Chapter Two: The Prank
--At Morutaka High School for Boys...--
"I don't see the point of this exercise, Kakkarot." Vegeta grumbled as he carried a large bucket of water into the room the other two boys were in, working away at preparations for the practical joke they were to play on the staff the following morning, during the welcome assembly for the girls who were to join their school the following day. Goku and Krillin were in the assembly hall, as well as Vegeta, who'd just come in, and it was already well after the time that everyone else, including even the janitorial staff members, had gone home. They'd somehow managed to stay there without being seen.
"Just to have some fun, and show the girls what we're made of. That we're unpredictable, too, and that we have a sense of humor." Krillin said, tying two wooden poles together. Goku nodded, then wrapped masking tape around the poles as a reinforcement. "We are going to have the whole school laughing by the end of the assembly," he assured his more serious friend.
"Alright, then. So this is a mere trick to increase your social status'?" Vegeta deduced.
"No, we're just--"
"Looking for ways to earn yourself a year's worth of detention, like that idiot Yamcha?" Vegeta cut Krillin off.
"No! We just want to have some fun!" Krillin said, handing two more poles alike the one he and Goku had constructed to Vegeta. The proud male took the three poles, and began to shimmy his way up the sturdy, almost hardened curtains of the stage before the auditorium, and placed the poles over a set of cameras and then back down, jumping to the floor halfway down the curtains and landing gracefully. "Fine, have it your way. Where are the hooks?" Vegeta asked.
"Here," Goku handed Vegeta three silver hooks for yet another pole, and a banner to hang on, as well as the bucket of water.
--At Bulma's House...--
"Bye, Bulma! See you tomorrow!" Eighteen waved as she walked down the street and around the corner, to her own house. Bulma waved out the door, Chi-Chi standing beside her, waving good-bye as well. Bulma shut the door after Eighteen was out of sight, and she made her way into the living room, Chi-Chi following behind.
"I can't believe your dad let you sleep over on a school night!" Bulma high-fived her friend.
"Well, he is pretty superstitious, and when I told him it was for good luck tomorrow in school, he totally bought it, and said okay right off the bat." Chi-Chi explained her earlier telephone conversation with her father for permission to stay the night at Bulma's house. He'd allowed her after hearing the appealing statement, totally unaware of the fact that it would most likely cause them more bad luck than good as they would stay up late talking, then come to school tired, and lower their marks.
"Nice." Bulma said. "So, what do you think is going to happen tomorrow?" She asked.
"I don't know. I just hope I don't get too lost in a school I have to know my way around right away..." Chi-Chi said.
"Me too. Why don't we study the school maps again?" Bulma suggested, pulling out her copy of the booklet they'd been given.
"Okay." Chi-Chi sat at the table, across from her friend, and flipped to the page of the first map. "Where is class 1-B?"
--At Vegeta's House...--
"You're finally home?" Vegeta's father asked as he walked into the door at five o'clock. "What took you so long?"
"I had a project to work on," Vegeta lied, walking straight upstairs.
"You have any notices for me?"
"No."
"Alright. Dinner's at eight. Be on time."
"Fine." Vegeta dragged himself into his upstairs bedroom, throwing his backpack on his bed, and flopping down beside it. "I can't believe I am going to have to put up with females coming to my school. If I have to talk to any of them, I swear, I will--"
"Vegeta, get down here and do your chores!"
"Whatever, father, I'll be right there!"
"Don't you whatever me, get down here!"
"I'm coming!" Vegeta groaned, getting off his bed and going back downstairs.
--At Morutaka High School for Boys...--
"Welcome, please report to the assembly hall, down that corridor and to your left." A male teacher shook Bulma's hand as she led her group of three in through the front doors of the new school. "Thanks," she said, following a crowd of other girls and boys towards where the teacher had directed. She shifted the pink bag on her backpack, and grabbed Chi-Chi's hand in the midst of the crowd. "Grab Eighteen, we might get separated in this mob otherwise!" She said. They eventually made their way to a few empty seats in a middle row.
"Good morning, students!" Tanaka-sensei walked onto the stage, and bowed politely to his students. The girls and boys chimed back a hello, and Tanaka-sensei began to go over the school policies and rules.
"I can't wait for the big surprise, he should find it any minute!" Goku elbowed Krillin. On the other side of Goku sat Vegeta, who'd taken his place there unwillingly. Goku had insisted though, as they were all partners in crime, now. So Vegeta sat with the other perpetrators, and smirked in anticipation as Tanaka-sensei paced the front of the room, where the bait had been set carefully and in an ingenious manner.
"Neither can I," Krillin nudged Goku back.
"And finally, students, our school goal. We will strive for excellency and profound--what's this?" Tanaka-sensei stopped the speech he had been giving, and lifted a string that he'd found hanging from the ceiling. Giving it a light tug, the three boys in the back row sucked in a deep breath, and were prepared to face their doom that would come after the catastrophe occurred.
"What the--" A bucket of water mixed with blue power, making a thick, blue dye, poured over Tanaka-sensei's head, and, after the bucket had emptied, it fell off the balancing pole, tugging down with it a large banner that read 'I got pranked!' in large, bold red letters. The entire student body, and some of the staff, even, burst out laughing.
"I have a feeling we're going to like this school, Chi!" Bulma laughed, pointing at the blue headmaster.
"Me too!" Eighteen had given up on keeping a straight face, and was almost in tears from the laughter.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Tanaka-sensei screamed, looking at the banner. He ripped it down from the hooks, only to have three masking taped poles fall on his head, one after the other.
"Ha, a bonus round!" Krillin snickered.
"That wasn't part of the plan!" Vegeta shrieked. They were going to get it for sure, and Vegeta's marks were going to suffer.
"But that just makes it all the funnier!" Goku pointed out. Vegeta took a look at his sensei, and had to cover his face to make sure the others didn't see him laughing. Goku poked him. "Aw, c'mon, Vegeta, just let it all out! Laugh with us!"
"Ahahaha!" The three boys almost fell off their chairs, despite the fact that they already knew it was going to happen.
"SILENCE!" Tanaka-sensei demanded. The auditorium was dead quiet, save the sound of blue dye dripping off the angry sensei, and the clatter of poles behind him. Muffled laughs were still heard. "Who did this?!" Tanaka-sensei asked the crowd. "Son Goku, I bet it was you and your little accomplices, hmm? Well, come up here and introduce you to all the girls, and bring your little friends with you!"
