Thanks for the great reviews, ChibiMirai, Raptor! ^_^
Chapter two: I have a tail too!
Bulma and Vegeta walked next to eachother down the sidewalk of South city, together, but in an equal tense silence that made it seem like they were miles apart. There were people passing by, talking in merriment with eachother like they were friends for years, and other occasionally stopped to talk with Bulma, but those two in particular acted like buildings: Always next to eachother, but they never talk.
Finally, Bulma was feeling a bit too awkward walking with her 'boyfriend' like this, so she wanted to start a conversation. "So, you're name's Vegeta, right?" she began.
"..Yes," he muttered, turning his head the other way and looking across the street as they walked. He was obviously in no mood for talking.
"Well, nice to meet you! By the way, why'd you move into that house?"
"Why do you care, woman?"
" Don't call me woman! I want some respect! And I care because you're my boyfriend!"
"Who said?"
Okay, things aren't going as I planned, she thought. This guy is such a stiff for a guy that looks even cuter than Yamcha. He needs to loosen up. Maybe if I hold his hand again, he'll be more willing to talk.
Bulma reached out for his hand, taking it into her own. She noticed his was so much bigger than her, and very strong. He had this grip that no matter how hard you tried to get out of, would seem impossible. Personally, she liked it.
"Okay, so we got off on the wrong foot Vegeta," she said. "But now that we're together, you have to talk to me! I'll keep bothering you until you act nicely- Hey, that's Goku!"
She stopped in the middle of her sentence to see one of her closest friends, the martial arts master Goku. He was only sixteen now, but he still hadn't changes a bit. Sure, he was a little taller, a little stronger, okay a lot stronger, but his personality didn't flaw. He was still sweet and innocent, and as dumb as a rock. Strange that he was passing all of his classes.
"Hi!" he said as he waved to her. Bulma let go of Vegeta for a second and ran over to hug her friend. He only hugged her lightly, knowing that his strength could easily crush Bulma, and besides, even though he and Yamcha were good friends, he could easily get jealous. But when he peered over Bulma's shoulder, he didn't see Yamcha, but another person. His hands were stuffed into his pockets and he looked very impatient.
"Who's this guy?" Goku asked as he let go of Bulma. She smiled.
"Oh, that's Vegeta! He's the new kid who lives in that white house that's been vacant for so long. And besides, Yamcha was sick, so he's pretending to be my boyfriend for the day."
"Yeah, you wish," they heard Vegeta muttered. Then the young man with spiked hair noticed the long fuzzy tail Goku had. His eyes widened.
"How did you get a tail?"
"I don't know," he shrugged. "It's always been there, but it has always gotten me out of a jam. People seem pretty surprised I have it. Why?"
"Humph."
Vegeta's shirt was a dark black, very loose and not tucked in his denim jeans, with buttons down the front. He started to unbutton a few in front of the two, who were curious why he was doing so. As soon as he had gotten all of them undone, he slipped it off, revealing his well toned muscles, and sitting around his waist was-
"A tail!" Bulma and Goku shouted at the same time, amazed. The tail unwrapped itself around his waist and started to sit lifelessly down his back like a cat's tail, occasionally curling a little around his leg and letting go.
"I didn't know there was anyone in the world with the same deformity," Vegeta was just as much surprised at this other boy. To be honest, he thought they looked alike. Black hair, the onyx colored eyes, and it seemed he was pretty muscular himself. Maybe he's up for a fight?
"Do you also have a lot of strength?" he asked. Goku nodded.
"Yup! I got second place in the martial arts tournament when I was twelve! And I even perfected the Kamehameha wave!"
Oh, that's great, Vegeta thought. I have so much in common with this kid that we might even be related...yeah, right. To someone like him? Tch.
"Oh yeah," Bulma looked back at Goku, ignoring Vegeta as he put his shirt back on, letting his tail stay instead of putting it around his waist again. "Goku, where's Chi-Chi?"
"She's not feeling well," he replied. Then he laughed. "Both Chi and Yamcha! Must be because of the school lunches yesterday!"
Bulma laughed along with him. After all, those two were the ones who did eat the school lunch yesterday. Bulma brought hers in a capsule, as did Goku. Then she grabbed Vegeta's hand again.
"Okay, this is Goku," she started. "He's my friend. He goes to school with us. Chi-Chi is his girlfriend. They're gonna get married soon because they're birthday's are on the exact same date (well, we don't know Goku's but we just made it the same), and that's Christmas Day!"
"Lovely," he replied sarcastically. "Are we going to this blasted school of ours or not?"
"Humph. Fine, let's go Mr. Nice guy!"
The three of them walked to school, exchanging conversations (well, mostly Goku and Bulma) until they reached their school. Along the way they met Krillin, a short young man a year older than Goku with no hair on his little head. He seemed a little afraid of Vegeta, standing on Goku's side for protection. He was also a Master of Martial Arts, trained by the great Master Roshi along with Goku, but wasn't nearly as strong as his tailed friend. He lived next to Chi-Chi and Goku's house so he could always get food meals fit for a King.
Anyway, they reached the school, which was only a few blocks after Goku, Chi-Chi, and Krillin's houses. It was the only high school in South city, as large and wide as Capsule Corp itself. There were exactly one-hundred and twelve rooms, all the same size and closed in with exactly thirty-two chairs and desks. One desk and chair of course, for the teachers. Then there was the Gym room and the Cafeteria, the office, the nurse's rooms, and the bathroom. It was a very organized school, something you didn't truly expect form a place like this.
"Goku, Krillin," Bulma started, getting to two boy's attention. "I'm gonna take Vegeta to the office to get his schedule, okay?"
"Okay!" Krillin said, running ahead to the building. "Catch ya later! I'll tell Mrs. Holly where ya went!"
"Yeah!" Goku agreed, following him.
Bulma tightened her grip on Vegeta and pulled him into the school building, his tail swishing back and forth. The funny thing was, no one seemed to notice, like they all had their own tails.
"This is odd," he said, more to himself, but Bulma caught it.
"What is?" she asked.
"No one cares that I have a tail."
"Oh yeah! People once in a while will say it, like newbies and stuff, but let's just say Goku is really popular around here, so everyone's used to it!"
This was certainly a weird place they moved into, Vegeta thought to himself. Then he smirked, thinking no, this place has certainly gotten weird. He didn't remember being here much, but knew this was where he was before he was adopted. There was only one friend he had back then, a sweet girl named Bulma. To be honest, he really wanted to see her again, just to show her that he kept his promise of coming back. He was going to do that later today, then this girl came out of nowhere. What was her name? Eh, whatever, like he needed to know.

"It's been a half an hour," Yamcha said to himself as he lay on the couch. He'd been relaxing on the couch the whole time since Bulma left, feeling a little worried, and then thinking that Goku had a knack for coming when there's trouble. He sighed, leaning his head on the arm of the couch, his legs crossed formerly across it. "Chi-Chi should be here any minute now."
Yamcha closed his eyes, intent on resting. Before the preparations he and Goku's girlfriend had in mind. It was going to take a lot of work, after all, and he didn't want to get tired. He heard footsteps in the room, and assuming it was Chi-Chi, opened his eyes and sat up.
"Oh," he said, a little disappointed. "Good morning Mrs. Briefs."
"Hello dear!" she replied cheerfully. "I was hoping Bulma's Father was around. I had this coffee made for him, since he's helpin' with the preparations but I guess he went out to get some parts in town or something."
Coffee, he thought. Sounds good right about now.
"Well, I'm not gonna let go to waste. You want it Yamcha?"
Yeah, it'd be my pleasure.
"Thanks Mrs. Briefs," he said, taking the cup out of her hand and sipping only a little. "Do you know when Chi-Chi will be here?"
"No dear, I'm not sure at all," she answered. "But I'm sure she'll be here soon, don't worry."
Then Yamcha heard the front doors open up automatically, and the sound of footsteps. This time, however, they belonged to the person he was waiting for.
"I'm here now!" she said happily to Yamcha. "Good morning, you guys! I can't wait to get started!"
"Me neither," Yamcha said, standing up. "You got some of the supplies?"
"All the ones you asked for! Bulma and Goku will love this!"
I'll bet your wondering how Vegeta could be thinking of meeting up with his old friend when she's standing next to him! Well, go back and look at all the dialogue: Not once will you hear Bulma's name!
I hope you stayed tuned for the next chapter! You'll find out what Yamcha and Chi-Chi are planning!
