The next week on Wednesday, Vegeta was extremely grumpy, more than usual. Bulma was walking to Literature with Goku and Krillin. "What's his deal this week?"

Goku and Krillin exchanged looks. "You mean he didn't tell you." Goku looked back at Bulma.

"Tell me what Kakarrot?"

Goku grinned. "You sounded just like him."

"Spit it out palm head!" Bulma got up in Goku's face.

"It's his birthday Saturday."

"Then why is he so mad."

Krillin spoke up as they walked into literature. "His dad always finds a way to ruin it." Sitting down. "We offered to do something for him, but he said no."

Bulma sat down and grabbed her notebook. "Leave it to me boys."

In P.E. Bulma was running her laps with the rest of the class and caught up to Vegeta. "Hey, you, me, dinner Saturday night."

Vegeta looked over at her. "Is that a demand or question Ms. Briefs?"

"Demand." She took off ahead of him and Krillin, "Just dress nice." She ran off and finished her laps and waited with 18.

"Well she told you Vegeta."

"Shut up Chrome Dome."

As the class finished their laps the teacher brought them together. "Ok everyone. I'm sick of weekly themes, so go back to doing whatever. Go to the weight room and lift, shoot baskets, throw the football, walk or run, but no sitting around." The class cheered and went their own ways. Bulma and 18 went after the basketballs and Vegeta and Krillin went to the weight room.

The next day, Vegeta got called out of welding and wasn't at lunch. Bulma was sitting there at the cafeteria table wondering where he was. 10 minutes before lunch was over he came walking in and grabbed the rest of Bulma's food to eat. "Where were you?"

He looked up at her, he also noticed that Chi-Chi, Launch, Goku and Krillin were gone. "Where are they?"

Bulma shook her head. "They went to look at tuxedos and dresses. Goku and Chi-Chi announced they are getting married on Valentine's Day. Krillin is best man and Launch is maid of honor so they went with them. Now back to my question, where were you?"

"A scout from Texas State came and wanted to talk to me." He took another bite of the sandwich.

"And?"

Vegeta looked up again and saw Tien getting up to dump his trap and 18 reading a magazine. "I signed with them." Going back to the sandwich.

"Oh." Bulma looked down at her lap, then she saw Vegeta's hand on her's.

"Nothing will change." She nodded her head.

Saturday night rolled around and Bulma was at Vegeta's house to pick him up. She didn't get out of the car and he came to the door. He was wearing a nice black polo and blue jeans with his Letterman jacket on. Bulma smiled as he got in the car. "Woman, this is stupid. The man is supposed to pick the woman up not the other way around."

Putting it in reverse. "Will not this time."

Vegeta took in what she was wearing. It was a black halter dress that fanned out towards the bottom, it ended above her knees and she was wearing black lace up heels. "Nice." She looked at him and he winked.

"Happy birthday by the way." They pulled into the Olive Garden.

"The idiots told you didn't they?" Following Bulma out of the car.

"Why didn't you?" She came over and looped her arm in his.

"I didn't think it was important, besides. I don't know when yours is."
Bulma glared up at him. "That's lame excuse. Besides mine is March 21st." They walked inside.

After dinner they left and when Bulma pulled into his drive way she stopped him before he got out. "Not so fast buster." She got out of the car and leaned against it. Vegeta got out and walked around to her.

Grabbing her sides and pulling himself closer to her and kissed her. "Have something else in mind?"

She giggled. "Yep." Right as Vegeta leaned in for another kiss she ducked and opened up the back door and pulled out a box. "I found this yesterday after school at the mall."

He looked at her and grabbed the box. He opened it and saw new pair of football shoes (A.N. I don't know how to spell right now.) and new pads. "Woman, you didn't have to."

She smiled up at him and kissed him. "Well with you playing for the Longhorns this next year, I thought you would need new stuff to start new."

He smiled at her and put the box on top of her car. He leaned back into her and kissed her deeply. Their kiss started getting more intense that both of them were starting to lose control until. "Vegeta it's getting late." They both pulled away from one another and looked up at the porch to see his dad standing there.

"Yes, sir." Turning back to Bulma. "We aren't finished here."

She smiled and gave him a quick kiss. "I know." She got in her car. Vegeta grabbed his present and she drove off.

He walked up the stairs on the porch to greet his dad. "Father."

"She got you a present?" Vegeta nodded. "Let me see." Vegeta opened the box for his father. Vegeta Sr. was taken back. "Wow. Impressive. Now go to bed."

"Yes sir." Vegeta closed the box and headed up to his room. He got to his room and turned on the light and looked over at the collage she made him and he smiled. He walked over and set the box on his bed and pulled out the pads and shoes and sat them out to look at them. When he lifted up his shoulder pads he saw something fall out. He picked it up and turned it over. He smirked when he saw it was a picture of Bulma. She was sitting on the hood over her car in a string bikini grinning. 'Blondie must have taken it this summer.' He grinned and grabbed a empty picture frame that Goku got him three years ago for his birthday. 'Thank you Kakarrot, this finally comes in handy.' He put the picture in and set it on his night stand next to his alarm clock and phone. He grabbed his phone.

Great picture.

Bulma answered back What picture?

The one that was with my pads

Oh that one. You weren't supposed to get that yet.

Really?

Yeah. Oh well. Did you have a good bday?

Best in a long time.

Good. TTYL I'm tired.

K. Night.

Vegeta closed his phone and got ready for bed. He laid awake for several hours thinking of only her and how she has had a great impact on him.

The next day, Bulma and 18 were in the mall when they ran into Maren, Yamacha and Lance. "Well, well. Look what I found boys...whores." Maren said as she crossed her arms and stood between Yamacha and Lance.

Bulma looked up from her cell phone and rolled her eyes and looked back down to finish her text to Vegeta. Closed her phone and looked around. "Whores? I don't see any whores." She then looked at Maren and grinned. "But I do see a whore."

Maren got mad. "Fuck you Bulma!"

"Getting defensive are we Mar?" 18 said looking at her and laughing.

"Shut up you two!" Lance and Yamacha put their hands on her shoulders to calm her down. "I'm so glad I don't have to put up with you two anymore."
Bulma and 18 looked at one another and rolled their eyes. "Meaning?"
"Daddy heard you two are at West Central now and didn't like the fact that I was at the same school as you. So he got me back in West Haven."

"Thank God!" 18 yelled. "Now I don't have to see your ugly face anymore in literature." Turning to Bulma. "Come on B. Let's go get something to eat and leave these losers alone." Bulma nodded her head and they walked off.

"Bitches!"

Sunday, February 14th, 2010, Valentine's Day. Bulma and 18 were fixing each others dresses in one of the rooms at the church while Launch helped Chi-Chi. "Don't you girls think these dresses are great." Chi-Chi clapped.

"Oh yes!" Launch smiled.

Bulma and 18 took at look at each other. Their dresses were pink poofy old fashion dresses. (A.N. Think theme wedding dress from 27 Dresses) They put on fake smiles and looked at Chi-Chi, "They're great Chi."

"Oh, I knew you all would like them." She turned around and looked herself over once more. Then her dad came in.

"Girls it's time to start." He laughed.

"We're coming daddy."

Bulma felt lucky because she got to walk down with Vegeta and who didn't make fun of her for her dress. The ceremony was short and sweet and Chi-Chi started crying, making Launch cry. Bulma and 18 wanted to laugh.

After the ceremony they stayed for pictures, then headed downstairs for the reception. Goku and Chi-Chi sat at a center table with her dad and his grandpa. Bulma sat at a table with Vegeta, 18 and Krillin. "The dresses are great girls." Krillin laughed.

Bulma and 18 shot him a glare. "Krillin, I'm surprised at you!" 18 glared deeper at him.

"Yeah, I thought it would come from Vegeta not you." Bulma said turning to Vegeta. "And he is being a good boy."

"This good boy comes with a price woman." Vegeta said taking a bite.

"Yeah." Bulma turned to the waiter who was walking by. "More food for this big boy please."

After a while Bulma and 18 were getting bored just watching everyone else dance so they pulled their boys out to the dance floor. "This is an interesting way to spend Valentine's day don't you agree?" Bulma asked laying her head on Vegeta's shoulder.

"Whatever."

As the reception came to an end, Vegeta, Krillin and the girls got in the truck and took off. "It's hard to believe school will be over in three months." 18 said letting her hair down.

"I know." Bulma said joining her in undoing her hair.

"We should start thinking about what we are going to do for spring break, prom and summer break." 18 sat back in the back seat.

Bulma turned around to look at 18, "Yeah. Maybe we should go see Gram for spring break."

18 shot up. "That would be awesome!" she turned to Krillin, "You want to come?"

"I don't know babe, I can't leave Gramps by himself for very long. He gets into too much trouble at the bars and clubs."

"Shut it Chrome Dome. Just go."

Bulma looked at her boyfriend. "Do you want to come Vegeta? You made a great impression on Gram at Christmas."

"Sure, Chrome Dome and I will go."

Bulma smiled and turned back to 18, "Ok, on prom and summer break."

"Well its obvious, the boys are taking us to prom and as for summer break. I'm not sure."

"Do you two always have to plan things out?" Vegeta said pulling into Krillin's driveway.

"Of coarse. Sometimes we fly from the seat of our pants, like we will this summer." 18 sat getting out of the truck.

"Thanks for the ride Vegeta." Krillin said getting out.

Vegeta backed out of the drive and headed to Bulma's house. Bulma smiled at Vegeta. "Thank you."

"For what, woman?"
"Agreeing to the spring break." She kissed him.

"Whatever."
