The luxuries of Internet shopping

Over view: Vegeta's shopping trip from hell. Enjoy! Though not sure if I like this little one shot much but please review anyway; I will happily except good or bad reviews and will thankful that you took the time to comment. Its OOC but should still be a little funny.

-Two hours earlier-

Bulma grinned triumphantly, "… and Vegeta, make sure you get everything on the list."

"Fine woman… Argh!" This; he thought to himself, is going to be a fun, fun day and not the good sort either and what do you know?

He was right.

-Now-

He had to agree to this escapade didn't he? It would have been easier to order it all off the Internet wouldn't it? But would she have it? No she blasted wouldn't!

"It will be a good experience for you," or so she said.

The woman had lied; this was a nightmare of epic proportions and somehow he knew that this was his punishment for breaking another set of china and punching yet another hole in the wall.

The woman was clearly over reacting again; just like the time Trunks fell off the swing. How was he to know he wasn't supposed to push a year old baby? The weakling should have just got back up… surely to hell?

Whilst thinking this he had already got the ice cream; the eggs, the milk and the bread so next on the list were…

"Tampons? What on kami's green Earth are tampons?" he thought aloud to himself.

This earned him a few strange looks from the people surrounding him but a pretty blonde sales assistant seemed to pity him for a second. She opened her rosy lips, readying herself to impart this holy grail of information to him until a searing look and a sharply snapped phase had her walking briskly in the opposite direction.

"What're you looking at? You fool!"

Vegeta was well aware that his pride and inability to admit defeat was going to be his undoing some day but as every man will tell you there are two things a man must never do. The first is admitting that he is wrong and that he doesn't know something and the second cardinal sin is admitting that he cant read a map or having to ask for directions.

This situation would fall into both categories. Tampons are an unknown factor, possibly alien to this planet (if he knew Bulma) and that means he would also have to ask where they were located. He shuddered at the thought, as many good men should when placed in this most impossible of situations and then shuddered once more just to prove the point of how much of an amazing man he really was. On the broadest scale of things… of cause.

The prince of all Saiyan had to decide what was in his best interests. His options were (as far as he could see) either: (A) Buy the tampons and face the shame of asking for help or (B) don't buy the tampons and piss off Bulma but this meant that he could kiss his sex life and for that matter any sort of life good bye. So in short this was a loose, loose situation, so he best pick wisely.

Sex or pride? Sex or pride? He quickly decided that sex was the better option because with it he could rebuild his pride by satisfying his woman. So he set about his task with all the good grace of a man wanting to get 'some' as soon as Bulma stopped being the once a month, penis snapping, mega bitch that she had become.

After ten minutes of searching and finally directions leading him to the 'woman's heath' aisle he found what he was looking for. He paused for a moment to pick from the over whelming choices in front of him and selected the brand that claimed to be 'strong and durable' and promptly paid and walked out of the shop.

The twenty-minute walk from the shopping centre to Capsule Corp was somewhat inconvenient now and would have to be done at a run that he knew what tampons were and what would happen to his male friends opinion of him if he were caught in the act of carrying a woman's necessity.

He managed it in under a minute and strolled inside the house with the air of a man who had survived a mission of untold danger to find Krillin, Goku and Gohan sitting at the table grinning at him.

"See? I told you guys that I could make him do it. Now pay up?" Bulma stated to her guests with an evil grin as they handed over ten dollars each to her.

Krillin just grinned, "It was worth it just to see the 'prince of all tampons' here, accomplish something that doesn't include being out smarted by the washing machine."

The rest burst out laughing as Vegeta lunged at Krillin as he promptly flew away.

He would never live this down. He just knew it.
