Chapter 6
Vegeta awoke with the sun in his eyes. He did not blink; he was one with the sun. He was one with the earth, ever since he had acquired the spirit bomb technique; he always felt the earth's presence, and all things that effect it. Except for evil beings such as Mez, he couldn't even sense its power level. The sun was one thing as strong and powerful as him, and he respected it. Getting up from bed, he heard voices in the kitchen. He scratched himself lazily and let out a roaring yawn.
He splashed some cold water on his face and stepped into the kitchen to see who was there. Suddenly over twenty eyes were upon him and their mouths were all laughing. Vegeta sneered, "What are you all laughing about?"
He then realized they were laughing at his nakedness. Oolong was snorting with laughter as Bulma gaped, blushing at them all seeing her husband naked. She jumped in front of him and spread out her arms.
"Go get dressed," she hissed. Vegeta only pushed past her and over to the cupboard, passing a stunned Chi-Chi. He stretched out his arms and grabbed a bag of pop-tarts from the cabinet and started to walk slowly back into his room.
Chi-Chi hooded her eyes and muttered to herself. Vegeta turned and smirked, "What's the matter woman, like what you see?"
Bulma playfully smacked him on the back, trying to push him into the bedroom. At the sight of Bulma trying to move him, and Vegeta not budging, everyone laughed louder.
Vegeta walked into the room and put some work out clothes on. Back in the kitchen everyone's laughter had started to die down. Krillin smiled, "He was blushing!"
18 looked amazed, "I've never seen him blush before." She uncovered Marron's eyes and folded her arms.
Gotenks was rolling on the floor laughing, and Tien's three eyes were lowered. "That was very embarrassing."
"Oh lighten up Tien," Chautziou laughed, "It was funny." Videl was shaking her head in silence. She wasn't in the mood for laughing. She still missed Gohan.
Then Vegeta walked back into the room, and everyone quieted down. "If being nude in my own home is considered a crime, then you can all just leave," he snapped.
Ox King broke up the subject by announcing why everyone was there. "Everyone knows it's Krillin's Birthday, so lets all wish him happiness for another year!"
Everyone shouted Happy Birthday, and he scratched his head.
"Oh gee guys, thanks a lot. But I really wish Goku were here." At this everyone nodded and Chi-Chi smiled.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Yamcha grinned. "I've got some things for everyone, they're from Goku."
Chi-Chi frowned, "Really? I didn't know you had some of Goku's things." She tapped her foot in anticipation. "Well, what are they?" she smiled.
He grinned sheepishly, "Oh just a few of his favorite things." Vegeta looked around and spotted Gotenks on the floor.
He jumped up and pointed at them, "Boys! Unfuse right now!" Gotenks slumped his shoulders.
"Why Vegeta?" He looked really disappointed, and Vegeta almost gave in when he remembered Mez.
"No, you need every bit of strength you have. Mez knows where we live, and he could attack at any time."
At this Gotenks gaped, "Ok dad! Yes sir!" There was a loud pop and Goten and Trunks stood there laughing. "That was great," Goten cheered.
"Yeah," Trunks agreed.
Bulma sat by Vegeta and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. You're too cautious hon, they're kids. And our kids like to fuse."
Vegeta scowled and threw her off of him. "That thing is not my son," he bellowed pointing at Goten. Bulma could sense the tenseness in the air and quickly changed the subject.
"Look Vegeta, Ox King brought you a gift."
Vegeta smiled at Ox King politely, "Hello Ox King."
Ox King Cheerfully put out his hand to shake and laughed, "Hiya Vegeta!" Vegeta did not shake it. He put his hand in his pocket, trying to not look foolish for his handshake being turned down. He pulled out a wrapped cylinder and showed it to Vegeta.
"Well lets see then," Vegeta asked calmly, but not without interest.
As Ox King unwrapped he said, "this was Goku's old weapon, he left it to you." What was revealed was a small red pole.
Vegeta cocked his eyebrow, "What is it?"
Piccolo cut in with amazement. "It's Goku's old power pole, this thing is one of a kind. When you say power pole extend, it will grow to any size you wish. I'm afraid it's no use to you, but it's the thought that counts I guess."
"Kakorot wanted to give me this? Well if it's the thought that counts I'll accept it then." He took the pole with distaste and set it down on the table. He thought, Why would Kakorot give this to me? He then picked it up, changing his mind, he didn't want anything from Kakorot!
Vegeta picked it up and tossed it back to him. "I have no use for such a silly thing, perhaps Krillin would like it."
Yamcha sighed, "When he gave me this note, he told me you'd do something like this, just read the note.
Picking up the note, Vegeta read it twice with disbelief. Kakorot had thought of him as an ally, a friend? Ox King started to pass out the other gifts to people.
Note-----
If you're reading this, then I am gone. It's been fun guys, but I've got some junk to get rid of right now. Chi, I love you, and I'll see you when fate brings us back together.
Gohan-hang tough, you're going to be the greatest fighter ever, I know you can do it son.
Krillin-We've been friends our whole lives, and I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise, but I'll see you later.
Vegeta- I know we've had our differences, but I'm sure you see that we've become good friends over the years. I'll miss you, and when I see you again, we can finally have our fight.
Goten-Though you haven't known me very long, I'll always love you. I'm trusting you to take care of your mother.
I leave you-
Master Roshi-cable television, thank you master for everything
Tien-my four star dragonball, keep it safe old friend.
Chautziou- my favorite books
Vegeta-my prized possession, my old power pole
Yamcha-Lucky pendant
Krillin-my best fishing rod(knew you'd want it bud)
Piccolo-My indestructible chopsticks
Chi-Chi-my eternal love
The not went on, but Vegeta quit after that. He quietly picked the power pole back up and bowed his head. "It is an honor Kakarot, thank you." He walked out side to get some fresh air and gaped at what he saw. A cloud was sitting in front of him with scrawled letters on it.
It was the same cloud that he had arrived on when Vegeta first met him. "The Nimbus," he recalled. On the piece of paper were six letters. VEGETA.
He smiled and got on as Master Roshi whooped inside, "Cable Television!"
