Chapter 10: The Second Day
It was the second day for Oturan as a Saiyan. Fasha appeared coming to the bedroom to wake Oturan up. "Rise and shine, Oturan, wake up!" said Fasha. Oturan yawns while she woke up and rubbed her eyelids. "Morning, uh, Fasha," Oturan yawned. "Did you get a good rest last night?" asked Fasha. "Why, yes, I had a good night sleep," Oturan replied. "Whenever you're ready to get up, Queen Rosicheena will give you a morning bath," said Fasha. "Somehow a creature riding on a bowl with a staff gives me some new clothes for you. Be thankful for what you have!" Fasha left the bedroom.
Oturan removed the sheets. Oturan stares down at her Saiyan warrior clothes. "Whew," exclaimed Oturan. She looks around the entire bedroom. "Seer?" Seer was nowhere to be found, but the only thing she found is a yellow and black clothes with some sort of inverted color fingerless gloves, purple sash as belt, yellow stud earrings, white leg warmer, V-string as undergarment, and black slip-on shoes. She went straight to the bathroom.
Later...
Oturan was only in her towel that covered her bare breasts and her lady part. Her new clothes was still lying next to the mirror. She grabs the V-string on her hands. "I guess I'll wear this underwear first under my clothes." She removed her towel and then puts on her V-string where it shows her butt cheeks, then her clothes that was strapless on top with deep cleavage, square-shaped hole on her belly that was connected with the baggy part of the pants. She also puts on her yellow stud earrings, purple sash, black fingerless gloves with two yellow linings, white leg warmer, and black slip-on shoes.
Oturan rushed into the royal hallway to search Vegeta. While Oturan was running, she bumped into Vegeta and yelped in startle. "Oturan!" Vegeta exclaimed. "Sorry, Vegeta, I should have watch where I'm going," said Oturan. Vegeta stares at Oturan. "Hmm? What happened to your outfit? We were going to spar together," Vegeta exclaimed. "Well, I was thinking of styling myself, and that Saiyan outfit feels skin tight, I really need some clothes that is really comfortable and revealing like this," said Oturan.
Vegeta paused, feeling dumbfound that Oturan never spare anyone as a Saiyan and blushes. "The thing is, I really admit it, you look actually magnificent," Vegeta said, chuckling nervously. "Whatever makes you comfortable, I'm fine with it." "And what about sparing? I just barely came into your castle!" said Oturan. "We'll spar together and hunt some tribe of wolves in the lagoon," Vegeta said. Oturan turns confused. "What the heck is tribe of wolves? Sounds like an unpleasant creature," asked Oturan. "Oh? You never heard of a wolf?" Vegeta sighed. "I'll show you some of the tribe of wolves whenever we go to the lagoon at early evening. Let's go out for now." Vegeta and Oturan went out of the castle, riding on a hover seat.
Village
There were Saiyan merchandisers sells bread, products, meat, dairy, etc. Saiyan kids was playing hopscotch. Other Saiyans are frolicking and running. Several stares at Oturan with her new clothes. Oturan's eyes widened in wonders. "Look at all the Saiyans! They seem to be exciting!" exclaimed Oturan, in cheerful voice. "Like my father was saying, we should go walk around the entire village," Vegeta said, smirking.
Oturan stares around. She sees two Saiyans couples dancing together inside the gazebo. Oturan grabs Vegeta's wrist. "Hey, let's go over there! Those two couples looks like they are having a good time dancing together!" said Oturan, pointing at the gazebo. Vegeta paused. "I can't argue with that," Vegeta chuckled, shrugging his shoulders, spreading his arms.
Gazebo
Vegeta stands at the left side as Oturan stands at the right side. The two Saiyans grabs each other, but not in a romantic way, and starts dancing. "You dance really good," said Oturan. "You're quite a natural, too," Vegeta said. "I never danced in public, but at my mother and father." He grabs Oturan by her hips and lifted her up and turn another way as she exclaimed in surprise, yet in excitement. "I'm flying!" laughed Oturan. "Yes, you are, with my help," Vegeta said. Two of the female Saiyans giggled at Vegeta as the Saiyan Prince blushed.
Seer was watching Oturan and the Saiyan Prince from the water. Chatter was swimming in the river of the town, leaping as high as he can toward Seer. "Hey, Seer, did the Prince fall into Oturan yet?" asked Chatter. "Not yet," Seer said. Chatter groaned in grief.
Village
After dancing in the gazebo, Oturan and Vegeta continued their way to the other half of the village. Strange domestic creatures was squawking. "While we look around the village, let's do an errand for my mother," said Vegeta. "What errand?" Oturan asked. "Like buying food for the next dinner," said Vegeta. "We use gold for money to exchange it for what you brought." "Sounds like an errand I could do," Oturan said. Vegeta pulls out a list from his chest armor, and gives it to Oturan. "Here's the list we will be buying today," said Vegeta.
Meanwhile in the sky, Lock watches Oturan from below. He suddenly saw Chatter, still standing somewhere in the river of the town. "Oh, Chatter! Is there any trustworthy to that prince?" Lock asked. "Nope, not yet," said Chatter, sighing. "They better, any sooner now!" Lock said, in serious voice.
After shopping at the village, Oturan carries all the bags from the merchandisers as Vegeta controls the hover seat with his opened hands. "I'm glad the fun is over after strolling around the village," sighed Vegeta. Oturan thought of something that can helps her fear to go away. Vegeta turns at Oturan, "Are you okay? You look concerned." Oturan turns at Vegeta, trying to be fearless. "Well, the fun is still not over yet!" Oturan chuckled, stuttering. "I, uh...maybe I should take a ride back to the castle?" "Help yourself," said Vegeta, grabbing all bags from Oturan.
"Hmm, how do drive this again?" Oturan asked. Oturan figures herself out to control the hover seat. As the hover seat moves stiffly, Oturan screams in surprise as Vegeta flinched. After one try, she really gets the hang of it. Oturan drives near a gap, and then then make the hover seats jumps over the gaps that was 15 feet wide! Oturan's eyebrows was partly in fear, yet in anger. Vegeta's eyes widened.
And, then, Oturan made it at the other side of the gap, and then yelped out after making a hard land. "What the…?" exclaimed Vegeta. "I did it, I actually did it!" Oturan laughed. "So, which way is back?" "You'll figure yourself on your own," said Vegeta. "Vegeta!" Oturan said, in a worried voice. "I'm just joking around, kid!" laughed Vegeta, putting his hands on the back of his hand to relax.
He mentioned one thing. "Tonight it's going to be a full moon, so I'll cut off your tail when it's about to be an early evening." "Why's that?" Oturan asked. "After you form yourself as a Great Ape, or Oozaru, first thing you would be doing is breaking everything in your way, and go, 'RAAAAWR!'" As Vegeta mimicked the sound of a Great Ape, Oturan and the Saiyan Prince stares laughing.
Lagoon
Later, Oturan and Vegeta was taking a hike in the lagoon. Oturan's tail has been cut off moments before entering the lagoon. It was also foggy and cloudy with rivers in between. Chatter and Lock was hiding in the cattail bed. "Move your feathers, I can't see a thing," Chatter said. "One more day left, and still no bonds connected between Oturan and the Prince," said Lock. "This place is so foggy, perhaps I can defog the whole area." "Can you do that?" Chatter asked.
"I'm a seagull for a reason," said Lock. He soars, and then spread his arms to defog the mist in the air. The lagoon was cleared up around Lock, but he still didn't see Oturan and Vegeta. "Lock, did you find Oturan? Chatter asked. "No sign of Oturan, I better clear up the entire place until I found her," said Lock.
Oturan puts her hands on her arms in fear. "This place is spooky, where are the wolves?" Oturan asked, shuddering. "Just a further left," said Vegeta. "Stay with me, so you won't be lost in this foggy conditions." The Saiyan Prince starts running along with Oturan. Her legs suddenly got caught by a tall grass, and grabbed her baggy part of her pants, and then catch up. "Vegeta, wait for me!" Oturan shouted. She tripped over a rock as she screams. She landed on her stomach. Oturan pushed herself up with her arms and then kneel onto her knees. As the fog faded, Oturan was kneeling near a river. Suddenly, there were tribes of wolves appeared in front of Oturan.
"Wolves! Tribe of wolves!" she exclaimed, grabbing a large tree trunk from the ground. "If only Vegeta is here...those wolves look really scary, I must let them flee!" The wolves are snarling as they stand toward Oturan as she exclaimed. Further the tribes of wolves come closer to Oturan, she starts whimpering, defending herself with the tree trunk she was holding. One of the wolves jumps on Oturan as she dropped the tree trunk and screams.
Vegeta heard Oturan's screaming from a distance as he turns back. No one was behind Vegeta. "Oturan?" Vegeta exclaimed. He closed his eyes to feel Oturan's energy. "Vegeta, help me...!" screamed Oturan, echoing in the distance. The Prince opened his eyes again and follows Oturan's voice.
Oturan was lying on her back on the ground again, whimpering, as one of the wolves was on her chest. "Rrr…" the wolf snarled along with the other wolves. "Please don't hurt me, wolf, please don't hurt me, I'm just a innocent Saiyan," whimpered Oturan, raising her eyebrows in fear. The wolf on Oturan licked her in the face.
"What the…?" she exclaimed, raising her voice. "Maybe you're the one who is harmless of eating me. You're not all that bad for a strange creature." Oturan huffed in fear as she slowly touch the wolf that was on her upper body. But then, Vegeta appeared kicking the wolf in the head as it whimpers. Oturan's eyes widened in surprised. Most of the wolves fled away from the Saiyan Prince.
Seer, Chatter, and Lock hid in a nearby cattail bed where they can easily see Oturan and Vegeta. "There's the part that Prince saved a princess," said Seer. "He's falling into Oturan, that's for sure," Chatter said. "You really grown up as a survivor," said Lock. "This moment better not be interrupted any time now," Seer said. Chatter and Lock nodded in agreement.
"Don't you touch her again, you unpleasant living runt!" shouted Vegeta, at the tribe of wolves. He turns at Oturan, speaking in his normal, gruffly voice. "Are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?" "That was mean of you kicking that wolf!" Oturan said, in a calm voice. "He just licked me in the face for being afraid, that's all!" Vegeta glares at Oturan, and then tries to remain calm. Fireflies appeared glowing around the lagoon. "Anyways, that's one thing I'm concern of you," said Vegeta. "We should head back to the castle."
Oturan stares upward. "Not yet, I'm looking at something beautiful above," Oturan said. Vegeta stares upward, where the fireflies are glowing in yellowish green. "I always love creatures that glows in the dark," said Vegeta. "Those are fireflies." One firefly soar toward Oturan as she caught it with her index finger. "It's more beautiful up close," Oturan said.
"You better stay close to me whether it's foggy and it's hard to see further," said Vegeta. He was about to hugged Oturan, but Yamu and Spopovich appeared out of the water behind Oturan and Vegeta to pull both of their legs on water. The firefly on Oturan's hand flew away quickly along with the rest of the fireflies. Oturan and Vegeta exclaimed in their fall. Yamu and Spopovich hid where Vegeta cannot find them as they laughed evilly in victory, giving them high five. Vegeta helped Oturan up.
A/N:
Heartwarming chapter. Just to make sure you're in the same page, Oturan is still in her fearful stage while she went to the village with the Saiyan Prince in her Saiyan body. The only thing that scares her is strange creatures, falling, fear of heights, sudden death and appearance, and hard landing. Obviously it's really wrong for Oturan to walk around with her new clothes. In fact, that's her original outfit. The setting where Vegeta and Oturan went to the woods with wolves are the original setting of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid.
