge and pulled out a sandwich. She bit into it as she got up and went to her room.

Bulma never noticed the shadow watching her through the window.

****

Yamcha hummed to himself as he drove the aircar to Bulma's house later that night. He was very pleased with himself for convincing Bulma to come to this restaurant with him. He hadn't booked at the restaurant, he hadn't even phoned!

He was planning to dazzle her by taking her to Lookout Point, then from there on, he would see what would happen.

*And I can't go on,

*I just wanna be with you.

Yamcha laughed under his breath as he dreamed of what might happen tonight and the fact that Bulma thought he was only taking her out for dinner.

Yamcha pulled up in front of Bulma's house and got out of the car, he would have preferred to fly her, but she would get nervous and angry. Besides, Bulma liked travelling in aircars, or so he had heard.

****

Bulma sighed as she put her mascara on. She wondered why she was doing this. She knew she would never love Yamcha anymore. She wished she wasn't doing this. Maybe she should tell him that ChiChi had invited her over at the last minute and she had to go because she was very upset.

No, that wouldn't work, she told herself everybody knows about our fight and everybody knows that Yamcha is taking me out. Oh well, I'll just deal with it and tell him no in future.

Bulma sighed as she heard the doorbell ring. She knew who it wouldn't be anyway. She felt the hopelessness hit her again like a sledgehammer.

* I just wanna be with you

*Wanna be with you.

Bulma opened the door to an ecstatic Yamcha. He looked so happy it made her sick.

"Ready to go baby?" Yamcha said.

"Yes I'm ready and I'm not your baby, Yamcha, weather you want me to be or not."

"Ok I'm sorry Bulma. Anyway we better go or we'll be late."

"Ok." Bulma said weakly, giving in again.

****

Yamcha grinned as the pulled away from the house. Everything was going according to plan. Now if he could get to Lookout Point without Bulma getting suspicious, then the plan would be perfect, but first he had to convince her he had good intentions.

"So Bulma, I'm really sorry about what happened with you and Vegeta. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know, ok?"

Bulma said nothing.

"I know this must be really hard for you, but think about it. He left you, he didn't care if you were upset." Yamcha said.

Still Bulma said nothing.

"I mean, what an inconsiderate jerk! Just leaving you like this. I bet you didn't do anything to him!"

"Yamcha I really don't want to talk about it." Bulma whispered.

"Oh ok then." Yamcha said, surprised.

* I can't sleep I'm up all night,

* Through these tears I try to smile.

The rest of the drive was uneventful, until…

"Yamcha we just passed the restaurant. What are you doing?" Bulma said suspiciously.

"Oh we will go there, I… just… have to refuel the car, there's a petrol station just up here." Yamcha lied.

"But you have a spare petrol tank in the car."

"Yeah but… I'd rather have someone do it for me, I don't want to get my hands dirty." Yamcha stuttered.

Bulma just looked away and he left her to her thoughts.

~ "Hey Vegeta, we're going to have a baby! Isn't that great!" Bulma cries.

"WHAT!" Vegeta screams.

"We're going to have a baby!"

"NOT ANOTHER ONE!"

"Yes, I hope we get a girl this time, we already have a boy." Bulma dreams.

"One was enough." Vegeta states.

"Oh shut up you. You have a half saiyan boy already, I want a girl who will help me around the house and not go killing herself in the battlefield."

"BUT YOU REMEMBER HOW HARD THE BRAT WAS! HOW ARE YOU GOING TO COPE WITH ANOTHER ONE!"

"Oh don't worry, It'll be exactly the same as before, except I'll probably have an easier time with a girl." Bulma says.

"Another brat. Great." Vegeta growls.

"Oh come on Vegeta, you're happy about this, I can see it." Bulma gives him a kiss.

"Well… maybe… It'll still be a pain though."

"We can handle that can't we." Vegeta smiles. (Well smirks.)~

Bulma smiled again as she remembered that memory.

* I know the touch of you're hand can save my life

*Don't let me down, come to me now

"Bulma, we're here." Yamcha sang.

"That's good." Bulma said without emotion.

"Just look at that view."

"Very nice Yamcha now can we go?"

"Oh not yet. Just look for a few minutes, we have time."

"Ok but then I want to go straight to the rest…" Yamcha putting his lips on hers cutting off Bulma. Bulma first looked shocked then horrified as she tried to push him away. He then ran his hand down her side. Bulma started making muffled screams.

"Don't worry Bulma I won't hurt you." Yamcha said. Bulma started to scream while her mouth was free.

"HELP HE…" she screamed as she was cut off again.

* I gotta be with you somehow

* Who am I without you?

Bulma heart pounded in her ribcage as she tried to get free. She tried to yell for anyone, anyone at all. Suddenly a voice came out of the approaching darkness.

"Yamcha!" Yamcha looked up. He saw a man standing there, a man wearing an orange gi with hair all over the place. He saw Goku.

"What do you think you're doing Yamcha! I thought you were a good man! I thought you knew better! Now get lost!"

Yamcha quickly got out his spare key and started the aircar. Goku lifted Bulma out just as he pulled away.

"Are you ok Bulma?" Goku asked. Bulma was shivering with fright and visibly terrified.

"I…I…think so." Bulma whispered.

"Come on Bulma, I'll take you home." Goku said and flew her home.

****

Gohan was sitting at the table in Videl's friend's house. He was bored out of his skull. These people just kept talking and talking and talking. Why couldn't they ever shut up? Videl laughed at a pathetic joke they just made and Gohan pretended to laugh too.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom ok?" He said.

"Sure! You know that reminds me of a really funny incident where…" the man went on.

"Oh god." Gohan said once they were out of earshot.

"Gohan headed for the balcony. It was going to be a long drive home. This place was so far from where they lived that it wasn't funny.

Suddenly Gohan felt a huge power level going past. Who could be flying way out here? No one he knew lived out here with ki. Suddenly he recognised who it was. It was Vegeta's! He could just make out something flying very fast away from the area they all lived in. It must be him. There was no time to tell Videl. Gohan took off after Vegeta. He couldn't let him get away. For Bulma's sake.
