Chapter 10: Fading

Bulma awoke from her bed, looking at the clock she realized that it was almost ten O'clock. Rubbing her head she climbed out of bed and walked over to the bathroom and jumped in the shower, thinking to herself about what had happened the previous day.

"What was going on with him?" she said aloud as she turned on the shower.

The water shot out and bulma removed her clothes and jumped in. Bulma began washing her hair and thought about Vegeta again. "Could it be possible that he was fading back?" she thought. "Why was he so quickly, how could one minute he be fine. Than the next act like he was?" shrugging her shoulders Bulma climbed out of the shower and into some new clothes.

She brushed her hair and teeth and put on some shoe's and decided that maybe she should stay away from him till she could figure it out.

Walking out the door Bulma headed for the food court and ordered some breakfast. Slumping down in the booth she starred off wondering what to do about it, but before she could think more on the subject her food arrived, and so do the Prince.

"Hey Bulma!" Vegeta said with a smile.

Bulma almost choked on the egg's she had just put in her mouth. "Pr...prince Vegeta!" she cried.

"Well who else dummy!" he chuckled and sat opposite of her in the booth.

Starring at him Bulma noticed he was different, not like the day before. Where he threatened her life, but kind she didn't expect this.

"Vegeta, are you okay?" asked Bulma.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" he answered.

"Well what happened yesterday than?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" he answered.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT DO I MEAN?" Bulma raised her voice.

Everyone around her was shocked, though they had seen Bulma raise her voice to Vegeta before but they dare not think Bulma would do it again. They thought, what does she have a death threat?

Bulma tipped her head down to Vegeta's eye level, "maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore Prince Vegeta." Bulma said quietly. His face turned from carefree to horror. He shot up and everyone turned there attention to them.

"But why not Bulma? I thought we were having a great time!" Vegeta shouted.

"We were Vegeta, but now it's time we stopped. I mean I have to go home sometime you know." she said.

"I know, but while you're here I thought we would be the best of fr..friends!" tears started forming at Vegeta's eye's. Everyone watched as the Prince of Saiyan's began to cry like a baby. Bulma thought to herself, man, never thought I would be the guy. Vegeta grew to his feet and ran off like Bulma had told him to drop dead. (Well in a sense she did). Bulma saw the many angry eye's of Saiyan's around her, she gave a unassuming smile and ran after Vegeta, trying to calm him down.

"Vegeta, Vegeta wait!" Bulma cried out but the Saiyan Prince continued running.

"Vegeta!" Bulma tried once again but he fell out of her sight.

Bulma slumped down on a nearby bench. "Man, I'm not even that sensitive and I'm a girl! What's his excuse?" Bulma said aloud.

Suddenly about five Saiyan's ran passed Bulma quickly, lifting her head up Bulma over heard one of them say that Prince Vegeta tried to commit suicide. Bulma's eye's stocked. "What?" cried Bulma, "over me not wanting to be friends with him anymore. What is he crazy?" Bulma jumped to her feet and headed after the Saiyan's as they ran to Prince Vegeta's room. Pushing guards out of the way Bulma saw Vegeta lying on the floor, with to deep gashes out of both his wrists. She dropped to the floor calling out his name.

Vegeta laid there as the doctor's hurried to stop the bleeding, 'He might not make it." said one of the doctor's. Bulma through her head up at started yelling, "What are you crazy? He's your Prince you have to save him!" she cried.

"I'm sorry miss, but there's a chance he will die from blood loss."

"But he can't die, I haven't gotten a chance to say I'm sorry!" cried Bulma.

All the doctor could do was sigh, "well we better get working." said the head doctor.

Bulma waited outside Vegeta's room as the doctor's worked for hours on trying to stop his bleeding. Bulma was really starting to feel bad for what she said. Man, this is all my fault. She thought, I hope Prince Vegeta pulls through.

Finally the doctor's left the room and Vegeta slept for about three hours. Bulma waited the whole time outside his room, til finally one of the nurses told her she could go inside and see him.

Bulma quickly jumped up and headed into his room, it was dark but peaceful in there. Bulma pulled back one of the sheet's in his room and saw his sleeping body lay there as she broke down into tears.

"Oh my Prince, I'm so sorry." she said. "See this is why we shouldn't be friends!" Bulma cried more on his bed. "I'm just not a good enough friend for you...Vegeta." Bulma had started sobbing louder.

"Ddd don't you think ttthat's for mm me to decide?" Vegeta said softy.

Bulma's head shot up "VEGETA!" she cried.

A smiled braised his face, "the one and only." he answered.

" Oh Vegeta I thought you died! I'm so glad your alive!" she screamed.

Vegeta tried to sit himself up and stop Bulma's tear's. He smiled as his hand touched her's, "well" he said.

"Well what?" asked Bulma.

Vegeta rolled his eye's but kept his smile, "are we still friends?" he asked.

"Of course dummy!" Bulma said as she jumped up to give him a hug.

"Where the best of friends!" she said.

Suddenly there was a large sound coming from the hallway, Bulma turned around and asked what it could be. Vegeta's eye's flatted. "I think I know" he said. Bulma turned her attention back to Vegeta, "who Vegeta?" she asked. But before Vegeta could answer in bursted the King of all Saiyan's, King Vegeta with tears streaming down his face.

"OH MY LITTLE BABY BOY!" cried King Vegeta.

Bulma couldn't believe her ears, turning over at Vegeta he just gulped. "Baby Vegeta?" she asked.

"Yeah" he answered.

"Are you okay son?" asked King V.

"I'm fine father, I don't need you caring on about it!" cried Vegeta.

Bulma couldn't believe this was the king of all saiyan's. Looking square at him he had a giant smile on his face.

"Oh son and who might this be?" he asked with a teasing tone.

"It's not what you think father, were just friends." answered Vegeta.

"Oh, is that all? And she's so beautiful too." he said in a pout like voice.

Bulma beamed, "wow, really you think I'm beautiful?" she said with big puffy eye's.

Grabbing her hands his smiled returned, "of course, I have always respected off-world beings. They always had so much more favor than your typical female Saiyan." Bulma blushed.

"Thank you" she said.

"Your welcome" answered the King.

Just than there was a loud crash at the front side of the castle. Suddenly King Vegeta changed from that happy go lucky guy to a real serious man. Bulma was impressed, well I can see where Prince Vegeta gets his attitude from. The King quickly turned to Bulma and screamed, "if you want to ever see your home planet again, you have to leave planet Vegeta now!" Bulma's eye's turned from happy to scared. She turned back and looked at Vegeta's who also had horror in his eye's. Than out of nowhere Bulma heard Prince Vegeta say.

"Don't go Bulma!"
