Masked Girls And Breath Taking Balls

Bulma
-The Ball!-
The ball was in full swing. People danced, drank, and were marry. Fireworks were set off and couples were swoon by the sounds of music. Among the mists of this celebration, a deadly thorn was put in this rose. Kaioshin dressed in disguise awaited in the shadows for the Briefs' Daughter. He had taken upon this job for many reasons. Mostly the promise of great wealth and power for the capture of not only the Briefs' Daughter but also that of her future child. He could imagine the reward of succeeding this mission. It only heighten his ambition for him to await his next move.
-Venux/Andrea!-
-Bulma's Room!-
"Bulma Briefs, you open this door right now!" "I'm not going! I've changed my mind! I look ridiculous Venux!" Bulma cried through her bedroom door. Apparently yesterday, Andrea had convinced Bulma to reconsider and go to the Ball. Now it was ½ hour past since the ball started. Bulma had gotten cold feet and hid in her room. "Bulma, listen to reason! You should go! It's going to be so much fun! You'll see!" "No! Stop trying to convince me Andrea! I don't' even have a date! This dress makes me look fat, and I'm the only one going to be by myself!" Bulma argued. Venux let out an agitated sigh. Her blue haired friend was really starting to piss her off. "Bulma, damn you! You're making me miss MY date! Now get out here before I come in there and strangle you!" she cried. "NO! Just go on without me!" Bulma cried.
"That's it! I'm taking care of this once and for all!" Venux stormed outside Bulma's quarters as she left a rather confused Andrea behind. Seconds later, she returned with both Koji and Trunks. "Bulma, if you don't open this door right now, I'm sending in Trunks and Koji! One way or another, you are going to this Ball! Damnit, I'm missing out on all of the fun!" "Go on without me! I don't want to go!" Bulma cried again.
Venux turned to rather confused Trunks. "Do it." she said. Trunks let out a sigh. He put his two hands on the door and with a very small amount of ki; the door flew off its hinges and fell to the floor with a small thud. As they peered through the doorway, they saw Bulma. She was prepared, prepped, and beautiful. Even with the mask over her features, she looked even more riveting. Koji and Trunks' jaws dropped. Trunks couldn't believe that was his Mother and Koji was just taken aback by the beauty in front of him.
Unfortunately for him, Andrea saw and she pulled out her handy giant mallet, then WHAM! She hit him over the head. "Sorry Andrea…" he muttered and followed her out as she stalked out of the room. "You are going Bulma! Now get your ass out of there right now and let's go or I'm going to make you!" Venux fumed angrily. "You wouldn't dare!" Bulma challenged. Venux was now hopping mad. But Trunks quickly intervened. He grabbed Venux and held her back. "Venux dear, I want you to go check on your friend, all right?" he asked her. "NO! I'M GOING TO…" Venux was quickly cut off as Trunks gently shoved her out the door and gave her "the look" that sent her quietly to her friend in the hallway. Trunks took this as his time to round on Bulma. Bulma stared bewildered at this boy.
True she had never said no more than 2 words to the boy, but she felt this rather strong connection. Like he could relate to everything she has been going through and yet he looked so much alike to herself. Why was that? Trunks stared at her with a blank expression. "Bulma, come out here with me." he said as he lead her out to the balcony and closed the doors. Bulma over looked the busy night below the balcony as Trunks accompanied her. "You really don't wish to go do you?" he asked finally. Bulma shook her head no from under the white mask.
"If I may, why?" "It's stupid. Just can't you take Venux and Andrea and leave me be?" "Why? You look ready to go and that dress looks good on you. You should go. I know for a fact your friends would have a much better time if their duo was a complete trio." Trunks smiled at her. "I have work. I am behind in it. If I don't' catch up, Prince Vegeta will kill them. I can't allow him to do that." Bulma explained. "Well, I'll help, I must say, I know a thing or two on mechanics and inventions." "Well I can't. I don't have a date…" "You do so. I know 2 best friends of yours that will personally escort you." Trunks confronted her again.
"Yes, but I have no one to dance with." "Tell you what, if you go, I'll have a couple of dances with you. Just you and me, but please save me when Venux is going to kill us. But in order for that to happen, you need to go to the Ball. Just stay for at least 2 hours. If you still feel no need to be there, then you can leave. Now how does that sound? Come on, what is 2 hours from your busy life for some fun?" Bulma pondered on this for a few moments. "All right…all right, I guess." Bulma finally caved in. Trunks let out a smile. "Good."
-Ball!-
-Vegeta!-
He sat in his throne, bored as hell as he saw the couples dance and mingle on the dance floor. As the song changed to "Only You" By Enrique Iglacious, the second it started, Trunks and the group arrived with masked girls in elegant dresses. As Trunks and Koji parted with a girl in arm, a single girl stood on the steps that lead down to the dance floor. Everyone stopped dancing and looked at the girl. Vegeta's mouth dropped opened slightly. He had no idea who this girl was, but by the end of the night, he would be determined to have her in his arms.
Bulma smiled nervously and was surprised at the fact that everyone was staring at her, even the Prince. A light blush crept on her embarrassed cheeks. ("Am I really that hideous?") She asked herself. Bulma descended the steps and quickly tried to hide away in the crowd or at least the back table of the room. But unfortunately for her, not even 5 mins that she sat down, the girls went to dance with their dates. Bulma watched from the sidelines and was saddened yet happy for them.
"May I have this dance?" a man in a black cloak came up to her. Bulma smiled politely and was about to except by taking his hand, but another voice cutted in. "No, she is having this dance with me." Bulma turned around to see Prince Vegeta smiling egoistically to her. "Very well Prince Vegeta." the cloaked man left once more for the shadows. Bulma looked at the Prince a bit more confused.
Vegeta held out his hand and hesitantly Bulma took it as he led her out to the dance floor. The second they positioned themselves for a dance, the music suddenly changed to "Daughters" by John Mayer. "So, took a break from your work I see?" Vegeta asked amused by Bulma's shyness as he figured out who she was. "Um, not that I wanted to be here. I have a lot of work to do and I wanted to be alone anyways. I am sorry your highness, I will try to work more tomorrow."
"You know, keeping yourself locked up, it's not right. I mean, you can take a break." Vegeta suggested. "Yes, but I want Kold to pay for what he has done to my home, my people, for taking everything away from me." Bulma told him. "And Prince Vegeta, I want to thank you. You were right. I have lost everything and I did need to learn my place." she spoke quietly. Vegeta stopped their dancing. "Woman, I was wrong. You haven't lost everything." "Prince Vegeta?" "Just call me Vegeta." he replied as he smirked and leaned into kiss her.
Trunks eyed them from the side as all eyes were on them. "What did I tell you Trunks?" Venux smiled happily. "You were right." Trunks sighed in content. Unfortunately, the kiss never came and all happiness ended as the song came to a close. The dark cloaked man pulled from behind Bulma as he held her and knife pressed to her throat. "I'm sorry Saiyan Prince, bet this union I can not permit!" "Let her go right now!" screamed Trunks angrily as he came in front of his Father. The cloaked man smiled from under his hood. He took his fee hand and pulled it back. Trunks' eyes widened.
"Ah, I see you know who I am, Prince Trunks of all Saiyans." he spoke evilly. A rippled wave of confusion broke out. "WHAT!" Vegeta bellowed at Trunks and this uninvited guest. "Don't you dare say another word!" Trunks cried out. "Oh but Trunks, I'm sure your Father and Mother would love to know who you are." "Brat, what the hell is he talking about?" Vegeta cried. "Tell them Trunks, or I will." "You can't! " Oh, but I can and I will. Fess up." he threatened.
"Fine…but you are going to pay for this!" "Trunks…?" Bulma asked scared. Trunks looked away from her sadly. "I'm sorry Mom, I am your and Vegeta's son." Vegeta took a step back and shock written upon his face. Bulma stared at him as if he had sprouted another head. "Wh-what?" she barely whispered. "NEVER! LIAR! YOU ARE NOT MY SON! YOU ARE LYING!" Vegeta bellowed.
"Oh, but it's true Vegeta. You and this lil' piece of meaningless flesh here bore him. A bastard, hybrid child." Kaioshin smirked. (Duh, you should have guessed it by now!) "DON'T CALL HIM THAT YOU BASTARD!" yelled Venux as she was more than ready to kick Kaioshin's ass. Trunks held out his arm to block her as he narrowed his death glare at Kaioshin. "I told them. Now let her go." he seethed. "No, I'm following higher orders than you. However, if you come quietly with us on the ship, I'll let you live. King Kold wants her dead or alive, so it's really your choice." Kaioshin smiled evilly. With clenched fists, Trunks had to girt his teeth from punching something.
"So are you coming or do I have to spill her precious blood all over this nice dance floor?" he demanded as he pressed the blade to her throat, in result, making her whimper in fear and in pain. "All right, I'll go. But she stays with me and no harm comes to her." Trunks negotiated. "Very well. Now are we going?" "Trunks…" Venux whimpered. He turned and smiled at her. "Don't cry Venux. It'll be okay. You shouldn't care this much anyway." Trunks tried to sound reassuring.
"You idiot! I love you! You can't go!" Venux sobbed as she hugged him. "I have to go. My Mom needs me right now. Don't worry; I'll come back to you. I promise." he whispered in her ear and captured her lips with his own. He finally pulled from her and returned to a struggling Bulma and assaulter. Kaioshin lead them out, leaving a Ball full of confusion and tears.
