A Twist of Fate-Chapter 9



Vegeta could sense something just wasn't right with Goku. He wasn't fighting with any vigor. His heart wasn't into it. Vegeta narrowed his eyes as he accessed Goku. Goku looked more serious, and his lips were pinched at the ends. I wonder what is going on. He remembered Trista being pissed about something and locked herself in her room, not wanting to be bothered. She was there still as far as he knew. She has to be the reason Kakkarott is acting weird! He thought, crossing his arms.

"What's the matter Vegeta, ready to quit?" Goku said as he launched himself at Vegeta.

Vegeta's eyebrows raised for a second, then he grinned. Well, he thought, at least I get a real workout. He could tell Goku was mad at someone, but he didn't know if it was Trista Goku was mad at, or Goku himself. Since when did I start to care about Goku's problems!? He grimaced. I'm becoming soft. He gritted his teeth, and flew towards Goku.



Goku couldn't believe what happened this morning! How could I have let things go so far? He thought over and over in his mind the way Trista had responded to him stopping what they were about to do. I can't believe that she would act so casual about it! I care for her dammit, even if she doesn't about me! He gritted his teeth at the thought of having one-sided feelings for someone. And when did I actually start to care for her! She's only been here for four months! That's not enough time to start developing feelings for someone, is it? He was frustrated because he didn't know the answer. Hell! He was becoming frustrated about everything lately! Goku inwardly winced as he remembered what an ass he had made of himself at the last family get together. It had been his family, and Bulma's. Of course Yamcha, Tien and Chousu had come. He's known them since childhood, and Bulma almost married Yamcha! He knew they were going to be there, and that Yamcha was a big flirt, and had noticed that Yamcha kept goggling Trista. He himself hadn't been able to keep his eyes off of her, and he had became enraged when he saw Yamcha going over there to flirt with her. He kept telling himself that she wasn't his and it wasn't any of his business, but he had felt that it was for some reason! He had made his way over to them, and was shocked when Trista had allowed Yamcha to kiss her on her cheek. Goku had felt a burning in his gut, and he had grabbed Yamcha by the front of his shirt and had thrown him threw the window. He had started hitting Yamcha, smashing his face and stomach with his fists. Vegeta had had to pry him off of Yamcha, and had developed a black eye as a result. Yamcha had looked surprised, and then a knowing look had crossed his face. Goku still didn't know why. Yamcha had smiled at him, and told him that he didn't know that she was Goku's. Trista had stood in the door, having no idea of what had just went on. He had seen her confused face, and was thankful that at least Yamcha had said what he did just for Goku to hear it. Thankfully, Vegeta hadn't heard it either. Goku sighed as he let go of the memory. He knew now that he had feelings for Trista, but he just couldn't define them.

"Goku, are you okay?"

Goku came out of his thoughts and just realized that they hadn't been fighting for some time now.

Oh! Um....yeah I'm fine. Thanks Vegeta."

Vegeta watched Goku's fists ball up and his eyes narrow once more. It had to be about a girl! There's just no other explanation for the way he is acting. And I'm going to find out if it's Trista or not right now! A small smile spread across Vegeta's face as he left the gravity room, and Goku to his own thoughts.
