Summary: Vegeta interrupts Bulma as she's trying to patch things up with Yamcha, but when she throws him out of her bedroom, he throws her in a lagoon.
The Prince and the Phoenix - Chapter 7
When Vegeta finished his workout early the next evening, he left in search of the Earth-girl to make him some dinner. All day long, snippets of their conversation kept floating through his mind. What bothered him most was that he knew what she said was true. That third-class Kakkarot WAS stronger than him. The baka had achieved Super-Saiyan while he, Vegeta, had not. That's why he trained so hard in order to finally achieve his true potential. He wanted to find the woman and tell her she was wrong. He didn't have to love in order to be the best. He would achieve his destiny in spite of her foolish notions.
When he didn't find her in the kitchen, Vegeta headed up towards her sleeping chambers. He thought he heard her talking in there, but he didn't care what she was doing. He rapped loudly on her door and yelled, "Woman! I'm hungry! Get out here and make me some food!"
"Vegeta! I'm on the phone! You'll have to find your own dinner. I'm going to be awhile." She answered back.
Well, that won't do, he thought. Vegeta opened the door and barged right in. He heard her say, "Hang on, Yamcha. I have to kick a very rude Saiyan Prince out of my bedroom."
"Vegeta! Get the HELL out of my room, you rude abominable ape! This is my personal space! Don't you know you NEVER enter a lady's room without permission?! How dare you interrupt my conversation with Yamcha when we're finally sorting out the mess you caused last night! You've done enough damage, now GET OUT!" With every sentence, she drove him a step backwards until, before he knew it, the door was slammed in his face. He heard her through the shut door pick up the phone and resume her conversation with Yamcha. "I'm sorry, Yamcha. What were you saying? Oh Vegeta, he's just being his normal pain in the posterior.."
The next moment Bulma saw her bedroom door fly across her room, and she was being flown by her collar out of her bedroom window into the sky above. Her father's entire Capsule Corporation compound could hear her screams as she soared into the clouds.

"Oh, Kami! Oh, Kami! Don't drop me! Vegeta, put me down!!!!!!!!" Bulma wailed up to her assailant.
"Shut your mouth, woman! I'm sick of your crying!" He slowed his speed and swooped down to a small island below them. In the middle of the island was a waterfall and a lagoon. As he flew over the water, he dropped Bulma into it. As she came sputtering to the surface, he called to her from the shore, "Maybe that will teach you to be a little more civil to the royalty among you."
"Why! Why, you BRAT!" she screamed. Then, the foulest language he'd ever heard assaulted Vegeta's ears. He wondered how she could scream so much without seeming to take a breath. He suddenly laughed out loud when it struck him that he would have to do far worse to her than just dunk her in order to clean that mouth of hers.
"Vegeta, you are impossible! I demand you take me back this instant!" She was now merely inches from his face. It disconcerted him a little knowing she had to look down to talk to him.
"You are making demands on ME?!" He couldn't believe her nerve.
He expected a heated blast of obscenities to follow and was utterly surprised when she sat down on the sand and began to sob. He had to strain his ears to hear her whisper, "Please, Vegeta. I just want to go home. I just want to talk to Yamcha."
"What?! That, baka! What are you doing still associating with him? He won't ever change." He looked at her, and seeing how very unhappy she was, he almost began to doubt that dunking her had been one of his better ideas. He was further puzzled why he suddenly cared.
Bulma laid back in the sand and stared up at him. "Oh, Vegeta! You'll never understand. Yamcha's been a part of my life for.well.since Goku was a little kid! He may have his faults, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up on him!"
Vegeta found himself staring at her and realizing how beautiful she looked even though she was all wet and had been crying.
"Hmpff," was all he said and turned away.
She was silent for a long time and when he turned back to look at her, she was still looking up at him.
"What is it, woman?!" He asked in his most annoyed voice. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Don't get so bent out of shape. I was just wondering why you didn't kill me back there or all the other times I've smarted off at you. And, why are we here now? Why did you bring me here, Vegeta?"
"I don't know why I brought you here. I thought this was the only way to teach you some respect for your superiors. I come here sometimes. Sometimes to meditate and think about things."
She sat up again and looked at him closely. "What do you think about, Vegeta? What do you think about when you're all alone?"
"I think about how good it is to not hear your yapping voice all the time!" he snapped back at her.
"Fine! I was just asking!" She got up and started to make her way across the beach back in the direction from which they came.
"Woman! Where are you going?! It's miles back to the compound! How will you get there? Swim?!" He called after her.
The finger she held up was all the response she gave him.
