She was napping, as she tended to do at random increments of the day. She couldn't help it. When not at work, eating, watching anime, training or playing games, she sleeps.
A sharp ringing woke her up. She looked over to see her phone buzzing away.
"Hellerm." There were clear signs of tiredness in her voice.
"Are you sleeping? Nyx my birthday party is today and you are supposed to be here. The big cruise ship is waiting!" Bulma was shrieking into the phone, instantly sobering Nyx up.
"Oh shit. Bulma I'm so sorry. I had forgotten to set an alarm. I can be there in 10 minutes tops." Nyx was grimacing.
"You better. I need you here!" Bulma hung up.
Nyx found her favorite pair of jeans, a relatively unwrinkled dress shirt and threw them on at record times.
"I'll be back in a little while Coco. Do you want me to bring fish?" Nyx screamed into the kitchen.
"No, she's fine here. Be careful." Before Coco could finish, Nyx was out the door.
She could see the ship from her small house, it was a 5-minute sprint or 10-minute walk. She chose to sprint so Bulma wouldn't be even more angry at her.
She got plenty of weird looks, but she didn't notice as she ran by. Soon enough she was at the ship and the guards stopped her.
"This is a private party, only those who are friends of Mrs. Bulma are allowed." The guard looked irritated.
"I am a friend. Just a bit late. Go ask her." She clenched her fists.
"Let her in. She is my friend. Even if she looks a bit... lackluster. Nyx I'm still peeved."
Nyx brushed her hair back. "Understandable really. I'm so sorry."
Nyx walked toward Bulma and hugged her. "I missed you so much, hun." Bulma smiled.
"How can I be mad with that damned country accent. Come on girl." Bulma walked Nyx up the ramp onto the ship.
She knew everyone there from previous parties. The Nameks, Piccolo and Dende, were talking by themselves. 18 and Krillin were chatting about the bingo prizes. Gohan, Videl, Mr. Satan, and Buu were all by each other. But neither of the Saiyan men were here.
"I see that look. Goku and my dear husband couldn't make it due to their training that is so much more important than me." Bulma said sarcastically.
"Dude that sucks. Like no joke, as much as I love training, I love my friends more." Nyx looked at Bulma with determination. "We don't need them to have fun though. We can celebrate with just us. Right?" Bulma smiled at that.
"You're amazing Nyx." She looked away. "I have to handle the bingo prizes, but have fun. I know how much you love food, so eat to your heart's content." She walked off.
Nyx looked around and saw so many foods, so many chefs, so many smells.
"What to choose. What to choose." Nyx mumbles. Looking around, she finally settles on the sushi.
Nyx fast walks over, barely containing her excitement. When she sits, she already knows what she wants.
"Sampler platter, please. One of everything! No, make that two of everything." Nyx smiled at the chef and watched him cook. Nyx could eat almost anything. And it showed. As much as she trains, she still had a little extra chub to her. But shes also tall, so she makes it work. Her thighs are what makes most of her up though.
Bulma started to fuss as Vegeta showed up to the party. Nyx turned to see what was going on, but quickly realized and became once again fixated on the chef making her sushi. Behind her, Vegeta walked off and Bulma was still fuming.
Nyx felt bad for Bulma, her own husband was late to her party that she spent so long planning. Still, her sushi took priority in her mind. It was finally ready and Nyx was more than ready to eat.
Bulma yelled to get everyone's attention soon though, distracting her from the meal in front of her. She turned around with her mouth full of sushi.
"Everybody listen up! Allow me to introduce Vegeta's friends, Beerus and Whis!" Bulma gestured to the odd purple cat creature in a weird outfit and the tall blue man in colorful yet similar robes.
The two newcomers were welcomed with applause and began to walk around meeting everyone, but their eyes never seemed to leave Nyx. She had resumed eating her sushi when Krillin came out with a plate of food.
"Who's hungry?" He raised the plate. "It's a party special!"
The smell reached Nyx and she instantly stood up and walked over.
"I'll have some." She said bravely, sushi still in her mouth.
"Ok but beware, there is wasabi in the middle of one of the balls. It's like Russian Roulette, but with food!" Krillin eyed her for a second seeing her confidence. "Here ya go."
Everyone was watching her as she finished her sushi and chewed the ball.
"Mmmhmm." She swallowed and tears formed in her eyes. "Yea I got the freaking wasabi first try. That's just my luck." She walked back to her sushi sampler. "That shit blows." she mumbled tongue on fire. Whis and Beerus was watching her intently.
"Shes a curious character, isn't she sir. Odd energy and personality." Whis said to his lord.
"Yes, she is rather different from the rest of the earthlings here." Beerus looked back at the others. "Perhaps she is what I seek on this planet. Her Ki certainly feels much stronger than the rest but also much different. It's almost as if she has two kinds."
Nyx returned to her sushi, hoping it will calm her taste buds. Not even two pieces in, she hears a voice over her shoulder.
"That meal looks rather exquisite. What is it called?" She looked over her shoulder to see the tall blue man, Whis standing there. He had a small smile on his face and was focused on her food.
"It's sushi. Its made of fish, rice, and tons of different stuff. Wanna try it? This is a sampler platter. It has one of everything. Or well in my case, two." Nyx patted the chair next to her. "Come on. Try it."
Whis sat down and picked up a pair of chopsticks. He hesitated on which piece to pick up.
"Here try this one. It's my personal favorite." Nyx gestured to one of the rolls.
"Alright. Here goes." Whis picked up the roll and began to chew. His face instantly lit up. "This dish is simply divine! I've never had anything like it. Oh, I must try another." He looked at the chef. "Can you make three more of these platters, exactly the same as this one please?" The chef nodded and went to work. "Thank you so much for sharing this with me miss..." He trailed off. "What is your name? If you don't mind of course!"
Nyx smiled at him "I'm Reign Nix, but you can call me Nyx." She was about to eat another piece of her sushi when she heard a small commotion behind her.
"No! This Buu's pudding! Go find your own!" Buu was guarding his hoard of pudding against Beerus. Mr. Satan was trying to talk him into handing one over.
Beerus began to look a bit more than irritated. "I consider myself a rather flexible deity. I know you mortals have your limitations. But there is one thing I cannot tolerate. The callous arrogance of those who do not pay the respect a destroyer is due." Beerus began to get increasingly angry.
"Oh my. That pink man is about to feel my lord's anger. Why couldn't he just hand over a pudding?" Whis looked a bit worried.
Nyx ate her last sushi roll. "I know how much these people get into their fights. I don't care about Buu, I just don't want them to break the ship." Nyx stood up. "Hey not trying to be rude, but would you two mind taking that quarrel of yours to the sky. I'm still enjoying the food."
Beerus looked at her and back up to Buu.
"Very well." He smiled. "I would hate to make the woman angry." He began to fly up.
"Hey! Buu not done with you. Come here!" Buu flew up too.
"Good. Now to dessert." She walked over to another stand.
"She is certainly a rarity. Not 20 minutes and she's already managed to capture Lord Beerus's curiosity, and maybe even his fancy." Whis looked away from Nyx to Beerus. "I have a feeling that this won't be the last time we see her."
Nyx was eating a piece of cheesecake and watching Beerus fight, and quickly dispatch of, Buu. Soon Gotenks was fused and he made the mistake of calling Beerus's pudding tantrum stupid. Much like Buu, he was defeated. Piccolo, Tien, and 18 stepped up to the plate and tried to fight Beerus but to no avail. When they were all on the floor, Buu came back for more and Gohan jumped in the fight too. Soon everyone was down and Beerus was speaking about how he was disappointed in Vegeta. Nyx just sat back eating her cake and Whis was waiting for his sushi.
"You are just as weak as your father was Vegeta. How sad." Beerus glared down as Vegeta's limp figure.
