In bed with the Saiyajins
After what seemed to be a long journey back to Ash's, Red explains as much as possible (and allowed!) to Goku whilst Ash worked on fixing her computer and Vegeta tries, rather unenthusiastically, to revive Doc and notices something
"Red? Where do you place your hand if you want to feel someone's pulse?" Red shrugs Vegeta then looks toward Ash
"Ash?" Ash looks at him
"Either at the side of your throat or just below your wrist, why?"
"This girl, Doc, she doesn't have one."
As he spoke he checked again at the places that Ash mentioned. Red and Goku go over to Vegeta and Doc. Goku checks her heartbeat as well and looks up at Red
"He's right" Red backs off as Goku says these words
"But...but how? Nobody hurt her, she just fell over when saw Goku." Doc gets up for about two seconds and then falls down again, this happens quite a few times, first because she realises she has a tail second, the fact that she is in the same room with the two Saiyans she sees on TV every day seems too much for her to withstand and the list goes on.
"Fascinating" Vegeta lifts Docs hand after she falls down for the fourth time and lets it drop to the ground again
"She has the ability to die and come back to life without anyone hurting her, her body just seems to give up if she gets over-excited." Ash was already busy at her computer again
"Well that explains it." Red shrugs and goes to join her.
Goku volunteers to carry Doc to the lounge and place her on a couch with some blankets so that she can sleep off her dying spells.
Red and Vegeta stare at the door Goku had just gone through and Vegeta is the first to notice their problem
"Did you kids bother to think about where Kakarot and I are to sleep?" Red turns to Ash
"Ash? You still have those extra beds right? I mean, with your brothers gone and all?" Ash rotates slowly around in her chair
"Yes, but it's just two single beds one mine and the other for guests. You'll have to share a bed with Kakarotto, Bejita." Vegeta frowns
"A Saiyan prince deserves a bed of his own." Ash turns back to her computer
"Well, your highness you don't have much of a choice." Red's face lights up
"Yes he does, he can sleep by me!" Vegeta steps back with a shocked expression on his face. Red looks back at him crossly
"Whaaat? You slept with me in space when we were training on Namek!" Vegeta looks at her in horror and before he can answer Ash snorts, stifling a laugh and pushes herself away from her desk
"I giggle need to go to the uh snort bathroom." She leaves the room and Vegeta hears Ash laughing hysterically just as the door closes behind her. Vegeta's hands ball into fists
"How dare she!? I'll get her, she'll rue the day she…"
"AHEM!" Red was still looking at Vegeta. He turns his head to look at her she didn't look too impressed.
"You" Vegeta begins, "are…" he never does finish his sentence because just then Goku walks in with a towel around his waist and Ash laying loosely in his arms, she was out cold.
"KAKAROT! JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING KNOCKING OUT INNOCENT KIDS? DIDN'T I TELL YOU THEY WERE MINE? ARE YOU…"
"Hold up" Goku puts Ash down "I didn't do anything." Red walks in front of Vegeta and points a finger in his face
"YOU SHOULD TALK LAST ABOUT HURTING THE INNOCENT, DON'T FORGET YOU WERE TRYING TO DESTROY EARTH AT ONE POINT!!
Vegeta ignores her
"Fine Kakarot, if you didn't hurt her what happened, DID SHE BLAST HERSELF IN THE HEAD!?"
"No" replied Goku "You see I was getting into the shower when I heard something so I turned around and there she was, out like a light." Vegeta turns and walks toward Ash's desk smiling
"Well that explains it, and I don't blame her, I'd faint too if I saw you in the nude." Goku jumps back and then walks forward again
"WHA…? That can't be why; you're just being mean! Red, tell him he's being mean." Red looks at him, shrugs and goes over to revive Ash,
"But.. it doesn't…she couldn't of.." he sighs, drops his arms and lets his head hang "You're all a bunch of meanies!" and he slams the door behinds him as he leaves.
It now seemed futile to try and wake Ash so Red and Vegeta decide to call it a day and turn in. Vegeta makes himself comfortable in Ash's bed whilst Red was arguing from the guest bed opposite to Ash's
"I still don't get it, I mean we were cool on Namek, WHAT'S WITH THE SUDDEN CHANGE?!". Vegeta ignores her and roles over, showing his back to her when some one taps him on the back, he turns around and sees a angry face looking directly at him "MOVE!!" it was Ash
"Hmm, so you're over your shock?" he says as he pulled the blankets tighter around him.
"Yes, now GET OUT OF MY BED!" Vegeta doesn't move
"Why? Just go sleep next to Red, and besides I don't feel like moving, I'm already getting warm." Ash's hands were balled into fists and they were shaking with anger. "You are sleeping next to Kakarotto, I'M NOT LETTING THAT PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A SAIYAN SLEEP IN MY BED! NOW GO SLEEP NEXT TO RED! SHE CAN MOVE NEXT TO ME IF KAKAROTTO DECIDES TO SLEEP THERE AS WELL!" Vegeta is clearly enjoying Ash's rage and he answers her in a calm voice "And what makes you think that I want to….?" Vegeta stops and turns around to look at Ash with a sly look on his face
"Did you say, next to Red till Kakarot gets here?" Ash nods "You are leaving me to tell the person you are freaked out by, where to sleep?" Ash is confused but nods again slowly all the same. Ash just stares at him as he makes his way to Red
"Ok Ash, I'm moving." Ash blinks, not believing what she is seeing and swallows uncertainly. Red, feeling excited about the Prince's change of mind, grabs Vegeta round the middle, Ash shakes her head
"You'll risk sleeping next to her just because I asked you to?" Vegeta stares at the ceiling
"This way I can guarantee everyone will get what they want OR deserve" Ash looks at him uncertainly
"We-ll yeah, I mean, GOOD a-and don't forget to tell Red to switch with Kakarotto, when he gets here." Vegeta smiles as he watches Ash climb into bed "Don't worry… I will"
Later that night after everyone is asleep, Goku comes into the room where the three Saiyan are sleeping. He stretches and climbs into the bed closest to him, which happens to be where Red and Vegeta were sleeping. Red wakes up and sees Goku climbing in, she smiles at him and goes back to sleep but Vegeta was getting squashed so he did what came naturally and kicked Goku out of bed. Goku sat on floor rubbing his backside as Vegeta turns his back on him
"HEY!" he says to Vegeta's back "Where am I supposed to sleep?" for a while Vegeta did nothing, then he jabbed a thumb in the direction of Ash. Goku looks at Ash for a second
"Ok!" he says just as he hops in next to her.
Ash is woken by a sudden pain in her tail, she opens her eyes and bends over to see who is next to her, but she's still a bit groggy
"Red? Red could you move? You're laying on my tail." 'Red' doesn't answer so Ash pulls back the blankets covering 'her' head.
"Red? RED! RED YOU'RE…. say, Red? Did you know that your hairstyle is exactly like Kakarotto's? RED ARE YOU LISTENING? RED!!" Ash hears movement at the guest bed and then
" What is it Ash? Why are you shouting?" Ash looks at the real Red and starts to explain,
" I just wanted to tell you that you look just like, like…." as Red falls back to sleep Ash realises that Goku is next to her, she jumps up but is pulled back down by her tail which is still trapped beneath Goku. Ash pulls at her tail but it won't budge she tries to wake Goku but he doesn't budge either. Ash then does the only thing she has left to do "BEJITA! WAKE UP AND HELP ME GET LOOSE!" Vegeta doesn't even look around
"No, I'm not giving up my warmth just because you're afraid of sleeping next to Kakarot, look who I have to sleep with."
"But, but you don't even have to move, just, just blast him OR SOMETHING? BEJITA I-CAN'T-FEEL-MY-TAIL." Vegeta sighs,
"You humans don't have tails." Ash sees red but under the circumstances she can't exactly act on them. Ash crouches down beside Goku and attempts to pull her tail out from under him again
" DAMN BEJITA!!" Just as Ash is about to free her tail Goku grabs her around the waist, eyes closed and muttering something with a smile on his face, he was dreaming. Now Ash could hardly move, her tail was in agony and Goku wasn't going to wake up any time soon.
Whilst Ash struggles Vegeta steals a peek at her and sees her trying with all might to get free from Goku, Vegeta turns over and smiles to the wall opposite to him "Revenge is sweet" he whispers, just before he falls into a deep sleep.
