Chapter Thirteen
Grocery Shopping?
The sun shined through the bright windows and the curtains moved in a relaxing rhythm from the slight breeze. It was a perfect summer morning and everyone was still asleep. Trunks was the first to wake. He slowly opened up his big blue eyes and yawned quietly and rubbed at his eyes. He felt something on top of him and he looked down to see Jess's legs spread out on top of him and Lexy. He stifled a chuckle and looked at where everyone else was. Lexy was sleeping next to him, but she had her legs propped on Goten's legs and she was curled up closer to Jess. Goten was just drooling all over his pillow and he had his arms huddled around Jess.
"This would be the perfect time to get a picture. Now does she have a camera?" Trunks looked around Jess's room in search of a camera and finally found a case that resembled a camera case. He carefully removed Jess's legs from on top of him and laid them softly on the ground where he used to lay. He quietly glided over to the camera case and opened it up. It was a Polaroid camera that took pictures instantly.
"Bingo." He whispered to himself. Now who's gonna take the picture without laughing? Piccolo. Trunks treaded as soft as possible out of the room and over to Piccolo's room. He knocked on his door and waited for an answer.
"Piccolo. Are you in there? It's Trunks." Piccolo opened the door and glared at Trunks.
"What do you want?"
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Anyways, I want you to take a picture for me."
"A what?" Trunks explained thoroughly of what a picture was and how you would take one with a camera. After s little peer pressure and a lot of talking it through, Piccolo finally gave in and agreed to take the shot. Trunks led him to Jess's room and told him where to stand. He then lay back down underneath Jess's legs and assumed the same position he found himself in when he woke up. As soon as he heard the 'click' of the button and saw the flash through his eyelids he opened up his eyes and took the camera from Piccolo.
"Thanks Piccolo." He whispered with a lazy salute and Piccolo just nodded and shut the door. Trunks set the camera down on the floor next to him and looked at the picture that was just taken. He chuckled a bit, but immediately stopped when he felt Jess's legs squirm on top of him. He stared at her face and saw her eyes open groggily. She stretched her arms out over her head and looked around confusedly.
"Good morning." Trunks whispered. Jess whipped her head towards him and smiled.
"Good morning to you too. Did we actually sleep like this?"
"Yea and guess what?"
"What?" Jess asked as she propped herself up on one elbow and gazed at Trunks.
"I got a picture. Piccolo took it and he didn't do too bad of a job." Trunks stated as he handed her the picture that was in his hand. Jess took it from him and looked at it. She giggled a bit and held it back out to him. Trunks pushed her hand back to her chest and shook his head.
"You keep it."
"You sure? I bet I could make copies on my computer."
"You know how?"
"Yea. The computer is like my life, besides fighting."
"Alright."
"Yea. Well, are you hungry? Cause I am and I don't feel like waking them and having them all grouchy and whiny."
"Sure." Jess carefully made her way to the door followed by Trunks and together they left for the kitchen. Once they made it downstairs, they met up with one hungry Saiyan
. He was raiding the fridge and cursing for all of the matter. Trunks and Jess knew exactly whom that low voice belonged to and they stared at him curiously.
"Hey Vegeta. What's with the language?" Jess questioned as she and Trunks walked over to the kitchen table.
"Well brat, you have almost nothing in this thing." A scowling Vegeta said matter of factly while sticking his head up from the fridge.
"What?" She asked in disbelief. She stalked over to Vegeta and pushed him out of the way a bit and gazed into the refrigerator. Her eyes grew wide and she started opening and closing her mouth much like a fish.
"But, but, there was enough food in here to feed an army for like three months." Jess exclaimed while looking at the two Saiyans. Vegeta growled at her, still not forgetting that she pushed him and he roughly grabbed her by the top of her shirt.
"Now you listen here. Don't ever push me again or-"Or you'll beat me into a bloody pulp and blast me blah, blah, blah. I know, I know." Vegeta scowled at her one more time before letting her go. He stepped back a few feet and leaned against the counter with his arms folded and his face suddenly calm.
"So what do you plan to do about that empty thing?"
"Well Vegeta, I plan to refill it. But as you can see, I can't drive so I can't carry so many bags with me. That's why you are going with me." Vegeta's eyes shot open at her last comment and he shook his head.
"No. I am not going out there in that world and being some bag boy."
"Oh yes you are. If you're hungry enough you will. And you won't be alone, since Trunks is coming with us too." A smirk began showing on her lips and Trunks just stared at her dumbfounded.
"What? I'm not going. I agree with my dad, I'm not a bag boy either."
"Well now you both are. Get ready, we leave in 20." Jess exited the kitchen before any of them could protest and skipped merrily up the stairs.
"Great. Won't this be fun." Trunks sarcastically remarked while spinning around and leaving the silent room. Vegeta just stood there, not believing what just happened. ~ Some little 13-year-old girl just ordered me to do something? Me, the Prince of all Saiyans? She's got guts… just like my woman. ~ Vegeta smirked at the idea and decided to play along with her little game. He roamed the house and made it up to his room and slammed the door shut. He retreated to the bathroom door to find it locked. He realized that Jess must be in there and he grew very agitated.
"Brat! How long have you been in there?" He yelled through the door.
"I just got in here like 2 minutes ago! I'll be done in 10 minutes, so just get out your clothes and decide what you want to eat while I'm in here!" She replied with the same tone of voice. Vegeta growled, but listened non-the less. He got out the clothes he had to wear for the day which were the ones that Lexy's brother let them borrow and then sat down on the bed and pondered about what he wanted to eat. ~ Well, I haven't had a good steak in a while, and that cinnamon toast that the woman makes doesn't sound too bad either. Mmmm…and some eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, ham. The list goes on. Well, I'll just grab stuff and throw it in with the rest of the food we get. Hmph. Good plan. Wait, what am I thinking? Food should be the least of my worries. How the hell am I suppose to get back to Earth. I'll tell ya, that woman better think of something cause I don't feel like being stuck in a house for the rest of my life. ~ Vegeta stopped thinking as he heard the water in the bathroom halt to a stop and a little bit of shuffling around. After about three minutes, he heard a door click and he took this time to find out if he could enter the bathroom. Wha la! Victory! Vegeta closed the door and took a nice relaxing shower.
Trunks ran upstairs into his room and got out a pair of clothing which were the ones he wore onto this planet. They were like regular teenager clothes on his planet Earth and plus he'll just look like he bought the clothes from a store that sells DragonBallZ things. Trunks nodded in confirmation of his thoughts and jogged to the bathroom for a quick shower. After about fifteen minutes, everyone was done and waiting in the hallway to leave.
"First, Trunks you have to wear a hat. Lavender hair isn't normal on this planet. And sunglasses." Jess handed him a hat and he put it on backwards and made sure his hair wasn't sticking out. Then she gave him a pair of black sunglasses and he looked pretty normal to her. "Perfect. Now Vegeta……I have no idea how to fix your hair, cause believe me know on wears it like that. They dye their hair different colors and make them stick up in spikes. Wanna try that?"
"Brat, I look fine. If people stare at me and my hair, then it's a new doo. Got it?"
"Sure, whatever. But you need sunglasses too." She handed him a pair of sunglasses and he put them over his eyes. "Alright, we are ready to go. Just let me leave a note for the others to find." Jess strolled over to the kitchen, found a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down where they were. She stuck it on the fridge and raced back over to Trunks and Vegeta.
"Ok, now my mom left me her MAC card and pin number and stuff so I can get money. So first we need to make a pit stop at the bank and then we can spend as much money as we want." Trunks nodded and Vegeta just grunted.
"Who cares. Let's go." Vegeta levitated into the air followed by Trunks and then Jess after she locked the front door and put the key in her purse. They flew a few miles from her house and after no time, reached the bank. Jess scurried to the MAC machine and inserted the card and punched in a few numbers. After about a minute, money started stacking in a little area and Jess took it all without a word. She grabbed the card as soon as it shot back out and she stuffed it all in her purse.
"How much did you take out?"
"A thousand dollars. Just in case. I didn't know how much you guys wanted to get so I just got more. Trunks nodded and they all sky rocketed back into the air. A few minutes they arrived at the grocery store and landed behind the huge building so know one would see them. They walked to the entrance of the building and proceeded on. Jess and Trunks each grabbed a cart and they started off on their journey for food.
Gohan sleepily made his way downstairs expecting everyone else to be there, but they weren't. He shrugged it off and treaded over to the refrigerator for a glass of milk and he found a note on the freezer door. It read:
Dear everyone,
There is no food in the fridge so I decided to go grocery shopping. I took Trunks and Vegeta with me so I knew what to get so don't worry. I made sure they wore regular clothes and made them look at least a little presentable. Be back in like maybe 2 to 3 hours so if you want anything to eat, um… oh well. Try to eat what you find.
Your friend,
Jess
Gohan stared wide-eyed at the piece of paper and opened up the refrigerator door to find absolutely no food or drinks. They ate and drank it all already. Gohan whimpered, very hungrily and then lazily dragged himself into the living room and switched on the TV.
Goten and Lexy finally woke up an hour after Jess, Trunks, and Vegeta left and they softly scampered down the stairs. They heard a TV and saw Gohan watching the new intently.
"Gohan, where's Jess and Trunks?"
"They and Vegeta went to the grocery store. They'll be back in like a few hours." He absent minded answered. Lexy and Goten's eyes widened in shock and they sat down on the sofa next to each other.
"Do you think people will notice them?" Lexy questioned. Goten shook his head and shrugged.
"I don't know. But I think Jess must be having a pretty hard time trying to pay for things."
"Nawww. She has her mom's MAC card. She can take out as much as she wants."
Really? Awesome. I wish my mom would let me do that."
"Goten, you know mom doesn't have that kind of money." Gohan included himself in this conversation.
"Well then you could give me your credit card."
"No way. You can get your own. You have to work for it, not take it from someone else."
"Yea yea. So I've heard. Well, what can we do while they're gone?"
"Um…do you wanna spar?"
"Sure. That sounds like fun." Goten and Lexy rose from their seats and took off to the woods for a fun match.
