He was lured into the kitchen by his overpowering sense of smell and the sweet scent of freshly baked chocolate. Upon entering the kitchen he could feel his mouth start to salivate at the sensory overload. The smell alone was all too enticing, but when he spotted how many trays of the brown candy were strewn around the counter tops; he almost couldn't stop himself.
"Oh, Vegeta."
The sickening sweet voice of his mother-in-law stopped his hand from grabbing a tray.
"Did you want some chocolates?"
His eyes glanced down at the hardened chocolate, that he now noticed were molded into shapes and had sticks stuck in them.
"These are all going to Trunks' school for their Halloween party, but if you'd like some for yourself I don't mind making a few more batches."
Was it really that time of year already? He had been noticing the leaves changing and the air getting cooler, but he had never really taken an interest in all these human holidays. Although, he could see the appeal to most of them. It still didn't mean he wanted to join them. Well, not unless Bulma made him, but this particular holiday he knew was one that she had never asked him to participate in. Perhaps it was the goofy outfits or "costumes" as they were called that she knew he would be offended by, or maybe it was because this holiday seemed to be designed for children.
Which was something he didn't understand. Most of the time Bulma would yell at Trunks for eating too much candy and other sugar induced treats, but on this one night she let him dress up and get a sack full of those items for free! It was just another reason he could never understand these Earthlings and their contradicting ways.
"Grandma!" Trunks barreled into the kitchen.
Vegeta's eyes widened a bit when he saw what Trunks was wearing. Armor, much like the one Bulma had crafted for him when the androids were still a threat.
"Dad!" The boy looked up at his father in surprise. "Isn't this cool?" His eyes lit up as he pulled at the blue body suit that covered him from neck to feet. "Mom said this is what you used to wear all the time!"
Vegeta took in the pristine white chest armor and golden straps. "It is. Why are you wearing it now?"
