Chapter 2: Outplayed
The moment the Saiyan and ex-android entered the hotel lobby out of sight from Maron and Goten, Eighteen quickly shook her wrist out of the Saiyan's grip. Taking a few steps backward, young mother desperately tried to compose herself. Is she seriously about to enter a swimsuit shop and let this idiot pick a bathing suit for her? He's already a grandfather while she's a mom for kami's sake.
"What's the matter Eighteen? We really should get going, you don't want to keep the kids waiting for long now do you?" rang the damned Saiyan's voice still calm as ever trying to play it innocent and cool, well I am not about to let this poorly executed plot dictate me today thought Eighteen.
"Listen Goku, just because I'll let you buy me a swimsuit doesn't mean I'll be wearing anything revealing. In fact I plan on getting the most conservative grandma-like one piece I can find mind you." Snapped back Eighteen in an icy tone only to be met with one of the Saiyan's goofy smiles. Unconvinced by his acts, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and tried her best to stare down on the tall Saiyan.
"Now now Eighteen, don't be so sensitive. All I wanted was to help you get a swimsuit for this vacation. You don't want to let Goten and Marron down now do you?" asked Goku still trying to sound as innocent as possible, earning him a raised eyebrow, telling him that she wasn't going to make this easy.
"And besides, just what age do you think we are living in right now anyways? The most conservative bathing suits you will get from a fancy hotel like this are bikinis." teased Goku unable to hide his smirk anymore. He could see her eyes widening ever so slightly and her cheeks flushed ever so beautifully once again. "We all know you are looking forward to this as much as I am Eighteen, so drop the act already". Muttered Goku quietly to himself before grabbing her by the wrist once more and dragged her to their destination.
"Hello and welcome to Snake's Swimsuit. Just how can help this lovely young couple today?" rang a cheerful voice the moment they entered the shop, making Eighteen cringe a bit at the mention of couple as she quickly drew a safe distance from her male companion.
"Yeah, I'd like to have a one piece that covers up my skin well thank you." stated Eighteen without so much as looking at the shop attendant. She could hear both the damned Saiyan and the female attendant chuckling and quickly spun around to give them a piece of her mind but quickly stopped when she saw the attendant's exposed covered in blue skin right down to her toes.
"Is that even natural?" blurted out Eighteen without a thought as she stared blankly at the strangely colored woman in front of her. It's true that she has seen some weirdly colored humanoids, take the Namekian for example, but no matter how she looks at it, the puffy brown haired blue skinned woman doesn't appear to be of extraterritorial origin. Looking around at the shop she could tell the other girls all sport the same skin tone and hair color.
"Oh you mean this skin tone my dear?" questioned the blue haired woman chuckling once more. "This, my dear is perfectly natural and why, don't you find these magnificent blue skin suits me well?" questioned the woman without a slight bit of concern regarding Eighteen's bluntness as she stretched out her arms to show off her so called magnificent blue skin. As she talked the blonde woman could make out what appears to be two pointed fangs inside of her mouth. This together with the scaley green dress the woman was wearing made her look like a humanoid snake.
"But anyways back to the topic of your one piece. As you can see we have stopped selling those antiques some time ago, but I can assure you the Snake's Swimsuit still contains some of the finest two pieces." Said the snake like woman proudly as she stepped sideways showing the various suits they have.
To say that these suits are two pieces is giving them too much credits thought Eighteen, as her mind went blank at the collection of bikinis there are. If she was blushing when they left the water park, then it's safe to say she is having a life threatening fever now as the red on her face rivals her pink jumpsuit that she is wearing.
"Looks like you got quite a good selection here. Care to give us some recommendations?" said Goku before Eighteen had a chance to bail herself out.
"Well what is your intention of coming here today? Judging from the rings on your hands, I'd say the two of you are a married couple? Care to try out some of our honeymoon special suits?" questioned the snake woman as she winked at Eighteen causing the blonde woman's stomach to turn at the suggestion.
"Hell no we are not. We are both married with kids and this dumbass here has just become a grandpa not too long ago." Shouted Eighteen unable to take the sheer amount of crap anymore. If she was dreaming about Goku back at the pool now she's cringing more than she ever has in her entire life at the woman's behavior.
"Alright easy easy, just making sure okay? In fact we have just the right swimsuit for you." replied the blue skinned woman laughing off the awkward situation she caused before quickly producing what looks like a pink bikini.
"Why don't you give this a try? The color pink really compliments your blue eyes well and covers all the necessary parts well that I think you will like it." said the snake woman before shoving the pink suit into Eighteen's hands who raised her eyebrows at the bikini which is really just strings attached to triangular shaped fabrics.
"You do have something better than this right?" asked Eighteen administering her famous death glare at the sinfully joyful attendant in front of her who appears to be unfazed.
"Better in what way?" asked the snake woman eyeing Eighteen teasingly. "If the pink bikini doesn't suit you perhaps this will." And with it she took out a red metallic string bikini with a thong for a bottom and began snickering as Eighteen quickly spun around, her face red once again as she rushed to the dressing room with the pink bikini in hand.
The Saiyan and the snake woman watched as the dressing room door slammed shut before letting out a chuckle at the same time. "She's cute isn't she? Just what exactly is your plan for bringing a married woman with you here, Goku?" asked the snake haired woman, her eyes showing obvious signs of lust as she began checking the tall Saiyan up and down as if trying to imprint his masculine figure into her mind.
"Why nothing special, Princess Snake. Just taking our kids to the water park that's all" replied Goku back at her with a smirk which convinced no one at all but he simply doesn't care. "What brings the deity of snake ways to Earth anyways? Tired of flirting with man's souls and decided to come down here to try the real thing?" asked Goku completely dropping his cheerful demeanor.
Covering her mouth with her hands, the snake goddess tried to stifle her laughter at Goku's words. Walking towards the Saiyan warrior promiscuously, she encircled her arms around Goku's neck and pulled him down towards her. "Oh Goku, I always knew you are a player even when I first met you all those years ago. You may look innocent, but beneath that well cultivated façade lies a womanizing self that you didn't even knew you possessed back then." said Princess Snake staring into his brown eyes that she's always admired so much. "But now that you have unlocked your new ultra instinct form, your Saiyan self that has been dormant for ages is finally showing itself." stated the snake woman while licking her lips.
"But tell me though Goku, what is so attractive about that blonde woman? Sure she's hot and all but is married and with a daughter already. Why go through the trouble when you know that I am always available, not to mention eternal?" whispered Princess Snake into Goku's ears, her body now pressed against his naked muscular broad chest.
"If this is the reason why you are trying to sabotage my plan by pissing her off intentionally I highly recommend you to stop." warned Goku as he grabbed the snake woman's arms and giving them a tight squeeze. "After all, I am sure you know how determined Saiyans are at getting what they want, and nothing is going to prevent me from getting my prize." Stated Goku as matter of factly to which the Snake Goddess merely closed her eyes and chuckled.
"Oh don't worry my love, all I wanted was to see you happy. That's why I hid all the one piece swimsuits the moment I noticed you love birds. And now good luck claiming that prize!" said Princess Snake giving Goku one last wink before pulling away from him just in time just as Eighteen emerged from the dressing room.
"By kami's name!" said Goku unable to stop himself from gawking at the sight.
If Eighteen had looked beautiful when she was in that pink jump suit now she looks absolutely stunning in the pink string bikini. The top was half a size too small, encasing her breasts tightly within the pink triangular material while the bottom hugs tightly against her pussy showing off her folds ever so slightly. He may be quite annoyed at Princess Snake for all her unnecessary teasing, now he actually feels very grateful towards her.
Eighteen exited the dressing room with her pink jump suit, feeling practically naked in the pink bikini as it only covers the absolutely necessary part of her body.
"Hmph, so this is what she meant by necessary part." thought the blonde woman. Looking at the drooling Saiyan in disgust, she quickly covered herself up with the pink jump suit in her hands when the blasted snake lady suddenly came walking towards her. Grabbing a hold of the pink jumpsuit, the blue skinned woman quickly snatched the clothing away giving the Saiyan once more an unobstructed look at her figure.
"My my, look at you! What a beauty you are my dear, why bother hiding that gorgeous body of yours?" exclaimed Princess Snake. "Don't you think your friend here is just stunning too?" asked her towards the Saiyan, who could only manage to nod as he was too focused on admiring her beauty.
"Why…yes of course I also think the suit looks very good on you Eighteen, it was a perfect match." Goku finally mumbled it out after recovering from the shock of how good she looked.
"See, I told you I am good at picking bathing suits." said Princess Snake as she bumped her elbow against Goku's arm. "Now if you are all set, the price for the swimsuit will be 100,000 zeni." continued the snake woman cheerfully.
"Wait 100,100 zeni?" asked Goku looking at Princess Snake with wide eyes.
"Why yes, that high quality suit is the best we got. Elegant, durable, and very sexy." said Princess Snake again with her trademark sly smirk. At this time Goku isn't sure if the Snake Goddess is simply trying to troll him or to destroy his plan when suddenly the snake woman grabbed him by his arm and yanked him towards her. "Trust me, it is well worth it at the end." whispered her into his ears.
Eighteen's head is spinning out of control by now. Sure it's good to see how insanely overpriced the suit is just to see the Saiyan hurt but this decides how she will spend the remaining of this afternoon for kami's sake. Call it a hunch or an intuition, but she somehow gets a sense that Goku knows the snake woman and while it does not look like the two are in on a plan together, the way these two have been acting this afternoon has proven to be worrisome at best.
"Alright Eighteen, I am done paying for the swimsuit now, what do you say we go back to meet up with Marron and Goten? I am sure those two would love to see your new outfit." came Goku's voice still trying to play dumb, to which Eighteen simply rolled her eyes as she began surveying the shop. Finally her eyes sparkled as if she had found what she has been looking for.
"Hey, this one is for sale too now is it?" asked Eighteen as she pulled out what looks like a diver's suit.
"Oh that one, yeah it's for sale but I don't think it would look good on you at the pool." muttered Princess Snake completely off guard at the blonde woman's reaction. Goku was also staring at his blonde companion bewilderedly; something in his stomach tells him this isn't going where he wants it to go.
"Perhaps, but we've been thinking about going diving in the sea aren't we Goku?" questioned Eighteen trying to mimic the fake smile the Saiyan has been giving her this whole afternoon, her tone cheerful and yet cold at the same time, as if telling the Saiyan she either gets the whole set or the whole deal is off.
"Well…uhh…yeah, that is exactly what we are planning to do." said Goku scratching his head.
"In that case then I had better go try this out, now you will pay this for me if I like it will you?" said the blonde woman, her icy blue eyes staring straight into the brown eyes of the Saiyan who was coerced into nodding quietly by her commanding tone without much of a choice.
"Good, I will be right back." finished the blonde woman as she walked towards the dressing room once again, this time with a confident smirk. Goku, with his plan failing miserably was forced to watching as much of her bikini clad body as possible for one last time as she disappeared behind closed doors.
"Now who could have expected that? Clever girl!" admitted Princess Snake with her hand on her chin.
"So you are smart enough to hide those one piece swimsuits before our arrival, why couldn't you simply hide the diving suits as well?" questioned Goku trying to suppress his Saiyan rage at the snake goddess, which is becoming increasingly difficult following the awakening of his ultra-instinct.
"Oh come on Goku, I may be a goddess but I cannot predict every single action of your lady friend now can I?" snapped Princess Snake back. "If anything be happy that you get to see a lot more skin than you ever could today."
Before Goku could find something smart to talk back the dressing room door opened as Eighteen came out all clad in a black diving suit from neck to toe.
"I'd say I look fabulous now don't you think?" asked Eighteen eyeing the two confidently, even spinning to around just to let them have a good look of the diving suit and that her entire body is indeed covered thoroughly.
"Why yes it suits you perfectly." commented Princess Snake with Goku muttering something along the lines of it looks alright.
"Great, now kindly pay for both the swimsuit and the diving suit for me will you Goku? I have to go join Marron and Goten at the pool, they must be worried about us for been gone for so long." said Eighteen mockingly at the Saiyan before running off back to the children, leaving Goku to look at her with his mouth wide open in disbelief.
"And that will be 50,000 yen more." rang the snake goddess's voice from behind adding injury upon injury.
