Chapter Five; Secrets Revealed, and Big Decisions
Goku ran toward Bulma's room. "Bulma, Bulma! You'll never guess what Vegeta did!" When he got there,he saw Vegeta sitting on her bed, kissing her. 'What the-?', he thought before he felt a powerful hand around his neck, and felt himself slammed against the wall. He couldn't breath. "Sorry.", he barely squeaked out.
"Kakarot, how dare you just barge in here like that?!!!", Vegeta yelled, his face red with either anger or embarasment. Maybe a little of both. "What's wrong with you, you nosey little peasant?!!!"
"Let him go, Vegeta!!!", Bulma yelled, and Vegeta's grip loosened. It seemed amazing that a man who was no-doupt the strongest being in the universe could be automatically stopped, in a fit of rage, by one Earth woman.
Goku fell to the ground, gripping his throte. "I'm really sorry.", he choked out, "I didn't know."
Vegeta just rubbed his forehead. Bulma came over, and grabbed Vegeta's arm, red faced, and causing the red in Vegeta's face to deepen also. "It's alright, Goku. Now what did you want to tell me."
"That Vegeta beat Frieza again.", he said queitly.
"Those were his father and brother, Kakarot. Frieza himself was already dead over a year ago.", Vegeta said sarcastically, in a way that hurt Goku's feelings.
"Sorry.", Goku said.
"You could be a little nicer, Vegeta.", Bulma responded.
"No, no.", Goku said, with his hand on the back of his head, inching toward the door, "It's my fault. Ah...bye." He left. Wow! They were closer than he had thought.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, that rotton little third-class baka!", Vegeta said.
"It's not his fault. I mean, maybe he should have knocked, but he really didn't know. Goku just gets overexcited sometimes.", Bulma said.
"Whatever. He'd just better keep his mouth shut.", Vegeta said.
"He will, and besides, he would have found out soon anyway."
"Why? Why would you tell him?", Vegeta asked.
"Do you expect this to be some kind of big secret or something?"
"What? Don't you?", he asked.
"No. I figured that we would move to one planet or another, and settle down. Ya'know, like a family."
"What? Family? I don't think so."
Bulma couldn't believe her ears. "I thought you said you loved me.", she said.
"I do, but everyone in the universe doesn't have to know that.", he said.
"You expect me to just go back to Earth, and act like this never even happened?", she asked sadly.
"No. You can stay for a few more weeks. Maybe come for more visits. I'll visit you on earth sometime."
"No, Vegeta. I can handle long-distance relationships, but this is just going a little too far.", she said.
"You expect me to give up King Kold's empire, all this respect, and certainly the remainder of my pride to come to that forsaken little orb with you. I care about you, Bulma, but I can't do that."
"Than I'll stay here with you, Vegeta. I don't need to go back. That is, unless you don't want me here.", she said, crying.
"I'll talk to you about this later. Sometime today I'll tell you exactly what's going to happen, alright. Just give me some time to think about this." He walked out before she could respond. Why did he always have to make things so much harder than they actually were?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vegeta couldn't believe what he was hearing. Move to Earth? How could he do that?! He had an empire to rule, and Bulma certainly couldn't move here. Eventually someone would figure it out, than he'd be ruined. If she were a saiya-jin or even just looked like one, it might work out, but she had that infernal blue hair and eyes! He couldn't do it.
He walked to his throne room to sulk, and found Zarbon in his throne. "Go ahead, kill me.", Zarbon said bitterly.
He breathed out a haggared breath, and sighed. "I'm not going to kill you Zarbon. Why would I?"
"To be merviful! If I have to call you 'Lord Vegeta' one more time I think I might just keel over. I despize you."
"Now you know how I felt about Frieza. I hated him more than my wasted, miseralbe life itself, and yet was forced to worship him every day. Since I was a child, I 've wanted nothing more than to finish him off, and you can imagine the anger I felt when he destroyed the one I loved." Vegeta had said the last part accidentilly, but didn't regret it too much.
"You?! It's the blue-haired woman, isn't it?", Zarbon asked.
Vegeta was glad it was dark in here. Zarbon probebly couldn't see the color in his cheeks. "As much as that isn't any of your business, yes, it is her. If you tell anyone, I swear I'll kill you."
"I won't, if you tell no one about Frieza.", Zarbon said, "I felt a lot for him. Maybe even love."
As much as Vegeta hated talking about this with Zarbon, he had been softened lately, and realized that, although it was slightly different, Zarbon had gone through pretty much the same thing as him over the past year. "I'm sorry." Vegeta thought about Bulma, and then walked to Zarbon. "I am moving to Earth to be with my mate. In my long absence, I give this empire to you. If anyone says differently, they will have to answer to me."
"Are you joking?!", Zarbon said.
"No. On one condition."
"What's that?", Zarbon asked, probebly fearing the worse.
"Leave my planet alone."
"Yes, sir."
Vegeta walked back to the door, and left Zarbon to ponder his knew position.
"Bulma.", he said to his crying mate.
"What is it?!"
"I'm coming with you.", he said.
"What?"
"I've given my empire to Zarbon, one of my minoins. Now let's go. We don't have all day."
Bulma cried, and hugged him with all her might, and he could feel it, not with his body, but with his soul.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Three weeks later...
Vegeta and Bulma had gotton ready, and left the planet arm in arm with Kakarot following cosely after, and Nappa and Raddits near the scean watching the liftoff. The whole two weeks had been nice for all three of them. If anything, Vegeta may have been a bit annoyed, and Goku bored, but bulma concidered it perfect. She had her love; Vegeta, and her friend; Goku. She loved the whole trip.
When they had gotten back to Earth, Vegeta settled in with her. She had been hinting marrage to him, but he didn't seem to want to respond.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vegeta was training with weights that he had gotton from Kami-sama, when Bulma came up to him. "I love these white, frilly drapes, don't you?" She pointed to a picture in a magazine, "Don't they remind you of a wedding dress?", she asked.
"Whatever.", he responded, and she walked out, looking dissappointed. She had been hinting that she wanted something from him. Frankly, he had no idea what. She word wedding kept coming up, but he had no idea what that was. If it was some kind of item, she could buy it herself, so it must have meant something else.
He walked out, and saw Bulma's mother crying in the other room. Both of Bulma's parents kind of creeped him out, so he tried to sneak by. "Oh, hi Vegeta. Sorry you have to see me like this, but I always get all teary eyed when I'm watching my soaps.", she said, in her high-pitched voice.
Oh, she had been watching some television show. "Is that so?" He tried to escape her again, but she persisted.
"Yeah. This is the episode about Juan and Mary's wedding. I always cry at weddings."
He walked in, and decided to ask her for information rather than look stupid in front of Bulma. "What is a wedding, and why would it make you cry?"
"Oh, you don't know what a wedding is? That's so cute." He almost left the room right then, but she continued, "A wedding is, well...When two people love eachother, and want to spend the rest of thier lives togather, a wedding is just a way to make it officail."
"Oh, I get it.", he said, "Why would that make you cry?"
"Because it's a beautiful moment. Two people announcing thier love to the world, and kissing at the alter in front of thier friends and family. It's just about the most beautiful thing in the universe."
"Oh.", he said, not knowing what to do now.
"What? Bulma been hinting?", she asked.
"What?! No! Ofcoarse not! I was just curious, that's all!", he yelled.
"Alright. Whatever you say.", she said, and he walked out.
He couldn't do that. 'In front of her family, her friends?! Kissing at the 'alter', whatever that is', he thought. He would just have to ignore her that's all. He walked back to the training room, and on the way, saw that Bulma's mother was no longer watching the screen. From the door, he noticed the wedding going on.
"Oh, Juan.", the blond woman said, "When you asked me to marry you, it was the happiest day of my life."
"Mary, this marriage insures that we will be togather always, until death do us part.", the man said.
With that the couple kissed, and some music came on. Something like this should have sickened him, but somehow, it just made him fantisise of he and Bulma's wedding. 'You unfroze my heart, and salvaged my soul.', he would say, and she would kiss him, and they would be togather forever, until death did them part.
He smirked. He wouldn't even try to fight it this time. It would have happened eventually.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulma sat on her bed, not crying, but sad. Did he even know what a wedding was?! Well she decided to just accept the fact that she would never get married, and just settle down with the one she loved.
"Bulma.", Vegeta said from the door.
"Dinner will be ready in half an hour, Vegeta."
"That's not why I'm here." She looked at him, and at the smile on his face, and felt suspitious. "Will you marry me, Bulma Briefs?"
She couldn't believe it. He had completely taken her off-gaurd. She screamed, and hugged him. "Yes! Ofcoarse I will!!!"
"I love you, Bulma.", he said.
"I love you too, Vegeta, I love you too!"
------------------------------------------------------------------
From The Author: I know; a lot happened in this chapter. I hope you are all open minded enough to take that part about Zarbon. I hope I didn't offend anyone. Plus, excuse me for the mushyness of the overall chapter. Whoever likes V/B should love this. Remember, the story is not finished, so keep checking for more chapters, and keep reveiwing. Thanks again!
