"The Right One" By Annachan Chapter Three "Bulma!!" "Hi, Namui..." "You look exhausted..." "I didn't sleep much last night..." "Thinking?" "No, I went on a date..." "Great, who is the guy?" "It's..." "Ah! So here is our dear Bulma..." "Wada... you're tiring..." "I am? Okay!" He whistled. "Ladies and gentlemen, listen: Bulma Briefs, the most popular girl here, is in fact a perfect slut!!" "Hey, how dare you..." "She had sex with a dirty guy that even doesn't love her!!" Wada proudly said. "I can't believe that!" a girl said. "I didn't see her that way..." a guy added. "I haven't done that...!!" she protested. "Would you wanna know who is the lucky guy?" "YES!!" the students scolded. "The little new boy: VEGETA!!" "OHHHH?!" the crowd scolded again. It was the moment Vegeta chose to enter the classroom. Everybody was staring at him. "What are you fucking stupid people gazing at?!" "You know what, you're a jerk!!" two girls exclaimed. "Pervert! How could you do that?" He only raised his eyebrows in disdain and sat down. "Bulma, is it true?" Namui asked. "Oh, no, not you too Namui..." "Just answer..." "No, I didn't sleep with him! Wada only wants to hurt me..." "Yes, I see... but why did he chose Vegeta?" "Er, it's because he found us together at the fair yesterday..." "Us? Are you dating him??" "NO!! No, he is only a friend, and you know that!!" "Then who is the guy you went out with last night?" "Alfonzo: he is Spanish, dark-brown hair, brown eyes, and average height. I met him there. And we won the couples' ultimate race!! Then he invited me for a dinner... that was great!! We danced till ten PM; I was tired when I came back home." "I thought you didn't like Spain and Spanish??" "I changed my mind, that's all!!" "Hum..." As the school ended, Namui and Bulma went to each other side. "I'm gonna wait for Ryunan; his class will finish the next hour..." "Okay! Bye, Namui!!" Bulma oversaw Vegeta in the court. "Hey, Veggie!!" He stopped and sighed. "What now, girl?" "I just think we could walk a little..." "Hm..." As they were walking, some students turned to gaze at them, muttering words under their breath. One girl came to them. "Slut!!" she jerked out in Bulma's face. "Whoa!!" she exclaimed. "News does run fast here..." "News?" Vegeta asked. "Well, nothing important." "It must be important if she insults you that way..." "Er... it's a stupid thing Wada told the whole class today, of you and me having slept together..." "Hmm?" He raised an eyebrow. "Does it bother you? I will understand if you don't want me to be your friend anymore..." "I..." He felt a quiver passing through his whole body as he thought of what she said. If I don't want to be your friend? Well, I would die if I weren't... "I don't mind what this brainless dodo said..." he snapped. "Oh, really? That's great!!" "....." "You don't wanna know how it was last night?" "I don't wanna know..." "I'll tell you, even if you don't want..." Heartless girl... he thought. "We went to this restaurant. After eating, he invited me to dance, and we did for a long, long time..." I didn't see time passing and bla bla bla... Vegeta mimicked in his mind. "He drove me home, he kissed me then... he is soooo romantic!!" she cheered. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. He'd better pray I don't find him, or I'll... He clenched his fist. "Veggie, you there?" "What?" "You seemed absorbed..." "I wasn't..." "You're so weird sometimes..." "Then leave me alone!!" He walked away. "Huh? What did I do?" she asked herself, keeping walking in another direction. Two weeks after that, Namui and Bulma were at school again, half-asleep. "This class is boring me..." "Me too..." Namui admitted. "I hate Spanish..." "I thought you changed your mind..." "That was before Alfonzo was compelled to return to Spain..." "What? He dumped you?" "No, but his parents who live there wanted him to come back." "Those Latinos are so weird..." "You don't say..." "You're alone again?" "Yes, alone..." "Bulma, you'll find someone..." "I hope I will..." She turned to the window. "Great, it's raining..." she sarcastically said. "Oh, yes..." DRRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGGG!! "Hey, Namui, wait!!" "Sorry, but I must hurry; I hafta change my clothes before going out with Ryunan!!" "See you on Monday, then!!" "Yes, bye!" Namui ran out. She sighed and took her bag, walking slowly. The rain began wetting her head as she went out. Too bad I didn't watch the meter yesterday... She walked a little faster, then she heard steps behind her. "Oh, it's you..." "Of course it's me!! Damn rain..." "Yeah, I'm all wet!!" she said, rubbing her arms. "Take this if you're so cold..." He held her his coat. "Oh, thanks, Veggie..." She put it on. They continued walking and suddenly the rain stopped. "What about going to the park?" Is she inviting me?? he hopefully imagined. "Hum..." They walked without talking, coming closer and closer to each other. When their hands touched, they froze and put some distance between them. What's wrong? It has always been like this between us, then why am I so tense? Bulma thought. Their hands touched again, but this time, Bulma caught his in hers and looked at him. He did nothing, he didn't even complained about how she was acting. Then she stared at him intensely. Expressionless face, strong neck, spiky hair... she enumerated in her head. Her eyes fell down on his chest. "Wahh! You're really strong-built..." "And what?" he snapped, hiding a blush that came on his cheeks. "Er... nothing!" It was her turn to feel embarrassed. He is cute... Namui was right! I didn't see him in this way... She gazed at his face again. What are you thinking of?? Vegeta was bewildered from what she told him. Why is she staring at me like that? And holding my hand? Let it go, let it go! "Bulma... I need to tell you something..." "Yes, Vegeta?" "You should sit down before..." They sat on the grass facing each other. "Yes?" "I..." "You??" "I'm not like you..." "You don't like me?!" "No, I didn't say that. I mean, I'm an alien..." "Oh, that is funny, Vegeta..." she laughed. "I'm serious..." "Whatever..." "That was my secret. You want some proof? Look..." He made a small ki ball in his hand. "What is that golden thing?" "It's my energy... then look at that small tree." Bulma looked at it and a second later it was burning, making those who were around shrieking. "Aow! How did you do that??" "It's called a ki ball, this is a very small attack..." "Attack? You're kidding." "Well, I'm not!" "You're telling me you are an alien?" Bulma was dumbfounded. "Yes... I can fly..." he levitated slowly, "and I can move faster than light." He began moving around her with an extreme speed. "Okay, stop it!! I believe you!!" "Good, you can leave if you want now..." "Veggie, you know I'll never leave you..." "Why not?" "Because... because I... I... I think I like you..." Oh, NO!! Not that!! he screamed in his mind. "I thought you were with that Alfonzo..." "Yes, but it's ended now, he is in Spain..." "Huh?" "Do you think..." she took his hands, "you feel the same??" She came closer. "Well, I..." "You...?" She approached, her nose almost touching his. "...Erh..." She came closer again to kiss him, but he turned his head. "I... I can't do that!!" He pulled away. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tried to kiss you..." she sobbed. "Excuse me..." "Bulma, it isn't your fault..." "Then why? Do you hate me so much?!" "No... I..." he stuttered. I can't say that... and I won't say that... "Goodbye, Vegeta..." She turned, crying, and walked away. Shit!! I'm such a dumb asshole!! But, it wasn't supposed to be like this. We are friends... Friends... And even if I love her - which can't be true - I couldn't tell her, it will be like I'm trying to push her to her certain loss... Bulma was laying on her bed, eyes closed, thinking of what happened. She had surprised herself to tell Vegeta she kinda liked him, but unfortunately he didn't like her. That was why she was so sad. Then the memory of their first meeting came to her mind: she remembered how he had been startled when she had abused him. She remembered all their fights, how they became friends... and how she realized her feelings for him... Stop it, Bulma, you're only torturing yourself...!! You'll find someone else... She paused. But he is so different, he isn't like the other guys that I've been out with... No, remember, he is an alien, it could never work between you two... Then, many minutes later, she felt asleep. The morning, when she woke up, she found a figure next to her window. Am I dreaming? she thought unbelievingly, then frowned. "What are you doing here?!" she jerked out. "I needed to talk..." "Yeah, you still think that I'm your friend..." "No... you're wrong." "Then, find someone else to talk with!" she snapped, outraged. "I... I have no one else, I have no friends..." Ha! Now he wants me to feel sorry for his plight!! No way it's going to work... "There has always been many crazy girls who want you; you can find one!!" "Don't say that, you know that the one I..." He stopped. "The one you what?" "Nothing... it was a bad idea to come here..." He went to the window to take off. "Vegeta, I know you're hiding something from me, what is it?!" She stood up and went to him. "What is it?" He lowered his head to hide his distress. "Vegeta, you can tell me..." "Okay, I'll tell you: I'm a Saiyan, another people in the galaxy. I couldn't tell you what happened when I was there, it's a long story, but I need to warn you about something, before you regret your acting with me..." "About what?" "We Saiyans make a special bond with our partner, a very strong bond..." "I don't see what's wrong with that." "Well, it's also very dangerous." He took her hands. "Bulma, you should be aware of the fact that if we bond, you will have to deal with my feelings, emotions and sensations. That means if I'm wounded, you'll feel the pain I'm enduring, If I'm sad, you'll feel my sadness and if I die..." "What? I'll die too?" He nodded. "Well, I'd prefer to die than live without you..." Vegeta's eyes widened. "You don't think about what you're saying..." "I mean what I said: it's a good thing, that bond, so we'll never be parted..." she smiled. "I didn't think you were that stupid!!" he snapped, half-smiling. "Hum, it's perhaps because I like you..." "Hmph..." "Vegeta, you never say what you feel for me, tell me..." "I... I've felt for you since the first time..." "What, when we first argued?" "Yes..." "You've loved me all this time?? Even when I was with Alfonzo?!" she asked, bewildered. He nodded. "Oh, you know you're cute!!" she exclaimed, hugging him. "Ah..." He didn't know what to do, so he decided to hug her too. "I love you..." She kissed him. Waah... what am I doing with this girl!! he thought, but his instinct told him to kiss back, what he did. He is a really good kisser, better than those assholes I've dated... "Hum?" He pulled away. "Vegeta, what is..." "Someone is coming!!" He cut her off. "How do you know?" "Good hearing..." He jumped out by the window. "Vegeta, no!!" she shouted. "Bulma, dear..." Mrs. Briefs called. "What are you doing?" "Nothing, Mum..." she smiled. "I heard you calling Vegeta; is he here?" "No! Mum, who do you think I am?" Bulma lied with a fake offended tone. "Oh, excuse me... breakfast is ready..." she said, then left. Vegeta showed up at the window. "Why did you shout my damn name?!" "You jerk! I'm not used to your flying ability, I thought you would kill yourself!!" "Why do you care?" "Hey, I'll die too if you did, remember..." "Humph... silly ugly thing..." "I guess that means: smart and beautiful girl..." she translated. How can this air-headed girl read my mind?? he thought, sweatdropping "What's wrong? Couldn't fool me anymore, Veggie darling??!" she mocked. "Shuddup, you talk too much..." "Hey! I'm not your thing, I could throw you out the window if I wan..." She was cut off by a sudden grip on her waist. "What are you doing?" He didn't reply and took off out the window. "Ahhh!! Lemme go!!" she shouted. "Shut your damn mouth, I'm not going to let you fall!!" "...Ah, okay..." She encircled his chest with her arms to reassure herself. "Thank you..." "Mmm..." Bulma smiled to herself, realizing that having an alien as a boyfriend has its own advantages... THE END -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whoo whoo!! Hehe, it was different, wasn't it? I know, it's a very odd thing to write how Bulma and Vegeta met when they were teenagers!! Ooh... they are just so alike! ^^ I like 'em... Ahem...
