Chapter 9 The Damned.

Bulma stood in front of the mirror and watched as her mother curled her hair. They had an hour until the festival began and Bulma was seriously nervous. Even though ChiChi would be on the stage with her she still felt that something terrible was going to happen. Her mother finished up the last curl and placed her face on her daughters shoulder. "Don't be so worried honey. You look beautiful and everything will go fine,'' she said.

Bulma gave her a sad smile and nodded. Her mother placed a little tinge of makeup on her face and a little lipgloss on her lips. Stepping back she admired her work the she grabed a belt and akle bracelet of bells and put them in place. Bulma wiggled her hips to see if they moved and nodded her exception. Berthana placed her hands on Bulma's shoulders and kissed her cheek. "You'll do fine,'' she said and left out the bathroom. Bulma looked at her image and puffed out some some breath.

The Festival

Bulma stood and peaked behind the corner of the curtains and watched to girls who were also doing belly dancing, but they did it to the song 'Snake' by R. Kelly. She gazed around and saw ChiChi running towards her. "Bulma, there's something I have to tell you,'' she gasped between breathes. Bulma waited for her to calm down before she spoke. "Ok Chi, breath now tell me what you wanted to tell me,'' she said calmly. ChiChi took a deep breath and calmed down. "Vegeta's here and----,'' she was cut off by the intercom. "WILL CHICHI MAU AND BULMA BRIEFS PLEASE REPORT TO THE STAGE,''the voice called. Bulma smiled.

"Its good Vegeta's here, but WE'RE ON!!!'' she yelled with glee. ChiChi tried to tell her, but Bulma ran out before she could speak. As she bent down she searched for any signed of Vegeta, but she couldn't see him throughout all the people.

(Ok people down here they won't be talking again. There will be Bulma and ChiChi's dance moves and all that and the lyrics to the music she's dancing to. It may sound freaky, but it's just her dance moves.)

She got down on the floor and prepared for her music to start.

Lucky you were born that far away so

We could both make fun of distance

Lucky that I love foreign land for

The lucky fact of your existence

Baby I would climb the Andes soley

To count the freckles on your body

Never could imagine there were only

Ten million ways to love somebody

She arched her back and kicked her legs up. Placed one leg on the side of the other and rolled to a standing position where she started to roll her belly making the bells ring. Placed her hand as far behind her as she could and shook her hips. Placed her hands above her and started moving her hips really fast making the bells go wild. She then moved her hands so one was by her head and the other was above her hip. Started moving forward while still moving her hips really fast.

Le do le le le lee, le do le le le lee

Can't you see…I'm at your feet

When the chours was about to come on she let her head fall back close to the ground while she gracefully moved her hands.

Whenever, Wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

ChiChi came in and her and Bulma popped their backs in and out and move their hands criss crossed across their legs as the moved forward.

And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, Hereunder

You'll never have to wonder

We can always play by ear

And that's the deal my dear.

Bulma ran in the back as ChiChi placed a hand beside her hip and the other above her head and turned to her side and began moving her whole body. Then she twisted her hands every which way and slowly went into the split position, laid her head back on her leg and arched her back and moved her hands in circles before her chest.

Lucky that my lips don't only mumble

They spill kisses like a fountain

Lucky my breast are small and humble

Bulma ran back out and got behind ChiChi in the same position. Then they swung their back legs around and so Bulma's legs were on each side of ChiChi. Then swayed their heads to the right then to the left. Then they

pulled their legs up and down while moving their arms up and down as well.

So you don't confuse them with mountains

Lucky I have strong legs like my mother

To run for cover when I need it

And these to eyes are for no other

The day you leave will cry a river

Le do le le le lee, led le le le lee

At your feet…I'm at your feet

Whenever, Wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

Then they turned back to the front and started doing the breast shake. They turned to the side again and ChiChi did the breast shake forward while Bulma went backwards. Then they both did a back cartwheels and landed in a bridge. And rolled their way back up. Then they fell on their knees hard with their backs to the audience and fell to their hands and started moving their butts their way.

And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, Hearunder

You'll never have to wonder

We can always play by ear

And that's the deal my dear

Le do le le le lee, le do le le le lee

Think out loud… say it again, yeah

Le do le le le le le lee

They stood up again and started spining letting one leg fly out then come back in. (I forgot what that's called.) Then they moved their hands in front of their face like a fan and came to a halt.

Tell me one more time

That you're there

Lost in my eyes

Whenerver, Wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

And that's the deal my dear

They then did back flips until they got to the curtains, they stopped and caught their breathes then ran as fast as they could, did front flips, turned to back flips, and jumped in the air. While in the air they went into a split position and hit the ground that way.

Thereover , Hereunder

You've got me head over heels

There's nothing left to fear

If you really feel the way I feel

As the song came to a end the laid their chins on their knees and placed their hands on each cheek, and that's when she saw him. All that those girls said was true. He was seated next Frieza and his father ,who looked really nervous, and glared at her. His eyes were so dark and cold she couldn't bare to look at him anymore. "Let's go,'' she said under her breath to ChiChi who nodded.

Both girls stood and raced off the stage, when they got behind the curtain Kakarott hugged them both and congradulated them. Bulma smiled then looked to the audience and saw that Vegeta was gone. She looked around then shrugged. She told her friends she had to go to the bathroom ChiChi said she would go with her, but Bulma declined.

She looked in the mirror as she washed her hands and smiled faintly. They had done really well and neither one of them messed up. She smiled on more time and exited the bathroom.

As she walked out of the bathroom she was grabbed roughly by her arm and jecked into a dark hallway and pushed upt to the wall roughly. She was about to scream when a hand covered her mouth. She opened her teary eyes and looked into the face of her captor and gasped. Two dark onyx eyes stared back at her.

Vegeta smirked and took his hand off her mouth, but he still held on firmly to her arm. Bulma looked him with surprise, hurt, and frightened expressions on her face. "Vegeta, what's wrong with you?'' she asked. Vegeta wiped the smirk off his face and stared at her with disgust. "You're what's wrong with me, bitch,'' he said. Bulma gasped. Mainly because of the name he called , and the rest because he said she was his problem.

"What did I do to you?'' she asked. Vegeta pushed his body to hers tightly and smirked. "You had me feeling all these dumbass emotions, and look what they got me. A lizard who malests me everynight and all because I wanted to stay strong for you,'' he said grabbing her throat. Bulma kneed him in the shin and raced out of the hall. Deciding not to follow her he stayed in the hall with a smirk on his face. All that kick did was catch him off guard.

He grinned a phycotic grin and laughed hysterically.

Bulma raced down the hall dodging people as she went and ran into ChiChi, before she could pass her ChiChi grabbed her shoulder's and hugged her. She cried hysterically in her bestfriends shoulder while ChiChi tried to comfort her. "Bulma, what happened?''she asked. Bulma gasped out all of what had happened in between sobs. ChiChi hugged her and and let a couple of tears fall as well. ChiChi pulled away and stared at her then looked away. Bulma looked to where she was staring and saw Vegeta talking with Kakarott. Bulma turned away and looked into her friends eyes.

"At least he's still friends with Kakarott,'' she said. ChiChi gave her a sympathatic look , and was about to speak, but Bulma darted away running into the gardens.

There she stumbled and raced up the hill to her secret place. It was a cliff that over looked the ocean as far as the eye could see. She sat down at the edge of the cliff and pulled her knees to her chin. She looked out over the water and listened to the seagulls call and fly overhead. The sun was just now setting under the sea as she gazed across the water.
