~Chapter 8~
Hello. Has it been a long
enough wait? I can see you all are just peeing yourselves to see what happens
next, right? Hey, who reads these things anyway?? Well, I'm glad you do!! I
don't know how this chapter will turn out, until I get to the bottom of the
page. But hopefully it'll pick up pace. * Sigh* I am utterly lost at how to
bring those two together…
Oh yeah! Disclaimer: I
don't own DBZ, I never will own DBZ, and if I did Vegeta would be the star of
the show and there'd be at least 8 children named after underwear running
around. Isn't it just a horrendous thought! But I do own Rae, Emi, and anyone
else I decide to drop in the story. Also, if anyone's thinking of using my plot
or characters, you know, like almost the exact same thing I'm writing,
Princess P. will get mad!! But no one's stupid enough to do that, right? *Oh
yeah and the name Panchii does NOT come from the name PAN. No offense, but I'm
more of a Briefs person then a Son one. * Princess P-chan.
Monday at school.
"Nani yo?
Why's he crying for? I thought he'd be happy I broke up wit him!" Bulma said
shocked. "So, you finally broke up with him?" Vegeta said trying to confirm
what Bulma had said. "Yeah, I did, but now… He's crying??" Bulma asked as she
looked at Goku. "Yup. How'd you break up with him, though? I've got 1st
period gym wit him. And he had it then. He told me Chichi gave him a
note. I was pretty confused. I was like, 'Why's my girlfriend sending Yamucha
notes.' But it kind of makes sense now. The note was from you, right Bulma?"
Goku asked. "Well, sort of." She answered as she glared at Chichi. Her friend
just shrugged her shoulders. "But it was great. He just sat there and started
whimpering like a little girl!" Vegeta laughed. Bulma glared at him, "Could you
not be a jerk for once, Vegeta?" He was kind of sad that she was
starting to be same old bitchy Bulma towards him, but then he smirked, "I'm
good at it. Why should I change just for your approval?" he asked her
defiantly. Goku and Chichi both sweat dropped as they saw Bulma's eyes narrow
as if she were ready to fight. "Go to hell, Vegeta." She answered in a low
voice. He smirked at her. " You're always following after that piece of shit
you call a boyfriend like a little dog. No wonder you can't find another man!"
Vegeta laughed at her. "I could find another man if I wanted to. And of course
it's not going to be you! You're an inconsiderate, selfish, jerk. And I
don't know what was in my mind when I thought I liked you!" Bulma yelled
in his face, then turned on her heel and stalked away. Vegeta blinked, he
hadn't expected her to say that. Chichi gave a 'you just blew it' look to
Vegeta and hurried after Bulma. Goku sighed in disappointment. "You know what,
Vegeta? Sometimes you should just keep your big mouth shut." Goku said angrily.
Vegeta turned around quickly and slammed Goku against a locker, holding him
there by his shirt collar. Goku blinked in shock, it didn't hurt, but he was
still surprised that Vegeta had done that. "Just shut the fuck up, Kakarot!"
Vegeta yelled, then dropped Goku and stalked out of the building. The secretary
of the main office called out to Vegeta who walked past her. "Hey! You can't
leave the school building!" she yelled after him. "Shove it." He replied simply
back to the secretary as he went through the doors. The lady's face went red
with anger. "Two weeks detention, for that one!" she yelled to no one in
particular. Goku gulped as he straightened his shirt. He didn't know what Vegeta
would do. He wouldn't come back for the rest of the day, well not since Bulma
had told him off like that. Goku shook his head in exasperation. Chichi's
mission to get Bulma and Vegeta together wasn't working as planned.
" Come on, Bulma! Just give it one more
try. You don't want to screw up in this relationship." Chichi said as she tried
to coax Bulma out of the bathroom stall. "No way in hell am I going to ever
leave this bathroom!" Bulma yelled back to Chichi. "Bulma…" Chichi started, but
Bulma cut her off. "You were totally right. What did I see in him? Well except
for the fact that I just love the way his nose is so cute and pointy like that.
And I love the way his lips curve when he smirks at me. And I love his eyes.
They're so deep and penetrating. Oooh, and he's the only boy other than Krillen
and Goku that could really make me laugh… Waah! Now he must hate me! Why did I
say those things to him?" Bulma wailed. Chichi winced at the high-pitched
noise. Before Bulma was just sniffling, and Chichi didn't think she'd start
crying! This scene made Chichi remember when she used to be just like Bulma.
Actually, Chichi used to just cry because she had nothing better to do. Well
that is, until she met Goku, well started to date him that is. He was so adorable
as a 7th grader… The girls' bathroom door slowly creaked open and
Chichi's head popped up out of her daydreams. She could tell that Bulma had
heard it too, because she had stifled her sobs, momentarily. Tentatively,
Juuhachi-gou slipped into the bathroom. "Hey, Juu-chan." Chichi greeted the
blonde. Bulma sniffled, so 18 would know she was there, too. "Hey, B-chan. Goku
told me that you were probably in here. But he wouldn't tell me what happened.
Are you okay?" 18 asked. Chichi smiled, the only people 18 ever showed real
compassion to were her, Bulma and Krillen. "I don't wanna talk about it!" Bulma
yelled as she started crying again. 18 glanced at her wristwatch, "Well, we've
officially cut class now. It started 8 minuets ago. So, since we have to stake
out in here for another 37, why don't one of you tell me what happened?"
18 asked. "Bulma had a bad run in with Vegeta." Chichi said. 18's eyebrows
narrowed, "What'd he do to her?" she asked. "Oh, nothing, it's more like what she
said to him. You know, Bulma's got a major crush on Vegeta." Chichi
said with a grin on her face. Chichi heard Bulma stomp her foot in the stall.
"You weren't supposed to tell anyone that, Chichi!" Bulma said. "Heh, I guess I
should have figured that one out for myself. I mean you did kiss him at
the club last Saturday." 18 admitted. "Oooh, and he's a good kisser to
boot! I only kissed him once but already I know he's better than Yamucha!"
Bulma squealed. 18 and Chichi sweat dropped. "Well…that's nice to know." 18
said as she looked at Chichi and mouthed 'she's lost it'. Bulma chose this time
to emerge from her bathroom hideout. "Humph," she said as she looked over her
tear stained face in the mirror, " I look horrible. Vegeta wouldn't want me
even if I apologized." "What're you talking about? You're the prettiest
out of me and Chichi put together." 18 said. "Well, I beg to differ…" Chichi
muttered angrily. Bulma smiled at 18, then turned back to the mirror. She
pulled a comb and hair spray out of her purse and started to attend to her long
lavender locks. "Hey, what do you mean if you apologize to him?" Chichi
said since the thought struck her. Bulma turned to Chichi with a nonchalant
expression on her face. "Hey, what I said was true, ne? Yeah, he's adorably
cute, hot, sexy, and the guy of my dreams all at the same time, but I noticed
something while I was in that stupid stall. How do I know that Vegeta isn't
exactly like Yamucha? We know for a fact that whenever he has a girl he
just uses her and is done with her in a week. Two at the most. So, bein' with
him is no biggie." Bulma said as she turned back to the mirror. Chichi and 18
just stood behind her with dumb looks on their faces. "Uh… yeah. We'll be
outside. I mean in the hall way." Chichi said as she grabbed 18's arm and dragged
her out too. "Yeah, okay, whatever." Bulma said as she applied mascara to her
long eyelashes.
Chichi leaned against the wall with her
eyes close and her eyebrows furrowed. "I don't know why some of her brains
couldn't go into relationship smarts. Sometimes she has these really drastic
mood changes! I mean 10 minuets ago she was bawling about Vegeta not wanting
her and about how she was sorry for what she said. Then she comes out and says,
'Oh let's just forget about Vegeta! No biggie.' No biggie, my ass. When
she heard that Vegeta was going to come with us to the club last Saturday she
was totally excited and nearly freaked out. But then got all-nonchalant again
as soon as she saw that I had noticed her reaction. Bulma's good at frontin'
about something. She's probably lying and is probably not ever going to
get over this." Chichi concluded. 18 took a moment to absorb this, "Chichi,
have you ever thought that maybe it's good that she's gonna get over
Vegeta? I mean what she said, that he hasn't gone steady with anyone ever since
he started going out." "No! Bulma likes Vegeta, and Vegeta likes her! That's
all that matters." Chichi argued. "Humph, and why do you want Bulma and
Vegeta to hook up, hmm? Is this another one of your missions for the year; to
screw up more people's lives?" 18 asked seriously. Chichi's face went red
either from anger or embarrassment, who could tell? "Juuhachi-gou! That's not
true! I hooked you and Krillen up and you two couldn't be happier!" Chichi
yelled. "Yeah, but you also hooked Bulma and Yamucha up, even though you knew
he was a player. Even back in the 8th grade!" 18 laughed. 'Why does everyone
have to bring that up?' Chichi asked herself. "This is different. Yamucha was
just interested in Bulma because he liked her body and thought she'd be easy.
But Vegeta, have you ever heard him say a single thing concerning Bulma's
looks? Well, in a perverse high school boy way?" Chichi questioned. "Well, he
said a lot of stuff about you and me. And I don't think he messed with Bulma because
she was more a friend to him then you or me…" 18 said and Chichi happily cut
her off, "And that's how this secret crush formed! Vegeta's probably been
sweatin' Bulma since they first became…uh…friends?" Chichi said, her argument
slightly slowing down as she realized that Bulma and Vegeta weren't exactly
'friends'. "Like, duh, Chichi. You know they have a big blow out argument like
once a month. And it's like timed: Always on a Friday, always right outside our
8th period class. Isn't that cute?" 18 asked Chichi. "Arrgh! 18 I
need your help on this one." Chichi said as a sly smile formed on her small
lips. "I'm gonna make this work, and I don't care how many people I have
to involve."
Vegeta was just walking around. This was
one of the reasons he didn't cut class. There was never anything to do in the
meanwhile. He plopped down on a bench that was outside of the West Capital
Park. He just let out a sigh. 'Does this mean she doesn't like me anymore?' he
asked himself miserably. 'If she doesn't I don't know what I'll do. I was lying
to Kakarot. I've liked that baka onna ever since I met her in 8th
grade' Suddenly, he felt someone sitting next to him. He looked up and his eyes
almost bugged out. Sitting next to him was his Brown haired green-eyed cousin,
Emi. "Funny finding you out here. It's only 9:45." She said as she glanced at
her watch, "Shouldn't you be in school now?" "Shouldn't you be in school
now?" he asked her back. She raised her eyebrows slightly. "You know that I'm
23 and in college, little guy. Plus, I'm on my summer break already. You knew
that also." She answered him with a warm smile on her face. "Don't call me
that." He growled at her. "Don't call you what?" she asked innocently. "Don't
call me 'little guy'. I'm not a kid." He said to her. "Ha ha!" she laughed,
"Veggie-chan, you're six years younger than me. You'll always be a little guy
in my eyes. And your current height doesn't help the situation much!" "Go to
hell." He replied. She frowned at him. "I've been gone for three years and look
at how you turned out! I told obasan that you needed to spend some time in a boot
camp or somethin'!" she laughed. He couldn't help but chuckle, but then his
face turned into a frown again. "So what's up little—uh I mean, Vegeta?" she
asked. "Nuthin'" he responded. "Heh, yeah right. You look like you just broke
up with your girlfriend. Or your cat just got run over by a car. You don't have
a cat right? Well, you didn't have one last time I checked." She told him.
"It's sort of the first one…" he mumbled. "Oooh! Veggie-chan has a girlfriend!
Is she pretty?" Emi asked excitedly. "She's not my girlfriend! She's a
girl, that's a friend." He replied. "Ohhhh, one of those situations."
She said as she nodded her head. "One of those what situations?" he asked her
confusedly. "The kinds where you fall head over heels for your best friend and
you don't know if she likes you back." Emi answered plainly. "She's not my best
friend." Vegeta said. "Who is your best friend, then?" she asked. "Kakarot."
Vegeta replied. "Um… The tall one with the weird hair that sticks out in five
different places?" she asked him. "Yeah." "Oh, well is this girl friends with
Kakarot, too?" "Uh huh." Vegeta replied. "See! That's like a more stretched out
best friendship thingy! If she's friends with him, and you're friends with him
then that sort of makes the two of you best friends since you have the same
choice in people." Emi said quickly. "Huh? You're losing me. Slow down." Vegeta
said. "Okay. How did she become friends with Kakarot? Wait! Hold up! What's
this chick's name anyhow?" she asked him. "Bulma." Vegeta replied. "Bulma, the
pretty one with the purple hair that was always hanging out with that black
haired girl? What was that girl's name again? Kiki?" Emi asked. "Her name's
Chichi and your description of Bulma was pretty much correct. But how do you
know about Bulma and Chichi anyway. I know for a fact that I never
brought those two over." Vegeta asked his cousin. "Oh, well I remember a
picture that you had in your room. You told me that Bulma's mom had taken the
picture and had given copies of it to your whole little group. The funniest
thing about that picture that I remember was that the guy in the middle, he was
standing next to Bulma, had devil's ears and red marker all over his face!
Kakarot had a leash drawn on him and the little bald one was colored green,
like a frog. Vegeta you are such a destructive kid!" Emi laughed. "The guy with
the devil's ears is her boyfriend. Well he was." " Oh, Really? Well, back to
this Bulma business. Did you like her while she was dating her
boyfriend?" she asked him. "Well, sort of. But it was all her fault! She
kissed me first!" Vegeta protested. "Nani?! Kissed?? I thought you said
you two were just friends!" Emi asked, surprised. "Well, it's like this,
Kakarot and his bitch were trying to hook up me and Bulma. We were at a dance
club and started dancing. But then her boyfriend popped up," he said as he
smirked. "Heh, and was he ever pissed. I had to get the baka onna a drink, and
her retard of a boyfriend started messing with me. I swear, I would of kicked
his ass if Kakarot didn't hold me back…" he said as he trailed off. "Oh, so
you're a regular bad boy, eh?" Emi asked as she laughed. "Shut up and stop
mocking me." Vegeta said as he glared at her, and she stopped laughing. "You
know, you're no help at all. Why don't you go back to campus or something." He
told her. Emi pouted, "Gosh, you've gotten mean, Veggie-chan." She commented.
"And you need to grow up." He responded. They sat in uncomfortable silence for
few moments when Emi finally spoke up. "I have an idea!" she said happily.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow, "Wut?" he asked her. "I can solve your little "crush"
problem. In a simple, revolutionary way." She announced. "And what is that?"
Vegeta asked her. "Here it goes. Why don't you just tell her…" she trailed off.
"Tell her what?" he asked. "Tell her that you like her! No, tell her that
you're madly in love with her! And that you think about her all of the
time. Isn't that a good idea, cousin?" she asked. Vegeta sweat dropped, "Woman,
I don't know how you're related to me. That's the stupidest idea I ever heard."
Vegeta laughed. "Humph. Well, that girl won't like you if you use 'woman' as a
pronoun. What ever happened to calling me oneechan?" she asked, sounding
slightly offended. "Humph." Vegeta responded. "So… What are we going to do
about you and Bulma?" she asked as she smirked at him. "We aren't going
to be doing anything about this. I'll handle it myself. And I hope
you're going home." Vegeta said. "Nah. My dad and me had a fight and your mom
said it was okay if I stayed at your house. For the entire summer. So I guess,
I will take part in this Bulma situation." She said as she smirked at him. "Aw,
Fuck." He said angrily. "It's not that bad, is it, Veggie-chan? Come on and
I'll go get you an ice cream." She said. He growled but followed her to her car
anyway.
Hi ya'll. Here's the
problem. I'm sooooooooo sorry that it took so long to get this chapter out, but
there seems to always be a prob wit my computer. Remember I said that my
3 ½ floppy drive didn't work. Well I come home on Thursday of last week and
find that my computer is gone. Shipped back to Texas! So we didn't get it back
until this week Friday. And the entire chapter 8 was deleted. So I'm sorry, and
I know it's short, but it's 11:22 p.m. and I haven't slept in awhile. So, I
want feedback. Thanks, Princess Panchii-chan.
