Note: I know, I know. I should be finishing "The Wives of Prince Jerk and Goofy", but I had another sudden rush of motivation and ideas, and I just couldn't put them off.  I'll be posting story after story for the next, like, five days. (You can so tell I'm turning thirteen from the way I talk. You know the "likes".)

Summary: A songfic about Bulma breaking up with Yamcha and going to Vegeta. The song used is Mariah Carey's "Butterfly" Song is in italics. In this fic, Yamcha cheated once, but he didn't do it again. It's not his fault. It just wasn't meant to be.

When you love someone so deeply the become your life

It's easy to succumb to overwhelming tears inside

Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass

Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands

And watch you fly

            Bulma had been having troubles with Yamcha. Their relationship was an on and off thing. It was almost as if it were decided by a switch. One minute she would take him back, the next she would be cursing at him. She knew she couldn't keep him under glass. So she had let him go and had watched him fly away. She loved someone else now, she realized as she walked home from the park that was a little ways from her home.

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Ooh, fly abandonedly into the sun

            He had looked so sad, yet understanding. He knew, as well, that it wasn't suppose to happen this way. They both knew. But that would never change the fact that they still had a little corner of their hearts reserved for each other. They always would. So he followed her.

If you should return to me

Then we truly we were meant to be

            He would try to return, but she wouldn't let him. Because it was not meant to be.

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

            Yes, he truly was a butterfly. But he wasn't her butterfly.

I have learned that beauty has to flourish under light

Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies

You have given me the courage to be all that I can

And truly feel your heart will lead you back to me when you're

Ready to land

            He would go back to her. But not like that. Not that deeply. Only as a friend.

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Ooh, fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

Then we truly we were meant to be

Meant to be just friends. But he wasn't sure about that yet. But he was going to find out. So he continued following her to her home.

So spread you wings and fly

Butterfly

She slowly approached the front lawn of the Capsule Corp., were Vegeta was waiting for her. Yes, he would be waiting to claim her properly. He could sense her ki flare up every now and then and knew she had broken up with him for good. Broken up with Yamcha for him. But he didn't care.

I can't pretend these tears aren't overflowing steadily

I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me

But I will stand and say goodbye for you will never be mine

Until you know the way it feels to fly

            She felt hurt and sad. But not alone. Never alone. She would never feel alone for the rest of her life. Not with Vegeta by her side. She was sure he would never cheat. He would be the prince in shinning armor that she had dreamt of all her life. He would be a little taller than her, but still short. Nice to no one but her, and she would be happy with him.

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Ooh, fly abandonedly into the sun (Fly…to the sun)

If you should return to me (I will know you're mine)

Then we truly were meant to be (Spread your wings and fly)

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

            She slowly walked step by step up to the front door, well aware of the fact Yamcha was behind her. Tears flowed steadily out of her eyes. Relief. That was what she felt now. No more pain. She would never be alone now. She would be happy…

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Ooh, fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

Then we truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

            She sighed right before opening the door. She stepped inside to find Vegeta, arms crossed, waiting expectantly. Yes, he had been waiting. She slowly looked up at him and smiled. She had mascara running down her cheeks in black lines. Her lipstick was smeared from when she had put her face in her hands. But she still looked beautiful to him.She pushed the door to close it, but it just lightly tapped the wall and was still open a crack. It's done.

So flutter through the sky

Butterfly

            She walked up to Vegeta and leaned her head against his chest. He slid his arm around her protectively as she embraced him. The two stood there, waiting for him to arrive so that he could understand. Yamcha opened the door a little more, peeked inside, and stepped in, looking around the corner of the door. He stopped and blinked as she saw the two.

"Spread your wings and fly

Butterfly…" she sang softly to him, smiling. Now he understood.
