Chapter Eleven: An Unexpected Guest
It's now been six days after Vegeta's accident at the soccer game. And Vegeta has not been in school ever since that day. Nobody has even heard when Vegeta was coming back to school. So it is a mystery of his appearance.
Today is the assembly that is to announce the new soccer champions. Every member of the team is stay on the stage, waiting for the assembly to start. Goku was not acting like his cheerful self at the moment. Then another member of the team spoke to Goku.
"What's wrong, Goku? Thought you would be happy." Goku then replied back sadly.
"I know Samuel. But it's just that something is missing. Well, more like someone." Then Samuel looked at the seat next to Goku.
"Oh, I see. Yeah, we all miss him Goku. But he is here. He's here in spirit. Just remembers that, OK buddy?" Goku then nodded.
"Yeah you're right, Samuel. Well, we should just get ready. Its about to start soon." Samuel just nodded, and then sat back down. And then the Principal spoke through the speakers. "Attention all students, may all the students make their way to the assembly hall please?"
Five minutes later, everybody in the school made it to the assembly hall, to crown the new soccer champions. Bulma was walking next to Chichi all the way, ever since they left the classroom.
As they sat down on the chairs, Chichi blew Goku a kiss, and Bulma just waved at Goku. Goku waved back, and blew a kiss at Chichi in return. Bulma looked down in an unhappy look. Chichi then spoke to her.
"You OK, Bulma? What's the matter?" Bulma couldn't speak correctly.
"V...Ve...Vegeta." was Bulma's only answer. Chichi put one hand on Bulma's shoulder.
"I know, Bulma. It's really hard. I miss him too. But hay, keep your chin up. Vegeta is with us in spirit. So just remember that, OK?" Bulma then nodded, and continued to stare at the stage.
She was looking at the stool that Vegeta would have sat on if he was here. So then after that, the principal went up to the front of the stage, walked over to the microphone, and then began to speak in front of the entire school.
"Good afternoon students. As you may all know that this is the assembly, to crown our school as the soccer champions!" Then the school cheered really loud. Bulma only clapped slowly. Chichi was screaming for Goku.
"YEAH, GOKU! THIS IS FOR VEGETA!" Bulma then smiled a little at that response. And then everybody continued watching the rest of the assembly. The principal laughed.
"I see you're all excited. OK now that everybody is hear, we now all take you to the man in charge of this, and he is the coach of the team. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Allister!" Everybody gave around of applause for the man. When the coach came onto the stage, he shook the principal's hand, and then made his way to the microphone.
"Good afternoon, everybody. As you see, we have the team on stage for the reward of the trophy. Only one member of the team couldn't make it, because of his medical reason." Bulma knew who he was referring to. She was about to break into tears.
"Before we reward the trophy, we will give out medals for each of the team." Three minutes later, he was giving out the last three medals.
"This is for the best acting goal keeper. This one goes to, Samuel Oragi." The audience cheered. Samuel then stood up and went to the front of the stage, shook the coach's hand, and then he placed the medal around his neck. Samuel then sat back down.
"OK, this medal goes to the best of his skills of dribbling the ball. This award goes to, Goku Son." Everybody then cheered really loud. Chichi was screaming for Goku.
"YEAH! GO GOKU!" Bulma smiled and clapped for Goku. Goku had the medal placed on his neck, and then sat back down to his seat.
"And the last reward goes to the best player, for the team the most scored goals, it goes to Vegeta Ouji. But he is not here today. But cheer for Vegeta everybody." Everybody then cheered their loudest. Bulma dropped a few tears, and she clapped a lot for Vegeta.
"OK now everybody, this is the time. We will now crown you the new champions." Then the coach walked to where the trophy was sitting. The coach was then about to lift up the trophy, until he heard the sound of the front door of the hall opening.
The door opened very slowly, everybody was looking to see who it was. Bulma and Chichi also looked. And then the first thing that came through the door was a leg of a crutch. Then about ten seconds later, the person was now in the hall. Then Bulma shouted out
"Oh my god. IT'S VEGETA! VEGETA IS HERE!" Everybody knew it was him. And then they all cheered their loudest. Vegeta was moving very slowly to the stage. Vegeta had a smile on his face. Every was chanting Vegeta's name.
A minute later Vegeta finally made it to the front of the stage. Goku went down to help Vegeta onto the stage. Vegeta gave Goku a short hug. Goku whispered in Vegeta's ear.
"Welcome back buddy. We've missed you." Vegeta then smiled.
"He he, glad to be back Kakarot." Vegeta replied. The coach then came to Vegeta and tapped his shoulder.
"Welcome back, pal." the Coach said. Vegeta smiled at the coach.
"Thank you, sir." The coach picked up Vegeta's medal.
"And now everyone, this medal goes to the best scoring player. Everybody, VEGETA OUJI!" Everybody in the hall was getting louder as they cheered. Then the coach gently placed the medal around Vegeta's neck. Vegeta was about to sit down, until the coach stopped him.
"Where you going? You're holding up the title you won us." The coach said with a smile. Vegeta smiled back. Every team member stood up, Goku stood next to Vegeta.
"This is it, Vegeta. This is our moment." Vegeta nodded. Then the coach picked up the trophy, and placed it on Vegeta's hand. Goku was next to Vegeta so he could support his balance.
"Kakarot, we should hold up the trophy together." Vegeta advised. Goku smiled, and then he nodded. Vegeta held the trophy with his right hand, and Goku held it with his left. Then the couch announced
"Everybody, HERE ARE OUR NEW SOCCER CHAMPIONS!" While saying that, both Goku and Vegeta held up the trophy. And then everybody in the crowed is cheering for their new champions.
The team then was ready to walk out the hall. Goku was helping support Vegeta's balance all the way through. The cheering has not stopped since the champions have been crowned. Bulma was now cheering with tears of joy.
"WELCOME BACK VEGETA!" After saying that, the audience then started to chant to Vegeta "WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!"
After all the team walked out, they were all so happy to see Vegeta. They were all saying to Vegeta "Welcome back man! What's up Veggie?" Vegeta laughed.
"OK, settle down. I've got injuries." After that they've all finished welcoming Vegeta back.
"I would like to say a few words." Everybody gathered around Vegeta, and then Vegeta then began to speak.
"You know when we first won the match, I was so happy that we've won the title. But I was brutally attacked after it was over. I've suffered a concussion, twenty five stitches on my forehead, and a broken neck. I wish I didn't have to go to the hospital. I really wanted to stay and talk to you all about winning. We have been through a lot since first year, a HELL of a lot. And now since we've won, I don't see all of you just as my team mates, not just as my friends, but more importantly, you are all my family. And all my years in school, you were all worth fighting for to make this what it is today." All the team members cheered for Vegeta. Then a voice came in. It was Chichi.
"Oh my god, Vegeta!" Chichi hugged Vegeta, and Vegeta hugged back.
"Are you OK, Vegeta?" she asked. Vegeta smiled.
"Yeah, I'm OK, Chichi. Don't worry." Chichi then kissed Vegeta's cheek.
"Welcome back, Vegeta." she stated. Vegeta smiled.
"Thank you, Chichi." Then another voice was heard.
"VEGETA! VEGETA!" Vegeta looked, and saw who it was.
"BULMA!" was Vegeta's only reply. Vegeta slowly stood up, walked towards Bulma, and then he hugged her for dear life. Bulma hugged Vegeta the same way. Bulma was so happy she was crying. Every member of the team cheered at the scene.
"My god, Vegeta, I've missed you so much." Vegeta just continued hugging.
"I've missed you too, Bulma." And then so on, Vegeta was OK. And he is back for everybody who cares for him. And he is back with the girl he fell in love with. And that girl is none other, Than Bulma Briefs.
