2 WEEKS LATER

"Ugh." Bulma had exhaled and groaned at the same time. At this point she was drained of her energy from being in the house all day. She hated when her father shut the lab down for the day. When he did this it was like a holiday. Everybody in the lab needed a little R & R according to her father. And she recognized why he wanted them to have a day off but she wasn't one of the working class. Her whole life has always been a little R&R. Working in the lab was like the best thing she could do and her father called for a lab shut down. Now she was lying on the couch dying from boredom. She even caught up with her favorite soap operas and she still wasn't pleased with her day off. It seemed like time was going to slow for her. She knew if she was in the lab right now, time would fly by easily. But it was like time stood still. She groaned once more wishing her father would walk in and tell her the lab is open. But a girl could only wish.

She couldn't figure out what to do anymore. She was going to lose her mind if she sat there any longer. "Ugh! I can't do nothing in this house." She spoke loudly while thinking out loud. She was so caught in her feelings she didn't even realize the Prince walked in from one of his training sessions.

Walking in on Bulma talking to herself was routine to Vegeta now. Numerous times he would walk in on her thinking out loud and when he did he would pick at her for it. These days he found pleasure in infuriating her even more then she already was. It practically seemed like it was in his blood to annoy her. He enjoyed it way more then he should have and he knew that. He just didn't care. As long as it was her, he wasn't bothered at all.

"Ugh! There is nothing to do, there is nothing on T.V. There is nothing, just absolutely nothing!" he heard her say from the living room. He was in the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water to replenish his body from his long hours of training. He could still hear her chatting as he made his way to the living room where she was lying down.

"If you turned on the television you wouldn't have a problem." He spoke while laughing at his own reply to her remark on nothing being on T.V.

Bulma could only eye Vegeta. She was not in the mood for his sarcasm. She glared so hard at him she thought she could burn a hole in his face any second. "For your information, I'm already caught up with my shows. That's why I said there is nothing on T.V. Smart ass." She responded with both humor and frustration. She couldn't help but roll her eyes as well.

"Well find something else and quit bickering woman." He spoke back.

"Clearly I'm not interested." She responded instantly while rolling her eyes once more.

"Well get interested and shut up already." He said just as fast.

As much as she quarreled with Vegeta, today wasn't the day for her to argue with the Prince. Right now she just wanted to figure out what was she going to do with the reaming hours of the day. Today was not her day at all. "Just forget it. She said quietly while getting more comfortable on the couch. She was going to ignore Vegeta and his nonsense today.

"You forgot to turn the television on woman." He mocked.

"Go to hell."

"I'm already there." He smirked.

"That's it asshole, you asked for it." She said while getting up.

"Woman where do you think you are going. And what the hell does that mean?" He asked quickly.

"Oh you'll figure it out!" She spoke proudly. She didn't have to go far for what she wanted. Whenever she needed her weapon all she had to do was go in the places he was the most. She was going to show him he couldn't mess with her, especially on a day she had off involuntary. She grabbed the glove and turned it on.

Vegeta noticed what she was doing. He wasn't startled, but he was alert. He recognized the device she placed on her hand. He knew what it was and he was ready for her unbalanced strike. His combat skills outnumbered hers by a ton. But that didn't matter if she landed just one blow on him. It would be over in a second. His power force would be sapped to nothing and he would lay weak until his energy would come back.

"Woman it wouldn't be wise of you to attack me."

"You asked for this Vegeta. Take it like a man."

"I warned you." He said quietly. He grabbed her arms before she could even contemplate to lift them. He felt the spark he mostly feels when he grabbed her by the wrist. He washed away the feelings that were daring to cross his mind. Right now he was being confronted by his woman, and he needed to concentrate.

"Let go of me right now Vegeta!" She managed to say while struggling to pull away from his hold.

"You clearly must be mad woman. There's not a chance I will let you go with this weapon in your hand."

"Vegeta, if you don't let me go I will ..."

"I'm not afraid of you woman." He said cutting her off with his notorious smirk. He then squeezed her hand with enough pressure so he wasn't hurting her, but she would forget about continuing her attack. She instantly gasped in pain. The pressure around her wrist was like nothing she had even encountered in one of her lab explosions. She knew Vegeta was holding back, but the pressure was too strong for her. She fell too her knees before falling completely down. She hated the feeling of defeat so she threw the pillow from the couch at him.

"Asshole."

"You just can't accept defeat. Give up."

"Fuck you." She said with frustration while throwing things from the table at Vegeta. He dodged every item she had thrown. This was normal to him now. He knew by now that if she was mad enough she would start throwing whatever she could get her hands on.

"You would have to throw a building at me to surprise me woman." He said slyly.

"Ugh." "You know what I don't need a building; I just need someone in particular." She whispered to herself. Vegeta stopped in his path. What did she mean someone in particular? He turned around to see her heading towards the door. His curiosity made him follow her like a lost puppy.

"Where are you going woman?" He said pulling at her arm.

"Like that's any of your concern, why do you care?" She said as she pulled away.

"Who is this someone you are going to see? That wouldn't happen to be Kakarot would it?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" She said with a devious smile.

"Who is it?" He responded quick and furious. He grabbed her once more.

"Like I would tell you. Now let me go." She pulled away fast and dropped a capsule on the floor. The capsule then poofed and transformed into a hovercraft and she hopped in. As she was taking off, she realized she wasn't taking flight. It was when she looked out the window to see the reason why she wasn't taking off.

"VEGETA!" she yelled loudly.

"We're not in bed woman there is no reason for you to call my name so loudly." He said with a smirk.

"Pig" she scoffed. "Let my hovercraft go so I can fly in peace. Unlike you I can't fly."

"Who are you going to see? I demand to know right now woman." He responded

"I'm going to see an old friend."

"You're not going to see that clown Kakarot!" He said with anger in his voice now.

She knew Vegeta had a hatred for Goku, but at this point it was silly to her. They were better as comrades then enemies. If it wasn't for their teamwork back on Namek, they wouldn't even be having this discussion now. But of course Vegeta would never see it that way, and if he ever did then it would a million years from now.

"Hey can you let go of my ride please? I said please." She spoke with frustration. It was just like Vegeta to get on her last nerve. She put back on her glove and waved her hand at him. "Let go or else..." she threatened.

"If you even dare use that thing on me again, I will break your hands." He threatened back.

"Try me." She spoke with confidence. She was testing him as he was testing her. "Do it!" She spoke more loudly daring him to make his move. She looked him square in the face to see his facial expression. Would he do it or not? She couldn't figure him out. It was then she realized he wasn't making a move, as if he was paralyzed. She realized he was staring into her eyes. This was her chance to make a great escape. She was ready to go. She was only held back because Vegeta thought she was going to see Goku. In all reality she just wanted to check up on Krillin & Master Roshi. She had hopped back in the hovercraft since Vegeta wasn't himself. Before she could close the shield, she was grabbed once more.

"Maybe he doesn't get it." Bulma thought. At this point she just wanted to fly away, but Vegeta wouldn't let her cause he thought she was flying out to see Goku. Vegeta didn't let her go this time. His grip on her was tighter than before. But she managed to slip away. "Ha! I got away asshole." She yelled at him. He only smiled. "I let you slip away woman." He said with his famous smirk which meant he did something or he was up to something.

"What did you do?" She spoke with caution. She could only scream. Somehow, he managed to steal the keys from her. She couldn't even imagine how he did, but he did it. "How?" she asked puzzled. He only grinned.

She was still trying to process how he stole the keys from her, when she heard the sound of honking. The honking caught both Bulma & Vegeta off guard. She was puzzled by the vehicle, but she was puzzled more by the plates on the vehicle which read "CEO." She couldn't put her finger on it but Bulma swore she knew the plates from someone and somewhere. She focused on the plates so much, she didn't even realize a person had come out of the vehicle. She was beginning to think her perception and reflexes were off. First Vegeta and now this stranger.

"Who are you?" Bulma spoke first breaking the silence.

"You have a date." Don't be late." The strange man spoke while handing her an envelope. Before she could ask questions the man was already heading back to his vehicle.

"Wait! Who is this from? Bulma yelled. The man ignored her as he got in his ride and drove away. She sighed and opened the envelope quickly. She wanted to know what was going on and the envelope was her only way of knowing. The letter was from Toshiro. Following the letter was another set of papers. Bulma could only drop the papers. If she didn't agree to go on a date with Toshiro, Capsule Corp. was getting shut down.

Vegeta used his Ki and burned the papers. "Over my dead body." "I should've sent him to Otherworld when I had the chance." Bulma watched as he flew off towards the hospital where Toshiro was receiving care.

This was trouble. Toshiro was in trouble.
