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 probably be the happiest person in the world and I would stop the crappy merchandise, the screwed up voices,(well, in Australia they're screwed) but most of all… I would assassinate Funimation!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… sorry, I'll be good and get on with the story.

Well hello everybody. I'm starting to get towards the end now. Pity because I like this story I'm writing. Oh well. Don't worry though, I've got some good ideas for my final chapters. But I would like you to answer me a question….

Do you think Vegeta and Bulma should actually get back together? I know what the answer will be but what the hell! Just send in your answer with your reviews. Why am I even doing this? I guess I'm bored.

I'm sorry this took so long to write, I'm back at school and assignments and stuff are due. IT NEVER ENDS!!! NEVER I TELL YOU!!!!!!

Here I go.

Trouble

Chapter 6. Trouble reaches its peak.

Bulma sat on her bed inside her Capsule Corp home. She could NOT believe she could feel this bad. She had never felt this bad in her life. Not even when her first boyfriend thought her head was only a lollypop. OR the time her dad drove her to that huge party in his slippers. HIS SLIPPERS! But this felt worse, so much worse.

Who had dedicated that song to her? Who would have done that? This was all she needed at the moment. Another problem.

My god. She thought. Why is this entire thing happening to me? Kind of like my own plagues or something. First…the fight, then Yamcha, and now this party. I can't take this anymore!

Bulma undressed, got into her pyjamas and climbed into bed. She hoped she would feel better in the morning.

****

"C ya Goku, I had a really good time!" Videl said. "Tell Bulma I hope she feels better soon.

"But… she's not sick, she's fine." Goku told her matter-of-factly.

"Never mind…" Videl said, shaking her head and sighing. She and Gohan got into the air-car and drove off into the night.

"Well, that's the last one." Goku said, shutting the door.

"Thank God!" ChiChi exclaimed. "I thought it was going to be a disaster after Bulma left. Who dedicated her that song?"

"I don't know, it wasn't signed." Goku said.

"Come on Goku, I'm really tired, let's go to bed, we can clear this up in the morning."

"Ok ChiChi, I just want to catch the end of the game."

"Fine." ChiChi sighed. She trudged up the stairs, while Goku flopped on the couch and turned on the TV.

****

Bra quietly unlocked the door. She walked into the house, listening for signs of life. When she didn't hear any, she walked up to her room, and went to bed.

As she lay in her small bed, she thought about how horrible the last few days had been. She missed her dad something awful. She remembered when he had bought her Mr Snuggles. (Authors note. I DO NOT OWN MR SNUGGLES. HE IS THE PROPERTY OF PRINCESS BRA! Thank you.) She hugged Mr Snuggles © to her and prayed to God that this would all end soon.

She didn't notice the shadow moving away from her large window.

****

Bulma woke up the next morning feeling terrible. She had a sore throat and a blocked nose. She had caught a cold. She immediately went downstairs and got herself a box of tissues.

I can't take much more of this! She thought. I can't handle this; I got a cold … a cold! I feel so bad… my life's not worth living any more! Tears spilled down Bulma's face, making her sniffle and sneeze even more.

****

Trunks woke up at Pan's house. She had her arm around him. He thought about lying there and just staying in her arms forever. Finally something good was happening, and he wanted it to last forever. Not letting Pan let him go he reached for his diary.

Dear Diary,

I can't even remember what happened the night of the fight, but I haven't seen dad since. I know he never cared for me and I knew he probably doesn't want me around, but if he knew how much we all missed him… well his pride would get a huge boost. His stupid, shitty pride, why can't he forget it for once and come home! He's destroying mum and he's making life hell for all of us.

Bra misses him badly too. I haven't seen her smile in days. I don't blame her; she looks exactly like I feel.

Gohan says he spotted dad far away from here, I don't think he told mum he was heading in the opposite direction. I keep sensing his Ki around here but when I get to the spot, he's gone! I think I just keep imagining I'm sensing it. I think I'm going insane! The party last night couldn't cheer me up, and that was the whole reason I went!

Well I think I better go Pan's waking up and I don't want her to see me writing…

Trunks shut his diary with a bang and hid it in his coat just as Pan opened her eyes.

"Morning Trunks." She yawned.

"Morning." Trunks muttered. He got out of Pan's bed and got changed into his usual outfit.

"Aren't you staying?" Pan asked.

"No, I think I should see how mum is. She was pretty upset last night."

"Oh ok then. Tell her I said hello." Pan muttered sleepily.

Trunks walked out of Pan's house and took off for his own. As he flew through the sky, he suddenly felt a jolt go through him. That was definitely his father's Ki… and it was close, very very close. He veered in the direction of it and hoped against hope.

****

Bulma stood on the edge of the huge cliff near her house. It was a long way down. At least she would get a great view before she died.

She had come to the conclusion that Vegeta was not coming back. It had been two weeks and there had been no sign of him, except for Gohan, and she knew he hadn't told her everything.

She had waited and hoped for so long, and the pang inside her that was always there had grown bigger and bigger as each day had passed and now she didn't care. She didn't care about anything anymore.

Bulma Briefs held her arms out and prepared to jump. As she leaned forward, one thing flashed in her mind.

Goodbye Vegeta…

She fell forward… and stopped. Something had grabbed the back of her T-shirt. She felt herself being hauled up.

"No… let me fall," She cried.

"Bulma what the hell do you think you're doing!!!" A male voice cried. Bulma looked up into the face of…

****

Trunks was flying as fast as he could, trying to catch up to his father. His father's Ki was getting bigger and bigger. Suddenly he spotted a small spot on the horizon. He pulled in closer and closer until he could see his father's face. It was contorted with anger. He shot a blast at Trunks, who narrowly missed it. Putting on the last burst of speed he had, he pulled up in front of Vegeta.

"Dad, what the hell do you think you're doing!" Trunks cried.

"Well I was trying to get away from you! Get out of my way, brat!"

"But why did you leave? Don't you care at all about what you're putting everyone through?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO MUM!!"

For a moment, Vegeta hesitated, and a strange look came over his face, but it was soon gone. "First of all, it's none of your business why I left, second, why should I care about all that pathetic Kakarott or his dimwit friends, and thirdly… GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!"

With that, Vegeta pushed past his son and before Trunks could even react, he was gone.

****

"Krillan! What are you doing here!" Bulma questioned as she looked up into Krillan's face.

"It seems I should be asking you that Bulma! You've been so messed up lately that everybody's been keeping an eye on you. I went to your house to see how you were and when you weren't there I came looking for you. I got there just at the nick of time too."

"Please Krillan, you shouldn't have been here, please let me go, I don't deserve to live."

"Bulma for hell's sake, stop saying that! Of course you deserve to live! It wasn't your fault that all this happened! Have you forgotten the other people around you! They're upset about it too! Trunks and Bra need their mother right now and they can't get what they need if you decide to kill yourself! Who knows Bulma? What if Vegeta decides to come back! And what if he comes back and finds out you've thrown yourself off a cliff! You'll just cause more pain and suffering for the people who love you! Now stop talking bullshit and come home and start acting like a mother! I'm sorry I had to talk to you this way Bulma, but I think you needed it."

Krillan then took Bulma home, where she asked her kids to come home. She felt so ashamed, now that Krillan had lectured her and she realised how terrible she had been to everybody around her. Well, now she would be a good person, and help get her kids through this.

****

Bra sat down in front of her mother and wondered what she wanted to say.

"Kids, I just want to tell you that I'm sorry and that I've been acting terribly."

Bra was stunned. Her mother was apologising? For what?

"I've been so wrapped up in my own sorrow that I had no idea of what you were going through. I just wanted to say I'm sorry and that I'll try to do better."

"That's ok mum, we'll help each other through this." Bra said; as she wrapped her arms around her mother, and felt Trunks do the same. (Oh my God that was soooo corny, oh well I like the fact that I put it in.)

****

And now, something really special!

Vegeta flew through the air, thoughts racing through his mind.

Damn brat, following me. What business was it of him to intrude! Does he know that I dedicated that song to Bulma at that party? If he knows, I'll kill him and that damn Kakarott too!

The brat…my princess…Bulma… I miss them all. I even miss Bulma's cooking! Oh well, I can't go back now, I'll look weak, and besides, they probably don't even care that I'm gone, I don't care what that son of mine said, what would he know! He's just a stupid kid!

But every time I've looked at them, they've been upset and I've just wanted to go and comfort them… Baka! What are you saying, you don't miss them! I don't care what they say! They don't miss you! Everything is probably better off anyway! I can't go back…I can't…

Vegeta flew through the air, thoughts racing through his mind.

So what did you think? I'm sorry, I'm probably not very good at love stories, but I love romance, so I thought, why not?( I'm not planning to write any lemons because I'm only 14 and I will probably screw it up, but maybe later on in my life I will attempt it, but until then, I'm planning to write a comedy and add a little romance into it, I think it will be good.

Is there anything you want me to write about? (I'm only gonna do DBZ and I already have an idea in case I don't get anything good. All ideas I use will be mentioned.) Do you think Vegeta and Bulma should get back together? Please R&R and tell me what you think. Lookin forward to it, bye!
