Playboys of the Outer Rim
Chapter: 2
Food, Glorious Food!


Bullet free! Goten was overjoyed. After Gohan got over his starring contest with the T.V., he had finally removed the bullets while Goten was unconscious. Goten now had twenty-nine miss-shaped, and bloody keep sakes. Goten Son could honestly say he was a pretty good natured guy, but there was something that ircked him about being shot twenty-nine freaking times. He could understand her need to kill him; however, twenty-nine seemed like an over kill.

Marron Consia...that the name the T.V. people had given for her. Goten had been in the bounty hunting business long enough to know that most likely wasn't her name. It didn't much matter it was one of the names that would make Goten and his brother rich...or at least be able to pay off their debts, fix their ship, and maybe even have some good food for awhile.

Goten's attention was broken by a loud rumbling. It closely reminded him of the sound of that four story build he watched being torn down when he was little. Goten sighed after he realized his stomach was demanding food. He stiffly made his way to the kitchen. He opened the fridge...nothing...freezer...NOTHING...cabinets...crackers. Goten quickly tore into the package, he was instantly crest fallen. Were cracker capable of molding? This was one thing Goten would not eat. There wasn't any food! It was a Saiyans worst fear.

"Gohan!" Goten whined, even though he didn't do it often. But it was a matter of life and death for him. He hadn't eaten a proper meal in years. However he was over reacting as Saiyans often do where there is a shortage of food.

Gohan came in to see what the racket was about only to find Goten whimpering on the floor. He leaned on the wall and crossed his arms in annoyance listening to Goten ramble.

"No-food!-None-I'll-die-I'll-starve-to-death-oh-what-away-to-go!-Maybe-heaven-will-have-food?-Oh-that-makes-it-worse.-I'm-coming-Mom,-Dad,-and-Kat-if-your-there-too.-Sure-Gohan-almost-blow-up-the-ship-with-the-poison-he-tried-to-make-but-I-can-cook-I-just-want..."

"Enough! I can't take your pathetic whining any more!" Gohan growled.

Goten finally took a breath before pouting childishly. He couldn't help his hunger and he didn't understand why Gohan had to be so mean.

Goten sighed, "I'm sorry I'm just hungry that's all."

"Yeah I got that."

Gohan couldn't believe he was even related. The two of them were so different. They had both seen so many horrible things in thier lives, but Goten never really seemed to be affected. He was always the same goofy kid. They were both eighteen years old, but eleven months separated them. Gohan couldn't remember his father but he imagined Goten acted a lot like him from what he was told. He could remember when they where traveling with Krillin, and the stories he used to tell.

"But Gohan...starvation is the worst form of torture!" Goten was whining again as he sat up he was hungry enough to go back to the trash can and eat those green crackers...maybe if he pretended they were broccoli...

"Get up if your so hungry...we'll go to the market. Just hope they take credit or you'll starve until we catch those two wenches."

Goten's normal "I'm a happy fish" face quickly disappeared at even the mention of those two...the blonde one especially.

"So we are going after them?" Even before he received an answer, Goten did something out of character. He growled.


"So why don't you just tell me about Thing One and Thing Two. You obviously know something, and your not telling me. Spill." It was unusual for Videl to stoop as low as to whine like a school girl, but Marron was keeping something from her. Weren't they supposed to be partners?

"Sorry kid! Maybe when you're older," Marron smiled. She knew that Videl would be upset with this, but she didn't like talking about her past. It was complicated. It was the past. Was it so wrong to want to keep it that way?

Videl growled, but it wasn't in anger or anouyance.

"Bunny when was the last time you ate?" Marron smirked as steam began to pour from her partner's ears.

Videl's face quickly became red with anger. "I AM NOT A BUNNY! DO YOU SEE A LITTLE WHITE TAIL COMING OUT OF MY ASS?"

"Oh Viddily-dumpkins, calm down! It's not good to have a stick up your bum all of the time."

"Why you," Videl's eye twitched dangerously before she started on her rampage. Wildly she chased Marron about the ship.

Marron ran from the rather scary Videl. 'Well...here's my exercise for the day,' she thought.

"I'm sorry Viddy please forgive me!"

Videl pounced.


A group of male prisoners were lead through the crowded market streets. They were shackled together in the process of a prison transfer. Their mouths watered passing by all the foods they hadn't eaten in so long. Suddenly they broke into song.

"Is it worth the waiting for?
If we live 'til eighty four
All we ever get is gru...el!
Ev'ry day we say our prayer --
Will they change the bill of fare?
Still we get the same old gru...el!
There is not a cust, not a crumb can we find,
Can we beg, can we borrow, or cadge,
But there's nothing to stop us from getting a thrill
When we all close our eyes and imag...ine"

Goten was back to his normal self, drooling over all the food the market held, very glad with his choice not to eat the molding crackers. He was so overjoyed he joined in the song.

"Food, glorious food!
Hot sausage and mustard!
While I'm in the mood --
Cold jelly and custard!
Peas, pudding and saveloys"

Gohan was absolutely afraid for his brothers sanity. "What the hell Goten!"

Still the prisoners and Goten continued to sing.

"'What's next?' is the question.
Rich gentlemen have it, boys --
In-di-gestion!

Food, glorious food!
We're anxious to try it. Three banquets a day --
Our favourite diet!"

Gohan was in shock. "YOU HAVE TO BE SHITTING ME!"

Everyone on the street caught onto the cheery singing, except for the guards leading the prisoners, and Gohan. They even began to dance as if it was choreographed.

"Just picture a great big steak --
Fried, roasted or stewed.
Oh, food,
Wonderful food,
Marvellous food,
Glorious food.

Food, glorious food!
What is there more handsome?
Gulped, swallowed or chewed --
Still worth a kin's ransom."

"This is too weird for me," Gohan sighed and exited stage left.

"What is it we dream about?
What brings on a sigh?
Piled peaches and cream , about
Six feet high!

Food, glorious food!
Eat right through the menu.
Just loosen your belt
Two inches and then you
Work up a new appetite.
In this interlude --
Then food,
Once again, food
Fabulous food,
Glorious food.

Food, glorious food!
Don't care what it looks like --
Burned!
Underdone! Crude!
Don't care what the cook's like.
Just thinking of growing fat --
Our senses go reeling
One moment of knowing that
Full-up feeling!

Food, glorious food!
What wouldn't we give for
That extra bit more --
That's all that we live for
Why should we be fated to
Do nothing but brood
On food,
Magical food,
Wonderful food,
Marvellous food,
Fabulous food,"

Goten

"Beautiful food,"

All

"Glorious food."

Everyone posed, with Goten standing in the center.

One of the guards yelled, "Alright you scum! Enough fooling around! Get a move on it!"

The prisoners groaned and grumbled before moving again. Reality set in for everyone else, and they began to carry on with their day again.

Goten still planted in that spot slowly moved to rub the back of his head. He looked around for his brother. With out a clue as to where Gohan went, Goten shrugged and began to wander.


"The nerve of that girl!" Videl thought angrily as she carried a mass of groceries in her arms.

"Take these back to the ship, she says. I'll catch up later...but do I get an explanation? No, nothing...I'll kill her."

Videl was just ranting of course she could never really hurt Marron and it was in Marron's favor that Videl wasn't very experienced and she had morals. Which wasn't a word Marron was too familiar with. To add to Videl's bad mood she just walked into a wall. Muttering and cursing to herself quickly turning to pick up the fallen food.

"I actually paid for that," she sighed. It was just her luck.

"Sorry," a masculine voice half-heartedly muttered. He bent slightly down to offer her a hand in standing.

Videl only then realized she had run into a person. When she turned around, he couldn't see her face. Her thick black hair was blocking it from view. She didn't take his hand, but stood on her own. She pushed her hair out her way, quickly wrapping a rubber band in it creating a low ponytail. She then got a good look at the man in front of her, and joined in acting like a fish. They stared for a few minutes before either spoke. Neither managed much, but they spoke, or rather yelled, in unison.

"YOU!"

It wasn't a dull day, and that was for sure. Rather strange that they recognized each other right away with never having really met before. Gohan Son and Videl Satan had finally met, and all they seemed able to do was gape at one another.


Marron was fingering a wad of money she had recently stolen and now was in search of Videl. She had come across an alleyway where she heard a muffled scream. Her curiosity got the better of her and she peered in. The sight was a familiar one and young girl and her clothing torn with a big ugly brute taking advantage of the girls lack of experience. She was about to go on with her business when Mr. Goody, Goody himself showed and pulled the brute of the trembling girl. God she hated people like him, butting in on others problems. Though she most likely really couldn't have walked away herself. She would have gotten half way back and turned around.

"Are they looking for us?" Marron silently went back on her path to her ship. "Guess if he insists on getting in my way...well I'll just have some funny now won't I?" Marron smirked as she made her way back to the ship.


Goten couldn't understand why someone would rape someone. It sent shivers down his spine. The girl was so young and scared. He shrugged it off there wasn't anything more he could do. The man was in jail now, and he followed the girl til she was safely home. It was just his instinct to protect. It wasn't something he couldn't help.

He was wandering in a deserted alley now lost, and just hoping to find away back to the ship. The wind began to pick up and paper became plastered onto his face. Peeling it off he began to read it.

"Wanted Bounty Hunters. Willing to pay 1 million a piece. Contact the office of Hercule Satan for more details." He folder the paper up and put it in his pocket. Gohan wouldn't like the idea but they were in debt and needed money anyway they could get it. Hell! Goten would be willing to dress up as a pink clown and sing 'I'm a Little Tea Pot' if it meant he never had to see another green cracker.


LOL it took me long enough. Well sorry I wasn't inspired I had lost my best friend to an evil place called camp and was at a loss. Well now my Kawaii Marron 17 is back and I write once more. I've even stared to work on a solo story. sounds of shock and amazement Well it will be my first story on my account so when that's posted I'll let you all know. Now if I could only get Kawaii Marron 17 to write more...well I can dream can't I?

Catch Me If You Can


"Those stupid bitches wreaked our ship how could it possibly get worse?" Gohan yelled and their ship suddenly caught on fire.

Goten hit Gohan up side the head. "Don't you know the number one rule of shows and stories? As soon as some says 'How could it get worse?' IT DOES!"

Gohan groaned, his brother was right. That was worse news then the ship burning.
