This is my fifth chapter yay. I don't know how close I am to the ending but bare with me please.

(AN when ever a non main character speaks they'll be in black OK? Thanx.)



Bulma slipped her hands through the sleeves of a long sleeved shirt that was just her size. They were going out for a walk around the castle he was going to show her around. A small smile found its way on her face as she remembered the way he tried to stifle a chuckle at a particularly funny part of the book.He wasn't so bad then sitting next to her. She had completely forgotten her fear of him.

She was a little ashamed of herself. She was supposed to be finding a way to help her new friends but instead she was reading and going out having fun in the snow.

The clothes fit perfectly although she feared she would be letting her father down by not going home.

The door swung open and Gohaun came in."Are you ready Bulma? The princes is getting impatient."He came in all the way"Wow you look nice,hes definitely gonna like you."

She was going to have to teach him to be more patient-where had that come from?

She was already planning on being here long enough to teach him manners?Where was her mind going? She could never stay here permanently, her father needed her.

"Thanks Gohuan, yes I'm ready lead the way."She followed behind him the hem of her long brown skirt brushing against the shaggy carpets of the wood floor."Gohaun?"

"Yeah? Is something wrong?"he asked as he turned the corner and stood beside the two massive front doors.

"Never mind thank you."She opened the doors the bright sun causing her to shade her eyes with her hand.From some where a dove sang a sweet song calling out to its mate. Nature was so beautiful.

"Are you just going to stand there, lets get going before I change my mind."Vegeta said, which actually came out in a growl,ruining the moment, as he stood next to the stairs, frustration and impatience clearly written in his scrutinous expression.

She slowly descended the stairs and she took his paw in her hand"Lets go."

Vegeta glanced once at their entwined hands before they were off. First he had decided to take her to see the frozen lake behind the castle then to the cherry Blossom trees that were in full bloom. But she instead let his paw go and ran off into the snow .Watching her made him want to join her but he stood in place just watching as she spun around his mothers skirt hugging her hips as the hem flared out.She truly was a beautiful sight. What was he thinking? All he wanted from her was a lovers kiss nothing more right? Then why was he seeing her smiling face next to his?

Bulma saw him lost in thought standing there all alone so she stooped down and gathered a small snow ball in her palms and through it at him.He turned at her a flash of anger in his eyes which made her giggle at the sight. He looked at her as if she was crazy then he realized what she was doing and he gathered snow into his paw and thruogh it at her. She giggled as she easily dodged it behind a tree then ran around until she came behind him, prepared to surprise him.

But instead she was the one surprised as he turned and grabbed her. They laughed for a few moments before she realized she was in his arms hoisted off the ground.

For a moment, they just stayed like that staring into each others eyes until Vegeta hastily let her go and turned away."Um lets go see the lake." He tried to say almost angrily, but only managed a meek quiet.

"Oh okay." Why had he turned away from her? Was there something wrong in having a little fun?

They trudged through the snow in silence until the glistening lake of ice caught her view.What beauty left unappreciated.

"This is beautiful ," she remarked as she bent to run a mittened hand over the frozen surface."I've never seen such a sight. Whenever the weather is like this I'm always in the house watching my father, he gets sick around this time."

Carefully she stepped unto the ice , almost losing her balance he was by her side in an instant.Before catching her he realized she didn't need his help and felt foolish for even jumping at the chance to touch her. Was he that desperate?

Dr. Briefs stumbled into the local bar, where he knew Yamcha hung out all the time.True to his premonition, Yamcha was there smiling with a waitress, as he caught sight of him though he slipped her a piece of paper and turned to him.

"Dr. Briefs how have you been doing? I haven't seen you around in some time."He tried at pleasant conversation.

But he couldn't talk about that right then his daughter needed him to save her."Yamcha I need your help.Its about Bulma."He knew how much Yamcha wanted Bulma for him self so that would give him enough incentive to go after her and fight that horrible beast.

"What about her old man?"Yamcha took a sip of his beer, his eyes on a scantily clad woman across the room. Sure Bulma was a lot prettier than most of the women he slept with but he was getting tired of her cold shoulder, and didn't much care for her sharp tongue either.

"She needs your help, She was out in the forest and she got captured by this horrible beast."He could see his poor daughter crouched in a corner crying for him to come save her.

Instead of the reaction he thought he would get, Yamcha broke out laughing, the laughter was contagious as everyone else in the bar joined in.

"I always knew that old man was crazy." A woman behind him said as she giggled to her customer ,maybe?

"Wait let me get this straight.Bulma was kidnapped by a beast in the forest right? Old man go back to bed you were just dreaming.If Bulma is gone its probably because of your stupidness that ran her away." Yamcha said getting a laugh out of the patrons.

A tall sayin came from behind and grabbed him throwing him out in the falling snow. If Yamcha and the towns people weren't going to help him then he only had one last hope.

Vegeta uneasily waited at the diner table for her to come down. This time was going to be different, they would have a civilized conversation and that would be that.

When it came to her it seemed like his patience rang short, she was late again and dinner was served.She was still upstairs , he began to complain"How can I be patient when she's always late? By the rate she's going she'll be late for saving us."

Goku chuckled at his friends impatience,"She's probably dressing nice for dinner tonight, after all you were laying some sweet moves on her out there."

Vegeta faced him sharply,"What are you talking about?"

"We were watching just in case you messed things up, but any ways she looked just about ready to kiss you right then before you turned away and blew the whole moment" Goku said matter- of- factly.

But Vegeta brushed it off,"It wouldn't of worked she's only been here a couple of days, love does not bloom so quickly."

Goku clicked his tongue his flames dancing to an invisible rhythm,"It does, me and chichi were married three days after we met." he stopped to think,"maybe that was because we were betrothed but still love is an unpredictable thing."

"It really is." Bulma's soft voice drifted into their conversation.
