A/N:Hey everyone, here's the next chap. I hope you like it. Please Read and Review. I love hearing what you think. BTW thanks for all the awesome reviews so far.
Chapter 6:
"You shouldn't bend like that Babe, some guys won't be able to control themselves and I don't think you want to be pushing around a stroller, now do you?" Bulma recognised the voice immediately as Yamcha's and got over her shock. She put her hands over his and interlocked their fingers.
"Oh don't you worry Honey, I can protect myself." She said in a sickeningly sweet voice and pulled Yamcha's hands off her before she stepped forward quickly, disturbing his balance, and letting go of his hands. She suddenly spun around and kicked him in the face, sending Yamcha to the floor in seconds. Bulma put her foot back in the ground, pulled her skirt down a bit because it had ridden up a little when she kicked him, crossed her arms and looked down at Yamcha who was holding his nose. There was a cut on his left cheek where her heel had sliced him and blood was running down his jaw because of it.
"Don't ever touch me like that again! The only guy that will ever get to hold me like that will be my boyfriend. I am not one of your slutty fan girls with a need to lose my virginity to some moronic asshole." Bulma said in a voice so calm and cold that Vegeta would have been proud. Yamcha looked at the beautiful girl standing above him and decided that he would have to change is tactic if he was going to have her.
The rest of the gang shook their heads in disgust and turned to walk to their cars. Yamcha was still on the ground when a group of girls walked out of the school. They all ran to him, asking what happened and if they could do anything for him to make it better. Bulma followed her group while once again taking a capsule out of her bag. When she popped it, open a sleek black Mercedes SLK appeared. She said goodbye to her friends and got in her car. She drove through school gates almost at top speed and Chi Chi just looked after her in worry; one day that girl is going to kill herself with her love for speed.
Bulma raced home and in no time, she stopped in front of the imposing iron gates. The guard at the gate waved as he opened them and she smiled and wove back as she drove through, heading to park near the front door. Bulma stopped her car and jumped out. She grabbed her bag and walked to the front door of the domelike building.
"Daddy, I'm home!" she yelled as she walked into the foyer. When she did not hear a reply, she walked to the kitchen, dropping her book bag on one of the chairs surrounding the breakfast island. Bulma opened the fridge and took the already made sandwich that was left for her. She took the milk as well and grabbed a glass off the counter next to the fridge. With everything in hand, she walked back to the island and sat down. While she was pouring her milk, her dad walked into the kitchen. He was a short man with grey hair and moustache. He was a lot older than the average teenage parent, but that never bothered Bulma. He was the owner and founder of Capsule Corporation and that made him one of the richest men in the universe. Some claimed he was the true king of earth, but because they were ruled by the tyrant, Lord Frieza, earth no longer had a king.
Earth was part of the Light Way solar system and The Dragon's Eye galaxy. The Dragon's Eye galaxy only consisted of three solar systems; The Light Way, Stardust and Dark Zone solar systems. The galaxy also only had 27 planets. The other galaxies in the universe each had about a hundred planets, making The Dragon's Eye the smallest of them all, but despite the size, it was also the most powerful.
Bulma smiled at her father as he scratched the head of the kitten on his shoulder and continued eating her sandwich. Her father took an apple out of the bowl in the centre of the island and ate it deep in thought.
"What's wrong daddy? You look distracted." Bulma said finishing off her delicious sandwich and gulping down her glass of milk more like an overeager young boy than the mature girl she was supposed to be. Her father just smiled, still eating his apple.
"Just thinking about a new project dear. How was school?" The old man looked at the beautiful girl before him and felt pride swell in his chest. She was intelligent, beautiful and powerful in her own right. All across the universe there was no one like her. She was somewhat egotistical, highly stubborn and overconfident at times, but her good qualities by far outweigh her bad ones.
"Need some help dad? And school was great thanks, a few new guys enrolled and I'm captain of the girl's team again." Bulma got up and put her plate and glass in the sink. She was rinsing them off when her stepmom entered the kitchen. Well in Bulma's eyes, Bunny Briefs was her real mom. She was the most caring and loving woman Bulma knew, even if she was a little ditzy at times.
"Hey mom. What have you got there?" Bulma walked over to her mom and kissed her on the cheek.
"Oh nothing important dear, just groceries. I heard you telling your dad that you made captain again. I am so proud of you! Tonight we celebrate, so go do your homework and then get ready. We are going out tonight. And put on that pretty new dress of yours." Bunny quickly put the grocery bag on the counter, grabbing Bulma's book bag and pushed Bulma out the door in the direction of the stairs, hanging the bag over Bulma's shoulder. Bulma shook her head and smiled as she started walking on her own. Bunny headed back to the kitchen.
While Bulma was walking up the stairs, she could hear her parents talking.
"Did you pick up the gift dear?" she heard her father say. She walked slower to hear her mother's answer, but her mom just giggled. Bulma was curious, but decided to leave it, she would find out soon enough.
Bulma took the last few steps up the stairs quickly and ran to her room. Bulma moved to her bed and sat down. She started taking off her boots. Her phone beeped and she grabbed it out of her jacket pocket. It was a text from Goku. It read:
*Heading over to Vegeta's house now. I'll send you the size as soon as I have it*
Bulma was shocked that her goofball of a best friend had remembered her request and assumed that Chi Chi had reminded him. I'll have to thank her later. Bulma quickly finished taking off her shoes and walked barefoot to her desk, book bag in hand. She texted a "thank you", back to Goku and started on her homework.
When she was done, she looked at her watch and saw that it was already almost seven. She got up and striped down to her underwear, glad that she had showered at school, and strolled to her walk-in closet. She walked straight to the dress her mom suggested and slipped it on. It was a navy blue dress with a heart shaped neckline and thick shoulder straps. It was very form fitting and ended about mid-thigh with a slit on each side. She walked over to her shoes, picked out a pair of matching navy wedge heels, and went to her vanity. She brushed her long hair and styled it in a loose side braid that came over her right shoulder with small curls hanging around her face. ((A/N: Much like Elsa from Frozen's, just much longer.)) She touched up her makeup and added some mascara and light blue eye shadow.
Bulma smiled at her reflection and headed out her bedroom door. She walked down the stairs hearing her parents talking in the living room. Bulma walked into the living room and stopped in her tracks.
"Look who dropped by dear." Bunny was smiling at the tall guy sitting next to her husband. Bulma had not stopped because Goku was sitting on her couch, but because she did not expect to see him before tomorrow. She walked over to her grinning best friend and smiled back at him.
"Hey B. I got what you asked me for." Goku said smiling at her before picking up the leather jacket that was next to him on the couch. Goku stood and handed it to her.
"Goku you were only supposed to get the size, not steal the jacket." Bulma shook her head laughing at the goof of a boy.
"It didn't have a label and I did not know what else to do." Goku smiled nervously at her and scratched the back of him head. Bulma look at the jacket in her hands and it was easy to see that it had been handmade and very expensive. Bulma smiled again and put the jacket over the back of the couch.
"Seems that I'm going to have to have another one made for him so I'll ask Georgio to make me one off the measurements of this one. Thank you Goku." Bulma smiled thinking about Vegeta's face when he can't find his jacket. Goku grinned and started heading for the door.
"Well, I gotta go. See you tomorrow B. bye Dr and Mrs Briefs." With a quick wave, Goku was out the door and took off into the air. Bulma shook her head again and looked at her silent parents.
"Why did you need Goku to get the size of a guy's jacket Bulma dear?" Bunny looked at her daughter and smiled sweetly.
"There is this new guy in our school and we decided to invite him to join TZF, so I need to paint the insignia onto a jacket for him." Bulma said shrugging it off as if it was nothing.
"Oh okay dear. Are you ready to leave?" bunny smiled and stood with purse in hand waiting for her husband.
"Yeah, let's go. I'm hungry." Bulma walked out of the living room and to the front door, heading out to the Rolls-Royce waiting for them. The chauffer opened the back door for her and Bulma slid into the backseat, waiting for her parents to follow.
The Divini's was a 5-star restaurant and by far Bulma's favourite. When the car door opened, the chauffer helped her out. She smiled at him and slowly walked towards the entrance. Her parents were right behind her and she saw a few cameras going off. Don't those idiots have anything better to do then take my picture? I know I'm beautiful, but really? Bulma put a fake smile on her face and walked into the restaurant. The Maître' de quickly came to Bulma's side and smiled at her.
"How are you this evening Miss Briefs?" he asked in a slightly accented voice.
"I'm fine thank you Geovanni." Bulma smiled at the thin Italian man and walked with him. The restaurant was decorated to resemble the lush roman era with dark reds, gold's and blues. Their usual table was in one of the corners surrounded with a few plants and a waterfall against the one wall. Bulma sat down in the chair closest to the wall and took the menu from Geovanni. Soon after she was seated her parents also arrived, they had been caught up talking to one of her father's business partners.
"Thank you Geovanni, we shall let you know when we're ready to order, but bring us a bottle of champagne please. We have something to celebrate." Bunny bubbled and sat down in the chair her husband had pulled out for her.
"So tell me about this new boy at your school dear." Bunny turned to her daughter excitedly. Bulma just rolled her eyes and told her mom what happened at school.
Meanwhile across the restaurant Vegeta was staring at the blue haired goddess. He had known the moment she had entered and he had imagined his heart starting to pound in his chest. He cocked his head to one side while he was watching her and could not help but think how amazing she looked in that dress and the slit that showed more of her thigh than Vegeta could handle, but still hoping her dress would move up a little bit more. . . Not this shit again. For fuck's sake Vegeta, wipe the drool off your chin and stop staring. Vegeta frowned and looked away quickly, focusing on the menu, but not for long. When he looked at her again he saw that she had crossed her legs and that the dress had moved up her leg even more and he balled his fists.
"Hey, isn't that Dr Briefs?" Nappa shook Vegeta out of his thoughts and directed his attention to the man sitting across from his current obsession. She's not my obsession. My only obsession is my training.
Vegeta frowned and turned his head to the old man. He recognized him immediately. Dr Briefs Senior was the former King of the Sayians' scientific advisor and friend. Vegeta had seen the man many times when he was still on his home planet and had a lot of respect for him. Vegeta sneered when he realized that the old man must have been Bulma's father even if he was old enough to be her grandfather two times over.
In the back of his mind there was a memory trying to break free about Dr Briefs Senior, but Vegeta could not for the life of him recall what it was that seemed strange about the old guy having such a young daughter.
Vegeta stood up from his chair and walked in the direction of the Woman's table. He knew the moment the doctor realized who he was and with a slight shake of his head discouraged the man from address him by his title. Vegeta stood next to the table, with Nappa right behind him.
"Vegeta! What are you doing here?" Bulma asked with shock evident in her voice.
"I also need to eat Woman and this buffoon can't cook to save his life." Vegeta stated matter-of-factly and gestured to the hulking man behind him. Bulma look at Nappa. He was truly gigantic, with a baldhead and moustache. He was very intimidating, but Bulma saw something strange in his eyes when he looked at her. It was as if he recognized her from somewhere, but Bulma could never think where she would have met him. Shaking her head, she looked back at Vegeta, smiling at him.
"Well hello there. I am Mrs Bunny Briefs, Bulma's mom and this is my husband, Dr Theodor Briefs. It's so nice to meet one of Bulma's little friends." The ditzy blond babbled on and on about how great Bulma's other friends were and that she was sure Vegeta was just as great, judging by how handsome he was. Vegeta stared in disbelief at the blond woman and was about to say something rude when the doctor interrupted.
"You are welcome to join us. We're celebrating the fact that Bulma made captain again this year. We are so proud. But please Vegeta, take a seat." Dr Briefs pointed to the two open chairs and Vegeta was reluctant to sit down. Nappa leaned in and whispered in his ear.
"Do not be rude, my Prince. I have a feeling there is more to this. Stay and convince the doctor to talk to you in private later on." With that, Nappa stood back again, his hands behind his back and waited for Vegeta to take his seat. Vegeta shot him a quick look and debated whether to sit next to Bulma or to allow Nappa to sit anywhere near her. Basically, his heart was fighting his mind, but in the end, he reasoned that by sitting next to Bulma, he could look the doctor straight in the eyes, thus his heart won, but he would never admit it.
Vegeta sat down next to his blue haired classmate and folded his arms over his chest. Nappa took a seat across from Bulma and was studying her subtly. There was an awkward silence but before it could be broken, the champagne arrived. The waiter opened the bottle, pouring each person a glass and hurried off.
"Well to Bulma. May you concur all your mountains and stand strong no matter the case." Dr Briefs toasted. Vegeta just nodded slightly and took a sip of the alcohol.
"So Goku was over at my house earlier and said that he had been to your house to talk about Sayians. I would also like to know a little bit more, if you don't mind. I've always been fascinated by your race." Bulma smiled at Vegeta and waited for him to answer her question.
"What do you already know Woman?" Vegeta asked, annoyed. Both Bulma's parents and Nappa were watching the scene in silence.
"All I know is that your people were the strongest in the universe and that Frieza killed almost all of you because of the fear that you would overthrow him. I wanted to ask more about you culture and beliefs." Bulma looked at him with sparkling blue eyes that hungered for knowledge.
Vegeta stared at the beauty next to him and smirked. She was too curious for her own good.
"What do you want to know Woman?" Vegeta asked looking at her with slight amusement.
"Well, what planet are you from for starters. I know I asked you earlier, but you didn't wanna tell me." Bulma pouted at the memory and Vegeta smirked.
"Yes well, the name of the planet does not matter for it was lost 15 years ago, that is when I left." Vegeta said, not giving much information at all.
"How many of you are left?" Bulma wanted to know more about the planet, but she knew Vegeta would only tell her if he wanted to.
"As far as I know only 3; Me, Kakarot and Nappa." Vegeta said taking a drink of champagne. Bulma looked at Nappa and smiled at him.
"Nappa, are you Vegeta's father or something?" Bulma looked at the big man and knew he was not Vegeta's dad, but she also knew she would get more info out of him then out of Vegeta.
"No, I am his guard. I was there when he was born and since then I was assigned to protect him." Nappa stated and stared at the beautiful girl before him. She reminded him of someone, but he was struggling to remember whom.
"Why would such a handsome and strong young man need a bodyguard?" Bunny asked in her high-pitched voice.
"His parents wanted to make sure he was safe at all times, ma'am." Nappa answer without taking his eyes off Bulma. Vegeta saw this and frowned at his guard.
"I still do not know why, I am much stronger than you and can defend myself." Vegeta leaned back in his chair and looked at Bulma through the corner of his eye. She was taping her chin, thinking of a new question probably.
"Vegeta, you said something about the royal families earlier. How many families are there?" Bulma smiled at him again. Before Vegeta could say anything Nappa answered for him.
"In the beginning there was only one. The Legendary King Broly ruled the planet. He was all-powerful and ruled our planet well. When it was time for him to choose a successor, he did not have an heir. In the end, he chose five families to rule the five regions of our planet, but the family that held the most power was the family of his best friend and royal advisor. When Broly died the advisor became the king over the whole planet, but the other families became royal and ruled over their own piece of land." Nappa looked at Dr Briefs; he knew the old man knew all of this.
"Wow. Who was the advisor and where are the old families now?" Bulma asked excitedly.
"All the families were lost, except for the crown prince of the planet." Nappa once again answered before Vegeta could stop him.
"Wow. That is so sad." Bulma looked down at the table.
"It does not matter now." Vegeta grumbled, he knew she would figure it out eventually, it was just a matter of time.
"Let us eat. While you were talking to Bulma, I told the waiter to bring us everything on the menu. I know Sayians eat a lot." Dr Briefs looked at the young man again.
As if summoned by the doctor's voice a group of waiters appeared, their arms loaded with food. They placed the food in the centre of the medium sized table and walked off, only to return with more. Bulma and her parents looked at the selection and took some of the delicious dishes. When the Briefs' plates were filled Vegeta and Nappa started eating the rest. Nappa ate much like Goku; inhaling the food without tasting it, while Vegeta ate with impeccable manners, even if he ate fast.
They chatted idly while they ate and the night passed quickly with only Bunny leaving many comments about how handsome and well-mannered Vegeta was. Bulma just rolled her eyes and Vegeta sneered a bit, but by the end of the night, he decided just to ignore the older woman.
"Well it is time for us to go. You two still have school tomorrow." Dr Briefs said, standing up from his chair. Vegeta and Nappa followed suit and Bulma and her mother soon did the same. They all headed for the doors and Dr Briefs just spoke softly with his wife while the others stay silent.
When they got outside the Rolls was already waiting for them. Bulma's mother waved at the two men and climbed into the car with no further comment. Bulma smiled at Vegeta and walked over to stand in front of him.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow Veggie-Head. Don't be late." She winked at him and he growled at the nickname.
"Would you stop calling me that Woman? It's stupid." Vegeta huffed, not pleased at all.
"Oh stop being such a party-pooper." She leaned in and kissed his cheek, "See ya." With that, she climbed into the car next to her mother. Vegeta stared at her in disbelief. She did it again. She kissed my cheek and caught me totally off guard. Dr Briefs just smiled knowingly and moved to get in.
"Briefs, I would like speak to you alone as soon as possible." Vegeta stated just low enough so that Bulma and her mother would not hear. Dr Briefs nodded and handed Vegeta a card.
"I still have my scouter so you can either contact me on that with the code on the back of the card or phone my office with the number on the front. You can contact me any time and I will organise a meeting. Take care," Dr Briefs bowed slightly, hoping the two women in the car do not see, "Prince Vegeta." The doctor scrambled into the car and when he saw Vegeta nod he closed the door and they drove off.
Vegeta watched the car drive away. He turned to Nappa, waiting for his Mustang. He only flew when he needed to, because it gave away where he was when is Ki spiked to high and they had learned to avoid Frieza by suppressing it.
"Memorize his scouter code. We will contact him tomorrow. I want to know what secrets he and my father had." Vegeta said handing the card to Nappa, just when his car arrived. He grabbed the keys from the valet and got into the driver's seat.
Nappa got in and Vegeta stepped on the gas pedal, sending car forward with great speed, but he still had total control. The car was silent, so Vegeta turned on the radio and suddenly the speakers were pumping out Break by Three Days Grace.
Tonight, my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I've tried but nothing is working
I won't stop
I won't say I've had enough
Tonight, I start the fire
Tonight, I break away
Vegeta tapped his fingers on the steering wheel; enjoy the beat of the song. Nappa just shook his head; he did not like this type of music much.
[Chorus:]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places
(ohhh, ohhh)
At night I feel like a vampire
It's not right
I just can't give it up
I'll try to get myself higher
Let's go
We're going to light it up
Tonight we start the fire
Tonight we break away
Vegeta could feel some of the stress leaving his body. The music was one of the few things he loved about earth; along with the amazing cars and wonderful food.
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places
They were almost at the mansion and Vegeta slowed so that he could listen to the whole song.
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take (take) yourself (yourself)
To higher places
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places
(ohh…higher places)
(ohh…to higher places)
(ohh…higher places)
Take yourself to higher places
As Vegeta stopped the car in the courtyard, he turned the radio off and headed straight for the front door, not even looking back at Nappa. As Nappa got out of the car, he capsulized it and headed after Vegeta.
"You Highness, I recognized that girl. I do not know from where, but I know her face for sure." Nappa said before Vegeta could disappear up the stairs.
"What do you mean Buffoon?" Vegeta turned to him with an irritated and puzzled look on his face.
"I'm just saying that I know her eyes. And they did not come from Dr Briefs. Moreover, I do not know how he can be her father. He must have been at least 60 when she was born and his wife must have been almost 50." Nappa looked at the Prince of all Sayians and saw that something registered in his mind.
"Nappa, didn't Dr Briefs have a son that also worked on Vegetasei?" Vegeta asked.
A/N:Yeah I know I'm evil! hahaha Review and tell me what you think should happen next.
