Last of Two Planets
Part 6: What to Do
Chapter 32: Or Maybe It's Not So Easy
I do not own Dragonball Z.
============================================================================
Goz! Mez! It's been a while guys. Why don't you sit down and have something to eat?
Sorry Goku bu- the smaller ogre in classes cleared her throat, silencing Goz.
Mr. Son, I'm sure you are aware of the rules pertaining to the deceased.
Rules? Umm Goku scratched his head in thought. Oh yea! I remember someone telling me something when I died the first time. But I don't remember what he said since I wasn't really paying attention.
The ogre sighed, Very well. She snapped her fingers and a book several inches thick appeared before her, suspended in the air.
I didn't know there were so many rules for the dead, said Goku. Are you gonna read that entire book to me?
No, and this is the condensed version. The full text would not fit within the confines of this ship.
Hey brains, that sounds like a book right up your ally, chided Sharpner.
Videl smirked at the blonde teen, At least Gohan would be able to read it.
commanded the ogre before snapping her fingers a second time. This time a magnifying glass appeared suspended in the air before her. she opened the book to a pre-marked page and cleared her throat. When a mortal being dies he, she, or it gives up their right to exist in the mortal plane until such time as they are deemed fit to return by the overseers of the after life or any special privileges afforded the deceased by heroic deeds accomplished while amongst the living are granted. The ogre closed the book and tossed it and the magnifying glass over her shoulder where they promptly disappeared. Do you understand now?
Goku looked up at her and slurped up the noodles hanging from his mouth and swallowed them, Were you talking to me? The ogre frowned at him.
Yes, wha- Gohan held up his hand.
I'll take care of this. Tou-san, what she said is that you are not supposed to be here right now.
Really? Then where am I supposed to be? Lime, Erasa, and Sharpner looked at him, awestruck with how thick the man's skull must be not to understand that.
In Otherworld with everyone else from Earth, replied Videl.
the Saiya-jin turned to the ogres,
Yes, and we were sent here by Yema to take you back.
Ok, but do you think I could finish eating first?
No, you cannot. We must return at once, replied the small female ogre as she straightened her gown.
Goku sighed and got up from the table. I guess I'll see you guys lat- They were gone before he could finish saying goodbye.
Gohan blinked at the spot his father had occupied seconds ago before yelling, Damn it! and slamming his fist down on the table, rattling everything on it and nearly spilling several drinks.
asked Sharpner.
They left without even telling us where New Namek is, replied Videl.
But just as she said that a piece of paper appeared in the air above the table. Trunks grabbed it before it could float down into a pot of soup.
Lime looked over Trunks' shoulder at the paper to see a series of letters and numbers scrawled on it. What's that supposed to be?
replied Trunks as he stood up from the table and walked from the room. Sharpner, Erasa, Gohan, Videl, and Lime looked at each other before following. They found the lavender haired teen in the cockpit punching the coordinates into the navigation computer.
So does this mean we'll have everything back to normal soon? asked Erasa.
Trunks frowned at the readout on the screen and replied, It depends on your definition of soon. It'll take us a month to get there at top speed. And that's if we don't make any pit stops on the way.
A MONTH?!?! yelled Erasa.
I thought this ship was fast! added Sharpner.
Gohan sighed, It is fast. And be glad that this isn't the ship that I took to Old Namek.
Why's that?
Because it would have taken us over a year to get there in it.
said Sharpner, Erasa, and Lime.
Lime looked up as something occurred to her, How are we gonna live on this ship for a month? I doubt we have enough food.
Trunks laughed dryly at her as he engaged the autopilot, Well what we had to eat today was one capsule of food. And from the looks of the cargo bay there's probably over a thousand of them.
But what about Erasa leaned closer to Videl and whisper, personal items? Videl snickered at her.
I'm sure you have enough makeup and hair spray in your purse to last you for a couple months.
I do, but that's not what I was talking about.
I think I saw some clothing capsules in the cargo bay, replied Gohan.
I think she means, Sharpner grimaced slightly, feminine things.
Erasa blushed some more and said, I didn't bring my birtfeminine stuff because I
I'm sure that Videl looked at her friend with raised eyebrows, You take birth control pills?
Erasa's cheeks turned bright red as Sharpner looked at her curiously,
But I thought that you and Sharpner haven't
We haven't, replied Sharpner as he leaned against a wall and crossed his arms over his chest. Gohan snickered slightly at how the blonde's pose resembled one Vegeta would take. Is there something or someone I should know about Erasa?
No no no! It's not like that! exclaimed the blonde. I take them because wellwhen I was younger I hadand the doctor put me on them. And wellnow I just take them in case well....you know The look on Sharpner's face was one normally only seen on one person, and that particular bald old man wasn't very well liked by the women who know him.
Gohan and Videl chuckled at Sharpner. Obviously this new piece of information appealed to the teen.
I'll have to check the medical stores but I'm sure Bulma put some of her and Chi-Chi's pills on here, said Videl. Those should be more then enough for you and Lime.
Thanks Videl, replied Erasa.
What do you mean me? asked Lime. I don't need them. And I don't plan on needing them anytime soon.
Gohan snickered as Trunks blushed, I give you guys two weeks before you can't fight it any longer. Videl looked at him in shock.
Gohan, I'm surprised at you. Lime looked thankful that Videl was agreeing with her. You know that they won't last a week.
Gohan smiled at her, Yea, I suppose you're right. There isn't really anyplace to go on this ship.
So one month aboard this ship and then everyone's back, this should be easy, said Sharpner in an effort to change the subject.
Gohan, Videl, and Trunks shared a knowing look. Experience and knowledge of the past told them that this probably wouldn't be as straight forward as Sharpner made it sound.
I hope you enjoyed it and please review.
