Summary: Vegeta rescues Bulma and takes her back to the Capsule Corporation, but has he gone too far this time? (Very short chapter, sorry!)
The Prince and the Phoenix - Chapter 9
Vegeta watched the Earth-girl stomp off into the distance. He had to smile at her. She had some spunk, that one! Her outbursts didn't bother him nearly as much as before, and he wondered why. He found them almost humorous. He chuckled to himself when he realized that such a revelation would likely bring another storm of insults down upon his ears. He found it particularly amusing that she dared to act like that in front of him when she herself was so weak he could kill her with little more effort than taking a breath. He was still smiling when he heard her scream in the distance.
Vegeta raced over to where he had heard the scream and didn't see where she had gone. When he heard something scrabbling on the cliff below him, he looked down to see a very distraught blue-haired Earth-girl hanging onto her life by one hand.
"Vegeta, pull me up!" she screamed at him.
"Why?"
"Oh, Vegeta, don't pull any of your stupid tricks now. Pull me up or I'll never speak to you again!"
"And that's supposed to be an incentive to rescue you!" he smirked back at her. "Rescue yourself!" Vegeta turned around and walked away from her.
"Vegeta! Vegeta!!!!! All right! I'll do whatever you want! I'll fix the Gravity Room without complaining! I'll cook you a super big dinner! For a whole week!" Suddenly, her hand slipped, and she felt herself falling to her death on the rocks below. Just when she would have impacted, Bulma felt strong arms beneath her lift her up and into the sky.
Bulma didn't talk all the way back to the compound. She just curled her head into Vegeta's muscular shoulder and cried the entire way home. Despite her sobs, she was fully conscious of the moment Vegeta slightly tightened his hold around her when she started to shiver from the cold of being wet and flying through the air at such high speeds.
