Bulma slowly looked up at 18, who's smile had disappeared and was replaced with a deep glare. She looked at Chi-Chi and Launch, who just seemed to have froze. Bulma turned around and met a pair of dark eyes. Her smile disappeared and a frown showed up. "What the fuck do you want Lance!"
Running his fingers through his blond hair. "Well we..." Pointing to Yamacha and some other guys. "were walking by and saw your beautiful show." He winked at Bulma.
"Leave us the fuck alone ass hole." Bulma turned around to talk to her friends.
"Converting others to be whores like you and 18 hmmm?" Bulma didn't move. "Hit a nerve didn't I?"
Bulma looked at Chi-Chi and whispered, "Chi-Chi hold these." Chi-Chi shook her head yes and grabbed the bags. Before Lance knew what hit him, Bulma turned around and punched him in the nose.
"You Bitch!" Looking up at Yamacha. "Control your Bitch will ya Yamacha."
Folding his arms and looking away. "She's not my bitch anymore."
Putting her hands on her hips in true Bulma fashion and looked down at Lance, who was holding his bleeding nose. "We aren't the whores. Maybe you should look a little closer at yourselves." Bulma turned back around and grabbed her bags from Chi-Chi.
"Bulma, your a bitch and you know it!" Lance got to his feet and looked at Chi-Chi and Launch. "If your smart, you'll get away from these two."
It was 18's turn to blow up. She was about to punch him when... "There you girls are. We've been...looking...for you?" It was Krillin and the guys, all whom had puzzled looks on their faces except Vegeta. "What's going on here?"
Lance looked at Krillin "Well Baldy these girls don't know how to leave us alone."
"Is that why the woman gave you a bloody nose Dickweed." Vegeta finally spoke up and walked up to where Bulma was standing.
"This has nothing to do with you Ouji!"
"Shut the fuck up will ya!" Vegeta yelled. "Leave the girls alone and go." Turning to the girls. "Let's go I'm starving."
"This isn't over Ouji! Same to you Bulma!"
"Fuck off. Lance." Bulma turned and looked at Vegeta.
After Lance, Yamacha and the others walked off. "Well that was interesting." 18 said then started laughing. "First you get Yamacha now Lance. Bulma you should take on the whole team."
"I feel like I could." Turning to the boys. Tien and Goku were frozen and Krillin was blushing.
"So woman, care to tell us why you were fighting with those fucking losers outside of Victoria's Secret?" Vegeta was interested in hearing an answer.
Bulma looked at Chi-Chi and Launch, who were beat red. "Well. After we left Dillard's 18 and I wanted to come here. And Chi-Chi and Launch were holding our bags for us." Turning to Chi-Chi. "Thanks." Bulma grabbed not only her bag but Chi-Chi's too. Turning back to Vegeta. "So hungry? Where should we go?"
Food snapped Goku right back. "Red Lobster!"
"Ok sounds great." Bulma smiled.
"Ummm. We can't. I'm allergic to shell fish I can't even be in the same room as it." Launch spoke up softly.
Bulma thought about it. "How about Cracker Barrel?"
"YEAH! FOOD!" Goku yelled jumping up and down. "Let's go!" Goku run off towards the parking lot.
Vegeta shook his head in disgust. "We'll meet you there." Vegeta, Krillin and Tien followed Goku.
The girls got to Chi-Chi GMC Jimmy and were putting stuff in the back end. "Bulma...thanks for doing that." Chi-Chi said getting into the driver's seat.
"No problem. I didn't want to see you guys get embarrassed." Bulma said buckling her seat belt in the back seat next to 18.
"Yeah. We've known all four of them for so long...Thanks again." Launch said as Chi-Chi started to pull away.
"We should go to a movie after dinner with the guys." 18 spoke up.
"Yeah!" Bulma cheered. "What should we see?"
"Let's ask the guys at dinner." Chi-Chi said as the pulled into the Cracker Barrel parking lot. "Looks like they already went inside. Knowing my Goku, he probably couldn't wait." Shaking her head.
The walked inside to see the guys got a table. Krillin and Tien were sitting next to each other with two empty seats next to them and Vegeta and Goku were sitting across from them. Bulma took a sit next to Vegeta, Chi-Chi next to Goku, 18 next to Krillin and Launch next to Tien. "Have you guys ordered yet?" Chi-Chi said picking up a menu.
"No, just drinks. I got you a diet pepsi Chi-Chi."
Smiling and leaning in to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you Goku."
With his goofy grin. "Your welcome."
"Will you two stop!" Vegeta said not looking up from his menu.
"Be nice Vegeta! It's not mine or Goku's fault you can't have happiness like this."
"Shut up."
After the placing their orders Chi-Chi spoke up again. "What happened to working on Krillin's car all day?"
"Well Chrome Dome forgot to tell us the part he needs won't be in till sometime next week."
"Hey. I didn't know. It said fast shipping. I thought it would be here by now." Krillin looked down at his lap.
"SO!" 18 wanted to change the subject. "We should go to a movie after this."
"What did you have in mind?" Tien spoke up.
"I don't know some pick."
"OH! Alvin and the Chipmunks 2!" Everyone looked blankly at Goku. "Or not."
"How about Sherlock Holmes?" Bulma squealed out and then punched Vegeta in the arm.
"Alright. Anything that has Robert Downing Jr. in it is great." 18 said. Everyone else agreed to go to it. Dinner was quiet, except a few small talk and the occasional squeal from Bulma, which confused everyone except 18 and Vegeta. After dinner they headed to the movies and watched Sherlock Holmes. After the movies the girls and the guys went their own ways.
Vegeta's truck pulled into Goku's brother's driveway and the boys unloaded. "Let guys night of drinking and bloody movies begin!" Krillin cheered as he ran inside.
"I thought you guys were going to be here over two hours ago." Radditz came in from the kitchen.
"Sorry bro. We went to the movies with the girls."
"Whatever." Radditz sat down on the couch and opened at beer. Vegeta and Krillin soon followed. Tien never drank and Goku called Chi-Chi to see if it was ok.
"Yes, Goku. I don't mind. As long as you don't drive....love you too night." Chi-Chi hung up her phone as she pulled into Bulma's driveway.
"You two should stay the night. 18 and I could teach you how to do your hair and do different things with make up."
"Oh, we don't want to bother you." Launch said.
"No it's ok! The guys are having a night. So we should do the same." 18 said as she grabbed her bags.
"Ok. Let me call my dad." Chi-Chi pulled her phone back out.
"I need to call my mom." Launch said.
After the girls got settled, Mrs. Briefs brought up snacks for the girls. "It's so nice to see more girls here." She sat down next to Chi-Chi on Bulma's bed. "Chi-Chi have you ever thought about bangs?"
Looking at her hair. "No why?"
"You would look great with some. Want me to cut your hair?"
"I think I should go to a hairdresser to get it done."
"Don't be silly. Mrs. B cuts Bulma and my hair all the time. It saves money." 18 said looking through movies.
"Ok. If you think I will look good with them."
The next day the girls spent time sitting around Bulma's pool and hanging out.
Monday morning Goku was pacing back and forth in front of his truck and Vegeta's truck. "Kakarrot stop!"
"I'm worried Vegeta. This is the first time I haven't picked up Chi-Chi and it worries me." biting his nails.
"They'll be fine." Just then Bulma's car pulled up and her and 18 stepped out. Bulma had her hair straight down and was wearing a green tube top with a camouflage skirt and heeled boots. 18's hair was being held up with a pencil and she had on a tight white blouse with a white tank under and had on a black skirt with black heels.
"Morning boys." Bulma said walking around to the front of her car and leaning against Vegeta's truck next to him.
"Bulma where is our girlfriends?" Goku said as him and Tien moved over to Bulma and 18, who had her arm around Krillin.
Bulma smiled. "Girls come out."
The two back doors to Bulma's GT opened. The side behind the front passenger reveled a tan leg with white heels. Launch stepped all the way out and Tien's heart stopped. She was wearing a lime green lace up top and a white skirt. Her hair was down and waved over her shoulders. She was adjusting herself and looked up and smiled. She walked over to Tien and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Hi. Tien."
"Hi." Was all he could get out.
Next Chi-Chi came out from behind the drivers side. She was wearing the first outfit Bulma had her try on and her hair up in a messy bun. "Chi-Chi you have bangs!" Goku noticed.
"Yep you like?" Chi-Chi walked up to him and put her arms around him.
Bulma leaned over to 18. "We give her a make over and the bangs is all he notices."
"Should have put her in something that had to do with food." Vegeta added in.
Bulma and 18 nodded in agreement. After the first bell, all of them headed inside for class.
It was fourth period and Bulma was working on her art project, when she heard the doors open and her teacher speak up. "Well I'm glad you finally decided to join the class today Ms. Connor." Bulma shot her head up and looked towards the door. There stood Maren Connor.
"Oh shit." She whispered to herself.
"Yeah, well. My grandma passed away so I was back east all last week." Maren said flipping her hair.
"Oh, well I'm sorry for your loss. Now please take a sit and start working on a project."
"Sure thing." Maren walked off and walked right up to Bulma. "Well this is a first. Bulma Briefs at a public high school. Who would have thought."
Bulma didn't even look up. "You should have known from Yamacha and Lance telling you."
Leaning over on Bulma's table. "Yeah, well I've had a bad last few weeks. Haven't spoken to them." She came around and sat down next to Bulma.
"That's bullshit. You and I both know, both of your grandmas live here and are healthy."
"Well a little lie won't hurt." Flipping her hair again.
"Yeah till parent teacher conferences and he talks to your dad."
"That's the nice thing. Daddy is too busy to come to those." Leaning over Bulma. "What are you working on?"
"It's none of you dam business. Now leave me alone."
The bell rang and Bulma literally ran out of the room and ran right into Vegeta and Goku. Vegeta was helping her up when Maren came out. "There's my Veggie!" She came up and tried to give Vegeta a hug and kiss on the cheek but he stopped her.
"Leave me alone bimbo!" Vegeta helped Bulma get her things in her bag and they walked to the cafeteria together. "Man, I hate that girl."
"That makes two of us."
"I'm a friendly guy and I don't like her." Goku said walking with them.
At lunch 18 and Krillin were standing in line when 18 saw Maren come walking in. "What the fuck!"
Krillin looked up at his girlfriend, "What?"
"I didn't see her last week and now she's here."
"WHO?"
18 turned Krillin's head in Maren's direction and pointed. Maren was making her way to the table that Chi-Chi, Goku, Bulma and Vegeta were sitting at. "Oh Maren? Yeah she goes to school here." Looking back us at 18, "How do you know her?"
18 shook her head and grabbed a hamburger. "Her, Bulma and I use to be really good friends. I mean really good. She did everything with Bulma and me. Till..."
"Till what?" Also grabbing a burger.
"Till she slept with Lance." Grabbing a bag of chips. "Lance and I had been dating for almost two years and I found out he slept with her. I dumped him. That was last fall. She got kicked out of West Haven for sleeping with a teacher. But the teacher and Lance weren't the only ones she was sleeping with."
"Let me guess Yamacha?"
"Yeah. That's what got Bulma and I here." They paid and walked over to the table followed by Launch and Tien. Sitting next to Bulma. "I can't believe she's here. I thought she got kicked out."
"Yeah. I know." Bulma was stirring her chicken noodle soup. "I have art with her." Bulma felt something on her lap and she looked down to see Vegeta's hand patting her leg. She looked up into his eyes and she knew he was trying to comfort her without anyone nothing. She smiled and winked at him.
When Wellness rolled around Bulma and 18 were getting in a better mood, even though Maren had literature with her, Launch, and Tien. They walked into wellness and took their sits in front of the boys. Vegeta leaned forward and whispered into Bulma's ear. "You seem to be in a better mood."
Bulma turned around and winked at him. "Just cause I get to bug you for the next to hours sweetie." She turned back around to see Maren come walking in, stopped, looked around and saw Bulma and the others and smiled. She came over and took the empty seat next to Vegeta.
A.N. Maren's schedule: Math, History, Biology, Art, Lunch, Literature, Wellness and PE
"Hello everyone."
No one said anything to her. Throughout the class Bulma and 18 started to get mad again. Walking out of the class room to the locker room. "I'm going to pound her face if she says anything to me."
"I agree."
Bulma and 18 quickly changed, got to the gym and ran their warm up laps. When they were done they waited for the others. After everyone got their laps in the teacher told them to take a seat. "Ok, everyone. We are starting something new this year. I can't just be letting you do what you want anymore. The school board isn't happy with that. So every three weeks we will be doing structured activities." The class groaned. "First we are going to be doing a dancing unit." The class groaned again, except Bulma, 18, and Maren. "You will be learning to do the salsa, fox trot, waltz, square dancing and...hip hop." Clapping her hands. "Now does anyone know how to dance?"
"Blondie and the woman know how." Vegeta spoke up. Bulma and 18 turned to look at him with a glare, he was wearing a large smirk.
"Bulma. 18. You two know how to dance?"
"Yes, ma'am we were in dance classes when we were little." 18 stated.
"I was in classes too." Maren spoke up.
"Alright! Now let's get into partners. Guys and Girls." Everyone stated to get up. "Hold it! I'll be picking your partners." Everyone groaned again as they stood up. "Ms. Connor, you and Mr. Namek (A.N. Piccolo ^_^ Also on the football team.) will be partners." Looking at Vegeta. "Mr. Ouji since you were so kind to point out that Bulma and 18 can dance you will be partnered with Ms. Briefs." Bulma bite her lip and shook her head and walked over to stand with Vegeta.
'As long as he isn't with Maren.'
"Ms. Gero go stand with Mr. Roshi." 18 walked over to Krillin and winked at him.
While the teacher was naming off the other pairs...
"Vegeta just follow my lead ok?"
"Woman don't tell me what to do." Vegeta crossed his arms.
Bulma stepped in front of him. "Since I'm the one here with the dance experience I suggest you listen to me."
Getting down in her face. "Don't flatter yourself. I'm full of surprises."
They got into their first positions for the salsa and started off slow. Bulma was surprised because Vegeta knew exactly what he was doing. "I told you I'm full of surprises."
After class Bulma and 18 went and changed. When they came out they saw Vegeta and Krillin waiting for them. "What's with the show of this chivalrous act?" Bulma asked walking up to Vegeta.
"Felt like it. Now let's go." They walked out and got into their vehicles and went on their ways.
