Chapter 7
The Switch
-Lie can become truth-
Four hours after Vegeta and Maxine left for the lookout, Bulma was going over some blueprints when the mail arrived among them a yellow envelop with no address that just had her name on it, she opened it and retrieved some pictures. They were the ones Yamcha took in the park. They showed Vegeta and Maxine where she was holding his hand wiping his face and them entering and leaving her apartment together.
"What the heck! No, this can't be true. He wouldn't do that, not him" she said angry. "Men are the same no matter what stupid planet they come from! Oh Vegeta you son of a bitch you are so dead!!" she left her office and went home.
"Mom, have you seen Vegeta?" Bulma said when she saw her mother in the garden.
"Yes dear, he left hours ago after that woman phone call." Mrs. Briefs said.
"What? Do you know where he went?"
"No, I only heard they were going to have lunch together." Her mother said and Bulma was getting angrier by the moment.
"Mom what's wrong?" Trunks said while taking his jacket off.
"Your dad is having an affair." She said while giving him the pictures.
"You are kidding right." He said while looking at them. "Hey I know that girl! She's Terry fiancée, Maxine." Trunks said smiling.
"You know her." Bulma asked surprised.
"Yes, she used to hang here all the time with Terry, remember?"
"Yea, I knew that face looks familiar." She said.
"See?" Trunks said giving her the pictures.
"What? That your dad is seeing an eighteen year-old!"
"Actually she's twenty-one, and I know her mom she's not the kind of woman. She's going to get married with Terry soon."
"Well tell me what this look like? You know how your father is. Tell me I don't have any reasons to get suspicious." She said while she put the picture of Maxine cleaning Vegeta's mouth under her son nose.
"Uh…" Trunks said.
"That's what I thought; well I'll be waiting for him for an explanation when he came back from his 'date'!" she said stumping upstairs.
"Hey Trunks what's up with mom?" Bra asked when she saw her mother leave.
"She thinks that dad is having an affair with Maxine." He replied.
"You are kidding right?" Bra said.
"Nope."
"Aw man!" the young semi-saiya-jin said worried.
Later that night an intruder entered Maxine's apartment and after spending a few minutes inside left as mysteriously as it came.
Vegeta was driving back home after dropping off Maxine to her house. He was going over and over of the things that were happening a few months ago and none of them did make since to him, and Maxine explanations only confused him even more.
"Now I know how Kakorott feels 99.99% of the time." He said sighing, but couldn't help himself from having goose bumps when he thought that the dream demons and all the souls of Freddy's newly victims were in him, which made him doubt himself from being innocent in all this, but Maxine kept telling him that he wasn't the killer.
"I bet she knows something I don't but chose not to tell me." He said to himself while thinking how he had begun to suspect the young witch to be the real culprit. So to make sure she wasn't he checked her out when she was asleep one day using a revealing spell. Of course he didn't find what he was looking for but discovered that Maxine has a really unusual ki and wonder if it was because she was a witch or something else. Anyway he was relieved and the rest of the year was spent peacefully and they both learn a little bit about each other everyday, and when he asked her why she wanted to make him a warlock she answered him:
"I have the feeling that I won't be able to be any kind of help for you in this one, that maybe I am going to be a part of the problem."
"What make you think that?" he asked.
"Let's say it female instinct." She just told him.
Vegeta stopped brusquely in front of the CC building when he saw an angry Bulma waiting at the door waiting for him.
"You've been missing for a whole day! Where were you?" She barked at him more than asked.
"Since when do I have to tell you where I am going?" he said frowning while getting out of the car.
"You were with her this whole time! Aren't you?"
"Who?" Vegeta asked.
"Maxine!"
"How did you know?" he said surprised.
"I knew it! You cheating bastard! How could you?" she said angry.
"What are you talking about?" Vegeta said raising an eyebrow and Bulma threw the pictures at him he caught them and looked at them frowning.
"So who is she uh? Tell me?"
"She's…uh well…she's a friend"
"Yeah right, a friend my ass!"
"Since when it is a crime to have a friend, you got to believe me Bulma she's just helping me."
"Do what? Oh I see she's helping you having your groove back!"
"Uh?"
"You think that I am too old now aren't you? I know that saiya-jin stays younger longer I understand that you need someone younger to be with."
"This isn't true…"
"So explained yourself!"
"There is nothing to explain." Vegeta said who began to get angry
"Oh. Why not?"
"I am telling you I am not sleeping with her! She's just a friend helping out with some trouble I have, my word should be enough!"
"Oh that's fresh, because you say something I should immediately believe you! Who do you think you are?! Oh yeah you are the prince of all saiya-jin. Yeah, right a prince of a dead race! A prince without a kingdom. Should I remind you that without me my technology and my money you are NOTHING! You hear me nothing! You better put your act together mister or you'll regret it!" She yelled at him
"What?" Vegeta said clenching his fists and teeth.
"Dad?" Bra said worried above them on the window, Vegeta looked up and took a deep breath and went back to his car and drove away.
"That's right, go away! Return to you bitch you bastard I never want to see your face again!" She yelled at him.
"Mom? Daddy, don't leave!" Bra said sadly while watching the car disappearing in the horizon.
Maxine was at home cooking when someone knock at the door and went to open it.
"Vegeta-chan? Back already did you forget something?"
"No, I just got a fight with my wife." He said coming in.
"Why?" she asked.
"Someone sent some pictures of us and she automatically thinks that I am cheating." He said
"That's ridiculous!"
"Not for her, let's say she had her share of cheating man for a lifetime." Vegeta said sighing while dropping on the couch.
"Now I see why you were so cautious. I am sorry Vegeta-chan."
"It's not your fault"
"So what are you going to do?"
"Can I stay here for awhile?"
"Sure you always welcome to stay here, but I'll have to call Terry and let him know about you, he too is the jealous type." She said rolling her eyes.
"So do you have anything in mind to do?" Vegeta asked.
"Not really, I was just going to do some research as usual."
"We have to act fast Maxine, time is running out."
"I know. Anyway, I know some special herbs that will help you to stay awake. I'll brew some later on ok. Now let's eat the food is ready."
"Ok." Vegeta said while following her in the kitchen where she served him supper. After they ate they hit the books while trying to form a plan to stop Freddy.
"How could we stop him and make sure he won't find a way to come back?" Vegeta said.
"Well Freddy's soul is never at peace since he died. He always finds a way to come back more powerful than before." Maxine said while getting up from the kitchen table and went to brew her special tea because it was getting late.
"So he never made the trip to the netherworld." Vegeta said while looking through one of the magic books
"I guess so." Maxine said while getting cleaning some cups to serve the tea.
"I got it!" Vegeta exclaimed.
"What did you find?" She said while pouring some tea in his cup.
"We just have to make sure he goes to the otherworld and I know some people who'll make a pleasure to keep him there." Vegeta said.
"Oh, how are you going to send him to that place when we don't even know where he is?" She asked him.
"You still got the other part of his soul right?"
"Yes."
"I know just the spell that can help us find Freddy's soul host."
"Which spell?"
"The wholly spell, you know the spell the one that can put what that have been separated back together again."
"Oh yeah that could work! Wow V-chan I am impressed." She said smiling while taking a sip of tea than another before saying.
"That's odd."
"What is?" Vegeta asked her while emptying his cup.
"That tea doesn't have the same taste as before."
"Maybe you brewed the wrong one."
"No, it's the right one."
"Maybe it went bad."
"Must be I'll have to get some fresh herb tomorrow. Ok let's get back to work." She said while opening a book.
Five minutes later.
"I am sorry about all this Maxine. I know you came back to plan your wedding not hunting evil spirit."
"Don't worry about it; I don't think I could do it not when that menace named Freddy is lurking in the shadows."
"Is it me or its really hot in here?" Vegeta said while taking his jacket off.
"Now that you mention it, it is hot. What a crazy weather uh? I am going to prepare some lemonade to cool us down." She said going to the fridge. She made a big pot of cold lemonade, took a glass of it and gave Vegeta the pot and a glass but this on just drunk from the pot spilling half of the juice all over himself.
"Jeez you were that thirsty."
"I am burning up." Vegeta said sweating.
"Well you better go get a very cold shower, I think it'll help."
"Ok." Vegeta said and began to undress in his way to the bathroom. She picked up his clothes and went to the building basement to wash them. When she came back a half hour later Vegeta was still under the shower.
"Are you alright in here?" she said knocking in the door. "I am coming in." she said entering at the same time Vegeta was getting out under the shower naked. She looked at him mouth wide open before quickly turned her head away.
"Sorry." She said blushing.
"You earthling women are so weird you kept acting like you never saw a naked man before in your entire life before." Vegeta said rolling his eyes while grabbing a towel.
"I've seen naked men, but none of them were…"
"That well equipped, which mean that your fiancé's must be tiny." Vegeta said smirking; Maxine turned her head and said
"I was going to say none of them were one of my best friends father, and for your information my fiancé's isn't tiny and you know what they say size doesn't count." Maxine said offended while asking herself why she was so upset about this.
"I've heard it, but I say size plus skills are twice the fun." Vegeta said smirking.
"I don't believe I am having that kind of conversation with you. Here your clothes." She said handing them to him, but Vegeta grabbed them but didn't let go of her hands and said.
"I am wondering how long you'll last." He said seductively.
"I am not a white chicken, I am Creole remember?" she said proud.
"Oh? Now I am curious." He said while dragging her to him.
"What are you doing?" Maxine asked when he saw that the saiya-jin were invading her personal space and wondering what took over him to act that way.
"Experiencing." Vegeta replied while unfasten the buttons of her blouse leaving her in her bra while his right hand when down her skirt and between her legs moving her panty out of the way. Maxine had to fight the impulse of letting herself go and let him continue.
"Vegeta please, what about your…" she began and Vegeta shut her off by kissing her while carrying her out of the bathroom into the bedroom, dropped her on the bed get rid of his towel and finished undressing her.
"Stop, I can't." She said when the broke the kiss.
"Of course you can." Vegeta said while beginning to kiss her neck.
"No. I am going to get married soon and I don't want to hurt Terry."
"He won't if you don't tell him."
"I can't lie to him."
"You've been lying to him about who you really are."
"That's something else."
"I know that you are scared that he wouldn't understand and that you don't really trust him."
"That's not true. What's wrong with you tonight?"
"Nothing is wrong. I just really, really want you."
"We are friends, friends don't do friends." She said while trying the surge of pleasure that began to overflow her body.
"You want this as badly as I do, just let yourself go." He said while spreading her legs apart and pushed himself inside of her in began to move slowly than more and more rapidly. Maxine bite her lower lip until it bled to stop the need to scream in pleasure while placing her legs around his waist while moving against him as they both began to moan loudly in pleasure. The loud moaning and cracking of the bed woke up both the tenants of the apartments at their next in below them, but they ignored them when they hit the floor or to wall telling them to keep it down.
On the dark planet Aku was watching the scene in a crystal ball smiling as his plan was working perfectly.
"It is time" he said while chanting an incantation. Maxine and Vegeta didn't notice or feel a thing when the souls of the victims and the dream demons moved from Vegeta to her. The two were still at it until they reached climax together. Vegeta let himself felt at her side totally exhausted.
"I can say you were true to your words." Vegeta said panting.
"That'll teach you not to mess with a Creole woman." She said smiling while pulling the cover over them.
"You are so beautiful." Vegeta said while looking at her.
"Don't you have any idea what we just did? We should be ashamed of ourselves." She said seriously.
"Maybe later." Vegeta said while kissing her tenderly.
"Vegeta I…" she began to say before began to scream her lungs out in pain while holding her stomach.
"What's wrong?" He asked worried while pulling down the cover only to watch with horror her belly growing bigger and bigger then a hand wearing a razor glove burst out of it, follow by the entire full grown and dressed body of Freddy Krueger cover with blood.
"Hi daddy!" Freddy said grinning showing all his decayed teeth.
"Holy shit!" Vegeta said while jumping out of the bed.
