Hi! I don't think I have anything to say this time around......So, I guess,
enjoy.
Chapter 6: Stupid is as stupid does......
Gohan and Vegeta could not hold back the chuckles that managed to slip out of their mouths.
Gohan crumpled up the paper in his hand and could feel the corners of his mouth turning upward . He closed his lips together tightly trying to hold back the laughter that he knew would escape past his lips were he to open them.
'Don't laugh Gohan, don't laugh!' He mentally scolded himself. 'This is a serious situation. It's, no time, to be...' But that, of course, was a battle that he was in no way going to win.
He burst out laughing and slowly slumped to the ground, giving into the abdomen spasm. Vegeta did the same, only he was already seated on the ground, so instead, he just sat in the same spot laughing while holding a rock and thumping it again and again against some rubble. (You know how when you laugh enough. That some people just kind-a instinctively pound their fists against something. I do that, only with pens and pencils and cups.)
"In all my days, I don't think that I've never heard anything so ridicules." Vegeta said in between his laughter.
Gohan was trying desperately to catch his breath from laughing so hard, but still managed to give him a reply.
"Ha, Your Mom!" Gohan wheezed a bit after saying this and with in a couple of seconds stopped laughing completely, knowing that he'd die if he had kept it up too much longer. Vegeta too stopped but was not short of breath. They were both pink in the face and still smiling when they slowly turned their heads towards one another.
They stared at each other for a few seconds before quickly opening the sticky note again. They both read it, again, and through back their heads in laughter......again......Then Gohan looked at it......again......
"Have you ever noticed," Gohan questioned. "How, like, we're all named after Vegetables, and other foods?"
Vegeta looked at Gohan and cocked an eye brow. 'What the hell are you talking about?' Vegeta thought as he grunted.
"What do you mean Brat?" He asked in a low intimidating voice, without a hint of his current laughter.
"I'm not named after any food groups! I have the honorable and traditional name of my family, since the dawn of my ancestor's empire! I AM NO VEGETABLE!"
Gohan smiled amusingly at Vegeta.
"cough No," Gohan said surprised and amused that Vegeta didn't, know.
"When you think about it, I mean; Raditz-Radish, Kakarot-Carrot, my name in Japanese means Rice. And it's right in your name, "Vegeta"......Vegeta, vegetable, Vegeta, "vegeta", able......
Vegeta stared at Gohan with a gaping mouth, realizing the truth, that the word "vegetable," was right in his name!
Gohan took Vegeta's look as one of confusion.
"......Here, let me spell it out for you, V. E......" He only managed to get to the letter E before he was interrupted by Vegeta.
"I KNOW THE DAMN WORD'S IN MY NAME!" He yelled.
Gohan flinched at Vegeta's out burst and scooted backwards a bit, for his ere drums sake.
"You've made that very clear......" Vegeta said in a more calm, but still annoyed voice.
Gohan gaped at Vegeta with an astonished look upon his face before he decided to speak his mind about what he thought of his "little out burst". Still seated amongst the rubble, Gohan put his hands on his hips and scrunched his lips together.
"Well, gees Vegeta, you didn't have to be so rude about it!" He stuck up his nose and turned his back to Vegeta.
Vegeta rolled his eyes.
"Cut it out Brat, we've got work to do." He stood up and grabbed the sticky note from Gohan.
Gohan whirled around to face Vegeta.
"Mha, "me" stop it? What do you mean "me"? I was just giving you the facts when you totally flipped out! It's not my fault you're named after a Vegetable! You should learn to control your temper!" Gohan huffed.
"Yeah, I can say the same thing for you kid..." Vegeta told Gohan.
"You want to find and save your Mom and unborn sibling right? So stop acting so childish and let's go find the pregnant pain in the neck!"
Vegeta's words hit the pre teen like a couple hundred thousand blocks of led.
'He's right Gohan......' His inner monolog told him. 'As much as I hate to admit it, Vegeta's right. You're acting like a 3 year old who isn't getting their way. And bickering with Vegeta over the stupidest things......I have to find mom!'
Gohan bowed his head in defeat, but only for a moment before his hormones decided to change his attitude for him.
"Alright Vegeta, you win......" He sounded and looked like a three year old with his bottom lip jutting out and his hands and arms crossed over his chest.
Vegeta only smiled that trade mark smile of his.
"That's more like it." He reopened the sticky note while Gohan unwillingly stood up and slowly walked toward him.
Vegeta looked at the words written on the note and grumbled curses to himself.
"Ahh, I hate you're language." Vegeta said sounding severely pissed.
"Here," He through the note to Gohan and ordered him to read it again. Gohan looked at him confused.
"Why? Why do you want me to read it again? You already read it once. And I read it several times." Gohan stated.
"No!" Vegeta yelled.
"Read it, out, LOUD!"
Gohan continued to stare at him in total confusion.
"......But, why?" He asked in some what of a protest.
Vegeta was getting extremely frustrated with the boys constant questioning, but amazingly remained, some what, with in calm boundaries.
"Ahh," He groaned.
"Why do you think Brat!? This isn't my first language you know! And just because I can speak it, doesn't mean I can read or write it easily!" He took in deep breaths to keep himself from exploding due to anger build up.
Gohan brightened up and wore a really dorky smile.
"Oh, You should have just told me. Ha ha, Vegeta can't read......" Gohan said in a happy tone, but then confusion once again struck him.
"But, then, why were you laughing before? You said you couldn't read it that easily."
Vegeta tensed up.
"Oh my God, Kid, you're gonna be the death of me." He said while rubbing his temples.
"I said that it wasn't "easy" for me to read it. That doesn't mean that I wasn't able to read some of it. I was able to read the name, and that was pretty much it."
Gohan was beginning to feel rather stupid and shifted his eyes from Vegeta to the ground.
"Oh. Yeah, I knew that......Anyway, I'll read it now." He uncrumpled the little piece of paper while Vegeta sat on a nicely sized boulder of rubble.
Gohan began to read.
Dear Earthlings, or should I say, Saiyans,
I come from an alien race called, the Tella Tuboes. Our Planet is located many light years from your planet, Earth. We are an extremely powerful race and own many slaves. But our slaves numbers are dwindling, due to a fight being held on our planet right now.
I am our leaders right hand man, and it is my duty to see that his obligations are thoroughly followed through. As I said before, our slaves are becoming fewer and fewer, we have already lost more then half of our slaves and can not afford to loose anymore.
I/we are willing to make a bargain with you. We know very well that you are not the rulers of this planet or its people, but we do know that you are the strongest, not human and can force these pitiful creatures to do what ever you wish for them to do. Even forcing them off their planet is and should be an easy task for you, correct. The bargain is that we will give you many jaclucas, give you some of our advanced technology, and even give you a fair amount of our slaves for your whole entire earth population of humans. We need the humans to be our new slaves. We have been studying this planet and its inhabitants bodies for some time now and have come to the conclusion that these humans are stronger then our current slaves. And if you wish, we will even give you our entire remaining population of slaves, but only if you promises to give us every last Earthling. This is open for discussion, but only until "your" midnight tomorrow. After that point, I and my troops will start rounding up the humans and taking them back to our planet. You will no longer have a say in the matter, not that you already do.
And let me warn you, we will not go easy on these humans, so if you at all care for them feel free to fight against us. Though you may be one of the strongest races in the galaxy, that does not mean that you are the strongest. If you protest against this, we will retaliate and take them by force and give you nothing in returned as offered. We will show no mercy and treat them cruelly. Either way we will have them, so, I suggest that if you want them treated with some degree of respect that you willing give them over to us and I will personally see to it that a law will be made of respecting these......Earthlings.
You are probably wondering why I have kidnapped one of the female inhabitants who also happens to be the mother of one of you, right. Well, allow me to explain; We are holding her as hostage to ensure that you will come. Also, this is a bit of information that you probably want to know, If you don't come before midnight and/or if you don't agree, she will be the first one to spill blood. Do you understand?......Good......To find me, us, follow the rising sun. That is all the information that you need in order to find me. Why, well, you'll see......
Remember, Midnight tomorrow.
Right hand man and general of the Tella Tuboes,
Tamata
Gohan had finished reading the letter and looked up to see Vegeta sitting in the same position with a gaping mouth.
Gohan smiled.
"Well?" He said.
"......How the hell did he fit all of that onto one sticky note? And what in the gods names is a jacluclyusgus......" Vegeta demanded and had a little trouble with the last word.
Gohan looked down at the small 5 by 5 piece of paper in his hand.
" I have no idea." He said looking back up at Vegeta.
Vegeta grunted and stood up.
"Well, no matter how amusing I find his name and think that he is being naive and a complete and total idiot for thinking that......oh, just the whole lot of it, but I think that we should develop a plan of some kind and go to him and talk as if we agree to give him what he wants." Vegeta had a hand on his chin in a thoughtful position while the other was supporting his elbow.
"Well, duh Vegeta. But how?! I mean......" Gohan was interrupted by a scheming Vegeta.
"Shut up Brat! I'm trying to think." Vegeta scowled.
"That's something new." Gohan said sarcastically.
"What was that!?" Vegeta yelled the question.
"Your Mom!" Gohan shot back.
"Oh, I've just about had enough of that to......" Vegeta replied.
"Oh, shove it up your Mom's ass!" Gohan said with pride.
Vegeta looked astonished.
"Shove it up my Mom's-OHHH! That's it, you know what?"
"Chicken butt!" Gohan put the words in Vegeta's mouth and laughed.
"That's not what I was going to-AHHH! I'VE HADE IT! You want my help?" Vegeta yelled.
"Uhhh, no, not really." Gohan said with a grimace.
"Well, guess what kid, you're gonna get it whether you like it or not. And believe me, helping you is the last thing that I want to be doing, I have more important things that I could be in the middle of right now! Like getting my special surprise from Bulma! But nooooo, she made me come here, and now I have to help my rivals offspring defeat a stupid alien race by midnight tomorrow, otherwise I'LL NEVER FIND OUT WHAT MY STUPID SURRPRIZE IS!"
Vegeta said all of this without one single breath and almost passed out after yelling it all at the top of his lungs.
Gohan was looking at Vegeta like how a kid looks at a plate of Vegetables......(heehee )
"Dude, calm down Vegeta, I was just having a little fun." Gohan told the panting man.
"Just stay away from me for a while. We'll leave as soon as I eat something." Vegeta was practically shaking.
"Oookayyy......" Gohan said.
"I could use a bit too so, I hope the fridge isn't totally destroyed." He started for the fridge and was happy to find that it was still somewhat intacked. But he stopped in front of the fridge remembering that that creep had his Mom.
"No!" Gohan said stopping abruptly.
"We have to find my Mom first."
"What?!" Vegeta protested.
Gohan shot him a glare before making an energy ball in his hand, pointing it at the fridge and obliterating it. He was not playing games, when it came to the safty of his family and loved ones, they always came first.
"Damn you." Vegeta said under his breath.
"What was that?" Gohan asked, even though he new what he had said.
"Forget it!" Vegeta yelled and spun around.
Gohan let out a sigh.
"Well," Vegeta said.
"Let's go find your mom and "save the world." He said a little sarcastically.
Gohan smiled and ran past Vegeta purposely bumping into him.
"Now you're talking." Gohan took to the sky and looked back down at Vegeta.
"Well, are you coming?" He asked.
Vegeta looked up at Gohan and smiled that trade mark smile of his.
"Of course I am Brat! I wouldn't miss the chance to kick some alien species butt! It'll be just like old times!" He yelled up to the 11, technically 12, year old boy before taking to the sky and both of them flying off in the direction of the rising sun.
