Author's Notes: OMG!!! I have over 200 reviews! I got like.... 40 reviews for the last chapter alone! Well... after I posted the last chapter. :P Man I love you guys.... ::sniffle:: ::wipes a tear:: :D Anyway, I've changed a bit on the stuff (?). Seeing as I'm getting more reviews for this fic, I'm going to move the review responses to the end of the fic. - Kay kay? Kay! :P Anyway, guess it's on with chapter 13! It's kind of an info chapter vs an eventful chapter, the REAL eventful chapter will be the next one. :D

"Vegeta's been captured. I need your help."
Chichi gasped. "Vegeta was caught??"
"How is that possible?!" Goku cried from next to Chichi. A look of hurt and pain came across Bulma's face.
"It's..." she sniffled, "it's all my fault! They got me and used me as bait to catch him..."
"Bait?" Goku asked. "Wouldn't Vegeta know it was bait?"
"Of coarse he did. They left a note on my horse saying that they had me, and Sess rode to Vegeta's."
"... And he still came...?" Bulma nodded.
"Man," Chichi commented. "He has never, or would never, do that... he's changed. For the better I think. What happened? Why did he actually rescue you?" Bulma looked down solemnly.
"I'm not sure if I should tell you... Vegeta would be mighty angry..." she mumbled. Chichi walked over to her and gently grabbed her shoulders.
"Honey, we need to know why he was caught. We're his friends..." she explained.
"Well, he claims that we're not, but I know that we are," Goku added. Bulma smiled a bit. Bulma smiled a bit.
"Well um... I suppose... He came to rescue me because, well... because he knew that I loved him so much..." Chichi gasped, then a smile spread across his face.
"Oh my Kami I knew it! I just knew that you would fall in love with him! A premonition or something," Chichi cried.
"There's more... When he was surrendering himself, I protested, telling him not to do it. He told me that he was doing it because he loved me so much..." This time, both Chichi and Goku gasped.
"He said WHAT?!?!" they cried in unison. Bulma continued staring at the floor.
"Well come on!" Chichi yelled, grabbing Bulma's arm and dragging her towards the door, where Goku was already there waiting. "We HAVE to rescue him now! No one should break up true love!"

Tien looked back and forth from behind the door to see that all the prisoners were asleep. Once he was sure from all the loud snores and the lack of movement, he creeped in, walking up to the first cell. He pushed himself up against the bars and whispered, "Psst! Launch..."
There was shifting on the bed, then Launch got up and walked up to her side of the bars. She leaned in and kissed him fully and passionately on the lips.
Tien took out his keys and unlocked the jail cell door as they were captured in the kiss, breaking it only momentarily to step inside the cell before continuing right where they left off. Launch threw her arms around his neck as Tien's arms went around her waist, pulling her as close as possible. They slowly walked over to the cot, still passionately enthralled in their kiss, until the back of Launch's knees touched against the cot, catching her off guard and causing her to tumbled down on the cot; Tien brought down with her, both giggling on the way.
Once they were both lying on the bed, they looked into each other's eyes longingly, before Launch cleared her throat and sat up on the cot. "So um..." she started.
Tien sat up as well, a little embarrassed, although he didn't know why. "Yeah...." he mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck.
There was silence.
"Did you really want to do that? Use their love to get him?" Launch asked, breaking the silence. Tien looked down in shame.
"Of coarse I didn't.... I don't like doing to anyone else what I wouldn't want to have done to me..." he sighed, hurt clearly evident in his voice.
"Then why did you do it?"
Tien sighed. "Well, I figured if I caught the most wanted and most dangerous outlaw, I would become the Sheriff... that's all I really want... That and to kick that Yamcha's ass. I would have let Bulma come to 'live' with him afterwards, or let him go; as long as he promised not to rob our town again... I would never want to come between true love, and this definitely is. Anyone who can get love from Vegeta is truly gifted and special, and it's true love."
Launch leaned over and hugged him. "If anyone took you away from me, I don't know what I'd do..." she whispered in his ear, tears starting to well up in her eyes for unknown reasons.
"If someone used you to get to me like what I did to Vegeta... I would have done the same thing..." he whispered back, pulling back and looking straight into her eyes. She smiled warmly and kissed him.
"I love you," she whispered against his lips as he lowered her down onto the bed. She moaned with pleasure as he untucked her shirt and began to slide his hands against the warm flesh of her stomach before...
"Ya know, you're so sidetracked that I could break out right now and lock you inside that cell." Tien's head snapped up from its place on Launch's neck.
"Vegeta??" Tien whispered kind of angrily.
"You two really aren't that good at being quiet. If you aren't just a little more careful you're going to have your little love affair discovered." Tien's shoulders slumped. Great.
"How long have you been listening?"
"Since the moment you opened the door. You call that quiet?" Vegeta scoffed. Tien looked down solemnly at Launch, who was trying her hardest not to laugh, then got up, heading for the cell door. He exited the cell and locked it back up, waving discretely to Launch. He had been hoping that tonight would have been the night when they would finally consummate their love. That went down the crapper.
He walked over to Vegeta's cell where he saw him lying back on his bed, head on his arms, smirking at him devilishly. "So you heard everything?" he asked. Vegeta only sighed and nodded. "Well then being as I had NO idea that you were eavesdropping on us, you must know that I was telling the truth right?"
"Eavesdropping?? It was your own damn fault that you're so damn loud," Vegeta retorted, sitting up on his cot. "And fine, I believe you..."
"Good. I really don't want to be enemies, I don't like enemies. I guess I don't really sound like a lawman, do I....?"
"Not any lawman I've ever seen," Vegeta shrugged. There was a moment of awkward silence.
Tien cleared his throat, a bit uncomfortable now. "Well... Um... I guess I'd better be off... I've got a big day tomorrow..." Tien mumbled.
"Whatever," was Vegeta's nonchalant reply. Tien sighed, turned around, and headed out.
"Tien!" he heard Launch call. He turned around.
"Hmm?" She motioned for him to come over there.
"I need to let you know something, it's rather important," she whispered to him once he was right up against the bars. Tien nodded, motioning for her to continue. She grabbed his chin in her hand and pulled his lips to hers, while her other hand went to his butt and gently giving it a squeeze, earning a small yelp from the Deputy. Then she broke off the kiss and brought her lips to his ear. "You can't tell anyone," she whispered, barely audible, "especially not Vegeta..." Then she trailed off.
"..... Yes? Continue...." Tien urged. Launch took a deep breath.
"Bulma's pregnant."

Well, that seemed like the PERFECT place to cut it off! D This was going to be... well... basically the next chapter, but as I was writing it and got to this point, it just seemed like the PERFECT cut off. And it was, although I probably just dug my own grave and all of you readers are going to throw me in it.... O.O;; I think I have a death wish or something; making all of these cliffhangers and all... o.O Well, the next chapter will hopefully be out quicker than this one was... ::sigh:: I'm sorry it took so long... I got busy with school and then I had a stupid retreat for church.... Don't get me wrong, I believe strongly in my religion, it's just that these things are so BORING!!! ::screams:: Anyway, see you soon I hope! Ja! R&R!!

Pan2K – Hehe, I hope it was quick... -;; Well, if you want me to have him say "Yeehaw!" I'll do it! He seems more the type to do that than Vegeta.... -.-
Vegetas-Princess – Well I'm glad you liked that part! Actually, I think my favorite parts in this fic are The Cactus Beating and the "Seductive" Walk. ) Oh I know, cliffies are evil, but SO fun to write. D
Zephyr the Divine One – Well if you liked the last cliffhanger, I hope you like this one!!! ) I'm such an evil bitch... AND PROUD OF IT!!

Trina – Thank you! I try my best.
V.J – Hehe, well I have been updating quicker than I used to... ::scoffs at the months between updates:: ::slaps self around for that:: Oh I know, I like it when other couples are added, it makes it more interesting. - Thank you, I pride myself on my Yamcha bashing. ::wears it like a badge:: I like Brad too! I added him in there for the fun of it. I should have Yamcha get put in Brad's cell (as you suggested) and have Brad use him as his personal bitch. ) Totally, Yamcha is just the funnest to rip on. Don't worry, all turns out well, of coarse! :D Thank you for your support on the Flame from the Idiot who didn't bother to do anything than rip on DBZ vs my story. Very idiotic and childish. And I am so proud of my response! :P Thank you!
ssjprincess – So k, I update whenever I add a new chapter, so I really don't have a schedule... -.-;; Go Vegeta! Yamcha IS a pathetic weakling! - Ahh, and Vegeta's response to the whole him getting captured and showing his feelings, priceless. :) Lol, I hope that Vegeta doesn't kill you for that sweetheart remark... -;; Hehe, I like the toilet water thing SO much.... and the "seductive" walk, LOVE IT. Oh Vegeta! Don't be angry and silent, you're voice is so sexy! :P Thanks for reviewing the chapters!
moonsaiyanprincess – Lol, I know, I'm a heartless bitch. - Well, maybe not heartless, but I AM a bitch, I wear it like a badge. ::shows her "Bitch Badge"::
The Flying Pen – I'm glad you liked the chapters! And OMG! I didn't know that you added a new chapter! I don't get it... I check out all the new fics everyday... How could I have missed it...? ::tear:: Oh... I see! It was just updated today... -;; Well I hope that this cliffhanger is fixed, and this one will be sure to piss everyone off. ::ducks all the tomatoes being thrown at her, much like The Flying Pen:: I seriously am beginning to think that I have a death wish, I swear my readers are going to hunt me down, tie me up, and lock me in a closet with only a computer that has Word on it.... O.O;; Ugh, I hate Writer's Block.... But, I think I've found a way to get out of it! All I have to do is go on the computer and start to type, whatever I think might fit, then I get ideas. :D But that prolly won't work for everyone. ::shrugs:: Well, after I post this, I'm off to read and review your new chapter! :D
Akumude – Really? I didn't know you were a fellow author! :D Hi there! ::does the secret Author Handshake:: ........ Must just be me... O.O Omg, the most evil cliffhanger at the moment would HAVE to be "The Allure Of A Saiyan" by Rapunzel. I suggest everyone read it, it's just too cool! :P OOOOO! SEX HUMOR!!?? FUUUUN!!!!!! Well, be sure to tell me when you get your big stories out! :D
See Jane Conform – Thank you! Who ISN'T a sucker for AUs! :D
someone – Hehe, well, I hope that this chapter was out kind of fast. -;; Sorry for the cliffhanger! :P

TrunksGirl – Lol, I'm not dissing the potatoes! The potatoes rule! Hehe... sorry... Lately I haven't felt like talking, just ask Steven! (One of my online friends.) O.O;; ::was laughing for minutes about that::
trunksgf513 – Yeah, I made him TOTALLY OOC... -;; Yep! That's exactly what I was going for! He might never see her again, so he's confessing it all. Don't worry, Bulma gets her Yamcha-ass-kicking time. - Well, think about it, if you were the Deputy and you REALLY wanted to be Sheriff, but the person who was Sheriff and keeping you from the job you want was a complete FOOL, wouldn't you act the same way? :D I know I would... Cha, Brad rules! :P Ahh, the question is, if we got him a Dictionary, would he be able to read it? O.O;; Why thank you!
Blossom Morphine – Thank you very much!

Pan2001 – What can I say, I'm kinda good at suspense. -;; ::ducks the quacking ducks being thrown at her:: O.O Hehe, Yamcha couldn't shoot Vegeta if he were 5 inches in front of him. :P Hehe, well I hope to have a lemon soon! :D

Fiona Rayne – Yamcha IS a total ass! :D Well, I don't really condone death in my stories, so I'm prolly just going to have Yamcha live, but live with a lifetime of torture. :) Hope that's still good.... Well, good luck with your homework!
Da Bomb – Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
Gohan's Girl – Yep! Bulma's a smarty! :P I just really wanted to put them back in the story, I had that planned out since the beginning of the story. :D Neither can I! Thanks for reviewing!
