Bulma screamed as the beam came hurtling towards her, but she swatted it away easily. *That was unexpected,* she thought. Then, something, or more accurately someone, materialized in front of her. She felt a warm, strong pair of arms wrap themselves around her waist. She looked up to see the affectionate face of Vegeta before her.

Her mind registered surprise and confusion, but her face showed a smile of love and lust-filled eyes. Then he lent in and kissed her on the lips and, to her surprise, she kissed back. But when Vegeta pulled back, she felt her head get heavy and her mind went black. The last thing she saw was Vegeta's worried face.

"Woman!" a voice called. It sounded far off and distant. "Woman!" it sounded again, this time closer, until, "WOMAN!" It was like an alarm. Bulma shot up in bed with a screech... and fell off the edge of the bed.

"Woman, get the hell up!" came the irritated voice of Vegeta, standing in her doorway.

"Ugh..." she moaned, standing up and rubbing her sore butt. "What for...? I'm tired..."

"For your training, dumbass. I told you last night," he replied. Bulma stopped moving altogether.

"Y... You weren't kidding?? You weren't on some power drunk, jacked up stupor??" she cried, turning around quickly and walking, panicked, up to him.

"I am never in a 'stupor' of any sort, for future reference. And I do not kid." Bulma's eyes widened considerably.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~

Chichi ran, panic stricken, up to Popo. "Mr. Popo! Mr. Popo!" she screamed, running up to him and shaking him by the shoulders.

"What is it, my child?" he asked shakily, practically getting whiplash.

"BULMA IS TRAPPED IN THAT TIME ROOM WITH VEGETA!!!!!!"

"Oh dear..." was Popo's reply.

"Is there ANY way we can get them out??" Chichi asked, finally letting go of Mr. Popo's shoulders. Popo wandered away from her slowly.

"I'm afraid not... They must be in there the full year..." he informed slowly, hands behind his back, walking solemnly away from Chichi.

"Oh my Kami...." Chichi said, tears welling up in her eyes. "Where are you going??"

"To see Kami. We'll see what he can do," Popo responded, continuing his slow and steady walk. Chichi followed behind him, sulking. *I'd better call Goku...* she thought solemnly.

When they reached the main entry of Kami's Lookout, Pop informed her to stay there while he found Kami.

"Okay... Where's a phone I can use?" Chichi asked. Popo only laughed.

"Phone? Oh heavens, no! We don't use phones here! Hold on, I will send him a mental message to come here as soon as possible (Hey, the series never said he couldn't do that!)." Popo closed his eyes for a moment; thoughtfully almost, then opened his eyes with a smile on his face. "It is done! He will be here soon. Now you just stay here while I fetch Kami." Chichi's eyes were wide with astonishment.

"O... Okay..." was all she could reply, then Mr. Popo walked into the huge, round dome in the center of the Lookout.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Woman, just take a step onto it. If it's too much for you, I'll protect you," Vegeta said. (AN: Wow... That's REALLY OOC...) Bulma didn't let go of his leg that she was clung to.

"No. That big white area is too ominous and creepy, I'm not going out there," she mumbled.

*Jesus... and I haven't even told her about the gravity increase...* Vegeta thought in exasperation. "Woman... you try my patience. Don't make me fling you out there." Bulma looked up at him with puppy dog eyes, and Vegeta was stunned at how cute she looked at that moment. Then his pride hit him in the face with a mental frying pan. *What the hell are you thinking???* he shook his head clear of any thoughts of Bulma's beauty. "Don't give me that look woman, get out there."

Bulma sighed and stood up, letting go of his leg. She whimpered as she took slow, steady steps towards the white area. When she reached the area, she poked one foot... and screamed as it was pulled straight to the ground. "WHAT THE HELL!!!" she cried pulling her foot out of the area. Vegeta chuckled, and Bulma looked at him angrily, fire in her eyes.

"That's the extra gravity that you're feeling," Vegeta calmly explained.

"The extra gravity that you neglected to tell me about!!" she yelled, getting up and standing directly in front of him, her face just inches away from his. Both of them felt the immense heat and the electricity between them, yet none of them showed any knowledge of the change.

"I decided to let you figure it out for yourself, woman."

"Why? So I could kill myself!? Wonderful trainer YOU are." Vegeta's eyes squinted a bit.

"You're going to have to learn to take the gravity, because that's where you're going to be training. And I don't want to hear any of your bitching."

"But I'll be crushed under the weight!" Vegeta sighed.

"Believe it or not, I wouldn't let you be crushed to death. I'll protect you with my ki so you can gradually get used to the weight." Bulma was surprised, she was sure that he wouldn't care if she died under the gravity.

"R... Really?" Vegeta sighed again in exasperation.

"Yes, really. Now let's get to it!" he cried, then he grabbed Bulma by the waist and jumped out into the endless white area with Bulma screaming, "I'M GONNA DIE I'M GONNA DIE!!!!!" Once he landed and set Bulma on the ground, he waited a bit for the woman to regain her composure, which she never did. She lay crouched on the floor, still yelling, "I'M GONNA DIE!!!"

"For Christ sake, woman! You're not going to die! Do you feel the gravity? No. Now get up and stop being pissy!" Vegeta told her sternly. Bulma stopped her cowering on the ground and looked up at him.

"So... you are really protecting me from the gravity right now?" she asked hesitantly. Vegeta just sighed again.

"Do you FEEL the gravity, woman?" Bulma blushed as she realized what she just asked. She slowly stood up and looked around.

*Cool...* she thought.

"Are you ready to start getting used to the gravity?" Vegeta asked, almost kindly. Bulma looked at him awkwardly before replying.

"No?" Vegeta frowned.

"Too damn bad." Bulma clenched her teeth and closed her eyes....... but felt nothing. She opened one eye and again looked around.

"Wow... that wasn't too bad," she stated with a smile.

"I didn't do it yet," Vegeta smirked as he let a little bit of the gravity in, making it about 2X Earth's normal gravity. He watched in amusement as Bulma shuddered and struggled to keep her balance. He didn't feel a thing, of coarse.

"Damnit!" Bulma cried. "How much did you frigging let in??" Vegeta only scoffed.

"I moved it up to 2X Earth's normal gravity, you wuss...." Bulma looked up at him angrily, completely forgetting about the gravity and standing straight up, even on her toes, and looked him directly in the face, only an inch away.

"I am NOT a wuss!! And excuse me but I believe that YOU were the one practically BEGGING me to begin training because YOU thought that I had potential! If I'm such a wuss then why are you even bothering?? Get your priorities straight you pompous, idiotic, I-art-holier-than-thou ASS!!!!" she cried. Imagine her surprise when all she got from Vegeta was a satisfied smirk. Not even a retort, just that damned smirk. "What? What now, huh??"

"Exactly as I thought," Vegeta replied. Bulma looked confused, which she was. "You don't even realize it. If I can take your mind off of the problem at hand, you forget about it. You have already forgotten about the gravity, haven't you?" Bulma looked down at herself, on her tiptoes. "Told you. You can be strong when you don't think about it. Were you even sanely thinking when you blasted that dick you call a boyfriend into the sky?"

Bulma thought for a second. "Actually..... I don't think that I was.... I just remember seeing him, then my mind went blank and I suddenly started acting on instinct."

"See? You said it yourself, you acted on instinct. Do you realize that you just admitted what I suspected? When things happen to kick in the instinct, you fight. Your instincts are to fight." Bulma's eyes widened noticeably as he said that last line.

*Can that really be true...? My instincts are to... fight?*
