Night of the Babysitter 7

"I still don't see why I have to do this!" Vegeta growled as Bulma taped her cell phone number to the fridge. "There was no one else who'd do it, and besides, you're the one who insisted on not going. Annnd, you still need to pay back for destroying the graviton, again." Bulma sighed as she headed to the door, "Try not to turn the house into shambles, all right?" Vegeta muttered something, but didn't reply. "Trunks, Goten, Bra, Pan, Marron, don't do anything you'll regret. We will be giving you different punishments." With that the blue-haired genius closed the door behind her.

Vegeta glared at the five kids that were clustered around the couch watching a movie. They looked so innocent. Big disguise. Grumbling Vegeta went into the kitchen to make dinner, something that he didn't exactly know how to do... "Should we help daddy?" Bra turned to Trunks. "I don't know if we should...Mr.Vegeta gets awfully grumpy..." Marron started. The other four gave her a look and she shut up. "I know dad gets mad a lot but that ain't gonna stop us, all right? We will live up to our reputation!" Trunks announced. Marron gulped. Bra and Pan bounced into the kitchen. The blonde child reluctantly followed them.

There was a loud crash in the kitchen, sound of pots and pans. "What are you brats doing in here?" Vegeta boomed. "We're here to help you." two -extremely- cute voices chirped. Trunks and Goten snickered as Vegeta muttered under his breath. The two older 'brats' headed to the safety of Trunks's room, which had been...ahem...remodeled. "Dude, your room's a dump." Goten laughed. "Yeah I know, ain't it great?" Trunks plopped onto the bed. "So whadda we gonna do?" Goten plopped on the bed as well.

"Well, my dad does get angry very easily...but mom says he has a soft spot or whatever. We could do what we did to Piccolo." Trunks suggested. "Naw, too little action." Goten declined. "We could dye his hair pink!" Trunks exclaimed. Goten blinked, "You wouldn't..." Trunks flashed a mischievous smile, "Why wouldn't I?" Goten laughed, "Anything else?" "Holograms of dad's favorite enemies!" "And tea party! Make him play tea party!" The boys laughed wickedly.

"Oww! You stupid brat, be careful with that!" Vegeta's voice rang through the house. "Sorry Mr.Vegeta." Pan purred as she picked up the noodles. An hour after they started, Marron called Trunks and Goten for dinner. Vegeta and the girls had managed to make a fairly decent dinner; rice and beans. And it was gone in five seconds.

"Daddy will you play with us???" Bra looked up at Vegeta with the largest, cutest eyes the saiyan has ever seen. Vegeta glared at her, "Play what?" he grumbled. "Tea party!" Pan squealed. "What?! You---" Vegeta's protest came too late, the girls grabbed his arms and shuffled him into Bra's room.

"Got the dye?" "Yep." "Hologram projector?" "Yep." "Ok, Bra and the others should be about done." Trunks and Goten snuck through the hall. Inside Bra's room...."No, I refuse to talk to -Mr.Rubber.-" Vegeta growled. "But daddy! He's the guest!" Bra whimpered. "Oh, all right! Hello Mr.Rubber." the saiyan muttered. Vegeta was sitting in a little pink chair, around a little pink table, sipping from little pink teacups. And talking to a little pink stuffed bunny. "Drink yer tea, Mr.Vegeta." Pan commanded. Vegeta reluctantly grabbed the tiny tea cup and accidentally crushed it. (Why isn't the chair breaking? Oh, wait, all things pink are magical, never mind! Well…except that cup...)

"You broke the cup!" Marron frowned. Vegeta -tried- to look regretful, "How sad, now I can't drink from it." Bra smiled, "Don't worry daddy, we have a whole box of 'um." the blue-haired demi-saiyan pulled out a whole box of little pink teacups and handed one to Vegeta. "Trunks breaks 'um all the time." (All things pink are magical, except little pink teacups. BTW, I hate the color pink, so don't get the wrong idea.) Vegeta muttered a few words he shouldn't have, and grabbed the cup, this time it didn't break.

SPLOOOOOOOOOSH! Instant Hair Dye splashed all over the King of Saiyans. "WAAAARRRGGGG! You brats!" Vegeta's hands rushed up at his hair. The pink dye clung to Vegeta's hair, not dripping anywhere else. (Toldja all this pink are magical. 'Cept teacups) Bra, Pan and Marron giggled. "WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?" Vegeta roared. "Nothing!" the girls giggled. Pan handed Vegeta a mirror, then they flew out of the room. (Not literally)

"MYYYYYYYYYYYYY HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!!!" the shriek was as loud as a sonic boom. "YOU STUPID BRATS GET BACK HERE!!" Vegeta screamed. Trunks, Goten, Bra, Pan, and Marron were safely on the roof as they heard Vegeta tear the house apart looking for them. The pink-haired king striped Bra and Trunks's rooms bare. After about an hour, he gave up and went to take a shower, to hopefully take out the dye.

"He's taking a shower, just like planned, hand me the holo-projector." Trunks peeked in the master bedroom where his father was entering the bathroom. Goten handed his best friend the projector. Vegeta entered the shower, muttering about his brats. Bra, Pan, and Marron snuck back into the house, giggling. Trunks flashed the hologram inside the bathroom. Frieza, cyborg version, stood on the edge of the bathtub. Vegeta almost had a heart attack, "Frieza!" The hologram turned, "Why hello Vegeta." Goten sneered with the Voice-Changer 4000. "You look...interesting with pink hair." the holo-Frieza laughed.

Vegeta snapped off the shower and wrapped a towel around his waste. "What are you doing here?" the King of Saiyans snapped. The hologram smirked, "Why do destroy you of course." Now Vegeta smirked, "Do you really think you can defeat me? Why, you are so weak I can't even sense you." he said smugly. The holo-Frieza roared with laughter, Vegeta frowned. "Haven't you learned anything, you foolish saiyan? I destroyed your father, and I will destroy you as well." Vegeta clenched his fists and rushed at the hologram.

Vegeta went right through of course, holo-Frieza turned around, smirking, "You're getting slower Vegeta." Vegeta growled, then stood up straight, grinning. "You are the fool Frieza, you were beaten twice by super saiyans, now you will be beaten again." With that, Vegeta put up a nice show turning into SSJ1. The hologram of Frieza just kept smiling. The bathroom was being torn apart by the energy Vegeta was giving off. The King of all Saiyans was obviously too caught up in himself to remember what his wife had said.

Gohan jerked his head up, "Do you guys feel that?" he asked. Krillin frowned then nodded, "It's Vegeta." Bulma blinked, "What? What about Vegeta?" "He's powering up." Goku answered. "What? Why? My poor Goten is there!" Chi Chi said. "Well, he could be powering up for one of two reasons," Eighteen mused, "Either we've got ourselves a new enemy, or the kids have really pissed him off." "Well in any case, we should check it out." Gohan said. "Yeah," agreed Bulma, "And hurry before Vegeta destroys my whole house!"

Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Videl, and 18 blasted off towards Capsule Corporation. "Go save my Goten!" Chi Chi called after them. "Save my house!" Bulma cried.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vegeta was throwing wild punches and kicks at the hologram of Frieza, who just kept moving and laughing. "Grrrrr, why do you keep dodging? Why won't you fight me?" Vegeta growled. Frieza landed on the rim of the bathtub, "I was just waiting for you to finish." the hologram smiled, "Ready?" Vegeta smirked, "Of course." The holo-Frieza vanished. Vegeta's eyes darted around the room, he was no where in sight.

Trunks and Goten flew off the roof and into Trunks's bedroom window, laughing. "That was awesome! Your dad totally bought it!" Goten snickered, remembering the look on Vegeta's face. Bra, Pan, and Marron were already in the room. "We've finished with the booby traps." Pan said happily. "Great." Trunks grinned, "It's almost 10, we should go and pretend to be asleep." With that, Bra, Pan, and Marron left for Bra's room.

"FRIEEEZA WHERE ARE YOU???" Vegeta yelled from the bedroom. Gohan opened the front door and was drenched in water, "Vegeta?" Vegeta, fully dressed, came into the living room. "Have you seen him?" the saiyan demanded. "Seen who?" Goku asked entering the house. "Why are you wet Gohan?" "Yeah Vegeta, why'd you power up? And why is your hair pink?" Krillin stepped inside. "Frieza! You fools! He was here!" Vegeta told them, deciding to ignore the hair remark for now.

"Frieza?" Videl asked, trying to smother her laughter in seeing Vegeta's hair and Gohan wet, "Didn't Trunks kill him?" Vegeta clenched his fists in frustration, "Yes, but I saw him! He spoke! He was here!" he roared. Bulma and Chi Chi arrived in a Taxi, "What's going on here?" Bulma demanded, "Why is your hair pink?! Not that its bad looking..." "Vegeta said he saw Frieza." 18 explained. "What?" Vegeta explained what happened impatiently. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, where are the kids?" Chi Chi demanded. "I don't know, those ^&*#%@! brats dyed my hair and disappeared." Vegeta growled.

"TRUNKS, GOTEN, BRA, PAN, MARRON! Get DOWN here!" Bulma called. Five sleepy looking kids came down the stairs. "Did you use my old hologram projector again?" Bulma demanded. "Well......" "I tried to stop them!" Marron cried. Trunks, Goten, Pan, and Bra glared at her. "Trunks! I warned you! That's it! No games, no training, no going outside, and no phone for a MONTH!" "What?" Trunks stared at his mother. "Same to you Goten." Chi Chi glared at her son. "That isn't fair!" Goten protested. Gohan stared at Pan. Videl stared at Pan. Pan grinned stupidly and blinked. "No TV for a week." Gohan said rather hurriedly, avoiding the deadly cute eyes. Pan started to whimper. Chi Chi glared at Gohan, then at Pan. "Pan, no TV for a week and no playing with Bra for a week." Chi Chi said for Gohan, who looked relieved.

Bra tried to sneak upstairs before her punishment as decided, "Stop right there, young lady." Bulma whirled on her daughter. "No TV, and no movies for a month. And you will remove any other traps you have before going to bed." the blue-haired genius said firmly. "But mom! I'll miss the season finale of Pokemon!" Bra whined. But Bulma stood firm. Vegeta was giving all the 'brats' death glares. Sighing, Gohan and Videl shuffled Pan home. Goku, Chi Chi, and Goten left soon after. Marron stared at her parents. "Grounded for a week." concluded 18. Marron blinked, she had expected two months at least. Krillin, 18, and a dazed Marron left.

Trunks and Bra went upstairs, grumbling. "All I did was dye dad's hair...it's not like it's even permanent..." "VEGETA! LOOK AT MY BATHROOM!" Bulma shrieked. "You! I'm not fixing the stupid graviton!" "WHAT? YOU WILL DO AS I SAY WOMAN!" "YOU USE IT! YOU FIX IT!" "THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS!" "SHUT UP!" "NO ONE TELLS ME, THE KING OF SAYJIANS TO SHUT UP!" "WELL I JUST DID!" "......." "Humph. You are sleeping on the couch tonight." Vegeta's muttering travels from the master bedroom to the living room.
