Video:

[The feed snaps on to reveal a concerned looking Goku, glancing behind him a few times before speaking. He seems to be in the Habitat.]

I think I might need a little help with this one.

[He turns the Warp Band, showing the image of his Volbeat. Sitting under a sprinkler and looking depressed. When the sprinkler stops, it picks itself up with great effort, lumbers over to another sprinkler, and sits underneath it, letting the water pour on it.]

He's been doing that all day. When one sprinkler stops, he just moves to the next. I think he's depressed. I tried talking to him, but all he does is look at me like he's about to die or something. I've never seen him so sad, I thought everything was going great! He's usually really happy... He doesn't train because he's way too concerned with going out on dates, and he's been going out on a ton of them! But I think the last girl he went on a date with really dropped it hard on him.

I don't get it. [He scratches his head in confusion.]

Action:

[The Volbeat in question is headed home after his 150th failed date. His little buggy hand slides across a wall as he drags himself home, bent over with sadness. He can't believe this happened again.

No girl wants to date a loser like him.

He starts eating some of the comfort food he'd taken from the date. He knew he'd need it.

The poor guy looks like he's had a bad night. He takes the wrapper of his food and chucks it behind him, not caring if it hit anyone or not. Bleh.]

[He claps his hands a few times, looks to Goku and then grabs the Warp Band right out of his hands.]

H-Hey!

Volbeat! Volbeat Volbeat Vol! Vol Vol!

[I'll be right over. That's okay, right? I'll make your whole collection of towels looking fantastic! Bye, Goku, thanks!]

What do you mean you're going over to her house?!

I-I better clean up then!

[WHAT DOES SHE DO IN THIS SITUATION. Her place is kind of a mess -- does she have clean towels -- yes, yes she does they're over there, okay, good. Yes.]

[B-But doesn't the Volbeat need Goku's permission!]

Wait! Stop! [He cries as Volbeat tosses the Warp Band back to Goku.] You don't even know where she lives!

[HE'S GOT TO SAVE ESTELLE FROM A CERTAIN TOWEL FOLDING DOOM]

[But the bug does stop. Oh. That's a good point. He waddles back over to the Warp Band and Goku.]

Beat Vol? [Where...do you live again?]

Uhhh....he....wants.....to know where you live....Estelle....

Ehehehehehhhhhh....

[...b-but... she can't break his heart. She stares like a deer in headlights for a second, before she blurts out:]

The C Block, in the housing near the industrial area, unit 223?

[Okay! See you in a few minutes!] Volbeat! Vol Vol!

[Goku tried, badly, but to no avail. He couldn't save her. Estelle will be doomed to a life of professional towel folding. He guesses if...she wanted to...and it'll make his Volbeat happy, then that's fine! But he doesn't think they're going to have as much fun as Volbeat thinks they are...]

You....two have fun then! [He says as Volbeat trots off. He'd be over soon, but there will be a few minutes before he gets there. He turns back to the Warp Band, looking a tad bit worried.]

Are you sure about this?

[Not in the slightest, but...]

[She smiles, good-naturedly, and shrugs her shoulders. If Estelle can do anything, it's roll with whatever punches life throws her way. She'll manage. Somehow.]

Don't worry about it! Maybe it'll cheer him up and everything's back to normal, right?

Yeah! I guess that's true. He has been really down and needs a picker-uper. But man! Towel folding? I didn't even know he liked that kinda thing! Chi-Chi mighta taught him that one.

[She does like a clean house, after all.]

Maybe you can talk him into cleaning your house!

[She blinks. Her place is a mess, really. Maybe... this will work to her benefit!]

That'd be a big help, actually!

He's a pretty hardworking guy, he just doesn't train! He likes working on his hobbies a lot instead.

[He's sure if Volbeat had a job that had an income, he'd be great at it.]

You could probably convince him. If he likes folding towels, I bet he's got an art for dusting, too.

I guess he's just not much of a fighter, then? That's okay. I have a few who aren't.

Yeah, not really. He's a little more interested in going on dates than training.

[KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK]

Eeeehhhh!! I think he's there now!

Kyaah, yeah! All right, Goku, I better go! I'll let you know how everything goes!

[She waits long enough for a reply, before she flips the warp band off. Onward, to CLEANLINESS.]

Good luck! [He means that. It's not going to be pretty...]

[The Volbeat waits happily outside of Estelle's door, ready to show her the finer art of towel folding and will probably be duped into cleaning the whole house for her.

He's so excited he's shaking.]
