Chapter 20: Gossip
.:.
Chi-Chi woke up the next morning alone in her bed, yawning and looking out of the window that was directly next to her bed. She smiled as she saw a tiny bird serenading her in the morning light. She rose from her bed, and stretched, as she began her morning routine. She walked over to her vanity, and sat down in the small chair that was in front of the oval mirror. She picked it up her brush, and let it slowly go through her hair once. She saw her dress from the night before lying on her dresser, neatly in a pile. She smiled as memories flooded back to her, of Goku, their slow kiss, and the night that had followed...she giggled as she remembered how unsure the man was.
As she stroked her hair with her brush, she looked to see the door open slowly, a faint voice coming from behind it.
"M'Lady Chi-Chi?" A faint voice whispered, and then she smiled.
"Yes, Mildred?" She said, her smile never vanishing from her lips. A girl that was about 2 years younger than the raven haired duchess stepped behind the door, and presented her with the olive dress made of satin that Bulma had shown her the day before. Oh, how time seemed to go so quickly! She gasped as Mildred presented it to her, up close. The details were incredible and delicate...embedded tiny roses that were in a light lime green were stitched into the hem of the dress. The collar was modest, two small cuffs were by her neck, showing off her gorgeous pale skin. She heard a voice, but didn't understand it, paying no mind to it as she let one hand go over it.
"M'Lady? Would you like to try on the dress? If it does not fit properly, I can go snatch the tayloress if you would like me to." the young girl whispered, looking at her lady.
"Of course..." Chi-Chi rose from her chair, getting behind the dresser's shield that was in her chambers, undressing from the night-gown that she had been wearing the night before. She walked out, and was assisted into the dress by Mildred. She rose her arms as she buttons were done in the back, and then she walked over to her full length mirror. She studied her reflection, and then said simply,
"It looks perfect on me, doesn't it, Mildred?" She didn't even turn her head to acknowledge the girl, and then smiled at her reflection.
"Yes, it does, M'Lady."

Vegeta sat at his desk, reading a book that had long intrigued him. He wasn't a religious man, not at all in the sense of the word, but he had always been curious to what his grandfather read to him on Sundays. The English custom was that when a boy turns to a man at age 15, he is given a bible in which he is to learn and study. But, there was a family Bible, that was to be given to him at the time of his father's death. Then, the cycle would continue. There was a Bible for the boy turning to a man, and a Bible that was for the family. It was very long and tedious, but no one was quite sure how long these Bibles had been in there families, besides a select few. A peasant man in a small village in France said that his family's Bible had been linked back to the times of the first Bibles being printed, over 400 years ago! It was a wild claim, but his father seemed to be intrigued by it. So, the royal 'detectives', as they called themselves, had been investigating the claim for the past 6 months. They all were still waiting for the results.
He let his eyes wander over the endless lines of text, reading of a man that called himself 'Judas', finding all of this information very interesting. He hadn't slept at all the night before, and so he had drowned his weary thoughts into this book. His head snapped up in attention as he heard the door open, looking to it and asking in an annoyed voice,
"Who is it?" He stated, waiting for a reply behind the large oak doors.
"Your Highness...a letter has been delivered. Would you like me to give it to you, My Lord?" A faint voice was heard through the solid oak doors, and Vegeta yelled in reply, so to be clearly heard, you see.
"Come in!"
The doors slowly opened, and a man walked in, holding a piece of folded parchment. Vegeta reached out for it, snatching it from his hands quickly, and then said with his eyes, 'You may leave'. The man quickly scurried out of the room, gulping as he closed the doors slowly.
Vegeta opened the parchment, and smirked as he read the letter...
My Prince,
Ah, so many questions you have! Here is my riddle to answer your questions....
'For rich, for short,
but not that tort
I live in the west,
I bare two breasts
The ladith man that I see,
is who I am meant to be
I live alone in my own head,
dreading all the things he said
I hate the world that is through,
now don't forget...
My name was never Ellanie-Ruu
Now, think about that, your Highness...let your mind flow through the words across this parchment, thinking of all the things that I've given to you. Come on, my Prince, you can't be that thick headed, can you?
Yours in Grace,
The Blue Maiden
Vegeta sat the paper down, looking over it once, twice, three times...he studied it, his eyes flowing across the page, trying to understand the words flowing beneath him. He sighed slowly, and read the letter again...

Chi-Chi sat down at the table next to her younger friend, smiling as Bulma swallowed a bite of pure white cake.
"Good Afternoon, Chi-Chi. Why are you so late to tea this evening?" Bulma asked, taking a napkin and dabbing her lips.
"I was up late last night...you would not BELIEVE what happened to me after you disappeared!" Chi-Chi whispered, giggling at her girlish thoughts.
"Oh, do tell, Chi-Chi!" Bulma said, scooting closer to her cousin and listening to her closely. She had always had an obsession about making sure that she heard everything.
"Goku and I had some, well, how do you say...alone time?" She smirked, making sure that she put an emphasis on 'alone time'. Bulma's eyes widened in shock, whispering.
"You didn't sleep with him, did you?" Bulma said, her eyes flashing with curiosity.
"No...but we did have a nice, long snogging session on the outside balcony. And you would not BELIEVE what he told me!" She said in a hurried and excited rush, whispering all the while.
"What did he tell you? Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Heavens no, Bulma! But...God, it's so sweet." Chi-Chi blushed a little at the mer thought of it.
"What?!" Bulma said, starting to get annoyed at her games.
"He had never kissed a woman before..." Chi-Chi whispered, and then burst out into a fit of giggles. Bulma put on that famous 'shocked' look, and said plainly,
"No...he's WAY too gorgeous to have not even kissed anyone before!!" Bulma said, speaking in disbelief.
"No, it's true! He had to tell me to teach him how to kiss! It must've been so funny to see. But...he's quite a kisser." Chi-Chi said with a devious grin, winking at her cousin. Bulma laughed and swatted at the raven haired woman sitting beside her.
"Chi-Chi, you devil you!" Bulma said, and then giggled.

Goku felt uncomfortable in his own shoes, listening to the shorter bald man. He was rambling on about his home land, wealth, and his Father...Goku couldn't take it anymore, and suddenly interrupted.
"Do you like Eiteena?" He asked, oblivious to the instant blush that spread across the older man's face.
"No...I mean...uh...well...wait, what does THAT haft to do with anything?" Krillin put up his defenses, his face bright red, completely humiliated.
"You do, don't you?" Goku placed a sly grin on his face, his eyes shining in obvious amusement with making the man uncomfortable. Krillin coughed.
All Goku did was laugh.

Author's Note: Well, FINALLY, after that HUGE writer's block, I am back. I know, the chapter did provide that much detail, but I just NEEDED to end the ball! I mean, can a ball seriously last for like, 4 chapters? I know that it was interesting, yes, but honestly...4 chapters?! Weirdness. Any ways, for all of you that have been reviewing, I really appreciate it. And I mean, REALLY appreciate it. That's why, I'm going to reply to all of those reviews that I love SOOOOO much. Thanks, and I won't be offended at all if you guys just wanna not read this. It's not that big of a deal.
DarkSayJinGoddess: Thanks for the review! Your story is very interesting, and I really enjoyed it. You can IM me on AOL sometime. My s/n is XxBlack KodoKuxX. =D
outtadalop: Weird, I only got one review from you. Any ways, we'll just haft to wait and see what happens to Vegeta and Bulma, hmmm?
Gotenfan18: I plan on keeping this story going, thank you. Lol
SaiyanGal: I know, the suspense always keeps things interesting. It's just what I think lacks in a lot of stories, the suspense drives people to stay interested. It's very weird, but that's what I like to do. I love to keep people deeply immersed in my ideas. My goal for this fic was to make sure that you actually thought about it, even whenever you weren't reading it! That's just always been my goal.
Tenshi Kanashii: Just so you know, Henry is pronounced in either ways. It depends on where he is in the story. But, I always thought Hen-ree. But, hey, it's all up to you! =D
Nicka: You obviously must not know that much about medieval royal families, because they were notorious for betrayal and affairs, scandal and controversy. It's just how it's always been, I would definately suggest possibly some research? But hey, I'm just one of those people. Lol
Well, that's the end...of the reviews. Lol Don't worry, I'm keeping this story going. But, I'm already starting to think of maybe having a sequel. Maybe. But hey, it's all up to you guys! Tell me what you think! I wanna know...honestly. Lol Now you know what to do...
