I do not own Dragonball Z, the characters or anything like that. I do own my copies of the seasons and the movies though. ^_^ I also do not own anything relating to Hugh Hefner or Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Enjoy. Please R & R.
The Monday before Halloween rolled around. Bulma had been quiet most of the day and it was starting to get to 18, who usually knew what was wrong, but today she was baffled. "Alright B! What's up your ass today." 18 asked slamming her tray down next to Bulma.
Bulma looked up and saw everyone starring at her. "Nothing." She said softly and looked down. Vegeta came walking up with his tray and set it on the other side of her.
"Blondie's right. What's up with you?" Sitting down.
Again Bulma looked up to see all her friends looking concerned at her. "Are you moving?" Tien asked.
Bulma shook her head no. "Is one of your grandparents in the hospital?" Launch spoke up.
Again a head shake no. "Well then what is it!" Chi-Chi had enough.
Bulma reached into her bag and pulled out and invitation. "Look for yourselves." She throw in the center of the table and Chi-Chi grabbed it and read it aloud.
"To all of my Bulma's darling friends! You are invited to the Capsule Corporation Halloween party! It will be full of games and treats! I ask all of you to dress up in your cute costumes. Hope you come! XOXO Bunny Briefs." Chi-Chi looked up at Bulma, "B, this isn't that bad."
Bulma said nothing. "I guess you've never been to a Capsule Corporation party." 18 said. "B's mom makes it so childish."
"Why don't you ask your mother if you can have your own party in another part of the house." Everyone turned their attention from Bulma to Vegeta how was eating and not looking at any of them.
"Vegeta, you're crazy. Bulma's mom wants us..."
"No, that's a great idea!" Bulma hopped up. "Launch can you redesign the invitations?"
"Sure." Launch said looking around confused.
Bulma smiled. "Ok! I'll see you guys later, I'm going to go call my mom."
Everyone just nodded except Vegeta and 18. After Bulma was gone. "Have you guys thought about what your going to dress up as?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Chi, we just found out." Goku said with a mouth full of food.
"Well I know what I'm going to be." Chi-Chi said proudly.
"Bulma and I already have costumes, we have to go to the party, unless she can change that." 18 said poking her spaghetti.
Chi-Chi smiled. "Ok. Let's start brain storming!"
After lunch, 18 was heading up to literature, when Vegeta caught up with her. "You didn't say much at lunch."
"So."
"Have you put any thought into what you're going to dress up as?"
"What's the woman dressing up as?"
"A saloon girl."
"Ok." Vegeta turned right and walked into his math class.
"Jerk." 18 rolled her eyes as she walked into her literature class.
The next day at lunch, Launch pulled out the new invitation she designed. Bulma looked it over. "Awesome job Launch!"
"You really like it?"
"It's great!" Bulma set it down in the middle of the table so everyone could see it.
"Cool a party, can bro and I come?"
Bulma looked up to see Nail smiling down at her. "Of coarse Nail! The whole football team is invited." She leaned against Vegeta. "I was going to have Veggie here hand them out to you."
"Woman get off of me." Pushing her over. "Get Kakarrot or Chrome Dome to do it."
Halloween night. Bulma convinced her mom into letting her and her friends have their own party. The girls came over Friday night to help set up and stayed over. "Well I think it looks awesome in here!" Bulma took one more look around her dad's old lab that they were using. They made it look like Dr. Frankenstein's lab.
"I agree. Now let's go get ready. Everyone will be here soon." 18 said pulling Bulma out the door.
The girls were almost done when Bulma's mom yelled up at them. "Girls! The boys are here."
"Ok, mom! Can you show them to the old lab. We will be there in a few."
"Ok."
The girls gave themselves the once over. Chi-Chi was a sexy pirate, Launch was Greek Goddess, 18 was a Playboy Bunny and Bulma was a Saloon girl. They made it down to the lab to see almost everyone there that they invited, except one...Vegeta. Bulma smiled at all her friends. Their boyfriends matched them. Goku a pirate, Tien a Greek God, and Krillin was wearing slippers and a robe (A.N. Take a wild guess. ^_^) She walked over to get some punch when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "If you bent over just right I could see up your dress."
She blushed and smiled. "Hi Vegeta." She turned around and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Then looked at him and his cowboy outfit. "How did you know I was going to be a saloon girl?"
Smirking and pointing to 18, "Blondie told me."
"Oh, good 18." She turned back around and filled two cups. "Punch?"
Vegeta smelt it. "There's no alcohol in it."
"So. Can't you go to a party without getting trashed?"
Leaning into her and whispering in her ear. "No, cause when your there, I always like the results." He stood back and walked away to watch Goku drown himself driving for apples. Bulma smiled and went to visit with other people.
Halloween was a success, one crashes and no drunkenness. Time soon came for the all-state championship football game between the West Central Bulls and the West Haven Eagles. West Central was full of spirit that week. Everyone wore the school colors of black and blue and everyone was planning on going to the game. That Friday lunch was quiet, not because the girls were gone, but Krillin, Goku, and Vegeta all had to have a team meeting during lunch and Tien was stuck at home with the flu. "So Bulma, ready for the game tomorrow?" Chi-Chi asked before taking a bite of her salad.
"Yeah. I can't wait to see Vegeta and the boys grind Yamacha and Lance into the ground!" She slammed her fist down in excitement.
"Whoa, calm down there girl!" 18 spoke up, "Remember, our boys are offense, we are going to have to rely on Nail, Piccolo, Shin Kai, Robert Cell and Brody Buu to cream Yamacha and Lance!" Joining in the excitement.
The girls were laughing when the whole cafeteria went quiet. They looked towards the doors and saw Maren come walking in wearing enemy colors of gold and brown. "Well, looks like we pinpointed the only person not for our team." Launch said going back to her salad.
"That girl really chaps my ass." 18 said opening her chips. The all laughed again, besides Bulma. They looked at her. "B, is everything ok? Does your food taste fine?"
"Oh my goodness you might be catching Tien's flu!" Launch nearly screamed.
"No." Laughing nervously. "I'm fine, just thinking."
18, Chi-Chi and Launch looked at one another and back to Bulma. "Like what?"
Bulma looked up at her best friend and her two new best friends. "Me and Vegeta."
Chi-Chi rolled her eyes. "Let me guess, your thinking about breaking up with him?"
"NO! Hell no." Bulma smiled slyly.
"Bulma Rochel Briefs. I know that look. Don't!" Everyone looked at 18 who was glaring. "You two have only been dating for a short time. Don't you dare do it."
Launch and Chi-Chi looked at each other and back at 18, "Don't do what?"
18 pulled Bulma's head up to look her in the eyes. "Don't you dare do it...not yet."
That night, Bulma was waiting for Vegeta to come over and go over their Physics homework. When he finally came over he was really tired and just wanted to sleep. "Woman we have the rest of the weekend to work on it, can't I just sleep." Laying down on her bed.
"No. Now get up here and let's get it done. Knowing you, after you win tomorrow you'll want to party."
"You know it." After they finished their homework they laid on her bed and watched some t.v. Vegeta noticed that Bulma wasn't being herself, by cuddling up to him and falling asleep. In fact since he got there she seemed distant. "Woman's what the deal?"
"What?" Bulma looked up into Vegeta's dark eyes that she could only read. 'He's worried.' She smiled softly and leaned into him. "Nothing. Just hope you win tomorrow."
"Don't need to hope. I will."
She looked up at him and gave him and deep passionate kiss to reassure him nothing was wrong. "After the game I have something I really want to tell you ok?"
One of his eyebrow's shot up. "Tell me now." Laying back on her bed.
She blushed. "No, I want to wait till tomorrow after the game ok?"
"Fine woman, destroy my fun." He smirked.
