Ch.8: The Return of Mighty Mask!
"I'm sorry, boys but I can't let you get on. You're not tall enough. It's
for your own safety you know." The guy who measures people in front of
rides said to Trunks and Goten who left.
"What are we gonna do, Trunks?"
"Well, we could dress up like Mighty Mask like we did at the last tournament!"
"But that costume got destroyed!" "Oh yeah."
"Hey Trunks! I got an idea!! We could buy some big clothes from that store over there!!"
"Yeah! Let's go. wait! We don't have any money, Goten. We're gonna have to find our parents. what was that ride they were on?. Raging Bull? Was that it?" "I think so" "'k let's go"
~~ "Were could they be?" Said a very angry Chi Chi. "Mirai and Gohan or Goten and Trunks?" asked Goku. "Any of them! What makes them think they can just take off like that!?!?"
"Hey Chi Chi! Goten and Trunks are too short to go on any rides! How far could they go? It's not like they can just convince the workers to let them go on the rides!!" said Bulma. "::sigh:: I guess your right, Bulma."
"OH! Can we go on this ride PLEEEAAASSSEEE????" Goku said as they passed the ride 'Viper'. "Oh alright" So, they waited in the extremely long and hot line to get on the ride. "Who's idea was it to get on this ride??" Vegeta demanded. "Don't worry, Vegeta. You'll be glad you waited in the line once you get on the ride!" "I'm sure I will, Kakkarot." "Hey, Vegeta, I hope you're tall enough!" Said Bulma just realizing that he might not be tall enough to get on. [A/N: I know you actually have to be taller to get on the 'Raging Bull' but I just thought of this and it would be really funny if it happened!! Hee hee hee] "Shut up, woman!!" Vegeta said in his normal fashion and, of course, Goku, Chi Chi and Bulma were used to it, but 'normal' people don't hear that everyday so. "Is there a problem here, ma'am?" A security officer asked Bulma. "No, why do you ask?" "Uh. him." The security officer answered gesturing at Vegeta. "Oh, no that's how he always acts." "I better go have a word with him. Besides, I'm not so sure he's even tall enough to go on this ride!" "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Said a voice behind the officer. "Who are you? And what are you doing out of line?"
"Hey Piccolo!! What are you doing here?" asked Goku. "I was about to ask you the same question."
"Look, I don't know what's going on here, but I suggest you" the security officer said, looking at Piccolo, "get in line and I'm going to talk to his gentleman over here." "What's a gentleman??" said Goku. "Shut up, Kakkarot."
"You Carrot?" The security officer asked Goku. "No. I'm Goku!" He replied, smiling. Then turning to Vegeta, the officer asked, "Who's Carrot?"
"No one, baka-" Vegeta started to answer. "VEGETA! Don't tell the security officer he's a baka!" Yelled Bulma. "It's alright ma'am. Just calm down." Replied the officer. "Hmph!" Gesturing to Goku, Vegeta said, "His real name is Kakkarot but these earthlings gave him the name 'Goku'" "earthlings? So what are you? An extraterrestrial?" The officer asked, but before Vegeta could reply, Bulma jumped in. "no, he just believes he's better than us 'earthlings'. It's better to just humor him" Frightened, the security officer said, while backing away slowly, "Ok, I can see everything's under control here. I must be going." "You should have let me blast him" Vegeta said when the officer left. And everyone around them started backing away. ~~
"What do you want to go on now?" Gohan asked.
"Any thing our parents aren't on." Replied Trunks. "Well, I don't think they'd go on Déjà vu" "Why wouldn't they?"
"Because. I really want to go on that ride! Heh heh."
"So do I. Let's go" replied Mirai, and they left. Then, at the line, Gohan said, "Wow! Look at the line! There's practically no one here!" "Hey! Your right! Haha!" Giving each other a high five, they ran to get to the back of the line. Ten minutes later and still talking about how lucky they are, Mirai and Gohan hadn't yet noticed that the line hasn't moved an inch. Then suddenly, when they looked at the ride, they noticed their surroundings and saw the truth of the matter. "We haven't moved an inch!" Mirai said. "Hey! Your right!. I'm giving it thirty more minutes, and then I'm leaving!" Gohan said. Just then, the line started to move, little by little and they came to the realization that the line wasn't really short. On the contrary, it was extremely long!- it just went in a bunch of zig- zag lines so as to make it look like a short line. "AHH!!" "Well, this explains why it was moving so slow." ~~
"It's no use, Goten. They're not here. They must have gone on a different ride." Trunks said, disappointed. "Wait! Isn't that Mr. Piccolo's head?" "Yeah, I think it is!"
"What's he doing here?"
"I don't know, but I bet our parents are over there!" So, Trunks and Goten left, and soon caught up with their parents. "Daddy!" Goten yelled upon seeing Goku. "Hey there, squirt!"
"We need some money!" Goten and Trunks said. "What do you two brats need money for?" Vegeta asked. "We want to.uh. buy some souvenirs!"
"Ok, here's some money!" Bulma said and handed it to them. "I want to see what you two buy!" Chi Chi added as the two chibis took off heading straight into a store. "Let's see. we need something big."
"How about this, Trunks!!??" Goten held up a pair of shorts and a huge shirt with the Vertical Velocity logo on it. "That works! But we need a hat so no one can see our face. here! 'k let's go pay." With that, they headed to the cashier and then to the bathroom. "I can't see a thing!" "well, cut some holes in it then, Goten!"
"I don't have any scissors"
"Use a ki blast then"
"Are you sure I can do that?"
"Why not? Just don't make it too big!" "Alright. here it goes" Then next thing you knew, there were two big holes in the bathroom wall. "Oops."
"Oh well, lets go" "What ride are we gonna go on first?" "Uh. How about Vertical Velocity" "Ok!" ~~
"Well, we could dress up like Mighty Mask like we did at the last tournament!"
"But that costume got destroyed!" "Oh yeah."
"Hey Trunks! I got an idea!! We could buy some big clothes from that store over there!!"
"Yeah! Let's go. wait! We don't have any money, Goten. We're gonna have to find our parents. what was that ride they were on?. Raging Bull? Was that it?" "I think so" "'k let's go"
~~ "Were could they be?" Said a very angry Chi Chi. "Mirai and Gohan or Goten and Trunks?" asked Goku. "Any of them! What makes them think they can just take off like that!?!?"
