PART THREE THE DEPARTURE
Kat
Toma came home that night with a look on his face that could have frozen someone in place had he looked at them long enough.
" Toma?" I said. I rarely used his name but right now it seemed like he needed to hear it. Plus I was genuinly worried. I don't know why but I was. " What's wrong?" He sat at the table and stared straight ahead.
"Nothing is wrong onna." He said through clenched teeth." Now bring me my food." I stared at him long and hard for a moment then I turned and started for the kitchen.
" Kat." He said behind me." Would you make me a sandwich?" I was shocked that was the first civil question he had ever asked me. I nodded and headed into the kitchen to see about dinner.
When I had finished I went back to the dining area and set the plate in front of him then I sat down oposit of him.
" Are you going to tell me what's wrong now?" I asked him inquiringly. He just grunted and continued to eat. I watched him for a moment and then realied what he was doing.
" You jerk." I creid rising to my feet." You are perpuosly eating slow so that you won't have to tell me. Well fine you don't have to tell me anything. Jut keep your stupid little secrets." I left the room and went to lay on my bed. I was so mad at him for not telling me what was wrong that I just sat there and fumed for about ten minutes but after a while the hot sayain day made me groggy and all that I wanted to do was take a nap. I sat up and quickly ribbed my eyes. 'No kat.' I thought to myself.' Don't fall asleep.' But I just laid back on the bed and was soon snoring softly.
Toma
I stood n the door way of the seervants quarters and watched Kat sleep for about ten minutes then I sighed and slowly walked away. I was going to miss her little outburst's. I went to my room to pack. I pulled out from under the bed a bag and none to gently started to throw things in it. Clothes and socks and other sayain things that I would need. I picked up a pair of pants and was about to shove them in the bag when I felt something in the pocket. I reached into them and pulled out the necklace that I had confiscated from Kat before we had arrived on Vegeat-sie. I fingured the intricate work and wondered what master crafts man had made. Little did I know that it was made by clairs and that there were stock piles of it in warehouses all over the u.s. I turned it over and on the back saw Kat's initials scratched in shaky letters. ' Maybe I should return this to her before I leave. Or maybe I should wear it for good luck.' I couldn't decide what top do with it so I shoved it in my pocket and started to pack some more things.
It didn't take me long before I was finished and had nothing to do. I stepped into the kitchen and loked at the counters and the stove. I would also miss the good food. I was went intoi the living room and sat down to think. I thought about the last few months remembering things. The capture of chykuu, having my buttons ripped off by Kat, having to declare war on a chykuu because she had pinched my butt, cofessing my undying love for food in front of Kat. I suddenly realised that Kat was in most of my good memories. 'Damn her.' I thought.' She is taking over my personal life to.' I snuggled deeper into the chair and began to relax. My eyes became heavy and slowly I realised that I was going to fall asleep.' Oh well. I could use a good nap anyways.' I crossed my arms over my chest and closed my eyes all the way then I drifted off to sleep.
Kat
I woke up and saw that the sun was sinking below the horisen. I slowly stretched thenI stood and went to find something to eat. i had to walk through the living room on the way out and saw Toma sleeping in a chair in what looked like a very uncomfortable position. i walked up to him and leaned over him quietly so as not to wake him up.
" Damn you you stupid baka." I said under my breath." why won't you tell me what's wrong?" I straightened and went into the kitchen not knowing that toma had awakened and had heard everything that I had said. Thank GOD that it wasn't alot. I sat down at the table and started eating the left overs from the night before. Food is always better the seconde day anyway. I crammed my mouth full and hadn't yet swallowed so I nearly choke when Toma said something behind me.
" What are you eating?" He asked. I jumped fifty feet in the air and sucked some of the wierd ricy stuff down my windpipe.
" What 'cough cough' is'cough cough ' your 'cough cough' problem' cough cough.'" I said trying to either cough the rice out or suck it all the way in. Neither was working. I stared at him as he watched me choke.' Geeze what a moron.' I thought.
" What are you eating?" He repeated. I stared at him in disgust then I pointed the counter. He looked over and saw the pot from the night before. He turned to me in disgust this time.
" You are eating yesterdays food?" He asked. I nodded my head in affirmation.
" Yeah." I told him souding like a stuck up pool girl.
"That is disgusting." He said walking over and sittin g next to me. He sat there for a moment then he suddenly grabbed my bowl from and crammed the rest of the hot food down his thraot
"What's your problem?" I asked in anger trying to get my food back. He just growled and turned his back on me.
Toma
I would be leaving in about two days time for the stupidest outpost in the entire war. I would be lucky if I heard the war over the radios we had in our ships. Stupid war, stupid posts, stupid king. He would be going too. Only he would be on the front lines. I was furious with him for that. The stupid king was going to go and fight in the front lines because he thought that he wa invincable. Stupid Baka. He would be leaving Prince Begeta home to rule while the king was away. What a mistake. I would trust the throne to anyone even Veggie before I trusted it with some haughty baka prince. They were all losers. I thought of all the things that I neede to have the servants do berfore I left. The main servants that I had had for the last couple of years would need to be given instructions on how the house should be kept. I ticked off a list of hously duties that they would be performing over the next few days. The I thought about Kat and all the trouble that she would get into when I left. 'Hmmm.' I thought.' What am I going to do with you Kat?' I couldn't think about that at that moment. I neede to do things. I went into the main living room and looked at an evelope on the table. It was adressed to me from prince Veggie. I picked it up cautiously. The brat had a tendancy to plant letter bombs. Suddenly a thought so brillient it astounded me entered my head. I smirked evily. Let prince Veggie have her for the duration of time that I was gone. That would teach her to be a little more respectfull. Any time that she got out of line I would threaten to take her back to the palace and let Veggie have at her again. It was brillient.
" HAHA!!!" I cried and ripped the letter open.
BOOM.
Kat
After Toma had eaten my LEFTOVERS! I went outside and started to play in the dirt. I played like I was in the army and rolled around. I was completely covered with red dirt and weeds but it was great. Suddenly i sat up and looked at my dirty self.
" How old am I?" I asked myself but before I could answer myself a huge explosion ripped through the air and I was thrown back into the dirt. I lay there panting for a minute before finally deciding to go see if Toma needed my help picking throught the ruble. I stepped over the door and entered the house. Then I stopped and looked at the huge horrifying creature before me. I started to laugh. toma stood in the middle of the floor covered in some strange black substance. His already spiky hair was spikier and it looked as if he had stuck his finger in a socket. It was pushed back so straight up front that if he was laying down you could build a puzzle on it. His eyes were wide and he was holding what I thought to be a tissue in his right hand. I leaned against the door frame and grabbed my stomache. I was laughing so hard it hurt.
" OH.....MY GOSH....." I laughed pointing at him." YOU....LOOK....SO RIDICULOUS." He just stood there in shock for a moment then he looked at me and said.
" I'm going to go change." And with that he turned and walked into his room. I laughed even harder and fell to the ground.
When I had calmed down enough to stand I went and stood in front of his door. I stood there snickering for aminute before I changed my voice to sound normal.
" Hey Toma?" I called into his room knocking lightly on his door." Do you want me to check your room for strange and unusual objects? Or gnomes maybe." I started to laugh again. Suddenly, in mid laugh, the door flew open and a hand was clutching my throat.
" Get your things ready." He hissed in my ear." We're leaving in an hour." And then he slammed the door. Which after the explosion *snicker snicker* wasn't the best thing for the door and it fell open reveiling Toma in his pretty pink undies. I ran to my room laughing hoping that he wouldn't chase me.
Toma
I let her get away mostly because I didn't care that she had seen me in my underpants and partly becasue I didn't think that it would be worth it. I knew that everytime she saw me within the next few days she would laugh and would be no fun at all. I sighed and sat down on my bed. What the hell waws I going to do with her? Maybe if I were lucky I would die honorably on the battle field and I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore. I graoned and flopped back on my bed. Then I stood up and started to dress. Kat wouldn't get away from making a fool of me much longer.
She snickered the whole way to the palace and even burst into laughter a couple of times. I growled and considered dropping her again. Apparently she could read minds in her insanity because she looked at me and started to laugh again.
" Are you going to drop me?" She asked talking to me as if I were a little child." Are you? Are you?" She was seriously going to pay for all of it. She burst into laughter again and resituated herself in my arms.
" Do you like to carry me?" She asked finally after a little bit of silence.
" Where the hell did that come from?" I asked yelling. She clutched her ears.
" Geeze you don't have to yell I'm right here you know." She said quietly then she crossed her arms and pouted.
" I do not like to carry you it is just necesary." I told her. She laughed and perked up. 'Damn it why can't I keep my mouth shut.' I thought to myself in regret.
" Would you teach me how to fly, then?" She asked expectantly." Will you? Huh? Will you?" I growled and told her to shut up. She looked at me in mock hurt and then she snickered and turned around.
" I should drop you again and not catch you this time." I told her. She just laughed harder.
Kat
We reached the palace and Toma imediatly left me standing alone on a platform. Huge sayian strangers in armor brushed past me and shoved me around. One sayain pushed me to the ground and apparently found it hystericly funny and decided to make a game out of keeping me on the floor.
" You jerk let me up." I yelled at the big lug who had his foot on my back. Several sayain s were now making sport of me and I didn't like it. They just laughed at my pititfull predicament.
" Your all @#$%^&* 's." I yelled they hooted louder. I frowned and put my head on the floor to wait it out but suddenly I heard a grunt and the weight of the sayains foot was off my back. I sat up and looked around me. All the sayains were looking at the floor and shuffling they're feet. The one who had been standing on me lay on the floor with Veggie standing on his chest a look of triumph on his cute little face.
" Hey Veggie." I said waving akwardly. He looked at me and smiled.
" KITTTTTYYYYYYYYY!!" He screamed and flew at me. I had the breath knocked out of me when he hit me. And then yet again I was on the floor.
" Can you play? Huh? Can ya can ya can ya?" He asked I had to caoncentrate really hard to be able to understand his fast little speach.
" I guess." I told him skepticaly." I don't know what Toma wants me to do so I guess it's all right." I stood up and grabbed my bag. Veggie led me out the door and down a couple halls then he opened a door and led me into the most amazing playroom I had ever seen. It was filled with what I guessed were acient weapons and ther biggest chemistry set I had ever seen. There were many other things but nothing so interesting as the first two. I stared in wonder ment at my suroundings.
" Wow Veggie." I said to him." I'm jealuos." He looked at me in confusement before he turned to his chemistry set.
" This is my pride and joy." He said in his cute little kid voice. " and then there's arsley." He said walking over to a huge basket in a corner of his room. He lifted the lid and pulled out a weird looking snake-lizard thingy.
" He's my best friend." Veggie said stroking the thing.
" Cool." I said. Veggie looked at me as if what I had said was totally against the law. I explained." Cool is a earth term for amazing. Um... wow." He nodded in understanding.
" Cool." He said trying the new word out. I smiled at his cuteness.
" Tell me more about earth." He said putting arsley away and walking over to his chemistry set.
" Well. What do you want to know?" I asked.
" I don't know." He said shortly. I stared at his back.
" Well. The best place in the whole world is a place called Taco Jonhs. It serves really good food there. and then theres a few other places let me think. And I love to swim. Earth ahs the most beautiful lakes and oceans but before you guys came they were being polluted and that was not cool." I told him. I'm a tree hugger." An there's this thing called a bike. It has two wheels and it you have to pedal it really hard to keep moving or you'll fall over. Sometimes I would take my bike out late at night and go riding around the neighborhoods when it was dark. It always smelled really good at night on my planet. But my favorite thing to do was read stories about made up characters and watch things called cartoons. It was really cool because I would imagine my self as a character in the stories. I miss cartoons" I told him. He was busy creating another weapon of mass destruction and I thought that he wasn't paying attention to me. But he was and he turned then stopped and stared at me for a minute.
" Did you have a brother like Bejita?" He asked."
"No definatly not as hot.... no wait I mean." I stuttered. Thank GOD Veggie didn't know what that meant.
" Cool." He said taking in my word. I felt a swell of pride for the little kid. Maybe I wouldn't be so bored here after all.
" I also had a sister and a little brother." I told him. He looked at me in astonishment.
" You had a big family." He said. I nodded then I walked over to where he was and looked at his creation.
" Whatcha makin?" I asked. He turned back to his station and started to put some stuff on his gun I gues you would call it.
" I'm making a lazer gun." He said I smiled.
" Can I help?" I asked.
" Yeah." He cried in delight. I fell beside him and listened to his every cammand.
Bejita
I walked into Veggie's room to see what he was up to and saw the slave girl sitting with him telling him about her planet while helping him build a gun or something. I stared at them for amoment until I heard Veggie laugh at something she said. I felt betrayed by my little brother. He was the best little brother a sayain could have and now this girl was taking him away from me. I stopped my self from thinking any more not wanting to jump to conclusions. But it still hurt to watch her with him. I cleared my throat to get his attention. They both turned and I saw Veggie's face light up.
" BEJITA!!!" He screamed rushing at me. I grabbed him just in time and narrowly missed being sent to the floor. I held him in my arms and stared at the girl.
" What are you doing?" I asked my little brother. He looked at me with his big black eyes and I felt my heart melt. I would do anything for this little brat.
" Kitty is telling me about her planet while we make a big gun." He told me I smiled at him.
" Well." I started." I guess then you won't want to come with me to lunch to day." I tried my best to look disapointed. Veggie squealed with delight.
" Yeah. And can I get a big bowl of Vegetaria?" He asked." I nodded.
" And can Kitty come too?" He asked. I looked at the girl and saw that she ahd her head down. When Veggie asked if she could come she looked at him and smiled softly.
" Veggie. You go wit you r brother." She told him." I'll just wonder around until you want to play again. okay?"
" Cool." Veggie said. I looked at him strangly then back at the girl. She was trying to hold in her laughter. I left the room and headed for the dinning hall.
I got us our food and then we went to claim the best seat in the house.
" So." I said sitting next to Veggie who was doing some thing to his napkin." What did the girl tell you?" Veggie looked from his food to me then back to his food. I guess he thought that I was going to starve him until he told me what I wanted to know. I smiled and shoved his food n front of him. He started to shovel it into his mouth.
" She...told me.... hmphavooddacrrieoum." I couldn't undestand half of what he was saying because he kept shoveling stuff in his mouth as he talked.
" Veggie." I said he stopped eating and looked at." Eat you r food then tell me okay?" He nodded and stuffed the rest of it in his mouth. When he had finished he started to talk about a mile a minute.
" There are cartoons and Taco Johns and Kitty has a sister and two brothers." He told me increduosly. I looked at him and smiled.
" That's alot of people." I told him. Veggie smiled and stuck his hand in mine.
" Let's go play in the gardens." He told me. I smiled and nodded.
Kat
I watched the two leave and felt a pang of loneliness. I really liked that little kid and i didn't want him to go but I knew that if I had accepted Veggie's invitation Bejita would have made sure that I had a horrible time. What a jerk. I went to walk through the gardens again.
I looked through little walkways hoping to discover a little private corner that I could sit and think. I found the perfect place. It was nestled in between two huge tree's that were surounded with bushes. I laid down under the branches and soon fell asleep.
I woke to the sound of giddy childs laughter and squeals. I sat up and looked around me. I was alone. I guessed that the sound was coming from the other side of the bush to my right. I stood and walked to the end of the bush. I peeked around and saw Bejita crouching behind a bush. I silently walked up behind him and just stood there for a moment.
" Hey Bejita." I said suddenly. He spun around quickly a ki blast ready. When he saw that it was me he snarled and settled back into his hiding place.
" Whatcha doin'?" I asked rolling back and forth on my heels. He grunted and peeked out from his hidding place.
" Go away onna. I'm busy." He said. I just stared at his back not moving. He turned and looked at me in disgust.
" Do you know who I am?" He asked. I shook my head even though I knew perfectly well.
" I am the mighty prince Bejita and you are just a stupid slave. If I want I can have you killed by any one I wanted. Now go away." I stared at him.
" I think you gave away you r hiding place." I told him. He turned and looked out behind the bush. Veggie was peeking around the bush staring at Bejita. His little bottom lip quivering.
" Your not gonna kill Kitty are you?" He sniffed. Bejita looked at Veggie than at me then back to Veggie.
" No Veggie I'm not going to kill Kitty." He said pinching the bridge of his nose. " she was just giving away my hiding spot that's all." He told the sniffling child. Veggie cried out happily and ran to his brother and gave him a big hug. Bejita looked uncomfortable showing so much emotion in front of me. I just smiled at this show of brotherly love.
" Can Kitty play too?" Veggie asked. Bejita nodded hesitently.
" okay then your it." He cried pointing at me then he ran off to hide. I looked t Bejita and smiled and shrugged. Bejita shook his head and then he ran off too.
I spent about half an hour trying to find the little buggars. It was Bejita I found first though and unfortunatly. As I looked for Veggie he continually glared at my back and gave me the worst looks I had ever seen. After a little while of not finding the boy I got worried.
" Bejita I can't find Veggie." I told him worriedly. " I looked everywhere and he's not here." Bejita looked as if he were going to kill me.
" If anything happened to him I'm going to kill you personally." He stood and went in search of Veggie. We looked for an hour searching every possible corner that we could. Pretty soon I was freaked out. As, apparently, was Bejita. We stopped for a minute to get our berrings straight when suddenly Bejita stiffened and looked at a bush to our left. We walked over to it and gently lifted the branches. There lying peacefull and asleep was Veggie. His mouth was slightly open and his arms were flailed out in different directions.
" Awwee." I cooed as Bejita bent ot pick him up. I looked into his cute little face and sighed. Bejita looked at me strangly for a minute then he turned and headed back to the palace.
That night I had no idea what was going on or why Toma hadn't come back for me. I was kinda annoyed. I had no where to sleep and no one offered me a place. I stood around watching everyone else head off to bed while I just stood there. Finally Veggie ran up and took my hand.
" Kitty guess WHAT?" He asked excitedly.
" I don't know Veggie what?" I asked back. Veggie's smile grew.
" YOU GET TO STAY WITH ME!!!" He cried. I stared at him in astonishment for moment before shaking my head .
" Are you serious Veggie?" I asked the little boy. He nodded his head vigerously and started to pull me towards his room. I allowed him to pull me a little way's before I stopped him.
" Veggie where's Toma?" I asked. Veggie looked at me for a moment then he replied.
" He's with my dad." And with that he lead me to his room.
Toma
I sat with the King all day listening to his idiotic plans for the war. I barely even escaped for lunch. But I had and was so relieved to be able to get out of that stuffy room. I went to the dinning hall and ordered my food then I went and stood in front of a window and stared at the gardens. I saw prince Bejita and Veggie playing a game. Then I saw Kat join them. I was astounded that Bejita had let her join. Bejita was a jerk but he loved his little brother and would do anything for him. I finished my food and went back to the meeting room to listen to some more of the king's rambling.
That night I went in search of Kat. I don't know why but I guess that I just wanted some one to talk to. Or bicker with is more like it. I looked around for about twenty minutes when I finally found her in Veggie's room sleeping peacefully on the floor at the foot of Veggie's huge bed. I watched her sleep for a moment then I quietly shut the door and went to my room. I lay on the bed for hours and thought of my life since I first saw Kat. She had sure made it interesting. And fun. I had never had some one to bicker with before when I had brought her here. In reality I really didn't mind her company and even looked forward to our spars every day. Before I knew it the sun had risen and it was time to go back to the King. I dressed slowly trying to stall before I had to go and sit through another day an old man droning on and on. I left and walked slowly through the halls. We would be leaving early tomorrow for the war. That didn't leave much time for anything. Especialy since I was stuck in the king s presence all day.
Kat
I woke up to Veggie jumping on the bed.
"KITTY!!!" He screamed jumping off the bed onto me. I grunted as he landed on my stomach. "Do you want to play now?" I stared at him out of tired eyes. Then I rolled over causing him to fall off of me. I pulled my blanket about my head. Veggie giggled and pulled at the blanket.
" Kittyyyy?" He said. "Are you awake?" He suddenly pulled the blanket away. I jumped at him and started to tickle him. He squealed and tried very hard to push my hands away. For a minute I thought that I heard something but I couldn't be sure over Veggies giggles. Suddenly a hand grabbed my shoulder and flung me back.
" What the hell were you doing?" Bejita said as he cradled a giggling Veggie in his arms.
" I was tickling him." I said rudly. Bejita looked at me strangly for a moment then he turned to Veggie.
" Was she hurting you?" He asked holding Veggie by the shoulders. Veggie snickered.
" No." He said simply. Bejita looked from Veggie to me. Then he stood and rather stiffly left the room. Veggie watched him shut the door. Then he looked at me evilly.
" I'm hungry!" He cried loudly. Bejita ran back into the room quickly.
" do you want me to take you to breakfast?" He asked his little brother. Veggie laughed.
" Okay." He said then he left leaving me alone in his room.
I stayed there most of the day as Bejita took Veggie around to a bunch of different places. I picked up his toys carefully and put them where I figured he could find them easily. I was bent over his chemistry set when he came in. I heard the door open so I turned expecting to see Veggie and Bejita but it wasn't either. It was Toma. I stared at him.
" Hello." He said calmly putting his hands behind his back.
" Hey" I said looking away from him. " What are you up to?" I asked as i folded some of Veggies clothes.
" Nothing." He said curtly. I turned and stared at him.
"Oookay." I said. He looked like the army general that stands in front of the flag." Well. Do you want to sit down?" I offered him a big fluffy chair. He moved to it and sat down.
" What have you been doing lately?" He asked stiffly.
" Oh not much." I told him leaning against a windowsill." You know since you r not around I had to find someone else to torture, so..." I trailed off enjoying the look on Toma's face. He sneered at me and I laughed.
Toma
I sat there and watched Kat clean and laugh. She was always ready for a good argument. That's what I liked about her. I didn't like her alot but ya know I like the way she could think up rude comments in seconds.
" Has Veggie been a horrid little brat?" I asked her hoping that she would cringe and tell me some horrible nightmarish stories. She just smiled and got little hearts in her eyes.
" He is sooooooo cute." She said dreamily. I looked at her in shock.
" He is only seven onna." I cried.
" Why Toma are you jealous that I talk more highly of a seven year old then of you?" She said. I glared at her.
" I am not jealous.' I said through clentched teeth. She looked at me as she knew some big secret that I didn't which is impossible because I know way more then she does.
" What is that look for?" I asked her jumping up and grabbing her wrists. She looked at me warily.
" If I tell you do you promise to let go?" She asked. I could almost hear the fear in her voice.
" I do not make promises." I told her but I let her wrists go anyway. She leaned in closer and whispered in my ear. My eyes widened.
"I AM NOT!!!" I screamed. She bounced away from me and ran to the other side of the room.
" Are too." She taunted. I knew what I was getting into and honestly I didn't want to do it but I did.
" Am not."
"Are to."
"Am not."
"Are to are to are to." She said. And just to be contradictory.
"Am not am not am not am not." Ha I said once more then she did.
" Are to."
"Am not."
"Are to."
Kat
I had so much fun making fun of Toma. And to figure out that he was jealous of Veggie was the amo I needed to make his life a living hell.
"Am not." He said like a little kid. I thought of something and decided to try it out not knowing if it would work on a sayain.
"Am not." I yelled.
" Are to." He yelled then he stopped short." Damn it." He said. I looked at him in astonishment.
" It worked. It really worked" I said a slow smile forming on my lips. He stared at me in anger.
" If you ever tell anyone what went on in this room today I will kill you ." He said then he left. I stared after him in shock. 'Was it true?' I thought. 'Could he actualy be jealous?' I had no idea.
I didn't see Toma again until he ot back but of course I had no idea that he left and it pissed the crap out of me. I laid down on Veggies bed and took a nap.
Veggie
I walked back into the room and saw Kitty sleeping on my bed. I didn't want to wake her up but I had to. I wanted to show her the thing that Bejita had gotten me today. I ran over and jumped onto her stomach shouting her name.
" KITTY!!!!" She sat up quickly and because I had landed on her stomach at that exact point I knocked all the air out of her and she spit on me.
" Eeewwww" I said. Kitty lay back panting heavily.
" Hey Veggie." She said holding her stomach. I wiped off my face eith my sleeve and then I looked at her happily.
" Guess what Kitty?" I said bouncing up and down on her stomach.
" Wh...aa....aaa...tttt...... Veeggg.....iieee." She tried to get out but everytime I landed on her she exhaled really fast. It was really funny. I laughed.
" BEJITA TOOK ME TO SEE THE BIG SHIPS THAT THEY BRING FOOD HERE IN AND HE GOT ME A REALLY PRETTY ORANGE THING!!!" I shouted pulling the orange thing out of my pocket. She stared at it in wonder.
" Veggie. That's an orange." She told me. I looked at her exasperated.
" Of course it's orange." I told her.
" No no. It's a fruit from my planet called an orange." She said sitting up.
" Does it taste good?" I asked her. She nodded.
" Only if it's ripe though." She said then she took the orange from me and tore the pretty skin off. Under neath was another pretty round ball covered in fuzz. Kitty broke the thing open and handed me a slice. I stuck it in y mouth and chewed. My eyes widened and my mouth got all smushed up. Kat looked at me and laughed.
" It's sour huh." She said sticking a piece in her mouth. Her mouth didn't do the smush thing but her eyes got a little narrow.
" So. What do you want to do today?" She asked me. I smiled and pointed to my chemistry set.
Bejita
I dropped Veggie off at his room and went to talk to my father. On the way to his room I juggled some of the fruit I had gotten from the first shipment. I hadn't tasted any yet but I would later when I could savor it. I walked into my fathers room and saw only servants.
" Hey you." I said to one. It stepped forward." Where is my father?" I asked him.
" At the air field." The servant replied. I graoned. This could not be good. I ran most of the way there trying to get there as fast as I could. My idiot father was probably getting himself stuck in an engine compartment or something. I reached the air field and saw lines upon lines of men waiting around and atop a platform at the end of the lines was my father. I saw Toma at the end of the third line and went over to talk to him.
" Whats going on?" I asked him quietly when I reached him. He looked at me as if I were a bug.
" Your father is telling us all of the glory days." He told me. I graoned. I had heard so much about the glory days that It mad me gag to hear it.
".......and so when we reach th ebattle field I want you all to know that.....WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!!!The king said making some very stupid looking poses. My cheeks flamed red as I heard some of the other soldiers snicker behind me.
" Your going to war?" I asked Toma. He nodded.
" That's why I left Kat with your brother." He told me. 'Ah.' I thought.' So he's to blame.'
" I thought that I could bring her here and teach her a lesson. But she fellin love with Veggie that moment that she first saw him." Toma finished sounding a little strange.
" Women." I said.
" Hai." He replied.

I helped Veggie finish his lazer gun then we went to the garden to see if it worked. Unfortunatly for the other servants. It did. Veggie shot everything that he could get his sights. And he was all over the garden to. Every time I turned around he was gone. Off to some other corner shooting someone else. I ran the whole day. That night after dinner I tucked Veggie in and then I laid down on my pallet on the floor and was about to go to sleep when Veggie leaned over the bed.
" Kitty?" He said.
" What?" I asked.
" Are you asleep?" I looked at his adorable little out line.
" No Veggie." I told him.
" Would you get me my stuffed wooss?" He asked. I stared at him in confusement.
" Veggie I don't know what you stuffed wooss is." I told him.
" He's over on the shelf." Veggie said persisting. I sighed and stood up and walked over to the shelf. I pointed at various objects and each was refused until I came a to a fuzzy thing that had no arms or legs just fur.
" Yeah yeah that one." Veggie cried. I grabbed the thing and handed him to Veggie.
" Thank you Kitty." He said with a yawn and with that he lay back on his bed and fell asleep. I watched him for a minute thinking about how cute he was then I laid down my self and went to sleep.
The next morning Veggie woke me up again saying something about the troops leaving for war.
" What Veggie?" I yawned.
"Can we go see the ships leave?" He asked excitedly. I nodded and stood. Seeing as I only had the one out fit I didn't need to change so we just left.
We walked a long time before finally reaching the take off platform. It was covered in huge ships with they're engines running.
" By Daddy!!" Veggie cried waving to a ship." Bye Toma!!" He cried. My eyes widened.
" Veggie did Toma leave for war?" I asked the little boy. Veggie nodded. I looked back up at the departing ships.
" Damn you Toma." I muttered.
