Chapter Three: Friends... or Foe?
At a new week of school, Bulma and Vegeta finally start to get acquainted. Unfortunately for Bulma, she doesn't think that Vegeta is… ermm… "too friendly". Both of them are in the same science class and Vegeta finally learns more about the gang…
***
Bulma flipped through her notebook, trying to find the section on the chemicals. She casually looked up and her eyes started to widen.
"Vegeta! Stop!"
Vegeta was holding a beaker filled with water and was about to pour it into another beaker. He stopped moving. "What?"
Bulma ran over to him and grabbed the beaker out of his hand. "Don't you know that if you pour water into sodium, the beaker will explode?"
Vegeta shrugged as he slumped down on a chair. "Who cares, woman!"
Bulma rolled her eyes. "I do. It's very dangerous!"
She then sat down on the chair next to him and continued flipping through her notebook. "So are you going to ChiChi's party tonight?"
"Yes, most likely. I heard that fool Kakarot mumbling that he doesn't want to go."
Bulma stared at him. "I thought you knew why?"
Vegeta shrugged. "I do not care."
"Well, I'm going to tell you anyway. You see, ChiChi is rich and Goku's not. Her parents are a bit snobby and they don't want ChiChi to go out with someone with 'no class'. One of the reasons why ChiChi goes to West Capital High instead of this school is because her parents wanted to separate her and Goku. That's why Goku doesn't want to go tonight…" Noticing that Vegeta wasn't paying any attention to her, she continued talking. "You know what? You don't talk a lot."
Vegeta crossed his arms and started to scowl. "I do as I please, and talking to an annoying woman isn't something I favor."
Bulma stood up and placed her hands on her hips. "Jeez, all I'm trying to do is start a decent conversation. But I guess you're just someone who isn't capable to converse with."
"You better watch your mouth. Bitch," Vegeta growled through gritted teeth.
"Bastard," she replied before turning around and walking to the other side of the lab.
***
So the two of them didn't really get along very well. In fact, they loathed each other. By lunchtime, both of them were too pissed off to even look at each other…
***
"What did they do to get each other THAT pissed?" Krillen asked before he took a bite of his chicken and lettuce sandwich.
Goku slid lower down his seat. "You wouldn't wanna know. The three of us were in the same English class and they just had to argue about anything and everything."
Juu raised an eyebrow. "It's that bad, huh?"
Goku nodded as he opened his very large container of curry chicken and rice. "It's worse than you think," he said before digging in.
"Speaking of those two, here they come," Krillen said while munching on his sandwich.
"Krillen, don't talk with your mouth full!" Juu scolded.
Krillen swallowed down his food. "Sorry."
"I can't believe this!! Because of YOU, I get a lunch time detention next week!!! It's your entire fault!!"
"My fault??? I wasn't the one who started that argument anyway!!"
"But YOU were the one who tried to chuck that book at me!!"
"So what? You deserved it!"
"Why are you such a jerk???"
"It's just a conspiracy against you."
"You take that back NOW or else…"
"Or else what, woman?"
"Or else… I'll get my revenge!!"
Vegeta crossed his arms and smirked. "And how are you planning to do that?"
Bulma didn't answer for a few seconds and she looked as if she was about to burst.
"You arrogant bastard!!!"
"Is that the best you can do?"
"Fuck off, Vegeta!"
"I'm not the one who's complaining."
Juu clamped her ears with her hands.
"WILL THE TWO OF YOU JUST SHUT UP!!!"
Bulma and Vegeta stopped speaking and stared at her.
"Well, it was his fault for trying to start a fight with me during Math and the teacher gave both of us detentions!"
Vegeta scowled as he sat down on his seat. "My fault? You were the one complaining and being an idiot!!"
"I was not!"
"You were and don't deny it!"
Juu then slammed her hand down on the table, causing Bulma to jump a little.
"Both of you just shut up. I don't wanna hear another word from you two today. I just want to have a peaceful lunch."
"Don't tell me what to do, wench," Vegeta growled but decided to stop arguing anyway.
Krillen lay back on his seat and patted Goku on the back. "It must be a bummer to be in their classes."
"So is everyone going to go to ChiChi's tonight?" Juu asked.
Bulma nodded. "Of course!"
Juu turned to Vegeta. "What about you?"
Vegeta shrugged. "Whatever."
Juu nodded. "I take that as a yes. Well, good. I guess we're all going."
"I might not."
Everyone turned and faced Goku.
"Oh come on, you can come to my house first and we can pick something out from my brother's wardrobe," Juu protested.
"Well, you don't have to…" Goku started to say.
"Of course you have to! ChiChi's your girlfriend and you're not backing away from HER birthday party!!"
Goku nodded and smiled. "I guess so. Thanks a bunch, Juu."
Juu smiled back at him. "Hey, what are friends for?"
***
Later during the same day, everyone was preparing for the party. Of course each person was very excited about attending this formal party (well, maybe not Goku). But unfortunately, the night didn't exactly turn out the way it was expected…
***
Vegeta stepped out of his black BMW. He looked at the beautiful mansion that stood in front of him. The whole construction was lit well, and it felt as it was surrounding by a warm glow. In front of the mansion stood a tall fountain. Water was trickling down from the top and lights reflected against the sparkly aqua water, causing it to shimmer.
Vegeta turned around as he heard wheels of a car. He turned around and saw a red Porsche pull up and park behind his car. He saw a figure step out and he heard heels click on the ground. The figure stepped into the light, letting Vegeta witness the full view.
Bulma stood under the light, looking like a princess. Her long aqua blue hair was let out and there were curls falling loosely down both sides of her face. At the top of her head was a tiara, which was a thin band of diamonds. Her dress was white and low cut, showing just the right amount of cleavage. Her sleeves were just past her elbows and were very wide (like bell sleeves). Her dress was tight around the waist and it was long enough to touch the ground.
Bulma smirked as she saw Vegeta's eyes exploring her body.
"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that you're impressed."
Vegeta blinked for a moment and realised that he had been caught staring. He tried to cover it up by frowning. "No, you still look as ugly as ever."
Bulma rolled her eyes. "Whatever," she said as she walked past Vegeta and started to walk towards the mansion.
Vegeta shrugged then followed behind her.
***
"Miss Mau, I do wish you a very happy birthday," a young man said as he took ChiChi's hand and kissed it.
ChiChi forced herself to smile at him. "Thank you, Mr. Chan."
Mr. Chan reached out and gave her a small box. "I know it is small, but I hope that you adore this gift."
ChiChi smiled as she accepted the gift and slowly opened the box. Inside, laid a very expensive looking pair of diamond earrings. "They are absolutely beautiful," she exclaimed.
At that moment, Mr. Mau walked into the vast lounge room with his wife. ChiChi smiled and excused herself from Mr. Chan.
"Good evening, mother and father," she said in a sweet voice as she kissed both her parents on the cheek.
"I hope you are enjoying the night. We spent quite some time planning this and there will be many guests that will arrive later."
Oh god… ChiChi thought in her mind as she forced herself to give her parents a warm smile. "Now I must talk to my guests."
ChiChi looked around the room and saw a flash of blue hair. Oh finally Bulma's here to save me from all these people! She then looked surprised as she saw Vegeta enter the room following Bulma. He actually turned up? I'm amazed! Hmmm… maybe they made up. I hope they did.
"Hey Chi!"
ChiChi turned around and saw Krillen and Juu standing behind her. Krillen was holding up a large wrapped up box.
"Oh hi! Isn't Goku with you?" ChiChi asked curiously.
"Ummm yeh… He's in the bathroom. He had a bit of ummm… *cough* an accident. I told him not to eat ice cream in the car."
ChiChi's face fell. "Oh… Well, here comes Bulma and Vegeta. C'mon."
"Hi Chi! Happy birthday!! And I didn't forget to bring your present this time!!" Bulma said as she held up a small rectangular box.
ChiChi smiled. "Thanks, Bulma. In other circumstances, I would give you a hug. But…" she was motioning at the people scattered around the room.
"Nah, I understand," Bulma said as she gave her a small laugh.
ChiChi turned to Vegeta. "I'm glad you came."
Vegeta gave her a "humph" and Bulma decided to step in. "So… umm… where's Goku?"
As if on queue, Goku skidded into the room, almost knocking over a butler carrying a plate of refreshments.
Juu nudged Krillen on the side as she motioned her eyes towards Goku. Krillen looked at her direction and slapped his head. "Oh man… I knew something like this would happen."
Mr. Mau cleared his throat as he entered the room. "Welcome, dinner will be served very soon. If you like, you can take a seat in the dining room right now."
"Maybe dinner will be better," Juu whispered to Krillen.
***
Everyone was seated in the very large dining room. There were approximately 50 guests and the table was long enough to fit 50 people. ChiChi was seated on one end of the table, next to her dad. Goku was sitting beside her. Beside Goku, in order, were Bulma, Vegeta, Krillen, and Juu.
Bulma had her knife and fork positioned in front of her and was slicing a piece of chicken. She looked beside her and noticed Goku stick the fork into the meat and lifting the whole piece, ready to shove it into his mouth.
Bulma looked up and noticed Mr. Mau looking at him with disgust. She lifted a foot off the ground and gently tapped him. Goku looked up with a confused look.
"Table manners," Bulma whispered to him.
Feeling embarrassed, Goku grabbed his knife and began cutting the chicken into small pieces.
Feeling satisfied, she refocused herself on her own plate. She could feel someone scowl at her. "What's your problem, Vegeta?" she said softly without even looking up.
"Why don't you stop correcting Kakarot and let him make a fool of himself. I would like a good show," Vegeta grumbled in a low voice.
"Vegeta, don't be so mean," Bulma scolded quietly.
"Get used to it, woman. That idiot deserves it."
"No he doesn't. Now let's stop arguing before this gets out of hand."
"Fine then," Vegeta said before he shoved another piece of chicken in his mouth.
Bulma was surprised that he didn't continue with his comebacks. She shrugged as she continued to enjoy her meal.
Two butlers entered the room with bottles of wine. They poured the wine in everyone's glasses and went down the row.
"Hey, what's this?" Goku asked as he lifted his glass towards him, examining the dark liquid.
"It's red wine, quite an exquisite refreshment," ChiChi replied as she took a tiny sip.
"Oh cool," Goku commented as he took a big sip, drinking almost half a glass full. His face expression turned from cheerful to horror and he spat the wine out, causing a large stain on the table cloth. The people who were sitting across the table looked at him with revulsion.
"That taste of wine is horrible!" Goku said loudly before shutting up. He looked at ChiChi and saw her shaking her head and looking down. He then looked up and saw that every person on the table was staring at him.
"So… umm… is there anything I can do to clean up the mess?" he finally managed to say.
***
The graceful notes of the piano filled across the large room as the guests admired the pianist who was playing on the grand piano.
"ChiChi, I would like to have a word with you," Mr. Mau said with a frown. ChiChi gulped as she followed her dad out of the room and in the hallway.
"ChiChi, I just want to tell you that I am not very pleased about the performance during dinner. I do not want you to associate with him. I thought I made that clear to you when I arranged for you to change schools." His voice was not angry but rather stern.
ChiChi stared at the floor and started to bite her lip. Mr. Mau continued to talk.
"ChiChi, it was not very pleasant when I stood in that dining room with all the guests watching that boy degrade himself."
"Dad!!" ChiChi began to protest but Mr. Mau didn't let her continue.
"Don't dad me. You will address me as 'father' and do not ever forget that. You will know your place in this family. Do not disgrace yourself by being involved with this boy."
"Excuse me, I hope I ain't interrupting."
Mr. Mau turned around and saw Goku standing not far. He started to frown.
"We will continue this discussion when the guests leave. And don't forget my words," Mr. Mau said and was about to walk away but Goku stopped him.
"Before, you go. I just want to tell you that I love your daughter for who she is, not what she is. And I think that's the only thing which matters," Goku spoke clearly.
Mr. Mau opened the door and the pianist had just finished playing a piece and the guests were all applauding.
"And what exactly can you do that make you useful?" Mr. Mau asked.
Goku became speechless as he lifted his hand behind his head. "Well… errrmmm…"
"Can you play the piano?" Mr. Mau demanded.
Goku's eyes widened and then started nodding. "Yeah… sure. Why not…"
Mr. Mau opened the door wider. "Then why don't you go to the piano and play a piece for us." (AN: If this was the anime, Goku would be sweat dropping right now)
"Umm… you mean now?" Goku stammered as he shuffled into the room.
Mr. Mau coughed loudly trying to get everyone's attention. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Kakarot Son will now present us with a piano piece."
People started to clap lightly as Goku stumbled towards the grand piano and sat down on the stool.
ChiChi felt like she wanted to disappear. Oh my god… what is he going to do?
Goku flexed his fingers as he placed them over the keyboard. He then slammed his hands down and played a sequence of notes which clashed together and caused the guests to moan as they covered their ears in annoyance.
"That's enough!" Mr. Mau raised his voice over the piano and Goku immediately stopped playing. Mr. Mau angrily stomped across the room towards the grand piano. "You have caused me so much distress and I think it's enough for tonight. How dare you lie to me when you said you knew how to play the piano!"
Bulma stood from afar and she started to bite her lip as she heard Mr. Mau screaming at Goku. "Poor Goku…" she whispered to herself.
When Mr. Mau had finished scolding, Goku immediately faced back towards the piano and placed his fingers on the keyboard.
"What do you think you're doing?" Mr. Mau demanded.
Suddenly, Goku started to play on the piano, except this time, he was playing an actual tune!
"Pachelbel's Canon in D… Very impressive," a guest praised from behind Mr. Mau.
Mr. Mau's mouth nearly fell open as he watched Goku's hand glide across the keyboard and the smooth notes filled his ears.
ChiChi beamed as she saw what just happened. Goku's full of surprises!
When Goku finished playing the piece, the guests all clapped. Goku stood up from the seat and turned to Mr. Mau.
"Sometimes you should not judge a person from the outside. I really do wish that you can reconsider about letting your daughter be with me." After saying all that, Goku walked across the room to where his friends were standing.
"Well, let's all attend the hall!" Mr. Mau announced and guests happily nodded and exited the room.
"That was completely unexpected!! You really showed him!!" Krillen exclaimed as he saw Goku.
"Yeah! Maybe now ChiChi's dad will finally allow you to see her," Bulma commented.
"We'll find out…" was all Goku said as he and ChiChi walked out of the room.
Bulma sighed as she walked out through the doorway. Great… the hall... I probably have no one who can dance with me…
AN: Sorry that this chapter lacked a bit of B/V and was too much of a G/CC!! But I really wouldn't place Vegeta in that position!! Don't worry, next chapter will have lots of B/V moments and no lame bits!!!
