Disclaimer: I did not create Dragonball Z or any of the characters in it so I'm not making any money off of this.
Introduction: It's finally here. Part Two! Sorry it took so long. I was asked if I was going to change the title with the next part and decided not to because it would only confuse people. It may not be the best title but it's a good story. Thanks for everyone's kind reviews and even the critical ones.
A Very Bad Day Part II
By: L.A. Whitfield
The last time she'd been this scared was back on planet Namek where Goku had fought Freeza. Afraid for herself and her friends. Afraid that they were all going to die when Namek exploded.. She hadn't really known Vegeta then and frankly the man never crossed her mind once those last few minuets before being wished back to Earth.
He'd been a pompous self centered as* hole back then and too full of himself to care for anything but himself. Now, so many years later the only thing on her mind was Vegeta and their daughter. Bra had changed him the most, with her sweet innocence and that beautiful little face. Something about Bra really brought out the good side in Vegeta. Now, she couldn't imagine her life with out either of them.
No one noticed them pop in or saw them as they quickly made their way to the front desk where the nurses station was. Bulma couldn't forget the way Goku looked when he'd arrived. He'd almost lost it back at the house and that frightened her more than anything when she first saw him. He rarely looked or got that upset unless something very wrong. Thank goodness Bra was ok. Why Vegeta had dragged her out there with him though, she would have to chew his as* out about as soon as he'd recovered. If he recovered.
As they approached the counter Goku noticed how badly Bulma was shaking and squeezed her shoulder gently. Bulma looked at him grateful for his support. Tears gleaming in her eyes. Goku tapped on the glass gently to get the nurses attention at the other side. A second later the window slid open.
"Can I help you?" The nurse asked.
"My name is Bulma Briefs. My husband and daughter were brought in here a few minuets ago."
The nurse pushed back her glasses and pulled out a stack of papers. "What are their names?" She asked sounding a little tired.
"My husband, I was told was brought into surgery. His name is Vegeta. My daughter's name is Bra."
The nurse nodded. "Oh yes, I remember them. They were brought in about ten minuets ago. She looked down at the stack of papers and grabbed the first two sheets. "Yes, here we go." She said studying the papers.
"Please, is my husband going to be ok?" Bulma blurted out impatiently. The nurse eyed Bulma critically and then looked at Goku. Goku shifted uneasily at Bulma's side but didn't do anything.
The nurse was use to this sort of behavior though and continued to read the papers. After a second, "Well, your daughter is doing just fine Mrs. Briefs. She's been moved to room 309 in the recovery wing and you may go see her."
Bulma sighed with relief. Even though Goku had told her that Bra was ok but it still helped to hear it again from a nurse.
"Your husband is still in surgery though." Bulma paled and looked like she would faint. Goku grabbed Bulma around the shoulders.
"Are you ok?" He asked worried at her suddenly pale complexion.
Bulma nodded and stared down at the ground holding onto Goku for support. The nurse spoke up again. "Would you like to sit down?" Bulma shook her head.
"When will he be out?" She asked in a whisper not feeling strong enough to speak any louder.
"We'll inform you as soon as he's out Mrs. Briefs."
Bulma tried to smile but couldn't. "Thank you. I'm going to see my daughter now."
Bra was asleep when they got there. She looked much better than the last time Goku had seen her. Goku gently lead her to Bra's bed where she sat down beside her. She took her daughter's hand in hers and gave it a squeeze. .
"It's mommy Bra. Are you awake?" Bulma spoke softly kissing her hand. Bra opened her eyes.
"Mommy?" Bra said groggily.
Bulma stroked her daughter's fore head. "How are you feeling?"
"Sleepy." Bra said rubbing her eyes. "Where am I?" She asked looking around the room. She saw Goku sitting at the end of her bed.
"Uncle Goku? What's going on? Where am I?" Bra asked confused trying to sit up but was too weak.
Bulma hushed her. "Hush now. You're going to be ok. You're in the hospital because you were hurt but you are going to be ok." She didn't want to tell her about Vegeta just yet. Bra relaxed in her mothers arms and sighed with relief.
She didn't know how long she'd been sitting there when Goku patted her arm. "Listen Bulma. I'm going home to get Chichi and the others if that ok with you? Trunks was over at my house last time I saw and I think he needs to know what's going on."
Bulma had forgotten about Trunks and instantly felt like a terrible mother. "Oh of course Goku! Please go and get Trunks for me?" Goku nodded and turned to leave but Bulma grabbed his arm stopping him.
"Thank you Goku for everything. And please, don't blame yourself for anything ok?" Goku stared down at the ground and back up at Bulma. Bulma surprised him by giving him a hug.
Goku froze for a second but then hugged her back. Goku waited for Bulma to release him before leaving. They weren't out of the woods yet. Vegeta still had to make it through surgery.
Goku left the dark room and stepped out into the bright hallway. He hated hospitals. The people were friendly enough, that wasn't the problem. It was the needles. Goku shivered and pushed that thought away concentrating on his son's ki. A second later he was standing in the living room of his home were Trunks and Goten were watching television. They had their sleeping bags laid out in front of the TV.
Goten felt his dad's arrival and looked up. "Oh hi dad! Where have you been? Mom's furious you didn't show up for diner."
"Well, something came up Goten." Goku said seriously. All the usual cheerfulness that he normally had gone from his voice. At that both boys forgot the show on TV and stood up facing Goku.
"Dad? What's wrong?" Goten asked nervously. Trunks stood beside his best friend the same question in his eyes.
"Um maybe I should talk to Trunks alone for a minute son. Please, would you go help mom with the dishes and don't tell her I'm here yet." Goku asked. Goten new his father meant business and nodded.
"Ok dad." He said joining Chichi in the kitchen. Once out of the room Goten ran to his mother and grabbed a drying towel.
"Can I help you dry the dishes mom?" Goten asked cheerfully. Chichi looked down at her son in disbelief. He never offered to help wash the dishes before. Just like his father but Chichi wouldn't pass this up for anything in the world. She was tired from cooking all day and still mad at Goku.
"Thank you Goten." Chichi said patting her youngest son lovingly on the head. As Chichi continued to wash the dishes she thought about Goku. Something must be wrong because he never misses diner. Chichi looked up from her dishes into the dark living room. Was it her imagination or did she hear someone gasp?
Just then Trunks came flying into the kitchen. His face filled with anger. He didn't slow down as he shot passed Chichi and Goten and didn't slow down to open the kitchen door so just blasted through it.
Chichi dropped the dishes she'd been holding. She cursed to herself out of Goten's hearing and bent down to pick the pieces up.
"Oh! My dishes!" Chichi said very upset that her favorite dishes were broken. Chichi knelt down and began picking up what was left of her fine china. "When I get my hands on that boy..." Before she could finish a pair of black boots appeared in front of her. It could be only one person.
"Goku! Where have you been?! I've been worried sick? You never miss diner! You could have at least been considerate and called if you knew you were going to be late!" Chichi said standing her face right up next to his. Her face was flushed with anger. She had a million more things to say to him but stopped when she noticed his expression.
"What's wrong?!!" Chichi demanded. Goku sighed and wiped the spit off his face. He was getting tired of becoming the bearer of bad news and having spit in his face. First Bulma, then Trunks, and now Chichi and Goten!
Goku sat his family down at the kitchen table and explained everything to them. After a moment of stunned silence the Son's quickly piled into their family car and took off for the hospital. Goku wanted to give Trunks some time alone with his sister and mother before their arrival.
Back at the hospital...
The doors to the emergency room were blasted open by a young man who'd just arrived with golden hair and shining like a super nova.
The controlled chaos in the ER suddenly became uncontrolled!
"AHHHH!!" Some man screamed diving under a chair.
"EEKKK!!" An old lady screamed spilling the specimen cup she'd just filled up all over the floor. A guy next to her stepped in the mess and slipped falling on his butt.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" The nurse at the nurses station screamed covering her eyes from the glare.
The policeman who had been standing by the door was knocked unconscious and laid sprawled out on the floor next to Trunks. Trunks, unaware of the terror he was causing, ran up to the nurses station.
"Where is my little sister and is my father going to be ok?!" Trunks screamed holding the poor nurse up in the air by her collar.
"Who are they?!!" The poor nurse screamed trying to breath and get away from the maniac set on killing her.
Trunks powered down and set the lady down. He glanced around the ER and realized what he had done. He'd become so enraged over what had happened to his father and sister that he stopped thinking rationally.
Trunks bowed his head with regret and began to apologize.
"I'm soooo sorry about all this." He said waving his arms around the ER. "I guess I kinda lost it a while back there. Please, don't be afraid. I'm sorry." Trunks suddenly felt dizzy and weak. The flight over must have drained him of his power. He couldn't even remember the flight over. He swayed and leaned against the wall behind him.
"Trunks?"
Trunks turned to the person addressing him. It was his mother. "Mom!" He ran up to his mother hugging her.
The nurse realized this was Bulma's son and fell down anime style behind the counter. Bulma looked around the ER and shrugged.
"Come on Trunks. Let's go see your sister." Bulma said quietly leading him away.
A few minutes later Goku and his family walked in the ER.
Goku scratches his head and looks around. "What happened here?"
Chichi and Goten looked around the ER and know instantly. "Trunks!"
Goku walked up to the nurse Trunks had attacked earlier. The nurse jumped out of her skin when she saw Goku and started screaming and pointing down the hallway to Bra's room.
"They went that way! Room 309! Please don't hurt me" Goku covered his ears in pain.
Chichi stormed up to the desk pissed off. "How dare you talk to my husband like that?! Aren't you supposed to help people? Not upset them!"
Goku laughed and put his hand on the back of his head. "Hehe.... Chichi...it's ok, Really..."
The nurse behind the station screamed once more and fainted. Chichi looked down at the nurse with disgust and stormed off. Goku and Goten followed behind her keeping their distance.
Chichi followed the rooms down until she got to room 309 and stopped in front of the door. She didn't know what she was going to say to Bulma but she understood how she must be feeling being married with two kids of her own.
A woman behind them cleared her throat getting the groups attention.
"Are you here to see the patient?" She asked wearing a green surgical suit, green hair net and mask loss around her neck. She looked like she'd just performed major surgery.
"Yes, are you Bra's doctor?" Chichi asked. The doctor shook her head. "No, I'm Vegeta's doctor."
"How is he doctor?! Did he make it through the surgery?" Chichi asked clenching her hands together making a fist. The others stood behind her looking like three tops on one pair of legs. Goten being the shortest tugged on his dads pants until he picked him up.
What an odd family the doctor thought before turning to business. "Well, the operation last over four hours and he took quite a beating but he made it through surgery all right. Now all we have to do is wait and see how he's going to recover. He's a strong man and seems pretty determined to hang on to life. I think he's got a good chance of recovering but he will have to probably stay in the hospital for a couple of weeks before we even think about sending him home. He's been moved to intensive care for now and when he's well enough to be moved into recovery you'll be notified right away." Dr Julian said whipping her brow. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm pretty tired and need to get clean up."
"Thank you Doctor." Chichi said giving the lady a hand shake. The others nodded their appreciation. Dr Julian smiled with fatigue.
"I'll check up on him periodically to make sure he's doing ok." She added walking off.
"Thanks Doc!" Goku shouted as she went through two swinging doors.
Over in intensive care...
His world was just a dream for now but at the edge of his mind he knew that's all it was. He wasn't ready to wake up yet but he wouldn't stop trying. He dreamed of everybody. He dreamed of Bulma, Kakorot, Trunks, and mostly Bra. Until he woke up, he wouldn't be sure that she was ok.
One dream that wouldn't leave him alone was one where Bra would get attacked and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. The dream started like this but after Bra thought he was dead, turned into a Super Saiyan and killed the bad guy. The guy who attacked them didn't look familiar at all. In his life he'd made so many enemies, there is no way he'd remember just one face. Some of those faces he never even looked at. He'd destroyed and conquered so many worlds. Something he now regretted more than anything. If he could take all those lives back he would.
What was that? Did he just hear some one call him? This world, none of it was real! Why can't he wake up!
In front of him stood his little girl. It was that dream again! She was playing in their front yard when that monster showed up again! Vegeta is stuck inside his house unable to do anything. He could blow a hole in the wall but another one would stand up in his way on the other side. Always another wall, preventing him from reaching her. He heard her scream. Finally he manages to get the front door open but when he stops out side she's gone and only the monster stands where she once was.
Becoming enraged Vegeta charges up to Super Saiyan two but the stranger easily dodges his attacks. Soon Vegeta finds himself pinned to the ground on his stomach with his arms behind his back and a foot on his head. He hears Bra scream at the guy holding him down and Vegeta screams for her to run away but she doesn't listen. Before he can stop the guy, he kills him and then kills Bra.
When Vegeta dies he doesn't just wake up. He lays there and watches as Bra is killed. Bra screaming for him the whole time. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Vegeta screams again just like every other time but this time, wakes up.
He's hooked up to IV's and his arms are being held down by some one. "Nooooo! Bra! Let me go! I'm gonna blast you to hell!" Vegeta screams obvious to the soothing words around him.
"Let go!" He yells yanking an IV out of his arm. Next he yanks off a heart monitor and alarms sound. When his vision clears he sees Kakorot above him and his mate. Suddenly a crash team busts through the door with doctors and nurses manning it.
"What's going on in here?!" Dr Julian demanded looking down at her patient. Goku let go of Vegeta and stepped back.
"He was having a bad dream and then he woke up and just started screaming. I didn't do anything." Goku said to his defense. After replacing his IV (which Goku couldn't stand to watch without running out of the room screaming) and hooking his heart monitor back up, the doctor's and nurses left them alone again.
Goku peeked his head through the door making sure no needles were near by and came inside. Vegeta shook his head and laid back down into Bulma's hands. She couldn't keep her hands off of him and frankly, he didn't mind.
A week later...
"I'm sick and tired of being stuck in this bed! I want out!" Vegeta yelled making sure every one in the hospital could hear him.
A nurse came into his room to check on him. Goku, Chichi, Goten and Bulma were already there.
"And what's up with all these flowers?! Looks like a damn green house in here!" He complained talking about the flowers piled up along the window and bed side table. Everyone laughed glad to hear their good old cranky Vegeta back to his normal self. The past couple of days, he'd been unusually quiet.
The reason was, he couldn't stop thinking about the attack. He'd done everything in his power to protect his daughter but still if it hadn't been for Goku, they might have both died out there. That wasn't the only thing though. It bothered him was that after watching Bra actually kill the guy, she had absolutely no memory of it and he hadn't told any body else. Goku noticed his vacant look and snapped him out of it with a question.
"How are you feeling Vegeta?" Goku asked trying to be perky but it came out as irritating to his sore ears.
"I'm fine. Where's my daughter?" Vegeta asked looking around the room.
"Who?" Goku asked jokingly.
"Kakorot!!" Vegeta growled menacingly.
"All right, all right. I'll go get her." Goku said laughing. Bulma just shook her head and laughed along with him. Goku turning around to go but almost ran into Trunks.
"Oh, hi Goku!" He said cheerfully. "Where you off to?"
"Just going to get your..." He stopped when he saw Bra standing outside the door. "sister." He finished smirking.
Vegeta saw her and couldn't suppress a smile. "Come here princess! I missed my little girl!" Bra giggled and ran up to her father. Vegeta gave her a furious hug and kiss on her head.
"How's my little girl feeling today?" He asked caressing her little cheek.
"I'm feeling much better daddy. How are you feeling?" She asked sweetly.
"Now that you're here, just wonderful." This got another giggle out of Bra. Bulma smiled and took one of Vegeta's hands. Goku and Chichi sighed contently and Trunks just crossed his arms impatient.
Vegeta felt something wiggle in Bra's pocket and pulled her away to look at her within arms length. He looked at her pocked. Something was moving inside.
"Bra sweet heart? What's in your pocket?" Vegeta asked. Bra got all wide eyed and covered her pocket with her hand.
"Oh, nothing." She said innocently. Bulma was curious as to what it could be too.
"Bra, what do you have?" She asked lovingly but sternly. Goku, Chichi, and Trunks also wanted to see what was in Bra's pocket so stood closer by the bed peering down at Bra. Now that she had every ones attention she had no choice but to show them.
She pulled out something white and fluffy. "It's a rabbit!" Goku shouted. Chichi slaps him over his head with a purse. "No kidding? Really?!" She said sarcastically.
Bulma crossed her arms and shook her head. "Bra! You know better than to bring that thing in here!" Bra looked down at her pet sadly and was about to put it back in her pocket when it jumped out of her hands onto Vegeta.
Before Vegeta could react the rabbit ran under his hospital gown. Vegeta's eyes shot wide open and he began thrashing around on the bed.
"AHHH! AHHH! Gasp HE! HEHE! HAHAHA! OH gasp THAT gasp TICKLES!!" Vegeta was screaming hysterically and kicking like crazy. Everyone started laughing hysterically.
THE END!

The dream started like this but after Bra thought he was dead, turned into a Super Saiyan and killed the bad guy. The guy who attacked them didn't look familiar at all. In his life he'd made so many enemies, there is no way he'd remember just one face. Some of those faces he never even looked at. He'd destroyed and conquered so many worlds. Something he now regretted more than anything. If he could take all those lives back he would.
What was that? Did he just hear some one call him? This world, none of it was real! Why can't he wake up!
In front of him stood his little girl. It was that dream again! She was playing in their front yard when that monster showed up again! Vegeta is stuck inside his house unable to do anything. He could blow a hole in the wall but another one would stand up in his way on the other side. Always another wall, preventing him from reaching her. He heard her scream. Finally he manages to get the front door open but when he stops out side she's gone and only the monster stands where she once was.
Becoming enraged Vegeta charges up to Super Saiyan two but the stranger easily dodges his attacks. Soon Vegeta finds himself pinned to the ground on his stomach with his arms behind his back and a foot on his head. He hears Bra scream at the guy holding him down and Vegeta screams for her to run away but she doesn't listen. Before he can stop the guy, he kills him and then kills Bra.
When Vegeta dies he doesn't just wake up. He lays there and watches as Bra is killed. Bra screaming for him the whole time. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Vegeta screams again just like every other time but this time, wakes up.
He's hooked up to IV's and his arms are being held down by some one. "Nooooo! Bra! Let me go! I'm gonna blast you to hell!" Vegeta screams obvious to the soothing words around him.
"Let go!" He yells yanking an IV out of his arm. Next he yanks off a heart monitor and alarms sound. When his vision clears he sees Kakorot above him and his mate. Suddenly a crash team busts through the door with doctors and nurses manning it.
"What's going on in here?!" Dr Julian demanded looking down at her patient. Goku let go of Vegeta and stepped back.
"He was having a bad dream and then he woke up and just started screaming. I didn't do anything." Goku said to his defense. After replacing his IV (which Goku couldn't stand to watch without running out of the room screaming) and hooking his heart monitor back up, the doctor's and nurses left them alone again.
Goku peeked his head through the door making sure no needles were near by and came inside. Vegeta shook his head and laid back down into Bulma's hands. She couldn't keep her hands off of him and frankly, he didn't mind.
A week later...
"I'm sick and tired of being stuck in this bed! I want out!" Vegeta yelled making sure every one in the hospital could hear him.
A nurse came into his room to check on him. Goku, Chichi, Goten and Bulma were already there.
"And what's up with all these flowers?! Looks like a damn green house in here!" He complained talking about the flowers piled up along the window and bed side table. Everyone laughed glad to hear their good old cranky Vegeta back to his normal self. The past couple of days, he'd been unusually quiet.
The reason was, he couldn't stop thinking about the attack. He'd done everything in his power to protect his daughter but still if it hadn't been for Goku, they might have both died out there. That wasn't the only thing though. It bothered him was that after watching Bra actually kill the guy, she had absolutely no memory of it and he hadn't told any body else. Goku noticed his vacant look and snapped him out of it with a question.
"How are you feeling Vegeta?" Goku asked trying to be perky but it came out as irritating to his sore ears.
"I'm fine. Where's my daughter?" Vegeta asked looking around the room.
"Who?" Goku asked jokingly.
"Kakorot!!" Vegeta growled menacingly.
"All right, all right. I'll go get her." Goku said laughing. Bulma just shook her head and laughed along with him. Goku turning around to go but almost ran into Trunks.
"Oh, hi Goku!" He said cheerfully. "Where you off to?"
"Just going to get your..." He stopped when he saw Bra standing outside the door. "sister." He finished smirking.
Vegeta saw her and couldn't suppress a smile. "Come here princess! I missed my little girl!" Bra giggled and ran up to her father. Vegeta gave her a furious hug and kiss on her head.
"How's my little girl feeling today?" He asked caressing her little cheek.
"I'm feeling much better daddy. How are you feeling?" She asked sweetly.
"Now that you're here, just wonderful." This got another giggle out of Bra. Bulma smiled and took one of Vegeta's hands. Goku and Chichi sighed contently and Trunks just crossed his arms impatient.
Vegeta felt something wiggle in Bra's pocket and pulled her away to look at her within arms length. He looked at her pocked. Something was moving inside.
"Bra sweet heart? What's in your pocket?" Vegeta asked. Bra got all wide eyed and covered her pocket with her hand.
"Oh, nothing." She said innocently. Bulma was curious as to what it could be too.
"Bra, what do you have?" She asked lovingly but sternly. Goku, Chichi, and Trunks also wanted to see what was in Bra's pocket so stood closer by the bed peering down at Bra. Now that she had every ones attention she had no choice but to show them.
She pulled out something white and fluffy. "It's a rabbit!" Goku shouted. Chichi slaps him over his head with a purse. "No kidding? Really?!" She said sarcastically.
Bulma crossed her arms and shook her head. "Bra! You know better than to bring that thing in here!" Bra looked down at her pet sadly and was about to put it back in her pocket when it jumped out of her hands onto Vegeta.
Before Vegeta could react the rabbit ran under his hospital gown. Vegeta's eyes shot wide open and he began thrashing around on the bed.
"AHHH! AHHH! Gasp HE! HEHE! HAHAHA! OH gasp THAT gasp TICKLES!!" Vegeta was screaming hysterically and kicking like crazy. Everyone started laughing hysterically.
THE END!
