All rightly then. This is chapter five as you probably guessed. It was
WONDERFUL to read your reviews. And I have to say don't worry they will
know each other by their real names before this fic is over but not quite
yet. Enough with the chatter on with the story.

Quietly Chi-Chi slipped into Bulma's elegant cambers. She found the princess seated before her boudoir, gazing past the reflection. A dreamy, far off look was in her eyes, the same look she had had for days. Worried, Chi-Chi walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulder. Bulma jerked, coming back to reality.
"Chi-Chi you startled me," she said, watching in the mirror as her friend sat down on the bed.
"I noticed," she crossed her arms," okay, spill it."
"What."
"Whatever it is that has had you on cloud nine these past few days."
"I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't been acting any different then I usually do."
Bulma turned around in the chair as Chi-Chi snorted," Right, you've been your normal self. Let me see," she began to count things off on her hands," You didn't go training with Krillin, Tien and Chiaotzu. When Master Roshi and Oolong were ogling the servant girls in front of you, you didn't say anything. At the dancing lesson you didn't even pretend to pay attention. You completely blew off Lord Yamcha."
"Lord Yamcha. What do you mean."
"You promised him, several months ago that you would go up and visit him at his estate this week, and you've barely managed to leave the grounds. "
"So I'll reschedule. I'm sure he won't mind."
"You can't just reschedule, he's coming here." Chi-Chi's voice became worried," Bulma he'll blow your story. He may be an idiot but he knows I'm not you."
"So I'll simply get him to not tell anyone," she shrugged her shoulders.
"Will that work."
"Of course, he'll do anything I ask him," Bulma stood as she spoke, going and pulling a robe out of her wardrobe," look Chi-Chi I will admit that I have been a bit off lately, but I've had things on my mind." She headed for the window," Now if you don't mind I need some time to think."
"Alright, if that's what you want I'll leave but Bulma." She watched as she opened the window," wait you can't just . . ." she started but was to late," jump out the window. I hate it when she does that." Chi-Chi shook her head in disgust. Shutting off the lights she left the chambers as silently as she came.
***************
Bulma gazed up at the stars. They shown clearly, lighting up the sky around the waxing moon. A chill had taken to the air but she didn't seem to notice, letting her robe hang open as she wandered alone around the garden.
Her thoughts remained on the ball days before, or more correctly on the stranger, Kakarot who had whisked her off her feet so easily. There was something about him that drew her to him. His touch was exhilarating. She shivered as she remembered the feel of his hand on the small of her back, the way he had whispered good bye into her ear as she left with Chi-Chi.
"Chi-Chi's right," she whispered," I can't get him out of my head."
The gentle sound of singing flittered through her thoughts, bringing her back to reality. A very masculine voice sang softly as someone strummed along with a guitar. The songs' language was strange unlike any she had heard before. She began to walk in the direction of the music. The sound was mesmerizing, almost hypnotic, as she followed it single-mindedly.
Turning on the path around a cluster of trees, she spied Kakarot seated on a marble bench. Bulma stopped moving. The sayian sat motionless in the moon light, gazing at the man serenading beneath a window. His expression was unreadable, his eyes closed as he sighed with satisfaction. As she watched him, he began to stiffen. His eyes snapping open and frowning in displeasure.
The expression softened slightly as he said, without looking at her," Do you think the Princess will fall for that.' He pointed at the singer.
"She might," Bulma began to giggle," If that was her room and."
He turned and questioned her," and what?"
"Well," In the soft lighting she blushed, finally realizing that she was standing in only her robe. She pulled it shut as he smirked.
She looked away," I'm sure being serenaded would be easy to fall for if she wasn't already entranced by someone else."
****************
Vegeta barely stopped his growl as he heard her. This girl had managed to surprise him as he sat listening to the singer. Something he should have never let anyone do, letting down his guard could be very dangerous thing. To cover up his distress he quickly asked, " Do you think the Princess will fall for that." He pointed at the singer to show her what he meant.
"She might," she giggled out nervously," if that was her room and."
"And what," he asked turning and looking at her. She wore only a thin robe to cover her almost naked body. Under the moonlight her skin glistened.
" Well," he asked again as she began to blush. The pink tinge was charming on her, reminding him of fresh blood on the snow capped mountains near his home. He smirked, devilish thoughts running through his head, as he watched her pull it shut, looking away from him.
"I'm sure being serenaded would be easy to fall for if she wasn't already entranced by someone else."
Vegeta couldn't control his growl this time. She looked at him strangely as he stood, leaving her with only a curt nod goodbye.
He fumed internally, cursing Kakarot under his breath.
"Damn it Kakarot, I told you to keep her away from the other suitors, not become one yourself."
