Little Saiyalings – The College Years
An Anime Fanfic

Edited By: Bradley Barth
Authors Note: Although the fanfic focuses mostly on the story of characters from the Dragonball and Dragonball Z universe, characters from other anime will appear as well. This could include anybody, but only those of you who know anime will know the names. Either way, I think that everybody will get the humor. And for those of you who know of the comic "Little Saiyalings" by CDC, this will be a special treat…as this is some what of a tribute. It is also important to note that for the most part, these characters will just be the characters without their DBZ strength or powers. So keep an open mind and most of all…
Have fun!
Chapter 1: Vegeta's Curse
It is a bright summer day. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and normally you could hear the sound of children playing in the streets…except today is the day that the thunderous blare of lawnmowers is all that is audible. Everyone in this neighborhood seems to be mowing their lawn today. One lawnmower seems to thunder above all. This lawnmower belongs to the Vegeta household.
Vegeta is a muscular, average height young man. He has long vertical hair with a deep pointed hairline. To everyone else, this hair appears to add about a foot and a half to his height. He is fairly handsome and the girls who walk by as he is mowing his lawn notice him, but he pays them no attention. He doesn't care about them; one would even go so far to say that he considers them a bother. He doesn't realize that maybe if he didn't wear that wife beater all the time (an A-frame T-shirt for all of you who don't know), that he probably wouldn't be noticed.
As he continues to mow the lawn, he notices the mailman approaching from down the street. The mailman enters the yard and approaches Vegeta, who shuts off the lawnmower as well as his Discman to meet him.
"Nice day, eh Vegeta?" the mailman says.
Vegeta just rolls his eyes at the mailman. "Whatever."
"So are ya gettin' ready for college?" the mailman asks.
"Enough with the small talk, public servant man!" Vegeta yells, "Just give me the mail!"
The mailman grabs a rubber-banded pack of letters, which Vegeta snatches from him. As the mailman is going to tip his hat in politeness, Vegeta turns on his heel and switches on his Discman. All that is heard from the headphones is "Exit light, enter night…"
"Rude little shit," the mailman torts.
Hearing this, Vegeta turns around. "Go away old man or else I'll pound you into my lawn so far that you'll look like a lawn gnome!" He shakes his fist, turns around, and walks toward his porch as the mailman proceeds to run away.
As his is walking he begins flipping through the mail. Most of it is labeled for his father, King Vegeta. Two of the envelopes are marked "Prince Vegeta." These are for him. He takes these two out of the stack and walks into the house, dropping the letters that didn't belong to him on the kitchen table as he approaches his room.
Upon arrival, Vegeta sits on his bed and looks at the envelopes. His room is well furnished. It is immaculately clean, lots of posters on the wall, and a great stereo. He flips it on. Both of the envelopes say "North City University" on them. Figuring that it is important to his education, he opens the first envelope. The header on the top of the letter says "ΒΩΩΜ: BOOM! (Beta Omega Omega Mu)
"What the…" He reads on… "Nuclear Physics Major Fraternity, huh?" Vegeta crumples up the letter. "Fraternities…like they could be good enough for me to grace them with my presence."
He begins to open the next envelope. It says "Dorm Room Assignment." He proceeds to read the letter:
Dear Prince Vegeta,
We have completed the dorm room selection process. You have been assigned a random room with a random roommate. This assignment cannot be changed until spring semester.
Your Assignment:
President's Hall
Room 123
Roommate: Goku, Orange City High School
See you in the fall!
NCU Housing
Vegeta looked at the letter…re-reading "Roommate: Goku, Roommate: Goku, Roommate: Goku…" It is all that he can think about. Finally, it becomes clear to him.
"Noooo! Not Kakarott! Anyone but Kakarott!" Vegeta lets out a large scream. He punches his bed, shaking the whole house more than the volume of his scream just did. (He's lucky that his father isn't home).
"It's my curse," he grunts.
