Last Time:
The people returned back to Bulma and Yamucha's suite. They continued on working with the actress, trying to hide her puffy red eyes and tear stained face. After hours of work, they did an excellent job of it.
Chichi and 18 left Bulma hours ago when the crew came back to fixing the actress. They quickly headed to Diana's own hotel suite to tell her what happened. Diana cried as well, she was in disbelief and shock.
"Will we still go on with our plan?" Chichi asked the older woman.
"What's the point?" she asked. "All hopes are lost." She sighed.
"So that's it?" Chichi asked as she followed her friend to the limousine that was waiting for them outside. "We give up?" she asked in disbelief.
"You heard Diana." 18 stopped walking and turned to her friend. "What's the point? It was nobody's fault from the beginning. They made their choice, it's their decision, we have no right to do anything about it anymore." she finished with a sad smile. Chichi looked away from 18's baby blue eyes, as tears started to form in the corners of her eyes.
"I only have one question though," Chichi said as she followed 18 out of the Hotel.
"What's that?" 18 asked as they got on the limousine.
"What happened to the ring?"
It is a bright and sunny afternoon in Los Angeles. The day is Friday and it is the day of the Golden Globe awards. The red carpet, the decorations, the cameras, and all the reporters are set up in the entrance. Black and white limousines had come and go, dropping off their passengers, some famous, some not.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is Maroon speaking," a blue haired reporter from E! had announced, while facing the camera.
"And my name is Launch, we are speaking and reporting to you in behalf of E! and we are live in Los Angeles," a blonde haired girl had spoken next to her partner.
"Launch, I am so excited to see who's going to be winners tonight." Maroon turned to her friend.
"I am too, I mean, there are so many categories, and so many actors and actresses fighting for so a few Golden Globe awards." Launch said.
"This year's latest movies, that had been in the top box office for weeks such as, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the most exciting and unpredictable movie, Picture Perfect."
"Yes, that was performed by ex-couple, Vegeta Ouji and Bulma Briefs! Can you imagine that?" Launch continued.
"Actually no, I can't even imagine those two being in the same room, without any arguments going on." Maroon answered.
"Well, the movie was nominated for Best Motion Picture, Vegeta Ouji is nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture and Bulma Briefs is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture." Launch informed.
"But have you seen the movie Launch?" Maroon asked.
"Of course I have, who hasn't? The top one hottest couple three years ago, who did nothing but fight in front of the media, more worse after breaking up, not to mention their sudden and mysterious breakup, suddenly performing together? I mean, working together! Who would wanna miss that?"
"I know what you mean, I cried while watching the movie."
"Ditto."
"And now it's exciting to see if this movie wins or not."
"Yes, we are all looking forward to that. And now, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, for Pirates of the Caribbean…."
"Bulma let's go." Yamucha marched into his fiancé's bedroom, to find her standing by a body length mirror, gazing at herself with such a serious face. She was wearing a blue evening gown, professionally designed for her to show off in the Golden Globe Ceremony. I mean, every talented designer would want a famous actress such as Bulma Briefs, modeling their design in front of hundreds of camera, that is aired world wide.
Yamucha gazed at her and spoke: "You're beautiful"
Bulma snapped out of her trance and looked at her fiancé with a sad smile, though Yamucha didn't realized it. He smiled back, the happiest she had seen him gave her.
"Shall we go?" Yamucha asked, while offering his arm to Bulma. Bulma merely nodded and took his arm. The couple, silently excited the Hotel and went straight to their limousine that was waiting for them in the Parking lot.
"Are you sure you don't want to go with anybody?" Goku asked his friend as he watched him fixed his tie.
"Yes." Vegeta answered sternly.
"Why? Don't you want to keep up with Bulma?" Goku teased, to get Vegeta out of his serious-er state.
"That's the least of my worries." Vegeta half whispered, but was loud enough for Goku to hear.
"The wedding's on Sunday." Goku stated, being Vegeta's friend, he knew that he wanted to talk about it, but was just to prideful to do so.
"I know that."
"Aren't you gonna do something about it?" Goku asked hopefully. What happened next sent chills up and down Goku's spine as he gazed upon Vegeta's murderous eyes and his devilish smirk.
"I believe that this is him now!" Launch exclaimed excitedly.
"This white limousine that's pulling over is supposed to be Vegeta Ouji's limousine." Maroon explained.
The white limousine carefully pulled over in front of the red carpet, where a man in a white suit waited until it came to a complete stop to hold open the door for the arriving star. The man who was in his twenties, quickly, yet gracefully, opened the door, to reveal the young actor who emerged with superiority but with a professionally elegant look.
"Vegeta Ouji!" Maroon called. "Over here honey, just a few questions please." she nearly screamed out. Though nobody could blame here, because of all the young and old stars who had gathered in the red carpet, awaited by hundreds of photographers, waiting to take their pictures.
"Yes ladies, can I help you?" Vegeta asked with his usual trademark smirk.
"Yes, about your movie." Launch stated.
"What about it?"
"It was so romantic." Maroon stated dreamily, making Vegeta roll his eyes with a laugh.
"Everybody in the whole entire universe, knows how much I hate love stories." Vegeta informed.
"That's true, which made us wonder, why did you chose to star in this movie?" Launch asked.
"Is it because of ex-girlfriend Bulma Briefs?" Maroon boldly asked.
"No." Vegeta simply answered.
"Then what made you do it?" Launch asked with eagerness clear in her voice.
"I signed the contract, not knowing what the movie was about and who's starring in it." Vegeta said with a pearly white tooth smirk.
"That's it?" Launch and Maroon asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
"What was the set like then?" Marron asked, she still wasn't satisfied about Vegeta's last answer.
"It was like the set was hit by a storm." Vegeta answered truthfully. "Bulma and I may have created a bad relationship between us since our breakup, but after this movie, we realized that we lost something much more precious than our prides." Vegeta said with a dreamy, yet serious look on his face. Maroon and Launch and the rest of the viewers waited patiently for the next words to come out of his mouth. But unluckily for them, Vegeta likes torturing people, and he had noticed the reporters anticipation and knows of the viewers anticipation as well, so he remained silent.
"What is it then?" Maroon asked hurriedly.
"Our friendship." and with that, Maroon and Launch's jaws, dropped open. Words couldn't be formed as they start to think of another question for the star.
Talking about the wedding was out of the question, it was too personal, and it will make their awards show a talk show. But luckily, Launch didn't care.
"What do you think of Bulma Briefs' engagement to Yamucha Jones?"
There was a long pause, where Vegeta just stared at a spot, his gaze lingering, yet not moving. Then he finally placed his attention to the video camera that was pointed at him, waiting for his answer.
"Let's just say," Vegeta said to it, as if talking to somebody in it. "Nobody takes anything or anyone important away from me without a fight." and with that, he walked away without a second glance.
Bulma nearly dropped the glass of wine she was holding as she gazed upon Vegeta's piercing black eyes. Luckily for her, Yamucha was occupied at the moment, talking to somebody "business" important over the phone, so he wasn't able to catch what Vegeta had said and his fiancé's reaction.
They were on their way to the Awards ceremony, five more minutes and they'll be in the red carpet, showing off their famous little selves. Yamucha and Bulma were riding their rented limousine, with a small bar inside and a television with loud speakers. The volume of the TV was very low, due to the fact that Yamucha's on the phone, and Bulma had wanted to watch the walk in the red carpet. But she hadn't expected Vegeta, to go dateless two days before her wedding and to say such words that confused her even more than the decision she made.
A/N: I know that it has been a long time. College is too stressful, and it's hard to squeez in "writing fanfics" in my schedule, but I promise you this, I will never abandon my stories, and I will finish them.
