Bulma was ready for her big date with Vegeta, she was wearing a red dress she and Chi had brought in preparation for this event and high stilettos, she was incredibly worried about how this wold go, she believed things would be fine but… she hardly had a wealth of experience in what she had agreed to so quickly the other day. She didn't regret it or anything, it just felt… rushed. She knew this is where things were bound to end up but she still couldn't help the thought.

She carefully applied some light makeup- a nominal amount of foundation, a little blush, no lipstick, and finally some mascara- nothing to whorish at Chi would put it, of course Chi used to wear a bikini battle but as a child but as soon as she hit puberty she switched to kimonos and other long dresses that hid all her features- which was a shame as Bulma knew her to have nice curves under those dresses that even the clueless Goku was driven crazy by- an accomplishment almost nothing could actually do.

She heard the door and promptly made her way to it already knowing who would be on the other side. She opened the door with a huge smile on her face ready to greet Vegeta only for it to turn into an angry scowl when she saw who it really was.

Vegeta stood looking into his mirror with a scowl, he knew he shouldn't have taken her advice 'this suit almost makes you look nice' she had told him, he sighed. He most certainly did not look nice and he could hardly been able to move in it. He had tried to convince her that if there was need to protect Bulma the suit would be a hindrance but she had waved of the idea like it was crazy, after all what would someone want with Bulma.

He got in his car and started driving to her house, all he could think about the whole way there was how rushed this had felt, like a badly written story. He barley even put any effort into getting her to accept the whole 'I'm an alien' thing, she just accepted him for who he was.

As he turned the last corner he was hit by a wave of apprehension, what if he did something stupid? What if he saw someone he knew and started acting all closed off? What if…

He never reached his last though as he was snapped out of his reverie by the smoke filling the air. 'Don't be her house, don't be her houses… damn it' he thought as he searched for the source only for his eyes to settle on the very large dome that was currently ablaze.

Without thinking he jumped out of his car and ran inside, he barley acknowledged the potential threat as he searched for the 3 most annoying beans he had ever met, including the one he lo… liked a lot.

As he went through the now-removed door he started looking in all directions for something that could be of use. After a while he managed to rein in his emotions though, he calmed down and attempted to sieve through the Ki signatures for the 3 he actually meant to protect. He struggled due to the distraction of the now very apparent heat whipping against his flesh and clouding his senses.

Finally he sensed them; all three seemed to be huddled in one room… on the top floor.

'Perfect, just perfect, Bulma and her genius dad and her… blond mom all decide to huddle as high up as possible and don't think to make any move to escape. Maybe they're not as smart as they tell everyone they are' he though angrily as he raced up the stairs.

Fortunately the building was well thought out and he was able to follow the stair to the top floor all in one go- at a speed that most humans couldn't even follow with their eyes. He then raced down the hall way till he reached the furthest away door, 'another brilliant decision' he though sarcastically as he tried to open it only to find it locked forcing him to break it down.

He burst in and was filled with anger at the sight of Bulma and her parents tied to chairs in the centre of the room completely helpless. "What the hell's going on?" he yelled at them more than asked them as he shot a Ki beam through there restraints.

"Now Vegeta, there's no need for rude language" misses Briefs chided wagging her finger in the face of the shocked Saiyan.

'Their home burns down and all they can think about is my rude language' he though incredulously.

"Mom SHUTUP, this isn't the time to act crazy" Bulma screamed as annoyed as Vegeta was at her mother's stupidity.

"Now Bulma there no reason to panic, this sort of thing is to be expected in our line of work" Dr Briefs comforted whiles rubbing where the rope had been on his hands. "Now does anyone no what that smell is?" he asked smelling the horrid smoky smell being emitted from the lower floors fire that had by now spread up almost every level.

"That you house burning down" Vegeta deadpanned.

"What? Oh kami no" Dr Briefs started panicking looking around frantically. "Where is scratch?" he screamed completely oblivious to the cat's presence on his shoulder as always. Thankfully Vegeta had stopped listening ages ago preventing him yelling at the man's idiocy.

He quickly blew a hole through the wall and grabbed the entirety of the Briefs family before jumping out of it and attempting to fly them down the several stories required to avoid disaster, he knew he couldn't try to take them back down stars as the fire was even worse now and would most likely make the building fall down before they could even get to the next floor… making this the only option.

Vegeta just hoped that is worked- since he hadn't ever flown before and only knew the basic concept from training with Bardock.

A/N

Review, lemon is coming soon as I said but I felt this was rushed like very character was saying so I slowed it down a little this time around as every attempt to write the b/v date/lemon seemed like one of them was really ooc which I hated massively so instead I've thought of a way to slow it down a little… sorry if you were excited. But you know that you'd hate "Ready for our date" – awkward date- sex time, In the long run so I made a decision.
