Chapter 3

Azure dove under the bed and hit his head on the wall. He looked over and saw a strange looking cat in a straight jacket and its tail was on fire.

"Psycho Kitty!", it exclaimed then jumped out the window.

Azure decided to take a look around her room and see what was there. He took a look at her dresser drawer. He opened up the top drawer first. It was full of shirts that said things like "Princess" and " 2 Hot 4 U". He opened the mid drawer, which had her pants in it. "Hmmm", he muttered. The last drawer he opened was full of strange garments that were new to him. He pulled a strange item that had a triangle with a string at the tip going up the to the string that held the two pieces together. "Oh this must be a helmet of some kind!" and puts the "Helmet" on his head with the string going down his nose. Then he saw strange circular disks with holes in them. "Hmm...", He said. "What is a 'Garth Brooks'?" Then he saw a machine that looked like the "Garth Brooks" would fit in. He slid it in and shut the top part. "Now How do I turn this on?". He saw a button that said, "Play". "Ok. I'll press this button!"

He hits it and the thing blares out "WELL I GOT FREINDS IN LOW PLACES WHERE THE WISKEY DROWNS AND THE BOOZE CHASES MY BUH-LUES AWAY!.....

Mika raced upstairs 'What the hell is he doing?!' she thought as she ran upstairs. She dashed into the room and stared at Azure as she slams the door. "What are you doing!" She screamed. "You Could of got me grounded and..." she notices the garment on Azure's head. "Why is....." She asked,"My thong on your head..."

Azure looked puzzled "What is a thong", he asked.

Mika told him what it was in his ear. Azure turned red and hurled it across the room.

"Who are you talking to Mika?" Yelled her mom from outside.

"Nobody!" said Mika quickly. "Now Azure, you shouldn't touch my stuff." She whispered. "You need to stay put while I'm not in here. OK?"

Azure reluctantly answered. "Alright..."

Mika smiled, "Good!" She kissed his cheek and hid him in the closet. "Stay here for tonight...I'll find out what to do with you tomorrow!" She closed the closet door, leaving Azure in the dark.

It was a long night in that dark closet. Azure kept thinking about what the kiss meant 'Its nothing.' He thought, 'How could it mean anything...' He saw the light creep from under the doorway. He knew it must be morning.

Mika got out of bed and everything that happened the day before all came back to her. 'How could Louis try and rape me?' She kept pondering.

She cried a little until her mom said, "Get ready for school Mika."

Mika sighed and went over to the closet where she shoved Azure last night. He was awake.

"Hey Mika", Said Azure.

"Hey." Mika replied.

Azure stared at Mika. She stared into his big blue eyes. She shook her head and said "I'm going to school."

Azure then asked, "May I go with you?"

Mika looked at him like that was the most absurd thing she ever heard. "No," Mika said, "You need your parents to sign you up."

"Hmmmm", Said Azure, "Ok."

Mika wondered why he was so calm but she didn't care. She told Azure not to come out of the closet while she changed and he obeyed, so she was off to school. When she got there, she went straight to her locker avoiding Louis. When she closed her locker door, Azure was standing right there. He was wearing a Cowboy hat with his hair pulled back in a pigtail, a southwestern shirt, blue jeans, and a big belt buckle. "Azure....", Mika said shockingly.

"Say hello to the newest Mexican exchange student!" Azure beamed.

Mika stammered, "How...how...how did you do it?"

Azure pulled out his "Lil' Bastard Forgery Kit" (Another gift from Sir).

"O....k" Mika said. She didn't need to know more, besides he looked really cute dressed as a vaquero.

Then Louis came around the corner. "Oh look! Here's the slut!" yelled Louis, "Who's this your new boyfriend?"

Mika started to cry, "No...."

"Oh shut up you whore you know your easy!" As it turns out that Louis spread a rumor around school that he had slept with Mika, which was not true, but who would believe her?

Azure was mad. How dare he make fun of her! He had tried to rape the poor lass and now he's making her into the bad guy. "Hey don't talk to Mika like that!" He burst in rage.

"Who the hell do you think you are cowboy?" Louis said mockingly.

"I saw you...I know what kind of monster you really are...how dare you take advantage of such a sweet young girl...." Azure said in a quiet, angry tone.

"You wanna make something of it punk!" Yelled Louis. "Hey I'm a lover not a fighter, so go away and never talk to Mika again!" Azure exclaimed.

"Fine! You and me cowboy! After school!" Louis bluffed then stalked off.

Azure turned to Mika who was bawling her eyes out. "Are you ok Mika?" Azure asked her in a sweet voice. Azure was still fuming at Louis. As badly as he wanted to pound him into the ground, he knew he shouldn't do it.

Suddenly Mika threw her arms around Azure and said "Oh Azure! You don't have to do this for me...I'll be ok..."

Then Azure started crying with Mika.

Her classmates, except for her friends Lily and Todd, taunted Mika all day. "Relax, I know he's a total jerk." Todd reassured her.

"I'm so sorry Mika", Lily said apologetically "Its my fault you got into this.."

Mika then said, "No, I accepted his offer...I'm just so...so..." Then she started to bawl her eyes out again.

Azure walked up to the three and Todd said, "Hey, who are you cowboy?"

Azure answered, "I'm a new friend of Mika's from um....Mexico...yes...that's it...Mexico!"

Lily gave him a strange look, "Riiiight...."

Mika looked at Azure sorrowfully, "What are you going to do to Louis? The whole school knows about the fight and..." She didn't have to explain much more. She knew that Azure knew what she was getting at; he was too strong.

"Beat the living monkeys out of him cowboy." "Monkeys...." They all said in unison.

"Neva mind yo", Todd said.

Azure headed to the front of the school where Louis was waiting for him. "C'mon cow boy! Show me what your made of punk!" Louis mocked at Azure. Azure just looked at him loathingly. Azure stood with is legs out apart and his fists balled up and held near his chest. A crowd gathered around all cheering for Louis, except Mika and Lily who were cheering for Azure. Todd was chasing a black bird around with a stick.

"Ok cowboy I'm gonna whoop you straight to hell!" yelled Louis as he threw a punch at Azure. Azure caught Louis's fist in his hand and started to crush it. "Aaauuugh!", Louis yelled. Azure smiled as Louis writhed in agony, trying to break from Azures grip.

Then the principal came out and broke up the fight. "BOTH OF YOU! DETINTION ALL WEEK!", He shouted at Azure and Louis. "And for the rest of you don't forget the trip to the museum tomorrow! Its is highly educational!"

Everyone sighed.

Mika's mom came to pick her up but she asked if she could stay and wait for a friend. Her mom agreed and went back home. Mika waited a half hour when Azure and Louis came out.

"Ill kill you cowboy..." Louis said as he walked to his car and drove away.

"I waited for you here Azure..." Mika said timidly.

"I see", Azure said as he smiled. She put her arm around his waist and they walked home together.

Azure spent another night in Mika's closet. That weird cat in a straight jacket was right next to him all night long. Finally Mika opened the closet. But she had forgotten that Azure was in there and when she opened it she didn't have a shirt on.

Azure could not believe his eyes. She turned red and shut it right away.

"Meh", Said Azure, "She still had a bra on."

Later she got Azure out of the closet and on his way to school. At school all the teachers got the students together and on to the buses. Luckily, Mika and Azure got on the same bus.

"Hey Azure", Mika greeted.

He was wearing a black tank top and black jeans, same belt buckle as yesterday, and a black cowboy hat. His hair was tied back under his hat. They chose the very back seats as their seats and sat next to each other. "I just saw Louis load the other bus.", said Azure.

"Good", Mika sighed.

It was an hour drive downtown to the museum. They just sat there and looked into each other's eyes.

When they got to the museum they first showed them their star attraction: Seven Orange Glass Balls with stars on them. "These are the mythical Dragon Balls of legend," said the guide, "It is said that if one brings all seven together and calls out the dragons name he will grant them one wish."

Azure looked at Louis who was looking intent on stealing them. Louis walked up to Todd and said mockingly "Oh great keeper of legends give me the story on that 'Lightning Mail' you told us about!"

Todd cleared his throat and said, "The legendary Lightning Mail is said to be on the dinosaur island to the south inside the old Native American temple. It is said to give you extraordinary strength and have the ability to shoot bolts of lightning from your finger tips."

'Sounds like whoever has that becomes as powerful as a Saiyan' Azure thought. Then Azure walked up to the Dragon Balls. He knew the dragons name, he didn't know how he knew it but he knew its name. Shenron.

Mika thought that the trip was boring. When she got back to school she saw her mom there. "Mom, I told you I was walking home with a friend." Mika sad.

Her mom then answered, "Oh, I saw you with that cute blue eyed boy. That's why you've been walking home. I'm so sorry hun for yelling at you. I remember when I was in love with your father. Relax here, I got some money for you two kids to go to a movie and have dinner, OK? Be home by nine." Then she kissed her on the cheek and drove away.

Mika walked up to Azure and said, "Well, want to go see a movie? My treat?"

"Movie?" Azure said.

Mika sighed, "Oh, Ill show you..."

They went and saw a really funny romantic comedy. They both came out laughing. "That was so great!" Azure proclaimed. "We need to do this again."

They sat down on a bench and Mika said, "Yea..."

They looked into each other's eyes, and then bent over and kissed each other.
