Act 9
"Chichi, he hates me!", said Bulma to her best friend.
Closing her locker, Chichi turned to Bulma, "Why? What happened last night Bulma?"
"Well, I went to his house to you know, thank him for what happened yesterday and do you know what he told me?"
"Oh, god", murmured Chichi expecting something cruel that Vegita had said.
"He told me that he hadn't done that for me and not to take it personal", said Bulma indignantly.
"Bulma, that's what he says to you. What, do you think he's gonna admit that he cares a lot about you and did that to protect you from Yamcha? Come on, we both know how Vegita is", said Chichi matter-of-factly.
"No, Chi, that's not all he said. I was beginning to think like you until he mentioned Marylin. I mean, I didn't think he liked her that much!"
"So, you mean that he said that what happened yesterday…when he beat Yamcha to his shit it was to avenge what Yamcha had done to Marylin?" Chichi could not believe it, "Bulma, I really don't know what to say".
"There's nothing to say Chichi. I had thought that maybe, maybe Vegita wasn't half as bad as I thought he was. I mean, I had actually started to like the guy again. But this just proved that Vegita is as cruel as the devil himself can be and he's just so damn good at hurting my feelings", Bulma declared shaking her head, still unable to believe the words that Vegita had uttered last night.
"Bulma, look, when he comes back to school, you have to be twice as cruel as he was to you; don't take any more bull from him and make him know that you got a life of your own and can care less about him', said Chichi.
"That's exactly it, Chi. I can be just as nasty as he is".
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Man, Goku, if you like the girl, just tell her you do", said Tien to his friend.
"You think I haven't told her like a thousand times! Is like, sometimes I think she's really into me and then some other times is like I don't exist for her, I don't know, I don't think I've ever liked a girl this much", said Goku letting out a sigh.
"True, I don't think I've ever seen you like this man. Maybe she's gonna be the one. You know, the real thing", said Jay.
"Yeah, well, let's see if she'll want to come to the Spring Dance with me," said Goku.
"Yeah, speaking of Spring Dance? What girls are we taking?" asked Krillin.
'Well, you should know who you're taking, K", grinned Jay. They all knew about Krillin's lover-girl, Marron, courtesy of Vegita and Tien.
"Don't even mention her", said Krillin.
"Why what happened. You two seemed good together and were getting along nicely", said Goku.
"Yo, Tien, speed down, there's a cop hiding right by the bushes", said Jay, "sorry, K, tell us what happened".
"I don't know. Last night we went to my place and you know. But like I woke up at three in the morning and she had left me a note saying that she had a good time and everything but that she didn't want to get attached to me and that she wanted to see other people. So now I'm like, Okay, what the hell happened?" said Krillin.
"Sounds like a slut to me", said Tien.
"And a real big one", agreed Goku.
"At least you had a good time, man", grinned Jay.
"Cant lie about that!" laughed Krillin.
"Nah, but seriously, who are we planning to take to the dance", asked Tien.
"Well, let's start with you Tien. Spill it, who is it you got the hots for?" asked Goku.
Tien blushed and shook his head.
"Come on man, say it!" Jay egged on.
"Alright!" shouted Tien.
All three guys waited.
"Well?.." asked Krillin.
"Ok. None of you say this to anybody else. I think I might have it fro Launch".
There were ooooooh's and aaaaaaah's inside the jeep and lots of hoots and roars.
"Alright, alright! Shut it up!" said Tien laughing, "how bout you Jay?"
"I don't know man, it's like I wanna like somebody, but who?" said Jay.
"Don't worry about that man, I'll make sure I get you a girl that you're really gonna like!" said Krillin.
"For real, man? Thanks, I appreciate that", said Jay.
"Yeah, I just need you to do me one favor", said Krillin.
"Sure, anything man, what is it?"
"Can I ask your sister to the dance?" asked Krillin.
"WHAT! Man, are you serious?" asked Jay.
"Well, she's nice and she's cute…" said Krillin.
"Okay, I don't need to hear the rest", said Jay disgusted, "I don't know man. Is like, you my friend and every thing but I know you and I don't know if I could trust you with my sis".
"Aw, come one Jay, is only for a dance, is not like he's asking her to the prom dance!" said Tien laughing.
"Yeah, but hopefully, if things work out between them, they will go to the prom together!" said Jay alarmed.
"Come on, Jay, your sister's old enough to know how to handle guys. And I'm sure she's been with worse guys than Krillin", said Goku.
"Yeah, well, I guess you're right", said Jay, 'but you better get me that date".
"Guys, what's the name of Vegita's street again?" asked Tien.
"Sunnyside Street, house number 777", said Goku.
"Well, we're here, let's just hope He's in a good mood, which I doubt", said Tien.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Woa, Bulma, what he said to you is so grimy and I would never forgive him for that!" said Launch.
"Yeah, I would have smacked him so hard that all he would have had left was half of his face. I would have smacked that too", said 18.
"thanks for being the bestest friends, you guys. But now, let's talk about the dance. Chichi, I think you should stop giving Goku a hard time and just say yes to him. I mean, the guy is so crazy about you", smiled bulma as Chichi blushed.
"Is true Chichi, I mean, we all know that you've got it for him, who would have evr thought!" said Launch.
"I don't know you guys. Goku's so different from all the other guys. Like so sweet and so so innocent. I mean, he hasn't changed one bit since I went with him to the prom when we were in seventh grade. I still don't know why it didn't work out between us that night. But I guess we were still pretty young and immature and right then, we were better off being friends. He's goofy and all, but he always says the right things to me; he's got the heart of a little boy and I know he'll treat me well, but sometimes I think he wouldn't take a relationship seriously. I mean, what does he take seriously other than food!" said Chichi rolling her eyes.
"Damn, Chichi, give the guy a break. You haven't even gone out with him and you're already thinking about a serious relationship", said 18.
"Is true, you're right 18, it's just that I feel that he's the one, you know? The real thing", said Chichi smiling.
"Go for it Chi, you guys deserve each other", said Bulma.
"Yeah, now it's time figure who the rest of us are gonna go with to the dance", said 18.
"Why, 18, why you sound so put off?", asked Launch.
"Nothing", said 18 shaking her head.
"Aw, come on 18, you can tell us", urged Bulma.
"Ok. I really don't want anybody to know. So, why don't we go some place quiet", suggested 18.
"My place", said Bulma.
The girls picked up their books and left to the parking lot, which was kind of empty. Everyone left early on Fridays to plan out their weekend.
"Hey, where do you think the guys went?" asked Launch.
"I don't know, but they left pretty early, wonder what they're up to", said 18.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"You gotta look for a job! But Vegita, that's the worse thing that can happen to you!" yelled Goku.
"No, Kakarot, the worse thing that happen to me is that if I don't get a job, I have to go to boarding school", said Vegita furious.
'Well, at least you'll be away from your parents…" started Tien.
"NO! All-Boys Academy in Switzserland", said Vegita.
There were gasps, the guys raised their eyebrows and felt sorry for their friend, for that was the biggest and most horrible tragedy that could happen to a guy. An all guys academy with no girls, whatsoever.
"Man, we're gonna help you find a job, no matter what it takes", said Jay.
"Yeah, man. We're with ya", agreed Krilin.
"So this is what they say that's good about having 'friends'?" smirked Vegita. His way of saying thanks.
"So man, tell us, are you gonna ask her to the dance?" asked Tien.
"Ask who to the dance?" asked Vegita.
"Bulma, aren't you guys together right now?" asked Goku.
"Me and her? Together? If this about the thing yesterday, it was all bullshit", said Vegita picking up some car magazines lying on the floor.
"What? But we thought you guys had it going on fro a while there yesterday", said Jay.
"Look, I don't want anything with that girl and all of you know it since we were in eighth grade, so just shut it up about it. Yesterday I needed to fix up some unfinished business with the son of a bitch, so it had nothing to do with the woman", said Vegita crossing his arms as if signaling the end of the conversation.
"So, who are you planning to take to the dance next week Friday?" asked Tien.
"I don't know, how about you, all of you know who you're taking?" asked Vegita smirking.
"Yeah, I'm gonna ask Chichi", said Goku.
"Yeah, well, good luck with that", said Vegita under his breath. They all heard it.
"Who are you goin with, Tien?" asked Vegita, aware that Tien liked launch. He didn't know how he'd come up with tha conclusion, but sometimes he just knew stuff. He was not surprised by Tien's answer.
"Well, I got a thing for Launch", said Tien, 'so I'm gonna ask her and see how's it gonna turn out".
"You?" asked Vegita looking at Jay.
"I don't know who, but Krillin promised me a date if I let him go with my sister", said Jay.
"Your sister, I thought you had a girl already", said Vegita, remembering well the girl Krillin had been with the other day.
'Yeah, well, things didn't really work out", said Krillin shrugging, "18's way better looking, though, so, no big loss".
"True", they all said, save Jay.
"So, Vegita, tell us, who're you thinking of taking to the dance?" asked Goku.
"I don't know, but some girl will ask me before Monday', said Vegita arrogantly, causing his friends to roll their eyes. But they all knew Vegita wasn't the type to ask girls to such things as a Spring Dance.
The phone in Vegita's room rang. Tien picked it up.
"Hey, who's this?" He heard the female voice on the other end of the line and then handed the phone to Vegita.
"It's for you. Sounds very, very sexy", said Tien in a whisper. All the guys listened as Vegita took the phone.
"What" Vegita's famous way of answering the phone regardless of who it was.
"Vegita?" said the female voice at the other end.
"Yeah, who the hell?" asked Vegita.
"I've been watching you for a while and I've been wondering if you'd wanna go to the dance with me?" asked the voice.
"I don't usually go with girls unless I know what they look like" said Vegita dully.
"Well, why don't I surprise you? I mean, you'd be surprised at how much a girl can have and can give you", the girl smiled, knowing this had sounded convincing.
Vegita raised and eyebrow, jumping in at any chances that showed promise.
"Well, what's your name?" asked Vegita, suddenly interested in this weird conversation.
"Umm, I think we should also leave that to be a surprise", said the girl.
"Where do we meet", it wasn't a question, more like he accepted her invitation.
"How about I go by your house?" suggested the girl.
'I'm assuming you've stalked me enough to know where a live", said Vegita.
The girl laughed charmingly, "Let's just say I'm really, really into you".
"It's a rap, then", Vegita said as he hung up.
"Who was it?" asked Jay.
"How should I know, she didn't even give me her name. Said she'd leave it as a surprise", said Vegita.
"You're gonna take some girl which you don't even know what she looks like?" asked Tien incredulously.
"She promised me", said Vegita smirking.
"Ah, then you're definitely up to it!" said Krillin.
"Yes I am", said Vegita taking the remote as they all sat down to watch the new movie Red Eye.
Who the hell was that? And did she sound so familiar? The thought nagged Vegita all throughout the movie.

"Hey, looks like the guys are at Vegita's", said 18 as she saw Tien's jeep parked in front of Vegita's house.
"Maybe we should go and see what they're doing", said Launch.
"No! That wouldn't be a good idea", said Chichi as Bulma frowned.
"Oh, um, right", said Launch as she remembered things were kind of foggy between Bulma and Vegita.
"That's okay you guys, if you want you could go ahead and go, I'll stay in my house and start baking the ingredients for that cake we talked about", said Bulma.
"I'll stay with Bulma, you two go ahead", said Chichi.
"Well, we wont take long, we just wanna see what they're doing and if they got a good movie", said Launch.
"Yeah, we'll be right back", said 18.
Bulma and Chichi went to Bulma's house. Launch and 18 walked to Vegita's front door and rang the doorbell.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Who the fuck is that?" said Vegita annoyed. Moments before, he had taken the remote to watch the movie and Kakarot had said they should go get some food. Later the dvd player wouldn't work; now that they'd managed to fix it the door bell rang.
"Tien, go open the door", said Vegita.
"What if it's your father, I mean, you're not allowed to have visitors, right?" asked Jay.
Vegita seemed to think for a while. Then he shrugged, "That's not my father because he doesn't ring the doorbell. He's got his own set of keys and anyway, he works late on Fridays. The earliest he'll come is maybe three thirty".
Tien and Jay opened the door.
"Man, what took you so long to open the damn door!"said 18.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Tien.
"Oh, we decided to come to Bulma's house and we saw your car parked there so we thought we'd come in and see what you guys were up to", said 18.
Jay gestured for them to go upstairs to Vegita's room.
"Hey, Vegita, we got company!" said Jay.
"Great", Vegita said sarcastically.
"Why you guys never invite us to your Friday Movies?" asked Launch.
"Cause Fridays are our days, just like Sundays are you shopping days", said Tien.
"So what are you guys watching?" asked 18.
"Red Eye", said Vegita tonelessly.
'Oh my gosh, really!" gasped Launch.
"but that's new, that's still in theaters, or is it a bootleg?" asked 18.
"Nope, it's blockbuster bootleg, you know, blockbuster always gets the new releases even before it's out of theaters", said Goku.
"So, how did you guys get it?" asked Launch.
"Radditz and Turles both work at Blockbuster and they hooked us up with the…oh shit…that's it!" exclaimed Goku. Everyone raised their eyebrows.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, Kakarot?" asked Vegita.
"Vegita that's it! Your job thing is solved. You can work there at blockbuster!"
"And who the hell is gonna give me a job there?" asked Vegita crossing his arms.
"Uh, hello, Radditz is like, the Manager!" Goku said matter-of-factly.
'You're right, Kakarot. As a matter of fact, get the phone and call him and tell him my situation', said Vegita.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"So, I think we should go to the movies tomorrow night, I've been dying to watch that new movie Red Eye", said Bulma taking out the eggs and putting them on the counter.
"I know. How about we all sleep over here tonight and tomorrow we sleep late, take the whole afternoon and get pretty and like around seven we all go to the movies?" suggested Chichi.
"Sounds like a plan!" said Bulma.
The phone rang.
Bulma picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Bulma", said the male voice.
"Jake, hey, how's it goin!"
"It's going good. Hey, I've been wanting to talk to you".
"About?"
"Well, you know about the whole thing yesterday, you, that guy and Vegita? I was kind of wondering why you didn't tell me you two were involved?"
"Oh, Jake, that was all bull. I mean, Vegita and I did that to make Yamcha feel stupid, but honestly, there is absolutely nothing between me and Vegita"
"Are you sure? Because I don't want to get in the middle of things, you know?"
"Ask Vegita yourself, if there was something going on between us he'd tell you where to go, but really, Jake, what happened yesterday, it was all a façade".
"Well, sweetie, if you put it like that, I'm assuming that our date still stands?"
Bulma had completely forgotten that her date with Jake had been set for that Friday.
"Oh, yeah, of course it's still on. Pick me up at seven thirty?"
"Sure thing, hun. I'll see you then".
"Ok, bye!"
"Oh my gosh, had you forgotten you had a date with Jake!" asked Chichi, who had heard the whole conversation through the other phone.
"Yeah, I had totally forgotten about that, but thank god I had already thought of what I was gonna wear, so, I've got nothing to worry about", said Bulma.
"Oh my gosh, Bulma Chi, you guys have got to come over!" screamed Launch bursting in to Bulma's kitchen.
"Launch, what is it?" asked Bulma.
"The guys got the movie we've been dying to see!" shrieked 18.
"Wow, wait…you don't mean…" started Chichi unbelievingly.
"Yes, they've got Red Eye", said Launch and 18 at the same time.
"Oh, I am so there!" shouted Chichi.
"But Chi…" started Bulma.
"Oh, come on Bulma, is not like you're gonna be talking to him, just stick with me and watch the movie, he's not gonna care", said Chichi trying to convince her friend.
"Look, Chi, you guys can go ahead and watch the movie, I'll just stay here. Besides, I've gotta get ready for my date", said Bulma.
"But Bulma, it wont be the same without you…wait you got a date?" asked Launch.
"Oh, yeah, with that hot guy Jake Jackson, right?" said 18 winking her eye.
"But, Bulma, watching the movie wont be the same without you, please!" begged Chichi.
"Guys, I'm not going, besides, Vegita told me he didn't want to cross paths with me so I'd better stay away from his territory. If you guys watch the movie today, though, you'll still have to come with me tomorrow night to the movies and watch it with me, k?" said Bulma.
"Okay, Bulma, but if you change your mind, just come over, okay?" said Chichi, knowing that would never happen.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Vegita, he said you got the job, and all you gotta do is come tomorrow morning and fill out the papers, you know, hiring routine, but the job is yours", said Goku after hanging up the phone.
"Ok, that's what's up", said Vegita, glad that now he didn't have to go out and ask for a job.
"Ok, Chichi's here! Let's watch the movie", said 18 walking into the room with Launch and Chichi.
"Wait, where's Bulma?" asked Goku.
"Um, she had to stay, she has to… get ready for a date she has, you know how long she takes to get ready", said Chichi.
The guys shrugged, save Vegita who raised his eyebrow and then frowned. He didn't know what bothered him more, the fact that she hadn't come because she was obviously mad at him, or the fact that she had a date with someone. Maybe I was a little too harsh with her last night. Fuck, I didn't even mean that
"This movie is not playing until one of you go get the woman", said Vegita crossing his arms.
It was everybody's turn to raise their eyebrows.
"But Vegita, I thought you said you didn't wanna see her ag-
"You heard what I said Chichi, she doesn't come nobody watches the movie. So tell her that she better be here or else nobody's watching the movie and it will be her own fault.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Chichi, what are you doing here, are you guys watching the movie?" asked Bulma seeing Chichi as she walked in.
"Vegita wont play the movie unless you go", said Chichi smirking.
"What? What the hell has gotten in to him?" asked Bulma.
"I dot know, but maybe he wants to apologize for what he said to you last night", said Chichi.
"Or maybe he just cant stand the fact that I really don't wanna be around him", said Bulma.
"Come on, Bulma, he was mad, his father threatened to send him to the All-Boys Academy in Switzerland, you just happened to be there at the wrong time last night", reasoned Chichi.
"Look, that is no excuse for what he- His father threatened to send him to that academy in Switzerland?" asked Bulma disbelievingly.
"Put yourself in his shoes, Bulma, I'm sure he had a reason to be mad at the whole world last night", said Chichi, 'so please, let it slide and come watch the movie. It's early and you'll have time to get ready for your date".
"Okay, I'll go, but as soon as the movie's done, I'm out", said Bulma.
'Okay, let's go", urged Chichi grabbing Bulma's hand and leading her out the house.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"So Tien, weren't you gonna ask Launch something?' Jay asked Tien in a low voice, Tien blushed.
"Sshh, I'll do it in my own time, ok?" he told Jay.
'Yeah, well, I'm getting impatient, you better do it now that she's looking at those magazines in the corner, or I'll ask you the same question loud enough for her to hear, and we both know that would embarrassing", warned Jay.
"You blackmailer", said Tien standing up and walking towards Launch.
"Hey", he said.
"Oh, hey Tien", smiled Launch looking up from the magazine.
"Like cars?" asked Tien noticing the magazine she was looking at.
"Yeah, but I'm more into motorcycles", said Launch.
"Really? So am I', said Tien, although motorcycles brought him bad memories of the accident that had caused him the scar in his left thigh.
"You ride?" asked Launch.
"Used to. I stopped when I had this accident last year", said Tien.
"Oh yeah, that. I remembered when we all went to the hospital that night when the big Mac truck crashed on you. Must have been horrible', said Launch.
'Yeah, well, I got the scar to remind me of it", said Tien.
"Oh. So, are you thinking about riding again?", asked Launch.
"Yeah, whenever I get behind the wheel, I feel like it's not my thing, you know, so I miss my bike a lot. I'm thinking about selling the jeep and buying a bike with the money I get from it", said Tien.
Launch nodded, 'I would do that, too".
"So, Launch, are you thinking about going to the dance next Friday?" asked Tien.
Launch smiled, "Yeah, I wanted to go, but nobody has asked me".
Tien raised his eyebrows, "well, then, how would you like it if I asked you to go with me?" asked Tien.
"Pick me up at Bulma's house", said Launch.
"Done", smiled Tien.
"Okay, people, she's here!" hollered Chichi as she burst into the room.
"Hey Bulma, Vegita here thought that it wouldn't be the same if you weren't watching the movie with us", said Goku grinning.
"Yeah, sure", said Bulma under her breath.
Vegita rolled his eyes, "that's it, I'm popping it in, no pausing no rewinds until the movie's over so shut it up and whoever didn't use the bathroom, hold it".
That was a pretty long chapter peoples. I had 2 do it that long since I haven't written in the longest. SOOO SORRY, you guys know, school starting and stuff but keep sending in reviews, plz!
