Just Another Chance

Chapter 3

"So this is who you'd rather talk to than your wife on her birthday." Bulma said as she walked up some steps. "You gonna introduce me at least."

"Oh uh Bulma, this is Lord Beerus and uh..." Vegeta said.

"Please madam call me Whis." He said, bowing in respect.

"Oh, so you guys are old friends huh? Well I'm Bulma, Vegeta's wife slash birthday girl." Bulma says as she walks closer to the two. "Don't I look great?"

"Pleasure to meet you Bulma." Whis and Beerus said simultaneously.

"Wow, since when did you make friends with guys that have such good manners?" She asked Vegeta. "Oh I see, you must be aliens from another world." Bulma said.

Vegeta couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed Bulma and tried to usher her back down the steps. "Okay! Bye!"

"We were vacationing in a nearby galaxy and happened to sense Prince Vegeta's energy." Beerus said.

"Vacation? Well stick around and see how we Earthlings like to party. There's two others here that aren't from Earth too. I'm sure they'd love to meet you." Bulma said, as Vegeta continued to try to get her back down the steps.

"Really now? That's interesting. But I would hate to impose on your party. But..." Beerus said, putting a claw on his chin. "History does show I'm not one to turn down a spread of food as delicious smelling as that one. " Beerus said.

"Go for it boys! Come on let's turn this mother up a notch! Woo!" Bulma said, as Whis and Beerus followed her back down the steps.

Vegeta, nervously sweating, wiped some of it off his forehead, relieved that the crisis seemed to be averted. For now anyway.

But, just to be safe, he had to keep a close eye out. Beerus and Whis were greatly enjoying themselves in the party along with the others. Outside of a couple of scares with a drunk Hercule challenging Beerus and Gohan, Trunks, and seemingly his "girlfriend" according to Trunks' words and her friends with a gun, everything was fine. Of course, outside of the fact that Videl got shot. But even that was fixed with Dende's healing.

But another wrinkle unbeknownst to Vegeta was Towa and Mira. Towa, after learning about the Bingo for the Dragon Balls, was now intrigued, saying that things just got more interesting. Of course, Mira and Towa entered the bingo contest too. Something that Mira didn't mind as he wanted to win. Not just for the Dragon Balls, but to once again have a way to prove that he was the best. Even in a game of bingo.

Vegeta had just recently finished dancing on stage, singing Bingo to calm Beerus down after he was hit by a stray bullet from Gohan deflecting them. For Vegeta, it was embarrassing. Even Towa tried to hold in a giggle. And if there was one thing that Vegeta hated was tarnishing his pride. But he also loved being alive a whole lot more.

"I couldn't have made a bigger fool of myself. But it seemed to have worked in calming him down. All I have to do is keep him in a good mood, and persuade him to leave." Vegeta thought.

"I'm so close." Piccolo said looking at his bingo card.

As the Bingo game goes on, the next number was 28.

"28!" Bulma called out.

"What!" Piccolo said.

"Anyone with bingos yet? Anyone close?" Bulma said.

"Stupid Earth games!" Piccolo said balling up the paper and throwing it on the ground.

"What? Impossible! There's no way I could lose!" Mira said. He was one away from winning vertically. All he needed was 26.
