I don't own Dragonball Z or the characters. I suck at understanding football, but here's a shot at it. And I don't own any songs that are in this chapter. Rockin the Beer Gut belongs to Trailer Choir.
The girls spent the majority of the day at the mall and ended up at Radditz's house. "So we will leave our cars here. Just in case we need to give rides home." Chi-Chi said getting into Radditz's truck.
"Knowing half the team, if we win we'll be giving lots of rides home." 18 said shutting the door.
"Too bad I don't have enough rooms for everyone to crash in." Radditz started up the truck.
The girls went and stood in the usual spots, while Radditz headed to stand by the boys. "Bulma honestly I really can't figure out why Vegeta." Chi-Chi said buttoning up Goku's jacket.
"Well it's something no one else sees."
"Obviously." 18 said.
"It's the little things he does, the way I can only read his eyes. That's all. I don't want a man that is always around like to others, no offense, I want to be myself and he lets me." She smiled burying her head into Vegeta's jacket and adjusting her camera around her neck.
"That's so sweet." Launch said clapping.
The game was in over time. Tied at 37-37, Vegeta made the last touchdown that brought them into overtime. The Eagles had the ball. "So Bulma, 18 you know all those guys?" Chi-Chi said taking a drink.
"Yeah, pretty much." Bulma said taking a picture.
"That's my brother, in number 17, and that's his name. And there is Pikkon Burton, Bojack Bass, Gokua Bitney, and Bido Burns." 18 said pointing to the players. "And besides that, Yamacha and Lance are the only ones we know."
"Oh." Chi-Chi said turning back to the game.
Yamacha and his guys were getting closer to their goal line, where the girls were standing. "Hey Bulma, the guys are in a huddle go talk to Piccolo real quick for me." 18 said with an evil grin.
Bulma looked confused at 18 and looked at Chi-Chi in Launch who were in their own little talk about Goku, "Why?"
"Just tell him to go after number 8, Pikkon. I've seen this play and Yamacha will definitely throw the ball to him. Tell him to do that and not look back and run with it. And just stay over there ok?" 18's grin grew.
"Ok." While Bulma ran off to tell Piccolo, 18 turned to Chi-Chi and Launch.
"Hey why don't you girls go get us some hot chocolate." Throwing them some money. "Please."
"Ok." They both said running off.
The boys broke and got into line at the 20 yard line. Yamacha got the ball and was looking for Pikkon. As he looked he saw him and pass him was a pair of boobs. He blanked out and throw the ball missing Pikkon completely and right into Piccolo's hands. The whole West Central side of the field was chanting "Go, Piccolo, Go!" Piccolo maneuvered around all that tried to stop him, they were caught off guard because that play never failed. Bulma, Krillin, Goku and Vegeta were standing up with the rest of the benched team yelling for Piccolo. Chi-Chi and Launch forgot about the hot chocolate and were jumping up and down cheering him on. TOUCHDOWN! The Bulls won State Championship. Yamacha who snapped out of it as soon as the ball got into Piccolo's hands looked for the offender with the nice rack but no one was standing there. Before the teachers would let the student body on the field they made sure the two teams shook hands. After that the student body flooded onto the field. 18 found Krillin and gave him a big kiss, Chi-Chi and Launch did the same thing for their boys. Vegeta was standing there with his arms crossed, happy and pissed off at the same time. He wanted to make the winning touchdown, oh well. Yamacha was making his way off the field when he saw Bulma walking towards him. He stood his head.
'She better not tell me better luck next time.' He watched her and she started to smile and her walk turned into a run. Yamacha was waiting for her onslaught but she ran right pass him to Vegeta. Yamacha turned around and saw them share a deep passionate kiss, turned around and walked off. This was the first kiss they shared in public and Vegeta was hoping the last. (A.N. Remember he likes things private.)
"Congratulations." Bulma whispered to him.
"Thanks." He smirked. The team and student body started making their way off the field. The boys were heading to the locker room. "Remember woman, we have to talk."
"I know. I'll be waiting by the truck." Bulma ran off to catch up with 18, Launch and Chi-Chi. A matter of time the boys came out. "Hey 18, I'm going to ride with Vegeta ok."
"Whatever. Just don't do anything." 18 climbed into Radditz's truck with Krillin.
"Will we see you at the party Bulma?"
"Yeah Chi-Chi, Veggie and I just have to talk first."
"Ok. See you there." Chi-Chi, Launch and Tien got into Goku's truck and took off followed by Radditz.
"Ready woman?"
"Ready."
As he drove it dawned on him that he didn't know where they were going. "Woman where are we going?"
Bulma looked over at him and smiled. "Let's go to the place we went before heading to Radditz's house homecoming night."
With a smirk. "Ok."
After a quiet ride they got there. Bulma got out of the truck and went over to the ledge and brushed off the snow to sit down. Vegeta got out and zipped up his coat and went and stood between her legs. "Alright woman, I've be patient enough, now out with it."
Bulma looked into his eyes and saw he was confused. "What I'm going to tell you isn't easy for me to say. I've never said it to anyone outside my family and 18." She smiled at him. "I have never felt this way about anyone before. I know we've only been dating for two months but I don't want that to change." Looking down at her hands in his. "I don't want to scare you away."
Vegeta's stoic face turned to shock. He lifted Bulma's head to look at him. "You won't scare me away. You could have done that the first time we met, but you didn't." She smiled, his stoic face returned. "Now out with it."
She took a deep breathe in. "I love you. And I don't care if you don't feel the same way, but I wanted you to know that I love you."
Vegeta was a little taken back at this. He composed himself to speak. "Wo...Bulma, I'm not entirely sure what love is. I've never had someone love me. So I don't know how." She looked down to hide her tears. "But, if it's this annoying, confusing, heated, passionate feeling I get when I think of you or see you walk into a room..." He lifted her head again. "Then I don't want to live without it." Then he smiled! A real smile that made Bulma melt. She fell into his arms and cried tears of joy.
"Oh Vegeta." She buried her face into his chest.
Vegeta decided to ruin the moment with his next comment. "So does that mean the sex rule is out now?"
Bulma froze, she slowly looked up at Vegeta who was grinning and she was giving him the death glare, that would have sent any other guy running. "NO!" She punched him in the arm.
"Hey, give me a break." Rubbing his arm. He laughed and headed back to the truck. "Come on, let's go. It's fucking cold out here."
She shook her head and followed him. When she got into the truck, she felt Vegeta pull her into the middle. "So now I get to sit bitch?"
"You've always been able to sit bitch, but I'm making you know until the truck gets warm again."
"Ass hole."
Backing out, "You know you love it."
The arrived at the party and everyone was already drinking. Vegeta left Bulma with their coats to put them in Radditz's room and to get himself a drink. Bulma went and found the girls, 18 was sitting at the table annoyed at Launch and Chi-Chi who were drunk. "You did it didn't you?"
Bulma grabbed a pop, "Did what?"
"Don't bullshit me Bulma. You told him didn't you?"
Bulma sat down next to her best friend. "Yep and he told me the same."
18 looked at Bulma in disbelief. "What!"
Bulma was about to say something when Chi-Chi and Launch came up to them singing. "She was Rockin the Beer Gut..." Bulma and 18 started laughing at their drunk friends. As the night winded down, people started to leave. Goku and Chi-Chi went to his room, Tien, who was still sick so didn't drink, took Launch home. 18 took Krillin home and Bulma loaded Vegeta into the truck to get him home. When she got to his house she saw Vegeta's dad and a woman fighting in the living room.
'Wonder why he is up at 3 a.m.' Bulma continued to drive to her house, where she managed to get Vegeta upstairs and into bed. She changed and crawled into bed as well. Right after laying down she felt Vegeta move and put his arms around her. She soon joined him in sleep.
