All Dressed In Green
Chapter One - My Apologies
SVS: I love these guys! Piccolo and Vegeta have to be my most fav DBZ Characters! Hope you like this one!
" You giant Green Freak of Nature!! "
" Pointy-Haired weakling of a Saiyan! "
" Take that back! "
" No! "
" Yes! "
" No! "
" Boys...calm down! " Bulma hesitated, standing in front of the bickering Rivals.
Piccolo and Vegeta sneered at one another, their teeth bared. Their fists were both clenched around the bun of the last Hamburger, and they were staring each other down in Classic Stance.
" Why don't you share it!? " Bulma suggested, looking from Piccolo to Vegeta.
The two ignored her, Piccolo's fangs squeezing tightly against his lips. " Don't start with me, Vegeta... "
The Saiyan Prince chuckled, his lips curling into a smirk. " OOOHH! I'm hurting the poor Namek's feelings! I've hit the Jackpot! Heheh... "
Piccolo felt his body tighten, viens popping from all sides of his green body. He lunged toward the Prince's throat, his hand suddenly was gripped.
" How pathetic... " Vegeta smirked, holding Piccolo's wrist tightly. He spun it with a fast speed, amused as he heard it snap.
Piccolo groaned in pain, trying to pull his hand away as best as he could.
Bulma had backed away, a disgusted expression on her face. It was like this every time they got together, Piccolo and Vegeta always managed to get in the strangest arguements. They were fighting over food for goodness sakes! Something had to be done, and she'd be the one to do it.
Vegeta let go of Piccolo's wrist, a wicked smirk printed on his tan face. " Next time I won't be as merciful, Namek. " He chewed the burger in celebration of his victory, snickering in between mouth fulls.
" Vegeta...can I speak with you for a moment... " Bulma requested, grabbing the tip of his ear and tugging him away.
The Namek chuckled, amused at the sight of the Saiyan losing to his Onna.
Bulma dragged her mate into the house, leaving the others out back to continue partying. She let go of his ear, placing her fists on her hips. " I'm not happy with you Vegeta... "
" Yes Dear... " he mumbled, bowing his head.
She pointed a finger towards his chin, waving it every second. " I expected better from you. Every time we get together you always do something ridiculous! I'm so embarrassed...what a bothersome Husband you are! "
Vegeta kept his head bowed, " Yes Dear... "
She pointed towards the door, " I want you to go and apologize to Piccolo, right now! You hear me! "
The Saiyan Prince panicked, his face turning a navy blue. " No! Not that! "
" Apologize! Or I'll take away the Gravity Room for a whole Year!! " Bulma hissed, brushing back a strand of hair behind her ear.
Vegeta made his way towards the door slowly, trying to waist as much time as he could. His brown Capsule Corp. boots making a slight tap as they hit the floor.
Bulma rolled her eyes, rubbing her temples with her fingers. " Vegeta...just go. It won't kill you to be nice, Hon... "
He sped out, taking a long inhale of oxygen as he got outside. This would be a toughie, he was never good at being nice. ' Nice ' had never been a word in his Dictionary.
" OOHHH! Vegeta got into trouble! Heheh... " Krillin teased, watching Vegeta shiver with fear. Krilling and Muten Roshi were playing unfortunately playing Uno, and it seemed Krillin was winning.
" Don't you start Baldie! " Vegeta hissed, raising a fist.
Krillin panicked, turning back around and burrying his face back in his cards.
The Saiyan Prince smirked, " He's got a blue 3, Roshi! "
The old man beamed, laying down a ' WILD ' card. This made Krillin pout, causing him to have to draw more cards.
Finished with this entertainment, Vegeta traveled slowly towards Piccolo. He took small steps, hoping none of the others noticed where he was going. This was embarrassing beyong belief.
Piccolo was sitting next to Goku, watching Goten and Trunks play in a nearby Sandbox. It wouldn't be too hard to get his attention, he'd just have to be careful. He dodged into some bushes.
" Pstt.. "
The Namek's pointed ears perked, and he looked behind him. Vegeta was now hiding behind the bushes, motioning his finger for the Namek to come over to him.
Piccolo growled, " What do you want? "
" I wanna talk to you privately... " Vegeta whispered, dissapearing back behind the bushes.
Piccolo shrugged, standing up from his seat and following the Prince through the bushes and into Bulma's Garden.
" Sorry If I interrupted anything... " Vegeta spoke, sitting down in a clean spot of grass.
The Namek sat down next him, still confused. " Uh...It's cool...I wasn't really doing anything... "
Vegeta smiled, placing his chin on his palms. " I didn't mean to argue with you, it was a bit stupid...huh? "
" It's my fault too... " Piccolo apologized, " I should have let you have it in the first place... "
Vegeta shook his head. " Quit blaming it on yourself, Namek! It was all my fault! "
" No! It was mine! "
" Mine! "
" Mine! "
" No! Mine! "
Bulma, who was watching them from behind the bushes, shook her head in dissapointment. ' Not again '.
" So how'd it go, Hon? " Bulma asked, throwing the covers over her.
Vegeta kissed her cheek, getting into bed next to her. " Not too bad...Of course, I don't think we'll be seeing one another again any time soon... "
She sighed, laying her head on her pillow. Feeling Vegeta throw his strong arm around her. It made her feel safe.
" Goodnight, My Princess... " He whispered into her ear.
Bulma giggled, his breath tickling her ear. " Goodnight, My Prince... "
It didn't take long for them to both fall asleep, a cool breeze blowing in the room from the open balcony door. OPEN DOOR!?
Vegeta got up from the bed, heading towards the open door. He brushed his hands over his bare arms, a cold chill filling his body. He was about to shut the door when his sensitive ears caught sound of a flowing cape. It was obvious who it was, he could tell by the stench. " What are you doing here, Piccolo? "
" Good. You're awake... " The Namek emmediantly replied. He walked over towards the Saiyan, bowing his head. " Sorry to be here so late...but I need your help... "
" Well, Shoot! What is it? "
Piccolo bit his lip, his cheeks turning beat red. " I need your word that you won't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you... "
Vegeta listened intently as the Namek began to speak.
SVS: What's Piccolo's problem...You'll have to wait to find out!
Booyaka!
