Chapter 3
Bottled Soul
Bulma sat down at her table continuing to drink her Coke. She felt bad for Yamcha, but he did dump her. but poor Puar! She stared at the stage as the host randomly pulled people up to sing a song. Unfortunately for Bulma, she was close to the stage, and the man pulled her up by her hand. The hot lights shone on her nervous, sweaty face as she faced the audience. ~ Man, I really wanna kick that guy right now. ~ Her eyes widened in shock as the slow songs came on, Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On. ~ I DON'T LIKE THIS ONE BIT! ~
However, Bulma relaxed herself as she thought of Vegeta, and thought this song was perfect for her current feeling for him.
Bulma parted her lips to let her beautiful voice sing.
"Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you, That is how I know you go on"
Yamcha put down his drink and stared at the stage.
"Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you go on"
At the Gravity Room, Vegeta woke up and started flying to the club.
"Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on"
Vegeta walked in wearing sunglasses and a black, leather jacket to hide himself. He nearly fell right there when he heard Bulma singing.
"Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go till we're one"
Vegeta choked and understood, and felt her loneliness.
"Love was when I loved you One true time I hold to In my life we'll always go on"
"Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on"
"You're here, there's nothing I fear, And I know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart And my heart will go on and on"
Stunned, Vegeta walked out the door and back to Bulma's house. People threw one or two roses and some loose change. Bulma picked everything up and handed the money to Yamcha, who was staring at her with his jaw wide open. She smiled at him "It's the least I can do for Puar right now. Tell her I hope she gets better soon."
Yamcha was dumbfounded at her kindness as she left the building. He silently whispered "Thank you," as the door shut.
Bulma drove home with tears in her eyes, knowing what she'd come home to. A yelling Vegeta. As soon as she walked in she ran to her room and locked herself in. Vegeta was left staring at a closed door, cursing his little emotions and his deep feeling for her.
Bulma refused to talk to Vegeta or to even look at him. They haven't spoken to each other in an entire day. However, Vegeta's last words to her rung in her ears as if they were just spoken.
"I don't need to show gratitude for anyone, especially a bitch like you who tries to poison and starve me!"
Bulma winced remembering the painful remark. Not knowing what to do, she just sat on her bed, remembering her past. All the good times she had with Yamcha, collecting dragon balls with Goku, everything was fine for her then. But it seemed that Bulma was just doomed for loneliness.
Bulma stared at herself miserably as she changed into her pajamas. Her eyes were red again from crying. Why was she suffering while he felt nothing? She did not understand. As she put on her slippers, she set the alarm for 5:00 in the morning to go to work.

Vegeta got bored after his training and sat in front of the TV on the couch. Again he had his coffee with him. He stared at the TV, but did not really see anything, because he was thinking about something else. Bulma. The way she sang today, her eyes seemed so hurt singing it. The way she sounded, everything was beautiful. His heart melted when the corners of her eyes were trimmed with glittering water, crying over what he did to her. He blinked, trying to get Bulma out of his head and threw a blanket over himself as he shut his eyes. Tomorrow would be a new day, and maybe Bulma would talk to him. Vegeta lay still as he let darkness fill his eyes.
~Vegeta was walking in a rainforest, a beautiful one on Planet Vegeta. He smiled as he stopped and looked at the plants, the plants he knew and grew up with. He never felt so happy before. He continued walking, in his tight, black tank top in the warm woodland. It slowly started to rain. Vegeta always loved the rain on his home planet. It was always warm and soft. He lay on the grass, closing his eyes as the droplets hit him. He treasured the feeling of the rain as he let himself get soaked. In the shower, he felt something smooth and relaxing touch his chest. He opened his eyes and was surprised to see Bulma sleeping beside him. Vegeta smiled as he pulled Bulma close to him as she slowly woke. Vegeta played with her drenched, wet cerulean hair. He felt water trickle down his face as he saw a tear shed in Bulma's eye. He wiped it away, frowning that he had caused her to cry. Vegeta leaned over to Bulma slowly and closed his eyes. Slowly, their lips touched, and it grew into a kiss that Vegeta had always longed for and never experienced. It grew deep, and surprisingly, he did not pull away, and forced it to go further. Bulma passionately kissed him back. This went on for several minutes; Suddenly, Bulma pulled away. Vegeta was confused at this, but was screaming in panic as he saw what was happening to his love. Roots from underground were emerging, wrapping themselves around Bulma. Vegeta yanked desperately at them, but they did not budge. Vegeta could only painfully watch as Bulma was pulled underground, angry at him and staring away from him. Vegeta's eyes were blurred with tears as he heard Bulma scream and cry for him to help. Those cries were slowly silenced as she was suffocated by soil. Vegeta lay and let the tear escape his burning eyes. He stared up longingly into the sky as he saw the blue sky. As blue as the eyes of the girl he had let down. ~
Vegeta sat up straight breathing heavily and ran upstairs. He quickly wiped his sweat away as he burst into Bulma's room. She wasn't there. He looked at her clock, which said 5:27. ~ She left for work. It was only a dream. ~ Vegeta sighed as he went to the kitchen to have breakfast by himself.
