It Can Never Be The Same
Kakarot and Vegeta dreaded going back to school.
"I can just see it," Vegeta said.
"We'll be even worse freaks than we were," Kakarot said.
"Don't worry about it," Chichi said. "No one can hurt you after the stunt you pulled two days ago. You're Super Saiyans, for God's sakes!"
"No, we're not," Kakarot said.
"What do you mean?"
"That was a freak accident. We can't keep it up permanently."
"Oh. Well, anyway, you don't have your ki collars."
"For added confidence," Vegeta muttered, sounding like a TV commercial.
"You guys ready?" Launch called from the kitchen.
"Yeah!" Krillin called back from where he was standing with the others.
Launch skipped out of the kitchen and handed everyone his or her lunch capsules. "Bulma and Yamcha said they'd meet us outside the school, so let's not separate, okay?"
"Wouldn't want to, anyway," Kakarot said.
"Hey, guys!" Bulma called, waving her arm from where she was standing with Yamcha, and who was probably his twin sister, Mai.
"Hey!" The five Kame House kids made their way towards the three.
"Did you hear about the new teacher?" Bulma asked.
"What about him?" Chichi asked.
"HER name is Ms. La. And they say she's just as bad as Mr. Cuff was. She HATES Saiyans."
"Jesus," Vegeta growled. "We can't go anywhere without running into some trigger-happy Saiyan-hater."
"Oh, Vegeta, it's not that bad. Ms. La is a coward. She'll only berate you with insults. She can't even use the whip."
"How do you know all this?"
"She's a partner with my father. I spy on her every day."
BRING!!!!!
"OH MY GOD, THE BELL!!!!!" The eight tore off to their classes.
"You're late," Ms. La said witheringly as the five Kame House students walked in. "What were you doing?"
"Nothing," Kakarot said.
"I believe that. Worthless Saiyan good-for-nothings. Get to your seats."
Chichi, Krillin, and Launch went to their seats. Kakarot and Vegeta, better prepared now with paper and pencils, took to levitating in the air once again.
A horrid screeching noise blared over the intercom, and the principal's voice washed over the school. "Excuse the interruption. This is Principal Pilaf speaking. We have not ignored the outbreak of violence yesterday, and are doing everything in our power to prevent such further spats." The intercom earned a glare from Kakarot. "But certain people seem to be supporting the outbreak. This song was released just today by a Saiyan who goes by the code name Toby Keith, and this school received the first copy. Please listen and know that this does not hold any true threat or meaning." There was a shuffling noise, a faint click, and a song bellowed through the intercom:
My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
'Till they day that he died
He wanted my mother
My brother
My sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free
Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flying in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like fireworks in the sky
The Super Saiyans put Earth's name
At the top of their lists
And God, the Lord of Liberty
Started shaking His fist
And the fighters will fly
And there's gonna be Hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringing her bell
And it'll feel like the universe
Is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you courtesy
Of the Red, Green, and Blue
Oh, justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
Vegetasei…
'Cause we'll put a boot in your Bleep
It's the Saiya-jin way
The Super Saiyans put Earth's name
At the top of their lists
And God, the Lord of Liberty
Started shaking His fist
And the fighters will fly
And there's gonna be Hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringing her bell
And it'll feel like the universe
Is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you courtesy
Of the Red, Green, and Blue
Of my Red, Green, and Blue!
"ALL RIGHT!" Kakarot crowed.
"The Saiyans will rise once again!" Vegeta shouted.
"This is awesome!" Krillin yelled.
"Go, Toby Keith!" Launch squealed.
"Kakarot, this is great!" Chichi exclaimed. Caught up in the excitement, Kakarot scooped her from the floor and hugged her.
"All right, all right, settle down!" Ms. La snapped. "Sit down and shut up! Mr. Pilaf is still talking!"
"…We advise students to not be alarmed. The likelihood of a slave uprising is slim."
"That's what YOU think!" Vegeta shouted at the intercom.
"…Please go on with your regular school day. Thank you." There was a loud click, and the announcement ended.
The lunch bell rang, and the class stampeded outside.
Bulma and Yamcha met up with their Kame House comrades at the double doors. "THAT was an awesome song," Bulma said. "I'd like to see people mess with you now."
"Just wait until we're strong enough to beat the brains of the outfit!" Kakarot said proudly.
"Who's that?" Yamcha asked.
"Frieza," Vegeta said. "Slime bucket. An entire race enslaved by a kitchen appliance."
The rest of them giggled at that. Vegeta seized the opportunity to poke fun at Frieza. Quick as a flash, he reached into a bush and pulled out a rabbit that had been burrowing there.
"Oh, Vegeta, don't kill it!" Chichi cried.
"Vegeta finds it a waste of time to kill things weaker than him," Kakarot said. "That's something Frieza would do."
"No, Frieza would do this." Vegeta squinted one eye shut, got the rabbit in the proper position, began to mock stroke it, and make a terrible evil-commander impression. "This is non-negotiable, isn't that right, Commander Bun-Bun?"
The others started to laugh, and Vegeta kept going. "My terms are simple. I want 50% of the profit. But my next term cannot be argued with. I want…ANOTHER BUNNY!"
The others were fairly rolling on the ground laughing. Even Vegeta couldn't resist bursting into gales of mirth. He was almost wiping tears from his eyes before Bulma managed to take a few deep breaths to calm herself, having the same effect on everyone. A snicker or two was heard as they headed towards their table.
The same peers who had made fun of Vegeta and Kakarot just two days ago now cleared the way, dipping their heads respectively. Some of them looked ready to pass out with fright.
Vegeta scoffed. "Stupid weak humans. They bully those at a disadvantage, but they kiss the ground when their victims become stronger."
"That's what bullies are," Chichi said. "Stupid and empty."
The rest of them nodded in agreement as they sat down.
"Oh, I nearly forgot!" Kakarot exclaimed. He started digging in his pocket for something. "Chichi, I know your birthday isn't for another 5 days, but I wanted to give this to you now." He took her hand, spread out her palm, and put something gold and shiny on it. A bracelet. "I found it yesterday on the beach by that sea cave, and I wanted to give it to you for your birthday. So…Otanjobi omedeto gozaimasu [A Very Happy Birthday]."
"Oh, Kakarot, it's beautiful!" Chichi slipped it over her wrist and admired how shiny it was. "I'll never take it off!" She leaned over the table and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Kakarot kind of wobbled, before falling over backwards and passing out.
"Oh my God, is he okay?" Chichi gasped.
"He's fine," Vegeta said. "It's a Saiyan thing. The baka [Fool] is a victim of Saiya-jin ai [Saiyan Love]."
"What's that mean?" Bulma asked.
"Wait five or six years and you'll see," Vegeta said, and snickered.
Ah, young love!
