Chapter 10
“Was there any sign of them?” Master Roshi asked Gokou, referring to Vegeta and Bulma.
“No,” Gokou nodded.
“What about the Ginyu Force?” Roshi asked again.
“Well, they sort of retreated when Recoome and Jeice reported back to Ginyu,” Krillen answered.
“But they’re still on Earth,” Piccolo added.
“But why?”
“We don’t know... Maybe it has something to do with Vegeta and Bulma,” Gohan answered.
“It does,” Baba interjected as she came out of Roshi’s house. “Look in my crystal ball,” she said and chanted a few magic words. The crystal ball showed Bulma taking Jeice’s blast for Vegeta and when Vegeta mourned at Bulma.
“Vegeta? Bulma? Together?” Piccolo gasped.
“So Bulma is dead...” Gokou whispered.
“BUUULLLLMMMAAAA!” Vegeta yelled in the crystal ball.
“Geez, that guy really knows how to make a scene doesn’t he?” Krillen said.
“We better find Vegeta fast,” Roshi told them.
“Why?” they asked.
“There’s no telling what a broken hearted man like Vegeta would do.”
“Gohan, you go home and tell your mom and Bulma’s parents what happened to Bulma, okay?” Gokou said to Gohan. “For the rest of us, let’s find Vegeta,” Gokou told Krillen and Piccolo and they flew out of Roshi’s little island.
***
It took at least a week for Vegeta to find all Dragon Balls. The moment he got all of them, he took them to his little island. Vegeta laid the Dragon Balls on the lake’s shore. He summoned the Eternal Dragon, the sky suddenly turned black, thunder and lighting filled the sky. The Eternal Dragon, Shen Long, appeared in the middle of the lake and looked at Vegeta.
“I’m Shen Long the Eternal Dragon, what is your wish?” the giant dragon asked.
“I want my Bulma back,” Vegeta said.
“Granted.” Shen Long disappeared. Bulma’s body rose from the lake, glowing. Her body floated in the air and went to the shore. Bulma’s body was dropped on the ground gently.
“Where am I?” she asked groggily, sitting herself up and saw Vegeta in front of her. She stood up and Vegeta was smirking at her. “What took you so long to wish me back!” she spat.
Vegeta’s “happy” face switched to his arguing face. “Is that how you repay me after wishing you back?” he spat back.
“Who asked you to wish me back anyway?!”
“Hmmppphhh, I could’ve used that wish to make me immortal, but no, I had to wish you back, Queen of Loud Mouths!?”
“Really?!”
“Yeah!” They both paused and they stared at each other. They both knew they had missed their arguments even though it drove one of them crazy. Bulma ran to Vegeta and hugged him.
“I missed you,” Bulma sniffed.
“I missed you too,” Vegeta replied. He cupped Bulma’s chin and kissed her.
“We better get going,” Vegeta said as he broke the kiss. “Everyone is worried.”
“Okay,” she said as she wrapped her arms around Vegeta’s neck. Vegeta lifted her and flew back to Capsule Corporation.
***
Bulma entered the Capsule Corporation and saw all of her friends in the lobby, her parents and the whole gang, but not Yamcha.
“Bulma...” her mother whispered, running towards her daughter and hugged her.
“How can this be?” her father asked, hugging Mrs. Briefs and Bulma. “We’ve been told you were dead... Ms. Baba’s crystal ball showed us what happened.”
“It’s okay now, Vegeta brought me back to life with the Dragon Balls,” Bulma said, breaking away from the hug. Her parents turned to Vegeta who was beside them.
“Thank you young man, you brought my daughter back to me,” Mr. Briefs said, putting his hand on Vegeta’s shoulder. Bulma’s parents kept thanking Vegeta while Bulma turned to her friends.
“Welcome back Bulma,” Chi Chi sniffed with tears in her eyes, she ran towards Bulma and hugged her.
“We’re glad that you’re back,” each everyone of them said.
“Thanks you guys.”
Vegeta managed to break away from Bulma’s parents’ praises and turned to Bulma and her friends. “Okay people, she’s back now, she’s needs to rest,” Vegeta said in his cold voice and crossed his arms.
“Vegeta...” Bulma scolded.
“He’s right Bulma, see you tomorrow,” Roshi said as he shooed the whole gang to the door. Bulma ran outside and waved to her friends good bye. She went back inside and realized how lucky she is to have such great friends.
“See you tomorrow dear,” her mother said as she and her husband went to their bedroom.
“Good night, mom, dad,” she replied and turned to Vegeta.
“Can you sleep with me tonight?” Bulma asked.
“Why not?” Vegeta smirked as they walked out of the lobby and headed to Bulma’s room.
***
“BUUUZZZZ!” the alarm clock rang. Bulma’s eyes opened and saw it was 7:00 in the morning. She turned to Vegeta who was sleeping beside her, his back facing her.
“Can it get better than this?” she asked herself as Vegeta turned around and putted his hands around Bulma. Bulma moved in closer and snuggled under Vegeta’s arms and went back to sleep.
