I murmured in my sleep and turned over only to come in contact with something warm and living. I cracked open an eye and looked into Mike's peaceful, sleeping face. "AHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed and shoved him out of my bed. The still half-asleep teenager went flying across onto the floor.
He sat up, rubbing his eyes, "Bo… why the hell did you do-"
"WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING IN MY BED?" I yelled, breathing heavily.
"Don't you remember? You were drunk and one thing led to another and-"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" I screamed. Kami, let me be sleeping! Let me be sleeping! Let me be-
I woke up and opened my eyes slowly. I turned off my alarm. "Thank Kami! It was just a nightmare!" I sighed to myself and sat up. I swung my feet off the bed and onto the cold floor. It reminded me of a line from a song. I began to sing as I walked to the kitchen to fix myself a snack, "I woke up in a dream today, to the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor. Forgot all about yesterday, remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore." I began to fix myself a sandwich as I hummed the rest of the song today.
"Bouke…" Vegeta's voice came from behind me. I turned and, in surprise, dropped the knife I was holding. Vegeta was standing in the kitchen in just a towel. He began to remove it slowly.
"Damn… I must be dreaming…" I muttered to myself as the scene began to get better and better.
My eyes flew open to the sound of my alarm going off. I hit the 'off' button and looked around my room carefully. It might still be the dream within a dream thing, I warned myself. Everything looked normal… I stood up and stepped over Rogue and Bana. They hadn't been there in my two dreams. I walked into the kitchen and looked around carefully.
"It must be reality…" I mumbled to myself as I poured cereal into a bowl. I filled it with milk and then put away the milk. I walked over to the table where I dug into my food with vigor.
"Ikeike! Fix me breakfast!" Vegeta growled as he stomped into the dining room.
"Fix your own, fuck head…" I mumbled around my cereal. I had gotten little sleep the night before and I didn't feel like making polite conversation.
Zar then bounced in, hyper and refreshed from his sleep in the attic. He was followed by the other two boys, "Reishi! Can you make us breakfast?"
"Make your own, scum sucker…" I muttered and then laid my head beside my empty bowl. I was feeling a slight hangover.
"You should've drunken a pint of water before you went to sleep!" Zar offered, "The hangover is caused by dehydration of the brain and drinking water keeps your brain hydrated until the morning." I glared at him. He made a little squeaking sound and busied himself with fixing his and the demi-Saiyans breakfast.
"Who will make my breakfast?" Vegeta asked me.
"Why do I care?" I answered, closing my eyes and wishing I were up on the roof.
"What's for breakfast?" the ever-cheerful Kakarot asked as he waltzed in.
"And I guess your sleep was satisfying and refreshing!" I snarled, hoping they would just all go away.
"I love your couch! It's so comfy! Can I have it?" Kakarot asked.
"No."
"Oh… can I have the leather chair?"
"No."
"Can I have both?"
"No!" I slid under the table and curled into a ball.
"Can I have the house?" Kakarot leaned over and poked his head under the table.
"Go away…" he shrugged and walked over to the kitchen to get something to munch on. Focus… feel happy, feel joyous, feel enthusiastic, feel- KAMI DAMN IT! Who am I kidding? I groaned, letting Kami, and everyone else present, know how horrible I was feeling.
"Is she okay?" Goten chirped.
"Yeah, she'll recover in a few more minutes. Just wait." Zar replied and handed the chibis a box of cereal and a gallon of milk each, "It'll hold you until someone else fixes breakfast." He explained and dug into his bowl of 'Lucky Charms'. I watched his feet swing around under the table, hoping they wouldn't clobber me.
"When're we leaving for the zoo?" Goten asked.
"I dunno, whenever Piccolo-sama decides to take us. Early afternoon, I reckon." Zar answered.
"What's at the zoo?" Trunks inquired.
"Tigers, komodo dragons, otters, pygmy marmosets and other really, really cool animals!" Zar said happily.
"I'm going back to bed!" I called out as I crawled out from under the table. I stood and staggered out of the dining room, through the kitchen, down the hall and into my room where Bana and Rogue were stirring.
"What ate you?" Bana asked.
"And then threw you up." Rogue added.
"Nothing! Everything! Never mind!" I slid into bed and pulled the covers over my head.
"Drinking?" Rogue asked.
"You noticed?"
"Well, you're acting funny and also, you smell like beer."
"I thought that was her BO." Bana said amused.
"We'll leave you to recover then," I heard them leave and I sighed in relief.
Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I felt something hit the bed next to me. I peeled the covers off my face and looked at Mike. It took a few seconds to sink in and when it did, I shoved him off my bed quickly. "WHAT THE HELL?" I bellowed.
"What?" Mike rubbed his sore ass, "What'd I do?"
"YOU DON'T JUMP INTO BED WITH PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY GIRLS, AND EXPECT THEM TO WELCOME YOU WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN!" I screamed.
"I was hoping for legs but arms would do!" Mike replied cheekily.
"SHUT UP!" I pulled the covers back over my head and curled into a tight ball, "Go away, Mike. I'm tired."
"We have to send them back."
"Why? I still haven't gotten my pics of Vegeta!" I growled and sat up, removing the covers from my face.
"Well… some things are more important then naked pictures of an anime character. I mean, think about Trunks and Goten. They prolly miss their mothers a lot."
"Actually, I think they're enjoying this. It's an adventure for them, Mike. Let 'em stay a few more days."
"No, we have to send them back today."
"Okay, okay…" I sighed, "I guess Zar won't get his trip to the zoo."
"He's gonna be pissed."
"I know," I slid out of bed, "Let me get dressed and stuff and then we can ship them off."
"Okay…" Mike hesitated a moment before leaving the room. I grabbed some clothes out of my drawer and shuffled down the hall to the bathroom. Just as I was closing the door, Bana knocked it open.
"Hurry!" she hissed and dashed down the hall. I scratched my head and followed her. She and Rogue had already snuck into where Vegeta was staying. I quietly followed them and we all gawked at Vegeta as he took a shower. Bana snapped a few photos, always waiting till Vegeta was in the right spot or pose before hitting the button.
When he turned off the shower, we all rushed out. Bana clutched the camera in a death grip. I sighed, "I've fulfilled my life's goal. Kami, I'm ready to die now." I said with a smile. Hah! I got my pics! Bouke: 2!
"Ohhhh no you don't!" Rogue growled, "We still have to ruin Goku and Krillin's lives!"
"Aye! Don't die on us just yet!" Bana grinned maniacally.
"I'm going in the shower before Kakarot so I'll pour honey into the shampoo bottle." I agreed.
"Good! Now go forth and do evil unto others!" Rogue said and chuckled. I nodded and hurried back to the bathroom to take my shower and sabotage the shampoo. Bana went to the kitchen to get the honey. I waited by the bathroom door until she returned with it. I grinned in thanks and then entered the bathroom.
After I had cleaned myself and done my sabotage, I walked out of the bathroom feeling wonderfully refreshed and clearheaded. I went into the kitchen where Bana, Rogue and Mike were making waffles and pancakes. I stopped at the entrance to the kitchen and thought for a moment. Something was nagging at my mind… School! I was clear but Zar wasn't!
I walked over to the phone and dialed up his school. The secretary answered. "Hi! This is Bouke Enda. I'm calling in for-"
"Please hold," the secretary said snobbishly with a snap of her gum and I heard the elevator music begin to play. I muttered some very nasty things about secretaries and their habits. "What was that?" the secretary asked. She had gotten on and through my mutterings I hadn't noticed the absence of the music.
"Ah… nothing! Ahem, I was calling in about my little brother, Zaretu, being sick."
"Oh… that little…" she coughed, "Well, I'll send a note to his teacher. Thank you for notifying us. Click."
"Bitch…" I muttered and hung up the phone. I made my way to the living room where I pushed Kakarot's clothes off the couch and then lay down. I took a deep breath and smelled something nice. I took another deeper breath and tried to identify the scent. Mmmm… smells so yummy… it's smells like… like… KAKAROT! I jumped off the couch and looked at my shaking hands. What's wrong with me? I liked the smell of Kakarot! I must be going crazy!
I sat down on the leather chair and closed my eyes. I won't like the smell of Kakarot… I am a Vegetarian… Vegetarian… no carrots, just vegetables… but aren't carrots vegetables? So that would mean Goku is oka… I JUST THOUGHT OF HIM AS GOKU! I AM GOING NUTS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeril: That first dream was weeeeird… But the second one was nice!! *grins and chuckles evilly* Awh! They're sending them home! Piccolo's not gonna go to the zoo with the gakis! And I was looking forward to writing about that… *sniffles* Is Bouke going nuts? O.o;;; I know she's scared me…
Vegeta: How can she like the smell of that baka! She's one of my fans! The Saiyan no Ouji's! Not some third class baka's!
Kakarot: She likes my smell? *Kakarot looks scared*
Jeril: That was awesome how that Linkin Park song fitted in perfectly! *dances around* Happy, happy, happy, happy… *keeps dancing and chanting*
Kakarot: *to Vegeta* What was the number of that asylum again?
Jeril: I'm sooooooo happy! I got a baseball cap with the Majin "M" on the front and it's black with silver. It's awesome! I also got four DBZ t-shirts!! One has Vegeta on it, one has Mirai Trunks, one has both of them, and the last had Vegeta and Kakarot.
Vegeta: Kakarot, dial up the asylum now. 1-800-Y-O-U-R-M-A-D! She's gone beyond the level of obsessed and into the realm of 'psychotic fanatic'!
Jeril: *as Kakarot talks to the people at the Fanfic Authors Asylum, Jeril babbles on* Oh, yeah! Another thing, I was going to try to stay awake for as long as I can, but then I got a sore throat. So, I'm prolly going to be updating a lot as all I will be doing is sleeping and 'resting' in front of my computer. *grin* My friend stayed up once for at the least 56 hours and he hallucinated! I'm going to try and beat his 'record' when I'm not sick anymore. *laughs as the men in white drive up. Jeril notices them* NOOOOO! I'M NOT GOING BACK!! *goes Super Saiyan and fires a few ki blasts at the men in white*
Vegeta: Help me, Kakarot! *grabs one of her arms, Kakarot grabs the other. The men in white grab her legs*
Jeril: *struggling* NOOOOOOO!! Help me! Don't let them take me back! I can't stand it! The room service's horrible and the food's worse! *is being stuffed into the van* Not to mention all the nurses are as bad as Master Ro- *the door slams shut and the van drives off*
