Before I knew it there were stacks of ramen bowls circling Goku on the dining room table. Not to mention all the wrappers and packaging of whatever food that was left in the pantry. He hadn't given me any type of explanation since we entered my apartment, I was becoming quite anxious. This had to have been the craziest night of my life. Damien would randomly come to mind and I tried to push him out of my thoughts as much as possible. I wasn't going to let him get to me when he wasn't even present. I just knew that if we were still together, this situation would definitely get me in trouble with him. Although it always felt like I was in trouble with him, I felt like a punished child most of the time. No. Fuck him, I'm just going to gawk at this illuminating man that was now eating all of my food on my dining table and goddamn it I was going to enjoy it.
"So Goku…" I began. His charred eyes peered at me from the brim of the bowl he had just about completed. Despite it being very unlike me I deliberately did not look away when our eyes met.
"I'd like to know how you fell from the sky now." I said still not breaking eye contact. Hopefully this way I would just get used to his looks and keep my face from turning red whenever our eyes met.
He gave me friendliest smile that ran chills down my body and placed his finished bowl down.
"Man Luna you really know how to treat a guest! Thanks for all the food I feel 100% now!"
"Yeah don't worry about it. Can I have some answers please?"
"Ok but first I need to know where I am first…"
"I already told you we are in Austin."
"But where is Austin? What planet is that on?" Is he messing with me?
"Earth! Where else? Can you please be serious for a second?"
His brow furrowed as he crossed his arms and stared into the detail of the wooden table. I wonder what he's thinking about.
"Well I guess this should be expected coming from Lord Beerus. He is the God of Destruction after all…" was all that escaped his tantalizing lips after a brief moment of silence.
"Yeah I'm hopelessly lost now. You have to understand how insane you sound right now, right?" I was becoming frustrated.
"Ok ok but you have to promise to keep an open mind. That's really important!"
I nodded in agreement.
"Here it goes…" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So what I think happened is Lord Beerus was so mad that he literally kicked me into another universe! Universe 8 to be exact, and like I said before I'm from Universe 7's Earth-"
"But you were born on planet Vegeta?"
"Right!"
"So while training with Beerus, Whis, and Vegeta, who is also a person, you made Beerus mad enough to kick you into your neighboring universe. Beerus is the God of Destruction and Whis is his servant even though he's stronger than Beerus. And that is how you ended up in front of my apartment?" We were now seated on the love seat in the living room criss crossed and facing each other. I had just soaked in a ton of information for a whole hour. It was absolutely amazing. Like I was just hearing about the greatest story ever told. I was beyond disbelief at this point, how could I doubt what Goku had just spent an hour explaining to me. It was way too elaborate to be a lie.
"Exactly! I'm so impressed with you Luna you caught on pretty fast. And now you basically know everything!"
I couldn't help but smile at the compliment however the small crush I had developed on the newly discovered Saiyan had indeed been crushed. The moment Goku casually mentioned his wife ChiChi and two sons Gohan and Goten I realized how childish I had been. OF COURSE he had to have been taken by some equally beautiful goddess with gorgeous children. Also, I would've never guessed he had a son so close to my age, he didn't look a day over 25. It was probably for the best that I find out now before I had really gotten myself into trouble. I had this terrible habit of making things seem larger in my mind than they were in reality. It was laughable that I had thought about involving myself with an alien in the first place, there was never a chance and I should've known. There I go again trying to desperately find love in the most irrational places.
"Well thank you for that…insightful information. My outlook on life has definitely changed now that I know that things like this exist. Really Goku thank you for sharing. By the way did you have a way to get back?" I asked. I had become more comfortable talking to him after the news broke about his marriage, it removed a lot of the pressure I had been feeling. I would probably continue to gawk at his looks however…there wasn't any harm in that!
"I'm glad! Thanks for believing me! And yeah don't worry about it, I can just use my instant transmission to get back whenever." He seemed genuinely pleased and I was beginning to wonder if it just didn't take much to make this guy smile, I wished I was that positive all the time. So he had the ability to get back to his planet virtually whenever he wanted to but he had continued to stay here and talk to me..? Snap out of it Luna, he stayed because of the food obviously! Now that he's finished explaining himself he has no reason to stay and will probably initiate his departure soon.
"So now it's your turn Luna! Let's hear your story." He gleamed at me with those eyes. What? He wanted to talk more..and about me?! How bizarre was this night…
"Um. Well that was unexpected…How am I supposed to compete with that outrageous novel you had to share with me? There's really not that much to know honestly haha. Just a regular human here." I nervously replied, waving my hand in front of my face. I sincerely didn't feel like crying at the moment, I had been holding back tears for days and I wasn't about to let it all out to my new alien companion which would definitely occur if I told my actual story. For years I had never revealed what was actually going on in my tormented relationship, I wanted to avoid peoples pity and judgement. No one could ever really understand what I had been through and what I was trying to overcome now that the relationship was somewhat over.
"Aw come on Luna! I'm plenty interested, I've always wondered what kind of lives city folk lived and what their problems were like. I'm also hoping you can explain this energy you've been giving off." He pressed, pleading with his hands as he scooted towards me slimming down the distance between us. Imitating a child he looked desperately into my eyes and I was swayed.
Well damn I guess I was about to make of fool out of myself…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NEW POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"HAHAHA what did I say Whis?! I knew sending him to that universe would be the perfect revenge for his consistent disrespect towards me!" Lord Beerus bellowed as he looked away from the orb of Whis's rod that displayed the image of Goku and Luna conversing.
"I'm still not quite sure what you mean by revenge Lord Beerus?" Whis questioned, whisking away the image from his orb.
"It's only a matter of time now! You'll realize soon enough Whis HAHAHAHA!" Beerus continued to boast as he threw his head back in crazed laughter.
