Oh thanks you guy for such nice reviews! ^_~ Thank you soooooooooo much! I
love them! ((((((((((((((((((((((
Oh and if some of you think it's a short story, it isn't. There will be a lot more twists as the story goes on, so don't think I'm putting up the main plot too early, okay?
Chapter Three: Happy Anniversary?
Bulma walked Vegeta through the halls of their school quickly, dragging him by his hand by a rag doll. He noticed how strong her grip was on his hand; she was certainly strong for a girl, that's for sure.
A she was also right about the tail. Sure a few people noticed his furry companion swinging around and occasionally curling around his leg, but most people just waved it off, muttering something about another Goku.
"Here we are!" Bulma said as she shoved open a glass door, knocking someone over on their feet. It was a fat man, short, with wild and messy black hair.
"Sorry Yajorobe," she muttered before continuing to the desk. The classmate muttered some curse words under his breath before picking up his belongings and walking off out the door.
"Hi Mrs. Denim!" Bulma said cheerfully as she waved to the woman behind the desk. She pulled Vegeta to her side then let go of his hand, and he quickly recovered into a pose that showed boredom and annoyance all in one, letting his tail swing back and forth.
The woman with red hair pulled back into a tight bun looked up and smiled cheerfully. "Oh Bulma!" she said. "How are you dear?
..Bulma? The Bulma Briefs?!
"Great, Mrs. Denim! I brought a new student, and he's a cutie, too!"
She turned to Vegeta, and even though she hadn't known him for long she already expected him to look away with a hard and cold face, but she found him staring at her with complete amazement.
"Vegeta, what's up?" she asked him.
Kami, and I've been talking to her all this time. But how could she act like such a brat?
"Veggie-head, hello?"
His mind flashed back into reality again, out of his thoughts when he saw what he now realized as his childhood friend waving his face.
"Woman, stop it!" he demanded. Bulma put her hands on her hips and it looked like she was trying her best to keep from her throwing an outburst.
"Bulma, I think you should go to class now," Mrs. Denim said nervously, obviously seeing daggers. The future owner of Capsule Corp. stared at the secretary for a moment in a deathly sort of way, and then she stormed off and through the door, very angry.
"You should never get Bulma angry," she advised Vegeta.
"I really couldn't tell," he replied in sarcastic tone. "She wasn't like that when she was little though. Brat."
"Don't say that about her!"
"And just what are you going to do about it?"
Mrs. Denim definitely took it as a threat, already finding that this boy had a negative reputation. He smirked, and in his hand formed a little glowing ball. She gasped, showing surprise and horror at the same time. What the heck did he do, and would he really use it to hurt her?
"My Trainer was Master Tao," he said in almost an absent tone. "He taught me a lot of things before he went on a mission for the Red Ribbon Army. Many things that could get anyone hurt. People who talk back to me are the people who get hurt, so watch your back."
After that he simply asked fro a schedule, feeling very satisfied that he already scared the living daylights out of someone.

"Yamcha, come help me with this!" Chi-Chi called from the top of a ladder. It had been nearly five hours, and she and Yamcha had worked non-stop to set up the party they were planning on the special occasion.
Yamcha, who was currently setting up the tables with food (lots of it because of Goku's appetite), ran over to Chi-Chi who was having trouble putting up the banner.
"What do you need help for?" he asked her.
"What do you think?! The other side of the banner can't go on by itself!"
Note to self, he thought. Don't ever ask her about 'the obvious'.
Luckily Dr.Briefs always had more than one ladder, possibly because he was always building things and needed more than one. Yamcha grabbed a nearby one, a silver ladder that was lying flat against the ground near a corner and made sure it was perfectly safe to climb before going to the top. He was about ten feet away from Chi-Chi right now, and he supposed she could toss it over.
"Okay, hand it over," he said in a normal one.
"Argh!" Oh great, what did I say now? "Yamcha, you idiot! How can you throw something this light ten feet over? You're gonna have to climb my ladder and get it yourself!"
Excuse me, your highness, he thought. But there was no way in hell he'd dare say it. Because of his lack of training this year, Chi and him were just about the same in strength, and well, her temper always made it seem like much more. Sighing, he climbed down his own ladder and climbed up her to get the banner. Then he went down, then up again, and they put the banner up easily.
"Thank you," she said in a cheerful tone. "I'm gonna go work on the streamers now, so you continue on doing the food, okay?"
"Sure, Chi-Chi," he replied.
~
"I guess I'll see you two later!" Goku said as he ran off towards his house. Bulma waved cheerfully also saying her goodbyes until tomorrow, while Vegeta just stood there and waited for her to finish.
Bulma turned around to him, and decided to walk again, and he followed.
"So, did you have a good day?" she asked.
"It was fine," he replied like it was nothing. Then he smirked. "The teachers there are fun to talk to when they're scared of you."
"Don't do that!"
"And why not?"
She tried to think of a real reason why he shouldn't scare the teachers. But then, she couldn't even really think of a reason why he shouldn't do it, she would love to scare the teachers. She would have been scared of Vegeta, with that ki ball he had wavering near Mrs. Denim earlier. She saw it, along with a few other students. It looked kina like the Kamehameha wave.
"Can't think of anything?" he asked. "Good, Bulma."
Hey, had she even told him her name before? He must've heard it out of someone else's mouth. Oh well, it's a lot better than being called 'woman' that was for sure!
The two walked together home in an easy silence, nothing to tense or too comforting. It was one step in front of the other, and both were aloof in their own minds, thinking of what to say after the other started. No real conversation went up until they came to Vegeta's house.
Vegeta walked across the street to his new home with Bulma following him, and they noticed the moving van was gone. In the front yard were two twin boys around twelve or so Bulma was annoyed with earlier, and then there was the little girl still with the soft and white fuzzy bunny. She was in the middle of the boys, and she was even crying as they ran around her laughing in a mischievous way. Then it was the first time Bulma noticed a deep look of concern on Vegeta's face.
"What are you two brats doing?!" Vegeta shouted as he raced over to the little girl's aid. The two immediately backed up, a little surprised and scared. Vegeta picked up the little girl who looked no older than a year or two and held her in his arms in an affectionate hug.
So, Vegeta has feelings after all, Bulma thought. And for a little girl, too! How cute!
"Are you alright, July?" he asked, wiping a tear away from her face. The baby girl sniffled a little bit, then nodded. "Those brats didn't do anything did they?"
Another nod.
"Honest, Vegeta!" the boy on the right said. "We didn't do anything wrong!"
"Yeah!" the other said. "We were just having fun!"
"So it's fun to make July cry? Fine. I think it's fun to make you cry too." Vegeta stood up, still holding his little sister's hand, and with his other free hand he shot multiple ki balls at the in anger. They were very small ki balls, mind you; they weren't large enough to kill anybody, just hurt someone.
Both were hit because they didn't bother to move, and they felt backwards, sliding all the way on the grass until they hit the side of the house with a loud 'thump'! Both slumped down the wall, knocked out.
"Geez Vegeta!" Bulma shouted, running by his and July's side. She hit the teenager on top of his head, but he barely flinched, only rubbing it a little naturally. "You didn't have to knock them out!"
"They didn't have to bother me either," he said sharply, putting his hand to his side. Bulma sighed.
"But they didn't do anything to y-"
"If they bother July, then they're bothering me."
He's really overprotective of this girl, isn't he? Well, he really didn't have to hurt his brothers, but I think it's sweet that he loves someone that much.
A moment or so after a woman who was thin and beautiful with silky auburn hair and pretty green eyes came out. She didn't notice the twin boys at first, but came straight to Vegeta, who was a few inches taller than her. It was then Bulma realized that July was an exact replica of her, only her hair was shorter.
"Vegeta, what did you do?" she said in an icy tone. Bulma noticed there was a frying pan in her hand, and that was practically a symbol of a tough Mother. But the young man simply picked up July in his arms like a loving Father would to his daughter, and looked in the direction of the house. The Mother saw her sons lying over in a mess.
"How many times have I told you not to do that?!" she shouted, slamming the frying pan on his forehead with a loud clang. Unlike Bulma's fist, this one looked like it actually hurt. "Stupid, Stupid Vegeta! Do not use your ki on the boys!"
"Humph. Yes Mother," he snorted, nursing his head. It seemed that after the apology she was much more cheerful, putting a joyful smile on her face and turning to Bulma.
"Oh, that's sweet! You've got a girlfriend already!"
"She's not a mate, Mother. She's an old friend from when I was here before."
Huh? Bulma thought. What is he talking about? An old friend? He must be making something up. His Mother seems to think that, only she's taking me and him the wrong way. Don't I wish I could say to someone like her, 'I'm using your son for the day so I can feel like I have a boyfriend while mine is sick.'
"Oh dear, don't be shy! I know you don't like talking about your feelings or personal relationships, but I'm sure we'll be seeing her around more often! And- Oh, what's your name sweetheart?"
"Bulma," she replied. "Bulma Briefs. My Dad owns the Capsule Corporation Company."
"Oh Vegeta, you made friends with a rich and beautiful girl!" she squealed, full of happiness. "Oh, you got the right girl alright!"
"Shut up woman," he muttered. It was a good thing His Mother couldn't hear him, or else he'd be at the mercy of the frying pan again.
Bulma started up again in her own head, thinking of ways to get away from this tension that she felt slowly rising. Maybe I can invite Vegeta over to Capsule Corp. to meet Yamcha and Mom and Dad..Hey, that's a good idea!
"Well, Mrs...uh."
The Mother of the house turned to Bulma with a loving expression as if they'd known eachother for years. "Jaid. Mrs. Aurora Jade, Bulma. Now what were you going to say?"
Jaid. Aurora Jaid. July Jaid. Vegeta Jaid. Nice name. Bulma Jai- Oh, don't be thinking like that girl! You're much smarter than that! I oughta slap my self on the head for that one!
"Oh, I was going to invite Vegeta over to Capsule Corp. to meet some more of my friends."
"Can't." Vegeta snorted. "I've got training to do."
"But Vegeta," July said, tugging his shirt to get his attention. "I want to see the big house Bulma lives in."
Within a few seconds, Vegeta said, "Fine" but in a much more compassionate tone since he was talking to July. He waved a swift goodbye to his Mother, that looked more out of habit that for affection and walked down to Capsule Corporation, which was only a few houses down.
~
"Perfect," Yamcha thought. "Chi-Chi went out to get Goku and the others for our Anniversary party, and everything is going to plan. The moment Bulma walks through that door, it will be like we've been together for officially three years"
Yamcha was very proud at the decorations he and Chi-Chi worked so hard to do for a surprise for Bulma and Goku. Every light that was hung on the ceiling had streamers and bells, every sort of decoration you could find. It would be a great party, and a great time for him to ask Bulma for marriage. Sure, he was eighteen and she was seventeen, but then again not too many people went on journeys to rid evil and at the same time find Dragonballs. Yup, there relationship sure was special.
He heard the door in the front slide open and he assumed it was Chi-Chi with everyone. But when he turned around, he saw none other than his Love Bulma. She was so beautiful, and over the day she must've taken her hair down. How could he forget it was in a braid this morning? Everything about her was everything he wanted.
Then his heart split in half. Yes, of course, Bulma the beautiful was walking in, but beside her was another man walking in. And what was in his hand..a child?!
Bulma looked around and was amazed by the decorations, and she saw Yamcha standing there with a look like he was about to cry.
"Hey, Yamcha, this is really cool!" she said happily. "But what's wrong, you look sad."
...Happy Anniversary?
I hoped you guys liked it! That was hard to write, you know! Well, the little review button is right over there in the corner so click away!
Thanks for the great reviews again: FayeBebop2021, ChibiMirai aka Silenced, and Neko-chan for chapter 2!
