Vegeta was once again sitting on his couch, relaxing, doing his thing, and watching a little bit of Thanksgiving football. However, much to his despair, Goku was sitting next to him, watching and cheering like an idiot. Vegeta could only roll his eyes at him. Once again, it was that time of year, Thanksgiving. He had managed to escape Halloween, but not without quite a lecture from Bulma. And so now he was forced to spend the entire day with the family. It wasn't that bad though. Today of course was the day of eating! If Goku hadn't been there, this would have been his favorite day of the year. He would be able to eat and eat and eat as much as he could stuff into himself. But with Goku around...there was NO food to eat and therefore, the day sucked. His thoughts were interupted by the sound of someone grunting and sitting down to his left. "Namek."
"Vegeta." And those were the only words exchanged between Piccolo and Vegeta.
"YO PICCOLO!!!" Goku on the other hand jumped up and danced around the room happily, singing Piccolo's name. Vegeta could feel the headache coming on and quickly a ki blast was fired to shut Goku up. This though did not stop him. Goku's singing only became louder and with more holllaring. The sound of this drew out the two young halflings out, Goten and Chibi Trunks. Much to Vegeta's horror, they were once again wearing their Indian costumes and prancing around like fools.
"Blasted children! Shut your mouths before I shut them up forcefully!" Chibi Trunks and Goten stopped their Thanksgiving fun and looked at Vegeta. Now normally, they would have broken out crying, however the spirit of holiday was within them, and an evil glint in their eyes. Within merely seconds, Vegeta found himself tied to a tree outside with energy beams for ropes. Chibi Trunks and Goten danced around the tree chanting for rain and offering Vegeta as a sacrifice. And then it stopped, and Goten and Chibi Trunks just stood there starring at Vegeta.
"You know Goten, I seem to remember reading about Indians burning people alive."
"I think you are right Chibi Trunks. And we really need the rain (even though it rained yesterday)."
"DO WHAT?!" Vegeta was out of his mind not believing what he was hearing. As he struggled to free himself from his bonds to the tree, Goten and Chibi Trunks started pilling wood on him. It then occured to them that no matter how much wood they pilled on him, it wouldn't be worth it without a match of some sort. They could easily fire a ki blast at the wood, but there was a chance that would kill Vegeta, or so that's what they thought. They truely did underestimate the power of Vegeta. And so leaving Vegeta out there in the cold, the children ran back to the house.
They entered the kitchen where Bulma and Chichi were cooking. Of course Bulma's food was just turning out horrible, yet Chichi managed to save every dish with her wonderful skills. "Take off your shoes before coming in boys," Bulma stated not even looking up from the cake she was trying to bake.
"Mummy we need a match," Chibi Trunks said as he slowly took off his shoes.
"A match? For what?"
"To light a fire so that the Groove will bring rain."
"The Groove?"
"YES!!! THE GROOVE!!!" Chibi Trunks started running in circles chanting its name. Goten followed in doing so.
"What is this Groove you speak of boys?" Both of them immediatly stopped and looked up.
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE GROOVE IS MRS. BULMA?!"
"No, Goten I don't. Please tell me."
~Side story!~
A chibi style Mirai Trunks comes in and gives the crowds a peace sign. "Hey minna san! I'm just here to give you a little information on the Groove. The Groove is a powerful internet force which brings music, cds, mp3s, large houses, black convertibles, PEPSI, and best of all," he stopped here inserting a dramatic pause, "RAIN! Thanks for listening. Back to the show!"
~Back!~
"OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG (Oh My Groove)." Goten fainted on the spot and Chibi Trunks looked up to the sky hopefully.
"Mummy, The Groove is the greatest force of this universe. IT BRINGS RAIN!!!" Chibi Trunks clapsed his hands together in joy and shouted, "THE GROOVE!" Bulma could only blink at him.
"I think we had better give the boys a match Chichi...before they totally lose it." The women looked around the kitchen and strangley enough they couldn't find a single match. "I could have sworn I kept them hidden in that one drawer. I bet I know who has them. PICCOLO AND MIRAI TRUNKS GET OVER HERE NOW!" Within seconds the pair was in the kitchen. Piccolo was leaning against a wall with his head bowed and Mirai Trunks was just kind of there.
"Wassup Mom?"
"What did you two do with my matches?"
"Oh yeah see, we kind of used them all for that experiment of seeing how many matches it would take to burn that planet of wood. All are gone, but these few remaining ones." He help up a single pack that was half used.
"Give them to Goten and Chibi Trunks."
"Why?"
"Some sacrifice to the Groove or something." Mirai Trunks and Piccolo perked right up.
"Did you say these would be for...THE GROOVE?!"
"What is this Groove everyone keeps talking about?" Bulma asked a bit annoyed. Chibi Trunks frowned.
"Mummy, I already told you what the Groove is."
"Fine whatever," she said as she placed a hand on her forehead. "Just get out of here and do whatever it is you need to do." All four placed on their shows and ran out the back door. Piccolo was grinning evilly ready to cause some havoc.
Vegeta found himself surrounded by four different people, two of which he hated. He growled at the namek as Piccolo grinned back at him. "Hello Vegeta." There was a long dramatic pause. "THE GROOVE!!!" The others repeated his words and started running in circles around Vegeta. And then it all stopped and the four returned to their original positions.
"You know Vegeta," Mirai Trunks started.
"There needs to be a sacrifice," Piccolo continued.
"You'll do wonderfully Vegeta," Goten stated with an evil glint in his eye.
Chibi Trunks started jumping up and down ready to say his line, and then screamed at the top of his lungs, "SACRIFICE TO THE GROOVE!!!" Everyone else also was screaming this and raising their fists into the air. Mirai Trunks had out his boombox and was playing loud dance music. Everyone started dancing as he took out a match and lit a small fire near Vegeta's feet. Vegeta looked down at the pitiful flames and blew them out. This only caused Mirai Trunks to growl and try again. And so the battle began. Every time Mirai Trunks would light a match, Vegeta would blow it out.
"Ok that's it! Hand me the duct tape!" He demanded and placed his hand out, where a fresh new roll was placed. And that stopped the battle. Finally a small fire had been lit at Vegeta's feet. The four laughed insanely as they watched the fire grow and Vegeta look at it like it was nothing. After all, a small fire was nothing against the great Saiya-jin prince.
Goku looked out the window during the half time break to see what the kids had been up to. And boy what a half time break it was. "Oh look. They are making another sacrifice to The Groove. hehe. Good luck to Vegeta getting out of that one. Maybe I should save him though...but....I don't want to miss the game." He quickly looked from the T.V. to the fire and decided that football was far more important than saving Vegeta. Besides, Vegeta could get himself out of this one...couldn't he?
By now the flames had grown much high and hotter. Vegeta was beginning to sweat it a bit. The duct tape had proven to be much stronger than he could ever imagine. He made a quick mental note to add it into his training. However, there was little time to think of the future when so much was at stake in the present. A plan just had to be thought up and quickly, before he was burnt to a crisp. Like an apple crisp pie. Oh the joys of food were heavy on Vegeta's mind. The aroma of food cooking was pouring out from the open windows of Capsule Corp. Vegeta's eyes began to tear a bit. He so desperatly wanted to go eat, however he was stuck and about to be roasted alive. He watched through the windows as Goku ran into the kitchen and began eating everything. More tears came to his eyes. His food...his precious food! It just wasn't fair! With all his strength he tried ripping away from his bonds. Nothing would work though. Duct tape proved to be stronger than he could ever imagine.
It occured to Bulma that Goku was eating and everyone was outside. This was not normal. Normal was a free for all war for whatever food people could get their hands on. She sighed and quickly put on her shoes to go find out what was going on outside. She could smell word burning, so she knew something bad was going on. And much to her horror, she was right. She only had to walk a short distance before she could see the boys trying to burn Vegeta alive. Quickly she started yelling things that no one could translate. Some how though Mirai Trunks understood her and stopped running. He montioned to the others to stop too and they quickly sat down on the ground and looked innocent. "OH DO NOT GIVE ME THAT LOOK!!! GET VEGETA LIKE...GAH!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO MY POOR VEGETA?!" She started screaming more and stomping around in circles. Mirai Trunks just kind of whistled as Piccolo began meditating, Chibi Trunks looked at the ground for a stick, and Goten smiled innocently at Bulma. Vegeta was still struggling to get away from the fire. The flames were becoming much hotter and closer to him. Every now and then he would look back towards the window to check on the status of the left over food, which was quickly diminishing. "SAVE HIM NOW OR I SWEAR I WILL DESTROY THE GROOVE!" Chibi Trunk's eyes grew wide.
"NOOOOOO!!! SPARE THE GROOVE FROM JUST HORRORS!" Chibi Trunks and Goten quickly started pouring water onto the fire trying to get rid of the flames. And luckily for them, the Groove did love them and brought rain to help out their pathetic attempts. And then came the ripping of duct tape off of Vegeta's skin. Many screams came out of that. Bulma the entire time was yelling furiously. The second Vegeta was totally free, the four guys ran faster than they had ever before. Vegeta didn't follow through with a chase though.
Goku found himself being tapped to a wall with duct tape. Vegeta laughed insanely and looked at all the left over food. "Now Kakorrot," he grinned a devilish grin. "You will suffer the way I did...and you shall...WATCH ME EAT! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" His whole body racked as he laughed. Within seconds he was tasting everything on the table. The others were slowly coming back and catiously joining Vegeta at the table. And Vegeta was so happy to be free and eating, he even let his captors join him at the table, where they all had a large feast. Goku on the other hand, had to watch everyone eat until Vegeta was so over joyed, that he let even Goku join him at the table.
Mirai Trunks, Chibi Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo all were being tied down with duct tape to the wall. Vegeta laughed insanely as he watched them struggling to break free. "YOU FOOLS! YOU DARE TO MESS WITH I, PRINCE VEGETA! I WILL SHOW YOU PAIN!" With a quick smirk Vegeta turned his back to them and sat on the couch to watch Thanksgiving football, even if Kakorrot was sitting next to him. The scary thing was, he didn't really mind. Even though he had been tied up all day and almost burnt to a crisp alive, he actually got to eat a lot this year, and he learned of this, "Groove." Nodding, he decided that the Groove would be a most powerful tool for future uses. A slightly evil smirk appeared on the corner of his lips, but it did not last long. The football game was far more important, even though the Groove was making it rain there too.
