My Daddy the Hero
by YYY

It's 7 o'clock in the morning, Trunk and Bluma are drinking their coffee when Bra comes down the stairs. "Good morning." Bra greets.

"Good morning." Bulma greets.

"What are you doing up so early?" Trunk asks Bra. Bra never gets up this early before.

"I want to go and do some shopping. Can you take me?" Bra says to Trunk.

"No problem." Trunk says.

"You two have a good time." Bulma says. The siblings head out the house and get onto Trunk's hovercraft.

Vegeta wakes up and sees his children leaving. "Where are they going?" Vegeta asks his wife.

"Bra asked Trunk to take her shopping." Bulma answers.

(Why didn't she just ask me to take her?) Vegeta thinks. He is always the one taking Bra when she wants to go to the mall.

"So where are we going today? Clothing store? Jewelry store? Shoes store?" Trunk asks Bra while he drives.

"I want to go to the fabric store. I want to make dad a jacket for Fathers' day. If I make the gift myself it will be more special." Bra says, "don't tell dad though, I want it to be a secret."

Bra spends hours in the store looking through the fabric, buttons, zippers and other materials. She wants nothing but the best for her dad's jacket. AfterBra gets everything she needs, she asks Trunk to take her to Gokuu's home.She wants to make the jacket at Gokuu's place so Vegeta will not see her making the jacket.

Bra works hard for hours on Vegeta's jacket. When the jacket is finally done, Bra is so tired she falls asleep next to the sawing machine.

"You must really love dad, do you?" Trunk asks the sleeping Bra. He picks her up and puts her to bed.

"I need to go back and work. Can you tell bra I will come pick her up tomorrow morning?" Trunk asks Pan.

"Sure." Pan answers.

Bra wakes up next morning and asks, "where is Trunk?"

"Trunk needs to work. He says he will come and picks you up." Pan says.

"Thanks." Bra smiles.

"That's a really nice jacket you made for your father." Pan says.

"It's still missing something... " Bra says as she looks at the jacket. She wants every detail on the jacket to be perfect. "I know! I want a pocket cap!"

Bra calls Trunk to see if Trunk can take her to the accessories store to get a pocket cap. One of Trunk's secretaries takes the call. "The president is in a meeting right now. You want me to go get him?" the secretary says.

"It's alright." Bra answers. Trunks already spent a lot of time on her and she doesn't want to waste any more of his time. She decides to get a cab and heads to the accessories store by herself.

Bra looks through all the pocket caps in the store and finally decides on a silver cap. She puts down her jacket and get her wallet to pays for the cap. When she is done paying, her jacket is gone. Someone stole her jacket while she is not looking.

Bra goes home depressed. "What's the matter?" Vegeta asks.

"I got you a Fathers' day present, but someone stole it." Bra cries.

"Someone stole from you? I'm so sorry. I should have gone with you to the store." Trunk says. He feels bad that Bra is crying.

"Don't cry. You have Saiyan blood in you. And Saiyans don't cry." Vegeta says proudly; he then mutters in a soft voice, "and I need no present. You're the greatest gift."

Bra smiles. She knows how hard it is for Vegeta to say something so nice, so kind and so sweet. She hugs Vegeta and says, "Thanks, daddy. I love you!"

Vegeta is happy to see his daughter smiles. "Let me go and get my jacket and wallet. I will take you out to dinner." He says to his daughter. Vegeta goes to his room, puts on his jacket and goes back out.

"Daddy! You're wearing the jacket I made for you! That's the jacket the thief stole from me this morning!" Bra shouts when she sees Vegeta's jacket.

"It is?" Vegeta asks.

"Where did you get the jacket?" Trunk asks.

"I see some thugs stealing an old woman's purse when I was walking on the street this morning. I got the purse back for the lady. I grabbed one of the thugs by his jacket and tried to teach him a lesson, but he shedded off his jacket and ran. I like the jacket so I kept it." Vegeta says.

"You're such an amazing father. You get the jacket back for our daughterwhen you don't even know itis hers." Bulma says. She wraps her arms around Vegeta and kisses him.

"Don't kiss me in front of the kids, woman!" Vegeta blushes. Bra and Trunk chuckle.

"Wait, let me put this on." Bra says as she puts the silver pocket cap on Vegeta's jacket pocket.

Vegeta looks at the cap and sees that it has 'world greatest dad' engraved on it.

"Thank you." Vegeta says to his daughter.

"Happy Fathers' day, daddy." Bra says.
