Chapter Six
The Trip to the Mall
The gang came waltzing through the school doors side by side and Chi-Chi and Goku hand in hand. They strolled down the long pathway towards the student parking lot while talking and giggling at each other. 18 was telling her friend's about the incident that happened in her science class and the gang ended up bursting into fits of laughter.
"Yea, and the kid blew a spitball at the teacher and it landed on his head. The old guy thought the ceiling was falling down. So he made us all run out of the classroom and out into the front of the school." Everyone was laughing their heads off, even Vegeta was chuckling a bit.
"What a dumb ass!" Raditz hollered. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"Yea, maybe we should try that." Krillin suggested. They arrived at the parking lot and hopped into their vehicles. Bulma backed out of her parking space and halted at the stop sign where the exit was.
"We're gonna take a shortcut so follow me!!" She yelled over the loud music blaring through her speakers. Vegeta, who was right behind her, raised his hand to signal that he heard her and passed the message to the rest of their friends behind him. They sped out of the lot and cruised down the busy highway towards the mall. Bulma led the pack off of the highway and her shortcut began with many windy roads. After no time, they pulled into the huge parking lot of the mall and they all parked their cars side by side.
"Man, that was fast. I have to remember that way next time I come here." Chi-Chi muttered to herself as she stepped out of Goku's car.
"That was confusing. How would you be able to remember something like that?" Goku grumbled while scratching the top of his head.
"Goku sweetie, everything is confusing to you. Plus, I have a good memory." She remarked while grabbing his arm and joining the others.
"Alright, lets do some shopping first, and then go get the puppy." 18 proposed. Everyone nodded and headed into the oversized building. Ami was treading slowly in the back of the group with a distant look on her face. Bulma noticed her straggling behind and she slowed down and walked beside her.
"Hey Ames. What's up?" No answer. Bulma gazed at her empty onyx eyes and wondered what she was thinking about. "Ames? Earth to Ami!" Bulma snapped her fingers in front of Ami's face and her head jerked away.
"What the? Oh hey B. Whatcha want?" Ami asked trying to sound cheerful while smiling. Obviously fake.
"You ok? You've been kinda…zoning out a lot lately."
"Oh yea. I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"Yup. So what store are we going to now?" Ami asked, acting like nothing just happened.
"Doesn't matter. I actually don't really need anything except for my puppy."
"Oh." Ami said gloomily.
"Hey don't sweat it. You can come over all the time and help me take care of him. You'll get a dog sooner or later." Bulma put her arm around Ami's shoulders to offer a bit of comfort. Ami smiled up at her and wrapped her arm around her friend's shoulders. They both giggled and skipped up towards the front of the group ignoring all of the weird looks they received.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Vegeta bellowed.
"Skipping. What the hell does it look like we're doing?" Bulma retorted.
"Hanging onto each other like lesbo's."
"You wish! I can assure you we're not." Vegeta smirked and jogged up and behind Bulma.
"Are you sure about that woman?" He whispered hoarsely into her ear. Bulma gulped and a light crimson rose to her cheeks.
"Very." She narrowed her eyes at him and he just smirked even more.
"Vegeta shut up! You're such an asshole sometimes. Come on Bulma, let's go buy some pretzels." Ami let go of Bulma and trudged over to a nearby Auntie Anne's. Bulma abruptly stopped skipping, causing Vegeta to bump into her and she lost her balance. Before she could reach the cold hard floor, someone grabbed her around the waist and hoisted her back onto her unsteady feet. She whipped her head around and her eyes met with coal black ones.
"Next time, warn someone when you stop in the middle of a busy hallway woman." Vegeta smirked at her (surprising isn't it?) and Bulma blushed furiously.
"Sorry." Vegeta released his grip on her and Bulma smiled sheepishly at him before hastily retreating over to Ami. Ami looked at Bulma's flushed face and she raised an eyebrow at her.
"What's with you?" Ami asked while taking a step towards the counter. She was second in line and was growing agitated with the slow service.
"N-nothing. Nothing at all." She was trying to convince herself more than answering Ami.
"Whatever." After five minutes, it was their turn and they ordered two pretzels. Bulma paid for the pretzels and the two girls headed over to a bench and sat down while taking their pretzels out of their bags and taking a few bites.
"So how long are you staying over at Goku's?"
"Not sure. I know that we'll have to go back sometime, but I think we should just let my father be for a couple of days. It's not every day he gets thrown from a car." Bulma giggled and cupped her hand over her mouth so her food wouldn't fall out while she chewed. Ami laughed at Bulma's attempt to save her food and they both burst out into a fit of giggles. After a few minutes, they calmed down and soon enough finished their pretzels.
"Ok, now where did the rest of our friends go?" Ami asked while scanning the nearest stores for any sign of weird black haired kids. (That would be Goku and Vegeta! ^_^) Bulma's eyes landed on a glass wall and she could see a hint of blonde and black. She hurriedly tapped Ami's shoulder and Ami whipped her head around to look where her friend was pointing.
"Over there." Bulma pointed to the store to the right of them that had manikins modeling lingerie in the glass window and a huge sign above the entrance that read "Victoria Secrets".
"Figures." They treaded over to the feminine store and entered through the huge doorway. As soon as they entered, they spotted 18 and Chi-Chi inspecting some bottles of perfume. They scurried over to their two friends and popped up in front of them.
"Heya!" Ami greeted while waving in Chi-Chi's face. Chi-Chi yelped in surprise and jumped in the air about 10 feet high.
"What the hell did you do that for? You scared the shit out of me!" Ami smiled sheepishly at her and giggled.
"Sorry. Where are the boys?"
"They're checking out the rest of the store. You know, they're guys in a lingerie store. What do you think they'd be doing?" 18 answered before Chi-Chi had a chance to speak.
"Hmm…probably trying on the stuff." The girls giggled at the obvious joke that Bulma made and they brought their attention to the attendant that came to ask if they needed help.
"No thanks, we're just looking." Chi-Chi responded. The employee just nodded her head and went about her business in another part of the store. 18 opened up the bottle in her hand and pushed the top to smell the fascinating scent. The aroma of Dream Angels Heavenly perfume filled the air and tickled the girl's noses, making Ami sneeze over and over again.
"Allergic or something?" 18 asked while smiling at Ami's now flushed face from sneezing so much.
"I guess. The stuff must be pretty strong to make me sneeze." 18 nodded in agreement and jogged over to the service desk.
"Hi, I'd like to purchase this." 18 smirked and the cashier smiled at her.
"Sure. Cash or check?"
"Cash." The lady rang up the perfume bottle and totaled up the price. Meanwhile, Chi-Chi sent Ami and Bulma to find the boys so they could go to different stores. They didn't argue and left in search of the three mischievous boys. They rounded a corner and Bulma suddenly got hit in the face with a something. She growled and peeled the intruding thing from her rosy cheeks. She immediately found out who the guilty one was since his hand was still extended in the air from the launch.
"Goku!! What are you doing throwing this at me?" She lifted a black thong in the air with her thumb and index finger and glared daggers at Goku. He just stood there and smiled sheepishly while walking up to her.
"Well, me, Krillin, Raditz, and Vegeta were sorta playing a game and I threw that at the first thing that caught my eye. Sorry." Bulma's expression softened a bit as soon as he put that childish grin of his on his face that made any girl's heart melt and make them want to pinch his cheeks.
"Apology accepted. Now where are the other three?" Her question was answered as a barrage of undergarments collided with their bodies and made the girls squeal in shock. They glanced over at the three laughing forms standing behind a show table and an evil grin spread across Bulma's face.
"Let's get em Ames!" Bulma and Ami picked up the clothing that fell to the ground beneath them and launched them towards Vegeta, Raditz, and Krillin. They ducked behind the table for cover and chuckled at the girl's 'lack-of-aim'. Little did they know that Ami and Bulma advanced on them and crawled under the table that the boys were occupying. They smiled at each other and before you knew it, Bulma jumped on Vegeta and wrapped her arms around his neck and Ami wrapped her arms around Krillin and Raditz shoulders. The boys jumped up from their seats on the ground and hit their heads on the top of the table.
"Owww." Krillin rubbed the top of his head and squeezed one of his eyes shut to lessen the headache he just received.
"Shit! That hurt!" Raditz grabbed at his scalp and clenched his teeth together in pain.
"Why the hell did you do that woman? Now I have a bump on my head." Vegeta complained as he rubbed at the sore spot on his head.
"Well, then you shouldn't have thrown lingerie at us and this wouldn't have happened." She replied. He glared at her, but his expression turned to confusion as Bulma lightly glided her hand over his sore spot and he winced a bit.
"It won't become a big bump, but it'll hurt like shit for a while." She smirked at him and he just glared at her again.
"Well, how did I know that you guys would be playing around in here?" Ami smirked at the two boys she was holding onto and glanced back and forth at the three victims.
"Well Vegeta started it." Raditz blamed. Vegeta glared at Raditz and smirked at the two girls.
"Just having a little fun, nothing big." Vegeta noticed that Bulma was still hanging onto him and he smirked at her. She mustn't have noticed cause she just kept hanging on. "Do I look like a pillow woman or are you just trying to make up an excuse to get close to me?" Bulma's face turned a deep shade of red and she released her grip on him. The next few moments were spent in silence since everyone was trying to register what just happened and how they all got under the table together.
"Yea, well what store do we go to next?" Ami's voice cut threw the silence. The boys just shook their head and Vegeta lifted cocked his head to the side to think.
"Food Court." Vegeta blurted out. AS if on cue, Raditz, Ami, and Vegeta's stomach's growled.
"Uhhh…I guess the food court it is." Ami giggled a bit and tried to break through the two barriers in front of her.
"Why don't you two go the other way?" Vegeta asked apparently annoyed. Ami glanced behind her and saw six legs standing on the other side of the table.
"Cause of them." Ami whispered while pointing her thumb behind her. The boys looked behind them and saw three girls' legs behind them.
"Let us out first and then you can go Ames." Krillin insisted. Ami leaned back and crossed her arms over her chest and 'humphed'.
"Haven't you ever heard of ladies first?" Bulma projected loud enough for the whole store to hear. Vegeta clamped his hands over his ears at Bulma's loud booming voice and he growled in irritation.
"Woman? Can't you keep your voice down? You're going to make me go deaf one of these days with that mouth of yours!" Bulma took the same stance as Ami and 'humphed' as well.
"Fine, fine. Go ahead LADIES." Raditz gestured to the floor in front of him and Ami and Bulma smirked at them.
"Finally, at least someone has manners." Bulma complimented. She got down on all fours and crawled in between Vegeta and Raditz. Then when she was almost out, Vegeta and Raditz adjusted their weight and pushed into Bulma squishing her like a sandwich.
"Ahhh! What…the.hell….are..you….two…doing?" Bulma choked out as all of the air from her lungs escaped through her mouth. She huffed and puffed and still couldn't move even an inch. She swatted her arms and legs out at Vegeta and Raditz and they just chuckled.
"Kami Bulma, can't even take a joke." Raditz chuckled at her red face and her balling fists.
"Grrrrrrr! Let.Me.Go." She whispered in a low threatening tone. By now, Ami and Krillin were standing in front of the table, watching their friends play sandwich. A game that Ami knew all too well.
"Come on guys, let her go. We still have to go shopping." Ami knelt down on her knees and helped Bulma out of her brother and friend's grip. Bulma came out of from under the table, panting for air.
"I'm going to kill you guys!" She yelled and leaped at them, but Ami caught her around the waist and held her back.
"Bulma, calm down! To get revenge on them they need to be alive." Ami remarked while holding onto the squirming Bulma.
"I think killing them would be great revenge!" She bellowed. Ami chuckled at her friend and whispered something in her ear and she immediately calmed down. Ami let go of her and Bulma glared at Vegeta and Raditz and pushed her way in between them and over to Chi-Chi and 18. Vegeta and Raditz watched her leave and then returned their gaze to Ami who was laughing at them.
"What a way to get on her bad side!" Ami doubled over in laughter and Raditz and Vegeta just narrowed their eyes at her.
"Hmmm…I think we use to do the same thing to you Ami and you acted just the same way." Raditz lips curled into a smirk and Vegeta was already smirking. (Warning: There will be a lot of smirking in this story!)
"Oh well. At least it wasn't me this time." She muttered under her breath. She walked beside them both with her arms crossed over her chest and over to the other girls. Raditz and Vegeta watched her depart and they followed hot on her heels.
"Can we leave now! We've been in here like forever." Goku whimpered. Chi-Chi patted him on the head and kissed his cheek.
"Yea. Let me pay for these and then we can go." Chi-Chi paid for her things and they left the store.
"Where to now?" 18 asked everyone. They all scanned the nearest stores and found them to all be too girlish and cheap for them.
"We were saying that we would go to the food court and then go get the puppy. Sound good?" Ami announced to everyone. They all shook their head in agreement and headed to the second floor towards the luscious smell of food. Chi-Chi and 18 led them to two empty tables and the guys pushed them together. They all called random seats and ran to the nearest line they could find for food. It just so happens that Raditz, Chi-Chi, Krillin, and 18 went to the pizza line, Ami and Bulma went to the pasta line and Vegeta and Goku went to the Burger King line.
"I want twenty cheeseburger Mighty Kids meals and make all of the drinks Coke." Goku ordered. Vegeta ordered the same and waited on the side for their orders.
"What do you guys want?" Raditz asked. Chi-Chi looked over the menu on the wall and bit her lip.
"Two slices of Pepperoni and Sausage pizza." Krillin looked at the yummy pizza being made in front of him and he licked his lips.
"Same." He answered and subconsciously licked his lips. 18 pondered for a moment and shrugged.
"I don't care."
"Good." They were next in line to order and Raditz ordered twenty-five Pepperoni and Sausage pizzas for him and his friends. He paid for them all and they waited for their food.
"I want six orders of Ravioli and four cokes." Ami told the cashier and she rang it up for her.
"And I want a plate of spaghetti and meat sauce." Bulma told the lady. The lady announced their total and Ami went through her purse for her wallet until she saw Bulma hand the girl a 50-dollar bill.
"You're too slow." Ami narrowed her eyes at her, but smiled none-the-less.
"Thanks."
"Sure." After a few minutes, the girls returned to their seats and found that Raditz, 18, Krillin, and Chi-Chi were already there.
"Wow. You guys must be hungry." Bulma eyed the couple of round trays of pizza and winked at her friends.
"Where's Goku and Vegeta?" Ami asked looking at all of the lines and finally saw them at the Burger King piling all of the trays in their arms. Ami chuckled and set down her food on the table. She skipped over to them and smirked as the two made a sad attempt to stack all of the trays on top of each other.
"Need some help?" Ami grabbed a few trays from both Vegeta and Goku's stack and winked at them. "Careless little boys." Vegeta scowled at her and Goku just smiled. They all managed to bring the trays over to the table and they plopped down in their seats.
"Now to eat it all." Goku licked his lips and dug into his food like this was the last he'd ever eat food again. Everyone ate their food with proper table manners unlike Goku over there and in no time was almost done. They threw all of the garbage away and stacked the trays on top of the garbage cans.
"Man, that was good eatin!" Goku rubbed his full belly and Chi-Chi snaked her arm around Goku's waist.
"Yea it was. I'm surprised you didn't hurl from all of that fatty food you ate." Chi-Chi remarked while giggling at him.
"You know me Chi! I can always hold my food."
"Yea, I think we all know that." Bulma grumbled. Goku stuck his hand behind his hand and chuckled with that sheepish grin on his face…again. ^_^ awwww…how cute!
"Yea, yea! Now off to the puppy store!"
