~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*I wanna know
Who ever told you I was letting go*~

Bulma seated herself at the table, and the rest of the rooms occupants followed suit. Doctor Briefs just eyed the new couple wearily, while Mrs. Briefs just smiled a dopey little smile. Goku sat next to Bulma, and placed a hand on her leg, as if to reassure her. She gave him a quick smile, before turning once more to her waiting parents.

"Well, you see, it all started a few months ago when Vegeta and I got into a fight...." She began, before casting one last look to Goku, who squeezed her leg sympathetically. She continued to relate the story of her life over the past few months, must to the horror of her mother, and the obvious disgust of her father. She saw the outraged look in his eyes, and stopped, thinking it was her he was upset with, before he reassured her that he was in no way mad at her, that there was nothing she could have done to prevent Vegeta's actions. They sat there for several hours, talking, discussing forms of counseling, and such, before Bulma stood from the table.

"I think I'm going to head back to bed now, I'm still a little worn out." She told them, before casting a devious smirk to Goku.

"Um, I'll just um, make sure you get there safe...Um...yeah." He replied, before jumping from the table, and taking Bulma into his muscular arms. "Excuse us." Goku told her parents, before exiting the room.

Mr. and Mrs. Briefs sat there for a moment, listening to the sound of their daughter giggling as the gentle Saiyan carried her up the stairs.

"Well dear, what do you think about her taste in men now?" Bulma's mother asked her husband merrily, before giving him a quick wink, and turning back to her cooking.

~*Of the only joy that I have ever known
Girl, they're lying*~

"You know I gave up on trying to understand either of you a long time ago. I just wish there was something I could do for her. I can't believe I didn't notice this was going on, right here in my own home. I never thought something like that could happen, especially not to my little girl..." He let his voice trail off at the end, before picking his paper up from the table, and attempting to continue reading, as if nothing had ever happened.

He failed...miserably.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Vegeta sat atop a rocky plateau, his chin resting on his knee. His eyes had a rather glazed look to them, and he looked as though even a hurricane couldn't have stirred him.

"Damn damn damn damn damn! Damn Kakarot! Damn him and damn that blasted woman!" He screamed aloud suddenly, before returning to his former position. He had been like that ever since the episode at Capsule Corp. Unmoving, unblinking, uncaring. The only time he had moved, had been to retrieve some clothes from the gravity chamber early the previous morning. When he had peeked through HIS woman's window, there she had been, lying in bed, arms and legs entwined with those of the third class moron. His initial reaction had been to blast them both to hell, but he decided against it upon reminding himself that his time would come. And then, Kakarot would be sorry that he had ever laid his eyes upon the the Prince of the Saiyans

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*Just look around
And all of the people that we used to know*~

Chichi sat in her modest kitchen, in her modest home in the woods. (say that three times fast) She was so zoned out, that she completely forgot to remind Gohan to study, so the boy had taken to the sky, for once in his life, acting like the child that he was. She sighed once, before rising from her chair, stretching, and walking to the cramped bathroom. She drew a hot bath, removed her clothes, and hopped into the steaming water, hoping to wash away the previous days events.

She too, failed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bulma lie next to the sleeping Saiyan. She stared up at the wall, a contented smile on her face. She turned to face the man next to her, only to find that he too, was no longer sleeping. Instead, he was staring at her, the look on his face a mix between wonder and amusement.

~*Have just given up, they wanna let it go
But we're still trying*~

"What? What'd I do?" She asked him. He just continued to stare at her, as if trying to memorize every little detail of her face. "Goku? Are you ok? You're starting to freak me out here." She told him, before leaning in so that their faces were a mere couple of inches apart. He leaned in suddenly, and captured her lips with his own, before leaning back again to look at her.

"You know what amazes me?" He asked her, before pulling her down so that her head was resting against his broad chest.

"And what might that be?" She replied, before giving a contented sigh, and snuggling even closer to him.

"How you get even more beautiful every time I look at you." He told her, before reaching a hand up to stroke her Aqua hair

"You're just saying that so you can get laid." She told him jokingly, before turning her head to look at him. Surprised at the hurt look that played across his handsome features. "What? You were serious?"

"Yes, I'm serious. You do. Sex isn't everything in the world to me, you know. For instance, if we don't get outta this bed, then I'm never gonna get any training done, and I'm sure that you're never gonna get caught up with all the work you've missed." He told her, before sitting up, and pulling her into his lap.

~*So you should know this love we share was never made to die
I'm glad we're on this one way street just you and I
Just you and I*~

"Oh Kami! I hadn't even thought about work. I can see now that you're gonna be a distraction. A VERY welcome distraction, but a distraction none the less. Oh well, who am I kidding. Goku, feel free to distract me anytime. No, seriously, anytime." She told him, before adding a quick wink, and jumping from his lap. She walked across the room to her closet, and pulled out her clothes for the day. A tight baby blue t shirt, and a pair of blue jeans. She dressed quickly, and threw her white lab coat on, before turning back to look at Goku, who was still seated on the bed, completely naked, except for the thin sheet lying across his lap.

45 minutes later, Bulma was standing next to the bed, once again pulling on her hastily discarded clothes. "You do realize we're never gonna get anything done at this rate, right?" She asked him, before leaning in to plant a quick kiss on his cheek, and walking hastily to the door. She was out the door, and about to close it behind her, when she heard Goku's voice call her name.

"Hey, Bulma." He called to her, and when she turned around, her mouth dropped open a full six inches. There stood Goku, completely in the nude. "Made ya look." He told her calmly, before turning away from her, and heading into the spacious bathroom.

She stood there for a moment, before turning around as if in a daze, and walking from the room, a small smirk pulling at the corner of her mouth.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*I'm never gonna say goodbye
'Cuz I never wanna see you cry
I swore to you my love would remain*~

Vegeta stood from his resting place, and stretched his back. A devilish smirk playing across his dark features. "So, Kakarot wants to play? So be it." He said aloud, before taking to the air, in the opposite direction of Capsule Corp.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bulma seated herself at the desk in front of her, and gave a little smile to her father who was working on the opposite side of the room. "Wow, it's really good to be back, daddy." she told the older man, before taking the top form from one of the stacks in front of her, and setting to work, a large smile spread across her face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*And I swear it all over again and I
I'm never gonna treat you bad
'Cuz I never wanna see you sad*~

Goku looked around the gravity room in complete awe. "Wow...no wonder Vegeta spent so much time in here! This thing's HUGE!" He exclaimed, before walking to the controls, and punching a few buttons to begin the gravity simulation.

The machine whirled to life, causing him to jump a bit, before taking to the air, and firing a blast at one of the robots that hovered there. It shot the blast back at him, and he narrowly managed to dodge it. The blast bounced off of yet another robot, before Goku finally managed to fall into a rhythm of kicks, blocks, and punches. Sometime later, Bulma's face came over the screen, to let him know that dinner was ready. He eagerly shut off the machine, and jogged to the main building of Capsule Corp, where Bulma, and a large table full of food awaited him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bulma stood at the sink, absentmindedly staring out the window, and attempting to was dishes at the same time. She was doing fine, until her hand ran smack into a large butcher knife that someone had thrown into the sink with the other dishes.

"Owowow! Damn! That hurt!" She screamed, clutching her injured, and now bleeding hand.

"Huh? What happened? What hurt?" Goku exclaimed as he ran into the room, knocking over a potted plant, and two chairs in the process.

"Huh? Oh, I just cut myself. Nothing major. Could you just hand me that first aid kit over there?" She asked him, before pointing to a small white box hanging on the wall behind him.

~*I swore to share your joy and your pain
And I swear it all over again
All over again*~

"Yeah, hang on. Hey, that's a lot of blood, you sure you don't want me to take a look at it?" He asked her after handing her the first aid kit.

"Nah, this is nothing, I've had paper cuts worse than this." She joked, but the pained look in her eyes didn't go unnoticed.

"Why do I get the very bad feeling that you're lying to me?" He asked her, before taking her hand in his, and proceeding to examine it "Bulma! You should know better than that! This isn't a scratch and you know it!" He reprimanded her, but stopped when he noticed tears well up in her eyes.

"I'm sorry." she replied softly, before turning her head to look away from him.

"For what? You just should've told me, that's all...Tell ya what, hop up on the counter, and I'll get ya fixed up in no time." He told her, before lifting her small form into his arms, and depositing her onto the kitchen counter.

He wrapped a towel around her bleeding hand, and applied pressure to it, making the bleeding stop. Then, he poured some peroxide into the wound, causing her to wince a bit.

"Ya know, my parents always told me this stuff doesn't hurt...But I'll be damned...It DOES hurt." she mumbled to him, before casting him a weak smile, and leaning her head back to rest on the cabinets behind her.

~*'Cuz in your eyes
I see a love that burns eternally
And if you see how beautiful you are to me
You'll know I'm not lying*~

He finished wrapping some gauze around her hand, then kissed it gently, before taking her into his arms once more. "There now, see, that wasn't so bad. Why don't you go sit down and watch TV? I'll finish up in here." He told her, before sitting her down on the couch. She just stared at him for a moment, before bursting into a fit of giggles. "What? What's so funny?" He asked her, genuinely confused.

"I just *gasp* can't *giggle* imagine *cough* you *giggle* doing dishes!" She finally managed to choke out, much to the bewilderment of Goku.

"I'll have you know that I ALWAYS do dishes...Chichi made me...but come to think of it, I don't mind doing them for you, weird, huh?" He asked her, before exiting the room, leaving a still giggling Bulma behind.

"Saiyans! And I thought MEN where hard to understand! But, Saiyan men are impossible!" She said to herself, before throwing up her hands, as if to signal defeat.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Chichi finally managed to snap back into reality, when she heard an insistent banging on her front door. She quickly stood from the now ice-cold bath, and threw on her robe, before jogging to the door, and gasping aloud when she saw who stood there.

"Woman, I have a proposition for you, one that I'm sure you'll find to your liking. I'm sure you wish to get your mate back, as I do mine, and If you'll let me in for a moment, then I'll tell you exactly how we're going to do it." With that, Vegeta walked through the doorway to the small house in the woods, the devilish smirk still present on his lips...

~*I swore to share your joy and your pain
And I swear it all over again*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Uh oh? What's Vegeta got up his sleeve? Can Goku successfully wash the dishes? And will Chichi ever snap back to reality? All this and much more on the next exciting chapter of "Heroes"!!!
