It's been a very (very) long time since I've written any Dragonball Z fics... and I'm not entirely sure if this counts. But, tis the season! Merry Christmas, everyone!


How a Certain Saiyan Prince Ruined Christmas and then Saved it

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through C.C.
not a soul was stirring, except Scratch's fleas.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that jolly Santa soon would be there.

Trunks and Bra were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of countless gifts danced in their heads.
And Bulma in her nightgown, and I in my shorts,
had just begun playing a small game of sorts.

When outside there was such a hullaballo
I had no doubt t'was Frieza and the crew.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Readied a ki beam and fired with a blast.

The ki on the breast of the new-fallen snow
gave the luster of midday to objects below,
when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a flaming gold sleigh and eight angry reindeer

With a merry old driver, so dead yet so thick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
Regretting the ki blast, I leapt to the ground,
Tossed on his red jacket and got in with a bound:

"Now, dammit!
Run faster!
This fur suit is prickly!
Blast this damn holiday;
Let's get this done quickly!
Get this sled in the air!
Not a moment to lose!
Let's get these gifts delivered
'Fore his death hits news!"

As Z-senshi that meet a sworn-enemy fly,
when they meet with a ki attack, rush to the sky
so to Kakarott's house the reindeer they flew,
with the sleigh full of treats, and a Saiyan Prince, too.

To Chichi, a wok; Goten, a raucous gong,
and Gohan, I left tips on how to be strong.
Though the list said Kakarott had been a good boy,
with a smirk, I left him some coal instead of a toy.

When Son's house had finished, to the next house I flew,
o'er in the mountains of Tien and Chiaotsu.
I quirked my eyebrow upon reading the list,
as one asked a teddy bear to replace one he missed.

His eyes—how they twinkled! His grin was so merry!
Tien and Chiaotsu thought him cute as a cherry!
Feeling the moment to be a bit too gay,
without waste I sped off to the house of Kame.

There an excess of porn I tossed to the crowd,
though Master Roshi through the other senshi plowed.
His shows he was eager to get his hands on tight,
the reason for his vigil through most of the night.

While an argument erupted amongst the rest,
to Kami's Lookout the reindeer headed with zest.
Only two cups of water were due to the pair,
plus a cave for Piccolo, big enough to share.

Now was the time to return from a night's work,
so I scoffed at Kami and turned with a jerk.
The flight back went quickly, and soon I was home,
where I presented my wife with tickets to Rome.

And to my children, I left the rest of the treats,
while the evidence I went to stash in the streets.
And I shouted this phrase as I rode out of sight:
"Blasted Christmas, thank Kami it's only one night!"


And that's the end of that chapter... please review!
