I want to say thank you to everyone reading, but mostly, I thank ShadowTheSuperMajin for pointing out a giant mistake, one I have corrected in the previous chapters. Beerus is purple, and Whis is not. AH DUH!
I also wanna thank NotMarge for her continued support, and not just the beta work she does for my stories, but in my fight to stay motivated and remain smoke free. (43 days and counting, thanks sis)
Thank you as well to Sky d, Cybersamuri, SupremeWisdom, Mysteec, Son of Whitebeard, Azanelpha, and the other guests that have reviewed.
I hope you will enjoy this chapter, as in my biased opinion, this is the funniest chapter yet.
Chapter 6 The Great Pudding Eating Contest
The Capsule Corp Compound was in a panic the night before Bulma's big day, as a huge threat suddenly developed. The large pool, filled to the brim with pudding, now on the verge of spoiling.
"Well how could I know the refrigeration unit would break, Vegeta!" Bulma yells, as her husband remarks about the situation again, and the smell it will cause for tomorrow if the milk based product were to curdle in the near seventy degree temperatures.
She then gestures her hand to Lord Beerus, who shows a disgusted look on his face.
"I also figured the God of Destruction would have a field day with this, but for some reason it's the only food this moron seems not to like!"
"Watch the moron comments, Bulma!" Beerus remarks, pointing at his large ears, than looking over the pool again. "I can accept the fact that you are angry with my distaste of your world's pudding, but I don't need you to patronize me...I do have feelings you know."
Bulma strides up to the large purple colored cat, showing her anger up close.
"The only reason I filled this thing was for you, MORON!" She barks back, and quickly Vegeta pulls her away.
"Forgive her, Lord Beerus, she is just a little concerned for the big party..." the Saiyan Prince remarks humbly, placing a hand over Bulma's mouth as she continues spitting slurs. "...we must empty the whole pool now, and she was just hoping you would enjoy some before we had to throw it all away!"
"No throw away!" a voice suddenly barks out from above, as Majin Buu has been drawn to the smell for an hour. His pink body hovers over the pool, waiting for his moment to steal it all again, but this time it appears he won't have to.
"BUU EAT IT ALL!"
Beerus shows his teeth, seeing the one who ate the pudding last time, and now gets angry.
"NO!" he yells, then quickly slides over to Bulma, holding her in a one armed embrace while pointing at the pool.
"If you had shared the last time, I would have known this stuff is disgusting, and this poor lady would not be smelling rotten milk on her fortieth birthday!"
Vegeta, still standing on the other side of his wife, is astonished as Bulma inches closer to the God of Destruction, and begins agreeing with him.
"Yeah Majin Buu...you did this," she begins, then whispers in Beerus' big ear. Again Vegeta stands in shock, as the big cat chuckles for a second, then nods his head with a smile, before Bulma finishes her thought. "...so you better clean it all up now!"
"You want Buu to clean pool?" The big Pink blob's eyes open wide, but only after his tiny pea brain figures it out.
"BUU CAN DOOO...BUU CAN DOOOOOOO!"
Beerus smirks again as Bulma gives a hearty laugh, seeing the big pink baby-like creature jumping wildly for joy. However, as Majin Buu goes to dive into the pool, another voice breaks the festive moment.
"Stop right there, you pink blob!"
Majin Buu begins steaming from every hole on his body, and quickly turns around to confront the one who insulted him.
"Who calls Buu a blaaaaaa..." The pink creature suddenly halts his anger and a slight whimper sneaks from his mouth, staring at the nearly thirty five foot tall red and black Draconian king, whom has had his eye on the pudding as well.
"You a big dragon!"
Titan lowers his long narrow muzzle down to the now shuttering Majin Buu, a certain smirk upon his face
"Since there is no way you're eating all of that, I would appreciate if you wouldn't ruin it for the rest of us who may want some."
Majin Buu looks at the forty thousand gallon pool, then smiles.
"I eat it all!" he grunts, making Titan balk with surprise, then show his anger.
"NO, YOU DON'T!" the large dragon returns, and Majin Buu gets angry himself.
"Crazy blue haired lady said pudding is Buu's!"
Bulma frowns, yet Beerus smiles, and nudges the wife of Vegeta with an elbow.
"This guy is not that swift, is he?" the large cat remarks, recalling the fight Majin Buu started with him two years ago over pudding. His smile widens as Titan's large tail flattens the yellow boxing glove wearing blob-like pink fighter.
"PUDDING IS NOT BUU'S..." Titan barks, then shoves his face into the deep end, siphoning nearly a hundred gallons of chocolaty delight from the pool, all while holding the pink creature down. He then pulls his muzzle from the pudding, as Buu removes himself from under Titan's tail, and proudly shows off his chocolate covered snout.
"Pudding is Titan's!"
Buu flips out and strikes the large dragon, knocking the chocolate from his face, but nothing more. He again becomes a bit worried as Titan's pupils narrow, locking upon him with a fierce stare, like a cat readying to pounce on a helpless mouse.
"I was going to share it with you, you dumb blob..." the large black and red drake barks, backing Buu up with just the shear anger in his voice, however, this is as far as the hostility goes.
"ENOUGH!" Bulma yells, startling everyone as her voice booms louder than Titan's. An uncomfortable silence fills the pool side, as no one dare speak now, seeing the look of rage in Bulma's eyes.
"This is my home, and my party, Your Majesty! You will not smash your tail on anymore of my guests...UNDERSTOOD?!" she shouts in the face of the massive dragon.
"But he was..."
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" she snaps back, stopping Titan mid sentence. He shows the weakling human female pure fear, and sits down on his hind quarters with his head held down.
"Sorry, ma'am!"
"I swear, Vegeta, you are one lucky guy..." Beerus remarks, as he now stands alone with the Saiyan Warrior. Both look upon the fragile human as she turns her attention to another powerful creature and begins yelling at him.
"AND YOU..." Bulma continues with a rage-filled voice. "...YOU GOT SOME NERVE CALLING ME CRAZY, MAJIN BUU!"
"I really like this woman, Vegeta..." Beerus continues, smirking as Bulma grasps the large pink creature by the tentacle on his head, pulling him eye to eye with her. "She has a pair of b..."
"What's going on over here?" Piccolo's voice echos from above and everyone looks up to see Whis and the remaining Z fighters, whom have come from the house to investigate the shouting.
Goku lands first, a wide smile on his face, seeing the scene that unfolds.
"I think Bulma's laying down ground rules for Majin Buu..." he says, then glances over to the God of Destruction. "...cause it looks like he's trying to eat Beerus' pudding again."
"He can have it all," Beerus remarks shocking everyone, including his attendant.
"Seriously?!" the bluish green skinned mentor retorts, as he has had several bowls of the pudding, and enjoyed every bite.
"That stuff is disgusting!" Beerus replies, and quickly Majin Buu makes his case again for the pudding.
"See..." he says, looking past Bulma to the large dragon king from another world."...even large hairless house cat said Buu have it ALL!"
Bulma, still with a good grip on his tentacle, yanks Majin Buu's attention back to her
"But crazy blue haired lady said YOU WILL SHARE!"
The normally squinted eyes of Majin Buu open wide, showing a great look of fear to the wife of Vegeta, and he simply nods his head up and down.
"That girl is feisty..." Beerus remarks, a very wry smirk upon his face, as he turns to Vegeta. "...she would make a wonderful Goddess of Destruction!"
"Over my dead body!" The Saiyan Prince remarks with a humorous tone in his voice, as both he and Beerus have built a very good relationship during a year together in training. Recalling many of the conversations they had in the Hyperbolic Chamber of Draconia, Beerus simply places his paw-like hand upon Vegeta's shoulder. A sturdy grip is applied, and the light purple colored cat smiles a bit wider
"Is that all I have to do?!"
Both warriors begin laughing at the sarcastic tone in the God of Destruction's answer. However, as Bulma is now getting overwhelmed by the two powerful combatants, fighting over the pool of pudding, the two finally decide to intercede
"If you two don't start playing nice..." Beerus remarks, peering over at his attendant who is licking his chops. "...I will give my share, which I believe would be the whole pool, to my friend Whis."
"And I will rescind the invitations to my wife's party for both of you, if you do not get control of yourselves." Vegeta adds, grasping his love from between the childish pudding scavengers. "I will not have this party ruined like the one two years ago..."
The Sayian Prince turns to the God of Destruction, showing such a smug grin as he continues.
"...when two children fought over some pudding!"
"Hey!" Beerus frowns, knowing he was one of those children. "I was looking to share, Vegeta."
The light purple skinned cat points a claw at Majin Buu.
"He's the slob that you should be yelling at."
The squishy pink creature shows such a sad face that Bulma gets mad again, but this time at her husband and Lord Beerus.
"You guys stop picking on him!" she barks, startling everyone again as her voice becomes piercing. She turns and looks at the pool, and becomes even angrier, but this time at herself.
"This was my fault!" she remarks, looking at Beerus with a somewhat saddened expression, realizing her plan didn't work the way she had hoped.
Vegeta can see his wife suddenly become anxious, and he is quick to her side.
"What is it, Bulma?" He asks, knowing his wife of a dozen years has something on her mind, but she keeps it inside.
"Nothing," she replies, but the Saiyan Prince knows better. However, knowing her better than most of the people on Earth, and how she would only get more angry if he pressed, Vegeta simply leaves it at that.
The Saiyan Prince holds Bulma gently, but securely, feeling the tension in her body, and decides to handle this situation himself now, before his lovely bride becomes more upset.
"If the two of you are going to fight over the pool, then I see only one conclusion..." he calls out, then pecks his wife on the cheek before going to work. "...we have a contest!"
"Contest?" Majin Buu asks with no clue to the concept of the word contest.
Titan also balks, asking roughly the same question.
"What kind of contest?"
Vegeta smirks as he get both combatants attention, then lifts his wife up in his arms, he hovers over the rather large pool, and Bulma grasps tighter.
"You better not!" she remarks, as Vegeta only thinks of dropping her, and a smile fills his face.
"I would never..." he remarks snidely, kissing Bulma upon the lips, passionately looking deep into her eyes, before finishing his thought "...we are on the shallow side of the pool."
He then raises his voice for those below.
"The first to eat their half of the pool wins..." Vegeta remarks, now laying out ground rules for this impromptu contest, and a smirk fills his face as he also gives details on the prize. "...and gets to punch the loser in the stomach."
Both Titan and Majin Buu stare at each other, and both draw wide smiles as well.
"OK!" they reply in sync with each other.
Vegeta shuffles his wife to his right arm, snuggling her tightly to his side while pointing towards the left side of the pool with his empty hand.
"Majin Buu...you get this side," he then spins Bulma around the front of his body, in an almost dance type move, shuffling her to the left arm. Another quick kiss is stolen before his right arm points down to the other side of the pool "Titan, you of course will take this side."
Bulma, completely astonished by her husband's sudden ability in diplomacy, grasp him tightly around the chest. She leans in, pecking gently upon the cheek before staring him dead in the face.
"And what happens when one of them pukes?" she asks very calmly, which creeps the Saiyan Prince out. However, Vegeta has that handled as well.
"Then Kakarot gets them out of here in an Instant!"
"HEY!" Goku barks out, hearing every word his friend is saying. "How the heck did I get involved in this?"
"Why is it always an issue when I ask a simple favor, Kakarot?! I mean how hard is it for you to put two fingers to your forehead an think of place to go?" Vegeta barks, using an odd reverse psychology on his friend, that works very quick.
"Easy, Vegeta...I'm sorry. I guess I can do that, no problem. I certainly don't want that kinda mess for the big day tomorrow." Goku replies, and Bulma begins laughing knowing her husband played him well.
However, one more voice rises up, expressing the last bit of disagreement in this race.
"But what about me?" Whis asks, and Beerus is quickly to his attendant's side.
"Stop complaining, I will make sure we get the first servings of tempura, along with a good quantity of fresh sushi and spring rolls."
Whis stops pouting and simply folds his arm like a gentlemen across his stomach.
"I guess this should be fun to watch then," Whis remarks, reassuring himself with the multitude of different tastes he can remember, and all forth coming in one days time. "I'll need space in my stomach for all that delicious tuna and even that wasabi stuff!"
Beerus turns to his attendant, showing a rather disapproving set of eyes.
"Well maybe you have a weak stomach, Lord Beerus, but I think wasabi adds to the flavor..." Whis remarks, then smugly smirks in his students face. "...if you don't shove the whole clump down your throat that is."
"Speaking of shoving something down one's throat..." Lord Beerus remarks, watching as Vegeta starts the race, and both dragon and odd pink creature begin slurping. "...did you save me any of that rice pudding I saw you eating before?"
Whis balks, watching the pool full of pudding that was given to Lord Beerus being devoured, then gives his good friend a very odd look.
"I thought you didn't like the stuff..." he remarks, pointing at forty thousand gallons of the dessert that he turned down. "...what is wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?!" the large cat retorts with a bit of anger. "You know I can't eat chocolate, Whis! Unless you enjoyed picking up all those hair balls I hacked up the last time I ate the vile stuff."
Meanwhile, having no issue with chocolate, Titan enjoys the smooth, thick, sweet pudding, slurping gallons at a time with his large mouth. Pacing himself for the race, knowing he has an easy victory at hand, the large drake savors the decedent taste of this wonderful treat not found on his world.
However, as he looks to his right, and notices almost half the pool on Majin Buu's side is gone, he quickly pulls his head from the pudding and stares at him in shock.
"Where the hell is he putting it all?" Titan asks aloud, and Buu stops for a second to show his chocolate covered smile.
"Buu have lots of room for pudding!" he squawks, then buries his face into the pool again.
Titan, still stunned to the core, realizes he needs to stop savoring and start shoveling. Which he does, much to the chagrin of Majin Buu. The large dragon quickly inhales the remainder of his half in six seconds flat, leaving no question to the winner, as Buu has yet to reach the vanilla side of the shallow end.
Everyone is stunned, as the large dragon grumbles heavily from the excessive intake of pudding, and simply rolls over on his side, exhausted.
Majin Buu, slightly annoyed at the loss, finishes the race, as he is not going to let pudding go to waste. He then leaps from the pool as if he is not carrying an extra twenty thousand gallons of pudding around his waist.
"YOU WIN!" he blurts, still a big smile upon his jovial pink face, but yet Titan has no ambition to take his prize. "You punch Buu in the belly now!"
"Are you serious?" the large dragon grunts, barely able to look the round pink monster in the face without feeling sick. "How in the name of the Ancestors are you even standing up right now?"
"Buu feel great...Buu happy you win..." he says, placing his gloved hand upon Titan's stomach, and feeling the rumbling getting progressively worse. "...Buu didn't want to punch large dragon and make him sick!"
Suddenly, and total unexpectedly, Beerus zips across the empty pool, and slams the large dragon in the stomach.
Titan gurgles hard for a moment, and quickly places his paw upon his muzzle, holding it closed so nothing comes out. His now tear filled-eyes focus on the large cat with his paw extended out to his stomach, and pure rage fills his thoughts.
"WHY WOULD YO...OOOO...oooooo..." The large dragon tries to speak, but again he is forced to hold his mouth shut with his left paw. His right paw then moves quickly to his forehead, and Titan vanishes.
"That was for me and Vegeta!" he remarks to the crowded pool side, whom are wondering about Beerus' sudden attack on the bloated dragon.
"The food in that Time chamber made us sick every day."
I said what I wanted to say at the beginning of the chapter, so I will say only one more thing.
PLEASE DON'T SMOKE!
Thank you, and stay tuned for the next installment.
