1Chapter 12 - A Triple Date?!
Several weeks passed since the arrival of Krillin and Andie to Orange Star High School, and things were going well for our six friends. ChiChi and Bulma have been showing Andie around the city every chance they had. The same can be said for Krillin who has been hanging out with Goku and Vegeta just as long. It was their idea for Krillin to train with them in martial arts so he can become stronger and stay in shape. Krillin liked this idea, but he knew that training with his friends wouldn't be a picnic. It was on one such training session that the talk about girls came up once they were done with a strenuous workout.
"Whew, you guys weren't kidding when you said I would get stronger if I trained with you. Granted, I feel a bit worn out, but it's worth it if I can be as tough as you guys," Krillin said as they all lay back on the floor and covered in small bruises. The boys began to laugh and wince at the same time at Krillin's words. "That may be true, but at the rate we're going, we'll be worn out before our girlfriends get their hands on us," Vegeta said. Krillin turned a bright red at the thought of dating Andie, but hasn't had the chance to ask her out formally. "Say Krillin, are you okay over there? Don't tell us you're still embarrassed about asking her out, are you?" Goku asked his new friend. Krillin laughed nervously but knew Goku was right. "I guess you can say that I am very shy around a girl that I like. Especially one who is friends with your girlfriends. Seriously, do you guys think I even have a chance?" The boys stood up to their feet, and Vegeta had an idea. "Before you two transferred in, Kakarotto and I went on a double date and that turned out pretty well. I'm sure the girls are having this same conversation with each other about you right now."
And Vegeta wasn't wrong about that one at all. ChiChi, Bulma and Andie were lounging around the house talking about the things they like to do: shopping, boys and more shopping. But when the topic of boys came up, poor Andie turned bright red because she didn't have a boy to talk about yet. Bulma noticed the look on her new friend's face, and knew what it meant. "Hey Andie, are you really that nervous about dating somebody? Or is it that you have someone in mind that you want to date?" Andie's thoughts wandered in her head, and Krillin came up many times over each time. "I don't know how to explain it, but I… I have a crush on the guy hanging out with Goku and Vegeta. I felt a spark, if you will, when we first met," she said feeling a bit flushed. ChiChi recalled in her mind about her first date with Goku, and understood how Andie felt. "Don't be so hard on yourself. I know what you're going through, and I think we have an idea on how this can be fixed," she said with a reassuring smile. "I'm sure Krillin is feeling the same way as you are, and wants to make something happen too. We should all get together and go out on the town," Chi said. Both Andie and Bulma were all smiles when ChiChi came up with that idea. "So it's a triple date, huh? This will definitely be worth the fun of seeing the guys outside of school. And out of those sweaty training clothes," Andie said as a thought of Krillin dressed up for her made her smile.
It wasn't long before Bulma got to thinking where they should go for this date since the movies idea was already used. "Hmm, this is a tough one. We went to the movies for our last date, and they both passed with flying colors. I wonder where we could go for this one? Now let me think for a moment," she said as she held her head in thought. ChiChi and Andie just sat there and looked at their friend until Bulma finally got something in her head. "Hey Chi, you know how we've been trying to teach Goku and Vegeta how to dance? Well we could try it here at my place, and if Krillin is anything like the guys, this will work out for all three of us," Bulma said as she snapped her fingers. Andie blushed as she spoke, "Uh, guys. I don't know how to dance either, so before we teach them can you teach me first?" The girls both nodded in agreement, and began their own training for Andie with some good music.
Meanwhile, the boys were having a bit of a snack to recover from their workout. "So I wonder where we're going for our date this time. Last time we went to the movies for a double date, and it did go well for us then," Goku said with a smile. Vegeta and Krillin were wondering what would be in store for them. "So it's a triple date for us all huh? Sounds like we'll be in for a wild time with the girls once this date starts up, and what will we be doing on it?" Vegeta asked as Krillin & Goku thought at the same time. "I'm beginning to wonder myself... since this will be my first date with any girl in my life," Krillin said as his new friends looked at him in shock and surprise. That's when all three of them sighed heavily at the thought of what would be in store for them. "Looks like we'll find out in just a moment," Vegeta said as he looked down at his phone. "Bulma's calling in right now." Vegeta answered the call while Goku and Krillin sat in anticipation. That all changed when Vegeta's facial expression changed as Bulma spoke to him about the plan. "Well guys, it's official. We're going for our first triple date. But the thing is... we're going to be doing it on our toes," Vegeta said solemnly. "Say what? Are you saying we're going to be dancing?" Goku and Krillin asked together. Vegeta nodded, and he knew what that meant. "We're going to be wearing the fancy clothes this time, boys. And it gets worse. We're ballroom dancing." Before the day was done, all six fell on their beds; three of them giggling furiously while the other three just fell out of breath.
The plans have been laid out, and there's no backing out of this one. Can our boy wonders do good on their toes, or will they fall on their faces? Check it out on the next chapter of "To Lose or To Love".
