The next week Krillin, Launch and 18 came home. 18 came home alone and decided to have everyone come over for a New Year's party. Bulma came over early and helped set up. "So do you want to go get the movies?" 18 said as her and Bulma finished moving the couch.

Wiping her forehead. "Sure. What sounds good?"

Sitting down on the couch. "I don't care, any I guess."

Bulma went over to her bag. "I almost forgot. Gram brought something for you."

Sitting up. "Really!" Bulma came over and handed the box to her friend. 18 opened it, it was a brand new laptop. "Gram rocks! She always know what someone wants."

"Well at least us two." Bulma got back up and went to the door. "I'll be back in a bit, with the movies and Krillin and Vegeta."

Turning on her new computer. "Ok. Tell them to remember to grab their pjs."

"I will." She walked out the door.

That night after everyone showed up, they sat down to eat pizza 18 ordered and watch one of the movies Bulma and the boys picked out. Inglorious Bastards. After she finished her pizza, Chi-Chi laid her head down on Goku's lap, when she shot up and ran to the bathroom. Everyone looked at Chi-Chi when she came out with a look of concern, except Vegeta of coarse. "Chi-Chi are you feeling ok?" Launch sat rubbing Chi-Chi's back after she sat back down.

"I'm fine."

Three more times she got up and went to the bathroom. Every time, she would get the same look and each time she told everyone she was fine. Bulma was shaking her head from the couch she was sitting on with Vegeta and sharing popcorn with him. After the fourth time, Bulma finally said something. "Chi, we are all going to have to know soon anyways. Just tell us."

Everyone looked at Bulma, "Tell us what?" 18 asked from the floor.

Bulma shook her head and pointed to Chi-Chi. "Ask her not me."

Everyone looked back at Chi-Chi, "BULMA!"

"Hey, just tell them Chi-Chi, we are all friends."

Chi-Chi buried her face in Goku's chest. "Chi, its ok. I'm right here."

"Then you tell them." She sat from his chest.

Goku looked up at everyone, who was starring at them, except Bulma and Vegeta. He rubbed the back of his head and got his nervous laugh going. "Just spit it out Kakarrot so you all shut up and watch the dam movie." Vegeta said taking some more popcorn.

Goku took at deep breath and rested one hand on Chi-Chi's back. "Well...last week..."

"Out this it Kakarrot!"

"We're having a baby!" Goku shot out.

Everyone, including Vegeta were starring with mouths wide open at Goku and Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi slowly faced them with her face beat red.
"Kakarrot I didn't know you had it in ya." Vegeta said turning back to the tv.

Launch looked at Bulma, "You knew?"

"Well ya. Chi-Chi couldn't get a hold of you last week. So she called me. She needed someone to talk to. Everything is fine." Bulma said taking more popcorn.

Goku stood up, still laughing and rubbing his head. "Well since we are on the subject." He got down on one knee in front of Chi-Chi and pulled out a little box and opened it to show a little ring. "Chi-Chi, I know it's not much. But know that my love for you is so much more. Will you marry me?"

Tears came rolling down on her rosy cheeks. "Yes." She fell into his arms and kissed him.

"Enough!" Vegeta yelled, he wasn't even paying attention. "Be quiet so I can watch the fucking movie."

"You're such a jerk Vegeta!" Chi-Chi yelled as Goku put the ring on her finger. "I really don't get why Bulma puts up with you."

Vegeta just rolled his eyes and turned up the volume.

After midnight everyone headed to guest rooms to sleep.

The next week it was back to school. Bulma was having a good day, until she walked into her art class, just because she knew Maren would be in there. Half way through class her mood was getting better, still no Maren. And when she got to wellness, still no Maren. Bulma and 18 were talking when their teacher came in and started class. In P.E. They found out that, that week they would be doing swimming for the week. After class they got dress and made their way to the vehicles. "That was a nice day." Bulma said opening her car door.

"Yeah, no Maren. I could get use to it again." 18 said throwing Krillin a kiss as they drove off.

"Me too." Bulma pulled on her shades as she got into her car.

As the week progressed, still no Maren, and into the next week. Bulma and 18 weren't complaining. One day at lunch Chi-Chi brought up the subject of college. "Well with the baby and all, Goku and I are planning on staying here, so our families can help out."

Bulma took a bite of lasagna. "How did telling your families go?"

"Great! Both my dad and Goku's grandpa are being really supportive. And Radditz could careless. He said, 'Just two less people to give beer to.' What a jerk. Anyways any thoughts of colleges you guys?"

"Launch and I both got offered full rides to Nebraska State. Me for band and Launch for music." Launch just nodded in agreement.

"Krillin and I both want to do law, so we are thinking Harvard." 18 said taking a bite of her lasagna.

Everyone looked at Bulma and Vegeta. "I've already got excepted to Princeton."

Then they all looked at Vegeta. "What!"

Bulma pinched her nose. "What college?"

"I don't know. I got offers to Texas State, Norte Dame, Nebraska State and a couple more back east."

"So you haven't decided?" Goku asked shoveling more food into his mouth.
"I guess whomever comes to ask me sign with them first."

Bulma got really quiet and just looked down at her lunch. "I'm not hungry anymore." She got up and went to dump her tray. She came back. "I'm going to head to History, I need to catch up on reading." She grabbed her bag and left. 18 looked at Krillin.

"Hon, can you take my tray for me?" Krillin nodded his head and 18 got up and ran after Bulma.

She found her in the bath room between the literature rooms and the history rooms, she was sitting on the chair in the corner about to start crying. 18 set down her bag and leaned over to Bulma. "B, you ok?" She shook her head no. "What's the matter?"
Bulma looked up at her best friend with tears in her eyes. "I don't want to be separated from him next year." She put her head back down.

"B, it will be fine."

Shaking her head no. "No is won't. We'll grow apart."

18 was a little taken back and got a confused look on her face. "Have you guys even grown close?"

Bulma looked up, "Of coarse. Vegeta just likes to keep things private."

"That explains so much." 18 reached for Bulma's necklace. "B, look. Vegeta wouldn't have gotten this for you, if he didn't mean it. You two will be fine."

"But everyone else is going to college together except us."

"And you'll be fine." 18 stood up. "Come on, fix yourself up and let's get to class. After school I'll take Krillin home so you and Vegeta can talk."

Bulma gave 18 a weak smile. "Thank you."

"Hey it's no big deal. How many times did you have to come in and calm me down after Lance and I got into a fight. You're my best friend and my sister. I love ya."

"I love you too." They hugged. Bulma got herself back together and headed to history.

During wellness and P.E. Vegeta noticed Bulma was being extremely quiet. In the guys locker room. "Chrome Dome, let Blondie take you home."
Krillin pulled on his shirt. "Ok. You goin to take Bulma?"
"It's not any of your business." Vegeta grabbed his jacket and headed out the door.

Bulma got into Vegeta's truck and they took off. They came to their spot and Vegeta got out and went and sat on the ledge. Bulma slowly got out and went and stood next to him. "What's the deal Bulma!"

Bulma looked up at Vegeta. "I don't want to be separated from you." She started to cry again.

"What are you talking about?"

She came and stood between his legs and buried her head in his chest. "When we go to college. We will be going to different schools."

"So, we'll be fine." He said putting his arms around her.

Looking up at him. "How do you know?"

Looking into her watery eyes and grinning. "I just know. Now come on. Let's get you home."
