Vegeta had sank into a puddle of mud, thanks to that Hydro Pump she aggressively blasted into the ground. It was... honestly really relaxing...
"I dare you, Miss Vegeta," he said, calmly sipping a cup of tea he'd poured for himself, "to apologize to everyone you yelled at today. And give them each a big hug, for good measure! So everyone comes away from the party as friends."
It was a shame it was immediately overshadowed by her UNYIELDING
RAGE!!!
"
WHAT?!" Vegeta exploded, actually breaking out of her towel prison, caked with mud. "Are you
actually insane?"
"Are you chickening out of a dare?" Lil Goku asked, raising a brow. "That isn't like you at all."
"Maybe because the
dare is
to hug,
HIM! The Breadophob!
" Vegeta exclaimed, pointing a digit at Antares, "the cute mistress of
full of herself!" Violet, "Mr. Superhero Wannabe," Lance, "The duo of "scared of their own shadows!"" Gen and Lilly, "A human that I
will throw hands with, mark my words," Lillie, "the adorably naive one," Steplively, "and
you!"
Goku crossed her arms, shrugging and sitting down. "Then you better get to work, huh?"
Coming here was a mistake, that's just it. It was supposed to be, like, some chill getaway from home, but
noooooooo. Everyone had to have
feelings and
expect apologies, it was enough to make Vegeta gag! Now she had to
be nice to all of them?! What the hell! But, looking down at herself, Vegeta started to grin. At least she'd be able to stay somewhat on brand, she just needed a bit more mud. "You know what, I will. Just give me one second, hehehehe..."
Vegeta blasted the muddy soil with another Hydro Pump, mixing it into thick mud, and rolled around in it. She was more soil than fish at that point, which meant she was ready. With her pearly, jagged grin still visible, Vegeta trotted over to Antares and hopped up to his face to wrap him up in a little, muddy hug. "I'm
so sorry I brought to light how much of a
bitch you can be," she cooed, patting his snout to leave a bit more mud before she hopped off.
Next, after restocking on mud, Lance. She eyed the lucario up for a moment before jumping up to his shoulder, rubbing her muddy cheek against his. "Do forgive me for not giving a shit enough to ask for your help. I'm
sure you're a wonderfully
awful hero and all." To maximize her efforts, Vegeta got off by sliding down Lance's back, then shook herself off in case his friend was nearby.
One muddy dip later, and Vegeta was off to Violet. Thanks to their shortness, Vegeta could actually hug her, and hug she did. As tight as possible. Like being strangled by an angry bear after you tried to steal its salmon dinner. "Granny, I hope you can find it in your heart to pass over a light of forgiveness upon me!" Vegeta emphasized each word with a tighter squeeze, which only served to spread the mud further. She did, however, hold on a tiny bit longer than she intended, and gentler too. Vegeta let go, clearing her throat, patted Violet on the shoulder, and was off.
More Mud, then the tiny Oshawott and shaky Dewottle caught her attention. Vegeta actually had to wonder if she'd accidentally squeeze the both of them until they popped, which, uh, while brutal and cool, isn't exactly the thing she wanted to see or do or have bearing on her conscious for all her days. It was... weird giving an actually gentle hug, covered in mud... Vegeta really didn't like it. "Shakes and Tears, I am oh so sorry for how wimpy you both turned out. It's a shame, really, you'd probably be somewhat respectable if you had a backbone or two between the both of you."
Again, Vegeta paused before leaving. She gave Gen a pat on the head, and for a fraction of a fraction of a second, as the mud parted from her face, Vegeta gave a
somewhat soft expression.
Just before reaching Steplively, Vegeta took another mud bath. She hopped onto Steplively's back and kinda just... plopped ontop of him. It was a "hug" so it counted. "I'm sorry you never found the branch that said gullible on it, it's still out there, by the way, I saw it over there, past the updog." She nodded in multiple directions before hopping off the goat.
The penultimate victi--, I mean, hug recipient, Lillie. "What a
nice outfit you have, I should say," Vegeta mentioned with a devious grin, shining through her muddy, dirty exterior. She quickly jumped directly into Lillie's arms, "slipping" a bit, and climbing up to her shoulders to wrap her arms around Lillie's neck. It took every ounce of strength
not to flip this frail human girl over. "I am just
sooooo very sorry you and I didn't get to know each other without Goku here to reel me back. I would
love to take you out for a swim, but mud is fine to, isn't it?"
Finally, Goku. It took the Riolu a second to realize that she was, indeed, next. But it was a second too late, since Vegeta already tackled her into the pile of mud in a powerfully tight hug. "G-GAHHH! V-Vegeta! My fur!!!"
"I'm sorry for being such a pain, Goku!" Vegeta laughed, malicious. "Could you
ever forgive me, my closest friend?"
"I will
dry you out if you don't get off me this instant!" Goku cried out, trying and failling to get the Muddy Kip off her.
"Oh, that's right, you hate getting dirty, how could I forget?" Vegeta said, giving an innocent smile and batting her eyes. "Let me help you!"
"Wait NO! NOT WATE--" Goku was blasted by a Hydro Pump, which only got more mud on her. Dazed, the Riolu stared mindless into the sky, a dull, soulless groan rolling out of her chest.
Proud of herself, Vegeta shook off the rest of the mud and grinned. "There! I did your stupid dare! Now who's next, cuz I got a
good few dares for a few of you bozos."
