Bulma always seemed to be working whether it was building a space ship, fixing dinner, or caring for Trunks. Once again she was working diligently. Although this time she was working in a different way. The blue haired genius was thinking of a plan to get Vegeta to stop calling her "woman". Not an easy task but the determined wife felt it had to stop. It was degrading, offensive, and unnecessary.

"Lets see…. I could smack him every time he says it" Bulma thought to herself. She shook her head knowing all to well that could mean serious consequences for her.

"I could just ignore him when he says it" she quickly dismissed that idea because it was simply impossible to ignore a guy like vegeta.

After several hours of intense pondering a maniacal smile found its way to bulmas face. She had her plan, now she just needed to put in motion.

"woman" vegeta shouted while stomping into Bulmas lab. "I told you the GR was broken hours ago"

Bulma smiled at vegeta then chirped "I'm sorry Veggie I must have forgot".

"You forgot, What do you mean you for…." Vegeta stopped mid sentence with a puzzled look on his face. "Wait what did you just call me?" he asked.

"I don't know what your talking about veggie" Bulma replied.

"There you said it again, don't call me that ridiculous name." Vegeta commanded.

"What's the matter, you don't like your nickname?" Bulma asked grinning ear to ear.

"Nickname? That is NOT my nickname I don't have a nickname you imbecile!" the proud saiyan prince was screaming at this point.

"Oh veggie it's so easy to get under you're skin." Bulma said. "I'll fix the GR for you Veggie, since you asked so nicely." Bulma said sarcastically leaving her lab. Vegeta just stood there with a priceless look on his face.

It would take the woman at least an hour to fix the GR. So Vegeta had nothing to do but think about the event that just took place.

"Ok it's obvious she is trying to piss me off. She is doing a damn good job too. But why? Why is she trying to anger me? And where did she come up with that name? Its horrible!"

The arrogant man decided the only reasons could be she wants something from him, or she just decided to torment him. Quite frankly he didn't know which was worse. One thing was for sure he was going to find out. Vegeta walked into the GR looking for answers.

"Alright woman what do you want. Why are you calling me that forsaken name?"

Bulma stopped working on the complex structure and turned to respond to her royal pain in the ass. "What name?" she asked.

"don't play dumb! You know very well what I am talking about!" The saiyan yelled.

Bulma smiled and cheekily asked "Why, don't you like it Veggie?"

Vegeta was becoming more than angry now "I am the prince of all saiyans not a side dish."

Bulma decided it was time to reveal the method behind the madness. "Alright Veggie here is the deal I will stop calling you Veggie when you stop referring to me as woman you jerk."

Vegeta thought about it for a second and quickly snapped back "No way you cant control me like that. I will call you what I want woman."

Bulma sighed then said "Fine suit it yourself Veggie." she picked up her tools then left the GR "He'll give in, I know it." she reassured herself.
