Well anyways....who is the guy on the Panther's team {the apposing football team} that is hitting
on Bulma? What will Vegeta do about it? Who will win? Will I ever shut up and get on with the story? Ok, now I will.

hehehe ^_~

Piccolo got up out of bed slowly. He yawned and stretched as he walked over to his bathroom and
then brushed his teeth. He turned away to leave the bathroom and accidentally slipped on a bar of
soap that was carelessly placed on the floor.

"Aaaargh!" He yelled and fell to the floor with an 'UHG!'

He got up sorely to his feet with a grown and growled 'Stupid piece of crap...' he returned to the sink
and splashed some cold water onto his face to wake himself fully. He wiped his face dry with a towel and
went into the kitchen. He drank a cold glass of ice water and went into the living room and flopped onto
the couch. He looked at his watch. 11:00am. He was really glad it was a weekend.

He decided to watch a soap {hehehe} and grabbed the remote and turned on the tv. Marcie was up to it again.
'What a ditz.' He thought as she flirted with a new sap who's name was Jeff. He started feeling sorry for
her boyfriend, Joe, who was at the hospital dying from cancer. He had no idea Marcie was cheating on him.

"Man," Piccolo thought out loud as Marcie told the bed-ridden Joe she was devastated and walked into the arms
of Jeff as if she hadn't said such a thing, "I hope Karina ever wont do this."

He tried to imagine himself in a hospital bed, Karina at his side looking at him with mournful eyes.

"I can't believe your going to die." the imaginary Karina said.

"Well, thanks for putting it so bluntly." imaginary Piccolo replied.

"Sorry." She said putting her hand to her mouth.

"Darling?" called a voice from the hall.

"In here, sweety." Karina called, using Piccolo's stomach to hoist herself up.

"Ugh!" Piccolo groaned.

"Darling!" Goku exclaimed appearing in the doorway.

"Sweety!" Karina smiled, running into his arms.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" Piccolo cried.

~

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" The real Piccolo cried, waking up from his day dream.

He looked around, realizing what had happened. He was relieved that it really had not happened. He scowled at
the tv before clicking it off with the remote. He looked at his watch again. '1:00pm!' he thought in surprise
'dang, time sure does fly!' he got up off of the couch.

"Hmm, the game starts at....uh...? I better call Vegeta..." Piccolo thought out loud.

He picked up his phone and dialed Vegeta's number. Vegeta picked up on the third ring.

"Hello?" Vegeta answered.

"Hey Vegeta." Piccolo greeted.

"Sup Piccolo?" Vegeta asked.

"Not much, I was just going to ask what time the game was."

"You forgot?" Vegeta asked in a semi-astonished voice.

"Yeah, it just slipped my mind."

"5:00."

"Ok, Cool."

"Don't forget." Vegeta warned.

"I won't, bye." Piccolo assured.

Vegeta hung up without saying any goodbyes. Piccolo growled as he put the phone back on the hook. He thought
'If I forgot what time the game was at, Goku definitely did.' He dialed his number and Goku picked up.

"Yo, sup?" was his greeting.

"Not much Goku." Piccolo said rolling his eyes smiling.

"Hi Piccolo!" Goku smiled at the other end of the line.

"Do you remember what time the game is?" Piccolo asked, knowing the answer already.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh..." Goku said searching his brain for the answer. "Nope!" He smiled.

"That's what I thought." Piccolo smirked.

"What time is it at?" Goku questioned.

"5:00." Piccolo answered.

"K!" Goku said with a big goofy grin.

"See you there."

"K!"

They hung up and Piccolo decided to wash his football uniform. It was in pretty crappy shape after yesterdays practice.
He threw it in the washer and threw in a lot of soap, not caring how much the instructions said.

~At Bulma's Pad~

Bulma pulled on her cheerleading skirt and fluffed her hair. She smiled when the phone rang. She picked it up and said
"Hey Chi."

"Hey Bulma. Can I come on over?" Chi-Chi replied.

"Sure. Karina is coming to?" Bulma asked.

"Yep, she's right here with me. Be over in a sec." Chi-Chi said to her blue-haired friend.

"Alright." She hung up.

Sitting on her pink fluffy bed she rehearsed the cheerleading moves in her mind. She didn't want to mess up their halftime
show. 'That would suck...' she thought. 'I hope we can make sure Karina knows all the moves, she hasn't even tried it yet!
crap!' She bit her nails nervously.

The door bell rang 10 minutes later. She rushed downstairs and opened the door to reveal her two friends. She quickly greeted
them and invited them inside. They went up at once two Bulma's room, giving rushed hellos to Mrs. and Mr. Brief.

Once upstairs, Chi-Chi and Bulma explained all of the technics and the whole dance to her. She listened intently, making sure
she heard everything and nodded, showing she understood.

"Alright lets try some of it." Bulma said. The two nodded and got in position. They did all the steps, and to Chi-Chi and Bulma's
surprise, Karina did everything without flaw.

"You're a natural!" Bulma exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Chi-Chi agreed.

"Thanks guys." Karina smiled gratefully at them.

"Lets do it a couple more times just to make sure we got it down, alright?" Chi-Chi suggested.

"Yeah." The other two agreed.

~At Vegeta's Dojo~

Vegeta sat on his bed staring out the window. He was mentally preparing for the game. He knew he could not use his power in it, but
he wanted to make sure he knew all of the plays and runs. Winning this game would mean the championship for the Blue Moon Vipers.
{If I called the school something else in earlier chapters, sorry! ^_^'} He wanted to win quite badly, to show he was a great player.

He decided he had everything prepared in his mind, and got up and walked into the living room. He sat in his high-backed arm chair
and switched on the big screen tv. He switched to the local news to see if the game was in it. In front of the stadium, which Vegeta
knew well, was a reporter with large glasses and a small mustache. He was wearing a dark blue suit with light blue stripes going
down it. {ring any bells?}

"I'm here in front of the Blue Moon Stadium, our home team. Well mine anyway." He said into his microphone.

He cleared his throat and continued. "Lets go inside and take a look."

The camera followed the reporter inside and the view turned to a very large football field, surrounded by many rows seats.

"Here we are. Isn't it beautiful?" The reported said with a approving sigh. "This is where the Vipers and the Panthers will be playing
today for the championship..." He stopped abruptly, staring to the right.

The camera followed his gaze and rested on non-other than the drunk choreographer. She was snoozing lightly, laying across a whole
bleacher. Around her were many empty bottles of cheap whiskey. Her front was wet with it. The reporter blinked. Vegeta raised an eyebrow.
'She's still out there?' he thought in surprise.

"Um excuse me miss..." The reporter said hesitantly.

The woman snorted awake. "Who're you?" She shot the question at him, eyeing him suspiciously.

"Um...I'm the reported from-"

"Yer not with the government are ya?" She cut him off.

"Uh..." The reported looked at her with an eyebrow raised "No..."

She got heavily to her feet. She looked at her near-by briefcase. A smile played across her lips and she stumbled over to it. She opened it
and got out yet another bottle of whiskey. She gulped down almost the whole bottle before looking back to the reporter.

She smiled and shook the bottle temptingly. "Want a hic-drink?" She asked.

"Um, no thank you, miss what is your name?" He said putting the mic closer to her mouth.

She scowled and studied him. "Yer not with the-hic-government are ya?"

"No! I've already told you that!"

She smiled "How about givin' momma some sugar, handsome."

"No!" The reported yelled horrified, backing away. She came unsteadily towards him.

"Cut! Cut! Stop rolling!" He yelled to the camera man as she threw her arms around him.

The screen went blank and was replaced with a message that said 'We are having difficulties. Please stand by.' Vegeta turned off the tv.
'Poor guy.' He thought as he got up off of the chair.


~At Goku's~

Goku looked at the clock on the wall. It was 4:00pm. 'Better start getting ready.' he thought turning off his tv.
He went into his bedroom and decided to get on his gear. After dressing, he went to the mirror in his bathroom and looked at himself.
He had not put on his jersey yet, only his pads.

The tattoo of the snake wrapped slyly around the rose was clearly visible on his arm.
'Hmmm...' he thought and flexed his muscles. The snake seemed to move when his muscles bulged. "Heh Heh." He flexed and un-flexed his
muscles again and again. "It can dance." He laughed to himself.

{o_O}

~At Bulma's AGAIN~

Chi-Chi, Karina, and Bulma, all in their cheerleading uniforms, were fixing their hair in the mirror. Bulma put blue and black ribbons
in her hair {That's school colors} Chi-Chi applied some red lipstick to her lips and smiled, observing herself. Karina put only a little
bit of blue eyeshadow on her eyelids. Satisfied with themselves the girls went downstairs and hopped into Bulma's car.

They chatted about the guys and started imitating them.

"What's 2 plus 2?" Bulma said scratching her head in a Goku-like way.

Chi-Chi put on a heavy scowl "I think my face is stuck like this." She said in a deep voice like Vegeta's.

"What are these things sticking out of my head?" Bulma said taking her hands off the wheel and putting two fingers to her head as if she had
antennas.

"BULMA!!!" The two yelled as the car stared to veer off the road.

A dog was in the way. It looked at the car and froze there with fear. Bulma suddenly grabbed the wheel and jerked the wheel, turning it back
on the road. The dog felt a rush of wind as the back wheel rushed past it's head, only about an inch away.

"Stupid! Keep your hands on the wheel!!!" Chi-Chi yelled, smacking her in the back of the head.

"Ow! Sorry I didn't mean to!" Bulma said, not taking her eyes off of the road.

~At the stadium~

The huge parking lot was already filling with many cars. There was a lot of noise as all of the fans and parents went into the stadium, taking seats.
A group of guys were painted black and blue they each had a letter on their bare chests. They were all caring signs and #1 hands with large fingers
pointing into the air. The seats were already almost full.

A bus drove up near to one of the stadium and stopped. Many large teenage boys came out of the vehicle, all wearing green and yellow jerseys.
One with many scars on his face and long black hair that passed his shoulders, seemed buffer than the others. He smirked as he looked up at the large
stadium. Beside him a very short boy with no hair at all smiled up at him. His head seemed to blind the people around him. They all went in and to the
'Visitors' locker room.

Another bus came behind that one was filled with cheerleaders in green and yellow outfits. One with short blonde hair and startling blue eyes looked
around and frowned. She had wanted to wish her boyfriend, who happened to be the bald one, good luck before the game. Behind her a girl with long bright
blue hair, like Bulma's, came and giggled.

"I can't wait till our half time show, 18!" She squealed to the blonde.

"Calm down Marron." 18 told her. "It's only a show. The real reason we are here is to cheer on our guys."

"Yeah," Marron agreed, "especially because my Yamcha is on the team. We are so gonna win."

"Well Krillin is much cuter than Yamcha. Yamcha has all those ugly scars."

"Well a tleast he's not bald!!!"

"Well at least Krillin's not a flirt, I'm surprised you still have him."

"Well with this body," Marron flipped her hair and batted her eyelashes "I can't lose."

"Whatever, lets go." 18 rolled her eyes and led them inside the stadium.


~

Another large bus arrived in front of the main entrance. Many players in blue and black uniforms filtered out of the bus. Among them was Piccolo,
Goku, and Vegeta. They had all met at the coaches house for a pep talk and the bus had taken them to the game. Vegeta, Goku, and Piccolo smirked,
confident of their abilities. They knew none of the other players were half as strong and fast as they were. They went inside the 'Home' locker room.

Soon Bulma drove into a parking space near the main entrance. Chi-Chi, Karina, and Bulma all got out all in their cheerleading uniforms. They rushed
inside and gathered with the other blue-and-black uniformed cheerleaders. They all got in lines, ready to cheer on their team.

Bulma squinted across the field to see the other teams cheerleaders. She was shocked to see one that almost looked like her, except with longer hair.
She looked at Chi-Chi and caught her eye. She tilted her head in the direction of the other cheerleaders. Chi-Chi looked over and saw Marron, the girl
that looked much like Bulma. She shrugged and they got ready to cheer as thier team came out.

A voice came over the stadium, hushing all the talking fans and viewers. It echoed against the stands as it announced the game and its worth. It introduced
The teams and the players.

"With the Home team advantage, the Vipers from Blue Moon High!" it boomed. {Blue Moon, Orange Star, seethe connection?}

The fans erupted, all except those cheering on the other team, who booed loudly.

"And from the other side of town, the Panthers from West Side High!" the man announced over the loud speakers.

Another loud eruption from the fans.

"On the Vipers Zeek , Tyo, Shire , Vegeta, Piccolo, Goku, Kayodoki..." he announced as the players came out ontothe field.

Once finished with the Viper team he announced the Pathers. "Regini, Kumosaki, Reg, Krillin, Tysoko, Yamcha...."

Bulma gasped. Chi-Chi looked over at her and blinked. Bulma had her hands to her mouth and looked thoroughly shocked. Chi-Chi asked her what was wrong.

"That's my old boyfriend!" Bulma said, trying not to blush.

"Really?" Chi-Chi said surprised "I didn't know you had any boyfriends before Vegeta."

"Well we were together in Middle School and then I dumped him when we went to different schools, he was a jerk anyways."

"Hmm..." Bulma mumbled looking at the scar-faced young man "He's not very cute either. Where'd he get all those scars?"

Bulma shrugged. She smiled as she turned her head to her present boy friend, Vegeta. 'Hes much better than Yamcha.' She thought looking at
Vegeta's set face. 'He broke my heart too many times...' She held her arms, as if cold. Chi-Chi could tell by that gesture Bulma had
been hurt in the past by Yamcha. She could see it in hers eyes.

The game soon started and the Panthers kicked off. Piccolo caught the ball and ran down to his enzone, easily dodging the apposing tacklers.
He made an easy touch down and slammed the ball on the ground.

"Ha! Piece of cake!" He smirked as he lined up to kick off to the other team. Karina was cheering loudly. The three girls yelled "Piccolo! Piccolo!"

Zeek gave the ball a good boot and Yamcha caught the ball and ran full speed in the other direction. Vegeta, Piccolo, Goku, and everyone else was
surprised at his speed. Well, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Goku could easily match it it was just, they were surprised he was like them. Piccolo sensed he
had a great power level compared to other humans. He felt another one. He looked at the very short guy a few yards away, Krillin.

Vegeta tackled Yamcha to the ground and Yamcha seemed surprised he was able to do it. He got up and studied Vegeta with a scowl.
He walked off angrily.

The next two quarters the teams took turn scoring. Krillin and Yamcha scored for the Panthers, Goku, Piccolo, and Vegeta for the Vipers.
The first half ended. The score was Vipers: 36 Panthers: 18. The Vipers had a good lead in the game.
The players went to their separate sidelines. Marron ran to greet Yamcha but he caught a sight of Bulma and started walking towards her,
ignoring his girl friend. She growled and scowled heavily. She followed Yamcha's gaze and saw her. She snorted.

Bulma was about to congratulated Vegeta but suddenly Yamcha was in front of her. She looked up at him and her eyes went wide. She gulped.

He smirked before saying slyly, "Hey hottie, haven't seen you for a while."

She looked at her feet "Hello Yamcha."

"Hey baby, what's wrong? Did you miss me?" He took her in his arms. She tried to pull away but was not strong enough.

"No!" She yelled "I've found someone else."

Yamcha's smile faltered. "What?" He asked furiously, grabbing her arms tightly.

She grimaced in pain "Yamcha! Your hurting me!"

"No guys better than me!" He growled shaking her.


Goku noticed some guy holding Bulma tightly by the arms. He was shocked. He could tell he was hurting her. He elbowed Vegeta.

"Dude! Who's that guy hurting Bulma?" He asked, pointing.

"What?" Vegeta spun around, looking over where he was pointing. He heard Bulma cry in pain "Yamcha, stop! Ow!"

"Do you hear me? I'm the only guy for you!" He pulled her closer and pressed his lips against hers. She tried desperately to pull
away but didn't have the strength. Vegeta stormed over, face like thunder. He pulled Bulma away from Yamcha, breaking the kiss.
Yamcha growled.

"Who are you?" he asked angrily.

Tears were silently running down Bulma's cheeks. Vegeta looked down at her and held her closer to him and gently wiped the tears away.

"I'm her boyfriend." Vegeta growled.

"Not anymore." Yamcha growled and pulled Bulma away from Vegeta roughly by her arm.

"You!" Vegeta growled and punched Yamcha hard on the cheek. Yamcha fell sideways to the ground, letting go of Bulma, who quickly ran
back to Vegeta. He put his arm protectively around her. Yamcha groaned on the ground and Vegeta led Bulma away from him.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yes...I'm ok." She rested head on his chest.

"Now I believe its time to do your big show." Vegeta smirked. She looked up at him and smiled. She ran off and joined the other cheerleaders.

Music started and the whole squad danced to it. Three in the back launched another into the air, who spun wildly. In front Chi-Chi and Bulma
flipped past each other, doing many hand springs. Karina came in front and stood on her hands. She back flipped to her feet and then did the splits.
On both sides Bulma and Chi-Chi were launched high into the air and they flipped. They caught them and then they formed a triangle. Chi-Chi and
Bulma had Karina standing on their shoulders, hands in the air. The others did the splits and threw their hands into the air as the music ended.

Suddenly, the choreographer, still clearly drunk, jumped infont of the squad and danced wildly. She looked like a hill billy as she kicked her feet
unsteadily. She stopped and threw her hands into the air and hiccuped loudly.

The crowd was quiet but then suddenly erupted with applause. All the cheerleaders blinked.

She swayed off of the field and seemed to disappear into the stands. As the other cheerleaders did their show, she sneaked to the Viper's water dispenser,
a large bottle of scotch in her hand. She unscrewed the top and poured the whole thing in. She laughed insanely, running away. The coach, who had been
staring unblinkingly at the cheerleaders, hadn't noticed her spike the water. He grabbed a cup, filled it and drank it all in one large gulp. He smiled.
'This is much better than usual!' he thought, refilling his cup.

~

The next quarter started and Yamcha was back on his feet. He was pissed because of what had happened earlier. As soon as Vegeta got the ball Yamcha tackled
him full force. It didn't hurt too badly. Vegeta was much stronger than Yamcha. That just made Vegeta madder at him. Yamcha could see it and started to back
off a little. When Yamcha made an interception Vegeta clobbered into him, knocking him into the ground. Yamcha groaned in pain as he lifted himself to his
feet.

Piccolo and Goku scored again, doing a fancy 'Statue Of Liberty' play. Piccolo had received the ball, faked to the right and dodged two tacklers. He lifted
the ball into the air, as if it was the torch on the Statue of Liberty. Goku had jumped up and grabbed the ball from his hand and ran to the en zone, scoring.

At the fourth quarter, Piccolo, Vegeta, Goku, and the rest of the team went to the coach for play instructions. When they got there they found their fat coach
snoozing on the bench, empty water cup in hand. The water dispenser was right next to him, emptied. The players surrounded him, questioning looks on their faces.
Vegeta kicked him in the shin, snapping him awake.

"Huh? What-Who-When-Why-hic-Where?!" He said fastly. The team blinked.

He studied them all with a suspicious scowl "You boys ain't with the government are ya?" He asked.

"No coach, we are your football team." Piccolo said lifting an eye ridge.

"Okey-Dokey-Artichokey!" The coach said happily, jumping to his feet. He studied them again "As long as yer not with the government." He hiccuped loudly.

"Coach is druuunk." Goku whispered to his two comrades. They nodded, agreeing.

"Now here's what we-hic-do. We get the pig, grease it up niiice and good." The coach instructed. "Send it off and make the other team catch it!"

The whole team stared at him, eyebrows raised.

"Well-hic-whatter' ya waitin' for?" The coach hollered, swaying unsteadily. "Get that durn pig!"

The team left and Piccolo gathered them into a huddle. "Well we aren't greasing no pig," He growled "So lets run the 4-77 play. Got it?" They broke apart
and got in their positions. It worked like a charm. Piccolo yelled hut, got the ball ran backwards looking for the open man. He chucked the ball at Vegeta
who was clear. Vegeta jumped over Yamcha, dodging his attempt to tackle him at the legs. He smirked as he stepped on is back, making his way to the en zone.
He scored with one more leap over an apposing player. He slammed ball down.

"Yes!" He yelled with a triumphant smirk. On the side line the coach was going ballistic saying something like "Thatta' way to catch that-hic-pig!" Bulma was
cheering louder than all the other cheerleaders, smiling happily. The next time the Panthers got the ball Krillin scored three times. Then Yamcha got the ball
dodged Vegeta and jumped on him as he ran to his en zone. He scored. Then, when they had the ball back, Goku made along pass to Piccolo. Piccolo was about to
catch the ball when Krillin jumped up and intercepted it. When he neared Goku he dived between his legs and scored once again.

A tie. There was only 30 seconds left in the forth quarter. It was Vipers ball. Piccolo threw a lob pass to Vegeta, who ran like crazy to the other side.
Suddenly Yamcha caught him hard in the stomach. With a grunt he threw it at Goku before falling to the ground. Goku caught it and headed for the en zone.
Krillin ran at him and Goku jumped over him, since he was so small. He threw off other tacklers as he made his way to score. He jumped over a final player
and landed in the en zone. He raised the ball high into the air. "Yeah!"

The scoreboard now showed: Home: 48 Guests: 42. They had won! The cheerleaders went onto the field, surrounding the team as they congratulated them.
The crowd was going besirk, not to mention the coach and choreographer. They were dancing crazily yelling "They caught that durn pig good!" The coach ran out to
the team and licked Piccolo on the cheek. Piccolo backed away, a look of disgust and horror on his face.

"Googly Moogly!" He yelled, a vauge smile on his face. The choreographer licked Vegeta and Goku, who were disgusted.

"Great Balls Of Fire!" She yelled.

Everyone stared. Men in white suits came out onthe field with straight jackets. They got the coach and coreographer into them and leds them off the field. The team
continued celebrating now that that was over. Karina ran over to Piccolo.

"Great work," She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. He smiled. "Thanks."

Chi-Chi ran out to Goku and hugged him. "You did wonderful!" She congratulated. "You weren't so bad yourself." Goku winked.

Bulma ran out to Vegeta, threw her arms around his neck, and kissed him. His eyebrows went up. 'Wow. I hope we win our next game.' He thought, running his fingers through her hair.

Yamcha suddenly ripped them apart. "Shes MINE!" He growled.

Bulma was pissed and fed up with his crap. "You WISH!" She kicked him where it hurts the most. He groaned in pain and fell stiffly on his side. Vegeta was like this -> O.O

'Better not do that if we ever break up.' He thought smirking. He put his arm around her shoulders and smiled at her.
