Chapter 1 – Crashing the party
Slowly I walked out of the gravity room. My towel over my shoulder, walking towards the shower. This afternoon, once again, there is the most awful event of the year. My wife's birthday. Every year it seems like a circus, it remains bizarre that earthlings place so much value on an age. It still amazes me.
"Dad, Dad" I turned around, my son Trunks came running towards me. "What?" I snarled. My son, now as almost twenty years old looks over me with ease. He has grown tall. "Did you think of Mom`s birthday present?"
"Of course, it's been ready for a long time" I heaved a deep sigh. What confidence again in me. He got this from his mother.
Trunks came walking up beside me "uh dad, do you know where it is?" Surprised, I looked at him. "Of course, I'm not a demented chicken. Stock closet, top shelf, your mother can't reach it". Then I heard a sheepish laugh, irritated I cast a glance at my son "spill it".
"Well mom, has figured out that she's going to bake a cake along with Bulla, and she's in the supply closet." I shook my head "then she still can't reach the top shelf son. There's nothing there". I walked on to the bathroom and then I heard banging from the kitchen. Shit!
Quickly I ran to the kitchen, my wife was lying there on the floor, between the shelves of the stock cupboard. With a package on her lap. Bulla came to stand beside me and whispered "For a smart inventor, Mom is not too handy." Angry, she turned around "Are you guys going to help me yet!"
The good husband that I am I helped my wife onto her feet. She held the package and looked at it. I grumbled "What were you doing anyway". She looked at me "is this yours?" Suddenly it occurred to me that it might be too small a gift but carefully said "happy birthday".
Eagerly she opened the package. She held out a necklace with a small stone. Amazed, she looked at it. "It's a piece of moon" I said. She then looked at me "did you get it yourself?" I nodded yes "You went to the moon for me?" Then I got a kiss on my cheek while crossing my arms.
Quickly I turned around, time for a shower, I still heard Bulla say "daddy is so romantic". A trip to the moon wasn't very difficult for me. Minimum effort, maximum outcome. But then I heard my wife yell my name "Vegeta, come help clean up". Ignoring her was not an option today.
It was a party, sitting quietly under a tree with a bowl of food beside me. My wife's little friends were socializing with each other. There was laughter, dancing. There was a big buffet. The children were playing in and around the pool. This nonsense, for a mere celebration of getting older.
Suddenly my wife sat down next to me; quickly I took a bite of my sandwich. "Oh honey, why don't you go have some social interaction. Everyone is here. You haven't spoken to them in so long either". Fortunately I was chewing on a sandwich and I couldn't answer. Staring across the group, we suddenly heard a noise from above.
We saw a ship, and it came down fast. It landed right in the middle of my wife's group of friends. It was a small red and white ship. It was Jaco's ship, from the Galactic Patrolmen. I got up, but stayed under my tree. I just find him irritating. Bulma and the others did walk over to him, when he jumped out of his ship. I crossed my arms.
What I saw was almost theater comical. My suspicion is that Jaco was not invited or aware of my wife's birthday. He got a big slap from her; I could always enjoy her outbursts from a distance. But then I heard my name, surprised I raised an eyebrow. Bulma was calling my name.
Jaco and Bulma came up to me. Stuttering, Jaco began "Vegeta, your help has been requested". Softly I growled, what could this clown want? "With what?" Jaco handed me a device in my hands. "Ever heard of the winter soldier?"
"That one is a myth, just a story to instill fear. There is no such thing as the winter soldier". Jaco pressed a button on the device in my hand. I saw a hologram movie, a shadow of a person. This could be anything, until I saw that the figure eliminated an important politician of the Galactic government in one swift movement, and left his guards for dead.
I heaved a deep sigh "okay maybe so, but this could still be anyone. What makes you think this is that particular soldier?" Jaco grabbed the device from my hand again and exchanged it with an envelope. "Because I have pictures, I have her on photo, the identity of the winter soldier."
In wonder, Bulma looked over Jaco's shoulder. I picked up the envelop and opened it. "Vegeta before you look at the pictures. I just want to say that I took the pictures myself, this is not a trick. I really saw her". The clown made me curious and I took out the pictures from the envelope.
"What the hell!" Surprised, I looked at the young girl in the picture. She was no older than the day I last saw her, more than thirty years ago! Her ginger colored hair, blue eyes, even the scar on her neck I recognized. But this can't be, she's dead. A voice pulled me out of my Trans "honey, who is that?" Startled, I looked at Bulma.
More people had joined us, curious to know what was going on. I looked around, annoyed. I threw the pictures on the ground "this is not possible, you are being fooled". With that I walked away, I didn`t feel like reliving these memories. She`s dead, and that`s the end of it.
With the gravity machine on maximum I was clearing my head by throwing ki shots at drones. Then the drones went back to their spot, gravity went back to normal. I had done nothing, someone turned off the machine from the outside. The door opened and there stood my wife, angry!
She walked in angrily, holding one of the pictures. I didn`t want to do deal with this and turned my back to her. "Vegeta listen! I want to know who this is. Is she an ex-girlfriend of yours?" Ex? Surprised, I turned around and started laughing. "She's not an ex, she's more like family. The person who is supposed to represent the person in the picture is Yuri."
Then Jaco also walked in. "Vegeta, sorry for disturbing you." I rolled my eyes "And yet here you are, talking". The frightened alien went and stood behind my wife who angrily pushed him away behind her "scaredy-cat" she snapped at him.
He lowered his head "Vegeta, please. This is the first evidence we have that the winter soldier exists. A soldier who always works at the peak of its power. A soldier, who just popped up and then disappears, makes you think. There are rumors that the minister of water planets is the next target. Will you please join me in finding out more about this?"
I began to growl softly, but my wife replied. "Of course Vegeta will go with you Jaco." Angrily I cast a glance at my wife, now she turned to me. "As if the moon was trouble for you, think of it as a real birthday present. Helping a friend and maybe catching a bad guy". I crossed my arms, and muttered in agreement.
Thanks everyone for reading the first chapter! Please let me know what you guys think.
I am still finding my way in the writing world. 3
