Vegeta flies away as fast as he can, fighting the urge to go back and apologize for his sudden....actions. Of course, knowing how he was he doesn't go back but insteads continues his long flight to god knows where.
~~~~~~~~~~
Bulma climbs into the car, thinking about Vegeta's harsh words. She couldn't help but wonder what had forced Vegeta to say such a thing. She brushes away a stray teal blue hair from her face and sighs. Vegeta...whatever is going on in your head...it must be pretty bad, I've never seen you act this way in the year that you've lived here in Capsule Corp. Ever since me and Yumcha seperated I somewhat....like you...grrr...why do I have to be the one to fall for the arrogant bad boy types?! Curse you Vegeta!
Without another thought she starts the engine and drives away to the Son house.
~~~~~~~~~~
Vegeta lands in a lonely part of the wildnerness... He looks back once to see Satan City in the distance. If he wasn't mistakened...this was where he and Goku first fought. He could see small traces of scorched rocks and small craters from where they had shot many ki blasts. He sighs, "I've come so far since then... I have surprised myself so much with my sudden behavior change...but...I can't help it. I am....happy here. My past was something I have to still live in. Hmmmph, perhaps this is what my future has become. I am forever doomed to live on this damn rock till I get myself a better life."
His thoughts return to Bulma.
"Bulma..."
He sighs.
"I....I'm afraid that I have done it... I have bonded with that Earth woman. I can't get her out of my head. Why did I have to fall for her back on Namek? Damnit all to hell! I have to go back! I can't....be away from her....I.."
Vegeta hesitates when a white little speck falls from the sky and rests on his the tip of his nose then melts away.
"Nani?"
Vegeta looks up to see white stuff beginning to fall all around him. He stares at the stuff questioningly. I hate to sound like a baka, but what the hell is this shit?
Vegeta levitates into the air, barely spotting Satan City as the thick white stuff fell even harder. Vegeta's hot ki surrounds him, melting the crap that had begun to settle on his hair and clothing. It was certainly getting very cold for Vegeta and he stifles a violent shiver that traveled up his spine as a stinging gust of wind blew full in his face. "Damn, just when I thought my day could get any worse..I have this crappy..cold...white stuff covering me! Grrrr."
Vegeta slowly heads back home, struggling to see through the haze of whatever it was.
~~~~~~~~~~
Bulma, Chi Chi, Gohan, and Goku return from XMAS shopping. Goku and Gohan throw snow at each other while Chi Chi and Bulma carry the things inside.
Goku laughs as a misguided snowball wizzed by his head and landed in the bushes several feet behind him. "Ha Ha, you missed Gohan! I bet you can't hit me!!" Goku tilts his head to the side as yet another snowball sailed by.
Gohan runs at his father and the two wrestle around when suddenly Goku stops when he sees a pair of feet walking up the sidewalk.
Gohan takes the chance and shoves a snowball into his father's face. "Hehe heh. I gotcha...uh....woah." He stops to look at what his father was fixated on. He sees Vegeta slowly trudging up the sidewalk, his shoulders covered with snow as it continued to fall from the sky. His gravityless hair was somewhat covered with snow as well and Vegeta sorta looked like a bad attempt at frosty the snow. More like, Frosty the evil man.
Vegeta attempts to regain his diginity and tries to keep from showing how cold he was since he wasn't wearing very warm clothing. He shakes his head, a rain of snow falling onto the sidewalk.
"Hey Vegeta!"
Vegeta whips his head to the source of the voice, knowing that it was as always... "Nani Kakarotto?"
"Where have you been? You look cold...I mean your shivering. I think you need a nice warm jacket."
Vegeta sniffles lightly and ignores Goku. "Hmmph, I am not cold!" He brushes more white stuff away from his shoulders. "Nani is this crap?"
"Snow?," Goku asks while cocking his head to the side.
Vegeta glares at Goku. "What is it?," he demands.
Goku looks at Vegeta strangely. "You mean you've never seen snow before?"
Gohan smiles.
Vegeta feels the blood rush to his cheeks. He felt extremely stupid right now because whatever this stuff was... Goku and his hybrid brat knew and he didn't. "Damnit, just tell me and I'll be on my way!"
Goku gets up and approaches Vegeta. "All it is...is frozen balls of rain and stuff and it only falls in the winter. Snow is fun, you get to fight with it and build snowmen.."
Vegeta looks at Goku oddly. "Snowmen? Hmmph, I'm not even going to ask..." With that Vegeta was up the sidewalk and walks into Capsule Corp, slaming the door behind him.
Goku just shrugs his shoulders and resumes his snowball fight with his son.
Bulma and Chi Chi flinch when the slammed door rattles the house. They hear the squeaking of wet shoes agaist the tile floor in the door way then someone was walking across the carpet, and suddenly sneezes loudly.
Vegeta walks by the kitchen, sniveling and whiping his nose with a tissue he'd picked up from the coffee table.
Bulma and Chi Chi stare at the wet and cold Vegeta oddly.
Vegeta frowns. "The hell are you staring at?!"
Bulma and Chi Chi blink as Vegeta stomps down the hall to his bedroom, leaving them to their own thoughts.
Bulma sighs, wondering what had Vegeta gotten into to get so miserable looking. Was he catching a cold? She smiles. Oh well, the mighty saiya-jin prince was asking for it. He's the one who flew off without a jacket on.
