A/N: I'll try to make this as funny as I can but…it'll be hard! Okay enough babbling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So,
where exactly did you buy this book that has caused me so much grief and
anguish?" Piccolo asked.
"I told you. From
a gypsy guy and it was a nickel. Dende was right! You are dense." Goten laughed
as Piccolo stopped flying and grabbed Goten by the collar.
"What
did you say?!" Piccolo asked.
"Geez,
I'm sorry! In the old days you wouldn't have been such a soft touch Piccy."
Goten replied. Piccolo just seethed and let go of Goten.
"Where
the hell is that accursed book?"
"At
my house."
"Alright
then. Let's go."
"Okay
but I'll warn you, it's pretty freaky over there. It's like my whole family is
incognito." Goten said.
"…Is
that some sort of sandwich?" Piccolo asked.
"Never
mind."
Goten
and Piccolo arrived and decided to go in the back way through the kitchen so as
to not freak Piccolo out. Unfortunately for them that plan backfired. Goku was
in the kitchen, singing to the radio, with a frilly pink apron on and a bandana
around his head but worse of all he was cooking. And it smelled wonderful.
"Oh
great. My dad has now become a crossdressing chef!" Goten muttered but Goku
just laughed.
"Don't
be silly son! I just thought that I'd give your mother a break and I'd cook
something for her since you and your brother ate all the food." Goku replied
cheerfully. Piccolo swallowed hard. "Get up offa that thing! And dance if you
feel better!" Goku sang.
"Just
out of curiosity, did you eat anything?" Goten asked.
"No,
I'm on a diet." Goku replied matter-of-factly. Piccolo paled. (Hehe, Piccolo
pale.)
"Y'know,
that really wasn't necessary." Goten told Piccolo as he handed him a wet cloth.
Piccolo placed it on his forehead.
"I
wouldn't exactly faint on purpose you know. Your dad going on a diet is like
Vegeta being happy…wait…that already happened. Aw man!" Piccolo said.
"I'd
hate to tell you this but the book is missing." Goten said, as if it didn't
bother him.
"Nani?"
Piccolo said with a calm tone of voice that it scared Goten.
"I…c-c-c-c-c-can't
find the b-b-book." Goten replied. Piccolo's pupils went to the size of
pinpricks.
"F…!"
"Hehehe.
Didn't know Piccolo could use that much swearing! I'm so proud. BURP!"
Gohan said wiping a fake tear from his eye.
"Oh
my kami…" Goten said.
"WHAT
THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU DO WITH THE FREAKIN BOOK?!" Piccolo yelled.
"So
many profanities. So many. Wah! My mind has been plagued with the harsh
realities of real life!! I'd break down and cry but I seem not to be able to do
that anymore." Goten said, his eyes as wide as saucers. Piccolo grabbed him and
shook him.
"Snap
out of it Goten!! You need to keep a level head!!" Piccolo exclaimed.
"HOW?!"
Goten asked. Piccolo was stumped.
"I
told you you'd need me." The thing said, reappearing. Piccolo and Goten jumped
in shock.
"YOU!"
Piccolo said in contempt.
"Nice
to see you too Pic." The thing said.
"DON'T
CALL ME PIC!! OR PICCY!!! OR ANY OTHER MISCONCEPTION OF MY NAME!!!" Piccolo
yelled.
"You'd
think he'd want to change his name, he is named after a musical instrument!"
The thing said as Piccolo seethed.
"Can
you help us…um…what do I call you?" Goten asked.
"I
can help you but you can just call me sir for now." The thing replied.
"That's
kind of bureaucratic isn't it?" Goten said.
"Huh?"
The thing and Piccolo asked.
"Never
mind. What exactly can we do?"
"Well,
you're going to have to get a few items from a magic shop in North City." The
thing said handing them a list. Goten raised an eyebrow and held out his hand.
"Well?
These things don't exactly come free of charge you know!" Goten said as Piccolo
face-faulted. The thing handed Goten a wad of money and Piccolo and Goten flew
off.
"Here
it is, let's go in." Goten said.
"Yes
mom." Piccolo muttered. They went in and walked to the front counter. Goten rang
the bell repeatedly.
"ALRIGHT!!
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!!" A singsong voice echoed.
"Oh
please no. No, anything but that." Piccolo said trembling.
"Do
you know that guy or girly sounding guy?" Goten asked and Piccolo nodded.
"Tis
a cruel fate to see this." Piccolo muttered. A very peppy Yamcha came running
up the stairs.
"So?
What can I do you for?" Yamcha asked. He was wearing a headband to hold his
hair, a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt that had DIVA written on it in gold. Goten's
mouth hit the floor.
"We
need these ingredients." Goten said very quietly and handed it to Yamcha.
"I
recognise you!! You're Son Goku's boy aren't you?" Yamcha practically squealed.
Goten nodded. "Ah yes. You're the spitting image of him. Your mom is a lucky
gal." Yamcha said as he went to go get the ingredients.
"Woah,
I guess everything really has switched around." Piccolo said. Goten looked
around the shop and saw a picture.
"Hey
Pic! Come and look at this." Goten said. Piccolo came over mumbling about
certain half Saiya-jin boys who get a beating for calling him Pic. "Doesn't this
guy look familiar to you?"
"DAMN!!
IT'S THAT BLACK FLOATING GUY!!" Piccolo yelled. There was a little inscription
at the bottom of the picture.
"The
mischief spirit who goes by the name 'Matricario' has a history of turning
worlds upside down by tricking young innocents into doing his evil bidding." Goten
read.
"So,
what does that have to do with us?" Piccolo asked as Goten gave him a look of
despair.
"HE
WAS THE GYPSY WHO SOLD ME THE MAGIC KIT!!! He tricked me, me being the young
innocent!!"
"I
agree with the young part but innocent…"
"He
took your wind."
"HE
DID WHAT?! Alright that's it!! He's geography!" Piccolo yelled.
"Don'tcha
mean history?" Goten asked.
"Don't
change the subject. Hehe. I made a funny. Ohmigosh!! We'd better find him
before I permanently become like this!!" Piccolo said flying off.
"It's
always me, me, me with that guy. I'm starting to think fusing with all those
guys has made him a bit crazy." Goten said flying after him.
End of this part…
