Chapter 8
Upon entering the kitchen I noticed two fiery glares and a stupid man eating ice cream....
I turned my head vaguely and looked at the three of them but kept my words to myself and headed out of the kitchen when I was instantly stopped by none other than- "Vegeta may I have a word with you?" Mrs. Briefs put her hands on her hips.
I rolled my eyes and snorted at her, "why?" I asked her; "Because it's important!" she continued to stare at me, "Like anything you say is important." I began to chuckle, apparently she didn't find the conversation of ours amusing.
"Vegeta I-"she began but I cut her off by saying, "whatever, make it quick so I don't have to listen to your blabbering mouth anymore." I snapped on her and I followed her into the hall way.
"oooooooooh Vegeta's in trouble" Goku said like a little kid watching his friend get in trouble for saying something bad. Goku continued to consume all the ice cream, while Bulma searched the freezer for some.
"Hey, I could of sworn I bought some strawberry ice cream." She thought out loud and Goku just gulped, he had eaten all of it.
"Now Vegeta," Mrs. Briefs whispered, "Why did you take Bulma's diary?" She asked with a stern look, you know, the "look" you mother may give you. Vegeta just looked at her as if she were thin air.
"Don't you know that book is full of Bulma's inner most secrets?" She asked starting not to whisper anymore. Vegeta still had the same look but thought, "secrets? Bulma's feelings are all written down?! No wonder she didn't want me looking!"
"Well I don't care." Vegeta simply, calmly said and started walking away.
"You should care! Wonder if someone read your secrets!" she shouted.
Vegeta said, without turning around, "I don't have any secrets."
"Well I know your secret, it's clearly obvious." She grinned and crossed her arms.
Vegeta frozen dead in his tracks and quickly turned around, "You don't know anything."
"Oh yeah, well I know your biggest secret, your in lo-" Suddenly she felt a strong hand over her mouth, "Shut up." Vegeta said darkly and walked away yet again and this time Mrs. Briefs didn't say a word.
"MOM!" Bulma screamed and Mrs. Briefs ran to the kitchen.
Vegeta, trying for once to meditate outside, had a hard time cause all he heard were Bulma and Goku yelling about ice cream and Mrs. Briefs trying to get them to shut up. "I don't know how the namek does this." Vegeta thought in frustration.

Long days turned into long sleepless nights which turned into life barring weeks. This week was one of the hottest weeks ever to be recorded and was to set the record.
Except one thing..................the air conditioning overloaded and malfunctioned. So the Capsule Corp residence is without air. Bulma was in the kitchen in a bikini and shorts drinking ice cold water while having several fans going and opened all the windows and the back kitchen door. Not to mention, it was only 9:30 in the morning!!
"Hmm, maybe I'll go for a swim today, I really haven't gone in that new pool my dad bought recently anyway." Bulma thought and walked into the backyard. She removed her shorts and touched the water with her toe; it wasn't too cold, but not warm, just very nice. She took a few steps back and ran in and made a huge wave of water!
Bulma came to the surface and sighed in relief. While she began a few laps she felt like someone was close to her...................this feeling became very eccentric that she grabbed the goggles by the pool but immediately threw them in the water, they were scorching hot.
Once they were cooled Bulma adjusted them for herself and dove underwater and rolled her eyes. Vegeta was sitting on the bottom of the pool meditating.
"Hmm I wonder if he notices I'm here, haha I'm gonna go swim around him and see." Bulma thought but first took another breath of fresh air and then went back down. She swam by him and smiled, making small circles around him but still he kept his eyes closed and didn't move, the only motion coming from him was his hair moving with the water current made by Bulma and the water filter.
Bulma felt like something was wrong so she swam closely to him and poked him in the chest. Suddenly his eyes widened and he was instantly at the surface. Bulma swam as fast as she could to see if he was alright.
"Vegeta are you al-" Vegeta looked very very pissed off, "right" she finished and Vegeta lashed out, "I was meditating, next time don't interrupted stupid woman!" Vegeta began to swim to the edge of the pool but Bulma yelled out, "Vegeta don't leave!" Vegeta stopped and turned around while Bulma was trying to think of what to say, "Um, wanna just swim around with me? I don't want to be out here alone because teens are gonna try and get in the pool." (FYI some teens do this thing where they go from one house to another and trash peoples pools)
"Sure, why not, there isn't anything better to do; training will just be too much for me right now." Bulma could only blink. "So, what do you like to do for fun?" Vegeta said in a mean yet playful tone while swimming side to side. "Well sometimes I like to, wah AHHHHHHHHH VEGETA!! SPLASH!!!"
Vegeta had picked her up in a flash that Bulma had no time to react and had lifted her up above the water and thrown her down. Vegeta only chuckled and Bulma came to the surface, pissed off but smirking, "oh yea big boy, take this!" Bulma gave him a doozy of a splash in the face.
"Woman, give me a break, you call that a splash, well I'll show you!" Vegeta put his arm back in the water and Bulma was mumbled words to try and get him to stop but too late. Bulma was blown half way across the pool. Bulma didn't know why but she was actually having fun, wait with Vegeta? That's something you don't see often, hardly at all.
After the water games between the two of them were over, Bulma sat on the edge of the pool and her legs in the water and Vegeta rested his elbows on the edge of the pool and laid his head on his arms.
"Vegeta." Bulma asked in a very sweet innocent tone.
"Hmmm" Vegeta responded with his eyes closed, he seemed very tired from the heat.
"I hope I'm not being rude but you can choose to answer or not but, doesn't it hurt to know that you can never go home to the ones who loved you?" Bulma looked down at him and he lifted up his head and looked at her.
He could tell she was being serious and curious at the same time, "I'm going to be honest Bulma and I trust you enough not to say anything but- "Vegeta paused, "but what?" Bulma asked and Vegeta once again looked into her eyes like he was searching for something, "it hurts Bulma but I don't feel bad that planet or race is gone its just everything happened when I was a child so I really don't know what to feel but my father and mother are the only two I've really cared about." Vegeta put his head down like he was shameful.
"Vegeta that was very honest of you to tell me that, because now I feel like I know you even better, no matter what Vegeta you can tell me anything, I'll always listen to you, I feel I'm the one you can trust always." Bulma smiled which made Vegeta slightly grinned.
It was then, Vegeta realized the true meaning why he loved Bulma, the person he could always count on and who actually gave a damn about what should ever happen to him.
