Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Any Woman, Anytime, Anywhere... ❯ Chapter one/prologue ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: I, xangeliz91487x, do not, nor will I ever own Dragonball Z/GT, or any of it's characters. *sobs pitifully in disappointment*

AN: So, basically, I'm coming up with this fic of B/V and the rest of their "gang" in college.

Prologue:

Bulma: She now has shoulder-length hair with bangs. She goes to Western University, the best college in all of their little 'clique'. She works part time for Capsule Corporation, her current major is psychology, because she already managed to get Master's Degrees in: physics, mathematics, engineering, biology, chemistry, architecture, AND liberal.

Vegeta: Being no dumbass himself, also attends Western University along with Bulma. Now, in this fic, they got together, somewhat, in high school, but they didn't get serious, in fact they broke up (it was a mutual agreement, because at the time, Vegeta was going to go to America to study, then his finances fell through). Now they find out that they're at the same college, but the 'flame' has gone out…Vegeta currently has a double major of technology and engineering. The two are both currently juniors. Vegeta works part-time at a local gym, as a weight trainer/bodybuilder… (lol ^__^)

Goku (aka Kakarot): Goku attends Orange Star Community College. (sry, but I just don't think that Goku is really all that smart, he does tend to project that image, ne?). He is going for a bachelor's in liberal arts. He teaches karate part-time.

ChiChi: ChiChi, wanting to stay close to Goku (and also just not quite making the grades), also attended Orange Star Community College. She and Son-kun live in a small apartment off-campus. She is majoring in culinary arts, and working as a chef at a local hotel.

Krillin: The tiny little guy, has decided to go to Mariner's College. The standards aren't quite as high as Western University's, but it isn't a bad school in itself. He is majoring in liberal arts, also. And, like Goku, teaches karate at the local YMCA.

18: Juuhachiagou has decided to attend Mariner's College along with Krillin. Her major is biotechnology, and she works part-time at the local department store: Tres Belle. 18 is not an android in this fic, her lucky number is 18. For as long as she and her little group can remember, she has been 18 in everything. Out of all the grandchildren in her family, she's #18. Her lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, and soceer number was always 18. The way her name was set up, she was ALWAYS #18 in class (remember in elementary school, you would be assigned a number…). So, people would refer to her as 18, or Juu.

Basically, it's just their little get-together, and what happens when a friendly conversation gets a little bit out of hand *whistles innocently while bouncing on the balls of her feet*. For the note, Goku and ChiChi are the only ones that actually live together. Bulma has a dormitory, but often stays at home. All three colleges are within the sector's boundaries (sectors meaning something similar to counties, or provinces). So, Bulma, Vegeta, ChiChi, Goku, Krillin, and 18 see each other pretty often. Goku's name, like many other B/V high school fics, is really Kakarot Goku Son, but he changed it in high school, and now only Vegeta and his older brother (Radditz) refer to him as Kakarot. Vegeta and Goku are NOT Saiyans in this fic, they, along with Krillin, are martial arts experts, and exceptionally strong, and can do low-level energy attacks, but nowhere near the level as high as you see in DBZ. With all the intro's said, and done, onto chapter one!

Chapter One

"Tris! I'm grabbing my lunch break now!" 18 called out to the store manager.

"All right," she answered. And Juu smiled at her group of friends, as they left the department store, but not without Marron grabbing a little something.

"Marrron, you've got to stop shoplifting," Bulma sighed.

"Oh for god's sake, B," she said, exasperated, by getting this lecture every time they went into a store. "Not everyone can afford everything like you, we, mere mortals actually have to work for a living. We can't all bum off Mommy and Daddy."

"Whatever," Bulma said, rolling her eyes.

"Just chill, you two." 18 said. "Where's Chi?" spotting the missing raven-haired maiden.

"Oh, she had to work some more at the Madison. Some girl called in with a bad case of allergies, and couldn't make it. But Chi promises to make it on Friday when we meet up at Planet X."

"Cool, so where're we goin' for lunch today, huh?" 18 asked, her stomach grumbling, adding emphasis to her words. Bulma and Marron both giggled.

"Oh!" Marron cried, glancing at her watch. "I'm so sorry about this, but I can't stay! I've got to get to work!" Marron was a waitress at 'Round the Clock diner. "I switched shifts with this girl last week, I'm sorry, but I'll call you guys later!" and Marron rushed off. Bulma and Juu exchanged a look of relief. As nice as she was, Marron did have a certain insensitivity to her, and sometimes she could also be a downright bitch. (AN: Marron isn't that major of a character in this fic, but she will come up; as with 17.)

"Lunch?" 18 reminded Bulma.

"Oh, right," the blue-haired girl said, blushing slightly. "There's this little bistro that I discovered last week, it's really quite quaint, and yummy!"

"What're we standing around, waiting for? Let's go!" 18 cried. Bulma giggled, and they left the mall, and walked over to her stunning silver Mercedes convertible. They both hopped in and sped away.

**********

"Hey Goku!" Krillin said, walking into the now-empty karate room at the 'Y'.

"Krillin, what's up?" Goku greeted.

"Nothing, you wanna spar?"

"Yeah, but hold up, Vegeta's gonna come down here soon too!" As if on cue, Vegeta strolled into the room, putting some training tape onto his hands, and to spite them, pulled out the first aid kit. Krillin shook his head in amusement, and Goku just blinked.

"Let's spar." Vegeta grunted, and the three guys began their furious kata. After about an hour or so, Goku's watch started beeping.

"Oh, damn!" Goku said, running over. "Sorry you guys, we're gonna have to cut this short. I promised I'd meet ChiChi tonight for dinner."

"You are a poor excuse for a warrior, Kakarot," Vegeta growled. "Having a weak, pathetic female rule over you like that."

"Shut up, Vegeta. I really love Chi, and besides, who said I wanted to be a warrior? Karate is self-defense, ya know."

"Whatever."

"Don't worry about it, Goku. Vegeta's just jealous cause he can't get a girl." Krillin snorted. Vegeta's eyebrows raised at that comment, but they instantly narrowed down, and his face took on the most menacing scowl yet.

"Don't be so confident, shorty."

"Even I have a girl!" Krillin continued, not noticing the initial threat. That was the last straw! Vegeta lunged at Krillin, knocking the poor guy to his feet and started strangling him.

"Yo! Vegeta! Get off him," Goku yelled, forcibly pulling him off of Krillin. Krillin scrambled away, massaging his throat.

"Well, I'm right," he said obnoxiously, still not backing down.

"Yeah right," Vegeta snorted. "I can get any woman, anytime, anywhere."

"Really?" Goku and Krillin said simultaneously, then almost as if they were one entity, broke into identical, calculating grins.

"Okay," Goku said, forgetting (for the moment) about his prior engagement with his girlfriend. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?"

"Really?" Vegeta said, interested by the challenge. "How?"

"Well…" Krillin began. "You said you could get any woman, anytime, anywhere, right?" Vegeta nodded. "Okay, let's see…how about Bulma?" he asked Goku. Goku smiled and nodded in encouragement.

"Yup," Goku added. "Bulma's good."

"What are you talking about?" Vegeta demanded.

Krilln turned back to him. "Okay, Vegeta, since you're so confident in your 'abilities', we'll give you a week. Let's see if you can get Bulma under your power. And how about…oh say…100 zeni at stake, huh? If you can manage to get it on with Bulma in one week or less, than Goku and I will each pay you 100 zeni. If not, you pay each of us a hundred. Aight?"

"I've already had the woman!" Vegeta growled, not seeing the point.

"Ah, yes, Vegeta." Goku tsked. "That's the point. You said you could get any girl, anytime, anywhere, right?" Vegeta nodded. "Yeah, but an ex? Prove it. One week." The his cellphone went off.

"Hello?…oh, hi Chi. Sorry, I got caught up with the guys…I'm sorry, I'll be there in a minute…yes darling…no, I didn't forget…bye…love you too." And Goku hung up. "And one more term of agreement. No telling the girls, okay? We can't let them know. In other words, it has to be completely neutral. Agreed?" he asked, putting a fist in the middle of the little circle they had formed. Krillin put his palm on top, and after a moment of indecision, Vegeta smirked, and placed his palm on the top of his.

"Prepare to lose…" he sneered, grabbed his bag and stalked out of the room.
