{1 month later}
Nothing remotely interesting happened in the past month. Bulma had been working in the lab provided for her. She worked steadily upgrading the technology and she was almost on a break through! She tried not to think about her home too much, but she always found herself reliving memories. She had grown quite close to Mik and Jenna, thankful for any companionship. She found out that Mik was a royal guard as well as being a pilot, the reason why he was at the palace constantly and she had been getting along extremely well with King Vegeta.
She hadn't said that much to Vegeta since the night of the ball, much to her relief. Although, they did have some interesting encounters. All in all, she was settling down as much as she could, but the nagging feelings of home just would not leave her. She still couldn't grasp the concept that Earth had been destroyed. Humming, she continued with her work and twiddled with a piece of metal, when she was disturbed by her beeping intercom. She frowned switching it on, she had specifically asked that no one disturb her. Suddenly King Vegeta appeared on the screen, Bulma relaxed and smiled at his image.
"Hey Big V! Long time no see hehe." Bulma laughed as she saw his expression on the screen.
"Bulma, you know I don't like those silly names you give me!" King Vegeta frowned at Bulma's image on screen. He and the girl had become very close in the past month, and for once he enjoyed someone else's company rather than being left alone. Freeza's reign was over and now he could relax.
Bulma laughed again but tried to be serious, "I'm sorry, did you want something?"
"Yes, I was wondering if your new project was finished?" He smirked as he remembered her intellect.
~Flashback~
Bulma and King Vegeta stared at one another both with an evil glint in their eyes, as they sat opposite from eachother.
"Your move," growled King Vegeta.
Bulma stared at the chess board for a few seconds and smirking she moved her queen into the next position, "Checkmate. I win, GAME OVA!!!" She wanted to laugh as she saw the King's expression.
King Vegeta closed his slightly open mouth, "Very well, you have beat me now onna. That is only due to the fact that this game is still slightly new to me. But know this, I will beat you next time." He growled again slightly at the now laughing Bulma.
"But we've been playing this game for almost over a week! Surely you must have mastered it by now." She smirked as she saw his angry expression. "Ah- Ah-Ah," she said shaking her finger at him, "Tsk tsk King Vegeta. I warned you about blood pressure, did I not?" Immediately she saw the angry expression disappear.
"Very well onna, you may go now. I wish to further train my mind on this game for our challenge tomorrow." He sighed, wondering why he ever decided to let her teach him this confounded game. It only gave him a throbbing headache each time he realised that he had lost. To him, this woman was the smartest being he knew, next to himself of course. Which was why it was frustrating that he couldn't win a simple board game! What she lacked in strength, she made up with by using her mind.
"As you wish King Veg, but take a chill pill, it's just a game!" With that Bulma did something he never expected, she walked round the table and gave him a peck on the cheek and a quick hug, startling him. "No hard feelings, ok?"
"W-What are you doing woman, are you insane? Do not touch me ever again!" He was quite flustered as he sputtered out the words and found his cheeks were turning a dark shade.
"Relax Golden Oldie! Sheesh, you Saiya-jins are so emotionally challenged!" She was laughing now at his red face, "You're just like my dad when he loses a chess game to me. I always give him a hug to show him no hard feelings and he goes red too. And I also had to remind him about his blood pressure like I do with you, so don't frett!" She chuckled.
King Vegeta visibly calmed down, "You have made your point Bulma. This, I believe, is the first time you have spoken about your father to me. Is everything alright?"
Bulma's face fell, "My father is no longer alive, he was a genius and.. I miss him very much." She looked down at the floor.
"Hmm, I take it Vegeta hasn't told you."
"Told me what?"
King Vegeta coughed slightly. "Never mind, I'll have a word with him. Now you may leave Bulma." Bulma bowed her head and left, not wanting to spoil her day by arguing.
King Vegeta stared at the chess board *Poor girl. My son is a fool if he thinks he can win her by keeping her here. I wonder why he did not tell her that everything is well on her planet. Sometimes I wonder about my sons ability to think* He smirked, shaking his head
~End Flashback~
Bulma smiled again at King Vegeta's image for he seemed to have zoned out for a second, "Well, I've almot finished it. If you would wish to see it, I'd be more than happy to show you?"
"Show it to me when it is completed."
Bulma nodded at this, "Very well." She paused contemplating whether or not to ask her question. She decided to anyway, "May I ask where Vegeta is at this present moment?"
King Vegeta raised an eyebrow at this question, "Right now he's in the conference hall, dealing with some politics."
Bulma almost burst out laughing *Vegeta and politics? NO WAY! His idea of politics is kill or be killed!* "Thanks King Vegeta. I'll see you at dinner ok?"
The King shook his head, thoroughly confused. "Very well Bulma. I hope you finish your project soon." With that he switched of the link.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bulma sighed as she saw the screen go blank. It had been a long month to say the least! She couldn't actually believe that Vegeta had the nerve to bring the gravity room with him! She smiled as she remembered how she reacted when he first told her.
~Flashback~
She had been on Vegeta-sei for almost a week now, and she was getting restless. She couldn't find anything to do! She kept pestering the King for somework but he only grunted and said 'soon'.
It was a nice day and Bulma was out in the palace gardens. By this time she had memorized the whole plot of the gardens. No longer would she get lost. Sighing she sat down on a bench, taking a slight breather. *I thought I was going to be doing something. Not sit around on my ass all day!*
Vegeta, on the other hand was training. He always felt the need to train and become stronger. This is why he had bought the gravity machine with him. After all, he did have Bulma to fix it if it ever malfunctioned. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a stray ki blast came straight for him. As he dodged it, he watched as it smacked into the control panels. *Oh shit. Great, now I'll have to find the onna and deal with her incessant babble.* Not that he minded of course.
Vegeta walked out of the gravity room and tried to find her ki. Sure enough he found it in the palace gardens, as weak as it was! Growling he flew towards her, a bit hesitant of what her reaction might be. He landed behind her, being as silent as he could. Secrecy was the key.
Bulma was deep in thought when she heard a booming voice, "ONNA!" She jumped right out of her skin and turned to face the culprit.
Bulma gasped as she saw Vegeta, "Vegeta! Stop sneaking up on me, you freaky monkey!" She took a good look at his appearance. He didn't look too good, all bruised and scratched.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, "Whatever onna. Anyway you are to come with me this instant."
Bulma folded her arms, narrowing her eyes. "And why in Kami's world would I want to go anywhere with you?!"
By this time Vegeta was growing impatient, "Onna, the gravity room is broken and you must fix it!"
As soon as the words left Vegeta's mouth, Bulma's reaction was priceless! She stood there with her mouth opening and closing, as if she was trying to say something, but no sound would come out. She looked like a fish that had been out of the water for too long, and this thought amused Vegeta greatly. That is until she exploded.
Finally Bulma found her voice and started screeching at the top of her lungs. "WHY YOU LITTLE TAILESS MONKEY! YOU BOUGHT THE GRAVITY ROOM WITH YOU?!? OF ALL THE IDIOTIC AND SENSELESS THINGS TO DO! AND YOU EXPECT ME TO FIX IT?! OOH I COULD JUST KILL YOU RIGHT NOW! WHAT I WOULDN'T DO TO HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH SO I COULD KICK YOUR ASS! YOU DERANGED LUNATIC JACKASS OF A MONKEY TROLL!!!!!!" With that she lunged forward trying to strangle him.
By this point Vegeta was shocked at her sudden outburst. With the speed of light, he grabbed her wrists before they could close around his throat. He yanked her close, growling in her ear.
"Onna you might as well fix it rather then sit around on your ass all day. THIS is why I bought you here. What, you think I kept you alive for anything other than that?" With that he 'lightly' shoved her back. True he was being mean, but he needed to knock at least SOME sense into her.
The realisation slapped Bulma in the face like a rubber glove. She sighed, after all she didn't really have anything else to do, she might as well fix the blasted machine! Plus she was being a little cruel to him. *Certainly not the way to get the Vegeta I know back. Maybe if I got MY Vegeta back, I could ask him to take me to the new Namek-sei and use their Dragonballs to wish back planet earth and everyone killed..* She smirked at the thought of her new plan. Of course the only way to do this, was to get Vegeta on HER side.
Bulma smiled sweetly, "Fine Vegeta, lead the way" She chuckled inside at his confused expression.
Sneering, he grabbed Bulma and started to fly towards the gravity room. "About damn time you agreed onna."
Bulma yelped as they started flying high in the sky, she wrapped her arms tightly around Vegeta's neck squeezing her eyes shut. "If you drop me, I swear I'll hunt you down and beat you to a bloody pulp!"
Vegeta looked at her and chuckled evilly, "As if you could! But I wouldn't have it any other way, onna."
Bulma frowned *What did he mean by that?*
~End Flashback~
Shaking her head she felt a light tap on her shoulder, turning around she saw Vegeta standing before her. *Well speak of the devil!*
"Onna.. I have something to tell you."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A/N: Oooh! *gasps* Is Vegeta finally going to tell her the truth about Earth?? Mwahaha!! That was my sad attempt at a cliff hanger, have I got all of you on the edge of your seats? (probably not LOL).
Next Chapter: Find out if Vegeta tells her about earth!! And this fic is slightly becoming more serious, but it will still have some humour in it. In a later chapter there might be a rape. But is it Bulma's rape? Wait and find out.. ~scary music come on~ (What would you guys say about that? If you don't like it LET ME KNOW so I can change it. Thanx!!
Vegeta: ~Still knocked out cold from when JluvsVeggie hit him with the frying pan. TWICE~
JluvsVeggie: ~laughs evilly, grabs her make up and starts putting some on Veggie, making Veggie all pweety!!~ Mwahahaha
~King Vegeta enters to see JluvsVeggie putting make up on HIS son~
King Vegeta: ~growls, disgusted~
JluvsVeggie: ~growls back giving evil look~ Don't make me hit you too!! ~raises frying pan~
King Vegeta: ~sweatdrops~ Continue! ~runs for his dear lil life~
Stay tuned!!
