The next day Tien and Bulma went out on a date. Yamcha followed them. "Are you sure about this?" Tien said. "I'm sure. Look at him, he's already dying of jealousy." Bulma said as he looked at Yamcha covering himself with the newspaper.
"Let's eat on that café. I heard their sandwiches tastes good." They went inside. "What do you want Tien?" "I'll just have some tea."
"C'mon, don't be shy." She turned to the waiter, "We'll have 1 black coffee, 1 hot tea and 3 sandwiches."
"Yes ma'am." The waiter said.
Few minutes later..."The sandwich really taste good. You're right Bulma." Tien said. "I told you it's good." They were going to pick the last sandwich but as they touched it, their hands also touched. A strange feeling came. They both blushed. "Uh, Bulma you can have the last piece." Tien said as he removed her hand from the sandwich. "That's okay, I'm' already full. You can have the last piece." Bulma said as she moved the plate towards her. "How about we share it? 'Cuts it into two' You take this half and I'll take this one." She took her part of the sandwich and ate it.
Her thoughts wandered around Tien's eyes. ' I never knew Tien is so kind and so caring. I always thought of him to be so serious and self-centered like the other men. By the looks of it, he seems pretty cute.' She thought. "Are you alright Bulma? Bulma..." Tien said to Bulma.
"Huh? Oh, I mean, I'm fine. So where are we going next?"
"Let's just say it's a surprise."
"Are we there yet?" Bulma said excitedly. Her eyes were blindfolded. "We're almost there." Tien said to Bulma. "Here we are. 'Removes the blindfold' I know you've seen better than this but I can't think of any place."
"It's so beautiful. I've never seen anything like it." Bulma gazed into the beautiful lake. "Let's go."
"In the water? I can't."
"Why?"
"It's because... because, I... um... don't want my hair to get wet."
"Bulma, no offense, but you are such an awful liar. Now tell me why don't you want to go there?"
"Well, it because I can't swim." Her face turned red feeling embarrassed. Tien puts his hand to her shoulder and said, "What ever happens, I won't let you drown or get hurt." This made her feel more secure.
They rode into a boat. They went fishing. Their happiness made even Yamcha more angry. "They're going to have fun alright." He said to himself. He flew up until it was so up high he will be notice by anyone. "KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAAAA!"
It hit the boat. Tien flew but Bulma was drowning. "Tien, help me." Tien went back to the lake. "Bulma! Bulma! Where are you?" Tien yelled. He went under the lake and saw her unconscious. He carried her and went to the nearest shore. "Bulma, speak to me. Please wake up." Tien cried.
Bulma slowly opened her eyes. "What happened?" "Bulma, you're awake. Thank goodness." She hugs him. "Thanks, Tien. I owe you my life." "I did this because I...I..."
"You what?"
"It's because you're my friend and besides I made a promise, remember."
"You know even in pretending, you make a swell boyfriend."
Meanwhile, Yamcha hid in the bushes and was even angrier to see the two happy together. "Why do my plans never work?"
