Vegeta Joins a Rock Band

~ yea i know Vegeta is a little out of character in the middle of the story so just get over it - its still funny! ~

Vegta was happily strolling down happy lane when a weird dude with big ears comes up.

"Wow! You're the great Vegeta right?" he was nearly hopping up and down. "I've head so much about you! You're-"

"JUST GET ON WITH WHATEVER YOU WERE GOING TO SAY BEFORE I LOSE MY PATIENCE!!!" Vegeta yelled.

"Right," said the dude. "Look, my friends and I have a rock band and we sorta need another member and -well- we were hoping you would join our band. It'll be fun. We'll do all these fun performances and---"

"And WHY exactly would I want to join your rock band in the first place?????" Vegeta was starting to lose his patience and began preparing the blast the dude to h***.

"Well, you would make a lot of money and you could buy all sorts of training equipment..."

Vegeta was suddenly interested. Training equipment. He could train on another planet without having to live with those stupid Earthlings. "Hmmmm...." he said. "I guess I could come to a couple of your rehearsals, as long as I mede enough money to buy training equipment that is..."

"Great!" said the dude. "My name's Fred. Come over to my house tomorrow at noon. It's just behind that fence over there. See you then!"

"Right..." said Vegeta. His mind was so wrapped up in the idea of training equipment that he forgot entirely that he had no clue how to play an insturment.

...a few hours later...

Gohan was happily sitting at home when he heard a knock on the door. "Who is it???" he yelled.

"JUST OPEN THE DOOR YOU LITTLE TWERP IM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR GAMES!!!!!"

Oh great, thought Gohan. "Sorry Vegeta. My mommy's not home right now and she said I'm not s'posed to answer the door."

"Oh, come on!!!!!!!" Vegeta was desperate.

"No!" said Gohan. "My mom said especially don't open the door to scary people and I think you would classify as a scary person." *relaxes on the couch and begins whistling happily*

"ALRIGHT!!!!!" yelled Vegeta. "OPEN THE DOOR OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN!!!!!"

"Not by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!"

*And he huffed, and he puffed, and...*

(sorry I just had to use that opporitunity to include one of my favorite fairy tales in the story, and mind you, if there was a dbz 3 little pigs, which I might write someday, Goku would be to stupid to even BUILD a house, let alone a sturdy one...)

"Hey Vegeta, what's up?!" Goku was standing at the door.

"Go away Kakarot, I'm not in the mood for games..."

"Ummmm... this would sorta kinda be my house and dinner's soon and I sorta kinda wanna eat..." he said looking all spiffely dignified. "So just tell us what you want or leave."

Vegeta couldn't decide whether to tell Kakarot what he wanted or to leave - after all, asking for help would completly ruin his Saiyan pride. He finally decided that training equipment was worth a little humiliation.

"I need to learn how to play an insturment!"

"YOU WHAT??????!?!??!?!?!" Goku and Gohan could hardly believe their ears. Goku, in his usual corny way burst out laughing. "Vegeta! I never knew you liked music! *chuckle snort* I'm SURE Gohan would be happy to help you learn - what insturment would you like to play?"

Vegeta sighed, knowing that his pride was ruined. "Well, any insturment you would use in a rock band..."

"OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" said Goku with excitment. "You can learn how to play the drums!!! I've always wanted to play the drums! They look like so much fun!!! Wow!!! Maybe you could like teach me someday!! That's really gr---"

"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But fine... I guess I'll learn how to play the drums then."

"YAY!!!!!!!!!!!" *Goku starts doing an Irish jig around the room*

Gohan turned away, embarassed at his father's behavior. "But dad, we don't have any drums, remember? You destroyed the ones Grandpa gave me cause you thought they were edible..."

"Oh yea...."

"OH BOTHER JUST USE THE BALD GUYS HEAD FOR LORDS SAKE!!!" Vegeta was losing his patience.

"No! That would be mean and cruel to do to a friend. I thought your heart was purer than that Vegeta... Its really not right to harm and punish people who have never done anything to you. That's always been my mo---"

"WOULD YOU SHUT UP ALREADY ITS GIVING ME A HEADACHE"

"Maybe you could learn how to play the keyborad..." Gohan suggested. "Even though Daddy ate ours thinking the keys were french fries, I think our neighbors have one..."

"All righty then..." said Vegeta, happy for a solution that didn't include Goku's lectures.

*They borrow the neighbors' piano and Gohan spends the whole afternoon teaching Vegeta how to play*

Eventually, Vegeta decides he's learned enough and goes home. The next morning he strolled on over to Fred's house just in time for the rehearsal.

*This is where my own personal experience comes in*

"HI!!!!" said Fred with a grin. "I see you've come after all! Great! Our band really needs a keyboard player - do you know how to play that?"

"Yea..." Vegeta muttered.

"Great! Right over here!" said the dude, showing him the keyboard, which was a cute little battery operated one.

Vegeta sat down at the keyboard and tried to remember everything that Gohan had taught him.

"All right," said Fred, who was obviously the leader of the band, "We're going to start by doing a little improvising!"

"Improvising..." thought Vegeta... "What in the h**l is that???..." *starts banging keys randomely and is really enjoying himself when...*

"What???" said Vegeta. The keyboard had suddenly jumped ten octaves and was blinking and sounded like the beginning orchestra at my school. (which, by the way, is not a very pretty sound)

"All right," said Jeff. "Now that that's made the whole band deaf, I guess you'll have to play on the big old ugly grand piano thats older than the earth itself" Vegeta sighed and went over to the piano.

*Vegeta goes to hit a note and the piano goes BOOM!!!!!!!*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed and ran across the room.

After a few hours Fred finally convinced Vegeta that the piano was NOT going to eat him and he went back to playing. Vegeta actually got pretty into it and was happily tapping his toe when he realized that every time he tapped his toe it went "clink clink clink"

He looked down and low and behold there was a HUMONGOUS nail in his shoe. And I mean this thing was HUGE! Cursing, he yanked it out, mumbling something about **** *** ** *** ***.

...And then Vegeta blew up the world...

~The end!~

well, since that was not NEARLY as good as the original was, I've decided to put a (slightly edited) copy of the IM conversation where I told quitebecky4 about my horrible day.
