Author's message: I know i haven't update in along time, and to be honest i just forgot about the story and i don't know why because i'm loving writing it. Anyway i'm back and hoping to churn out as much chapters as possible during christmas. I would like to thank everyone that has read this story, and beg them to rekindle there interest in it. On to the story now...
Bulma ran quickly to the front of the area, a small bag clung tightly in her fist as if it was her life line. In the back of her mind she was scared she was waiting for this to all fall apart, maybe they wouldn't show and she'd be waiting by the front of the arena for ever, or maybe Yamcha would be waiting there with the guys to laugh, at what she thought was her one chance. Slowing down she forced herself to round the corner and let out a much needed breathe as she was confronted by a number of people.
"Oh is that her" asked a black haired woman to the man Bulma knew as Goku, he nodded and turned to look at her. Bulma froze, suddenly feeling insecure around all the peering eyes, and involuntarily clutched her bag to her chest.
"Ok enough staring" Vegeta snapped "let's get out of here"
"Yeah I'm hungry" Goku put in as he began to walk to the car park
"Are you coming" asked a blonde girl to Bulma
"Yeah sure"
The girl stared at her before titling her head in the direction they would be walking in "You can ride with me"
"Thanks"
"Don't mention it" she replied evenly "names 18" she stated and began to take long strides to the car park.
Bulma got out of the car in a daze, she was still reeling from sitting in a ford 615 (A/N: I made it up) one of the latest cars out right now. It had leather seats, a TV and stereo system and a mini bar which 18 began to raid as soon as she got into the car. The conversation was left to a minimum and Bulma realised that 18 wasn't much of a conversationalist and if she did talk her tone was always neutral. She also had a dry sense of humour which Bulma got the chance of seeing when her brother had called her and told her to speed up.
Currently Bulma was staring at the large building, turning to 18 she enquired "who lives here"
"We all do- Vegeta's parents own the building"
"Wow"
"Yeah" 18 responded as she rolled her eyes and began to walk into the building "were going up to Vegeta's apartment since it's the biggest, don't touch anything or speak until he directs a question to you"
"Why?"
"Vegeta doesn't know you, therefore he doesn't trust you, and therefore you are treated like filth until he decides otherwise"
"He can't do that can he?"
"Sure he can, he did it to all of us. It's the Vegeta way, and it's effective because that way people don't screw with us"
"If you say so"
"I do" nodded 18 as she pushed open the door to Vegeta's apartment
"What took you so long" shouted 17 as he sat in his usually place; the middle of Vegeta's black couch that extended around one corner of the room (A/N: you know the ones that I'm talking about, it can fit like 8 people on it.
"Get lost 17" shouted 18 as she took off her shoes and put it under the table with all the others, she then went to sit on one of the single leather chairs in the room.
Bulma noticed that it was far away from 17, before she too took of her shoes and walked over to where the gang were sitting.
"Hey Bulma" called out Goku as came into the room "hope you don't mind that I ordered you a plain cheese pizza"
"Its fine thank you"
He smiled before he took a seat on one side of 17, positioning himself so that his head was rested by the arm and his legs were a few inches away from 17 (A/N: like he was lying down). Chichi sat on the other side with her feet tucked under 17's leg and her head lying on the gold cushions. Kayla who had been talking to Vegeta in another room sat on a bean bag near 18's feet even though there was still lots of place on the couch, while Vegeta took the only other single leather chair left.
Feeling awkward Bulma pulled her arms around herself, not knowing where she fit into the picture.
"Take a seat" grunted Vegeta as he pointed to another bean bag near 18, Bulma ran to it as everyone in the room turned to stare at her as if they only now realised that she was in the room.
"So" said Chichi "what's your name"
"Bulma"
"Bulma hum" Chichi mused as she stared critically at her like a lioness to its prey "is that your natural hair colour"
"Yes"
"It's got to go"
"What? Why?" Bulma shouted as a hand shot up to her hair
"It's Marron's look, now"
"That bitch" hissed Bulma "I've got to change my look cause that bitch had to go rip of mine"
Shocked by her outburst Goku tried to calm down the situation "Its looks better on you"
Bulma turned to glare at Goku but was met with a goofy grin, causing all her anger to disperse
Turning to Chichi she finally relented "Fine what do you want to do"
"Give me some time to think about it, kay" Bulma nodded.
"What size are you" asked 18 suddenly
"10"
"Good, I'll work on outfits immediately" At the corner of her eye she swore she saw Vegeta shake his head
"What about your range" Kayla requested "can you sing soprano" Bulma nodded again
"I'll gonna have to work that into some songs"
"So you're finally writing songs now" asked 17 with a raised eyebrow
"What can I say Vegeta's very convincing" she replied dryly
17 smirked before turning to Bulma "can you dance"
"Dance" asked Bulma her voice coming out all high and squeaky
"Yes, you know move about in time with the rhythm"
"I-"
"Put some music on" cried Chichi as Goku got up and hit the radio on, before heading to the door to answer the bell
"Get up" 17 commanded "now I want you to move to the music"
"I can't"
"Sure you can!" Sang Kayla as she grabbed Chichi arm "watch us, then you and 17 copy"
Together Chichi and Kayla moved there hips in time to the music and twirled each other around.
"Now copy" said Chichi as Goku came in with boxes of pizzas
"I-" Bulma was cut of as 17 grabbed a hold of her hips to move it in time to the music "let's go of all you inhibitions and just feel" he muttered into her ear. She closed her eyes and began to move in time to the music not perfect but at least she had rhythm.
"See now that wasn't hard" came 18 cutting remark. Bulma's eyes opened and she smiled a genuine smile "I guess not"
"Now that is settled, let's eat" said Vegeta as he reached for the first box
It was a little after 5 that Bulma finally went to sleep, she was tired, not because it was five am but because the day had been so emotionally draining. After they had eating, formal introductions had been made along with sarcastic comments about each of them. She found it funny that when it came to Vegeta's turn they all just exchanged glances at each other before laughing, causing Vegeta to tell each of them to be here at 8am giving them all approximately 3hours sleep. After a few more hours the gang started to head home since they needed their sleep. Unsure of where she would be sleeping her answer was given as Vegeta told her that he'd better show her, her room now, because she needed to be up as well. Before she went into her room she thanked him with a kiss, and was rewarded with a startled expression and a warily look. He had said that he wasn't one of those managers who slept with the stars, and she had replied that she wasn't one of those girls either. For a while they stared at each other before they both headed up to sleep. Now that Bulma had the chance to think about it, she realised that probably wasn't the smartest thing to say since he could terminate her contract any time, after all she hadn't signed any contract yet. Sighing she hugged the pillow, praying that when she woke up it wouldn't all just be a dream.
The Morning
At 8am exactly the gang had all piled into Vegeta's apartment and then out into their cars and then into Ouji records. They were all sitting in some sort of conference room with Vegeta at the head of the table and Goku to on his right hand.
"So" Vegeta began "we have a new star that needs promoting, Krillin"
"I'm on it" nodded Krillin "What do you want the whole shenanigan or-"
Vegeta raised his eyebrow at the word before answering "I want middle marketing promoting a new star, once we've cut the record and shot the first video switch it to full scale"
Krillin nodded and began barking orders to the people behind him "check how much it cost to do this" and "run to my office somecolour prints"
Bulma shook her head in frustration and turned to look at Vegeta who was barking something to Kayla"
"We need that song"
"I'm coming, I've got all my assistant working on what type of beat is in at the moment, it should be done by this evening"
"I wanted it by yesterday" he shouted
Kayla brushed the tone off, yet nodded and walked out of the room to no doubt work on the song.
"Chichi, get her fixed up, but I want to see the final product, we can do some test shots"
"Done" said Chichi as she beckoned Bulma to follow her out the room, before she left she heard Vegeta yell at 17.
"Its crazy in there isn't it" said Chichi as she picked out make-up samples that her assistants were showing her.
"Yeah, how do you cope?"
"You'll get use to it, I guess. Now come on I have the perfect idea about your new look"
Author's Again: Ok that's it sorry there wasn't much B/V but i wanted to get this out the way so the rest of the chapters can be all about the couples.
I also need your help (so offer suggests to the following):
1. what extra job can I get Vegeta to give Bulma - if you've read the previous chapter you know what i'm talking about
2. Bulma's gonna have purple hair (as in the japonese version) for a while, do you mind?
3. would you like to see some of the other DBZ/GT character or should i just limit it to theses.
Thanks for your help, and do review
Sorry if there is any bad grammatical errors or punctuation
