Vegeta slammed his suitcase onto the top bunk on the left side, stating his place. "Bulma sleeps on the bottom bunk here, okay?" He smiled at her and placed her bags gently on the bottom bunk.

She blushed slightly and smiled at him. "Thank you, Vegeta…"

18 glared at her as she set her things on the bottom middle bunk. Krillen put his on the top middle bunk, Goku put his things on the right top bunk, and Chi-Chi put her things on the bottom right bunk.

"Oh, my dear…" Vegeta said walking over and resting his hand on Bulma's cheek. "The pleasure is all mine…" He smiled at her, his face only inches away.

Bulma was short of breath as he ran his fingers down her jaw and off her chin, never breaking eye contact. She swallowed hard and walked out the door after him. "Vegeta!" She screamed, storming toward him.

He turned on his heel, smiling a very cocky, arrogant smile. "Yes, sweet Bulma?"

"What was that all about?"

His face softened and he held her hands. "Bulma, I know we aren't together but… I'm not going to deny it. I felt something when I looked at you. I really did. I'm sorry if you don't think of me in that way, but I'm sure you do…"

Bulma couldn't believe what she was hearing. Vegeta Ouji was stating that he loved someone like her. "You aren't serious." She turned away from him.

He was shocked. That was a completely different reaction than he had ever gotten before. Slowly he placed his hands on her hips. "But Bulma… I am serious." He rested his head on her shoulder.

"No." She pushed his hands off of her and walked away, back to the cabin. Vegeta stood there, mouth agape, heartbroken, and confused.

"Bulma!" He called out. "Bulma wait!"

She turned around and stared at him. "What do you want?"

"Bulma, why are you mad at me? What did I do wrong?"

"That's what I want you to tell me. Why is 18 so worried about me talking to you?"

He looked to the ground. "Bulma…" Eyes closed, looking defeated, Vegeta sighed. "Bulma, I went out with 18 not too long ago. I broke her heart and I really shouldn't have. I regret it, I really do. But… Bulma… I would never hurt you, I can promise you."

"I get the impression from her that there were other girls?"

Another defeated sigh. "Yes, but Bulma, you're different."

"No, Vegeta! I'm no different! My heart gets broken just like theirs does, and dammit, when my friend is this worried about me seeing you then I'm not so sure I want to take that risk…"

He grabbed her hands and pulled her toward him. "Bulma, yes, I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but please… you have to believe me when I say that I would never hurt you… please… just give me a chance…"

She looked deep into his onyx eyes and saw that his words were sincere. A wave of happiness came crashing over her, she smiled and flung her arms around him, and kissed his cheek.

"So… I get a chance?"

"Of course."

He smiled and picked her up off the ground, nuzzling her neck. For once in his life, Vegeta truly thought that someone was the one for him, no doubts.
