The Other Me
Chapter 12
Hello, Town Festival
"Look Trunks the sun's up over the horizon it must be noon right now. We must have been sleeping for more than eight hours" Pan said with one eye open and the other eye still dreaming.
Trunks wasn't paying attention, he was still snoring like a pig. The snoring became a nuisance and pan got angry.
"Listen to me moron, wake up."
Trunks out snored himself like in a game and finally woke up from Pan's noise.
"What do you want Pan, you know it's impolite to wake someone up from their sleep."
Pan grimaced and was about to slap him. Yet she always got into fights with him, so like a good girl she tried to compromise.
"I was trying to tell you its noon and it's a good time to explore the town we're in."
"Oh! I'm just tired you know the dessert was a drag." Trunks replied sighing in exhaustion."
"There's plenty of water around town, and more food so you don't have to worry."
Trunks agreed to go look around town.
The Inn had allowed a stay for 100 zenny per day; Trunks and Pan couldn't stay any longer in the future since they were running low on cash. They had to find a job.
When they exited the Inn the two saw a large town filled with small wooden houses. The people that lived here were small town folk with little urban technology.
"So what do you want to do now Pan." Trunks asked bewildered.
Pan looked at him as if he was a moron in disguise, or just acting like one.
"We have to go and find water like we said." Pan replied.
"Alright, do you have enough zenny because I think we spent it all at the Inn."
"We had 200 zenny altogether and now we have 100."
Pan counted her money and decided they could buy water, which they did, two gallons worth.
"Tasty water, I appreciate this lot Pan, but now we're almost out of cash."
As they drank the water walking from the store a man came over from behind looking at their thirsty faces.
Trunks and Pan thought he was crazy at first and tried to scamper off.
"Wait the two of you, do you want to make some cash. I see you too are travelers. You're not from around here are you?" The man said assuming the truth.
The two looked at each other taking this opportunity first hand.
"What do you have in mind for us old man." The two sayjins replied excitedly.
The man smiled.
"There is a town festival happening soon and whoever brings the most of a certain item wins and gets a large sum of zenny."
"We're in then."
"Alright follow me."
The man asked them to follow them to his house where he explained what the festival was about and what was to be given.
"Whoever brings the most crystals of life to the shrine of destiny will get the most zenny."
Trunks and Pan were baffled.
"What are you talking about" The sayjins said.
"Crystals of life are ancient instruments of life energy that sustain humans and other beings; they give power to them too. They can also be used to make a power stronger."
"Amazing, how did we not know about this", Trunks replied.
"It is because this was kept secret for thousand of years for protection of human kind."
"Now it is used for life festivals to bring peace and good."
"I see old man" Trunks replied.
Pan pondered.
"So this can be a dangerous instrument?" Pan said in question.
The old man agreed.
