Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Vegeta's Tail ❯ Birthday Party ( Chapter 12 )

Disclaimer: I don't own that TV show. What was it again?

Chapter 12

It had been two days since Bulma had been glued on the ceiling. Vegeta sat outside the capsule house. He had been barred ever since then. He had of course broken back in every night to claim Bulma; but she had chucked him out straight after. He stuck his chopsticks back into his noodles. He was sulking but in a prince like manner.

"It means death if you leave your chopsticks like that."

Vegeta turned to see Bulma at the door of the house. "Death is no stranger." He snarled.

"My, you're in a major grump today." Bulma said sitting beside him. "It is your son's birthday party today."

"It is another meaningless human celebration." He spat.

"You do know we're having a party?" Bulma asked. "You are invited of course."

"I don't care." Vegeta growled.

"So what do Saiyans celebrate?"

"We have deathdays."

"Isn't that pointless, you're dead." Bulma said. "If a warrior dies in glorious battle then you should celebrate his deathday."

"So all his or her living relatives have a party in his honour?" Bulma asked.

"A feast and a hunt, we saiyans do not party." Vegeta said.

"I can tell." Bulma said smiling. "You can join the feast if you like."

"Are you cooking?" Vegeta said looking at her.

"I've done a bit, but my mother did the majority." Bulma said, she waited for the snide remark.

"Then I shall eat what your mother made." Vegeta said smirking. "I do not feel like dropping unconscious anytime soon."

"Don't give me a reason and you won't." Bulma warned. She heard Vegeta chuckled. She looked over to him. "Gohan and Picollo are coming over as well. They'll want to spar."

"Then I shall spar and win." Vegeta said smirking. "Kakorrot's brat doesn't use his full potential I shall easily win."

"You can't beat him to a pulp his mother's coming as well."

"The harpy?"

"Yes the . . . I mean she isn't a harpy." Bulma snapped. "She's highly emotional right now."

"Is that what you call it." Vegeta growled.

"Hey Vegeta." Vegeta glowered down at the smiling Bulma.

"What woman?"

"We just had a conversation." Bulma said. "There's hope for us yet."

"I don't think it'll last for a month in space." Vegeta said. "You do know where you're going?"

"I asked Dende to give me directions." Bulma said. "He told me all the stars and constellations around his planet I've worked it out from there."

"Good because nothing is going to save your worthless hide if we get lost." Vegeta growled.

"It saddens me to see your lack of faith in me." Bulma said sarcastically. "Now go get changed, everyone should be arriving soon."

"I'll do no such thing." Vegeta crossed his arms.

"You will." Bulma insisted.

"Won't."

"You will too Monkey!"

"I will not bitch!"

"Jackass!"

"Cow from hell!"

"Bastard!"

"Hoe." They glared at each other. The crackling silence was only broken by Bulma laughing.

"What's so funny?" Vegeta growled.

"I honestly thought we might have a decent conversation for once and it ended up a name calling match."

"You started it." Vegeta grumbled.

"Just get out of your training clothes." Bulma sighed. "Our guests will be here any moment now."

"I never invited them." Vegeta muttered under his breath. He marched inside, slamming the door shut in protest.

"Why does he have to be so pig headed?" Bulma said aloud. She stormed away, towards the Capsule Corps gardens. A huge tent had been erected and she could see some of her friends had arrived already. Bulma began to think happy thoughts and tried to smile.

"Hi Yamcha, Puar." Bulma yelled.

"Hi Bulma!" They both said to her.

"Wow, you remembered the presents!" Bulma said excited. She grabbed them off her friends. "I'm making a pile for Trunks."

"You know he's not going to remember anything." Yamcha said.

Bulma glared at him. "My son is a genius like me."

"Ah, c'mon Bulma you know I didn't mean that. It's just you could give him a pile of dirt and he wouldn't know the difference." Yamcha said, desperate to cover his ass.

"Yamcha you better be quiet." Puar warned her friend. "You're digging yourself into a hole."

"Yes, Yamcha you better stop now." Bulma hissed. "I want my son to have the best first birthday and a dirt isn't on the menu."

Luckily for Yamcha, Chi Chi and Gohan had decided to visit. Her father King Ox was driving them in.

"Hi, Bulma." They all said.

"Hey." Bulma said running over to her new guests.

Yamcha breathed a sigh of relief and moved to the food.

"Wow, this is really cool." Gohan said as he saw the tent and barbecue. "Where's the birthday boy?"

"He's with his Grandma." Bulma said pointing to her mother.

"I made him a present." Gohan said holding up a small parcel.

"I'm sure he'll love it." Bulma laughed.

"Gohan has been so happy since he knew about the party." Chi Chi said. "Thanks for inviting us."

"It's no problem Chi, we Saiyan wives have to stick together." Bulma said. "I know we're not close buddies but I bet that could change."

Chi Chi smiled even though she looked like she was going to cry again. "Everyone changes." She sniffed.

"C'mon Chi Chi it's time for you to have a good time." She said while dragging her to a bench. "Just sit down and let us cook for you."

"You're cooking?" Chi Chi asked.

"I can do barbecues." Bulma huffed. The rest of the guests arrived except for Krillin and his mystery date.

"I bet he's bluffing." Yamcha said as he dug into a burger. "I bet he's just stalking someone."

"Krillin's a pervert but he's not THAT bad." Bulma yelled.

"Um, Krillin has a date?" Gohan said amazed. "Is it that Marron again?"

"I asked him that one." Bulma said, helping herself to some chicken kebabs. "It's not Marron."

"I think I would rip her head off if I saw her again." Chi Chi said as she tore a piece of meat from a chicken. Everyone was silent for a second, not making eye contact with Chi Chi.

"So long as she has a nice set it doesn't matter." Roshi said after the long silence.

"Tight buns is a must." Oolong said joining in with the perverse conversation. Bulma glanced over to her son, oblivious to it all. He was working his way through all the food she had set up in front of him. Trunks was happy with all the attention. A paper party hat was on his head.

"Pwince of Saiyans." Trunks chirped as he saw his father. Bulma looked over to see Vegeta helping himself to the food.

"That's so cute." Chi Chi said smiling.

"Of course he is." Bulma boasted. "He's my son."

"He is cute." Said a monotone voice. Everyone froze and turned. Android 18 was standing holding a parcel, beside her Krillin was red faced and rubbing the back of his head.

"Hey guys, this is my..um .. friend, 18." Krillin stumbled. There was silence as everyone just stared. There was a snort from Vegeta and he walked over to the human and the android.

"I suppose this is the present for my brat." Vegeta said to 18.

"That's right, his birthday present." 18 said staring straight a Vegeta. Vegeta snatched it off her and placed it in front of Trunks. The baby instantly began playing with it. The shiny paper had caught his eye.

"He seems to like it." Vegeta said. he walked back to the food stand. The group exchanged glances between 18, Vegeta and themselves. No-one was sure what had just happened.

Krillin lead his 'friend' to an empty seat and held out her chair. 18 sat down and smiled at Krillin. "Thank you." She said to him. Krillin went a deeper shade of red and sat beside her.

"So." Krillin said. "Cool party for a one year old."

"Yeah.. I want nothing but the best." Bulma said, still looking at 18.

18 was looking at Chi Chi who was still tearing up a chicken. "You're pregnant." She said eventually. The males in the group (except for Vegeta and Gohan) all face faulted and looked at Chi Chi.

"Whoa, Goku did it twice!" Master Roshi said.

"Go Goku!" Yamcha said. "Hey, congratulations Chi Chi."

"Um, thanks." She said.

"I can't believe you guys didn't notice she was pregnant." Bulma said.

"Men!" 18 snorted.

"They're completely ignorant to us woman." Chi Chi said agreeing with 18. "Goku didn't realise I was pregnant with Gohan until I told him six months on. He just thought I was getting fat!"

"I bet you beat him up for that one." Bulma laughed.

"I'm not a husband beater." Chi Chi protested. "He just got me mad sometimes!"

The men shifted uncomfortably and managed not to annoy the women any further. The party continued through the afternoon. Bulma kept beside Trunks, making sure he was enjoying himself. Opening his presents and thanking everyone for him. Vegeta stayed away under the safety of a nearby tree. 18 sat at the table, every now and then she would say something. Whatever she said had no emotion to it, but when she spoke Krillin was hanging on her every word.

"So you think you might be able to have a baby..um one day?" Krillin asked 18 after she revealed her human origins.

"I guess, I've never thought of motherhood before. Thanks to Gero I don't know what I've thought." 18 hissed the last part about Gero.

"Ya know I could get my doctor to check you over." Bulma offered. "It wouldn't cost you anything and at least you'd know if you could have kids."

"Hmm." 18 hummed. "I might consider your offer...but not just now."

"Okay." Bulma said smiling. "Just know the offer's still open."

"I should leave now." 18 said getting up. "I have to find my brother." She seemed uncomfortable.

"Um, okay I'll escort you." Krillin said jumping out of his seat.

"That's very sweet of you." 18 said. Krillin blushed and for a second everyone saw 18 glance at Krillin in an almost human way. Then the look was gone and the emotionless android flew away, followed by Krillin.

"Wow, if only Mirari Trunks could see that." Bulma gasped.

"I still don't believe it." Yamcha said.

"I agree, she was a tight little package." Master Roshi said. "Who thought Krillin could pull that."

"I don't think he's pulled yet." Bulma added thought fully.

"The bitch still seems stuck on being an android."

Everyone turned to Vegeta who had said it.

"What do you mean?" Bulma asked.

"She's not going to let baldy in without a long fight. She left because she felt she was getting too human." Vegeta said. He then stood up and walked back to the house.

"Well guys thanks for coming." Bulma said realising the party was now over. The main entertainment having left. "Continue if you like I've got to get ready for our honeymoon."

"You're going on a honeymoon?" Yamcha yelled. "How did you convice Vegeta of that?!"

"Chill out Yamcha." Master Roshi said. "Hey Bulma, ya gonna bring back a video of your honeymoon?"

"YOU LECHEROUS OLD PERVERT!" Bulma shouted. She raised her hand to hit him but Gohan had grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"You don't want Trunks to see you getting violent do you?" He said.

"Lech'rus ol' pervert." Trunks said pointing at Master Roshi. Bulma picked up her son and walked in the direction of Vegeta.

"See ya guys, we should do this again sometime." Bulma sighed. "I really should let Trunks get his nap." The group watched her go.

"She shouldn't let her son talk those words." Chi Chi muttered.

"I don't think you can tell either of the parents what to do." Yamcha said.

***********

Bulma cuddled Trunks tight.

"Oh honey you're going to miss him." Her mother said.

"I don't want to leave my baby." Bulma cried. "You have to video tape everything."

"Sure thing." Dr Briefs said from the space craft. He was giving it one final system check. "We'll have cameras set to record him all the time."

Bulma had began to cry. "My baby..."

"Now you've got everything haven't you?" Her dad asked.

"Yes..." Bulma hissed through her tears. "I packed everything last night." Vegeta was leaning against the wall. It had been a tiresome afternoon and he didn't get to spar with anyone as Bulma promised. Chi Chi had ordered Gohan not to fight and Picollo hadn't shown. There was no way he'd challenge 18 he was sure he would destroy her. The android had no ki to read he could easily smash her without knowing she'd reached her limit. Plus she didn't seem to have any will to fight.

"Can we leave yet?" He snarled.

"Fine, we will." Bulma shouted. "Just remember when I miss my son's first steps I'll blame you!"

"The brat is not going with us!" Vegeta shouted back. Trunks was crying now, he wasn't sure what was going on but it seemed bad.

"Now look what you've done!" Bulma yelled.

"The longer we stay, the longer you'll cry like a big baby!" Vegeta angrily said.

"Bye Mama." Bulma whispered hugging Mrs. Briefs. "You take care of Trunks."

"Just make sure you both come back safe." Her mom said as she began to cry. Vegeta rolled his eyes and picked Bulma up. At the rate her goodbyes were going they would never get to New Namek.

"Bye everyone." Bulma cried from Vegeta's shoulder.

"Oh it's just so romantic." Mrs. Briefs sobbed. Bulma's parents got to a safe distance and began waving."Oh Teddi, I wish that was us." Mrs. Briefs sighed.

"I know Bunni, we're left holding the baby.... again!" Dr. Briefs said as Trunks cried harder with the loud engine noises. The spaceship blasted off into the sky. What was left of the party watched as it disappeared quickly into the sky. A trail of smoke scarring the sky.

It sucks at the moment but I'm busy with the construction. The main reason is in case Vegeta's Tail gets taken off fanfiction.net. I know my luck is going to run out at some point. They seem to be cracking down on the lemon content in their site. So I have a little back up for that moment if it ever comes. So join me next chapter when we follow Bulma and Vegeta into space. Will they get to New Namek without incident? What do you think? Till next chapter.
