So This Is Earth Music…

Chichi, Bulma, and 18 were, quite frankly, bored. It was Sunday, the most tedious day of the week.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Chichi suggested. She was relaxing on a recliner, her head staring up at the ceiling.

"Nah," Bulma said, throwing a rolled up piece of paper in the air. A single beam shot through the air ands hit the ball of paper, totally disintegrating it.

"There's always target practice," 18 suggested, putting her hand back by her side.

"Nah," Bulma said again.

"Hey, I got it!" Chichi exclaimed sitting up. "Why don't we do what we did every weekend on Earth? I think it's time for the Subaru girls to go back in business."

"Oh, God, no," 18 moaned, rolling over and burying her face in her pillow.

"I think it's a good idea," Bulma said. She picked up a couch cushion and threw it at 18's head. "I liked Subaru." She grinned. "I even brought the equipment."

"Fine, fine," 18 caved in, but inwardly smiled. She'd missed Subaru, too.

"I brought the outfits, too."

"For real?" Chichi said, looking quizically at Bulma. "I thought you burned our outfits."

"No. I just said that because I was embarrassed about them. Hold on a minute, and I'll get them." She got up and went to find her suitcase.

What's this Subaru, you ask? Read and find out!

15 minutes later, all of them were dressed. 18 groaned again. "How'd you ever get me in this outfit on Earth?"

A very embarrassed 18 Gero was dressed in bell-bottom blue jeans with a red band at the bottom of both pant legs. She had pulled on a very mini pink shirt, so small, in fact, that it would've left little to the imagination if she hadn't been wearing that Indian-style, sleeveless brown jacket. She'd flipped her hair over so that one side had more hair than the other did. Her friends had also talked her into some jewelry, so she was wearing a purple bracelet around each wrist and two purple necklaces, all made of amethysts, and an armband with feathers. The impossible had happened, and Bulma had managed to put a wreath of purple flowers in 18's hair. They were at a tilt, though, so it looked almost gothic.

"Oh stop it, 18. You know you love it," Bulma said. She was dressed in tan bell-bottoms with a black belt, also with a pink shirt. This shirt, however, was long. Just above her stomach it split into an inverted V, leaving a string of beads that sported a tiny crucifix. The shirt also had a very low neckline and three gray buttons. Her sleeves were the strangest. They spread out at her elbow, leaving them hanging over her hands. At both the elbows were clasped a gold ring. As for jewelry, she was wearing an onyx ring, gold hoop earrings, a pink choker with a gold charm, a necklace with the same charm, a multicolored bracelet, and she'd even pulled out a pink headband with a green bow.

"You guys ready?" Chichi asked, wearing the most 60's outfit of all. It was a simple, baggy, low-neckline yellow shirt that stopped just above her waistline, with the same long sleeves that slid over her hands. She pulled on a pair of tight-fitting, azure bell-bottoms. She had pulled her hair back in a low ponytail, leaving two large strands hanging on her forehead. She pulled on a wreath of white flowers that fit just below her bangs. And the only jewelry she wore was a peace sign necklace made of opal.

(Hehe, I'm getting this out of an Animerica magazine)

"Yeah, I guess," 18 said, tilting those purple flowers to make her look even more gothic. "Let's head into that ballroom and set up there."

The three girls were fully aware of the attention they were receiving from the diplomats and servants milling about in the hallway. This fashion had never reached Vegetasei, all clothes worn on Vegetasei generally consisted of armor for the men and a type of dress for the women. Both were fit for training. But this strange breach of fashion made heads turn to look at them.

Samantha and her little clique were also milling about the hallway. They glared after the three friends with sneers of disapproval. "Nice clothes," Samantha remarked to Bulma. "You'll really attract some attention." Cleo, Nydia, and Ilana all giggled their blonde heads off.

"Same to you," Bulma said with the same mien of snobbishness, looking at Samantha's attire, an outfit of training clothes, which generally meant a white shirt and gray sweatpants. "I certainly hope the men at the training grounds don't laugh so hard that they make you deaf. I wouldn't want you knocked out of the competition too early, would I?"

Before Samantha could reply, Bulma had walked off with her friends towards the auditorium.

"Oh, please tell me they have plugs on Vegetasei," Chichi grumbled, holding the electric cords to their microphones. "Aha!" She stuck the cords into an electrical outlet and gave the thumbs up signal to Bulma and 18.

Bulma tapped on the microphone to test them. They were good. As Chichi ran over to join them, Bulma pulled out a case of CDs and opened it. "What should I put on?" she asked.

18 noticed out of the corner of her eye the scorning glances of Samantha and her group, all lining up to see if the Sisterhood made fools of themselves. 18 pulled out a CD. "Here. Play the song 'Pop'."

"Hey, good choice," Bulma said, she and Chichi noticing Samantha as well. Bulma went over to her player, cranked up the volume to 10, and hit 'play'. The girls arranged themselves onstage as the music began to play."

All-Dirty pop!

All-Baby, you can't stop

And this music's all you got

This must be

POP!

P-p-po-po-po

POP!

The song instantly ended with the last syllable, and Bulma switched the player off.

Suddenly, they heard applause. It wasn't from Samantha or her friends, because they were glaring at them enviously. Instead, it was coming from the other direction. The girl turned to see…Kakarotto, Vegeta, and Krillin!

So, the boys know about the girls 'Subaru' band now. Let's just see how well they react.

Hey, did any of you know that 'Subaru' is Japanese for 'Three Sisters'? I thought, since they were so close, that they should be called that. The bands original name was 'The Sisterhood'. I picked that name b/c I wanted to go see 'Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood' but never did.

Now, someone sent me an e-mail with these complaints:

A) Bulma's last name is 'Briefs' not 'Brief'

B) Chichi's last name is 'King' not 'Kings'

C) 18 has no last name

D) Yamcha last name isn't 'Bandit', he has no last name

I have an answer for each of them.

A) That's a common mistake. If you listen to the episode where the reporters are interviewing Trunks, you'll here one of them say: "Trunks Brief, I like it!'"

B) I toyed with the idea of having her last name 'King', but I thought 'Kings' sounded better.

C) 18 needed a last name so she could be on that list, remember? The list was in alphabetical order. Besides, in this story, one of the side stories is that her grandfather on her father's side is Dr. Gero. This will come back to play in the chapter where 18 hangs out with Krillin.

D) I needed to give Yamcha a last name, b/c it sounded better for Bulma to tell Kali his full name and not just his first name. I was too lazy to look up the Japanese word for 'Thief', so I just put down 'Bandit'.
