Chapter 6
Bulma was watching Vegeta being tended by doctors from a window in the hospital. The doctors
were putting all sorts of things on him, a mask to help him breathe and wires and tubes connected
to his arms. “I hope that ki I gave him bought him enough time. Oh Dende, please don’t take
him away from me. I need him...” Bulma sobbed mentally. She turned around and leaned against
the glass window. She was going to cry but a doctor exited the room and stepped up to her. “Is
he going to be okay doctor?” she asked.
“We don’t know, he lost a lot of blood. It’s a miracle that he’s even alive, a normal person would
have died by now. He’s different though, there’s a little something that kept him alive,” the
doctor answered.
“I bet it’s the ki that kept him alive...” Bulma thought, not paying attention to the rest of what the
doctor said and he noticed.
“Ms. Briefs? Were you listening?”
“Uh no, sorry.”
“We don’t know when he might gain consciousness since most of his energy is gone.”
“Um, may I please see him?”
“You may in an hour in room 301.”
“Thanks doctor. If anyone is looking for me, please tell them I went to the canteen.”
“Okay, I will.”
“Thanks again,” Bulma smiled and headed to the canteen. She went to the counter and ordered a
glass of juice and a muffin. She then took a seat when she got her food. She was about to take a
bite on her muffin but she felt a hand on her shoulder. Bulma turned around and found Yamcha
smiling at her. She glared at him and turned back around. Yamcha took a seat in front of her and
took a deep breath.
“Are you still mad at me?” he asked.
“Yeah, I can’t believe you have the guts to show your ugly face here after what you said about me
and Vegeta,” Bulma growled with her teeth clenched.
“Look, Bulma... I’m sorry. It’s just I found it hard that Vegeta actually cares for someone.”
“Maybe, but you don’t have the right to say what you said. Get out of my sight! I HATE you!”
Bulma screamed.
“Bulma, please calm down, everyone is staring at us,” Yamcha panicked.
“I will NOT calm down! Not until I know Vegeta is going to be okay again...” Bulma sobbed and
ran away.

Bulma hid herself in the washroom, the only place in the hospital where Yamcha couldn’t get her.
She was sitting on the toilet seat, her hands were on her face, crying. “Damn that Yamcha,
arrgghh, I hate myself for dating him before.” She took some tissue paper to her left and blew her
nose. She took another one and looked at it closely. She closed her eyes and started to
remember what happened between her and Vegeta back on Namek. She remembered the time
when she tended his wounds, the time when they kissed under water, and last but not least, the
time when they shared ki, her most valuable, cherished, and special memory of all.
“Oh Dende, please don’t take him away from me,” she thought, looking at the ceiling. She then
got up and left the bathroom. She looked at her watch and an hour has passed. “I guess I can see
him now.” Bulma headed to the room where the doctor said Vegeta was going to be. She found
it in a matter of minutes, room 301. She entered quietly and found Vegeta laying on the bed. She
pulled up a chair beside him and sat down. “Come back to me soon my prince,” she whispered,
holding his left hand and rested her head beside him, falling into sleep.

Bulma woke up when she heard footsteps around the room. She looked up and saw officer Jenny
pacing around. “Officer Jenny? What are you doing here?” Bulma asked groggily.
“Thank goodness you’re awake. I just came here to see if Allan is doing okay,” Jenny replied.
“Allan? His real name is Vegeta. You see, he lost his memory and completely forgot who he
was. Uh, officer, who were those guys that hanged around Vegeta while he had amnesia?”
“Those guys are a gang in that neighbour, they’re lowlifes, always causing trouble you know.
Them and their rivals, the ones that lived in that warehouse, constantly fight around the
neighbourhood. Not only they injure themselves but other people as well, they just got hauled in
a couple of months ago. I’m sorry that your boyfriend got dragged into their mess.”
“It’s okay...”
“Is he going to be all right?”
“I think so, I hope...”
“Well then, I just came here to see if he’s doing okay and to give you information on the people
he stayed with. I’m leaving you two alone.”
“Thanks for coming officer,” Bulma smiled and escorted Jenny to the door.
“Was that Jenny?” a voice grumbled.
“Huh?” Bulma gasped and turned around quickly. Vegeta was mumbling in his sleep. She raced
over to him and began to shake him. “Vegeta! Vegeta! Wake up!” Vegeta’s eyes opened
slowly and they widened suddenly as he found himself in the hospital room.
“Why am I here?!!” he demanded.
“Vegeta, you’re awake!” Bulma cried happily and hugged him.
“Hmm? How did I get here? Let’s get out of this place.” Vegeta took off his mask and the
things that were attached to him and jumped off the bed.
“Vegeta what are you doing?”
“Quit complaining...” He walked over to Bulma and slid his arm under her legs and the other on
her back, lifting her up. He headed to the window and began to power up. “Hold on tight,” he
smirked and Bulma wrapped his neck with her arms and they flew out of the window.
Minutes of flying has passed by and they seem to be heading out of city, not to Capsule
Corporation. Soon, the city below them was gone, there were just trees and forests.
“What are we doing way out of the city?” Bulma asked but Vegeta remained silent.
Vegeta finally landed on a cliff and putted her “mate” down. Bulma walked to the edge of the
cliff and looked down on the sparkling sea water. She then looked up, the sea was turning red
and so was the sky, the sun was setting. “I wonder why he brought me here.” She turned back to
Vegeta and gave him a big hug. “Vegeta... I never got to say this back at the hospital...” Bulma
started.
“It’s a good thing we got out of that place right away, I hate it,” Vegeta interjected.
Bulma tightened her hug and tears began to flow down to her cheeks. “I’ve really missed you, I
thought I was never going to see you again. I thought I was going to lose you when that guy
stabbed you on the back. I was so scared, scared that I might never see you again...” Bulma
trailed off and began to sob.
“There’s no need to wet my shirt with your tears. I’m back now, that’s what matters. But, to be
honest, I was scared too... scared that I might not see you again,” Vegeta whispered softly.
“I can’t help it, it’s just that, I thought you might never remember me again... All those horrible
things you said...”
“Look, I’m sorry for whatever I said before.”
“It’s okay... that wasn’t the real you talking,” Bulma sniffed, wiping her tears away.
“Say, what was I like when I lost my memory?” Vegeta smirked.
“You won’t believe it,” Bulma chuckled. The two hold hands and walked to the edge of the cliff
and watched the sun set.
