A/N- maybe I should Clarify a few things...I know I have made the whole Goku/Vegeta thing a little vague- but everything will be explained all in good time my friends. And I want to repeat that I have nothing, I repeat NOTHING against little Krillin. I happen too love little short bald guys who happen to raise turtles! HAHA, you know when I'd said Krillin raised turtles I hadn't even thought of master roshi until Kei mentioned it in a review- what a coincidence!! And also I know I have been making Bulma seem evil, but I don't have anything against her either- she is just going through a hard time...and I guess she is not sure quite how to cope with it all...but don't worry...I know the story will end good!
Bulma tiptoed down the stairs towards her lab, trying to be as quiet as possible so she wouldn't wake anyone. The absolute silence around Bulma forced her to notice the unexpected rumbling of her stomach, almost like it was cursing her. She remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner the night before, and she was somewhat starved. Bulma made a quick detour to the kitchen, only to find that the fridge was empty, and almost all of the cabinets were bare. ::Damn it Vegeta!:: she thought, her stomach grumbling louder by the second.
:: I guess I can do the first part of my plan at the diner::, she thought as she grabbed a jacket from a closet, snatched a pen and paper from a drawer, and lightly hopped out the door.
Bulma halfway jogged to the diner, but only out of hunger. When she arrived, she plopped down in a booth by the window and pulled out her pen and paper. Before she had a chance to begin to write, a heavyset man waddled over to her, taking her attention.
"Hey there Bulma," the soft-spoken man said happily. "What will you have this morning?"
"Hey Al," Bulma said. Al was such a nice man, and a good waiter. He hardly ever got an order messed up, yet he never wrote them down. " Can I have a short stack of strawberry pancakes and a small milk please?" Bulma asked politely.
"Coming right up, my blue beauty," Al said. He had known Bulma since she was a little girl; she had always eaten here with her father on Saturday mornings, and Al felt like an uncle to her. Memorizing her order, Al shuffled off, towards the kitchen.
Bulma began to write. With much heartfelt regret and sadness she composed a beautiful letter of apology to Chi Chi, and it even mentioned a little apology to Krillin.
Dear Chi Chi,
I am very aware that my behavior last night was completely unacceptable and extremely rude. I guess when I left so quickly last night I hadn't really been thinking of how everyone might feel about it. And to Krillin...I regret what I did to you. I didn't mean to hurt you, and I wasn't leaving because of you. I felt a little uncomfortable in the situation I was in, and I just needed to get out. Chi Chi, we have been best friends for a very long time, and I don't want to lose our friendship over this...I know you are in a new relationship and its exciting, and I know you want to spend a lot of time with Goku. I also know that you are probably pretty angry with me right now and don't even want to talk to me-which I can understand- so I think maybe we should take a little break. I want you to have as much time with Goku as you need, and I think I need a little time alone to do some thinking about myself. Once again I am sorry for all the pain I have caused you and Krillin and
Goku. Sorry. Call me whenever you are ready to start all over.
*Bulma
Bulma looked down happily at her letter of apology, and although she had embellished it a little she felt that it was basically honest and sincere. She would drop it by Chi Chi's on her way home.
Just as Bulma was putting her letter in her pocket, Al sauntered out of the kitchen carrying a large plate of three steaming pancakes dripping in savory maple syrup. ::The day is already turning out great:: Bulma thought, licking her hungry lips.
Vegeta rolled sleepily out of bed, all the while looking out the window at the clear, yet windy day. Vegeta watched as the trees bent precariously in the wind, threatening to snap at any moment. Yawning, Vegeta began to turn away and head for the bathroom when something strange caught his eye. Vegeta leaned in for a closer look. ::Is that Kakkarott? What is he doing next door? Wait...that's Chi Chi's house...::
Vegeta had seen Goku, sleepily rubbing his eyes and climbing down the house next door from a second story window. Vegeta decided to confirm his suspicions and with great ease he flung his window open and jumped to the ground.
With grand speed and agility he ran to catch up with Goku, who had already walked down half of the street. Quietly and swiftly, Vegeta pounced on Goku, putting his strong hand over Goku's mouth so Goku wouldn't make too much noise. "Come with me, and don't even think of running away," Vegeta said sharply to a horrified Goku. All Goku could do was nod in a scared and confused manner.
Vegeta quietly led Goku to the Capsul Corp's gravity chamber, and locked the door behind them so no one would happen to walk in.
"I know it's you Kakkarott," Vegeta said harshly, as if Goku was the scum of the earth. Goku gulped loudly, and nodded in agreement. "What the HELL are you doing here!?" Vegeta spat out, confused and angry with Goku for what, Goku didn't know.
Goku looked up sadly at Vegeta, realizing that he'd have to tell Vegeta why he was on Earth, unless he wanted to end up dead... or worse. Slowly and quietly, Goku began to talk.
"I was exiled," he began, not wanting to remember the pain he had felt the day King Vegeta had sentenced him to leave. "After you disappeared, I went searching for you. I guess I was bored and needed something fun to do, so I disregarded your father's wishes and went searching for you. Obviously I didn't cover my tracks to well because about a week into my search you father personally came to my house and arrested me for disobeying the monarch. I don't know what that means exactly, but anyhow he threw me in jail. Well, not long after, I was put on trial and sentenced to exile. So now I am here..." Goku sad, a hint of pain filtering through his rich voice, his head hung low.
"Pah!" Vegeta grunted, obviously amused with Goku's sad tale. "You disobey my father and all you get is exile? That's surprising...I would've thought he would have tortured you first."
"Well he did do one thing," Goku said, even more quiet than before. It was almost a whisper. Goku was slouched over, and I seemed as tears were welling up in his eyes.
"What was is?" Vegeta asked, his eyebrow raising and a small smirk growing on his attractive face. He liked the thought of Goku in pain.
"Hh..he," Goku began, struggling to get the words out. "He cut my tail off..." and with that Goku broke down into tears.
"What?!" Vegeta yelled, outraged. Although Goku wasn't Vegeta's favorite guy, he didn't think any Saiyan deserved to have their most powerful object, their tail, taken away. It was such a disgrace to not have a tail. :: Torture- that's one thing, but cutting off his tail! That's terrible.:: Vegeta clutched the fluffy tail wrapped around his waist under his garments; the thought of it being cut off almost made him sick.
But he wasn't about to tell Goku that he didn't agree that his father's punishment was terribly wrong. "Stop blubbering you fool." Vegeta said, nudging Goku with his foot. "I'll keep your little secret, as long as you tell me what the hell you are doing with that human girl. What were you doing there all last night?"
When Chi Chi was mentioned, Goku smiled a little, his heart lightened a little. "Well, first of all, you have to admit she is beautiful," Goku giggled childishly, and Vegeta slightly cocked his head, not giving a damn about how good Chi Chi looked. "And with a little research I discovered that Chi Chi is one of the strongest women on earth, and I thought she might be a good sparring partner."
"Yes fool, but why were you just crawling out of her window? Did you sleep with her?" Vegeta questioned sternly.
"Of course not!" Goku gasped. He hadn't even thought of Chi Chi without her clothes on yet; let alone actually sleeping with her. "She was just upset last night, and she asked me to stay with her. We mostly talked all night, and later she fell asleep in my arms," Goku explained.
Vegeta began to think, and mumbled a quick, "I see." A confused Goku, however, interrupted his thoughts.
"Vegeta, I understand why you brought me here to talk to me, and I understand all of you questions. But what I don't understand is why YOU are here," Goku said frankly. "I mean, why would you run away from a luxurious life to live here?"
Vegeta didn't answer. He only looked past Goku, snickering evilly, with a faraway look in his eyes.
"Vegeta?? Vegeta....."
A/N- hmmmm, I wonder why Vegeta ran away to earth. I guess you guys will just have to keep reading and see later. So go review and tell me what you think, and I just wanted to make sure everyone got the point that Vegeta still has his tail, he just hides it around his waist under his clothes...thanks for reading and reviewing! Have a great weekend!
