*Nifty pre-story Author's Note: Consider this a tiny break away from my other story, `Breakdown' (if you are reading that as well). I have decided to revive my want for a high school fic. So here it is.

To Each His Own

By Princess Ayeka

Chapter One: Monday Mornings Suck!

He stared up at the white-faced clock on his wall. He could swear that it had a mind of its own, knowing that its sole purpose was to torment him to no end. And that it did, carrying out the duty until it fell off the wall or ran out of battery power. Neither had happened yet.

Rather than stare at the demented clock, Vegeta put his arms behind his head and laid down, staring now at the white ceiling of his bedroom. With a deep sigh, he began to contemplate the day ahead of him and how monotonous it probably would be.

Mondays were always boring, especially school days. Nothing interesting happened on Mondays and everyone was in that mellow, don't-mess-with-me kind of mood. But it still came every time after Sunday and just twenty-four hours before Tuesday.

But before he could think of anything else that irked him, something coerced Vegeta to glance back at the demonic mechanism. With an annoyed groan, Vegeta got up from his bed and silently padded out the bedroom door. Though he hated doing it, Vegeta got up twenty minutes earlier than usual and began to start his day with a warm shower.

Of course, those thoughts were dashed as well when five minutes into the shower, the water began to get cold. He made a mental not to hurt someone when he found out who had used most of the hot water.

Within another ten minutes, Vegeta found himself comfortably walking downstairs in a pair of dark blue designer jeans and a red t-shirt. He strolled into the kitchen and began making himself some toast, not even paying attention to the two people at the dining table. He also neglected to notice the person foolishly smiling at him from behind.

Vegeta turned around to the beaming face of none other than his brother-in-law, Goku, who seemed a little too cheery for a Monday morning. He tried not to make eye contact with the taller guy, but it unfortunately could not be helped.

"Good morning, Vegeta!" Goku chirped happily. Much to his dismay, he only received a glare and a low growl from the other person. Vegeta turned back around when the toaster announced that it had finished preparing his toast.

As Vegeta bit off and chewed a piece of buttered toast, he stared at his copy of the morning newspaper. Nothing interesting was happening at all in the world, he realized, and he then got up from the table. Goku followed Vegeta to his doorway and watched as the other guy picked up a AlgebraII book from his organized desk.

"What do you want now?" Vegeta asked angrily, already pissed off at the world this morning.

Goku was taken aback by Vegeta's rude question, but did not ask where it came from. "I was just wondering-"

But as soon as the words flew from his mouth, a shiny CD gleamed in Goku's face. Vegeta already knew what he was going to ask for, and due to the circumstances, gave it to him. He didn't feel like dealing with a whiny baby for the ten minutes that he had to walk to school.

"Are you ready yet?" Vegeta asked angrily as he watched Goku gather everything he required for the day ahead.

Goku smiled widely and nodded, standing up and waiting for Vegeta to go out the front door of his home. Vegeta, in response, growled at the other man's childishness and walked out the door and began walking down the street, placing his headphones on his head and not caring about the rest of the world for ten minutes.
