Hey, sorry it's been taking so long to get all the chapters up! I've just had so much to do, but I haven't forgotten about this fic. I've just been waiting for good ideas to come to me. I've had a minor case of writers block, but I think I'm ready to write again Anyways, thanks to Hikari Heijin, lenk (x4), and Vampiress-06 for reviewing the last chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball Z or any of its characters.

Bulma Briefs looked at her self in the mirror. For the first time since that wretched boy got here, she finally felt sure of herself again. Her long blue locks were straightened and she was wearing a tee shirt from Urban Outfitters that said, "G is for Gangsta," with a cute pair of True Religion jeans and some flip-flops. She put on the minimal make up, being cover-up, mascara and lip-gloss. Bulma was finally ready to go pick up her boyfriend, Yamcha. Today was the day she was going to show Vegeta was worthless he really was. She didn't need him… right?

Suddenly her mother burst into the room,

"Bulma! Sweet heart! I have a favor to ask of you," She knew that wasn't going to buy the fakeness of her tone, but it was worth a try. Bulma turned from her mirror to glare at her mother and with an exaggerated expression asked,

"What Bunny?"

"Oh honey. Don't tell me it's come to this point!"

"What the hell are you talking about—"

"Oh don't play stupid Bulma. You know exactly what I'm talking about! You're calling me 'Bunny' instead of MOM!"

Bunny then walked over to her daughter and stroked some of her hair and pulled it behind her ear. This was her attempt to be an affectionate mother. Again, Bulma was not buying this act and began to walk away from her mother and said,

"Get off of me! Since when have you cared about being a good mother?" And then Bulma thought for a moment, and she turned to face her mom for one more moment and added,

"Actually, you know what you could do to be a good mother? Stay as far away from me as possible."

With that Bunny's expression dropped from hopeful to disdainful. She thought that her daughter was the biggest brat ever. I mean the nerve of that girl, right? How dare she talk to her own mother like that? She didn't see other girls in the neighborhood treat their mothers as so. But maybe the other mothers in the neighborhood didn't have mothers like Bunny Briefs. Regardless, Bunny would not let Bulma get away with her rudeness so easily.

Downstairs Bulma grabbed a salt bagel and walked out the doors of her stone mansion. Bulma was thinking about how life could change so much within a week. She knew that her mother was always a conniving bitch, but ever since that boy's family had arrived, it had just gotten to a level where it was just not tolerable anymore. Bulma couldn't let her personal problems ruin her persona. She was Bulma Briefs, and no one could know that even she was insecure.

Just then she received a call from her best friend Chi-chi,

"B?"

"Hey Chi! What's going on?"

"Oh nothing really. Goku is gonna give me a ride to school this morning, that cool?"

"Of course! Haha, who am I to stop your magical romance?"

"Haha, nice B. Oh and speaking of romance, how's Yamcha doing?"

"Oh…" Bulma paused for a moment. She almost forgot that she was with him. That was like the fifth time this week she had envisioned Vegeta as her boyfriend instead of Yamcha What was wrong with her? She finally snapped back to reality when Chi-chi was growing impatient,

"Hello!"

"Oh, yeah sorry Chi. Um, he's great, everything's great."

Chi-chi wasn't that stupid. She knew exactly what Bulma was thinking about, but she chose not to say anything simply because it was too early to get chewed out by Bulma.

"Oh, awesome B! Are you guys going to make a HUGE entrance?"

"Hell yeah! Chi, you know me so well! Anyways, speaking of Yamcha, I have to go swing by his house, so I'll catch you later!"

Bulma then snapped close the phone. She figured that if she couldn't have Vegeta for herself, she would sure as hell make him jealous, and make him want her for himself. She was so devious…

Yamcha's Place…
Ever since Yamcha had arrived home from the hospital his parents have basically been scared to approach him. That was fine with him considering it gave him even more freedom to do whatever the hell he wanted. At this point, he knew he was going to inherit a shit load of money, so why bother with school? He only went to see who the new hot chicks were. He's officially with Bulma, but that never stopped him from getting ass from other girls. He figured that there was a whole world of sex out there, and he wanted to experience it all.

Just then, his phone rang. He thought it might be his devoted girlfriend, but it turned out to be someone else,

"Hello?"

"Yamcha, we need to talk."

"Sorry, don't have time—"

"But we spent that beautiful night together!"

"So? It was just sex."

"Not to me! Yamcha, we're soul mates…"

"Yeah, okay, whatever. I have better things to do then listen to this crap."

"YAMCHA DAVENPORT! I will not give up on you that easily! What do you take me for?"

"Honestly? I take you for—"

"Whatever. That's not the point. We're destined."

Yamcha heard three loud knocks on the door. Very precise knocks I might add. That of course was Bulma. Such an academically ahead student was always precise with everything they did.

"Listen, like I said, I don't have time for this now."

"You better believe I'm not giving up on you that easily."

Yamcha just snapped his phone shut as he ran down his grand spiral staircase to greet his beautiful girlfriend with a kiss on the cheek. She did look beautiful, as she always did. That was no surprise to him. And of course, he was also gorgeous. A beautiful couple, but their beauty was their only similarity.

"Hey babe!"

"Yamcha, are you ready to go?"

"Of course I am, let's get moving,"

And he walked out the door brushing right past her. She didn't know why she put up with his stupidity for this long – or at all. But there she one thing she knew, she was loosing interest and quickly.

Arriving at School…
Bulma and Yamcha walked up their usual meeting spot of Sir Branson's and of course everyone was buzzing about the couple. But this wasn't the usual buzz. No, this was worse than usual,

"Ew. Oh my god, they just walk up here like they own the place!"

"I know, she's trying to act like nothing happened at Chi-chi's!"

"Haha, he looks good though, I give 'em a week."

Bulma was started to feel suffocated by all of this talk. This was supposed to be her way of making Vegeta jealous. He wasn't going to be jealous if people were talking this much shit. For once in her life, she started to feel like she was loosing control over everything. As they were coming closer to their friends, Yamcha's arm somehow came from being around her waist to grabbing her ass. Maybe he was in the hospital so long that he forgot that she hated that. So she placed his arm back on her waist and stated coolly,

"You know I hate it when you grab my ass in public,"

He snickered for a moment and replied,

"Sorry babe! I forgot, but you shouldn't be so uptight all the fuckin' time. I mean c'mon we only live once, have a little adven—"

"Adventure? You know Yamcha, I don't think you grabbing my ass is much of an adventure,"

And she walked away from him, and he quickly caught up with her and from behind put his hands on her thighs and whispered in her ear,

"You know, it could lead to something great."

Yet again, a very exasperated Bulma walked off from Yamcha and went up to her group of friends. Chi-chi suddenly came running to her and dragged her away from the group,

"Chi! What the hell are you doing!"

"Uh… Bulma, there's something I need to tell you before you go over there—"

"Don't be ridiculous Chi!" And with that she walked over to the group only to find that her sensible best friend was right. There, standing in between Goku and Krillin was Vegeta. Bulma fumed,

"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE!"

"Hello you idiotic woman. I'm glad to see you too,"

"You wanna talk idiotic? You slept with the biggest whore in this school!"

"No woman, I haven't slept with you yet, you have such a funny memory—"

"You wish you could sleep with me. I'm talking about Marron."

Goku was getting really anxious and Chi-chi urged him on to say something that would break up this little "love" fest,

"Whoa guys! Bulma, Vegeta is going to be shadowing me for the next week or so because of the security incident yesterday!"

"Oh great Goku." Bulma then rolled her eyes and was about to stomp off when Yamcha finally caught up with the group and gave Bulma a peck on the lips. Bulma couldn't have asked him to do it at a better time. Vegeta shuddered in disgust and coughed… loudly,

"GOT A PROBLEM ASSHOLE!"

Krillen and 18 finally interjected with a,

"Hey Yamcha! How are you feeling, is everything going okay?" And then Krillen and Yamcha a little handshake thing, and 18 went over to hug him. Chi-chi was relieved that something finally broke the tension that was surrounding the whole circle. What Chi-chi didn't understand that Bulma and Vegeta didn't go over to hug Yamcha or greet him in any way, but just stood there, staring at the ground.

"Man, Yamcha! Are you still on the lax team?"

"Hell yeah Goku! My dad has a good relationship with coach. So it's all good,"

"Good, because you're not replaceable!"

Then Krillen added,

"Yeah dude. You're like the key to our whole offensive line,"

And Yamcha put on a cocky smile and stated,

"I know."

What the guys didn't know was that Vegeta had played lacrosse at his old school and helped his team win the state championship. Yamcha really had it coming. Since the coach had heard of Vegeta's achievements, he was giving him a chance to try out, even though it was already half way through the season. Then Vegeta added,

"I'm trying out for the team today." And smirked at Yamcha,

Then the bell rang, and everyone headed inside. Bulma snuck into the school as fast as she could. Yamcha and Vegeta were the only ones left outside. Yamcha turned to Vegeta,

"You better watch it queer. I'm the one who rules this school, and no one gets on my lacrosse team unless I say they can."

Then he grabbed Vegeta by the shirt and said,

"And one more thing, I see the way you look at her. She's my girl and there's nothing you can do about it. Welcome to my town bitch." And with that he roughly pushed Vegeta away from him.

Brief's Home…
Being a housewife, there really wasn't much to do during the day except for shop, mingle and go tanning. Or get your nails and hair done. But oddly, today Bunny didn't feel like doing any of that. She sat out by her pool wondering how her life went to shit. Even though she had gotten everything she had ever wanted out of life, she still felt miserable and depressed. How did it happen like that, she wanted to know. She looked to the sky as the palm trees were blowing with the breeze. Why did she want to sabotage Shauna's relationship with her husband? And for once, she didn't think she would succeed in getting him in her bed. That would really be a first for Bunny Briefs. Just then she heard the phone ringing from inside. She chose to ignore it. Then, they called again and she decided it might be her husband so she better pick it up, and pretend like she is a lonely and devoted wife.

Then ran from the poolside to the glass sliding door that led into their kitchen. She opened to the door and ran across the cold marble floor across to her phone.

"Hello, Briefs residence."

"Ah, yes, is this Bunny?"

"Why yes it is." Bunny was confused, she couldn't recognize the voice on the other end of the line,

"Um, yes, this is Dr. Brief's associate and I'm calling from the hospital."

"What! Sir, this is ridiculous, he was in perfect health before he left, what's going on?"

"Well Mrs. Briefs, he's not in perfect health now, in fact, he just had a stroke."

And to Bunny's surprise, a tear rolled down her cheek. If this is true, if this is actually her reality, she wouldn't know what to do without Cromwell's financial security. She sure as hell didn't know how to invest money. All of her life was falling apart. Not only did she have a failing relationship with her husband, but had a catastrophic relationship with her daughter as well. She felt regretful and guilty. She started to whimper,

"Well… is he going to be alright!"

"We… do not know that right now. All we know is that he is in the best possible care that we could provide."

"Well it better keep him alive or else you and your fucked up company will find yourself in the middle of a million dollar law suit you piece of shit! What the fuck is wrong with you people! Is this how you handle your business with people—"

"Mrs. Briefs, if you are trying to imply that this was scheduled to happen, you are horribly wrong. I have to go now, but our associates will keep you updated."

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES—"

"Good bye."

And the phone on the other line clicked. He had hung up and a deranged Bunny Briefs. She let out a huge screech and ran outside, fell to her knees and slammed her fists against the pavement. How could he leave her alone like this? How could she live like this? And how the hell was she going to tell Bulma? She was going to go even more ballistic then she has already been going.

School Parking Lot…
Yamcha was waiting in the parking lot with a very nervous expression. He certainly didn't want Bulma to see him right now. He was skipping AP Chemistry to see this girl. Suddenly an obnoxious voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Yamchie-poo! Hey sweetie," Marron cooed. She came up to him and started to rub her hands all over his body, and whispered to him,

"I knew it wasn't the end of us."

Yamcha shoved her off for a second and said,

"We can't let Bulma know about this. And she can never see us, so let's go."

Marron was excited. All she was interested in was fucking Yamcha, he was the best that she ever had. Fuck Bulma, she had everything, and Marron wanted to take it all away from her. And of course, she was still going to be fucking with Vegeta too. Why? Simply because she could. And it would destroy Bulma. Before getting into her Porsche Carrera, she turned to Yamcha and said,

"I knew my phone call this morning would change your mind,"

And with that they sped off. Ironically, Bulma had just run out of the school to give Yamcha his Chemistry homework, but couldn't find him anywhere. He said he was going to get a breath of fresh air. Oh well, Bulma thought, I'll just give it to him later, and she walked back into the school.

Student Lounge…

The three beautiful girls were sitting on the gorgeous couch in the middle of their extremely luxurious student lounge. The girls were holding planning sheets on their laps and all scattered on the coffee table in front of them were design plans for a ball worthy of a king and queen.

18 started off by saying,

"Okay you guys, since the Academy's Ball is one of the most important social events of the year, we have to make sure it's the best that it's ever been!"

Chi-chi then added,

"Well, we've always had been the best at throwing this ball. So this year, I think we should have a monarchy theme. I mean with the red silk curtains and the marble columns and everything stitched in gold. Even the cake will have eatable gold in it! What do you think B?"

She had obviously been off in her own world again, staring at Vegeta who was across the room. While the girls were planning the Academy Ball, the guys were drinking coffee from their coffee bar and playing pool on the billiard table.

"B? Hello!" Both girls screamed at her at the same time,

"Oh yeah sorry, I think it all sounds great! This is going to be the best ball ever."

18 rolled her eyes and asked,

"Do you even know what we just said?"

"Uhh… No!" And they started laughing, and then went back to working on this ball. If this was going to be the biggest event ever, Bulma had to show Vegeta that she was desirable and people looked up to her.

Over on the other side of the room, Vegeta watched the woman planning the stupid ball that was coming up. Since his grandfather's company was providing funding for the ball he had to go. But he probably would have ended up going anyways, just to see her. She looked so beautiful when she was trying to get something done. Goku looked at Vegeta and saw that he was staring at her again,

"Taken."

Vegeta was surprised by that comment, and Goku repeated himself,

"Dude, Vegeta. Stop looking at her, she's taken."

Then Krillen added,

"Yeah, Yamcha's a douche bag, and if he finds out that you're trying to get Bulma, he won't be happy."

"What the fuck are you idiots implying? That I actually like that wench? Please, I've seen much better,"

Goku then said,

"Psh, yeah right! Whatever Vegeta…"

Krillen added,

"We've seen the way you constantly look at her!"

"I don't like her!" And then Vegeta shot the pool ball in the desired hole. He tried lying to himself but it did no good. He still thought Bulma was the beautiful girl he had ever seen.

The Hallway…

After school, when most people had gone home, Bulma was putting up more posters in the hallway for the ball. Vegeta happened to be walking down the hallway because he had just finished his tryout for the lacrosse team. To say the least Vegeta had made the team with plying colors. Now he could really show that piece of shit Yamcha that he could kick his ass. Then he looked up to notice the woman on a latter posting up posters for that stupid dance.

Bulma felt someone behind her and turned around to find Vegeta standing there,

"Is there something you want?"

"No."

"Um okay. Well, what are you doing here anyways?"

"I just tried out for the lacrosse team." At this Bulma snickered. She knew that it was almost impossible to make the team unless you have been on it since freshman year, and even then, it meant you usually were a benchwarmer.

"Oh, well good luck with that." She sarcastically stated.

"Actually, your tiny mind may not be able to comprehend this, but I made it."

In shock for a few minutes, she had completely forgotten that he had just insulted her.

"Well… I guess then a congratulations is in order."

"Thanks woman."

And they looked at each other for a moment. All Bulma could think about is what it would be like to kiss him, and then he had gotten so caught up in her thoughts of kissing him that she fell off of her latter.

"AHHH!" She screamed as she was falling towards the ground. She was thinking how this just made her look like more of an ass in front of Vegeta, until he caught her. Now their faces were dangerously close. Their noses were almost touching, and for a moment she closed her eyes and inhaled the scent of Old Spice deorderant. She then remembered that she had a boyfriend and pushed him off of her.

"What are you doing!" she demanded

"Well, as I just remember, saving you ass bone from being broken."

"Whatever Vegeta," and she got really nervous again and then stumbled,

"I…I—I have to go." And she ran out toward the entrance of the school.

She left Vegeta standing there to ponder over what just happened. He was so close to tasting her beautiful lips. That damn boyfriend. He was an asshole and she deserved much better. Maybe, if he was lucky, that someone would be him. But then he thought to himself, what the hell is happening to me? I'm going all mushy over some stupid woman.

All right! That's the end of the chapter. Please tell me what you thought of it! What do you think will happen when Bulma figures out about her dad's heart condition? When will the ball be held, and will that be the day Bulma catches on to Yamcha's infidelity? Well, that will al be revealed! Until next time…
