Hola! here is Chapter 5. In this chapter I would like to make notice
of one of my reviewers. Sailorfangirl, thank you so much for reviewing my
chapters. You make me feel really appricated for my writing. I think I will
make more songs into my stories like from the last chapter and I'm sorry
for making cliffhangers, it keeps people to keep on reading. Anyway, high
school is evil. Also, to the readers, I'll bet you didn't see this one
coming from a mile away for who is at the door. Like I said, it's not
Kakarott.(I was rolling with laughter when I thought of this) Here's the
chapter.
::I don't own Dragonball Z or the songs mentioned and or written::
The person at the door was a mailboy.(1) He was delivering an invitation to a ball in two days. Bardock read the invitation carefully. It was inviting everyone to come to a party in the Imperial city. He figured he would have to question Vegeta about it. At that moment, the said person walked into the kitchen, stretching. "You seemed to have had a restful sleep," he said, startling him. "Don't worry, I won't tell if you won't." Vegeta seemed to relax. "Though, I would like you to answer something." "Okay," he said, sitting down, "Shoot." Vegeta had become to live with Bardock like a second father. Bardock showed Vegeta the invitation. He looked it over and gasped. "My parents' anniversery, I completely forgot!" he exclaimed. "Something wrong?" "The ball is probably for my parents' wedding anniversery and I'm supposed to be there." "So why not go?" "Because if I go, Freiza might be there ready & waiting. I can't take that chance." "But what about your parents? They might miss you right now and still waiting for you to come home." "I know, I miss them too, but..." "Maybe you can go without being recongized?" "How? Practically everyone in the city will know me once they get a good look at me." "Not if they don't look at you," Bardock said, with a plan forming in his head. Vegeta gave the man a quizzical look. "What do you mean if they don't look at me?" "Just dress like you would for a party but change your image a bit. Almost like you've been doing here, pretend to be someone else." Vegeta thought for a moment. "Are you sure this is going to work?" "Who knows?" Bardock answered, doing a 'who knows' gesture. "I just hope for the country's sake your right," he sighed. "Then maybe afterward, you can find your parents and speak with them," Bardock suggested. "Yeah, that would be great," Vegeta said, sighing again. "What are you guys talking about?" Bulma asked as she entered the room, startling them both. "Bulma what are you doing here!?" "Uh, I live here?"she said, giving Vegeta a puzzuled look. "What's this?" She read it over and had stars in her eyes. "Wow! A ball in the Imperial city, can we go papa, please?" Bardock looked to Vegeta for an agreement. He gave the affirmative. "Yes, Bulma, we'll go," he said smiling. Bulma hugged her father and went to her room to pick out the perfect kimona and accessories. Vegeta looked like he just saw the scarest thing in the world. "You think you've had it bad, just try living with 4 of them." Vegeta shuddered in response. They both laughed.
After Bulma had picked out her kimona(and accessories), they left for the Imperial city. Just by some strange stroke of luck, Kakarott & Chichi were invited as well. Chichi & Bulma talked most of the way. Bardock drove the cart they were riding in with their horse, Zeus. Kakarott & Vegeta just rode in silence. It was a few hours before they arrived in the city. They found an inn to rest and freshen up for the night ahead. After they were well rested, they got ready. Vegeta was wearing a beautiful blue silk robe and pants to match. The sash was light baby blue and black shoes to top it off. He looked like he could be a rich land owner, but plain enough not to be considered a prince. Bardock & Kakarott wore similar things except Kakarott's was orange and Bardock's was red. Then it was the girls turn to enter. Chichi was wearing a yellow flower kimona with her hair down and a slight curl at the end. She had a fan in hand. She was beautiful to charm any man, Kakarott especially. Then it was Bulma's turn. She was wearing a pink kimona gown with butterflies. Her hair was silky and sparkled in the light. Her skin was creamy and silky as well. She too had a fan to match her dress. She looked like she could be wife for a prince or a king(she does eventually). Vegeta looked like he just saw an angel. He blinked twice to make sure he wasn't imaging this dream come true. It wasn't a dream, it was a reality. "You ready to go?" she asked. Vegeta stuttered(2) "Ye yeah...we should get going," he stuttered, while taking her arm in his.
They walked out to the palace. There was a slight chill in the air, so Vegeta put his arm around Bulma to keep her warm(3) They arrived at the palace as planned and went inside. Vegeta instantly saw his parents. He noticed his mother looked very sad. It broke his heart to see his mother this way. He was the cause of her pain. He wanted so badly to go up there and comfort her. His father put his arm around her to console her. She went into his embrace openheartedly. Vegeta was about go up there to tell his mother he was here and everything was alright, but in reality he couldn't without everyone seeing him and revealing his true idenity. He would have to later. Bardock saw the display and put his hand on Vegeta's shoulder and smiled warmly. Vegeta nodded. Now, all he had to enjoy the ball as much as he can without being noticed. Bulma seemed to take a liking to the palace. Though she saw Vegeta's face when he saw the sadness in the queen. She too felt sorry for her, but had no idea why. She decided to let it drop, for now. She had wanted to come here and to enjoy the ball. Then the songs started. They played 'Larger than life,' by the Backstreet Boys, 'Floor filler,' by the A*teens and 'Believer' by Smash Mouth(1) The slow songs then started.
When winter comes in summer, When there's no more forever, That's when I'll stop loving you,
Queen Katerina had cheered up as much as much as she could, to dance with her king on their anniversery.
I'm sure you've heard these words before, And I know it's hard for you to trust them once more, Your afraid it all might end, And a broken heart, is scared of breaking again,
But you've got to believe me, I'll never leave and, You'll never cry unless I am there, And I will always be there, you'll never be alone,
Vegeta was beginning to get uncomfortable with his parents being near him, and them not knowing it. Bulma noticed and took his arm onto the dance floor and danced to the slow beat
When winter comes in summer, When there's no more forever, When lies become the truth, Oh you know then baby, that's when I'll stop loving you,
Queen Katerina seemed almost better dancing with King Vegeta, though she greatly missed her son. King Vegeta pulled her closer in comfort while still dancing. He too missed their son and why he was missing one of the most important occasions in their lives.
Long as sunlight lights the sky, Light our love will be found in these eyes of mine, And I will shine that light for you, Your the only one that I'll give this heart to, What I'm trying to say is nothing will change this, You will find me there 'cause I'll always be there, You will always have all my love,
Unknown to them, Vegeta & Bulma were dancing right beside them. Vegeta didn't seem to notice. He just seemed to be intuned with dancing, even if everyone noticed that Vegeta was dancing exactly like the king.
When winter comes in summer, When there's no more forever, When lies become the truth, Well you know then baby, that's when I stop loving you,
Queen Katerina thought she saw someone familar dancing next to her but didn't see him very well. She thought it looked like her son, Vegeta.
When this world doesn't turn anymore, When the stars decide to stop shining, Till then, I'm gonna be by your side, I'm gonna be lovin you forever, everyday of my life,
She then got a better look at him and gasped in surprise. Her son was here after all. She smiled happily that her son had returned and brought a friend with him, it seemed. King Vegeta looked at her with a puzzled at her gasp. She nodded her head in Vegeta's direction and King Vegeta looked at what his wife had seen before. There was Vegeta, dancing exactly him, with a beautiful young woman in his arms. He himself smiled that his son had come. He secretly blessed them for coming.
Well you know then baby, that's when I stop loving you,
Out of nowhere, Vegeta sneezed(4) "Bless you," Bulma said quietly. Vegeta began dancing again.
When winter comes in summer, When there's no more forever, When lies become the truth, Well you know then baby, that's when I stop loving you,
King Vegeta heard the sneeze and smiled inwardly and kept dancing with his Queen.
When winter comes in summer, When there's no more forever, When lies become the truth, Well you know then baby, that's when I stop loving you,
That's when I stop loving you
The song ended and everyone took a break to get a drink or take a rest from dancing. Vegeta led Bulma to a couch so she could rest for a little bit. He walked away to get drinks for them. Just as Bulma was beginning to rest, she heard and saw the one person she didn't want to be with this night. Yamcha. She scowled him with a look not too much unlike her date's. "Come on sweetheart, what's with the sourface?" he asked like he was talking to a child, while giving her puppy dog eyes(5) "Cut the sweet talk Yamcha, you know it's not going to work on me," she said, turning her head from him. Yamcha was surprised. The puppy dog look usually never fails. He got angry. "Look, Bulma," he said, putting as much emphasis on Bulma's name as possible, then suductivly,"I came here to enjoy myself, I think I'll never have fun without you." Then the queen walked up. "I'm very sorry to interrupt your fun, but I believe, if my eyes didn't decieve me, I saw her here with someone else earlier this evening," she said smiling, and startling Yamcha. "Your highness, I didn't see you there,"he stuttered. "I'll believe that. Leave us," she said, motioning him to leave immediatly. He oblinged. Queen Katerina turned to Bulma. "I was nearby and heard everything. You must hate that man," "Yes, your majesty," she started. "Please, call me Katerina. I really don't like it when I'm called so formally, unless I'm startling a person, like just now.""Yes, Katerina, well I hate that man more than the lowest of scum in all of Japan and lower than that." "That doesn't sound like a nice thing about a person," she said, curious. "Not Yamcha, he practically bankrupted my father a long time ago when I was little unless I was to wed to him when I was older," Bulma said with sadness in her eyes. The queen gasped in surprise. "I had hoped all my life to find a better man to wed instead of Yamcha, but nothing, and I can't live with my father forever, so what choice do I have?" The queen felt sorry for her, she had went through something similar before she meet King Vegeta. "I think you have nothing to worry about," Queen Katerina said. Bulma looked at her curiously. "When I was about your age, I had a similar problem. I had to go find the perfect man, if posible mind you,"(6) she said smiling. Bulma smiled as well. "What happened?" Bulma asked, now excited. "Well, I had about one hundred to choose from that day, along with my long time friend." Bulma's eyes went wide at the mention of how many men to choose that day. "ONE HUNDRED!" "Yes, one hundred." "But how did you find the king?" "Well, me and my friend had gotten tired, so we decided to rest under a shady tree. Then the king walked up with his friend and asked if they could sit down with us. I said sure they could sit with us. They asked who we were and we asked them. That's how I had met King Vegeta, when he was still a prince. Of course I was scared to death sitting next to the prince of our entire country and I guess he sort of noticed. I guess he want to know me better and for me to stop being scared of him. So he got me worked up in anger and I did one of the things I probably would have regretted the rest of my life if I didn't marry the king," she paused for dramatic effect. Bulma had been curious ever since the story started. "What did you do?" "I wiped that insideious smirk right off of his face. I slapped him as hard as I could then out of anger." Bulma looked at the woman in horror. She had slapped the future king of their entire country! "You know it's funny, that if you looked closely enough, you can still lightly see the indention of my fingers in his right cheek." "But how did he take that?" "You know, it was the strangest thing. He smirked again and told me that you didn't have to be afraid of him, just see him as a regular person and not as prince. We became good friends after that and wed eventually and that is in a nutshell how I became the queen of my entire country," she concluded. Bulma was astonished. The queen had gone though that, and she thought she had problems. "I really don't have anything to say, Katerina," "You don't have to. If you do decide to wed the scum of the earth, it is your decison, and you have my sympathy, and if you wed someone else that is much better, you have my support,"she said, leaving. "Thank you," Bulma said to her new retreating friend. Vegeta had finally decided to return. He was listening to the conversation between his mother and Bulma and prayed over and over that she wouldn't spill about him being a prince. She had not and had heard about how his mother had met his father. He was as anxious as Bulma. He had never heard the story told like that or his mother hitting his father. He had been really surprised at that. As soon as Freiza was defeated, he would have to look at his father's right cheek carefully to confirm the story. "Vegeta, nice to see that you've returned," Bulma said, finally noticing his presence. "Yeah, that line was long," he fibbed, giving Bulma her drink, then sitting down himself. When they finished, they went to the dance floor. Another slow song started.
When the visions around you, Bring tears to your eyes, And all that surround you Are secrets & lies
Vegeta began wondering if he should leave soon, Freiza could be here, watching him. He looked at Bulma. She had just met his mother and they liked each other pretty well. And his mother liked her, his father would like her too. All he had to do was hope.
I'll be your strength I'll give you hope Keeping your faith when it's gone The one you should call Was standing here all along
And I will take you in my arms And hold you right where you belong 'Til the day my life is through This I promise you This I promise you
Queen Katerina had really like the girl that her son was with, but she had forgot to ask her name. Maybe she can find out later
I've loved you forever In lifetimes before And I promise you never Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word I give you my heart This is a battle we've won And with this vow Forever has now begun
For some odd reason, Vegeta began to think about the lyrics of the song that was playing currently. It somehow described his love for Bulma. He would give her anything her heart desired that was in his power. He pulled her closer so that he put his chin on heer head. Bulma greatly accepted.
Just close your eyes Each lovin' day And I know this feeling won't go away 'Til the day my life is through This I promise you This I promise you
Over and over I fall When I hear you call Without you in my life, baby I just wouldn't be living at all
Vegeta seemed to enjoy the moment more than he intended to but didn't take any heed of it. Unbeknowest to them, The king & queen were watching the emotional display, smiling greatly. The queen had told the king about girl that was dancing with their son. He seem to come to the same idea to liking the girl. He then, copying his son, took his queen in closer.
And I will take you in my arms And hold you right where you belong 'Til the day my life is through This I promise you, baby
Just close your eyes Each lovin' day And I know this feeling won't go away Every word I say is true This I promise you Every word I say is true This I promise you I promise you
At the end of the last verse, Vegeta couldn't stand it any longer. He gently lifted Bulma's chin with palm up to his lips and softly kissed her. The queen had stars in her eyes from the romance in the room. The king smiled proudly to his son. Unfortantly, the tender moment was going to be very short lived. "Now there is a picture worth a million," a cold voice said. Vegeta looked to see who said that. He eyes turned from anger to pure terror at this creature. He had wished that this creature had not gone and ruined his precious moment. That person who had filled the bravest of souls with terror. The person who had terrorized countries and towns alike. That person was Freiza.
I feel so evil that I somehow scare myself. I just had to go and ruin a perfect moment. Anyway, those numbers in this chapter are footnotes that I'm going to put here. (1)The mailboy, like I said, was not Kakarott, but it was Gohan from the future. I don't even have the slightest idea how that came to pass because my counterpart, Bulmagenius, came up with it. Anyway (2) Insider's joke, Vegeta, the great prince of all the sayians, stuttering would be funny. (3) It's a kodak moment! Big clique there, but useful. (4) I heard somewhere that if you sneeze for no good reason, someone is talking about you behind your back, and your somewhat close to that person. (5) I'm starting a coalition in my reviewers to say that Yamcha is very pathetic. Not really, I'm just saying that Yamcha is pathetic and desperate. Anyone who agrees, tell me in your reviews.(6)Another insider's joke. and I am very serious about it. Anyway, why is Freiza there? That is probably a big duh there and why did he have to go and ruin Vegeta's moment? All in the next chapter as soon as I come up with it. I almost forgot to mention the lyrics. The songs are both by *NSYNC. The top one is 'That's when I'll stop loving you' and the other is 'This I promise you.' The songs may have nothing to do with story but they are good songs and I know it may be hard to believe , but I actually like*NSYNC. Till next chapter!

The person at the door was a mailboy.(1) He was delivering an invitation to a ball in two days. Bardock read the invitation carefully. It was inviting everyone to come to a party in the Imperial city. He figured he would have to question Vegeta about it. At that moment, the said person walked into the kitchen, stretching. "You seemed to have had a restful sleep," he said, startling him. "Don't worry, I won't tell if you won't." Vegeta seemed to relax. "Though, I would like you to answer something." "Okay," he said, sitting down, "Shoot." Vegeta had become to live with Bardock like a second father. Bardock showed Vegeta the invitation. He looked it over and gasped. "My parents' anniversery, I completely forgot!" he exclaimed. "Something wrong?" "The ball is probably for my parents' wedding anniversery and I'm supposed to be there." "So why not go?" "Because if I go, Freiza might be there ready & waiting. I can't take that chance." "But what about your parents? They might miss you right now and still waiting for you to come home." "I know, I miss them too, but..." "Maybe you can go without being recongized?" "How? Practically everyone in the city will know me once they get a good look at me."

Queen Katerina had cheered up as much as much as she could, to dance with her king on their anniversery.
I'm sure you've heard these words before, And I know it's hard for you to trust them once more, Your afraid it all might end, And a broken heart, is scared of breaking again,
But you've got to believe me, I'll never leave and, You'll never cry unless I am there, And I will always be there, you'll never be alone,
Vegeta was beginning to get uncomfortable with his parents being near him, and them not knowing it. Bulma noticed and took his arm onto the dance floor and danced to the slow beat

The song ended and everyone took a break to get a drink or take a rest from dancing. Vegeta led Bulma to a couch so she could rest for a little bit. He walked away to get drinks for them. Just as Bulma was beginning to rest, she heard and saw the one person she didn't want to be with this night. Yamcha. She scowled him with a look not too much unlike her date's.

Yamcha was surprised. The puppy dog look usually never fails. He got angry. "Look, Bulma," he said, putting as much emphasis on Bulma's name as possible, then suductivly,"I came here to enjoy myself, I think I'll never have fun without you." Then the queen walked up. "I'm very sorry to interrupt your fun, but I believe, if my eyes didn't decieve me, I saw her here with someone else earlier this evening," she said smiling, and startling Yamcha.

"Well, I had about one hundred to choose from that day, along with my long time friend." Bulma's eyes went wide at the mention of how many men to choose that day. "ONE HUNDRED!" "Yes, one hundred." "But how did you find the king?" "Well, me and my friend had gotten tired, so we decided to rest under a shady tree. Then the king walked up with his friend and asked if they could sit down with us. I said sure they could sit with us. They asked who we were and we asked them. That's how I had met King Vegeta, when he was still a prince.

When the visions around you, Bring tears to your eyes, And all that surround you Are secrets & lies
Vegeta began wondering if he should leave soon, Freiza could be here, watching him. He looked at Bulma. She had just met his mother and they liked each other pretty well. And his mother liked her, his father would like her too. All he had to do was hope.
I'll be your strength I'll give you hope Keeping your faith when it's gone The one you should call Was standing here all along
And I will take you in my arms And hold you right where you belong 'Til the day my life is through This I promise you This I promise you
Queen Katerina had really like the girl that her son was with, but she had forgot to ask her name. Maybe she can find out later
I've loved you forever In lifetimes before And I promise you never Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word I give you my heart This is a battle we've won And with this vow Forever has now begun
For some odd reason, Vegeta began to think about the lyrics of the song that was playing currently. It somehow described his love for Bulma. He would give her anything her heart desired that was in his power. He pulled her closer so that he put his chin on heer head. Bulma greatly accepted.
Just close your eyes Each lovin' day And I know this feeling won't go away 'Til the day my life is through This I promise you This I promise you
Over and over I fall When I hear you call Without you in my life, baby I just wouldn't be living at all
Vegeta seemed to enjoy the moment more than he intended to but didn't take any heed of it. Unbeknowest to them, The king & queen were watching the emotional display, smiling greatly. The queen had told the king about girl that was dancing with their son. He seem to come to the same idea to liking the girl. He then, copying his son, took his queen in closer.
And I will take you in my arms And hold you right where you belong 'Til the day my life is through This I promise you, baby
Just close your eyes Each lovin' day And I know this feeling won't go away Every word I say is true This I promise you Every word I say is true This I promise you I promise you
At the end of the last verse, Vegeta couldn't stand it any longer. He gently lifted Bulma's chin with palm up to his lips and softly kissed her. The queen had stars in her eyes from the romance in the room. The king smiled proudly to his son. Unfortantly, the tender moment was going to be very short lived. "Now there is a picture worth a million," a cold voice said. Vegeta looked to see who said that. He eyes turned from anger to pure terror at this creature. He had wished that this creature had not gone and ruined his precious moment. That person who had filled the bravest of souls with terror. The person who had terrorized countries and towns alike. That person was Freiza.
I feel so evil that I somehow scare myself. I just had to go and ruin a perfect moment. Anyway, those numbers in this chapter are footnotes that I'm going to put here. (1)The mailboy, like I said, was not Kakarott, but it was Gohan from the future. I don't even have the slightest idea how that came to pass because my counterpart, Bulmagenius, came up with it. Anyway (2) Insider's joke, Vegeta, the great prince of all the sayians, stuttering would be funny. (3) It's a kodak moment! Big clique there, but useful. (4) I heard somewhere that if you sneeze for no good reason, someone is talking about you behind your back, and your somewhat close to that person. (5) I'm starting a coalition in my reviewers to say that Yamcha is very pathetic. Not really, I'm just saying that Yamcha is pathetic and desperate. Anyone who agrees, tell me in your reviews.(6)Another insider's joke. and I am very serious about it. Anyway, why is Freiza there? That is probably a big duh there and why did he have to go and ruin Vegeta's moment? All in the next chapter as soon as I come up with it. I almost forgot to mention the lyrics. The songs are both by *NSYNC. The top one is 'That's when I'll stop loving you' and the other is 'This I promise you.' The songs may have nothing to do with story but they are good songs and I know it may be hard to believe , but I actually like*NSYNC. Till next chapter!
