Chapter 9!
Lathayan – (Destiny watches as BIG thumbs go up and get stuck in the sky) Well, um…that's a pretty big problem. Good thing they aren't my thumbs! Other wise, I wouldn't be able to type this chapter up this quickly, eh? Thanks for the review! (Destiny's tiny thumbs get stuck between the letter keys on the keyboard)…Well that sucks.
i take people's whits – Hm… well, unless you burped in another language, I see nothing for you to excuse your self for. (Vegeta falls down unconscious while looking at 'Bulma'. He gets back up and falls unconscious again as he stares at 'Bulma' again. Destiny looks at 'Bulma') Hey, you're not Bulma! Ewww! (Yamcha is wearing a very revealing dress 'as if he has anything worth seeing' with a blue wig on, makeup, and a half empty beer bottle in his hand) "What are y-'Hiccup' you talking about? I am B-'Hiccup' Bulma." …That is just wrong. (Destiny kicks Yamcha in the balls and throws him out a window before Vegeta goes blind from looking at the ugly 'Bulma') Thanks for the review! ('Bulma' lands in Goku's arms) "Hey there, ha-'Hiccup' handsome." ('Bulma' kisses Goku on the lips. Goku screams and drops dead.)
sabudabu – I probably would too. But hey, that's the worlds problem, not yours! I would take those superpowers without hesitation! I um, I mean, 'we' shall rule the world! Hahahahah-'cough'. Thanks for the review! (Destiny accidentally sits on the self-destruction button.) …Oh darn.
StormScarred – Since you are so easily amused, that makes my job easier, doesn't it? Well, here's the update you wanted, but could I still suffer the consequences? Pleasssssse? (A garbage can containing the screaming Crystal came rolling down the hill until it bumped into Destiny. Angry with somebody disturbing her plea to Storm, Destiny kicked the can into a river where it fell off a waterfall. 'Did I mention there are a lot of pointy rocks at the bottom of the waterfall?') Thanks for the review! Your reviews make me so happy, that I don't have to buy reviews from some random person living on the street, just to make me feel important.
vbchickVLVR – (Destiny inserts explitive into booty) 'boexplitiveoty'. Na, they won't complain. One of my reviewers cussed and nothing happen to her. …Na, that's okay, I don't need to screw the population, which would only increase the population…wait… I'm a girl…that only works if I'm a guy. Oh well, but I don't mind volunteering to be the person who decreases it. Ya, I remember when Bulma pulled out the gun…that's why Yamcha isn't capable of reproducing anymore…She did the world a HUGE favor. Good, I'm happy that you have accepted that you CAN wait. The plan has fallen into place. (Destiny laughs like a maniac and then suddenly stops.) Did I even have a plan? Thanks for the review! The AIM E-mail thing still wont work. I don't know what my brother did to it. So theres no point in E-mailing me in that way anymore...You could, if you want, use my original E-mail address I guess. That one still wroks. Hey, at least I tried! I care! 'crickets' 'sigh'.
Mistral – Well, I'm happy that my pitiful attempts to entertain you have worked! I didn't really put any humor into this chapter, but the chapter is still important nonetheless! Thanks for the review! I hope my other chapters continue to entertain you!
inuneesan – "Go Bulma!" (Bulma looks confused but does as she is told and runs away.) "Keep it up!" (Bulma continues to run.) One of the best? Really? Hey, thanks! I didn't actually think my story would be such a hit with so many people! Thanks for the review! (Bulma suddenly appears behind Destiny and continues to run.) She ran around the world already?
naruto'sbabygirl – I'm glad that I'm able to entertain you with my pathetic attempt at a romance story! The best you've read? Wow, I'm honored! I hope I continue to keep you delighted with my story! Thanks for the review! Do my ears deceive me? Is that the sound of happiness knocking on my door?
riachan – I'm funny? Cool! (Destiny says a joke) 'crickets' (Destiny tries again and says another joke) 'crickets' (Destiny sighs in defeat and walks away. Destiny suddenly trips and does a face planter to the ground) 'crickets laugh' Okay, so me suffering makes you laugh…Thanks for the review! (crickets continue to laugh) 'sob' Leave me alone you…you…you big meany heads! (Destiny runs to the crawl space under her house and lives with the rats forever) Hey, rat on a stick! My favorite!
After they were done shopping, they flew home. When they finished their dinner, Vegeta went to watch TV and Bulma headed outside. Vegeta turned off the TV when he could not find anything to his liking on and went to change into his swim shorts. He headed outside to the Jacuzzi and happened to see Bulma also using the Jacuzzi. Bulma smiled.
"Come on in, there's plenty of room."
Vegeta grunted and sat next to Bulma. They leaned back and looked at the stars. They sat silent for a while until Bulma spoke.
"Do you miss were your from?"
"I wasn't on the planet long enough to miss it."
"Oh."
"Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Just wondering. I mean, being the only survivor left from that planet except Goku must be very lonely."
"I'm not lonely, I prefer to be alone."
"I can't stand to be alone for too long."
"You mustn't depend on others."
"I know, but I'm the only one besides Gohan that's supposed to survive the androids when they come and Gohan dies later on. I don't know how I survived by myself then and I don't know how I'm going to survive when it happens here. I don't want any of my family and friends to die and that includes you."
Vegeta was shocked at what she said about him.
'She considers me as a friend?'
"Do you really think of me as a friend?"
"Of course I do. You're the only one that understands me. I trust you before everyone else."
"I can destroy your planet with out lifting a finger and you trust me?"
"Yup."
She sat closer to him and Vegeta put his arm around her. She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
"This feels good…and safe. Good and safe."
Vegeta looked at her and then returned his gaze to the stars. For once in his life, he felt at peace. They sat there like that for what felt like an eternity. Bulma was starting to fall asleep.
"Come on, woman. Time for bed."
Bulma moaned a complaint, but did not budge. Vegeta sighed and picked her up and used his ki to dry them both off. He walked up to her fixed room and moved the covers of her bed away. He placed her on the bed and tucked her in.
"Hmmm, you're tucking me in."
"Yes."
He started to leave her room when she spoke to him tiredly.
"Hey, don't go. Stay."
Vegeta looked at her with surprise, but complied. He slipped his body under the covers and rapped his arms around Bulma. She instantly went to sleep. Vegeta was still staring at her while inhaling her scent. Just as he too was about to fall asleep, he whispered something he thought he would never say.
"Good night… Bulma."
He closed his eyes and dreamed of a certain blue haired woman.
> > > > >
The next day, Vegeta woke up a lot later then he usually did. He looked to his side, but found nobody there.
'Was it all a dream?'
He looked at his surroundings and knew this was Bulma's room. He got up and went to his room to change from his swim shorts to his blue spandex outfit. He smelled food and went down stairs to eat. When he got to the kitchen, he saw Bulma placing plates on the table.
"Morning sleepy head. Ready for lunch?"
"Humph."
As he grabbed his fill of food, he sat down and ate with Bulma. There was something different, but he could not put his finger on it. Then it hit him.
'The woman's cooking does not taste like shit!'He went wide-eyed and Bulma giggled.
"Glad you noticed."
"How could you learn how to cook in less then a day?"
"Actually, I already knew how to cook. It's just like mixing formulas in science. You were always complaining for me to fix you food and that left me less time in my lab so I thought if I cooked bad, you would eventually stop asking me to cook for you."
Vegeta grunted and continued to eat.
"Oh ya, and your GR is fixed and up dated."
"Someone's been busy this morning."
"I work faster when I'm in a good mood."
"Humph."
Bulma left to watch TV after she ate. Vegeta finished shortly after her and was heading to the living room when he heard the doorbell ring. As he entered the living room, he saw Bulma open the door. Crystal was holding a gun and shot at Bulma's chest. Crystal fled the scene and Bulma dropped to the floor. Vegeta rushed to her side and held her in his arms. She started to cough up blood. Vegeta put his hand over the wound to prevent it from bleeding. He picked her up and flew to the hospital. As he arrived there, he kicked open the door and rushed her to the front desk. The nurse told Vegeta to follow her. They placed her down on the bed and started to operate. Vegeta refused to leave the room and kneeled next to Bulma with her hand in his. They hooked up a blood transferor to her arm. They removed the bullet that was inches away from her heart and began to stitch her up. They cleaned the bloodstains off of her. The doctor walked up to Vegeta who was still holding on to Bulma's hand while staring at the floor with an expressionless face and spoke.
"She has loss a tremendous amount of blood. We've hooked up a blood transfusion to her arm in order to restock her blood supply."
Vegeta remained silent.
"Her chances of surviving are very thin. The only thing we can do now is pray and hope that she pulls thru."
Vegeta was still silent. The doctor sighed and left the room.
