Chapter 71

Last time on DragonBall AF, the future legendary Super Saiyan, Daikon, was defeated by Vegeta. Life returned to normal as Goku returned home after his stay in the hospital. Once again there is a few moments of peace for our heroes as Goku and Vegeta start a new semester of school./

"Briefs. Briefs. Briefs." The instructor looked up from his registry. "Does anybody know where Briefs is?"

"He's somewhere in the hall I think," spoke up one of the students. Just then the door burst open, and lo and behold was Vegeta.

"Already tardy and the first day of the new semester, Briefs," said the instructor in his monotone voice.

"Can I help that you guys start too early, Kubiyaki?" snapped Vegeta. "Give me a break, it's the first day."

"And that's what you said every time last semester," droned the instructor. "Just go take your normal seat so we can finally began class." Vegeta walked up the stairs to his seat and passed by Goku who was sitting on the edge.

"Geez Vegeta, guess you stood up late reading comics again!" laughed Goku.

"Shut up!" he said in a loud whisper. "I have my reasons, I'll tell you later."

"Well Vegeta, since you're in the talkative mood, maybe you can assist us with our first question for today," announced Kubiyaki.

Vegeta gave Goku a sneer and plopped into his seat behind him. "So tell me, when did the second World War take place?"

"Ummmmm, can I pass to Oragata?" replied Vegeta.

"You can't keep constantly passing to the smartest person in the class," Kubiyaki said while his voice began to rise. "Now answer the question or we'll have to start giving you detentions already. If only you were a good kid like Goku."

"Grrrrrrrrr," Vegeta grumbled. Goku slowly sunk into his seat. "I don't know, 2018?"

"OK Vegeta, that makes perfect sense," sighed Kubiyaki. "The war took place over a thousand years from now! You're an idiot!"

A hush came over the entire classroom as their normally boring teacher yelled for the first time in what they could remember. Even Vegeta was left stunned. "I can't take another semester of dealing with you! Go home! You're suspended for the remainder of the week!"

"Feh, fine with me," said Vegeta. "I could learn more from my television screen than from listening to you."

"HAH! Oh that's where you're mistaken Vegeta!" he laughed. "Starting tomorrow, you'll be serving your suspension IN school!"

"That filthy bastard!" yelled Vegeta. "Who does he think he is? I could bring him to his knees in a second!" Vegeta pounded his fist on the table outside schoolas Goku laughed to himself.

"You still haven't told me yet why you were late," he said.

"Oh yea, that's right," answered Vegeta. "I was messing around with that fat kid outside of school. What his face, um, Puck."

"Hey what the hell!" exclaimed Goku. "I told you to lay off him, he's not a bad kid, he's pretty cool."

"Haha, yea and he's a dumbass too!" chuckled Vegeta. "See what I did was make a bunch of after images of myself and I started circling around him. He was so confused, I couldn't stop laughing at him after he ran into the school wailing like a baby!"

"Man, Vegeta, and I thought you would've gotten more sense knocked into you by Daikon…"

"Holy crap, it just hit me!" exclaimed Vegeta, who had apparently ignored what Goku just said. "We're gonna give Kubiyaki the scare of his life!"

"Didn't you hear what I just said!" shouted Goku. "Come on Vegeta, we don't need to be doing this to a teacher now!"

"You're just saying that because you've been getting good marks in his class lately you little suck-up," seethed Vegeta. "If it were any other teacher I know you'd be up for it."

Goku looked down, making obvious confirmation that Vegeta's assumption was true. "Fine, what do I have to do?"

"Well tonight, after my mom and dad are asleep, I'll sneak out and drop back over here by your house to get you," plotted Vegeta. "Then we'll both go over to Kubiyaki's house and-"

"Vegeta, your mom is on the phone," burst in Gonell. Gonell could almost see right through the boys. "What are you guys hiding? You not looking at something Master Roshi gave to you, are you?"

"N-no mom," replied Goku. "We were just talking about school and stuff, that's all!"

"Hm, well here Vegeta," she said as she handed him the phone. "I think she wants you home so get your stuff together."

"All right, thanks," he responded. "Tonight," as he covered up the receiver, "just be ready, I'll tell you what to do then."

Later that night as planned, Vegeta sneaked out of Capsule Corp. and took to the night sky. He flew all the way out to Mt. Pazou and landed right in front of the window peering into Goku's room.

"That moron, he's still sleeping," he whispered to himself. He began tapping on the window to try and wake him up. Goku jumped up with a start, but then calmed down when he saw Vegeta outside his window. He got out of bed and opened it up.

"You sleep in your clothes?" asked Vegeta.

"No," said Goku, "I accidentally fell asleep waiting for you to get here. You never said what time you were coming."

"Oh brother," retorted Vegeta. "Well get out here and let's go. We don't got all night."

"Yea we do," he said smugly. "It's only midnight, we got like 5 hours. This plan of yours can't possibly take that long."

"Would you just come on," groaned Vegeta, and with that they both rose into the air. "This is going to be my greatest prank ever, HAHA! Even better than when I released all those gerbils from Lab 1 a couple of months ago!"

"Honestly Vegeta," said Goku, "I thought you grew a bit more mature ever since our last battle with Daikon. You just seemed so… serious then. But now, it seems like you're just going back to your old self. I know the stuff that's been going on lately has changed me plenty."

"OK, wait a sec," said Vegeta as he halted. "Don't get me wrong Goku, I'm not an immature brat like I was before. I've died man, that changes any person. But ya know, I still like to have fun, mess with people once in a while. I just want to have a good time, forget about all the stuff that's happened recently. Kind of like clearing my head, you know what I mean?"

"Yea," nodded Goku. "Sorry I was thinking that about ya Vegeta. Maybe you're right, we need to have some fun in our lives, act like regular kids for a change instead of being saviors of the universe al the time."

"That's the spirit!" yelled Vegeta. "Let's get goin then man, this is gonna be hilarious!"

About twenty minutes later, Goku and Vegeta entered a residential area and the two boys swooped down and landed on the street. The only light came from a flickering street light and there wasn't a sound except for the wind occasionally blowing through.

"All right that's his house, 4th from the corner," said Vegeta. "People in this area usually leave their doors unlocked, so we'll get in through the back."

"Right!" replied Goku. The two young Saiyans tip-toed up to the back porch and slowly opened the door. Everything in the house was neat and orderly, nothing was out of place.

"Looks like we got a neat-freak on our hands," scoffed Vegeta. "All right, now lets go Super Saiyan." Goku and Vegeta instantly transformed, and walked up the staircase. The could hear snoring coming from behind a door at the end of the hall.

"This is it!" laughed Vegeta to himself. He slowly turned the knob and entered. There was his teacher fast asleep and snoring up a storm. "All right, you know what to do," whispered Vegeta. With that, Goku and Vegeta began shaking the bed attempting to wake up Kubiyaki. After a few seconds, he awoke, and as soon as he did Vegeta and Goku ducked down.

"What the heck?" he wondered aloud. Then a bright yellow glow came up above him. He looked and there was Goku and Vegeta, circling above him using their after image techniques so they looked like ghosts. "AHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed.

Then Vegeta started talking in a deep voice to scare Kubiyaki even more, "If you don't go easier on your students, I'll make sure that you become one of us!"

"Become one of you? Wha-what are you!"

"GHOSTS! So do what we say!"

"OK! OK!" shrieked the teacher as he hid under his covers. "Just don't kill me!" And with that, Goku and Vegeta flew out of the room and out of the house in less than a second. "Wow Vegeta, real smooth," said Goku sarcastically.

"What, I thought it went over great!" he laughed. "Oh the look on his face was priceless!"

"Heh, I can't believe he actually bought that," replied Goku shaking his head. "You had some really cheesy lines there. Sure you thought all this through?"

"Trust me, it doesn't take much to scare that moron," assured Vegeta. "I hear that he's actually somehow related to your friend Puck. Now we know why he's such a pussy! HAHA!"

Vegeta has proved that even though he's had great responsibilities at times, he can still have fun. What awaits Vegeta and Goku tomorrow will be surprising. And what's Goshin been up to lately? Find out this and more next time on DragonBall AF!
