I was wishing upon the very stars in the night sky that I didn't have to attend tonight's event. So much for wishful thinking right? Tonight was the yearly Capsule Corp. charity event. I seriously didn't want to go. Every year the event became more dull and meaningless. I mean, I had no problem with the charity or giving away to those who needed it the most. But my problem was sitting around the greedy businessmen who pretended they cared about those less fortunate than them. It was heartbreaking because none of these men or women would spare a dollar on their own. Some of them felt forced to even attend the event, and the rest of them just came to make themselves look good. What a façade.

I usually dress to impress, but instead I chose something cool and casual. I was wearing a royal blue long sleeve lace body-con dress. The dress fit perfectly and I looked great in it. I didn't really need any makeup but I applied some lipstick to make my lips desirable. I took one last look in the mirror and left my room.

I looked at my watch to check the time. I had 30 minutes to spare. I decided to check in on my father to see if he was ready. Most likely he threw on a fresh new lab coat and called it a night. That was style to him. It only made more sense who I got my fashion style from and it was clearly my mother. When I reached my parents' bedroom door I knocked softly. My father answered the door immediately. I was correct, he pulled out a brand new coat and put it on. His pet cat dangled from his shoulder as always.

"Oh hello my dear, you look very beautiful. Blue is really your color you should wear it more often."

"Oh dad, you say that to everything I wear."

"I do? Oh. Well my dear everything looks good on you." He smiled.

"Are you ready to go dad?"

"Of course. I just heading out to say good night to your mother."

"She's not going?"

"No. Plus someone has to stay here and feed that saiyan friend of yours. Do you know our grocery bill went up since he's been here? Not that I'm complaining but he has one big appetite."

I didn't mean to laugh but I was glad someone noticed Vegeta ate like he had 10 stomachs to fill up. We walked into the kitchen where Mom was pulling food out of the oven and Vegeta sitting at the table waiting for his food to be served.

"Oh hello dear, oh Bulma dear you look so fabulous." She said happily.

"Thank you mom." Mom why don't you come with us to the charity?

"I have to feed our guest sweetie. Plus I have laundry to do." She replied.

"Forget Vegeta you can feed him later."

"What was that?" Vegeta questioned.

"Well, there's lots of food at the charity you can eat."

"Tch. Yeah right." He said firmly.

"Well you're missing out on a scrumptious dinner, with the finest food from all over the country." I said trying to persuade him.

"Hmph." He groaned.

I was only persuading him to come along because my parents wouldn't last long without each other. It was one thing with him being in the lab and her being in the house. They understood where they truly belong and respected each other for that. But anything outside of that usual bubble was nerve wrecking for them. My father wouldn't stay long in the event, he would end up back here and that would leave me by myself. Or it would be mother coming to the event handing out cookies to everyone and pushing everyone to an endpoint, where they would just leave upset. And that would only involve the company to lose good business partners.

"Come on don't be a jerk. You can have all the food you want."

"I'm not going woman just give up."

"Now Vegeta you know me well enough to know I don't give up, at least not easily."

"Well, today is the day to start now!"

"Just come for five minutes. It won't kill you."

"Fine. Lead the way woman."

"Yes! Mom, dad you ready?"

"Yup." They both said in unison.

"Alright let's go." I said cheerfully.

EVENT

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the yearly Capsule Corp. Charity Event. It's a pleasure to see you all once again. It's also a pleasure to see new faces in the crowd. This event is what makes you all so special and shows your true generosity. It's good to know those less fortunate then us can count on you guys including Capsule Corp. the most. You guys have kind hearts and without you, nothing would be possible. So thank you. You make the impossible, possible and we should continue to keep that going for as long as we can. To all the new faces in the crowd, you are on the right path and followed the right person if you are here with us on this very night. So welcome and you are always welcome to come back again. We are the future so let's continue to build our way up higher then tonight. Well enough with the thanks you and welcomes. Please enjoy the food and each other's company. And please ignore the short buff man in the corner who is eating all the food like a pig. There is more coming out so don't worry. Alright is there any questions? Yes you sir.

"Since you're single now, are you looking to have a good time?"

"Alright, is there anybody who has a question related to the charity only?" Alright then.

I walked over to my father who was sitting beside my mother.

"Great introduction dear."

"Thanks dad."

"You looked great up there."

"I'm glad I got that out of the way for now."

"It wasn't that bad, I enjoyed it dear, are you closing the event?"

"Unfortunately I am."

"I'm sure it's going to be grand sweetie. Knock em dead."

"Sure thing mom." I tried to smile.

The event had just begun and I was already ready to go home. Everybody was having their own conversation and it was definitely loud in here. I was annoyed to the max. I looked over at the buffet table and noticed Vegeta was still here. His five minutes were up a long time ago, why was he still here? Nobody was making him stay. I made my way over to him so I can find out his situation. But I was blocked by the same man who asked me was I looking to have a good time since I was single. I was in trouble and I knew I wasn't getting out of it without a fight. The night had just started and I knew it wasn't ending anytime soon.

A/N: So thanks to my friend, she convinced me to upload at least one chapter if not two. The Wifi here in the hospital is poor so forgive me if there is any glitches or errors. I'll fix them when I get back home.
