Vegeta was startled awake from his nap by an insistent beeping. "Nggh. What time is it?" Vegeta looked around the cockpit, and was shocked to find it empty. "KAKAROT! Where are you!? You were supposed to be watching our progress home!" With a scowl he moved his chair to the command console which was flashing an alarming orange. Just then Goku walked in, a sandwich in one hand. "What did you say, Vegeta? I got bored and was hungry so I decided to sit and eat for a bit." He was stopped by the beeping and flashing orange light. "Is it supposed to do that?" Vegeta glared daggers at him. "No, you buffoon. It is most certainly not supposed to be flashing orange. How long were you gone." He turned back to the console to diagnose the issue. "I dunno, I wasn't really keeping track of time. I did make a new kind of sandwich, it's got mustard, garlic, pick-" He was cut off fairly rudely. "Didn't ask, don't care. Now shut up and let me figure out how you've doomed us."

Goku sat down and grumbled about how it wasn't his fault he was hungry. They had left fairly quickly from the multiversal tournament in order to get back home. Vegeta was worried about Bulla, she had caught a cold of some sort and that left him a worried wreck. His fingers flew across the keys and he silently praised his wife for making such an easy to use system. It turns out, they had encountered a shockwave in the Void Between and it required quick correction. However, Goku had decided to let Vegeta sleep instead of waking him since he was so grouchy and hung out in the mess hall instead. Thankfully the system had annoyed Vegeta into wakefulness and he was able to try and address the issue. They had been knocked severely off course and were headed for a different universe than their home. "Kakarot. You nearly stranded us forever because you couldn't wait a few hours to stuff your face?!" He desperately wanted to glare some more but this took precedence. "Aww, come on Jeets, we wouldn't really be stranded forever. We'd get home eventually, right? It's like sailing on the ocean, we'd hit home shores eventually." Vegeta paused in his course correction and turned to Goku. "You know less about sailing than you do about space travel LET ALONE NAVIGATING BETWEEN UNIVERSES YOU DOLT! I was a fool to trust you! From now on I don't think I'll trust you to draw a bath and not drown yourself, let alone keep watch of what was getting us home!"

Goku at least had the presence of mind to look bashful. "I didn't know it would be such a big deal AND I was starving, that lady that beat me in the semi-finals really thrashed me, hehehe." Vegeta knew that he had grown as a person based solely on the fact he didn't reduce his -friend- to space dust. He just simply turned back to the computer and went back to making sure they could get home. Silence except for typing reigned for several minutes. "I'm sure I said I was sorry, you don't need to give me the silent treatment. I hate when Chi-Chi does t-" Another shockwave ripped through the Void, washing it with a multitude of colors. "Brace for impact, Kakarot!" The shockwave didn't gently pass the ship, it rocked and shook it immensely. The chairs deployed extra straps and cushions over the top to prevent any and all injury. The colors flooded the ship and suddenly the last sons of Planet Vegeta knew no more.
