A\N: I just posted the chapter before this… and now I'm starting to type up this one. Once again, I already have the story, but it takes a while to type

Disclaimer : don't own dbz : do we have to put this here?

Bulma Briefs sighed as she pulled a brush slowly through her soft blue hair. The phone beside her rang, causing the girl to jump. She picked up the phone and muttered a weak, "Hello?"

"Bulma!" a hyper voice greeted.

"Hey, Chi", Bulma responded automatically.

"Anyways, Goku was wondering if you've seen Vegeta lately".

"It's been the same thing for two weeks now. I set out the food, he eats the food. But I never see him!"

"You know, I'm surprised he's still sticking around", Chichi said thoughtfully, twirling the phone cord around her fingers.

"Yeah, knowing his ego, he should be gone by now", Bulma agreed dryly.

"I think he's just sticking around for you. Have you even looked for him?" Chichi asked.

"Not really", Bulma admitted quietly.

"Look, Bulma, I'm not telling you to do anything, but Goku misses Vegeta. Yeah, can you believe that? Anyways, I think its best you find him soon. And talk to him".

"Chi… I don't know", Bulma said slowly.

"It's driving Goku nuts, which is driving me nuts. And not seeing Vegeta is obviously hurting you. I never see you smile anymore", Chichi persuaded her friend.

"Alright. I'll go look".

"Call me back?"

Bulma agreed to do so and hung up the phone. She pulled on a silky white robe over her thin nightgown and tied her hair in a loose bun. As Bulma was about to open the door, a loud knock came from the other side. Startled, she quickly opened it to see Vegeta standing there, arms crossed, face set into a scowl.

"Vegeta? Oh, I was just – "

"I want to work", he said.

"What?" Bulma asked, unsure of what he had just said.

"Don't act stupid. I live here everyday. I want to pay for it".

"Well, I can… you know… uh, give you a job here", Bulma offered weakly.

"Shouldn't bosses be a little more demanding? What happened to you yelling voice?" Vegeta smirked.

Bulma shrugged, then closed the door in his face.

A\N : oh. Wow. That was so short that I didn't even like it. Ok… I wrote this chapter at least a year ago… so… hmmm, I dunno what I was thinking. But that's ok, cuz it just means I'll post it faster :
