An hour went by and they finally found a dress for Launch. It was simple sleeveless white dress with a lime green band around the waist going down the trail. When Launch and Chi-Chi went to take the dress off... "Well...well...well. Whores shopping." Bulma and 18 glared over their shoulders at Maren. "Hey." She came walking up to them. "So Bulma. I hear you got the shit beat out of you."
Bulma laughed. "Obviously you haven't seen Yamacha."
"I heard you attack my poor Yammie-chan."
"Bullshit." Launch and Chi-Chi came back out with the dress to pay for it. Bulma and 18 walked away.
18 smiled over a Maren, "Better watch it or you'll end up like your Yammie-chan." She laughed and the girls left.
The month of June flow by really fast for the eight friends. Chi-Chi's belly kept growing and her and Goku finally got their own place. Launch was busy getting everything set for her and Tien's August 14th wedding. 18 and Krillin were getting everything set for their big move to Boston at the end of August. And Bulma was getting more and more nervous everyday. She didn't want to be away from Vegeta. Things would change and she knew it. Fourth of July finally rolled around and the guys came up with a great plan to spend it. Chi-Chi had found out what it was and wasn't for it. In the truck on their way to pick up Tien and Launch. "Goku, I don't like it. What if something happens. Or my water breaks!"
Laughing. "Chi-Chi was still have a month before he comes, you'll be fine."
Bulma was sitting in the front seat of Vegeta's truck as they drove up the mountain. "So we are camping?" She looked over at Vegeta, who had barely said anything the whole trip. 18 and Krillin had fallen asleep in the back seat, leaving Bulma feeling alone. 'Another hour of this and I'm bound to go crazy.' Bulma thought looking out the window at the pine trees that passed.
30 minutes later the two trucks came pulling into a camp ground. Goku's truck stopped by the out houses for Chi-Chi. Bulma was about to get out. "Don't get out." She turned and glared at Vegeta. "We aren't camping here." She rolled her eyes and shut her door again and sat back. After Chi-Chi got out of the bathroom, they headed off again. Another 30 minutes and they got to their camping spot. It was right off the dirt road under a ton of pine trees. Bulma hopped out of the truck with 18 and walked around to stretch their legs, while the boys started to set up camp.
Chi-Chi looked around. "Where is the shower?" Goku pointed to a curtain that Krillin was hanging up. "I'm not showing in that! Where are we going to get water?" Vegeta pointed to the river. "Oh, no way! Animals make messes in there." Vegeta started laughing. (A.N. He does a lot in this chapter)
"Relax Chi, we will boil the water killing bacteria and other things." Bulma said bring up a bucket of water.
"Whatever. Where can I go to the bathroom? I don't see an outhouse."
Vegeta laughed. "God your pathetic!"
"Come on Chi, I'll show you." Bulma guided Chi-Chi into some trees. Everyone in camp could hear Chi-Chi scream No.
"Bulma I'm not going to the bathroom on that. There's ants and bugs and moss."
"Hey, find a stump take a dump, find and tree take a pee." Bulma tossed Chi-Chi the roll of toilet paper and walked away.
A few minutes later Chi-Chi came running out screaming. "Chi, whats the matter?" Goku said holding her.
"I saw a cute little bunny come pass me and then a big bird came down and carried it off. It was just taking it home wasn't it?"
Vegeta laughed again. "Can Kakarrot spell his name?"
"No." Goku answered. "The bird took it for dinner." He smiled down at Chi-Chi, then got a shocked look on his face and looked at Vegeta. "Hey that's not nice! I can so spell my name."
"Prove it." Vegeta crossed his arms, Bulma standing next to him laughing.
"C...a...Kak....k...Kaka....a....Kakarr....r....Kakarrot....ot."
Vegeta shook his head. "My point taken." He turned and walked off.
That night Chi-Chi came out of her and Goku's tent ready to eat.
"So what are we having?" She clapped as she sat down next to Goku.
"MREs." Vegeta said passing her one.
"What?"
"MREs." Krillin looked up from his. "Meals Ready to Eat."
"Oh." Chi-Chi looked at the side of hers and read the food content. "Spaghetti. My God! This is loaded with calories."
"Well duh, Harpy. They are for camping and hiking and other activities."
"Shut up Vegeta." Chi-Chi looked down at her meal. "Can someone trade me? Spaghetti gives me bad heart burn."
Vegeta snorted and continued to eat him. "Here, Chi. Have mine. It's chicken." Bulma passed her meal to Chi-Chi and took hers. After dinner Chi-Chi got up and headed to the tent to change. After wards she came back out for Goku.
"Come on Goku let's get some sleep. I don't feel like sleeping on the hard ground without you."
Getting up and following her. "But Chi, we brought you a blow up mattress."
"Shut up Goku."
"Fucking hormones." Vegeta muttered loud enough for everyone still eating to hear.
Bulma giggled and looked at 18. "Slap me if I get that bad."
18 nodded. "Same here."
Tien whispered in Launch's ear making her giggle.
"Go your tent if you guys are going to talk dirty." 18 said not even looking up.
Launch starred in shock a 18. "Oh no, we were just laughing about what Bulma and Vegeta's children would be like."
Vegeta nearly fell off the log he was sitting on and Bulma started coughing. "What!" They both said.
"Well yeah....Your children would definitely have a temper, I don't know what one would be worse, Bulma's or Vegeta's or even worse both of them combined. Your children would definitely be leaders and cause tons of trouble. My mom always told me. How bad you are multiply it by 10 and that's how bad your child will be. I guess it's like multiplying by 20." Launch giggled. (A.N. It's true. My sister and I were troublemakers and both our kids are worse then us.)
Vegeta got his bearings back. "Well being my child, he would be just like me." He said proudly, receiving a glare from Bulma.
"Well my child, would be smart, beautiful, creative, and not get in trouble, like me." Bulma got in Vegeta's face.
"Shut it! Both of you!" Everyone looked towards Goku and Chi-Chi's tent. "It would be a leader and trouble maker like Vegeta and have a mean right hook and smarts like Bulma."
Bulma and 18 laughed. "She's right."
After everyone went to their tents, Bulma and Vegeta laid under the open sky looking at the stars. "We should do something to scare the harpy."
Bulma looked up from Vegeta's chest, "I don't want to send her into early labor. Be nice, you can gross her out tomorrow." Vegeta just laughed.
"Woman you could move over a bit."
"Well excuse me. Someone forgot to pack a tent and two sleeping bags. So your stuck with me." Bulma settled back into his chest.
"Sleeping outside doesn't bother you?"
"Nope. I use to camp at Gram's all the time. I like it. Bugs, coyotes, bears, mountain lions, you name it. I'm not scared."
"You and Blondie are the definition of 'don't judge a book by its cover.'"
"Thanks."
The next morning everyone got a good breakfast and decided to do some fishing. It was also 4th of July. "Gram always says, only catch as much as you will eat." Bulma yelled at Vegeta. Who was making fun of her for her two fish and tossed a frog at Chi-Chi making her scream.
"Whatever. Kakarrot will probably clean out the river." Everyone laughed.
Bulma walked down river to clean her fish. "B, what are you doing?"
Bulma looked up on the bank and saw Launch and Chi-Chi watching her. "I'm going to clean them."
"But, they live in water aren't they already clean?"
Bulma starred at Chi-Chi, "No, I'm going to gut them."
"You're not going to kill them are you?"
"Yes."
"But why?" Chi-Chi looked pale.
"To eat them."
Chi-Chi looked back at Launch. "Let's go back to camp."
After they left 18 came over and cleaned her fish. "You two really fooled us." Krillin said joining them.
"Why is that dear?" 18 looked at Krillin.
"Because we had you to pegged at city girls." Tien said joining them.
"Guess you were wrong." Bulma got up and washed her hands in the river. "I'm going back to camp." Bulma walked up the bank, followed by 18.
Later, the boys left, leaving the girls alone. "Bulma are you sure we will be fine?"
"Yes Chi." Bulma didn't look up from her sketch book. "Besides Goku left his truck."
"But Launch and I can't drive a standard."
18 laughed. "We can don't worry."
Chi-Chi calmed down and started frying the fish. "You know what? This is my first 4th of July without fireworks. Actually this is my first camping trip without being in a camp ground." 18 nodded from her magazine and Bulma smiled as she drew.
When the fish were close to being done the boys came back. Everyone ate and talked about the next year. Bulma was still drawing when 18 came up and took it away from her. She looked down and saw a drawing of Chi-Chi yelling. "This is good." She flipped the page and saw a picture of the four boys fishing from earlier. "I want a copy." She flipped the page again and saw a picture of herself asleep in the bed of Vegeta's truck and laughed.
"Thanks."
"You should consider doing this for a living." Flipping through more pages.
"No, artists don't make much. Besides I already have my heart set on taking over my dad's part of the company some day. Now can I have it back." Bulma reached for it.
"Why?" 18 pulled it back.
"Fine. You can looked, just don't look at the pictures in the front."
"Oh." 18 grinned and flipped to the front, her smile frowned and looked up at Bulma in shock. "He posed for you?"
Bulma blushed. "No I drew them when he was asleep. I took some pictures too."
"Wow."
"The way the light hit him that morning and the shine of the sweat on his body, I couldn't help it." Bulma smiled as a shocked 18 handed the book back to her.
"It's a good thing you develop your own pictures." She got up and walked away.
A.N. I thought the title fit pretty good. Spring break is next week for me as well as my birthday. So my goal is to finish this fanfiction by my birthday. R&R Thanks everyone!
