Vegeta's Day Off
One fine Spring day in West City...
Vegeta is sitting in the living room of CC and is all by his lonesome, like he likes it, right? Not quite.
Gohan is on his way over from his house to pick up Goten, him and Trunks had been playing as usual all day, and now it was getting close to supper-time. As he entered the main entrance to CC Gohan hollered out, "Goten, come on! It's time to go home!"
But nobody replied at all, the house was, very eerily silent. But that was soon broken.
"What do you want Gohan?" came an odd voice from the living room. Gohan decided to see who it was, it almost sounded like Krillin's tone, a bit deeper, but not harsh at all.
As he walked into the living room he spotted Vegeta sitting at the coffee table with his legs crossed underneath it, and a chess board out in from of himself apparently very interested in this game with himself. Gohan was now very curious.
"Vegeta, what are you doing. Sitting on the floor and playing chess by yourself, or something?" Gohan smirked as he walked across the broad room, but no snappy comment came from Vegeta.
Soon after a calm reply came, from Vegeta himself, "Yes, I like to sit and think sometimes after training. So I come here when everyone's gone and play chess with soothing music on. Is that a problem for you?" His voice was oddly calm and... higher than usual.
"Umm, thats not a problem for me... Mind if i join you? I haven't played chess with anyone but my grandfather in ages. And he's always saying it's no fun to be beaten 30 times in a row." Gohan was quite interested, genuinely interested, now in the Saiyan Prince's ability at chess.
"Sure, why not?" was Vegeta's response.
2 hours later
Chichi was shouting at the top of her lungs while walking towards CC, "Where's my baby Gohan? Where? WHERE DAMNIT!?" and right then she walked into the CC living room, and the sight stopped her dead in her tracks.
There was Vegeta, in a bath robe and fuzzy black slippers, sitting on the floor at the coffee table with Gohan sitting on the opposite side, playing a simply, yet amazingly complex, game of chess. He and Gohan were also talking about different things, like how it was that Piccolo gained strenght while meditating. Vegeta said something about how he was teaching himself new things in his mind and applying it to his body. Just as reading a textbook applies information into someone's brain.
It sounded like quite the nerdy conversation.
So Chichi, not yet being noticed by the chess players, slowly backed out of the room and closed the door slowly, letting them continue on with their intellectual chat and game. And that's how it continued for some more hours, without either Saiyan even thinking it was way past suppertime.

Weird huh? I had a random spurt to write this one night years ago and I just found it while browsing through my files, hope you enjoy, and REVIEW if you like it, maybe I'll dig up another old one if you do!
