Hey guys. I love that you love the story. This one seems to be pretty popular, so here's an update just for you guys! Oh and Goku is fifteen. Oh and Dray, my grammar sucks on purpose because of the dialogue.
Chapter 3
I don't own DBZ
"Ah!" Vegeta cradled his thumb as it started to change from his normal skin color to red and slightly blue. "Ah." He shook his hand violently, thinking that it would help for some reason.
Bardock shook his head. "Boy, yer supposed to hit the nail, not your thumb nail."
Vegeta glared at his uncle evilly. "I know that, I just missed."
"Haven't you done this before?"
"I've fixed a school project or two, but I've never had to build a chicken coop start to finish." Vegeta was angry at his uncle for commenting on missing the nail. 'How can he expect me to build this stupid thing? Like I've ever done something like this before.'
"I can handle this; I want you to go help Goku with his chores. It usually seems to take him longer than what it should. I'd like to get home a little early today." Bardock smirked.
Vegeta was still shaking his hand as he left his uncle. 'Yeah, I know what you're planning on doing. Did you have to make it so obvious? Like I couldn't catch on.'Vegeta noticed how affectionate his uncle Bardockwas with his wife. Vegeta wasn't in such a hurry to get home, since he knew what he uncle was planning on doing.
Vegeta started walking away from his uncle towards Bulma's house when he heard a voice call to her. "Hello there."
Vegeta turned around and pointed to himself. "You talking to me?"
There was a woman with short blonde hair with a ditzy look on her face, but she still appeared sweet. "You want some lemonade dear?"
Vegeta placed his hand at side. "Sure, why not?" Vegeta walked to the back porch of the house and took the glass from the woman. She had a nice figure, but was old. "Who are you?"
"I'm Mrs. Briefs." She glanced at his blue and red thumb. "Oh you poor dear. I'll get you some ice." She was about to run into the house, but Vegeta stopped her.
"I assure you that I'm fine. I've suffered a lot more painful things than this. This is nothing to me."
"What other things have happened?"
Vegeta smirked at the sound of the voice behind him. "Well Bulma, I don't see why that's any of your business, but-"
"What, you break your leg on some skiing trip?" said a boy standing behind Bulma in a mocking voice. He had on blue jeans, beaten up tennis shoes, and a plaid shirt that was unbuttoned, so his chest was being revealed. "So, tell me tough guy."
Vegeta snarled. "Well, you're right about the skiing trip. I'm MVP on my high school foot ball team, injured myself on the basketball team, wrestling team, I've taken karate lessons and lots of other things, so I've had an injury or two."
"So yer a football player?" asked Bulma cocking an eyebrow at him.
Vegeta smirked. "That and all the others listed."
"Why don't you play football with Yamcha and the other boys?"
Yamcha stood up straight, trying to seem superior to Vegeta. "He seems too little to play with us strong boys. He was probably on the light weight team."
"I'll take you on any time, anywhere."
"How bout the field, and now?" asked Yamcha with confidence.
"I don't think so" said Bulma stepping in between the two young men. "Vegeta's got work to do." She smiled "Besides, I wouldn't underestimate him Yamcha. I think he can take care of himself." She started walking away, her hips swaying back and forth once again.
Yamcha snarled and followed Bulma.
Goku came out from the inside of the house and bumped into Mrs. Briefs. "Watch out there, Goku."
"Sorry ma'am." Goku grabbed Vegeta's arm and started walking away from the porch.
"Bye Vegeta!" said Bulma's mother."Where have you been?"
"I was doing Bulma's laundry."
Vegeta forced his hand back and growled. "Listen to yourself, do you want to be bossed around by her your whole life?"
Goku thought about it for a moment. "Well," he scratched his head, now going into deep concentration. "Well, I" he smiled "I don't see why not."
Vegeta slapped his forehead in frustration. "Listen kid, you've got to stop obeying her all the time and do what I say."
"But why? Does it really make a difference whether who's bossing me around? You both seem mean and pushy."
"That may be true, but I'm your flesh and blood." He slapped him on his back. "Understand?"
"I guess, but Bulma will be pretty mad at me."
"Then so be it." He started walking forward but then turned around. "So, what's next on the 'to do' list?"
"Cleaning Bulma's room."
Vegeta fell anime style to the ground, but then stood up in a rage. "Listen kid, you are not doing her chores! Now there's two of us, which means we can do YOUR work load twice as fast and then I can pound that no good Yamcha jerk into the ground!"
"What have you got against Yamcha? You just met him a little while ago. Does he owe you lunch money or somethin like that?"
Vegeta sighed. "Of course not, but if I've got to be on this stupid farm, then I'm going to be top dog. Do you understand?"
Goku scratched his head. "I guess so."
"You're fifteen, you shouldn't be this dumb."
"Hey, I reckon I ain't! I just can't understand yer selfish city ways." Goku crossed his arms. "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got sheep to attend to."
Vegeta's eyes grew huge. "Sheep? Those filthy animals?" He looked at his white shirt in horror. 'Maybe it won't be that bad. I was wrong about Bulma.'
Ten minutes later...
"How ya do'n Geta?" asked Goku innocently as he started shearing the sheep he had a hold on.
Vegeta struggled to hold on to it, but he got a whiff of it and covered his nose while it started to run away. "Come back here you stupid piece of cotton!" yelled Vegeta as he chased after the sheep.
Goku shook his head. "It's pretty easy. I don't get what's taking him so long." He smiled. "Isn't this a lot more fun than that skiing trip?"
Vegeta left the sheep alone and gave him an angry glare. "You are absolutely insane! Did you know that Kakarot?"
"Call me Goku Geta."
"Call me Vegeta, Kakarot!"
"Watch out."
"For what?"
"The goat!"
Vegeta looked behind him and quickly moved to his left, dodging the goat just in time.
"What is that doing over here?"
"Must of chewed through it's rope." Goku patted the sheep as he finished shearing it.
"What's the matter Geta? Get em!"
'Okay, it's just a stupid goat.' The goat looked angry and started running to Vegeta at full speed. Vegeta jumped out the way, but it charged at him again. "What's wrong with this stupid thing Kakarot?"
"I ain't gonna help ya unless ya call me Goku."
"Fine! Goku, give me a hand with this stupid goat!"
Goku smiled and placed two fingers in his mouth and whistled loud enough for the goat to stop and stand still.
Vegeta looked at Goku in shock. "How did you do that Kakarot?"
"I raised this goat. It knows me." He walked over to it and petted it. "Come on girl. Vegeta has ta milk ya."
Vegeta turned red and yelled "I absolutely will not milk it!"
Goku started laughing. "I was just joking."
Twenty minutes later...
"Get the egg Geta!" said an impatient Goku. "We should hurry."
Vegeta picked up the chicken and gently sat it away from its eggs. "Stay still ya stupid chicken." Vegeta picked up the eggs that had no pink spots on them and put them in the basket. "Done Kakarot." The chicken pecked at Vegeta's hand and then sat back on its remaining eggs. "Ouch, stupid chicken!" It pecked at him again, but Vegeta moved his hand on time. "Stupid little thing." He nicked it on his head, but then it got up and started attacking him and chasing him, along with four other chickens that came to the first chicken's rescue.
"What did you do?" asked Goku as he started laughing at Vegeta.
"Nothing! It attacked me. They started it!" He was going to kick it, but Goku stopped him.
"Don't hit them! They're just chickens!"
"Then what do I do?"
"Get out of here!"
Vegeta quickly got out of the old chicken coop with Goku behind him and they shut the door. Goku glared at him angrily. "Don't you ever hurt the chickens!"
"Am I supposed to be brought down by a little chicken?"
"No, but we're not supposed to hurt them. You must have done something to it."
Vegeta grunted. 'I hate this stupid farm.'
Many hours later...
"Ah!' Vegeta fell face first into the mud and a pig climbed on his back. He looked up with anger on his face.
"Hey there." said Bardock with a grin on his face. "Are you taking care of the pigs, or are they taking care of you?"
The pig climbed off of Vegeta and he slowly made his way out of the mud. "I don't find this amusing."
"Well, I'm done. Are you boys?"
Vegeta tried to get all the mud off of his face, but he couldn't because of all of the mud on his hands. "We're done, and if we're not, then that's too bad."
"Hey Geta!"
Vegeta turned around just in time to get sprayed with a giant and powerful hose by his little cousin. "Stop it Kakarot, this water is freezing."
"Sorry, but yer so dirty I thought you were one of the pigs!"
Vegeta growled. "I'd give anything to be back home right now."
"Well, you ain't getting in my truck all wet like that." Bardock turned around as he heard a truck approaching. "I think she'll solve my problems."
"She'll?" asked Vegeta annoyed.
Bulma hit the break and stepped out of her blue truck. "I'll take Vegeta home. I kind'a wanna talk to him."
Bardock cocked an eyebrow. "Well, I don't see the harm. Come on Kakarot."
"Yessir." said Goku as he followed his father, trying to avoid eye contact with Bulma.
Bulma smiled. "We need ta talk."
To be continued...
A/N: That chapter was long enough, at least I think. Anyway, tell me what you thought. Did you think it was funny when Vegeta was attacked by the animals? Are you wondering what will happen in the next chapter? Is Goku in trouble? Review!
Oh, and I'll take ideas, so give them to me!
