ankle quite badly, he could no longer properly weight his left foot. He looked carefully for Bulma but she was nowhere to be seen. She must have forgotten him anyway. Her aura was also nowhere to be found. Well, he'd find her. But it disappointed him that she wasn't expecting him, even if he didn't want to admit it to himself.

Vegeta went to the front door and passed the tree where he and Bulma had kissed before leaving. He remembered her beautiful blue eyes and her soft lips. As he kept going through her cute features, he didn't notice how Mr. Brief came running up to him and talking to him.




"Hello Vegeta!", Mr. Letter began, "Where have you been all this time? If you want to see Bulma she's not there!" When Vegeta heard Bulma's name he was torn from his thoughts and only now noticed that someone was next to him ran him.




"What do you want from me? I didn't say I wanted to talk to you!" he snapped out of old habit.


"But tell me where Bulma is.", Even if it was against him to ask such an Earthling about it, he had to find out where she is.




"She went for a walk. She should be back in about 2 hours. By the way: When you just flew away, she was just crouching in her room."With that last sentence, Mr. Brief went back to his house.


Vegeta wouldn't have thought that either and why did your father tell him that in the first place. Did he know that Vegeta had missed his daughter. Oh nonsense. That was surely the only way to say it.


He wondered what to do now. Either he went to find Bulma or he waited for her. He chose the second. So he lay down under 'her' tree and enjoyed the rest. He even nodded off for a short while and dreamed of how he could finally hold Bulma in his arms again.




But then something forced him to open his eyes. Bulma's aura !!! He felt it. And then he saw her. Bulma walked her way to the Capsule Corp. property. along. He did not go to meet her. No, he didn't want to come crawling like a dog right away. He would wait, although it was very difficult for him.




Bulma saw him sitting there by the tree from afar. But she too had her pride and so she went into the house without even looking at him.She walked down the long corridors until she came to her room and sat there on her laptop. But she couldn't concentrate properly. That must be up to Vegeta. She hadn't thought about him in the last few weeks but now that he was back everything came back up.








Meanwhile Vegeta decided to run after Bulma. After all, he was the one who ran away. Now was the time to apologize to her. So he went to her room and saw her sitting there at her desk. Vegeta stepped behind her, turned her chair and looked into her eyes. Those eyes had followed him all along.


Bulma couldn't escape his gaze and had forgotten all her anger at him. She got up, threw herself around his neck, and kissed him. However, she noticed that he was almost only standing on his right leg, pressed him onto her bed, said: "You can hardly stand anymore. Stay seated until I come back.", and ran quickly into the hospital room. When she came back she had bandages and healing ointment with her. She took off Vegeta's shoe and found that the ankle was totally blue and swollen.




"That looks bad. You're getting private treatment now.", Bulma said and grinned.




"That's not so bad. Tomorrow it's okay again!" Replied Vegeta, who didn't want to admit that it was really bad. But let it be confessed.




When Bulma was done, Vegeta gave her a kiss in thanks and pulled her onto the bed. He kissed her neck, nibbled her ear, and then looked at her invitingly. She took off the top of his combat suit and caressed his scars. Vegeta had finally overcome herself. He too could be tender and love. They spent the whole night together and then fell asleep arm in arm.




The next morning, Vegeta was the first to wake up. Bulma was still in his arms.She still had her eyes closed.




“Thank you,” he said, “thank you for helping me love.” He gave her one last kiss before going into the gravity room to train.




But Bulma had heard his words and smiled happily. Vegeta had finally learned that there were still people who loved him.
