Lina had a hold of Gourry's hair, steering him since he couldn't see over all the bags, chatting with Bulma. She looked back over her shoulder every once in a while to male sure Gourry was following all right.
Filia was nagging Xellos to keep up with the rest of them and not to drop any of her things.
Vegeta was mentally blowing things up as he followed the sounds of his companion's voices since he couldn't see where they were.
"Let's stop for lunch," Bulma suggested, seeing the food court nearby. She was nearly trampled by Lina and Gourry once they could smell food. She fell backwards into Vegeta with a squeal of alarm.
Vegeta dropped the bags and managed to steady Bulma and himself before they could fall over. "Be more careful next time Woman," he growled as he set Bulma on her feet and looked down at the spilled bags in disgust.
Filia stopped nagging Xellos and bent to start piling the bags back into Vegeta's arms, pausing to ask Bulma if she was all right.
Bulma was blushing a bit from having been in Vegeta's arms, even if it was only for a second, but she nodded to Filia. "Soory about that Vegeta. Lina and Gourry knocked me over," she said with an apologetic smile.
Vegeta just grunted and waited impatiently for the rest of the bags he'd dropped to be loaded back into his arms. Once they were, he followed Lina and Gourry, but at a more dignified pace. He was starving.
Filia watched as Bulma followed Vegeta, a thoughtful frown on her face. 'I think there may be a romance on their horizon,' she thought. 'Though I'm not sure if Vegeta likes Bulma the way she likes him.'
"Are you going to stand there all day or are we going to follow the others?" Xellos demanded from behind his bags.
Filia snapped out of it and nearly ran after the others. No way did she want to be left alone again with Namagomi.
Lunch turned out to be an event. Lina, Gourry, Vegeta and Filia ate most of the food in the food court while Xellos just looked on with his usual smile and Bulma watched in disbelief.
"I may be rich, but by the time they stop eating, I'll be poor," Bulma moaned into her hands. "Lina! No!" she yelled when she saw Lina getting ready to fireball Gourry when the swordsman took one of her tacos. "Don't use magic here. It could cause a lot of trouble and a lot of damage," she said.
Lina stopped the spell and swiped two of Gourry's Big Macs instead.
"I can't wait to get home," Bulma said tiredly.
