Chapter 9: The Party

Bulma was lying down on Chichi's bed looking at some old photographs. She always loved looking at old pictures taken of her family or Chichi's family when they were still on Earth. It was almost like a clue to the life she almost remembered. She really liked Chichi's pictures because there were trees and other plant life in them. She longed for the day she could actually run through a field and feel the grass beneath her toes and find shade from the hot sun under a large tree. It was one of many things that she dreamed about and those pictures helped her to hold onto her dream all the more.

Chichi walked into her small room with a tray of sweets and sat them down. "You're looking at those pictures again?"

"Can't help it Chi. It's my obsession."

"Obviously." She said sitting down next to her. "I showed Kakarot that picture of my mom."

Bulma looked over the pictures and saw the one with the young woman with dark hair holding a baby Chichi in her arms. "What did he say?"

"He didn't say anything. I wanted him to meet her in a way I guess; especially since my father isn't so thrilled to. Every time I try to set something up he always has something else to do."

"Well maybe he has held a bigger grudge against the Saiyans than you thought."

"I guess so. I keep telling him how great a guy Kakarot is and how he's not like any of the other Saiyans but he...I don't know. He just gets sad."

Bulma rubbed comforting circles on her friend's back. It had been almost a month since their double date and things were getting pretty serious between Kakarot and Chichi. Not that it wasn't getting serious with her and Vegeta, but Vegeta was nowhere near as emotional as Kakarot. Chichi had already dropped the 'L' word which was a reason why she really wanted her father to meet him. But even with the father drama Bulma knew that he wasn't what was really bothering Chichi...

"So by your gloomy expression I take it that Kakarot hasn't said 'I love you' back?"

Chichi frowned and crossed her arms. "Sometimes I think I was an idiot to say it in the first place and sometimes I think he doesn't even know what it means."

"Well maybe you need to explain to him why you love him."

Chichi exhaled a frustrated breath. "How could he not know?"

"Well maybe he doesn't understand. Explain it to him."

"I shouldn't have to."

"Well in the case of Saiyans I think you need to." Bulma said getting up and placing Chichi's pictures back inside of a small box she kept on a dresser.

"So what about Vegeta?"

"What about him?"

"Do you love him?"

Bulma laid back down on the bed and looked up to the ceiling. "I think I started to fall for him the moment I stepped in front of that weapon and attempted to save his life. So yea I guess so."

Chichi squealed with excitement and hit her arm playfully. "I have been trying to get you to admit that for like a month. I already knew the answer."

Bulma sat up and looked to the side. "That's because I didn't want it to be true. I mean I spend every day with him and we have a lot of fun but I don't know what he feels for me. And it would just be too painful to tell him the truth and then have nothing in return. At least you know that Kakarot has emotions for you."

"I understand your fear but perhaps you need to take some of your own advice and explain to him why you love him."

Bulma sighed with frustration as if she was trying to breathe out her problems. "His father's party is in a few days. Maybe I'll do it there."

"I don't know... perhaps you should do it before then. You don't want the night to be awkward especially with his parents being there."

"Well he is supposed to take me shopping tomorrow so maybe I'll tell him during that."

"Oh the shopping trip! I'm excited for you. Shopping with the prince, nothing will be off limits."

"I know I'm super excited!" Bulma squealed along with her friend.

The next day...

Bulma was surprised when Vegeta led her to a long flying car outside the school-grounds. The car was stretched to accommodate about 10 people. The inside was furnished with leather seats and soft carpet fit for a king.

"No flying today?"

Vegeta snorted at that. "Like I'm going to fly you and your bags. Get inside Woman we are wasting time."

Bulma nodded and got inside and was very pleased with the comfortable setting she was in. She ran her fingers down the smooth interior and said, "I didn't know you had vehicles."

"Of course I do. Companies give us crap all the time."

"Well this is far from crap Vegeta."

"Whatever."

It wasn't long before they arrived at tall skyscraper. It was the largest and most expensive shopping center in the capital. They landed on the roof and were immediately escorted inside the top floor. Bulma was once again surprised that day when she saw that she and Vegeta were the only customers there.

"You rented out the store?"

"Woman you should know me by now." He smirked as he ushered her into the middle of the store. There were long couches sat up around a stage that had long mirrors around the back and sides to get a full view of whatever stood in the center. Vegeta sat down on the couch and was quickly being served food and drinks.

"Go on Woman. I already informed them to put you in the best." He said waving towards the intendants.

Bulma walked with them and they ushered her into a fitting room. Moments later she emerged and came out with a black dress that had a feathered neckline and almost all of her back showing. Vegeta smirked and said, "That dress is pleasing, but I don't think it would go along with your reputation."

Bulma loved the dress and twirled around in front of the mirrors. It showed a lot of cleavage and all of her back and she felt sexy and dangerous. But Vegeta was right. That wasn't the impression she was trying to make. "Good call." She said as she left out. She came back out and Vegeta nearly choked on a piece of food when he saw her. She was in a skin tight red dress that had a sweet heart neckline and the bottom of the dress flared out slightly. Bulma looked at the dress in the mirrors and was about to turn to ask Vegeta what he thought when he suddenly came up behind her.

He was looking at her with hungry eyes. The same look he had when she would pull away from him when their little make out sessions got too intense. He placed his hand on her hips and brought her close to him.

"What do you think of this one?" Bulma asked smirking at him.

Vegeta kissed her ear before he said, "If you wear this dress...I will personally ruin your reputation." Bulma scoffed at his answer and he chuckled back. "So it is up to you Woman. But you have been warned."

He said leaving her and going back to his couch. Bulma felt really hot all of a sudden and knew that Vegeta was not bluffing. "I think I'll go change." She said as she picked up the bottom of her dress and stepped off the stage.

Vegeta watched her go and sighed. It was getting harder and harder to control himself around her. She was becoming a fast obsession. It didn't take him long to find out that he wanted her around him just to be around him. There had even been a couple times that he had brought her to his room to do nothing. She would ramble on about any and everything while he barely listened to her as he did reports for his father. He had no idea what he was getting into. All he knew was that he was far from bored.

"I think this is it Vegeta."

Vegeta tore away from his thoughts and gasped. 'She looks so beautiful.'

Bulma was wearing a black princess like ball gown, but what made it stand out was that it was sprinkled with diamond like stones. It blanketed the top of her dress then spread out more and more till it got to the bottom. The top hugged her perfectly and made her feel and look like a woman and a pretty girl all at the same time. She looked like she was literally wrapped in the universe.

Vegeta stepped onto the stage and nodded his approval. "We will see no more. Now to the rest."

"The rest?" Bulma asked.

"Unless you have jewelry and footwear that accommodates this gown then-"

"Oh wow! No I don't. I just didn't know that you were going to go all out on me." Bulma said blushing.

Vegeta not being able to resist not touching her delicate and smooth skin ran his hands up and down her arms as he looked at her through the mirrors. "You are my woman. You will be representing me at this gathering and I expect nothing but the best."

Bulma turned in his arms and kissed him lovingly. Vegeta happily kissed her back and was slightly surprised at how long she kissed him. When she finally stopped the kiss they were both panting a little. She then placed her hands on his face and looked him into his eyes.

"Vegeta I...I think I'm...I think I'm falling in love with you." She said nervous.

Vegeta stared at her for a long moment. He had heard the term many times when going to other planets especially in battle or on purge missions. Families would cling to each other and confess love or someone would shout it before they would attack. But it had no place in Saiyan culture. Which caused him to honestly ask, "I don't understand that emotion. Tell me what it means in your culture."

Bulma had expected him to say something along those terms. "It's the most powerful emotion you could feel for someone. You can find yourself doing things for that person that you wouldn't normally do for others."...She hesitated a moment and then added, "It even causes you to risk your life for that person."

Vegeta understood her meaning by that. After all she had already done that very thing for him. He knew that he would protect her but he couldn't fathom trading his life for hers. That was asking a lot.

"And how do you feel about me?" She asked while biting her lip, afraid of what he might say.

Vegeta frowned and looked away slightly. "Saiyans are not emotional creatures. I am doing things for you that I have not done for anyone else, which should be pleasing enough."

Bulma was a bit hurt by his response but nodded anyways. "Right, a man of action. I remember." She said turning away from him as well. "So about these shoes..."

"Yes." He said happy to change the subject. He turned to an attendant. "Bring her shoes that go along with the dress but nothing too high. I will not have her towering over me."

Bulma laughed and he frowned at her. It wasn't long before they found some 3 inch glass like slippers which reminded Bulma of a fairy tale her mother told her once. Then they brought in a diamond like necklace and matching earrings that were shaped like the royal symbol of Vegeta.

"There will be people sent to your home on the day of the party to do your hair and makeup. You need not worry of any of that." Vegeta said as he looked her over in approval.

Bulma smiled at him and kissed him on his cheek. "Thank you Vegeta. I never would have thought in all my life that I would be able to experience this."

"It is nothing Woman. Now get changed so we can eat."

Bulma laughed at his never ending appetite as she left to get dressed back into her armor. She was really pleased with the day so far but part of her was still upset that Vegeta didn't say the words she wanted to hear. 'I hope Chichi is doing a whole lot better than me.'

Meanwhile...

Chichi was talking to Kakarot in the back of her restaurant. Ever since Bulma had her interview and near death experience, business had picked up. They even hired more staff. She was in the back cooking up a storm and was glad when one of the staff was able to give her a break. She stepped outside with Kakarot and crossed her arms over her chest to continue the argument they were having moments before.

"I don't see why I can't go to the ball."

"It's by invitation only from the royal family. I can't invite you."

"Well why can't you ask Vegeta to invite me or do I have to get Bulma to ask Vegeta?"

"Chichi don't be like this." Kakarot pleaded.

"Well it's not easy being your girlfriend. Especially since you don't want to show me off." Chichi said hurtful as she looked to the side.

"Wait, I'm supposed to show you off?"

Chichi rolled her eyes at her boyfriend. "I don't know why I even bother. You have no concept of dating."

Kakarot stepped forward and grabbed her hands and pulled the stubborn woman into him. "All I know is you. I'm only going to be there for a little while then I'll be right here."

"You want to spend the night with me instead of being at a grand party?"

"I want to spend every night with you."

She kissed him then, extremely pleased with his answer. She then pulled away and mustered up the courage to ask the next question. "Kakarot what's going to happen to us years from now? Do you ever see us...getting married?"

"I don't know. All I know is that I want to be with you." He said pecking her lips once more. He could never get enough of her taste.

"Do you know why I told you that I loved you?"

He paused then. "Not really."

"Because you make me feel like the most important person in the universe. And I feel like I'm a better person when I'm with you. I know that if anything bad ever happens all I have to do is think about you and I'll be ok."

Kakarot felt that none too friendly feeling of guilt assault him. He knew that if she knew the truth there would be no way that she could ever confess such a thing. He was glad he made her happy, but he knew that it was based on half-truths. He held her and looked into her eyes and said, "I want you to promise me that you will always remember these feelings you have for me." He didn't know what made him ask such a thing; a moment of fear and selfishness perhaps. But he felt so desperate in that moment, as if someone was about to come around the corner and expose him.

Chichi was confused. She was hoping to get some type of confession from him not a request. She sighed and told him 'yes' as she realized the more she learned about Saiyan men, the less she knew.

Later that day...

Vegeta was about to get some serious training in since he spent most of the early hours messing around with Bulma when his mother sent for him. He didn't bother knocking and walked right into her bedroom where a couple of servants were hemming her skirt for the celebration tomorrow. She was wearing Saiyan armor of course but she also had a long black silky skirt instead of the normal saiyan fighting pants with a slit going up both sides.

"What is it that you want Mother? I am busy." He snapped.

The Queen waved off her attendants and watched them bow and leave the room before she addressed her son. "I heard about your shopping trip."

Vegeta clenched his fists together in frustration. He should have known that she would have a say in his early adventure with Bulma. "The woman needed the proper attire. Her family is not wealthy."

"What are your intentions with this girl Vegeta?" She said, her tone becoming serious as she stepped closer to him.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"I know that she was one of your stupid death card victims. Is she still?"

Vegeta was a bit surprised that she found out but it didn't matter now anyways. "No. That was before."

The Queen wasn't pleased. "Don't lie to me. Because it would make a whole lot more sense if she was. She hurt your pride and you are going to humiliate her the best way you can. Is this not the truth?"

"No it's not."

"Then are you telling me that you actually have feelings for her? Ever since you started your little relationship you two have been inseparable. And it all is becoming a little too suspicious for me. At first I thought it was a fling and that you were getting a little too carried away. So now I want to know what is going on. Are you playing a game or has my son, the heir to the Saiyan Empire become an emotional fool?"

"No." He seethed out.

"Then what is it?"

"I don't know!" He nearly screamed. He couldn't explain what was going on himself and even if he could he wasn't going to share it with his mother. The woman was impossible.

"Well until you can convince me otherwise I believe that it is the first option. I simply cannot believe that my son has fallen for an alien."

"Believe what you want. Now am I dismissed?"

"Yes you are." She said not even bothering to give him another glance as he walked out of her room. She clapped her hands loudly and her servants came in quickly to finish hemming her skirt. The Queen narrowed her eyes as she thought about her conversation with her son. She had gotten nothing from him. She was sure he was going to admit that he was using the girl but if he was he had let it go on for far too long. And with the whole universe watching his new romance it was not going to be good for the Empire at all when and if he were to be exposed.

'If Vegeta thinks he's going to play his games then he has another thing coming. I am going to end this before it could possibly get any worse.'

The Next evening Bulma was waiting nervously with her parents for Vegeta to come get her. Her mother had been in tears the whole night, sobbing out how beautiful her daughter looked and how next time she will be getting her hair done for the wedding. Bulma had given up early on in the night as far trying to get her to calm down. Her father didn't help either about his constant hints of 'celibacy'. At one point Bulma yelled at him and said, "Even if I wanted to I can't because everyone will think I'm a liar!"

But her father just held up his hands and said, "I understand, but you don't want to be known as the Prince's mistress."

Now she was ready to get out of there. So she was ecstatic to hear the knock at the door. Her father opened it and she and Vegeta's eyes locked instantly. He stared at her for so long that she was starting to think that he was going to say that something was wrong. But then he eventually smirked and extended his hand. Bulma happily took it and didn't even notice that both her parents were already assaulting them with pictures.

"Goodbye my Darling! Have fun!"

"Remember what I said Bulma." Her father added.

Bulma nodded to them and left out with Vegeta. She paused once she stepped outside and saw a similar vehicle like the one he took her shopping in except this one was silver. It was sleek and she could tell that it probably could get to some ridiculous speeds if it wanted to. Bulma walked to the door and stopped.

"What are you waiting for?"

"You're supposed to open the door for me Vegeta."

"Oh right." He said opening the door and helping her into the 'space limo' but not before sliding his hand down her back in a suggestive manner. Bulma raised an eyebrow at him and he smirked back. "Don't complain. I'm still getting used to this culture of yours."

Bulma crossed her arms and tried not to smile at his playfulness. "That excuse isn't going to last forever."

Vegeta didn't respond and not able to resist any longer kissed her on the lips. "I approve highly of your appearance Woman." Bulma blushed at the compliment and he kissed her rosy cheeks and started to make his way down her neck.

Bulma pulled away and let out a giggle. "Vegeta you're going to ruin my makeup."

"They did too good a job Woman. You should have told them to stop so it is your fault not mines." He said as he kissed her lips, cheek and neck once more.

Bulma shuttered and closed her eyes as she said, "Well if I didn't know any better I would say that the Prince of all Saiyans is starting to fall for me."

Vegeta paused his movement. His mother had accused him of the same thing the day before and Bulma herself had admitted to having similar feelings for him. He pulled away enough to look into those gorgeous eyes that had captivated him the first time he saw her. He didn't know what possessed him to say the next thing, but all he really wanted to do was go back to kissing those luscious lips. "Perhaps." He said as he bent his head down to do just that.

Bulma's eyes and stomach had a race of what bodily part fluttered first. Sure it wasn't exactly what she wanted to hear but it was closer than anything she had received so far. If the night was going this good already, what else was going to happen?

When they arrived at the palace, Bulma was in awe of all the aliens that were already there. Most she had never even seen before. But everyone was dressed regally and she took pride in the person she was walking in there with. She loved when Vegeta was dressed from head to toe in his royal black armor with his red cape flowing behind him. She really did feel like the luckiest woman in the universe. She gasped when they entered into the ballroom. It was draped beautifully with reds and purples and lush gold like interior and the marble floor looked like something that one could only dream of.

"Are you ready Woman?"

Bulma's attention was brought back to her boyfriend and she nodded to him. Vegeta inclined his head to the announcer and he said with a booming voice...

"Prince Vegeta and guest!"

Bulma walked next to him down the middle of the room and soaked in the fact that rulers from all over were bowing around and next to her in respect and honor of the man walking beside her. They reached the end and they both bowed to the King and Queen seated on their thrones.

"Ah Vegeta I see you have brought your woman. Is she a gift?" The King joked, amused at how his son's tail tightened at his humor.

"That's not funny."

"It is to me. Oh don't be upset son. The girl knows that I am joking. Isn't that right child?"

"Yes your highness."

Vegeta was ready to take Bulma away before his parents could annoy him further when his mother decided to speak.

"Vegeta I will have a word with Bulma." The Queen said as she stood up.

"May I ask what about?" He didn't trust his mother. He respected her and obeyed her commands...most of the time, but didn't trust her at all.

The queen smirked back her son. "You may ask but I will not answer. Come Bulma."

Bulma nervously followed the Queen, leaving her boyfriend behind. She was not expecting that at all. They walked toward a side entrance and right before she left out she saw the Sons of Bardock and smiled to them. Then fear started to claw at her once she realized she was walking away from the only security that she had known. But then again, could they protect her from the Queen anyways?

Vegeta watched her go out and was not pleased at all. Kakarot came up to him, with a not surprisingly mouthful of food. "What's that about?"

Vegeta stared at the door they left out of as if it was the cause of all his problems. "I have no idea."

Meanwhile...

Bulma was following the Queen in silence, the only sounds being heard was the clicking of her heels as she walked behind her. All she knew was that it was wise to remember how they got there in case she needed to escape. When they finally stopped in a hall the Queen typed in a code and stepped into a dark room. Once inside the lights lit up and Bulma walked in behind her.

Bulma was surprised that they were inside a large laboratory. She had always wondered what the labs looked like in the palace but she had no idea it would be this huge and grand. Everything she would ever need to work with seemed to be in there.

"Go ahead."

Bulma looked back to the Queen at a loss of what was happening. She had no clue as to why the Queen brought her there. "I'm sorry I don't understand."

The Queen placed her hands on the back of Bulma's shoulders and guided her to a large computer. "This is Bardock's lab and this is his personal computer. Go ahead, I know you are capable of hacking into it."

Bulma's eyes widened and then she shook her head. "Your Majesty-"

"You honestly think that I wouldn't find out about your talents?"

"I-"

"I am offended Bulma. I am the Queen, I know everything at all times."

Bulma felt like she was just caught stealing cookies. She didn't know why she didn't want the Queen to know about what happened but she wanted any impression she had of her to be of something she did or said to her. Not what she did to others. But there was still something that she was confused about.

"Why would I want to hack into his computer?"

"Because you want to know the truth."

"The truth about what?"

"Earth."

Bulma felt like the floor shook with that one word. She looked back at the computer not sure of what to do.

The Queen stepped closer and said, "Don't be afraid. I am the Queen and I trump Bardock. So do it. Find out what you and I both know what you want to find out."

Bulma hesitated. She adored Kakarot and respected his brothers. But she had to know. With another assuring nod from the Queen she began to type on the computer and using all the familiar codes that she knew to find out what she needed to about Earth. At first she found what she always did, but there was another encrypted file about Earth on his computer that had even higher blocks then all the other ones ever had. Once she opened it there was a picture that she had at first dismissed as another planet within the solar system but as she looked again she noticed something that pierced her very soul.

She staggered back and then leaned forward gripping the desk for support. "This...this is earth?" She couldn't even cry tears yet she was so hurt. As she looked at the numerous files and footage that was staring at her she saw the truth that she always feared. Everything she ever wanted to do was gone. No oceans, no fields, no resources, just a wasteland. Her Earth was gone. She gasped as aching sobs attacked her body in such painful agony.

The Queen quickly realized that she didn't enjoy seeing Bulma this way. She was not an unpleasant girl but she was just thrown into the wrong circumstance at the wrong time. It was too bad that she had cared for her son. The child was doomed to have a broken heart. But if the Queen was going to do this then she needed to finish it. "Keep reading Bulma and you will know...who is responsible."

Bulma shook her head. It couldn't get worse. It just couldn't. It-...then she saw the name of the person that was the cause of her hopeful life being thrown away.

"Ka-kakarot?"

"Yes Child."

"No!" She screamed as she swiped the desk in anger not wanting to read anymore. The things on the desk crashed to the ground and broke like her dreams to find paradise on her now dead planet.

"It can't be true! That would mean that they would have known. They would have known. They...and they..."

"They didn't tell you. Vegeta personally had Bardock cover up the truth to keep you from it."

'Vegeta? Vegeta was a part of this?'

"Why?" She said as hot tears of rage and betrayal burned down her cheeks.

"Because my son and his friends like to play with people. You unfortunately are no different."

Bulma closed her eyes not believing a word the Queen was saying as she leaned over the desk once more. Vegeta couldn't have known. Could he? Could this have all been a plan? A game?

"No!" She yelled out loud refusing to listen to what the Queen was saying. She squeezed her eyes shut even harder wanting it all to go away, not caring that her running mascara was now burning them. She would rather feel that pain then what was going on inside of her. She loved him; she knew she did so this had to be wrong. She shook her head and yelled out, "I don't believe it! I won't believe it...Vegeta cares about me. I know he does. I can't! I-"

*flap*

Bulma opened her eyes at the sound of a card hitting the table. All the air left her body when she looked down and saw the infamous death card in front of her.

The Queen whispered quietly so that she would have to pay attention to hear. "You were the only person that received one that did not grovel to Vegeta. Did you honestly think he would let you slide?"

Bulma grasped the card with shaky fingers. She hated that card. She hated everything about it and everything it stood for. That card was the start of it all. And it made her feel like the biggest fool in the whole universe.

"Why are you telling me this?" She said in a defeated tone.

"Because I know of your talents and I don't ever want to punish you one day because you decided to get revenge on my son. I will deal with him. I don't like this treatment in my empire. Remember that it was I who gave you the opportunity to expand your education and bring you to the school. You might have some hesitation of serving my son in the future, but perhaps when he finds out that he can no longer play his games then he will finally grow up and become the ruler he is supposed to be. But in the meantime Bulma, I need to know that you are loyal to me and the present King's reign. If not then I will have to keep an eye on you and your talents."

Bulma straitened and looked forward not wanting to face the Queen. "I will remain loyal, as long as you promise to keep Vegeta and his friends from doing this to anyone else."

"I'll make sure of it personally. If you want you do not have to attend the school any longer."

"No I am not a coward. I'm not going to run from anyone. No matter who they are."

"Should I send for someone to send you home?"

"Not until I say goodbye. Excuse me; I'm just going to freshen up." She said as she left to go find a bathroom.

The Queen thought of following the girl but decided against it. The girl was so emotionally torn that it was a strong possibility that she could end her own life. If she committed suicide then that would solve a lot of problems. Then no one would say anything because she would be seen as weak and a coward for doing so. 'Oh well to the celebration.' The Queen thought pleased of what just happened.

Bulma found the nearest bathroom and wiped her running makeup off her face. She was not going to shed another tear. They all thought her as weak well they had another thing coming. She was going to take things into her own hands from now on. She didn't even trust the Queen. She probably thought she was in her cutting her wrists. But even she had another thing coming.

She had to give a calming breath as she thought of Vegeta. She was just starting to fall in love with him. She thought he had shared similar feelings. But even if what the Queen said was untrue, the facts were still there. They all knew, the whole time, and didn't say anything. Even manipulated her into believing that a false planet was her home. Who does that? What kind of cruel sick joke was this? Well if they thought they could predict her actions and manipulate her then they thought wrong. She was Bulma Briefs and only the God of the Universe knew what she was capable of. Everyone else was about to be in for a big shocker.

But first things first...She touched a stud that she had pierced at the top of her ear and it instantly became her own private virtual scouter. She called the person she had in mind, debating whether or not to tell her in person or not, but she had to because she didn't know how this night was going to end. She hated giving bad news to someone over a communication device.

"Chichi? I have something to tell you..."

A little while later...

Vegeta drummed his fingers on the arm of his chair not really paying any attention to the gifts being offered to his father. He looked to the main entrance wondering where in the world Bulma was. His mother had already returned and she had told him not to go find her and that she would arrive shortly. But that shortly had turned into a half an hour. Finally letting his impatience get the best of him, he got up and strolled over to the side where his comrades where. He was about to order them to go find Bulma when he saw a flash of Blue out the corner of his eye. He turned and saw her speak to the announcer for a moment then she trailed her eyes to the throne and then over to him. She marched over to him with a look of an emotion that did nothing but cause confusion to form in his mind. When she made it over to him he half expected her to strike him but all she did was sneer at him and said,

"I know Vegeta..."

It was like everyone else disappeared in the room and it was just Bulma and F4. It seemed like silence gripped all of them as Bulma's words hung in the air. No one needed to ask. They already knew what she was talking about. The four boys all felt uneasy as she slid her eyes that were surprisingly filled with a newfound hatred and aimed it at Kakarot. "...and Chichi knows too."

Kakarot instantly became pale as panic seized his entire body as he ran out of the room determined to find Chichi and explain...something to her.

Meanwhile Vegeta growled and reached for Bulma determined to pull her into the Hall so that they could talk but she stepped away and surprised him and everyone else in the room by yelling out,

"I Bulma Briefs have a gift for the King!"

Author's Note: Drama, Drama! For fans of Cosmic Love, the first two dresses that Bulma tried on were in that story.
