Shorter chapter, but hey, I put up two at once, so don't complain.
Chapter 10: Temper Temper
Nick confidently walked into the lab to confront Bulma about the instinctual relationship between Vegeta and herself. He knocked on the door, hoping to keep on her good side as long as humanly possible.
"Come in! Oh, hi Nick. Do you need anything?" She seemed pretty cheerful; putting up the illusion that everything was dandy. But looking from all the blood and junk on the floor, well he could gather what had happened. The contraption she had been working on must have broken and fallen on her. He must have failed to notice the crash because of his stare down with Vegeta. She looked fine now and in a decent mood, so he decided to go ahead.
"We need to talk…about Vegeta, you, and your new…instincts. I think you'll be a more willing student than Vegeta. And the main reason for this talk is him and his attitude."
She nodded, "Why don't we go into the kitchen and eat, I'm starving." Her stomach audibly agreed with her as he growled. He nodded and smiled. Maybe the food would help sate her for a while. As soon as she got to the kitchen she made several huge sandwiches. Huge was meaning over three feet tall and a plate wide. She passed him one and proceeded to eat the sandwich Goku-style. He was slightly disgusted, but went on to eat his sandwich too. She had eaten three sandwiched when he decided to start his lecture, or at least attempted to do so.
"Bulma, do you have any feelings for Vegeta?" Wrong question. Bulma stopped eating, eyes popping out in surprise.
"What?!" She cried incredulously. "ME have feelings for that…that beast! No, why?" Having had cringed behind the table in fear, her sudden change in mood unnerved him even more than if she had kept screaming at him.
"Well, Vegeta is being rather…territorial. Especially when you're around. I think he sees me as a threat to his mate…(Insert Bulma's read face and low growls here) or prospective mate. I mean you should be flattered. Two guys fighting over a GORGEOUS girl like you. Huh, huh *nervous laughter * I mean, come on me and Vegeta fighting over little 'Olli you." This isn't working; she's still pissed. He kept on praising her for the next half-hour, until he was sure that she wasn't going to kill him. Man, she's most definitely Alpha material. Just like Vegeta. I think they're made for each other. He kept on talking and explaining the facts and falsities of werewolf mythology and legends. Everything was going well with her asking questions and him answering them. That was until she asked a certain question, that being; "Why'd you ask me if I like Vegeta?" and his answer being; "Because there has to be something between you for him to take you as him mate." With him realising what her question had been and then adding in Bulma's explosive temper, well you get the picture. Soon she was eight foot tall and hairy. Chairs, dishes, silverware, kitty cats, Goku (who had come over to spar, with Vegeta, duh), and several other household items. "How dare you consider that low-life jerk a possible mate for a beautiful…" that remark was lost on him as he ducked a borage of knives. In a way he deserved this. He had bitten, giving the old adage "biting off more than you can chew a whole new meaning", and inadvertantly insulted his hostess. Goku land on top of him. Maybe not.
"Hi!" Goku said in his usual cheery way, "She seems a little upset."
"A little!" He rolled, rolling Goku off to avoid a steak knife.
"Yeah, she can get worse. Man, what did you say to her?" Goku jumped to avoid the kitchen table. "Quick, behind the island!" Both males jumped behind the small counter, barely being missed by a cauldron.
"What do they need a cauldron for?"
"Well they do cook for a Saiyan. Chichi has five. Makes a lot of soup," Goku said with a idiotic smile on his face. Slowly the number of items flying through the air shrunk and the curses became scarcer. Now five cats and several of Dr. Briefs various pets, Oolong (as usual hoping to get a picture of Bulma naked, had soon found himself flying through the air at Nick), Yamcha (having come over to make up with Bulma, again. Also found himself propelled through the air by the she-wolf), Puaru (followed Yamcha, literally), and a bewildered little gnome dude had joined the Saiyan and the wolf behind the island.
"Oh. Well, I think she's thrown everything but the kitchen sink," Goku said cheerfully. Crunch! Roar! Thunk! The kitchen sink flew at the right angle and conked Goku in the head and knocked him out.
"Hmm…She did through everything, even the kitchen sink!" Oolong said between fits of laughter. Goku had most stupid look on his face. Even Bulma started to laugh, eventually putting down the refridgerator and stove. Vegeta came in to investigate why his sparring partner (Goku) was still in the house and what was all the commotion about.
"Woman, what are you doing and what is that?" Vegeta pointed to the gnome, which was still sitting there frozen stiff with fear. Oolong prodded it. "Hey you! Who are you?"
"Oh, sorriezz zirz. Me Iggler. I have message for Master Nicholas.
What is the message for Nick? Who sent the little gnome? Are these evil cliffhangers or little impish ones? Stay tuned for the next chapter of Lunar Eclipse.
