Resolution Fourteen: Bulma
Disclaimer: Dragon Ball, the glorious franchise it is, is not in any way a property I control. I can only wish to supplement its mystique with stories such as the one herein. The same is in regards to related characters, symbols, plot elements, etc.
With that said, I hope you enjoy the story!
I swear, sometimes Goku goes way too far when he's trying to get something accomplished.
I had no idea that I was going to make this particular new year's resolution before the year began, but now, I'm definitely going to resolve to do this.
My new year's resolution is to get Vegeta to become a Super Saiyan 3.
Now, you might be asking yourself, "Out of all the things she could possibly want to do in the new year, why does Bulma have exactly the same new year's resolution as Goku?"
Well, I'll tell you why.
Goku told Vegeta at the new year's party we had over my place that after a week of the new year passed by, if Vegeta didn't agree to accept Goku's help in becoming a Super Saiyan 3, he would show up every day at our house, transformed as a Super Saiyan 3, and keep on doing this until Vegeta agreed to his help.
Considering the fact that so much happened that evening, I honestly thought that Goku would forget all about it, and that it was just a statement he made in passing, right before he began acting more enthusiastic than usual while racing with Vegeta and the others to see who could chug a pitcher of beer the fastest. Vegeta was pissed that Goku beat him, and maybe it's yet another reason that Vegeta's been reluctant to train with him.
But of course, it was just my luck that Goku was really serious about it. He called us three times during the first week of the new year, and on the first two occasions, Vegeta slammed the phone after Goku asked him about it. The third time, I answered, then after telling Vegeta it was from Goku, he surprisingly and rather politely asked me for the phone, and then unsurprisingly and rather forcefully blasted the phone out of existence, making it join Trunks' video game system in whatever part of Otherworld is reserved for expensive crap.
That man has so much self-pride and arrogance that I honestly don't see how Goku thinks he can convince Vegeta to do something that he feels would dishonor himself. Vegeta is really adamant about wanting to achieve the transformation all on his own, and quite frankly, I can understand that, as it's a matter of self-respect.
But after the first week of the new year, Goku began showing up.
In fact, he showed up on each of the past three days.
On the first day, I heard the doorbell ring, and who did I see at the door?
Goku.
He was in his Super Saiyan 3 transformation and began asking for Vegeta, and then Vegeta ran from behind me and slammed the door in Goku's face, or rather, forced the door to rip off its hinges and then hit Goku right in the face.
On the second day, Vegeta and I were having a pleasant afternoon with Trunks, with the three of us hanging out in our backyard, when, right after Vegeta powered up to Super Saiyan to train with Trunks, who suddenly appeared?
Goku.
When I saw Vegeta's face beginning to turn redder than the color red, I thought about how to make Goku go away, and thankfully, Goku gladly accepted a grilled-cheese sandwich and instant transmitted away while munching into it.
But then, on the third day, Vegeta and I were in the middle of tender intimacy, and who did I see suddenly appear in the air right outside of our window?
Goku.
Without needing to describe what happened next in explicit detail, it's safe to say that Vegeta was absolutely furious, and that even though Vegeta wasn't wearing at least a few items of clothing, he charged straight through the window, powered up to Super Saiyan 2, and Goku, even as a Super Saiyan 3, flew away out of not wanting to mess with a super-enraged Vegeta.
But seriously, this crap has to stop.
I don't think I can convince Goku to stop trying to convince Vegeta to train with him, and I don't think that Vegeta would ever want to train with Goku for this purpose out of his own free will.
Oh, but wait!
I think I might know of a way to convince Vegeta ….
Have a fantastic new year,
Bulma
