Everyone Says I love you

Chapter 8: Answer the phone

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

~*We're on this rollercoaster ride*~

"Quit shoving, would ya?" Bulma snapped, before whacking the man behind her playfully on the arm.

"Well, if you'd actually MOVE, we wouldn't have a problem!" Goku replied with a grin, before shoving her, yet again.

~*Hold on, I'll stay here by your side*~

Mandy growled at Bulma as she walked past, and Bulma made a lunge at her, only to be stopped by two strong pairs of arms. One being Goku's... the other belonging to Yamcha. Goku shot the man a go-to-hell look, before shrugging, and walking over to where Mandy stood. He wrapped his powerful arms around her instead, and with a defeated sigh, walked with her into the cafeteria.

"Yamcha! That was ridiculous, and you know it!" Bulma scolded softly.

~*We head up to the sky then we slide back down*~

"Tell me then, how exactly AM I supposed to act around him? You slept with him for Kami's sake Bulma!" He shot back, nowhere near as softly.

Bulma merely stared at the man for a moment, before wrenching her arm away from his grasp, and turning her body around to face him. She brought her hand up, and smacked him square across the face, and with a satisfied smirk, turned on her heel, and stomped into the Cafeteria.

~*Upside down try to figure out*~

Yamcha's shocked expression, nor the reddening of his cheek weren't what really shocked him. The fact that she had defended Goku over him.. THAT was the real shocker. And suddenly it hit him, like a slap in the face, if you'll excuse the pun. He too stalked down the hallway, in the opposite direction of the Cafeteria.

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

~*Not sure if we could work it out*~

"Goku!" Bulma called as she chased after his retreating form.

Goku turned around quickly, and tried his best to hide the smile that crept across his face. "Hey Bul! What's up?" He asked, still trying, yet failing miserably, not to smile.

~*I wanna be alone but you feel like home*~

"Pizza" She replied.

"Excuse me?" Mandy asked, confused.

~*Answer the phone, I know that you're home*~

"Pizza"

"Um...B? Are you ok?" Krillin asked as he walked over to join the group.

~*I wanna get you alone, and do it again, do it again*~

"Pizza." She replied, yet again.

"Did you know that if your body height matched your IQ you could walk straight under an amoeba?" Mandy asked softly. She rolled her eyes at Bulma

~*Answer the phone, I know that you're home*~

"Pizza." Bulma said once more.

"Pizza, eh?" Goku asked back, the large smile still present on his face.

~*I wanna get you alone, and do it again, do it again*~

"Pizza," She replied, before taking hold of Goku's arm and walking from the room, leaving a rather confused Mandy and Krillin behind.

"Um.. What just happened here exactly?" Mandy asked.

~*The signals all are flashing red*~

"No idea... those two communicate WAY too well. I think we're going out for pizza though. Either that, or she's speaking in tongues again. That actually makes more sense. Ah well, if that's the case, I need to follow her and see what evil she's plotting! Um... in correspondence with the prophecy, of course." Krillin replied, before grabbing Mandy's arm and pulling her from the room.

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

~*It doesn't matter what was said*~

"Stupid! Stupid stupid stupid!!" Yamcha screamed as he kicked the door to the bathroom stall. His frustrations didn't stop there, however. He didn't stop until the bathroom was completely trashed. The trash can was lying on it's side with the lid ripped off, contents spilling over the tile floor. The soap dispenser had been ripped from the wall, a slippery pink puddle lay surrounding it on the ground.

"Apologize! That's what I'll do! I'll apologize! She can't stay mad at me forever!" Yamcha exclaimed happily, before jumping from his seat next to the trash can lid, and running down the hall, in the direction of the cafeteria. He skidded to a halt in front of the doorway, and scanned the area quickly. His heart fell when he noticed the blue haired woman wasn't present. "Well, it's not like she ran back to Goku or....." His thoughts trailed off though, as his gaze fell on Goku's usual table, and it's obvious lack of occupants. "Ah shit..." He muttered to himself, before checking his watch. He cursed aloud again, and turned on his hell. He took off running BACK down the hall, this time towards the parking lot

~*This bed is much too big without me and you*~

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

"See? Told you Pizza would be good!" Bulma exclaimed as she took another bite of her Taco Pizza.

"Ik couldft agrief moor Buwma!" Goku replied, his mouth still full of food.

~*This all seems so ridiculous*~

Mandy cast a quick look at Bulma, who merely shrugged and replied "He said 'I couldn't agree more, Bulma.'" The other woman flashed a look at Krillin, who currently had an eyebrow quirked.

"See? Waaaaaay too well." Was his only reply, before turning his attention back to his food.

"Anyone need a refill?" Goku asked, before taking his own cup, and standing.

"Yeah, me." Bulma replied, and handed him her cup.

"Jeez Goku, with all the coke you drink, it's a wonder you've got such an awesome figure!" Mandy exclaimed and shot him a wink.

"That's my raison d'être, my sense of life!" He replied.

"What is?" She asked, her face showing her confusion

"Root beer!" Both Bulma and Goku answered in unison.

"You're right... way too well." Mandy muttered to Krillin. Goku took the drinks and left, returning a moment later, two full cups in hand. He seated himself at the table once more, and conversation once more ensued, this time taking the inevitable turn toward the upcoming prom.

"Yeah, so... um.. Bulma! When are you supposed to pick your dress up for Prom? I've gotta go get mine later this afternoon." Mandy said, nonchalantly.

~*Why can't we just get over this*~

"Yeah, I gotta go get mine today too. Hmm.. want a ride there? Or are you gonna try to kill me as soon as I'm away from Goku?" Bulma smirked.

"Hey! YOU lunged at me! I merely stated a simple fact."

"Oh, and what fact might that have been?" Bulma asked, satisfied that she'd won the argument.

~*Don't make me say the obvious*~

"That if you aren't gonna screw him, Then I am!!" Mandy hollered. Krillin sweat dropped, Bulma face vaulted, and Goku swallowed half of his pizza.

"Do Wha? Can we talk about this somewhere else?" Krillin asked as he glanced around the crowded pizza parlor. Nearly all the shop's occupants were staring at them. Krillin merely waved to the gawking patrons, before turning back to Goku, and slapping the now red man on the back. "Breathe!" He called out as he did so, and Goku swallowed the pizza, much to everyone's relief.

~*Without you*~

"Um... well, I don't think THIS has ever happened to me before!" He exclaimed, and reached a hand behind his head as he grinned. He glanced nervously between the two women, who at that moment, looked like they might jump over the table and strangle each other.

"Whaddya say we get outta here? I'm sure Yamcha's looking for me." Bulma muttered, seemingly oblivious to the hurt look that crossed Goku's features.

~*Answer the phone, I know that you're home*~

"Like I said... If you won't, THEN I WILL." Mandy growled back as she stood from the table, pulling Goku along behind her.

"Kami! Is he whipped or something? I mean, look at the way she treats him!" Bulma exclaimed to a bewildered Krillin.

"Well, to tell you the truth, I've seen someone treat him worse than that." He mumbled in reply.

~*I wanna get you alone, and do it again, do it again*~

"Who? How could someone be so mean to him?"

"Do you REALLY want me to answer that? Because I can..."

"Well, yeah! I mean, I've NEVER seen Goku act like that before! He's doing everything she asks him too! Have YOU ever seen him act like this?"

~*Answer the phone, I know that you're home*~

"No, I've seen him worse. And the person that MAKES him that way... is you." Krillin stated. He glanced once at the bewildered woman, before he too left the table.

"I've never hurt him! He said himself he was ok!" She called out suddenly.

"Keep telling yourself that Bul..." Was his only reply as he left the shop.

~*I wanna get you alone, and do it again, do it again*~

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

"How can you just let her walk all over you like that Goku? From what I've seen, you've never done anything to hurt her!" Mandy exclaimed.

"No, I have. This.." he gestured between the two of them, "This is hurting her. I didn't realize it until now, but it is. I wanted to hurt her, I HAVE hurt her, and I feel like shit for it. How much sense does that make? It's like she's got the power to turn my entire world upside down, and she doesn't know it... either that, or she doesn't care. That's probably the most logical explanation. I mean, how could I expect her to care? It's not like I ever meant a damn thing to her. Just a stupid fuck. I sat here and made myself think it was more, but it wasn't. Everything I do for her, every time I TRY to make her love me, she runs back to him! I never thought I'd have to say this line, but hell... What's he got that I don't? I'll tell you what he's got! He's got her!"

~*I practiced all my lines to a telephone while you were sleeping*~

"Goku! Calm down! Don't let her do this to you! You're tearing yourself apart over this! And I mean, you're not exactly making me feel too great about this either you know! Am I really THAT horrible? Can you not even PRETEND to have a relationship with me? I thought that was the arrangement! You know how I feel about you, Goku. I've made that PERFECTLY clear. Why not just give up on her? She doesn't care! I do! Why are you STILL mourning over the loss? Especially when it's HER that's losing?!" Mandy turned away quickly, and wiped a tear from her eye, before whirling around to face the broken man again.

~*I remember the way you curled your toes
On the side of the stage at all our shows*~

"I can't." He whispered, before wiping the tears from his own cheeks with the back of his hand. He walked back down the sidewalk, to where Krillin stood, leaned against the wall. He never turned to look at the other man, just through his keys to him as he passed. Krillin caught them with ease, and hopped into Goku's car.

~*And the glow on your face just because of one rose
And when I wake up in the morning and you're wearing my clothes*~

Mandy moved to get in the car, but stopped quickly when she saw Bulma emerge from the restaurant. She stalked over to the shorter girl, and pulled her hand back to throw a punch. Bulma looked up just in time to see a fist headed directly for her face. She closed her eyes, and braced for the contact. The contact that was never made. She warily cracked one eye open, followed by another, and found, much to her surprise, exactly WHY. A large hand gripped Mandy's tightly in its own, a mere two inches from her face. She glanced quickly to her savior's face, but she knew before she saw it who it was. The spiky black hair revealed that much.

"V-Vegeta?"

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

Ohhhh man... that was bad, wasn't it? And no, this isn't gonna be a V/B ficcie, but trust me, Vegeta comes into play later on in the plot. I promise! And I know I promised that someone from Yamcha's past was stepping in this chap, well, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about that, and truthfully, I had planned on this chap being longer, but that just seemed like the PERFECT place to cut it off!! Isn't that horrible? HUGE GIGANTIC MEGA BIG thanks to EVERYONE who left a review again. I'm soooo sorry they all went away guys, I really am! That's ok though, cuz I'm baaaaaack! Oh, and Sapphy, Four more in this one. :-D Look for the next chap VERY soon, ok? And I mean it this time! Love ya!!
