Chibi Piccolo goes to High School 9

Bulma and D.L. were getting ready for the Christmas dance at capsule corps. They were in Bulma's room listening to music and doing their hair.

Bulma was wearing a little purple dress with shimmery fringes all over it. D.L. wore a bright red festive dress. Bulma picked up the glitter spray and sprayed it in D.L.'s hair.

*Ssssspppppssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh*

'Neat! That looks cool. Now do mine.'

*Ssssspppppssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh*

The girls admired themselves in Bulma's mirror.

'Great, now we're ready to party!'

DING DONG!

The doorbell sounded in perfect time.

'That'll be the boys,' D.L. grinned.

Downstairs they heard Mrs Briefs welcoming the boys inside and offering them a hot Christmas pie.

'Bet Goku didn't say no!' laughed Bulma.

There was a knock on her bedroom door and Dr Briefs looked in.

'You girls ready?... Oh! You look great! Well that's your friends here.'

'Thanks dad,' Bulma kissed him on the cheek as they went down to meet Piccolo and Goku.

The boys faces lit up when they saw the girls all dressed up. 'Whhhoooaa!'

'You look pretty good yourself,' D.L. winked at Piccolo and Goku.

The chibis were both dressed in smart black suits and the girls were impressed.

Mrs Briefs looked at them with a tear in her eye.

'My, you all look so grown up! Let me get a photo of you.'

She got her camera out and the four friends grouped together for a picture. Then they stepped out into the cold air to walk to the school.

When they got to the front door, they fished in their bags and pockets for their tickets. They handed them to Miss Pen who was collecting tickets at the door.

'Great job with the tickets,' she smiled at Piccolo. 'I just love the little zebras on them!'

'Uh, ... thanks.'

'I'll see you kids inside. Have fun!'

So off they went into the dance hall. The lights were out, replaced by flashing coloured lights. The band was playing party music, and the kids were chatting and dancing. The hall was beautifully decorated and the food and drink was laid out on tables round the room.

They went to the table and got themselves a cup of fruit punch each. Bulma waved to the band as she sipped her drink.

'So, Goku. Wanna dance?' she held out her hand.

'Sure, Bulma.'

They wandered off to the dance floor leaving Piccolo and D.L. standing by the punch.

*silence*

'So are you gonna just stand there or are you gonna ask me to dance?' D.L. frowned at him.

Alright, alright!

'Do you... wanna dance?'

'Well duh!'

D.L. took his hand and they went to the middle of the floor. Piccolo felt a little uneasy.

What's wrong with me? Maybe it's cos I've just met her. I don't know her that well. Yeah, must be that.

The chibi Namek looked at D.L. and saw two big bright eyes sparkling at him. He relaxed and put his arm around her, leading her in the dance.

'Wow, you dance really well!' D.L. was impressed by Piccolo's moves.

'So I've been told,' he replied with a cocky grin.

They danced off happily around the room.

Meanwhile, at the punch bowl...

Sked and Vegeta were hiding underneath the table. It was covered by the draping tablecloth so no one could see them. Vegeta had a backpack, and out of it he pulled... three bottles... of vodka!! Vegeta had bullied an older kid into buying it earlier, threatening to blast him to the next dimension.

Sked giggled loudly and Vegeta smacked him round the head. 'Shut up!'

Sked pouted.

'Now tip them into the teachers punch,' Vegeta whispered to his lackey.

Sked nodded and reached out from under the table with the bottle in his hand. With his other hand he felt for the bowl of punch and then tipped the vodka in from where he was hiding.

Vegeta began to snicker behind his hand. 'Yes, that's it.'

Sked suddenly stopped pouring. 'Vegeta?'

'What is it?'

'Uh, nothing.'

What Sked was really thinking was How do I know if I poured it into the right bowl? There's five bowls on this table! But he didn't want to get another smack round the head for asking a stupid question, so instead he poured some vodka into every bowl!

When he had stopped pouring Vegeta grinned at him.

'Alright, good work Sked! Now lets go get a drink ourselves!' ...

So the dance is underway, and Sked's mistake is going to change things for EVERYONE! (hic)
The Christmas dance will continue on the next episode
