Chapter 5 There is Work to be Done
A month passed away without much happening, except for the work that had to be done to the spaceship Kami had left behind. Mister Popo had pointed them in that direction and Bulma was now studying Namekian as well as modifying and repairing the ship with Allure's assistance. They talked about many things together and slowly became friends. Bulma felt terible, but she still couldn't help feeling jealous of Allure, even though they were friends now. Allure on her part felt that Bulma felt guilty and confused, but for the life of her couldn't figure out what she was so worked up about.
One day however, when Vegeta came to see the works and stopped to speak few (rather harsh) words with Allure, she saw Bulma turn away. She also noticed that the look of jealousy had become more pronounced in that instant. She then saw Vegete glimps at the woman. She looked at Bulma too and noticed that the woman was stunningly beautiful for the first time. She and Vegeta were obviously attracted to each other, but Bulma somehow seemed to feel she, Allure, was in the way.
She decided to speak about it to Bulma and also warn her that Vegeta was not likely to allow himself to get attached to her, even if he was attracted.
She waited for Vegeta to leave, then proposed to Bulma to take the rest of day of and go for a picknick together. So they got cleaned up and left with a basket full of food, enough to feed an army, or in this case a saiyan named Allure.
Allure chose an open spot so she could see people coming as well as sense them. She wondered at how to open the conversation when she noticed Bulma staring out in front of her, but not seeming to see anything.
Gently, she laid her hand on Bulma's shoulder as she had done the first day of the saiyans arrival on planet earth, again startling the human female. 'What is wrong, Bulma?'
Bulma stared at the open and honest face with the friendly amber eyes and seemed at a loss for words. '
Is it about Vegeta? You can tell me. I've noticed you looking at him you know.'
Bulma flushed 'I'm sorry....I...' Bulma stuttered, then broke out crying.
Back at Capsule Corp, Vegeta felt a strange jolt go trough him. First he thought it was Allure, but then he realised she didn't feel that way at all. It was like he had acquired a second link, but he didn't know who's. Oh well, he shrugged and continued with his trained: meaning he knocked Nappa out, when he sensed it again. Pissed at himself , he closed it off entirely for the first time in a decade.
Back at the clearing, Allure had finally managed to calm Bulma down enough, to ask her what was wrong. 'Hm....' Bulma felt so mean for the crush she had on her friends boyfriend, but somehow she felt Allure had a right to know, so she started: 'Well, it's just.... I'm in love with Vegeta. I'm so sorry Allure. I just can't help myself. I know you guys are close, like married or something, but I just feel for him.'
'Oh Bulma, that's perfectly okay. I can share Vegeta. It's no big deal, he's not my possession. And what is married?'
Bulma stared at her in shock; she was willing to share?! As if in trance, she answered 'Married is that two people promise to stay together for the rest of their lives.'
'OH, like bonding. I think our way is better then, because bonding binds two people together for all of eternity.'
'But they are allowed to go with other people then?'
'NO! They are faithful for ever and don't even think about another when the bonding is made properly. They will find each other in the lives to come by the bond. It's a feeling like coming home after a long road of obstacles and being welcomed in with open arms. If the bond isn't renewed the two will whither away without each other, but if they're strong, they might survive. That won't do them any good though, since they will feel haunted and tormented for the rest of their lives.'
'But then why did you say you could share Vegeta. Aren't you bonded properly?'
Allure stared at her for a long minute, then started laughing uncontrollably.
Bulma looked at her with a sinking feeling. Had Allure only been teasing?
Well you guys, that's it for this chapter. Thanks for beta-reading of this and previous chapters to Chas.
