Ch10 Choices
Vegeta found himself being shoved into a huge recliner at the Brief's house when they finally got there. After brief stops at Barro's and Blockbusters, both of which took at least an hour, they had finally arrived at Bulma's house around eight.
" 'Resident Evil'?" Chichi asked as she looked at the movies they got.
"That was the one the boys agreed on," 18 answered as she sat plates out on the coffee table.
"It's better then 'Kate and Leopold'," Yamcha retorted.
"If you like gratuitous violence," Bulma responded as she walked out with two liters of Coke and a bunch of tumblers all precariously balanced on top of each other. The other two girls ran over to help her.
"I think we should watch the girls' movie first," Goku stated as he got comfy on the couch and Chichi proceeded to get comfy on him.
"Over my dead body," 17 answered.
"That can be arranged," 18 smirked.
"You wouldn't dare," 17smirked back.
"Really," She said before she rushed him pillow in hand. 17 barely managed to grab a pillow for himself before she brought a barrage of smacks down on him. He dodged most and then proceeded to smack 18 in the side of the head and knock her over the coach. She landed with a thump, her head in Krillin's lap and her feet in Chichi's lap.
"Hey babe, what's happenen'?" Krillin drawled. The room broke out in a fit of giggles.
"I know why we should watch 'Kate and Leopold' first…" Bulma spoke and then turned to 17, "By the time it's over, it'll be late at night and kind of creepy. That's the best time to watch a zombie movie."
17 rubbed his chin, "fine, you girls win this round. But next time it'll be us guys that win."
Bulma had gone back to the kitchen to get the last of the snacks after the pillow war when the kitchen door slammed. She watched as Civvie pranced in happily.
"What's gotten into you today?" Bulma asked and started to giggle at his little display.
"I got a date," he smiled.
"Didn't take you long," Bulma smiled as she gathered up the popcorn and candy.
"Nope, What are doing with all that?" He asked and raised a violet eyebrow.
"I happen to have guests over to watch videos," she answered.
"Have fun," he smiled, "and don't get to friendly with the boys."
Bulma smirked and carried all the foodstuffs out onto the coffee table.
Yamcha had been thinking ever since his visit to the emergency room. He had seen the way she held Vegeta and looked at him. He needed to talk to her. He decided now would be the most opportune time. Bulma had just deposited her load onto the coffee table when Yamcha approached.
" Can we talk somewhere private?" He asked.
"Uhm, sure," Bulma answered. Yamcha then proceeded to lead her out of the living room and to the kitchen. Vegeta watched them and decided he didn't like seeing them together and alone. He stood up to follow.
"Where you going 'Geta?" Goku asked.
Vegeta growled, " Do I have to have your permission or something?"
"No. geez grumpy, I'd say the pain meds wore off," Goku laughed. Vegeta snorted and continued on his journey to the kitchen.
Yamcha had gotten Bulma to the kitchen and was about to start talking when Vegeta walked in. Yamcha abruptly shut up.
Bulma looked at Vegeta and then back to Yamcha. He started to talk again, "Me and Vegeta have agreed to stop fighting for the soccer team's sake. Right Vegeta?"
"Yep," Vegeta answered. He knew Yamcha was trying to ask her to choose which guy she wanted without causing another fight to break out.
"You're going to have to make a decision Bulma," Vegeta spoke after he realized Yamcha was chickening out, "You can't have both of us."
From the look on Bulma's face Vegeta decided he didn't need to elaborate.
"You're both upset with me aren't you?" She asked.
"A little bit," Yamcha confessed , "You did kiss another guy after all."
"No," Vegeta admitted reluctantly.
"But I don't want to lose your friendship just because of one kiss," Yamcha blushed.
Both guys waited for some kind of answer. Bulma looked back and forth between the boys. She knew whom she wanted, but she didn't want to hurt anyone. She was starting to come to the realization that some one had to get hurt and if she kept leaving the guys hanging it would end up being her. They'd both leave. She had to decide now.
"We'll still be friends after this right?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah, I've known you since you where six, always," Yamcha replied.
"Sure," Vegeta answered. He was finding he didn't have the knack for words tonight.
"I need to… think about this," Bulma stuttered, "Give me a few days."
"Okay," Yamcha mumbled. Vegeta just snorted and walked back to the living room.
Bulma had been feeling really awkward since she was ganged up on in the kitchen. She had ended up sitting on the floor in front of the couch between Chichi and 18. The boys had gone to opposite sides of the room from each other. They both seemed a little too focused on the movie. They had made it through one movie and were half way through the next when the doorbell rang.
"I got it," Bulma shouted up the stairs and ran for the door thankful for the distraction. ::Who would be here at 11:00PM, though?::
Finding the movie to be rather boring for her taste Chichi followed after Bulma. She almost got ran over as she walked in front of the stairs.
"Oops, sorry. I told Dad we needed a stop sign here," Civvie said holding Chichi's arm to steady her, "but he never believed me."
Chichi smiled and walked to the door with Civvie to see whom it was.
Civvie instantly got a big grin across his face when he saw who was at the door, " Hey small fry."
Chichi recognized the girl as Kolerabi, Vegeta's older sister.
Kolerabi didn't respond to Civvie her eyes were fixed on Bulma's face, "Are you okay?"
Both Chichi and Civvie averted their attention to Bulma. She looked like she was on the verge of tears.
"Blue?" Civvie asked.
She turned and muffled her sobs into his chest. He gently wrapped his arms around her.
He pulled her out onto the porch and was very glad it was warmer then usual. He sat her down on the porch swing and Chichi parked on her free side. Kolerabi sat down by her feet.
"Tell me Blue?" Civvie asked and the two girls looked at Bulma caringly.
"I am so stupid," Bulma blurted, "I hurt both of them."
"I'm going to need a few more details then that," Civvie smiled and brushed a piece of hair away from her face.
"Is it something to do with Yamcha and Vegeta?" Chichi asked.
"I'm the reason they got in that fight today. Then they turn around and tell me I have to choose between them," Bulma pouted, "If only I would have kept my lips to myself, then I wouldn't be in this mess." Kolerabi blinked a few times.
Chichi sensing the confusion wafting from the Kolerabi and Civvie decided to explain a little,
" Well, Bulma here, kissed Vegeta and got caught. Yamcha found out and decided to pull a prank on Vegeta. And that caused the fight today."
"I told you, you'd have the boys fighting over you," Civvie joked.
"It's not funny," Bulma pouted, "How can I choose between the two guys I Love." She almost choked on the last word, because it was true.
"You'll have to decide what kind of love you have for each guy and act accordingly. I will beat on Vegeta for doing that to you, that's a promise," Kolerabi smiled. Bulma giggled a little bit. She knew how much Vegeta feared Kolerabi's wrath. He wouldn't stand a chance, but he didn't deserve that.
"That's all right; you don't have to beat him up," Bulma smiled, "I didn't mean to breakdown either, it was just so awkward in there."
"Yeah, you should see the glares Yamcha and Vegeta keep giving each other," Chichi smirked.
Bulma sighed, "Well, I have guests; so I should get back in there." With that Bulma and Chichi walked back to the front room.
Vegeta watched Bulma come back in. She looked tired and her eyes were a little puffy. ::Was she crying?:: He was about to ask her when suddenly everything went dark. The room was pitch black.
Then there was a crash followed by a loud 'ouch'.
"Chichi? Where'd you go," Bulma asked.
"She's on me," 18 grumbled.
"Okay, calm down everyone, my dad probably overloaded the generator. The power is out," Bulma stated as she found a flash light and turned it on. She shined it onto the couch and almost cracked up at the pile of arms and legs sticking out in all directions.
I know this chapters boring. But I need to set up the next few. And I will put more cute V/B moments in starting next chapter. Bye…until next time…sleep over…midnight snacks…and the patio swing.
