"Well Gambit shall leave you two belles to your shopping. And Gambit shall get down to his

own business.", he smiled.

"See you tonight Remy.", she smiled.

"Au Chante mon amour.", he smiled and bowed then headed off inside of the ship to get some

things together.

"Ain't he just the sweetest thang sometimes.", she smiled.

"You really love him don't you.", Bulma smiled.

"Yes ah do.", she smiled.

"Yeah I know how that is. ::smiles:: Nothing like loving the one you with to make a girl feel all

bubbly

inside.", ::grins::

"Yeah I know exactly what ya'll mean.", she smiled.

Bulma climbed in the car and Rogue climbed in on the other side of her.

"So...you mind if I ask how you two met?", she questioned.

"Sure ya'll can ask. Heh. ::smiles:: It's kinda a complicated and strange story if you know what I

mean.", she said.

"Sure I know all about those.", she smiled.

"Really. Make we can swap stories then.", Rouge smiled.

"Fine by me. But please tell me yours first.", she smiled.

"Alright. Well see back over in the states I went to this school. Well I'm still at the school but

now I help out the other kids there like me.", she said.

"Oh.", she said.

"Yes. It's called Xavier's Institute for the Gifted. We were sorta on opsite sides of the coin so to

speak. I was the good one and he was the bad one.", she said.

"This sounds so familiar. But please keep going.", she smiled.

"Well. I nitially met Remy when we were going up a band of bad mutants under the control of

magneto. Who's a powerful mutant. At any rate, I was sneaking off round the corner to try and

catch one of em in a surprise attack. And the next thing ah know ah was staring face to face in

the most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen. ::blushes and grins::. And the way he spoke without saying

a word. He gave me a gentle smiled, bowed then smirked and ran off leaving me standing there

holding a card in my hand. That swamprat. I could have killed him for that.", she said.

"Huh?", bulma said stunned.

"It's his power he uses his mutant abilites to transfer power into other objects ta blow em up.

Course when we met again later on down the line he 'pologized fer that. Said he had to do it so

ole buckethead wouldn't get no ideas. Thinkin' you know that he was going fer the otha team.",

she said.

"Wait buckethead? Who's that?", she asked.

"That would be Magneto.", she stated.

"Alright I see. Please go on.", she said.

"So anyways, I was still a bit ticked off with him fer that. Didn' really balieve him none. But still

he was cute. So I thought what the heck I could always drain him if he tried anything like that

again.", she smiled.

"Okay. So what happened after the initial meeting?", she questioned.

"Well the next thing I knew he started popping up all over tha place like a fox in a hen house.",

she chuckled.

"Heh i know that feeling.", Bulma grinned.

"Yer story must be quite interesting yerself.", she smiled.

"Heh. It might be I'll tell you of mines when you're done with yours.", she smiled.

"Well alright then. Lemme finish so I can hear yers.", she smiled.

Bulma grinned and continued to listen. She could see the vast city stores coming into view they

were almost there.

"Well what happened next through meh for a loop. I don't know how he did it. But that ole

swamprat found out my birthday. He found out what kinda flowers I like. What kinda candy I

loved. What my favorite type of music was and a bit more. I was shocked.", she said.

"What did he do?" Bulma asked.

"That swamprat. Through me a surprise party for two.", she smiled.

"Oh I see please continue.", Bulma grinned eagerly awaiting the rest.

"Well I came home from school and the next thing I knew there was this black envelope trimmed

in gold lying on mah bed.", she said.

"I opened it and inside read Pour ma Chere on her 18th birthday. Votre Amour Remy LeBeau.

And placed neatly inside of the envelope were small rose petals and the Queen of Hearts card.",

she smiled.

"Oh?", she said.

"Yes Remy has this kinda thing about his card deck. I'd say it was almost spiritual to 'im. But

it's like this if he give you a card from his deck it means something. He told me later I was his

Queen and he was mah King. I think he must have had me blushin all day and night. Cause

ever'one kept askin meh was ah sick.", she laughed lightly.

Bulma laughed along with her at the entire thought.

"I can see that.", she smiled.

"Well at any rate. After that first date. Things continued on from there getting progressively

better and better before they got worse and worse leading me to where ah am now.", she stated.

"What do you mean?", she asked.

"Well I woke up one day with the realization that I could never give Remy all the things he

should have. I wanted him to be able to touch meh without getting hurt. But something told me

that might have been impossible and the best thing for meh ta do was just let him go. No matter

how cruel I treated him he only continued to stay. It was by sheer luck I found yer name in one

of Hanks Science Weekly's. So i figured I exhausted ever'one over there in America why not try

somewhere new. And here I am. Only he wasn't supposed to follow meh. But he did. And tho

I was angry with him at first. Now...::smiled as she could feel the tears trying to well up in her

eyes:: I'm glad he did.", she smiled.

"Well I'm glad he did too. You two make a wonderful couple. I've never seen two people more

right for each other.", Bulma smiled.

"Really...Ya'll really thank so.", she said.

"Of course. You don't even have to ask such a thing.", she stated.

"Yeah yer probably right.", smiles.

"I know I'm right.", she laughed.

"Of course.", she laughed with her.

"Alright here we are.", Bulma said pulling in front of a huge department store.

"Whoa. This is bout as huge as some of the ones back home. But uhm...I don't think I got the

money for all of this here.", she said.

"Don't worry about it. Consider it a gift from me to you.", Bulma smiled.

"Oh?", she said.

"Yes. ::smiles:: With Chichi always being so far out in the mountains I don't really get to see her

to much. And well...mom's mom. So it's nice to have someone else around to talk to if you

know what I mean.", she smiled.

"Yeah that's for sure. I know exactly what ya mean.", she smiled.

"Alright now let's go and get you a couple of killer outfits." Bulma smiled.

"I'm right with you.", she smiled.

"So keep talking. What happened after that?", she smiled.

"Well not to much else after that. We were on opposite sides of the law good and evil so to

speak he found his way over to me and hasn't looked back yet. He'd walk through hell fer meh.

And I'd do the same fer him.", she smiled.

"Sounds wonderful." she grinned.

"It is but enough talk bout me. I wanna hear how you and Mr. Gruff got together." she smiled.

"Heh Gruff is an understatement.", she smiled.

"Oh?", she said.

"Yeah. Vegeta's bout as hot headed as they come. When I met him the only thing he wanted to

do was destroy my planet take over the universe and get revenge against frieza. Well that was

before Goku killed frieza. Which means that now he wants revenge against Goku for Killing

frieza when he should have been the one to do it.", Bulma said.

"Wait hold own one minute. Ya'll talkin' circles round meh. Slow it down a bit and start from

tha behginnin'.", Rouge said.

Bulma chuckled. "Oh sorry. I guess with something like that you would think they would have

showed it all over the world.", she said.

"Showed what exactly. Ya'll losin' meh. Could we try this again?", Rogue asked.

"Yes sorry. Well see Goku is, well first of all do you believe in aliens. I mean little green men

the whole bit?", she asked.

"Now that i do believe in. I've met a couple maself. But that's a story for another time.", she

smiled.

"Alright then mines first and we can swap a few more later.", Bulma smiled.

"Sounds like a plan ta me.", she smiled.

"So anyway, Vegeta is like the prince of this dead race of his. Their called Saiyans. Originally

they have these what look like monkey tails and they transform into Giant Oozaru or monkeys

and wreak havoc. So anyway, what happened was he came here looking for a fight but Goku

fixed him...well actually ::laughs lightly:: The cowardly Yajirobe fixed him. He cut off his tail

then made a mad dash for it and disappeared for a while. At any rate Vegeta was left without his

tail which meant he had to change back into his human looking form. Goku finished beating him

up and that was that. Goku let him live another day to fight. And he came back looking for a

fight but unfortunately ended up only trying to ally himself with us to defeat Frieza. Are you

with me so far?", she asked.

"Yes....but how all this lead up to ya'll getting tagether ah'm stunned.", she said.

"Oh I'm getting to that. It's kinda a long story I should have warned you.", she smiled.

"That's alright. I've got time. Matter a fact. I kinda like this dress here. I'll go in the room and

try it on you can finish talking and then we can pause and you can give me your opinion.", Rouge

stated.

"Fine by me.", she smiled.

"So go on, please continue it was getting intrestin'.", Rogue said.

"Alright, well see here's the rest. Here's what happened. Frieza the bad guy killed one of my

and Goku's best friends. Krillen. And when he did that. Goku just lost it. He went into what

they call Super Saiyan mode. Gold hair Teal eyes all that stuff. He sent everyone off the planet.

And straight to Earth. He had us making wishes for him back on Earth. See here's how it

happened. First he had me wish back all the people Frieza killed and then he had me wish them

to Earth. That included Vegeta. Cause well he got killed by frieza. He was from what Goku told

me stunned to see Goku ascend to Super Saiyan but pleased that it was one of his race to destroy

frieza. However, not pleased that it wasn't him the one doing it. So at any rate he ended up being

wished to earth as well. Me I take no...", is cut off.

"'Scuse meh fer cuttin' ya off there Bulma but ahm commin' out.", she said.

"Alright let's see it.", Bulma said.

Just then Rogue steps out of the dressing room wearing a long black gown. It had a dashing

long split up the center stopping mere inches below her abdomen. It was off the shoulder with a

clear mesh and long sleeves that fitted to her arms. She had a pair of matching wrist length

mesh gloves. It slunk in deeply at the waist then flared out around her hips and flowed down

beautifully around her.

"Well...ahm kinda nervous here. What's yer honest opinion?", she asked.

"It's gorgeous. He'll love it. But pick out something else so you'll have a couple of changes.",

Bulma smiled.

"Glad you like it. And thank ya I will.", she smiled and headed back into the dressing room to

remove the outfit.

"Okay you were saying something about you taking no something before I interrupted ya.", she

said.

"Oh yes. Well as I was saying I take no stuff off no one. And at the time. I actually thought he

was kinda cute for a big gruff guy. So I invited him to stay at Capsule Corp. Along with

everyone else. At least till we wished the planet back and everything.", she said.

"Okay you keep sayin' wishin' with these dragon balls? What are they?", she asked.

"Oh sorry. Well the dragon balls are essentially....well, they were created by the Nameks. Who

are an alien race. One of them sorta watches over the Earth. So he's looked upon as a Kami if

you will. And well Kami is like well is god. So essentially. He created the balls to fix anything

that might go wrong that shouldn't. Or rather to allow us to fix it. Anyway, they're like an

extension of the Nameks. If an elder Namek should die or Kami should die before he passes on

the power of the dragon balls to the next Namekian then the balls power will die with them and

they will essentially be nothing more than useless rocks.", she said.

"Ahlright I think I'm with ya now. Go on.", she said.

Rogue then came walking out and started examining some more clothing. She picked out several

outfits before returning to the dressing room with them.

"Well after we wished the others back from King Kai's Planet. That's another story in itself so

don't worry over that part to much.", she said.

"Okay.", she said though the door.

"Well anyway one of the guys that came back was my boyfriend or rather exboyfriend now.

Anyway, his name is Yamucha. I was so happy to see him I almost started crying.", she smiled.

But ofcourse had I know what the little b...uhm snake was up to I would have left him there to

rot.", she said.

"Hmm? Ya'll just lost meh again.", she said.

"Hold on I'm gonna find you.", she smiled.

"Okay.", she smiled.
