Twenty-first returning Jump Girl for Month of Pink; Cocotte from Dragon Ball.

-:-

There was a reason they were known as the Pride Troopers. They took pride in their abilities; both in protecting the weak and in their fighting strength. This was why the dark pink-haired member of the Pride Troopers trained hard and made her way over to Earth of Universe Seven for the rematch she so desired.

"Not going to happen."

Or at least she thought she'd get one if the blonde bimbo, er, Eighteen hadn't refused.

"Wh-What? Why not?!" demanded Cocotte, glaring at her rival.

"I have better things to do and unlike Goku, fighting is not a hobby of mine," replied Eighteen with a roll of her eyes.

"I refuse to accept that! I demand that you give me a rematch so I can restore my honor after that embarrassing loss you gave me!" exclaimed Cocotte, crossing her arms under her breasts.

That was when a young voice spoke up, catching Cocotte's attention.

"Did you really win against the pretty lady, Mommy?"

Looking down at Eighteen's feet, Cocotte found a small, blonde child, happily looking up at Eighteen.

The cyborg had a gentle smile on her face as she lifted the child into her arms. "Yes I did, Marron, and as you can see she's a sore loser."

Cocotte clenched her teeth in anger as she glared at Eighteen, who in turn gave her a taunting smirk.

"But sore losers are bad," replied Marron, tilting her head slightly.

"Yes they are and I don't want you anywhere near them," stated the mother as she turned and started to walk away.

This caused Cocotte to bristle and give chase. "H-Hey! I still want that rematch!"

But Eighteen just rolled her eyes again. "And I already told you I have better things to do. Right now I need to pick up some groceries for my family."

"And cookies!" squeaked out Marron with a giggle.

"After dinner, Marron."

Still not wanting to lose her chance at a rematch with her rival, Cocotte decided to swallow her pride and beg.

"W-Wait! Wh-What if I help you with your chores? Will you give me my rematch then?"

She watched as Eighteen gave her a side-glance. "You're really willing to do my errands just for a rematch.

Starting to sweat a little, Cocotte hesitantly nodded. "Y-Yes."

It took a few seconds before Eighteen gave off a shrug. "Whatever, but I'm not making promises."

Cocotte could only take that as an agreement as she hurried to Eighteen's side and followed her on her errand run. All the while she had to listen to the child babble on about this and that.

The things she does for her pride.

Eighteen's probably the best girl in all of DB. Others would include Kale, Chi-Chi, Vados, and Helles.
