Chapter 7 The Mask Ball

I am so SORRY that I haven't updated. I just haven't got the inspiration till now and I had a lot of stuff to do at school. This is the chapter you have all been waiting for; it's the ball where the soul mates are fated to meet. ENJOY! R/R!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*

The dawn broke bright and cheerful over Vegetasei as the six teenagers wake up. The girls head toward breakfast. After finishing the preparation for the ball begins and nothing and I mean nothing can stop a girl from making herself look beautiful.

Bulma combed her hair with a dreamy look upon her face. She was thinking of the man she had met yesterday. His name, for now, would be the "Dragon Man". The chance of meeting him was slight, but he could be there.

"Hello?" 18 said as she knocked Bulma on the head.

"Huh? Sorry, I was just spacing out." Bulma replied.

"Bulma has a crush!" ChiChi jeered in a singsong voice.

"Whatever". Bulma replied and continued to comb her aqua hair.

Elsewhere and later.

"Hurry up Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled.

"Hold on. I am just adjusting my mask." Kakarot replied as he positioned the mask perfectly.

"We still have to fly all the way across town to the girls school." Remarked the masked shorty.

"Its no big deal. We still have five minutes before it starts! It will take us like a second to fly there." Responded Vegeta.

"True". Krillin said.

At that exact moment the girls started walking to the gym and the boys were flying across the city. The dance had been well decorated in a perfect Saiyan form. There were already several people mingling and dancing together. Barely anyone recognized anyone else; unless they had bought masks together or had come together.

Vegeta searched futilely for the flower mask or a cerulean tail. Bulma also searched for the "Dragon Man". While the two continued their search there friends turned to the vast crowd of disguised Saiyans.

Kakarot and Krillin mingled and traveled through the crowd looking for a girl to dance with. Krillin looked dashing in his mask of curling red flames. He caught many a girl's eye, but none so far had caught his. Kakarot was faring the same so he headed toward the food table. To his luck a girl was there too. She seemed to be getting a glass of punch. Kakarot decided to help her; he poured the punch for her and flashed his boyish smile.

"Hey, thanks. That's a cool mask." ChiChi complimented. "Its not that great." Kakarot blushed, "Yours is way better. It has that butterfly on that flower.Yeah." "Uh huh. Want to dance?" ChiChi replied with a coy smile on her face. "Sure". Goku swung her on to the dance floor.

Krillin had decided to request a song. As he was heading over to the DJ's table, he accidentally bumped into someone. He stood back up and shook himself free of the dust that had gathered. A lioness stared up at him; he offered a hand, which she refused.

"What did you think you were doing, baldy?" 18 growled. "I was trying to . um. ask you if you would dance with me." Krillin asked timidly while making puppy dog eyes. 18's eyes softened a tiny bit. "Well than let's dance", she answered.

The two couples danced on while their friends hunted for each other. Vegeta looked around and then suddenly he saw himself. It was probably some pathetic loser trying to suck up to him. He would disregard that wimp for now; he had other things to chase. Vegeta strained his eyes to look for the sapphire hair and tail. Suddenly out of nowhere she appeared talking to someone. He stalked toward her.

"May I have the pleasure of a dance?" Vegeta asked bowing. "Its you! Of course!" Bulma replied gleefully. "And who may I be?" Vegeta asked smirking behind his red dragon mask. "The "dragon man". We met in the shop." Bulma replied as he swirled her around the gym. "Oh, I see." Vegeta said mysteriously.

"THE UNVEILING OF THE MASKS WILL BEGIN IN FIVE MINUTES. BE PREPARED!" An announcer said over the P.A.
