Chapter 8: Narrow Escape
"Why are we still standing out here? We better go in there and get them" Keal said as he started to walk towards the entrance of the restaurant but Dayton pulled him back.
"What are you doing? We can't let Cheena's brother get her" Keal said as he looked at Dayton.
"If we go in there then we're only going to get them caught faster. No ones going to let us in so we're just going to have to wait out here for Cheena and Skier to return" Dayton said. Keal just glared at him then sighed, knowing there was nothing he could do.
"What do we do now Cheena?" Skier asked as she looked at her. Cheena quickly scanned the restaurant for anything edible to swipe. A smile quickly flew across her face as she watched a waiter place 8 cartons of food on the table in front of these two ladies.
"I see two things we can swipe right now but I'm going to need your help" she said as she looked down at Skier.
"What can I do?" she asked. Cheena smiled as she bent down in front of her. Placing her hands on her shoulders, she turned her towards the table where the food was sitting.
"We're going to take those cartons off that ladies table. I need you to put on a sad face and go over there. Look as lost as you can. While you distract them, I'm going to grab the cartons" Cheena said. Skier smiled but soon frowned as she started to do as she was told. Slowly she walked towards the table with a sad look on her face. Putting her feet in front of the other, she quickly fell on the floor.
"Oh my goodness, are you ok little girl?" one of the ladies asked as they walked over to her. Skier sat up and looked at her hands before starting to cry. Quickly the other woman ran over and knelt in front of her.
"Are you hurt?" she asked as she looked Skier over. Skier continued to cry as she looked at her hands. The lady took her hands into hers and looked them over.
"Do your hands hurt?" she asked as she looked at Skier. Skier nodded her head as she looked at the lady. She smiled as she looked at her friend who was right beside her.
"We should get her to the bathroom and wash her hands. They look kinda dirty" she said. The other woman nodded her head as she helped Skier to her feet. To the side, Cheena watched as the woman helped Skier to the back.
Over to the side, Gohi and Shampoo sat at a table looking over the menu.
"Would you sit up? We are in a restaurant" Shampoo said. Gohi just glared at her as he reluctantly sat up. Shampoo stared at him for awhile then sighed.
"She's fine! Don't worry about it" she said. Gohi stared at her then laughed slightly.
"I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about me getting killed if Gohan or my parents find out that she's missing" Gohi said. Shampoo growled slightly as she looked at him.
"How can you not care that your sister is missing?" she asked. Gohi just shrugged his shoulders as he looked around the restaurant. His eyes went wide as he saw Cheena standing to the side.
"There she is" he said. Shampoo looked to the side and saw Cheena. Quickly she grabbed Gohi's arm. He looked at his arm then her.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Let's see what she does before we go and do something. Remember what happened last time" she said. Gohi glared at her then looked at Cheena. Reluctantly, he stayed in his seat but sat on the edge, ready to start the chase all over again.
*Now's my chance* Cheena said as she tiptoed towards the table. Walking as casual as she could, she quickly grabbed the cartons by the handle and placed them behind her back.
*This thing is hot* she said as she held onto all of them. Walking as calmly as she could, Cheena smiled at everyone who looked at her. They all smiled back then went back to their meals.
*This is too easy* she said as she continued to walk away. To the side, both Gohi and Shampoo just stared at Cheena.
"She just took that food of the table. I don't believe this" Shampoo said.
"She's turned into a runaway thief. I'm not going to just sit here and let her get away with this" Gohi said as he prepared to get up but Shampoo held him back in the seat.
"What are you doing now? You saw what she just did and you don't want me to do anything about it?" he slightly yelled.
"Keep your voice down and just wait a minute. Let's just wait until the time is right, ok" she said. Gohi glared at her then watched as Cheena slipped past the hostess and walked out the restaurant. Looking around, Cheena frowned as she didn't see the guys.
"I wonder where they went?" she asked.
"Cheena" a voice said. Slowly walking towards the alley, Cheena smiled as she saw Dayton and everyone standing around.
"Where's Skier?" Dayton asked as Cheena walked over to him.
"I have to go back and get her but take these" she said as she handed him all the cartons in her hands. Keal and everyone smiled as they saw what she had.
"How did you do that?" Reshine asked as he opened one of the cartons and smiled.
"I just took it along with Skier's help. I have to go back and get her" Cheena said as she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Be careful in there. I saw your brother walk in there with some girl" Keal said. Quickly Cheena stopped and turned around to face Keal.
"My brother! Are you sure?" she asked. Keal nodded his head as he looked at her. Cheena took a deep breath then exhaled it out. Looking at Dayton, she prepared to speak.
"I have another idea. I'm going to go in and get Skier. Dayton you stay and grab her. I'm going to run cause I know my brother and he's going to chase me down. Skier doesn't need to be involved in this" she said.
"But what about you?" Dayton asked.
"Don't worry about me. I'll try to get away from him" Cheena said as she looked at Dayton. Looking at everyone, Dayton looked at Cheena and nodded his head. Nodding her head, Cheena walked away and back into the restaurant.
"How could you agree to that?" Keal asked as he looked at Dayton. He remained quiet as he handed the cartons to Ryoe.
"Don't worry! We're not going to let her brother catch her. We know this place inside and out. We'll help her' Dayton said. The rest of the guys nodded their heads as they waited for Cheena to walk back out.
"She's not coming back" Gohi said as he stood up. Shampoo was about to speak when she spotted Cheena at the entrance.
"There she is" she said. Gohi looked to see Cheena walking back into the restaurant, avoiding the hostess at all cost.
"I'm going to go put her in her place right now" he said as he started to get up but Shampoo grabbed his arm.
"Would you let me go" he said. Shampoo looked at him then over at Cheena. Looking at Shampoo, Gohi turned and looked at Cheena. She watched as she stood in the same spot she stood earlier.
"What is she going to do now? Steal more food?" he asked himself as he watched her. Cheena quietly stayed to the side as she looked around the restaurant.
*Where are you?* she asked herself. Her eyes slightly went wide as she spotted Shampoo and Gohi not too far away. Looking away, Cheena folded her arms across her chest.
"C'mon Skier" she said low to herself as she looked to the side. She smirked as she saw the two ladies come out the back with Skier. Cheena stared at Skier and smiled.
*Looks like those two cleaned her up all over* Cheena said to herself. Skier had her hair up in a ponytail and her face, arms and hands were clean.
"There you go. Now where are your parents? I bet they are going crazy wondering where you are" one of the ladies said. Cheena smiled as she stepped out in front of the ladies.
"There you are Skier. I've been looking for you. Mom and Dad are outside waiting for us. C'mon" she said as she reached out for her hand. Skier smiled as she grabbed Cheena's hand. Waving bye to the ladies, Cheena and Skier walked off and out the restaurant.
"Let's go" Shampoo said as she rose from the table. Gohi quickly got up and followed her as they both followed after Cheena. Looking back through the corner of her eye, Cheena saw Shampoo and Gohi behind her.
"Skier, run into the alley. Dayton and everyone are waiting on you" Cheena said. Skier looked at her confused.
"But aren't you coming too?" she asked. Cheena shook her head no as she looked at her.
"Just go!" she said as she pushed Skier away and towards the alley.
"Cheena" Skier yelled as someone grabbed her. Before she could scream, she looked to see Ryoe. Turning around, she saw Dayton holding her.
"Dayton, Cheena's said she's not coming back. Why?" she asked as tears started to form in her eyes.
"Don't worry, she's coming back with us. Ryoe, take Skier back to the hang out. We're going to get Cheena" Dayton said. Ryoe nodded his head as he looked at Skier.
"But what about Cheena" she asked as she looked at Ryoe.
"We'll get her. Now go!" Dayton said. Looking at Dayton, Skier quickly ran after Ryoe back to the hang out.
"Now to get Cheena" Dayton said as he looked to the side. Cheena stood near the restaurant and the alley waiting for Gohi and Shampoo to come out. Almost on cue, Shampoo and Gohi walked out and stood behind her.
"Having fun stealing Cheena?" Gohi said as he glared at her. Cheena remained standing still as she looked straight ahead.
"Mind your business Gohi" she said. Gohi growled as he glared at her.
"Cheena, what are you doing? Why did you run away and steal those people's food?" Shampoo asked. Cheena smirked as she rolled her eyes.
"Because I felt like it! Besides no one cares anyway, now if you don't mind, I have places to go" she said as she started to walk off. Gohi's anger swelled as he quickly grabbed by the shirt and spun her around.
"You're not going anywhere except home" he yelled. Cheena glared at him as she struggled to pull away.
"Leave me alone! You're the one who wanted me gone anyway, you and Goten. I'm doing you both a favor" she said. Gohi just stared at her as he maintained his grip on her shirt.
"I heard what you said about me. I hate you Gohi now let me go" Cheena yelled as she continued to try to break free. Gohi just smirked as he picked her up and placed her under his arm.
"Let's go! We will talk about this when we get home" he said as he turned and started to walk off.
"NO! I'M NOT GOING HOME! LET ME GO!!" Cheena yelled as she leaned over and bit his arm. Gohi yelled as he dropped her on the ground. Quickly getting up, Cheena turned around and took off.
"CHEENA!" Gohi yelled as he ran after her. In the alley, Dayton watched as Cheena and Gohi ran by.
"Now what?" Keal asked.
"Now we help her. Let's go" Dayton said as he took off down the alley with Reshine and Keal right behind him. Cheena continued to run, occasionally looking back to see Gohi close behind her.
"Leave me alone! Go home where you and Goten belong" she yelled as she continued to run.
"I'm not playing with you Cheena. You're already in trouble, don't dig yourself into a more deeper hole" Gohi yelled as he continued to run after her. Cheena continued to run as she turned a corner. Gohi was right behind her, growling all the way.
"Cheena, stop playing around" he yelled.
"Leave me alone! I hate you!" she yelled as she turned another corner. As she started to run, a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side. Before she could scream, a hand covered her mouth.
"Be quiet!" a voice said. Cheena looked up to see Keal behind her looking at her. Keal remained quiet as he tiptoed backwards down the alley, holding onto Cheena. Cheena looked in front of her to see Gohi standing in front of the alley looking around.
"Now where did she go?" he asked. Looking in the alley, he saw Cheena and Keal. Quickly he ran in and after them.
"Damn!" Keal said as he picked Cheena up and started to run.
"CHEENA!" Gohi yelled as he ran after them. Keal continued to run as he turned a corner and stopped, it was a dead end with only a dumpster behind them.
"Oh no!" Cheena said as she turned around to see Gohi in front of her. Backing up into Keal she stared at Gohi.
"I'm done playing with you Cheena. I am beyond pissed off now get over here" he yelled. Keal growled as he pulled Cheena close to him and stared at Gohi. Gohi laughed as he looked at Keal.
"And who are you? Her bodyguard? Boy, get away from my sister before I take you out" Gohi said as he stepped closer to them. Keal and Cheena just stared at him as he approached.
"Now what?" Cheena asked as she turned to Keal. He shrugged his shoulders as he stared at Gohi. Just then something hit Gohi in the back. Turning around, Gohi looked to see Reshine tossing things at him.
"Leave them alone" he yelled. Gohi growled as he started to power up. Immediately Reshine stopped and stared at Gohi.
"Whoa" he said in shock. Keal and Cheena both looked on before Keal grabbed Cheena.
"C'mon" he yelled as he pushed the dumpster to the side to reveal a small hole.
"Go in" he said. Cheena stared at him then at her brother before crawling in. Keal looked at Reshine then Gohi before following after Cheena. Reshine smiled as he watched them go.
"I think you missed something" he said. Gohi stared at him then turned around to see no one.
"What the hell?" he yelled as he ran over to where they were and saw the hole. He looked inside then frowned.
"I can't fit in there that means I lost her again" he yelled. Turning around, he saw the Reshine was gone as well. Screaming as loud as he could, Gohi powered up into a Super Saiyan.
"I've had enough of this" he yelled as he stormed out of the alley, anger clearly on his face.
