Mirror of Magic 6
Yolee downed her 12th drink of the evening. She wasn't getting very drunk, but she considered it to be a good start. She watched as Pat, Bikini and Golenn danced on the dance floor. She shook her head in disgust.
"I can't believe they're having fun!" she muttered to herself. "I can't stand being a woman." She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to meet the eyes of a tall man with blue eyes.
"Hi, my name's Brodie," he said sweetly. "I saw you sitting alone and I was wondering if you'd like to dance." Yolee gave him a hostile look.
'This must be the type of guy Bra would go crazy for,' she thought. She didn't want to be rude by simply telling him off, but she didn't have any other way. She was about to say 'no' when a thought occurred to her. She would simply tell him she had a date.
"Sorry, I've got a boyfriend," she lied. "He's...in the bathroom right now." Brodie gave a determined look.
"Why isn't he here with you?" he asked. "A woman of your beauty show never be alone." Yolee mentally stuck her tongue out. She knew he was going to be persistent and simply telling him her 'boyfriend' was in the bathroom wasn't going to make him go away. She scanned the room. She was considering pretending to be Boxer's girlfriend, but quickly changed her mind and never brought it up again. Then she remembered Yamcha, Tien, Chotsu, and Krillin were there.
"See that guy over there," she said as she pointed to Yamcha. "Yeah, he's my boyfriend. He's really tough and...stuff."
"Really?" Brodie looked over at Yamcha. "I don't know...he doesn't seem all that strong."
"Oh trust me. He's strong."
"Well I was once champion of kick boxing on my team in 12th grade. I bet I could take him on."
"Why would you do a silly thing like that?"
"Why would he leave you all by yourself?" Yolee panicked and stood up.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I walked away from him for a few seconds and you showed up. But now I'm ready to go back." She quickly rushed over to Yamcha's table. "Yamcha, I need your help."
"Yolee?" Yamcha said surprised. "What are you doing here? Chi-chi's gonna kill you if she finds out."
"Well she's not gonna if you guys keep your big mouths shut. Especially yours, Krillin."
"Why mine?" Krillin asked innocently.
"Anyway," Yolee continued. "I've got big trouble. Some guy named Brodie is hitting on me and--"
"A guy's hitting on you?!" Yamcha laughed.
"Shut up! I told him you're my boyfriend so he'd leave me alone--"
"You did what?!"
"Gomen, but I thought if I told him that, he'd leave me alone, but he didn't and now he wants a match with you."
"Goku, I can't believe you did that!"
"Exne on the Gokuee. Either way, we have a situation on our hands."
"'We?' 'Our?' No way! I'm not going through with this!"
"All you have to do is knock the guy out. I'd do it myself, but people would think it's weird that a woman of my size has all that strength to deck a kick boxing champion." Yolee gave him a pleading look.
"All right already! I'll do it!" Just as Yamcha said it, Brodie walked over.
"Hey, you're this lovely lady's boyfriend, aren't you?" he asked. Yamcha rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, name's Yamcha. And I'd like to ask why are you trying to pick up my lady?"
"You two don't seem all that involved, so I thought it'd be nice if she had someone to dance with."
"You know, pal, she's having a great time and she doesn't need you courting her. Right babe?" Yolee nodded quickly. "You can go pick up some other girl now."
"You don't really seem like her boyfriend. You look more like her brother."
"Why are you questioning me? Just get the hell outta here!"
"Let's see you two kiss."
"Nani?!" Yamcha and Yolee yelled at the same time.
"Prove to me that you're really her boyfriend." Brodie smirked. Yolee shook her head.
'This is getting way out of hand,' she thought. Yamcha looked around for help. Krillin was having a laughing fit while Chotsu and Tien were quietly snickering. He hesitantly looked at Yolee. She was about to freak out. She didn't want to cause another bar fight by kicking the crap out of that guy Brodie, but this was too much. She sighed and reluctantly put her hand around Yamcha's neck.
"C'mon, Yamcha," she said. She leaned in and whispered, "Work with me here. I don't have much of a choice." Yamcha nodded and pretended Yolee was someone else. Yolee shut her eyes tightly and pressed her lips against Yamcha's. Krillin, Tien, and Chotsu's eyes widened.
"Fine, I'll leave you two happy couple alone," Brodie finally said. As soon as he was earshot away, Yolee ripped herself away from Yamcha and began coughing.
"EEEEEEWWW!!!!! AAACCKKK!!!" she screamed. "I can't believe I just did that! To my own friend even! I have to wash my mouth!" She ran off to the girls bathroom. Yamcha had turned pale.
"That was gross..." he muttered before downed a whole glass of beer.
The night finally wrapped up, fortunately for Yolee. Bikini and Golenn decided to sleep over at Gohan's house. A drunker than hell Yolee went to Capsule Corp. with Boxers and Pat. That night, Yolee had the weirdest dream...
"Look at yourself, Kakorrota." Yolee was sitting in the forest. Vegeta was standing near a waterfall. "You're pathetic. Sometimes I think you want to be a female."
"What are you talking about?" Yolee asked. "I hate this body."
"Do you?" Vegeta smirked. "Then stop looking at yourself in the mirror in the mornings."
"Like that would help. I still have these freaking breasts on my fricking chest."
"Break it."
"What, my breasts?"
"No, baka. The mirror. Break your reflection. Then you won't see yourself like this."
"What mirror?"
"Break your damn reflection! It's that simple. Without your reflection, you won't be female."
"Jeez, and I thought I was drunk."
"Bakayaro! The mirror holds your true form. It traps your real body. If you break the reflection you see, then you'll get your old reflection back."
"Have you been taking drugs recently?" Vegeta shook his head angrily. He pulled a bucket out of nowhere and filled it with water from the waterfalls.
"Wake up!" He tossed the bucket of cold water at Yolee.
Yolee woke up freezing.
"Damn Vegeta!" She rubbed her eyes and fell back asleep.
Over at Gohan's house the next morning, Bikini and Golenn woke up bright and early to call home. Golenn was given a half-hour long lecture about sneaking out, tardiness, and responsibility from Chi-chi. When Bikini called home, Vegeta hung up on her. She growled and called again. This time, Yolee answered.
"Hello?" she said groggily.
"Um..." Bikini quickly came up with one of her famous schemes. "Hi, this is a noble charity service." Golenn looked up from her cereal.
"Bikini, what are you doing?" Bikini motioned Golenn to shut up.
"We'd like to ask you a few questions if that's okay," she continued.
"Uh...I don't really live here," Yolee said, not recognizing Bikini's voice. "I was just staying the night. If you want, I could get the head of the household."
"No it's okay. I'll just ask you the questions." Golenn snickered in the background.
"Uh...okay...I guess."
"First question: Are you married?"
"No, I'm recently divorced."
"Do you have any children?"
"Yes, a daughter and son."
"Really?" Bikini quickly pulled away the phone as she snickered. She heard someone from the other line pick up. It was probably Bulma trying to make a phone call. "Next question: Have you recently been changed into the opposite gender?" Golenn exploded full of laughter.
"Excuse me?!" Yolee demanded. "What exactly do you mean?"
"I mean where you once a male, but changed into a female?"
"No!! How could you ask such a stupid question?" Bikini heard laughter from the other end. It sounded like Boxers and Pat. They must've been the ones on the other line.
"Kami doesn't care if you've been altered in any way, just so long as you are true to yourself," Bikini said, pretending to be preachy.
"Bikini?!" Yolee growled. "Is that you?"
"Ack! Uh...um...no! I told you, we're a noble catholic society."
"I thought you said a 'noble charity service.'"
"Uh...so I did. Well, be gone with Kami now! I'm drunk and living la vita loca!"
"Bikini!! I'm going to murder you! How dare you!" Everyone on or near the phone burst out laughing while Yolee screamed and cursed at them. Suddenly, the phone made a beep noise and Vegeta's angry voice was heard.
"What the HELL is going on here?!" he demanded. "Bikini, if it's you, I swear to the gods of planet Vegeta-sei that you will live to regret your life!!!"
"Eeep..." Bikini and Golenn ran as fast as they could go from the phone.
"What happened?" Pat asked on the other side.
"Kakorrota, get the hell away from the phone!" Vegeta yelled.
"Screw you, Vegeta!" Yolee yelled. "Bakayaro!"
"Baka onna!"
"Ass muncher!"
"Rug muncher!"
"Dick!"
"Bitch!"
"Well, it's time for me to hand up!" Pat said quickly and hung up the phone. Yolee hung up the phone as well and continued cursing at Vegeta.
Monday morning finally came around. Pat and Golenn reluctantly went to school while Boxers faked a sick attack. Bulma dragged Bikini to work and luckily for Yolee, she got to stay home instead getting dragged to the beauty salon by Chi-chi. Over at Krillin's house, Krillin was having difficult getting his own daughter to school.
"Daddy, could you train me after school?"
"What?" Krillin asked, surprised that his shoppoholic daughter was interested in fighting. "Why?"
"I wanna be strong like you and mommy! I wanna go train!" Marron whine.
"Absolutely not!" Krillin said firmly. "There's no war or danger. There's no need for fighters."
"Yeah, well what if we were suddenly attacked? Would you regret not training me then?"
"Well uh...I guess..."
"See? C'mon daddy! Please!"
"Marron, I said no. Look, this is no time to be arguing. You've got school, which started an hour ago! You're late!" Marron checked the time. It was 10:00 in the morning.
"Why are you being so mean?!" Marron ran up to her room leaving a panicking Krillin behind.
"Why can't I control her at times?" He shook his head. Up in Marron's room, Marron was fiercely packing things into her bag.
"I'll show him I can train." She packed clothes, food, a toothbrush, capsules, and other necessities. She quietly opened her window and flew off. She had no intention of going back anytime soon.
She arrived at a forest in no time, but she kept flying. She was feeling very depressed. Three hours later, when she felt she had no ki left to fly, she dropped down and began jogging. She had no idea where she was going or when she'd stop. After about an hour of running, she finally stopped. Breathing heavily, she slowly walked around the forest she was in. She spotted a small clearing where a house was. At first, she thought she was at the Son's residence, but the building wasn't familiar and she wasn't on a mountain. Sighing, she decided she'd check out the place and see if she could get a drink of water or something. Marron quietly tapped on the door. When she got no response, she opened the door and walked in. Surprisingly enough, there was an old man standing behind a counter. Marron realized she was in a shop.
"May I 'elp you?" the man said in a strong accent. Marron couldn't quiet define what accent he was using.
"I'm sorry to bother you but could I possibly get a drink of water?" Marron asked. "I've been running for quiet some time and really thirsty." The man grinned.
"Sure, 'ow's lemonade?" he asked.
"Um...okay. I never caught you name. I'm Marron Chestnut."
"The name's Yarikata." The man disappeared behind a curtain and returned with a glass of lemonade. "So, if you don't mind my asking, why 'ave you been running?" Marron looked around.
"Well, my dad was being mean. He wouldn't let me train with him and mom. So I ran away. I'll probably go back in a few days. Hey, this is a nice shop you got here. What does it specialize in?"
"Tricks and pranks. I'm playing one on you right now."
"Nani?" Yarikata stopped grinning and put his hands over his face. When he pulled away, he was a lot younger, probably Marron's age.
"Gotcha!" he said. "I don't really have an accent. And I'm not old. I just do that to make customers take me seriously and to scare them." Yarikata began giggling. "Were you convinced?"
"Yeah, you had me fooled." Marron smiled. Now that Yarikata was younger, he had dark blue hair that was tied back and violet eyes. Marron blushed a little. He's kinda cute.
"You should've seen my latest victim. He came in here looking for a full-length mirror and I sold him a hand mirror instead. Everything in this shop has some sort of curse or trick to it."
"Really?" Marron was interested now.
"Yep," Yarikata said with a grin. "I never caught his name."
"What did the mirror do?"
"Changes around people's genders. That's only if you look into it." Marron became confused.
"What did the man look like?"
"Well, he had the wildest hair I have ever seen and he wore this fighting gi that was orange and blue." Marron let out a gasp as the glass fell from her hands and shattered on the ground.
"Goku-san!" she yelled.
"You know him?"
"Yes! You've been ruining his life."
"I'm not ruining anyone's lives. I'm just having fun."
"You're the boy I saw knock Goten's arm when he had the potion."
"Well, what can I say? I didn't want the fun to end there." Marron slapped him across the face.
"You should be ashamed of yourself!" she yelled. "You're gonna tell me right now how to reverse the spell."
"All right, all right. Yeesh, some fun you are."
"By the way, when we made a wish for them to become their proper gender again, why didn't it work?"
"Because, I made a wish with that same dragon for these powers to create mischief, and I asked him never to reverse my magic." Marron blinked a couple times. "So, how many people did I get?" Yarikata had a huge grin on his face. Marron couldn't help giggling at his enthusiasm.
"Five. My friends Pan, Bra, Trunks, Goten, and Goten's dad Goku."
"Wow, I never thought I'd get that many."
"I can't believe you actually make a profession outta tricking people."
"I've never been caught." Marron smirked a little. "So anyway, all you gotta do is break the mirror I sold him. Then they'll turn back to normal. Oh, there's one catch. In exactly 2 hours, they'll be permanently stuck as the opposite gender."
"Nani?!" Marron's eyes widened. "Why?"
"Well, after 20 days, they're stuck. And in 2 hours, it will be exactly 20 days. Gomen."
"Oh no! Have you got a phone?"
"Yeah, in the back." Marron was about to go back, but she had no idea who'd she would call. She began going through a list of people in her head. Goku, Satan-san, Gohan, dad, Pan, Trunks, mom, Bulma, Goten, dad, Goku, Chi-chi, Bulma, Vegeta, Gohan, Videl, Pan, Bra, mom...Goku, Satan-san, dad, Bulma, Gohan, Bra, Trunks, Goten, Vegeta...Pan, Goku, Gohan...Goku...GOKU!
"Goku!" She raced to the phone and speed-dialed his number. It rang for what seemed like forever until finally she heard Yolee's voice.
"Mushi, mushi," she said.
"Goku!" Marron yelled frantically.
"Marron? Is that you?"
"Yah, we've got trouble."
"What's wrong?"
"I know how to change you back, but we've only got 2 hours to do it!"
"What?"
"Your gender! I know how to change it! It's the mirror!"
"Oh no, not that mirror crap again."
"Nani?"
"I had a dream that Vegeta kept telling me to break my reflection over and over again."
"That's what you're supposed to do, stupid! The mirror you bought for Chi-chi-san. That had a curse on it and anyone who looks at it will be cursed. The only way to break the curse it to break the mirror!"
"Oh jeez! You're serious!"
"HAI!! And you only have 2 hours before it becomes permanent! Where's the mirror?"
"Oh shit! I don't know!"
"Find it!"
"It could be anywhere! Goten had it last!"
"Then find Goten and make him find it!" Yarikata had been listening and decided to speak up.
"Uh...Marron?"
"What?"
"I've got a device that keeps track of all my products. We could use that to find the mirror."
"Great! Let's go." Marron turned back to the phone. "Call me back later at the same number!"
"Wait Marron! I-" Marron hung up.
"Alright, let's find that mirror!"
