Chapter 7: My First Date (From what I can Remember)
My week passed SO quickly and before I knew it. . .It was Friday Night!
By 5:30, I was all "dolled" up and ready to go. Goku wasn't gonna be there till 6 so I turned on the TV and killed some time. It came around to 6:30. . .and Goku STILL wasn't here. Where could he be? What if he stood me up? Or forgot? But he couldn't have forgotten, he called me the other night to make sure we were still going out and to figure out what our plans were going to be. I don't want my first date I've been asked out on to be my first stand up!
I was about to call it quits and go into the bathroom to remove my eyeliner and black eye-shadow when there was a knock at the door. Emiko answered it and I saw Goku towering over her.
"Hi. . .Is Alice home? I came to pick her up and I'm s-" Emiko cut him off before he could finish.
"ALICE! YOUR DATE'S HERE!" she yelled.
I walked into the room and smiled at Goku and he gave me the same cheesy smile he gave me at the tournament.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
"Yup! Let's Go!" I said.
Emiko chuckled and looked at both of us grinning. "Now children. . .be home on time" she said while laughing.
"Uh. . .well we should probably get going, Alice."
I nodded quickly. "Yup. Bye Emiko!"
And before she could say anything else me and Goku bolted out the door slamming the door behind us. Goku then ran and jumped on a yellow cumulus cloud. I went up to it and looked at it. How was he sitting on this thing? Goku then looked at me and grabbed my hand and pulled me on the cloud and we took off flying through the air.
"WHOA!" I immediately screamed out from instinct and wrapped my arms around Goku's waist to hold onto him.
He chuckled. "Alice. . .I ain't gonna let you fall. I promise."
"I-I-I'm just. . .scared." I stammered out.
We kept flying through the air till we came to a road that led to a town and Goku stopped the cloud.
"You want to walk to town? It's a short walk and I didn't wanna crash into anyone. . .I haven't rode on this thing in awhile." he said smiling.
I smiled. "Sure, let's go."
We both hopped off the cloud and it took off, ON ITS OWN! Gosh that things creepy.
We began to walk down the road side by side.
"So what do you do. . .for work?" I asked him.
"Well, I plant crops in the summer time. . .and usually win money for fighting in the tournament and winning." he replied.
Hmm. . .I wonder if he knew anything about this Hercule business cause he was obviously strong enough to take him down.
"And most of the time, We don't buy many groceries but we eat fish and some of the crops most of the time." he added.
"So you haven't had a home cooked meal besides fish in awhile?" I asked.
He smiled. "Nope. Not since me and my wife split up."
"Why did you and your wife split up?" I asked him.
"Well, I fell out of love with her. We fought a lot." he said neutrally. "Have you ever been married?" he asked.
"I-" As I was about to answer him, memories came into my head.
Lucas. . .my father introduced me to him. . .he cheated on me the night before our wedding day. Along with these memories, came pain. . .I thought I was gonna cry, but I sucked it up and went on.
"Nope. I've never been married." I answered.
"That's a shock." Goku said smiling.
I blushed a little. "What do you do for fun?" I asked him.
"I go fishing, I spar, train with my sons. . .and well that's about it." he said.
"How many sons do you have?" I asked him.
"I have 2 sons. Gohan and Goten. Gohan is 20 and waiting to see if he got accepted into college yet., and Goten is 12." he said.
I smiled. "That's good."
We reached the theater not too long after that and approached the ticket booth.
"What movie should we see, Goku?" I asked him.
"I don't know" he said turning to the ticket vendor. "What movie do you think is the best one to watch?" he asked the teenage boy.
The teen turned around and glanced at Goku then looked at me and winked.
"Well, the best movie playing right now would have to be "The Return of Michael Myers" and the showing is about to start."
"Okay then give me two tickets to that" Goku said.
He paid for the tickets and we went inside the theater and sat in the back. The movie was just starting when we got in there.
It looked as though to be a horror movie but, how bad could it be if this is Mike Myers? Didn't he play Austin Powers? Oh well, we'll see.
The very first scene had ominous music playing and it showed a man with a mask on, hiding in the shadows of a house. Then it showed these teenagers running down the street and a few of them dropped. The man jumped out of the shadows and ran at them and started hacking them with a huge butcher's knife.
I did what my first instinct told me to do. I screamed and jumped up in the air, frightened to death and landed in Goku's lap shaking.
An hour and a half later the movie ended and Goku and I walked out of the theater with his arm around me.
"That. . .was the scariest movie I've ever seen!" I exclaimed.
Goku nodded. "It was pretty scary but I've seen scarier and he'd be easy to take down. Just shoot him with a ki blast." he said while grinning.
"What's that?" I asked
"What's what?"
"What's Ki?" I asked again.
"Oh Ki is energy. Watch." he said.
He put his hand above his head, flat and a small round blue light shot out of his hand in a beam.
My eyes widened. I didn't know humans were capable of that! I also didn't know it was called ki. But wait a second. . .what if Goku isn't human? Maybe he's an alien.
Goku stood there grinning at me. I took a hold of his arm, lifted it up to my nose and started sniffing it. His blood smelled FANTASTIC! It smelled of sweet. It smelled so sweet that I started drooling. He had the sweetest scent EVER. I was just about to bite into his arm when I noticed I was being shaken.
"Alice? Alice are you alive?" Goku said, while still shaking me.
I looked up at him, "Huh? What?"
He smiled and stopped shaking me. "What are you doing?"
Oh crap. . .I can't tell him I'm a vampire! He'd freak out and run away! SCREAMING!
"Um. . .Goku? Don't take this in offense but are you human?" I asked quietly.
He hesitated at first but then said, "Well. . .no I'm not. I'm actually an alien from the race known as Sayains." he explained.
I stayed silent for a moment thinking about it. I can't believe he's an alien and that he's kinda open about it. He looks so human except for his insanely large muscles.
"Does it bother you that I'm not human?" he asked.
I smiled. "No, no not at all. . .I have a secret. . .but you have to promise. . .you won't go haywire on me."
I took a deep breath. . .this was gonna be hard.
"I promise." he said, smiling.
"Well Goku. . .the truth is. . .I'm a vampire. A vegetarian vampire. . .I drink animal's blood." I said, sighing.
His eyes widened. "You're a blood sucker?" he asked.
I nodded. "I'm sorry. Please don't be frightened. . ."
He shook the look off his face and looked down at me. "Well I guess if you don't bite me or nothing then I'm okay with it. I've met worse." He smiled then grinned.
I hugged him then he took my hand and we walked to an Italian restaurant.
We had been sitting there for 10 minutes. . .ordering. Well Goku was ordering. I already ordered my food but Goku was taking FOREVER.
"And I'd like some chicken f- f- what's that word?" he asked, while pointing to something on the menu.
"Fettuccini" The waiter said scribbling it down on his note pad on the third page.
"Yeah That stuff looks pretty good! And that's it." he said sitting his menu down.
The waiter put the notepad in his pocket and said "Well. . .I'll be back in awhile. . ." then left.
I looked at Goku, giggling. "Goku are you really that hungry?"
He looked at me with a big cheesy smile on his face. "Yeah. . .actually I am"
"Your REALLY gonna eat all that?" I asked.
"Yep." he said keeping the same smile on his face.
"Do you normally eat that much?"
"Well. . .when I can afford it, and I got plenty of zenie right now." he said.
"Oh okay. . .well how old are you anyway? 20? 25?" I asked him, smiling.
"I'm 45" he said.
"Really? You look like your in your 20s'" I said giggling.
He blushed a little bit. "How old are you?"
"Well. . .I'm eternally 16 but really, I'm 56 I think." I answered him.
"Wow. . .When's your birthday? I don't know when mine is. . .it's sometime in spring that's all I know, but when's yours?" He asked.
"October 28th" I said, answering his question.
"I see. . .By the way. . .who was that girl who answered the door when I showed up? She was kinda weird. . .she had dog ears." he said.
"Well. . .she's my niece. I live with my brother, his wife and their 3 daughters. She has dog ears cause-" I began to whisper. "She's part demon and so is my brother, but it doesn't mean their evil. . ."
"Wow. . .You have a mixed up family don't cha?" he said smiling.
I laughed. "You got no clue. I have 3 brothers. Two older brothers and a younger brother. But, the brother I live with is like. . .2 years older than me. Do you have any siblings?"
"Well. . .I did but I killed him. . .well my friend killed me and him at the same time. He kidnapped Gohan when he was 4 and so, me and my friend Piccolo, went to go save him so I had to hold my brother while my friend shot him and the beam went through me as well." Goku explained.
"How did you get back to life?" I asked him.
"The Dragon balls." he said grinning. "There's 7 of them and if you find all of them and summon the Dragon, Shenron, he'll grant you 2 wishes!" he exclaimed.
I smiled. "Sounds exciting."
"It is" he said, grinning.
Just then the waiter arrived with my order of food and half of Goku's order.
"I'll be back with the rest in a little bit." the waiter said.
After the waiter walked away, Goku began to devour the food in front of him. He was like a vacuum cleaner! In 2 minutes he ate a large pizza! I just sat there and watched him, eat. . .stunned. He finished all the food the waiter had brought him so far in a total of 12 minutes. I hadn't touched my food yet. Goku looked at me with a big cheesy smile on his face and had food all around his mouth.
I giggled a little bit. "You got some. . .here I'll get it." I said as I picked up a napkin and wiped his face off. I felt my face heat up and I noticed his face did too.
"Hmm. . .I'm still hungry. . .I can't wait till the rest of it gets here." he said smiling.
I looked at him wide-eyed. "You ate all that?. . .and your still hungry?"
"Yup!" he said.
I just shook my head not believing this and began to eat my plate of food. The waiter brought 4 more dishes to the table and set them in front of Goku then set the bill on the table. Like before, Goku began to inhale the meal. I just finished my meal but by the time I was finished and looked up, I just noticed Goku looking at me and smiling, finished already with 4 dishes of food, with sauce and crumbs around his mouth. I couldn't help but giggle. He was cute. I picked up another napkin and wiped his mouth off. Again, I felt my face heat up.
A half an hour later, we arrived at my house on the strange yellow cloud and we both hopped off it. He walked me to the door.
"Well. . .I had a very nice time, Goku" I said, blushing.
"Yeah. . .me too. . ." he said, smiling.
"You. . .wanna do something tomorrow?" I asked him.
"Sure! You wanna like. . .go to the park?" he asked.
"Sure! Sure, anything. . .Meet me there around 3?" I asked.
"Yeah. . .that'd be great." he said leaning.
He started to lean in toward me. . .and all I could do was lean back. Wait. . .were we. . .going to kiss? We both kept leaning in and I began to panic a little so I kissed him on the cheek and hugged him. My face felt really hot, and when I kissed his cheek he blushed.
"B-Bye Alice! See ya tomorrow!" he said, then ran back up to the nimbus and jumped on it. I waved to him as he took off.
I went inside the house and went up to my room and laid down in bed. We almost kissed.
We almost kissed! If only I didn't panic, we would have kissed! He likes me!
