Books Are For Humans: Chapter 8: Books Really Are For Humans
"Kakarot… I cannot express how much of an idiot you are…"
Bulma rolled her eyes and chuckled to herself. "You're one to talk… You couldn't even open a simple jar of peanut butter."
"That jar was defective and you know it!" Vegeta countered, crossing his arms and turning away.
"No, you're just a dim wit who couldn't even beat Goku in his weakest ability!"
Goku scratched his head and cocked his head. "Wait… does she think you lost on purpose?"
Vegeta quickly dashed to catch Goku's throat between his hands. "Kakarot… Shut up now, before I annihilate you…" Vegeta whispered harshly. Goku choked before he pushed the smaller Saiyan off him.
Bulma raised her eyebrows and placed both her manicured hands on her hips. "What do you mean on 'purpose' Goku?" she turned her attention towards Vegeta. "Why on Earth would you lose on purpose?"
Vegeta sighed and looked angrily at Goku. "The deal is off Kakarot. You couldn't keep up your end…"
Bulma placed both her hands on either side of her head and shook it. "Whoa… Wait a minute! What deal?"
Goku pouted while he placed his chin on the coffee table. "Vegeta told me he would give the best food ever if I acted smarter than him…"
Bulma widened her eyes… she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"To clarify, I had my own motives for doing such a thing," Vegeta grunted.
"What do you mean? Why would you do that?"
"Because, you would most likely go kill yourself if you found out. And, I need my machine going at all times." Bulma still didn't understand, and it showed on her face. Vegeta huffed and rolled his eyes. "I didn't want you to know that I was smarter than you, because then you wouldn't fix the Gravity Machine, and would most likely yell at me to fix it myself. And as you know, I don't do grub work."
It surprised Vegeta when Bulma started laughing. She began clapping her hands and heaving. "That really is hilarious! Ooh… Goku… Gather the dragon balls, I'm going to need you to resurrect me, because I'm going to die of laughter!"
Vegeta smirked and shook his head. "She's in denial Kakarot."
Bulma quit laughing instantly. She cleared her throat and poised herself. "Well Vegeta, if you are 'intelligent', which you're not! Prove it." She dared.
"How, pray tell, do you suppose I prove it?" he hissed.
Bulma tapped her index finger on her chin, deep in thought. "What is the definition of baldenfreude?"
He could never correctly define it, she had only ever used the word once…
Vegeta smirked and rolled his eyes. "Satisfaction derived from the misfortune of bald or balding individuals. Example, whenever I laugh at baldy. Is that the best you had?"
Bulma narrowed her eyes and set her jaw.
2 hours later….
Goku had sat on a nearby chair reading Dr. Seuss's ABC alphabet book, while Bulma and Vegeta fought. He had learned how to keep track of all the letters now, and he even had a nice rhyme to go along with it. The only reason that kept him staying was to make sure the other two didn't kill each other.
"You're just getting lucky!"
"Or, follow me on this one, maybe you're just an idiot!"
Goku had finished and stood up. He walked between the two, making them growl, and took a deep breathe.
"I, have had enough. I sat on that chair patiently waiting until you two came to your senses and stop fighting. But this is where I reach my limit!" Goku looked at both of them and frowned. "I just read a book by myself! And you know what!? I never want to do it again!"
And with that, the Saiyan walked out of the room, and out of the house, leaving both Bulma and Vegeta, stunned. Not at the fact that he had stopped their battle for a few moments, but that he was actually able to read something by himself.
Go Goku! In the end, he wins… REVIEW and give me your last thoughts on this. Love to you all!
