And So It Began

Ch. 7 Shopping Day

          Kataru sat on top of Capsule Corp, thinking about the day's events.

Whew, that's a lot of stuff. I can't believe how corny about half of it is. I need to get my life to be a little bit more exciting. thought Kataru, watching the stars.

          Kataru saw one of the stars twinkling brighter than the others. Her smile faded.

"Kazuki, the star of freedom." whispered Kataru, reaching up her hand toward the star.

"I hope it's still like it was before. I miss you, Seth." said Kataru, withdrawing her hand, and letting out a soft sob.

She quickly got up, and went inside her room (right next to Trunks). She jumped on the bed, and let out a long sigh.

These people are so nice to me, but why? I mean, I did try to kill Vegita and Trunks, and that's not the best reason in the world. Kataru turned off the light, and laid there in bed, thinking. A little while later, she fell asleep.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again the alarm clock sounded, but this time it didn't seem to be so loud.

"Go away, Vegeta." said Kataru, motioning for him to leave the room. Like always, he didn't listen, but grabbed Kataru by the ears, and lifted her out of bed. She screamed in pain, and kicked Vegeta in the stomach.

"HOW DARE YOU!" he yelled, getting ready to punch her. Just then, Bulma walked into the room, and saw Vegeta.

"What are you doing?" she asked with a look that said *stop that right now or else something bad'll happen*

"She started it, woman, so don't you snap at me!" barked Vegeta, withdrawing his hand (fist).

"Well, why don't you start your butt downstairs, and do the laundry?" ordered Bulma.

Vegeta left, mumbling something about "women."

Kataru chuckled to herself, and went back to bed.

She awoke later on by the sound of birds in the background, and because the Sun was shining straight into her eyes. Kataru got up, put on one of the tank-tops she had brought and a pair of flare jeans, and walked downstairs. No one seemed to be there. She shrugged, went over to the fridge and opened the door.

"What do you think you're doing?" barked Vegeta.

Kataru stared at Vegeta, "Getting something to eat, what do you think." And so she took out 10 raw eggs.

"Yuck! You're going to eat THAT?" asked Vegeta in disgust.

"Oh, shut up, you're acting like a little kid." Said Kataru, breaking the eggs into a bowl, and adding a little bit of salt.

"I AM NOT!" yelled Vegeta.

"Oh, will you go away, and let me eat in peace?" asked Kataru, motioning toward the door.

"No." replied Vegeta, crossing his arms.

Kataru rolled her eyes, and added a little milk to the eggs, then began to stir.

"If you're going to stay here, you might as well help." She said, annoyed.

"Fine, what do you want?" asked Vegeta.

"Go throw away these egshells." Said Kataru throwing the shells to Vegeta. He caught them, and threw them away.

Then, Kataru put the mixture in the pan, and in 5 minutes the omelet was finished.

"Want some?" she asked, putting half the omelet on a plate.

"Fine, but I know it'll taste horrible." mumbled Vegeta, reaching out and grabbing the plate.

Kataru put the rest on the omlete on another plate, and started to eat.

"So, why aren't you training?" she asked Vegeta, who had already finished his omlete.

"That does not concern you." he said, putting his plate in the sink to be washed (by Bluma). Kataru put hers away, too, and went outside.

It was one of those really hot days, but it didn't bother Kataru, seeing at how she actually lived on the Sun. Suddenly, she heard a noise behind her, and turned around with an energy beam in her hand.

"Oh, Trunks, I thought you were someone else." she said, seeing the purple haired boy.

"Who?" he asked, walking toward her.

"No...no one." mumbled Kataru.

Trunks stared to hovering off the ground.

"Wanna go shopping?' he asked, holding up a credit card. Kataru's face showed confusion.

"What's shopping?" she asked, hovering in the air near Trunks.

He looked shocked that a girl didn't know about shopping, but answered, "It's when you buy stuff."

"Hmm.....coolies! OK, sure." said Kataru excitedly, and following Trunks, who had zoomed off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two arrived soon at a huge mall.

"So, what do I buy?" she asked, looking in amazement at all the shops.

"Whatever you want. Here, you can use this." said Trunks, giving Kataru one of his credit cards.

"So.....I can use this to get anything?" she asked, looking at the small card.

"Sure...are you sure you can do this by yourself?" asked Trunks, but the girl was already gone.

____________________________________________________

Kataru stared at all the clothes. There were hundreds, even thousands. She saw a blue gown, and went over to look at it. It was long, with lace all over the bottom of it. Kataru smiled, and put it in her shopping cart. She was getting used to this. Then, she saw a blue two-top, and shorts. They both went into the shopping cart. Getting tired of shopping for clothes, Kataru went over to the electronics shop. She saw many computers, and went over to one of the people that worked there.

"Excuse me, but what are these." she asked him, pointing to the computers.

The man looked at her like she was from another planet, "They're…computers." he said.

"Ok, thank you." said Kataru, walking over to the nearest one, and reading the label.

Hmm...I read something about computers. I should get a laptop...or...no…I'll get a desktop. Let's see, it needs to have as  much memory as possible. And...it has to be a dell, and it has to have two CD-rom holder thingies, with a *help* booklet, and…Oh who cares, I'll just buy one. thought Kataru, taking one of the boxes of computers, and buying it. Then, she saw a TV, N64, and all of the other games. Yep, they all were bought. After a while, Kataru began to feel hungry, so she located Trunks's Ki, and walked toward it. When he saw her, he practically fell over. You could barely see Kataru. She was balancing shopping bags on her head, elbows, and she was holding about 50 bags in each hand.

"Let me help you carry those." said Trunks, grabbing half of the bags. Kataru smiled a thankful smile, and the two went outside.

"Do you know how to teleport?" asked Kataru, hovering in the air.

"No, do you?" asked Trunks, following her.

"Uh-huh. Just place your hand on my shoulder." said Kataru, flying closer to Trunks so that he could reach her. Trunks did as he was told, and the two were transported to Capsule Corp.

Kataru and Trunks appeared right over Vegita, and as luck would have it, all of their bags fell out of their hands. Vegeta was covered by clothes and electronics. When Vegita finally found a way out of the *mess* , he gave Kataru and Trunks a dirty look.

"What do you two think you are doing?" he asked flying out of the pile of shopping bags.

"We went shopping, dad. We have chocolate." said Trunks, picking out a shopping bag which had "Chocolate Galore" on the front. Vegeta forgot about being mad, and started to drool.

"Give...me...chocolate." he said reaching out an arm toward the chocolate.

"Only if you don't get mad at us." said Trunks, giving Vegita the chocolate. He grabbed the bag, and ran off. Kataru sweatdropped.

"Is he that easy to control?" she asked watching Vegita disappear into one of the nearby rooms.

"I don't even want to think about what his reaction would be to chocolate cake." said Trunks, embarrassed. Kataru chuckled, and flew to the kitchen.
