The sun was shining its golden rays generously upon Capsule Corporation while the wind was gently blowing and caressing the land with its power. The first day of summer had finally arrived with long waited anticipation. It seemed like a perfect day. A perfect day for a BBQ picnic that is.
"Goku! Vegeta! Lunch is almost ready!" Bulma, the azure haired woman, bellowed.
Because of the intense heat, she was forced to wear navy shorts that slightly were above her knees and a plain sleeveless blouse.
"If you two don't get down here this instant then you're both going to regret it!" Chichi screamed at the top of her lungs so the whole world could hear.
Instead of her usual outfit, she was dressed in casual clothes with her shadowy hair tied up in a pony tail. Oooh those boys are gonna get it if they don't come down SOON! She was grilling some meat for the burgers while Bulma was trying to learn her style of cooking.
Boy! How does Chichi do it!? She's a great cook and a wonderful mom.
Bulma silently thought to herself.-~-~-~--~-~
FOOD! Finally! I've been waiting forever!
With that thought Goku quickly flew down but was stopped when Vegeta flew in front of him, blocking his path.They had been sparing in the air a few feet away from where Chichi and Bulma were.
"Kakarot where do you think you're going!?" Vegeta angrily inquired, "We're still sparing you baka!"
"But Chichi said lunch was ready and its been over 10 whole minutes since the last time I ate!" Goku innocently stated. His stomach wildly grumbled in agreement. "And besides, I don't want Chichi mad at me again."
"You're really pathetic Kakarot. Who gives a damn about your stupid mate. We weren't finished sparing. You shouldn't start things if you don't want to finish it," Vegeta yelled in disgust.
"B-b-but Vegeta..I'M REALLY HUNGRY!" Goku whined.
"Hmph. Food is all you think about. You couldn't last a day without it even if your life depended on it" Vegeta muttered under his breath.
"I could too Vegeta!" protested Goku, but his stomach was shouting the exact opposite.
"Do you want to bet on it 3rd class?" No answer. "I'll take that for a 'yes' bakayarou. Your challenge is not to eat OR drink anything for 24 hours or else I shall win the bet"
Bet!? How did I get myself into this! NO FOOD! That's crazy but...then again.. I could finally earn some respect.
Goku quietly thought."If I win the bet then you Vegeta have to...um.. dress up in one of Bulma's dresses for an entire day and for the rest of the week are not allowed to scowl, and.. oh yeah you have to say nice things to everyone." Goku quickly spat out while chuckling at the thought of Vegeta actually doing that, "What happens if YOU win the bet?"
Vegeta was speechless for a second. He really has lost his mind! Imagine me, the mighty Prince of the great Saiya-jin race dressed up in a stupid girly dress. NO WAY in hell was that ever going to happen!
Then he smirked and added "If I... I mean WHEN I win the bet. You will be forced to be my servant for a month. Meaning you must let me beat you to a pulp when I desire to and whenever you address me you shall call me by my rightful name 'Great Prince Vegeta' got it? I hope your insignificant brain could comprehend that. And also, you can't tell your stupid mate or anyone else about this!"
Geez! Vegeta could really be a pain in the ass when he wanted to be.
"Fine. You have my word.""Good. You have my word too." A Saiya-jin's word is as good as gold. This is going to be too easy. Vegeta smirked again and quickly disappeared and then as swiftly as he left he came back with a stop watch.
"You're time starts now Kakarot" He said calmly.
"But Vegeta! Can't I at least eat firs--" *BONK* Before Goku could finish his sentence, Chichi came and hit him on the head with Bulma's Unbreakable Metal Plate.
"Goku! I've been calling you for the past 15 minutes! Are you DEAF! Now you and Vegeta come and eat. The food is getting cold! GET UP NOW!" She exclaimed with total fury and vengeance shining brightly in her ebony eyes.
Ha! Kakarot doesn't need any more blows to his head, it will just make him more of a baka. This is going to be great... dinner and a side show!
"Ouch! Sorry Chichi, I was coming in a minute." Goku sheepishly said.
"Don't you 'I was coming in a minute' me mister! You're coming with me NOW!" and with that Chichi grabbed Goku by the ear and lead the very heavy and hungry
-~-~-~--~-~
"Mmmm! Something smells good Trunks!" Goten ecstatically exclaimed.
Trunks nodded in agreement and walked over to where his mom was.
"Oh hey Trunks and Goten! Come and sit down. I'll serve lunch in a sec," Bulma cheerfully said.
"Okay mom! Where's dad and Goku? They're usually the first ones here whenever lunch is served" inquired Trunks.
Before Bulma could answer, Chichi arrived dragging Goku along as if he was he was a bag full of trash. Vegeta was trailing behind.
"NOW sit down! BOTH of you!" Chichi hollered.
Without another word they both obediently did what she said.
Boy! Dad sure must have done something really bad to get this treatment.
Goten carelessly thought."Now Goku..how many burgers do you want?" Chichi said sweetly. "I made 150 especially for YOU. It took forever but I know you would do the same."
Chichi must have split personalities. She's being nice now,
Goku thought.Bulma had already served out the burgers to Vegeta, Goten, and Trunks. Everyone was eating except Chichi; she was just staring an invisible hole right through Goku.
Oh great! She's waiting for an answer. What am I suppose to do!? I can't eat!
Goku was getting worried. Vegeta shot Goku a devilish grin and mouthed 'No food for you.'"Goku dear," Chichi was desperately trying to control her temper. "How MANY do you want?"
"I'm not hungry Chichi" Goku nervously replied.
The instant the words came out of his mouth, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at him; A while later they started laughing till tears were flowing from their eyes like waterfalls.
Why is everyone laughing at me? Its not like I eat at every chance I get. Wait...I DO eat whenever I can.
With that Goku himself started laughing and put his muscled hand behind his large head. Man, I'm nervous. How am I suppose to get out of this situation? How am I gonna get pass Chichi!? It's all Vegeta's fault!"That was a good one dad! At first I really believed it when you said you weren't hungry." Goten amusingly said.
"I'm not joking son," Goku lovingly whispered to his youngest.
Goku's devil mate will explode in 3, 2, 1..
Vegeta started the count down in his enigmatic mind."WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Chichi was ballistic "I slaved over that grill for FOUR hours just for YOU and you're NOT even going to eat it!" She slowly began to reach for her trusty frying pan.
Right on schedule. This is hilarious.
Vegeta smirked again"Goten, is you're dad feeling fine? He's actually standing up to your mom." Trunks whispered.
Goten shrugged. Dad must have already ate before or else he would never do something THIS stupid.
Chichi was about to raise her hard metal for contact on Goku's head when he rapidly added "Um...Chichi, I just remembered I have to be somewhere else."
With that Goku flew off in the Summer sky. Chichi is going to kill me if I show my face to her again!
-~-~-~--~-~
"Ooh! The nerve of that man! He can starve for all I care, but what am I going to do with all of these burgers?" questioned Chichi.
That was probably the smartest thing that baka had done in his life. He isn't as weak as I originally thought, BUT I got plenty of tricks reserved for you Kakarot. I WILL win this bet.
Thick silence now hung in the air. Unexpectedly Vegeta stood up and coolly stated "Give me the food. I'll go find Kakarot, beat some sense into him, and make him eat it."
Chichi packed up all of the 150 burgers in a capsule and gave it to him. At least Vegeta's good for one thing..He can hit Goku for me. She evilly smiled at that thought.
Bulma's jaw dropped. Vegeta is actually being nice to Chichi. I think I'll reward him for that. She went near her prince and kissed him gently on his soft Saiya-jin skin and whispered in his ear, "Keep up that attitude for me and you'll get more than a peck on your cheek."
Goten and Trunks covered their small ears. They hated when people talked like that. It was really gross.
"Hey Trunks! Let's go play somewhere else," Goten said. They both flew off.
Vegeta smirked. This day is going really well. I got to spar, eat some fine food, watch Kakarot's mate yell at him, and got kissed by Bulma. Now I get to torture Kakarot some more.
He then located Goku's ki and flew off towards it.
-~-~-~--~-~
"That was a weird afternoon..lets go inside and watch some soaps. How's 'bout it Chichi?" Bulma asked.
"Ok. I need something to get my mind of Goku." With that, they went inside Bulma's vast, luxurious estate and relaxed.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: *yawn* That took a few hours to write. If you haven't noticed by the horrible writing yet, this is my very first fan fiction. Please Review! I need some encouragement on whether I should continue this or not. In your review, if you can, please tell me who you want to win the bet (Goku or Vegeta) Thanks.
