Vegeta: hope she knows she's probably gonna get killed from your insanity!
Lycra: (see bio for details on her) NO ONE TALKS ABOUT MY MASTER LIKE THAT! (Whacks Vegeta)
Vegeta: X_X
Ravage: dang, one whack and he's down.
Lycra: I borrowed this. (holds purse)
Ravage: O.O you can hold it too? I thought Bulma and me were the only ones. Oh well, good job Lycra. "speaking" /italics/ (a/n and effects) ~~ scene changing ~~ * thoughts.* Go Lycra!
Lycra: this is chapter three of Ravage Blue's story "Races of the Heart."
Ravage: Starring: Kaori as herself. This chapter is titled (clears throat) Chapter three: -!
Mr. Bean from rat race: It's a race! It's a race! I hope I win!
Ravage, Lycra: O.O how did he get here?!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Attention ladies and Gentleman! The race will start in precisely twenty minutes. Please find a seat." "Oh crap!" Vegeta got up and ran out. He grabbed the blanket as he was hurrying out. He could hear the engines roaring at the track. "Oh please don't start! Please!" he murmured as he ran.
He found that he wasn't the only one who was late. He learned it the hard way anyway. As he ran by the restrooms, some girl opened the door and he ran smack dab into it. "OW!" he shouted. A girl with dark, short, spiky red hair looked at him from behind the door. "oops, sorry. Didn't see you!" her blue eyes looked him up and down. She blew her bangs out of her face before giving a low whistle. "where were you heading anyway cutie?" she said helping him up. Vegeta looked at her kinda confused. He hadn't noticed he was blushing slightly. "I need to get to the race track. I've got to see who's racing." The girl smiled. "now I know who you are. You're Bulma's mechanic. You're going to get it. Bulma was picked to race for your information." "oh crap!" Vegeta began running. The girl following him. Her outfit looked like Yugi Moto's (A/N is that how you spell it?) outfit. She kept teasing Vegeta on how Bulma was going to kill him. He wasn't listening. He was content on getting to the stupid track. If not, Bulma would kill him. "... and then she'll whack you with the purse of hers." "just how do you know her?" Vegeta asked. "the name's Kaori. I'm the third best rider around. So how could I not know Bulma." "oh." Was all Vegeta said.
As they pushed their way through the crowd, Vegeta heard the ATV's drive off. * Oh man I am so fired!* he thought. They finally broke through the crowd after Kaori threatened to run everyone down with her ATV if they didn't move. They watched from the sidelines and saw the riders passing by. Vegeta was confused. Didn't they just ride off? Kaori saw his expression of utter confusion. "You don't really think they're that slow? Bulma's definitely going to break the fastest lap record by the time she's done. You have to give everyone credit here. We all work our butts off to perfect everything." Kaori explained. Vegeta looked at her and then continued watching the race. Kaori glared. She grabbed his ear. "are you listening to me Cutie?" "Ow! First off all, my name's Vegeta! And yes I'm listening!" Vegeta growled. "oh Okie dokie Veggie!" "Veggie?!" Vegeta looked at her, but Kaori was watching the race now. * what a flirt! I like her better then Bulma though!* Vegeta thought and watched the race also. He hadn't realized that Bulma was on her fourth lap. One more and she would be done. So was he after Bulma found him. "hey Vegeta!"
Vegeta and Kaori turned and saw Chi Chi, 18, Krillin and Goku. (A/N oh look! All the lovebirds and they don't even know it. except Vegeta and Kaori they don't count. Sowwy!) Chi Chi and 18 were smirking. "you do know Bulma's going to kill you don't you?" Krillin asked. Vegeta gave him a death glare. "okay so maybe you do!" Krillin hid behind Goku. "what kept you anyway?" Goku asked. "I slept in." Vegeta murmured. Kaori smiled and shook her head. "hey, anyone know what happened to McNabb after last night?" she asked. Goku grimaced. "I do. He and Brian took their waterguns and went and sabotaged some other teams camps. And then he blamed it on Piccolo, Tien and me. The team's owner was furious and threatened to have us fired but Dr. Briefs calmed him down." Goku said flatly. He was obviously not happy. Chi Chi hugged him. "it'll be alright Goku. The next time we pass by any kind of restaurant, I'll buy whatever you want to eat." "YAY!" Vegeta, Kaori, Krillin, and 18 all got annoyed signs. "where will she get the money?" Krillin asked. "probably from her paychecks to come." 18 said. "will that even cover it?" Kaori asked. "More than likely not." Vegeta said. then he saw Bulma pass by again. "hey guys, she's on her fifth lap." he said. Kaori and 18 shrugged. "well, let's get going. We all know she'll win." They walked off. Krillin, Chi Chi and Goku followed. Vegeta blinked but followed anyway. He knew she was going to kill him but ,maybe she wouldn't infront of so many people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ at Pizza Hut ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"WHY WERE YOU NOT THERE?!?!" Bulma was choking Vegeta practically. "Ack! What- is the - big -deal?! You didn't- need me!" he choked up. (A/N get it? choked up? okay, bad pun I know.) The only people there was everyone from the team to celebrate the win so no one really thought this as a big spectacle. Except Chi Chi 18 and Kaori who were cracking up at the fight. "it doesn't matter if I needed you or not. I still think it would be nice to have my whole team there. I knew I should've thrown some cold water on you when I woke up." Bulma growled at him. "Ack! So- it's your- fault! NOT- MINE!" Vegeta was trying to get away from her. "No I still blame it on you," she let him go and he crawled to a booth whimpering, "and if you pull off something like that again, I'll see to it that I high tail you out of here faster then you could say pickle!" Bulma glared at him one final time then ate a slice of pizza. "pickle?! Where?" Goku asked. Chi Chi shook her head. Kaori looked out the window and was obviously intrigued by something. "hey, Bulma, gather Aaron, Gotu, and Chi Chi. I say that we have our own race." She said. Bulma shook her head. "Aaron, is out for the night. I think he's in trouble for some reason." Goku, Piccolo, and Tien all choked on their food.
Kaori smiled. "We'll get some one else then," she stood on the table, "anyone have to guts to race us?!" she shouted all over pizza hut. All the riders shook their heads. "aw! come one. Can't have a race with out at least five racers." Kaori looked at all of Team Ravage. "OH COME ON YOU BIG CHICKENS!" she shouted. Everyone cowered and tried to ignore her. All except one. "I'll race." Said someone behind Bulma. She looked back and saw Vegeta. "Oh no you don't! I'm still pissed off at you! So just go back to your corner!" "what, you afraid you're going to lose to your own mechanic, /Boss/?" Vegeta teased. Bulma glared daggers at him. "FINE THEN! We'll make a bet. If even one of us beats you, you have two choices. Hell for you for the rest of your career here or you leave. And if you beat every last one of us, you keep your job and I /might/ lay off of you!" Bulma said. Vegeta smirked. "you have a deal then." He went outside followed by Kaori, Chi Chi, Gotu (A/N I'll explain him in a little bit), and Bulma.
Gotu, a boy with black hair that looked kind of like Harry potter's, took out his keys and opened the back of the semi. "so Vegeta, looks like you're getting the Ravage Talon Black. You okay with that?" he asked. Vegeta shrugged, took the keys and drove it out of the truck. Here's what everyone else got:
Chi Chi: Ravage Talon Yellow
Bulma: Ravage Talon Blue
Kaori: Ravage Talon Red
Vegeta: Ravage Talon Black
Gotu: Ravage Talon Green
Well, all of them got all five Ravage talon ATV's. this would be an interesting race. Goku ran out and kissed chi chi on the cheek before he told them all the rules. "at exactly 11:00 tonight, you all start. We're riding up to the mall that's twenty miles from here. (A/N Yes, big town. I know -_-) the first one there is the winner. Basically, it's the riders versus the mechanic. (annoyed sign) Launch will be here to count you down. Well, see you guys!" Goku got in the truck, along with piccolo and Dende in the back, and drove off. Kaori looked at Launch. "well, what time is it, Launch?" she asked. "its 10:56 so just keep your shirts on for four short minutes." Launch said looking at her watch. Vegeta had only bothered with a helmet and some gloves, which he borrowed from Gotu. Everyone else had suited up the whole way. Bulma had her Ravage Blue gear and Chi Chi, Kaori, and Gotu had colors all to match their ATV's. Bulma was just putting on her gloves when she noticed that Vegeta only had gloves and a helmet. She looked at her watch. * still three minutes.* she thought. She looked at Chi Chi. "hey! Chi! Go get the Ravage Black's gear. He'll need it. hurry!" Bulma said. Chi Chi put her helmet on the handle, went into the truck and soon came back out with the gear and gave them to Bulma. Bulma passed them to Kaori. "hey, Red, give this to Vegeta and tell him to hurry up." she said. Kaori smiled. "Sure Blue!" she turned to Vegeta who was next to her. "hey veggie!" "don't call me that!" "nah! Put this on really quick! You'll need it since you're against all four of us." Kaori winked at him when she shoved the gear into his arms. Vegeta raised an eyebrow at her still quite confused at her flirting but quickly ran into Pizza hut, went in the bathroom and changed. He liked this color a lot. It was mainly black but had orange flames on it too. Kinda like the ATV.
When Vegeta came back out, all ready, it was thirty seconds to go. At twenty all the riders started up the engines. And at ten, launch counted, shouting at the top of her voice. At Seven, she sneezed and went Blonde. " four... three... two... one.... GO!" Launch shot one of her guns and they immediately sped off. Right when they were out of sight, Dr. Briefs and Mrs. Briefs pulled up into the Pizza hut parking lot. "launch, what's going on here?" Dr. Briefs asked seeing the Semi door opened. "Oh nothin Dr. B! Just five of the team racin, that's all!" Launch said. Dr. Briefs just nodded. "oh okay then, (cough) did any of you leave a slice of pizza for me?" he asked. Launch looked up from the last pizza, which she was eating. "uh no. sorry! Ya should've made reservations! Well, I'm off to the mall to see that they're alright. See ya!" launch got in her bus and drove off with everyone else who was on her bus earlier. " But I wanted Pizza! T_T" cried Dr. Briefs. "Cup cake?" Mrs. Briefs said happily! (A/N yes I know launch usually starts a gunning riot, but I decided to make her a bit more in control. Oh no! Tomatoes!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ at the race ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone in the race was shocked. Vegeta was pretty damn good. He was neck and neck with Bulma. After them was Kaori, and then Chi Chi and Gotu were tied in the third place. Kaori smiled though no one saw it. "I never thought you'd have competition Blue!" she shouted over the exciting roar of the engines. "And he's your own Mechanic!" Gotu shouted from the back. Bulma glared at Gotu and flipped him off before returning her attention to the race. They were racing in the fields and in some deserted streets, but concentration left her as the air blew past her causing a rush and need for speed deep inside. For some reason, this feeling never came up in a race, but always in a non-important race. Such as the current situation.
Vegeta saw Bulma loosen up a bit. She had seemed so stiff and complete focused and now she seemed laid back. * what is with the change? Is she trying to pull something?* he thought. It wasn't long before Bulma took probably a 40 second lead. Vegeta literally put the pedal to the metal and sped up after her. He was determined to win this. If he didn't it meant hell all over again. Nope, he couldn't think of a reason he'd want that. His last problem was bad enough and he didn't need Bulma making it worse just when he got over it. The two hadn't even noticed that they had completely outraced the other three. Kaori, Gotu, and Chi Chi were no where to be seen behind them. Bulma looked back at Vegeta and smiled. "Come on Vegeta! Not going to lose to a girl are you?" she teased. She looked back ahead and saw a steep ramp. "Oh shit." She murmured. Vegeta saw it and said the same thing she did. He put the brakes on but Bulma kept going. She rode up the ramp and her ATV was soaring in the air. She smirked again and got up and did a Cordova. As she sat back down, she landed perfectly on the other side. She stopped, wondering if Vegeta would take the jump.
Just as she gave up hope on him and started out to the mall, she heard the engine roar to life and soon saw Vegeta's ATV in the air. He looked down and waved at her as if mocking her and as he landed he sped off. Bulma took a clue and followed him quickly. * How did he jump higher then me?* she thought. She saw lights ahead of them and knew immediately it was the mall. Vegeta smirked to himself. He was really going to win. Not that it was too surprising. (A/N same old proud, over confident Vegeta wouldn't you say? NO! more tomatoes!) Just about there! Just a little more! * um, is that a cat infront of me?* Vegeta thought. "oh crap."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the bus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaori was putting bandages around Vegeta's head. He only growled constantly. And most of it sounded like "stupid cat." He had won the race all right. But a cat had gotten right infront of him, made him take a sharp turn, and he stopped after he hit a tree. Luckily, nothing major had happened. He just had bruises and a few cuts. Launch shook her head. "a cat? Must've been a black cat." "actually it was white." Bulma said. Goku, who was sitting behind Vegeta, was cracking up. "it was kind of funny! Vegeta's downfall was a white cat!" he laughed up. Vegeta punched him in the face. "It was not funny Goku! And as soon as the whole place quits spinning, I'll kill you!" Vegeta sat down with a headache. Kaori laughed at him. "well I expect Vegeta to wake up in the middle of the night tomorrow yelling at the top of his lungs, 'No! the cat has come to get me!'" she said. Bulma nodded her head in agreement. "and now we have to get back and fix the Ravage Talon Black. And you know, the Black was mine." Bulma said. Vegeta's face lost all color. * oh great. Once we get back, she's going to force me to work. Just what I -Ow- I need to stop thinking! It hurts!* Vegeta winced as his thinking increased his headache.
Bulma shook her head. "and since you're out of commission, that means I have to do it myself." Bulma said. Vegeta stared at her. "you?" "yep. No one touches the Ravage Black except me. I was going to see how good you were by letting you try and fix it, but in the condition you're in, there ain't no way I'm letting you touch my Prized ATV. I'll fix it myself." Bulma stood up and went to the back of the bus with Chi Chi and 18. Kaori whistled. "and if you had fixed it, you would've had a spot in her favorites. Well, too bad that hard head of yours hit the tree!" she said. Vegeta glared, winced as his headache increased again, and then finally got some sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at Capsule Corp. (a.k.a. Head quarters! I'll shut up now) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vegeta was sitting in his /chair/ with a wet rag over his face. It felt good to be back. * I can't believe I made a fool of myself while riding that ATV though. -.-* he thought. "stupid cat!" he murmured. All of a sudden a pillow came and hit him. He looked up. Bulma, Chi Chi, 18, Yamcha, Krillin, and Dende were looking at him. "what?!" he growled. "keep an eye on our stuff. We're going out." 18 said. Vegeta stared at them. "but we just got back. And it's 3:00 in the morning." He murmured. "and why are you so worried? Don't worry, we'll be fine. And we'll be back soon. The party shouldn't last more then two hours. We should be back by sun up." Chi Chi said. "we'd ask you to go, but we don't think you'd be up to it. Plus Bulma ordered us to not ask you." Krillin said. Bulma kicked him in the head. "shut up Krillin. Well, see you Vegetal!" Bulma said. Yamcha put his arm around her and they walked out into the hall. Everyone else followed them and soon Vegeta was left all alone. He glared at the closed door. "Damn woman." He growled for no apparent reason.
After about thirty minutes, Vegeta officially decided he was bored beyond reason. He couldn't get to sleep, he had no one to talk to, or to fight with in that case, and nothing was on TV. He was so very bored. Bored, bored, bored. "oh yes, I'm very bored." He said aloud. He got up and went to his room. He was looking for anything to keep him occupied. "oh great... nothin." He growled again. He grabbed a jacket and walked out. He decided he'd take a look around. As he pressed the elevator down button, it opened and Bulma about ran into him. she looked up at him and glared. "mind getting out of my way?" she snapped. Vegeta moved aside. She walked past him and went back in her room. Vegeta raised an eyebrow and, for some reason, followed her. "why are you back so early?" he asked. He got a brush thrown at him. he ducked and looked over at her. Bulma was looking through her desk for something. "well, miss Hostility. Feel free to throw a knife at me the next time and I won't duck." He said sarcastically. He ducked from a stapler. "I was joking!" "Sorry, I've got bad aim. Have you seen a ring with a sapphire and six rubies on either side of it?" Bulma asked him. he shook his head.
"great," she growled. She dumped a small box and began separating small trinkets looking for the ring. "What's so special about the ring?" Vegeta asked. "Oh I don't know, maybe because it's expensive, or is it because it's irreplaceable, or maybe it's my favorite? Nah, can't be it." Bulma said sarcastically. Vegeta looked at confused as ever. "Uh, are you being sarcastic about that? Ow!" Bulma had thrown a boot at him and it hit its target: his head. He swore several times as Bulma continued throwing stuff at him. He continued ducking though. Luckily. First he dodged a pair of scissors, some more boots, a hairpin about the size of a chopstick, and finally the ring, which actually hit him in the head. "Ow... again. Uh... I found your ring!" he said. Bulma looked at him. "well, that's using your head Vegeta! Thanks." She took the ring. But as she was walking away, Vegeta grabbed her by the wrist. She looked at him.
"come back here for a minute." He asked. She walked back infront of him. Vegeta stared at the sight infront of him. In the light coming from the window, stood the most beautiful woman he had laid eyes upon. And for the record, that was a lot. Her blue hair more cerulean, and her eyes shone like sapphires with a light fixed just perfectly on them. Her smooth skin white and yet exotic in the light made her almost irresistible. Vegeta fought back an urge to just take her into his arms and hold her like that forever. The only thing holding him back was the fact that she was his boss. Neither the boss, nor the employee acknowledged that they were blushing deeply. Nor did they notice that second by second, they were falling closer to each other. Physically and emotionally. Bulma broke the moment though. She looked away form his intimidating gaze and cleared her throat. "um... Thank you Vegeta, for finding my ring. Now, um, I'll see you after the party." She walked towards the door leaving a broken down Vegeta. Before her hand reached the door knob she stopped and looked back at him. he looked so defeated. He was kind of. He was falling so easily for her and then she ruined it. Just his luck. She frowned and wanted slap herself silly. She smiled though.
"Vegeta," she said, he looked at her, "well, I think Yamcha is kind of ditching me. Seems to be caught up in all the other girls around him. Um, would you mind replacing him? Just for the night?" Vegeta's face would have lit up with joy had he not been the stubborn jack ass he was. "just for tonight... right?" he asked. Bulma nodded. "not for real?" "not uless you want it to be real." "what if I do?" Vegeta bit his tongue after saying that. He was /never/ this open on anything. Bulma giggled. "then I'd have to say the feeling was mutual. So, you'll be my date?" Vegeta smiled. "it's a date then." He finally said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ back with Ravage Blue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ravage: Oh... does that count as a cliff hanger?
Vegeta: I can't believe it... That was actually a good chapter.
Lycra: how dare you insult my master! I should kill you right now!
Vegeta: I'd like to see you try!
Ravage: okay, settle down children! Well, I hope Kaori wasn't too screwed. If you are and reading this, just send me something pink or ship me off to the Happy World when I'm sleeping. Oh yeah. Gotu is Vash T.S.'s (Sakiya the Stampede) little brother's character. He told his big sister that he wanted to be in here so I put him in here. Well, still in need of riders and mechanics. You know the drill. And this is a thanks to Kaori who put her life on the line on agreeing with me! (yep, me that insane! ()
To Kaori: THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! One for reviewing and two, for wanting to be in here. I 'preciate ya!
Ravage: well, I forgot somehting else too. I didn't do no stinking disclaimer. YAY!
Lycra, Vegeta: She owns nothing!
Ravage: (whimper) you two are so mean to me! For one instant I owned everything! WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay I'm over it. well, R&R. No tomatoes. Until next chapter... BYE BYE!
Vegeta: hope she knows she's probably gonna get killed from your insanity!
Lycra: (see bio for details on her) NO ONE TALKS ABOUT MY MASTER LIKE THAT! (Whacks Vegeta)
Vegeta: X_X
Ravage: dang, one whack and he's down.
Lycra: I borrowed this. (holds purse)
Ravage: O.O you can hold it too? I thought Bulma and me were the only ones. Oh well, good job Lycra. "speaking" /italics/ (a/n and effects) ~~ scene changing ~~ * thoughts.* Go Lycra!
Lycra: this is chapter three of Ravage Blue's story "Races of the Heart."
Ravage: Starring: Kaori as herself. This chapter is titled (clears throat) Chapter three: -!
Mr. Bean from rat race: It's a race! It's a race! I hope I win!
Ravage, Lycra: O.O how did he get here?!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Attention ladies and Gentleman! The race will start in precisely twenty minutes. Please find a seat." "Oh crap!" Vegeta got up and ran out. He grabbed the blanket as he was hurrying out. He could hear the engines roaring at the track. "Oh please don't start! Please!" he murmured as he ran.
He found that he wasn't the only one who was late. He learned it the hard way anyway. As he ran by the restrooms, some girl opened the door and he ran smack dab into it. "OW!" he shouted. A girl with dark, short, spiky red hair looked at him from behind the door. "oops, sorry. Didn't see you!" her blue eyes looked him up and down. She blew her bangs out of her face before giving a low whistle. "where were you heading anyway cutie?" she said helping him up. Vegeta looked at her kinda confused. He hadn't noticed he was blushing slightly. "I need to get to the race track. I've got to see who's racing." The girl smiled. "now I know who you are. You're Bulma's mechanic. You're going to get it. Bulma was picked to race for your information." "oh crap!" Vegeta began running. The girl following him. Her outfit looked like Yugi Moto's (A/N is that how you spell it?) outfit. She kept teasing Vegeta on how Bulma was going to kill him. He wasn't listening. He was content on getting to the stupid track. If not, Bulma would kill him. "... and then she'll whack you with the purse of hers." "just how do you know her?" Vegeta asked. "the name's Kaori. I'm the third best rider around. So how could I not know Bulma." "oh." Was all Vegeta said.
As they pushed their way through the crowd, Vegeta heard the ATV's drive off. * Oh man I am so fired!* he thought. They finally broke through the crowd after Kaori threatened to run everyone down with her ATV if they didn't move. They watched from the sidelines and saw the riders passing by. Vegeta was confused. Didn't they just ride off? Kaori saw his expression of utter confusion. "You don't really think they're that slow? Bulma's definitely going to break the fastest lap record by the time she's done. You have to give everyone credit here. We all work our butts off to perfect everything." Kaori explained. Vegeta looked at her and then continued watching the race. Kaori glared. She grabbed his ear. "are you listening to me Cutie?" "Ow! First off all, my name's Vegeta! And yes I'm listening!" Vegeta growled. "oh Okie dokie Veggie!" "Veggie?!" Vegeta looked at her, but Kaori was watching the race now. * what a flirt! I like her better then Bulma though!* Vegeta thought and watched the race also. He hadn't realized that Bulma was on her fourth lap. One more and she would be done. So was he after Bulma found him. "hey Vegeta!"
Vegeta and Kaori turned and saw Chi Chi, 18, Krillin and Goku. (A/N oh look! All the lovebirds and they don't even know it. except Vegeta and Kaori they don't count. Sowwy!) Chi Chi and 18 were smirking. "you do know Bulma's going to kill you don't you?" Krillin asked. Vegeta gave him a death glare. "okay so maybe you do!" Krillin hid behind Goku. "what kept you anyway?" Goku asked. "I slept in." Vegeta murmured. Kaori smiled and shook her head. "hey, anyone know what happened to McNabb after last night?" she asked. Goku grimaced. "I do. He and Brian took their waterguns and went and sabotaged some other teams camps. And then he blamed it on Piccolo, Tien and me.

"probably from her paychecks to come." 18 said. "will that even cover it?" Kaori asked. "More than likely not." Vegeta said. then he saw Bulma pass by again. "hey guys, she's on her fifth lap." he said. Kaori and 18 shrugged. "well, let's get going. We all know she'll win." They walked off. Krillin, Chi Chi and Goku followed. Vegeta blinked but followed anyway. He knew she was going to kill him but ,maybe she wouldn't infront of so many people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ at Pizza Hut ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"WHY WERE YOU NOT THERE?!?!" Bulma was choking Vegeta practically. "Ack! What- is the - big -deal?! You didn't- need me!" he choked up. (A/N get it? choked up? okay, bad pun I know.) The only people there was everyone from the team to celebrate the win so no one really thought this as a big spectacle. Except Chi Chi 18 and Kaori who were cracking up at the fight. "it doesn't matter if I needed you or not. I still think it would be nice to have my whole team there. I knew I should've thrown some cold water on you when I woke up." Bulma growled at him. "Ack! So- it's your- fault! NOT- MINE!" Vegeta was trying to get away from her. "No I still blame it on you," she let him go and he crawled to a booth whimpering, "and if you pull off something like that again, I'll see to it that I high tail you out of here faster then you could say pickle!" Bulma glared at him one final time then ate a slice of pizza. "pickle?! Where?" Goku asked. Chi Chi shook her head. Kaori looked out the window and was obviously intrigued by something. "hey, Bulma, gather Aaron, Gotu, and Chi Chi. I say that we have our own race." She said. Bulma shook her head. "Aaron, is out for the night. I think he's in trouble for some reason." Goku, Piccolo, and Tien all choked on their food.
Kaori smiled. "We'll get some one else then," she stood on the table, "anyone have to guts to race us?!" she shouted all over pizza hut. All the riders shook their heads. "aw! come one. Can't have a race with out at least five racers." Kaori looked at all of Team Ravage. "OH COME ON YOU BIG CHICKENS!" she shouted. Everyone cowered and tried to ignore her. All except one. "I'll race." Said someone behind Bulma. She looked back and saw Vegeta. "Oh no you don't! I'm still pissed off at you! So just go back to your corner!" "what, you afraid you're going to lose to your own mechanic, /Boss/?" Vegeta teased. Bulma glared daggers at him. "FINE THEN! We'll make a bet. If even one of us beats you, you have two choices. Hell for you for the rest of your career here or you leave. And if you beat every last one of us, you keep your job and I /might/ lay off of you!" Bulma said. Vegeta smirked. "you have a deal then." He went outside followed by Kaori, Chi Chi, Gotu (A/N I'll explain him in a little bit), and Bulma.
Gotu, a boy with black hair that looked kind of like Harry potter's, took out his keys and opened the back of the semi. "so Vegeta, looks like you're getting the Ravage Talon Black. You okay with that?" he asked. Vegeta shrugged, took the keys and drove it out of the truck. Here's what everyone else got:
Chi Chi: Ravage Talon Yellow
Bulma: Ravage Talon Blue
Kaori: Ravage Talon Red
Vegeta: Ravage Talon Black
Gotu: Ravage Talon Green
Well, all of them got all five Ravage talon ATV's. this would be an interesting race. Goku ran out and kissed chi chi on the cheek before he told them all the rules. "at exactly 11:00 tonight, you all start. We're riding up to the mall that's twenty miles from here. (A/N Yes, big town. I know -_-) the first one there is the winner. Basically, it's the riders versus the mechanic. (annoyed sign) Launch will be here to count you down. Well, see you guys!" Goku got in the truck, along with piccolo and Dende in the back, and drove off. Kaori looked at Launch. "well, what time is it, Launch?" she asked. "its 10:56 so just keep your shirts on for four short minutes." Launch said looking at her watch. Vegeta had only bothered with a helmet and some gloves, which he borrowed from Gotu. Everyone else had suited up the whole way. Bulma had her Ravage Blue gear and Chi Chi, Kaori, and Gotu had colors all to match their ATV's. Bulma was just putting on her gloves when she noticed that Vegeta only had gloves and a helmet. She looked at her watch. * still three minutes.* she thought. She looked at Chi Chi. "hey! Chi! Go get the Ravage Black's gear. He'll need it. hurry!" Bulma said. Chi Chi put her helmet on the handle, went into the truck and soon came back out with the gear and gave them to Bulma. Bulma passed them to Kaori. "hey, Red, give this to Vegeta and tell him to hurry up." she said. Kaori smiled. "Sure Blue!" she turned to Vegeta who was next to her. "hey veggie!" "don't call me that!" "nah! Put this on really quick! You'll need it since you're against all four of us." Kaori winked at him when she shoved the gear into his arms. Vegeta raised an eyebrow at her still quite confused at her flirting but quickly ran into Pizza hut, went in the bathroom and changed. He liked this color a lot. It was mainly black but had orange flames on it too. Kinda like the ATV.
When Vegeta came back out, all ready, it was thirty seconds to go. At twenty all the riders started up the engines. And at ten, launch counted, shouting at the top of her voice. At Seven, she sneezed and went Blonde. " four... three... two... one.... GO!" Launch shot one of her guns and they immediately sped off. Right when they were out of sight, Dr. Briefs and Mrs. Briefs pulled up into the Pizza hut parking lot. "launch, what's going on here?" Dr. Briefs asked seeing the Semi door opened. "Oh nothin Dr. B! Just five of the team racin, that's all!" Launch said. Dr. Briefs just nodded. "oh okay then, (cough) did any of you leave a slice of pizza for me?" he asked. Launch looked up from the last pizza, which she was eating. "uh no. sorry! Ya should've made reservations! Well, I'm off to the mall to see that they're alright. See ya!" launch got in her bus and drove off with everyone else who was on her bus earlier. " But I wanted Pizza! T_T" cried Dr. Briefs. "Cup cake?" Mrs. Briefs said happily! (A/N yes I know launch usually starts a gunning riot, but I decided to make her a bit more in control. Oh no! Tomatoes!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ at the race ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone in the race was shocked. Vegeta was pretty damn good. He was neck and neck with Bulma. After them was Kaori, and then Chi Chi and Gotu were tied in the third place. Kaori smiled though no one saw it. "I never thought you'd have competition Blue!" she shouted over the exciting roar of the engines. "And he's your own Mechanic!" Gotu shouted from the back. Bulma glared at Gotu and flipped him off before returning her attention to the race. They were racing in the fields and in some deserted streets, but concentration left her as the air blew past her causing a rush and need for speed deep inside. For some reason, this feeling never came up in a race, but always in a non-important race. Such as the current situation.
Vegeta saw Bulma loosen up a bit. She had seemed so stiff and complete focused and now she seemed laid back. * what is with the change? Is she trying to pull something?* he thought. It wasn't long before Bulma took probably a 40 second lead. Vegeta literally put the pedal to the metal and sped up after her. He was determined to win this. If he didn't it meant hell all over again. Nope, he couldn't think of a reason he'd want that. His last problem was bad enough and he didn't need Bulma making it worse just when he got over it. The two hadn't even noticed that they had completely outraced the other three. Kaori, Gotu, and Chi Chi were no where to be seen behind them. Bulma looked back at Vegeta and smiled. "Come on Vegeta! Not going to lose to a girl are you?" she teased. She looked back ahead and saw a steep ramp. "Oh shit." She murmured. Vegeta saw it and said the same thing she did. He put the brakes on but Bulma kept going. She rode up the ramp and her ATV was soaring in the air. She smirked again and got up and did a Cordova. As she sat back down, she landed perfectly on the other side. She stopped, wondering if Vegeta would take the jump.
Just as she gave up hope on him and started out to the mall, she heard the engine roar to life and soon saw Vegeta's ATV in the air. He looked down and waved at her as if mocking her and as he landed he sped off. Bulma took a clue and followed him quickly. * How did he jump higher then me?* she thought. She saw lights ahead of them and knew immediately it was the mall. Vegeta smirked to himself. He was really going to win. Not that it was too surprising. (A/N same old proud, over confident Vegeta wouldn't you say? NO! more tomatoes!) Just about there! Just a little more! * um, is that a cat infront of me?* Vegeta thought. "oh crap."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the bus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaori was putting bandages around Vegeta's head. He only growled constantly. And most of it sounded like "stupid cat." He had won the race all right. But a cat had gotten right infront of him, made him take a sharp turn, and he stopped after he hit a tree. Luckily, nothing major had happened. He just had bruises and a few cuts. Launch shook her head. "a cat? Must've been a black cat." "actually it was white." Bulma said. Goku, who was sitting behind Vegeta, was cracking up. "it was kind of funny! Vegeta's downfall was a white cat!" he laughed up. Vegeta punched him in the face. "It was not funny Goku! And as soon as the whole place quits spinning, I'll kill you!" Vegeta sat down with a headache. Kaori laughed at him. "well I expect Vegeta to wake up in the middle of the night tomorrow yelling at the top of his lungs, 'No! the cat has come to get me!'" she said. Bulma nodded her head in agreement. "and now we have to get back and fix the Ravage Talon Black. And you know, the Black was mine." Bulma said. Vegeta's face lost all color. * oh great. Once we get back, she's going to force me to work. Just what I -Ow- I need to stop thinking! It hurts!* Vegeta winced as his thinking increased his headache.
Bulma shook her head. "and since you're out of commission, that means I have to do it myself." Bulma said. Vegeta stared at her. "you?" "yep. No one touches the Ravage Black except me. I was going to see how good you were by letting you try and fix it, but in the condition you're in, there ain't no way I'm letting you touch my Prized ATV. I'll fix it myself." Bulma stood up and went to the back of the bus with Chi Chi and 18. Kaori whistled. "and if you had fixed it, you would've had a spot in her favorites. Well, too bad that hard head of yours hit the tree!" she said. Vegeta glared, winced as his headache increased again, and then finally got some sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at Capsule Corp. (a.k.a. Head quarters! I'll shut up now) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vegeta was sitting in his /chair/ with a wet rag over his face. It felt good to be back. * I can't believe I made a fool of myself while riding that ATV though. -.-* he thought. "stupid cat!" he murmured. All of a sudden a pillow came and hit him. He looked up. Bulma, Chi Chi, 18, Yamcha, Krillin, and Dende were looking at him. "what?!" he growled. "keep an eye on our stuff. We're going out." 18 said. Vegeta stared at them. "but we just got back. And it's 3:00 in the morning." He murmured. "and why are you so worried? Don't worry, we'll be fine. And we'll be back soon. The party shouldn't last more then two hours. We should be back by sun up." Chi Chi said. "we'd ask you to go, but we don't think you'd be up to it. Plus Bulma ordered us to not ask you." Krillin said. Bulma kicked him in the head. "shut up Krillin. Well, see you Vegetal!" Bulma said. Yamcha put his arm around her and they walked out into the hall. Everyone else followed them and soon Vegeta was left all alone. He glared at the closed door. "Damn woman." He growled for no apparent reason.
After about thirty minutes, Vegeta officially decided he was bored beyond reason. He couldn't get to sleep, he had no one to talk to, or to fight with in that case, and nothing was on TV. He was so very bored. Bored, bored, bored. "oh yes, I'm very bored." He said aloud. He got up and went to his room. He was looking for anything to keep him occupied. "oh great... nothin." He growled again. He grabbed a jacket and walked out. He decided he'd take a look around. As he pressed the elevator down button, it opened and Bulma about ran into him. she looked up at him and glared. "mind getting out of my way?" she snapped. Vegeta moved aside. She walked past him and went back in her room. Vegeta raised an eyebrow and, for some reason, followed her. "why are you back so early?" he asked. He got a brush thrown at him. he ducked and looked over at her. Bulma was looking through her desk for something. "well, miss Hostility. Feel free to throw a knife at me the next time and I won't duck." He said sarcastically. He ducked from a stapler. "I was joking!" "Sorry, I've got bad aim. Have you seen a ring with a sapphire and six rubies on either side of it?" Bulma asked him. he shook his head.
"great," she growled. She dumped a small box and began separating small trinkets looking for the ring. "What's so special about the ring?" Vegeta asked. "Oh I don't know, maybe because it's expensive, or is it because it's irreplaceable, or maybe it's my favorite? Nah, can't be it." Bulma said sarcastically. Vegeta looked at confused as ever. "Uh, are you being sarcastic about that? Ow!" Bulma had thrown a boot at him and it hit its target: his head. He swore several times as Bulma continued throwing stuff at him. He continued ducking though. Luckily. First he dodged a pair of scissors, some more boots, a hairpin about the size of a chopstick, and finally the ring, which actually hit him in the head. "Ow... again. Uh... I found your ring!" he said. Bulma looked at him. "well, that's using your head Vegeta! Thanks." She took the ring. But as she was walking away, Vegeta grabbed her by the wrist. She looked at him.
"come back here for a minute." He asked. She walked back infront of him. Vegeta stared at the sight infront of him. In the light coming from the window, stood the most beautiful woman he had laid eyes upon. And for the record, that was a lot. Her blue hair more cerulean, and her eyes shone like sapphires with a light fixed just perfectly on them. Her smooth skin white and yet exotic in the light made her almost irresistible. Vegeta fought back an urge to just take her into his arms and hold her like that forever. The only thing holding him back was the fact that she was his boss. Neither the boss, nor the employee acknowledged that they were blushing deeply. Nor did they notice that second by second, they were falling closer to each other. Physically and emotionally. Bulma broke the moment though. She looked away form his intimidating gaze and cleared her throat. "um... Thank you Vegeta, for finding my ring. Now, um, I'll see you after the party." She walked towards the door leaving a broken down Vegeta. Before her hand reached the door knob she stopped and looked back at him. he looked so defeated. He was kind of. He was falling so easily for her and then she ruined it. Just his luck. She frowned and wanted slap herself silly. She smiled though.
"Vegeta," she said, he looked at her, "well, I think Yamcha is kind of ditching me. Seems to be caught up in all the other girls around him. Um, would you mind replacing him? Just for the night?" Vegeta's face would have lit up with joy had he not been the stubborn jack ass he was. "just for tonight... right?" he asked. Bulma nodded. "not for real?" "not uless you want it to be real." "what if I do?" Vegeta bit his tongue after saying that. He was /never/ this open on anything. Bulma giggled. "then I'd have to say the feeling was mutual. So, you'll be my date?" Vegeta smiled. "it's a date then." He finally said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ back with Ravage Blue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ravage: Oh... does that count as a cliff hanger?
Vegeta: I can't believe it... That was actually a good chapter.
Lycra: how dare you insult my master! I should kill you right now!
Vegeta: I'd like to see you try!
Ravage: okay, settle down children! Well, I hope Kaori wasn't too screwed. If you are and reading this, just send me something pink or ship me off to the Happy World when I'm sleeping. Oh yeah. Gotu is Vash T.S.'s (Sakiya the Stampede) little brother's character. He told his big sister that he wanted to be in here so I put him in here. Well, still in need of riders and mechanics. You know the drill. And this is a thanks to Kaori who put her life on the line on agreeing with me! (yep, me that insane! ()
To Kaori: THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! One for reviewing and two, for wanting to be in here. I 'preciate ya!
Ravage: well, I forgot somehting else too. I didn't do no stinking disclaimer. YAY!
Lycra, Vegeta: She owns nothing!
Ravage: (whimper) you two are so mean to me! For one instant I owned everything! WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay I'm over it. well, R&R. No tomatoes. Until next chapter... BYE BYE!
