Author's Notes: Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out, I got EXREMELY lazy.... ::sigh:: :P I am glad that so many people liked the fic! I got so many reviews, and like... 6 new people joined my Mailing List! >.< THANK YOU!!! Now, someone reviewed who was a bit confused on what time this is taking place. Now, if it were taking place during the three years, as the reviewer (NariRyo) had pointed out, they wouldn't have known about the Room of Spirit and Time because it wasn't discovered by the Z fighters until after the Androids came. If it happened after, Trunks would have already been born, and blah blah blah. Now, as I should have mentioned in the Prologue, this is rather much of an A/U (obviously for the story), but the big thing is it doesn't follow the story line like... at all. In this story, there was no boy from the future, no androids, no cell, and everyone had already known about the Room. I hope that doesn't make the time line all boring n shit... :P Anyway, I hope that clears everything up! :D Now enjoy the chapter! ^-^

"Oh shit..." the both muttered. They stared at each other for a while, blankly. Then Bulma's eyes slowly widened as the true reality of what was happening registered in her mind.

"NOOO!!" she cried, racing for the door. "No no no!!" she yelled, pounding on the door with all of her might. "Chichi!! Get me out of here!" Her mind went cloudy as her eyes started to well up with tears and she slowly slid down the door and curled up into a ball. Vegeta just watched, a bit confused at her actions.

"Calm down, woman," he stated calmly, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Calm?? Calm! I can't be calm when I know I'm going to be stuck in a room with YOU for a year??" she cried, sitting up and bringing her knees to her chest. "How can YOU be calm?? ... You planned this, didn't you? Just another way to make my life a living hell!"

"Woman, everything is NOT all about you. You think I wanted this? Hah, in your dreams," he retorted, snorting at the thought. Bulma just sniffed. No, he would never put himself through hell to make her life hell. She knew she made his life hell, too. They did that to each other for the fun of it. But could she survive a year of it? True, she already had, but... alone with him? With no Chichi to console her or no Goku to talk to? She didn't know if she could make it.

She sighed and stood up, defeated. "I'm going to my room..." she sniffled, walking-defeated-to the nearest room, her feet dragging behind her. Vegeta just watched her, glad that she hadn't chosen the one that he considered "his" room. Just before she shut the door, she stuck her head out and yelled, "And leave me alone and shut up!"

~*~*~*~*~*~

Slam! Slam! Slam! Bulma's bed shook, waking her up from her not-so-peaceful slumber. She sat straight up and rubbed her eyes, grumbling with annoyance. She stood up and stomped over to the big open spot that led out to the endless white land to see Vegeta punching the air around him, side to side, up and down. The downward punches weren't actually hitting the ground, but the sheer pressure of them were creating indents in the ground, along with the entire compound to shudder.

"VEGETA WOULD YOU STOP THAT AND GO TO BED FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!" Bulma screamed, her fists shaking at her sides. Vegeta stopped and looked up at her, scoffing.

"Go to hell, woman," he stated simply. Bulma's fists shook even more with rage and she opened up her right hand next to her side, palm out. (Sorry RM, but it's gonna be a "Bulma has power" fic.)

"Damnit Vegeta..." she seethed, dangerously calm as a small blue light started forming a circle in her right palm. "I am trying to sleep. I have had a hard day, and this-" the blue ki ball got bigger "-is not-" she raised her palm to face him "-HELPING!!" The ki ball surged in her hand, then shot forward, straight at Vegeta.

Vegeta looked up in surprise and dodged out of the way as the beam soared inches past his face. He looked at her in disbelief. "How..." he started. "How did you do that?"

"Do what?" Bulma replied, a bit confused.

*My Kami...* Vegeta thought. *I don't even think she knows when she does these things. But some of the power she has is quite impressive-for a human woman. I should train her...* His thoughts were cut short by an overly exaggerated throat clearing by Bulma. He sighed and floated down to the ground, then slowly walked towards her. "Fine woman," he commented, stopping as he was right beside her. "I'll stop training for tonight. Tomorrow, we start your training." With that, he continued on.

"WHAT?? My training??" Bulma cried, turning around just as he shut the door to his room. She stood at the edge of the endless white room for a moment, thinking about what she had heard. Had she heard wrong? She was severely tired, her ears could have been playing tricks on her. *I had to have heard wrong. Vegeta? Train me?? Yea right, what was I thinking?* She sighed, then trudged back into her room. She slid in under her covers on her bed, glancing at the clock before she sighed exasperatedly and dropped down onto the pillow; falling asleep instantly.

12:23. Little did she know how long a day the next day would be. And little did she know that she had heard correctly what Vegeta had said, and Vegeta takes what he says seriously.

There! Done! I'm sorry it took so long for such a short chapter... I've been busy lately, along with the wonderful writer's block and laziness. ::sigh:: Well, I could have made it longer, but that seemed like the appropriate place to end it. Hope you liked it! Please R&R! Ja.

Reviews I Felt I Needed to Respond to:

RM - Sorry RM, I didn't plan on it, but it seems to be a good little plot add-on for Bulma to be strong. She doesn't really get as strong as the guys, but I wanted her to be strong enough to "take" Vegeta. >) Don't worry, I'm not going to have her end up fighting some tough enemy that beats Goku, Vegeta and Gohan and win. :) I hope you still read it despite the "Bulma being a bit stronger than usual" thing! :D

shantell howard - Ooook.... No need to spaz. I don't like being called an idiot and then threatened to write. >( It was rather inappropriate. And no, I am not "out of my fucking mind," although other people beg to differ. Don't get cranky. Don't have a cow, cuz I don't wanna clean it up.
