This takes place after Cell is defeated. Hope you enjoy it!

"Krillin, I'm losing my patience. This place is beyond boring," Android 18 complained. It was mid afternoon, and the newlyweds had nothing to do but suntan on the beach of Kame House.

"What do you mean? It's beautiful here! The sun's always shining, and don't you like the sound of the waves?"

She looked to her husband with a glare. "You must be kidding. Even if I did enjoy that part of living in this stupid beach house, that would be all. I hate living with that disgusting old man and the even more perverted pig." In all honesty, she didn't mind the turtle.

Krillin raised a finger to his mouth and went, "Shhh… Don't say that too loud, they're right inside!"

"Humph!"

"All right," he conceded, "this place isn't my paradise either. But we can't afford anything else! We're just going to have to make the best of it, honey…"

That instant, an idea shot through 18's head. "Make the best of it…" She paused, and combed through her hair with her fingers. "That's it. Krillin, tonight, we're having a fire, and we're going to play a game."

"A game? You, of all people, are suggesting a game? Isn't that a little…juvenile?"

"Can you think of anything better to do in this miserable place?"

Krillin could not come up with an answer.


Oolong and Master Roshi were quick to join, and once the sun was down, all four of them were on the beach in front of a blazing fire. After roasting some hot dogs (Oolong didn't, he refused to betray his fellow pigs), Master Roshi popped the question. "So, 18, what is it you wanted to do this evening?"

"I wanted to play a game. It's called 'Two Truths and a Lie.' Whoever's turn it is will say three 'facts' about themselves, and then they choose one person to guess which one is the lie."

It sounded simple enough. The first to say three things about themselves was Oolong. "Hmm… I once transformed into a pair of panties, I used to collect bras, and I once transformed into a movie star to seduce a lady in a shoe store."

Master Roshi remained silent and nodded his head knowingly, Android 18's mouth hung open, and Krillin let out a chuckle. "Ha! That's Oolong for you!"

"One of those is true?" Android 18 paused, and with much reluctance, asked, "Who do you pick to guess which is the lie?"

"Let's see if Krillin can guess!"

"Well," he began, "I already know one that is definitely true, the one about transforming into a pair of panties…"

Oolong leaped from his chair. "How'd you know about that? You weren't there!"

"Goku doesn't have much discretion when he's telling stories!"

"Humph. Well, what's the lie, then?"

Krillin had to think about this one. Oolong was always known for his obsession with female undergarments, but he also would use his transformation ability to his advantage. Both options seemed to be in character…

But there was one fact that stood out as being a hole which exposed the lie. "You never collected bras… You collected underpants!"

"Augh! How did you figure it out?" The pig's face went bright red. Master Roshi laughed and 18 cringed.

"It was easy! If your obsession had been over bras, you would've asked Shenron for that when you made your wish at Pilaf's!"

Oolong sunk down in his seat and muttered, "Dammit, I didn't think you'd get it…"

Quickly changing the subject from Oolong's panty-snatching endeavours, 18 reminded Krillin that because he was asked by the pig, he was next. "Uh, once I threw a rock at Goku's face while he was sleeping… When I was out one day, my old girlfriend, Maron, searched for me in the refrigerator, and… Goku's brother kicked me through a window when I first met him." He looked to his wife. "Honey, why don't you try to guess which are true?"

Master Roshi chuckled, knowing exactly what the lie was. He was there, so one would hope he'd remember. The answer didn't seem so clear to 18, though, so while she was busy searching her husband's unrevealing eyes for an answer, the Turtle Hermit allowed himself a small treat of which he hadn't risked in ages. Knowing Roshi, it can't be much of a surprise that he let himself peek down the android's shirt. You know, because she wouldn't notice, right?

Mesmerized by the view in front of him, a salivating Roshi was caught off guard by hard knuckles connecting with his jaw.

Smack.

Yes, it was true that 18 hadn't noticed his staring, but there were still two other people there. One of which being her husband. "Master Roshi! You know she's off limits!"

"Huh?"

Smack.

This time, the hand belonged to a furious woman. "Ugh! Keep your eyes off of me, you filthy old man!"

"Whoa, whoa," Oolong consoled, "Everybody just calm down. 18 still has to guess which is the lie. Do you have an answer?"

"Hm. Yes, I do. I think you were lying about the ex-girlfriend searching the refrigerator for you."

The other three at the fire burst out laughing. "You're kidding!" 18 exclaimed. "Is it possible for humans to be so stupid?"

Master Roshi nodded. "Apparently so…"

"Shut it, old man!"

"18, calm down…" Krillin attempted.

"Whatever! What's the lie then?"

"Don't you wanna guess?" Oolong offered.

18 muttered something under her breath, but went on to answer, "I'll bet you did, in fact, get kicked through a window. Seems like your kind of luck when it comes to enemies, Krillin."

The black-haired man remarked sarcastically, "Oh, thanks a lot, but you're wrong again."

Roshi snickered. "No, he wasn't kicked through a window, this lad was booted through my wall!" Oolong released a snort. He wasn't there when it'd happened, but he certainly heard about it countless times after.

18 pretended to ignore the Turtle Hermit and clarified, "So, it's true? You actually threw a rock at Goku while he was sleeping?"

Krillin crossed his arms. "In my defence, I thought he'd catch it! As far as I knew, he was meditating!" he protested.

Moving right along, 18 recited three details about herself. "I can't remember any of my life before becoming an android. I didn't want to drive to Goku's house with 17 because I get claustrophobic, and even though I admit my name is strange, I've never been inclined to change it." She peered into the eyes of the three people around her, and they appeared to be waiting for something else. "Fine. Roshi, guess which one is the lie."

"I know one of them for sure! It's obvious, isn't it? If you wanted to change your name, you would have done so by now! As far as the other two…either could be true. But being bred as a killer by Dr Gero, I wouldn't be surprised if he disregarded your memories, so that is my answer. I think the lie is the claustrophobia." Krillin and Oolong nodded their heads.

18's cheeks went bright pink. She mumbled, "I didn't think it'd be that easy to figure out…"

Realizing they'd already been out by the fire for almost an hour, the four of them decided that Master Roshi would be the last turn in the game of Two Truths and a Lie. The sky had turned pitch black and the breeze was picking up, making the evening become a little bit colder.

"Heh heh… I once dressed up as Jackie Chun to test my luck with the ladies, I only smoke cigars, not cigarettes, and I have a driver's license."

Of course, it was Oolong's turn to guess which was the lie. "You definitely don't have your license. Why would you need it?"

Master Roshi reached into his back pocket and pulled out a card. Oolong almost fell out of his chair when he was handed the driver's license he was so sure didn't exist. "Oh, wow! I had no idea!"

"Can you guess now?" Master Roshi challenged.

"Uhh…" Oolong was stumped. It was so easy to believe either statement… Krillin couldn't seem to figure it out either.

Suddenly, a soft, friendly voice from behind Roshi's chair said, "I've never seen him smoke a cigarette since I've known him."

"Turtle!" 18 exclaimed. Her face went pale with guilt. The giant reptile made his way closer to the fire. "I'm sorry I didn't ask if you wanted to join us, Turtle."

18 spoke for everyone there. The four of them stared into their laps in shame, but Turtle didn't seem bothered at all. "Oh, it's okay. There were some things I wanted to get done anyway." Turtles aren't known for being able to smile, but Turtle did, and it just made them all feel worse. "But back to the game, now you know that Master Roshi smokes only cigars and didn't pick up any ladies with the Jackie Chun disguise!"

The Turtle Hermit nodded, and Turtle added, "Well, it's getting cold out. I made you all some hot chocolate, so come on inside."

The warm liquid felt great after being outside in the cold. "Thanks Turtle!" Krillin expressed with sincere gratitude.

Everyone nodded in agreement as they sipped their drinks. "Oh, no problem you guys, and girl!"

"Mm! Turtle, what did you put in here? I taste a little something extra, and it's really good!" Oolong observed.

The gentle reptile nodded. "You bet I added something! Notice that it's a little thicker?"

Krillin gulped. He wasn't sure he liked where this was going.

"That's grounded grass from the lawn! Adds a bit of a bite, doesn't it? Still nice though."

Simultaneously, all four of them spat their drinks, but for different reasons. Oolong and Roshi were shocked. Android 18 visualized the worms and bugs in the earth that probably all touched that grass. Krillin simply did not like the idea of having ground up plants in his hot chocolate.

Appearing to not fully understand why they all just spat out their drinks, Turtle simply added, "So, yeah! You're all very welcome."

Leaving them to clean out their mouths and their cups, Turtle waddled into his little room to sleep. He was grinning. Obviously, none of them knew how to tell a lie from the truth. Or how to tell a bit of flour from ground grass.

Did you like it? This was a bit of an experiment for me. I've never written or considered writing about these guys before. I'm more used to writing about the Saiyan guys and stuff. Anyways, hope you liked it. I have another chapter almost ready, I'll post it soon, just want to get feedback on this first. Thanks!
