Date at the seaside
Ice cream is nice
Vegeta and Bulma made their way back from the ice cream parlour hand in hand, both had huge gigantic ice creams with Vegeta's towering three times as high as his mates.
The sun was beating down upon the little seaside resort, and although the sea was giving off a breeze it was still not enough to chill out many of the hot burnt bodies of the tourists.
Bulma giggled as a lump of her strawberry ice cream fell to the floor and instantly began to turn to pink goo. Quickly licking around the cone, she caught her lover staring awkwardly at her and blushing crimson.
His ice cream looked half untouched, she smirked as she realised that what she was doing with the ice cream seemed to be attracting his attention.
"Would you stop it woman!"
Bulma put on her most innocent look then pouted at the handsome prince. "What…"
"YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT!"
"Nope I don't…"
"Your doing obscene things with that ice cream cone."
Bulma grinned, then she licked the outside of the cone again and then all around the pink strawberry ice cream.
"WOMAN!"
"My name is BULMA," she licked the ice cream again, but then was more daring and tried to fit as much in her mouth as she could.
This attracted the unwanted attention of a group of young teenagers who wolf whistled from the other side of the road near the café. They stopped the moment Vegeta turned and glared coldly at them, no longer was he holding hands with his female he now had a bright blue ki formed in his hand the other holding his ice cream.
Bulma turned redder than some of the burnt tourists who were lying on sunbeds along the harbour sunning themselves; they seemed to have gotten lost from the beach.
Quickly pulling her mate away she herded him over to a small wooden bench overlooking the bright sparkling ocean. Vegeta growled and evaporated the ball of ki as she glared at him, "Vegeta! Behave yourself."
The teenagers were calling obscene things out from over the road causing Bulma to blush again, she was half expecting the paparazzi to be hiding behind a lamp post or in a trashcan snapping photos of her flirting with her mate with the use of an ice cream cone.
Vegeta refrained himself from blowing the hooded kids into the next dimension, it would have been most amusing and he had been very close. But somehow he didn't feel the woman would condone to him assassinating some kids so publicly, - as fun and satisfying, as it would have been.
"Idiots." Vegeta whispered under his breath, as Bulma quickly got up and led the prince through a little narrow paved street, leading to the other side of the harbour away from the hormonal group of boys.
As they emerged through the quaint yet claustrophobic side street, Bulma released a sigh of relief as Vegeta continued to consume his ice cream cone without saying another word.
For a second she thought he was going to annihilate half the seaside resort, at least this part of the harbour was much quieter with the hustle and bustle of the tourists and crowded walkways being left behind by the gentle rhythm of the ocean and the boats bobbing on the shallow water below.
It was quaint and romantic, the smell of seaweed as nasty as it was, drifted along the breeze causing her to feel fresher and clear the air in her lungs.
Wishing she had taken a day from Capsule Corp much sooner, she replaced her hand in with Vegeta's and continued to lick her ice cream more appropriately.
After a long pause of silence, Vegeta was the first to speak up as he watched a lone sea bird dive under the surface of the crystal water. "Was that bimbo with Krillin a relative of yours Onna?"
Bulma turned red suddenly and the prince felt her hand tighten in his grip. "WHAT!"
Biting his lip hard, he suddenly wished he had chosen a different subject to talk about like food, or Namek, or maybe how annoying Bunny Briefs was.
Bulma looked less than happy with his chosen subject.
"Forget-"
Bulma butted in as she almost dropped her pink ice cream cone, she was no longer holding hands with her prince. "I am NOT related to her! Whatever gave you such a boneless idea!!!"
That had answered his question, he wished he didn't associate people with blue hair looking like Bulma; in truth they were the only two people with blue hair he had met on Earth,
Simply the prince had put two and two together and gotten twelve.
"You look better than her anyway." Vegeta assured as he tried to take her hand back.
He loved the soft texture, and he longed to be close to his woman again; all those years working for Freeza he had missed out on these annoying feelings.
He would never show this around anybody else, but Bulma was his, and he wanted to spend the time he had being close to her and training to protect what is his.
"I LOOK NOTHING LIKE THAT KID!"
Vegeta rolled his eyes, as she sulkily turned away facing the opposite direction to him.
Bulma Briefs could really be a spoilt little child sometimes.
Smirking he popped his ice cream into his mouth, so both his hands could be free for his next move.
The strange freezing sugary stuff was burning cold in his mouth, and rushing up to his head but he didn't care.
Using both his spare arms, he quickly snaked them around Bulma's waist and pulled her as close to him as possible until her back was up against his groin, and her head on his chest.
Bulma widened her eyes, just as Vegeta pulled a protective arm around her even further, his chin resting lightly on the top of her head.
"Vegeta…" she mumbled, closing her eyes contently; whenever he held her in his arms this way she felt so strong and protected, she felt as though nothing could hurt her. This was how the prince first began to show his real feelings towards Bulma after coming to Earth, it began with a hug, which she had taught him and then from there it came to the present day where they couldn't take their hands off one another.
"Your galaxies better than any other woman." Vegeta whispered in her ear, as she snuggled further into his chest.
Neither of them noticed the small crowd of Japanese tourists who had crowded behind and who were snapping photos of the embraced couple; the great Miss Bulma Briefs and her mystery man.
One Japanese man clapped his hands happily at catching a glimpse of his role model, this was like a dream come true he had visited Capsule Corporation with his work many, many times, but never had he had the luck of meeting the lady behind it all.
"Bulmea, Bulmea!" Shouted one Japanese nerd wearing bright Hawaiian shorts and a Japanese logo t-shirt.
Bulma snapped from her embrace in her lover's arms, and angrily turned to the mini crowd of oriental people. They were really ruining the moment!
"CAN I HELP!?" She shouted angrily folding her arms across her chest, and stomping angrily away from Vegeta to the tourists.
One thing that Bulma could not stand was her privacy being infringed, the press had learnt the hard way about getting on the wrong side of Bulma Briefs, and it seemed the tourists would soon also.
"Would you sign?" One guy asked as he pulled a scrawl of paper out, with a pen and tried to hand it to the furious Bulma.
The Saiyan princess looked down to her ice cream, which was fast, melting, and growled loudly; Vegeta just resumed to smirk waiting for his mate to scream murder at the group of strange little men.
As much as he had been enjoying the hug, this was probably going to be much more interesting, he loved it when his mate fought. It reminded him of a true female Saiyan.
Coldly glaring up to the short guy holding out the notepad, she picked it up, balanced her ice cream and scribbled something furiously.
After signing the autograph very badly, she turned her attention to the other Japanese men, who were still snapping photographs of their idol on their digital cameras.
Taking in a deep breath, Bulma summoned all her strength to keep calm; she was on her first date with the Saiyan prince and so far… he had been bitten in the most valuable place poor baby… Krillin had caught them out - in tow with the annoying ditzy girl, they had both almost been arrested for kissing, and then she fully ashamed herself with the ice cream.
And to top it off some Japanese nerds were now stalking her…
"WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE ME ALLLLONEEEEEEE!" Bulma yelled, Vegeta held his sensitive ears and smirked as the Japanese people looked on dumbfounded.
It seemed to have done the job, grumbling something in Japanese several of them walked over the road and others went to the nearby shoe shop.
Bulma Briefs did not look very happy…
"Stupid idiots, cant even leave me alone when I'm not at work," she mumbled as she licked her ice cream to try and drive away some of the built up anger inside her.
Vegeta gave a short laugh, before he dared return to his mates side; he had finished his ice cream whilst observing her screaming match with the foreign people; the prince was sure they hadn't understood a word she said, they just picked up on the angry tone of her voice.
Bulma let out a tired sigh as she slumped onto the unoccupied wooden bench, something was really draining her energy and making her extra fiery; still with half an ice cream her stomach was beginning to feel rather woozy again.
"You want the rest?" Bulma asked as she held up the lopsided melting ice cream to her Saiyan; turning his nose up he declined the ice cream and sat down next to Bulma.
"I've had enough ice cream for now, besides yours has that nasty brown flavour."
Bulma smiled softly, "What? Chocolate!"
Nodding the Saiyan prince wrapped an arm elegantly around her waist and held her closer to him.
Her ice cream was both chocolate and strawberry, she had the strangest urge to have gherkins on the top but she refrained herself thinking it was just too weird.
"I only like chocolate when its smothered on-"
Bulma shoved him hard in the side with her elbow, and he grunted at the sting of pain.
"Kids are about."
"SO" Vegeta grumbled, pulling his arms from her waist and rubbing his right hand side, which already felt bruised.
Saiyan or not Bulma could be mighty strong when she wanted to.
"Are you feeling sore still?" Bulma asked suddenly as she forced herself to lick the fast meting ice cream, more of it was splattering onto the pavement than what she was eating.
Vegeta stared at the woman for a moment, his mind going over exactly what she had just said. "No, a Saiyan heals himself quickly." Pausing he leaned his head on her neck. "Why are you ready for another round my queen?"
Bulma smiled wolfishly, she didn't answer.
"We could be home in seconds, you do know that."
The sound of fluttering feathers disrupted the couple, and the largest whitest seagull Bulma had ever seen touched down before the couple.
Vegeta eyed its intentions up suspiciously, as Bulma giggled happily.
She had always enjoyed feeding the birds since she had been a little kid.
This particular seagull was very tame; it had no fear of the passing people or Bulma and Vegeta sitting a few inches before it. Instead it flapped its wings and clicked its beak expectantly.
"OOOH look Geta!"
"That is not my name woman."
"Isn't he cute!"
Vegeta scoffed, the bird to him looked like dinner. "And how do you know it's a he? Its just a dumb bird."
"Well… I don't, he just looks like a he!"
As if to answer Bulma, the bird waddled even closer making gawking noises transfixed at the ice cream cone in her hand.
It flapped its wings, and released a horrid call, which echoed around the resort. Bulma proceeded to break the ends of her cone and throw it into the waiting open beak of the huge gull.
Vegeta groaned, as the bird proceeded to catch the food in its mouth.
"Vegeta! The bird eats like you…" Bulma said mischievously, her companion stared blankly at the fluffy white bird not looking the slightest bit amused.
The Saiyan prince was getting bored of watching Bulma feed the stupid animal, he wondered if he went up and prodded it if it had the guts to attack him.
The bird was now practically standing on his toes, and he was restraining himself from kicking the annoying feathered creature.
Bulma threw half of the cone, followed by a large dab of strawberry ice cream, which the hungry bird soon gobbled up.
Vegeta could not hold in a smile as she giggled so enthusiastically, wrapping his arms back around her he allowed for Bulma to cuddle up to him, as she proceeded to throw the remnants of the cone to the greedy seabird.
Neither noticed the short little man dressed in the business suit creep up behind them. Not even Vegeta sensed his low ki level, until the man made his presence known by coughing obviously loud.
The man had risen from the bench next to them, and had left his girlfriend sitting upon the bench by herself.
"You do realise that it's against the law to feed the birds here."
Vegeta turned around to face the man, who was blocking out his sunlight, "HEY!" The man repeated when Bulma proceeded to throw the remains of her cone to the seagull.
She had not even noticed that he was behind her, until he shouted loudly causing Vegeta to stand up from the bench.
The man seemed unphased with the muscular Saiyan prince glaring coldly at him looking ready for a fight. The seagull was pecking around where Vegeta had been sitting, and was chirping happily away after its delicious ice cream treat.
"Is there a problem?" Bulma asked when she turned around and saw Vegeta pushing his face up to the snotty looking business guy; he looked like somebody who had just graduated from law school or somewhere, and was clearly trying to look like he owned the place.
The man turned away from the fearsome looking Vegeta, and faced Bulma. "CLEARLY YOU CANNOT READ!" he spat, before Vegeta prepared to grab him by the throat and cut off his breathing. Nobody spoke to his mate that way, not unless they wished to get the death penalty.
Bulma looked aghast, this strange kid was shouting his mouth off at her and for what reason? Unless of course Vegeta had done something to him. That might explain things, yet he had been by her side the whole day.
She pulled a confused look, as the guy in the business suit continued his rant; usually Bulma was prepared with a quick comeback and was fiery with her responses yet today for some reason she had none.
Of course Vegeta would do all the work… that was no problem…
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?"
"My name is Stanley Mackintosh, I work for the council and I am a leading operator and health and safety executive for this seaside resort." The guy said proudly, Vegeta of course could not care if this was the King of the Afterworld, he had dared insult Bulma, and he had dared raise his voice to the prince of all Saiyan's.
"WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Bulma shouted, as she got up from her bench, causing the seagull to flutter off out to sea in a panic.
Stanley turned and pushed his face up against Bulma's in an intimidating manner, she could not help but notice the acne and greasy hair with the addition of garlic tainted breath. She gagged at the sight of the council worker.
It was a big mistake on Stanley's part.
Vegeta grabbed him violently by the throat and threw him with some force through the air and into a metal bin next to the bench they had been sitting.
Stanley made contact with the bin with a rewarding clang, and then a gasp from his girlfriend.
Vegeta had not finished the challenge, and after a few seconds he was back for more. Bulma was just looking on as her mate roughly picked up Stanley by his greasy hair and chucked him back to the point where they had been standing originally by her feet.
The guy was now bleeding heavily from a gash on his head, and was trying to plead with the Saiyan to leave him alone. One kick to the stomach soon stopped the pleading, as Stanley began to cry out in pain.
"APPOLOGISE TO MY FEMALE NOW!"
Stanley coughed, and struggled up onto his knees, as he tried to catch his breath back after Vegeta's kick to the abdomen. This was the first ever fight the executive had been in, and he didn't like it.
Bravely pointing to a metal sign on the harbour wall, he gasped as the prince kicked him once again causing blood to spew out of his mouth.
What Stanley had been trying to point out was the sign with a picture of a seagull being fed in a red circle with a cross. Obviously meaning that the sea birds should not be fed.
"APPOLOGISE!" Vegeta shouted as he prepared to kick the weakling human once again.
Bulma did nothing to stop the raving prince, as she looked on half hoping that Vegeta would end it soon before many people decided to onlook, she wasn't even going to try and break it up; her stomach was putting a stop to that, she felt almost sea sick.
"I'm sorry…" Stanley muttered pathetically as Vegeta shoved him back down to the ground roughly and forced his head down onto the pavement with his boot.
"That was not worthwhile fool, I want an acceptable apology." Vegeta said coldly as he rubbed his boot around in a circle causing the man to splutter onto the pavement and crack his teeth on the hard concrete.
"My mate can do what she likes, when she likes. No sign or weakling baka is going to stop her." Vegeta growled as he proceeded to bring his foot up, and slam it back down onto his abdomen.
The girlfriend was now scorning as she watched her date get his head kicked in by the older muscular guy; all that talk he had spun her about being a martial arts expert was obviously a lie to impress her. He was nothing but a boring council employee trying to force people to abide to stupid rules made up overnight.
Bulma closed her eyes, as she prepared for Vegeta to send him to the next dimension, to be fair the guy had been really rude to her and she wasn't feeling that great she just wanted to go home and puke her brains out after the ice cream.
Using both his hands he forced the man back up onto his knees, and then grabbed his neck once again squeezing so tight that Stanley began to turn a blue shade.
"Are you going to give her an acceptable apology, or am I just going to have to kill you?"
The man coughed up a great deal of blood, causing Vegeta to quickly remove his killer grip from his neck not wanting to get blood vomit on his hands.
"Please…. No more."
"WELL PEASANT I'M WAITING."
"SORRY!!! SO… SSS…SORRY!"
Vegeta looked towards Bulma, who had opened her eyes and nodded her head, so he slowly edged behind and walked him up to the stone harbour wall, where the metal seagull sign had been bolted on and funny enough had been vandalised.
It was as though the prince was about to force the guy to walk the plank on a boat, Bulma bit her lip in anticipation and found she was actually looking forward to what the former space pirate was about to do next.
"So you understand fool. If my mate wishes to feed those feathered vermin then she shall."
The man nodded quickly, before his girlfriend stood up and left deciding that she'd had enough of watching such a weakling lose.
"No sign, or human will stop her, understand?"
The man nodded again, before Vegeta released his grip on his back.
"Heed this as a warning, and in future keep your big nose out of other peoples affairs." With that Vegeta gave a hard shove to Stanley and sent him hurtling headfirst over the wall and into the harbour with a loud rewarding splash.
Bulma bit her lip, and restrained a smile as Vegeta sat back down on the bench beside her without saying a word.
His black hair was swishing in the breeze generated from the sea, giving him an even sexier look than usual.
"He wont be as lucky next time." Vegeta said as he turned and faced Bulma, she smiled cutely and then clasped his face in her hands.
"Somehow Vegeta… I don't think there will be a next time." With that she leaned upwards and placed a soft long kiss upon his awaiting lips. She pulled away moments later and Vegeta chuckled, then he smiled at her.
"I love bashing nerds." He said firmly then pulled her in for another passionate kiss.
A loud splashing noise, and a familiar pleading disturbed the couple as Bulma smirked as did Vegeta.
""Pleaseee, I can't swim!!!"
Bulma playfully pushed Vegeta off the bench, "Go on, you better go check on him."
Vegeta groaned, as he heard the geeky council worker half drowning below the stonewall. When was the Sayaman when you needed him?
