Disclaimers: I disclaim
A/N: Ok! Here's where the mike's are held and voices are heard! Its time for karaoke! I finally got the story to be a little longer than usual, but that's probably b/c of the singing…
Vegeta landed, with me in his arms, holding me tightly. He said he wanted to fly to the bar, to "avoid traffic". He was wearing some Black baggy cargo pants, and one of his white shirts. Man, he looked hot…Anyway; we walked inside, and saw Raditsu waving us down.
"Where's Chi?" I asked, as Vegeta sat next to me.
Raditsu pointed to the stage, where Chi was singing her heart out to some random song that she apparently was making up as she went…(A/N: XD sorry Chi, couldn't help myself.)
"Um..." I stuttered as she sat next to Raditsu, giving him a somewhat evil glare. "What was that all about?"
"Ask Raddy-chan" She said, pointing to him with her thumb, as she brushed her hair out of her face.
"We were playing truth or dare, and I dared her to go up there and sing random stuff." Raditsu said, laughing.
Vegeta gave a small chuckle. "Wow, and I thought that was a real song, Chi." He said, jokingly
A slight growling came from Chi.
"Hey, are you gonna sing Vegeta?" Raditsu asked.
"No, I'm just here for Ericka…"
"Awww…how cute…See, that's the spirit." Raditsu said, patting Vegeta on the back.
"Huh?" Vegeta said, confused
"Doing stuff for your mate." Raditsu went on
"I told you she's not my—"
"Soon to be mate then?" Raditsu asked, cutting Vegeta off
Vegeta only looked at me. I looked at him back, then at Raditsu.
"What!" I said loudly, and a couple of people looked at me strangely
"Come on Ericka…Lets go get some drinks." Chi offered, starting to get up.
"Ok, then it's my turn to hit the stage." I said, following her.
"Awesome" She said
We went to the bar and got all of us some drinks, and I then went up on stage. I picked up the mike, and began to sing, with my heart racing as I saw Vegeta watching me. The music was by Savage Garden, Tears of Pearls.
And we stare each other down like victims in the grindProbing all the weakness
And hurt still left behind and we cry—
These tears of pearls
We do it. Oh, we do it.
Is love the really the tragedy the way you
Might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers
Still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry…
These tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world.
Your kisses are like pearls,
So different and so rare,
But anger stole the jewels away
And love has left you bare,
Made you cry…
These tears of pearls
Well I could be the tired joker pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness
Just so I could win
Maybe cry…
These tears of pearls
All these emotions
We keep locked away like
Stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all
The world
We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death…
The death of you
All these emotions
We keep locked away like
Stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all
The world
The crowd started clapping, as I took a small bow. Even though that was a guy song, I still sang it pretty well. Vegeta gave me a small smile that only I could see, and it made me happy. I knew my answer…but when could I tell him?
I sat down, and Chi flashed a huge smile my way.
"Phew…that's actually a long song!" I said
Chi giggled, and suddenly found her pushed up onto stage by none other than Raditsu.
.:RADDY! YOU'RE GONNA GET IT WHEN I'M DONE W/ THIS SONG:. She telepathically screamed to Raditsu, who was giving her a thumbs up. Chi took a deep breath, and started singing 'Into the Darkness' by Kittie
I feel helpless waiting.
Could this all be the end?
It´s all coming down all at once.
Am I losing you?
No Way Out!
Until this all crashes down, I´ll hold on.
you´re going to make this work
Into the darkness...not knowing at all...
you´re going to make this work
Are you out there waiting, wondering about me?
Never felt so alone as I do now.
No way out!
Until this all crashes down, I´ll hold on.
you´re going to make this work
Into the darkness...Not knowing at all
I´m just trying to make this work
Until this all crashes down, I´ll hold on.
Into the darkness...Not knowing at all
Until this all crashes down...
The crowd cheered tremendously. "Way to go Chi!" I yelled.
Chi smiled at everyone, and then sat down with us.
"Wow, that was amazing!" Raditsu said
"Really? You think s—Hey! You're just trying to get out of my beating for shoving me on stage!" Chi exclaimed
Chi started to raise her fist, but Raditsu quickly put his lips on hers, and, yeah, you guessed it. They started kissing.
"Vegeta…" I whispered
"What?" Vegeta asked, with his arm around my shoulders
"I know my answer"
"What is it?" He asked, really interested
I gave him a small smile. "I'll tell you when we get back to Capsule Corp., ok?"
"I guess…"
"Hey Chi," I said, smiling "Are you almost ready to go?"
"Yeah. I just want to do one more song before we leave. And then I want Raddy-chan to sing!" She exclaimed
Raditsu was nodding his head until he heard the last part. "WHAT!"
Chi and I laughed. Chi hopped back on stage after a few people and sang 'Can You Keep a Secret' by Utada Hikaru.

PLEASE. TRUST ME.
When he was finished, he came back to the table. "Ready?" He asked
We all nodded our heads, and went our separate ways.
"See you tomorrow, Chi!" I said, waving as Vegeta picked me up.
"Bye!" Chi waved back
"So, you have plans for tomorrow with her?" Vegeta asked while flying with me in his arms.
"Yeah, she agreed to help me find a place to live tomorrow." I said, smiling.
"You know you could always stay with me." Vegeta said, not looking at me.
I didn't say anything, and soon we arrived at Capsule Corp. Standing outside the door, Vegeta had his hands on my hips while I had mine resting around his neck and shoulders. "I love you…" I mumbled, as Vegeta stared at me softly
"So what's your answer?" He asked, calmly
"…Yeah." I said, quietly
Vegeta gave me a smile, which I've never seen coming from him. He would smirk, but never smile. We kissed for a long time, and then he finally let me go. I agreed to go "train" with him after me and Chi went out to do stuff. By the time I finally walked into the Capsule Corp., it was midnight. There, waiting for me, was an angry Bulma, who saw and heard everything that happened a few minutes ago on the porch with her hands on her hips…
UH OH! What's Bulma gonna do! Will Ericka "train" with Vegeta after all? Hmmm……..
