I got no excuses. And I really can't express how sorry I am to leave this for so long.

Please just keep in mind that English is not my natural language so, I'm sorry about any mistakes.


The 5 years went by really fast. Vegeta was now 15 years old and in a couple of days he would be crowned as King. As the years passed he and Bulma became closer and people got used to see them together. Now with more knowledge Vegeta was able to make some decisions and even travel to meet with others leaders, of course that some members of the counsel would come with him for advise him if necessary.

Bulma loved to be around him, when she was on vacation in school and he need to travel he would take her with him. It was funny to go to some parties with him and see some girls of there, most of the same age as her, some a little older, dying to get his attention. Usually Vegeta just ignore them.

Now only a couple of days left for he be crowned as King, they were sitting in the back garden of the palace, Vegeta looking at some papers and she doing her homework.

"Vegeta, you're going to be crow King" she said as if she just had realized it now. After a few seconds he answered

"..So.."

"So.. we will be apart. I'm going to have to move out of here. You're not going to forget me right?"

"Don't be stupid, your voice is too annoying it kind of makes it hard to forget. It's traumatizing". He said with the intention of get her angry, but it didn't, he looks at her and saw her sad face.

She is serious. How can she possibly think that I'm going to forget about her?.

"Don't worry girl we will keep in touch". Her face light up like Christmas.

"Really? You promise? You're my best friend, I don't want to lose you".

"Don't be stupid Bulma". He blushed a little and tried to go back to what he was doing. By the time Bulma finished her homework Vegeta hadn't finished his work yet. So she started to read a romance book that she had just bought, she loved those kind of stories. There was always a forbidden love, adventure, and a happy end. When something made her curious:

"Vegeta… have you ever kissed a girl?"

"what? What kind of question is that?"

"I'm curious"

"Why would I wanted kiss a girl?"

"You know why… I never kissed a boy neither… I wonder how is like… there is some boys in my school really cute, I just wonder"

"You and your ideas... What do you mean 'cute'?" he asked felling a little jealous. What these boys have done to catch her attention?

"we should kiss" she said ignoring his question.

"WHY WOULD I DO THAT?" the truth was, he got himself thinking about kissing Bulma a couple of times, and after these years her body was starting to change, she was starting to get a woman's shape, and , for some reason that he quite didn't understand yet, it was doing something with his body. He wanted to be next to her even more.

"Come on aren't you a little curious?" Bulma hold back a laugh. Vegeta blushed so hard that he was literally red. "Unless you don't know how.."

"I know how to kiss a girl"

"really? Have you done it before?"

"Ah uhn no but-" he lost his words as she came closer, totally oblivious to his body reaction.

"Then… come on. You're friends, I don't see why not". She always wonder what was like to kiss him, she guessed it was because she really, really like him, more than her other friends in school. She always felt privileged when he ignore everyone, especially girls of their age, to talk to her.

"You're vulgar". He said trying to piss her off and change the subject. Didn't work.

"I AM CURIOUS. Come on close your eyes"..

When Vegeta saw her face approaching he froze a little. She was really going to kiss him. He decided to approach her until their lips were touching. They stayed like that for a few seconds, no tongue, just lips. It was really nice, innocent but it was the world for them. He enjoyed more than he wanted to, his heart was beating fast and so was Bulma's, she always wonder what was like to kiss a boy, and especially Vegeta.

They didn't know how or when but as they broke apart Bulma notice her arms around his neck and Vegeta's arm around her waist.

When they broke apart none of them spoke, they just stayed staring at each other. Vegeta was about to say something when Stane approach.

"Prince Vegeta. We need to speak with you about the ceremony"

"now?"

"I'm afraid so sir."

"I'll be right there" said the prince dismissing the older man who left thinking: When I told everyone that this girl was a tread to the prince no one believed in me. Now look at these two. It won't stay like that for too long.

Vegeta looks at Bulma still lost in what to say for her. "I have to go.. Uhn we talk later?"

"Yeah" she said smiling for him. Truth was, she wanted to kiss him again but he has his duties, they could talk about this later.

But they didn't. After that meeting Stane kept him very busy with others subjects, he barely had time to see Bulma. And the days passed and finally he was going to be crown.

The throne room was full; there were members of the consul, ministers, representatives from other planets. The ceremony was being broadcast for the people. The teachers and their families were invited and had a reserved seat, but Vegeta insisted on having Bulma sitting in front.

The members of the royal consul were waiting for the future King. When Vegeta arrived everyone stood up as he walks to the throne. Once there he gave a quick look and saw Bulma right where he wanted her to be. He knelt on one knee and wait as the president of the consul, Stane, approach holding the crown followed by the rest of the consul members, but it was him who spoke: .

"Prince Vegeta, will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the People of Vegetasei, according to ours laws and customs?"

"I solemnly promise so to do". His voice was loud and firm. Stane continues:

"Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgments?"

"I will". With that Stane came closer and put the crown Vegeta's head while saying:

"People of Vegetasei, I here present unto you ..., your undoubted King Vegeta XI". When Vegeta stood up, now as a King, the council members moved away and knelt in respect to the new King, as well as those present. A new era was starting for their planet.

At the end of the ceremony some people went to streets to celebrate, others to try to see the new King, many of them yelling "long live the King". They were curious, it's been a while since the last time they saw Vegeta, and as costume Vegeta decided appear on the balcony of the castle a little as the people greeted him.

Right after the ceremony Astrid came by searching for the young King who was inside the castle with Bulma.

"... and that was cool" she heard Bulma say.

"My King" Astrid called to get his attention.

"Yes"

"I came here to inform you that it would be necessary for you to travel. There will be a meeting with the others leaders to discuss a new commercial agreement. We think it would be extremely important that you be there personally"

"Right, and when this would be?"

"By the end of this week sir. If your Highness decided to go, you need to leave tomorrow"

"Tomorrow?" Bulma questioned looking back at Vegeta.

"Make the arrangements". Said Vegeta. When Astrid left Bulma spoke.

"Does this means you will not be here by the time I left?"

"I guess. But I don't really have much of a choice."

"I know, but still... I don't want us to become strangers. I'm afraid of that once I move out it would be hard to see each other."

"This will not happen."

"Promise?"

He sends her a nod and that was enough for her.

"I had an idea" she said

"Not a good one"

"You didn't even heard it" raising her voice.

"But I already know. I'm the King I know everything"

She roll her eyes before. "God help the saiyan race now... Let's take a picture!"

"No"

"Come on, you said yourself that you are the King, need to get used to this kind of stuff, and besides I don't have a picture of you"

"Doesn't matter"

"of course it does... I have a picture of all my others friends but you"

"what? What do you mean other friends? Since when? Boys or girls?" he didn't like the idea of another person, especially a boy making her laugh. Bulma ignored him and took her camera out of one of her capsules, after that she hold him by his back.

"Come on Veggie look at the camera" she said

"Girl don't call me that, I'm your King... Don't ignore me" he make the mistake of look at the camera for one second, when Bulma realize it she took the picture. It was a funny one, she was smiling with her arms over his shoulders and Vegeta was pouting.

"Bulma!" just now they realized that Mrs. Briefs was standing at the door. "Oh, I'm sorry King Vegeta, but Bulma you need to get your stuffs ready, don't forget that he leave tomorrow".

"I'll be there mom". When Mrs. Briefs left Bulma turns to Vegeta. "Guess I need to go. Do you wanna stay with the picture?"

"I thought you said you wanted it"

"Well I thought we had time to make us a copy. But you can have it, I look gorgeous here, you're gonna need something beautiful to look at"

Then she says that I am arrogant. "Whatever" he said holding the camera. Bulma gave him a smile and turned to leave, that's when Vegeta hold her hand, by the time she looks at him he gave her a small and innocent kiss, like the other just the lips touching, but for them was so much more! When they broke Bulma hold him for while.

"Have a safe trip Veggie, and don't forget about me".

"humph we already talk about this, stop being silly"

She smiled and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.

"Bye Veggie" with that she left.

oOo

Early next morning Vegeta was ready to go. It was too soon, most of the people were still sleeping. He took some time to sneak into Bulma's room, she was sleeping peacefully, and he stays there watching her for a while. He really like this girl, she was different from everyone he knows. Afraid of what she said might come true, that with time they would grow apart from each other, he pulled out his royal necklace and left it on her hand, careful to not wake her up, he wanted her to have something of his.

In the ship on his way to the planet, Stane was talking with Vegeta about the meeting when he realized that he was without his necklace.

"I'm sorry my King but, where is your necklace?"

The King just said "I don't know where I left it. Just make me another one", not wanting to talk about it anymore he decided to leave. "I'll be in my room"

oOo

The first thing Bulma realized then she wake up it was that her day to go back to her city finally arrived. It's a sad day, I can't believe I'm leaving.

The second thing was something hard on her hand. She looks to see what it was and recognize Vegeta's necklace, the girl couldn't help the smile on her face and wonder when she would see him again.
