Bulma pulled Krillin inside her lab soon as he knocked on the door. Sitting him down in a chair and smiling at him devilishly, the young genius pulled out a test tube filled with a clear bubbly liquid. Krillin sunk down in the chair, remembering last time she let him test an experiment on him. "Bulma what's that?"
"My new hair tonic! Thicker, longer, fuller hair in just seconds!" She said laughing like a mad scientist. Krillin raised an eyebrow and shot out of his seat, making a run for the door. Bulma reached out at the speed of lighting and grabbed him by his collar. "Come on KRILLIN!! Have faith in me!!! It works this time. Promise!" she said, not really expecting a replied she dragged him to a nearby sink. The bald boy finally gave up and leaned over the sink, letting Bulma tuck a towel around his collar. He heard the pop sound as she took off the cork in the tube and the fizzing noise.
"Uh...Bulma.." He started his voice shaky. "is this gonna hurt?"
"....I dunno, I guess you'll be the first to find out huh?" she said smiling and titling the bottle...

18 slowly stepped out of the taxi cab, dressed in a long icy blue dress with sleeves that came to her elbows and flared out with glitter on it, the sleeves hugged her shoulders, letting the back of her dress dip down a little. Somehow she managed to pull her hair up into a high donut bun on to of her head and place a sparkly diamond cuff around it like a crown. She reached up and ran a hand across the diamond necklace that Vegeta had gave her, along with the earring she was wearing. The blonde cheerleader figured he'd be happy to see she still wore it. "LADY!" the taxi driver said. 18 jumped and quickly opened her little blue purse, pulling out 15 dollars and handing it to the man. He nodded and drove off. 18's blue eyes turned back to the big place that sat on top of a cliff, giving a beautiful overlook of the city. The letters BIG RED'S glowed in neon red lights onto of the building. She took a deep breath, and walked to the door.

"Madam?" A French voice said behide 18. She whipped around to face a tall man in a suit with his dark hair combed back neatly. "Are you waiting for someone?"

"Uhh..no I'm supposed to me meeting someone here," she said looking around the fancy place.

"Ahhhh Monsieur Vegeta told me you'd be coming. This way," the waiter said bowing slightly and leading her around the other tables and outside on the balcony. Sure enough there was Vegeta, dressed in black pants and a white shirt that had the first few buttons undone. Candles where lit on the table and roses grew and coiled around the walls and rails of the balcony, making the whole scene look straight out of a romance movie. Her heart beat increased as she felt small waves of the old love they had together wash over her. Vegeta smiled and stood up, feeling the same way the girl in blue felt that was standing only a few feet away from him. Maybe Bulma was wrong? Maybe this was just making things worse. Vegeta pushed the thoughts out of his mind to late to go back now..he thought. He pulled out the chair for 18 and she sat down gracefully, smiling and looking around at her surroundings. "Monsieur do you wish to order now?" the waiter asked. Vegeta shook his head and waved his hand, dismissing the waiter. The Frenchman left, leaving 18 and Vegeta alone in awkward silence.
"This is...so sweet Vegeta.." 18 started looking down in her lap. Vegeta pulled out his shirt and looked off to the side. if only she knew Bulma sat this thing up and not me..he said to himself. A glint made his attention go back to 18, and he looked down at her diamond necklace. She smiled, seeing the obvious surprise on his face. Vegeta felt a little stab of pain in his heart and he looked down at his watch. "So what did you want to talk about?" 18 asked.
"Oh..yeah," Vegeta said coming back down to earth and shaking his head slightly. "I want to talk about...umm...us?" he said, testing to see if that's what she wanted to hear.
"Yeah?" 18 said leaning towards Vegeta slightly, hope in her eyes.
"18 you know I care for you.." Vegeta started slowly, not bringing himself to look up at her. He could feel her smiling and it just got harder to say what he was trying to say.
"And..well...when you love someone you have to let them go to show them you care," he said repeating Bulma's words. 18's eyebrows grew together as she was realizing what he was trying to say. "And I can't give you what you want so...I'm letting you go.." He said holding his breath. "For good."
Well, Miss 18 just sat back anger and disappointment mixed with sadness flooding her features.
"You came up here to tell me that?" She asked, back in her sarcastic emotionless character.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bulma pulled Krillin with her, up to the fancy restaurant. "Noooooo Bulma! They eat SNAILS!" Krillin complained. Bulma growled at him.
"You don't have to eat snails if you don't want to bone head!" She shouted as they came to the doors.
"What if the whole menu is in french? What if I end up order snails by accident?"
"THEY HAVE An ENGLISH MENU! NOW SHUT UP AND DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE I ALREADY MADE PLANS AND STUFF!" she shouted.
"Miss Briefs?" the waiter asked. Bulma smiled happily and shook the waiter's hand.
"One and only!" she said charmingly. The waiter smiled and led them to their table, which was right by the doors that led to the balcony. "Now.." Bulma said smiling and pushing back her hair. "isn't this nice?"
"Hmm," Krillin said looking around, violin music and people chatting mixing together and floating in his ears. "it's okay. I still can't believe that stuff you made work," he stated, catching his reflection in his plate. Bulma smiled and rubbed his head of thick, soft short black hair.
"Told ya!"
"It did burn a little.."
"Well, beggars can't be Choosers," Bulma said, that being the first thing that came to her mind even though she didn't think it fit the conversation. Krillin looked up at her with his eyebrow raised. Bulma smiled nervously and checked her watch then looked out of the glass doors to see the back of 18's blonde head. She smiled triumphantly and got up suddenly. I have to go to the little girl's room," the blue eyed girl said smiling and getting up. Once she saw Krillin not looking she darted in kitchen.
"EXCUSE ME MISS!" a waiter said tapping her on the shoulder. "BUT NO ONE IS ALLOWED HERE! EMPLOYEES ONLY!" he said harshly, pointing to a sign with his words printed in big bold letters. Bulma looked him up and down, him being just a bit bigger then her and being the same height. She smiled evilly, she looked around quickly to make sure no one was watching and pulled him into a closet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Krillin checked his watch and tapped his foot impatiently. Bulma had been gone for 5 minutes, even though it felt like 50. He sighed and looked up to see a waiter walk past pushing a cart. The man looked up and smiled at Krillin, his blue eyes looked awfully familiar to the teenage boy. And his mustache looked extremely greasy. Krillin looked at the man until he passed through the doors that led the balcony. "There's tables out there?" Krillin said himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vegeta and 18 sat there in silence, waiting for a waiter to return. Suddenly, like a magical genie one showed up, wearing a uniform that was a bit to big pushing a cart that had food on it.
"We didn't order nothing yet.." 18 said observing the cart.
"Oh uh..well-a it's on the house!" the waiter said with a horrible Italian accent. He smiled at 18 before turning to Vegeta. "Can I see you for a second-a?" the man asked. Vegeta opened his mouth to say something but the waiter already yanked him by the arm and pulled him out of the balcony, through and around the tables and into the women's bathroom.
"What the hell is your problem?!" Vegeta shouted, making two old women jump and scurried out of the bathroom frightened. The waiter wiped off his face mustache (that was painted on with black cake icing) and the black wig he was wearing...in fact it wasn't a he, it was a she! Bulma watched Vegeta's face try to hold back laughter.
"Oh shut up," Bulma said turning around to look in the mirror and started to wipe off the rest of the icing that she had smeared across her face. "how's you and 18?"
"Good, it worked just like you said it would." Vegeta said leaning agasint the counter lined with sinks with his hands in his pockets. Bulma looked him up and down.
"Wow, aren't we mister fancy smancy?" she said smiling, clearly impressed by his choice of clothing.
"Trailer Trash can dress." Vegeta said back smirking. "So should we leave or watch the magic begin?"
"Both." Bulma said unzipping her pants and starting to pull them down. Just then there was a creaking sound of the door opening. A middle aged woman walked through, looking at the young boy leaning against the sinks and what looked almost like a boy unzipping his pants. She turned around and walked out, making both of the teenagers laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Krillin finally got sick and tired of waiting. He scooted back his chair and got up, walking straight out of the doors that led to the balcony. His large dark eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stared at the dreamlike scene in front of him. 18 sat at a table alone, her head resting in her balled up hand that was agasint her cheek. The golden flickering lights bounced off her diamonds and yellow hair, making Krillin's breath catch in his thoart
18 looked up at him, her blue eyes wide with surprise. "H-hey Krillin.." She said, removing her hand from her face. Krillin smiled and looked down at his black dress shoes.
"What's up?" he asked. Even though he didn't look up he could feel 18's eyes scan over him. She noticed how well dressed he was, a side she never saw, or anyone as a matter of fact. He was wearing black pants, black shoes and a black dress jacket with a dark blue silk shirt under it. His black hair was shiny but fell over into his eyes and framed his face because of Bulma. "Who ya here with?" he asked breaking the silence between the two.
"Vegeta but he's been gone for some time now..you?"
"Bulma but she went to the bathroom. She might be taking a shit I dunno." He said jokingly, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"Well,...come and keep me company." 18 offered smiling. Krillin's head shot up.
"Sure, I mean what if Vegeta comes back?"
"Then that's just too bad for him," she said tiling her head. Krillin shrugged and walked over to her table, sitting down in Vegeta's chair.
"You look beautiful." Krillin said keeping his head down like a shy little boy. 18's grin grew bigger and a pale pink over came her cheeks.
"So do you.." She said in return. Krillin looked up quickly and back down, smiling. The candle light bounced off his smiling face, high lighting deep dimples that no one quiet noticed...well...maybe expect for Chichi.
"I really don't have enough money for anything on this menu.." 18 said picking up her menu and tossing it aside.
"Me either, I can barely pronounce what's on here." Krillin laughed out. A sudden rush of confidence and bravery pushed out his next words. "Wanna blow this joint and go out for a burger kid?" he said, putting his arm on the table and cocking his eyebrow like he saw gangsters in old movies do when trying to get a girl. 18 laughed, picking up her small glittery blue purse.
"Yeah sure." She said getting up. Krillin smiled, standing up himself. He glanced over to the rail, not really noticing the beautiful over look of the city until now. His pause made 18 looked at the scene as well. While she was looking, Krillin carefully picked a rose, so not to prick his finger agasint a throne. He slide it behide 18's ear, making her jump and blush deeply.
"I know it doesn't go with your dress but, what the hell? I was feeling manly," he said smiling holding out his arm. "Shall we?"
18 glared down at this surprisingly handsome and charming boy in front of her. I mean sure she liked him but now, she felt like she did when she first met Vegeta. Expect Vegeta was the last thing on her mind. She smiled, taking Krillin's arm in her own.
"Yes, we shall."
