Chapter 16

Me no own!

"It's been weeks Kakarot, weeks since we were humiliated by that treacherous woman named Bulma. She thinks it is over. She slept safely in her room last night, dreaming of homecoming and the best night of her life. This won't be the best night of her life though. We shall strike her once, and we shall strike her again. Tonight we reclaim our honor! Tonight our revenge will be complete!"

"Yeah!" Goku yelled cheerfully. They were in Vegeta's room and Vegeta was busy giving a speech about how they had to crush Bulma and how their revenge would be complete. They had waited patiently and everyone believed that Bulma's and Vegeta's war had ended; everyone except for Goku and Vegeta. "We can do this, cousin Geta."

Vegeta was in such a good mood, he decided not to hit his cousin on the head for referring him to that ridiculous name. "This is the time Kakarot. Tonight we'll succeed or die trying!"

"Yeah!"

Downstairs Bardock was sitting at the dinning room table waiting for his breakfast to be completed. His wife was just in the process of setting a few more dishes on the table. She already had all the food prepared. Bardock was waiting for Vegeta and Goku to come down stairs and eat. He thought it was strange that they weren't downstairs at the table waiting with anticipation, like Goku always did. "Somethin's wrong" he told his wife. "Somethin is very wrong" he told her again. "Those boys are up ta somethin. They been spend'n a whole lot a time together and its make'n me mighty suspicious."

"Oh you're being silly" she told him while placing the last plate down. "I've been wanting Kakarot to have someone to look towards since his brother is gone. I'm not saying that I want Raditz to be replaced, but Kakarot needs someone, so don't be upset if those two boys are getting along. Their cousins! They're supposed to be getting along, Bardock. Would you rather have the boys kill each other?"

"No, but I'm jus say'n that it's funny. Vegeta's been act'n funny. For example, he went hunt'n with me and Mr. Briefs several times, even though he's so awful at it. I mean the boy kep on shoot'n skunks and little critters like that."

"Look, Kakarot and Vegeta have been perfectly well behaved for the past month."

"Yeah, but why? Vegeta's been acting very much out of character. Think about all of that school spirit he been show'n by go'n to those football games."

Vegeta and Goku happened to walk into the dinning room with that last comment. "I like football. What can I say?" He and Goku sat down at the table. "Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah there is" Bardock told him. "You been spend'n a lot of time with Kakarot. You hang out on the farm, go off in the woods, go off to those practices and those games together. It's suspicious to me."

Vegeta shrugged his shoulders. "What do you want me to say? I've been doing nothing wrong and you think there's something wrong with that? Honestly, I think you're insane. I do all of my chores, and I'm even ranking in some extra money so that baby of yours won't be such a burden. What's wrong with that?"

"Yer up ta somethin!"

"No I'm not!"

Bardock knew he couldn't get the answers out of Vegeta so he looked at his young son and he immediately began to sweat. He tried to look away, but he was becoming nervous with his father glaring at him. "Kakarot-"

"Bardock!" Tannipu yelled. "Get off of it! These boys have been nothing but perfect angels for the past few weeks. They've been doing their work and have been doing nothing wrong in school either. Their not planning anything! Do you really have to start this early with an argument? Come on!" Her temper immediately left and she calmed down. "Now I'll say grace." Bardock grumbled, but what man was crazy enough to argue with a pregnant woman? "Father God we ask that you bless this food and touch our hearts and minds and give us the strength to endure the day. Amen." Everyone just started grabbing food and eating whatever they could. They were all hungry. Vegeta and Goku and been working up a big appetite with all of their extra activities, getting ready for their revenge with Bulma. "So" Tannipu began to say "how was the game last night?"

Vegeta had to try to hide his smirk. "They lost horribly. Our team only got two points while the other scored forty. It was very bad."

"You don't sound too broken up about it" Bardock told Vegeta.

"Well, it was just a game. I wasn't rooting for our team. I just wanted to see a good game. I saw slaughter instead of a good game, but it doesn't matter."

"Well I heard they played so bad, that Yamcha boy might not get a football scholarship."

Goku instantly began to feel guilty and he could feel his stomach churning. Vegeta noticed the look on his cousin's face and was worried. 'If he screws up anything, I'll kill him.' After breakfast, the two of them met back in Vegeta's room to talk.

"He knows" Goku told Vegeta. "My daddy knows and he's gonna kill us!"

"He does not."

"He does too, and he's gonna kill us!" Goku slapped his forehead with frustration. "I mean, should we even go through with our plan? It's kind of mean."

"Kind of mean?" he asked in fury. "Don't you remember what she did to us? She messed with something that you don't mess with: my reputation!"

"Yeah, but it ain't right. Yamcha could have lost his scholarships cuze of us!"

"Hey, all we did was go to their games and practices and write down all of their plays and sell it to the other team's captain." Vegeta smirked. "There's nothing wrong with what we did."

"Yes there is! We could have ruined his life! I feel bad, cousin Geta!"

Vegeta smacked his cousin upside his head. "Shut up with that stupid name or next time, I rip out your tongue. Now come on Kakarot. It's not that bad. They got us, we get them back, and we're done."

"But-"

"It will end once we complete the rest of our plan.Phase one was brilliant, butphase two shall go down in the history of pranks. Don't punk out on me now, Kakarot."

'My cousin ain't got no conscious whatsoever!' "Alright, I'm in."

"Good, and just remember, if you mess this up, I will kill you."

"I understand."

Later on in the afternoon at the Briefs' farm, Bulma was comforting the brokenhearted Yamcha. They were in his truck, and Bulma was just patting Yamcha on the back. She didn't honestly know what to do. "It ain't fair!"

"Oh Yamcha, it'll be alright. Jus calm down."

"Jus calm down? My life is over, Bulma! Those scouts ain't even gonna look at me now. I did too horrible!" Yamcha shook his head. "It doesn't make any sense. I mean, it was like they knew exactly what we were gonna do before we did it. It's as if they read our minds, Bulma. They slaughtered us, and now I ain't gonna get my football scholarship."

"Don't worry about that, Yamcha. You probably still will. You had a great season. Besides, there's always wrestling and basketball if football don't work out."

"No babe, football was my life. If that's gone, then I ain't got nuthin."

"Oh baby, I wish I could help ya." She kissed Yamcha on the cheek. "I know somethin that could make ya feel better."

By the smile on her face, Yamcha knew what she was talking about, and he too began to smile as he began to feel much better. "Alright babe, you win." He started up the car. "It's tradition anyway."

"Well, well, well" Ashley said coming into the school gymnasium and seeing all of the wonderful decorations for the dance being put up. "This looks really nice, Vegeta." Vegeta was putting up a giant white screen. "But you really do get into the spirit of getting back at your enemies, don't you?" He finished what he was doing and turned to face her. "And what is that for?" she asked annoyed.

"It's to watch some highlights of the game." Vegeta had to stop himself from laughing.

"You fixed the game, didn't you?" She asked it quietly since there were a lot of people around, but he could tell she was fuming. "That game wasn't just about Yamcha. It was about the school, Vegeta. It's about school spirit and working together. We've all joined together with support only to see it all ruined by you."

"You don't realize what they did to me."

"No I don't, but now everyone is in your way now, ain't they? You won't stop till you get Bulma so bad she'll retreat."

"I've been working on this plan of action for about a month now. I'm not backing down to spare the school's feelings. I don't care about this school; I don't care about this place, or the people. I just want my stupid revenge, and anyone who gets in the way, will not be spared."

Ashley hit Vegeta in the chest. "You stupid jerk!" She caught the attention of everyone around, especially when she ran out of the room. Vegeta didn't honestly care that he hurt her feelings. It was an expected reaction, since she was a cheerleader. It was her job to have school spirit. Vegeta unfortunately didn't have a date, but two tickets.

'Women can be such enigmas. She can't understand my wrath, then I don't need her.' Vegeta finished up setting up the equipment and left the school. His uncle had let him borrow the truck so he could go to the school, but his uncle didn't say he could keep his truck out too long, so he brought it home immediately after he left the school.

When Vegeta pulled up, Goku ran to him from the porch. He had been waiting for Vegeta there for almost an hour. "So cousin Geta, is everything going smoothly?"

"Of course it is. As long as that information you gave me is correct."

"Well, of course it is. It's tradition. Bulma and Yamcha are the only ones who take that path and Yamcha and Bulma always go there when they make out, and they do it before a school dance. Krillin checked up on it fer me. There ain't nuthin wrong with what you know."

"Then soon,phase two shall be complete."

"Yamcha" Bulma asked while they were riding up to their spot in the forest "does somethin really stink?"

Yamcha began coughing. "Yeah, somethin smells really bad. I think it's a skunk. Maybe we should turn back. I can't do anything here."

Bulma covered her nose. "I think it smells like manure." Bulma looked through her window, but couldn't see anything that could be setting off the foul smell. "I don't understand what could be causing the smell." Bulma's eyes were watering, the smell was so bad. "Yamchaaaaaaa!" Bulma screamed as she felt the car jerk violently. The car began to dive head first as the ground under them began to crumble. "Yamcha!" The crash would have injured Bulma and Yamcha greatly, but they had a partially soft landing and they began to sink. "What happened?"

"We just fell into some kind of pit, Bulma." They couldn't see anything looking forward, because there was some kind of brown substance on the window shield. They couldn't see in front of them or to the side.

"Yamcha…" Bulma was so frustrated. "What are we gonna do?"

"Calm down Bulma. Just keep a clear head."

"But we just landed in a pit full of manure and your car is diagonal and we can't get out unless we touch it."

"We…we just gotta climb, Bulma. The car isn't completely in the pit. It's only mostly. We just gotta climb through the windows and climb on the car. Just climb out, Bulma."

Bulma shook her head. "I can't. I can't do it."

"You have to."

Bulma could feel tears forming in her eyes. She had never been so angry and so frustrated in all her life. 'I'm going to kill him.' "Okay, Yamcha." Bulma started to roll down her window, and at first nothing happened, but the more she rolled it down so she could fit through, some manure began to spill in the car and on top of her. "Ahhhhh! Yamcha!"

"You've got to do it, babe." That had happened to Yamcha, but he needed to stay calm. "Come on Bulma. It's not all manure. Try to think of the other stuff it is."

"What? Do you mean dirt and water? I'm totally cool with that!" she yelled at Yamcha. She couldn't wait to wrap her arms around Vegeta's neck. "I can't." She rolled up her window. "Just give me a while." Bulma needed to prepare her mind. Her mind was the strongest part about her. 'It's all mind over matter. Just pretend I'm on a game of Fear Factor. That'll make things better.' She had to prepare herself for at least a half hour. Yamcha decided to stay with her until she thought she was mentally strong enough to make it. "I'm ready." Bulma started to climb out of the window, but very slowly. She turned her body around and tried to grab a hold to the top of the car from the outside. 'This is a truck. I can do this.'

Even though Yamcha was physically better off than Bulma he was bigger than her and had a hard time climbing out of the car. 'I've got to get on top and help Bulma.' About half way through the window however, Yamcha lost his grip fell on his back, into the pit.

"Yamcha!" Bulma tried to climb on top of the car, but her hands were already slippery and she soon too lost her grip and landed on her back into the pit. "Ahhhh!" Bulma's hair was now totally messed up and she had just gotten it done in a French Roll earlier in the day. She started to sink in, but before she had to hold her breath, she found her footing and stood up. "Yamcha, I felt something."

"I did too." Yamcha walked over to Bulma, but could continuously feel the touch of something else in the pit. "I wonder." Yamcha grabbed one and held it up in the air in front of Bulma, and she began to scream. "It's only a skunk! Calm down, Bulma. It's dead. He ain't gonna stink ya!"

"How can he be so sick?" Bulma yelled. "Vegeta, when I see you, I'm going to rip your head off!" Bulma was so hot with rage. She hadn't even noticed that she was crying. "I'm going to kill you!"

Yamcha looked above him and saw a tree that was hovering overhead. "Bulma" Yamcha pointed to it. "It's a camera. That little imp is video taping this!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"So" Ashley asked Vegeta at the school dance that she still decided to go to "this is who you decided to bring instead of me?"

Goku was getting some punch, but Vegeta was still embarrassed to bring him. "His mother and father had a so called 'brilliant' idea and I had to take him. I was going to ditch him or beat the excitement out of him, litterally, but I thought he should be able to watch the action, since he worked so hard for it."

"Excuse me" said someone standing up on a stage with a microphone.

'Here it comes.'

"We have tallied up the total amounts of votes, and the Homecoming Queen and King is Bulma and Yamcha, our beloved football captain!" Everyone started looking around for Bulma and Yamcha, but they weren't even at the dance. "Does anyone know where they are?"

Vegeta took a small remote out from his suit inside pocket and aimed it at the projector without really being noticed at all. 'Sorry Bulma, looks like I win.' With one click of a button, the projector stopped showing pathetic clips of the football game and switched to where Bulma and Yamcha were. Everyone looked confused at first, but as soon as Bulma fell down back into the pit, everyone started laughing.

"Uh…" the announcer didn't know what to do "give it up for our homecoming Queen and King."

Goku walked back over to his older cousin. "This is so great, Vegeta. We did it. We got er back."

"I thought I told you not to associate yourself with me in parties like this."

"Sorry, but it's nice that we got er back, Vegeta."

"Now there's only onephase left."

Bulma had managed to finally climb on the back of Yamcha's truck and Yamcha had done that as well. They were almost out now. "When I get my hands on Vegeta, I'm going to make him wish that he had never been born."
