The night before the ball game, Yamcha sat in front of the tv, with Puar sitting next to him. They were spending the night in to watch a horror-fest that was coming on. The movies were about to start when the phone rang.
" I wonder who that could be," Yamcha said as he got up to get the phone from the end table. "hello?" It was Bulma. She finally decided to call him back.
" Hey Yamcha.." Bulma said. "I am very sorry about the other day. I did invite someone else out, but I didn't mean things to go the way they did. I had no interest in him like the way I do with you."
" Ok....I am sorry to babe... ah.." I studered out, for I didn't really know what to say. " Hmm.. Look, we can talk things out. We can get through this, I still want you to be my girlfriend."
" Thank you Yamcha. " Bulma said sweetly. " i have been meaning to call you , but didn't know if I should...or.."
" Its ok, that was the same issue for me. I just decided to wait it out a bit, wait til you were ready to talk."
" I understand," Bulma said. " Hey, about tomorrow, I would really like to go with you to the game."
Eekks. I still wanted to take Bulma, but it would be rude to take back the invite to his former class mate, especially since she was looking forward to it. I am sure Bulma would understand. " Um, Bulma listen... I would still like you to go with me, but since the last time we were together you plainly stated that you did not want to go. So I invited an old classmate to go . She is only in town for a week, and she is really looking forward to going to the game. I hope you understand. We can get together Sunday if you want to. Sound good to you?"
There was a bit of silence on the other end of the phone. " Yeah, I guess soo..." Bulma finally answered. " so I'll see ya Sunday, ok? I'll call you then"
I said goodbye to her and hung up the phone. Puar looked at me, knowing it was Bulma who called. " I told her, but I don't think she is happy. I will talk to her more on Sunday about it." I sat back down and Puar flopped down on my lap as we watched movies the rest of the night,then fell asleep.
The next day came soon enough. I woke up at nine o'clock, ate, got ready, and left to go pick up Yumi. We went and found our seats, which were decent ones, and watched the game.
" SO how is life treating you?" Yumi asked.
" Eh... decent, I guess."
" So tell me about this girl you are always talking about... Bulma is her name right?" She asked me being ever so nosy, as usual.
" Well, she is beautiful, smart, and... well, nice."
" That sounds.... iffy.." Yumi said. Yumi was the only girl in school I wasn't afraid of. She was rather shy around people who didn't know her. She was rather Tom boyish in a way. I had met her at lunch, i couldn't find a place to sit because all my friends had a different period of lunch. She grabbed me and sat me down, saying I looked as terrified as she did. Since then we became instant friends.
" Well,we are going through some tough times. I love her to death, don't get me wrong, but she has terrible mood swings."
" That's it?" She asked, looking at Puar who had been shaking her head in a silent no.
I sighed as I answered her. " She got mad at me a few days ago." I told her the story, and mentioned how this date of hers went. " And even though she said she was sorry and she sounded like she wasn't upset because I had asked you to go with me, I think she is still peeved."
" She is very bossy and nit picky," Puar chimed in. " She always wants to get what she wants. Don't get me wrong Yumi, Bulma can be very sweet and nice,but only if she wants to."
" Yeah," I agreed. " She can tend to be self centered a times. But she is very fun to be with.."
" When she is not acting like a selfish baby and demanding what she wants?" Yumi finished for me.
" Yeah."
"Hmm.. maybe she is not the one for you." Yumi said.
" But she is the only woman I am not afraid of. Besides you. I don't know if I'd want to go through the torment of finding someone else to love and care for."
" So you'd rather put up with some crap just because you are afraid of not finding someone else? This is not the bandit-Yamcha I one knew." Yumi explained to me. I agreed in a way. I agreed that I should not be afraid to find some one who's better then me, but at this point, I still thought Bulma was the one. I said I was willing to work things out with her, and I meant that at the time. Yumi understood that when I explained that to her. We chatted here and there during the game.
Oh, and my team one, by the way.
