GOHAN AND THE MAGIC MONKEY PIZZA PARLOR Chapter Ten: The Plot is Revealed!!
"Goten! Gohan! Wake up! It's time for breakfast!" Chi-Chi called to her sons. Goten hopped up from his spot on the floor in front of the television and ran into the kitchen. He sat down at the kitchen table and pounded his fists on the wood.
"Food! Food! Goten want fooood!" Goten cried.
"Alright alright!" Chi-Chi exclaimed, hurrying over to the table and setting down a large plate of dumplings. She quickly pulled her hands away when Goten attacked the plate and began to swallow the meat filled noodles almost whole.
"Good morning mom. I can't stay around that long, I got to get to work," Gohan said, snatching up a few dumplings from the plate that Goten was hunched over. His younger brother growled and snapped at his hand. "AH! What's gotten into you Goten?" Gohan demanded, smacking Goten in the back of his head. Goten simply growled again and leaned back over his plate.
"I'll get the broom and see if I can knock some sense into Goten. You get to work," Chi-Chi sighed, taking out a yellow broom and smacking Goten over the head with it. Goten snarled and bit at the broom, then fell out of his chair. He scurried back up, hunched over, and ran upstairs. Gohan stared at his mother. "What? I don't know what's going on with him either!" Chi-Chi exclaimed, holding up her hands. Gohan sighed and ran out of the door.

Matt scurried into the back room as soon as Petunia opened his cage in the parlor. He hopped onto a table and pulled out a radio then popped a tape into it. He was about to press play when Petunia walked in on him.
"...Matt? Wha-...How are you doing that?" she asked. Matt grinned. When he noticed the look on Petunia's face however, he stopped grinning.
"Listen Petunia. I can't handle you right now so we're just going to do a simple memory charm. You're going to forget about our little encounter and skip merrily back to your post," Matt stated. Petunia continued to stare blankly at him. "Tra la la la la," Matt sang before taking his wand out of his sleeve and waving it around. The blonde's face took on a spacey look. "Now...Just a quick run through to make sure that you haven't forgotten anything that you weren't supposed to," Matt said, rubbing his wand with his robes. "Who do you obey?"
"Maaatt the Magic Mooonkeeey..." Petunia whispered.
"Very good. Now, who is above Matt?"
"The piiizaaa..."
"Right. Now...What is the pizza's plan?"
"....."
"Petunia?"
"I...I don't remeeember..."
"Ugh...The pizza wants to control all you worthless humans and make his pizza race all powerful!! REMEMBER?!" Matt cried, tugging at his wizard robes.
"I remember nowwww..." Petunia replied.
"Good. Now this meeting never happened. Good bye," Matt stated, turning around. He heard Petunia leave the room and he quickly made his way into the shadows. Matt walked in the shadows for a long time, going deeper and deeper. Finally, he found himself in front of a large furnace. He hopped over to the door of the furnace and pulled it open before quickly running back to escape the sudden wave of heat that came flooding out.
"Maaatt...How are you today?" a voice inside asked. Matt took off his wizard hat and clutched it tightly to his chest.
"I'm fine sir. And how are you today?" he responded.
"I neeed to come out for a while...I'm getting too coooked in hereee..." the voice replied. Matt nodded his head and ran back to the furnace, wincing at the extreme heat. He put on some oven mitts and pulled a rack out. Steam came pouring out with the object as it hit the cooler air.
"I-is that better sir?" Matt asked nervoulsy. As the steam cleared, a very large pizza was visible. The crust at the side of the pizza had two holes in it, making it look like eyes. The other part of the crust had one big hole, and that's where the pizza's voice was heard.
"Yes Matt...It's muuuch better..." it said. "You're doing very well Matt..." Matt smiled and bowed.
"Thank you sir. I'm trying my hardest," he said, laughing.
"However..." the pizza continued. Matt's face fell. "We do need that one boy...What is hiiis name Maaat?" he asked. Matt cleared his throat.
"G-Gohan sir..." he whispered.
"Yesss...Gohaaan...We need him...Don't we Maaatt...?" the pizza questioned. Matt nodded his head.
"Yes sir. We do," he said quietly.
"Remind meee again Maaatt...Whhhy is this boooy so speeeciiial?" the pizza asked, a large cheese bubble appearing on it's surface. It popped and left a greasy stain on the floor. Matt stared at it for a while then gulped.
"W-we need him because he is so strong," he stated. The pizza made a low gurgling noise.
"Ha...Ha...Haaa..." it laughed. Matt's muscles tightened in fear that he was wrong. However, the pizza went on, "That's riiight...And whhhy do weee neeed his strengthhh?" Matt sighed in relief.
"We need his strength to help us subdue all those who oppose our plans and who were able to resist my powers," Matt said. The pizza made a slight hissing noise and another large cheese bubble arose on its surface.
"Maaatt...Have I eveeer told yooou how I caaame to beee this waaay...?" it asked. Matt shrugged.
"Kind of..." he muttered. The pizza sighed.
"It was that fateful daaaay...When those travelers weeent to the raaain foressst...They got sooo hungrrry...They triiied to maaake a pizza from the heeerbs in the foreeest...They picked sooome herbs that weeere only suppooosed to be used in poootions for medicine men...When they triiied to cook them...They gooot meee...The intense buuurst of heeeat killed them...And IIII was left to suffeeer...Suffeeer becaaause of the hiiideous creatuuure that theeey have maaade meee..." it whispered, glancing into a nearby mirror and letting out a long gurgling moan. Matt gulped.
"S-sir...People like the way that pizzas look...I'm sure that you'll be accepted!" he said shakily. The pizza growled and its cheese began to bubble and explode.
"THESE PEEEOPLE TODAAAY DEMAND PERFEEECTION! HOW COULD IIII BE ACCEPTEEED?!?!" he cried. Matt shrank back as some hot grease fell onto his arm, burning his fur off.
"I'm sorry sir! You're right! People are babbling idiots that need to be under your rule!" he said, covering his face with his paws. The pizza stopped bubbling and Matt peeked over his arms to see that it was staring at itself in the mirror again.
"We will make these humans paaay...Paaay for being so...Sooo..." his voice trailed off.
"Shallow? Narrow minded? Mean? Crude? Rude? Stupid?" Matt suggested. The pizza mummbled.
"Yesss...I guess sooo..." it sighed. "Now gooo...I have to reeest...And remember to geeet meee...Gooohaaan..." Matt nodded his head and put the pizza back into the oven before quickly running back out of the room.

"Hey, Trunks! Where's Krissy?!" Goten growled to his friend from his upside down position on the couch. Trunks also growled and gripped a nearby pillow, almost ripping its seams.
"I don't know Goten! If I DID know, don't you think that I'd be getting her by now?!" he spat. In a flash, Goten jumped off of the couch and had Trunks in a head lock.
"I don't feel like hearing your big mouth flap today Trunks, so just shut up!" he hissed. Trunks yelled and elbowed Goten in the stomach. The black haired chibi let out a surprised yelp and then was laying sprawled on the floor when Trunks had delt him a blow to the back of his head.
"You don't have to hear my mouth flap, so you can hear your head split open instead," Trunks sneered. Goten jumped back off the floor and charged at his best friend. In a few seconds, they were both flat out fighting. Suddenly, the door flung open to reveal Vegeta with a look of fury on his face.
"WHAT ARE YOU BRATS DOING?!" he roared into the room. Trunks and Goten froze, each in a mid-punch to the other's face.
"Nothing dad," Trunks replied, snarling at his father. Vegeta snarled back.
"It doesn't look like nothing," he said. Goten wriggled out from his friend's grip and ran over to Vegeta.
"Why don't you just mind your own business jerk?" he said, kicking Vegeta in the shin.
"OW! YOU BRAT!" Vegeta yelled, lunging after Goten who ran away, laughing nastily. Trunks joined him in the laughter and soon they were being chased around the room by Vegeta, who was getting angrier and angrier by the minute. "IF YOU BRATS DON'T GET BACK HERE SO I CAN BUST YOUR HEADS WIDE OPEN I'M GOING TO...TO...BUST YOUR HEADS WIDE OPEN!!" he threatned. Trunks laughed.
"Hollow threat dad!" he said. Vegeta stopped in the middle of the room and began to power up. Trunks and Goten stopped running and stared at the mighty prince as his power began to steadily rise.
"Should we Trunks?" Goten asked his friend, grinning. Trunks returned the grin with his own and nodded. They both also began to power up and soon there were three super sai-jinns standing in the room. Vegeta smirked at the two younger children.
"You think that you can beat me?" he asked. Trunks and Goten simply nodded before charging at Vegeta with a loud yell. Confused fighting broke out and the room was filled with flying feathers and various parts of furniture. A knock came from the door and Krissy opened it a crack, peering into the room.
"Hello?" she asked. She blinked when she saw Vegeta attempting to land punches on Goten and Trunks, then Trunks giving a swift kick to the Goten's back.
"Hey Trunks! I'm on your team!" Goten whined.
"Oh well," Trunks answered before quickly jumping out of the way of a kick by Vegeta.
"Umm...HELLO?" Krissy tried again. This time, Goten and Vegeta stopped, Vegeta holding onto Trunks' head to keep him from charging at them.
"Who are you?" Vegeta questioned.
"KRISSY!" Goten and Trunks cried in unison, running over to their blonde friend.
"Hey guys! What were you doing?" Krissy asked.
"Nothing much. Just beating up my dad," Trunks replied.
"Can we have some more of your medicine Krissy?" Goten asked eagerly.
"That depends...Are you two still sick?" Krissy asked. Trunks and Goten looked at eachother.
"Uh...Uh...Yeah!" Trunks said, giving two small coughs. "I'm still a little sick."
"Me too!" Goten added, smiling for a bit. Trunks stepped on his foot and Goten gave a fake sneeze.
"Ok. Here you go," Krissy said, producing two small blue pills. Goten and Trunks eagerly picked one out of her hand and popped in into their mouths. They swallowed and stood there for a while. Suddenly...
POP!
POP!
Vegeta stared in disbelief at the backsides of the two chibis.
"Heeey! You guys grew tails! That's so cool!" Krissy exclaimed, pointing at the boys' new furry brown appendages.
"Neat!" Goten cried, grabbing his tail and examining it.
"Mmm hmm," Trunks agreed, swaying his own in front of his face. Vegeta made a small noise, much like a rat being run over by a cart wheel.
"How did you brats get tails? You never had them before," he said. Trunks shrugged.
"I dunno. Ever since we've been taking Krissy's cold medicine we've been getting...Stronger," he said. Goten nodded his head in agreement.
"I see. This 'cold medicine' must be a new type of drug to make you stronger," Vegeta mummbled to himself. "GIRL!" he suddenly barked. Krissy looked up at Vegeta.
"Y-yes?" she asked.
"Give me some of your medicine so I too may become stronger," he ordered. Krissy shook her head.
"I'm sorry sir. I can't give you any medicine if you're not sick," she replied. Vegeta growled.
"Fine," he spat. "I'll just find out another way to become stronger faster." With that, Vegeta turned on his heel and stormed out of the room. After he left Krissy looked at the two chibis and rolled her eyes.

"Welcome to the Magic Monkey Pizza parlor! How many in your party?" Petunia chirped. Videl forced a smile.
"Just one today," she said. Petunia giggled and nodded, her blonde pigtails bouncing up and down. Videl's smile faded a bit.
"Like, follow me!" Petunia said happily, walking over to a small two seater table and handing Videl a menu. "I'll be back in a few minutes to like, get your order!" Petunia walked away from the table. Videl sighed and stared at the salt and pepper shakers, allowing her mind to wander.
'Ugh...I can't believe that we got another report in English,' she thought angrily. 'That thing's going to take me at least two weeks to do...I wonder how long it's going to take Gohan to do the report...Maybe I can talk him into helping me with it.' Videl sighed and shifted her eyes over the parlor. There were various people sitting at booths and tables, making small talk with eachother. She thought about Gohan for a little bit, then suddenly remembered something. 'Wait! The other day, after SaiyaMan helped me beat all those villans up...When he flew away, I noticed that he...He had a TAIL!' She shook her head. 'That's stupid. People don't have tails.' Videl told herself. Just then, Ronjit walked past, his fake tail bobbing up and down behind him. Videl snorted. 'People don't have real tails anyway.'
"Hi! I'm back! Are you ready to order yet?" Petunia asked.
"Huh?" Videl said, snapping out of her daze. "Oh, no...Can you come back in a few minutes?"
"Suuuure! I gotta go help out with something in the kitchen, so I'll get Gohan to take your order okaaaay?" Petunia said. Videl opened her mouth to answer but Petunia went on, "Sure it's ok! I'll send him out!" Petunia turned around, humming slightly to herself, and walked into the kitchen. Videl closed her mouth.
"Well...It's ok with me anyways..." she muttered. She scanned her eyes over the menu and quickly decided on a small cheese pizza and a coke. Videl continued to ponder about SaiyaMan when another thought struck her. "Why did I think of SaiyaMan when I was orginally thinking of Gohan?" she asked herself.
'Because you like them both,' A small voice in the back of her head responded.
"What? Who said that?" Videl asked, looking around.
'It's me. Your feminine side.'
"I have a feminine side?"
'Of course you do! And you should listen to me! You like SaiyaMan and Gohan!'
"I do not! I only like SaiyaMan, not Gohan!"
'Nu uhhh!' the voice sang, 'You only like SaiyaMan because he reminds you of Gohan!'
"No I-" Videl cut herself off and blushed slightly. The voice was right. She folded her arms firmly across her chest and pushed that thought aside. "I refuse to listen to you! You're wrong! I don't like Gohan! Why am I talking to myself?!" Videl uncrossed her arms and stared at the table. "Maybe you're right..." she whispered.
'Of course I'm right. Now look pretty! He's coming this way!'
"Look pretty? How do you do that?!" Videl asked herself.
"Hey Videl. Petunia had to go help Bread get his hand out of the blender-" Gohan stopped when he saw Videl gazing up at him with a biiiig smile.
"Oh really?" she asked sweetly. Gohan nodded.
"Don't worry...The blender is off...It's just that his hand is so big, and..." he stopped again. "Are you ok Videl? You look sick." Videl scowled.
"Yes. I'm fine," she said angrily, sitting back in her chair and crossing her arms. 'Curse my feminine side...' Gohan smiled.
"Alright then. Can I take your order?" he asked. Videl nodded.
"I'll have a small cheese pizza and a coke," she said quickly, folding up her menu and handing it to Gohan. Gohan gave a quick nod and began to walk away. Videl noticed his 'fake' tail behind him.
'Stupid tails...' she thought, reaching out to pull the tail off of Gohan. She gripped tightly on it and gave a very hard yank.
"OWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!" Gohan yelled, jumping off of the ground. Videl quickly let go of the tail and stared at him as he spun around, his face sketched in outrage.
"...But...It's...A...Fake tail..." Videl said. Gohan broke into a sweat.
"O-of course it's a fake tail! It's just that...Uh..." he stuttered. He looked around, realizing that everybody in the parlor was staring at him. "Ummmm...Beeeep beeeep beeeep," Gohan beeped. "Oh! That's the stove! Pizza's done! Gotta go!" he cried, running to the kitchen. Videl blinked a few times.
"Okaaay..."
Kim: Whoosh! I got it done! YEAH BUDDY!

"Like, follow me!" Petunia said happily, walking over to a small two seater table and handing Videl a menu. "I'll be back in a few minutes to like, get your order!" Petunia walked away from the table. Videl sighed and stared at the salt and pepper shakers, allowing her mind to wander.
'Ugh...I can't believe that we got another report in English,' she thought angrily. 'That thing's going to take me at least two weeks to do...I wonder how long it's going to take Gohan to do the report...Maybe I can talk him into helping me with it.' Videl sighed and shifted her eyes over the parlor. There were various people sitting at booths and tables, making small talk with eachother. She thought about Gohan for a little bit, then suddenly remembered something. 'Wait! The other day, after SaiyaMan helped me beat all those villans up...When he flew away, I noticed that he...He had a TAIL!' She shook her head. 'That's stupid. People don't have tails.' Videl told herself. Just then, Ronjit walked past, his fake tail bobbing up and down behind him. Videl snorted. 'People don't have real tails anyway.'
"Hi! I'm back! Are you ready to order yet?" Petunia asked.
"Huh?" Videl said, snapping out of her daze. "Oh, no...Can you come back in a few minutes?"
"Suuuure! I gotta go help out with something in the kitchen, so I'll get Gohan to take your order okaaaay?" Petunia said. Videl opened her mouth to answer but Petunia went on, "Sure it's ok! I'll send him out!" Petunia turned around, humming slightly to herself, and walked into the kitchen. Videl closed her mouth.
"Well...It's ok with me anyways..." she muttered. She scanned her eyes over the menu and quickly decided on a small cheese pizza and a coke. Videl continued to ponder about SaiyaMan when another thought struck her. "Why did I think of SaiyaMan when I was orginally thinking of Gohan?" she asked herself.
'Because you like them both,' A small voice in the back of her head responded.
"What? Who said that?" Videl asked, looking around.
'It's me. Your feminine side.'
"I have a feminine side?"
'Of course you do! And you should listen to me! You like SaiyaMan and Gohan!'
"I do not! I only like SaiyaMan, not Gohan!"
'Nu uhhh!' the voice sang, 'You only like SaiyaMan because he reminds you of Gohan!'
"No I-" Videl cut herself off and blushed slightly. The voice was right. She folded her arms firmly across her chest and pushed that thought aside. "I refuse to listen to you! You're wrong! I don't like Gohan! Why am I talking to myself?!" Videl uncrossed her arms and stared at the table. "Maybe you're right..." she whispered.
'Of course I'm right. Now look pretty! He's coming this way!'
"Look pretty? How do you do that?!" Videl asked herself.
"Hey Videl. Petunia had to go help Bread get his hand out of the blender-" Gohan stopped when he saw Videl gazing up at him with a biiiig smile.
"Oh really?" she asked sweetly. Gohan nodded.
"Don't worry...The blender is off...It's just that his hand is so big, and..." he stopped again. "Are you ok Videl? You look sick." Videl scowled.
"Yes. I'm fine," she said angrily, sitting back in her chair and crossing her arms. 'Curse my feminine side...' Gohan smiled.
"Alright then. Can I take your order?" he asked. Videl nodded.
"I'll have a small cheese pizza and a coke," she said quickly, folding up her menu and handing it to Gohan. Gohan gave a quick nod and began to walk away. Videl noticed his 'fake' tail behind him.
'Stupid tails...' she thought, reaching out to pull the tail off of Gohan. She gripped tightly on it and gave a very hard yank.
"OWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!" Gohan yelled, jumping off of the ground. Videl quickly let go of the tail and stared at him as he spun around, his face sketched in outrage.
"...But...It's...A...Fake tail..." Videl said. Gohan broke into a sweat.
"O-of course it's a fake tail! It's just that...Uh..." he stuttered. He looked around, realizing that everybody in the parlor was staring at him. "Ummmm...Beeeep beeeep beeeep," Gohan beeped. "Oh! That's the stove! Pizza's done! Gotta go!" he cried, running to the kitchen. Videl blinked a few times.
"Okaaay..."
