Chapter 4: Performance

Android 18 stood there, staring in confusion and disbelief as she watched Vegeta fiddle with the outfit he was preparing. Truth be told, she didn't even know why she was here this evening. Krillin has a police union meeting to attend, so she was just here because she had nothing else to do, she supposed.

18 cocked her head. "The 'thing you're good at' is...dance karaoke?!"

Vegeta scowled, correcting her. "Performative karaoke! It's not a mere silly dance! It's an artform! A respectable artform!"

18 was non-plussed. She cocked her head again, watching as Vegeta cleaned the two outfits in front of him. "And...you do this enough that they have a dressing room here with your name on it...?"

Vegeta nodded. "Of course!"

18 had heard of this place before: The High Dine. It was a trendy restaurant that had popped up during her time under Gero's thumb. She could hear the party atmosphere going on in the dining room outside. "And you and Bulma are going to buy me dinner, right...?"

Vegeta nodded. "Yes. After our performance. We-"

BOOGIE BACK~

Instantly, Vegeta picked up his phone and answered. "Where the hell are you, Bulma?!"

Vegeta grimaced. "A-A meeting?! But what about..."

His face became red. "Dammit, woman! We've been planning this for months! To hell with the stockholders!"

18 watched as the argument went back and forth. She watched as Vegeta's face went from pure anger to a mixture of anger and annoyance. She almost wanted to laugh...but then she saw that anger and annoyance shift to annoyance and disappointment. Vegeta's shoulders sagged. "Fine...next time...I guess..."

The Prince hung up his phone and sighed. And, in her chest, 18 felt the weirdest feeling well up: pity. She didn't know why, because it made no sense, but she actually felt a twang of pity for Vegeta of all people. She looked to the two outfits that he had prepared, matching trendy suits: a black suit with an orange shirt and a blue suit with a red shirt.

18 thought it over in her head. She didn't mind the thought of singing karaoke...and it wouldn't kill her to indulge this guy just this once. After all, he had invited her and offered her dinner. 18 sighed, and then she marched up and placed her hand on the blue-and-red trendy suit. "...what are we singing?"

Vegeta flinched, but then a smile spread on his face. His normal smug grin, but a smile nonetheless. "So, you want to sing with the Great Vegeta~?"

18 scowled. "Don't push it."

A few minutes later, the stage was alive. The crowd was watching on and cheering at the top of their lungs as these two performers, Vegeta and 18, sang their hearts out on stage,

VEGETA: WOW, BREAKIN' THE LAW
BREAKIN' THE WORLD kowase
