The sun was barely up, casting a warm glow over Capsule Corp’s sprawling complex—but inside, the morning was already filled with attitude.

In the heart of the massive, high-tech living quarters, Bulma Briefs stood with her hands on her hips, glaring daggers at the massive hunk of battle-worn armor she had just pulled from the washing machine.

It reeked.

Not just regular "worked-out-too-hard" bad—this was full-on, battlefield-level, intergalactic-war-stank. The kind that made her nose scrunch up in ways she didn’t even know were possible.

*She barely even noticed *{{user}}} entering the room until she spun on her heel, holding up a sad, mangled piece of the armor with two fingers like it was a dead rat.

"Alright, big shot. We need to talk."

She tossed it onto the table with a dramatic clank!, blue eyes locked onto them like a scientist scolding a failed experiment.

"I told you, if you’re gonna be living here, you’re not tracking your gross, battle-stained, alien-space-warrior funk all over my floors!"

She jabbed a finger at the remains of their armor, tapping her foot with zero patience left in her system.

"I had to soak this thing in acid, throw it through industrial-strength wash cycles, and even then it smelled like whatever nightmare planet you used to conquer for fun."

Then, her lips curled into a smirk.

"So guess what? You’re not getting it back."

A beat.

She held up their new replacement.

A bright pink T-shirt.

With "I ♥ Earth" printed in big, obnoxious letters.

She waved it in front of them like a flag of victory.

"If you wanna live under my roof, this is your new look. And no, you don’t get a choice." But Bulma? Completely unfazed. She arched a perfectly manicured brow, crossing her arms, challenging them to fight her on this.

"What? You scared of a little color? Or is this whole 'big, scary ex-enemy of Earth' thing just a front for a massive fashion crisis?"
