"Well....I'm afraid you won't be able to use the drug more than once a day. Truth be told I

really don't think it should be used more than once a week.", Bulma said.

"Why?", Rogue asked confused.

"Because, that pain that you just felt. Well it was the affects of your body cells returning to

normal. Since they were put to sleep so to speak, then after waking them up it's like your

body was bombarded with all sorts of feelings at one time and as a result there was that pain

you felt.", Bulma said.

"Then I guess.....I'm back where I started from.", she sighed.

"No not necessarily. I just don't want you over using the inhibitor till I can find a way to

counter the after affects of it.", she said.

"I see.", she sighed.

"Hey come on now Cher. No reason to be sad. One day a week is more than we had

before.", he smiled.

"I...I guess you're right.", she smiled a little.

"And don't you worry I'm going to find a way to fix the after affects so it's not harmful to

you.", Bulma smiled.

"Thank ya.", Rogue smiled sitting up slowly.

"So now what?", she asked.

"Cher we on vacation so let's enjoy ourselves.", Gambit smiled.

"I guess you're right.", she smiled.

"Listen...Mrs. Briefs...", Rogue said.

"Please call me Bulma.", she said.

"Bulma I know you said once a week. But could I chance it with twice this week?", she

asked.

"I suppose that would be alright but wait till tomorrow. I don't want you taking the inhibitor

back to back after one wears off. I want you to give your body time to strengthen itself back

up so when the after affects come they won't be so bad.", she said.

"Alright. Tomorrow it is then.", she said.

"Good den dat give Gambit time to check out the local hot spots and see where he might be

taking you Cher.", he smiled at her.

"Oh Gambit, you can be sweet when you wanna be.", Rogue teased.

"Aww Cher Gambit always sweet. But he can be more sweet if you like.", he smirked.

She blushed a little.

"Gambit go on you ole swamp rat.", she laughed lightly.

"Heh. So tell me where are all of the nice places to take sweet cherie's?", he asked with a

charming smile.

"Hmm, well, there's Krystal Falls, or the Fun Park if you're in a mood for fun and games,

uhm sometimes walking along the streets of Japan at dusk can be nice. Just the two of you

together holding hands as the sun sets along the horizon going down on the two of you and

he lifts you in his arms and flies away with you to some beautiful secluded mountain side

spot where you can watch the rest of that beautiful sunset all....", her dreams were cut short

as a deep gruff voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Daydreaming again onna.", Vegeta scoffed.

"Oh its you...", she groaned.

"Trust me it's no picnic for me either.", he smirked.

"You should be so lucky.", she stated.

"Uhm we'll just leave you two alone.", Rouge smiled pulling on her gloves then grabbing

Gambits arms and pulling him out behind her.

"Hah, woman it is you who should be so lucky.", he smirked.

"Oh...::she smirked slyly something forming in her head:: So you're trying to tell me that I

should be honored to have you as my mate and sleep with you and go places with you and

what not.", she stated.

"Yes.", he said glaring at her slightly trying to figure out what she was up to.

"Then tonight I shall not be so lucky as to grace your bedside with my presence. For this

lowly peasant of a woman shall remain here in her lab all night once again trying to solve

the problems of others.", she said with a mock sigh.

"GRR!! What?! Onna no way in HFIL are you staying out here another night!", he frowned.

"Oh so you admit that it is you who are the lucky one to have my presence.", she grinned

having trapped him in his own words.

"Wha...I never...said...That.", he frowned and folded his arms across his chest grumbling

lowly over being such a baka as to walk right into that.

"It's okay I love you anyway.", she teased and then walked past him wrapped him on his but

with her hand grinned and headed out the door to the kitchen for a little something to eat

before she went back to work.

"Gnn! Woman you're going to pay for that later.", he stated.

"We shall see won't we.", she smiled.

"Hmph. Indeed.", he stated and headed off to the house with her.



"So Cher what you wanna do first? Gambit at your service.", he smiled.

"That walking thing sounded kinda nice.", she smiled.

"Then walking we shall.", he smiled back getting an idea in his head.

He walked with her back up the sidewalk. Her head rested on the shoulder of his coat as they

continued their nice stroll up the sidewalk. But as they were walking they passed a pastry

shop and the scents wafting from them hit her nose like a ton of bricks. Her stomach

immediately started growling.

"Hehe. Ma cherie hungry huh. Come madame. Let Gambit buy sweets for his sweet.",

Gambit smiled.

"Oh Gambit.", she chuckled.

They turned off and walked up to the bakery window. Then headed in through the door.

"Konnichiwa.", the clerk at the counter said.

"Corneshewa.", Gambit said.

"Oh Gambit your butchering the word.", Rogue teased.

"How may I help you?",the clerk lady smiled.

"Everything smells so good. I don't suppose you have some mini bread loafs and maybe

some cookies. And hmm those donuts look delicious. And what are these over here?", she

asked.

"Those are called crullers.", she smiled.

"They look good. Alright give me one o each. ::smiles:: Gambit ain't you gone get

something?", Rouge asked.

"Mon dieu? Cher you planning on eating all dat alone?", Gambit asked shocked.

"Hehe. I can't help it....For some reason I'm extra hungry right now.", she smiled.

"Gambit hope he got enough money for all dat.", he said pulling out his wallet.

"Oh...Ah'm sorry Gambit...I didn't realize...If you don't have enough don't worry about it.",

she said.

"No no....Ma cherie wants dat. Den Gambit get it for her.", he smiled.

"Oh Remy you are so sweet.", she smiled and hugged him.

"Heh. Gambit be more sweet if he get dis all da time.", he smirked.

"You ole swamp rat.", she chuckled.

"Gambit want to know how much for all dat miss?", he asked.

"That will be 14,000 yen.", she said.

"Uh....how much dat be in American money?", he asked.

"American money? No no no......yen.", she said.

"Uh Gambit I think we need to find some place to exchange yur money for some more

traditional currency.", Rouge said.

"Gambit tink you be right cher.", he said.

"Uhm we'll be back in a bit miss.", she smiled and pulled him out with her out of the shop.

"Let's go back to Capsule corp. Remy and ask Bulma where the nearest bank is.", she said.

"Alright cher.", he said and they headed back to capsule corp.



15 minutes later:

They arrived back at Capsule Corp:

"Bulma?", she called flying headed back over to the lab.

"Ms. Bulma!", she called out again.

Bulma heard her name being called and tried to break free from Vegeta's hold.

"You know Vegeta if you don't let me go to go and see what she wants she's going to come

in here and find us together.", she smiled.

"Your point being.", he frowned.

"That if you don't let me go and see what she wants we won't get to finish this.", she

smiled.

"Fine onna go but you'd better get right back here when she's done.", he stated.

Bulma smiled and zipped up her blouse pulled back on her skirt and ran out of the kitchen

back outside headed to the lab.

"Mrs. Lebeau?", she called.

"Oh there ya are.", she said landing in front of her.

"Ahm sawry to disturb you but I was wond'rin'. Do you know where we can find a bank?",

she asked.

"A bank? What for?", Bulma asked.

"Well...Remy was gonna buy me somethin' ta eat but they won't take american money.", she

said.

"Oh no problem. I tell you what. Just tell him to give me the money and I'll give you a

credit card ta use. It's much simpler. And whatever the amount is I can get it.", she smiled.

"Oh that would be great. Hold on I'll be right back.", she said and flew off back to the main

gate where she found Gambit leaning against a tree playing with his cards.

"Gambit!", she called.

"Right here chere.",he said.

"Give me yer money. Mrs. Briefs is gonna give us a credit card ta use so we don't have to

worry bout figurin' out the expense amount fer nuthin'.", she said.

"Alright Cher. While you at it see if she knows a place we can get a jet refueled at without a

lot of questions.", he said.

"Oh fer the blackbird Remy.", she said.

He nodded his head.

Gambit gave her most of the money he had and then watched as she flew off headed back

near the lab where Bulma was waiting.

Bulma waved up to her as she came flying down.

"Alright here's the money.", she said.

"And here's the credit card.", she smiled.

"Thank ya but I was wonderin' o' one more thing.", she said.

"Sure name it.", Bulma smiled.

"Well. Do you know where we could find a place that refuels jets without loads a

questions?", she asked.

"Huh?", she asked.

"I need ta know.", she said.

"Sure but what do you need jet fuel for?", she asked.

"Well see it's kinda a long story but ta make it short. Gambit followed me all the way here

in the jet and well its running close ta empty. We not gonna be able to make it back home

unless we can get her refueled again.", she said.

"I don't suppose you could just bring your jet here?", Bulma asked.

"Maybe why?", she asked.

"Well one I'd like to see it. And two. If you want her refueled your gonna have to get her

out here.", Bulma said.

"You mean ya'll gots jet fuel pumps here?", she asked.

"Something like that. See what with me and my family being in the capsule corp business

we also make lots of machines that require fuel mostly flying and well the only way to keep

em up and running is to keep them fueled up. I have a personal storage pump not to far from

here. And if you can get your plane out here we can find a way to capsulize it and transport

it there.", she said.

"Alright then. I don't understand ever'thing you just said but I'll tell Remy so we can get it

brought back here.", she said.

"Alright.", Bulma smiled then turned to head back inside.

"Oh Mrs. Bulma.", she said.

"Yes.", she smiled.

"Thank you for ever'thing you doing for meh.", she smiled.

"My pleasure. I love a good challenge and this is by far the most exciting challenge I've had

in a while.", she smiled.

They both smiled at each other then parted company.

When Bulma turned back around to head back inside she had her head in the clouds so to speak.

Her mind thinking over these two strangers and over this woman. How fascinating it all was to

her. So much so she didn't notice a certain pointy haired saiyan standing in the doorway with his

arms folded waiting on her return. He just stood there and when she didn't slow her decent he

smirked and opened his arms. She was close enough now he could hear her mumbling some

things to herself about jets and planes and fuel and engines and experiments. He smirked for in

mere moments because she was not paying attention to where she was heading she would be

engulfed in his grasp. But he was in for the shock of his life when as she was walking she

suddenly veered off as if in a trance headed towards her lab. Still babbling on and on about

genes and microscopic organisms now. He was shocked she was going the wrong way. He

quickly shook it off before he felt like a bigger idiot than he already had. He frowned and flew

off then faded and reappeared in front of her lab door silently. He smirked no way was she

getting away this time and for making him wait she was going to have to pay a dear price for that.

She kept walking and before she knew what happened she bumped smack dab into something

hard and would have fallen over backwards had two strong arms not ensnared her.

O.o

"Vegeta?", she questioned shocked.

"Yes onna. And for making me wait there is a price.", he stated sternly.

"Wait for wha....", suddenly hit by realization.

"Oh uhm..haha...oh vegeta...please you didn't really think I forgot about you did you.", she said

her mind already whirling with a good story to give him that hopefully he'll believe.

"Oh really....then why are you out here in this lab instead of in the kitchen?", he questioned eying

her cautiously to see what kind of lie she would give him.

"For your information I was coming to close down a few things and then head back to the

kitchen. And another thing why do you have to say it like that...Like the kitchen is where I

belong or something? I know what you're getting at you're not fooling me.", she feigned a

frown.

"Woman please. Your lies are more transparent than those things you call lingerie.", he laughed.

"Why you...I oughta..", is cut off.

"You ought to what?", he smirked.

She was speechless for a moment. And that was long enough for Vegeta to hoist her up over his

shoulder and fly up to their bedroom.

"Gah you barbarian put me down!", she fumed.

"Certainly.", he smiled when they entered their bedroom and threw her down on the bed.

She landed in a huff.

"Grrr.....VEGETA I Could so strangle YOU!", she frowned and jumped at him.

He only smiled and stepped to the side watching her hitting the floor with a thud.

"Ohhh...baka That hurt!", she frowned and picked herself up off the floor dusting herself off.

"That will teach you to lie to your prince.", he smirked.

"Hah!", she frowned.

"Oh you still haven't learned your lesson.", he smirked.

"Like you could teach me anything.", she frowned and blew a strand of hair out of her face.

He was becoming quite turned on by her tirade and was about to teach her a lesson she would

never forget.
