Books Are For Humans: Chapter 7: Kraken
Vegeta was in his room, lying on his big bed, him and the ceiling were having a stare down contest. The blank white color was the only thing he had in view.
"Funny…. The idiot usually arrives at this time… Maybe he finally died!" he cheered in vain. He knew he would have sensed something if that glorious event occurred. It was 4:50 in the morning. He had actually planned on how to annoy the blue haired urchin this morning, but had decided against it. That thing wasn't even worth his time… he believed that by doing nothing, he had indeed shown that he was better than her.
Vegeta had woken up, his sheets soaked in his sweat, from a nightmare… He had been trapped in a room full of tiles. He walked around and then encountered a dark corner, along with a familiar silhouette. A light had immediately turned on, and to his fear… it was the most dreaded thing he could be trapped in a room with…. The most annoying nuisance to have ever lived…. One even more awful than the blue wench….. Kakarrot. He began to talk nonstop! The tiles were no longer tiles, but instead televisions… all portrayed the idiot talking… and laughing!
When he woke up…. He couldn't fall back to sleep. As he lay there in thought, his window opened.
"Haven't you ever heard of a door you idiot?" Vegeta spoke.
"I thought I might wake you up, but it seems you're already up and around… well kinda… you're up," Goku chuckled.
Vegeta arose from his bed and walked towards his door. It was at that moment that he got a brilliant idea. He would annoy the woman today… as well as receiving an added bonus.
"Kakarrot… I'm sure the woma—Bulma hasn't gotten up. What do you say if we give her a proper good morning?" Vegeta asked, his back to Goku.
Goku smiled, oblivious to Vegeta's true intentions. "That sounds like a great idea!" he laughed. Vegeta winced when Goku let out his laugh. That wound was still a bit fresh….
"After you," Vegeta snickered.
"Well aren't you being nice? Thank you Vegeta!" Goku beamed. Vegeta was being disgusted at the idiot's actions… it was too much niceness for his liking.
Goku walked in front of Vegeta through the entire corridors. Turning here and there and then finally… Bulma's door was in sight.
"Kakarrot, when you—I mean when we go inside, I think we should scream good morning at the top of our lungs," Vegeta whispered
"Well, what are you waiting for Kakarrot? Knock," Vegeta whispered harshly. Goku attempted to contain his laughter by covering his mouth with his hand. He nodded towards the flame-haired warrior and knocked on the door.
Vegeta backed away from the door. He moved a good foot towards the left side of the door. He smiled devilishly and crossed his arms.
When there was no response to Goku's knocking, Goku turned his head to Vegeta and raised his eyebrows. Vegeta made a signal to keep on knocking, and Goku followed.
In Bulma's Room….
Bulma had been beside her door since 4:45 in the morning. She had anticipated that Vegeta would conjure up a plan, in the hopes of annoying her beyond belief and ruining her day completely.
But alas! She has outsmarted him both yesterday and today, a pattern that if he wishes to continue, he shall be put in his place! No one wakes Bulma Briefs before 7:00 and gets away with it! Hell will most likely break lose on the unfortunate soul.
She has in her hands, a can of mace. Not just any puny can, no, this was a special can. She had developed it herself. This kind of mace was meant for Saiyans….. A "Saiyan repellant" as she liked to call it. Spraying the entire thing in the eyes of a Saiyan, would be the equivalent of spraying about half a can of pepper spray into a normal human's eyeballs, at least she hoped it was.
Yes, the tables have turned on the pathetic Prince of Saiyans! She composed herself and concentrated on the hallway noises. Whenever a step-like noise is made, Bulma widens her eyes and tightens her fingers around the cold cylinder. Her index finger having a hunger to just press down on the spray and let it all out.
She heard footsteps! He was moving quickly because she heard many footsteps at once. She formulated a plan in her head, she would wait for him to knock twice, and then she would open the door but remain hidden, and when he's in her room completely, she'll jump out and spray away! It was brilliant!
A knock! One more to go!
Outside Bulma's Door….
Goku knocked lightly on Bulma's wooden door. Silence intruded even more so after that.
"Vegeta, she isn't asweri-" the door had opened to reveal a tiny crack of light emitting from the other side of the door. Goku smiled and then rushed through the door.
WHOOOSH!
"GOOD MORNING BULMA!" Goku yelled. Before Bulma could process that Goku was the intruder, she moved the can so that it was on the side of Goku's head. Goku turned to see a silver bottle. Bulma's finger moved faster than her mind, and she sprayed away. Vegeta was the only one conscious of everything that was going on.
"AHH! Geez that really burns!" Goku yelped rubbing his eyes.
"Goku!? Oh dear Kami! I am so sorry! I thought that you were…" Bulma stuttered.
"Ahahahaha! That was priceless!" Vegeta was in hysterics. He held his torso so that it wouldn't burst.
"Vegeta!" Bulma grunted. "This is all your fault!" she yelled as she ran to the bathroom.
"This really hurts…." Goku groaned.
"I afraid I don't see what you mean!?" Vegeta laughed. Bulma returned with a wet washcloth.
"Here you go Goku, put that over your eyes. It should reduce the burning. I am so sorry," she apologized.
"Why did you hurt me?" he whimpered.
"Well I thought that you were that idiot over there," she answered.
"Who's the real idiot in this room?" Vegeta questioned. Bulma grunted and turned away.
10 Minutes later….
"Well boys, given that Goku will be unable to read today…. Again sorry about that….. Vegeta, you will be the reader today!" Bulma snickered.
"I have no regrets…. It was worth seeing the idiot in pain," Vegeta chuckled.
"My eyes still kinda sting… how long will the pain last?" Goku asked, his head tilted to keep the damp cloth in place.
Bulma bit her cheek before she responded. "About another half hour."
"Too bad it doesn't last forever…" Vegeta muttered.
"Well, onto today's lesson gentlemen. Um… since Goku can't see for the moment, we're going to see how well both of you can spell and as an added bonus, you must use the word in a sentence," Bulma explained.
"Wait, is the word that we have to spell coming from the story we're reading?" Goku asked positioning the cloth back into place.
"Nope. If it were than Vegeta would be able to cheat. The word that you are given will be one that I think about at random," she explained.
(AN: So when either Vegeta or Goku get the word wrong they will of course spell it the way that they think is right, but when they use it in a sentence, it'll be spelled the correct way. We're all on the same boat now right?)
"Either way, I'll be better than Kakarrot," Vegeta snapped.
"It's sad how you really believe that," Bulma chimed.
"Shut it," Vegeta barked.
"All right boys, today we're reading another story from the text book," Bulma smiled, pulling out the red books. "Vegeta, turn to page 60," she instructed.
"That's What Friends Are For," he smirked. "You can't be serious?"
"Start reading," Bulma commanded.
Vegeta rolled his eyes and huffed.
Elliot has a leg that doesn't work.
"I bet that's not the only thing that doesn't work," Vegeta muttered.
"Wait is that in the book?" Goku asked.
"No Goku, it's just Vegeta being an idiot," Bulma snapped.
And this was the day that he was going to—
"Get a life?" Vegeta inserted.
"Vegeta!" Bulma screeched. He continued.
See his cousin!
What can I do?
"I have a few suggestions," Vegeta coaxed.
"Then shove them up your as-"
"Bulma, watch the language," Goku ordered.
"But he is such a huge-" she began.
"Uh-uh," Goku stopped. Bulma groaned and frowned.
Vegeta smirked and narrowed his eyes at her. Bulma stuck her tongue out at him in response.
I can't visit my cousin with my bad leg like this.
I'll ask my friends!
"Wait a minute? He has friends? I suppose next it's going to say that Kakarrot has a brain," Vegeta snorted.
"Hey! I do to have a brain!" Goku retorted holding the cloth in place.
"Oh that's right. Sometimes when you walk, I can hear it rattle around in your thick skull," Vegeta smirked.
They'll tell me what to do!
"What a tool…" Vegeta coughed.
"Okay… Word time! Goku, spell annotation and use it in a sentence," Bulma stuttered.
"Okay… A-N-O-T-A-T-I-O-N, and I have made an annotation in my writing paper," Goku boomed.
"You got one of the two questions right. You spelled annotation wrong," she said, "Okay Vegeta, since you seem to have an interest in this story…. As always… You get a difficult word." She jeered.
"Give me your best shot you wench," he snapped.
"Alright you buffoon, spell whilom, oh and use it in a sentence," she chuckled.
"Fine. W-I-L-O-M. And for the sentence, they were whilom friends," he quipped.
"Close but no cigar. Whilom is spelled W-H-I-L-O-M. You used it in the correct way though," she laughed. "Boys, you have to do your homework!" Bulma screeched.
"What homework? Usually by the time it's 11 o'clock, you tell us to leave you alone because it'll cross over with your 'Bulma Time', then you turn all grumpy," Goku queried.
"Well if it becomes 'Bulma Time', you two need to go away," she grunted.
"Kakarrot, if we don't she'll turn into the Kraken," Vegeta sneered.
"I'll show you kraken you good for nothing piece-"
"What happens to Elliot!?" Goku demanded to know.
"Yes Vegeta, what happens to Elliot?" Bulma chimed.
"He dies and then his body rots away, the end," Vegeta taunted.
"Just keep reading dammit," she said exasperated.
Elliot's friend the bird swooped in to see the situation.
Is something wrong? Bird asked.
"Oh, great. Another genius. He is lying on the floor face flat. His legs look contorted and dislocated. No, nothing is wrong," Vegeta smirked.
My leg is broken, which means that I can't see my cousin! Elliot said.
Well, if you can't walk, you can fly. It is what I would do! Bird said.
"This bird is as dumb as Kakarrot if it thinks elephants can fly," Vegeta spat.
"Elephants can fly, it's been done before," Goku explained.
"Name one time," Vegeta countered.
"Dumbo!" Goku yelled.
