Bulma shivered as she hopped into the car. She should've known the weather was too good to last all day! Her teeth chattered as she ran her hands up and down her arms in an attempt to warm herself after having to run unprotected through the sudden rain shower.

"Stupid weather." She pulled the seatbelt across her shoulder and started on her way back home. "Maybe I could enjoy a nice warm shower when I get home," she muttered dreamily.

It was late February and the temperature hadn't been freezing cold, like it normally should have been. So, Bulma had taken the chance to get out in the warm weather and do some not-so-much-needed shopping done. Of course any excuse to get out of the house was good enough for.

She was determined to live life to the max in the next few years and not dwell on what might happen. No, she wasn't going to worry about the threat of those stupid androids coming to destroy her world. Nope, she was a free woman on all accounts. She'd broken up with Yamcha not too long ago, and she wasn't afraid to admit that it was a little disheartening that after almost a decade of being together their bond had finally dissolved.

She let out a sigh as her head hung lowly, her eyes keeping their focus on the traffic signal. She couldn't blame Yamcha for his straying eyes, since hers were just as bad and pointing in the direction of a certain 'off limits' alien houseguest. She blinked and the light turned green, so she brushed off her thoughts and finished her drive home.

Once at home, she headed toward the kitchen to boil some water. Nice warm tea would hopefully help the chill that had set in, since apparently on her drive home the temperature had dropped back down to freezing and rain had turned to sleet. She groaned, "There went my thoughts of an early spring."

As she passed through the living area, she glanced out the window and at the backyard where a lone figure was standing. His head tilted toward the sky, the drops of freezing rain pelting down on his body. Her brows furrowed and she immediately stomped over to the back door and yanked it open.

"What are you doing, you idiot?" she screeched, her head the only thing sticking out of the cracked door. She wasn't awarded with an answer or even acknowledgment that he heard her. "Fine, you know what, just stand out there in the freezing rain! I hope your stupid ass catches a cold!" She slammed the door and headed toward her original destination.

Outside, Vegeta smirked up at the grey colored sky. 'Stupid woman, I've been through worse conditions than this.' Then again, there was always the possibility of playing around with her now that her boyfriend was out of the way. A grunt issued from his throat at the thought. "Easy prey who'd never see it coming."
