The Shopping Trip Chapter 2

"Ready, little man?"

"Yeah!"

The father and son pair were just about to take off to the market when Chichi called out to them.

"Wait you two! Bulma just called. She wanted me to tell you that Vegeta will be joining you shortly!"

Goku and Gohan looked at each other before bursting out with laughter.

"Seriously?" Gohan asked.

"Vegeta, shopping!?" Goku managed between laughs.

"Shut up, you dolt," came a calm reply.

"Oh hey Vegeta!"

"Hmph,"

"You coming too?"

"Hn,"

"Did Bulma send you, or did you—"

"Shut up and let's get this over with already!"

Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta took off into the sky, but Chichi yelled at them once more.

"HEY! Where do you think you're going?"

The 3 saiyans gulped.

"Do you think you can fly into the market just like that? That won't look normal! Take the car instead. Goku, you know how to drive, so drive!" Chichi said strictly.

"C'mon Chichi, I do this all the time!"

Chichi glared at him.

Goku gulped again. "Okay, we'll take the car," Chichi nodded, smiled, and entered the house once more.

"Have a nice trip!" she called out.

The three piled into the car with Goku at the wheel and drove off to the market, unaware of the disasters that await them.

Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta finally reached the market, thankfully without mishap (although Goku did run a red light once or twice and almost smashed into the bumper of a car). The three got out of the car. (Note: the "market" is a street full of smaller shops, not a big store like Wal-Mart).

"Alright, time to shop!" yelled Goku happily. Vegeta just looked around.

"What do we need to get?" he asked in a gruff voice.

Gohan pulled out a list from his gi pocket. "Mom gave me a list so we know what to buy,"

"Well then, what does it say?"

"Uh, well it says here: 4 loaves of bread, 2 cartons of milk, 1 fish, 3 rolls of salad, a package of seaweed, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, beans, onions, spices, and any desert we want," Gohan finished.

"Dessert!? YUM!"

"Shut up,"

"We'd better get started," said Gohan, being the sensible one. "We don't want to keep mom waiting,"

They walked along the street, looking at the various shops around them, determining which one to go to first.

"Hey Vegeta?"

"Yes, Kakkarot?"

"Why are you even here in the first place?"

"Bulma sent me," he replied coolly. "She needed a thing or two, and she couldn't get off her lazy butt to get them herself. So she told me to come with you idiots,"

Gohan overheard the conversation.

"What do you need to get, Vegeta?" he asked.

"I dunno. I'll just get whatever I want,"

Goku stopped walking suddenly. He pointed to a store up ahead. "Hey look you guys, it's the bakery!"

"Great!" yelled Gohan. "Now we can get the bread,"

Once they got to the bakery, Vegeta and Goku looked at the breads in awe. Such a wide selection! Goku headed straight for the sweet breads.

"Can we buy this one? Can we? OH! What about this one! Please Gohan, can we get it?"

"No dad, mom said we should only buy what's on the list, and that's 4 loafs of bread. Vegeta, could you ask the store owner for 4 loaves of bread, two whole wheat and two white please?"

"Hn,"

"Great, now that we have that settled—"

"GIVE ME THE BREAD YOU IMBOCILE OR I'LL FINAL FLASH YOU TO HELL!"

"D-D-DON'T KILL ME PLEASE!"

"Vegeta!" Gohan yelled. "You're not supposed to scare him!"

Vegeta glared at him. "Well I wanted the damn bread and he wouldn't give it to me!"

"S-s-sir, c-could you p-please put me d-down?"

"Not until you give me the bread!"

Gohan sighed. It looked like he was going to have to do this himself.

"I apologize for what my—

"Apologize my ass!"

friend here did to you. I just wanted to ask you, could you please give us tow loaves of whole wheat bread and two loaves of white bread? We would really appreciate it,"

"O-o-oh, okay! Is t-that all?"

"Yes, sir! Vegeta, put him down!"

"Mya Bubeeta, phut hm dowrn!" Goku agreed through a mouthful of food.

"DAD! Why are you eating that!?"

"Ish gud!"

"Oh, I'll put him down," Vegeta said menacingly. He roughly threw him to the ground, earning a loud "ow!" from the man. The man then proceeded to crawl across the ground to reach the bread. After all, the store's motto was "the customer is always right!"

After a few minutes of glares from Vegeta (directed towards Gohan), shouts from Gohan (directed towards his father) and confusion-filled looks from Goku (directed at Vegeta), the man finally came back with the bread.

"All right young man, here you go!"

"Thank you!" exclaimed Gohan with a smile.

"By the way, here's a little extra money for the—ahem—behaviour today….." Gohan whispered.

"O-oh no, that is t-t-otally fine!" said the store owner. A little too willingly. Gohan turned around, only to be met by Vegeta's icy glare. He glared back. They stood like that a while before Vegeta growled.

"Fine, give him the damn money, not like I care anyways. It's not my money," he spat. Gohan paid.

"Kakkarot, we're leaving!"

"Huh? Oh, coming!"

Gohan sighed. He hoped this was the only disaster of the day.

If only he knew how horribly wrong he was.
