Remember those IQ killing events that I warned you about in the first chapter? Well one of those events lies in this chapter. It's not that bad so you might not even notice it. But if you do and you lose some IQ I apologize.
Mom: She likes to explore. She could get lost out there.
Dad: (giving Goku a wallet size photo) Calm down. Mr. Goku knows this place very well I'm sure. And Vee can take care of herself. I'm sure she's alright.
Goku: (leaves the building and flies toward the ship)
Chapter Two
In the forest
Vee: (thinking) The sun's setting. I gotta hurry before it gets too dark.
Random owl hoots
Vee: (more alert, speeds up her pace)
Leaves rustle
Vee: (scared) Who's there?
Wind blows softly
Snake runs past her foot
Vee: (gulps, hears growling, starts running)
Large animal like figure: ROOOOAAARRRR!
Vee: (screams, speeds up, looks behind her, sees an oversized bear)
Bear: (stops chasing her)
Vee: (stops running, looks at the bear)
Bear: (whines, runs away)
Vee: (even more afraid, starts backing up) That can't be good. (bumps into something)
Waaaa! (turns around too fast and loses her balance) Oof!
Unknown: Hello. You okay?
Vee: Yeah (rubs her head) I think so. Who are you?
Unknown: My name's Goku. You must be Veenie. (holds out his hand) Your parents are worried about you.
Vee: (waves his hand away, stands up and dusts herself off) If they're so worried about then why did they leave me behind?
Goku: Can't answer that one. But they're worried now. That's what counts.
Vee: I'm not so sure, but if you know where they are, could you take me to them?
Goku: No problem. (picks her up and takes her to the city)
Vee: I thought we were going to walk.
Goku: The forest is too dangerous to walk through. That bear you encountered was just the tip of the iceberg.
Vee: It was scared of you wasn't it?
Goku: So.
Vee: So, I could have just followed you through the forest and would have been safe.
Goku: Some of those animals down there are pretty bold. That bear already received a lesson from me a few weeks ago.(lands in the city, puts Vee down) Oh I almost forgot, Welcome to Téa.
Vee: (now in the light notices Goku's form, immediately changes attitude and shows respect) Thanks for saving me from that bear.
Goku: Don't mention it. Follow me. Quick!
Vee: (having trouble keeping up) Why are we running?
Random woman: Oh my gosh! It's him! It's Goku! Mr. Goku, hey over here!
Other women: (gather and begin chasing Goku) I want your autograph!…Kiss my daughter!…Forget her daughter kiss me, etc…
Vee: Never mind. I see why you're running.
Goku: (dodging women left and right, jumping over some in the process, and jets into the office building)
Fanatic women: I was so close…I found a strand of his fur on the ground!…Give me it!…No it's mine, etc…
Vee: (pushes her way through the women and enters the building)
Secretary: May I help you?
Goku: (from up-stairs) She's with me.
Secretary: Oh alright, go ahead.
Vee: (goes up the stairs) This may just be a wild guess, but I'd say you're pretty famous around here.
Mom: Vee! My poor baby! (squeezes)
Vee: (choking) Mom I can't breathe. And I'm not a baby anymore.
Mom: (lets go) Thank you so much Mr. Goku.
Vee: (gasping for air)
Dad: I finished the forms. (notices his daughter) Vee! Are you alright?
Vee: Dad, I'm fine.
Goku: She was only attacked by a very happy mom.(chuckles)
Dad: I'm glad to see that you're okay. Mr. Goku gave us a house. All we have to do is find a suitable spot for it. Wanna do the honors?
Vee: No thanks, Dad. Mom's gonna ending up changing the spot anyway. She always alters my choices.
Mom: (smiles)
Goku: (lightly sarcastic)Mom knows best.(laughs)
Dad: (rolls eyes)He's right you know.
Mom: Let's live near where you parked the ship.
Dad: Sounds great.
Goku: That's a perfect spot. It has a great view of the sunrise and sunset. I go there almost every day to watch them.
Vee: (under her breath) Whatever.
Dad: Thank you very much Mr. Goku. We'll be going now.
Goku: Okay.
Mom: Thank you. (to Vee) Vee, what do you say?
Vee: Thanks.
Later that night
Dad: Wow! This house is nice. You guys better come see the inside.
Mom: I love it! There's so much room. What do you think Vee?
Vee: (unenthusiastically) It's nice.
Goku: You need help moving in?
Vee: (surprised) I thought we left you in your office.
Goku: (grinning sheepishly) I like to know exactly where everyone lives.
Vee: (under her breath) Stalker.
Mom: (threatening tone) Veenie.
Vee: (whispering) We already told him where we'll be living. Can't he leave us alone already?
Mom: …
Dad: Your help will be appreciated.
Everyone: (brings boxes into the house)
Vee: (to herself) I'm glad Mom forgot about grounding me. (goes in her new room anyway, sets up her computer) Yay! Internet!
Mom: Thanks again for helping us.
Goku: No problem. I hope you love this planet. I've never had anyone leave yet.
Dad: (feeling awkward) Okay. See you later.
Goku: (salutes) Bye. (flies away)
Vee: (surfing) Man, there's nothing but stuff about Mr. Goku on this thing. I guess this sort of explains why the women are crazy about him. He's like a celebrity.
Message on monitor: Need training? Or do you want to learn new fighting techniques?
Click here.
Vee: Oh, what the heck. (clicks on message)
Monitor: Click here to join the next training class. It starts in two days.
Vee: Whoever put this website together is definitely short and to the point. (clicks to join)
Monitor: Give your name and you'll be expected to arrive at the gym near the west side of the forest.
Vee: That's not far from here. I'll join. I have nothing else to do anyway.
Mom: (yelling) Vee! Where did you put my home décor pictures and books?
Vee: (yelling back) The same box as last time and the time before.
Mom: I'm not kidding young lady. Now come show me that box.
Vee: Alright, give me a minute. (under her breath) Gosh. (quickly types her name and clicks join)
Monitor: Thanks for joining. See you in two days.
Mom: Vee!
Dad: Vee! Go help your mother.
Vee: I'm coming!
Mom: (whispering to Dad) You shouldn't refer to me as mother. That makes me sound old.
Dad: (rolls eyes)
The next morning, at sunrise, after very little sleep
Dad: (in his new lab, still organizing)
Mom: (organizing her photos and books)
Vee: (staring at the wall of her room awaiting another call for help)
Mom: Vee.
Vee: (jumps up and walks into the kitchen)
Mom: I don't know if there's anything to eat in here, but before your dad and I go, (looks out of a window toward the sunrise) why don't you go ask Mr. Goku if there are any bad people to look out for?
Vee: You're joking, right? You want me to disturb his view of the 'beautiful sunrise'?
Mom: (gives a threatening look)
Vee: Alright, alright. I'm going. (walks outside as quiet as possible)
Goku: (watching the rising sun, almost meditating)
Vee: (quietly approaches him)
Goku: (without turning around) Hey.
Vee: (freezes)
Goku: I didn't mean to scare you.
Vee: I'm not scared.
Goku: Of course not. So what brings you outside?
Vee: My mom wants me to ask you something. I personally think it's a stupid question, but here goes. Are there any bad people we should be on the look out for?
Vee does have a pretty bad attitude, but it's not really her fault. She can be a nice person, but she tries not to make many friends nowadays. Why? Well you'll have to continue reading to find out. Until next chapter, Roosha.
