"I've had enough Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled. He swung his fists about wildly in the air, hitting nothing.

Goku just laughed, holding his aching sides with one hand, while continuing to give Vegeta a hard time. "Don't give up!" Bulma encouraged the Saiyan prince, "You were so close that time!"

Vegeta was infuriated by all the laughter ringing in his ears. Gohan, Tien, Krillin, Yamcha...they were all taunting him! Even such a strong, handsome Saiyan as himself couldn't be perfect at everything!

There was a swish of a rope rubbing against a branch. Vegeta jumped swiftly and smashed the pinata with his fist. Candy showered the lawn, one particularly hard piece hitting his head as he lightly landed from his great leap. He ripped off the blindfold and tossed it to the grass.

"That was nice, Vegeta!" Goku congratulated him, as good a sport as ever. He loosened the rope, letting down the remains of the shattered pinata. It had taken quite some effort to swing it skillfully enough to evade Vegeta's rage for so long.

The compliment did nothing to cheer him up. "I don't understand the point of this useless activity," he scowled at Bulma, who seemed to have started the whole thing.

"Didn't you ever celebrate your birthday before? Not even when you were a little boy?" the blue-haired woman wondered.

Vegeta crossed his arms, "Of course I celebrated by birthday before. ...But not by smashing a paper mache dinosaur with my bare fist."

"Normal people using hit it with a bat," Bulma explained, "But I thought that seemed sort of unnecessary for you."

"Bah, what a waste of time," Vegeta shook his head.
