Marching outside with determination, Vegeta rubbed his stomach satisfactorily as he prepared to begin his training for the day. He opened the door to the gravity chamber and habitually began entering the settings on the machine until an alarm beeped harshly at him.
"What?" Vegeta asked, his eyes widening in surprise as he glanced up towards the flashing warning lights on the ceiling. The video monitor suddenly lowered and the beautiful woman he had just had breakfast with popped up on the screen, glowering at him and wearing an arrogant smirk.
"Just what do you think you're doing, Vegeta?" She challenged, wagging a finger at him.
"Training! What do you think I'm doing?" Vegeta replied. But as soon as the response escaped his mouth, the reasoning behind the alarm came to his mind. Bulma smirked victoriously at the change in his expression at the realization.
"It doesn't look like you'll be doing any training like that." Bulma replied smugly as Vegeta clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Where is Kakarot?!" He yelled impatiently.
"Calm down, Vegeta! She-" Bulma began as something appeared next to Vegeta in a flash, making him jump.
"Morning, Vegeta! I'm ready!" Goku exclaimed cheerfully from right next to him as she began some stretching and lunges. Vegeta groaned and rolled his head back after seeing the perky attitude of the Saiyan next to him. And she was wearing that eyesore of an orange gi. Vegeta was certain that he wouldn't need to see that again for a long time once Goku became a woman. Who would make one of those to fit a woman's body? Vegeta sneered distastefully at the garb before returning his attention to the video screen, where Bulma's mother was pushing Bulma aside as if she had something urgent to tell the Saiyans.
"Have fun! And don't forget! Lunch will be ready at noon!" The ditzy blond exclaimed cheerfully with a wave.
"Mom. Goku and Vegeta do not need to be reminded about lunch time." Bulma said pointedly as she pushed her mother aside, fuming at the woman for interrupting her.
"Oh! Isn't that funny, just like the other Goku!" Mrs. Briefs giggled from the background as Bulma opened her mouth to speak to Vegeta again. Before another word was mentioned, Vegeta cut the video off and returned to setting the gravity controls, now that the damn machine was going to cooperate.
As the programming initiated, a group of spherical metallic machines flew out from hidden compartments in the wall, and Goku jumped around and yelped in surprise as she watched the rapidly moving devices zoom into place around her. Vegeta snickered when one bumped Goku in the butt and she yelped even louder as she jumped away from the stimulation and clasped both hands protectively over her rear.
"Vegeta! Wha-what are these things?!" Goku asked in alarm as she resumed dodging the last few that flew into place. Vegeta had easily avoided any collisions with the bots, being conditioned to this type of training. He studied Goku calculatedly and, as an idea occurred to him, decided having her here today might not be so bad.
"Dr. Briefs developed these bots to assist with my training. In addition to the gravity simulation, they simulate attacks from an enemy." Vegeta explained, his head held high and back turned to Goku as he spoke proudly of his training equipment. When no reply was uttered from his usually-talkative counterpart, Vegeta turned to face her suspiciously. He gaped for a moment at the sight of her curiously inspecting and poking at one of the bots, then growled with annoyance at her lack of attention. "Kakarot! Pay attention!" Vegeta scolded. Goku cocked her head one last time at the bot before finally giving Vegeta her full attention with a bright smile.
"So these things are going to attack us?" She asked excitedly as she stepped up to Vegeta.
"No." Vegeta answered shortly as he pushed some buttons on the controls. "They're going to attack you. So am I." Vegeta answered with a wicked smirk as Goku stared back, perplexed. The bots lit up and Vegeta powered up to ascended Super Saiyan, Goku quickly doing the same with a wary expression on her face.
Outside the gravity chamber, Dr. and Mrs. Briefs were walking arm in arm when a series of violent explosions sounded off and the gravity chamber beside them shook violently. The older couple jumped back and gasped at the surprising level of violence taking place inside the chamber. Dr. Briefs' little black cat yowled and crawled down his back fearfully.
"They're going to destroy all of that equipment!" Dr. Briefs exclaimed in astonishment. They stared for a while as the activity continued. Suddenly, the noises ceased, and the chamber was still. Dr. Briefs and Mrs. Briefs exchanged a questioning glance. Dr. Briefs simply shrugged as they resumed their walk, glancing one last time over his shoulder as they walked away.
"Kakarot! It's lunch time." Vegeta exclaimed, his arms crossed as he kicked her gently in another attempt at rousing the woman back to consciousness. That final attempt worked, as Goku's eyes shot open upon hearing the word 'lunch'. She sat up slowly, rubbing the back of her aching head as she scowled at Vegeta.
"You were supposed to train with me today, Vegeta." Goku scolded as she rested on one elbow and glared at the sweaty man who stood with a towel draped around his neck.
"I was supposed to share the gravity room with you, Kakarot. Nobody said anything about training." Vegeta answered, smiling slyly as he tossed the other Saiyan a senzu bean. Goku caught the bean and ate it, slowly standing as Vegeta approached the doorway to the gravity chamber. Vegeta startled just before reaching the door when he felt the crushing sensation of increased gravity. He turned with a frown to see Goku at the controls, glaring at him challengingly.
"Let's see if you can knock me out again, without the help of those bots this time." Goku challenged, her tone implying that Vegeta had no chance of pulling that off. Vegeta scoffed in disbelief, his mouth agape as he watched his opponent carefully. Vegeta chuckled to himself. She couldn't possibly want to skip lunch.
"What's so funny?" Goku queried as she cocked an eyebrow at him.
"A tough decision for us Saiyans." Vegeta commented as he crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at Goku competitively, a small smile playing on his face. "Food or fight." Goku chuckled huskily as she inclined her head towards the sack of beans tucked in Vegeta's armor.
"Don't you know, Vegeta?" She asked with a smirk. "Senzu beans are very filling. Have one." Goku added insistently as she assumed a fighting stance. Vegeta raised his eyebrows in surprise as he absently clutched the small bag of senzu. He stared at the bag thoughtfully for a moment, then smirked as he popped one in his mouth. He sighed in satisfaction as the bean went down and assumed a stance to mirror Goku's.
"We can skip lunch."
A few minutes into the riveting fight, the video screen lowered and Bulma shouted through the machine to the two fighting Saiyans. She growled furiously after they continued ignoring her, and Trunks jumped in front of her, yelling excitedly as he observed the fight taking place inside the gravity chamber. He cheered for his father and commented to his mother about the fight. Vegeta refused to allow any of it to distract him; he was determined to knock out this woman. He would not let her get away with challenging him like that. Goku was equally absorbed in the fight, enjoying herself immensely as she countered every move Vegeta threw at her. She wondered why she didn't spar with Vegeta more often. This fight was possibly more fun than any she'd had before. Bulma finally gave up on getting their attention, as she had learned years ago that it is practically impossible to tear a Saiyan from a fight. She rolled her eyes as the video turned off, the screen retracting into the ceiling as the fight carried on without missing a beat.
Hours later, the video screen lowered again, revealing Bulma staring in open-mouthed disbelief at the scene playing out before her, which was remarkably similar to the scene she had seen earlier, except now the Saiyans were beaten and bloodied, their clothing a bit torn and ragged. Bulma squinted and looked closer as she noticed something, then gasped and began screaming for Goku's attention. The two Saiyans grimaced at the shrill sound, so she knew they could hear her, even though they were continuing to ignore her.
Now she was angry. She was putting her foot down. Bulma Briefs would not be ignored, not even by a couple of power hungry Saiyans. She grabbed a device from the counter, something she kept around for these occasions, because this happened often with Vegeta. She remotely turned off the gravity, enjoying the shocked expressions on their faces when they both were thrown out of balance by the sudden change in gravity and flew violently into the ceiling. Bulma smiled proudly as the Saiyans landed on the ground with a thud, looking towards her in disbelief. The fight was finally over.
"Why can I never fight Kakarot without someone interrupting us?!" Vegeta instantly complained to his wife as he shook a clenched fist towards the screen. Bulma scowled angrily at Vegeta before turning her attention to Goku. She gestured with her hands as if pulling a jacket closed over her chest, raising her eyebrows insistently as Goku looked back with a blank stare. Goku was baffled as she looked at Vegeta with a shrug before turning her attention back to figuring out what Bulma was trying to tell her. In the moment that Goku looked his way, she caught Vegeta's attention enough for him to catch one detail he had been completely overlooking while locked into the fight.
He was perfectly cognizant the whole time that he was fighting against Goku, but was not considering the fact that this was the new Goku, and the new Goku's body would not accommodate the usual damage that would be inflicted on her flimsy gi during a fight. How could he not have noticed? The last bit of shredded material tore, sliding down Goku's chest as she leaned forward to address Bulma. Vegeta clapped a hand over his eyes as his cheeks brightened and he grimaced uncomfortably under the gaze of his wife who looked on at the scene before her on video. Bulma growled with frustration.
"Cover yourself up, you dummy!" Bulma screamed at Goku, who dropped her mouth in shock at Bulma's outburst before looking down to inspect herself. Goku startled when she recognized her torn gi, the sensation of the exposure something she was so accustomed to that it did not even occur to her. One breast was completely exposed, the silky white skin beneath the fabric evident, and the material just barely hanging on one shoulder threatened to completely expose her at any moment. She looked to Vegeta to see him looking cautiously between two fingers of the hand covering his eyes, trying to look towards the video screen, though it was obvious that her appearance was very distracting to him. Goku's hands flew to her chest, clutching around herself as she blushed slightly and chuckled nervously at the odd situation. Bulma scoffed incredulously, shaking her head at the scene before her as she finally turned off the video, leaving the Saiyans to deal with the situation themselves. She couldn't babysit Goku forever. The girl would have to figure these things out for herself sooner or later, and Bulma was already at her limit with the Saiyans after their into-the-evening battle. Goku looked at Vegeta hesitantly as the video screen retracted into the ceiling again to see him frozen in his spot. After a few minutes of sitting there, unsure what to do with herself, Goku stood, keeping her arms in contact with her chest as she uncomfortably shifted side to side on her feet.
"Hey, Vegeta…" She said warily to the man who remained seated and blinded by his hand. "I'm…gonna go now. I'll see you back at the house." Goku said slowly as she walked to the door, stepping carefully over Vegeta. Vegeta sighed heavily before opening his mouth to speak.
"Kakarot." Vegeta said just before Goku reached the door, turning his head away from her.
"Hm?" Goku asked absently as she debated how she'd get into her bedroom without any problems looking the way she did.
"Next time…you can borrow my armor. Just…don't wear that gi again." Vegeta said as he shuddered at the replayed image in his head of the rather beautiful, attractive breasts on his greatest opponent.
"Yeah." Goku agreed, a smile finally gracing her face as the tension was slightly eased by their minute interaction. "Hey, Vegeta?" Goku called as she hesitated by the doorway.
"What?" Vegeta asked bluntly, getting tired of waiting for her to leave now. It was very uncomfortable having a conversation with someone you couldn't look at.
"That was a good fight today." Goku said, smiling as she slipped through the door and sped into the house. Vegeta nodded in agreement. It was a very good fight.
