"Looking for the kitchen Vegeta?" Bulma asked with a raised eyebrow. She was feeling a lot more comfortable around Vegeta now that she'd seen how easily he had been taken down by Lina. Plus, she thought he was HOT!
Vegeta just grunted, though he looked at Bulma from the corner of his eyes.'Not bad looking for a weak human,' he decided.
Bulma took Vegeta's grunt to be a postive on the kitchen situation and started walking down the hall. She looked back over her shoulder. "I'm heading for the kitchen. Put one foot in front of the other and then'll we'll get there," she said when Vegeta still hadn't moved.
Vegeta grunted and followed Bulma. 'Bossy human wench,' he grumbled mentally.
Lina was up early the next morning, exploring every inch of Capsule Corp. and causing quite a lot of mischief, Gourry by her side.
Filia trailed after the two, trying to ignore Xellos and keep Lina and Gourry out of trouble. She kept apologizing to the people Lina inadvertantly burnt or insulted.
Xellos, Vegeta and Bulma followed the antics of the three with varying degrees of amusement or dismay.
"I think I'll take our guests shopping," Bulma told her mother. 'Maybe that'll keep them out of trouble,' she thought. She didn't know how wrong she was.
'Please don't let Vegeta blow anything up,' Bulma silently prayed when she dragged the three men into a male clothing deparment store. She watched nervously as he glared at any shopsperson who came too close to him. She grabbed his arm when he almost blew the head off a manequin. "I'll help him get what he wants," she told the sales lady.
"Of course Miss Briefs," came the relieved reply.
Filia and Lina were busy helping Gourry choose his new clothes and trying to keep Xellos from causing trouble.
"I never knew you cared," Xellos sighed when Filia finally got fed up and grabbed his hand.
"I don't," Filia snarled. "I'm only doing this for Bulma's sake." She dragged Xellos after her through the store, choosing clothes she thought would suit the Trickster Priest.
Gourry was having fun. He was getting new clothes and Lina was helping him. "What about this?" he asked, holding up a leather jacket with a design of flames and a sword for Lina's approval.
Lina nodded. "I like it. I wonder if they have one like it in my size," she said. She started browsing through the racks, looking for a leather jacket like the one Gourry had.
Gourry decided to help Lina with her search and added the jacket to the growing pile of clothes he'd chosen.
Lina and Filia nodded, their eyes reflecting their excitement. This was going to be fun.
