Inter-Elements

Chapter 3

The next morning the girls were all packed and ready to go. Bulma brought most of her stuff, since she had capsules, and the rest of the girls had one bag each. "Well girls, are we ready to go meet with everyone else?" Bulma said excitedly. "Yes, I think we're about ready! So Bulma, you and Vegeta will be sleeping in the same tent! I'm sorry that we did that to you, but we had no choice. Maybe you should go out with him!" Chi-Chi said. Bulma rolled her eyes. "Yea right Chi! He doesn't like me like that. The only reason that we're sleeping in the same tent is because you guys forced us to! Sheesh!" Bulma said. 18 just stood there giggling.

~In the main building~

Everyone was gathered there to wait for further instructions. The group met up, and decided to gather the necessities for the trip. Bulma went over to a desk and grabbed their 4 tents. Chi-Chi grabbed the coolers of food, and put them into capsules. Goku and Vegeta grabbed the firewood, and Bulma put the firewood into capsules and made the guys carry the capsules with them. Krillin and 18 grabbed the map and compass. Mandy walked over to them with some papers in her hand and said, "Okay guys! You're set. I just want to explain some stuff before I let you go. First, I must tell you that you have to find some items in the forest to show that you can use your skills and techniques out here. The items are listed here on this paper, and where they are at on this map." She handed the papers and maps to Chi-Chi. "Now," she started again, "You must all work together. You shouldn't eat too much of the food, because you only have enough to last for the entire two weeks, and I know that some of you have, uh, rather large hungers. So, if you run out, you must get your food from the nature. Fishing, hunting, or finding edible plants, are some ways of getting food if you run out. Be careful, because there are poison-ness plants and animals in the forest. If you get Poison Ivy or something, you have to suffer through it, sorry guys. Well, you can go now. Good luck!" Mandy waved the guys off and returned to the main building.

They were all hiking, and took many breaks, due to Chi-Chi and Libbie complaining. They weren't much on hiking or being out doors. When it finally got dark, they decided to camp out. They had all set up there tents, with Vegeta and Bulma nervous about the nights ahead of them. They lit a fire and everyone gathered big logs to sit around the fire with. Goku and Krillin cooked some hot dogs on a stick for dinner. "So, what do we do now?" 18 said questionably. "Well, after we eat, we go to bed. We have to get up early to start hiking some more, and look for the items. We could always play a game or something, I guess." Krillin said. Everyone looked at Krillin and smiled. "So, what kind of game Krillin?" Goku asked. "I don't know, like maybe, hide and seek with a bit of a twist?" Krillin responded. "Well, what kind of twist?" Chi-Chi asked. "Well, the tents could be, like, a base, so whenever you're being chased, you can touch one of the tents, and you could be safe, but there's gotta be a time limit. Like 30 seconds, and you're not safe anymore. And we can have girls against boys. How does that sound?" Krillin said. "Sounds interesting!" Bulma shouted excitedly. "But, we need to plan something really quick okay? So, guys, give us a minute." Bulma said. Vegeta looked at her suspiciously and the guys nodded their heads and walked away a little bit. "Okay, we need to wear dark colors so that they can't see us." Bulma whispered to the group of huddled girls. The girls snickered and agreed. Chi-Chi was wearing yellow, so she decided to change, along with Bulma. 18 and Libbie were wearing dark clothes, so they were fine. The boys looked at Bulma and Chi-Chi and asked, "What are you two doing?" "Oh, uh, we don't want to get out favorite clothes dirty, so we're going to change really quick." Bulma responded hesitantly, trying not to give their plan away. When they were done, they started playing. The boys were hiding in bushes, while the girls decided to hide in the trees. They could see everything. Krillin was right below the tree 18 was in, and jumped down and grabbed Krillin. "Got ya! Haha!" 18 said. Krillin tried to run, but couldn't get away from 18.Chi-Chi spotted Goku and slid down the tree part way, almost touching the ground, and tagged Goku. "Haha! I tagged you! You're it!" Chi-Chi said running away. "Guys! I'm it!" Goku yelled, so that the guys were now chasing the girls. Bulma was about to tag Vegeta, until Goku yelled out that he was it, so she climbed back up the tree a little. Vegeta heard her, and turned around, but didn't see her. He spotted her when he looked and shook the tree. She was trying to get onto another branch, and fell into the lake beside the tree. She was covered in water, and screamed the whole way down. Vegeta jumped into the water to tag her. He never saw her come back up, so he dived back down, and couldn't find her. Little did he know that she was already out of the water. "I'm right here Vegeta! Get me if you can! Haha!" Bulma said, and ran to the nearest tree and climbed up. Vegeta heard her, and surfaced the water. He didn't see her anywhere, and instantly knew that she ran somewhere. He got out of the water and looked for her.

Elsewhere, Yamcha was looking for Libbie everywhere. She fell out of the tree accidentally and landed in his arms. She blushed when she noticed whom it was. He was about to yell 'you're it' when she kissed him, and he kissed back. They were making out the whole time, and when Chi-Chi ran past she noticed and yelled, "Hey you guys! Stop that! We're in the middle of a game here!" Yamcha and Libbie never stopped kissing, and ignored Chi-Chi. Goku heard her and ran over to where she was. "What are you guys doing? Sheesh! Can't you go to your tent to do that or something? You two are out of the game!" Goku said. He then tapped Chi- Chi's shoulder and said, "You're it!" Chi-Chi laughed and yelled, "Girls, I got tagged!"

Bulma heard Chi-Chi and immediately ran to where Vegeta was last seen. She spotted him and reached out to him. He didn't see her, but he heard something and turned around, knocking Bulma to the ground, with him on top of her. Both were blushing like crazy. She looked at him and whispered, "tag you're it." Before he kissed her. The kiss lasted a long time, but they needed some air. Bulma and Vegeta were both blushing madly and Bulma whispered in his ear, "What was that for?" Vegeta smirked and said, "Oh, I don't know. Did you enjoy it as much as I did?" Bulma nodded her head and kissed him again. Vegeta finally got up and held out his hand for Bulma, and she willing took his hand. Once she was on her feet, he picked her up and held her body with both arms. She giggled and squealed. He just smirked and carried her to their tent.

Chi-Chi and Goku watched as Vegeta carried a happy Bulma into their tent and smiled at each other. "Well Goku, don't you think it's, uh, time to go to bed? Heehee." Goku smiled and said, "Yea!" They both rushed to their tent.

Krillin and 18 were still playing, unaware that the rest of them were, um, preoccupied. 18 grabbed Krillin and said, "Tag you're it little man!" Krillin snickered and said, "Should we just, go, and leave the others to play this game?" 18 smiled and nodded her head in agreement.

~The next morning~

Vegeta and Bulma were already awake, and started making breakfast, and talked about the, uh, night before. "Do you like me, like me Vegeta?" Bulma asked. "I suppose I do. That is if you like me, like me." (A/N: Does that sound confusing? Well, they don't just like each other; it's like the next step of liking someone. Get it? Hope so! LOL) Bulma smiled and said, "Yes, I do." They were both staring at each other and blushing when Vegeta noticed something moving, out of the corner of his eye. He looked over and saw Libbie and Yamcha on the ground holding each other. Yamcha stirred from his sleep and got up. "What's going on? What happened?" Yamcha said in a daze. Vegeta and Bulma started laughing. "Well, it looks like you two fell asleep after our hide and chase game. We forgot about you. Well, actually, we forgot about everyone." Bulma said looking over to Vegeta. He blushed and said, "Why didn't you go to bed last night? You slept on the ground, with all of the bugs! Haha!" Vegeta said. Yamcha looked at his surroundings and hurriedly got up from the ground and looked at himself. There were a few ants and bugs on him, and he quickly flicked them off. He looked at Libbie and noticed some bugs on her too. He flicked the bugs off of her, and picked her up. Libbie woke up in his arms and smiled. "What's going on?" Libbie said. Yamcha sweat dropped and responded, "Well, we fell asleep on the ground last night. Do you want to go into the tent, and, uh, change or something?" She nodded her head.

Chi-Chi and Goku finally woke up after 18 and Krillin. Everyone's awake and they all curiously looked at Vegeta and Bulma, wondering why they weren't arguing or anything. "Well, did you two have a good night?" Chi- Chi asked, giggling. Vegeta and Bulma blushed and nodded their heads. Everyone else started cracking up. "Well, we should pack up and go now." 18 said. Everyone quickly agreed and took down their tents. "Would you uh, like me, to uh, carry your stuff for you?" Vegeta asked Bulma nervously as she put everything in capsules. "Well, you can carry the capsules if you want to." Vegeta nodded and took the capsules.

One hour, and 5 pit stops later, Bulma said, "Wait guys! One of the items are very close. It should be a dragon shaped thing. It's over in this direction." Bulma started moving to her left and ran into a bush. "Well, it says it's right here." Bulma looked in the bush, and grabbed something. "Got it!" Bulma shouted. Everyone smiled. "One down, 4 to go!" Chi-Chi said excitedly.

After a few hours and 2 items later, they decided to stop and take a swim in the river. Everyone changed into their swimsuits behind some trees, and jumped in. After 30 minutes of swimming, they got dressed and started hiking again.

They finally found all of the items by dark and stopped to camp out for the night.

To be continued.....

Sorry guys, but I am just having issues writing this story. I am having writers block or whatever it's called! Sheesh. It's hard to add on like this. Don't worry, I'll write another chapter later on, and have it posted by the next day, maybe even tonight! Got any ideas? Please give me some review, and tell me what you think! Thank you!
