Mirror of Magic
Chapter 4
"I think we're close." Called Yolee. She was wandering through the woods with Bulma and Boxers. "The dragon radar says that it's right here." Yolee looked up and saw something glittery stuck in a tree. "There it is." She pulled the orange sphere from the tree as it shimmered in the sun. "That was easy. Let's go." Bulma nodded and hopped into Boxers' arms. As they took off, the tree that Yolee got the dragonball from fell over. (Hey, it could happen.)
"Found it!" shouted Pat. Him, Golenn and Videl were swimming in a small lake looking for the dragonball. Pat had retrieved it quickly.
"Good," whined Golenn. "Cause any longer in here and I think I would've shivered to death! It's freezing!!"
"Don't be such a baby!" Videl laughed as she splashed some water at Golenn. Golenn groaned and hovered above the water, using her ki to dry herself off. Videl and Pat did the same and the trio left.
Piccolo grunted as he carried around Mr. Satan on his back.
"How much longer till we find the dragonball?" complained Mr. Satan.
"You're not the one carrying a fat oaf on your back?" Piccolo grumbled under his breath. He lowered to the ground and dropped Mr. Satan off his back. "Start searching."
"Where?" Satan whined.
"Anywhere. Everywhere! Just look!" Piccolo growled impatiently.
"Found it."
"Nani?!"
"I said I found it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, of course."
"It's a dragonball?"
"YES!" shouted Satan. "Can we leave now?" Piccolo could believe it. Mr. Satan of all people actually found the dragonball in two seconds flat. Impossible!
"Fine." Piccolo grumbled. Urgent to get this mission over with, he had Uubu carry Mr. Satan this time.
Soon, all the dragonballs were collected at Capsule Corp. Bulma stepped forward to summon the Eternal Dragon.
"Come forth Dragon and grant my wish!" she called out. The dragonballs began to glow. The sky went black and a bright flash appeared. Soon, it dimmed and the dragon was waiting.
"I am Shenlon, the Eternal Dragon. I can grant three wishes."
"Dragon, my children and friends have been changed into the opposite gender and we wish for them to change back." The dragon was silent for a moment.
"It can not be done." He said a last.
"Why not?!" yelled Yolee.
"Because it is beyond my power. Whatever it was that changed you is much more powerful than I."
"I can't believe it!" whimpered Golenn. "So I'm stuck like this forever?"
"Dragon!" called Bulma. "Can you locate the source of the power?"
"No." he responded. "I am unable to locate this power source." Bulma sighed.
"I'm so, so sorry you guys." She apologized.
"Hey, it's not your fault." Videl comforted Bulma.
"It is." Vegeta muttered.
"Shut your pie hole!" Bulma growled.
"Hey, we still have three wishes." Pat said.
"Oh yeah!" Videl brightened. "What should we wish for."
"Clothes!" Boxers said immediately.
"A hair cut!" yelled Bikini.
"Can we not waste our wishes?" Bulma interrupted. "Dragon, can you make a potion that changes people into the opposite gender?" The dragon was silent again.
"Yes." There was a flash and a bottle of red liquid appeared in front of Bulma. Bulma grasped it carefully.
"Domo arigato!" Bulma praised. "That's all we need, Dragon." He nodded.
"I am done." The sky flashed and the dragon disappeared, along with the dragonballs.
"So what do we do?" asked Golenn.
"Drink it." Bulma said. She handed the bottle to her. Golenn studied it carefully. She was about to take a sip, when suddenly, she felt something nudge her hand and she accidentally dropped the bottle. It fell from her hands and shattered into a million pieces, taking the cure with it.
"Oops." Golenn said shyly. The group had a look of complete horror on their faces.
"How could you?!" screamed Pat.
"Oh shit!!" Yolee cursed. "We won't get dragonball access for a whole year!! Goten! You moron!!" Yolee lunged at Golenn, but was held back by Chi-chi.
"Goku! What is the matter with you?" Chi-chi yelled. "You have never behaved like this before!"
"It's a chemical imbalance." Vegeta laughed. "All saiya-jin women act incredibly violent. Especially proud ones."
"But Goku was never proud." Chi-chi pointed out.
"Yes, but maybe his whole personality has gone backwards. Before, he was care free and dumb. Now, she's aggressive, proud and probably pretty smart."
"Vegeta! Shut the hell up!!" yelled Yolee. "Since when are you mister expert on me?! I'm capable of knowing my own feelings, and right now, I'm pissed!!" Boxers exploded full of laughter. Yolee gave him an evil glare that could probably stop Frieza in his tracks. Boxers quickly covered his mouth.
"I suppose that's why Trunks and Bra are acting really giddy." Bulma sighed. "They were laughing at almost everything. And when the computer crashed yesterday, Trunks didn't know how to fix it."
"HELLO?!" screamed Golenn. "What about the cure? I can't stay like this! I had plans! Today's kaasan's birthday." Suddenly, she remembered that she had forgot the mirror at Gohan's house. But she couldn't excuse herself yet. Crap! Her thoughts screamed. Chi-chi was getting a little nervous. Her husband turned girl and son turned daughter were scaring her. Their attitude was like nothing she had ever seen before. This can't be the same Goku and Goten. They would never lose their temper. Chi-chi looked over at Pat. Even he was looking pretty angry.
"I don't know how much of this I can take." Bulma said aloud. "I thought we would've had this wrapped up by now." Marron, who had been very quiet throughout most of the ordeal, was becoming suspicious. She could've sworn she had seen…something just before Golenn had dropped the cure. But she couldn't be sure.
"What's gonna happen to us?" asked Pat.
"I guess we're just going to have to give you guys a life until the dragonballs are restored." Gohan responded reluctantly. Boxers began moaning.
"I don't wanna be a boy!!" he complained.
"We'll go by plan B." Bulma announced. "Pat, Golenn and Boxers will be enrolled into school while Pan, Goten and Bra will be supposedly transferred to another school."
"Huh?" Bikini said, confused.
"It's simple." Bulma tried to explain. "We'll just say that Pan, Goten and Bra are being transferred."
"But where are we gonna get the transcripts for Pat and the others?" asked Videl.
"Simple, I'll forge them." Bulma replied.
"I can't believe I'm going through with this." Pat muttered.
The following Monday later…
"I'd like to enroll my kids, Pat and Golenn into this school." Yolee said politely. The secretary, who was busy playing with her gum, didn't hear her. Yolee waited a few seconds. The secretary looked up from her gum and said, "May I help you?"
"I said I want to enroll my kids into your school." Yolee said again, not too politely. The secretary opened a big folder and a pen.
"What are their names? First and last names please."
"Son Pat and Son Golenn." Yolee said. The secretary looked surprised.
"You wouldn't happen to be related to Son Goku, would you?" Yolee panicked.
"Uh…no." she said.
"Oh. You know, no matter what the news says, I think the Earth's champion should've been Son Goku. He's a true hero." Golenn snickered in the background. "Anyways, just fill out these forms, and your kids are all set." Yolee nodded.
"Hi Mrs. Briefs." Called Jenn, the Capsule Corp. secretary. "I see you brought a guest today?"
"This is my niece, Bikini." Bulma said. "She'll be my assistant for a while."
"Nice to see you." Bikini said shyly. She felt awkward talking to her secretary as if she didn't know her.
"Hi! My name is Jenn." Jenn said in a very perky voice. "If you have any problems or need any extra assistance, just call me!" Bikini nodded and followed Bulma into the president's office, a room she knew very well. She even knew the best window to escape from, but Bulma was going to be watching her every move now. She groaned at her lack of freedom.
Boxers said in his seat, about ready to fall asleep. Bulma's plan had worked and Boxers was now sitting in class, listening to his math teacher drone on and on about algebra. He felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw one of his old friends, Rachael.
"Hi." She whispered. "You're the new kid, right?" Boxers nodded. "I'm Rachael. If you want, I can show you around." Boxers was about to say no when Rachael raised her hand. "Mr. Tomkins! May I show Boxers around the school please?"
"Well, okay." Mr. Tompkins replied. Rachael nodded, grabbed Boxers' hand and pulled him out of the classroom.
"So, where are you from?" Rachael asked.
"Um…" Boxers struggled to come up with a good city. "Ginger Town."
"Really? Cool." Rachael smiled. Boxers already knew that smile. When he was Bra, he recognized that smile as the 'I want you' smile. He quickly thought of a plan to tell her off without hurting her feelings.
"I have a girlfriend there." He added quickly. "She's really…something." Rachael pouted.
"Oh." She said blankly.
"Class, we have a new student in our class. Say hello to Pat." No one said anything. "Pat, why don't you say something about yourself." Ms. Turman said.
"Um…" Pat began. "I moved here from Ginger Town. My third cousin is the daughter of Mr. Satan."
"You mean Son Pan?" called out some student.
"Yeah." Pat lied. "Can I take my seat now?"
"No." Ms. Turman growled. "We're not done exploiting you." Pat rolled his eyes. Ms. Turman did this to every new student.
Down the hall, Golenn was being introduced.
"Meet Golenn. She transferred here from Ginger Town." Mr. Topolis said. "Let give her a warm welcome." Some students clapped while most of the boys whistled. Golenn blushed fiercely. Damn! She thought. She quickly scanned the room for the guys who were whistling and made a mental note to kick their asses after she returned to normal. When she took her seat, some pervert grabbed her ass, but she slapped him across the room. He hit the wall and all the other teens gave Golenn an awkward look.
"Oops." She said. Her tone suggested that she didn't really care.
Over at Capsule Corp…
Bikini giggled like crazy as she whirled around in her swivel chair. Bulma groaned and stopped the chair from spinning with her foot, causing Bikini to fly out of the chair and into the nearest pile of paper.
"Hey, why'd you do that for?" she complained.
"Why were you spinning in you chair?" Bulma asked. Bikini said nothing. "Exactly." She scooped up a pile of forms and papers and dumped them on Bikini. "You have work to do."
"But mom!!" Bikini wailed.
"Don't say that. I already told Jenn that you're my niece."
"But auntie!!" Bikini wailed. Bulma groaned.
Over at the Son residence…
"Kakorrot! Come out!" Vegeta yelled. "Or should I say Kakorrota. That's got a better ring to it."
"Shut up!" yelled Yolee from inside the house. "Go away!"
"What's this?" Vegeta asked, pretending to sound surprised. "I can't believe it. Kakorrota, are you actually declining a battle?"
"Yes, now go away."
"Not until you tell me why."
"Because I don't need you to bleed."
"What?"
"You heard me. Come back another time."
"Whatever it is, it can't be that bad that you don't want to fight."
"Stop asking me. Just go away!" Vegeta was getting very angry and frustrated.
"If you won't tell me what it is, then I'm coming inside." Before Yolee could answer, Vegeta busted into the house and saw Yolee attempting to shave her legs. Vegeta damn nearly screamed like a girl and ran back outside.
"I've just had the most traumatizing experience of my whole life!!!" Vegeta yelled. Inside, Yolee was laughing.
"I warned you, didn't I?" Yolee called out. "But did you listen? No! Hahahaha!!"
"Laugh it up, you cynical bitch!" Vegeta cursed.
Bikini arrived at Orange High to pick up Boxers. She was sent there because Bulma couldn't take anymore of her stupidity. Bikini was just happy to be out of there. She waited beside her convertible for a few seconds.
"Bra?" yelled a girl. "Bra is that you?" She ran up to Bikini. "My god! You've changed. I heard you were transferring. You dyed your hair purple? Wow!"
"Hold on!" Bikini yelled. "I'm really sorry, but I'm not Bra. That's my sis- I mean my cousin you're referring to. I'm Bikini."
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm Rachael." Rachael extended her hand and shook Bikini's hand. "I'm just very impulsive, that's all. Since you're related to Bra, could you tell me when she's coming back, if she's coming back?"
"Um…" Bikini had no idea when they'd get back to normal. She was even beginning to forget how long a year was. "I don't know." Rachael pouted. Bikini saw Boxers over at the front door and quickly called out to him.
"Boxers!" she yelled. Boxers heard and ran over to her.
"Oh hello again!" Rachael said to Boxers. Boxers jumped at the sound of her voice.
"Uh-AH-um…HI!" He stuttered. "Nice weather?"
"So this is your sister?"
"Yeah." Bikini and Boxers said at the same time, but Boxers quickly covered Bikini's mouth. They both hopped in the car and waved to Rachael as they left.
"Wow, they're strange in a cool way." Rachael commented.
Later that night at Capsule Corp…
"Wow, I can't believe I actually survived a whole day like this." Bikini said relieved. "Now there's only 155 days till I can return to normal."
"I hear that!" Golenn agreed. "But a year is a lot longer than that." Bikini groaned. "You know what would be a great idea? Let's go bar hopping Saturday! Just like we used to before."
"That's great! You, Boxers, Pat and me. It'll be fun." Bikini agreed.
"And me?" asked Yolee. Golenn rolled her eye.
"Fine," she agreed. "You too." Yolee smiled.
"And if we get kicked out of a bar, we'll just turn Super Saiya-jin and walk right back in, that way, they won't recognize us." she added. Bikini brightened.
"I totally forgot!" she cheered. "Lemmie try!" She stood for a few seconds and aura flared up as her hair turned blond and wavy while her eyes turned emerald. "Alright!!!" she cheered. "I'm the first female super saiya-jin by default!"
"Cool!" Golenn complimented. She concentrated and she too turned super saiya-jin. He hair was a little more spiked, but still nice.
"You know what's cool about me?" Yolee asked. "I don't need to pay money for hair extensions. I could just go super saiya-jin 3."
"Yeah," Pat said. "But then your eyebrows would disappear and you wouldn't look all attractive. Maybe you could pencil in your eyebrows."
"Eww! That's not very pretty!" Boxers whined. Everyone started giggling.
Stay tuned for another episode of Mirror of Magic! In the next chapter, the gang hit the clubs and you'd be surprised by what happens to Bikini.
