Reunion

Nodding to Cabasa's question of who Kaci was, the Saiyan explained; "Yeah! She's my best friend. Our moms are best friends too and live right across the street from each other, so we've known each other our whole lives. She isn't very strong, but she's super smart. She's the one who made me this watch." Showing off her high tech Great Saiyagirl insta-change watch, the Saiyan grinned.

"With the press of a button, I can become the Great Saiyagirl. Another button, and I become Gira again. I still don't know how it works, but i'm not too good with stuff like that. All I know is that it works exactly like I wanted it to." Gira's face then lit up with excitement at the mention that Zuci was also a Fight of Fantasy fan. Though she insisted that they were not connecting over this, the young Saiyan smiled softly.

"Didn't say we were. Do you think we are?" She teased. Even though her rival and friend insisted-- twice, even-- that she was not trying to connect with her over a shared interest, the teen couldn't help but feel a connection regardless.

"Fight of Fantasy X was a ton of fun. I've got all the games, so we should play when I get the game room set up! Did ya ever beat it? What did you think of the final boss?" She was careful to avoid spoilers. She still had a desire to change Cabasa's mind on video games, and Fight of Fantasy X might be a good introduction. At Zuci's explanation to Cabasa of what a video game is, Gira nodded.

"Yup, that pretty much covers it. I get kinda competitive with online games, and not in a fun way. So that's why I prefer single player stuff." She chuckled before switching gears to explain to her Mazoku sister why she liked video games when she mentioned they sounded like a waste of time.

"You sound like my grandpa." She laughed with amusement as she playfully punched Cabasa's shoulder.

"I like stories, I guess. And well-written characters. I understand that if you don't like that stuff, it can be a waste of time. But I find it to be a nice escape from the problems of the real world. It's nice to forget about the stuff i've got going on and just immerse myself in some other place in another world." Turning next to Zuci, she tried her best to explain what a musical was.

"It's like a movie, but with music." Realizing that this explanation was likely insufficient, she continued.

"Like, imagine a movie where the characters sing and dance. That's what a musical is. I used to like it because the idea of someone breaking into song in real life was kinda funny. But now i've learned to really appreciate it. The Phantom of the Opera was probably the first time I really appreciated a musical the way the people who made it intended. I watched a live performance of it once at a theater in South City. The guy playing the phantom had a pretty voice. And, like any good love story, there's a love triangle. It's really exciting. Way better live than on TV. Maybe the three of us can go sometime! I like introducing people to musicals. Especially the best ones." It had been awhile since Gira had the chance to just chill out and talk with friends without the specter of death or some other solemn task hanging over them. It was a lot of fun, and Gira kind of missed it. She had very few moments of levity since she left Planet Earth. For a moment, she even forgot about the responsibility on her shoulders. She hoped that, regardless of what happened in the future, that the three of them remained friends.

TWC: 4495

...Zuci was glad she could claim herself as being self-educated; being honest, did most of the Saiyan populace know what a street was? All they really had were dirty roads and just about everyone could fly, so. Still, it seemed nice to just have a person that enjoyed your company enough for gift making and the like. It was only a recent event that Zuci found people she could call allies much less friends; just about all her life has been her striving to be better than the people she swears she just about hates after all. Enough self reflection though-

"The Great... Did you just combine the words 'Saiyan' and 'Girl' together? That's... Never mind." She didn't even have it in her to bully Gira for the lack of creativity; honestly, it was so on the nose Zuci didn't even feel upset at it. Just...baffled. Her confused expression would almost immediately be replaced with a forced look of indifference though when Gira thought it'd be funny to insinsuate something.

"...We're not. I just know you'd probably try to because you're so disgustingly and annoyingly positive about everything. And of course I beat it, I'm me! Wasn't particulary hard." Zuci said as she looked at her fingernails; she left out the part where the story ending had her blowing her nose into a tissue, but they would never know that. Her eyes did light up a bit at the implication of playing with others. "What, like...competitive games with more than one person? I suppose-"

Cabasa beat her to the punch before she could say it.

"...I suppose I might enjoy the chance of humbling the both of you in a competitive game or two. Not as a bonding experience, just another thing to establish my superior self in."

Gira then decided to give Zuci a wordy explanation on a musical. She knew what a movie was so that helped her point of reference. Ah... Imagining it was a little weird, but she more or less understood it. Maybe it wasn't her thing, but it couldn't hurt to give it a try one day right? Zuci nodded as she turned to Cabasa with a frown on her face. 

"People only think I'm an 'asshole' because they can't stand to see their superior expressing themselves in such a manner that befits them; that goes for the clownish, 'Elite' Saiyans here as well. My pretty face is moisturized and hydrated well, thank you."

"...I'd appreciate it if the 'your' in the sentence didn't imply the topic of it is me, thanks. But yes, I agree on all points. Even people who live on the same planet as you can have dastardly intentions. I of course will deal with them once I become a Super Saiyan. In fact, when I do reach that beautifully majestic and beyond divine golden glow, I'm never going to turn it off! I'll be in it so much I forget how to turn it off!" Zuci excited put her hands to her cheeks and shook from side to side, clearly enraptured by the thought.

"Maybe," Zuci said with stars in her eyes, "I'll be in it for so long that I'll be the first to achieve a transformation even beyond the Super Saiyan! Did you know there are rumors about such a thing actually? In fact," Zuci began to go on a tangent quite literally no one asked for, "due to the seemingly infinite and limitless potential we Saiyans possess as a species, it's often been theorized that someone who has achieved the status of a Super Saiyan could break into a higher tier of power and go even further beyond! ...Well, this is all just my own theory- I have a corkboard in my room. Still, it doesn't make sense for us to just stop there does it? I'll just have to be the first to prove my own theory like the ground-breaking, charming, illustrious, intelligent, supremely powerful prodigy goddess that I am!"

Zuci got out a few more exciting giggles before clearing her throat and shaking the excitement out of her limbs. "What I can learn from this other tiny Saiyan here," she says in response to Cabasa, "is how better to prove my theory! When I turn Super Saiyan, you'd better fight me every hour of every minute of every day! I want to make history before I'm twenty-five, no sooner than that. You know what? New goal- We'll make being a Super Saiyan seem basic in comparison before we hit twenty-five, how's that sound? And you..." Zuci turned to Cabasa with a smug grin.

"You're a lot stronger than most of our populace since they've gotten lazy, and definitely a lot stronger than a lot of Namekians I sensed on Namek when I went there! But you're gonna have to pick up something new faaast- When I put my mind towards getting something, rest assured it'll be mine! A new form of Saiyan and a galaxy under my heel, just imagine it!"

...

"Not that that's something I plan on doing!" She added. "Just a fun thought to have! Although Zuci, Emperor of the Galaxy sounds much better than Zuci, Emperor of Plant. Plus, there'd be more people to worship me... Hm..." Zuci put a finger to her chin as she genuinely considered the action solely for the change in title. "We'll workshop the plan when we get there, never mind. Alright, are we done chatting now? Not that this place gets more or less dangerous depending on the time of day- Not like it'd matter to the three of us- But I've got to set up this little brat's training regimen when I have some time alone." Zuci stubbornly put a bit of strength into a flick she aimed at the side of Gira's head. "And to get you two set up somewhere of course. ...And maybe I'll come over to see what the other games in the series are like that we are not going to connect over. At all."
