Why didn't anyone tell me I forgot the disclaimers!

I don't own jack *Jack walks away depressed* … or DBZ!

The next few periods went on schedule then came the one period that each dreaded. BAND!!!

Sure, it was an easy A, but add in the humiliation of the band uniforms (not being in band, the uniforms) and the fact that most assume you're only interested, both friendship and oohlala, with other band members, and, well. It's not worth it.

Now only Bulma, Chi Chi, Vegeta, and 18 were in band (can you picture Goku knowing how to work with any instument…besides the bongos!) and this really cut into the whole gang hanging out a lot. Mostly during the summer and after school, rarely on the weekends. It wasn't even like they could see Goku or Krillen during free time 3rd quarter. Goku was a quarterback and Krillen was an assistant announcer for the game. He only got off for half time shows, which he had to sit through anyway to please 18. Enough of this.

So they are in band room now and putting their instruments together. Bulma held her flute close to herself as she maneuvered to the clarinets where Chi Chi was assembling. 18 was helping her fellow percussionists set up while Vegeta cursed at the stuck mouthpiece in his trumpet, probably from improper storage and not playing all summer. "Hey, Chi, about what you said earlier about Yamcha."

"Hold this," she slammed the unfinished clarinet in Bulma's arms as she put the reed in it's proper place.

"Chi Chi, can you please listen to me."

"I am. You know, I can do more than one thing at a time Bulma. I might not be a genius like you, but I'm not completely below your intellectual level to where I can't listen and put together my instrument."

"I never said you were bel…"

"Look, can we talk later? I really don't want to be late." With that, Chi Chi grabbed her clarinet and put the head piece on, exiting the doors to the main practice room.

Bulma sighed visibly as she offered Vegeta some grease.

Band had finished, as well as school, and after they put their instruments away the four began to walk to their cars. "Chi, now can I talk to you?"

"Fine but make it quick, I got to get home to change for work."

"Look, I really don't want to see Yamcha anymore. I mean, we dated years ago and I just don't see him like that anymore."

"Alright then, no Yamcha, we'll find someone else. I know at least half of our class so I'll get you another. How about Radditz?"

"Goku's brother?!?"

"See, you already know him."

"Chi Chi, he graduated two years ago. He's going to be 21 soon and I'm not even 18 for another 5 months!"

"Well then, how about his cousin Turles? He's in our grade."

Unable to come up with an excuse fast enough, Chi Chi saw this as her giving in. "Great, he'll pick you up Saturday at 8. BE READY! Bye now." Before Bulma could put a word in, let alone say she didn't even ask him yet, Chi Chi hopped into her jeep and drove off.

"Still can't stand up for yourself to her, eh woman?"

"Shut up Vegeta."

She watched as he slid into the car next to her. "Follow me. We have to talk."

I know I know, this is short as fuck. Why you ask? Next chapter is LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG! Well, not like an essay long, but longer than anything else I've written before. I'm thinking…their convo and skipping to the weekend. Oh, and if you really care about what happens in their classes or seeing anything specific, leave it in your review.

IF YOU LOVE ANIME, REVIEW!!!!!!!!

Cheap trick, but it might work!
