Chapter 2: Sickness

Android 18 walked up the stone-walkway that led to the Capsule Corporation entrance. She did not want to be here. But, Bulma had saved her life and had bought that useless diamond mine off of her hands, so 18 decided that she would have to reciprocate. A branching path split from the main walkway; she followed it down to the entrance of a comparatively little house next to the yellow dome.

18 walked through the door and marched up the stairs. As she made her way down the end of the hallway, she heard the sound of a raspy cough. 18 took a deep breath. "Keep it together. It's just until Bulma is done with her meeting..."

She opened the door and there he was. Several descriptive terms popped into Android 18's head for this man, but let's be polite and say "this guy". Vegeta laid there in his bed looking utterly miserable. His face was flushed, cheeks burning red. His eyes were half-lidded and glazed. There was a rasp in his voice that was only broken by painful coughs. The Saiyan Prince sat up in shock when he noticed his new visitor. "Who're you?!"

18 rolled her eyes. "Android 18?"

Vegeta was out of it. "Ah duhn know you! Geht out!"

18 could see steam coming off of Vegeta's forehead, his nose stuffed. Bulma explained it to her over the phone, Saiyans were a hardy race that could develop immunities to anything with ease...they also experienced sickness a lot worse than others. Even the plain old flu was throwing torturing Vegeta. 18 shook her head. "It's me. You know..."

18 lifted her leg. She glided it through the air into Vegeta's left arm, making fwooshing noises and a boom when she made contact. Vegeta's eyes widened. "YOU!"

He tried to lunge, but merely slumped. 18 cocked her head. "Run outta pep there, slugger?"

Vegeta fell back onto his pillow with a grumble. 18 sat on the bed-spread next to him, hastily gathering his bedside dressings. Moments later, Vegeta had a cool rag on his forehead, a cup of cool water at his bedside, and a cup of warm chicken broth in his hands. Vegeta sipped at his broth, looking miserable. He glared up at 18. "M'over..."

18 flinched. "Hell no. If you 'mother' me, I'm out."

Vegeta sneered. "Yuh naht deg'n'fahd annuf tah be m'movurh..."

Vegeta motioned to the other side of the bed with his thumb. 18 got the hint. She sat down and Vegeta stretched his legs. After a brief silence, 18 pulled out her phone and started watching a video on it. Vegeta leaned over. "Wazzat?"

18 sighed. "It's a video about MTG. New expansion. Wanna see what the meta is now..."

Vegeta cocked his head. "MTG?"

18 rolled her eyes. "It's a card game. You wouldn't like it."

Vegeta leaned on her, staring at the screen. "I like card games..."

18 flinched. "O-Oh..."

And then things went silent as they both watched the video together.
