Something was up. She knew that much. Ever since the girls took their dresses to Bulma's house for safe keeping they had been acting weird. And that was a common thing for her mother, but not 18. Like all mornings, normally, 18 came to pick her up for school. Bulma was running late and was eating breakfast when 18 came walking in. She walked right by Bulma, not saying a word and walked out of the kitchen followed by Mrs. Briefs. Taking another bite of cereal. 'They are up to something.' Bulma glared at her best friend when she came in laughing with her mother.

"What?"

"Nothing." Bulma stood up, grabbed her jacket. "Let's go."

The rest of the morning, Bulma stayed in her bad mood, not even fighting over the chair with Vegeta was going to do it. Lunch finally rolled around and she slammed her stuff down on the table and waited for everyone to show up and Vegeta with her food. Again she knew something was up, when all of them came walking to the table laughing, even Vegeta, whom wasn't laughing, but walking with them. She grabbed her Philly cheese steak from Vegeta's tray and started eating, ignoring everyone including her boyfriend. After she was done, she kissed Vegeta on the cheek and left the cafeteria. "So Bulma's party is this Saturday night?" Chi-Chi asked making sure Bulma was gone.

"Yeah, it's a surprise. She has no clue." 18 giggled.

"Well, duh otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise." Vegeta said taking another bite his sandwich.

"Shut up." 18 rolled her eyes.

"Remember Blondie, I'm the distraction Saturday. Don't piss me off or I'm telling her."

"You wouldn't!" 18 yelled. Vegeta just gave his signature evil grin and went back to his food. "It will be a great party. Her grandparents are even coming." Vegeta and Krillin both shivered at the thought of more bear hugs from Gram.

Bulma stayed in the library the rest of lunch and went about her classes like normal. In gym she went with Vegeta and played soccer with him, ignoring 18 and leaving her with Krillin, who was having troubles with everything today. "Vegeta, what are they planning?" Bulma kicked the ball to Vegeta.

"Hell if I know woman, I just hang around them. You and Chrome Dome are the only ones I converse with." he kicked the ball back to her.

"Do you ever listen to yourself speak?"

"Why?" Vegeta raised an eye brow.

"You sound so formal." Kicking the ball back to him.

"So it doesn't bother you does it?" Kicking the ball hard back to her.

"Oof, no." Bulma picked up the ball. "I just know they are up to something." She grabbed his hand and they headed back inside.

Saturday morning, Bulma got up early and headed down for breakfast, she didn't know if it was her eyes were playing tricks on her or if Vegeta was really sitting in her kitchen at 8 a.m. "What are you doing here so early?"

"Can't I come see you on your birthday?"

"My Vegeta isn't functional till 10 on weekends." She pushed pass him to make her breakfast.

"Well not today. I've decided to be nice and do boyfriend duties for you today." He sat back down.

Bulma turned and looked at him in disbelief and nearly over flowed her cereal bowl. "Like what?"

Vegeta hadn't thought that far yet. 18 and Mrs. Briefs just told him to keep her out of the house till 5. "Umm...shopping."

Again Bulma stared in disbelief at her boyfriend. "Ok now really what did you do with my Vegeta?"
"Woman! Just eat your fucking breakfast, get dressed and let's go, before I change my mind and go home and go back to sleep."

"Fine, fine." She sat down. "I promise, shopping with me is fun." She winked at him.

An hour later, Bulma was ready and they left the house and headed for the mall. "So where do you want to go first?" She asked him.

"I need some new pants. So let's get my shit, since there will be less and then you can start."

"Ok." Bulma clapped. "Are you going to model your pants for me?"

Shaking his head. "No woman."

"Fine. I'll model for you though." She grinned.

"Great I can't wait." He said sarcastically.

"Oh, I know. Especially the modeling I'm going to do for you." She winked at him. "So is dinner included in this boyfriend duty day?"

"No, your mother wants you home for dinner."

"Ok."

Vegeta took his sweet time, finding pants and keeping her busy the rest of the morning. They ate some lunch at the mall then headed to some of her stores. Dillard's, Spencer's, Gap, J.C. Penny's, (A.N. Sorry I'm a history buff and from Wyoming, Did you know that J.C. Penny's was started in a small town in southwest Wyoming called Kemmerer.) Gucchi, so on and so forth. Vegeta was feeling pretty happy that she hadn't modeled for him at all. He didn't want to sit there bored out of his mind. Finally the last stop came...Victoria's Secret. "Ready?" Bulma said winking at a wide eyed Vegeta.

"I'll just sit on the bench."

She grabbed his hand as he started to walk away. "OH, no there buddy, my birthday, my rules." She drug him inside. "Come on." She walked up to the counter. "Back room please."

The lady looked up. "Well hello again Ms. Briefs." She looked around Bulma. "I see you brought your boyfriend this time. Right this way."

"Thank you Melissa." Grabbing Vegeta's hand again and following the clerk.

"I take it, you come here a lot?"

"Yep." Bulma smiled.

They got to the back room. "I'll make sure no one else comes back here. Oh and we just got a new shipment in that isn't out front yet. Would you like me to bring you the black and blue pieces?"

"That would be great. Thank you."

(A.N. Ok everyone remembers what the back room looks like right?)

When Melissa came back with the pieces Bulma pushed Vegeta into one of the chairs and walked into the dressing room right in front of him. He looked around and saw hunting and sports magazines next to the chair. 'Well at least I can read.' Vegeta picked one up and started looking through it. "Let me get this straight woman. You can try on this stuff? And only wear blacks and blues?"

"Correct. I do have some whites, but I like black and blue, better. And the only reason I get to try stuff on is because I will buy it." The curtain opened and Vegeta looked up and nearly fell out of his chair. There stood his girlfriend in a matching blue lace thong and bra set. "You like?" He just nodded.

'I like this modeling.' This continued for over an hour and a half. The time was 4 and they were finally done. As the walked out of the mall, Bulma stopped dead in her tracks in front of a store window. Vegeta looked back at his girlfriend. "What's the matter woman?"

"I...want...it!" She ran into the store. Vegeta looked up to see what she was looking at and shook his head and followed.

"My I help you?" A very stuck up woman asked.

"Yes, I would like to try on the dress in the window. Please."

The woman looked at the dress then Bulma. "I'm sorry that's a size 2 you are clearly a size 4. Try Target." (A.N. Not saying target is bad I love Target!)

"Excuse me!"

'Here we go.' Vegeta thought ready to watch his girlfriend explode and grinned.

"Just because I have bigger boobs then your brain doesn't mean I can't fit into that. Do you know who I am?" The woman shook her head no. "I'm Bulma fucking Briefs! Heiress to Capsule Corporation, you will get that dress and you will let me try it on. NOW!" The woman rushed at took the dress down and gave it to Bulma who was waiting in a dressing room. After a few minutes she came out. Vegeta took one look and nearly fell over again. It was perfect on her. Hugging her body just right. And red was great. (A.N. Can you guess what dress this is?) Bulma frowned. "I love it, too bad I spent my limit already today." She turned and walked back into the dressing room.

Vegeta turned to the woman. "How much?"
"I'm sorry sir but I don't think you could afford it."

Vegeta smirked and slammed his Ouji Industries credit card down on the counter. "I believe I can."

Bulma came out and handed the dress to the woman. "Thank you for letting me try it on." Then the woman put it in a box and handed back to her, confusing Bulma. "Listen I know I'm rich, but that doesn't give me the right to just take something."

"No, your boyfriend bought it."

She looked at Vegeta in disbelief and smiled. "Yeah, I know your full of surprises."

They walked out of the store and the mall to the truck and drove off.

"This is the best birthday! I have a fantastic boyfriend and only I know." Bulma said hanging up the dress. After they got back to her house Vegeta went to tell her mom she was home and Bulma took her stuff up stairs.

"Woman can you get your ass down here!"

"I'm coming you fucking prick!" Bulma came running down the stairs.

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Bulma looked was around in shock. Her parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin, Dr. Gero, 18, Krillin, Tien, Launch, Goku, Chi-Chi, Piccolo, Nail, Shin Kai, Robert Cell, Brody Buu, the rest of the football team and Vegeta all there for her birthday.

"I knew you guys were up to something! Vegeta was being too nice!" She finished coming downstairs.

Everyone laughed.

At the party, everyone else met Gram, Grammy and Papa. Goku loved Gram and had no clue why. Bulma's party went over great. She was so happy. After the party was over, 18 stayed over like she did on all of Bulma's birthdays. "Do you think we will still be doing this when we are old ladies?" Bulma said sitting on her bed.

"We will be the old ladies causing hell in the nursing home." 18 laughed. "Its great how both our birthdays go. Me September 21st, your half birthday and you March 21st, my half birthday. So what did Vegeta get you?"

Bulma jumped up and got the dress out. "Isn't it beautiful."

"Wow, Veg-head is full of surprises."

Bulma smiled and put the dress back. "I don't want this year to end."

"Why?"
"College. I'll be on the east coast, while Vegeta is in Texas."

"Hey. Krillin and I will be in Boston, we will be close enough together. Nothing will stop us." 18 smiled.

"You think?"

"Well not unless, you get a wild hair up your ass and decide to go to Texas with Veg-head."

"I don't think so I've worked my ass off to get into Princeton."

18 nodded in agreement. "So let's watch Fool's Gold?"

"Ok." Bulma got up and put it in and sat back down next to the only person she ever let so close to her. (A.N. Well now there are two. ^_^) 'No matter what is going on in my life she is always there for me. I don't know what I would do without her.' Bulma smiled and watched the movie.
