A Present for Kakarott

It was the day before Christmas and the Vegeta Family are outside playing with snow, yes playing
with snow.

“Now we only need to make the head,” Bulma said, she and Trunks were making a snow man.

“I’ll go get a carrot from the kitchen for the nose,” Trunks giggled and ran inside.

“Say, Arbok, can you find me a long stick or broom?” Bulma asked.

“Char,” Arbok nodded and went off to find a stick.

Bulma hummed to herself while waiting for Trunks.  She heard someone laugh and a snow ball hit
her head.  It was Vegeta.

“What did you that for?!!!” she exploded, her face going red in anger.  Vegeta snorted and threw
a snow ball on her face.

“Great make over,” Vegeta snickered, Bulma’s whole face was covered with snow.

“That’s it!” Bulma snapped.  She grabbed the snow from the snow man’s body and made a snow
ball.  She threw it at Vegeta but missed.

“You need to work on your aiming,” Vegeta insulted.

Vegeta’s comment just made her furious.  Bulma quickly made snow balls from the snow man’s
body and threw five snow balls each time she had the chance at Vegeta.

“Hey no fair!” Vegeta scolded.

“Who said you had to be fair?” Bulma said sarcastically and threw more snow balls at Vegeta.

“Stop it!  My jacket and my jeans are wet from the snow!” Vegeta gave up.

“Oooh.  Little princey wants to give up.  I’m just getting started!” Bulma said in a sing song
voice.

“Hey what’s happening?” Trunks asked as he came out and saw Bulma throwing snow balls at
Vegeta mercilessly.

“Had enough princey?” Bulma asked with a smirk.

“Yeah.  Yeah.  Whatever,” Vegeta grumbled and went inside to change.

“What happened to the snow man Mama?” Trunks asked.

“Oh, I think I got a little carried away,” Bulma chuckled to herself nervously.  “I’ll just get you a
plastic one from the mall okay?” Bulma told Trunks.

“Okay,” Trunks whimpered.  “Arbok!” he called.  Immediately, Arbok came to him and they went
inside, Bulma followed.

“Let’s go shopping,” Bulma said to her family after they finished lunch.

“What for?” Vegeta asked scornfully.

“I have to buy some presents.”

“I thought you bought your presents last week.”

“Well, I did, but not the Son’s.”

“They don’t deserve any,” Vegeta snorted.

“Vegeta!” Bulma scolded.  “Now, all of us are going shopping and no complaining!” Bulma
snapped.

“Stupid Kakarott the bone head and his loud mouth mate and his geek brat and the other air
headed brat,” Vegeta grumbled.

“Can we bring Arbok?” Trunks asked.

“Sorry Trunks, no pets allowed in the mall,” Bulma answered.  “I’ll ask your grandpa to look
after him while we’re gone okay?”

“Okay,” Trunks replied.

“Now dress up,” Bulma said, shooing Trunks to his room.

“Come on Arbok let’s go,” Trunks called out to Arbok and ran to his room with Arbok slithering
behind him.

“Say, Bulma, can I pick Kakarott’s present?” Vegeta asked Bulma.

“Okay but it better be a decent gift,” Bulma warned and went to their room, Vegeta followed.

“Good bye Arbok!” Trunks cried from the car, waving at Arbok who was watching him leave
from a window in his room and they drove away from the garage.

When Vegeta, Bulma, and Trunks got to the mall, Bulma went with Trunks while Vegeta took off
on his own, looking for a gift for Gokou.

“Aha!” Vegeta whispered as he saw a novelty store.  The store he went in was called San
Francisco.  The store had toys and prank stuff like smoke bombs.  “This will do,” he thought and
grabbed the item from the rack and went to the cashier.

“Do you want it gift wrapped sir?” the cashier asked.

“Yes please,” Vegeta answered.

The cashier putted the item in a small box and wrapped it with red paper and stapled a green
ribbon on it.

“That will $20.75 plus tax and service charge,” the cashier said.

“Just a minute.”  Vegeta reached for his pocket and took out his wallet.  He took out $25 from his
wallet and gave it to the cashier.

“Here’s your change sir $4.25,” the cashier said with a smile.

“Keep the change,” he smirked and walked out of the store with Gokou’s gift.  Vegeta then
headed to the entrance door and Bulma and Trunks were there waiting for him.

“Let’s go!” Bulma said and they all headed to the parking lot and drove home.

Christmas came and the whole gang were celebrating Christmas at Capsule Corporation.  After
they ate lunch, they all headed to the living room to open their presents.

“Who goes first?” Chi Chi asked.

“Me and Chaozu will go first,” Tien volunteered and they handed their gifts.

“Me and Yamcha bought our gifts together,” Krillen said and handed their presents after Tien.

Piccolo, Dende, and Kame handed their presents after.  Bulma’s parents, Master Roshi and
Oolong, and the Son’s handed their presents one after the other.

“I guess it’s our turn now,” Bulma chuckled and handed everyone’s gifts.

“Hey where’s mine?” Gokou asked in his casual childish voice.

“Here it is but don’t open it until you get home,” Vegeta smirked and handed Gokou’s present.

“Thanks Vegeta.  But how come you don’t want me to open it now?”

“Because you’ll get a big bang surprise out of it if you open it at your house,” Vegeta said.

“Oh, okay then.”

The whole gang chatted for the rest of the day and then ate dinner.  After that, Bulma’s visitors
left.

“What did you give Gokou anyway?” Bulma asked Vegeta while cleaning up.

“Shush.  Wait.”  Vegeta was looking at the window like he was waiting for something.

“VEEEEEGGGGEEEEETTTTAAAA!” Gokou yelled from a distance.

“Now tell me, what did you give him?”

“A fart bomb,” Vegeta snickered.
