Chapter 6
"FORCES UNITE"
"You australopithecine!" Vegeta snarled at Gohan during one of their daily quarrels.
Gohan blinked, then gritted his as he snapped, "Well...you're more australopithecine than I am!"
Vegeta put his hands on his hips and let out a hearty laugh, then sneered at Gohan as if he were superior, "I bet you don't even know the meaning of the word."
"It's probably some stupid Saiyan word," Gohan flared embarrassed and upset.
"Actually, it's very much human," Vegeta continued to sneer.
"Listen, I don't care about your stupid fancy words," Gohan barked.
"It must suck to be so stupid," Vegeta said.
"Why you...!" Gohan hissed right before he heard someone clear their throat behind them.
The boys turned around and saw Bulma and Goku standing on the coblestone path.
"If you guys are going to fight, can you do it somewhere else?" Goku crossed his arms, "We're itrying/i to sleep."
"We?" Gohan looked from Bulma to Goku, "since when do you need a 'we' to sleep?"
Goku grew very angry as words began to fluster, "stop trying to be cute Gohan."
"It was a simple question," Gohan muttered.
"Well...could you guys just please keep it down, please?" Bulma asked as politely as she could.
"Yeah, yeah, sure, sure," Gohan folded his arms behind his head quite rudely.
Vegeta glared at Gohan, but before anything could be said his watch alarm went on and he ran inside screaming, "ROOOOOOAD RULLLLLES!"
"Moron," Gohan murmured right before Goku shot him an evil look.
"Well, that should keep it quiet for at least five hours," Bulma smiled at Goku.
"Hrm? Five hours? That show lasts that long???" Goku asked.
"Of course not," Bulma laughed going inside, "Vegeta's an MTV junkie, he's going to be a potatoe until dinner."
"Oh," Goku blinked, then followed her, "Hey! I want some potatoes!"
Gohan sighed as he walked out the picket fence and down the street, "I'm surrounded by morons."
Goten walked into the living room as Vegeta watched the TV like a zombie. Casually he picked up the remote and without warning turned off the TV.
Vegeta's eyes widened in horror, then turned a fiery red as he turned to the miniature Goku, "I'LL KILL YOU!"
"What
ever," Goten replied, then said, "I have a proposition for you."
Vegeta turned the TV back on and guarded the remote as he ignored Goten.
"Listen to me!" Goten demanded.
"Go away," Vegeta replied annoyed.
"LISTEN!" Goten shouted again.
"I said scram pip squeak!" Vegeta yelled.
"Listenlistenlistenlistenlisten!" Goten threw a tantrum on the floor.
"FINE!" Vegeta snapped muting the television, immediately shutting Goten up.
Goten cleared his throat and sat on the couch, "it's come to my attention that you like the idea of Miss Bulma being with my Dad as much as I do--which isn't very much."
"Yeah...so what? This is a NEW episode ya know, I don't have time for stupidity," Vegeta spoke without intrest to whatever Goten was getting at.
"Well, since we both see eye to eye on this, why don't we divise a plan to put an end to it?" Goten smirked evilly.
"How old are you?" Vegeta looked at Goten.
"Eight..." Goten blinked, not understanding how this had anything to do with what he was talking about.
"An eight-year-old Earth boy divising plans, well homo sapians get smarter everyday," Vegeta watched at the muted screen.
"Whatever, look, if we can pull this off our lives can go back to normal and we'll never have to look at, or speak to, or hear each other again."
Vegeta scowled suddenly, normal. Did this brat honestly think that he could make things go back to "normal"? And even if he could, Yamcha was not going to set one foot in this house again. Not if he wanted to live.
"I don't want things to go back to normal," Vegeta said without feeling, "I can't say I like things now, but I don't want them to be the way they were, not with what I know now."
Goten's eyes darkened as he looked down, "Why not?"
"Because I hate Yamcha."
"Do you hate my mom for what she's done?"
"Of course I do," Vegeta replied as if it were obvious and looked at Goten, "I hate anyone who hurts Bulma."
"That's how I feel about my mom Vegeta," Goten's eyes remained dark as he hugged his knees to his chest, "would you feel the same if your Mom and my Mom switched places?"
"She's not my Mom," Vegeta said sternly.
"You know what I meant," Goten said monotone.
"Yes."
"Then why can't you understand me!?" Goten flared looking at Vegeta with tear filled eyes, "I believe in my mother...I'm sure that why ever she did this was for a good reason....I'm sure of it!"
Vegeta blink dumbfounded, what if it had been the other way around? He blinked again to wash the thought away. He was tired of people thinking of the "what ifs" in situations. It is what it is and that's all it will ever be. Bulma would never do what Chi-chi did and Goku's not chomp enough to be like Yamcha. It wouldn't happen. It couldn't happen. And if it did, Vegeta wouldn't be left behind, Bulma loved him--he knew she did.
Then it dawned on him. Was that not what Goten obviously believed? That his mother loved and cared for him? That she was not capable of this crime and evil? All he wanted was his mother back, as Vegeta would want Bulma back if she had gone away.
Vegeta looked at Goten deep in thought, "What did you have in mind?"
Bulma brushed her long blue hair as she looked in the mirror of her dresser. Goku snuck in behind her. By the time she realized he was there he had her in a big hug and kissed the top of her head.
"Goku," Bulma turned to him surprised with his acts of love and affection.
He smiled and told her to turn back around, then as she watched him in the mirror he said, "I know this is cliché...Titanic sort of stuff...but we've been living together for quite sometime and I just wanted to say--" he took out a silver necklace with a clear round amulet and put it on her as she stared into the mirror in awe. It turned a glowing shade of baby blue as soon as it was on Bulma, "hey it works, that means you're happy."
One of those silly mood necklaces Bulma thought with a smile and turned around to Goku, "what did you just want to say Goku?"
That I love you, Goku wanted to say, that I always have; that I admire how you've put up with me all those year. That admire your strength, courage, and the bravery you have when your skills are needed when it's needed the most. I love the way you laugh, the glare you give me when I curse, your sense of humour, the way you talk, the way you walk, the way you...well the way you do everything. I was always afraid you wouldn't feel the same, but I can't hold it in anymore Bulma. With all my heart and being I love you.
Instead, all that came out was, "I just wanted to say, I'm happy that we're friends."
"Oh," the necklace stopped glowing as Bulma looked down in slight disappointed. She smiled at Goku and it glowed again, "me too Goku."
Bulma turned her head to look out the window. Goku leaned in to give Bulma a kiss on the cheek while at the same time Bulma turned her head to him about to ask him something. Before they both could realize what was about to happen their lips met and both their eyes widened.
Goku flew backwards, wide-eyed and bright red as Bulma blinked as well blushing; the only thing holding her up was her dresser as her knees began to cave.
"Bulma I...well erm...I uh..." Goku stammered, eventually just fleeing the room.
How could a small kindergarten kiss make me feel this way?! They both shouted in their heads.
He smelled good, Bulma smiled faintly as she blushed laying on her bed, and his lips are sure soft...
"Stupid...moron...you idiot monkey!" Goku yelled pacing in his room right before cursing himself out in Sayian, "Not only did you NOT tell her what you REALLY wanted to say, but you freaked out over a kiss a kid Goten's age could top!"
Goku looked at his red complexion in the mirror and got even angrier with himself.
"Fine," he shouted at his own complexion, "you want something to freak out over, how about you try this on for size!"
And he stomped out the door only pausing once to look down at his crotch and say, "and you! You listen to me mister! You better be good! Bulma doesn't need any of your trouble..."
He knocked on Bulma's door and as she opened it he took her by the hand and pulled her close to him.
"Goku," Bulma managed to get out wide-eyed with shock write before Goku kissed her passionately just as Goten and Vegeta reached the top of the stairway.
Goten screamed at the top of his lungs as Vegeta blinked dumbfounded, mouth wide open.
Goku froze, wide-eyed with his lips still locked with Bulma's (who had no idea what the hell was going on).
Goten's eyes welled with fury and sadness as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Goku pulled away from Bulma, "Goten wait..."
"YOU LIIIIIAR!!!" Goten screamed powering up a ki blast and throwing it at Bulma and Goku. Goku blocked Bulma by standing in front of her. He caught the ki blast in his hands and Bulma stepped aside as the blast pushed Goku backwards. He clapped his hands together and the energy bomb dispersed. Goten growled as he charged at Goku with a flying punch, which Goku easily blocked. Goten began to throw random attacks, but Goku continued to block easily. Then Goten made his last attack and Goku backed up squeezing his bloody nose where Goten had just punched him.
Goten roared as he ran at Goku and rammed him in the stomach with his head slamming Goku against a wall with all the wind knocked out of them. Goten then ran to his room, eyes dark as tears streamed down his face.
Vegeta, who had been watching the whole thing, remained dumbfounded as he saw Bulma run over to Goku and tend to his nose. It's not going to work, he thought watching as Bulma mothered Goku, the kid's plan isn't going to work...it's too late.
"I don't know what I was thinking Bulma," Goku said as she cleaned his nose up, "I'm sorry."
She stopped and looked into his eyes, "it's okay."
He looked down and shook his head as Bulma cleaned up, "no, it's not."
She smiled as she placed a hand on his cheek, "it's fine."
He took her hand and kissed it, and then smiled slightly, "at least you know how I feel about you now."
Bulma pulled her hand away as she went pale and started out the bathroom.
"And at least now I know you don't feel the same," Goku muttered looking down.
Bulma turned around the necklace glowing a passionate blue, "Goku."
Goku looked up at her.
She smiled, "I never said that I didn't feel the same."
Goku blinked as he watched Bulma walk to her room.
**NOTE** still short, but better isn't it??? I hope this makes you people happy!!!!
