Yes! My first update after more than a month!

Okay, two things: One, I'm just starting to get over a writing slump, and wrote most of this right after waking up, so I apologize if it's not written very well, or if random, crazy, slight OOCness of this chapter is a little much for ya. Two, this might be slightly confusing for you, if you haven't seen the new OVA, or read about it. With that outta the way... Now presenting... (Drum-roll) King Vegeta & Table!

Disclaimer: I don't own it.


"So, we'll be meeting tomorrow, and Bulma's mother will be cooking the food. And um...pick up some pecans from the store on your way here! It's for the pie, and uhh...someone kind of forgot to pick some up..."

Those were Vegeta's words to his brother, Table, during a phone call one Wednesday, reminding him of the family gathering to take place the following day. They would be celebrating an Earthling tradition-- a holiday, filled with food and gratefulness. This year's in particular was to be a very special one, since it would be the first the Saiyan king and princes would spend together.

"What are we doing here? I thought we were supposed to go to your brother's place, eat, then get out of there!" King Vegeta crossed his arms and complained.

"It'll only be a couple of minutes," Table said. "Big brother just wanted me to pick up something for him."

"Why couldn't I wait in the car? You could've brought that round-headed, yellow puppet-doll you call wife!"

"Hey!" Table snapped. "You be nice to Gure!"

"Whatever. Let's get the stuff and go..."

After the complaining had ended, they finally started moving around in search of the pecans Vegeta requested. The search for them went smoothly for Table, without any distractions...for about five seconds.

"Why couldn't your brother send someone else to get these 'pick hands'? I think it's a bit rude and stupid to send the honored guests!"

"It's pecans, dad," Table corrected. "And why don't you ask him yourself, then?"

"Fine..." King Vegeta sighed. "...Where do we find these pecans?"

"That's what I'm trying to find out."

"What do we need them for anyway?"

"For a pie."

"I thought he said the pies were pumpkin."

Table was starting to become frustrated. "Look, I'm just here to pick something up for big brother. That is all!"

So with that finally out of the way, they continued to wander around the store.

"Now if I could just figure what aisle they would be under..." Table said.

"That's what you've looking for!?" King Vegeta shouted, attracting attention from other shoppers nearby.

"W-Why are you yelling at me?" Table winced.

"You have no fighting talent, OR brains!" King Vegeta continued. "I would have been looking for someone that works here!"

Table stared at him blankly.

...Silence...

"Oh, for crying out loud! Let's go..." he grabbed his son by the arm and dragged him along.

After minutes of searching, after many minutes of searching...they finally found an employee.

"Excuse me!" King Vegeta called.

"Yes? May I help you?" the employee asked.

"Yes, you may," the king replied. "Where can we find the pecans?"

"I'll be right with you in a minute, sir." the employee answered, then rushed off somewhere.

After waiting for about five minutes, King Vegeta stood with his arms folded tightly and tapped the floor repeatedly with his foot, trying to restist the urge to blow something up. "How long have we been waiting?"

"Let's see...uhh...about seven minutes now." Table read from a watch he picked up from a nearby shelf.

"That's it!" the king snapped, "I'll show them 'in a minute'!" then began to stomp away.

Table rushed behind him, then wrapped both arms around his waist and tried to restrain him. "No dad! Stop!"

"I'll give them a piece of my mind!"

"Don't do it!"

King Vegeta muttered as he slowly marched down the aisles, dragging Table along, who was practically begging him to stop, all while attracting even more attention from people.

"Please dad! Don't--"

"That will teach them to mess with the great King Vegeta and--"

"There you two are!"

Both the king and Table froze instantly, then turned their heads at the direction of the new voice.

"Gure," Table said. "what are you doing in here?"

"You guys were gone for a really long time, so I decided to check up on you," she answered, then held out a packaged object of some sort in front of her with both hands. "Here, I got you that thing brother asked for."

The men were finally glancing upon it: a nice bag of pecans. The thing they spent forever searching hopelessly for, it only took Gure two steps into the store to find.

"Thank goodness," Table sighed. "We can get out of here now..."

After they stood in line and payed for the goods, the three made their way toward the car and got ready to leave.

"Table," King Vegeta said. "Can you do something for me?"
"What is it, dad?"

"Next time your brother asks you for a favor, say no!"
