Vegeta sat with Bulma for five hours until she finally opened her eyes. Vegeta walked over to the tank and opened the door. The liquid spilled out onto the floor. Vegeta caught Bulma in his arms as she fell out of the tank.
"Vegeta? Where am I?"
"You're in the recovery room. Remember? You were stupid to, what ever it is you were trying to do at ten times earths normal gravity! What where you thinking? You could have been killed!"
"I…I…I don't know. I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry if I scared you Vegeta. I scared myself. I don't know what I was thinking."
Bulma rested her head in her hands.
"I'm so stupid."
Tears started to fall from her eyes. Vegeta knelt down next to her and held her head in his hands. He ran his thumbs under her eyes, wiping away the tears.
"You're not stupid. I'm sure you had a good reason to do what you did."
Bulma stood up quickly.
"Oh my god. What day is it?"
Vegeta stood up next to her.
"Tuesday. Why?"
"What time is it?"
Vegeta looked at his watch.
"About one. Why!"
"Oh no! I told the doctor I would go and see Yamcha today at twelve forty-five!"
Vegeta sighed with disappointment.
Damn. She still likes him.
"I'll take you there. You'll get there quicker if I fly you then you would in a car."
Bulma looked at Vegeta, puzzled at this sudden show of kindness.
"Erm…Thanks Vegeta."
Vegeta put his arms round her waist and flew out the window. Bulma directed him to the hospital. It took them hardly anytime. Vegeta landed outside the hospital.
"I'll stay here. You go inside. Come out and get me when you're done."
"You sure you don't want to go home? I could ring you when I'm done if you want?"
"Nah it's ok."
Bulma smiled and then ran into the hospital. She looked at the signs above her head and took the turning to the Adult ward. She ran down the hall and into the ward. She walked up the desk. A young, blonde nurse looked at her.
"Can I help you?"
"Yeh. I'm here to see my…partner. Yamcha?"
"Oh yes. He's in room 45. Just done the corridor there."
"Thanks."
Bulma walked down a corridor to the left where the nurse had pointed to.
"42.….43...44.…45!"
Bulma quietly opened the door. Yamcha was sitting in his room watching the hospital T.V. He looked up and smiled when he saw Bulma.
"Hey babe."
Bulma walked up to Yamcha and curled her arms round his neck. Yamcha put his arms round her waist and held her close to him.
"I'm glad you came. I was going insane with boredom."
"I'm so happy you're ok. I was so scared that would get here and you would be……"
"Look babe, even if I do die, which I do admit, it looks like I will. You can always wish me back with the dragon balls! Right?"
"But…you've already been wished back once before."
"You can use the Namek dragon balls. It wouldn't be that hard. Not for you."
Bulma smiled and fell into his arms.
"I love you."
"I love you too Bulma."
Meanwhile-
Vegeta had crept round the outside of the hospital looking for Yamcha's room. He was on the ground floor, which Vegeta was thankful for so he didn't draw any attention to himself from the outside by having to fly. He carefully hid beside the window, using his acute sense of hearing to hear what was going on in Yamcha's room. Instead of having to see it and accidentally expose himself. He got there just as Bulma arrived in Yamcha's room. He cringed at every word. She still loved him. He still loved her. Vegeta had no chance. He powered up and sped back to Capsule Corp. He knew what he had to do.
Yamcha lifted his head as he felt a power increase nearby. Bulma looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
"I felt a ki out there."
"Oh it's probably just Vegeta going home. I told him he could."
"Vegeta?"
Yamcha slid away from Bulma on the bed.
"Why is Vegeta here?"
"He flew me here because I was late leaving."
"Why were you late leaving?"
"Because I had tried to use the GR myself and I had to go in the recovery tank and I was in there for five hours ok?"
"Oh
my god. Are you ok?"
"Yeh I'm fine. Vegeta looked after me."
Yamcha scowled.
"Oh come on Yamcha. It's a nice change. At least he's not being an arse to me!"
