To the untrained eye, the following week at the Capsule Corporation passed
like any other. Dr. Briefs was keeping busy with board meetings and new
inventions, Mrs. Briefs hummed happily as she tended her garden and cooked
feast after feast for her 'wonderful houseguest', Vegeta trained, ate,
slept, and trained, and Bulma Briefs worked double time on the gravity room
upgrade (stopping here or there for a soap opera and bubble bath).
However, there was something different about this unusual family as of
late. Vegeta was a bit quieter, while Bulma a bit happier, Mrs. Breifs a
bit giddier and the good doctor a little more observant of his family.
Something had changed, and none of them seemed to know what exactly had
happened. Well, that's unfair, Two of them knew what had happened, yet
they didn't know what to make of it, and the other two did know what to
make of it, they just didn't know what had happened.
Yes, the senior Briefs concurred, there was awkwardness between Vegeta and
Bulma, ever since she had broken up with Yamcha last week. The two seemed
different, not too much, but different. Vegeta stayed away, where as
normally he took every opportunity to egg Bulma on into a fight. Bulma
seemed to work a bit harder for the Prince, without his constant badgering.
It was almost like the two of them had come to an understanding. They
seemed to live better together, but it was still new and shaky.
Mrs. Briefs was positively giddy.
Dr. Briefs was positively intrigued.
Mrs. Breifs was always quick to observe how the two acted and reacted with each other; Whereas Dr. Breifs was more apt to observe them separately.
Vegeta, he had concluded, had one thought in mind...to reclaim his pride as the Prince. He could understand that to a point. The people who had oppressed him his entire life had been the most powerful in the universe. How else could one regain pride unless they defeat those who oppress them? Now, with Freeza defeated by Goku, Vegeta must defeat Goku in order to earn his title and pride again.
Bulma, his darling daughter, was a bit too self-centered. She had always been more concerned about herself than other. For the love of all that is held sacred, she went off looking for dragon balls so she could get herself a boyfriend! However, as he had hoped, Bulma seemed to be outgrowing some of her fascination with herself.
This rather recent development was rather intriguing; especially since it coincided with this little dance she had been doing with Vegeta all week.
He was certain they thought that no one noticed. They avoided each other, but both seemed to be doing things that the other had always barked about, such as Vegeta letting Bulma sleep in the morning and be a bit more reasonable about his upgrade schedule, and Bulma seemed to be a whole lot more dedicated to getting the chamber done.
However, there were still too many awkward silences when the two would meet.
The meeting of the minds occurred over dinner and wine one evening. Both elder Briefs agreed, whatever happened between Bulma and Vegeta was a welcome change. It would take some time for the new arrangement to settle in, but if it kept on they way it was currently going, they were certain that things would be a little more enjoyable around the compound. Yes, they agreed, Bulma and Vegeta were good for each other.

Well, I know it's short, but I wanted a bit of an intro into the next chapter. I still am not entirely sure what I want for this fic, I just know where in the dbz story line I want it to end. I'll probably jump a bit seeing as how I hate stories with meaningless chapters (i.e. lets take vegeta to the mall or bulma gets a makeover for her new man chapters) but there will be a couple of "Thinking" chapters (those should be short and quickly posted). All I can offer for an idea about this fic is that it should fit nicely in with the real dbz story, only filling in gaps and giving possible answers as to why Bulma lost track of vegeta after trunks was born or why vegeta let bulma and trunks get shot down by the androids. No, I am not going to completely recap the android saga through the cell games, just reference them a bit.
Well, that's all for now. As soon as I like what I've written, I'll post again!
Read and review lovies!
