Bulma ran out of the crowd to the back of the stage. "Vegeta?" She questioned the air around her. "Vegeta? You back here?" She walked farther back and saw him sitting against the wall, one hand resting on his forehead. "Hey, you alright?"

He shook his head and his lips quivered a bit. "No." His voice shook as well. He inhaled deeply and moved his hand down over his eyes.

Bulma sat in front of him and pulled him into her. She hugged him tight and kisses his forehead. "What is it?"

"It's memories. I hate them." He whispered, resting his head on her shoulder.

"You miss her, don't you?"

"Uh-huh." He sobbed into her chest. "But hell, she wants someone else, obviously…"

"Do you want her back?"

"Sometimes."

"What about right now?"

He paused and nodded a bit. "Yeah."

"Vegeta… if you want her back… you can go back with her."

"Bulma…"

"No, I mean it."

He looked her in the eyes and tried to smile. "No you don't…"

Bulma remained a still face. "But I do, Vegeta." She hugged him. "I love you, but I want you to be happy. Be with her if she makes you happy."

Vegeta stood and walked away from her. "Thanks…I love you too, Bulma." He walked out the front door of the lodge and stormed toward the cabin.

"Vegeta! Vegeta, wait!" He heard a familiar voice call.

"What, Melanie?!"

"Hold on!" She yelled. He stopped and waited for her. "Hey… umm… listen, I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for… being such a bitch. I mean… I was just a jealous ex I guess. I mean, who wouldn't be jealous over someone, like you? You're so handsome and smart and… perfect. Listen, you don't need to take up this offer, but I heard that you and Bulma broke up. I know, word moves fast but Goku saw it happen and he was telling all of your friends and I didn't mean to listen in, Vegeta, I swear but I just heard and--"

He wrapped his arms tightly around her and kissed her passionately. His hands moved along her back as she ran her fingers through his hair. His tongue slithered into her mouth and teased hers, moved along her teeth. When the kiss broke Vegeta was in tears again and stormed away.

"Vegeta! Come back here! Vegeta!" Melanie followed him toward the lake. "Vegeta! What the hell was that for?" She said, sitting down next to him.

He was leaning over the lake, looking at his reflection and how it distorted when a tear would fall and create ripples in the water. "Melanie…"

"Yes?"

"I don't know what to do."

"About what?" She leaned against his shoulder.

"About you and Bulma. I love you both but…"

"You love me?"

Something inside of him hit hard against his chest and he inhaled deeply again. He forced back his tears and tried to think of an answer. "No."

"What?"

"I'm sorry, but now that I think about it, I couldn't love you if I wanted to. You've hurt me so terribly in the past, I don't think I could risk myself like that again."

"Well. If you don't love me… I could still give you a little… pick me up…" She winked at him and started walking toward her cabin. He stood and followed instinctively. When they arrived in the cabin she pinned him to her bed and began kissing his neck, nipping at his tanned flesh. He moaned and grabbed her ass tightly.

"What do you mean by 'pick me up'?"

"I don't know just yet." She nibbled on his ear as her hand traveled down to his already hardening cock. He moaned again and arched his back. "Remember all those nights up in my room Vegeta?"

"Uh-huh."

"What about the times on the roof?"

He moaned and kissed her roughly. Just then, the cabin door swung open and they both heard a gasp.

"VEGETA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Goku yelled.

"Shit!" Vegeta said, rolling out from under her.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Goku stormed out of the cabin, Vegeta running close behind him.

"Goku! Stop! Come on…" He tackled him to the ground. "Where are you running off to so fast? Why were you coming to find me? How did you know where I was?"

"I was running so I could hurry up and tell Bulma to stop crying over someone who's such a bastard, and I knew where you were because I watched you go in, and I came to find you because Bulma is back at our cabin, locked in the bathroom, threatening suicide because of you!"

Vegeta's eyes widened. "What?" He ran toward the cabin and banged his fists on the bathroom door. "Bulma!"

"Vegeta?" A soft voice from inside came.

"Yes, Bulma it's me. Please let me in there…"

"Why? Aren't you going out with Melanie?"

"No! No I'm not… I love you, Bulma. Please… she hurt me so bad… there's no way I could love her."

Goku shoved him against the wall. "Then why don't you tell her why you were in her cabin nearly fucking her not five minutes ago!"

Vegeta gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Damn you! What I do is none of your business! And for another thing, I wasn't going to fuck her!" He swung his arm and hit Goku square in the jaw. But Goku struck back with a straight shot to Vegeta's kidneys. Doubled over in pain, but still fighting, Vegeta ran and tackled Goku to the floor. He repeatedly punched him in the face and chest until there was blood all over the floorboards.

If he keeps going at me like this… I'm done for. Goku thought. He could kill me… Goku didn't want to, but he pulled out his knife and stabbed randomly above him, hoping to hit Vegeta. He had to get him off of him somehow. The weight of Vegeta's body slowly fell off of Goku and he heard Chi-Chi scream.

A door opened. Another scream was heard. Goku sat up and focused his eyes. They widened as they saw what damage he had done. Vegeta was lying on the ground with a knife jutting out of his lower stomach. His best friend was lying on the floor, barely breathing, and the nearest hospital was 20 miles away. But they couldn't take him to the hospital or Goku could go to jail.

"GOKU! What were you thinking!?" Bulma screamed. She kneeled down next to Vegeta and wrapped her arms around him. "Chi-Chi! Call 9-1-1!"

"But… but Bulma… what if they send Goku to prison?"

"I don't know what to do about that right now but please, we need to get him to a hospital."

"Bulma…"

"Vegeta? Hunny, are you okay?"

He shook his head. "No. On the contrary, I'm doing rather terrible. I can't breathe, I can't see clearly ten inches from my face, I have blood spewing from my stomach, and my best friend just stabbed me. No, I'm far from okay."

"Oh, Vegeta… you'll be alright though, I promise." She kissed his forehead and he placed his bloody hands on her cheeks.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"I know." Vegeta shut his eyes and sighed.

"No! Vegeta, no! Stay with me, baby… please…"

He gave no response. Piccolo and a few other teachers ran in, picked him up and carried him out to the ambulance.

Bulma sat next to the wall, grabbed Vegeta's jacket from the hook above her and cuddled it close.

Please be okay.
