~The Him And Her Situation~
Chapter 25 -- One Down, Six To Go

Vegeta rubbed his stomach feeling he was all full and set till tonight. He sighed slightly at the clock, it was only 3:32 and they had hours to kill. He wondered on what he could do to past the time, there wasn't that much space in the jet to move around so talk seemed the best choice for now.

"So what's at Yunzabit Height besides the Dragonball?" vegeta spoke as he rested his arms behind his head and looked over at Bulma.

Bulma looked up from a gage she was looking at and sighed. "Nothing. For what I know it's cold and now one lives up there. Well maybe some people do but not many. That's not much plant life besides grass so there's not much for food. The people who do live up there I heard are fishermen so there all by the coast."

Vegeta frowned slightly. "Well hopefully we wont have to stay there long."

Bulma rolled her eyes a bit. "Ya I know I just want to get the ball and head to the next one if we can. I've heard stories about up there, I wouldn't want to stay long there."

Vegeta raised a brow. "Stories? Like what?"

Bulma turned and sat on one of her legs and looked right at Vegeta who turned also towards her in a similar fashion. "Well from what I've heard monsters live up there. Not like dinosaurs but like demons and they are able to live up there cause they eat people. You wont see them then BAM! There chewing on your skull!"

Vegeta chuckled a little. "I think I could handle that woman. Demons, Monsters, or whatever could be up there is nothing I couldn't defeat with just a gesture."

Bulma shrugged her shoulders. "What ever you say I guess."

Vegeta glared at her slightly and balled his fists. "What are you saying? That I can't beat what ever creature is up there?"

Bulma brushed him off and looked back at a few gages. "I'm just saying there could be some real trouble up there is all."

Vegeta eyed her then smirked. "Oh is the little woman frighten? Shall I have to save you if a big old demon comes and tries to eat your pretty female flesh?"

Bulma turned back to him and glared with very narrow eyes. "Your pushing it bucko… and no I can take care of myself so naaa!" She stuck her tongue out at him and Vegeta huffed and crossed his arms at her.

"What ever woman just don't expect me to coming running when you scream." he huffed.

Bulma rolled her eyes. "Ya sure I'll make a note of that." she said very dryly.

The two were quite for a moment but that didn't last long as a explosion went off and rocked the jet. Bulma screamed out as the jet jumped and went through a cloud of smoke. When they came out of the other side a huge ball looking ship was in front of them.

"WWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" screamed out Bulma as she grabbed the stick and pulled the jet hard to the left and up.

The jet went flying upward and up and over the ship as gun shots went off behind them. Bulma flew upward and nearly missed guns ahead of them as they soar up and finally over the ship. Bulma leveled out and flipped a switch and smirked at Vegeta.

"Hold on!" she cried out as the two were snapped back in their seats as the jet took off at a new found speed. After 30 seconds there was a low but deep boom sound and the jet finally seemed to stop speeding up. Bulma glanced behind and saw the ship tried to come after them but was failing to keep up with their new speed.

Vegeta blinked and looked at Bulma. "Wha?….how?…who?" he sputtered out.

Bulma just smirked. "Well the what is that was just us breaking the sound barrier. The how is special jet." she winked. "I think I know who that was behind us, god he still hasn't changed the little prick!"

Vegeta eyed her. "Umm don't tell me that was a ex boyfriend or something?"

Bulma let out a little laugh. "Naa That was just some stupid guy named Pilaf. When I first went after the Dragonballs, me and Goku had a run in with him. And plus you're my first boyfriend so that answers that question."

Vegeta smirked slightly. "So does that mean we'll get to see him again?"

Bulma flipped the switch back down and jet started to slow down a bit more. "Umm maybe why?"

Vegeta crossed his arms and looked ahead. "Just wondering."

Bulma frowned a bit. "Your going to kill him huh?"

"Yaup" he said pretty lightly but felt utterly pissed inside for just getting shot at like that.

The jet finally speed down to their original speed they were going at before. Bulma switched on the radar so she could see if Pilaf would try and sneak up on them again. She stretched a little and felt like listening to some music. She bent over and turned on the mp3 player on the dash and adjusted the volume to a decent level.

She plopped back in her chair and looked up at the sky with her arms behind her. Vegeta watched her as she looked up and nodded her head slightly with the music. He wasn't to sure what to do so he just watched her as she started to sing.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I swear sometimes you two have no brains at all. She was RIGHT THERE!! And you STILL missed her!" Pilaf yelled as his two henchmen bowed in front of him.

"But sir!" pleaded Shou.

"BUT NOTHING!! Anyway you can make it up to me when we land. They may have gotten away for now but we are not far behind. But for now…" Pilaf turned around and frowned then smirked.

Shou and Mai looked on in horror as Pilaf pushed a button. Huge arms came from the floor and ceiling and grabbed them. They both cried out but Pilaf only laughed as he grabbed a chainsaw. He pulled the cord and it started up as he walked towards them.

"AHHHHHH!!" cried out Mai and Shou as Pilaf laughed on.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Bat your eyes girl, be other worldly, count your blessings, seduce a stranger. What's so wrong with being happy? Kudos to those who see through sickness, yeaaa… over and over and over and over and oooooOooooOooooo…" sang out Vegeta softly.

After a while the two saw they had similar likes in music and started to basically do karaoke to pass the time. It was odd for Bulma at first to hear Vegeta sing but she was really liking it, his voice had something special in it. She just loved to hear him sing now and by the way Vegeta smirked at her, she knew he liked to hear her as well.

For about a half an hour now they went back and forth singing songs they knew on the mp3 player. Bulma had a stack of memories cards so they had plenty of music to sing along to.

"She woke in the morning, she knew that her life had passed her by. She called out a warning, don't ever let life pass you byyyyy." sang out Vegeta again

Bulma smiled and hopped in on the next verse. "I suggest we learn to love our selves before it's made illegal. What's so wrong with being happy, when will we learn? When will we change? Just in time to see it all come down…. Those left standing, we'll make millions writing books, on the way it should have beennn!" They sung out together.

Bulma stood up and luckily the jet's bubble dome was tall enough for this. "She woke in the morningggg, she knew that her life had passed her byyy. She called out a warning, warninggg! Don't ever let life pass you byyy." She sung out all by herself.

Vegeta smirked and drew her into his lap and smiled at him while she stole his song he was suppose to sing. "I thought I was suppose to sing this one." he said with a playful pout.

Bulma just smirked herself. "I know but I like this song too much. Hehehe" She poked his nose playfully and Vegeta gave her a slight glare.

The music started to pick up again for the ending of the song. "Oooooo she woke in the morning, she knew that her life had passed her by. And she called out a warning, warninggg! Don't ever let life pass you byyyyyyyy, pass you byyyyYyyyyy!!" She sang out the last verse as Vegeta chuckled softly and held her on his lap.

"dum dum dum dummm dum dum dummm" played the last bits of the song.

Vegeta looked deep into Bulma eyes and she caught his gaze and smiled softly. As the music winded down they grew closer and were inches apart as a new soft song started to play. Vegeta recognized the song and went with it.

He stopped before her kissed her and brushed a bit of her hair back looking into her eyes more. He gazed over her quickly and started to sing softly with the song.

"There's something about the look in your eyes. Something I noticed when the light was just right. It reminded me twice that I was alive…and it reminded me that your so worth the fight. Ooooo yeaa… The biggest fear will be the rescue of me. Strange how it turns out that way, yeaaa…"

Bulma simply melted into him. As he sang to her he sang softly and his hand had cupped her face, he used his thumb to rub her cheek slowly. She was just buzzing and all soft inside at what was going on. It had to be the sweetest thing has ever happen to her, she was unsure if she wouldn't faint at it all. But Vegeta just sang on for her.

"Could you show me dear? Something I'm not seeeinggg, something infinity interestingggg…. Could you show me dear? Something I'm not seeinggg, something infinity interestingggggg…Ooooooo….. Something about the way you move, I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing. Uh huh naa"

Bulma was just mush in his hands. Frozen while he sung and kept his warm gaze upon her. The next few lines were a little too soft for her to hear as it seemed he paused for a moment just to look at what she was feeling in her eyes but after the moment pasted he picked right back up.

"Your moments echo that I've seen the real thing. Uhhh yeaa your biggest fear will be the rescue of you. Strange how it turns out that way. Yeaaa Could you show me dear? Something I'm not seeing, something infinity interestingggggg…Could you show me dear? Something I'm not seeing, something infinity interestingggggggg! OooOoooooo uhh yeaa…."

Soon as the last note was play Bulma jumped on Vegeta hugged him strongly to his amazement. Bulma just bared her face in his neck and started to cry. Vegeta stiffened a bit as he felt her tears against his skin.

"Bulma what's wrong?" he spoke softly.

Bulma looked at him with tears of joy streaming down her face. She wiped them away and smiled as happily as her face could mustarded. Vegeta just smiled softly as she looked at him.

"Nothing is but that…was the sweetest thing…anyone has ever done for me! Oh Vegeta!" she cried out as she hugged his neck as tightly as she could.

If Vegeta were a human Bulma would be choking the life out of him right now with her grip. Vegeta smiled and ran his fingers through her hair a few times and then placed a soft kiss on the top of her head.

"I'm glad you like that."

Bulma just snuggled down and into his arms as Vegeta tugged her closer to him. And the music just played on but they only listened. It was getting into late afternoon now and they still had a ways to go so they just enjoyed each other for a while more. Young love is such a pure thing, one can only hope that it will be able to stay so pure in later years to come.

After a while Vegeta finally spoke up. "I didn't know you like Incubus too."

Bulma smirked and just looked ahead out the window. "Ya I do. There a awesome band."

Vegeta nodded. "Maybe we should go see them sometime."

Bulma smiled up at him as he gazed down at her. "Ya next time there in town, let's!" Vegeta smirked as his response as a yes. Bulma nestled her self deeper into his embrace and just watched the clouds go by.

Then a guitar started to play a song that made Bulma lifted her head up slightly. "Oh I love this song, it's cute."

Vegeta looked down at her, "What is it?"

Bulma smiled, "It's a cute Spiderman song."

Vegeta raised a brow. "Spiderman?"

"Ya you know guy in red and blue tights and can crawl on walls and stuff."

"Ya I know how he is but I didn't think you would." Vegeta said eyeing her.

Bulma smirked. "Hey Spiderman is cool!" Vegeta just nodded as she hopped in the song as the man sung out.

"And I'm at the end of my web and it doesn't look gooooddd. But I'll stay cause listen bud!" Bulma poked Vegeta nose on the word "bud", he just chuckled slightly. "I've got radioactive blood! I know I maybe insect in part but darling, your breaking my radioactive heart!"

Vegeta just listened along and found some amusement out of her singing the song. But slowly a few hours went by and the sun set as they got closer to their destination. And the time came finally when they had to land. Bulma brought the jet down and followed her dragon radar close to where the ball was located.

After the jet finally rolled to a stop and the dome was open the two hopped out and stretched. Bulma walked over to Vegeta with the dragon radar and wild smirk on her face. "Ready to go get the first ball?" Vegeta nodded and smirked as well, he couldn't wait to see what they looked like.

Bulma clicked the top a few times and looked to the left a little. It's that way about umm 300 feet. Vegeta nodded and the two walked off across the grass. Bulma hugged her coat closer as the night wind blew against them. Vegeta flared his ki a bit to protect them both from the chilly winds.

Bulma stopped and looked downward down a hole. "It's down there." she pointed and then started to dig into her coat pocket. She pulled out a flash light and clicked it on. Vegeta scooped up Bulma and jumped up slightly and floated in the air. He floated forward then down into the crack.

Bulma moved the flash light around trying to see what was around them. Bulma clicked the radar again and pointed ahead of them a bit. "It's down over there but I don't see it." She moved the flashlight around more but all they saw was dirt, rocks, and grass.

Vegeta screeched the best he could with his eyes but saw nothing. "Maybe it's under something?"

Bulma looked at him. "Yea maybe."

Vegeta just shrugged and flew a faster now till he got near the ground then softly touched down. He placed Bulma down on the ground and started to look around more. Bulma clicked the radar and walked ahead a bit. She looked around a few rocks then smiled as she slipped her hand in a hole.

"HEY!" she yelled out to Vegeta.

Vegeta turned back to her and walked over. A big smile was on her face as she pulled out a ball that shined a yellowish orange color. Vegeta was taken back a bit by the way it softly glowed. She stood up and held it out so he could see it better.

"So that's a Dragonball?" He picked it out of her extended hand and gave it a look over. Bulma nodded as he looked it over and counted the stars.

"It's the five star ball and our first one." Bulma spoke cheerfully.

Vegeta smirked and handed back to her. "It's very beautiful."

Bulma smile and nodded and tucked it away in her coat pocket. "Now time for dinner."

Vegeta smirked wider. "Now your talking." He scoped her up and flew back up to the jet. Once he set down Bulma again she took out one of the biggest capsules she had and looked for a clearing.

( Sorry for the late updates all but I've had like no time to type. *cries* So I'm looking into big time now into a cheap laptop or something. Then I can just take it around and type. Also I must admit I'm having a bit of a writers block. Plus Saturday I work 13 hours so I've been a little tried too. But I'm typing when I can in my free time. But anyway I'm not too sure what's planned for the next chapter but your guess is good as mine. ^_^;;;
