Hello, how are you all doing? It didn't take a year to write a new chapter! It's a miracle, everyone! Try out the lottery! I guarantee that you'll win!

Without any further ado, enjoy!

Consistency?! Nani?!

Bulma: "Hey, everyone, it's Bulma here! Liquiir introduced the show last time. This time it's me. I'm joined by the usual suspects, Lord Beerus and Liquiir, and welcome to Talks of Destruction." Bulma exhaled. "How was that? Was that good?"

Lord Liquiir: "It was perfect."

Bulma: "It was? Good. I can't believe that I got to introduce the show. I'm still surprised that in the last one I had a role outside of pushing buttons. I just assumed that I would always be the person on the computer in the background."

Lord Beerus: "I'm not sure why you assumed that in the first place," I said, arms crossed. "You've been in every show so far giving your inputs and answering questions. In the Halloween special you dressed up as me and threw a paper Hakai at me."

Bulma: "I know, but I was never advertised as being a third host. Hosts introduce shows. Although the summary does say 'Also starring: Bulma', so maybe I shouldn't have assumed."

Lord Beerus: "I believe the Earth adage goes something like this: 'Never assume because you make an ass out of you and me.'"

Lord Liquiir: "Speaking of asses, we're all very sorry it took us a year to answer your questions. Especially the author. With any luck, life will stop screwing him over and he can stop apologizing for the delays." I looked at Liquiir and smiled.

Lord Beerus: "Liquiir, what are you doing all the way over there? Get over here." He smiled and moved closer to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I wrapped my arm around his waist and kissed his cheek. He kissed mine.

Bulma: "I don't want to rush this because it's sweet, but are you two ready now?"

Lord Beerus: "So impatient. Yes, we're ready."

Lord Liquiir: "Actually, I'm not. Before we begin, we have to address one thing. To the guest who reviewed and disagreed when we said that the time travel made more sense than in DBZ, I believe you misunderstood us. We were talking about the time travel in DBS compared to the time travel in DBZ. We weren't talking about DBS making more sense than literally all of DBZ."

Lord Beerus: "That guest review. I forgot about it. Well, it's fine if you disagree with us, but the plot holes we mentioned don't only exist in our heads or are false. There are no official explanations to answer them and you can't use contextual clues to answer them either. The issues we brought up just don't make sense and that's why they are plot holes." Bulma grabbed an index card from the table and raised it in front of her face.

Bulma: "All right, it sounds like we're ready. Here is the first question and it is one of three which comes from The Unkindness. This is the second time we've seen you change your name. I wonder why you changed your name this time?"

Lord Beerus: "At this rate they'll have more names than Liquiir." She lowered the card to her lap.

Bulma: "What do you mean by that?"

Lord Beerus: "What I mean is that there are a lot of ways to spell Liquiir's name. The English dub, for example, spells his name as L-i-q-u-e-e-r."

Bulma: "And the author made him gay. That's a funny coincidence. Getting back on track, this question is for Lord Beerus: 'If you woke up during the Buu rampage remembering about Super Saiyan God and arrived to Earth just as the Majin Buu original form that killed 2 Supreme Kai and absorbed 2 of Supreme Kai, would destroy the Earth, would you have stepped in to destroy him?'"

Lord Beerus: "My prophetic dream told me that the Super Saiyan God would rival me in power and give me a good fight. If he wasn't strong enough to beat Buu, then that would have been enough to tell me that my dream was wrong and I probably wouldn't have bothered to stop him from destroying Earth. On the other hand, Whis would have told me that he meant to kill Shin and mindlessly wreck havoc across the rest of the universe. In the end, yes, I believe I would have stopped him from destroying the planet."

Bulma: "I know your relationship is strained with him, but I have to thank imaginary Whis in this scenario. When are you two going to patch things up?"

Lord Beerus: "When he stops being a dick. Read the next question."

Bulma: "Oh. Okay, then. Here it is, 'A question for Liqueur: Have you ever trought of tickling Beerus when he would try to skip his duty as a destroyer?' First off, I'd like to point out that they used another spelling of his name. Secondly, that's the second tickling related question you asked. No offense, but that's weird."

Lord Liquiir: "I agree, but I don't mind. As long as they don't ask anything crazy they can get as weird as they'd like."

Bulma: "I hope they don't take that to heart."

Lord Liquiir: "They probably will. So, the answer to your question is...maybe. I'll admit that it does sound fun." He's slowly extending his left arm toward my stomach. "In fact..."

Lord Beerus: "Don't even try it." He took his arm back and smiled cheekily.

Lord Liquiir: "Okay. Maybe some other time."

Lord Beerus: "I wouldn't bet on it."

Bulma: "You wouldn't bet on it and I wouldn't suggest tickling Lord Beerus every time he skips out on his duties as a God of Destruction. You would tickle him to death."

Lord Beerus: "A joke about me being lazy? I didn't see that coming. Maybe the next time you're in your lab you can invent a more creative joke. A joke that's actually funny."

Bulma: "I'll do that. And maybe the next time you walk by a pet shop you can lead a revolution to free all of your brothers and sisters." That got Liquiir to laugh. I turned my head.

Lord Beerus: "You'll laugh at her joke and not mine? Whose side are you on?"

Lord Liquiir: "I'm on both of your sides. I was laughing at the back and forth you two had. Why? Are you jealous?" he asked in a teasing voice.

Lord Beerus: "What do I have to be jealous of? I was just confused when I thought you laughed at her joke and not mine, but you cleared that up."

Lord Liquiir: "You weren't even a little jealous?" I sighed.

Lord Beerus: "Maybe I was a little bit." I looked over at Bulma. "Bulma, we'll continue this later."

Bulma: "'This' as in coming up with insults for each other?"

Lord Beerus: "Yes."

Bulma: "If that's what you want, but I'm letting you know ahead of time that I'll win."

Lord Beerus: "We'll see." She smiled.

Bulma: "I wish you were like this when you first came to Earth." She cleared her throat. "This is the last question from The Unkindness. It says, and it really does say this, 'To the adorable Bulma: Have you ever trought of hiring both Goku and Gohan to your company as Guardians of Earth?' I can't say that I have, although Goku and Gohan and everyone else are basically already the guardians of Earth. Maybe if Gohan gets a PhD in physics I'll hire him to help me out in the lab. I can always use a hand there."

Lord Beerus: "I want him to be a fighter. Keep him away from the lab."

Bulma: "Why can't he be both? If I wanted to, I could be like Tony Stark and make an Iron Woman suit. I'd be a fighter then and still be a scientist. I wonder why I haven't done anything like that in the franchise yet?"

Lord Liquiir: "I don't know. It would have been interesting to see you take a more active role like that. Then again, I guarantee that some people will scream 'Bad power scaling' or 'It makes no sense' if you do that now." Bulma looks disappointed.

Bulma: "I know...that's the popular thing to do these days. I'll never get a chance to do anything cool like Goku and you guys. Not that being a scientist isn't cool, but you know what I mean."

Lord Beerus: "Maybe someday. Maybe Super Dragon Ball Heroes will do something like that. They're doing every other crazy idea possible."

Bulma: "The funny thing is you're barely exaggerating. Since we're on the subject, watch Super Dragon Ball Heroes episode thirteen. That entire episode looks very good. I'm not kidding when I say the Super Saiyan Blue Goku vs Hearts portion is movie quality."

Lord Liquiir: "Naotoshi Shida. You have to love him."

Bulma: "You really do. He's great at what he does. Moving on, we have one last question to answer. This one is from DemonLucario: 'How do you think your life would have went if you never met Goku?' That's a good question. I'd be dead." Liquiir and I exchanged looks.

Lord Beerus: "That's a bleak conclusion."

Bulma: "I know, but it's accurate. If I never met Goku he would have never left the forest. Fast forward many years later, the Tournament of Power would never happen and the Omni-King would erase our universe. There's also King Piccolo, Goku's brother, maybe the androids, maybe Majin Buu. If none of those things kill me, the Omni-King will."

Lord Beerus: "I didn't consider the Tournament of Power not existing. Without Goku to suggest it, it's all but guaranteed that everyone in Universe 7, along with the other universes that competed, would have been erased."

Lord Liquiir: "What that means is Bulma meeting Goku saved the multiverse." She smirked.

Bulma: "Don't you know? I'm the real main character of the story. Goku was just along for the ride." Big talk. I'd love to see you fight Jiren. If she used her hypothetical Iron Woman suit, that would be a sight to behold. "By the way, DemonLucario? I'll admit to nothing, so it looks like we're at an impasse. That's an inside joke if any of you are wondering what I'm talking about. Don't worry about it."

Lord Beerus: "Now that we answered all of the questions, here's another scene from the ninth chapter of OCAK before we end the show."

Mm...it feels like someone put a blanket on me or a big pillow behind my body...how long has it been there? It's soft...and warm...and floofy. I instinctively snuggled up against it, trying to get as much as the softness and warmth as I can. It feels so...familiar. Without opening my eyes I lazily moved my paw around, eventually finding...an arm draped around me and a paw on my stomach.

Lord Beerus: "Liquiir...is that you?" I said sleepily, taking the paw which obviously belongs to him in mine. Now that my body is waking up, I think he has his other arm under my head and letting me use it as a pillow. I like this, being the slightly smaller spoon. That's good to know. I wasn't so sure I'd be comfortable being like this.

Lord Liquiir: "Shh...Liquiir is sleeping with his favorite pillow."

Lord Beerus: "How long has Liquiir been sleeping with Beerus, his favorite pillow?"

Lord Liquiir: "A while now. Liquiir's lost track."

Lord Beerus: "How long are Beerus and Liquiir going to keep talking in the third person?"

Lord Liquiir: "It's hard to say. How long is Beerus going to wait until he kisses Liquiir?"

Lord Beerus: "That's easy to say. Liquiir doesn't need to wait for Beerus to kiss him anymore." I rolled over to my other side and slipped my arms around his waist. Once I did that I gave him a short and sweet kiss on the lips. I'll make sure to do something less chaste when we don't have as much talking to do first. "Hello." He smiled.

Lord Liquiir: "Hello."

Bulma: "Aw! Cuteness like that is what I like."

Lord Beerus: "That 'I'll make sure to do something less chaste' part is what I like. I know the author won't go crazy and we'll probably just make out, but it's fun to think about the other things we'll be able to do once we're life mates."

Lord Liquiir: "I know, I can't wait until we're life mates." Liquiir looked up. "Please, author. Hurry up and make it happen."

Bulma: "Lord Beerus is a given, but it took me this long to realize that you must think about...consummating your life mate ceremony a lot."

Lord Beerus: "Just call it sex, Bulma. You don't have to censor yourself."

Bulma: "I was being chaste."

Lord Liquiir: "Chaste or not, you're right. I...I do think about it often. The wait is painful." I gently grabbed his paw and kissed him on the lips. It lasted a couple of seconds.

Lord Beerus: "I understand your pain and annoyance. The author is so close yet so far. Until that day comes, which better be soon, try not to think about it too much." He smiled.

Lord Liquiir: "I'll try. Thank you, Beerus." We looked at Bulma. "You can take it away from here." She nodded.

Bulma: "That's the end of our show. We hope you all enjoyed it and in the next one I think we'll discuss the difference between power creep and power scaling. Do either of you have anything you want to add before we leave?"

Lord Beerus: "Not really."

Bulma: "Liquiir?"

Lord Liquiir: "Have fun wherever you can find it. It's more important now than ever."

Bulma: "I think that's something we can all agree on. Even if it's small, have fun. See you later, everyone." We all waved goodbye.

There, I finally answered those questions from last year. I can't make any promises, but I'll do my best to keep things more consistent this time around.

Also, I can't stress enough how much I recommend that you all watch episode thirteen of Super Dragon Ball Heroes. The animation looks too good to not watch it.

As always, until the next show, D.F.T.B.A. (Don't Forget To Be Awesome!) Have an awesome day!
