Christmas Without The Merry pt1
Disclaimer: I do not own the Christmas holiday or any of its season stuff (e.g. songs, Santa Claus, TV specials etc). I also do not own "I can't believe it's not butter" or "Mr muscle".
A/N: I thought I'd do a proper story for the festive season ^_^ but the DBZ guys won't see it that way. Anyhoo, just read!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vegeta was snoring soundly when he heard a loud yell from Trunks. He had such a fright that he hit his head on the ceiling.
"OW! DAMN IT!!" Vegeta cursed as Trunks rushed into the room and started jumping on the bed. "What is the matter with you brat?! I was sleeping!"
"It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing!" Trunks yelled very hyperactively. Vegeta groaned and looked at the clock. It flashed 6:00 am. He looked over and saw that Bulma was not there.
"Where is your mother?" Vegeta asked. Trunks kept jumping up and down.
"She's making stuff for a party!"
"I was never informed of a party!"
"Well, you know what mom's like! C'mon dad! Come play with me in the snow!!" Trunks yelled as he dragged Vegeta outside.
"Just hold on a minute brat, what the hell is snow?!" Vegeta yelled as Trunks took him outside. Now, we all know what Vegeta is like, the guy hardly ever wears a shirt. So you can imagine what happened. Vegeta ran in faster than food goes in Goku's mouth. Trunks stood there blinking.
"Dad?"
Later on…"So, snow is rain but frozen." Vegeta wanted to clarify.
"More or less." Bulma replied, trying hard not to laugh.
"But, it never gets this cold where we live. So how come it's snowing?" Vegeta asked.
"These things happen. Not usually, but they do happen." Bulma said. "Now, make yourself useful and go and sit on the couch. I have a party to prepare!"
"What?! Another party! But you had one last month!" Vegeta yelled.
"This is different! We're having a Christmas party!" Bulma replied, gritting through her teeth.
"Oh that commercial holiday with all the trees and crap. We usually go over to Kakarrot's house for that!"
"Yes, but I've decided my house is better equipped to have a party."
"You mean it's less easier to destroy?"
"Your words Veggie-chan. Not mine." Bulma walked off into the kitchen.
"I HAVE TOLD YOU A MILLION TIMES ONNA! DON'T CALL ME THAT ACCURSED NICKNAME!" Vegeta yelled as he sat down in a huff. He flipped on the TV and saw a Christmas TV special. "Hmm…he looks awfully familiar."
Over at the Son residence…Goku, Gohan and Goten were all sleeping when they heard a big yell from downstairs. They all flew down in SSJ.
"What?! What is it?!" Goku asked frantically.
"L-l-l-l-l-l-look! Goku, it's snowing!" Chi-Chi yelled. The other Sons face-faulted.
"That's what you woke us up for?!" Goku yelled as Chi-Chi gave him the evil eye. He sheepishly laughed. "Gomen…"
"Now we can't have the family Christmas dinner I wanted to cook. No one will be able to get through the snow safely. It's never this cold where we live!!" Chi-Chi wailed. All of a sudden the phone rang. Chi-Chi went to go pick it up. "Hello?"
"Hey Chi-Chi! Listen, I was wondering if we could host the dinner at my house instead! Since it's less easier to destroy and all!" Bulma chirped. **Hehe, this way everyone can remember that the party was at my house!**
"Really Bulma? Are you sure?" Chi-Chi asked. **Yes! This works out for me just fine!**
"Yes, of course I'm sure!" Bulma chirped. Chi-Chi smirked craftily.
"Dad, what's wrong with Kaasan's mouth?" Goten asked.
"Nothing son, she's just scheming." Goku replied nonchalantly. Gohan sweat-dropped.
"But Bulma, how are you going to get a cook on such short notice?" Chi-Chi asked, trying to mask the gloating in her voice. Bulma face-faulted.
"Erm…" Bulma uttered. **Think! Think!!** "I was gonna ask if you could cook for us?"
"I don't know…I mean, it's such short notice! I don't know if I'll be able to!" Chi-Chi said.
"Please Chi-Chi!" Bulma begged.
"Oh, alright! We'll be right over. Just phone everyone else and tell them to come over to your house okay? Bai bai!" Chi-Chi said as she hung up the phone. Chi-Chi rubbed her hands together and laughed maniacally. "Get dressed and bring some extra fancy clothes boys! We're going to a party!"
"Um, Gohan? What just happened here?" Goku asked his son.
"From what I've gathered, kaasan must've tricked Bulma into cooking at the party which is now over at Capsule Corps." Gohan said.
"Oh…" Goku said.
Over at CC, a few hours later…
The whole gang (that could be found anyway ^_^) had arrived at CC and were waiting for Goku and his family to come. Trunks had already proceeded in teasing Marron and making her cry, which got him a death look from #18. Bulma was nervously pacing back and forth from the living room and into the lounge. Piccolo was watching her from the corner where he had chosen to stand with an amused look on his face.
"What's wrong with her?" Krillin asked Yamcha.
"Dunno. She's most probably making a trench to hide in when Vegeta and Goku go at it." Yamcha grinned.
"I heard that!" Vegeta remarked. Finally, the doorbell rang.
"I'LL GET IT!!" Bulma yelled as she whooshed pass her guests, knocking them to the floor. She opened the door to find the Sons standing there. Videl had come along with Gohan too. "Finally, you're here!"
"Yes, well, it took us a while!" Chi-Chi said, while giving a death glare to her sons.
"It's not my fault that the clothes you picked out for me were icky mamma!" Goten said in his most adorable voice putting out the puppy dog eyes. Chi-Chi's glare softened.
"That's okay sweetie." Chi-Chi said as they walked inside. Trunks slipped Goten a discreet high five. "So, where's the kitchen?"
"I know where it is Chi-Chi! Let's go!" Goku beamed as he grabbed Chi-Chi's hand and ran past the guests knocking them on the floor again.
"You know, I'm beginning to wonder if we should just stay down here…" Krillin muttered.
"Goku, are we there yet?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Almost…" Goku said as he swerved.
"AAAH!"
"Sorry Chi-Chi!" Goku laughed as they came into the kitchen. "It's big huh?"
Silence.
"Chi-Chi?"
More silence.
"CHI-CHI!!" Goku yelled as he saw her sprawled out on the floor.
Back in the living room…
"I hope the kitchen is clean enough for Chi-Chi." Bulma worried. Vegeta rolled his eyes and looked over to the three kids, who were watching "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas".
"I like that Grinch!" Vegeta commented.
"But Vegeta-san, he's evil!" Goten said.
"Yah dad!" Trunks added.
"He dressed up like Santa! Ya know, good ol' Saint Nick!" Marron beamed. Vegeta chortled.
"Saint Nick, eh? He's not such a saint." Vegeta smirked.
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked. Vegeta ushered the kids to a corner of the room. He cleared his throat and sat down with them.
"Now, you may think that this so-called 'Santa Claus' is a really good guy. Brings presents to good kids and gives the naughty ones coal. Therefore bringing world harmony…well it's a load of b…" Vegeta stopped himself before he cursed in front of the kids. "Baloney. Santa Claus is actually a Saiya-jin exiled from the planet Vegeta."
"Really?!" The three kids exclaimed.
"Yes. You see, he was different than all the rest of the Saiya-jins. He never wanted to train, he was fat and tubby and above all he had white hair. No Saiya-jins get white hair…EVER!" Vegeta said. He recollected himself. "Every year, he used to go around the planet and drop presents down the chimneys of houses and such. But he had hidden matters…he was actually surveying the houses when he dropped by to see what was the easiest way to steal stuff from them and wreck their stuff."
"Are you sure dad?" Trunks asked.
"Of course I'm sure!! You know how when you put two socks in the tumble dryer and only one comes out?"
"Yeah…"
"Santa's doing."
"Kami-sama!" The kids uttered.
"Yeah. That's why you're meant to leave cookies and milk out. He is a Saiya-jin after all." Vegeta smirked. "So, when the King found out he decided that it was too dangerous to keep him around anymore. Plus, it was getting annoying that he had to wear two different socks all the time. Santa was arrested and sent to Earth."
"I can't believe that Santa is evil!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Yah! I used to think he was such a good person!" Marron exclaimed. Vegeta got up and walked away.
"Merry Christmas kids." Vegeta smirked.
"Hey guys, isn't tonight the night when Santa comes down the chimney to drop presents?" Goten asked. The other two gulped.
"Aww man! We've got to think of a way to stop him, before he ruins Christmas!" Trunks exclaimed.
To Be Continued…
What has happened to Chi-Chi? Will the kids be able to stop Santa? Will the insanity continue?!
