"Cut! Perfect!" Bulma laughed. "The rivalry sells itself."
Goten, initially bewildered, found he enjoyed it. The comments were kind. One wrote: "Seeing Goten just be a normal (super-powered) kid makes me smile."
The afternoon sun baked the West City suburbs, but inside Capsule Corporation’s kitchen, it was a frosty paradise. Bulma Briefs, a glass of iced Bulma Milk (her own branded lactose-free line, naturally) in hand, scrolled through her tablet. The air hummed with the quiet efficiency of her latest invention: a holographic media editor.
