Thank you for all of the reviews and sorry about the long delay, I've been on a holiday with no internet access, but I'm back I will be updating regularly. Hope you enjoy this chapter and don't forget to review.
"Man, this Marron babe is really good" said Krillin as he bobbed his head up and down to the music
"Hump" said Vegeta who although thought she had an excellent sing voice thought the song itself was absolutely appalling
"I don't know" put in 17 "sure she pretty but…"
"She's lip-syncing poorly" added Kayla
"How can you tell?"
Kayla tilted her head slightly before answering "I'm a back up singer, I can tell"
"Why would she have to lip-sync" asked Chichi
"For a number of reasons, maybe she has a bad throat, or maybe she's…"
"Not the one singing" said Vegeta as he pointed to the back of the stage, where Bulma stood with her eyes closed and who had somehow edged herself closer to the curtains.
"I knew it" said 17 "Yamcha is a dirty rotten…"
"Yeah yeah." Finished Vegeta as he waved his hand dismissingly, an idea slowly forming in his head. "What do you say we take a private tour of back stage?"
"What we can do that here" injected Goku "wow I thought that Yamcha didn't like us"
18 shook her head "we going to sneak back there…without permission"
Goku pouted. "But that's wrong"
Vegeta put what was suppose to be a friendly hand on Goku's shoulder but turned out to be more of a death grip "Yeah well pretending that that inflatable Barbie doll is actually singing is also wrong"
Goku hesitated "yeah I guess"
Turning to face Vegeta krillin said with a grin "at least is explains why she never sang in public"
Shaking his head again Vegeta turned to face Goku "kakarot lets go"
"Why me" muttered Goku as he followed Vegeta weave in and out of the shrieking fans
Bulma stood in her dressing room; ok it wasn't really a dressing room more like a bathroom…one that hadn't been cleaned in a look time. She thought as she took in the cobwebs above her head. Reaching for a ginger mix to sooth her throat she closed her eyes and wished to kami that things could get better.
"Move it" she heard someone whisper
"Its dark" she heard a second voice reply
The first voice spoke again but in an annoyed tone "You are a grown man Kakarot, your telling me your afraid of the dark"
"No…just unfamiliar dark places"
Bulma stood stock still with her face blinking at the door, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she heard of obsessed fans that attack the staff to get to the star and she didn't want to be one of them. Yanking open the door she turned to face the direction of the two men, who she could only see the outline of.
Place one hand on her hip she yelled "What are you doing her"
"Be quiet do you want us to get caught" she heard a voice yell
"Vegeta" said the other voice warningly
"Just move".
A lot of stumbling could be heard before Bulma was shoved back into the bathroom with the two men.
"Hey Vegeta" the taller man said a he tapped the shorter one on the shoulder
"It's her"
"Her" said Vegeta as he turned to look at her "Oh her"
"Told you"
Vegeta eyebrow twitched in annoyance turning to examine this women he saw that she was very attractive, long blue hair and light blue aqua eyes.
"I am Vegeta Ouji from Ouji records and this is my associate Kakarot son"
Putting one hand behind his back meekly Kakarot said "You can call me Goku"
"That's all well and good, but what the hell are you doing here" she shouted
A wide grin appeared on Goku's face "We want to sign you"
"Really" said Bulma as a wide grin appeared on her face but then quickly dissolved "Did Yamcha pay you to play this sick joke on me, he knows I can't go anywhere"
"Yamcha" Vegeta all but spat "as if I would have anything to do with that pathetic excuse for a business man". Bulma eyed him closely he didn't look like anyone Yamcha would do business with, for Yamcha didn't do business with anyone more attractive than him, and these two men where certainly more attractive than him. Plus the shorter one although had some sort of anger problem if not arrogance spoke with eloquence, something that couldn't be associated with the short words of Yamcha's speech.
"Ok fine you're really from Ouji records…but how did you find out about me"
Vegeta placed a smirk on his face that made Bulma's knees get weak "We make it our business to know the best out there"
"Look Mr Ouji and Son, I really would love to join your company, but unfortunately I have ties to…"
"Whatever his paying you we can double that"
"Look its not about the money…well it is but"
Goku moved closer to her and placed a hand on her shoulder "You can tell us"
Bulma took a deep breath and closed her eyes "It's just that Yamcha uses my salary to pay my father hospital bills, and I can't afford to wait till you see if my album starts to sell before I get paid I need the money"
"And Yamcha knows this"
"Yeah, and he uses this to keep me singing"
"I'm sure we can sort something out" said Goku "Right Vegeta"
"No"
"What" said Bulma and Goku together
"This is what we are going to do, you are going to quit this job and come work for us. I will loan you the money until you can afford to pay it back. Until then you will also be doing additional job for my company"
"That seems fair" said Bulma "I guess I'll quit right after the concert"
"Be quick about it, me and my other associates will be waiting at the side of the arena"
"So how did it go" asked Chichi as Marron came back on stage
"Vegeta was great, he didn't lose his temper or nothing" replied Goku with a goofy grin
"There's still time" muttered 18
"I heard that" said Vegeta as he turned to watch Bulma (He finally asked her name) she had a wide grin on her face and the joy she felt was evident in the song, which Vegeta though with a smirk was quite entertaining, considering the song was a ballad, one of those soppy love songs that Vegeta couldn't stand. A lot of things needed to change thought Vegeta as he stared at Bulma she looked more like Marron with the blue colouring, although you could tell Bulma's was real the media would have a field day thinking that Ouji records had copied Yamstar records. The pure thought of knowing that Yamcha was about to go into ruins left an even deeper smirk on Vegeta's face, it was about time Yamcha remembered his place.
"What was that about" yelled Yamcha as he paced in front of Bulma "You were suppose to be sing a ballad, why did it come out as some sort of pop crap"
"Yeah" put in Marron "Are you trying to make me look bad?"
"You're doing fine by yourself" said Bulma suddenly
"What" asked a shocked Marron
"That's right; I'm not taking anymore crap from you... I quit"
Yamcha turned and looked at Bulma before laughing "Yeah right, just get on the bus and I'll deal with you later"
"No" shouted Bulma as she stood her ground "Its over, I've had enough"
"What and I suppose your fathers treatments have finished"
"No, I've just had enough" said Bulma as she pushed her way passed Yamcha
Yamcha grabbed her hand and pushed her back roughly so that she fell onto a heap on the floor "I own you, you can't leave"
Bulma hoisted herself up and stared into the brown orbs of Yamcha "You never owned me" she spat
"Don't push me Bulma"
"Or what"
"Or I'll push back"
Bulma opened her arms "Go on then" Yamcha hesitated. "You always were a coward" Bulma said for the last time before she walked past him
"Yamcha what are we going to do"
"Shut it Marron" shouted Yamcha as he ran a hand through his long hair, taking out his cell phone he dialled a number "I'm ready to talk about a merger…"
P.S: sorry if there are any spell mistakes, I will correct them .
How is Vegeta going to try and change Bulma? Will he succed? What merger is Yamcha talking about? And is it really over for Yamstar records? i guess you'll just have to wait and see.
Review NOW!
