I ran as fast as I could to stay ahead of Vegeta. Yeah, right! Who was *I* kidding? He could just do his nifty little transport thing.

Of course, I was right. Vegeta appeared, arms crossed, smirk on his face, right in front of me. I bumped into his chest, hard, and fell down on my ass. Yeah, that's it Bulma!

"Ow! What the hell??" I exclaimed, and went to get up, but he violently pushed my shoulder, pushing me back down harshly. I stared up at him, a startled look on my face. What was *that* for??

"Stay down there, woman! What is your *problem*?" Vegeta demanded angrily, a half crazy scowl on his face. He seriously looked stressed!

"Nothing! I just wanted to have a little fun, is all!" I protested, and glared up at him, the sun making my eyes water. I wouldn't let him push me around like this!

"*I* have things to *do*! First, you need to get your mother to help us, then I have to do all of the nessacery crap, and you are here, playing in the sand, how do you *think* I feel about 'having a little *fun*'?" He growled fiercely, and made pretty much sure that I would get the point by giving me the most evil glare he could muster, which was pretty bad.

I swallowed and gathered my confidence again.

"Well, I don't care! Who said that I was completely dedicated to this, anyway? I don't even really like the idea, now that my *life* isn't really threatened!" I said shortly, and got up, wiped off my butt, and ran back to the beach where the two guys had gone. That *had* to be Miami. I would just find my mother alone.

"That is your decision, go ahead," Vegeta said cooly, and watched me go. I waved to him sarcastically and ran just a bit faster.

My feet were feeling scratched up and dry when I got to the beach from all the rough sand. I walked over to the ocean shore and waded in a little. I then realized that if I was going to make it, I had to get someone to help me, and some money to buy a bathing suit, at least. Here I was, running around in a ripped pair of black leather pants and a blue halter. Not the impression *I* wanted! I was going for the sexy- girl- in- the- black- bikini kind of thing.

I tried to spot at least one of the two hot guys I had seen earlier. They had been eyeballing me, and I knew enough to know an invitation when I saw one, or when they saw me. Hey, they looked a bit older than me, but oh well, what would *they* care??

I spotted them tossing a yellow frisbee not too far away, sweat gleaming off their muscles. Yummy...

I sauntered over and gave them my best pouty look. They stopped and stared at me, like *dogs*. I was immediatly disgusted, but it was my only chance. I took a breath and began my 'sad story'.

"Hey boys," I began, "The guy I was with ran off to get something, and I am absolutely *sick* of his behavior, so I told him so when he got back, and he, well...," I pushed my lower lip out and gave them a sad look. "He le-left me!" I said, and let out a little sob.

The boys were intriuged. One with blonde hair came over and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Don't worry, baby, I will find someplace in the condo for you," He cooed, and winked at his friend, who had brown, highlighted hair. He nodded and they walked with me towards the exit of the beach.

"Is this Miami?" I asked, careful not to sound *too* relieved.

"Yep, of course! Where else would *we* have our condo??" The blonde one with his sweaty (ew) arm around me. He was definitly a rich snob, his friend most likely, too.

"Say, what is your name, hun?" The darker-haired one asked.

I smirked. *This* one would do it, if not my girlish attempts.

"Bulma Briefs. You know, it really is weird to be on Earth again," I observed innocently.

Both their jaws dropped. I was sublimely happy. Good, no need to persuade *anyone* here, except maybe to get off me!

"I am...uh...Brad Parker, and this blockhead is Tyler Greens," The darker haired one said. I smiled my best at him and Tyler, his blonde friend, arm-boy.

This was going to be *too* easy!

~*~

I layed out on the soft black couch, watching some fashion show, Victoria's Secret, I think. The guys were both taking showers. Kami *forbid* the sun make their highlights *green*! I rolled my eyes and picked at the Abercrombie & Fitch bag in front of me, one of many. The guys had had money to spare, by far, so we had gone on a little shopping trip. I had bought a red backpack, just in case I had to run again.

I had gotten a bathing suit, much to my pleasure. What would I do without one?? My main goal in Flordia was to have fun and find my mother, nothing was stopping me from anything! The bathing suit was black, I had insisted on it being that color, and very, very cute. It was a string bikini, with cute little ties on each side of the bottom, and in front on the top. Adorable!

Tyler came out, towel around his waist. Ooooohh...I let my eyes roll over him cooly, and he grinned before going to get his bathing suit back on, no doubt. Brad came from the opposite direction about three minutes later, and he smiled and went to his side of the condo.

Time to get the suit on. I couldn't very well go to the beach without it. I planned on having fun today, and finding my mother tomorrow. I wasn't sure of that. How could I find her? I shook my head, I wanted to have fun, not worry myself to death!

I walked into what looked like a guest room, closed the door, and went to get my little suit on. Of course, it fit perfectly, and I walked out, making sure to have a cocky look on my face. I could get used to *this*!

Tyler and Brad were lounging on the couch, both ready. They stared at me when I came out and stood behind the couch. They both got up and smiled their goofy smiles at me.

"Are we going to the beach or not?" I asked, and they nearly knocked each other over running to the door.

~*~

I had been swimming on Vegetasei before. Never in a huge ocean, but in lakes and pools and rivers. I didn't know of any oceans on Vegetasei. I considered myself a good swimmer, not only because of swimming there, but because even when I had lived on Earth, I had always had a natural ability for it.

The boys thought so, too, because I could easily beat them both in water races. They were impressed with my way of swimming. They said that I hardly made a noise. This was due to the fact that in order to sneak up on both Goku or Vegeta, you have to be almost silent. I was proud of myself, and my flushed cheeks gave me away.

We swam all day, and into the evening before we got tired and our skin was completely dried out. We left for the condo as dark was falling, and basically *fell* into bed after. No, not *that* way! I slept in the spare room, and the boys behaved themselves.

Maybe Earth wasn't so bad.
