Chapter 4: Snow White
The following night, Vegeta was enjoying his peace and quiet. Trunks had left to go on a double date with Goten, Bulma was either fast asleep already or in her lab and Bra was thought to be in bed. Vegeta decided to take it easy and went to the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of water, and went and sat down to watch some tv. About a half hour into the program he was watching he felt a little presence in the room.
"Bra. What are you doing up?" He said without taking his eyes off the tv.
Bra came into the light and crawled up on the couch with her dad. "Daddy I can't sleep, Trunks told me a scary story and he said if I fell asleep the monster would eat me."
Vegeta rolled his eyes, Trunks always found a way to scare his little sister, "Don't be silly. Kakarrot isn't here. Besides I'm here."
Bra's face lit up. "So does that mean you'll read me a happy bedtime story!"
"Go find your mother."
"Mommy is already asleep I already looked."
Vegeta slapped his forehead 'Just my luck is should have went to bed too.' "Fine lets go."
"YAY! Thank you daddy!" Bra jumped off the couch and grabbed Vegeta's hand, basically dragging him up to her room. Vegeta was about to grab a chair but remembered what happened the other night and went and sat on the bed with Bra, that made her even more happy.
"Alright. What story do you want tonight?"
"Snow White..."
"Let me guess told in my way?"
"Yep." Bra hugged her bear and moved closer to her dad.
"Alright let's see...
A long time ago there lived a prince, he was the last surviving member of his race, since he was the last he was sent far away to live with an evil man that wanted all the power in the universe. The evil man hated the prince with a passion and did everything he could to put the prince down. He made him live in the unknown part of the his palace and do slave labor, the prince wore disgusting rags that had a ki suppressor built into it to hid the prince's true strength. Everyday the evil man would go to his magic mirror and ask who was the most powerful of all, every time the mirror would say him, until one day when it said the prince. This enraged the evil man it was time he did something about the prince.
That same time while the evil man was plotting to get rid of the prince, the prince himself was hard at work cutting firewood, fixing parts of the palace, and doing other degrading tasks for the evil man. While he was busy working away and beautiful young maiden came riding by on her horse. She stopped and watch the prince work. She couldn't believe how handsome and strong he was. She sat there for the longest time till she heard someone coming and rode off without the prince even knowing she was there. The someone that was coming was the evil man's right hand man, pretty-ugly boy, who was sent to take the prince out and kill him. Pretty-ugly boy and the prince rode out to quite a distance away from the palace, when pretty-ugly boy had a change of heart and told the prince everything and to run. The prince didn't want to run but did. He needed to be stronger to defeat the evil man. He ran for quite some time till he came upon a cottage in the middle of the forest. He saw that no one was home and went in. He found it in a complete mess, he blasted several things and decided to clean up a little. After he cleaned up he went up and found a room with 7 very large beds and made himself comfortable.
Not so far away, 7 men were heading back to their cottage for a nice dinner and for some sleep. The 7 men entered their cottage and found everything so different. They looked around and started to get mad. Then they heard a noise coming from their bed room. They made their way up there and found a young man sleeping in one of the beds. The prince instantly woke up and was about to blast them when the tallest one yelled, "STOP!" The prince's ki ball disappeared.
"Who are you?" The prince asked as he stood up.
"We could ask you the same thing. This is our house!" The tallest one yelled.
"Well I didn't know. I'm the Prince. He was running from the evil man's henchman to train and become stronger to destroy the evil man. Now who are you."
The Green one stepped forward, "The evil man you say. Well, then. I'm Green One. The smart one."
Another one came forward and had a hard time talking, "I'm Baldy, the shy one."
Another who tripped, "I'm Idiot, the not so smart one." He said rubbing the back of his head.
Another who sneezed right before, "I'm Scarface."
Another who was all smiles, "I'm Retard."
One of them had fallen asleep and the tallest one said, "He's Lazy and I'm Stupid."
(A.N. Piccolo, Krillin, Goku, Yamacha, Radditz, Yajirobe, and Nappa.)
"Daddy, mommy says those are mean words." Bra glared at her father.
"I don't care...
Meanwhile back at the palace, pretty-ugly boy brought back the heart of the prince's horse in place of the prince's. This made the evil man very happy till he found out it wasn't the prince's heart and he killed pretty-ugly boy. "I will find a way to kill him. The evil man disappeared to a hidden hide out in the palace. I will mix a formula so he won't recognize me and I will poison him. HA HA HA!" The evil man drank the formula and turned himself into a lizard. He than poisoned a steak...
"Daddy, it's supposed to be an apple."
"Who's telling the story here?"
"You are."
"Ok...
And left the palace. Back at the cottage the prince and the 7 men became good friends. The next day the 7 men left again to go to work. While they were gone the prince was training himself to become stronger when a strange lizard man came up to him. "Such a strong man you are. You must eat every well."
"It's none of your business."
"I was wanting to help you." The lizard aka the evil man, pulled out the steak, "See here. This is a powerful steak. It gives great power to whomever eats it."
The prince stopped what he was doing and looked from the lizard to the steak and back to the lizard. "Really?"
"Why yes, here try some."
In the mean time, there was an old woman watching over the prince. She was good friends with the 7 men and saw right through the evil man's disguise. She hurried off to tell the 7 men. When they returned it was too late. They chased the evil man till him came to a cliff. Idiot was lagging behind and finally caught up, but no one noticed. The 6 others had him cornered and were moving in for the kill, when all of a sudden a blast came from behind them and it went right through the evil man's heart and killed him. The 6 others looked back and it was Idiot that did it. They hurried back to the prince. They thought the prince was dead but found out he was sound asleep. They did everything to wake him but nothing would work. So they built a glass coffin for him, tell the day he woke.
One day a few weeks later, the young maiden was riding through the forest when she came upon the prince in his sleep. The 7 men stopped by everyday after their work was finished. That day they saw the maiden. She walked up to them, "What happened to him?"
Green One looked at her, "The evil man put the prince into a deep sleep, we can't seem to wake him."
The maiden's eyebrow forked up, "A prince you say. Well I'm a princess, let me see if there is a way for me to wake him." She walked over to the coffin and Idiot and Baldy lifted the lid. The princess bent down and placed a kiss on his cheek. Suddenly the prince's eyes opened the first thing he saw was the most beautiful maiden he had ever seen. And the lived together in happiness forever.
"Yawn...Daddy I like your stories, they are meaner than mommies and less scary than Trunks'. I love you daddy." With that Bra was asleep.
Vegeta looked down at his daughter. She knew he loved her, her mother and her brother and knew how hard it still was for him to say it. He got up and left the room after shutting off her light.
