A/N: *cough* anyway, hey, this story is turning out way better then my last one. With all my grammar screw ups subsiding, I think I might actually have an ok story. Wow . . . O_O
-chapter fifteen-
Lunch turned out to be Goku's all time favorite meal. Catfish sticks. (a/n: what a coincident! Mine too!) He wolfed them down hungrily and ate everyone else's too. Chichi slapped his hand as he tried to take hers when she wasn't looking.
"You know, Chi," Bulma whispered to her, "I like fish and all . . . " she eyed Goku's back as he went up to the line for thirds, "but this is ridiculous."
He came back grinning with five on his plate. Krillin shook his head. "You're a sad, sad man, Goku." 18 giggled.
Lunch came and went quickly, and soon they were off to their cabins to change into their suits. Bulma was the first one finished in their little bathroom, and she suddenly had an idea. Her mom said to write . . .
She pulled out paper and a pen from her bag and started;
Dear Mom and Dad,
How are you guys? I'm doing ok. Chichi and 18 are fine too. We've made a lot of friends, and a lot has happened in the first few days.
She almost wrote "I have a boyfriend," but she knew her dad would come up to the came with his rifle and blast anyone who looked at her. She giggled as she pictured Vegeta without a head. Wait, that's not funny . . .
So, how's Kitty? I really miss him. How's the company? Stocks? I need to know these things. I'm secluded here. I'm learning some pretty weird stuff here, but that's alright. Camp's a total blast here. Guys are stupid, no offense Daddy. Well, I have to go swimming so I'll see you later then!
Your favorite daughter,
Bulma
"Ah, there," she said and folded it up. She took a deep breath, and licked the envelope and put a stamp on. When she finished writing her address, 18 and Chichi were also finished changing so Bulma left the letter on her bed.
The three girls walked to the beach quickly. There they met Goku, Krillin, and Vegeta. Bulma's eyes almost fell out of her head when she saw Vegeta strutting around in his trunks. This was the first time she had seen him without a shirt and she didn't know how deprived she had been. She took in her full of his washboard stomach, a naughty thought floated through her head at that, but she didn't notice him smirking at her reaction.
She didn't stop until 18 elbowed her, hard, in the side. "Quit it! You're giving him a big head. Take off your clothes and make him eat his look."
Bulma nodded, smiling. She innocently took off the clothes that were covering her swim suit, and had to stop herself from laughing aloud. A few other guys had also noticed the three extremely good looking girls and the only that stopped them from drooling was their own girlfriends. Bulma had on a blue and purple bikini, a good one for looks as well as swimming, plus it matched her wings, hair, and set off the color of her eyes. 18 was dressed in a orange and yellow tankini that went perfectly with her hair and Chichi had on a black bikini, nothing too revealing but enough for guys to notice.
Chichi laughed and poked Goku in the head. "C'mon, let's go out to the raft." She ran onto the dock followed by everyone else. She was about to jump in when she stopped abruptly and sat down on it, dipping her legs in. "It's kind of cold, you gu--" She was interrupted by a mouthful of water from Bulma and Vegeta, who had both jumped in and were already swimming out to the raft. Chichi put on a light scowl and was about to lower herself in when she was pushed "accidentally" by Krillin.
"Sorry Chichi! I slipped!" he said quickly when Chichi came up, looking particularly murderous. Everyone eventually got in and swam out to the raft. Goku was the first one up in front of the other kids.
"Aha! I'm the king of the raft!"
Vegeta and Krillin gave each other devious looks and quickly climbed on, followed by plenty of other guys willing to show they weren't going along with that either.
"Chichi! Come on!" Goku said happily, waving. While his attention was distracted, Vegeta gave him a violent push in the side and he went flying off. Chichi giggled.
"Shall we get on, ladies?"
"I believe we shall. Show those boys who's queen around here. Ok, here's the plan," Bulma said with a grin, treading water, "let's get Krillin off first, since he's the smallest." 18 gave her a look, but she ignored him, "Who should we push off second? Vegeta or Goku? I'm in favor of Goku, because, you know . . . he'll be a little easier then Vegeta . . . "
"I think not. Vegeta's so short! He'll be easy . . . "
But before Bulma could say something back, 18 budded in. "Paper rock scissors." (A/N: it's paper rock scissors, not rock paper scissors, ok? P.s. it's mid-west thing . . . )
Chichi won the first until Bulma insisted two out of three. Bulma won. "Alright, Krillin, Goku, Vegeta."
Bulma climbed up onto the raft innocently, brushing back her silky strands of hair. She hadn't gotten her hair wet yet. She approached Krillin after he pushed a burly looking boy off without problem. "Hey Krillin. You're pretty good at this stuff," she said, smiling. Chichi nodded. "Yup."
"Thanks guys . . . 18, behind you!" 18 quickly turned around and dodged a head butt coming her way from another strange looking girl, who went flying off the raft herself.
"See, we wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, you know, so we have decided to make a truce," Bulma continued, quickly winking at the other girls. They smiled.
"I see, what would this truce consist of?"
"Well," 18 began, "all we would have to do is shake on it, and no one throws each other off. Deal?" she said, holding out her hand in a friendly matter.
Krillin shrugged and took hers and Bulma's hand to shake it. Chichi quickly ran behind him and as soon as his hands touched theirs, they launched him off the raft with Chichi's help from behind. 18 smiled happily and waved as Krillin's head bobbed to the surface. "Oops!" After a round of high fives were passed, they moved on to their next victim. (lol! I love this!)
"Hey sweetie," Chichi said as she walked up to Goku, who had just avoided being pushed off by a little kid. "Having fun?"
Goku nodded. "Yup, this is great! Now that Vegeta's here and Bulma and him aren't fighting, it's so fun!"
"I'm glad you like it. And you won't believe who I just pushed off!"
"Who?"
"You."
Bulma and 18 ran right into him and knocked him off balance but didn't get him off. Chichi pushed him with one hand and he went soaring off the side. "Girl power," she said and gave him the peace sign.
Vegeta looked around. Where was Kakkarot and Krillin? Why were they in the water? Something wasn't quite right . . .
"Hey Vegeta!" He turned around to see Bulma and her friends coming up to him.
"Hi," he said warily. "You girls know anything about Kakkarot and Krillin in the water?"
Bulma shrugged. "Well, they are in the water . . . "
"I know that."
"Otherwise, no, I don't think so. But my memory today," she rubbed her temples, "it's just so foggy . . . "
"Real funny woman. You three pushed them in, didn't you." It's a conspiracy, he thought, fully amused at the prospect of three small woman pushing the boys off.
"You're man is brilliant, girl," Chichi whispered into Bulma's ear sarcastically.
"Don't we all know it." She turned to Vegeta. "I don't know. Did we?"
Vegeta smirked. "Doesn't matter if you did. They are back on and ready to get their revenge. In fact, they are right behind you."
Chichi squealed as Goku pretended to stumble. She went flying as he accidentally, of course, fell into her. 18 and Krillin duked it out as they clasped hands and began pushing as hard as they could the other way, advantage with 18 as she quickly turned around so Krillin was about to fall off. But he suddenly squatted down and 18 went flying over his head. "Ah, the power of short people."
Bulma saw what was about to become of her (a/n: so dramatic) and quickly sat down in the middle of the raft. "I'm not going anywhere," she said stubbornly in the middle of all the chaos.
"But on the contrary," Vegeta said maliciously, scooping her up in his arms, "your hair isn't even wet. I have to get you in."
"Put me down right now!" Bulma squealed, kicking and yelling. People quickly moved out of the way as Vegeta walked to the side and threw Bulma twenty feet from the raft with her screaming all the way.
And so the war began . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That was great!" Goku said, panting and climbing out of the water. Vegeta, Bulma, Krillin, and 18 just flew out. They walked to the beach discussing their greatest points on the raft. Bulma took her towel and started to dry her hair, when she saw Vegeta was already dry.
"What the heck! How'd you do that?" she asked incredulously.
"Powering up," he replied simply. Bulma stuck her tongue out.
"Fine, oh great and powerful one. I can do that to." She concentrated all her energy to all points of her body. Pushing it up a little, the water began to evaporate off her skin until it was smooth and dry. She had never thought of drying off that way. She slipped on her shorts but didn't button them, only rolled them down. 18 wrapped a towel around her waist, and Chichi just draped hers over her shoulder.
"What's after -- "
"Third hour with Mr. M in five minutes. We might as well stay here because its on the beach anyway," 18 said flatly.
"18, do you have the schedule memorized?" Goku asked, amazed.
"Yes."
As they took a seat on the hot sand, more and more people showed up. A few snickered at the sight of Vegeta and Bulma, but stopped when they met the death glare of the two.
"Heh, sorry," one boy said as Vegeta cracked his knuckles.
Mr. M showed up exactly at 3:35. "Well, is everyone here?" He went through role call quickly. "Alright, good. Now, yesterday went well, don't you think?" A few people gave him skeptical looks. "Alright, today we are going to work on the same thing, only we'll choose a different couple."
The lesson proved to be very interesting, as there was a lot of screaming and much profanity. Seems a guys was flirting with another girl and his girlfriend was not happy about it. But in the end they made up, of course.
"What's up with this guy?" 18 said quietly to Chichi, "How come it always turns out right? Does he have, like, magic powers or something?"
Chichi raised an eyebrow. "Nah, that's stupid."
"I guess, but still . . . "
Does Mr. M really have magical powers? Or are they just paranoid? Does paranoia play a huge part in this story, or do people really have a point? Will Bulma's parents ever find out she has a boyfriend? Will they care? And what was up with that war thing on the raft? You'll just have to wait until the next chapter of, "It Takes All Kinds"!
HEY! THUMBS UP FOR THUNDER! I'M GLAD YOUR BACK WITH ME!!!! YAY!!!! (heh, don't ever think I don't care, girl!)

p.s. I told myself I would do this more often . . . but here's a little plug.
You like DBZ? B/V? I hope so! If you want to read a story even better then mine, go to Hella and read her story, "Opposite's Attract." It's finished, but that is the best B/V story I've ever read . . . It's totally awesome! I recommend all her works! Seven thumbs up!
