Party Food
As the party went on during the evening and through into the night, Goku noticed Vegeta moving further and further away from everyone else. Every so often he would call over to the prince, wanting him to join them. Each time, his efforts were rewarded with a snort and Vegeta turning his head away.
Midnight came and went. Half an hour or so later, the group decided to bring the party to a close. Trunks, Goten and Marron had fallen asleep a while ago, curled up in a nest of coats in one of the spare rooms upstairs. They need to be returned to their own beds. Goku noticed that Vegeta was now outside. He can see his figure sat in one of the trees.
He tells ChiChi that he'll just be a minute with something. Then he gathers up a few leftovers on a plate and heads outside.
As soon as he flies up high enough to become level with Vegeta, he is greeted with a demand for him to go away. Goku merely smiles, knowing not to pay any heed to the insults.
Goku tells him that you can't go to a party and not have any party food.
Again, he is told to go away.
Besides, Goku continues, even if you don't have any food, you shouldn't be alone. That's no fun.
This time, he doesn't get a response. Despite that, Goku smiled again and left the plate of food with Vegeta.
When he went back inside, he found Bulma and ChiChi deep in conversation. Goku didn't mind hanging around and eating any other leftover food.
Fifteen minutes later, the women said their goodbyes and Goku was called to leave again. Outside, he allowed himself to glance back at the tree where Vegeta was.
Vegeta was gone.
So was the plate of food.
Goku smiled and went home feeling satisfied.
