~*~*~*~ Goku the Red-Nosed Reindeer ~*~*~*~

~*~*~ By: Sabre Black ~*~*~

Goku braced himself as Chi-chi slowly got up and made her way toward him. He counted off in his mind '3 . . . 2 . . . 1.'

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING!? GOHAN COULDN'T CONCENTRATE ON HIS STUDIES BECAUSE HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU! YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT GOHAN STUDIES! WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU, GOKU!?" Chi- chi screamed.

Goku suppressed a sigh; he was very tired and wanted to go to bed but Chi-chi just kept on screaming.

~*~

Gohan woke up suddenly hearing his mother scream and jumped out of bed, ready to charge in and help her but then he realized what she was saying and realized his father must be home. His face lit up and he ran into the living room and hugged Goku. "Dad! You're back! Where were you? I was worried about you!"

Goku ruffled Gohan's hair, "Sorry, kid, I was helping Vegeta with something. Go on back to bed," said Goku. Gohan nodded and went back to his room and Goku stared at Chi-chi apprehensively. She looked like she was ready to explode but suddenly all anger disappeared.

"I'm glad you're okay," said Chi-chi then she went to bed. Goku was shocked but slowly followed her.

~*~

Goku woke up the next morning and found Chi-chi making breakfast, she seemed to have screamed out all her frustration the night before. Little did he know, Vegeta had it worse over at Capsule Corp.

~*~ At Capsule Corp. ~*~

"I stayed up for hours, Vegeta! You could have had the decency to at least call me!"

"I didn't have a phone, baka!" Vegeta yelled at his wife.

"Don't you call me a baka! You're the one who went out and stayed away without even telling me where you were going and being rude to our guests!" Bulma screamed.

"I don't care about Kakarot's family!"

"You will now! And why did Goku go with you? What was SO important that you both had to leave!? Huh!? Tell me!"

Vegeta definitely did NOT want to tell Bulma about his embarrassing adventure as Santa but he just couldn't take this anymore so he told her. All anger vanished and she fell to the floor laughing.

"Y-y-you dressed u-up as S-s-s-s-Santa?" said Bulma in-between laughs.

"Quiet! Stop laughing or I'll send you to the next dimension!" Vegeta screamed, veins throbbing in his temple.

Bulma stood up, still sniggering. "So that's why you had all that tinsel in your hair . . ." she said thoughtfully. Vegeta turned red with anger.

Trunks walked in. "What's all the yelling about?"

"Nothing," said Vegeta quickly.

"Well, your father stayed out late last night dressed up as Santa Claus," said Bulma, knowing Trunks didn't believe in Santa anymore, thanks to Vegeta.

Trunks' eyes widened then he burst out laughing.

"Quiet, brat! It's time to train!" said Vegeta, heading for the Gravitron.

"But what about breakfast?" said Trunks.

"NOW!" yelled Vegeta and Trunks followed his father into the Gravitron, still laughing on the inside at the thought of Vegeta in a Santa suit.
