Note: Dragon Ball is an anime that's done by Toei Animation that's based on a franchise created by Akira Toriyama.

Vegeta had claimed his days of being a villain were over. However, Goku and Piccolo weren't so sure about that, because Vegeta continued challenging them, to battle him. He still thought of Goku, as his main rival and constantly had petty fights with him. Goku and Piccolo tried to reason with them. They both knew Vegeta had potential, to do better things. After all, he had helped them fight Frieza, as well as lots of other villains.

One day, Vegeta had Goku and Piccolo meet him at a mysterious forest. Piccolo assumed Vegeta brought them there for a fight. However, Goku wanted to give Vegeta a fair shot, at redemption. When Goku and Piccolo got to the forest, Vegeta was staring at them, while having a nasty grin on his face. Vegeta said, "Greetings, muscle-boy and green-frowner. It's rather kind of you to meet me here, so I can defeat both of you."

Piccolo replied, "We don't want to keep doing these fights. The three of us should be fighting the real villains, instead of doing these petty fights."

Vegeta responded, "I'll have you know that when I hold a grudge, it's for a meaningful reason. I know I'm the most powerful guy around, but that dimwitted Goku keeps proving me wrong. It's about time that he gets his defeat."

Goku replied, "If you think fighting me is for the best, then let's do it."

Piccolo looked at Goku and responded, "Hold on. We've been trying to stop our rivalry with Vegeta. If you engage in another fight, things won't end well."

Goku replied, "I'm afraid I must disagree. I believe if I defeat him, with grace and style, that'll prove to him, that he's not as flawless and amazing, as he claims to be. After he accepts the truth, maybe he can start accepting the fact that we need to work together." Vegeta and Goku started charging towards each other, while Piccolo gave both of them a disapproving look.

Vegeta had convinced himself, that he'd be the winner of the fight. However, that's not what happened. Goku had a big victory. Vegeta walked to Bulma's house. In recent months, Vegeta and Bulma had started dating. Bulma had been hoping that Vegeta would stop getting into petty fights.

Bulma opened the door and saw Vegeta who looked injured and had several bruises. Bulma looked scared, while asking, "Are you okay?"

Vegeta explained, "I got into another battle with that foolish Goku guy. I tried to show him who's boss, but the battle had unexpected results. He used more of his power, than I was expecting. I thought I'd be the winner and that Goku would need to go to the hospital. However, he's the winner and I'm in pain." He started laying on the couch.

Bulma said, "You should go to a hospital or something."

Vegeta replied, "Hospitals are overhyped, especially when you consider their prices. Believe it or not, I've fought stronger opponents than that dumb Goku fella. I'll need to rest up, for the rest of the day. Tomorrow, I'll see if muscle-boy wants another fight."

Bulma folded her arms and sternly responded, "You're not challenging Goku, to another fight."

Vegeta sighed and replied, "I'm hoping you're not making a big fuss, because you're concerned about my safety."

Bulma responded, "You should expect me to care, because I like you."

Vegeta replied, "I like you, a lot, but you shouldn't stop me, from having these battles."

Bulma hoped she could be a peacekeeper by suggesting Vegeta handle his issues in a more safe and respectful way. She said, "You should challenge Goku in a different way."

Vegeta replied, "I'm assuming you're suggesting, that I do something more extreme."

Bulma responded, "Overly-extreme violence is the last thing, that I want you doing. You've already done more of that, than you should. You should do something, with Goku and Piccolo, that's more fun."

Vegeta put his hand on his chin, while wondering what he should do. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. If Vegeta messed with his enemies in subtle ways, he might be able to trick Goku and Piccolo, into thinking he has no tricks up his sleeves. He decided he should pull pranks.

After brainstorming his plans, Vegeta looked at Bulma and smiled, while saying, "I have a great idea, that's going to solve lots of problems."

Bulma looked intrigued, while asking, "What's your idea?"

Vegeta replied, "You and I should have a dinner date, with Goku and his family. That way, Goku and I can deal with our problems, with thoughtful discussions, rather than acts of violence."

Bulma grinned and responded, "That sounds like a wonderful idea, Vegeta. I'm going to call Goku's wife and see if she's up to it."

Goku and Piccolo were in Goku's living room, when they heard Goku's wife, Chi-Chi, talking to Bulma, over the phone. Goku and Piccolo started becoming concerned, because they kept hearing Vegeta's name. Goku looked at Piccolo and asked, "What is Vegeta planning on doing?"

Piccolo replied, "He's probably got another master plan that involves fighting you."

Goku said, "But he got into a lot of pain, from our last fight. He's a true fool if he wants to keep fighting me. Why would Chi-Chi be talking about our rival?"

Piccolo replied, "She's probably talking to Bulma, who's dating Vegeta."

Goku tried to look serious, while saying, "We have to my wife from getting involved in Vegeta's plan." Goku grabbed Chi-Chi's phone and smashed it.

Chi-Chi angrily stared at Goku, while asking, "Why did you do that?"

Goku heroically said, "To save you."

Chi-Chi smirked, while saying, "Well, you're not going to be able to save yourself, from making a trip to the store, to buy me a new cellphone." Goku facepalmed.

Piccolo said, "Chi-Chi, what were you and Bulma talking about?"

Chi-Chi replied, "Vegeta and Bulma want to have dinner, here, tomorrow night. I thought that was a great idea, so I invited both of them."

Goku and Piccolo both looked freaked-out. Goku said, "You can't have Vegeta come here. He's one of my most dangerous rivals."

Chi-Chi replied, "I'm tired of hearing you complain, about you and Vegeta's petty rivalry. Get over it." She calmed and said, "Anyways, Bulma pointed out, that I'm always the one, who has to do the cooking." She had a sly smile on her face, while saying, "Tomorrow, Goku will be the cook."

Goku replied, "But I'm not a cook."

Chi-Chi responded, "It's about time, that you do something, other than getting into fights. If you need help, I'm sure Piccolo can assist you."

Goku looked at Piccolo, while saying, "Well, it seems like we have to become cooks."

Piccolo replied, "We're probably going to burn our chances, of making a good meal."

The next day, Vegeta was wearing sweatpants and a shirt that said, "I'm over nine-thousand times cooler than the average Saiyan." Vegeta got out his cellphone and gave Bulma a call.

Bulma said, "Hi, Vegeta. What's going on?"

Vegeta replied, "I'm afraid you might have to meet me, at Goku's house, rather than me picking you up. You see, I'm going to go to the house, early, so I can help them get things ready."

Bulma responded, "That's admirable of you. I'll meet you there."

After Vegeta got off the phone, he said, "Now, I'll be able to pull pranks, on Goku and Piccolo. They think they're so dignified and powerful, but being defeated by pranks will be their most embarrassing loss." He did an evil laugh.

Meanwhile, Chi-Chi came into the living room, while wearing a robe and saying, "I'm going to go take a bath."

Goku looked baffled, while asking, "Why would you want to take a bath?"

Chi-Chi could hardly believe she had to answer that, while replying, "To get clean." Please tell me you take baths, during the week."

Goku replied, "It's been a few years, since I took a bath."

Chi-Chi sighed and said, "I've been holding onto the false hope, that you've been taking a bath, while I'm going shopping."

Piccolo replied, "Considering Goku's smell, I knew he was swimming in junkyards, rather than in water."

Chi-Chi looked at Goku and sternly said, "You better start taking baths or showers."

Goku asked, "How about we make a deal?"

Chi-Chi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the deal?"

Goku explained, "I'll take a bath, while you do the cooking."

Chi-Chi replied, "Forget about that deal. Start cooking." Goku started heading to the kitchen, while Piccolo started cleaning the house.

Vegeta walked to the front door and started knocking on it. Goku's son, Gohan, opened the door and said, "Hi, Vegeta."

Vegeta tried to look friendly, while replying, "Greetings, Gohan."

Gohan said, "You're early."

Vegeta replied, "Let me give you a lesson, kid: It's better to be earlier, rather than later. Tell your dad, that I'd like to assist in getting this dinner party ready."

Gohan nodded and started walking to Goku, to tell him the news. Goku thought Vegeta was having a change of heart, so he let Vegeta come into the house.

Vegeta went into the kitchen. He said, "Greetings, Goku. What are you cooking?"

Goku replied, "Chi-Chi expects me to cook a pizza, but I don't know how to do that. I don't know which device cooks pizzas."

Vegeta wanted to be sneaky and unhelpful, so he said, "Put it in the microwave."

Goku took the pizza out of the box and started stuffing it into the microwave. He asked, "What should the temperature be?"

Vegeta answered, "Thirty degrees."

Goku nodded and set the microwave to thirty degrees, before pressing the start button. Goku said, "I think this is going to be a delicious pizza."

Vegeta asked, "What else do you have to cook?"

Goku said, "I'm supposed to make some fries. I remember Chi-Chi saying it's very important, that I use lots of ketchup."

Vegeta replied, "Then I'll get you the ketchup bottle, out of the fridge."

Goku responded, "Thank you, Vegeta." Goku started putting the fries in the oven, while saying, "I must say, that you're being rather nice and helpful, Vegeta. Your change of heart is appreciated."

Vegeta looked sly, while saying, "I love redeeming myself and doing kind things, for the people I care about." He whispered, "Muscle-boy probably thinks I care about him, which is hardly true." Vegeta purposely sprayed the bottle of ketchup, at Goku's hair.

Goku looked confused, while asking, "What happened?"

Vegeta pretended to be concerned, while saying, "I accidentally sprayed the ketchup, at you, rather than the fries. Since I used the entire bottle of ketchup, I don't know what we're going to do."

Goku smiled, while replying, "I have a solution. Vegeta, can you cut off my hair? Since there's ketchup on my hair, I'll put my hair on the fries. That way, the fries will covered with tasty ketchup."

Vegeta responded, "Excellent idea." Vegeta cut off every strand of hair, that Goku had. The bald Goku opened the oven and put his ketchup-stained hair on the fries.

After vacuuming the water, Goku went into the kitchen. Vegeta looked gleeful, while watching Goku prepare the dinner.

Piccolo came into the kitchen, to check on dinner. He noticed the pizza was a mushed-up mess, that looked frozen, due to being cooked at thirty degrees. Piccolo also noticed, that the fries were covered in Goku's hair. He said, "Goku, this looks like the most repulsive meal, that any dinner party's ever had."

Goku replied, "I'm afraid I have to disagree, Piccolo. It looks delicious."

Vegeta had an evil smile on his face, while whispering, "It'll be a real treat, to watch the others eat that disgusting meal and blame Goku, for everything that happened." He did an evil laugh.

Goku poured six cups of water, that he got from the bathtub. Piccolo angrily sighed and asked, "Is that the water, that you got from the bathtub?"

Goku answered, "It sure is."

Piccolo folded his arms and replied, "You're not going to serve that crap, to the others."

Goku responded, "It's going to taste like the world's most beautiful waterfall. That's what Vegeta told me."

Piccolo replied, "Vegeta's trying to trick you."

Goku shook his head and said, "Today, Vegeta has been generous and giving." Piccolo looked upset, that Goku was failing to understand the truth which made Vegeta looked delighted.

A short time later, Bulma arrived, so she went to the dinner table, along with Vegeta, Goku, Piccolo, Chi-Chi, and Gohan. Bulma and Gohan started sipping on the water, while being unaware, that it was bathwater.

Bulma looked at Chi-Chi, who was rubbing her neck. Bulma looked concerned, while asking, "Are you okay?"

Ch-Chi said, "I think I hurt my neck. When I was bathing in the sink, I had to constantly struggle to fit get comfortable."

Bulma asked, "Why did you bathe in the sink?"

Chi-Chi gritted her teeth and said, "Because Goku made me do it."

Goku replied, "I had to make her do that, so I could vacuum the bathwater that you guys are drinking." Bulma and Gohan spat-out the water.

Chi-Chi looked at the pizza and said, "This pizza doesn't looked cooked."

Goku replied, "Trust me, it tastes fantastic. Try a slice."

Ch-Chi, Bulma, and Gohan started eating the pizza, but quickly became horrified by how cold and unappealing it tasted.

Vegeta said, "I insisted Goku cook the pizza, at a reasonable temperature, but he insisted, that thirty degrees was the way to go." Chi-Chi, Bulma, and Gohan spat-out the pizza, which landed on Goku's bald head. Vegeta grinned and said, "It appears pizza-covered heads are the new trends, for hairstyles."

Bulma looked at the fries, that were covered in Goku's hair. She said, "These fries look like crap."

Goku replied, "All of the ketchup got into my hair, by accident, so I put my hair on the fries." Everybody refused to eat the fries.

Ch-Chi looked at Goku, with a disapproving look. She said, "I'm ashamed of you, honey. I had to bathe in a sink, like a child, while you prepared the worst-possible dinner, for our guests. You should be ashamed of yourself, for being so irresponsible and immature."

Piccolo thought it was about time, that everybody knew the truth. He stood up and said, "Goku doesn't deserve most of the blame for what planned. Vegeta came here, early, just so he can prank him."

Bulma and Ch-Chi looked at Vegeta. Vegeta stood up and had a big smile on his face, while saying, "My sneaky plan worked. I pranked muscle-boy and made him look like a loser, in front of his loved ones. Goku's had too many victories. It's about time that he suffered a big loss."

Goku frowned at Vegeta and replied, "You're the one who deserves a big loss."

Piccolo said, "I think we should punish him."

Chi-Chi had a sly smile on her face, while saying, "I know how to do that." She gave Vegeta a plate, that was full of the hair-colored fries. Chi-Chi said, "You're going to eat those."

Vegeta looked horrified, while replying, "I'm not eating fries that are covered in muscle-boy's hair." Chi-Chi started getting her fists ready, so Vegeta started eating the fries. The others burst into laughter, while Vegeta ate the disgusting fries.

Ch-Chi looked at Goku and said, "As for you, you're going to take a bath."

Goku looked horrified, while asking, "A bath?"

Chi-Chi replied, "Get in the bathtub, right now, or I'll make you take a bath, in the sink." Goku sighed and started heading to the bathroom.

Vegeta had tears coming his eyes, from the pain, that came from eating the world's worst tasting fries. He said, "This plan failed. Now that I've suffered, I need a nice drink." He grabbed a glass of water and started drinking, before remembering it was full of bathwater. Vegeta facepalmed, while saying, "I'm done being a prankster."
