Chapter 4 - Diva Dancing Vegeta

Authors Note: Oh my gosh.I can't believe it's been so long since I've uploaded! To tell the truth I had forgotten I had found this in one of my drawers of paper a long while back and simply forgot about it. I've actually lost a little interest in Dragon Ball Z from the lack of new episodes and always re-runs. I've gotten into anime's like Inu-Yasha and Escaflowne and have been obsessed! ^.^;; So the person responsible for this chapter and hopefully a few more chapters is Demonstarchild who gave me a review and reminded me of my story! Thanks and hope you enjoy this chapter!

Bulma just stood in disbelief on what she had just witnessed, the arrogant Prince had told the bell boy/man that they where going to the dance. When did he ever enjoy dancing? And furthermore, did he even know now to dance? But soon Bulma's train of thought was soon de-railed by a gruff, angry sounding voice.

"If you think for one moment that Yam-yu-chu is better than me at anything, you are so far wrong, that it makes Kakkarott's stupidity level look small" Vegeta barked and tossed the coat of his tuxedo into the air and raised his palm, sending the article of clothing to the next dimension. He was now only left in his white formal undershirt and black pants, and frankly, looked quite sexy in it. Turning his back to bulma he began to make is was to the ballroom, leaving a still stunned bulma back in the gardens.

When bulma had finally caught up with Vegeta they had just entered the Ballroom, with a quick glance around couples where already crowding the dance floor while the others conversed at tables sipping their drinks. The room was quiet large with different sizes of glowing stars on the walls and ceiling, from the roof in the four corners of the room hung white silk sheets cascading down the wall like a waterfall.

Bulma looked around in amazement, taking in the 'magical' feel to the place and then turned to vegeta and spoke "Its.just amazing. Don't you agree?"

"Feh" was the only answer she got out of him before he turned and sat down at one of the empty tables, the look on his face told he was already regretting his prideful decision.

Bulma smiled over at him before heading over to the refreshment table to get them both some drinks. Many bottles of Wine, Coolers and a bowl of punch littered the large table as she glanced over them, and then took a quick look at vegeta. Did he even drink? Taking a moment to ponder of what to get him she simply shrugged and made her specialty drink. Taking a glass she poured half the glass with punch and then the rest with white wine, sprinkling a little sugar over the surface to give it a slight sweet taste. After she made two, one for vegeta and herself, she began back to the table when she glanced over to a table where two men sat, smiling and nudging the other to look at her. She smiled lightly and winked before heading over to vegeta and handing him the drink, but he didn't notice bulma had returned, he was too preoccupied with glaring at the males watching Bulma.

"VEGETA!! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!?!" She screamed into his ear she he let out a yell and rubbed his throbbing ear tenderly

"What is the big idea you wrench!?" Vegeta hissed, and then the drink caught his eye.

"I SAID here is your drink. I didn't know what's you'd like so I got you the same thing as me so you wouldn't think I was trying to poison you or something" with a smile she handed him the glass and watched as he sniffed it carefully and then eyed her.

"Hmmm." he mumbled and then took a swing of the drink, allowing the cool liquid to run down his throat, while this was happening, the sweet smell of the alcohol filled his nostrils and intoxicated him. A virgin to this 'Alcohol' stuff.

"What.is this?" He asked curiously and looked from the cup to Bulma

"Its Half punch, Half white wine and a little bit of sugar" She took a swing back herself and swallowed. Vegeta watched curiously, much like a little puppy. Looking back at his own drink he thought of something ~if a little bit tastes good.then surely a lot will be even more delicious~ chugging the glass back he grinned somewhat foolishly and inwardly laughed.

Bulma's attention was soon diverted to the voice coming over from the D.j.'s booth as he spoke "Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen! Our dance plan for tonight is we start off with a Funky more fast beat then mellow down into the slow and romantic..but to start us all off today, we will play a slow song to get the mood going. Grab your partner and let's get this show on the way..." As the voice faded the music began to arise. Bulma instantly recognized that it was Brandy - Have you ever. With a light sigh she slid back down in her chair, watching the couple dance, holding each other close.

Vegeta watched in disgust at this human ritual, the only time a sayain ever had to dance was on the Mating ceremony if one ever went through the process. Other Sayians went out to clubs only to get meat drunk and then to mate randomly with willing women, but Vegeta found this rather degrading. Taking a glance at Bulma he frowned as she almost looked close to tears as she gazed on to the couples on the floor. With a sigh he arose from his seat and grabbed bulma's arm, dragging her onto the dance floor.

Blinking twice bluma found herself being dragged towards the dance floor, her face flush as she realized vegeta had been pulling her on his own will. Stooping he turned around and looked down at bulma, an unreadable expression on his face. Gingerly he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling their two bodies close, while bulma wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on the crook of his neck as if on instinct.

As the song continued and the couple slowly rocked back and forth, a few sets of lyrics caught Vegeta's ears, making his heart give a slight tug.

'..Have you ever had someone, steal your heart away? You'd give anything, oh, to make them feel the same. Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart, But you don't know what to say, and you don't know where to start..'

Vegeta frowned lightly, this tugging at his insides made him feel so..weak. It simply made the prince want to wretch. But he also enjoyed the feeling of another body close to his own, a body that wasn't mangled from him blasting at close range and fell on him that is.

As the song continued, another set of lyrics caught bulma's attention, and made the blue haired woman wonder.

'What do I gotta do to get you in my arms, baby? What do I gotta say to get to your heart? To make you understand, how I need you next to me. Gotta get you in my world, cuz baby I can't sleep'

The song ended and bulma was left in a pure bliss, dancing under the stars along with the music..yes..there was something odd about the lyrics.

~It's as if the song was sung about Vegeta and I- wait! WHAT AM I THINKING!?!~

"Woman..the song is over" Vegeta looked down at Bulma, arms still around his neck and her head on his shoulders. Bulma blushed and jumped away "I.must be feeling the side effects from the drink.." she said sheepishly and cursed herself for letting him see her like that.

"I wouldn't doubt it.." he said with a smirk and retreated back to his chair, awaiting a decent song before showing bulma what he could really do.

___________________________________________________

Song after song passed, most of them with a stupid tune or he hated the lyrics, but songs weren't the only things that passed. Drink after drink passed, and bulma began to worry as he chugged his 13 th glass.

"Aren't you drunk at all? Woozy? Tired??" She questioned, unsure if it was healthy for a man to have 13 drinks on his first night of drinking.

"No.why do you care woman!?! Huh? AWNSER ME!!" Vegeta yelled angrily, Bulma sweat dropped and shook her head sadly

"Uhh..Vegeta..im over here"

Snapping his head in the direction of where the voice came from he blinked and made out the blue haired woman. He paused and looked back to who he was talking to, and came face to face with a coat rack. Turning back to her, he gave a menacing-drunk look to bulma "Say anything..and I'll kill you." With that sentence along he arose to get another drink from the table.

Bulma let out a breath, light smile on her lips "This is going to be a looooong night"

After refreshing himself with drinks 5 more times a song rang into his ears, a fresh tango like beat, with acceptable lyrics and a good rhythm. Jumping to his feet he grabbed bulma's arm once more and raced to the dance floor, causing her to spill her drink in the process.

"VEGETA! You made me spill the punch all over the friggin place!" Bulma hissed as she paused to listen to the music. It was 'Ain't it funny' By Jennifer Lopez, a faster song..almost sounded like tango.

"Too bad, now why don't you shut your mouth for a change?" He grabbed her hands and lead bulma into the tango, shocking her on his dancing abilities, especially from being as drunk as to scream at a coat rack. As Vegeta and bulma began to display all the moves of tango, swirling, dipping, they didn't even notice that the dancers had stopped and created a circle around the pair, cheering on the spectacular show.

As the song ended Vegeta immediately walked back to his chair, arms crossed over well built chest. Bulma remained a few moments while people commented on how good they where and how they should enter contests and such. She then made her way back to the punch table and glanced back at vegeta

~ This really has been the post perfect night, I got to have a wonderful dinner, not seeing that lying kisama Yamucha, and vegeta even danced with me on his own will! It's not very romantic but still, this is the most you can get when vegeta's here~ Bulma giggled and walked back over to Vegeta.

After a while the music really began to slow down, it was nearing 1am and that's when the dance would be over. Once again the D.j's voice came over the speakers; the room stopped and looked at him.

"Well this is the end Ladies and Gentlemen; the last song goes out to all those couples out there, so goodnight!"

Vegeta said nothing as he stood up, bulma was about to protest as she thought he was leaving when he held out his hand to her with a small grin. With a smile she placed her hand in his and stood up, both wandering out to the dance floor.

Without hesitation Bulma wrapped her hands around his neck and rested her head back in the crook of his neck while his arms slid around his waist. As they began to sway in rhythm to the song a strong scent filled his nostrils, leaning his head down to bulma's hair he took a beep breath and inhaled her sweet scent. The scent was more intoxicating then the drinks she had given him, making his insides twist and turn.

Bulma listened to the song, it calmed her, and it was one of her favourite songs. It's was 'Through the rain' by Mariah Carey, a song almost fitted for the mood she felt. It seemed like the song trailed on for quiet a while, time has seemed to slow down and maybe even stop. Slowly opening her eyes she looked up to see vegeta, a determined look on his face as she suddenly realized the wind sweeping past her, but the warmth of vegeta's body so close as he cradled her in his arms kept her warm. Looking up at the sky the moon was in its crescent state and the stars glimmered like tiny fireflies in a blanket of black. No sooner as she awoke vegeta landed on the balcony of her room, walking into the room and setting her on the bed. As he turned around to leave bulma suddenly spoke up

"Wait.." Vegeta halfway turned and looked to her in silence.

Bulma smiled, her eyes glimmering like sapphires under the moon's haunting glow coming from outside her window "Thanks for everything.I had a really good time.."

Only receiving a grunt he walked out and flew down to the gravity chamber for the night, stumbling slightly from the alcohol as he disappeared inside. Bulma walked out onto the balcony and watched him leave and the gravity chamber start up. "You hide so much under that mask..I only with I could see that man underneath"

And with that whisper she walked back inside to prepare for tomorrow and get some sleep.
