A/N: Merry Christmas, everyone! I decided to write a holiday story, and here it is! Enjoy!
"Feliz Navidad"
Chapter 1: You're Such A Scrooge!
Vegeta was miserable. He was always miserable, but he was even more so this month. It was December again, and December meant Christmas was on the way. Everyone was so happy-go-lucky in December. People were hanging up decorations, singing carols, and buying presents to give to friends and loved ones. Bulma was out shopping with the kids, and he was stuck with Goku for the whole dang day.
"Bah, humbug!" muttered Vegeta, scowling. "I hate Christmas!"
"Aw, c'mon Vegeta!" Goku cried from the living room. He was carrying boxes of ornaments over to the tree. In addition to his regular Gi, Goku now sported a Santa hat. He put the boxes down and bounded over to Vegeta, smiling. "It's Christmas!" He put a hand on Vegeta's shoulder. "It's a time of love and joy, giving to others, and peace on Earth, not to mention eggnog!"
"Feh," Vegeta replied, scowling even more. "Christmas means maxed out credit cards, high electric bills, itchy sweaters, and fruitcake." He shuddered at the word "fruitcake". The year before, he had nearly broken his jaw trying to eat a piece of fruitcake.
"Vegeta, where's your Christmas spirit?" Goku lightly punched Vegeta in the arm.
"Bah, humbug!" cried Vegeta.
A shrill cry broke the atmosphere. A saiyan angel in a santa suit came bounding into the room. Her black hair was tied back in a ponytail while her black eyes sparkled in the light. She shook some maracas and began to sing.
"Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad, prospero año y felicidad!" she joyously sang. "I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas! I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas! I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart!"
"Navida!" Vegeta shouted in shock. "What in the name of heaven has gotten into you?!"
"Vegeta, are you talking to your guardian angel again?" asked Goku, puzzled. When he didn't get a response, he shrugged. "I'm going to get some eggnog. Bye." He left the room and started his hunt for the well-hidden eggnog.
"It's Christmas, Vegeta-chan!" Navida smiled, shaking her maracas. "Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad!" She danced around the room.
"Bah, humbug!" Vegeta replied. Navida flew over to him and hung on his neck. He scowled some more. "I hate Christmas!"
"You're such a Scrooge, Vegeta!" She dropped her maracas and stopped smiling. "Don't you know what Christmas is about?" There was a concerned tone to her voice.
"Yeah," growled Vegeta, crossing his arms. "Me getting tangled up in the cords of colored lights, the brats fighting over toys, and Bulma 'borrowing' my credit cards to pay for her shopping sprees." Frustrated, he sat crosslegged on the ground, which forced Navida to let go.
"Christmas is more than that!" the angel protested. "It's about love and joy, giving to others, peace on Earth, and Grandma's special golden eggnog." She smiled dreamily at the mention of eggnog. "Yum." She snapped out of her daze quickly. "But that's beside the point! You've got to get in the Christmas spirit! There's only one way to get a Scrooge like you to do that: go back to the beginning!"
Navida opened a time portal in the middle of the room. She then grabbed Vegeta by the back of his shirt and proceeded to drag him to the portal.
"Where are you taking me?!" shouted a confused Vegeta. Navida smiled.
"To the beginning, silly! You're going to see the origin of Christmas!" She then jumped into the portal with Vegeta.
"I don't want to goooooooooooooo!"
It was too late. The portal closed behind them, leaving no route for escape. As they flew through time, Navida began to rap.
"The time tunnel kicks us back to the year 5 BC. We are gonna get to see the birth of little JC! You'll meet Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem, too! We're gonna…"
"I hate rap," mumbled Vegeta as his guardian angel dragged him through the time tunnel.
