Hey guys, Liz here. A while back, someone suggested doing a story about Daichi doing a comedy routine in front of Trunks, Goten, and Chibi and I thought it was such a great idea that I decided to do a chapter for it. So let's check in on our resident clown, shall we?

Also, not sure if I should put this up as a warning or not since I don't want to offend anyone, but there will be some jokes involving Champa and his weight, so be warned. I am not trying to fat-shame or anything. I just think that this might fit along with the situation Daichi finds himself in. If I offend you in any way, I apologize in advance. That was never my intention. Anyway, on with the show!

Daichi's Audience

Age 780

Daichi had finally completed his training with King Kai in less time than the Kai of the North expected him to take. Most students that came to him for comedy training usually took at the very least a decade to complete his training. However, Daichi seemed to be a quick learner like his Father and he flew through the lessons with flying colors. It was especially impressive considering the young man was only 14. And he was from Earth no less. Not bad at all. He mastered comedy that took King Kai nearly a century to learn.

"Not bad, Daichi," King Kai told the young man after he finished up showing off all the optimal uses for pie-throwing. "You're a quick learner just like your Father. You should feel very proud of yourself."

"Thank you, King Kai," Daichi thanked with a bow to his sensei. He couldn't believe the opportunity he had been given by training with King Kai. Daichi owed his dad big-time for sacrificing his training spot so he could get the one-on-one comedy teaching. "You've really helped me to improve myself."

"Yes, well, when you train with the greatest comedian in the universe, you're bound to show massive improvements," King Kai slightly boasted, puffing out his chest a bit. "However, you must now face your final test, which is sure to push you to your limits."

Daichi smirked. He felt confident in himself. His hard work was sure to finally pay off. He was prepared for whatever this final test would be. "I'm ready, sir. Whatever it is, I'll do it."

"All right, but don't say I didn't warn you." A slight glint bounced off of King Kai's glasses as he pushed them back onto his face. This was meant to be serious. "In order to be considered a master of comedy- not on the same level as me but just as prominent- you must perform a comedy routine in front of others."

"I can do that. That sounds easy."

"So you say, but know that this will be your most difficult challenge yet." The major emphasis that King Kai was putting into this was intense. He didn't want Daichi to overestimate himself to the point where he couldn't see the challenges that would come. "And don't think you can just tell any old jokes; they have to be the best ones you've got. You have to be able to read your audience in order to find the perfect jokes that'll land."

"I understand. How big does the audience have to be?"

"I'd say about three people at the least. And they can't be me, Bubbles, or Gregory. You'll have to find your own audience on Earth. Just know I'll be watching you when you decide to perform your routine."

Mulling this over for a minute, Daichi already thought of the perfect people to test out his comedy on; Goten, Trunks, and Chibi. Goten always laughed at Daichi's jokes so if he didn't laugh, then that would be a good indicator that his jokes aren't landing. Trunks was a bit of a middle-range laugher, so Daichi figured making Trunks laugh would mean he hits an average audience. Then, with Chibiko, Daichi figured that making her laugh would mean he hit the peak of his capabilities seeing as she never laughed, ever! Only once had the young teen made Chibi laugh and that's when he fell and hit his head against a rock when he was learning how to fly. (And Daichi wasn't looking to do slapstick humor anytime soon. That stuff hurt). "I think I got a group in mind."

"Good." With that said, King Kai placed a hand on Daichi's shoulder. "Daichi, my boy, these past few months have been a pleasure to watch you grow into your comedic potential. And I'm not just saying this because you've made sure Goku hasn't used my planet for his training. I truly believe you have come far in learning my comedic techniques. You are ready to go out on your own."

"Thank you, King Kai," Daichi smiled and bowed to his teacher. He was glad that he had done his training well. "How can I ever repay you for all you've taught me?"

"Well, you could get the dragon balls and bring me, Bubbles and Gregory back to life."

Daichi laughed at the request, thinking it was another one of King Kai's jokes. Only when he noticed the serious expression on the Kai's face did he realize that this was no joke. Talk about awkward.

A few days later

"So why are we doing this again?"

"I guess this is part of Daichi's dumb test where he sees if he's a "comedic genius" or something."

"Oh, come on, Chibi, I'm sure this'll be fun."

"Whatever you say, Goten."

Trunks, Chibi, and Goten all sat out on the lawn of Capsule Corp waiting for Daichi to come out on the stage from Bulma's birthday and tell some jokes. (Bulma brought the stage out for Daichi after he asked if he could borrow it for a bit). The three kids sat and chatted amongst themselves as Daichi poked his head through the curtains to look out at his audience. Sweat was visible on his forehead as he was starting to rethink this whole thing. He paced back and forth a bit as he debated calling it all off.

Maybe I need to push it back for a few more days, Daichi thought to himself. I mean, if I screw this up, I'll never hear the end of it! I'll be a laughing stock- and not the good kind! Plus, King Kai is definitely watching all this.

As he paced back and forth, Daichi poked his head through the curtains and nearly doubled over in shock at who he saw sitting on a lawn chair near Chibi, Trunks, and Goten; it was Beerus and Whis!

What are they doing here?! Daichi shouted in his head. I mean, the answer was obvious; they came to bug Bulma for food again. Why else would they be there? Daichi gulped as he drew his head back behind the curtains, hoping the god of destruction and the angel of universe 7 wouldn't notice him doing so.

"So let me get this straight," Beerus said after finishing up a slice of pizza. "The kid behind the curtains is going to do some stupid comedy thing for a test by the Kai of the North?"

"That's right," Goten answered with a smile. "Daichi's been working hard for the past few months with King Kai and his final test is to perform in front of an audience."

The god of destruction rolled his eyes. He only came outside so he could get away from Bulma and her constant squawking. Now he was going to have to sit here and listen to some kid pretend to be funny? (He was too lazy to get out of his seat).

"This sounds like it will be a bit amusing," Whis remarked. He wasn't one who actively sought out comedy, but he didn't mind a little bit of humor every now and again. Anything to break away from the mundane of hundreds of years of destruction and dealing with Beerus' tantrums.

"Well where the heck is this "comedian"?" Beerus questioned, growing a bit annoyed. You know, for someone who didn't care for comedy, he sure wanted to see it.

"I can go check really quick if you'd like, my lord," Whis volunteered. He honestly wanted a break from hearing Beerus complain about something else.

"Fine, whatever," Beerus stated, trying to seem like he didn't care what Whis did.

Getting up from his seat, Whis made his way to the back of the stage and noticed Daichi frantically looking through some note cards he had in his back pocket. The young boy looked like sweat was running down his back as his eyes quickly darted across the little sheets of paper in his hands. He was starting to have even more doubts now that Beerus had decided to sit in on his test. "I'm so screwed!" Daichi said to himself.

Just as he was about to begin pacing back and forth again, he suddenly noticed Whis standing there watching him and yelped in surprise, throwing his note cards into the air.

"Whis!" He squeaked upon seeing the angel for his universe. Realizing how much of a fool he probably appeared to be right now, Daichi tried to play it all off like nothing was wrong and quickly composed himself. "So, what's up?"

"Oh, just checking in to see what's taking you," Whis nonchalantly answered. "Lord Beerus is getting restless you know."

Daichi let out a bit of nervous laughter upon hearing this. He was pretty sure that if Beerus was getting restless, that could only mean trouble. He remembered the smack down he was given by Beerus the first time he and Whis showed up to Earth, and he was also well-aware that the god of destruction wouldn't hesitate to destroy him if he felt the least bit slighted. Great; even more pressure was being thrown on top of him. "W-Well, I'll be out soon, so Lord Beerus won't have to wait much longer."

"That's good to hear. Then I guess I will see you out on stage soon."

"You bet!" I'm doomed!

"All right then."

Once Daichi was sure Whis was gone, he debated booking it to Mt. Paozu right then and there. Maybe, if he was quick enough, he could reach his Dad before Beerus could catch him and lay his wrath upon him. Before he started doing the calculations in his head though, Daichi stopped himself and took in a few deep breaths. He had such confidence earlier when discussing all this with King Kai, so why was he letting himself crumble just because two extra guests were now in his audience? All that meant was that he'd have to bring his A-game. If he could deal with a life-or-death battle with Majin Buu, he could easily go out and crack a few jokes. He wiped the fear from his face before grabbing the microphone that was sitting on the table in the back and went out on stage.

"Sorry for the wait, folks," Daichi stated as he came out on stage. "I just had to fly here all the way from Mt. Paozu and boy are my arms tired."

Only Goten slightly chuckled at the little joke. The rest just stared at him.

"Man, tough crowd," Daichi coughed. "I haven't gotten this much judgement since Mom talked to my math tutor."

This earned a bit more laughter from Goten and even a small chortle from Trunks. Not a bad start.

"So the other day I went to the zoo with my little brother, Goten, my Dad, Vegeta, and Trunks," Daichi stated and started doing slight walks across the stage to calm his nerves a bit. "As we stand in line to buy our tickets, a kid who was in front of us turns around and looks at my Dad. He gasps and turns to his mom and says, Mommy, mommy, that man has a porcupine on his head!"

Goten gave Daichi the same amount of laughter as before while Trunks actually laughed a bit more in comparison to before. Chibi, Beerus, and Whis remained stoic though.

"Anyway, we walk over to this place called Monkey island, right? Well, when we get there, there's this huge enclosure with this big silver-back gorilla in it. It just walks around and glares at all the smaller gorillas there. The craziest thing it does is it runs up to the glass and scares these little kids away by baring its teeth and beating its chest. Well, Vegeta leans over to my Dad and says to him, If that thing had a tail and spikier hair, I'd swear that it was my father." He even did a Vegeta impression to boot and it was pretty spot on.

Goten seemed like he was dying from laughter while Trunks was definitely finding enjoyment from this. Heck, even Chibi cracked a smile. Still nothing from Beerus and Whis.

"Well, Dad just gives Vegeta a bit of a puzzled look," Daichi continues. "Then he looks over to this sign that explains more about these gorillas. This big ol' sign reads right at the top Silver-Back Gorillas: Kings of the Jungle but right underneath the sign it said Quick To Anger. Dad then turns back to Vegeta and says, Oh, I can see the resemblance now. Now this was a big shock to me because never did I think my Dad could read."

Now Goten and Trunks were both on the ground laughing with Chibi letting out a few small chuckles. Daichi knew he was doing something right at least with his initial audience. Now if only he could get something from Beerus and Whis. He thought for a moment on what to do in regards to the lack of laughter from the two deities when he remembered some advice King Kai gave him; "You have to be able to read your audience in order to find the perfect jokes that'll land."

Of course; that's it! It's a bit of a gamble, but I gotta go for it. "So, the other day I was thinking about that small tournament we had with Universe 6. It was all fine and dandy- super glad we won by the way- but as the matches dragged on I thought to myself, Man I could go for a snack right now. I was just getting hungry watching everyone fight. But there was no food there. Then I looked over to Lord Champa and from the moment I saw him, I realized why there's not a universal buffet anymore."

Beerus snickered a bit while Whis cracked a small smile. The kids were laughing a bit too- well, Chibi was slightly chuckling.

Bingo! Hit the nail right on the head. "I mean, don't get me wrong; I wouldn't cross up with Lord Champa in the ring, but I'd fear him more if I tried cutting him in line at the nearest fast food joint."

At this point, Beerus was legit laughing along with the kids. Whis seemed content with just smiling and giving off a small little chuckle here and there.

"Honestly, if you ask me, Champa should rename himself to Chomper. Now that sounds like a god of destruction name right there. Aaahhh look out! Lord Chomper is coming to devour us all! I bet you if food could talk, it would scream."

This little set of jokes went on for a few more minutes until Beerus was on the ground laughing until tears came out of his eyes. That solidified it for Daichi that he had mastered his art.

Once the show was over, Beerus and Whis left so that Beerus could catch his breath after hearing such great jokes about his brother. Goten and Trunks were all up on Daichi telling him how funny he was.

"That was pretty good, Daichi," Goten complimented his older brother.

"Yeah, it wasn't half bad," Trunks stated. "Maybe mom will let you be the entertainment at her next birthday party or something."

"Thanks, but I don't think I could ever top your Dad and his bingo dance. Has he thought about adding backup dancers next time?" Daichi joked, earning a laugh from the boys and a chuckle from Chibi.

What Daichi didn't know was that Vegeta was coming outside at that exact moment to look for Trunks and tell him and his two siblings to scram so Trunks could clean his room like he was supposed to the other day. With this lack of knowledge, Daichi continued with his mockery of Vegeta;

"I mean, I could totally see Vegeta being a dance instructor or something. He would just go up to every student who's not getting the routine and being like You either get it over 9000 or get out of my sight!"

The kids laughed but stopped when they saw Vegeta coming over. Daichi didn't get the hint though.

"Honestly though, he could be one of those snobby judges for talent shows too. I mean, most of them act like stuck up royalty anyway, and he is a prince after all."

The trio tried to get Daichi to stop as Vegeta came to loom over Daichi but he continued to dig his own grave.

"What? You know I'm just Saiyan what's on our minds, guys." Only then did Daichi notice the overwhelming negative energy behind him and he gulped. "Vegeta's right behind me, isn't he?"

"Uh huh," Trunks answered with a nod.

"And he's burning holes in the back of my head, isn't he?"

"Big time," Chibi stated.

Daichi slowly turned to see his Father's rival right behind him with a deep scowl on his face. He was also gritting his teeth so he was showing restraint at least. "H-Hey Vegeta," Daichi stuttered out a greeting. "…So, how's life going?"

"You've got five seconds to get out of my sight, boy," Vegeta growled out his threat, cracking his knuckles to emphasis the seriousness of the threat.

Taking the hint this time, Daichi booked it into the air and raced back to Mt. Paozu as quickly as he possibly could.

And that's it! I know some of my jokes I wrote down probably didn't land too well. Honestly, some of them sounded better in my head before I read them aloud. Still, I think it came out okay. Plus, I wanted to do something light-hearted in comparison to the past few chapters that were full of angst and feels, so yeah.

Anyway, what do you guys think? Let me know in the reviews. Hopefully I can get more one-shots out before I start school in a few weeks. Have a good day and remember to wash your hands!
