Chapter 5: Don't startle me like that!!

Bulma opened the shower doors as the phone began to ring. Dressing quickly she ran into her room and picked it up. 'Hello?' she said out of breath. 'Hello, Bulma...it's Connie. What are you doing at the moment?' 'I was trying to dry off.' Bulma said a little annoyed. Connie frowned. 'I'm sorry Bulma.' 'It's alright...wait a minute all right?' 'All right.' Bulma put down her phone dried her hair as best she could. Why was Connie calling? 'She could simply walk over here.' Bulma thought to herself. Then, wiping off her hands, she picked the phone back up. 'I'm sorry...now what was it you wanted to ask me?' 'Do you remember me telling about Kara Yamagori?' 'Yes, I remember...what about her?' 'Well she's here and I thing that you and Vegeta should come over. There's something going on that I think you two would be interested in, especially Vegeta. 'I'll come over...but I don't know about Vegeta though. You know how he is.' Bulma sighed. 'Even if you have to drag him over, bring him. I have to go Bulma...I hope I see you soon.'
'Yeah, me too.'

Bulma hung up and scowled to herself. What was Connie up to now? And what did it have to do with Vegeta? Grabbing a brush, the semi angry woman began to brush her blue hair. 'She's planning something...I just know it! What does she want with Vegeta? I could just as simply go over and see what she wants.' Bulma said angrily. She didn't know why, but she never liked the older woman. Perhaps it was the way she looked at Vegeta. Connie was around the same age as Vegeta, but so what, so was Bulma. The other woman would look at her husband like a piece of meat. That made Bulma wish she could pack up Capsule Corp and leave...taking Vegeta and all. 'What's wrong with you woman?' Bulma's scowl turned upside down as her husband came into the room.
'It's nothing...Vegeta, Connie wants to talk to us.' 'It can wait, you have more important affairs to attend too.' 'Oh, like what?' Bulma said as she turned to look at her husband. Vegeta smirked evilly and kissed her on her cheek. 'Like getting your son in bed. It's past ten.' the prince said as he walked out the room. Bulma's scowl returned as she threw a lamp at him, which missed. She could only hear Vegeta laughing. 'Stupid baka.' she said to herself.

Walking downstairs, Kara rubbed her eyes. What was it with her and food? Why did she get hungry all the time? Maybe the dreams had something to do with it. Looking in the living room, she saw that Connie was still awake. 'Couldn't sleep?' Kara said as she walked in the room. 'I'm waiting for someone to come over. What about you?' 'I got hungry.' Kara smiled. 'Hungry huh? It seems like you eat a lot. Are you sure you ain't pregnant?' Connie smiled back. Kara thought for a moment. Could she...no...she already knew the answer. 'I'm not pregnant Connie. You forget, that accident I had made sure of it.' Kara let out a small huff. She hated being reminded of that. Even if was true. 'Then why do you eat so much?' Connie asked. Kara scratched her head and looked at her friend with a dumbfound expression. 'I have no clue.' she laughed.

Hours later, Kara was still in the kitchen eating when she heard the front door open. Listening closely, she heard Connie as she greeted the new people. 'Hello Bulma. Thank you for coming over on such short notice.' Bulma smiled, but inside she was fuming. 'Hello Connie...so now, what did you want to talk to me and Vegeta about?' Kara gasped as she heard the name. Did she hear right? Did the other woman say Vegeta? 'Noo, my imagination is playing tricks on me again.' Kara thought as she got up to wash her dishes. 'Man, I gotta stop eating this much. I could give myself indigestion.' she laughed. Humming to herself, Kara washed the dishes. She was so busy that she didn't hear the footsteps behind her. 'Where are you going?' Bulma called out to Vegeta. The prince stopped and turned around before he entered the kitchen. 'To raid the woman's fridge.' he said as he continued.

Kara had just finished as Vegeta walked in. Going to the refrigerator, the prince opened it and took out some ham. Closing it, he looked over at Kara. 'Hey you!' he called. Kara sighed but didn't turn around. 'Don't ignore me! Can you fix this for me?' Vegeta asked. When Kara didn't answer Vegeta became angry. Walking over to girl, the prince grabbed her by the arm and turned her to face him. What Kara did next had everyone running into the kitchen. There she was, with Vegeta holding onto her arm as she struggled to get free, shrieking. 'Vegeta...stop!' Bulma yelled as she ran over and pried her husbands hands off Kara. Once free, the young woman ran as fast as she could to the living room, where everyone followed her. Looking at Vegeta again, Kara screamed even louder. Nothing would stop her. Finally Connie walked over to her and slapped her hard across the face. That made Kara stop. Her heart pounded in her chest as she slowly sunk down on the floor. It was all she could do to keep herself together as she began to cry.
