Chapter 6: Something More?

Bulma was silent for a moment not believing that Vegeta was there, dressed in alien clothing, standing in the doorway…and then she exploded. "What are you doing in my house?!"

Bunny quickly recovered from her faint and stood up glaring at her daughter. "Bulma Briefs that is not how we treat a guest!"

Bunny's sudden yell stole Bulma's attention as she blinked at her in surprise. Her mother hardly ever yelled at her.

Bunny dusted herself off and bowed to Vegeta. "We especially don't treat a royal guest in such a manner." She then stood up and swung her left arm out in invitation. "Come in your majesty! You are more than welcome!"

Bulma's mouth was hanging open but snapped shut as she watched Vegeta walk past her, chuckling the whole way. Before she could say another word her father came over to her excitedly whispered…

"Daughter you never told us that you were close with the Prince. Forget about Bardock, if you can get to the King-"

Bulma rolled her eyes and said rather loudly, "Dad we are not close. I honestly have no idea why he is even here!"

"I am here to take you out on a date." Vegeta said over his shoulder before he turned around to give her a raised eyebrow. "Is that not what you requested of me earlier?"

Bulma was stunned at first then groaned. 'Of all the things he took from that encounter, that's what he takes?' She was gathering up her strength to yell at him when her parents were on her in a hot second.

"You never told us you asked the Prince out? How wonderful!"

"I knew something was wrong with you being so quiet tonight. You must have thought he rejected you."

"This explains why you weren't going after those other Saiyan boys. Going for the jackpot I don't blame you Dear."

"Yes this explains your odd behavior indeed."

"Can everyone just stop for a moment!" Bulma screamed, effectively shutting her parents up. She looked at Vegeta with furious eyes. "Let's talk outside."

Vegeta didn't budge and only stared back at her as if he was waiting for something. Bulma growled and said very quietly but enough for his Saiyan ears to hear, "Please...you're Highness."

Vegeta smirked and walked to the door and opened it up for her.

"Oh he's such a gentleman." Bunny swooned.

Bulma's eyes immediately rolled as she stomped outside with the Prince hot on her tails. She could hear her mother rejoicing through the door which was entirely embarrassing and wished that it was anyone but Vegeta in front of her.

He was amused by the whole thing. "Woman why can't you be more like your mother? I've yet to speak to her and she already worships the ground I walk on."

Bulma stepped up to him and poked an angry finger at his chest. "Leave my mother out of this. Why are you here really?"

"I've already told you twice. I am here to take you on a date. No let's go get this over with so that I can take this ridiculous clothing off." He ended by grabbing her hand.

She snatched it right back. "I am not having sex with you Vegeta!"

He narrowed his eyes. "That's not what I meant. I have a night planned and you are ruining it. Now let's go."

"You can't just-"

"Bulma dear..." Bunny said as she came outside. "…sorry to interrupt your majesty but please allow my daughter to come inside and change. It doesn't seem fitting for you to wear alien clothing and she isn't."

Bulma could not believe this. "Mom-?"

Vegeta nodded. "Yes I agree. I will wait."

"Oh splendid!"

"But-Mom wait..." She said as her mother dragged her back inside the house. She didn't know her mother possessed such strength. She didn't stop until they were inside her bedroom and started going through a bag of capsules. "Mom will you please just listen to me for a moment I don't wan-"

"Here we are!" She said holding up a capsule then pressing it. Instantly an airy yellow sundress was laid out on the bed with white ballet flats. "I had clothes made for you already for you to wear on your first date. Isn't it lovely?"

"Yes it's very pretty but-"

"You know mother's on Earth would day dream of their daughter's first real date. Not as much as the wedding or prom…but the first date is a big deal; Getting the right dress and make-up." She looked off sad for a moment as if she was recalling a life from long ago. "I know I've been pushy, but I have been so worried that you wouldn't be able to experience the same things that I experienced. I'm not smart like your father…I only know how to be a good wife and a good mom….and I learned that from my mother. But it's not that easy when you're in a foreign place. There are foreign traditions…and it's nice to keep some of our own. So I'm so happy that we get to do this. He even showed up to the house…and he's' a Prince!...I couldn't be more proud."

Bulma looked at her mother and gave her a small smile and fought with the guilty feeling she felt inside. Could she bring her down while she was so high…part of her screamed 'Yes that's what she gets for butting in her personal life'…while the other part said, 'would it really kill you to let her have this. So with a heavy sigh…she caved. She looked at the pretty yellow sundress and white slippers and only said, "Thank you."

Bunny squealed with joy. "You're gonna have so much fun!"

Bulma only smiled while thought, 'Doubt it.'

"Now just take your hair out of the pony tail and only add a little mascara to your eyes and you'll be fine. You don't need to wear a lot of makeup because you are gifted with a clean natural beauty. Besides he probably sees painted faces all the time so show him what an Earthling girl looks like."

Bulma sighed. "Ok mom."

Bunny left out and Bulma got dressed as quickly as possible. She followed her mother's advice and stepped out of her bedroom only to be assaulted her with pictures. Before she could reach the door handle, her mother busted with tears and her father was near teary eyed as well. She gave them both a hug not knowing how to give them the bad news later on when she tells them that nothing will ever happen with Vegeta. But at this moment she let them have their small happiness.

'I promise guys, I'll get you out of here and get you a life that will make up for the one you lost on Earth. One day I will.'

She walked out of the house and was too embarrassed to look Vegeta in the eye. She didn't look up until she heard a gasp. But his head was turned and she secretly wondered if she had imagined hearing it.

Vegeta's cheeks blushed and he was glad that it was dark outside. 'Great Oozaru she looks gorgeous. Blast! I already told her no sex. What in the world was I thinking?'

"Are you ready to go?" She asked.

"Of course I am. Took you long enough." He said walking toward her.

Bulma was about to say something smart but paused when he outstretched his hand to her. "What are you doing?"

"You don't fly correct?"

"Yes but what does-Hey!" She said as he very suddenly pulled her against him. "What are you doing?"

"Aren't you a genius?" Vegeta asked as he lifted off into the air causing Bulma to clutch his shoulders tightly in fear. Vegeta smirked at her and said, "Calm yourself Woman. I wouldn't go through all this trouble only to kill you. I will not let you fall."

Bulma didn't know why she found comfort in his words but she was. She only nodded to him and then he moved his arms so that he was carrying her bridal style. Bulma was thankful that her dress was long enough to not give him or anyone below them a show. And speaking of show, the view beneath her was amazing. Sure she had some flying devices but she could never go too high due to the fact that her father didn't want people to see what they created. But the lights beneath them and above them made it almost seem like there were stars all around them.

Bulma shivered a little and snuggled closer to Vegeta. There was a slight chill in the wind at this altitude and she told herself that she was only seeking body heat. Being this much closer to him she couldn't help but realized that he smelled really good. Her eyes traveled to his face and she hated to admit that he looked rather dashing in his attire tonight, but the way he looked right now with the wind blowing his hair back and his features concentrating yet peaceful, he had never looked so handsome. Plus the feel of his strong arms cradling her was definitely a bonus.

"Like what you see Woman?"

…and he just had to ruin the moment. "You jerk! You know you would be a decent guy if you didn't open your mouth."

"Like you're one to talk?"

"Whatever. Where are we going anyways?"

"We'll be there in a moment."

Bulma frowned. "The correct answer is, 'it's a surprise.' Don't you know how date's work?"

"It's not a surprise there's just no point in telling you when we are about to arrive."

Bulma frowned at him as she became annoyed with him all over again. 'I can't believe I was actually starting to be attracted to this jerk.'

They landed outside an Aquarian restaurant in the middle of Saiyan city's restaurant district. Bulma had heard about the restaurants here but had never been to one because it was super expensive. This restaurant in particular had food from the planet "Aqua". It was a water planet that was filled with nothing but fish. The species that lived there loved to trade their almost endless supply of fish like creatures for other things.

When they stepped inside Bulma gasped at the beauty of the restaurant. It was almost as if she was standing inside an aquarium. All the walls were filled with live fish. The floors and tables were blue and the ceiling was white with sea shell like chandeliers hanging from it. She looked around at the place and blinked in wonder. There weren't any other people there. "Are they closed?"

Vegeta laughed at her naivety. "Of course not. I just didn't want to look at a bunch of people as I ate. So I rented the place out."

Bulma took in his words and tilted her head to the side. "Does that mean that you only wanted to look at me?"

Vegeta only shrugged his shoulders and allowed the waiter to escort the middle of the restaurant. Their table had beautiful assortments of white, purple and gold candles that complimented the blues of the table very well. Bulma noticed that Vegeta didn't pull her chair out for her but realized that was something her mother had told her about Earth and he probably didn't know about the polite gesture.

'Good grief Bulma, are you making excuses for him now?'

Bulma looked at Vegeta and felt awkward. She nervously twiddled her fingers under the table and looked up at the ceiling as she cleared her throat. "So I assume that you already ordered since there are no menus."

"I told them to make everything."

"You what? Vegeta I can't eat all of that food. I'm not a Saiyan you know."

"Have you ever been here before?"

"No I-"

"Then you should try everything."

"But I can't eat that much."

"Woman just take a small bite of everything and you'll be fine. How you acclaim to be a genius is astounding."

"Excuse me jerk, but did it also occur to you that I wouldn't like wasting all that food?"

"Woman there is no such thing as wasted food on this planet. All left over food gets fed to animals or something. It is against Saiyan nature to 'waste' food."

"Oh...I didn't know that."

"Obviously."

"You know I really don't get you at all. You act sweet one moment-"

"I am not sweet Woman."

"Bulma is the name. And you know good and well what I'm talking about; going out of your way to wear alien clothing, flying me in your arms, letting me go through the door first. It's like you're Prince Charming one moment then Prince Douche the next."

"Who in the universe is Prince Charming?"

"He's...it's just a saying you have for-never mind. The point is you keep changing your behavior and it's confusing."

"You're one to talk Woman. You challenge me all the time and when I accept your challenge you get amnesia all of a sudden."

"I don't challenge you on purpose."

"You were furious when I showed up at your house when you are the one who told me to date you."

"I meant that's what you do when you like someone."

"If you didn't want me to try your suggestions then you wouldn't have mentioned it."

"I didn't want you to date me. I am only doing this because my parents-"

"Please. Did your parents also encourage you to sniff me and stare at me the whole way here?"

Bulma's face became red hot with embarrassment. "No, but-"

"And you talk about my pride. Woman, you want me and you know it. So I'll play along like you don't for now, but remember next time you start accusing of me things, you started this."

Bulma was more confused about Vegeta now then she was before. Did she start something? Did she really want him? Did she like him?

Her thoughts came to a halt when the waiters quickly filled up the table with food and also had some on trays on standby. She blinked at the variety of fish and squid like creatures for so long that Vegeta raised a curious eyebrow.

"Is it custom in your culture to stare at your food before you eat it?"

"No...I just don't know where to begin. I've never had this much cooked food set before me."

"Woman I honestly don't know how you live."

"Poor." She said as she crossed her arms offended. "Excuse me if I can't afford to eat like this."

"Well it's a good thing. You can stand to lose a few pounds. You were much heavier than I anticipated."

"EXCUSE ME?"

Vegeta laughed. "Calm down Woman. Humor is not tolerated in your culture either?"

"It's not funny or polite to talk about a woman's weight!"

Vegeta only shrugged his shoulders. "Look, it's simple; take a bite of food and rate it in your mind and compare the taste to others."

Bulma looked at the variety and felt overwhelmed. "There's no way I am going to remember all this food."

"You'll remember the best tasting dishes trust me. It doesn't matter if you're a Saiyan or not, you will remember good food."

Under the direction of Vegeta, Bulma managed to taste all the food on the table. He would critique her on how small of a bite she should take and laugh at the faces she would make if she thought it disgusting. She in turn would also laugh and found that she was actually enjoying herself. Vegeta was right when he said the food wouldn't be wasted because he polished off everything. She nearly cried tears laughing at Vegeta's stuffed face when she called him a 'fat man's fantasy'. She was almost disappointed when dinner was all over but she wouldn't have been able to take another bite anyways because her stomach was about to burst as it was.

"You ready to go?" Vegeta asked he stood up.

Bulma nodded and then thanked the staff for a lovely meal. When they got outside Vegeta placed his arms around her waist, but Bulma pulled away. "Let's walk for a while. If you take me up right now then I'll probably lose everything I just ate."

"Thanks for the visual."

They began to walk around the restaurant district of Vegeta and Bulma was in awe of all the different restaurants and their vibrant eye catching colors. She briefly thought of Chichi and her dream of having a restaurant here. Then she thought of her parents and their dreams. Could she date Vegeta? She noticed how people of different species would bow to Vegeta as they walked by and give her curious and respectful glances. She couldn't lie, she loved the attention.

"Thank you for taking me there. I really liked that place. I only wished my parents could have eaten some of that food."

"Compose a list of your favorites and then I will have the restaurant send the dishes to your home."

Bulma stopped walking and Vegeta turned around to look at her. "Why are you doing this? Is it really because you like me or because you're trying to get into my pants? Because that's not going to happen."

Vegeta growled in annoyance. "Yes you have already explained that earlier this evening. Perhaps I want to thank your parents for allowing me to date their daughter."

"But why?" Bulma asked as if she already knew the answer. "Because if it's for sex I am letting you know right now that I don't have much in the universe but the one thing I do have and own is my virginity and I'm not going to give it up. It's the only dowry I have for my husband and I intend to give it to him and him alone."

Vegeta felt like he was caught but he was not going to let her know that. "Woman if I wanted sex I would be having it right now."

"Not with me."

"So you have said. This night would go a lot quieter and easier without your accusations."

Bulma thought about it for a moment and perhaps she was being too judgmental. "Sorry."

Vegeta nodded then they started walking once more. "So if you were born rich, does that mean you would be a slut?"

Bulma was so shocked by his words that she actually laughed but not without punching him first. "No way."

"Please, I could completely see with a child before marriage. You're too much of a flirt."

"Whatever. First of all, not all rich girls are sluts. And just because someone has a kid doesn't make them a slut either. And virgins are allowed to flirt too."

"It has nothing to do with Virgins and everything to do with a person's personality and desire."

"Good thing you don't know what my desires are."

"Oh I'm pretty sure." He grabbed her suddenly and before Bulma knew it they up high above the city where it was just them, clouds and the night sky.

He was still holding her by her waist and was looking at her in such a way that almost had her breathless. "Aren't you going to fly me the other way?"

"I like this view better. So tell me, in your culture how do they end the date?"

"U-usually the guy asks for another date."

"And there is no physical interaction at all?"

"My mother always said that you're not supposed to kiss on the first date. The only exception is if there is an extremely romantic moment."

"And what of a moment like this?" Vegeta whispered right before he finally kissed her warm lips.

Bulma didn't hesitate and kissed him back. She hated to admit it but he really got under skin. She didn't know what it was about him but she couldn't get him out of her head. And tonight was just too good. He was too good.

Vegeta didn't know what it was about this girl, but everything she did drove him insane. He swore he could take her right there above the clouds. It's easier to do when both parties can fly but he was positive he could have managed if he needed to. It took almost every ounce of willpower to keep his hands at her waste and not move them up or down. He was going to give into her wishes for right now. But sooner or later she would have to give in to his.

Bulma was surprised when he stopped the soft yet breathtaking kiss. He only nipped at her nose and said, "I think it's time to get you home."

There was silence the rest of the way. When he dropped her off he didn't even kiss her again and she was surprised to be a little disappointed. She told her parents everything, except for the sex conversation, and they were both excited and began to talk about a hopeful future. She didn't say anything to them about her doubts about Vegeta and went to bed. Hopefully her confusion would be better in the morning...

The Next day...

"Kakarot just do it!"

Kakarot looked at his older brother and whined. "Raditz why can't you get Turles to do it? You know that Vegeta can tell when I'm lying."

"It's not lying. You want to fight him right? Then it's no different than any other day. I just need you to fight him until the training break is over."

"And the reason Turles can't do this is because?"

"He doesn't like the idea of me hanging around Bulma."

Kakarot was about to say it was a bad idea but he really couldn't talk since he was seeing Chichi again tonight. He didn't know if it was his guilt, her cooking, or her personality but he just couldn't stay away. "Fine I'll do it. But if he comes barging in, don't say I didn't warn you."

"Thanks little brother!" He said as he ruffled his hair.

"Hey, watch it." Kakarot said swatting his hands away.

"Since when do you care about your appearance?"

"I don't know." He said blushing.

Raditz narrowed his eyes. "You got a girl don't you?" Kakarot's eyes became large and Raditz laughed. "Good job. Who is she?"

"No one you know?"

"Ha please. I know every Saiyan woman on the planet...wait is she Saiyan?" Kakarot gulped and Raditz laughed again. "Alien huh? Is she a Hana?"

"No will you please drop it." He said with a threatening tone that surprised Raditz but only made him more curious.

It took a moment but it finally dawned on him. "You've been going back to that restaurant. Kakarot, father said to stay away from there."

"And Vegeta said to stay away from Bulma. Now do you want my help or not?"

Raditz was once again surprised by his little brother. "Well played. But if you get caught I knew nothing."

"Same here." Kakarot said as he left to go find Vegeta. The Prince was already in his private class that only F4 were in. He couldn't sleep and came to school earlier than usual. He could not get that blasted kiss out of his head. He flew away from her deliberately not kissing her again because he wanted to leave her wanting more.

Well that plan backfired. He had realized throughout the night that he didn't just want to bed her, but he wanted to see her. He actually enjoyed her company. As a matter of fact, he enjoyed their arguments as well. Things were getting pretty boring until she showed up. Before her, he was just waiting for the next moment to use the death card only so that he could be entertained. Then she came in and he hadn't had this much fun sense he made Kakarot cry that one time when they were kids.

He knew she was probably in the building and the idea to go see her was tempting but he was going to stay in his seat.

"Hey Vegeta?" Kakarot said as he came bouncing in the room. He sat down across from him and cracked his knuckles. "How about you and me do a one on one during training break?"

Vegeta smirked. "Alright Kakarot. Not too many people come to me volunteering to get beat up, but I'll accept."

"Oh we'll see about that."

Later during Training Break…

Bulma went to the training room that Raditz told her to go to and knocked on the door. A moment later it opened and Raditz stood to the side so that she could enter.

"What is she doing here?" Turles asked curiously.

"She's here to watch."

"Hi guys." Bulma said waving.

Turles gave his brother a death glare. All he said was, 'Hey lets train.' Not 'Hey let's get killed by Vegeta'.

Bulma looked at the spacious room and realized there was no place to sit. "I'll just sit here." She said as she sat Indian style on the floor.

"Yea make yourself comfortable. This will be over in a second."

"Please, I'm not going easy on you just because you have the Prince's girl here." He said with emphasis on the 'Prince' part to let his brother know that this was a stupid idea.

Bulma crossed her arms offended. "Hey I am no one's girl." She had been telling herself all day that it was just a date. And it was also just a kiss…just a kiss in the clouds under the stars. No big deal. No reason to fall for a guy. It wasn't a big deal. But the more she kept saying it, the more she knew it was a lie. She clapped her hands together and yelled, "Go Raditz!" to get her mind off the night before.

Turles looked at her then at Raditz. "Seriously?"

"Shut up dude. Hey I'll owe you."

"How about you just let me get first dibs on the tank?"

"Already planning on losing?"

"No but when Vegeta finds out about this he's going to nearly kills us both. So I get to go in first and if you bleed to death then it was by your own doing."

"I got Vegeta covered."

Meanwhile...

Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Kakarot. Something was up with him. He had practically begged him for a private session and wasn't even giving his all. Vegeta leg swiped him and sent him crashing to ground.

"Alright spit it out!"

Kakarot looked like a deer caught in head lights. "What are you talking about?"

Vegeta angrily grabbed his collar and slammed him against the wall. "You have that look on your face like you have done something stupid."

"I just wanted to fight you that's all."

Vegeta sneered. "More like keep me occupied. What's going on? Which brother is it this time?"

"I...uh..."

"Never mind. I'll find out for myself." He said shoving him away."

Kakarot thought about chasing him but he let it go. 'Well Raditz I tried to tell you.'

...

Bulma thought she would be bored out of her mind but she was fascinated by all the tricks and flips they were doing. She clapped her hands and applauded and even laughed once when Raditz gave his brother a noogie.

But all of her humour left out when Vegeta stormed into the room. His head immediately snapped to her and anger fueled him like no other.

Raditz and Turles stopped fighting instantly. Turles glared at his brother and gave him an 'I told you so' look.

Bulma smiled at Vegeta but it faded once she realized that he was angry. "What's wrong with you?"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Bulma was caught off guard but said, "Raditz asked me yesterday afternoon to come watch him train. What's the big deal?"

Vegeta was floored. "You actually have the nerve to go out with me then watch him train the next day?"

Raditz looked at Turles confused. He had no idea that the Prince made such a move. His brother was right; he was in a lot of trouble.

Bulma stood up. She was not going to be talked down to like a child. "What? I went out with you on a date. We didn't make anything official. Why are you acting like a crazy person?"

Turles tensed up just waiting to be attacked but not before saying, "Watching a Saiyan train is a big thing and goes beyond your alien concept of dating."

Bulma blinked at him in surprise. "Oh I didn't know."

Vegeta sneered at her and was ticked off that she had once again embarrassed him. He had gone out of his way to do something out of character and she threw it all back into his face. He needed to hit someone now!

"So you wanted to see Raditz fight huh?"

Turles stepped back just in time as Vegeta crashed into his elder brother. Bulma gasped in almost horror as she watched for the first time two guys fight brutally over her. Unlike the playful fighting that Raditz and Turles were doing, this was bloody and fierce.

Raditz got a few good licks in but Vegeta was obviously winning. He punched him in his face then used the same arm to crunch his nose with his elbow. Raditz stumbled back and then Vegeta kicked him in his gut and sent him to the floor. Vegeta was on him instantly and was punching him mercilessly.

Bulma couldn't take anymore and ran to them. Turles caught her though. She tried to pull away from him by screaming, "Vegeta stop! Please stop!"

Vegeta finally stood up and turned around to glare at Bulma again then started to walk out. She had tears in her eyes and ran over to Raditz. Which he was going to ignore but when he looked over his shoulder anger rose again.

"No! You don't get to nurse him back to health." He grabbed her arms and pulled the screaming girl away. He placed her over his shoulder and left the room. Many of the students that were nearby watched the scene but Vegeta didn't care. He just wanted her as far away from Raditz as possible. So he took her still kicking and screaming form and leapt into the air...

Meanwhile...

The Queen had settled in after her long trip off planet. She was happy to be home again. There was a knock at her door and she told the person they could enter.

Nappa appeared with a printed magazine in his hand and bowed. "Your Highness it is good to see you."

"What is it Nappa?"

"I just thought you should see this before you find out yourself."

She sighed and saw that it was from 'Like Us'. It was the number one pro-Saiyan alien magazine in the Empire. But once Nappa's meaty hands revealed the cover her jaw hit the floor. There was her son, the Prince of all Saiyans holding the Blue Alien Princess outside a restaurant. The title on the magazine said, "Alien Love" and she looked at him filled with rage.

"GET MY SON HERE NOW!"
