Disclamer: Blah blah blah... I don't own it...
AN: Last chappy was pretty unevenfull, but I guess that things will get more interesting from here... You know, there wasn't any lemon, but I just HAD to bring chibi Trunks into the picture... I won't tell anything else! Anywayz, this fic is coming to an end (4-5 chapters left) and the last chapters will be more interesting... I hope. Frieza's plan will come into action... But that can wait. Oh, and check out Areosmith's "Dream On" (If I'm correct, Eminem used the song in his new single, but I'm not too sure... heh ^^; not a hip-hop expert...) and Led Zeppelin's "Dazed And Confused" and "Kashimir". They're great!
Chapter 11
The Song Remains The Same
Vegeta's POV
Heh... I swear, that Woman never ceases to amaze me... Body of a weak ningen and a mind of a Sayia-jin. Plus unnatural inteligence, but she'll never hear that coming from me.
Sometimes I wonder – what has become of me? I'm a soft, weak Kakarotto-like idiot for Kaio's sake! I can't decide if I want to be that or not... Now that really confusing and confusion is one of the many things I don't like. How a man who killed millions can be loved, huh? I'm not a damn madman which Earth's history was full of, BUT... This word – but – it's always plaguing me. It's a symbol of my uncertainity.
If I have to destroy something, I don't have any doubts, but when it comes to building... Oh, great! Now I'm questioning my motives, my existence etc etc blah blah blah... And the worst – I'm talking to myself. It's happened before, but not so frequently as now... Aaargh, shut up! Shut up, you hear me? Of course you can hear me, you are ME! What I am to do NOW I ask you? You don't know...? Am I going nuts or something...?
I'm in the shower now, so my head is filled with strange thouhgts. My brain must be always preoccupied, when it has to much time to wander, I fear it wanders too far...
I watch the water with fascination, once again re-thinking all recent events and, against my will, a large smile spreads on my lips.
- Oh yes, it will be a good day – I said for the first time in my life and instantly I felt better. I belive that is something that ningens call "self-confidence" or something like that. I'm not really sure. I'm never sure of anything when it comes down to those stupid ("with exeptions" my stubborn brain added) humans.
I shook my head, turned off the shower, dried myself and stepped out to the living room. She was already there, dressed in her training outfit. Oh, Kaio... Be strong, Vegeta, be strong...
- Well... shall we? – I asked, showing her the way to the GR. She only smirked evilly and went in. I took a second to relax and followed her.
Bulma's POV
Ok, now I'll show this stuck-up monkey WHO rules here... Sure of myself, I entered the GR and strode the way to the control pannel in a few steps. I waited for him while he stepped in, closed the door and I set the gravity for 7g. I winced at the pressure, but I quickly gathered my pathetic ki and concentrated not to fall before him. Damn that asshole!
I could feel him watching me, thought exactly I don't know why... My siencetific mind simply couldn't comprehend that. Oh well.
- What are you staring at, huh? – I snapped at him, but he only smirked.
- I can't train in this pathetic gravity, so I decided that I will entertain myself by watching YOU struggle with... 7g – came the swift reply, followed by a awful chukle. Why, oh why must I love him? Of all the creatures in the entire Universe... – You can start with those katas I've tought you. They shouldn't be a problem, even for a weakiling like you... – he added and in that moment I wanted to rip his head off, scrach his eyes out, brake all his fingers and many other things that I will not list here, becouse it's an PG-13 story.
- As you wish Your Majesty – I spoke through clenched teeth and started my warm-ups. Kami why was he STARING?!? I sighned and stopped for a moment. – Sire, it would be great pleasure for me if you do something else than look at me, damnit!!! – I exploded, punched the control pannel and before I could react, we were both on the ceiling.
- Oops...
- What the HELL did you do you stupid Woman!!! – my Prince bellowed and tried to stand up/down (that depends on ones point of veiw).
- Hehe... Who would've thought... A small mistake... Hehe... really... – I stammered
- WHAT DID YOU DO?!?! – he was angry now. Thank Kami he couldn't move.
- You see... We're in minus gravity... I don't know how it is possible, there's no "minus gravity" in sience, but I guess the machine's broken and an anomaly like that could be possible... Though the reactor...
- How can we get down? – he snapped. I guess he didn't want to listen to my siencetific speech... Ha! My secret wepon!
- We have to wait untill the GR turns itself off. I set the timer for... 5 hours.
- 5 hours?!?
Now what's up with Mirai Trunks, Goku and the rest of the Z-senshi...?
- We HAVE to get out of here, or else Trunks-san will disappear! – Gohan said while trying to think up an escape plan. – We should've have and emergency plan ready, in case something like that happened.
- But we don't have that so shut up and think – Piccolo growled at the young demi-Sayia-jin. Were all 9-year-olds that lively? He decided to blame it all on his father's influence. Son could be so dense sometimes...
- I think I've got something! – Krillin shouted happily
- Quiet idiot, they might be listening! – Tenshinhan snapped at his friend and seconds later he returned to his meditating state. – Besides, I don't think that anythig you say might save us.
- Heh... an optimist, I see... Listen: I admit that if Bulma was here it would make things easier, but now we just have to rely on Gohan.
- Gohan? – Namek-sei-jin raised a sceptic eyebrow
- Yes. He is the smallest and... let's face it... the smartest. – Krillin stammered before receving a few glares. – Yes he is! With all that sience that ChiChi put in his head... I think he might be able to shut this thing down.
- What the hell you're talking about? We need to get out of here, not turn the damn thing off! – Piccolo was really getting tired of all this.
- Would you shut up for a second and listen to me?!? – The small man exploded
- Why you little...!
- Piccolo-san! – Gohan stopped his mentor from trying to hurt his friend (yes – trying. Krillin was accually stronger than Piccolo in this anti-ki chamber) – Please, listen to him, I think he has an idea!
Krillin sighned and positioned himself between Trunks and Goku, as far from Piccolo as he could.
- Thank you Gohan – he said – Now, let's continue. Where was I? Oh yes. Only Gohan can get out of here and save us, becouse he's the samllest. You see that little hole in the wall up there – he pointed at the ventilating system. Everyone nodded. – Ok. I think that it leads to the control center of the anti-ki chamber. If Gohan got out from here, he'd be able to use his power. He'd easily defet the guards, turn off the machine and free us. Are you following?
- What is a ventilation system? – Goku asked out of the blue. Everyone face-valuted.
- Erm... yes... – a harge sweat drop formed on Krillin's forhead. – Other questions...?
Everyone shook their heads "no"
- Good...
Now we're getting back to our favorite couple!
Bulma
- 3 hours. – I sighned. We were sitting on the blasted ceiling for 2 hours and that is 120 minutes, 7200 seconds, 720000 miliseconds... This was just getting better and better...
Vegeta managed to sit in his meditating position, so he wasn't talking, and I was bored out of my mind. I could use a good argument right now... Kami, am I going nuts or something?
- Vegeta? – I asked. He grunted. That's good... at least he can hear me. – Do you you know any songs?
- Any... what?
- Songs... You know what a song is, don't you? A rhymed text that goes along with music...
- I know what a song is, Woman. I just don't understand why you're asking me that! – he said, annoyance clear in his voice.
- Wellll... We could... sing someting? – I asked once again, my voice getting smaller with each syllable. He glared at me. Oh great.
- Sayia-jins don't sing often Woman. Only on special occasions. And rotting here on this damned ceiling is not what would I call a "special occasion". Besides, I don't like your ningen music – he snapped. He was still angry with me? Oh, whatever.
- Hmpf. Do whatever you want Vegetable. I'm gonna sing, and you're not going to stop me. We humans love singing and music so there – I sticked out my tongue like a 3-year-old and tried to think of a song that I could remember. Than it hit me. One of my favorite childhood songs. How could I forget?
-"There's a lady who's sure all that
glitters is gold
And she's buying a
stairway to heaven.
When she gets there
she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can
get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's
buying a stairway to heaven."- I sung the first few verses, closed my eyes and relaxed even more.-
"There's a sign on
the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes
words have two meanings.
In a tree by the
brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our
thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me
wonder,
Ooh, it makes me
wonder.
There's a feeling I
get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying
for leaving.
In my thoughts I have
seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of
those who standing looking. " – I paused for a second, becouse I thought I heard something. And than I
heard it. A soft, strangely soft voice, quietly ending this part.
- "Ooh, it makes me
wonder,
Ooh, it really makes
me wonder." – When
someone says that "one's jaw hit the floor", the meaning is metaphorical, but
in my case, that accually happened. The Sayia-jin no Ouji was singing with
me!!! Aaa!
- Umm... Vegeta? – I asked
fearfully
- Yeah? – he
muttered, not opening his eyes.
- You've been listening to MY CD's, you asshole!!! – I yelled to get his
attention. He looked at me strangely.
- What makes you think that?
- Becouse you know the lyrics!
- And? Is listening to the music forbidden?
- No! But you just said that you don't like it!
- So?
- So what?
- What makes you think that I don't like your music?
- Becouse you said so!!!
- I could change my mind!
- In 5 minutes?!
- Yeah!
- Ok. You'll sing with me?
- No.
- What! Why?
- Becouse.
- Why becouse?!?
- Becouse I can't sing, okay?!? – he blew up. Uh huh... What an admission... What a blow to his ego... I couldn't stand it. Seconds later the GR was filled with my hysterical laughter.
- What are you laughing at, you stupid Woman?!? – he raged. His face turned red. That made me laugh even harder.
20 minutes later...
- Are you done? – he growled. My laughter decreased only to light giggles.
- Yeah... I think...
- That's good.
Vegeta
Arrgh! Can't a Sayia-jin sing once in a while? And what was that Woman thinking? Laughing at the Prince of all... Oh, nevermind. I've been saying that for so long that even I'm tired of this... odd, isn't it?
Anyway, that Woman's crossed the line this time. I told her something and she had the audacity to... laugh at me like that. And I really like this song... I just couldn't help it! And it's true – I've been listening to her stuff... But what's wrong with that?
I just happen to like the same bands. I can't remeber their names, becouse those stupid ningens don't do anything right and they call themselves such stupid names that it's beyond me to understand them. That's, of course, all becouse of their stupidity.
I glared at my Woman, but she only smiled back. I simply don't get her sometimes... I even created the first law of Womanisics:
Woman (in that case: Bulma) + an idiot that fell in... ugh... love with her (that's me) x stupid ningen tradition + a lot of arguing / moronic admissions = total disaster x 2 / cons. cataclisms
We have 2 hours left. I wonder how am I going to stand them.
Back to M. Trunks & the Z senshi!
All of them were currently standing on one another and Gohan was trying to reach to the handle 30 centimeters below the ventilation.
- Higher, Trunks-san! – he squirmed
- I can't Gohan-san! I'm too weak for that!
- Son! Don't step on my ears! – Piccolo said in the annoyed voice
- Sorry Piccolo, but I can't hold Trunks properly if you keep shaking like that! – Goku whined
- Hay! Watch it Krillin!
- My nose!
- Uh oh...
- Almost there! – Gohan yelled and grabbed the handle – Yeah! I did it! Trunks-san, you can let go of me now.
- O... Okaaaaaaay! – Trunks lost his balance and all Z-senshi stumbled on the floor
- That hurt, you know. – Goku said, rubbing his head.
- Oh, shut up. – Namek-sei-jin muttered
- Gohan, are you there? – Krillin shouted
- Yeah! I think I see the exit! – came the muffled reply of the demi-Sayia-jin
- That's good! Go there and see what you can do!
- Ok... Wait there!
- Like we have a choice – Tenshinhan sighned. A few minutes later they all heard ki blasts, and within another minutes, they felt their power coming back.
Just in that moment, the doors opened
- Well, well well... What have we here? You're cunning little bastards, I admit...
Mwahahahaha! A cliff-hanger... You won't guess who's that! *more maniacal laughter*.
SORRY for the late update, you probably want to skin me alive now, but I've been away. Without a computer. That was just pure torture. Heh... I hope you liked that chapter – I sure did! Wow! This flu must be really getting me if I say such things... BtW, I know this argument between Bulma and Vegeta was pointless, but I wrote it just to show my parents how they look when they're having yet another fit. I showed them only that part, and they were... hmm... Embarassed. I haven't seen them argue for week now. Hehe. Victory!
