"Not so fast!" Red whispers furiously to Doc and Ash as she nudges both of then in the ribs
"Why?" Doc looks at her, her mouth bulging with food. Red tilts her head to the door,
"Piccolo and Gohan are staring." Ash swallows the food that was keeping her from speaking
"Aaah forget them, Gohan's just looking at Red because he thinks she right for the pickings."
"WHAT!" The saiyan Prince looks ready to kill
"Just kidding Bejita, calm down."
Vegeta looks darkly at Gohan who looks away quickly.
"Why," He turns to face Ash
"Do you call me that?"
"It's your original name."
"My original name is Vegeta Prince of all Saiyans." Red looks nervous
Don't say anything stupid Ash
"The first time that I heard your name it was in Japanese so that's the one I take as the original." Red relaxes Ash didn't make a slip, now all she had to worry about was Piccolo and Gohan, they seemed much more quiet than one would usually see on TV and the only time they are that quiet is when an enemy is near.
"And I suppose the same goes for Kakarot." Ash nods she is about to turn back to her food
"So what is the Japanese versions of your names?" Ash chokes on her food but Red and Doc announce their names with special stances and proud voices
"Red Kasei!"
"Doc Han!" They both look at Ash who hadn't risen to complete the formation, she had simply just continued to sit and eat.
"ASH!" she looks up at Red tiredly
"Ash… Poison." Both Doc and Red fall over. Vegeta raises an eyebrow
"Your Japanese name."
"Don't have one."
"Yes she does its-" Ash quickly rises to silence Doc but while she is telling Doc off Red raises her hand
"It's Doku" Ash stops strangling Doc and lets her drop to the ground
"RED!" Ash looks darkly at Red who was smiling cheerfully whilst Vegeta was looking thoughtfully at Ash
"That sounds a lot like..."
"Nothing! It sounds like nothing!" Ash doesn't allow the Saiyan prince to announce his thoughts. But once again Reds hand is up
"I know! It sounds a lot like Goku!"
"Really?" Goku had heard everything and was now rubbing Ash's head
"Our names sound alike that's cool!"
Ash looks like she is about to explode she hits Goku's hand away cursing. Vegeta was smiling
This has potential, Ash hates Kakarot but her Japanese name sounds like his human name he looks slyly at Ash I wonder what the effects will be if I call her by that name. The sounds of the beginning of the tournament give Vegeta the perfect opportunity to try it out
"Doku!" Ash doesn't answer but Goku looks up
"Yeah?"
"Not you… DOKU, her." Ash realises what Vegeta is calling her and begins attacking him
"I just wanted to tell you that the tournament is about to start!"
"Liar! You just want to torture me with that name cause you think it's funny!"
"True, true." The saiyan prince laughs as he and Ash struggle against one another they throw each other back ward and just as they were going to attack again
"STOP IT!" Red held both Saiyans away from one another by the backs of their clothing
"You two just like two little kids, CUT IT OUT OR WE'LL GET CAUGHT!" As Ash, Vegeta and Red make their way to the arena Piccolo, Gohan, Goku and Doc are still…. busy.
All three Saiyans Doc, Goku and Gohan sit at a table plates mounting as they ate. Piccolo and #18, who had come in search of them, sat not far from them looking disgusted
"I'll never get used to this…"
"Don't they ever stop?"
On the last piece of meat a battle of true strength began Goku had one side in his hand and Doc, sitting opposite him, had the other
"MINE!"
"You've only started eating like this now, I've eaten like this all my life… MINE!"
Both Saiyan have their feet against the table as to get the last morsel of food away from the other when the three other Saiyans return to come and fetch them (Red and Ash stood either side of Vegeta, Red with her hands together and Ash with her arms folded) Vegeta in the lead, his usual pissed off look on his face.
"KAKAROT, HAN… MOVE… NOW!!!" Goku and Doc freeze and hide their hands behind their backs as they follow Vegeta. They continued the battle as Goku had the meat behind him now and Doc was trying to get it away from him. Ash and Red not far behind smiling and shaking their heads at the Saiyans before them.
"Vegeta sure looks comfortable with those guys." #18 spoke in her rather dead tone
"I have to leave, Marron needs to be placed out of harms way during the tournament." With that she left Piccolo and Gohan to their thoughts
"Piccolo…"
"What?"
"I know I haven't seen my dad for a long time and I may not remember exactly what he's like but doesn't he seem… distant?" The Namek has a sweatdrop on the side of his green face
You don't know the HALF of it kid… He looks carefully at Gohan who was staring at the door Goku and the others had left through.
"I'm not quite sure but you're right, he is different Vegeta too."
"Do you think those three girls they are with did…. something… to them?"
"Ladies and gentlemen the World Martial Arts Tournament is just about to begin! Contestants! Please take your places!"
Piccolo is spared from answering as he hears his name
"First up its Majunior Verses Shin!"
"Whoa we gotta go! Majunior was your undercover name right?" Piccolo nods and he and Gohan make their way to ring
