"How in the hell did I get myself into this?" Vegita wondered to himself as he stood among the crowd with Bulma.
"Has everyone taken a number?" an official called into the area where the crowd was resting.
"How in the HELL did I get into this?" he asked himself again trying
to think back. Realizing what he had done, he slapped his forehead and
sighed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eighteen Months Earlier:
Bulma and Bra sat in front of the television watching the International Dance Championship. Bra, being the inquisitive child she is, noticed that her mother had a wistful look on her face as she watched the dancers competing in Latin division.
"Mama, is something wrong?" she wondered
"Oh nothing Bra-chan. It's just that . . .oh nothing." Bulma sighed.
Bra looked back at the television for a second then at her mother again. "You wish you could dance like that?"
"Iie Bra-chan, I know how to dance like that. It's just that I haven't danced since I met your papa."
Again Bra looked toward the television. "Do you think Papa knows how to dance?"
Bulma laughed "I seriously doubt it."
"Do you thing Papa could learn to dance?"
Bulma laughed harder at the thought of the sayijin prince taking lessons from someone. "Your Papa doesn't have the patience to take dance lessons from someone else."
Unbeknownst to Bulma and Bra, Vegita was standing behind them listening
to their conversation. He scowled at the last remark Bulma made about him
and silently stormed away. "I'll show you that I have the patience to take
dance lessons." Vegita crept into the kitchen and grabbed the phone book
and began to hunt for the best Dance instructor in Japan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of days later, having located an excellent instructor, Vegita went to Talk with her about taking lessons. "So Vegita-san, you want to learn to dance, ne?" Esmerlda asked as she set up a song on her CD player.
Vegita crossed his arms and stared at the woman. "Hai, that's why I'm here."
Esmerlda circled Vegita like a vulture looking him up and down. Disappointed with her primary assessment, she shook her head. "Iie, I won't teach you, please leave."
"Nani? Why?" Vegita snapped. "If it's money…"
"It's not the money Vegita-san, You don't have the desire to dance. You want to learn to make a point."
"So! What's wrong with that?" Vegita snapped.
Esmerlda scowled at Vegita. "I refuse to teach someone you doesn't have the desire to dance." She turned to walk away, "Please leave now."
Vegita growled and was about to loose his temper when two of Esmerlda's students walked in. He stayed and watched as they danced the rumba, the samba, and other various dances. Mesmerized by their movements, Vegita became more determined to learn how to dance.
A few hours later, he reproached Esmerlda. "Please, teach me."
Esmerlda looked at him and smiled. "Okay, since you are sincere and really want to learn, I'll teach you. Come back tomorrow evening, and we'll begin your lessons." Vegita bowed and thanked her as he left.
Every evening for the next eight months, Vegita would go to Esmerlda's dance studio right after dinner. Bulma knew something suspicious was going on when she heard Vegita humming a song one evening while he was getting ready for bed. Fearing the worst, Bulma decided to follow him one evening. She was ready to kill her husband for cheating on her; if he was that is. She silently followed Vegita up the stairs to the studio and listened as Vegita talked to Esmerlda.
Letting her jealousy get to her, Bulma burst through the door and snapped at Vegita. "You low down son of a . . ."
"Bulma, let me explain!" Vegita interjected. "I asked Esmerlda to teach me how to dance. I wanted it to be a surprise for you, but you ruined it."
Bulma stared at Esmerlda then at Vegita. "What in the hell are you talking about?" she snapped.
"I overheard you and Bra talking about dancing a while ago and decided to take a few lessons. I was going to surprise you for your birthday next week, but you've ruined it."
Bulma blushed embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I guess I let my jealousy get the best of me." She looked up at Vegita and tried to smile. "Can I at least take a lesson with you?"
Vegita first looked at Bulma, then at Esmerlda. "Don't look at me Vegita-san. It's up to you if you want Bulma to take a lesson with you."
Vegita smiled wickedly as he started the music and began to show Bulma what he knew. Esmerlda watched amazed as Vegita and Bulma danced. "My God, they're good! I have never seen anyone dance with as much passion as these two." An idea popped into her head. "Vegita-san, Bulma-san, would you two be interested in a competition?"
"Nani?" Vegita said.
Bulma stared at Esmerlda amazed. "Do you think that Vegita and I are good enough to compete?"
"Hai, what do you say?"
"What do I say? What do I say?" Vegita started. "I say . . . okay. But,
you had better keep this a secret."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Vegita, what's the matter?" Bulma wondered gently touching his arm. "Having second thoughts about this? If so . . ."
"Iie, we've cone this far. I'll be damned if I quit now." Vegita said as he took Bulma's hand and walked out of the sitting area.
Bulma and Vegita stood by and watched as they waited for the M.C. to announce them. When their turn finally came, Vegita led Bulma out on the dance floor and they danced completely forgetting about the audience and judges until they heard a huge applause and saw that they were received a standing ovation.
When it came time for awards to be given, Bulma and Vegita were shocked when they received first place.
The end

Author's notes:
I got the idea for this story after I saw the Latin division of Championship Ballroom Dancing on channel 11. I thought it would be cool to have Bulma and Vegita dancing together because . . .well . . .Look at them! They have to be the most passionate couple in the DBZ world and let's face it, not many people want to see another lemon about this couple
