Only the Jaded Part 1
Frieza had been in the afterlife for months, he had not been able to get his henchmen back to supporting him. Dodoria and Shasha were his most loyal supporters, yet they preferred in this afterlife to do things together and didn't want to really listen to how whinny Frieza was. They still supported him in some ways, but they just were tired of dying for him.
Anyways the point was that Dodoria and Shasha were so content being away from Frieza that maybe if they had each other as friends, without Frieza, then they would be better off without him! After all just because Frieza, Dodoria and Shasha were dead, did not mean their story ended here! Oh God no, live is very spicy in the afterlife!
Frieza was very broken right about now, he sighed and cried and he had nobody to talk to in the afterlife. It was a different afterlife than the one he was in a few times back in the day. The Ginyu Force was also not there to blindly and gladly support him, Zarbon was alive and living with Morgan, her mom and sister, and Sarah didn't want to talk him for killing her back on earth.
"Why me, what did I ever do to deserve such misery?" Frieza asked crouching on the ground with his tail curled on his body to hide himself crying.
No we don't feel sorry for Frieza whatsoever, he was born into a privileged life, and he got to die a few times and come back a few times, and this was just one of those other times where he was dead again. This guy couldn't clearly see the forest from the trees; maybe he was wallowing in his own misery, because he never knew if he would ever come back to life or not?
Back in the physical world, Zarbon ended up staying downstairs that night, not sleeping in bed next to Morgan as usual. After crying to her mom all night, Morgan knew what she had to do, she had to go and apologize to Zarbon, hell she should have done it last night! It pained her to have to apologize to him, but if she wanted to keep him as a friend or a BFF, then she had no choice.
"Good morning," Morgan said as she entered the kitchen.
"Good morning," Zarbon said back as he was at the table.
Morgan's mom went out to eat breakfast with some friends of hers, and since her mom was single she had more time to hang out with her married and single friends both. Erin was still asleep since she slept in on the weekends.
"I'm sorry about last night; I just cannot believe you did that." Morgan said.
"Did what?" Zarbon asked.
"You resisted sex with me, why?" Morgan asked.
God where to begin with this? How could Zarbon possibly tell Morgan, after indicating to her last night that he just wasn't a sexually aggressive person? He had told her many times that sex was not a huge priority of his right this second, and she still didn't believe him!
Zarbon then said, "Uh well, I…"
"Don't, I know why." Morgan said.
"Why?" Zarbon asked.
"It's because you have a beautiful heart." Morgan said.
"Come again?" Zarbon asked.
"You know, you did it because you are pure hearted and someone with a truly ugly heart wouldn't be able to resist me." Morgan said.
It's pretty understandable that Zarbon was a little flabbergasted that someone had told him that he had a beautiful heart. He knew he did some bad things, and was prone to intense and energy draining mood swings in the past. Morgan even knew about the bad things he did, because he told her himself. As of why she came to this nearly delusional conclusion, beats us and Zarbon.
Let's get something straight, Zarbon was not pure hearted in any way. He grew up in a violent society that was sexist and cruel. Nobody who was raised in that society could come out of it pure hearted. Sure he was naïve about commoners and women, but that didn't really make him pure hearted. In fact before he went onto Namic, his heart grew just a little colder, especially after Frieza had his sister burnt at the stake.
On the other hand, he always hated Frieza. He hated everything Frieza did, commanded of him, and hated it when Frieza threatened his life and his friend's lives.
It was probably because Cui and Appule used to babysit Zarbon that he didn't come out as being pure evil like Frieza wanted him to be. Cui and Appule were more docile and maybe even kind in nature, but even they weren't pure hearted either. They had a major influence on Zarbon, they were intelligent, kind to him, and told him that being intelligent and alert would get you further into the world.
"Thank you, nobody has ever told me that before." Zarbon said mystified.
"Well you must have some kind of good in you for you to do that." Morgan said shyly looking away from him.
Yes Zarbon did have his moments of kindness in his past history. Even though he would insult the Sayains behind their backs and talk about how savage they were, Zarbon actually threw Shasha off of a Sayain woman he was raping in battle. Zarbon even stood up to Shasha and Dodoria when they were openly beating and abusing the female Sayains who were captured in battle in front of him.
He also saved Tina, that girl who lusted after Jeice from the Ginyu Force Academy from a group of bullies who were harassing her and throwing her backpack around. She ended up developing an obsessive crush on him, and followed him around proclaiming her love for him, until Zarbon had to transform to get her away from her.
Then there was that one time where he gathered up Shasha's ashes, after Shasha was burnt at the stake by Frieza for being illegally married to his sister, and took them to Dodoria. Since Dodoria was Shasha's only true friend, and I mean they did just about everything together, Zarbon figured that Dodoria would miss him the most. Dodoria kept those ashes until his death on Namic.
None of those kind things Zarbon did were for sex or because he wanted to be in a relationship with anyone, it also wasn't used to gain alliances either. It simply proved that he wasn't a one or two dimensional, and that he could do things for others without expecting anything in return.
Zarbon then said, "Its fine, just don't think too much about it."
They tried to forget about it, although Morgan telling Zarbon that he had a "beautiful heart" actually touched him deeply. He was never purely evil, nor was he purely good either. When it came down to it, it was an internal struggle within Zarbon whether or not being evil or doing good was more paramount. Working for a tyrant like Frieza, had its gray areas, and Zarbon was one of those people where the gray areas deeply applied.
On the one hand he went along with the suggestion the Frieza destroy Planet Vegeta, on the other hand, he hesitated the first time around. Then there was the time on Namic where he was smiling and laughing at how he was helping to slaughter Namics. However, he would give Frieza the dirtiest of looks at random, or when Frieza told him to do something.
Then there was the issue of Frieza killing people in front of him, each time that happened, the majority if not all the time Zarbon would become fearful and with anxiety, he would hate it when people begged for their lives and were killed anyways. Whereas Dodoria and Shasha would laugh most of the time while they saw this happen, those two dunderheads were so devoted to Frieza that they liked it when it was someone else who suffered, not so much themselves.
Tonight was game night! Morgan's mom announced it in front of Zarbon and Morgan while they were watching TV.
"Guess what tonight is? Its game night!" Diana Macskavsky said holding up a game of Yahtzee.
"Game night?" Zarbon asked.
Of course Zarbon had only seen this game night on commercials that he saw on TV, whereas he's never experienced it ever! "Wow mom, we haven't had a game night since you were married to dad!" Morgan said.
"Game night? No way, I have friends to hang out with!" Erin said about to walk out the door.
"We'll play Candyland!" Morgan said.
"No, no not that!" Diana said.
"Candy land? Awesome I love that game!" Erin said running back to the living room. The only reason she loved it so much was because she always won it! Younger players were suggested to go first, and that was the advantage that Morgan's mom despised the most!
So they got the games out, they got out Yahtzee, which Morgan's mom's won since nobody else knew how to play it! They played connect four and Zarbon won that game against Erin, in which Erin threw a huge temper tantrum, which nobody could help but snicker at!
Then it got to the game called Hungry Hungry Hippos, Zarbon loved this game a lot, but he was just starting out!
Morgan had to instruct him on how to do it, "Here is what you do Zarbon, you try to get as many white balls into your hippo's mouth and then the most balls you get, the more you win." Morgan said.
"Oh I see," Zarbon said.
They played Hungry Hungry Hippos, and surely enough Zarbon's strategic nature came into play! He managed to get most of those white balls into his hippo!
"Yes I won!" Zarbon yelled.
"Damn it!" Erin yelled as she grabbed the game and threw it to the other side of the room.
Then came the moment everyone was waiting for…but not for the right reasons I'm afraid! After everyone played Candyland, Erin won!
"I won! I won! In your face Zarbon, in your face!" Erin said laughing like a manic.
"God damn it you wench! That was the fifth time you won!" Zarbon said, he then grabbed the game board, and broke it in half.
"Zarbon you broke my game! You have to buy me a new one!" Erin said.
"I'll buy you a new one when you learn to take winning and losing like a normal person! This competitive streak of yours is unattractive!" Zarbon said.
"Guys, guys, will you two stop fighting! You two have been fighting non-stop!" Morgan said.
"She started it!" Zarbon said.
"I wouldn't fight with him if it weren't for his arrogance, 'I'm Zarbon, and I'm a five star general. On top of that, I'm intelligent, speak more than five languages, and I am a prince!'" Erin said in a mocking bad British sounding accent.
"Well maybe he is a five star general, speaks more than five languages and is a prince. It makes sense if you think about it." Diana said.
"Yes Erin, I earned that title of five star general, I learned more than five languages and I was born a prince! I didn't get my five star title overnight, I didn't learn more than five languages overnight and the only reason why you won "Candy land" five times is because you are the youngest out of all of us and you always have to go first!" Zarbon said.
"Basically I think he's saying that you winning "Candy land" was easy because you got to go first because you are the youngest out of all of us, and you are given the chance to win more likely because the rules just handed to you on a plate!" Morgan said.
"Actually there is more to that statement than you think, chances are greater for Erin to win only because the game says the youngest goes first! It's not rocket science and…" Before Zarbon could finish what he was saying, there was a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" Diana asked.
"It's probably my boyfriend Max Diego Fernando," Erin said trying to think of his full name since he was Hispanic and Hispanics had unusually long names compared to people with Anglo names and other non-Hispanic names.
Diana opened the door, and just like that Morgan's dad Bruce Macskavsky fell to the floor as a vodka bottle flew out of his hand and crashed before he crashed onto the floor. Diana screamed, Zarbon and Morgan got to the door and saw that Bruce was out cold.
"Oh my God! Dad's drunk again!" Erin said crying and running upstairs embarrassed.
"Come on let's get him on the couch and call his office in the morning to tell them that he's too sick to come into work." Diana said.
Zarbon picked Bruce up, put him on the couch and covered him up with a blanket. He went to Diana's room, got a pillow and put it under Bruce's head so that he would be sound and sleep like a baby. Then the doorbell rang, perhaps it was one of Bruce's AA meeting friends?
Morgan opened the door up, and it was Jada with a board game in his hand! "Guys its game night!" Jada yelled.
"But Jada why aren't you at home?" Morgan asked.
"Because my parents are on a date night, and I am bored so I came here to play this game with you! It's a new game and you all have to play with me!" Jada said.
"This is a bad time, dad showed up and he's drunk! Not to mention he's asleep on the couch!" Morgan said.
"All the more reason for us to play, so we can be at ease!" Jada said.
"How did you know it was game night, when nobody told you and we hadn't had game night since mom and dad were married?" Morgan asked.
"While you were in the other room, I called him," Zarbon said.
As they went over the rules, Jada took four sets of plastic ears out. One of them was colored blue, another green, another purple and the last set pink.
"It says on here that in order to play "Elf Wood", you have to have these sets of ears on your own ears in order to make the game more convincing." Jada said.
"God this is so stupid!" Erin said, she managed to come back down stairs when Bruce fell asleep on the couch.
"Nobody said that the extra set of rules had to make sense, only the actual rules of the game need to make sense." Jada said.
They separated the ears out, Jada got to be the green eared elf of the north, Erin got to be the pink-eared elf of the south, Morgan got to be the purple eared elf of the east, and Zarbon got to be the blue eared elf of the west.
Yes as stupid as these extra set of rules were, before you know it they were playing the game after listening to Zarbon say stuff like, "Why do I get the blue ears and not Jada?"
Jada would answer, "Because it suits you perfectly because of your turquoise colored skin,"
"But that doesn't make sense, I'm not blue, I'm turquoise colored!" Zarbon would say crossing his arms.
The game was like this, four players each, one game piece per player, and they were the same colors as the ears which meant that for instance if Erin had the pink eared set on, she would get the pink game piece to move around the board. Basically there was one dice piece and everyone had to take turns sometimes they would have to skip a turn if the cards they turned over said "Skip a turn".
It was like a mixture of Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, and possibly Trouble. Each player had a home base of their own, had at least thirty to forty squares that were different colors and had to make it to the middle so that they could win "the treasure", and by then Zarbon had stopped complaining and won the game fair and square!
"I won, I won!" Zarbon said.
"I hate you Zarbon! I hate you!" Erin said throwing another temper tantrum about losing.
"Guys please settle down, it's just a game!" Jada said.
Bruce woke up, "What the fuck is going on?" he asked.
"Dad just go back to sleep." Erin said.
"Zarbon don't you dare fuck my daughters!" Bruce said.
"Oh come on Bruce, I know Zarbon and he's actually a good guy, he's not a sleaze trust me." Jada said.
"Don't engage with him Jada, let's see if we can move our game stuff down to the basement," Morgan said.
A week past and Bruce was continually getting drunk and showing up late at night at the Macskavsky household. It was beginning to concern all involved, and so they talked it out and tried to get ideas on how to keep him distracted enough to stop this drinking besides him attending AA meetings.
Morgan then approached Zarbon while he was alone, "Zarbon I need a favor from you."
"What is it?" Zarbon said looking slightly excited and with a slight grin on his face.
He was willing to help out in any way he could, who knows maybe doing nice things for Morgan when she requested them would get her attention and make her notice what a "nice guy" he actually was. It was not usually in Zarbon's true nature to pretend to be nice, he was only genuinely kind when it was necessary, he wasn't a total pushover, just know this.
"My dad needs to go and see a movie; do you think you can take him?" Morgan asked.
"But he's your dad, not mine, and besides your father hates me," Zarbon said.
"He just doesn't know you as well as the rest of us do, who knows maybe you can get him to stop talking about how all is lost because he's been divorced from mom for about a couple of years now." Morgan said.
"Oh, all right." Zarbon said.
"By the way, can you be a dear heart and get me some vodka?" Morgan asked.
"What do you need to be drinking alcohol for anyways?" Zarbon asked.
"It's just that I don't have a driver's license and I need you to buy us some vodka, because you have a driver's license and you need one to buy alcohol." Morgan said as she was caressing his arm.
His heart skipped a lot and thumped strongly. Zarbon gave it a thought; maybe after he hung out with her dad he would do so.
"Come on Zarbunny. I'm not going to have to bat my pretty Slavic shaped eyes at you am I?" Morgan asked.
"Ok, I will get us some vodka then, any type of flavors?" Zarbon asked.
"Uh, strawberry for sure," Morgan said, as she went up to him and hugged him.
Meanwhile in the afterlife Frieza laid on the ground broken, as usual. Then this group of kid angels came up to him. There were two girl angels and two boy angels. One angel was black, a female and had a pink hijab on. Another one was white, blond and blue eyed and a girl. Another one looked Mexican and was a male. The last one was Asian looking, and a male.
The Asian looking one pointed to Frieza, "What is that?" He asked.
"Is it a jinn?" the one with the hijab asked.
"No, I don't think so, it looks more like a demon." The blond said.
"No, jinns are demons!" the one with the hijab said pushing the blond.
"Shut up Miriam!" the blond said.
"Shut up Lucy!" the one with the hijab said.
"Guys I think it's still alive. Let me get a stick really quick." The Mexican looking one said, he came back with a stick and started poking Frieza with it.
"Excuse me; do you have any idea who I am?" Frieza asked infuriated.
"You look like a broken soul to me. I'm Henry." The Asian angel said.
"I'm Manual, what is your name?" the Mexican looking angel asked.
"I'm the emperor Frieza, or I was, my empire has collapsed. Now my previously exiled cousin Icey rules as a president! What the hell is a president and why wasn't I informed about it?" Frieza asked.
"There is much more to life than ruling an empire," Miriam said.
"Why are you wearing that scarf over your head young lady?" Frieza asked.
"I'm a Muslim, sometimes angels are Christians, Jews and Muslims, just like Jinns." Miriam said.
"Well I hate the color pink! It's also so stupid that angels can be any religion too." Frieza said.
"We're part of a higher power, what difference does it make?" Lucy asked.
"It means a great deal to me, because…I'm an emperor God damn it!" Frieza yelled.
The angels all had a shocked look on their faces, Miriam ended up crying. This thing they encountered was just so mean.
"Let's get out of here," Manual said.
"Yes get the fuck out of here heathens!" Frieza yelled.
The poor angel children screamed and flew the hell away from Frieza. Frieza now went back to being in a fetal position and thought about how much longer he could stand this.
Zarbon and Bruce Macskavsky went to a movie together; Zarbon was in charge of making sure he didn't drink any alcohol. He thought that taking him to a Woody Allen flick was a great idea, but it wasn't!
They sat in the theater together and were talking during the entire film! They were whispering of course, and the film was so boring that they asked questions here and there starting with the most awkward question of them all!
"Sir you do realize that drinking doesn't solve a thing right? My brother-in-law, the one that tried to rape your daughters, he used to drink a lot and he used to beat my half-sister up, and their kids." Zarbon said.
"But Zarbon I'm usually a very happy drunk." Bruce said.
"It's to the point where you are going to their school and embarrassing them! Might I remind you that you passed out on the floor of Erin's dance studio in front of a group of frightened girls?" Zarbon said.
He was referring to that one night where it was Bruce's turn to pick Erin up from dance classes; he arrived at the studio and passed out. A bunch of girls saw this and panicked, and one of the dance instructors had to be the one to drive him and Erin home. Diana ended up taking Bruce back to the dance studio in the morning to pick his car up.
"Relax I got it under control." Bruce said.
"Bruce, you have lost touch with reality. Your daughter Erin is dating a guy, who forgets to flush the toilet! His smell reeks death and it's disgusting." Zarbon said.
"How would you know he would forget to flush the toilet?" Bruce asked.
"I found his lump sum of presents when I used the toilet last, I know Erin doesn't forget, Morgan doesn't forget either, and I most certainly don't forget. Diana also doesn't use Erin and Morgan's upstairs bathroom very often and I highly doubt she is the culprit. What a clearer explanation?" Zarbon asked.
"Not really, thanks." Bruce said.
So they quieted down and as soon as the movie was over, they went out to eat. They could talk all they wanted and they would eat.
"I will have a double cheese burger with a side of fries." Bruce said handing the menu to a woman.
"I will have a vegetarian salad," Zarbon said hanging the menu to the waitress, the waitress left.
"That's a boring dinner for you." Bruce said.
"It's not boring, I don't eat meat unless its reptiles, crustaceans, mollusks and fish." Zarbon said.
"I got an interesting question, what are your motives for my daughter?" Bruce asked.
"What are you talking about? You have two daughters." Zarbon said.
"I'm talking about the autistic one, the one that might have a mild case of brain damage in the form of mild autism, who may never find love." Bruce said.
"You don't know that, she might find love, and then again, maybe she won't. You can't assume things because she's mildly autistic, I get along with her just fine." Zarbon said.
Then Zarbon realized that he spoke too soon, Bruce glared at him, "Excuse me?"
"I, I mean we're the best of friends, and she has a wonderful friend called Jada, why ask for true love when you can have friends surrounding you. Besides you don't know if she and I were meant to be, I don't even know that, but I kind of…oh no! Not again." Zarbon said.
"Ah ha! You do want to get into her pants don't you?" Bruce said.
"No, not yet at least, I mean…" Zarbon could not finish in sentence.
"Just stop right there, you hurt my little girl, I will do all I can to destroy you!" Bruce said pounding his fist on the table.
"Sir, I'm an alien, I have fantasies and pleasures like you earthlings. However, I won't act on them, I'm just too what's the word I am looking for?"
"Whiny? Bratty? Stubborn? Full of gunk?" Bruce asked.
"You just severely misunderstand me; this is why I hesitated when Morgan told me to spend some time with you." Zarbon said crossing his arms.
"You also have that other form, it's hideous and I don't understand how women would want you after seeing that." Bruce said.
Zarbon then said, "Like I said, I cannot help that. Besides, you will rarely see me transform because…"
"Yah, yah, yah it's because you hate being ugly. We know Zarbon, we're not stupid." Bruce said.
So after Zarbon dropped Bruce off at his house, he went and got that bottle of vodka that Morgan wanted badly. The ID had his actual birthdate on and it was completely easy for him to get this. So he came home and Morgan was waiting up for him in the kitchen, "Want to go into the basement?" Morgan asked.
"Sure," Zarbon said.
So they drank some vodka and talked a while, and then the action really started when Morgan started getting drunk, "Oh Zarbon baby, I want more!" She slurred.
"I don't think that is such a good idea," Zarbon said drinking straight from the bottle with a disgusted look on his face; he just wasn't into hard liquor at all.
"Give me! Give me!" Morgan said, but Zarbon put his hand on her face and lightly pushed her back into her seat.
"In your wildest dreams!" Zarbon said laughing.
Then as time went on, they were so wasted that they started saying things that they probably wouldn't say if they were sober.
"You know Morgan, I still want to marry you and have ten or fifteen children with you! I was thinking that we would have two set of twins and two set of triplets, you know to kill one bird with two stones." Zarbon said smiling.
Morgan started laughing and snorting, "That is so cute, and creepy at the same time, I don't think I could have fifteen kids. Way too many of them, and I would have a hard time remembering every single one of their names."
"But I loved you ever since I laid my eyes on you! It was love at first sight!" Zarbon said.
"Oh Zarbon, there is no such thing as love at first sight. That shit only happens in fairy tales. It's naive to fall in love with someone you just met. What if they have a rotten personality, what if they belch a lot?" Morgan said belching.
Zarbon stared lovingly at Morgan, "Oh come on, please tell me you find me physically attractive, I know you do." Zarbon said.
"So what if I do? That doesn't mean anything; I don't think I can marry someone who takes bubble baths." Morgan said laughing.
"Relax; the bubbles I use make me smell manly, not girly." Zarbon said.
"Ok that gives me some piece of mind. I remember when I met you; I thought you were the stupidest thing in the world. I mean who the fuck asks someone to marry them after knowing them for like not more than twenty-four hours." Morgan said.
"That's a pretty harsh thing to say." Zarbon said looking down.
"However, over these past few months, I come to find out that you aren't such as dumbass. You aren't like other handsome guys I have run into." Morgan said.
"You mean that in a good way right?" Zarbon asked.
"Of course, most of the handsome guys I bumped into have little to no brain cells. I mean given the chance I wouldn't fuck any of those guys, let alone anyone else in our school. Most of the male population in our school, I am repulsed by. Hell when I told my sister, she told me that aliens weren't the answer to my man problems." Morgan said.
"I'm sorry what do you mean?" Zarbon asked.
"You are going to be so mad at me, but I may have thought I had a crush on you or something. I asked my sister about it, and she thinks that, oh never mind what she thinks." Morgan said.
"Wait, so you have a crush on me? And all this time when I told you that I wanted to marry you and have kids with you, you didn't even bother to tell me this?" Zarbon asked.
"Why else do you think I asked you to have sex with me nights ago? Do you think I would just ask any guy that? I am very much stuck on the fence about you; I cannot help but think what if? On the other hand, I don't want to ruin this wonderful friendship we have." Morgan said.
"But I don't get it, if you have such a crush on me, why don't you want to be with me? I have openly expressed to you that I want something more with you. Is it our age difference, or maybe because I'm an alien, or are you turned off by my personality?" Zarbon asked.
"I basically ask myself, why didn't I ask this guy out after he saved my life? Just because a guy saves you from being raped and killed doesn't mean that you should be with him, I mean that's just fairy tale nonsense. If anyone went by that nonsense then what would happened if the heroes of the stories would be their own brothers or fathers?" Morgan asked.
"Perhaps you present a valid point." Zarbon said.
"I also thank you for buying vodka for us, I mean can you imagine me going out and buying stuff like this, it's illegal for me to do that." Morgan said.
"Wait, illegal?" Zarbon asked.
"Yes, where the fuck have you been under a rock? You have to be twenty one to buy and consume alcohol." Morgan said.
"So what you are telling me is that I did something illegal?" Zarbon asked.
"I wouldn't say that, relax nobody has to know about it, now if you will excuse me, I have to get out of here, your negativity is blocking my aura." Morgan said trying to get up but struggling to get up.
"I wouldn't try to get up; you are so drunk that you are at risk for falling down and hurting yourself." Zarbon said.
"I thought I hurt your feelings too much for you to give a shit." Morgan said.
"Yes you did hurt my feelings, but not enough for me to hate you." Zarbon said.
"Oh that's so sweet of you, any particular reason why that is?" Morgan asked crawling over to Zarbon.
"If you were paying any attention to what I have been telling you, then you would know by now." Zarbon said.
"I'm too wasted to any pay attention to what you have been telling me." Morgan said laughing. She then decided to snuggle up to Zarbon, and lay down on top of him.
"Zarbon do you think you will be my BFF forever?" Morgan asked.
"Maybe, who knows? Maybe someday we might be more than that." Zarbon said.
"Oh well, I'm not promising anything, I'm still fifteen you know, I need to do the most stupid shit in the world before I think about settling down with anyone." Morgan said.
Zarbon then said, "Who said we had to get married, I'm willing to uh…"
"Ah you wanna be fuck buddies, nice." Morgan said giggling.
"No, you don't understand… never mind, I'll tell you some other time." Zarbon said giving up; he knew he could not win this conversation, especially since she was just as wasted as he was.
"Good night, sleep dreams," Morgan said falling asleep on him.
"I was going to say I would start out being your boyfriend, but now that you are asleep, just never mind." Zarbon said.
In the wee hours of the morning, Zarbon woke up and Morgan woke up too. They felt like shit and then Morgan got off of Zarbon, and then looked at him, "Oh dear God, I'm so sorry," Morgan said.
"Whatever for? It's my fault that we both got drunk, if I hadn't bought that stupid vodka bottle, then… right now I just feel like shit ok?" Zarbon said.
All the sudden Diana came down into the basement followed by Bruce! They both saw Morgan and Zarbon kind of just sitting on the floor, they both looked horrible and like they did not want to be bothered.
"Oh my goodness, have you two been drinking?" Diana asked.
"No, why do you ask?" Morgan asked.
"Bruce, this is exactly what I have been telling you! You are a terrible influence on the children!" Diana said.
"Children? Zarbon is not a child, he's an adult." Bruce said.
"Regardless, you must have done something to influence both of these two to get drunk!" Diana said.
"What are you even doing here dad?" Morgan asked.
"What am I doing here? Why did you two get drunk! Also did you two have sex? You better not have or else!" Bruce said.
"Relax, I did not even touch her, in fact I don't even remember the conversations we had, do you?" Zarbon asked.
He really did not remember of their conversations, not matter how hard he tried. Why would he when he drank most of the vodka bottle? Yes Zarbon was a tall and well-built enough guy where he wouldn't get drunk so easily, but when liquor was strong, it failed him.
"Nope, I don't…I need to…" Morgan got up and ran to the toilet to throw up into.
"Zarbon we need to have a talk right now!" Diana said.
"Can I go throw up really quickly?" Zarbon asked.
As it turned out, Bruce came over to borrow a shovel he needed to do some yard work. So after Zarbon threw up his amounts of consumed alcohol, later on he had to sit in front of Diana in the living room. She was not pleased and for good reason.
"Zarbon, you seem like a good person, but I cannot help but think that you bought that alcohol so that you could get my daughter drunk." Diana said.
Zarbon didn't want to rat out Morgan, he just couldn't do that to his "beloved", when in actuality she had the tendency to be more or less a bad girl.
"I wasn't trying to get her drunk madam, I thought that maybe we could sit and drink as friends." Zarbon said.
"You do know it's illegal for teenagers to consume alcohol don't you?" Diana asked.
"No, so many people at Pike drink alcohol I assumed it was normal." Zarbon said.
"You mean to tell me that for the past few months you have lived on this planet, you did not once know it was illegal? What laws do you not know about exactly?" Diana asked.
"Well I do know it's illegal to kill people, unless it's legitimate self-defense." Zarbon said.
Morgan then came into the room, "Mom what are you telling him?" Morgan asked.
"I am lecturing him on why it was his fault and wrong for him to buy and share alcohol with you." Diana said.
"It's my fault mom, I told him to do it, and I might have even…you know." Morgan said seductively smiling.
Zarbon looked down shyly, although he was not really one hundred percent fooled by her smile, she did have a rather pretty smile and made her look rather beautiful. Damn it, how could he be so stupid and let this girl fool him into getting her vodka? She should have told him about the law, or not brought up the alcohol at all. It wasn't really horrible betrayal nor did he feel betrayed, but why did she have to do it?
"No I don't know what." Diana said.
"You know, maybe have wanted to…" Morgan then did not finish her sentence and kind of chuckled.
"Morgan I still don't know what you are talking about, I'm not a mind reader." Diana said.
"Oh never mind, but hey I thanked him for it and I really appreciate that he did that for me. Would you have done that for me mom?" Morgan asked.
"No because it's illegal that's why. Now apologize to poor Zarbon for making him think that it was ok for you to consume alcohol." Diana said.
"I'm sorry Mr. Zarbon sir, I won't do it again," Morgan said.
"Good now hopefully this won't happen again." Diana said walking out of the room.
Zarbon turned to Morgan, no he wasn't going to start yelling at her like the majority of you are thinking. While he didn't put Morgan completely on a pedestal and never once thought she could do no wrong, at least he knew that she must have come in to stick up for him.
"Morgan, why did you do that?" He asked.
"Do what?" Morgan asked.
"You stood up for me. Why take the downfall when I am the one who bought the vodka?" Zarbon asked.
"I'm not completely cruel, of course I'm going to stand up for you, you are my BFF, if we get into trouble, we come out of it together! Nobody gets left behind, no matter if one person is wrong or whatnot." Morgan said.
Zarbon then looked at her, perhaps this was horrible timing, but he knew what he wanted to ask her.
"I was wondering I would love to take you out to dinner sometime. I did some research on the area we live in, and they have some great restaurants that serve excellent seafood and even Italian food. Would you like to try it out with me sometime?" Zarbon asked.
"Uh well, I really don't like Italian food to tell the truth." Morgan said.
"Japanese perhaps?" Zarbon asked.
"I appreciate your determination, but after that opera incident and now that incident when we were drinking together, why would you want to rush going to a restaurant together? Can Jada come with us?" Morgan asked.
"I was just hoping it would be the two of us," Zarbon said.
"That's cute that you thought that," Morgan said.
"You said that you were stuck on the fence about me, if that is the case then why do you deny me the pleasure of taking you out to eat and simply trying to get to know you better?" Zarbon asked.
"Wait when did I say I was stuck on the fence about you?" Morgan asked.
"When you were drunk, I remember everything you said, the memories have come back to me. You said that you even told your sister that you might like me more than a friend." Zarbon said.
Oh fuck! Oh fuck! She was so screwed now; she we guess was under the impression that since they were both drunk that nobody would remember what the other said. She was wrong, dead wrong! She needed to come up with something and quick.
"You were drunk too, how do you know that if I said any of that that I was telling the truth?" Morgan asked.
"When people get drunk, they have the courage to say pretty much anything they are keeping hidden from other people. It's a simple fact. Also I remember when you, Jada and I were in the car and you blurted out that you were worried about me yelling at a priest or something that stupid, at our wedding. Care to explain that?" Zarbon said.
"I don't remember that either, I must have been drunk that time too." Morgan said.
"No you weren't dear," Zarbon said kind of cracking a smile.
"To be honest though, you aren't the type of guys that I usually go out to dinner with." Morgan said.
"Ok fine, besides Tre and Jada what type of guys do you go out with to dinner, especially if it's just the two of you?" Zarbon asked.
Damn it, there was no use lying to him! This handsome, yet eccentric humanoid creature had her cornered. He was just too cunning, curious and too smart for her own good. He didn't look like a very smart person, but the truth was that he was! She almost completely underestimated him, simply because he was good looking!
The sad truth was that this was the first guy ever to show any kind of straight forward interest in her. She had never been on any dates with any other guy, and going out to eat and hanging out with Tre and Jada did not count. Morgan was kind of flabbergasted, damn thing bruised her ego! She looked at him hopelessly and sometimes eyed other parts of the room.
Zarbon then realized his mistake, "I'm sorry I asked," Zarbon said.
"I'm going to go and listen to one of my David Sanborn CDs." Morgan said walking out of the room.
"Morgan please, don't be that way. I didn't mean to offend you, I was simply asking." Zarbon said.
Yes you are going to have to see part two of this particular episode, chapter, whatever you wanna call it.
