Chapter Eighteen: The Roof
Vegeta looked down. "Ah, for uh...some reason, I felt like taking you here." He said, putting a hand behind his head. Bulma gave him a short stare. Vegeta, acting like this...? It was very unlike him. "What for?" Bulma asked.
"Well, for one, the view is great. For two, I had to be alone with you today, or I might have gone crazy."
Bulma stepped closer to him. "That's sweet." She said, pecking him on the cheek. Vegeta felt his face turn red as she kissed him, and he stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Um...you didn't mind that I kept you from your friends, did you?" He asked.
"Not at all." Bulma said. The two sat on the edge of the building, and let their feet dangle over the great drop below. Bulma felt one of Vegeta's arms come around her waist, pulling her closer. She sighed, and rested her head on his shoulder, as rain began to fall from the darkened sky, and tap lightly on their faces.
Vegeta wanted to ask her the question he'd pined to ask her since the day he saw her. But he felt unable to, and very nervous about the whole thing. "Um..." was all he was able to get out.
"Vegeta, are you trying to say something?" Bulma wondered.
"Er...I...do you...want to be my girlfriend?" Vegeta had drawn out the sentence, but quickened the end. He shut his eyes tightly, waiting for her to tell him no. Instead, he felt her lips brush against his softly, and a whisper in his ear after. "If you think you can handle me..." Bulma said, sapphire eyes sparkling, and blue hair beginning to become damp, and flat on her head.
"Do you doubt I could?" Vegeta smirked.
--Cafeteria...--
"You think Bulma will be back sometime this lunch hour...?" Chi-Chi asked, finally throwing the crusts of her sandwich in the trash. Krillin yawned. "I don't know. But the rain is making me feel tired." He nodded sluggishly at the window, where rain pattered gently against the building.
"Me too..." Goku sighed, resting his head on the table.
"Krillin, why did you buy me lunch...?" Eighteen spat out her question as bluntly and casually as possible.
"Ahaha! Lunch? Who said anything about lunch! I don-t--I mean, I never--Eighteen you're being ridiculous!" Krillin yelled, bolting upright in his seat. Eighteen raised her eyebrows. "What in Kami's name are you talking about...?" She asked.
"I bet Krillin has a crush on Eighteen!" Chi-Chi guessed.
"I don't--I mean, I--" Krillin sighed, and slumped in defeat. "Ugh."
"Um...Krillin?" Eighteen let her mouth hang open. She might have blown her cover on the first day, since Bulma made her blow him a kiss, but Krillin was another story. She didn't know if he liked her back or not. "Is that true?"
"Well..." Krillin threw a hand behind his head, all of which was beginning to turn red.
"You like me?" Eighteen gave a rare smile.
"Uh...yeah." Krillin mumbled. He nearly fell off of his seat when Eighteen kissed him on the cheek, and took his hand. "You want to go out?" Eighteen asked.
"Isn't it the guy's job to ask that...?" Goku wondered.
"Oh, well then, Goku, you sure did a fine job of it yourself!" Chi- Chi crossed her arms. "I had to drag it out of you!" She stated.
"Why n-not?" Krillin smiled, still dazed from the kiss.
"Great! Let's go find Bulma, and tell her." Eighteen yanked Krillin to his feet, and began to drag him down the hall, Goku and Chi-Chi following behind.
--The Roof...--
"What're you kids doing up here?!" The janitor, Mr. Ito, had stumbled upon embracing Bulma and Vegeta, and was not pleased. "You shouldn't be on the roof. I don't even know how you got into the Mechanical Room in the first place." He said, crossing his arms.
"M-Mr.. Ito!" Bulma and Vegeta screeched, jumping.
"Well? What're you waiting for? Get off the roof, and stay off, before I land your butts in detention for the rest of the year for being in a restricted are!" Mr. Ito used a thumb to point over his shoulder at the panel leading into the Mechanical Room.
"Yessir!" Bulma and Vegeta ran for their lives and free time's sake, and rushed through the mechanical room and into the hall.
"Bulma!" Chi-Chi waved, and ran up to her friend, who had burst out of the room with the more to himself boy so suddenly. "Chi-Chi!" Bulma smiled. "What's up?"
"Eighteen and Krillin are going out!" Goku laughed.
"What? Really, Eighteen?" Bulma said, laughing as well.
"What is so funny about this?" Krillin asked.
"I don't know. Let's go see if we can steal Choutzu's hat again." Eighteen suggested.
The six made their way to Tien and Choutzu's usual place for lunch, in pairs of two, holding hands with who was beside them. Goku scratched his head. "Hey, you guys...Isn't it weird that we're all going out with who Tanaka- sensei put us with...?" He asked.
"Huh?" The other five blinked.
"Well, it is a little coincidental..." Bulma decided.
"I think he knew we were going to end up together. Maybe he's psychic." Goku said.
"That's stupid. Shut your mouth unless you have something interesting to say, Kakkarot." Scoffed Vegeta.
"Alright, here's something interesting: Why are you and Bulma holding hands?" Goku wondered.
"Wha--oh, shit..." Vegeta slapped his forehead as he discovered he and Bulma's fingers were entwined, and, on top of that, Vegeta's other arm was draped over Bulma's shoulder.
"Vegeta, don't tell me you were planning on keeping us a secret, were you?" Bulma gasped.
"Hey, I--"
"You were, weren't you?!" Bulma broke into a screaming fit.
"Ouch..." Krillin covered his ears. "Good luck with her, man..." he said, giving a thumbs up to Vegeta.
"Bulma, please, STOP YELLING!" Vegeta begged. "You're going to give me a headache!"
"Fine. But I'm still offended." Bulma crossed her arms.
"Then be offended. Just stop yelling."
"Vegeta, I thought you said girls were stupid!" Goku pointed out.
"WHAT?!" Bulma smacked Vegeta's shoulder.
"Kakkarot, you just HAD to open your BIG MOUTH, didn't you!" Vegeta glared at Goku as Bulma started yelling again, drawing much attention as the six traveled through hallways.

---.---" In my opinion, a stupid ending. And I know you're ALL disappointed since this is the end, and I was supposed to have a Halloween chapter, as well as snow them into the school for Christmas holidays. Well...I have news. I will be writing ANOTHER high school fiction starting August 29th, 2004, and it will be called "Celebrations." So...don't feel bad, there'll be another soon...:) Just wait a month, so I can recharge my writing gland...thingy.
I hope you liked this story, anyways. I thank anyone who took the time to review, and place a Leprechaun curse on anyone who read and didn't review. :) So if you didn't review already, then you should NOW.
I love you ALL for reading this, and I hope you liked it! Did you notice I put the couples together in the order that they get together in the actual series...? First Kakkarot-Chi-Chi, Vegeta-Bulma, then Krillin-Eighteen! Hahaha...[cleverness]
