Okay, so this is a short chapter that I thought would be kind of fun to write and post. There isn't a new guest or an audience. It's basically just a small Christmas party between Piccolo, Vegeta and me in the studio. It's got some Secret-Santa, Christmas music, mistletoe and more. I won't be able to post anything else in maybe a couple of weeks, so just in case, I hope everyone has Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!
Dragon Ball Z Fan Show: Christmas Special
*TeamNorthman, Piccolo and Vegeta are sitting in a close circle on the floor of the studio stage. Each of them have a small, wrapped gift in their hands. Piccolo and Vegeta have removed their tuxedo jackets, leaving them dressed in black dress pants and their white, long-sleeved undershirts. Piccolo has removed his tie, but Vegeta just loosened his.*
TeamNorthman: "Okay you two. I hope you followed the Secret-Santa rules. They weren't complicated, so I'm sure neither of you had too much trouble."
Vegeta: "Hmph. Speak for yourself. I don't shop, so I spent hours looking through stores with Bulma. And it was all for one stupid gift." *He looks down and scowls at the box in his hands.*
TeamNorthman: *Laughs.* "I can't picture you shopping." *Laughs again.* "It must have been hilarious." *Piccolo covers his mouth with his hand, trying to conceal his chuckle.*
Vegeta: *Glares at both of them.* "Don't you laugh at me!" *Turns to TeamNorthman.* "It's your fault I had to go and get the damned thing. I should give you a good kick in the gut."
TeamNorthman: *Rolls eyes.* "Oh come on Vegeta, loosen up a bit. This'll be fun!" *Turns to Piccolo and gestures towards his gift.* "Okay, how bout you start us off Piccolo."
Piccolo: *Huffs a sigh.* "Okay fine…um…what do I do first?"
TeamNorthman: *Face palm.* "Well, first tell us who your Secret-Santa is, and then give them the gift so they can open it."
Piccolo: "Oh, okay. Well my Secret-Santa was Vegeta."
Vegeta: "Lovely…"
Piccolo: *Holds out gift to Vegeta.* "So, uh, yeah…here you go."
Vegeta: *Takes the gift and unwraps it.* "Tube socks…wonderful." *Obviously not excited.*
TeamNorthman: *Claps hands together.* "Awesome! Round one Vegeta, you next!"
Vegeta: *Growls.* "Ugh, fine. My Secret-Santa person was TeamNorthman. Here's your stupid gift." *Glaring, he hands TeamNorthman the small box.*
TeamNorthman: *Takes the box, looking excited.* "Thanks Vegeta!" *She unwraps the box, and then opens it.* "Oh, um…" *Attempting to look happy.* "It's a wrist band…?" *Looks at Vegeta, confused.*
Vegeta: *Crosses his arms.* "Actually, it's one of Kakarot's wrist bands. I stole it from him while we were sparring."
TeamNorthman: *Holds the wrist band up with just two fingers.* "But…didn't you say that you spent hours looking in stores for a gift?" *Sniffs wrist band, and then suddenly drops it, disgusted by the smell.*
Vegeta: *Beginning to get impatient.* "Yes, but I didn't say that I actually bought something!"
TeamNorthman: "Uh…" *In a shaky voice.* "Wow…that's, um, great Vegeta. Thanks." *With a grossed-out look on her face, she puts the wrist band back into the box. Then she picks up her gift and holds it out to Piccolo.* "Here, this is yours."
Piccolo: *Takes the gift and opens it. Then he turns it around in his hands, looking confused.* "Ummm…what is it?"
TeamNorthman: *Smiles hugely.* "They're cookies! I baked them myself." *Looks proud.*
Piccolo: *Stares at TeamNorthman with an "Are you joking?" expression.* "Cookies? You baked me cookies?"
TeamNorthman: *Looks hurt.* "What? Don't you like it?"
Piccolo: *Sighs and face palms.* "No, no. I'm sure anyone else would like it."
TeamNorthman: *Pout face.* "Well then why don't you?"
Piccolo: *Stares at TeamNorthman, waiting for her to figure it out. About 30 seconds pass, and then Piccolo just gives up.* "I don't eat! Remember?"
TeamNorthman: *Gasps loudly and covers her mouth with her hands.* "Crap!! Damn, I completely forgot!! And here I thought that my gift was the best one…"
Vegeta: "Way to go genius."
TeamNorthman: *Scowls.* "Shove it, Vegeta. Your gift sucked, too."
Vegeta: *Glares.* "Well then it should suit its new owner perfectly."
Piccolo: *Sarcastic.* "I just love the Christmas spirit…"
TeamNorthman: "Argh, both of you shut up. Let's do something else." *All three of them stand up, and TeamNorthman pulls out her remote.* "How about some Christmas music to get things going!" *Presses a button. Carol of the Bells begins to play softly in the backround.*
Vegeta: "I really don't understand humans and their obsession with all of these odd traditions. What's the point of placing strings of light bulbs all over everything, or putting a tree in your home?"
TeamNorthman: *Sighs, frustrated.* "It's just…a thing Vegeta. Humans have been doing it for a really long time."
Vegeta: "Is it the same with dressing up in ridiculous clothing and begging strangers for candy?"
TeamNorthman: *Rolls eyes.* "You know, when you say it like that, anything sounds stupid."
Vegeta: *Smirking.* "I'm not saying it a certain a way, I'm just stating facts."
TeamNorthman: *Turns and glares at him.* "Okay fine then. Let me try." *Squints eyes and talks in a deep, mocking voice.* "Grr, I'm the Prince of five people, so I'm considered royalty. I'm really short, but my huge ego makes up for it. Bow down before me!" *Piccolo burst out laughing.*
Vegeta: *Growls and glares.* "You'll pay for that Woman!" *Begins stomping towards TeamNorthman.*
TeamNorthman: *Begins backing away with her hands up.* "Uh oh, I've upset the Prince!"
Vegeta: *Sneers and balls hands into fist.* "You bet you have! Now I'm going to beat you until you know your place!"
TeamNorthman: *Stops walking backwards.* "Oh come on, 'Geta. Lighten up." *Puts hands on hips.*
Vegeta: *Growls loudly.* "I told you not to call me that!!" *Pulls fist back.*
TeamNorthman: *Cringes away.* "Wait!!" *Vegeta is just about to hit TeamNorthman when Piccolo interrupts him.*
Piccolo: *Sounding amused.* "Hey Vegeta, check it out." *Points upward.*
Vegeta: *Rolls eyes, annoyed.* "Argh, what is it?!" *He has TeamNorthman by the collar of her shirt and his fist is raised. Vegeta looks up at what Piccolo is pointing at, and his face turns pale.*
Piccolo: *Burst out laughing.* "Oh wow, that's classic!"
TeamNorthman: *Looks at them, confused.* "What?" *She looks up at what Piccolo had pointed at, and her eyes get huge.*
Vegeta: "Mistletoe?! You put mistletoe up?! All it does is make things awkward!!"
TeamNorthman: *Covers mouth with hand and starts giggling.* "I don't know Vegeta, that's pretty funny!" *Starts laughing.*
Piccolo: "Yeah, you have to admit Vegeta. This is pretty priceless."
Vegeta: *Still has TeamNorthman by the collar, and his fist is still raised.* "Oh you can't be serious!" *Looks discusted.* "As if I would ever want to kiss-" *Suddenly cut off by TeamNorthman quickly kissing his cheek.*
TeamNorthman: *Begins laughing hysterically and throws her hands up.* "Merry Christmas Vegeta!!" *She pulls away from Vegeta's grasp and runs off.*
Vegeta: *His fist is still raised in the air, and his other hand is up from where he was holding TeamNorthman. His eyes are huge, his jaw is dropped, and he looks completely shocked.* "What-!" *Shakes head.* "What the hell?!" *Runs after TeamNorthman.* "I'm going to kill you Woman!!"
Piccolo: *On the stage floor, clutching his sides in laughter.* "Oh wow." *Shakes head, and stands up. He's still laughing really hard.* "Best. Christmas party. Ever."
