crying? Maybe I should wake him up?" She ponders and gently shakes his shoulder. Vegeta clenches his teeth again and slaps her hand in his sleep as he turns around again. "No! ... No !! Leave me alone!" he calls now and puts his hands over his head. Bulma starts up from the bed, because she doesn't necessarily want to get one of his blows if he should start to rage even more.His breathing is fast and his eyes go back and forth excitedly among the closed songs. "He must have a bad nightmare ..." says Bulma and approaches him again. "No !! Get out! Leave me !!" he yells now and throws himself around again. Bulma is determined to put an end to this and takes one of his hands. "Vegeta! Wake up!" she speaks to him. When he feels her hand he clings his lightly around hers and becomes a little calmer. Bulma notices that he is shaking. His breathing is panting hard. Bulma bends over him and with her right hand she gently strokes his cheek with the back of her fingers. Vegeta blinks briefly and then opens his eyes, startled. "Take it easy! Everything is fine." Bulma speaks to him calmly. "It's all good. You just had a bad dream." she calms him down until she can catch his gaze, which is looking around wildly at first. He stares at her, speechless at her proximity. He looks into her beautiful face on which the silver moon leaves its magic."What ... what are you doing here?" he asks her softly but firmly. "I heard you scream and I checked it out." Bulma explains to him without further ado. Vegeta stares at her again. "Did I speak in my sleep? What did she hear?" he asks himself first. "You seem to have had a bad nightmare. Do you want to tell me about it?" she speaks to him calmly now and sits up straight again. "Pah! Dream on! What a nightmare? I didn't have a nightmare!" he turns around, sits up in bed and throws away the covers to get up. "That is already permanent!" he whispers to himself as he goes to the balcony door. "Where are you going?" asks Bulma and looks after him worried. "On the balcony, it's too hot for me here!" he gives her back, slightly annoyed, and steps outside into the cool March air through the balcony door that he has just opened. He goes to the railing and stretches. "Are you crazy? You're gonna get dead!" Bulma follows him and draws his attention to the fact that he is only wearing shorts."I don't think I think anything at all anymore ?!" he gives her back irritated and dejected at the same time. Bulma also steps out onto the balcony and the cool air hits her. "Prr ... pretty fresh for this time of year!" she noticed quickly because in this area it was always warmer than anywhere else. "You don't have to be here! Just go!" it comes cold from Vegeta. "Well, listen! I won't just go now if I can see that you are feeling bad!" she makes the situation clear to him and stands next to him. "I'm not feeling bad! I feel great!" it comes back from Vegeta quickly. "Well? Satisfied? Now you can go back to sleep in peace! Good night!" Vegeta remains stubborn and looks at the dark horizon. "No, I am only satisfied when you say what is bothering you!" Bulma protests against his number. "Nothing what should be?" he pretends to be stupid. "Well, I may not always understand your warrior Latin, but I'm not that stupid that I would not notice that you are racking your brain about something!" Bulma counters and grins triumphantly."And about what, please ?!" Eyes at Vegeta. "Mh ... right! What could you worry about? You don't give a damn about anything, you don't care about what's going on around you, so what should you break yourself in your hollow pear?" Bulma shrugs her shoulders and makes ready to go inside again. "Huh ?! Hollow pear? !!" Vegeta starts now. "You probably forget who you have in front of you ?!" Vegeta goes after her and grabs her wrist to hold her back. Bulma looks at him startled, although she expected such a similar reaction. "What are you allowing yourself ?! How do you think you can talk to me ?! I am the strongest warrior in the universe, nobody insults me with impunity! You probably forget who I am ?!" Vegeta roars and comes very close to her. Bulma's gaze remains stubbornly steadfast and steadfast in his own. "So? So you're a warrior, yeah?" she now begins to speak ambiguously. Vegeta looks at her questioningly because he can't exactly interpret what her tone of voice means."Then behave like that, too!" drives Bulma, now Vegeta and taps with her index finger on his bare chest. Vegeta looks at her puffedly and pulls up the corner of her mouth. "Yes exactly! So you're a warrior, behave like a warrior and don't hide in your bed and wait for better times!" Bulma drives off again. "You are still dissolving in your self-pity! Look ahead again, damn it !!" Bulma doesn't let him have a say. "Forget that Feith-Schmalzi and what happened! Anyone would have been inferior to him. Even Son-Goku!" she persuades Vegeta who is now looking at her seriously. "Do you care if in a year these cyborgs come and destroy everything that is dear to us ?! Destroy the whole earth ?! Kill all our friends ?!" Bulma looks at him with trembling eyes. "N..no!" he answers hesitantly. "Then finally start training again!" she now pulls her hand out of his grip and goes inside through the door."Think about it instead of pitying yourself and vegetating! Don't forget who you are!" she comes to the end and opens the door to the corridor into which she disappears. Vegeta's gaze stays on the door that Bulma had just walked through. "Thunderstorm! She's got it!" he wonders about her and even more about himself that he has let her collapse him. "Damn it...!" now it escapes him and he turns back to the railing. "She is right!" he turns his gaze to the spaceship that is below, in its place, in the garden. "I almost really forgot who I am ..." he closes his eyes for a moment. "I should live up to my name!" he opens his eyes, in which that certain sparkle has returned, and decides with a smile to resume training tomorrow. He almost let himself be unsettled by this incident with Feith. He had begun to doubt himself whether he would have been able to win this fight in a year or whether he would just be embarrassed.He almost gave himself up, possibly starting a different, normal, life here on earth or elsewhere in space. Then his thought suddenly falls back on Bulma. Vegeta realizes again that he has already admitted to himself that Bulma is something special. Just a moment ago he was able to clearly recognize what was special about her. With a clear view.
