Unfaithful

I sighed and leaned back. It was a day of rest, or so it was supposed to be. Everything was going according to the way Vegeta planned.

All he made me do was give him information. Until this point, at least. That's it, I promise.

Where are The Stupid one and that moron going?

Why, they're going out to dinner. She should be back later on tonight.

Does the fool intend on staying over?

Possibly. He packed a bag, but as far as I know Bulma hasn't officially invited him to stay yet.

See, it was nothing that yelled out loud, "I'm going to ruin their wedding."

It was just stuff. If Yamucha wanted to stay over, they would be having sex. If they had sex, then Bulma wouldn't be working on his machines. If Bulma stayed out too late with Yamucha she would be too tired to work on his training bots.

I thought it just all went back to his desire to destroy my best friend. My other best friend.

Now, this is pretty awkward, seeing as even in that way I'm sort of off-handedly helping Vegeta destroy my best friend. But then again so was Bulma. And we needed him strong so he could kill the androids. After all it was merely information regarding where they were and when she'd be back and if he was coming back with her.

So leave me alone, conscience.

Anyway, it was supposed to be a day of rest. I was watching Bulma and Yamucha watch TV (or grope each other) and it was then that Bulma smiled and asked, "So are you excited?"

"Not really." He grinned, "Very."

"What?"

"Where have you been?" Yamucha poked me in the head, which I found to be offensive by the way, "The wedding?"

"Where was I when you did all that planning?" I pointed to Bulma, "And where was I when you did two and a half months of training?" I looked to Yamucha.

"I don't know. Talking to my buddy Veggie, maybe?"

I turned red for a second, thinking they'd really seen me talk to him, "Bulma, don't even talk like that. He's scary. He may just kill us if you keep calling him that." Their amused looks told me it was a false alarm.

"Well, I'm going to take her away from all that after we're married."

"What?" Bulma blinked, looking at Yamucha.

"Oh, well we hadn't really talked about this yet, but maybe after we get married we can move somewhere together."

"You can move in here with me."

"Bulma, I don't want to live here with you and your parents, and Vegeta."

"Why not?" She frowned, "My parents have always been very nice to you."

"That's true, but you'll be a married woman. Time to settle down, you know. Maybe even think about having kids."

"Yamucha, I'm the heiress to Capsule Corporations." Bulma sighed, "I have to stay here with my lab. I have a job."

"I'm supposed to be the provider, though..." Yamucha trailed off. "Couldn't you just... try to give it up for a little while?"

She stared at him, "Yamucha... You're talking about me being a housewife? I'm a genius. I have so much more potential. Don't ask me to waste it."

"Okay, okay," He looked disappointed, but he didn't want to fight with her, not the day before the magic happens, "But what about living here? Please, just try and compromise with me. I just... I don't. I don't want to live here, Bulma. Not with your parents and especially not with Vegeta."

"I can understand you're afraid of Vegeta, but what's wrong with my parents?"

He turned red, "I am not afraid of Vegeta, and they're your parents."

"So? Oh, I get it, you're afraid they're going to interrupt us while we have sex. You know they won't. They don't now, so why would they then?"

"But Bulma!" Yamcha whined, turning red.

"And it's so... you to think of yourself and your sex life."

"Look, Bulma, I love you and I'm not going to back out of this marriage... But please try and consider it."

"How inappropriate. Just go, Yamucha." Bulma crossed her arms over her chest.

He sighed and stood, "So you're not going to tell me you love me back?"

"Just go!"

So he went his way, and I was headed out but Vegeta stopped me. "What is it, Vegeta?"

"Why was The Loud One yelling now?" He looked aggravated.

"She and Yamucha got into a fight over something stupid." I closed my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest, "I guess I'll have to bring him here tomorrow so they can make up."

"The mating ceremony is tomorrow."

I blinked, "You're right. I guess I'll have to bring him over later on tonight. About what time does she finish updating your machines, Vegeta?"

"After midnight. But tonight she won't be in her laboratory."

I wish I'd gotten what he meant. But I was half too scared and half trying to figure out how to get them to stop being children. "Okay then. Tonight after midnight. But where do I take him?"

"I'm sure she'll be outside of my Gravity Chamber. There are some things she has to set correctly."

I wish I understood. But it went over my head. So I waited for the moon to come out full and large in the pitch black night, and I brought Yamucha to the designated area.

I didn't really want them to get married, and they didn't. And maybe I did get what he was saying and I just ignored it, because after it all happened, I felt guilty and I knew why.

Because I didn't want them to get married, and doing what Vegeta told me to do and hinted at... I can try and make myself innocent, but I know the disaster that occurred that night was as much my fault as anyone else's.
