Chapter Two – Falling Down
They walked with Annabelle, taking a tour of the building after getting something to eat, of course. As they approached the final room, which looking like some kind of meeting room, Goku spoke with a mouth-full of food,
"These muffins are so good! Where'd you get them?"
She laughed and smiled gingerly up at him.
"West Side's Bakery; just off of Rosh Drive…"
Goku nodded, and then swallowed.
"Yeah, I'll definitely have to take Chi-Chi there! She'll definitely want to know some of these recipes.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, brushing a few crumbs from the corners of his mouth, for he had had some, too; just not nearly as many as Goku was pigging out on.
"I'm glad you like them… So, Vegeta…"
She turned her attention to Vegeta and he glanced down at her.
"What do you think of our facility…? Would you and your friend here be willing to come and face my fighters for sport on certain occasions…? Who knows, it might even be a little fun…"
She giggled slightly and winked. Vegeta blushed briefly and looked away. He glanced back at Goku, who was wiping his mouth and smiling, nodding to agree; probably because all he wanted were the damn muffins!
Vegeta chuckled slightly and said,
"Yeah, why not…? It's not like we're doing much else anyways, am I right, Kakarot?"
Goku nodded again.
"Yeah… So, uhh, are we done here?"
After about an hour of walking around the building, sight-seeing, eating muffins and other pastries; they figured that the tour was now done. Annabelle smiled and simply said,
"Yes, I believe we've covered everything… You may leave if you wish…"
Vegeta still felt like something wasn't right, but got over it when they were finally excused, grinning slightly. He shook her hand once again and then turned towards Goku. As soon as the two of them turned to leave Goku suddenly stopped, freezing in place. Vegeta glanced with an irritated expression on his face.
"Oh, what is it now, Kakarot? Don't tell me you have stomach ache, because all I'll say is that I told you so…!"
Goku held his breath, beginning to choke slightly.
"Kakarot…?"
Vegeta stepped cautiously towards him when he began to sway slightly and fell to his knees, hitting his head against the floor hard. He passed out.
"Kakarot…!"
Vegeta knelt down next to him, trying to seeing if he was alright. His vision was suddenly blurry and he felt extremely unbalanced.
"Y-You…! Wh-What did you d-do t-to…?"
Vegeta tried getting up, but fell against the wall, leaning up against it for support. The woman's figure began to get more and more blurry. Breathing began to become harder and he felt his skin heating up. He knew something wasn't right. It was all a trap. Annabelle stepped towards Vegeta, placing a hand on the side of his face. She leaned in and breathed the words,
"Go to sleep…"
He fell to his side, next the Goku and his eyes slowly drifted shut.
