Chapter 6
Chapter Name: Figures, Flying...and Super Slippers!

Bulma had fell asleep on the couch and woke up around 2pm.

"Oh Bulma dear! You are finally awake! Goodness, you really can sleep!" Mrs. Brief's voice said cheerfully.

Bulma sat up, stretched and gave a big contented yawn. She noticed someone, probably her mother, had covered a blanket over her.

"I'm gonna go up to shower."

She walked up to her room and smiled when she remembered how Vegeta had apologized to her.

"That man...," Bulma chuckled. "half a year ago, I swear he wouldn't even think about apologizing to anyone...well he would but in a sarcastic way."

She took out a white shirt with "Bulma" written in front and a pair of jeans, and fresh underwear of course.

Suddenly she noticed that the shoe box with the medicine in it was gone. It was left on the bed the night before but someone took it. Who?!...oh..Vegeta..

Just the thought of Vegeta brightend her mood dramatically. She stood there for a moment. "Well...I always thought he was attractive...it really wouldn't hurt to have a harmless crush..." she murmured.

But...what about that vow you made? You can't risk getting hurt again...Hmmph! Its not like I'll get into a relationship with him! Hell would freeze over before he likes me. So I have nothing to worry about! Yeah! Its just a harmless temporary crush! She smiled.

Back in the gravity room

Vegeta had took the disgraceful box and blasted it into nothing. Then he resumed his training. He didn't know why he bothered to even talk to her but he was intrigued by her. She was always full of surprises, not afraid of him, and had the biggest mouth in the universe.

He glanced at the watch on his wrist for a moment. Then he chuckled.
"I would have a lot of fun with her..but not now."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2 months later...

It is the beginning of December. For the past months, Bulma never saw Vegeta. At the end of October, He had took a ship and blasted away from earth. AGAIN.

Bulma's dad had sighed with relief that he didn't have to fix the gravity machine again.

"The boy's got some good inside of him alright, I can tell. I also kind of admire him...although he is really overdoing the whole training thing." He commented.

"Oh dad really?"

"Yup."

"You know I sometimes wonder what happened to him when he was young." Bulma said thoughfully.

"From what I know, the poor boy's whole race was destroyed. And then working for the monster that destroyed it...well it kind of sums up why he is the way he is." Mrs. Briefs put in.

"Yeah, well he'll never admit THAT even if he is being tortured to death." Bulma scoffed.

"You can say that again. Its his pride." Mr. Briefs said before getting up to go to a meeting in one of the white dome shaped buildings around their home.

Mrs. Briefs decided to go read in her bedroom.

Bulma was left alone. She pondered about what her parents said.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Middle of March...8pm

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! A Capsule Corp ship landed in the front lawn.

Vegeta stepped out and he had a satisfied smirk on his face.

Mrs. Briefs and Bulma ran out to see what happend. "I'm telling you mom, its probably just one of the experiments!" Bulma was saying. Then she saw Vegeta standing there "Forget what I said Mom."

Vegeta walked up to the two women and they just stood there in silence for a moment.

"I see you're back." Bulma broke the silence.

"Oooooh Vegeta! I didn't know you would return today! I would've prepared something for you!" Mrs. Briefs gushed.

Bulma rolled her eyes and couldn't understand why her parents like Vegeta so much. Hey, you have a crush on him, so who's talkin? Bulma grinned evily.

"Like always Vegeta, I'm not surprised that you stink like hell whenever you come back from space. Why is that? Is it because besides earth, nobody has invented SOAP yet? Go wash Vegeta! You smell worse than last time!" Bulma exclaimed, pointing to the yellow dome building behind her.

Vegeta scowled at her. Same as ever. he thought.

He stomped into the building and went to shower in his room.

When he came back out with a towel around his waist, his door went "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!"

"Woman. I am not properly dressed. Go away."

"Then GET dressed!"

Vegeta growled and put on his usual black shorts and a white muscle shirt.

"Come in if you want to see me that badly, you stupid baka!"

"WHAT makes YOU think I want to see you THAT badly?" she stormed in, slamming the door behind her.

"Its obvious." he stated calmly, sitting on the bed, his back propped up against the headboard with a pillow, fingers clasped behind his head.

"Where were you!?"

"Why do you care?"

"Because-b-because.." Bulma stammered, her mind blank for once.

Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "Because?" he asked, amused.

Bulma found herself blushing lightly like a young schoolgirl in front of her crush.

"Nothing.."

"Have you tried to strangle or stab yourself while I was gone? You have haven't you."

"Um...no. I didn't try to kill myself in any way, Vegeta. The thought never crossed my mind. I was waiting for you to come back."

Silence.

Bulma felt so uncomfortable. She had blurted out that last sentence.
Oh yay...I think I just boosted his ego even more. Now...that i-am-lord-of-the-universe smirk is gonna show in 3...2...

Vegeta smirked. Bulma groaned inwardly. Time for a subject change.

"So what did you do while in space?"

Vegeta didn't know why, but he wanted to show Bulma what he had accomplished, at long last.
He couldn't do that inside his room though, Bulma would have a fit if he wrecked the place.

"Follow me." he started to get out of bed but Bulma held out a hand to keep him there.

"Wait a minute there Vegeta, where are you leading me?"

Vegeta glared. This woman is so fustrating. Everthing had to be explained to her.

"Outside."

"Isn't it faster to go out this way?" Bulma gestured toward the balcony.

Vegeta looked at the balcony, looked back at Bulma, looked at the balcony and then stared at Bulma again.

"You want to jump off balconies now?!" he muttered.

Bulma swore she was so angry she could've jumped him and punched him rite there.

"Vegeta. USE YOU BRAIN...if you have one that is...YOU CAN FLY. I always wanted to experience how flying is. Can't you fly me outside?"

"I will NOT carry you."

Bulma pouted. "Onegai Vegeta?" (Onegai = Please)

"Iie!" (Iie = No)

"Forget it. If you want to know what I have been doing all this time, then take the trip downstairs to the lawn...besides," he paused, eyes glittering evily, "you could use the exercise."

Bulma's eyes widened. "I HAVE A PERFECTLY GOOD FIGURE. I AM NOT FAT, YOU JERK! ASK ANYONE! OR GO GET YOUR EYES CHECKED! IF YOU CAN SEE NORMALLY, THEN YOU SHOULD SEE I HAVE A SEXY, IRRISISTABLE BODY!" she roared.

Vegeta fell back onto the bed, laughing loudly, holding his stomach.

"MOU!! BAKA! FORGET IT, I DON'T CARE!" Bulma turned and stomped to the door, on the way, she tripped, one of her slippers flew off and landed on her head. "KUSO!!!!!!!!!" she shouted, with her butt in the air.(properly dressed, you hentai's)

That made Vegeta laugh even harder.

"ohhhhhhhh SHUT UP! YOU SADIST!!!!!" Bulma stood up and righted herself.

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Nan de mo." he sat up.

"Don't ~nan de mo~ me Vegeta!" She went out of her room and slammed the door. Another slam was heard as she went to her own room.

Vegeta's face suddenly grew serious, staring at his shut door. "You never been flying huh." he said softly. "We'll have to do something about that...don't we."
