Chapter 11: Third Time's the Charm!

Like before the week passed quickly. It was Friday night already. Goku was gonna pick me up at 6:30 sharp. I was ready to go by 6:15. . .I had my skates and all. Hmm. . .I wonder if Goku could skate.

Finally he showed up. This time he wasn't late and he didn't have the nimbus with him. I looked around for a vehicle of some sort but there wasn't one in sight.

"Hey Alice. Ready to go?" he said smiling down at me.

"Yeah. . .but are we walking there or something?" I asked him, confused.

He shook his head. "Nope. Grab onto my arm. Were gonna use instant transmission. It'll take us there instantly. In fact, that's how I got here."

"Um. . .Okay." I stepped outside and took a hold of his arm. He put two fingers to his forehead and then in a flash we were at the roller rink. I blinked. It was just like my transport spell only without the batteries!

"Are you sure you aren't a warlock or a wizard or something?" I asked.

"I'm sure." he said, smiling.

" 'Kay then." I said.

I went and sat on a bench and put my skates on. Goku got a pair of skates and sat down and tried to slip them on his feet. I skated over to him and sat down in front of him.

"Here let me help." I said.

I got his skates on his feet pretty quickly then skated out into the rink. He stood up and wobbled and almost fell over so I skated over to him and helped him balance.

"Do you need help into the rink?" I asked him.

"Uh. . .yeah." he said.

I took a hold of his arm and helped him into the roller rink.

"Can you skate?" I asked.

"Well. . .no." he said, smiling.

I laughed a little bit. "Then why'd you agree to come?"

"I don't know." he said while laughing.

"Well it's pretty easy to skate. Watch." I skated around the whole rink with ease and skated back in front of him. "Now you try it okay? But be careful don't go too fast."

"Okay." he said. He started to skate pretty easily but sped up and fell flat on his back.

I skated over to him quickly. "Goku are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" he said as I helped him back up.

"Here. . .I'll help you okay?" I said as I took his hand. "Just follow my footing."

I pushed my left foot forward with my right foot slowly and Goku did the same. I kept repeating and repeating then went a little faster.

"Okay. . .I think I can do it myself now." he said.

"Good! Try it and if you fall there's no shame in that." I reminded him.

He went around the rink about 3 times using the technique I showed him then he began to go faster. . .a little too fast. I don't know how he did it but he ended up making himself curve and go out of the skating rink.

"WHOA!!!" he yelled out, then CRASH! Ooh. . .right into a pool table. . .headfirst.

I skated over to him quickly. "Goku! Honey are you alright?" I said, worried.

He sat up and rubbed the top of his head. "Ouch. Skating hurts." he said while chuckling a little bit. I helped him back to his feet. "C'mon. . .I'll help you this time."

I took a tight hold of his big hand and he took a hold of mine and we began to skate around the rink, slow at first but speeding up gradually. Goku was doing just fine but then he let go of my hand, sped up and curved again, this time he crashed head first into a wall.

"Oh dear. . ." I said while rushing over to him. I helped him up.

"Are you okay? Goku?" I asked. He was sort of out of it but he skated out of the skating rink and sat down. I skated over to him and slid his skates off his feet. He rubbed his head. "Skates. . .are hard to control." he said, while still rubbing his head.

I took my skates off and hugged him. "Are you alright? You took quite a fall in there. Do you need any ice or anything?" I asked, worried.

He shook his head. "No. . .No I'm fine."

"Okay. . .good. Let's leave. . .I don't want you getting hurt again." I said then kissed his cheek.

He smiled and blushed a little bit. "Okay."



We went out for dinner again. This time at a Mexican restaurant. Like before, I'd already ordered but it took Goku forever. Finally he finished with his order and the waiter walked to the kitchen.

"Goku. . .I'm curious. If you eat like that all the time how come you never gain a pound?" I asked.

"I guess I burn it off by training, I really don't know." he said, smiling.

"You know. . .maybe next Sunday I could come over and cook dinner for you, Gohan and Goten. Would that be alright?" I asked smiling and blushing a little bit.

He blushed a little as well. "That'd be great."

The waiter brought our food rather quickly that time so we didn't get to talk as much.

Like before, Goku just wolfed down his food, with out choking once. . .and I just took my time but he was finished before I was.



By the time Goku got me home, it was 10:00. We decided to take the nimbus. . .I don't know why but we did. He walked me to the porch and hugged me in his arms then let go and put his hands on my shoulder.

"Did you have a great time, Goku? Other than the fact that you got hurt twice?" I asked him while smiling.

"I had a great time with you." he said smiling.

I began to stare deeply in his dark, black eyes. . .they were beautiful. Here we go. . .3rd times the charm. He began to lean and I began to lean and I closed my eyes and pursed my lips. . .but then I heard someone. .Miku.

"Bow chicka wow wow!" Miku said in the back round.

My eyes snapped open and I saw Miku watching us through the window. I growled.

"Goku. . .I'll see you tomorrow. At the beach." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Bye Alice." he said hugging me then disappeared using his instant transmission.

I ran in the house and tackled Miku to the ground. "WHAT THE HELL, MIKU?!" I yelled out and smacked him.

He laughed and pulled me into a noogy. "Heh. . .I'm just making sure he wasn't trying anything nasty."

"It was a kiss! It's not like he was gonna grope me or anything! He's a gentleman!" I yelled, punching him.

He let go of me. "I'm just saying, you never know how someone could turn out."

"Whatever. I'm going to bed I got another date tomorrow." I said as I walked to my room.

I shut and locked my door and stripped down and got into my pajamas. Am I ever gonna get to kiss him? I swear. . .we were SO close! I could feel the presence of his lips and how close they were. . .but they never touched. WHY?! Damn it. Maybe tomorrow. . .maybe tomorrow it'll happen. I hope so.
