It's just a little reptile!







As it turned out, there was a power outage in the entire city. In the meantime it was getting dark outside and dark rain clouds were gathering. Both Bulma and Vegeta were sitting on the couch, each crawling into the far corner of that piece of furniture and just staring in front of them.



"It was Yamcha," Bulma said suddenly.

Vegeta looked at her questioningly.

"He's been rummaging through your things ... he's jealous of you!" finished Bulma.

Vegeta just looked at her with a mixture of incredible, amusement and arrogance and began to laugh out loud. "What does this worm actually think of me? I'm not getting involved with human worms!" he let it be heard out loud and made a throwing motion. "I'm more likely to make out one of those cats that run around here to a large extent!"

Of course, this hurt Bulma's pride and ego, which resulted in her glaring at Vegeta."That can be arranged, you arrogant asshole! Anyone else would tear their legs out to get a smile from me!"

Vegeta looked at her unimpressed. "And !? As a prince, I am twice as popular! Every woman I have come across so far has languished her soul for me! They killed just to get a glimpse of me!" >
Now Bulma was completely in her element, just like vegeta, because both were people who liked to brag about what they had. "and me ..." she began and tossed her hair back in a meaningful pause "... All men are lying on their feet!" The arrogance that her eyes exuded at this moment almost exceeded the extent that Vegeta usually showed.

"Pah! Everyone was already at my feet, I was just born!"

Bulma couldn't keep up with that, so she did what she did secondly ... Start a serious argument with vegeta. "Monkey Prince!"
“Goat!” He answered promptly.

"Running meter!"

"Smurf!"

"Smurf? BOA! You get that back, you giant baby!"

"And how do you like that: plum!"

“Eating!” She folded her arms and began to grin, confident of victory.

But when she saw Vegeta's superior grin, she became unsure. "I am sure that the cat is delicious! Wasn't it maunz?" he asked the black and white cat that was striding along the armrest of the couch. The cat looked at him with big questioning eyes and tilted its head to one side.

Meanwhile, Bulma's eyes grew to the size of a plate. "You don't dare!"

Maunz, the somewhat too naive rat in the house of Briefs, went purring up to the prince, who was then kidnapped. "Why not? I have heard that there are some here on earth that cats can prepare very delicious!" The Sayajin prince unconsciously scratched during his Maunz, which kept purring, which in turn had a calming effect on vegeta.

"You leave Maunz alone!" Bulma continued to shudder, but Vegeta certainly wasn't listening to her ... This purring ... he knew something like that .... He's always liked it, it had calmed him down ... yes, he was slowly remembering. His father always reassured him with a deep purr and, when he was still very young, used it to make him fall asleep. It was better than any lullaby he had ever heard!

He sank into the happy memories of his childhood, so that he didn't notice that he was slowly falling asleep ...



"Well, so what! I'll piss him off and he'll sleep away!" Bulma said more to himself, asl to someone else, which was of no use anyway, since nobody was there to listen to her at the moment. Even maunz slept in the arms of Vegeta and made the prince look like a little boy with his teddy bear.

Somehow the anger at the arrogant baka was gone and she smiled at the sleeping one. "Sweet!"


It was dark

Nowhere light

Everything empty

And yet depressing ... Still

Panicked, he looked around

I saw a figure standing half in the light

Wanted to see her, but the figure disappeared from the beam of light when he joined her

Alone… again he was alone…. Abandoned ... forgotten ... lonely

Nobody there to hug him, nobody to support him

Protects from the dark ...

Which he fears ...

Since the monster

It came at night

It took it all

There was nothing ... except pain ... ruin

The cone of light goes out and he stands there, trembling

Looks around uncertain

BOMP

A step! It reverberates loudly ... like a thousand soldiers on the march

BOMP

Another step ... is getting closer ... His heart is beating just as loudly

BOMP

Is it HE? Is he coming back to humiliate him?

BOMP

He is there ... spoiling in a cold body ...
BOMP

He has the feeling that his heart is failing ... the steps fade behind him ... cold sweat flows down on him ...

He turns slowly around ...

And finds himself in a sunlit meadow with his father in front of him. Looks at him proudly and unnaturally.

He feels like he was a child ... He's a child now!

“It's just a little reptile!” His father suddenly speaks, but he just looks puzzled.

His father bends down and picks up a white-purple reptile that is just the size of a hand. "Nothing to be afraid of, Vegeta!" his father smiles slightly and holds out the reptile to his son.

Startled, the boy backs away a few centimeters, stands indecisively and looks back from his hand, into his father's face and from there.

He carefully approaches the hand again, with the animal on it.



His nose moved slightly ... didn't he smell cherries?Slowly Vegeta opened his eyes and looked around.

This cat was still sleeping on his arm.

He sniffed the air ... Yes, that was cherry. It smelled like that cake she gave him to try yesterday!

He got up slowly and walked towards the kitchen, still with the cat in his arms.
