Things of the Past
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: Whatever it is, I don't own it. ^^;
Three fifteen year old girls stepped out of the Teleporter. "So, I was like 'Well, daddy, if you didn't want me to like one of them, you shouldn't have introduced me to them!' and he just blasted the poor boy to nothingness," Bulma said, shaking her head in disapproval.
Juuhachigou nodded. "Oh, my GOD, I know what you mean. I hate it when daddy kills off the suitors," she added in frustration. The three girls sighed sympathetically for each other.
They joined up with the rest of the FRO (Four Rule Order) group, as the other students liked to call them. As they passed other groups of 'normal' students, as in not of the Four Rule planets, they usually heard envious or jealous comments. Today was no different.
"Oh, geez, there's the Fuckin' Rude Ones group," one girl said and rolled her eyes. Juuhachigou glared at her, but Bulma and ChiChi avoided her gaze. That version of 'FRO' was the most common insult they heard from jealous students. It wasn't their fault that they were the most stunning students at UJI.
Bulma, with her beautiful, blue hair, added the exotic beauty to the group of females. Juuhachigou had dangerous, glinted eyes and pretty blonde hair. ChiChi put in the 'Girl-next-door' look. Big, brown eyes, but looking so innocent while being gorgeous at the same time.
Vegeta was easily the most handsome male of the school. He seemed to have eyes that went on forever and ever, but the girls would only admire him from afar since he could be quite mean, except when it came to Bulma. Bulma often blamed Vegeta for all of the girls that hated her, saying "It's because they all like you and you're only nice to me!" Kakkarot put off the same sense that ChiChi did, the innocent 'Boy-next-door' image. Krillin was a huge sweetheart and had captured many girls' hearts just by smiling politely and waving. Juunanagou had the same icy, blue eyes that his sister did. He had shoulder-length black hair that the other FRO guys made fun of him for, but he'd always retorted that the ladies that followed him around didn't seem to mind it. Yamucha had ruggedly handsome looks, as well as a placed scar across his cheek, and the girls of the school swooned over him, believing him to be a 'bad boy.'
ChiChi and Kakkarot hugged while Bulma walked up to stand next to Vegeta. She noticed that Juunanagou was missing from their group. Krillin was talking to Juuhachigou and Yamucha was off in a corner talking to some other girl from their graduating class.
"Where's Juunanagou?" Bulma asked to no one in particular. Vegeta shrugged in a careless manner. She looked over to the end of the hall.
"Ladies, please, I have to get--hey, now, watch where you put those hands of yours!" Juunanagou cried out, fighting off his normal hord of girls whom followed him everywhere.
"Juu! Over here!" Juuhachigou waved him over. Her brother sighed in relief and made his way over to the rest of the FRO group. He sighed and shook his head, pulling a scarf out of his shirt that one of the girls had put in it.
"Such the ladies man," Krillin winked. Vegeta "hmph'd" and leaned back against his locker.
"Aw, poor Veggie is jealous," Bulma teased, laying her head on his shoulder. They were always teasing each other and saying mean things, but everybody in the school knew that they held a tight-knit relationship. Messing with one was like messing with the other. They were the best of friends.
He frowned and shrugged her head off his shoulder, "You wish, woman."
She nodded. "You're right, I do, because daddy killed off my latest suitor," she said sadly. He raised an eyebrow.
"Again?" he asked incredulously. She shook her head.
"Last time it was Zarbon-san who killed him," she corrected him. He chuckled quietly before glancing at the clock on the wall.
"Class-time," he announced and the others nodded. They all walked off to the same classroom they had been in for the past ten years.
~*~
"He just drones on and on," Yamucha drawled, making twirling motions with his hand. Krillin nodded tiredly as he was trying to recover from almost falling asleep during class.
"Professor Sal is?" Bulma asked as if he was crazy. She thought that he was an excellent teacher! Yamucha tugged at his droopy eyes in a mock attempt to open them back up from being so bored whilst nodding. She smirked, an irritating habit she had picked up from her male-counterpart.
Speak of the devil.
"Hey, Veggie-chan," she greeted Vegeta as he exited the room. She had first adopted that nickname for him when they were twelve and he hated it. He had long since stopped yelling at her for it though and just gave up on the matter.
"Oh, man, I'm hungry, guys," Kakkarot whined as he, Juunanagou and Juuhachigou walked out of the classroom, as well. ChiChi grinned and poked him in the stomach.
"Ow, Chi," he said, rubbing his stomach.
"Let's eat some grub!" Juunanagou said, heading off towards the cafeteria. As predicted, the swarm of girls came running towards him, but he was prepared. He took his orange scarf in hand and threw it behind him. Predictably, the girls ran towards the scarf to see who could get it first.
"How many of those have you lost trying to get rid of girls?" Bulma asked curiously. He stopped in the hall and began counting his fingers. After a moment, he stopped and shrugged.
"Lost count." They all shared a laugh and Bulma linked arms with him as they all entered the cafeteria.
Kakkarot cried out in happiness and ran up to the aisle with the shortest line, the cafeteria lady mumbling about "Damn Saiyajin and their appetites."
After each grabbing a plate full of food, they all took a seat at their normal table. It had never been established or said aloud, but the other students knew never to sit at that table. Bulma didn't know why because she knew that none of the FRO group would really care, but she supposed that they were intimidating with their status in the universe. It made her upset at times because they were really nice to the other students, the other students just weren't nice to them.
"So, graduation. Two weeks," Yamucha began the conversation. The others nodded solemnly except for Kakkarot who was busy stuffing his face.
"We'll still stay close though," ChiChi said, staring at Kakkarot fearsomely. It was frightening the way he ate.
"Hell yeah, baby," Juuhachigou said with a giggle.
~*~
Bulma raised her hand enthusiastically for the umpteenth time during seventh lesson. Vegeta rolled his eyes at her. It was her best lesson: Chemistry.
"Yes, Miss Bulma?" the teacher asked without even seeing her hand raised. Bulma cleared her throat before delving into a long explanation of what would be the answer to the question on the blackboard. Juuhachigou and ChiChi stared at her incredulously as she went on for about five minutes.
Krillin finally slapped his forehead before interuppting her, "BULMA. We get the idea." She glared at him before slouching back into her seat. Juuhachigou and ChiChi were engaged in a discussion about their previous lesson: Universal History. They had been discussing the upbringing of the Four Rule Order. Sure, each child present had already been told the history by their parents since it was something they needed to know, being royalty or supreme nobility of their respective Four Rule planet.
Twenty years prior, the northern half of the galaxy had been ruled solely by Lord Frieza of Aisusei. The southern half had been ruled by King Vegeta of Vegetasei. The two halves and their empires did not get along and many wars and complications resulted in the thirty-year-long feud between the two empires. Eventually, they came to an agreement that they would each still rule their halves of the universe, only they compromised with a treaty. Each ruler was tolerating the other.
Two years later, King Ichigou of Adajinzounsei had come into the picture and got into the treaty with Lord Frieza and King Vegeta. The universe was then split into three areas with each ruler reigning over one of them.
Even two years later after that, King Roshi of Chikyuusei had joined in the fun, so to speak. The universe was finally split into four parts which was the way it would stay, with each ruler having one of the areas--North, South, East and West.
Each Four Rule planet ruled harmoniously with the others and would all meet in council and decide on a course of action if any disputes were to take place. If they were undecided, however, or disagreed, Lord Frieza was highest in position and would make the final decision. So far, they hadn't had any disagreements.
"Bulma!"
Bulma shook out of her thoughts and looked up at Vegeta. She gave him a questioning look.
"Class is over, baka!" he said, pulling her up from her seat. She allowed him to drag her from her seat, completely ready to go home and rest. She still had plently time to be a nervous wreck about graduation in two weeks and she was just starting to hit that phase.
Next chapter: graduation time! They'll be fifteen still in the first half of the chapter and then twenty-five in the second half. After that, they'll be twenty-five for the rest of the fic (I think). Hope you liked! And hey, I got that out pretty fast... well, fast for me! ^-^
