I was sitting in my room, listening to "Gone" by N*Sync (On Now 9) and I thought, "This song reminds me of Yamcha." So here I am, making it an epilogue to "Butterfly". Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or N*Sync. I got the lyrics from www.lyrics.com because I was too lazy to go through the whole song myself.

-------------------

There's a thousand words that I could say
To make you come home

Actually, he really couldn't say anything. She was with Vegeta now, and there was nothing he could do about it. He could fight him over her, but he knew he would never win. Vegeta was a Super Saiyan. Even if he could win, Bulma would never give her heart to him again.
Oh, seems so long ago you walked away
Left me alone
I remember what you said to me
You were acting so strange

Flashback

She sighed right before opening the door. She stepped inside. She had had mascara running down her cheeks in black lines. Her lipstick was smeared from when she had put her face in her hands. She pushed the door to close it, but it just lightly tapped the wall and was still open a crack. He 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. She was leaning on Vegeta's chest, and he had his arm wrapped protectively around her. It was over for good now.

And maybe I was too blind to see
That you needed a change

Now that he thought about it, they had been going out since they were 16. Had she gotten tired of him? No, that couldn't be it… Could it?


Was it something I said
To make you turn away?
To make you walk out and leave me cold

They had had numerous fights with one another. He wasn't surprised when she broke up with him. The only thing that surprised him was the tone of her voice. She sounded serious. Of course she was always serious when she broke up with him, but this time it seemed like she was promising that this was it. It only confirmed it when he walked in and saw her with Vegeta.

If I could just find a way
To make it so that you were right here
But right now..

In reality, there was nothing he could do. He remembered how he had abused her that night he came home drunk. He had never drunk again until they broke up. Unfortunately, that was just another incident that built up a wall between their trust.

I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong

He remembered how hard he had tried not to cry. He was literally in pain from trying to keep the tears in, and ended up crying from both sadness and pain.


I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains..


       He also remembered the biggest mistake of his life he made that night. He went to a bar. How stupid could he have been!? It's a known fact that you should never go to a bar when your depressed, especially if you don't know the people at the bar. He could recall the gulp after gulp, drink after drink he took as he confessed his problems to the bartender. When he

woke up, he was lying in the street at 2 am with his wallet and 14 carrot gold watch missing.

You're gone..
You're gone..
Baby you're gone
Girl you're gone, baby girl, you're gone..
You're gone..
You're...

I don't wanna make excuses, baby
Won't change the fact that you're gone
But if there's something that I could do
Won't you please let me know?

He supposed being her friend wasn't so bad. He would still see her a lot. But they would never hug, unless one just had their life saved or something. No more cuddling on the couch, no more romantic dinners, and no more confessing secrets.


Time is passing so slowly now
Guess that's my life without you
and maybe I could change my every day
But baby I don't want to

It seemed like a year ago, but it had just happened this evening. Nothing seemed the same without his Bulma to light up his life, and to encourage him when he was down. He remembered the time when he entered the World Martial Arts Tournament with Goku and Krillin. Bulma was right in the stands, cheering for him. Yep, she was his main reason for waking up every day.

So I'll just hang around
and find some things to do
To take my mind off missing you

He had tried many things to take his mind off Bulma. He played baseball, went in search of the Dragonballs for no reason, and even resorted to dating other women. But no matter what, everything he did reminded him of a time when he was with Bulma.

and I know in my heart
You can't say that you don't love me too
Please say you do

He knew that she still loved him. In fact, when she broke up with him, she said that she will always love him deeply. The only thing he had to wonder about is what she loves him as.


Yeeaah....

I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains

You're gone..
You're gone..
You're gone
You're gone...you're gone.. you're....
Gone

Ohhh...

Oh what'll I do
If I can't be with you
Tell me where will I turn to
Baby who will I be

Now there was really no one to talk to. He could always tell Goku, but Goku wouldn't understand. He's had Chi Chi since he was young. There was no one to say "I love you" to, no one to tell his problems to, and no one to fuss over and take care of.

Now that we are apart
Am I still in your heart?

She once told him that she would always love him deeply as her lover. Was that a lie?

Baby why don't you see?

That I need you here with me
Oohhh...

He needed her, and that's why they always go back together. He supposed it was because they were both lonely. Now that she has Vegeta, she'll never be lonely again. He wished he could say the same.
I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains

He decided that since they were friends, he could still talk to her. Right? He picked up his phone and dialed Casple Corp.

Been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong

He guessed he was still lonely. He could hear the other end ringing. He took a deep breath.

I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains

"Hello?" a female voice sang over the phone. He sighed in relief. Her mother. "Yea, can I talk to Bulma?" he asked. "Yes, of course!" she squeaked and ran off. He prayed she wouldn't tell Bulma who it was.

You're gone..
You're gone..
You're gone
You're gone
Gone
You're gone..

"Hello?" a beautiful voice asked. Bulma. He took a deep breath.

But the truth remains
You're....

            He sighed. He was fighting the inevitable. "Hey Bulma!" he chirped happily. "It's Yamcha!"
