A/N: Hey all of ma readers and reviewers! Don't worry, we're getting to the B/V part so keep your pants on. All right, I also want to thank all of my reviewers for reviewing and I also wanted to say that I have reposted the last chapter since in the beginning I was calling Ami Jess. Well, I was working on my other story while I was writing this one and I sorta got messed up and put my main characters name in my other story in this one. But I fixed it all up and it's as good as new. Ok, enough of this, lets get to the story…ENJOY AND REVIEW AND REVIEW!!!
Chapter Five
Ideas and Puppies?
The sun's rays shined into the spacious home and a slight breeze blew in through the windows causing the curtains to flow with a soothing rhythm. The fresh scent of wintergreen, lilies, and rain flew about in the air and a hint of pancakes? Vegeta's eyes slowly opened to quickly shut after almost being roasted in the sun's light. He rolled over to the side and opened his eyes once more to see that he wasn't in his room. He looked about the room and spotted someone hanging off of the side of the bed next to his. Goku. He had drool trickling down the side of his mouth and was snoring very loudly. Vegeta didn't know how he could have slept with that huge racket, but he dismissed the whole matter.
He tried to remember why he was there, until the thought hit him square in the face. His father. Vegeta placed a scowl on his face and he glared at the wall trying to burn a hole through it with his intense gaze. Suddenly, he heard some shuffling and saw Goku, still half-asleep, roll out of his bed and crawl to the door while sniffing the air. Vegeta looked dumbly at his friend's behavior and then he finally found out why he was acting so weird. Vegeta sniffed the air and he could smell the scent of pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and whatever you could think of. He lazily lifted himself off of the comfy mattress and followed the still crawling Goku down the stairs and towards the kitchen. The sweet aroma of food filled his senses and it pulled him towards the source. When he arrived at the kitchen, he saw Ami at the stove stirring something that looked like chipped beef and some kind of sauce. Whatever it was, it smelled gooooooood! He also saw plates all over the counters and table stacked with all kinds of breakfast foods and his mouth watered just by looking at all of it. By this time, Goku was fully awake and had a huge puddle of drool at his feet. As if Ami just sensed that they were there, she turned around and smiled at the boy's faces.
"Good morning guys. How did you sleep?" She asked with a bright smile on her face and a bit of chirpiness in her voice. Vegeta looked at her strangely and nodded his head. ~ What's up with her? She's never cheerful in the morning. ~ He shrugged it off and slowly walked over to the table and sat down.
"Oh and Goku, don't stuff your face just yet. We do want some food left for the rest of us, ok?" Goku just licked his lips and stared dreamy eyed at the piles of food sitting right in front of him. His stomach growled and knocked him back into reality. He chuckled and put his hand behind his head in a usual Goku/Son manner.
"I'll try Ami. It'll be hard though."
"I know, why don't you go wake up Sano and Raditz so we can eat today." She added with a bit of sarcasm in her voice. Before she knew it, Goku was gone and then just as quickly as he left, he was back again with a still half-asleep Raditz and Sano in tow.
"Can we eat now?" Ami giggled and nodded her head.
"Sure." Goku dropped his brother and friend and flew to the table in a hurry. He loaded fifteen plates with every kind of food Ami made and ate it with absolutely no manners what so ever. Vegeta glanced at him with disgust while piling his own share of food on his many plates. Raditz and Sano sat down and did the same as the rest of the gang and bit at the food hungrily. Ami strolled over to the table with the chipped beef and gave each of them a portion of the steamy substance. She then plopped down in her seat in between Vegeta and Sano and scooped up a little bit of everything onto her couple of plates. After about fifteen minutes, everyone's bellies were filled and Ami started cleaning up and doing the dishes.
"That was good. Thanks a lot Ami." Goku complimented while rubbing his tummy. He licked his lips clean and sat up from his seat and decided to get ready for another day at school. After thirty minutes of getting ready, they all grabbed their stuff and locked the door on their way out.
"Sano, you come with me. I'll take you to school." Ami stated while rubbing her little brother's head. He grabbed her hand and threw it towards her side where it 'belonged' as Sano put it. Ami just chuckled at him and gave him a quick noogie before he blew up at her.
"Stop it! I hate noogies! Ames!!! (that's her nickname) Stop, you're messing up my hair!" Sano whined as he tried to pry her fist off of his head.
"Oh, ok. You're such a sourpuss." She mumbled as she opened up her car door. She opened up the top of her car since she closed it in the middle of the night as soon as she heard thunder. It was quite funny actually, since Vegeta woke up at the same time and they met up at the door. As soon as they put the covers on their vehicles, it started to down pour and they both came in soaking wet. But the thing that was really funny was Vegeta's hair was still standing, except it looked like a huge hairball. He had to shake his head like a dog just to get all of the water out of it and a puddle of water formed down below him. Ami chuckled just thinking about it. Sano jumped into the passenger seat as soon as the top was down and Ami started the car. Sano turned on the radio full blast and he rocked to the beat of an unknown heavy metal song. Ami was about to pull out until Vegeta cut her off while driving out of the driveway and he beeped his horn at her in victory.
"Ass! I'll get you!" Ami then sped out of the driveway followed by Goku in his dark blue Mustang GT and then Raditz in his silver Acura. They all drove on the highway towards their school, racing past each other and the other cars. Vegeta was in the lead with Goku on his tail, and then Ami and Raditz who were driving side by side in their own lanes. Suddenly, Raditz smirked at Ami and slammed on his gas pedal, passing right by her and then his brother. Ami looked at him in disbelief and then punched her steering wheel in frustration. Sano glanced at her while hanging onto the car handle with a death grip and then looked back at the road. Then his whole expression changed and he looked right at his sister.
"Come on Ami! Let's beat these suckers!" He yelled over the music. Ami glanced at her brother a few times and then smirked.
"Hang on Sano!" Ami slammed her foot on the gas pedal and zoomed by the other floating cars in her way. She raced up towards Goku and passed him slowly. He looked her way and saw the determined look on her face. He slowed down a bit and let her pass him, being the nice guy he was. Ami didn't even notice that he slowed down and soon enough she caught up to Raditz and Vegeta. She pulled up next to Raditz and she stuck her tongue out at him as she passed him. He looked at her with wide eyes and his gaze followed her car as she passed him slowly but surely.
"Two down, one to go." She murmured. Sano looked at her with a proud smile knowing that he gave her inspiration. His gaze then fell on Vegeta's jeep. Man was he flying! He bet that he was going at least 120 and yet he didn't even know how fast he COULD go. Vegeta glanced into his rear view mirror and he saw his sister pull up to the backside of him. He growled and tried to go faster, but he couldn't go that much faster. Ami pulled up next to her brother so they were eye to eye and she stuck her tongue out at him.
"I told you I'd get you!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Vegeta caught what she said and he gave her the finger.
"No you didn't wench!" He yelled as loud as he could. You have to yell to be able to have a person hear you who has their radio on full blast as well as yours and then be going like over 100 mph. Well anyways, Vegeta shifted gears again and he got a jump start earning himself a few feet in front of Ami again. Ami growled at her brother's movements, but her expression faltered as soon as she saw the exit she was suppose to get off.
"Holy shit! Hang on Sano!" Ami slammed on her brakes and swiftly turned the steering wheel so she was in the lane for the exit. Her exit was before the rest of them since Sano's school was a few miles away from their school. She lowered her speed to 35 mph. in a few seconds and you could see the smoke coming from the back tires from the sudden motion. Ami let out a breath that she didn't even know she was holding and smiled over at her pale-faced brother.
"Man, what a rush!" Ami screamed out as adrenaline pumped through her veins. Sano was still half-conscious since that scared the shit out of him and he started breathing raggedly. He glanced over at his sister and saw the crazy smile perched on her lips. He shook his head, trying to get all the feeling of his body back and soon enough it did. Ten minutes later, they arrived at his school and Ami waved to him as she pulled out of the school parking lot. She drove over to her school and in about twenty minutes, she pulled into the student parking lot. She parked next to Goku's Mustang and turned off the ignition. She looked at her watch and noticed that she only had two minutes to get to class. She locked her car and jogged into the school and over to her homeroom. She entered the room out of breath and saw all of her friends sitting in the back corner of the room. They must have seen her too cause Vegeta had a smirk on his face that just screamed out superior and Goku was looking at her worriedly. He must have seen her hasty retreat to the exit and was wondering if she was ok. Bulma smiled and strolled over to meet her halfway to the back.
"Hey Ames! I heard that you, Vegeta, Goku, and Raditz had a race here."
"Yup. But I had to leave the race early to get to Sano's school. I'll tell you, it pays to get your car souped up." Both girls giggled and they made their way to the back of the room to join the rest of their friends. As soon as they arrived it seemed that Goku's expression changed to a happy smile and Raditz was just looking at her with a smirk on his face as well.
"So what happened to our little princess? Forget what exit to get off at?" Raditz teased. Ami narrowed her eyes at him and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Maybe. It was heat of the moment and I would have had Vegeta if it wasn't for that damn exit." Ami answered angrily. Vegeta snorted and looked at her with arrogance evident in his eyes.
"Yea, you wish. You never had me so I'd just get that idea out of your head."
"I almost beat you and you know it!"
"Yea…right." He rolled his eyes at her and crossed his arms over his chest.
"I believe you Ami. Quit being a sore loser Vegeta." Bulma stepped in. She nudged Vegeta on the shoulder with her hand and he narrowed his eyes at her.
"How would you know woman? I don't think you were there."
"We all know how you are Vegeta. I can bet you nine out of ten that Ami is telling the truth." Vegeta raised an eyebrow in question and took a few steps closer to her until his face was only mere inches from hers.
"Prove it." He said in a deep husky voice that sent chills up and down her spine. She gazed into his dark onyx eyes and admired his swirling mysterious orbs. His eyes had always plagued her. They were the only things about him that showed any emotion what so ever. They were like the windows to his soul, except he always tried to hide his emotions to the world so it was a little harder to see. She was knocked out of her trance as she saw the tug at the corners of his mouth.
"That's what I thought." He remarked and back-stepped into the desk only to lean on it. Bulma looked around and saw all eyes on her and Vegeta. What just happened? She cleared her throat and skipped over to stand over next to Chi-Chi.
"So? What classes do you two have next? We never went over that since you guys didn't come until like halfway through the school day." 18 stated to ease the tension between them all.
"I have…Science." Ami stuck out her tongue in a disgusted manner.
"How bout you Veg-head?" Bulma asked adding enthusiasm to her words. Vegeta just glared at her and glanced at his schedule.
"Math."
"Oh great, you just have to be in MY class don't you?" Bulma muttered to herself. Vegeta scowled at her and crossed his arms over his chest.
"You think I want to be in the same class as you?"
"Of course you would. I just don't want you in my class." Vegeta growled and shook his head at her sudden change of mood.
"Oh, well me and Goku have science too." Chi-Chi answered for herself and Goku. She was staring at the two having their usual squabble of the day and an idea suddenly hit her. She smiled deviously and glanced over at 18 who was staring at her weirdly. Chi-Chi mouthed the word 'idea' to her and 18 nodded her head in understanding.
"I have Math." Krillin grumbled as he checked out his schedule for like the fifth time.
"I have English all by my lonesome. Oh well, it'll be my sleeping class." Everyone nodded and stood up as the bell rang for first period. They all left the room in a hurry and strolled over to their next class.
A couple of periods later… Lunch
"Kami that class is so freaking boring!" 18 bellowed as she roamed the halls with Bulma by her side and Vegeta not too far behind.
"I know. The teacher just spits on you while he talks about George Washington or something like that. What a goofball."
"I agree. I think the guy's a fag too." Vegeta added as he joined the conversation.
"Yea, me too. Did you see the way he was looking at you? He was like drooling." Bulma giggled and Vegeta's face turned a bright red as he scowled.
"Maybe he'll ask you out tomorrow Vegeta. You should say yes." 18 teased. Vegeta glared sharp, very sharp daggers at her and growled.
"Oh give him a break 18. We all know he was looking at your ass when he made you write on the chalkboard." Bulma stated matter-of-factly. 18's eyes widened a second and she clenched her fists.
"He did what? Are you joking me?"
"Hmph. Maybe he was staring at me cause I was talking to you during class. So that means that he likes you." Vegeta smirked and chuckled a bit. 18 glared at him and threatened him with her fist. Bulma shook her head at the two and decided to break up a fight that was just about to occur. 18 and Vegeta crossed their arms and shoved their way through the crowded halls and ended up at their lockers. Bulma hastily followed them and they all threw their books in their lockers and headed over to the cafeteria. All of their lockers were right next to each other since they specially asked for them and it made it easier for them to see each other through the day. The three arrived at the huge lunch- room and stomped over to their table that they declared 'their table'.
"Hey guys!" Chi-Chi greeted as she waved at them. "18, I need to talk to you."
"Sure, what about?" Chi-Chi glanced over at Bulma and 18 'ohhhed' in a low voice. Bulma stared at the two with confused eyes and put her hands on her hips. They were going to tell her too right? They always told her everything, so they should.
"I'm gonna go get my lunch. Be right back." Bulma jogged over to the lunch line and caught up with Vegeta.
"Ok, you have gotta keep this secret ok? No telling Bulma."
"Alright."
"Good. I think that we should hook Bulma and Vegeta together." 18's eyes widened and she stared at Chi-Chi with a shocked expression.
"What? That would never work out Chi and you know it."
"No, it will work. I mean, just look at them. They belong together." 18 glanced over at Bulma and Vegeta arguing in the line while grabbing their knives with extra strength. She thought it over in her head and realized that they were really alike in many ways. Both arrogant, smart, commanding, and Bulma is the only one he would really open up to besides his sister. 18 sighed and gazed at Chi-Chi's expectant face.
"I guess so. Ok, I'm in."
"Great! Oh and guess what?"
"What?"
"I think I'm also seeing sparks fly between Raditz and Ami. We should hook them up too."
"Ami and Raditz? Are you sure?"
"Oh yea. Can't you tell that they flirt like almost all of the time?"
"No."
"Then you don't pay attention."
"Yea, yea. Oh here they come."
"We'll talk about this later."
"Gotcha." Everyone made it back to the table and set down the trays on the table. Goku and Krillin slid a tray over to their girls and smiled at them.
"So, what were you two talking about?" Bulma asked as she stuck a fork full of food in her mouth.
"Oh nothing important. Just clothes and stuff." Chi-Chi lied. Bulma looked at her as if she was trying to read her mind and Chi-Chi cringed under her hard gaze.
"Ahem." Everyone glanced over at Ami and she looked at them weirdly.
"What? I was clearing my throat." They rolled their eyes at her and continued eating their food.
"Oh guess what?" Bulma asked suddenly causing everyone to jump in their seats.
"Don't do that! You scared us half to death." Ami breathed out as she held her hand over her chest.
"Sorry. But anyways, I saw this really cute puppy for sale at the mall and decided that I'm going to but it."
"You serious? Oh, I dislike you very much right now! I want a puppy, but I can't get one since…um…" Everyone looked at Ami with curious eyes and she chuckled a bit under the pressure of their gaze. Vegeta narrowed his eyes at her almost like he was telling her something. "Cause umm…no pets are allowed in my house."
"Really? I didn't know that." Goku scratched his head with his fingers and cocked his head to the side. Bulma rolled his eyes at him since she understood what Ami was talking about. Her father would probably kill or abuse the dog in a matter of days and Ami wouldn't be able to stand the heartbreak.
"Yea, well I'll get one when I move out of that Kami forsaken house."
"What kind is it?" Krillin asked with a mouth full of food.
"A German Shepherd. One of the best guard dogs there is."
"When...are..you…. getting…it?" Goku questioned in between gulps.
"Probably today. I can't wait."
"You have to bring me with you." Ami pleaded.
"And me." Chi-Chi insisted.
"Me too." 18 raised her hand to signal that she wanted to come also.
"Why don't we all just go? That way we can look around the mall and buy stuff. We haven't all done that in a while." Chi-Chi exclaimed.
"Sure, I don't have anything to do."
"Me too." The two boys remarked.
"How bout you Vegeta? You know you want to see all the cute and fluffy puppies in there. Maybe they'll even be a hot-tempered one just like you." Bulma joked. Vegeta rolled his eyes at her sad joke and nodded in agreement.
"I don't think you leave me with a choice woman."
"That's right." Bulma smiled and winked at him. Vegeta just scowled and rose from his seat to throw away his tray.
"Ok, so we all meet at the parking lot after school. Got it?" Bulma explained.
"Oh wait! What about Sano? I have to pick him up from school." Ami thought about what to do, but she was interrupted by Chi-Chi's booming voice.
"Can't he take the bus?" Chi-Chi asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Well, we're staying at Goku's for a little bit for like a vacation sort of, you know they need a cook. So Sano, Vegeta, and me are staying there for the time being. So I need to pick him up."
"I have an idea. Call one of his friend's parents and ask them if they could pick him up and he can play with friend."
"Oh great idea." Ami took out her cell and dialed one of his friend's houses. After a few minutes of talking to his best friend Riley's mother, she convinced her to watch over him for a bit while she was gone.
"Ok so we're all set?"
"Yup." They all said in unison. The bell rang and they ran out of the room for their next class.
A/N: OoOoOoOo!!! A trip to the mall and a cute puppy! I love puppies and I don't know what inspired me to put it in, but I have new ideas coming to me already, awesome! Well, please REVIEW AND REVIEW and tell me what you think! Till next chapter…
