Hey guys. I know it's been a while, but I was pretty busy. I want to encourage you all to read my "Survival" story. It's actually my favorite. I really like it and if you're worried about BV romance, I'm about to put that in my next chapter. As far as Kakarot and Chi-Chi...they'll be together but Anyway, check out that.

Chapter 4

I don't own DBZ

Bulma glared at Vegeta evilly and placed her hands on her hips. "Listen here Mistah. City, I don't know what yer try'n ta pull, but I ain't gonna take it. You may be a big shot where you used to live, but this is my home, my world, so I want you to mind you're business, or I'm going to have to make you."

He smirked, being amused by her threat. "You're just a little girl. What do you plan on doing?"

"I'll get you fired."

"I don't want to work here anyway. Screw you. Fire me if you want."

She cocked an eyebrow. "I don't think you understand how serious this is, Vegeta. If you don't except the way things are, then I'm going to fire you, and I'm sure your aunt and uncle are gonna be pretty pissed at you."

"Let them be."

"I bet they'll punish you."

"Let them."

She smiled. "Okay, but I've seen what happens to Goku after he gets punished. You sure you wanna take that chance Mistah City?"

"Of course."

She ran her fingers through her hair. "Oh Vegeta, just watch what you do." She stepped inside her truck. "Come to the house and I'll give you some fresh clothes. Then I'll take ya home." She drove off towards the house, which wasn't far away.

Vegeta took off his cold and wet shirt and began walking towards the house. 'That little girl can't do anything to me. I'm Vegeta, and I'm not scared of little girls.'


"Pa," said Goku as he buckled his seat belt "I don't think Bulma and Vegeta should be together...alone."

"And why's that, son?" Bardock smirked at him, suddenly interested. "What do you expect her to do? It's not like she's gonna pick up a pitch fork and kill him."

"I know, but Bulma..." Goku shrugged his shoulders. "I don't think he can rightly trust her. I think she might try to pull something. He might too. I don't like how they stare at each other. It's like they're rivals or somethin."

"I understand." Bardock sighed. "I can't wait until we have enough money to start our own farm."

"I know. It'll be great. Then we could do what we want on our own time. I can't wait until we have it pa. I know we can handle it." Goku smiled brightly. "It will be wonderful."


"Here you are dear" said Mrs. Briefs as she handed Vegeta some clean and dry clothes. "These are my husband's clothes, well old clothes."

"Mrs. Briefs, does Bulma have to power to fire anyone?"

Mrs. Briefs smiled. "Of course not dear. Only my husband can do that."

Vegeta smirked. "I figured as much. So what's the head man like anyway?"

"He's right there." Vegeta was shocked once he saw Mr. Briefs, especially since Mrs. Briefs was so beautiful. Mr. Briefs was short and around looked like he was fifty years of age. He was thin, but had muscles. His glasses were thick and his pale blue hair short and slicked back. (Don't imagine Dr. Briefs. Please see him how I see him. He's not like Dr. Briefs at all.) "You the boy from New York?"

Vegeta nodded. "Yeah, that would be me." 'Yikes! His wife is so beautiful and young looking. How'd he get her?'

"You better put those clothes on before you get my livin room all wet."

Vegeta walked towards the bathroom and went inside. 'That was a shocker.'

"Vegeta?" said Bulma from the other side of the door. "You almost finished?"

"I'm changing now, so back off you impatient woman!"

Bulma gasped. "No one speaks to me that way, you jerk! Yer fired!"

Vegeta opened the door with a smirk on his face. He was now wearing a raggedy pair of blue jeans and a plaid red shirt, but at least he was dry. "I heard you can't fire anyone."

"And who told you that?"

"Your mother."

If looks could kill, Vegeta would have been a pile of ashes. "You nosey little boy."

"Excuse me, but I am a man. Now let's go. Your presence is disturbing." He tried not to look at her, even though he wanted to. He did like her as far as attraction. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his whole life. 'And to think, such a beauty hiding under piles of hay.'

"I should kill you!"

"And you should shut up, but you're not doing that!"

"And you should grow up and become a real boy. You're so small, I would think yer daddy's name was Jepetto!"

Vegeta and Bulma continued arguing until they reached his uncle's house. Vegeta opened his door and got out, but when he tried to say the last comment, she stuck out her tongue, slammed his door, and drove off. Vegeta smirked and walked into the house. "I'm here." Vegeta began smelling the smell of what was being cooked and was dragged into the kitchen by the smell. "What is that?"

His aunt came to him and kissed him on his cheek. "Hey sweetheart. How did things go today?"

Vegeta wasn't expecting a kiss on the cheek, so he wiped it away with his hand and looked as if he was going to puke. "Like Hell on Earth."

"You'll get used to all of this. Just go get into the shower and dinner will be done by the time you come down."

"Good. I'm starving now."

"That's the spirit. I cooked a lot tonight, so eat all you need." Vegeta said nothing else, but was actually thankful that his aunt was around. She made everything a bit more tolerable. Goku was annoying, Bardock was a man Vegeta just couldn't figure out, and Bulma's family seemed strange. Bulma however seemed interesting in a 'she needs to die' kind of way. When dinner was done, Bardock, Vegeta, and Goku rushed to the table and Vegeta was about to dig in, but his hand was slapped by his aunt. "We say grace before we eat."

He sighed and calmed himself down. "Fine, whatever."

Goku, Bardock, and Tannipu closed their eyes and waited for someone to say grace. "Why don't you say it, Vegeta?" asked Goku.

Vegeta grunted. "Why do I have to do it?"

"Because you're our guest. Besides, don't you have a lot to be thankful for?"

"Sure." he said sarcastically. 'I was attacked by chickens, goats, and pigs today. Yeah right.' he thought. He closed his eyes and said "Dear Lord...I thank you for this food that we are about to eat and..." he shrugged his shoulders "give us world peace." He then opened his eyes and looked at Goku. "Is that good enough, Kakarot?"

Bardock sighed. "I suppose."

Tannipu hit Bardock in his arm. "That was fine. Prayer is just prayer." They all began to eat, and even though Vegeta ate a lot more than before, he still didn't eat as much as Bardock and Goku, who both cleaned more than three helpings of food.

"Vegeta," said his aunt when they were done "would you help me clear the table?"

Vegeta sighed. "Whatever." He grabbed his plate and a few others, and walked into the kitchen with his aunt. "I never had to do this at home. Why should here be any different?"

"Because we don't have enough money to have maids and all of those other privileges that you have at your house. My sister chose your father, and I chose my farm boy. Our families just have different expectations. That's all." She placed the plates on the counter and began filling the sink with water and soap. "How did things go today?"

"Horrible."

She smiled. "I thought you might say that."

"And they won't get better."

"Sure they will." Her smile then became very devilish. "So, did you meet Bulma?"

"What about her?" he asked annoyed.

"She's a pretty girl."

"What does that have to do with me?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. You tell me." She stopped smiling and started doing the dishes. "You might want to go to sleep. We get up pretty early."

He rolled his eyes. "I've got business in my blood. I can get up any time, any where."


"Vegeta?" Goku shook Vegeta, until he woke up.

Vegeta looked at his alarm clock and began cursing in his mind. "No, no. Not this early. Are you kidding me?"

"I'm wide awake. What's your problem?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'm human!"

"Come on, Vegeta. We gotta a lot of things to do."


"Vegeta!" Goku hit Vegeta in his arm to wake him up.

"What? What did I miss?"

"You slept through church." He opened his eyes and noticed peopled starring at him with shameful looks for falling asleep during the pastor's message.Some were amazed by his Armani suit, though.

"Well, pick a church that doesn't start at 8:00am. People have got to sleep, and I still don't understand why we had to go to the Briefs farm before we went to service. You people are backwards."

"Vegeta" said Bulma as she took a seat next to him. "Well Mistah City, looks like you didn't get enough sleep last night."

"I never went to sleep at 8 o'clock in my life and I wasn't about to start."

She smiled. "Do you want to hang out with me and some of my friends?"

Vegeta yawned. "Well, I guess I caught up on my sleep now." He smirked. "Where are we going?"

"I don't know...around."

He cocked an eyebrow at her suspiciously. "What are you planning, woman?"

"Nothing! I am very offended by your assumption!" She smiled. "Come on, I wouldn't lie in the house of God." She kissed him on the cheek. "Come on Mistah City, I'll show you a good time." She looked at Goku. "He can come along too."

Goku's eyes lit up. "I wanna go. Come on, Geta."

Vegeta grunted. "Fine, but if you keep calling me that, I'm going to have to kill you!" He hit Goku on his head and he started to rub it.

"Sorry Vegeta. Just like call'n ya that."

"Come on Kakarot." Vegeta stood up. "Lead the way, woman."

"Will do." She had devilish grin on her face, but Vegeta paid no attention to it, since he thought she was so very sexy. Goku didn't realize Bulma's twisted look, because he was just happy that he could tag along.

"Wait a moment." said Vegeta, while fixing the collar on his suit. "Meet me at my uncle's house. I'm not getting my suit all messed up."

Bulma rolled her eyes. "Fine, but you city people think too much of yourselves. You need to be free…" she smirked "wild."

"I can be wild." He said with a smirk. "I just don't want to get this suit all dirty. Do you know how much this cost?"

She frowned. "I wish I did. I'll meet you there." She walked out of the sanctuary, swaying her hips back and forth.

"Does she come to the alter frequently?" asked Vegeta.

"I don't rightly know. I reckon it's just as much as anyone else" answered Goku. "Why would you ask that?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "It just seems like she needs to repent often."

Too be continued…..

A/N: So, what does Bulma really want to do? What's going on in that brain? You'll just have to find out later!
