Chapter 12
2006 AD
That happened very quickly. When she looked back to the events in the prevorious timeline she felt a blush creep on her cheeks...
~flashback~
Vegeta looked at her in confusion. She's never acted like this... She stopped in front of him. She moved close , so that their chests were touching. He was only one or two inches taller so she could look right into his eyes. He blinked and shook his head, than looked at her lustfully. He warped his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer.He touched her nose with his own and then finally moved his head a little down to kiss her
The kiss lasted about 5 minutes, and when they finally pulled away they were both panting.Suddnely,she felt very weak and collapsed into his arms....
~end flashback~
That was all she could remember. Now she was in the hospital bed, and had no idea what was going on.
She heard the door open with a light noise and Vegeta entered the room. He was wearing khakis and a deep-green blouse. "Hell, he IS handsome..."she thought but quickly dismissed the thought. She had more important matteres to think of now.
He smiled and sat on the bed. Bulma couldn't decide – faint or laugh?
She choose this 2nd oppertunnity.
- What's so funny, Woman? – her Prince frowned – You're here for almost a week and first thing you do when you see me is laugh? That's not fair, you know. I tried to be nice...
- Huh...? You are nice Veggie-chan! Just don't frown! And I was here for a week?!?! What happened to me anyway? And where am I?
- Don't use that ridiculus name, yes, you were here for a week, you appearently ate something poisonous, 2002, hospital bed.
- ???
- Need something more?
- N... no...
- So.. You feel better?
- Yeah... I just don't understand how the hell we're in 2002...
- Oh, that's simple. When you fainted back then, I tried to find a hospital, and I couldn't so I just used the TM and that's how we got here. – he explained with a passive expession on his face – And you said that it would work this time!
- Hay! It's not my fault! How the hell I could repair it propertly witout anything?
- You had this scanner. Besides, you are the siencetist here, not me.
- So what??? And I don't understand how did you manage to get me into the hospital without giving my name, birth date, PESEL, insurance number...
- They took you in without hestitation. And I did give them your name and birth date.
- How did you know my birth date? – she asked, a little confused.
- I'm not blind or deaf, Onna. I saw your pathetic "birthday party", so I gave them this date.
- And... What about the year...? And how can you remember my birthday party? You were not invited. Well, you were, but you didn't bother to come.
- When they asked me about the year I just told them first that came to my mind. AND you were making so much noise on tthis stupid event, that I couldn't concentrate. – he said angrily. The fact was, that he accualy heard something going on in the CC building, so he went to check it out, and saw Bulma. He watched her all night long, keeping his ki low, so that Kakarotto couldn't sense him. But he'd never admit that. (^_^)
Bulma sighned and decided not to tease him, when he was in his acceptable mood.
- When can I get out? – she asked.
- It depends...
- On what?
- On when you'll be able to stand on your own. Then I'm taking you straight to some high-technology center. I need you to fix that damned machine. – he frowned – I assume we will have to wait long.
-Told you something? Don't frown! – she giggled, but she knew she was asking the impossible, but it was kinda fun seing him glare at her with his "I-do-what-I-want" glare – Oh, and I think that you'll be surprised by something...
She slowly sat up and set her legs on the floor. Now she was only leaning on the edge of the bed. She let go and stood on her own. – You know, we ningens are not so pathetic as you think – she winked and giggled seeing his stunned expression – Well, I suggest you leave, cuz I want to hange. Oh, by the way, where are my clothes? – she looked around. He slapped his forehead and got a big bag that he brought there earlier, and was now laying behind her bed.
- What is it? – she asked, a little bit confused.
- Well... I thought that... Uh, you might want to have some new clothes... – he blurted out and ran outside without another word. Bulma just shook her head and opened the bag. Once again, she stood before a serious dilema – faint or laugh?
Vegeta raced out of the Woman's room and headed straight to the toilet. He locked himself on every possible lock right in the moment when he felt the ground shake from the most loud laughter he had ever heard. "Shit..."
When Bulma calmed down a little, she once again grabbed the bag and started to examine its contents. After assuring all doctors that she was alright, she decided to unpack everything.
Her eyes widened. "He thought even about undrewear..." This was true. She dicovered 2 pairs of panties and 1 bra. And the most incredibble thing of this all was that he knew her size. "Uh... I didn't realize that he knows me THAT well" this thought send chills down her spine. "Kami..." But she quickly dismissed the strange feeling, and turned her attention to the clothes. She found a pair of blue jeans, navy shorts, black cotton pants, black, tight shirt, blue blouse, and navy jacket. "Why the hell everything is black or blue? Huh, nevermind." And she put on jeans, shirt, and a blouse. She looked at herself in the mirror "My Kami! The guy has talent! Everything fits perfectly!"
She packed her stuff and waited for Vegeta.
He arrived a few minutes latetr, and without a word he picked her up and flew out of the window.
- Hay! Veg...! – she tried to say something but he only glared at her and doubled his speed. Now she was holding him so thoght, like her life would depend on it (well, accualy that would be true...).
- Vegeta! – she managed to whimper.
- What Onna – he grunted, not even looking at her.
- Could you PLEASE tell me what the hell is wrong with you?
- Why do you care?
- Becouse I do!
-Well, and what if I don't want to tell you?
- Vegeta, just please tell me, ok? – she looked at him with with her famous "puppy dog eyes" expression. He sighned.
- I thought that I'd please you by getting you these things... – he muttered, not intending her to hear that. But, how lucky of him, she did hear that.
- You had! – she giggled
- Huh...?
- I was very happy that you got me these clothes, but I just imagined you shopping, and it made me laugh. – she said slowly, as like talking to a small child – You know, you should do it more often. – she winked and gave him a small kiss on the cheek He shivered. "Wow... so that's the effect I have on him. Interesting..." /AN: Heh, took her long enough.../
- Ok Onna, we're landing. Though I don't know any other big company on your mud ball of a planet besides Capsule Corporation, I think that we could find something here. – Vegeta said after a moment of uneasy silence.
- Yeah, we're in 2006 after all...
They landed in the middle of a street (earning a few strange glances from the passer byes), but what shocked Bulma was that the streets were practically empty. She saw a few people, but a city this big shoul be crowded...
- Vegeta, something's wrong. – she said looking aroud
- Why? I think that there's nothing wrong Woman. It's just your imagination..
- Hum, ok. – and she started to walk towards one of those-big-buildings-made-of-glass-however-you-call-them.
Then, suddenly she felt the ground shake.
- Wha... – she strarted, but before she could continue something like about 5000 people rushed out of all buildings, screaming, dancing and singing. She was stuck in the middle of the croud, and she couldn't move one way or another. She desperatley tried to find some gap that she would fit into, but without success. "Damn it! Where's Vegeta when I need him!"
Suddenly she heard someone yell something like 'Out of my way, bakas!!!' and she imediatlty recognized the voice. She rolled her eyes as she saw a small tunel forming right in front of her. And she saw her Sayia-jin Prince glaring at everyone around.
- Hmpf, finally Onna. Where have you been? And what the hell is going on here? – he crossed his arms glared once again at the poor people that were standing nearby.
- Don't you know? – someone shouted
- World Championship!!! – the other one called
- In what? – Bulma asked in confusion
- FOOTBALL!!! You're aliens or something? You haven't heard about World Cup?
- OMG! I forgot... It's 2002... We're in Japan... – she whispered to Vegeta.
- So... What is football anyway? – he asked in the same low tone.
- You haven't heard of it?
- Nope. I've read only about years B.C. and Anno Domini only to 15th century. You have pretty complicated history, you know? Only a race as pathetic and idio...
- Cut it out, Vegetable. Coming back to your question, footbal is a sport. A very interesting sport, I might add.
- Care to tell me about the rules?
And Bulma told him all she knew. He had a problem with understanding why there are penalties for simply "touching the opponenet." He said that they should use ki blasts, it would be a lot more interesting. But Bulma with passive expression on her face told him that most humans can't control their ki and therefore, it's impossible to fight on the pitch. Besides, it would be too dangerous to the audience. He frowned a little cursing humans for the weaklings they are and whining about their puny games and their great ability to loose time, but then he asked a most unexpected question.
- Can we go, see the match?
*Bulma makes a classic anime-style fall*
- What? – he asked
- Vegeta!!! Are you ill? You wanna go see the doctor? Maybe you have fever? – she frantically touched his forehead but it seemed that everything was under control.
- Hmpf. Can't I have a little fun? It's forbidden to the Sayia-jins? – he pouted
*sewatdrop* - No, but... ah hell! I won't argue with you, let's go!
Now... What they're gonna do? What will happen on the World Cup? Who will play with who? How Veegie will act? Will Bulma fix the time machine? You'll know soon in another chapter of Time Goes By!!! *Mexican wave* lol ^_~
