Not Your Average Lifestyle Anymore
Part 3: Missing you
*Two months later*
Bulma sat in her living room staring out the window at the sky. Bulma let out a low sigh as she placed a hand to her neck where the bit mark was. It had been at least two months, and there was no sign of Goku.
"Goku..." Bulma sighed as she continued to stair out the window.
"Vegeta!" Chi chi hollered as the front door shut. Bulma looked over to the entrance to the living room to find Vegeta walking in.
"How did I know you would be there?" Vegeta asked himself as he walked over to her. Bulma just looked away.
"I'm so sorry Bulma," Chi chi said as she walked in, "Some people just need some manners that's all."
"That's OK Chi chi," Bulma said, not even giving her a glance.
"Gosh Bulma you know I think you need a vacation or something, I don't know who this Goku guy is yet, but if he's got you looking out the window every day I'd say he's something," Chi chi said as she walked over to Bulma, "You know sometimes I just think you're making it all up."
"Goku's real!" Bulma snapped.
"Only joking Bulma," Chi chi said as she back away, "I know what you need, a nice cup of hot coco." Chi chi then walked off into the kitchen leaving Bulma and Vegeta in the living room.
"He'll come back, don't worry so much," Vegeta griped as he looked down at Bulma.
"I know."
"Then relax a little," Bulma smiled.
"I never would have thought you would say that. Chi chi trained you well," Vegeta only snorted.
"The woman hasn't done anything to me... by the way, where is that damn gravity machine you promised me?"
"I haven't stared on it yet," Bulma said as she looked back out the window, "I just finished the Namek's ship two days ago, give me a break."
"Whatever. You're just lazy that's all."
"I am not! I worked days and nights on that ship; I even went three days without sleeping. Building a ship from scratch is hard work, so don't you ever call me lazy!"
"Vegeta!" Chi chi yelled as she ran into the room, "I told you to leave Bulma alone, she has it hard enough!"
"That's OK Chi. I know you're only saving him from loosing to me in a verbal fight. You don't need to use me for an excuse."
"Whatever." Vegeta snorted, "You wouldn't last a minute against me."
"You want a bet!"
"Calm down you two! Five minutes and you're already bickering. I knew I shouldn't have brought you here. I swear you're just like a child!"
"Get used to it Chi, in seven more months you'll get another, so keep on practicing." Bulma smiled as she patted Chi chi's belly. Chi chi turned a bright red.
"I've got to go get the coco." Chi chi then walked out other the room rather fast. Bulma sighed as she looked out the window once again.
"When do you think he'll come?" Bulma asked.
"I'm sure he's coming as we speak," Vegeta said.
"I hope so," Bulma said. ~That stupid baka, how could he use the last wish on the Dragonballs to send everyone off of Namek to here. He should have let me stay and fight Frieza, at least that way the pathetic woman wouldn't be looking out the window every damn day.~ Vegeta said to himself as he closed his eyes, ~But then again I might have never meet that mate of mine, and I would have never been able to become a father. If I train him right I'm sure I could get him to kick some serious ass on this weak planet... but what if it's a girl... I doubt the woman would let me train her.~
"You ok Vegeta?" Bulma asked. Vegeta looked down at her and smirked.
"Of course I am," Vegeta said as he looked up at the door to see Chi chi coming in.
"Here you go Bulma," Chi chi said as she handed Bulma a cup.
"Thanks Chi chi," Bulma said with a smile.
"So, this Goku guy, what's he like?"
"Oh please woman, don't get her into this. She wont shut up," Vegeta grumbled as he sat down on the couch next to Chi chi, "Besides, she's told you before, you don't need to hear it again."
"I'm just trying to start up a conversation."
"And that's all you could think of?"
"Don't make me hurt you!"
"I'd like to see you try," Vegeta mumbled.
"I hear that!" Chi chi yelled, Bulma smiled and lightly giggled as she watched the two, "Wow! That's a smile I haven't seen in a long time."
"Yeah, I know," Bulma said just as the doorbell rang, "Be right back." Bulma got up and walked out in the hall and opened the door to find an all to familiar face.
"Hey there Bulma! What's up?" Yamcha asked with a smile.
"Is it really you Yamcha? Gosh how long has it been... about two full months hasn't it. Why haven't you visited me? To busy to stop by and say hi," Bulma spat as she glared at him.
"Chill Bulma, a simple hi would service," Yamcha said as he backed up.
"Come on in, I was just talking to Chi chi," Bulma said as she let Yamcha in.
"So how have you been lately?" Yamcha asked.
"Bored, depressed, you wouldn't know that now would you," Bulma spat as she walked past him and into the living room to sit down.
"Well, why don't you just bite my head off while you're at it," Yamcha spat as he fallowed her.
"Hi Yamcha," Chi chi said with a smile.
"Hey Chi chi, um hi Vegeta," Yamcha said as he sat down on the other side of the room. Chi chi elbowed Vegeta in the side causing him to grunt.
"Yeah... hi," Vegeta said.
"So how have you been?" Bulma asked.
"Fine," Yamcha said.
"Is Krillin still training you?" Chi chi asked.
"Yeah, kinda. I've been busy lately so I haven't been able to train," Yamcha said.
"Busy... as in watching a football game?" Bulma asked.
"No! I play baseball now for a job, plus I have... um..." Yamcha trailed off.
"A girlfriend?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah," Yamcha said as he blushed a little.
"Who?" Chi chi asked.
"Marron," Yamcha said. Bulma and Chi chi exchanged glances for a moment then looked back at Yamcha.
"Marron... as in... um" Bulma paused for a moment, looking for the right words.
"That airhead slut that looks like Bulma!" Chi chi finished.
"Well... I was going to try and find a nicer word, but that'll do... wait... she does not look like me!" Bulma yelled.
"Well she has blue hair," Chi chi said as Bulma glared at her.
"She's not like that anymore," Yamcha said.
"Yeah right!" Bulma said.
"Once a slut, always a slut," Chi chi said.
"She's not a slut... although I don't know about the airhead part, but she's not a slut!" Yamcha said as both women stared to laugh, "What's so funny?"
"She's an airhead Yamcha, anyone can tell you that," Bulma laughed.
"The girl doesn't know a single thing. No I take that back, when it comes to beauty products she knows everything," Chi chi said, "I'm never letting any of my children get as stupid as her. I'd kill myself if I did."
"But I thought Krillin was going out with her?" Bulma asked.
"No, Krillin broke up with her. He said she wasn't he's type," Yamcha said.
"So does that mean she's yours?" Chi chi asked.
"Um... So how have you been Chi?" Yamcha asked, trying to get off the subject.
"Oh just fine. Very nice of you to ask, but you're not getting off that easy."
"Yeah Yamcha, give us the scoop. How did you and her hook up?" Bulma asked.
"No!"
"Please." Both women begged.
"No!"
"Give us a hint?" Bulma asked.
"Was she a cheerleader at one of your baseball games... wait... do baseball games have cheerleader?" Chi chi asked. Bulma only shrugged her shoulders. Nether of them watched sports, so how were they supposed to know.
"Come on woman," Vegeta said, standing up, "I'm tiered of lessening to gossip."
"Can you just wait until he spills and tells us how they met?" Chi chi asked Vegeta only let out a low growl, "Well I guess we're going. Bye Bulma. Bye Yamcha." Chi chi then fallowed Vegeta out of Capsule Corp.
"Bye Chi!" Bulma called out.
"So... where's this Goku guy?" Yamcha asked.
"He's coming," Bulma said.
"Are you sure, it's been two months you know. Maybe he forgot, people do that you know," Yamcha said.
"Goku would never forget! He's coming, he told me to wait for him, and I will," Bulma spat as she looked out the window, "Is that the only reason you came? To just rub it in my face."
"Maybe. I don't know, I could just be jealous that some other guy took you away from me," Yamcha said, "I haven't even seen this guy and you brook our engagement for him."
"You where dead at the time Yamcha, I had no one else but him. I'm sorry but, I... I love him Yamcha, plus I think we where just going down hill anyway. What happened between you and me was for the best," Bulma said as she looked out the window, "Now you and Marron... I never saw that coming."
"Shut up Bulma!" Yamcha said, receiving a slight giggle from Bulma.
"I just never thought you of all people would go out with her, I mean come on, you went from gorgeous scientist to airhead... bimbo," Bulma said with a smile.
"Bulma, she looks just like you," Yamcha said.
"She does not! I see 'no' resemblance what so ever between me and her!" Bulma said as she glared at him.
"Well she does have the blue hair and eyes like you," Yamcha said.
"So what you're saying is you went for a less beautiful, and less smarter form of me," Bulma said, "How sweet."
"No I didn't!"
"I didn't know you cared."
"Look I have to go, see you later Bulma," Yamcha said as he got up and stared to walk out.
"Bye Yamcha, next time come back before the next decade."
"I will... about a day before," Yamcha said with a smirk.
"OK, as long as it's not a decade," Bulma said as she heard the door shut. Bulma's smile quickly faded into a frown as she looked back out the window. She was all alone yet again, to ponder about Goku and when he might return to her. ~Boy I must seem pathetic just sitting here like this looking out the window every day in hopes I might see Goku flying back to me. Sounds like something that would come out of one of my mom's trashy romance novels. I really need to do something to get him off of my mind for a while.~ Bulma sighed as she looked away from the window. ~I know, I'll start on Vegeta's gravity machine, that will keep me really busy,~ Bulma smiled as she hopped out of her chair and walked off to her lab, deep within the corridors of Capsule Corp.
