DISCLAIMER: I don't own DBZ, no duh! Dragonball/Z/GT belongs to Akira Toriyama and FUNimation. Yahoo! owns itself, as far as I know.

-This story is very loosly based on DBZ. It's more like my version of the modern Goku, Bulma, Gohan, Piccolo, ChiChi, Videl, Miyu (Vampire Princess Miyu), Yamcha, and the like. Don't get upset if you don't like spinoffs. I find it fun. This little diddy is dedicated to my Goku-san, my one and only love. I love you baby! PS Gohan, in this story only, is going to be his best friend instead since Goku is a teenager.

Dont Turn Away

B/G

It all started with a simple instant message. Bulma spotted a certain 'SN' in a Yahoo! chatroom one day, and had decided to buzz the owner. Neither of them knew that such a simple act could have such a huge impact on the rest of their lives. His name was Hypersaiyen_Son_Goku, and he seemed rather interesting in the room, so the teal-haired teen IMed him. They talked and talked, driving Trunks completely bazerk because of his sister's constant poking at the keys. Her face brightened up the more they talked, a banana smile took over her face for what seemed like an eternity to Ms. Briefs and her son. She was happy for once. The first time in a long time.

Goku, was his name, and he lived in Florida, she came to know. The two talked like a couple of old gossipy women, as if they had known each other forever. Bulma was soon to discover that the boy was also looking for the Dragonballs. She was a bit suprised that he even knew what they were since no one else knew.

Within months of the consistant blab on the internet as well as on the phone, the two were becoming best friends. They had known each other for about a year or so when Goku found out about Vegeta... Bulma's new boyfriend. He had just strolled into her life one day and she decided to take him out from the dark cruel world and make him a happy man. Who wouldn't be with Bulma Briefs? When Goku heard the news, he had been prepared to ask Bulma to be his, but no such luck came to the saiyan. The poor thing was miserable, unable to have what he really wanted. Bulma, on the other hand, wasn't even sure she was doing the right thing. So many decisions were determined by Vegeta, that Miss Briefs was completely turned around.

Poor Goku though. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, completely alone, but then SHE came back into his life. ChiChi. They had gone out before and she had broken his heart. However, he had stopped caring at that point and went out with her.

Bulma found out soon enough through an email. She was happy for him, only because she was happy in her own relationship, thinking Goku was only there as a distraction and that Vegeta was the only one for her. How wrong she was.

Goku seemed to be happy with ChiChi, but not unreasonably happy. The burnette beauty was a bit controlling and incredibly posessive. She loathed the fact Goku and Bulma were friends, and Prom was out of the question. The relationship was going no where and the two broke up.

Bulma, on the other hand, continued to talk to Goku via email and phone, but not nearly as much as she talked to Vegeta. She figured he'd want to talk more. Wrong. Vegeta thought he was in love with the hottie, he was sure he was, but the distance was far too great. It affected everything about the relationship. Funny thing was, Bulma and Vegeta had never met in person. They too met online, through Yahoo!

Goku was miserable and Bulma was starting to be. She had fallen in love with Son Goku. She couldn't help herself in the least bit. She was starting to think she had been in love with him since day one. The more she thought about it, the more clear it became: she was with the wrong person all along. Vegeta and Bulma broke up that November....

But Goku was with ChiChi again.

Bulma sighed and had to carry on.

There was this kid, Drum, she called him, that caught her eye. He had the prettiest blue hair and he was a martial artist, just like Vegeta and Goku. Weird conicidese she had supposed. Well, the two started dating during the end of Marching Band and started to become really fond of each other. The "I love you's" came just in time for January, when the two had been seeing each other for over a month. Bulma was caught in distress in the end of January. The day she and her boyfriend first made love, she got accepted to college, and the worse thing that could happen to her: her Grandma died. The one she was close to.

The princess was on th efloor screaming and crying when the news first came to her by phone. Her Grandma had been in the hospital for about a week and a half because of a heart attack. Bulma had just visited her two days before. She didn't come back the next day because she had figured her Grandma would get better. She had had that faith.

Not so much luck. Bulma lost her favorite person in the world and it hurt. It hurt so bad she was pieces for weeks. The very thought of being in a hospital tore her to bits. Then came the funeral.

Nothing ever good comes of her entire family gathering at Capsule Corp. They only showed up when Dr. Briefs was giving away money, or someone died. Bulma hated all the attention being focused on her. Everyone that saw her would come up to her and tell her that everything would be ok. No it wouldn't. They couldn't bring back her Grandma.

No one could.

That was when things started to get really bad for Bulma. Everything was suffering. Her work, her schooling, her boyfriend, her friends, and even her family. Nothjing would ever be the same. Bulma had practically given up. Not many people could blame her if thay had taken a walk in her shoes. Her Grandma was the most important person in the world to her and she was ripped away.

Sorrow became apart of Bulma's everyday life. She was generally unhappy and Drum's immature antics just made it worse. Things were falling apart.

Then Son Goku stepped back into her life.

He never really left, but when he said, "I love her, Bulma" she cried herself to sleep and didn't talk to hijm for nearly 3 weeks straight.

That hurt.

He had been dating ChiChi. They had so many problems Bulma told Goku several times they were wrong together. She knew Goku was supposed to be hers.

So did Goku.

The saiyan had suffered from severe heartbreak and Bulma was going ballistic on ChiChi's ass. No one hurt one of her best friends like that and got away with it. The two threw horrible remarks back and forth, fighting over who's business it was.

Bulma won, of course.

Goku was caught in the middle. The poor thing. But the girls were fighting a was and he knew not to step in, for all of their sakes. ************** Bulma was fed up with Drum's excessive behavior and the ungodly love for his drums. After meeting Goku in person a few weeks before, she was positive that being with the blue haired boy was a mistake. She was supposed to be with Goku.

The met finally on the 7th of Febuary, 2003 after having talked to each other since Christmas of 2000. The FINALLY met and Bulma was estatic... even if her father didn't know. She had been looking forward to meeting him for nearly three years. She wasn't about to let her Daddy stop her.

Maybe she should have. None of this would've happened.

But, in her mind, she KNEW he was it. He was THE one. He was her soulmate... he had to be. Her heart wouldn't play tricks on her like that....

Would it?

Bulma was sure of herself though. She knew deep down that she was doing the right thing.

They met at the school after she chased Gohan (Goku's best friend) down and the trio ventured to downtown West City. Gohan insisted that it looked just like East City, only bigger. Bulma didn't know, she'd never been to East Capital. She'd take Gohan's word on that one. They met Drum and his friend Boe at the pizza place and occompanied them to the Tae Kwan Do Dojo. Bulma said her goodbyes and called a rather ill Dr. Briefs who would be there shortly to pick her up. She was supposed to walk home. It got too cold, she said.

Gohan, Goku, and Bulma walked back to the pizza place and sat to talk. Goku showed her some of his art. She always loved the way he could draw. He was great. He knew it too. Once it was time to leave, Bulma pulled the mighty saiyan outside and kissed him squarely on the lips. The monkey boy was completely suprised. Bulma smiled and walked back to the dojo. Gohan and Goku went the opposite way. Goku was still shocked, walking in awe. "I have to see her again, Gohan." Bulma, thinking the same thing, grinned for the next two weeks.

He was greater in person than she ever thought he could be.

Perfect. ********************** OK! Well, I'm sorry it's a bit lengthy. I hope you could follow it. It's really just the plot since it's so packed together. Just R/R and please tell me what you think about the idea. It's really just what's happened to me in the past year all jumbled up and filled in with Goku, Gohan, Drum, and myself. Drum is my own character. So, if you want me to actually write this story, review it please. It wil help me a lot. Thanks. *A/N* Goku-san, don't think I made this sound like at one time I doubted you. I didn't mean for it to sound that way if it did. Most of this is true, but I know you can pick out what I added for effect. I love you, eternally- Bulma-chan
