Chapter Six: Thanksgiving

It was Wednesday, the first day of the Thanksgiving holiday leave. Bulma was busy at the office all night, trying to prepare things for her father. Once again, that morning, both her mother and father decided to take yet another business trip to Taiwan.

Bulma did not mind, she was planning on having the gang stay the night and celebrate the special turkey dinner the following night.

She sat at the table in her dinning room; she and Vegeta were to go to the market to pick everything up before their friends decided to show up at the Capsule Resident.

"Woman?"

"Yeah?" Bulma smiled secretly, Vegeta had finally came over. She had barely saw him that past week. He had gotten a new job some record store and he liked to work a lot. Bulma had no idea why, but all she knew was that he was probably bringing in some good money.

"Are you almost ready?" Vegeta was becoming impatiant. "All we really need are the essentials: a turkey…"

"You are so dumb, you cannot JUST have a turkey, there are pies, and side dishes and salads, and sparkling wines and champagnes."

"Whatever…" Vegeta smirked as he spotted her in the dinning room. "You are way too into this holiday crap; to my family it is just another day."

"But then again, my family is too, they always make a point to stay away during the holidays," Bulma smiled faintly. "I am starting to believe they share little interest in common culture and religion, simply the selflessness of their life's indulgence."

"Something I am sure you know something about?"

"And you are as well, you are not that naïve and poor, you are still from a very wealthy background."

"Economically, yes…" Vegeta sat in a chair beside Bulma. "Family wise? No…"

"Besides, if my family were here to celebrate anything, it would be even harder for them to carry out their affairs and still have time to avoid confrontation in front of me."

"As most parental units would say, it is to save you, not hurt you," Bulma smirked at Vegeta's comments. They had always found an easy way to talk between one another. She was always comfortable, and he was well educated. Unlike past boyfriends, he understood her; emotionally, mentally, and verbally.

"Done," Bulma smiled. "Are you driving?"

"Of course, I do not trust your lack of driving skills, you almost kill yourself at least four times a day with your reckless driving."

"I personally feel that I am a great driver, you are jealous."

"Oh yes, I am truly jealous as are others who are happy that I asset in saving their lives when you endanger theirs."

"Whatever," Bulma smiled. Folding up her list, Vegeta kindly took her hand in his and they walked to the car.


It had taken them only forty minutes to arrive at the store. Bulma and Vegeta quickly entered the store, hoping to be in and out in a matter of minutes was wishful thinking.

Unfortunately for them, wishing thinking is so much different in reality; the store was packed. Down every lane was a good thirty or more shoppers cutting and pushing aside the others to get the last bit of food.

"This is ridiculous," Vegeta whispered. He stood there in awe; even the packing lot was not as hectic as the store itself.

"Where to begin?" Bulma said, slightly tapping her chin.

"How about in the food aisle, I think that might help a lot," Vegeta said, dripping with a sarcastic tone.

"You are such a charmer, I mean…it is so nice to find a man with your brains, if you weren't so smart, I think the world would fall to its demises. Thank you oh great one, I am indebted with your brains," Bulma replied.

Vegeta rolled his eyes in attempt to forget her comment. Bulma smirked in triumph as they walked to the aisles with a shopping cart.

"We need a turkey, stuffing, corn, green beans, one dozen of eggs, mustard…" Bulma paused as Vegeta and Bulma wondered down the aisles as they picked up the necessary foods and supplies for their special Thanksgiving dinner.

"Umm, I think we are done," Vegeta said. Bulma looked at the shopping cart and then at her list.

"I think you are right," Bulma smiled. "I guess we can go now. I'd like to start preparing for tomorrow."

"Alright," Vegeta said. They walked to the check out lines and began to be ringed up.

Bulma and Vegeta walked out to their car with the bagger following quickly behind them, "I think that gang is going to be at the house in two hours. I think that while they hang out, ChiChi, 18, and I will cook a little."

"What are we having for dinner tonight?"

"I think we are going to order Chinese take-out?" Bulma said, "What do you think?"

"Sound good," Bulma and Vegeta waited and watched the young bagger place their groceries into the trunk of the car.

"Thank you so much," Bulma smiled and handed him a ten-dollar bill. The bagger nodded and left them.

"I never understood why people pay them, don't they get a pay check?"

"Well yeah, but it is always polite to do so," Bulma and Vegeta sat inside the car. Vegeta started up his car, revving it up; he pulled out of the parking space and left the packing lot quickly.

The pulled up into Bulma's driveway in a matter of minutes to leaving the store. "Wall that was eventful."

"Wasn't it though? A very exciting road trip," Bulma smiled. Vegeta came to a complete stop and looked at Bulma. "What? Do I have something in my teeth?"

"No," Vegeta touched her chin softly. Bulma smiled and closed her eyes as Vegeta leaned in for a kiss.

"Hmm…more please," Bulma smiled and was answered with her plea. Vegeta placed another passion filled kiss on her wanting lips.


An hour had gone by quickly, Bulma and Vegeta had long been done putting away the food supplies. It was only then did the gang start so up. ChiChi and Goku walked in with the Chinese take-out while ChiChi and Krillen walked in with all the bags.

"It is about time you four decided to come here," Bulma placed her hands on her shifted hips. "Honestly, I am going to have to re-think my friends here; Vegeta was here before any of you…"

Chichi rolled her eyes, "You are such a dork B." ChiChi smiled at Bulma and walked into the kitchen.

"Did you have any trouble getting the food?" 18 asked.

"No none, I had a lot of help," Bulma smiled.

"Well B, me, you and 18 should get started on cutting and stuff, while the guys play their video games."

"Sounds good," Bulma said. Bulma walked into he kitchen, looking over her shoulder for a quick glance at Vegeta before walking out.

"Wow B…" ChiChi said in awe. "You really went crazy this year huh?"

"Not really," Bulma said.

"I am just glad you did this for us, you know we are going to help pay for this," 18 stated.

"No you are not, besides, my father is going to pay for it, and plus…I he gave me the money to pay for this dinner for us," Bulma smiled.

"I cannot believe that that store let you buy alcohol. Did you have to say anything?" ChiChi asked.

"Not really, they knew it was me and they just gave it to me," Bulma smiled.


It was late in the night, Bulma looked around her living room at all her sleeping friends. The night had been extremely productive. ChiChi, 18 and Bulma had basically completed all food so that nothing would slow down the turkey. Of course, the guys did what they do best, sit, eat, and play video games.

Although, Bulma had to admit that it did not quite matter, the guys probably would have ruined it all. Bulma smiled with a heavy sigh and started to walk upstairs. She had hoped that Vegeta would pop out of some corner. They had barely seen one another that whole evening.

Bulma arrived in her bedroom, sad to have not seen Vegeta and dreadfully tired. She quickly dressed into a tank top and small women's pink boxers and went to her bathroom. When she was done, she slowly walked back into her bedroom.

"What the hell took you so long?" A strong voice arose. Bulma smiled as his arms wrapped themselves around her slender, barely covered waist.

"I don't know, what took you so long?" Bulma turned around, "I thought I would never have time with you to myself."

"Oh I am shocked. I know how traumatized you would be if restricted you from my presence."

"Ha. Ha. Funny guy."

"Shut up," Vegeta smirked as her smile turned into a frown. He graced her lips softly with his own before kissing her passionately. Bulma was shocked while she still allowed him to kiss her, feeling his roaming hands made Bulma smiled more with a slight moan.


Bulma woke to the smell of food cooking downstairs and the constant bickering of her friends. Bulma smiled. She stretched quickly and made her way to her bathroom to get ready for the day.

Bulma was done and ready in a matter of a few minutes and she wondered downstairs. She was greeted with screaming and arguing between the three boys fighting over who really won and ChiChi panicking about the turkey dinner.

"B? Oh my gosh, I thought you would never wake up," ChiChi yelled. "We have a big dinner and we need to get everything ready."

"Why Chi?" 18 asked. "Dinner isn't until like, what? Freaking five."

"Not at all, when you are on ChiChi's time, dinner is when she says it is," Bulma smiled.

"I resent that miss thing, besides, we don't have to stay here," ChiChi said smugly. "I could always go home and eat with my unloving family."

"Oh Chi, please save the dramatics, besides…dinner is always great when you are with us," Bulma stated.

"Whatever," ChiChi rolled her eyes.

"Now Chi, calm down…what exactly is the problem?" Bulma asked.

"She thinks that the turkey won't be ready soon…even though she has been cooking it since freaking six," 18 chimed in.

"Well, unlike you, I like to have it good, not too cold and not too crusty," ChiChi stated.

"Chi, it is okay, and 18, stop pissing her off," Bulma smiled. "We want to have a happy and joyous dinner."

"Okay," ChiChi said.

"And Chi, anything you make we be fine, I promise," Bulma said with a smile.


By the time dinner was done, the gang had all calmed themselves and were now involved with the conversations between one another and were constantly reminded of their hungry by their growling stomachs. It was around four o'clock and Bulma and ChiChi set up the dinner table. They made it look like royalty was coming. Everyone had a variety of plates and bowls along with assorted silver ware.

"Okay, it is dinner time," ChiChi called. Everyone immediately ran for the dinner table where they were greeted with an amazing feast.

"Wow B, Chi, this looks great," Krillen said.

"Most definitely," Goku chimed in with a grin on his face.

"So, who is saying grace?" ChiChi asked.

"How about you Chi, you are the one who did most of this," Bulma suggested while 18 nodded in agreement.

"You sure?" ChiChi looked at everyone, "Okay…We are gathered here this evening for a joyous occasion, it is Thanksgiving. We would like to give thanks for this blessed food you have so graciously given us and we give thanks to everyone and keep our family and friends in our prayers and thoughts. Thank you and amen."

"Amen," the gang replied.

"Let's eat!" Goku laughed out.
