Goku and Piccolo sat at the back of the class as Miss Pen handed out todays assignment.
'Alright class, today I want you to write a paragraph on what you did last night after school.'
Piccolo put his head in his hands and groaned.
'Alright!' Goku said enthusiastically and got to work, scribbling away.
Don't do it, Goku.
Piccolo looked at his sheet of blank paper.
Hmm. What am I gonna write?
Last night after school I ...
talked to my ...
friend, Vegeta. Then I went to the laundrette with Goku to wash my clothes.
...
Afterwards we went for a walk. It was a nice night.
Piccolo put his pen down.
'Now pass them up to the front children.'
*sound of paper rustling as the essays get passed to the front.*
Miss Pen read them at her desk, whistling a sweet tune to herself. Suddenly she stopped whistling and frowned.
'Goku!!'
'Yes miss?' Goku looked guilty at the tone of her voice.
'We do not like liars in this class. I am disappointed in you. Go stand in the corner.'
'But Miss, I didn't lie!'
'Are you telling me that you and Piccolo got trapped inside a golden washing machine and warped to another place?'
'Yes miss!'
'And then you raced some evil kids in a mad scientist's van?'
'Yes miss!'
'Goku!! More lies! You can stay behind after class for lines. Now in the corner and not another word.'
Goku hung his head and walked to the corner. Piccolo snickered to himself.
I can't believe he wrote what really happened! ... I guess he just can't lie.
Unlucky for Goku, telling the truth had landed him in trouble this time ^.^
'Now, as you know the Christmas dance is not long away,' Miss Pen was back to her usual kind self. 'So starting today, we are going to have dance classes in the afternoons.'
'Yay!'
Piccolo was not sure what to make of it. He had never been to a school dance before. In fact, he had never ever danced before.
That afternoon, the chibi students lined up in the sports hall, boys on one side and girls on the other. The room was filled with excited chatter.
'SILENCE!' Mr Cain's voice boomed.
The room went silent.
'Now, Miss Pen and I will show you the dance steps and then you can practice.'
Mr Cain put his arm around Miss Pen's waist, and she put her arm around his neck. This caused wolf whistles, mostly from the boys side of the hall. A warning look from Mr Cain put a stop to them.
'Music!' Mr Cain ordered.
The janitor dozed in the corner.
'MUSIC!' yelled Mr Cain.
'Huh?...uh?' the janitor snapped awake and pressed the play button on the CD player.
A waltz melody began to fill the hall and Mr Cain and Miss Pen moved in perfect time to the music.
'1-2-3, 2-2-3,' Mr Cain called out the timing as they performed the dance.
When they finished, the room filled with applause.
...And a couple more wolf whistles!
...Which were silenced by a look from Mr Cain once more!
Miss Pen smiled at the students. 'OK class, now it's your turn. Girls, I want you to go pick a boy as your partner. Don't be shy now - on you go!'
The girls began to make their way across to the other side of the hall, giggling. Some ran and some hung back. Piccolo leaned back against the wall.
Great. No one's gonna pick the green guy from Namek! I'm gonna get stuck with the girl nobody else wants ta dance with.
Goku was quickly asked to dance by the prettiest girl in the class, Lure.
Piccolo closed his eyes. He was resigned to the fact that he would get the ugliest girl in the class. He felt a tap on his arm and opened his eyes...
