Chapter 14

Me no own

Vegeta was tired. He had already taken a shower and dressed himself, but now he was sleepy, and couldn't take it anymore. He wasn't going on that farm. His aunt wasn't going to let him be kicked out of the house anyway. He would fill his empty stomach and then go back to sleep. He didn't care what Goku did. He wasn't going to be used as a pawn for his uncle's scheme. Vegeta came down to breakfast tired, but with a smirk on his face. Goku was tired, but looked happy. He could never be too tired to eat something. The whole family was sleepy, but they got over it. It was time to eat. "Bless the food, Kakarot" Bardock instructed.

Goku joined his hands together and closed his eyes. "Dear Lord, we thank You fer Yer grace, power, and mercy. Lord, we also ask that You give us strength to endure the day, Lord. And we also ask that You give us strength and wisdom on how to deal with those who come against us, and avenge us for the misdeeds that have come against us."

Goku wasn't done with the prayer, but Vegeta opened his eyes to stare at Kakarot. He looked pretty angry. He had a right to be. 'He wants revenge.' He went on and on with his prayer for a good while. Bardock had a look of bewilderment on his face, and Tannipu looked worried about her son.

"Lord, avenge us in our time of need. Lord, let justice be served. Let the enemy come to repent all in due time Lord. Lord, smite the demons that come against us and…" Bardock grunted to signal his son. "Oh yeah, and bless the food, in Jesus name I pray, Amen."

"I said bless the food, not war against the devil" Bardock said grabbing a biscuit. Everyone was hungry, and Goku's five minute prayer didn't help the situation.

"I'm not going to the Briefs' farm today" Vegeta said, grabbing a biscuit.

Bardock stayed calm, but reached for Vegeta's plate and pulled it away. "A man, who doesn't work, doesn't get ta eat." He took the biscuit from Vegeta's hand.

Vegeta turned to his aunt with unbelief. She only shrugged her shoulders. "Well, there's not much I can do. He's right. You don't work, you don't eat. That's the bible."

Vegeta grunted. "Fine then, I'll go. Just give me my plate." Bardock gave it back and smirked. 'Man…' he thought 'just had to do that.' When the three males finished their breakfast, they had to go to the farm. Kakarot and Vegeta were in the stables when they could finally be alone to talk about what they were going to do for revenge. "Kakarot" Vegeta said "we've got to get her back."

"Get 'er back?" Goku asked. "You mean Bulma?"

"Who else would I mean? We've got to get her and Yamcha back for what they've done to us. I know you want revenge. That little prayer said it all during breakfast. Don't worry. I'll think of something, but I'll need your full cooperation." Goku looked away, not sure. "Oh come on Kakarot, I know you want revenge! I know you're not a punk, at least not that big of one. We've got to get her."

"I do want revenge, but I prayed and-"

Vegeta rolled his eyes and huffed. "So what? You think God's going to come down to Earth in a raging fire and smite Bulma? This is teenage war, not Armageddon, Kakarot." Goku still didn't look too sure. "Listen Kakarot, if you want to clean your house, or just get your farming chores done, you don't pray to get it done, because no matter how long you get on your knees and beg, an angel's not going to take time out of their schedule to help your lazy butt get the job done. You've got to do it yourself, and it's the same way now."

"You really think so?" Goku asked.

"I know so. This is something we've got to do."

Goku smiled mischievously. "Then I'm in. Let's get her, and I mean let's get her real good. I say we get 'em, and we better get 'em good. I been real crossed with her evah since she done did that ta me and ya. I couldn't believe she'd do dhat ta me, specially since she been my friend fer a long time. Now I don't mean nuth'n no more." He sighed. "Let's get 'er!"

Vegeta looked befuddled for a moment and then finally admitted "Kakarot, I can't understand you. What did you just say to me?"

"Oh! Well, I jus said I…" Vegeta still looked like he didn't understand what Goku was saying, so he talked slow and pronounced his words "Specially since-"

"Especially Kakarot, especially."

"Sorry…" Goku just got frustrated. "Ferget it! I say we nail 'em."

"Now you're speaking my language. Now, we can beat them at their own game. All we've got to do is wait for the exact right moment, but we have to be patient, or we won't succeed. We have to wait Kakarot, and then we'll strike." Vegeta stroked his chin. "Just try to think of things that could be worse than stink bombs and stupid things like that, like skunks and…"

"Manure" Goku said almost diabolical. "Manure stinks."

Vegeta smiled, being very impressed with his cousin. "Very good Kakarot, I am very impressed with you dedication to the situation. This should turn out quite nicely." He began to laugh, and it wasn't long until Goku had started laughing along. "Yes, our revenge will be complete!" They laughed for a good while, and Bulma couldn't help but pick up their laughter. It wasn't long until she peeked her head inside.

"What are you two losers laugh'n bout? I don't see what's so funny. Mind splain'n?" The two boys immediately stopped laughing and stared about Bulma with revulsion. Neither one of them would speak to her. "Alright, I'm sorry. I didn't mean ta upset ya boys. I jus thought I'd show ya who was in charge." She smirked. "Nuth'n ta say Mistah City?" She asked Vegeta, almost in a seductive manner. He didn't say a thing to her, which was hard to do. She shrugged her shoulders. "Alright, Mistah City, I'll leave you be." She walked out of the barn. 'They must be real crossed, but they could a talked ta me! I don't like Geta not staring at me not saying nuth'n! Now I don't feel bad bout Mondy.'

Little did Vegeta and Goku know that Monday was going to be the worst day of all. The two of them believed that Bulma's plot of revenge was over, but there was one last thing she and Yamcha had up their sleeve.

That day was a hard day at the farm. Goku was already sick and they were both tired. Even Bardock was tired. As soon as they got home, they ate, took showers, and then went right to sleep. Usually after the third shower, someone would have to wait for the water to get warm again, but Goku was so tired, he took one cold. They just wanted to sleep.

Sunday was another eventful day. Usually the boys would have to wake up very early and go to the Briefs' farm before church service, but they didn't that day. Vegeta struggled to stay awake in church, and with constant nudging from his aunt and glares from his uncle, he was successful. He didn't want to listen to the sermon though. Ironically, the message was about forgiveness, something Vegeta didn't want to hear about. 'Why are there no sermons on vengeance?' he thought to himself. 'Did Bulma say something to the minister?'

After service, Bulma walked over to Vegeta in the parking lot with a grand smile. "Well howdy, Mistah City. You haven't said a word ta me, and I swear I'm a get'n mighty tired of it."

Vegeta finally decided to speak to her. "What would you have me say? The only appropriate thing I could actually do in this church setting is cast you back into Hell. What do you want me to say woman? Would you like me to tell you how I'm going to get you back? Is that what you want? You want threats, serious threats, don't you? Well, the truth is, I don't have any threats for you, only a promise, and I promise that I'll get you, and I'm going to get you good."

"Please! I'm a genius, and you're a nuth'n. You can't get me back. What I did was perfect."

"Oh please!"

"Well how do you do?" said the minister, who constantly always smiled. He came from behind Bulma and Vegeta and placed his arms around the two of them. "So, what did ya think of the sermon on fergiveness, Vegeta?"

Bulma smiled, Vegeta had a comeback. "I thought it was great, but not as good as your sermon on the evils of fornication."

"Well, thank ya kindly" said the minister. Bulma's smile turned into a scowl, but she recovered from it before anyone could state the obvious. The minister then decided to leave those two alone.

"I don't appreciate you telling him our business, woman."

"I didn't. Oh, and you shouldn't of told him bout me and Yamcha."

"I didn't." Neither of them believed the other. They just separated themselves with a scowl on their faces, not being able to stomach the other's presence. 'I hate that no good woman, she'll pay. Oh, she will pay.'

'That no good black dog! I swear I'll get 'em. Oh, he's in fer it tomorrah!'

Monday for Vegeta seemed to be a very strange day indeed. Something in the air just didn't seem right, especially when he was on the bus on his way to school. Something just felt wrong, and he knew that whatever it was, it wasn't going to be nice. 'Why do I get the feeling that the woman is going to do something?' When he entered the school, there were a few stares at Vegeta, and some people were laughing as soon as they laid eyes on him. 'What's going on?' he asked himself. 'Why are these idiots staring at me?'

"Vegeta" said Ashley coming from behind him. "You'll nevah believe what that woman did now." Vegeta turned around and saw the flyer in her hand.

"No!" He grabbed it and looked at it full with fury. On the flyer, there was the picture of Goku and Vegeta hanging upside down with 'loser' spray painted on their backs. Vegeta began to grumble with irritation as he held it and soon crumpled it up.

"They're all around the school, Vegeta."

"That woman…" he seethed. "That woman…" he repeated, even with more disgust. "Oh, she'll be sorry. Oh, she will pay!" Vegeta wanted to rip her apart, or at least get her and Yamcha now, but it was too soon. He was going to make her pay. "Homecoming."

"What about it?" Ashley asked.

"I want you to rig it, so Bulma and Yamcha win King and Queen. Can you do that?"

Ashley looked as if she herself would explode. "I guess, but I wanted ta win that! Wouldn't it be bettah if we won that and she lost?"

"No, make it so. She and Yamcha are going to win, and that's the night she's going to pay. Where is she now?"

"Avoiding you, and can you blame her?"

'I wonder about Kakarot…'

"Hey Goku" said Krillin, Goku's best friend, as Goku got off the school bus. "So, what's been up with you? Haven't talked to ya in a while. How's things with yer cousin?"

Goku was still upset about Bulma. "My cousin's fine. It's everyone else that's bother'n me. Miss Bulma did the meanest thing ta me…" Goku trailed off as he walked inside the school and saw hundreds of flyers everywhere with Vegeta and himself hanging upside down. "Dang the devil!" Goku stomped his foot into the floor and repeated it over and over again. "Dang the devil!" It was what he said when he got angry, so his father couldn't bust him for swearing. A lot of kids had some in their hands and they laughed and pointed at Goku.

"Oh Goku" Krillin said "this is horrible."

"Help me, Krillin!" Goku started taking as many flyers as possible down. He was even snatching them out of student's hands, which made many angry. He didn't care. He was just snatching them, not even looking at who he was snatching them from. "Sorry, I'm taking this!" he said to one kid and snatched it out of his hand.

Krillin closed his eyes. "Uh oh! Now you've done it!"

Goku looked up and realized who he had snatched it from. "Uh…hi ya Broly. How ya do'n? I been mighty fine." 'Pa's gonna beat me good if I get in another fight with the same guy.'

"What 'er you do'n loser?" He chuckled a little bit and pushed Goku back.

Goku hadn't realized how heated he was until Broly called him a loser, just like in the picture. He suddenly decided that he didn't want to be pushed around anymore. He had taken enough crap from Bulma and only ended up paying for it. He was sick of it and pushed Broly back. "Hey, don't talk ta me that way!"

Krillin opened his eyes. 'Can Goku take him? I ain't too sure bout that.'

Broly became instantly angry and pushed Goku back harder, and Goku did the same to him. Broly continued it on. "What's the matter Kakarot? It's nothing new. I always thought you were a loser."

Surprisingly, it was Goku who cracked and threw the first punch, but that didn't stop Broly. From then, all Hell broke loose and there was soon a crowd in the hallway watching the whole thing. Goku was getting cheered on by quite a few people, since he did have a lot of friends, but a lot of people were still laughing at the picture, which distracted Goku, but at the same time, enraged him. Broly was over all bigger and stronger than Goku. Things weren't looking up for him.

Back at Vegeta's school, he had never been so enraged in his whole entire life. By first period, all of the flyers had been confiscated, and by second, Vegeta had been questioned and asked who he thought had done that. Even though he could have gotten Bulma and Yamcha kicked out, he didn't want to end things so easy for them. He lied and said he had no idea. Third period, people were still snickering about it, so Vegeta wasn't sure if he could hold it in when he saw Bulma and Yamcha at lunch, and when lunch came, he couldn't. "Remembah sugah" said Ashley "you did say Homecome'n."

Vegeta saw Yamcha and Bulma giggling at their table. "I'm not going to stand for this!" Vegeta got up from his table with Ashley calling his name, but he wasn't going to stop. He was going to hurt someone, somehow, someway. Someone was going to be injured. When he reached his destination, Bulma was terrified, but Yamcha was foolish enough to stand to his feet.

"Well if it ain't the loser."

"Yamcha" Bulma warned. "It was just one more simple prank, Geta. We're done. Honest ta God we are."

"Yeah, so sit loser."

Vegeta lost it there. He punched Yamcha so hard that fell into the table and broke it. "Whose the loser now, you little barn punk, freak!"

"Vegeta don't!" Bulma yelled.

All of the kids began yelling and whistling. They didn't see that many fights and everyone suspected that Yamcha would be able to take Vegeta out. Yamcha was after all the football captain. Vegeta picked Yamcha up by the collar of his shirt and threw him into another table, but it didn't break this time. Yamcha wiped the blood away from his mouth and stood up. Yamcha yelled and rammed into Vegeta and pushed him into a pillar, which hurt Vegeta's back. He moaned for a hot second, but didn't let that stop him. Yamcha got another punch in, but Vegeta caught his fist when Yamcha attempted another one. Vegeta then took control and then pounded Yamcha's face in again, and again, and again. "Nobody calls me a loser, you freak!" Vegeta punched Yamcha one last good time, and knocked him off his feet. Yamcha wasn't about to get up so soon. He was too weak now. "Come on you little punk!" Teachers came and held Vegeta back from inflicting anymore damage on Yamcha. Vegeta wasn't done, but when three male teachers are holding you down, then it's time to call a quits. "This isn't over!"

Bulma leaned down to Yamcha's side and looked at his face. Everyone was surprised, even Ashley. No one knew Vegeta was that strong. Bulma knew that Yamcha's face was going to look a hot mess now. "I think we're in way over our heads now, Yamcha." His face was a bloody mess, and Vegeta left with a scratch. "Oh Yamcha."

Back at the Son's house, Bardock was reading a newspaper when the telephone started ringing. "Hello?"

"Who is it?" his wife asked with a tub of ice cream in one hand, and a spoon in the other. "Who's on the phone?"

"Yer kid'n me…I'll be right up there." He hung up the phone angry and bewildered. "I can't believe it. Yer nephew just got into a fight at school."

"Vegeta? Why would he do something like that? Who'd he fight?"

"Yamcha, Bulma's boyfriend, and I swear if yer nephew influences our son in…" The phone began to ring again and he answered it with irritation, but irritation turned into rage as said "Okay, I'll be right there."

"Who was that?"

"Well I'll be! Kakarot just got into anuther fight with dhat Broly boy! I can't believe it. He's get'n it tonight!" He pointed his finger at his wife. "This is all yer nephew's fault. He's done somethin. I don't know what, but he's done somethin, and he's influence'n our boy."

"Our nephew has something troubling him. There's no other explanation to why he'd be getting into a fight, as well as Kakarot. This didn't spontaneously happen for any reason. Think about it. Something strange has been going on, ever since Saturday when the two of them came home so late. There's an answer. Go figure it out!" She yelled angrily, but then smiled. "Oh, and bring me some cookie dough on your way home."

Bardock grunted. He never did arguing with his pregnant wife. 'Their both gonna get it.'

"Mister Son" said the principle shocked. He was a short middle aged man, but he was friendly, and knew Goku along with his whole family very well. He couldn't believe that Goku was having so much trouble. "Do you mind explaining what happened today between you and Broly?"

Goku had a busted lip and a bloody nose. He didn't think it was broken though, but it hurt like crazy. Goku shrugged his shoulders and said "We got into a fight. There's not much more to it than that, Sir."

"Broly, what do you have to say about that?" Broly had a gash above his right eye brow and random cuts in various places, including a giant bleeding bite mark from when Broly put him in a head lock. It was Goku's only way to get free. He'd do anything to get away from Broly to fight him some more. Broly ultimately had nothing to say, so he said nothing at all. "Goku, Broly, you two are gonna have to work out yer problems, after yer three day suspension."

"No, no, no, no, please merciful God in Heaven, don't make me stay home fer three days with my daddy!" The principle was shocked at his outburst. "Please don't! I'll just simply die! Do you know what my daddy did ta me? You can't make me! I'll do anything!"

"Are you two willing to work out your problems?" Goku said yes, but Broly said no. "If you two go see the councilor, then I suppose I won't suspend you for three days, but if not, then you two will be suspended, but no matter what, I am going to suspend you for the rest of the day." There was a knock at the door, and Goku turned pale and surprisingly so did Broly. They were both scared that their fathers were at the principle's door. "Come in."

Goku closed his eyes and waited for doom, but when he opened them up, Paragus, Broly's father came into the room and took a seat by his son. Broly actually looked a little intimidated. 'That's weird' thought Goku 'I'm scared of what my pa will do ta me, but Broly looks real scared, as if he's gonna die.'

"Come in Mr. Son."

Goku turned pale again and stopped breathing for a moment as his angry father sat down next to him. "What's this about? What did he do, and why?"

All eyes were on Goku. He had to explain what was going on. Everyone already knew that he threw the first punch. It was all a matter of time before he got in trouble. "Well…Broly hates me and was teasing me and I got mad so we started push'n each other and I uh…well I punched him." He put his head down in an attempt to avoid his father's beaming eyes. He eventually looked up and caught his father's eyes. 'Uh oh! I'm done for!'

Broly didn't say anything. Goku pretty much summed it up. "Well" Paragus asked "What was it that you were teasing him about?" he asked his son. Paragus was one of the more fortunate people in their small community. After all, he had a nice job at the factory. He got paid enough to manage all his bills and spend his money on only God knows what. He looked nice and well managed, but something was wrong. Goku could just tell.

The principle took out a flyer and handed it to Bardock. "These were all over school this morning. We don't know who did it but-"

"Kakarot" Bardock said with a quiet, but deadly rage "I thought you and yer cousin was abandoned, lost, and sprayed by a skunk."

"Well, pa, we were abandoned, lost, rained on, and technically sprayed." Goku smiled innocently.

"This looks like spray paint ta me, not skunk! Who did this? Did he do this?"

Goku shook his head. "I don't…"

"It was Bulma and that Yamcha fellah, wasn't it?"

Goku nodded slowly. "But how'd ya know?"

"Cuze I gotta go to yer cousin's school and meet yer good fer nothin cousin fer get'n in a fight with that Yamcha boy. Although I heard it was a massacre, rather than a fight."

"Yamcha beat up Vegeta?" Goku asked worriedly.

"Naw, Yamcha got a heaping load of crap beat'n out of him by Vegeta."

Goku smiled. "Really? My cousin did that ta Yamcha, the football captain?"

The principle cleared his throat. "Uh…speaking of fighting, I noticed your boy has a lot of good spirit and he loves to fight. Perhaps he could join the football team for what's left of the season, or perhaps do the wrestling team in the winter. We could use a boy like him, and Broly."

"Cool!" Goku yelled. "I love ta wrastle! I wrastle my brother all the time!"

"I wouldn't be caught dead on the same team as Kakarot" Broly finally said. "I'd rather die."

"Hush boy" Paragus said, and Broly obeyed.

"No thank you" Bardock said humbly to the principle. "Kakarot's a strong boy, but he's got a lot a work ta do on the farm. He don't quite evah got the time fer aftah school activities."

"I see."

"Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a nephew ta kill."

"I'm not a kid, I can go home on my own" Vegeta told his principle. "I am suspended right? Why do I have to wait for my uncle?"

"Because he's already on his way, Mr. Son."

"That's not my last name, that name belongs to my uncle's family, please reframe from even remembering that I am related to my uncle. Just call me Vegeta, please." Vegeta was so irritated that he was yelling at the principle. "Three days, I understand. Can I go home now? My uncle is taking forever."

"That's because your cousin got into the same mess as you today. I heard he got into a fight as well." He held up the flyer. "This is your cousin in the picture with you, isn't it Vegeta?"

Vegeta smirked. "That's Kakarot alright. So how'd he fare?"

"He didn't do the damage that you did, if that's what you mean" he said angrily.

'How disappointing. Kakarot, you probably fought that same kid didn't you? Couldn't pick a new victim I see.'

"So, who did put these flyers around the school? Was it Yamcha? Is he responsible? Is that why you fought him?"

Bardock opened the principle's door and came in with Kakarot by his side. "I see you've got flyer trouble, Vegeta." He looked at the principle spoke in a commanding tone. "Yamcha and Bulma were responsible fer the flyers, so why ain't they in here?"

'Man, his grammar is worse when he's angry.' "How do you know anything of it? Did Kakarot tell you?"

"I ain't stupid boy! You don't come home till four in da morn'n and you spect me not ta figure it out when you and Kakarot both get inta fights at school in the same day? Of course I'd know, boy. Don't think me a fool!"

"They'll be taken care of" said the principle.

"Come on Vegeta."

Vegeta rolled his eyes and got up. He didn't care about anyone's authority. He just wanted Homing to be a tomorrow instead of a few weeks away. 'I don't care what happens; I'm not giving up on my plot for revenge!'

"I'm sorry" said Mr. Briefs. "I had no idea what was going on Bardock." Bardock, Goku, Vegeta, Mr. Briefs, Mrs. Briefs, and Bulma were sitting in the Briefs' living room, discussing what had been going on between Vegeta and Bulma, and how Goku somehow got dragged into it. "I didn't know what she was doing." He looked at his daughter angrily. "I'll make it up to you, Bardock."

"Don't bother. I don't need charity and Vegeta's not innocent. He fought back. He's not a defenseless child."

"But still" Mr. Briefs nodded, indicating that he had a good idea on what to do. "Bardock, I want to employ Vegeta. He'll get paid for his work."

"He just splits Goku's chores" Bardock said. "That just wouldn't be fair."

"No, it'll be fair, cuze it won't cost me a dime. I'll take it out of what I give Bulma."

Bulma's mouth dropped. "You can't do that! Pa, some of that money you give me for my allowance goes into my college fund, you know that! Don't take that away from me!"

"Hush girl."

Bulma didn't want to cry in front of Vegeta's smirking face, so she ran upstairs to her room. Vegeta might have been smiling, but he wasn't happy. He didn't want to involve Bardock and Mr. Briefs or any other person with authority. 'It's a good thing that Kakarot and I decided to wait to seek our revenge. If we would have done it too soon, then we would have gotten in trouble. No one will expect it once we begin our plan.'

"I'm just glad we got this whole thing resolved" Bardock said to Mr. and Mrs. Briefs'. They shook hands, and it was over. Bulma's plans, all of her plotting was done. She had gotten Vegeta and Kakarot very well, but now it was all over. Now was the time for a new plotting. Soon, everything would be all over for Bulma, and her life would be utterly destroyed.

To be continued…

A/N: What will Vegeta and Goku do to Bulma and Yamcha? You'll just have to wait and see!
