Ch.14: Bathing Suit Competition Part 3 (aka: 'Calendar Girls')
"I'm sorry it took so long." The crowd grew silent as the famous Ms. Satan spoke. "We had a little trouble with some guys and three of our contestants. From a lot of consideration and thought of each individual, we have come to an agreement on the winner. For the first time ever, we have chosen three winners." The crowd began to mutter amongst themselves. "And they are..."Videl paused for effect. "YUKI, AKUREI, and PERESIA!"
The crowd roared in satisfaction as the other 29 contestants left the stage and went behind the curtain.
"It was way to hard to choose between the three, and one of the judges asked if they could all three win. We thought it over, and thought 'why not?' They look so much alike, in fact two are twins and the other is a very close friend, so let's give them one more round of applause!" The crowd cheered as the trio blushed, looking down at the stage floor.
Videl smiled and continued. "Each of the winners will receive $1000 and their picture in calendar for the months of June and July." The crowed cheered once more, whistling ringing in the crowd as the girl stared disbelievingly. Videl gave the mic back to the announcer and walked over to her friends.
"Come on. Follow me. You guys may come if you'd like" Videl directed the last part of her statement to Bulma and the others.
Everyone followed Videl down the stairs, through the black curtain and through a wooden door in the back. The girls, however, had to be forced through the door by Gohan and Trunks (with help from the chibis) because they refused to get their pictures in some calendar for everyone to see.
Behind the door was a white room full of black umbrellas with huge, bright lights beneath them and a big, black camera in the middle of the room. The camera was directed to a blue screen with three beach chairs side by side with a little sand beneath them and a colorful beach ball and a pair of black sunglasses in the sand I front of the chairs.
There were five staff people: one behind the camera, three behind a large black chair sitting beside a mirrored desk covered in makeup and hair equipment, and the last was standing beside the scenery.
"Ah...our three lovely winners have arrived." A white man with a wacky hairdo, black sunglasses and black pants with a white shirt unbutton a bit so you could see his chest with a gold chain walked up with open arms. "Let me get a good look at you three." He circled them.
*Take a good look at yourself you moron*
Peresia, Akurei, Gohan and M. Trunks sniggered at Yuki's thought.
"Perfect! There's no need for any makeup. You three have such a beautiful complexion."
*Thank heavens* Peresia thought.
"But you two need to wear your hair down." He pointed to Peresia and Yuki. They pulled their ponytails out, and their hair flowed down in waves over their shoulders and to their lower backs. "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful." The man's sunglasses glinted in the light, reminding the girl of master Roshi. He gave a huge grin. "Now, let's get y'all situated. BERNARD!" The man clapped his hands as he yelled for his assistant.
The thin black man who was standing by the props rushed to his boss' side. "Yes Mr. Kinglsey?"
"Take these three and get them situated."
"Right away sir. Please follow me." He looked to the girls. The three followed him to the beach stairs, glancing back at their family and friends first with worried glances. "Hey you two! Put that beach ball back."
The girls looked back around and saw the chibis throwing the ball around, having fun, and the laughed.
"Goten! Trunks! Come here now!" Bulma yelled angrily and the chibis did as they were told. Videl and the others said nothing.
"Alright then. You two sit on the ends." Bernard gestured to Peresia and Yuki. "And you sit between them." He nodded to Akurei. Once they were all seated, Bernard went around to Peresia and Yuki, messing with their hair to get them in the right positions. "Each of you will wear a pair of sunglasses." He handed them a pair a slim black glasses. "You..." Looking at Peresia, "please put your glasses on top of your head and your left knee up. And you..." moving to Yuki, "Place your right knee up and your glasses over your eyes. And then if you would put your glasses over your eyes but down a bit so you can see your eyes, and cross your legs at the ankles." The girls did as they were told. "Perfect." He looked to Mr. Kinglsey, gave a thumb up and smiled.
Mr. Kingsley nodded and walked over to the camera standing beside the photographer. "Lights!" The lights represented the sun when they came on, bright as the sun itself. "Now, smile for the camera." The trio smiled and the camera flashed. "Great. Now, for the last one, I need you to stand up." The girls did as they were told and some people came behind them and took the chairs away.
"Face the wall to your right." They did as they were instructed. "And stand close together in a small triangle. Oh and Bernard, please take the sunglasses away from them." After the sunglasses were taken, the girls got in their triangle, making them look overlapped.
Bulma, Videl, the chibis and Gohan and Trunks watched, but none said anything. They just watched. Bulma's eyes twinkled, Videl looked excited, the chibis were staring wide eyed and the teen saiyans watched in awe as the girls listened to the instructions given to them, especially since they don't normally listen to anyone and the fact that they really don't want their pictures taken.
"Ok." Mr. Kingsley chirped. "This picture is gong to be a close up of you three running, but not really. Just place your arms by your side as if your were running and smile." Once again, the girls did as they were told, not enjoying one minute of it and thinking angry thoughts, which Gohan and M. Trunks heard. They were quite disturbed of what the girls were thinking (they wanted to kill the photographer and burn his camera and the only reason they were doing this was to make Bulma happy).
"Good. Now start the wind machine." On the photographer's orders, the woman behind a huge fan in front of the girls turned it on the lowest setting. Their hair blew slightly back in small waves like flowing water. They smiled once more and got their picture taken for the last time (from their thoughts, that would definitely come true). "Good job. You are free to go. We'll have your copies mailed to you next week. So while you three change, I'll get the info from the others."

Peresia, Yuki and Akurei had changed and met back with the others out in the mall. Chibi Trunks and Goten ha ran over to them, grabbing on to their hands, forming a line.
"Y'all were beautiful!" Goten chimed.
"Thank you."
"They wanted to make you guys models for the calendars for the next few years." C. Trunks added.
"Heck no!" Yuki interjected.
"No way. That was totally humiliating." Peresia added.
"And besides, next year I'm leaving for college and I'm NOT coming back for them to take pictures." Akurei crossed her arms and the twins nodded in agreement.
"It wasn't that bad was it?" Videl asked.
"Not really." Peresia answered. "But I still don't like it."
"Well...I must get going." Videl sighed. "I'll see you guys at school on Tuesday k?"
"Sure thing." Gohan smiled.
"Alright. Till then, see ya around." Videl walked off.
"We still have to get you guys some suits and you three still need dresses."
"And we must keep these around for future use." Gohan smirked and took the bag with the bathing suits from Akurei.
The girls rolled their eyes chimed "Whatever" in unison and walked in to the nearest store. Gohan and M. Trunks chuckled and the chibis and Bulma laughing as well.
Next Time: 'Zoo Tag' (The girls take the chibis to the zoo, but wind up having to chase them around cause they want to have 'fun'. In the meantime, Gohan and M. Trunks are inviting people to the party.)
Stay Tuned!
