Chapter 1 Part 2:  The Life of a Prince?

The Prologue (or the opening)

      Vegeta sighed and entered into the kitchen to find something to eat or at least something to snack on.  He first opened and looked into the refrigerator.  Nothing, just water and some leftover lemonade.  He then checked in all the cabinets.  Still nothing, not even cooking oil.  He looked around at his surroundings and saw nothing, no food whatsoever set on the counters.  He only saw a crystal clear cookie jar with a couple of crumbs left over from the last batch of chocolate-chip cookies Bulma's mom had once made for them.  'Mmm... Cookies!' His tummy seemed to say as it let out a huge hungry growl.  Boy, was he hungry! Too bad there was nothing to satisfy the poor Prince's hunger.  Then it just hit him. 'Great!' He grumbled.  'It's Saturday! No doubt the onna wants me to go shopping for groceries!'  He sighed and spotted the note she left him and the almost two feet long grocery list.

Dear Vegeta,

    Please take care of the groceries for me.  I've just been too busy to do them myself lately.  Here's the grocery list, please get EVERYTHING on it.  And I mean EVERYTHING!  Buy NO more sweets and bring them in the house!  You know what happens when you eat sugar, especially chocolate!  Oh and money... You know what to do!  Thanks honey!

~Love

Bulma

    Vegeta let out a grunt and looked at the long grocery list.  Yep, this will take him the rest of the whole day, afternoon even, to complete.  The list just seems to get longer and even longer every week.  Not that he minded any at all getting all of it, he is a Saiyan and Saiyans do tend to eat a lot.  Okay, a whole HELL of a lot!  But still, he couldn't help but wonder why Bulma seemed to be showing only little, short appearances the past weeks as well.  If he wasn't training, she'd encourage him to do so, even though he announced that he would like to spend some quality time with the family.  She'd sometimes tell him to take the kids out shopping or go somewhere fun, but never come with them.  If he didn't know any better, he'd think that she was avoiding him for some reason.  'Could the reason be that she is...could she be... NO!'  As soon that thought came into his mind, he shivered and tried to vanquish it, but for some reason it wouldn't go away.  The thought has been haunting him for weeks, which had turned into months, which had turned into years, it felt like it had turned into an eternity, for he had lost time in how long this feeling had haunted him.  Ever since he was with her, even for the first time, he has long doubted her loyalties towards him.  He thought, even though how much he loves her, that something felt amidst with their relationship.  Could it be that it's still in the beginning of becoming mutual?  No, that can't be it!  They had two children together for crying-out-loud!  Vegeta sighed.  He just doesn't know what to feel anymore, all he knew was that something was up and he had a terrible feeling that he were to find out what it is, he will not like it.    

TO BE CONTINUED

Tyra: Sorry if that chapter/part seemed SO short.  I've got writers block!  ^__^;;;  But if you want, you guys can give me pointers if you like.  What I'm doing is, is that I'm trying to first get out Vegeta's emotions and how he feels before I actually write the story.  It may have some flash backs, I don't know as of yet.  Oh, and don't worry about the plot, I've got that handled!  ^_^
