6 The aftermath
Bulma awoke on Monday to the sound of an aggravating alarm clock. Bulma had spent the majority of her weekend at home studying and doing homework. After the party on Friday Bulma didn’t want to go out or take the chances of running into anyone. Chichi had tried calling her all weekend but Bulma didn’t know to say to her, how to explain herself. She didn’t know how to talk to Chichi about the conversation with Vegeta. Vegeta. Bulma’s mind began to wander back to him. Bulma was livid at what Goku had said to her. She was pretty sure that Vegeta was thinking that, that he had only one thing on his mind. Bulma didn’t know how to confront not only Vegeta but the rest of the people.
Bulma pulled herself out of bed to start her day. She headed towards her closet to just throw whatever on. She wasn’t about to go to school to try and impress anyone, she was done with that. After about 30 minutes of getting ready and dressed she headed downstairs to eat her breakfast and head out the door. She wasn’t looking forward to school but she figured she would just go and get it over with.
Bulma was driving slower than normal to school, this point she didn’t care if she was late or not. Her mind was still on the party, at the event that happened that night. ‘I am glad I became friends with Chichi and Krillin. The fact that I am not left alone in that place, but it seems that causes me more problems than I need. I just want to go and finish. I want to be done with school, go to college off far away from here, so then I would never have to deal with these people ever again.’ She pulled in the parking lot, noticing very full, so unfortunately she had to park towards the back.
While Bulma was walking up to the school she noticed Vegeta and Goku not that far from her, talking amongst themselves walking towards the school building. She slowed her walking pace a little to not be noticed but unfortunately unsuccessful. Vegeta glanced in her direction, getting glimpse of her aqua hair, the quick glance turned into a long gaze. Vegeta stopped for her to come closer to him and Goku. Bulma didn’t want to say anything to him, well she really didn’t know what to say. But most of all she just didn’t want to deal with the drama this early in the morning. Once he was closer in ear shot she glared at him, “I have nothing to say to you.” Bulma continued her path in the same direction but at a quicker speed.
Vegeta knew the prank that Marron had told him and Goku, what to do with Bulma and Chichi. He wasn’t so much doing it just to prank the 2 girls, but more so for the bet. Goku and himself had made a bet with Keisha and Marron. Vegeta and Marron had betted that Vegeta would get Bulma in bed before Goku with Chichi. Goku and Keisha had betted Goku would be the first. For Vegeta to be able to win this bet, which there was a thousand dollars on the line, he would have to lower his pride just a little but keep enough up to not look like he was becoming soft.
“Hey Woman, slow down.” Vegeta ran towards her leaving Goku to walk by himself to class. Goku was not about to mess any chances up for him. He already made it enough of a challenge for him. He looked over at the blue beauty and could see anger in her eyes, he could even feel it around her.
“I don’t care what you have to say. I already know what you are trying to pull. I already told you I am nothing like the rest of there girls at this school.” Bulma held her head high and continued her path to the school. She was not about to let this jerk make her late to class. She quickened her pace for him to maybe catch the hint she was done talking to him. “Woman, I wasn’t done talking so stop running.” Vegeta hollered after her, catching up with her. “I told you at the party that Kakarot was not the brightest and doesn’t know what he is talking about.”
Bulma had already heard this damn story and was in no mood to listen to it again. “Yea yea. I already heard all this. And how repulsive I look and can’t stand the sight of me. So let me ask you this question.” By then Bulma and Vegeta had stopped walking and were looking each dead in their eyes. “If I am so horrible to look at, then why are you right now looking at me, talking to me? Hmm…” Vegeta was stunned. He didn’t know how to respond to this. He just continued to stare, no more like beginning to glare at her. Vegeta would never let a woman talk to him the way she was right now. But if he wanted to win this bet, like he told himself before, he would have to lower his pride just a little. “Oh get over it.” Vegeta told her and walked towards Goku to hurry and get to class before the bell rang. Bulma on the other hand just stood where she stopped. ‘I can’t believe this guy. Why is he so difficult? I am not stupid, so why does he think I am?’ Bulma snapped out of her thought, realizing she needed to run to class if she was going to be on time.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Bulma walked into her sociology class, relieved that Chichi was in her class, but realized that she
needed to explain to her why she never answered her calls. She knew Chichi would more than likely demand why she never answered her call or even returned any of them. Bulma walked towards the back of the room where Chichi was sitting. Bulma set her books down and glanced over in Chichi’s direction. She didn’t even acknowledge her sitting there. She could feel Chichi was giving off an aggravated vibe.
“Hey Chichi.” Bulma thought to lighten the mood a little, she would have to start talking to Chichi. But all Chichi did was look over at her and then look straight ahead again. Bulma took a deep breath, “Look I am sorry I didn’t answer your calls or return them, but something happened at the party and I just didn’t feel like talking to anyone over the weekend. I hope you can forgive me, Chi.”
Chichi looked over at Bulma again, still a little hurt, but hearing the reason, Chichi gave in. “What happened Bulma? I didn’t hear anything, so I never knew. I am your friend and if you need anything or anyone to talk to, I am here.” Bulma nodded her head, agreeing with Chichi. “I know I know. At the time I didn’t want to talk to anyone. It had been hard for being my first day here. At the party when you and Juu were patching up your friendship, Vegeta came over and talked to me. Asking me how my first day of school was. Well I was telling him about it and Goku walks up asking Vegeta if I was another girl he was trying to get in bed with. I was furious. I went off on the both of them. Then Vegeta had the nerves to tell me I am ugly and repulsive to look at. So that was why I wanted to go home. This morning Vegeta caught up with me trying to talk to me but I put a stop to it. I am hoping today will be better.” Chichi was lost at words. Why in the world was Vegeta talking to Bulma, not saying anything on Bulma, but more on Vegeta’s end. The only reason Vegeta ever really talked to a girl was to only get her into bed. Chichi was not going to let that happen. “I am sure today will be a better day. I mean its brand new day, a brand new week”
The bell was about to ring in 3 minutes and Chichi was telling Bulma what she did over the weekend. How her and Juu got together and did a lot of catching up too. How Juu, Krillin and herself hung out together, knowing they didn’t have to hide anymore. That’s when Bulma and Chichi saw who walked in the door, joining their class: Vegeta, Goku, Marron and Keisha. Bulma rolled her eyes, “Oh what a great way to start the morning.”
Vegeta and Goku had led the group towards the back of the room but on the opposite end of where Chichi and Bulma was. Vegeta and Goku sat in the back row, with Keisha in front of Vegeta and Marron in front of Goku. The group had noticed that Bulma and Chichi was in the room, thinking this was a perfect way for the guys to get to know the 2 of them. So the plan would be in affect. Vegeta looked in Bulma direction, noticing Bulma was already glaring at him. ‘Great this might be harder than I thought.’ Goku on the other hand looked in Chichi direction giving her a wink. Goku put his attention back to his group. “So Vegeta how are things going on your end?” Goku asking Vegeta to get an idea where he is at. “Oh shut up, Kakarot. Thanks to your big mouth, the little wench hates my guts and wants nothing to do with me. She won’t even really talk to me other than the fact that she doesn’t want to talk to me. So from here on out, you keep your mouth shut to her that has anything to do with my reputation.” Goku couldn’t help but laugh, he tried nodding his head to agree he wouldn’t intrude anymore. Vegeta just hmphed at Goku and turn towards the front of the class, just as the bell rang.
The teacher walked in hushing the class. “Ok class, quiet down. My name is Mrs. Stock and I will be your sociology teacher for this semester. I am going to pass out the pretest to get an idea where you all are at.” She started passing them out, once finished the class worked on the pretest with silence. Bulma had breezed through the pretest with no problems, knowing she would ace this class with ease. She only took some of these classes for one reason because it was her first year here and she wanted to try and fit in. The second reason, she wanted an easy 4.0 GPA.
The class had finished the pretest in 20 minutes, the teacher was nice enough to let the class mingle, and get to catch up with their gossiping. “Hey Chichi,” Bulma said getting Chichi attention. “Goku keeps looking over here at you.” Chichi looked over in the direction of the jocks and cheerleaders, noticing indeed that Goku was glancing every so often in her direction. “Yea I see that. But I am not going to waste my time. Keisha has already changed him to someone that’s, well someone I wouldn’t want to be with. He has a reputation for sleeping around. I mean I wouldn’t mind dating him, but I know he would be dating me for only one thing.” Chichi has had a crush on Goku for years, and when she heard Keisha had cheated on him and that he was available, Chichi was ecstatic, knowing that she would need to give Goku time to heal his broken heart, then try to ask him out. But after a few months she noticed he started having a different girl on his arm every week. Chichi realized what Goku became, he became the very same person as Vegeta, and she blamed Vegeta for it. Chichi knew she lost her chance, she was not about to be another girl for Goku to take advantage. Even with all that, Chichi was second guessing herself. ‘Maybe I could give him a chance and set guidelines. I am sure I can change him back to the nice sweet Goku I knew and fell for.’
Bulma could tell Chichi was having a battle inside her mind. “Chi, is everything alright?” Chichi looked over at Bulma confused. “Yea I am alright. Just have a lot on my mind. I mean what if he does ask me out. I mean the signs are there. But I just don’t want to be used.” Bulma nodded her head listening to her dear friend. “Oh no. You need to stand up for yourself. Don’t let him take you over like that. I mean you want to date him, then date him. Obviously you have waited a long time. I mean here is your chance if he asks you out. Just stand your ground on the intimate part.”
“Yea you’re right. Well I guess we will just have to see where things will be going.” Chichi and Bulma just chatted for the remainder of the class till the bell had finally rang. “Hey Chichi what is your next class?” Chichi looked down at her schedule , “Study hall. What do you have next Bulma?” Bulma looking at her schedule a little bummed, “I have Business Management. Well I guess I wont be seeing you again till lunch.” Chichi and Bulma said their goodbyes, going their separate ways looking for their class.
Bulma was glad how the day was starting. She was relieved that Marron and her stupid friends left her alone, Bulma was in no mood for their crap today. She walked into her 2nd hour class, sitting towards the front. She figured that she wouldn’t have anyone in here that she would know, so decided to sit towards the front. She was getting her things out of her bag and saw Juu walk in to class. Bulma had never really talked to her after Juu and Chichi patched things up, so Bulma was curious how Juu would react towards her. Bulma watched Juu walk towards her way, sitting directly next to her. Bulma still face forwards minding her own business.
“Hi. Listen I would like to apologize how I treated you on Friday. To be honest I really wanted nothing to do with those 2 idiots, on how they were picking on you. I cant stand how they treat people who they don’t even know.” Juu wanted to make things right. She made things right between her and Chichi. She also wanted to be able to get along with Bulma, since she was Chichi’s new friend.
Bulma could tell she was being sincere, but Bulma didn’t want to completely forgive everything she did. She did make Bulma’s first day at school excruciating. “I understand, but it will take time for me to overcome this. I am sure we will be good friends once I get to know you.” This was a start for Juu.
Class had started and through class Juu and Bulma got to know each other a little better. When the bell rang for lunch the 2 new friends started walking together towards the lunch room, of course to be lucky enough to run into Keisha.
“Well, well, well. What do we have here. Now that we casted you out Juu, of course you would become friends with the biggest loser in school. What a perfect couple.” Keisha couldn’t hold her laughter inside anymore and she let it out. Bulma had nothing to say to her, so she just shook her head at her. Juu on the other hand was not about to be down talked by either of the girls. “Keisha, instead of making it a daily routine being a bitch to others, why don’t you go be a whore somewhere. I mean I know Vegeta has already grown tired of you, hence from his reaction towards you later that night. Oh wait then who will you go to. Oh dear what a shame.” Juu and Bulma by then were laughing hysterically at Keisha, turn to make their leave.
Bulma didn’t understand why Keisha had to say things she said, why she did the things she did. Bulma and Juu went to get something to eat and join Chichi and Krillin in the cafeteria. Gathering their lunch, walked in the cafeteria, gazing around, trying to find Krillin and Chichi. Once they were spotted, Juu and Bulma joined them at the table.
“So I see you two had a run in with the bitch.” Chichi said taking a bite of her salad. Juu took her seat between Krillin and Chichi, “Yea I put the little bitch in her place. I’m sorry, but I am not going to let them down talk me. They are no better than me. They will learn their damn lesson.” Juu had dealt with Marron and Keisha for years and it was time to put an end to their so called friendship. Around middle school was when Keisha and Marron became more snotty and stuck up. Juu never really wanted to stop being friends due to them having history, also when they were younger they were great friends. But it seemed when they matured, it seemed to have gotten worse.
Bulma decided to go back to the food market to get some water, Chichi joining her to keep her company, someone to walk with her. “So Bulma, do you think I should ask Goku out, with all the signs he’s been giving me all day or should I wait for him to come to me?” Bulma had thought about her questions, wondering how to answer it. She didn’t want to see Chichi hurt if she went into dating Goku. Bulma had a bad feeling that Goku would hurt her, then Bulma would need to be there for her friend. To watch tears fall down her face, to catch her when she fell from the aching. Bulma didn’t want to see Chichi go through that, let alone feel it.
“Umm… Well Chi I don’t want to see you get hurt. I mean like you were saying Goku might be after just one thing. I know you said you would be vigilant but still, I am afraid you would fall for him.” Chichi tried to hold her giggling in, “Oh I will be careful, Bulma. I am a strong girl. I can take care of myself, besides I have already fallen for him. I can’t go any deeper.” Bulma nodded at Chichi still worried for her friend. “Alright Chichi, but know that I am here for whenever you need me. I am just a phone call away, you remember that.” Chichi smiled to Bulma giving her a hug.
As Bulma and Chichi paid for their drinks, they noticed off on the other side of the food market was Vegeta and Goku talking amongst themselves, picking up more food. “Well Chi here is your chance then, if you want to talk to Goku.” The 2 girls started their way to the guys, on the way Chichi was trying to muster up as much courage as she could. She hasn’t really spoken to Goku in months almost a year or 2. Chichi didn’t even know what to say to him, but she needed to figure it out fast because she was almost standing in front of Goku and his best friend, Vegeta. “Hey guys, what going on?” Bulma figured she would be the first to talk since on the walk over to them she noticed Chichi was battling with herself on what to say. “Oh! Hey. Oh nothing getting more food, I am starving. The first portion of food just wasn’t enough.” Goku replied while filling his tray with mounds of food. Vegeta hmphed at Goku, “What are you talking about, you had enough food to feed an entire city. Is your stomach a bottomless pit?” Goku paid no attention still piling food on his tray. “Ugh you make me sick Kakarot. So I thought you were done talking to me, woman. I thought you weren’t going to talk to me anymore. Guess I was wrong, you just can’t get enough of me.” Vegeta smirked at Bulma. Bulma just rolled her eyes at his remark and turned her attention back to Goku and Chichi. Bulma noted that Chichi hadn’t said anything since they came over to talk to them. Bulma gave Chichi a little nudge to get her to say something, anything.
Chichi didn’t know what to say, still. She was lost for words. Words trying to come out, a sound, her voice trying to make audible, mouth trying to move, but still nothing. ‘Come on Chichi say something, like how are you, nice day today isn’t. Anything. Chichi gathered the last of her courage, “So Goku, long time no see, how have you been?” Goku grabbed the last of his food and turned to give his full attention to Chichi. “Oh hey Chi. I am doing good. Sorry we haven’t talked much after well… you know.” Chichi just smiled and nodded. “Well I need to pay for my food and finish eating before lunch if over. I am sure I will see you around.” Goku gave her one of his trademark smiles.
Chichi and Bulma said goodbye and headed back to their group of friends. Chichi face was so red from blushing she didn’t think she couldn’t hide it anymore. “Wow Chi, if you get any redder you might look like a cherry.” Bulma and Chichi laughed.
Author note: Yea I know it has been forever and I am sorry for that. I am not going to be someone and give an excuse which I know you don’t want to hear. Anyways here is the chapter. Hope you like it. Showing a build up between Goku and Chichi. I was also going to ask that I need a beta reader. If anyone out there is interested let me know. I will try to be more faithful in updating. Thanks again. Review Review Review! Please and thank you!

“Hi. Listen I would like to apologize how I treated you on Friday. To be honest I really wanted nothing to do with those 2 idiots, on how they were picking on you. I cant stand how they treat people who they don’t even know.” Juu wanted to make things right. She made things right between her and Chichi. She also wanted to be able to get along with Bulma, since she was Chichi’s new friend.
Bulma could tell she was being sincere, but Bulma didn’t want to completely forgive everything she did. She did make Bulma’s first day at school excruciating. “I understand, but it will take time for me to overcome this. I am sure we will be good friends once I get to know you.” This was a start for Juu.
Class had started and through class Juu and Bulma got to know each other a little better. When the bell rang for lunch the 2 new friends started walking together towards the lunch room, of course to be lucky enough to run into Keisha.
“Well, well, well. What do we have here. Now that we casted you out Juu, of course you would become friends with the biggest loser in school. What a perfect couple.” Keisha couldn’t hold her laughter inside anymore and she let it out. Bulma had nothing to say to her, so she just shook her head at her. Juu on the other hand was not about to be down talked by either of the girls. “Keisha, instead of making it a daily routine being a bitch to others, why don’t you go be a whore somewhere. I mean I know Vegeta has already grown tired of you, hence from his reaction towards you later that night. Oh wait then who will you go to. Oh dear what a shame.” Juu and Bulma by then were laughing hysterically at Keisha, turn to make their leave.
Bulma didn’t understand why Keisha had to say things she said, why she did the things she did. Bulma and Juu went to get something to eat and join Chichi and Krillin in the cafeteria. Gathering their lunch, walked in the cafeteria, gazing around, trying to find Krillin and Chichi. Once they were spotted, Juu and Bulma joined them at the table.
“So I see you two had a run in with the bitch.” Chichi said taking a bite of her salad. Juu took her seat between Krillin and Chichi, “Yea I put the little bitch in her place. I’m sorry, but I am not going to let them down talk me. They are no better than me. They will learn their damn lesson.” Juu had dealt with Marron and Keisha for years and it was time to put an end to their so called friendship. Around middle school was when Keisha and Marron became more snotty and stuck up. Juu never really wanted to stop being friends due to them having history, also when they were younger they were great friends. But it seemed when they matured, it seemed to have gotten worse.
Bulma decided to go back to the food market to get some water, Chichi joining her to keep her company, someone to walk with her. “So Bulma, do you think I should ask Goku out, with all the signs he’s been giving me all day or should I wait for him to come to me?” Bulma had thought about her questions, wondering how to answer it. She didn’t want to see Chichi hurt if she went into dating Goku. Bulma had a bad feeling that Goku would hurt her, then Bulma would need to be there for her friend. To watch tears fall down her face, to catch her when she fell from the aching. Bulma didn’t want to see Chichi go through that, let alone feel it.
“Umm… Well Chi I don’t want to see you get hurt. I mean like you were saying Goku might be after just one thing. I know you said you would be vigilant but still, I am afraid you would fall for him.” Chichi tried to hold her giggling in, “Oh I will be careful, Bulma. I am a strong girl. I can take care of myself, besides I have already fallen for him. I can’t go any deeper.” Bulma nodded at Chichi still worried for her friend. “Alright Chichi, but know that I am here for whenever you need me. I am just a phone call away, you remember that.” Chichi smiled to Bulma giving her a hug.
As Bulma and Chichi paid for their drinks, they noticed off on the other side of the food market was Vegeta and Goku talking amongst themselves, picking up more food. “Well Chi here is your chance then, if you want to talk to Goku.” The 2 girls started their way to the guys, on the way Chichi was trying to muster up as much courage as she could. She hasn’t really spoken to Goku in months almost a year or 2. Chichi didn’t even know what to say to him, but she needed to figure it out fast because she was almost standing in front of Goku and his best friend, Vegeta. “Hey guys, what going on?” Bulma figured she would be the first to talk since on the walk over to them she noticed Chichi was battling with herself on what to say. “Oh! Hey. Oh nothing getting more food, I am starving. The first portion of food just wasn’t enough.” Goku replied while filling his tray with mounds of food. Vegeta hmphed at Goku, “What are you talking about, you had enough food to feed an entire city. Is your stomach a bottomless pit?” Goku paid no attention still piling food on his tray. “Ugh you make me sick Kakarot. So I thought you were done talking to me, woman. I thought you weren’t going to talk to me anymore. Guess I was wrong, you just can’t get enough of me.” Vegeta smirked at Bulma. Bulma just rolled her eyes at his remark and turned her attention back to Goku and Chichi. Bulma noted that Chichi hadn’t said anything since they came over to talk to them. Bulma gave Chichi a little nudge to get her to say something, anything.
Chichi didn’t know what to say, still. She was lost for words. Words trying to come out, a sound, her voice trying to make audible, mouth trying to move, but still nothing. ‘Come on Chichi say something, like how are you, nice day today isn’t. Anything. Chichi gathered the last of her courage, “So Goku, long time no see, how have you been?” Goku grabbed the last of his food and turned to give his full attention to Chichi. “Oh hey Chi. I am doing good. Sorry we haven’t talked much after well… you know.” Chichi just smiled and nodded. “Well I need to pay for my food and finish eating before lunch if over. I am sure I will see you around.” Goku gave her one of his trademark smiles.
Chichi and Bulma said goodbye and headed back to their group of friends. Chichi face was so red from blushing she didn’t think she couldn’t hide it anymore. “Wow Chi, if you get any redder you might look like a cherry.” Bulma and Chichi laughed.
