Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ FOOD FIGHT AT CAPSULE CORP/THANKSGIVING PARTY ❯ I Know What Boys Want.... ( Chapter 1 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Hello to all! Okay, I figured there are always sequels and when I wrote this there was a demand to follow up to my Halloween Series, and so I thought I would do things to match the different Holidays.....It was pointed out that perhaps I should try to get as many correlating Holidays as is possible....the Japanese do have a Thanksgiving day of sorts, they DO celebrate Christmas in some homes, but it is not a National Holiday....the current Emperor's Birthday,which is December 23rd will take a more important role and is a National Holiday. New Years is Celebrated about the same time and is a big Holiday.
Now the National Holiday that is closest to our Thanksgiving is their LaborDay/Thanksgiving.......for them it is more considered a 'Labor Day'. This year on Nov. 23 they will celebrate Labor/Thanksgiving Day, which is called "Kinro Kansha No Hi". For further explanations go to: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2062.html - This site is a Japanese guide to their holidays and an explanation and a bit of history. I will be using the Japanese name in the story instead of the word Thanksgiving.
Disclaimers: Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT, etc. belong to Akiya Toriyama, TOEI Entertainment, FUNimation, Viz Communications, Irwin Toys, Pioneer (for videos of early DBZ), etc. etc. The Part one subtitle is a song by The Waitresses, so it belongs to them....Monique, Ursula, Dina, Devon, Jason, the Chief, and Madeline are my creations that I can manipulate (*evil laugh*).
This is early because there is a major event going to occur in the story line in 4 weeks......well, read, read.....you'll find out.....
FOOD FIGHT AT CAPSULE CORP/THANKSGIVING PARTY - Part One: ' I Know What Boys Want....*'
Bulma had still been feeling the afterglow of the Halloween Party after all the excitement died down. The look on Yamcha's face had been priceless....a moment she would really treasure! Of course, the wayward Yamcha had leaked word out that he would be on an 'extended training session' with Puar, and would return before the appointed time when the Androids were due.
~~Serves that bakayaro right! Now he knows what its like to be humiliated in front of all your friends! Well, I won't have to see the kusohead anytime soon. And Vegeta had been a nice little bonus,~~ a deliciously wicked smile formed just thinking about their afterparty 'celebration'.
It had been only a half hour ago that she had just gotten off the phone with Jason and Monique; they had set the date for their wedding and Monique was ecstatic! Of course, Bulma was asked to be a maid of honor. The other girls would also be attendants, so it was going to be quite a big affair. She had also asked Bulma to plan out the whole wedding....Monique really didn't have alot of money to hire a wedding coordinator, so she thought Bulma would be perfect to fill the role. If the Halloween Party was any indication of her skills, then she would be better off with her than a paid consultant. Bulma agreed, and immediately got down to the business at hand. They would use Capsule Corp. as a 'command center' of sorts to deal with fittings for bridesmaids dresses, tuxedos, and such . Madeline, Bulma's corporate secretary and all around 'girl-friday', could take most of her business calls, and forward any special work home. That would not only free her time up for Monique's wedding plans, but it would also allow her to deal with the Holiday Season coming up.......going into the office once a month would be good enough until after the New Year.
Now the only thing that could be a major problem was Vegeta. Jason had already already chosen his best man, and attendants - most of them were guys from the Gingertown Precinct....and of course the Chief was his best man. But Monique asked that the girls each bring a date, since all of Jason's attendants were married. The wives would most certainly want to be the ones dancing with their spouses at the reception and a major problem for Bulma was getting Vegeta there as her date. The other girls wouldn't really have a problem, since some of the Senshi was to be their escorts!
After the Halloween Party, Tien had taken a great liking to the Butterfly. Dina was quite a 'looker' even before her rather revealing outfit, and she had a wonderful personality. Both of them seemed to share the same outlooks on life. Krillian was absolutely infatuated with that little blond, Ursula; their love of simple things had drawn them together. He also didn't seem to mind that she was not quite 'quick of wit'. Devon had continued to share a close relationship with Piccolo....enough that they spent some time together when he wasn't sparring with Goku and Gohan. Vegeta, however, was going to prove to be her headache.... ~~ Kami, when isn't he a headache~~ Bulma thought with a wry smile. He was a tough nut to crack when it came to socializing among 'these weakling humans and attending their baka functions'..........Although their 'relationship' had really started brewing, it still was a bit tenuous at times. Everything with Vegeta was touch and go.............and then it happened...............Bulma got a wonderful idea.......a wonderfully, wicked and sneaky idea.....Dialing furiously, she called Monique back...
"Moshi, moshi!" came the cheery, redhead's voice.
"Hey Monique, its Bulma again!"
"Woman! Did we forget something?"
~~Kami, sometimes it seems like everyone hangs out with Vegeta...I DO have a name, and it is not 'Woman'~~ she thought crossly.
"Well, I just got a great idea! My folks are gonna be gone on a cruise until after February, like I told you earlier......and since you set your wedding date for November 25th, I had a brilliant thought......why not have a Wedding Shower/Kinro Kansha No Hi - Celebration! We could have dinner, dancing, and you would have gifts to open of course; AND it could make for a great Rehearsal Supper......what do you think?"
"Well, I don't know Bulma.....are you sure? I would hate you to go through a big expense just for me and Jason....I mean we'd love it, but you're already going to a lot of trouble as it is helping me plan this........"
"Look, I insist! You know that guy that I like...?"
"Uhm, yeah, the spikey hair fella.....Vegeta, right?"
"Yeah, him. Well, he's sort of my significant other right now. The only way I'm gonna get that stubborn, anti-social baka to go anywhere with me is to trick him......and to'sweeten the deal' with food......"
"Tell you what, Bulma, hang on a second.....Jason's here and I'll ask him and see what he says....okay?"
"Sure, no problem...."
Monique turned to Jason, who had just returned to the kitchenette of her little apartment to get his second cup of coffee.
"Jason, listen, I got Bulma on the phone......" her hand covering the mouthpiece of the receiver.
"Babe, I just though you hung up with her...."
"I did, but she's called back! She wants to give us a huge Shower/Kinro Kansha No Hi Party/Rehearsal Supper. I told her it's an awful lot of expense, but I don't want to hurt her feelings! She really is insisting....something that will help her with her new boyfriend..."
"Oh....you mean that odd fella that's kinda distant....Well, babe, you know I gotta soft spot for Bulma. She made it all possible for us to get married and she IS giving us quite a generous wedding present.....I really think if it means that much to her, we should let her go ahead...."
"Well, that's what I was thinking...."
Monique took her hand away from the receiver, and spoke,"Hey Bulma? You still there, hon'?"
"Yeah! So, what do you guys say? Is it a date?"
"Well, Bulma, you know we can't say no to you.......You're on!!"
"Okay, this is what we're gonna do......." and with that, Bulma outlined her plans for the Celebration; plans which would most certainly snag Vegeta into attending the Wedding as her date......Knowing her Saiyan Ouji, he would be unable to refuse food and the other things she had in store......and if he was as 'well behaved' as he had been for Halloween, well.........

Vegeta let out a series of spectacular Gallic Gun attacks on the mechanised bots floating in the gravity room. "Attack level: Maximum output...Level 10 series A, Beginning....." announced the computerized female voice. He was up to a new all time level in the Gravity Room; it was now set at 400, which was something that lamebrained Kakkarot had never even attained. What was still beyond his understanding was the fact that he had still not reached Super Saiyan. ~~It's because I have not trained properly with all these kuso distractions!! That damned baka onna is the main problem!~~ he thought grimly.
It was going to take more strenous training sessions, for longer periods of time and absolutely NO WOMAN DISTRACTIONS! Of course, this would cause a few problems with his baka mate, and she was sure to scream about it (Kami, how that hurt the ears!).....As much as he didn't want to admit it, she was his mate. They had bonded in so many ways, but he was not about to let that interfere with the more important things he had to attend to.....Super Saiyan being one, and beating Kakkarot for another...
He had been training ever since 5AM, and his stomach, true to form, announced that training was just going to have to wait. With that he grabbed the towel he always kept nearby, and slung it around his sweaty neck. He then hit the switches reducing the gravity level, and disengaging the light system. He strode quickly over to the massive Gravity Room door, opening it with ease. Stepping out into the evening air, he took a deep breath....the air was cool and crisp with the promise of winter coming....he locked the Gravity Room door and keyed in the security code. It was as he was turning to go to the main complex, to get a shower......... tha'ts when he felt a since of dread sneak up on him...........as if something BIG was going to happen.........something that would involve him....... ~~Shimatta, it figures....~~ and with that he continued toward his fate......
