Chapter 9: Halloween (Growing Up Sucks).

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

It was 8:00 on the day of Halloween at Capsule Corp. and Bulma was just getting out of the shower with her pajamas on before she heard a loud knock on the door.

"Bulma dear, could you answer the door?" Her mother's voice came from the kitchen, probably cooking.

Bulma sighed as she dragged herself to the door. She had a very rough day at school, mainly involving Goku somehow driving an airplane into the building, causing everyone to get in trouble. If that wasn't bad enough, she had gotten a 94% on a test about the difference between fruits and vegetables.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"I'm coming!" Bulma growled as she walked to the door and opened it to reveal Vegeta, Goku, Krillin, and Piccolo in their Halloween costumes.

"Woman! Why are you dressed in your pajamas?! It's f***ing Halloween!" Vegeta yelled. He was dressed in a pancake costume, with fake syrup and everything.

"Yeah Bulma! Here, I got a hot dog outfit for ya!" Goku, who was dressed as Captain Crunch, handed Bulma the costume.

Bulma shook her head while giving the Halloween costume back to Goku, "Sorry, but I can't go Trick-Or-Treating. I gotta pass candy out to little kids,"

"What?! B-But we always do this together!" Krillin (He wore his hall monitor uniform) protested.

Bulma shrugged, "I'm getting too old for this...but do you guys wanna watch a movie or something? I can invite Chi-Chi and 18..."

"Really?!" Goku exclaimed happily, "Will you have pop-"

"-No way, Woman! We're going candy snatching and if you're not gonna join us, don't ask for any of my candy!" Vegeta growled as he dragged the other guys away from the premises.

"Hey! I wanted to watch a movie!" Piccolo complained angrily. He wore a Cucumber costume to promote his latest album.

"No! We aren't gonna accept invitations from traitors!" Vegeta was staring to get a bad headache and he didn't like it one bit.

"B-But 18 was gonna be there..." Krillin whined sadly. He wanted to impress her with his uniform.

"No! We're getting free candy, and that's FINAL!" Vegeta screamed as he stomped his foot. Goku, Krillin and Piccolo stepped back a few feet, not wanting to interfere with Vegeta's temper tantrum.

"Okay! Okay! Let's go!" Goku nervously agreed to Vegeta's idea and they all quickly followed Vegeta to their first house.

"Hey Vegeta, how much candy are you expecting?" Goku asked curiously.

"I'm expecting a mass pile of it! High enough to reach the atmosphere! Plenty for a Saiyan Prince!" Vegeta smirked proudly.

"Well...I want a pile high enough to reach the moon!" Goku smiled, imagining the sweet taste of candy.

Vegeta growled at Goku, misinterpreting his words for trying to best him, "I want mines as high as the solar system!"

This made Goku even hungrier, so he replied, "The universe is more like it! I'll have that much candy!"

"The Galaxy!" Vegeta hissed, getting annoyed at Goku's antics.

"All of the Galaxies!" Goku chirped.

"Of all Space and Time!" Vegeta clenched his fists, barely restraining himself from punching the little idiot.

"Even more than that!" Goku chuckled, scratching the back of his head. Vegeta nearly snapped into madness.

"Well, I have all INFINITY! There's NOTHING higher than INFINITY! So, I WIN!" Vegeta let out heavy pants, just daring Goku to top that.

"...It was a competition?" Goku questioned with a confused look on his face.

"ARRRRRGGHH!" Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan out of anger, until Krillin interrupted his tirade.

"We're here at the first house!" Krillin announced.

Krillin stepped up and knocked on their first door, which appeared to be a rich house. The door opened to reveal an old woman, who looked very wealthy.

"Trick-Or-Treat!" All the boys except Vegeta spoke, showing off their empty bags of candy.

"Ugh! I have no time to deal with little freeloaders like you! I have a party to go to!" The woman pushed the kids out of the way and started walking to her fancy car.

"...That b****!" Piccolo yelled.

"Might as well pull a trick...I'll take care of her!" Vegeta lifted his hand, and with a simple blast, destroyed her precious car.

"MY BEAUTIFUL CAR!" The woman screamed in horror, angrily turning to the boys, "I'M CALLING THE COPS!"

"GO! GO! GO!" Krillin screamed as they all started running, but Goku ended up grabbing all of them and used Instant Transmission to go someplace else.

Me: Thanks! It's hard, but you know, I have to push through it to better myself ^_^

Piccolo: And that was Reviews with DragonBall787 and Vegeta!

Meanwhile, Bulma invited Chi-Chi and 18 over to watch a movie.

They were sitting on the couch in the living room, munching on some popcorn and drinking soda. The movie that they were watching was an old Halloween love story.

"I can't believe that the guys went out Trick-Or-Treating!" Chi-Chi shook her head, "They should know better than that!"

"Well, it is our first year not doing it...and you know that boys mature later than girls," Bulma snorted.

18 just glanced at the two girls, and went back to watching the movie. It wasn't her type, but she didn't wanna bother with the conversation.

"Speaking of maturing, my dad still won't let me get a training bra!" Chi-Chi whined.

"Gosh Chi-Chi, it's not a big deal...in fact, you should be happy you don't gotta wear one yet, it feels uncomfortable," Bulma shrugged. She wasn't gonna tell her about the embarrassing shopping trip with her mom.

Flashback-

"Mooom, can we leave now?!" Bulma's face couldn't get any redder as she tried to tug her mother away from the bra department of Walmart. She already had 14 bras, and her mom was STILL looking for more.

"Oh honey, I just want the cutest one for you!" Her mother giggled girlishly, "Ah, I remember when I went shopping with my mom..."

"MOTHER!" Bulma stamped her foot angrily but then cringed as everyone's faces seem to turn towards her.

"Here, hold this for a minute," Mrs. Briefs put a small pile of bras into Bulma's hands, making her even more embarrassed.

She planned to get rid of these things as soon as possible! Her biggest fear was that her friends could possibly see her...especially the guy friends. Speaking of the Devil, a few aisles away, she could see Vegeta, who was with his father, looking for socks. As soon as she spotted him, Vegeta automatically turned and made eye contact with her.

In a matter of a second, Vegeta suddenly appeared right before her eyes, making Bulma hide the bras behind her back.

"...What are you doing here?" Vegeta questioned, sensing something odd about the atmosphere.

"Y-You know, for food and stuff..." Bulma coughed, making Vegeta really suspicious. He stared at her for a few more seconds, before Bulma had enough of his creepiness.

"You can go now! I'll see you later!" Bulma urged, "Go away!"

Vegeta shot her a confused look before slowly backing away and disappearing off to find his father, 'Girls are so confusing...'

Bulma sighed in relief, finally able to relax since all the people she knew wasn't near-

"Hello, rival of mines..." A voice drawled right behind her.

'You know what? Forget it!' Bulma thought as she turned around to face Cell, not even bothering to hide anything, "What do you want Cell?"

"I was just wondering what you could possibly be here doing today..." Cell responded, smirking. His smirk then turned into a confused frown as he noticed the items Bulma was carrying.

"What's that?" Cell questioned out of curiosity as he pointed at the clothing in her hand.

"I give up!" Bulma threw up her arms in defeat and handed one of them to Cell, "It's a training bra,"

"Hm? What's it for?" Cell questioned as he felt the material, "B-But not that I don't know, I'm perfect!"

"Umm...I don't want to talk about it," Bulma sighed as she sat on a nearby bench. The only thing keeping her relaxed was knowing that Cell was physically and mentally asexual.

Cell noticed her sadness and sat next to her. He awkwardly patted her head, "I don't see why you're so sad, but *cough* you'll get over it sometime within your life,"

Bulma noticed that Cell was trying to make her feel better and smiled. She leaned over and brought Cell into a hug, "Thanks Cell,"

Cell blushed purple, "N-No problem...You can get off me now!"

Bulma let go of Cell and watched him walk away, 'He's like the older brother I never had...' She thought.

She then started to walk back to her mom, but noticed ruffling going on in the adult women's bra section. She cautiously walked there and gasped as she saw a giant pile of bras, 'Who could've done this?!'

Just then, Turles' head popped out of the top of the mountain, his hair was covered in bras, and he was even wearing one as a mask. Turles' face turned into shock as he noticed Bulma's open mouthed face.

"...Please don't tell my mooom!" Turles pleaded desperately.

End Flashback-

"...Still, it can't be that bad! I mean, at least you know you're growing up!" Chi-Chi continued her rant.

Bulma shook her head while slapping his forehead in embarrassment. Chi-Chi had no idea what was gonna happen soon.

Meanwhile, the boys were going for their second to last house. They haven't gotten any candy from all 20 houses, and they were dead tired.

"This house better have candy..." Piccolo muttered as he pounded on the door.

The door opened to reveal a giant obese man, "Yes?"

"GIVE US SOME MOTHERF***ING CANDY!" Vegeta's voice roared in anger.

"Hmm...let me see..." The obese man dug into his pocket and found a couple of apples. He put one into each of the boys' bags and started to close the door.

"This isn't candy! You're fata** needs to be eating these, not me! You see this *yanks costume off* This is a 6 pack, an 6 pack! And what do you have?! Nothing but flabs! I pity you for acting like you're fine with your life, but obviously, you're not!" Vegeta ranted in anger.

Goku, Krillin, and Piccolo were dead silent in shock.

"...WAAAAAAAAHHHH!" The obese man cried as he ran into the house, and slammed the door.

"You took it too far, Vegeta!" Goku scolded, not happy at his actions.

"You think I care?! Let's just go to the last house!" Vegeta snorted as he started walking to the last lit house of the night.

Krillin stepped out and knocked on the door hoping for a decent person. A middle aged man opened the door and grumbled, "What?"

"Trick or treat!" The boys spoke to the middle aged man.

The man frowned at all of the kids and shook his head, "You kids are too old to be doing this! Get a life!" He slammed the door on all of them, taking along his delicious candy with him.

"...*sniff* What's happened to us?!" Goku cried.

Vegeta growled and cracked his knuckles, "I don't know, but I'm getting some of that candy, no matter what!" He prepared a ki blast with his right hand and pointed it at the door.

"Old man! Come out and give me the f***ing candy, so you'll get severely punished, by the Great Prince Vegeta!" Vegeta screamed while stamping his foot.

There was no response...making Vegeta angrier.

"Vegeta, no-"

BOOM!

Most of the house was obliverated, and the man was more than likely dead. Vegeta walked to the kitchen, and stole 4 bags of mixed candy and walked back outside. He tossed one bag to each boy, "We can go back now...I satisfied,"

"..." The rest just nodded as they started heading back towards Capsule Corporation.

"Hey..how do a man and a woman make chickens and cows?" Bulma asked, ironically watching the show on Nicktoons.

"...I don't know..." Chi-Chi pondered. Both girls turned to 18, who just glanced at them and shrugged her shoulders.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Bulma jumped from the couch, and opened the front door, revealing Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin with a giant pile of candy in their bags.

"Wow, so you actually got the candy," Bulma was impressed. She thought they were just gonna get an apple.

"Yup, there were so many willing houses," Vegeta bragged. Krillin and Goku was about to speak before Vegeta and Piccolo knocked them to the ground.

"Well, that's good...how about you guys watch a movie with us?" Bulma asked.

All six ended up on the couch watching Cow and Chicken on Nicktoons.

Krillin was showing off his outfit to 18 (Who didn't really care), and Chi-Chi was nagging to Goku about what candy can do to his teeth. Vegeta snickered as he enjoyed his cavity free wish. Piccolo was busy meditating.

"Hey..how do a man and a woman make chickens and cows?" Bulma asked, since she was the only one really watching the show.

Chi-Chi and 18 shrugged, while Piccolo continued to meditate.

"Mmph! Mmph! Mmph!" Goku had his mouth filled with Skittles, making him drool literal rainbow.

Krillin suggested, "Maybe they actually make Chickens and Cows, like in a farm,"

Vegeta couldn't believe the simple question was answered in the stupidest ways, "Duh, they ADOPTED them!"

"...Ooooh..." Everyone chorused.

They eventually went back to their normal discussions.

Vegeta dug more into his bag of candy and noticed that there was a bunch of Almond Joys in there. He HATED Almond Joys. He then remembered that Bulma liked Almond Joys. The thing was, he didn't wanna give her any. He knew that didn't make sense but he had a pride to defend! Just then, an idea clicked in his head.

Bulma was nearly asleep until she felt a bunch of candy rain on her out of nowhere. She stood straight up, and noticed that there was a bunch of Almond Joys on her hair, lap, and even down the back of her shirt. She turned to Vegeta and saw his looking the opposite direction from her. Bulma smiled (To tired to scream at him), and scooted closer to lie her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.

'Oh great, now that disgusting candy is even closer to me,' Vegeta mentally sighed. He looked to see everyone else asleep but him, so he got up and walked to the TV, turning it off. He got back to his spot beside Bulma and dozed off, his head on the arm of the couch with his tail wrapping around her body, pulling her close to him.

Next Time- Christmas (Growing Up Sucks Part II)

Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I can't believe it's like nearly halfway through summer now. Ugh...I hate back to school commercials! Anyway, there's only 8 more chapters left, and since November and January isn't really a big deal, I'm skipping those months. I'm probably even gonna skip football since I'm rushing to get this story done. But it's alright, this fic isn't as big as Freshman Saga, so I bet you guys wouldn't mind. Anyway, I would like to recommend a fic made by my long time friend (She's been there since my first fanfiction), Juli the Shinigami, and her fanfiction called the Darkest Part of Fate. I won't spoil too much, but it's really really good!
