Part Three: "A Grip on Reality…Please?"
So anyway...I fainted. I think in my dream state, it felt more like I floated down to the ground, or some angelic-shit like that. Goten probably didn't know what to think, cause he didn't come pick me back up or anything. So my faint session lasted for like two seconds, and then I was up and ready to interrogate him some more. "You can't be serious! You're actually from that cartoon series! Man...And I thought Americans were crazy!" I stood beside him and nudged him jokingly on his side. "So uh...you're not actually from there...speaking in physical terms...right? It's more like a mental state...am I right? (Why I thought asking him these pointless questions was so intriguing at the time, I have no idea.) Goten looked at me, and started to laugh. "No...I'm serious. I really am Goten, and Goku is my "for-real" father." It was his turn to nudge me and ask me pointless questions next. "So uh...you really think that you're here in Japan for some kind of intelligence mission...right? Don't worry I won't tell people you really escaped from the mental asylum and are here seeking religious inspiration." It took a few for me to understand what the hell he just said. When it finally hit me, I laughed at him. "Hey, you know what? You're actually pretty funny. How 'bout we start walking again so we both don't go crazy from asking these pointless questions. Whaddya say? eh?" He was the first to start walking.
Of course in dreams, walks that should take days to complete only last for like seconds, cause it only took us like 5.2 seconds to walk straight into Tokyo or someplace like that. Goten stopped briefly to look where he was at and then he started again. I, like a lost, little puppy followed him. I moved and stopped, in sync with him the whole way, it was truly a dream. Finally he decided to ask me where I wanted to go (ya know where I intended to go in the first place?).
I blinked 100 times before I said something. "Ya know...I have no fucking idea." Goten gave me weird look. "You know, you really should stop using language like that. It isn't very lady-like." "Oh please! Like I need you telling me what is and isn't lady-like." I said. He smiled again. "It is too bad that you aren't a Saiya-jin. You would be perfect for my friend Trunks. His father doesn't want him marrying anyone from earth." I raised my eyebrows in interest. "Trunks?" Goten became amused at the thought of having struck something possibly interesting to me. "Yeah...he lives at-" "Capsule Corporation. And he lives there with his mother, Bulma Brief, and father, Vegeta...the prince of all Saiya-jins, and his grandmother and grandfather, Dr. Brief." Goten literally fell over. "I thought you didn't know what a Saiya-jin was, and then you go and tell me the whole residency of Capsule Corporation." I was surprised myself. Where the hell did that come from? I thought to myself. "I don't know, I guess memory is starting to serve me well." I said quietly. He smiled real big and acted like I didn't say anything at all. "Well hey! Let's just go visit Trunks and his family then."
He reached for my hand, and this time I didn't let him grab it. "Wait, wait, wait! That has to be a very long walk and I'm not walking that far. Let's get some transportation or something." Goten kept smiling. "And I thought you knew something about us Dragon Ball people. We don't need cars or buses to get us where we need to go. Give me your hand." At first I hesitated. That's right, they fly around in that world...but he hasn't really proven anything to me. He has to be some escaped lunatic from a psycho-ward, ya know number 300835-74 (or some shit like that), that thinks he's from Dragon Ball Z and now he just wants another victim to kill and disembowel, because in real-life he wanted to be a girl and he couldn't cut it, so now he's angry at the whole female species and will not stop until they are all dead! "Ok then big boy, show me how." I suddenly said. He tilted his head in confusion. "You looked like you were thinking about something bad and then all of sudden you brightened up. I guess I won't ask. Anyways, give me your hand or do you want me to carry you?" He asked. (Sarcastically) "I don't care...whichever you prefer. Just don't drop me now, okay?" He smiled again. "You really don't believe me...do you?" "What's to believe? Just hurry up so I can start laughing. And another thing...Could you please...please!...get a grip on reality...please?" He shook his head in disappointment and grabbed my hand. "Okay here goes."
My fake smile disappeared real fast as I realized that we were up in the air and flying very fast. "What the f-" I started. "Cool isn't it?" Goten cut in. "Yeah it is. I'm sorry I didn't believe you, I guess Americans seem really skeptical to you huh?" "No. I've only met one and I think she is pretty funny." I laughed at that one. So we flew for awhile until we came to the familiar green lot and domed housing with Capsule Corp. painted on the outside of them. I became very nervous all of sudden. (Hey if you were about to meet real life people who just happened to be in one of the most popular anime shows ever, I think you would be shittin' tacks too.)
"So uh...this is where Bulma lives huh?" I said. Goten gave me a funny look. "Oh c'mon, don't act like you don't know that Trunks lives here too. I know you are just dying to meet him. C'mon." He grabbed my hand again. Inside the "main dome" was like looking at the inside of a posh hotel, chandeliers and nice furniture galore. It made me feel a little out of place. And for some sick reason I suddenly felt like I was standing there naked or something. I checked and thank the gods I wasn't (that's all we need is more naked people). I sat down on one of the couches and relaxed briefly (no pun intended), then I stood up real fast as soon as I heard Bulma's high-pitched voice. "Oh I see we have visitors. It's so nice to see you again Goten. It's been awhile, Trunks is going to be so happy you're here." Bulma hugged Goten and then turned around and yelled, "TRUNKS!! GOTEN'S HERE!!" If I could of crawled inside the couch I would have.
Bulma couldn't hear enough about me. She wanted to know where I was from, and who my parents were, and why I decided to come to Asia for a vacation. I looked at Goten quickly and then started, "I didn't-" "She is here because she likes Japan and she wanted to know more about the culture. Right?" Goten said looking at me. I quickly closed my mouth. "Uh...Bulma? Will you excuse Goten and me for one second? Goten!" I got up from the couch and walked out the living room, only I didn't quite make it all the way out of the living room, because I ran smack into Trunks. For some reason I knocked myself out running into him. So I guess waking up in the sickbay part of Capsule Corp. was a little confusing for me. Oh Well!
