Chapter 2: Surprise, Surprise

Vegeta sighed. What were those brats yelling about now?
Something about the girl?
"Dad!" Trunks came running into the room where Vegeta watched
TV. "That girl you brought home!"
"What about her?" Vegeta growled.
"She's...she's...." He seemed out of breath, for whatever reason.
"Spit it out, boy. What is it?" Now he was getting angry.
"She's awake!" Trunks said. Vegeta raised an eyebrow. The girl
had been out all day. He had questions for
her, a lot of them, but he hid his curiosity. He got out of his chair
and walked out towards the living room,
where the girl sat on the couch. She had her head between her
knees and seemed like she was going to be
sick.
"Ugh, my head..."she moaned. Vegeta walked closer until he was
right in front of her.
"Get up." He ordered. She tilted her head up a little, enough for the
pure blackness of her eyes to land on
him.
"Kami, not you again..." she turned around and flopped back on
the couch. "I must be dreaming..."
"How dare you disrespect the Prince of Saiyans! You should be
bowing before me!" He yelled at her.
"Oh stick it in your ear Vegeta." She shot back.
Vegeta just stared. Such insolence! Anger started brewing inside
him. He wanted to hit some sense into her,
but instead, he took another peek into her thoughts. It was still
mostly turmoil and random gibberish that he
couldn't decipher. But he caught a few things, like Ow, my head...
and Baka Vegeta Mister High-and-
Mighty can't let me sleep. But the thing that stood out the most
was: Dear Kami I can't believe I'm here.
This is so weird. I wonder if... That was all he could catch. From
there on it went back to randomness.
The thoughts only made Vegeta angrier. He had taken this girl off
the streets, and this is the thanks he got? And what had caused the
sudden change in attitude? One minute, she was terrified, the next
she was mouthing off and ignoring him. He shook his head. What
could he do?
He decided to wait for Bulma. Let the woman deal with the brat.
Bulma walked through the door to her house. She had just gone for
walk to calm herself. Vegeta had, once again, destroyed the
Gravity Chamber. They took all day to fix. And Vegeta would
probably be lounging around, instead of going to get the groceries
she asked for. But maybe he had gone and got them. And maybe
Trunks and Goten hadn't mangled or destroyed part of the house.
Pfft. She thought. Yeah, maybe. The sarcasm was more than
evident, as was the surprise on her face when she saw the grocery
bags sitting on the counter next to the empty capsules that had
carried them. Well, 1 out of two isn't bad. She thought. Then she
noticed Trunks and Goten, with their backs to her, peeking around
the corner into the living room and whispering back and forth. She
came up behind them and tapped them on the shoulders.
"Whatcha looking at?" she said.
"Eep!" They both said, and flipped around.
"Goten, stall her." Trunks whispered, then disappeared around the
corner. Bulma stared hard at Goten.
"Where's Trunks going?" she asked. Goten just stammered
something about Vegeta and "letting him know your home.." Now
Bulma was suspicious. She eyed Goten then tried to look around
the corner, but was quickly blocked by Vegeta, who seemed to
come out of nowhere. Trunks was right beside him.
"Woman, you're home. Good, I'm hungry." Vegeta said, and
crossed his arms over his chest.
"Well congratulations, Vegeta, make yourself something to eat."
She tried to look around Vegeta and into the living room again, but
he blocked her.
"Make me something to eat, woman." He commanded.
"I already told you, Vegeta. Make it your self!" She shot a death
glare at him. "I want to sleep. I'm tired." She pushed him one last
time. He sighed, and moved to allow her passage through the
living room. Heh, she thought, I've won again. But as she passed
through the living room, Bulma noticed a still figure lying with
it's back to her on the couch. It was obviously a girl, but the thing
that stood out was her dark brown, black-striped black tail.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
Vegeta winced, then readied himself for what was to come.
