Ch.19: Slab Race & Girl Trouble
The table didn't take long to decorate. They placed a beautiful, red, silk cloth on it that flowed down in ripples to the ground. But since the cloth was too valuable, Bulma covered it with a thin, clear plastic covering, which was quite unnoticeable.
There was a huge, crystal punch bowl to the side with a matching ladle and glasses surrounding it. But, of course, there was no punch in it yet.
"Let's do the streamers next. I have red, white and pink." Bulma pulled out the rolls of colored paper and placed them on the table. "This is the food tent of course, where people can come and socialize while they enjoy the refreshments. We're going to set up a few chairs out to the sides and after that, we'll start on the dance floor."
No one asked about the dance floor. The trio of saiyans decided to wait till the time came to worry over it.
Peresia, Yuki and Akurei knew it would take a little longer to set up since they couldn't fly or use their abilities with Videl around.
Videl and Peresia both grabbed a roll of red ribbon, Akurei took the pink ribbon, and Yuki snatched up the white. The started intertwining the streamers around the posts of the canopy and on the ceiling part around the edges, using chairs to stand on. The combined some of the colors and mingled them everywhere till there was no longer any streamers.
"Wonderful. Everything's finished here, except the balloons and sparkle dust, but we'll worry about those later. Videl, you can come and help me in the kitchen so I can get to know you better." Bulma gave her a warm smile Videl couldn't help but return. "And you three can work on the dance floor. Get Vegeta to help you out."
"With what?" Yuki knew they had no use for Vegeta, nor did she want him around.
"There are white marble slabs in the back." Bulma ignored Yuki. "Be careful." Mrs. Briefs led Videl off to Capsule Corps to prepare the food, leaving the trio standing underneath the big top.
"I'm glad she took Videl."
"Yeah." Yuki agreed with her sister. "We get done a lot quicker without her around."
"And my father has to help." Akurei and the twins loved messing with Vegeta. It was one of the joys they found in life, so they made their way to the GR behind CC.
The pounding and blasts inside came to an abrupt halt when they knocked on the chamber door. The patting of footsteps rang clearly as Vegeta made his way to the hatch.
The chamber flung open, revealing a very angry Vegeta drenched in sweat scowling at them.
What do you three want?" He looked at them sourly. "Can't you see I'm training?"
"Come on Vegeta. You have to help us with the dance floor."
"And what gave you the idea that I would?" Vegeta smirked at Yuki.
"Bulma said that you would."
"That woman isn't the boss of me."
"She is if you want to use the GR." Yuki stated with a smirk of her own.
"And besides," Peresia added. "You'll get a workout lifting the marble slabs."
Vegeta rolled his eyes and levitated down the ramp. "Fine. Let's get this over with."
The girls followed Vegeta, smiling/giggling, as they headed over to the large pile of gray and white marble slabs. The girls each grabbed a pile of blocks and headed over to the empty lot. One by one they placed the squares side by side as close as they could get them.
Vegeta became easily and quickly bored and decided to make his time worthwhile. He smiled with pleasure as he watched the girls, picked up a block and chucked it at the girls as hard as he could.
"Gohan, a little help here."
"Sorry Trunks. I've got my own problems." Gohan and Trunks were being backed up against the side of the school wall. The bell had rang, dismissing the students, but all the girls who weren't taken, which was a crap load, were cornering the two most popular guys in school. They all were asking them to go to the dance tonight with them.
"But we already have girlfriends." Gohan pushed himself against the wall, a look of worry on both his and Trunks' face.
"Why does this kind of stuff happen to us?" Trunks and Gohan were cornered against the wall, side by side.
"Go with me. We'll have a lot of fun." Some redhead smiled at Gohan.
"NO!" A brunette in pigtails yelled. "He's going with me."
"As long as I get Trunks." A curly brunette clasped her hands together with a large grin.
Gohan and Trunks were very uncomfortable, and they wanted so badly to fly off.
The girls now had them completely cornered, ad when they tried to make a run for it, more girls came out of nowhere, blocking their escape.
"Forget the rules." Gohan spoke nervously, looking at Trunks.
"I'm getting out of here." The two had prepped themselves to take off, but a familiar voice yelled from the midst of crowd.
"GO AWAY you freakin imbeciles!"
"They're already taken! Geeze."
"Move! Don't make me hurt you!"
Another familiar voice rang out and two girls shoved their way in front of the trapped guys, but a not so familiar face were behind them.
"Maxine. Nami." Trunks and Gohan sighed in relief.
"We're so glad to see you."
"Who's this?" Trunks looked to the brown spiky haired teen with orange tips and blue eyes.
"This is Ashaitaki." Maxine smiled. "My boyfriend."
Ashaitaki didn't look very happy as he glared around at the crowd.
"Hey look over there!" He suddenly yelled out pointing to the other side of the street. "Wasn't that just Hercule I saw?"
"Hercule?" All the girls turned around with huge smiles and began to run down the street.
"Come on." Maxine's boyfriend grabbed Gohan and Trunks' hands, tanking them in the opposite direction as he ran, followed by Nami and Maxine.
"Thanks a lot for the help." Gohan nodded to they three from inside a vacant ally.
"Your welcome." He nodded back.
"I'm Trunks and this is Gohan." Ashaitaki shook both of their hands.
"The girls used to do that to me. I know how it feels."
"Only in your dreams." Maxine joked and they laughed.
"We best be going." Nami smiled.
"Yeah. We'll see you three at the ball tonight." Trunks and Gohan waved goodbye to the others and flew of into the air when they were out of view, headed for Capsule Corpse.
"What the heck was that for!?" Akurei shouted at her father just as she, Peresia and Yuki frantically flew up to grab the slabs of hard rock coming towards them.
"I might as well have some fun if I'm forced to do this pathetic job." Vegeta smirked and threw more slabs at the trio. The girls flew around catching the marble squares and placing them down in a large square on the ground. Bulma would kill them if anything ruined her Ball, especially if the dance floor was in pieces.
Next Time: 'Vegeta's Slip Up' (Now Vegeta's gone and done it. Videl now knows the secret and Gohan is forced to explain, and the trio fly off in raging anger towards Vegeta.)
