A Very Vegeta Christmas

By: The Bubbles

Summary: When Bulma catches a cold, Vegeta is stuck doing the Crhistmas shopping on the (big booming voice) LAST SHOPPING DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!! (coughsputtercough)

Disclaimer: Toriyama owns DBZ, not me. He probably never even intended to have Christmas in the DBZ universe. But such is the case.

A/N: This takes place between the end of Z and the beginning of GT.

Chapter 1

"But Vegeta, you have to!"

"I don't have to do anything! Why don't you do it yourself, like every year?"

"Because I'm sick, you jerk!" She sneezed and then turned away with her arms crossed. "How d'ya like that? I'm stuck in bed with pneumonia and my own husband doesn't even care. Boy, do I know how to pick them."

He 'hmphed.' "Oh, please, don't be so dramatic. It's a cold at best. Besides, I didn't see you making chicken soup for me last week when I was sick." He added under his breath, "Probably would have made me sicker anyway."

"You want to say that again? Oh, it doesn't matter. Here." She threw a folded up piece of paper at him. "Just go get everything on that list before tomorrow night. Or do you want to make your children unhappy?"

He sighed in resignation.

"Fine, I'll do it." He stalked out muttering to himself about weak spots and chicken soup.

"Besides, Vegeta, it's your fault anyway. You're the one who breathed on me and made me sick in the first place."

"Grr… I didn't hear you complaining at the time." He slammed the door hard behind him. Bulma smirked.

(o.o.o)

"Wow, that's harsh," Goku said. "So you're stuck doing the Christmas shoppuing?"

After leaving Bulma to sneeze her brains out at Capsule Corp, Vegeta had gone to the Son house and dragged Goku along with him to the mall. If he was going to suffer through the last shopping day before Christmas, he was going to make Goku suffer through it with him.

"She probably thinks she can break me. But she's wrong! Let's go!"

He smirked and stalked past Goku to the store. Goku scratched his head in confusion and shrugged.

"Whatever you say, Vegeta," he said before following the irksome prince.

(o.o.o)

A/N- I will try very, very, very hard to have the entire story up by New Years. I was going to have it all up by Christmas. Anyway, if I get the Fly-Pen-Thingy I've been asking for I probably will. I write a heck of a lot faster than I type.

Next chapter- Vegeta drags Goku to pick up Krillen's, ChiChi's, and Piccolo's gifts, as well as a cameo from Piccolo and your's truly, me!

Oh, and Merry Christmas.
