To all of my readers and reviewers: I FEEL LOVED! (hugs everyone) Muahahah! Onto the next chapter!
Last time... on "A Weekend Out":
"Would you calm down!"
"Sorry! I just can't believe we're gonna see them again! I've thought about that man everyday for the past--"
(the door opens)
"HEY GUYS!"
"Hey girls! We're ready to rock and roll and get on the road!" Goku replied ecstatically. The guys stood in ChiChi's doorway, all dressed and ready to go.
"Yeah! Hey 18... You look..." Krillin said as he eyed her hiking outfit: regular fit capris, a tank top, hiking boots and socks, her hair pulled under a bandanna; even with not being made up, she still looked stunning to him. He bashfully turned his head the other way, as she smiled at him, knowing what he meant.
"Thank you!" And she gave him a peck on the cheek. Krillin's eyes popped open as he fell backwards in surprise.
"Hey Veggie-chan!"
"Onna.. don't call me that!"
Bulma laughed lightly as she frowned some on the inside. Why did he always have to be rude when exchanging hellos?
The girl's picked up their luggage as they all followed Goku back to his truck. Throwing their baggage into the bed, the three guys strapped all of it down, while the girls made their way over to 18's small, off-the-road SUV.
'She drives an SUV?' Krillin thought to himself. Thinking it over again, he realized that she did sort of seem a little tougher than most girls. He found it sexy! XD
And off they go!
(1/2 hour later...)
The guys have some rock music playing as Goku's truck climbs the cliffs of the mountains, following right behind 18.
"Guys... did ChiChi say exactly where her aunt's lakehouse was located?" Krillin piped in.
Come to think of it, she hadn't! All of the guys suddenly grew a little anxious, which then turned to excitement as they realized they were going on a REAL adventure, but to where?
"Uh... I'll call the grouch of the group. I'm sure she would know," Vegeta insisted.
Picking up his cell, he dialed Bulma's number. The consistent ringing started getting on his nerves...
(In 18's SUV...)
The girls were laughing and having a good time listening to Sheryl Crow and Alanis Morissette. It turns out they've also been talking about the guys quite sometime too.
"No seriously! His bald head is so cute! It fun to rub your hand over it! Like in that Bugs Bunny cartoon with Elmer Fudd--"
"Oh my gosh, 18! You know... you've fallen head over heals for that dotted shrimp, haven't you?"
18 blushed and finally admitted, while keeping her eyes on the road and all around her, "Well... yeah. I can't help it. He's different from everyone else! He's sweet, kinda, cute, and--"
"And short!"
"Leave him alone! If I wasn't driving this vehicle right now, I'd--"
Bulma's cell phone ringing interrupted 18's comment.
"I'm always interrupted," she mumbled to herself.
"Hello?" Bulma asked to who was on the other end.
"Woman? I need--"
"Veggie-Chan!" Bulma squealed quite loud. The girls looked over to her and then at each other out of shock. HE was calling HER?
"Woman! I told you not to call me that!" He could hear giggling from the otherson the other end of the line. His buddies were struggling to keep their laughing under control, as Vegeta' face began to grow more and more red.
"Aw, calm down, Mr. Grumpy Troll! Now, what is it you would like to ask?"
"WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING? That is what I'd like to ask."
"Itai! ...Why, her aunt's lakehouse is situated near Mt. Fuji! Sorry we forgot to mention that," Bulma responded, rubbing her ears after the loudness she just experienced.
"Alright. That's all. Ja ne."
Bulma stared at her phone as he hung up on her. "He hung up on me!" Putting her cell away, she and the girls continued gossiping and listening to music as 18 continued driving.
(Back in the blue truck...)
"So... where are we going, Vegeta?"
"The lakehouse is right near Mt. Fuji. At least that's what I was told."
"You gotta be kidding me!"
"Iie..."
"Whoa ho! This is gonna be awesome! We can jet ski, play volleyball, cook around a bon fire, go hik--"
"KRILLIN!"
"Ah gah!" He fell off his seat!. "Sheesh.. gomen..."
(Some time passes in silence)
"So... Vegeta?"
"Nani desu ka?"
"You like Bulma?"
Vegeta just glared at Goku as Goku kept his eyes on the road, darting back to see Vegeta every now and then. He smirked to himself. Heehee!
"Well, do ya?"
"No."
"Sure ya do!"
"No, I don't."
"I bet if we showed you a photo of her right now, you'd get a little haywire, eh?"
"You're really starting to irritate me, Kakarott."
"Show him the photo, Krillin!"
"WHAT?" Vegeta started freaking out as Krillin shook as he nervously pulled out his cell phone. He flipped it open, went to "Graphics"... then went to "My Album"...
"HEY!" Vegeta had snatched the phone from the bald one and threw it in the trunk. "Whatcha do that for?"
"I don't want to see that photo!"
"And why is that?" Goku questioned innocently.
'Ah! He's doing it again! He's prying into my thoughts!' Vegeta thought to himself frantically.
"You like her."
"No, I don't!"
"Well, you must love her mother's brother's niece then, eh?"
A little shooken up after almost being exposed and humiliated, and not thinking clearly, Vegeta replied with a "Sure. I could never like that woman, though."
"Alright then, Vegeta! Now we have to get you to tell her as well how you feel!"
"She already knows, baka-yarou."
"She does? And you never told us about it?" Krillin asked, astonished, but laughing on the inside.
"What the hell are you two talking about! Of course she knows! Isn't it obvious?"
"Apparently so," Goku replied, grinning to himself. Krillin started cracking up and turned to look out the window, avoiding Vegeta's glare.
Confused as he was, Vegeta just slumped back into his seat, trying to figure out what they were getting at. Then it hit him!
'Oh crap!' he thought to himself.
His secret was out!
As the group of friends continuedto drive on, the sun outside was setting. The sky filled with strokes of pinks, oranges, purples, and blues. A flock of birds flew off into the distance, overtop of the hills,catching the gaze of a few of the passengers. Awhile later, the sky had turned completely midnight blue, and the stars came twinkling out of their hiding spaces in the galaxy. Still, a long drive was layed ahead of them. They should reach the lakehouse by early morning, all the while they would switch off drivers. What few street lamps there were reflected off of the trucks as they continued driving into the night.
What is to come for the weekend? You'll just have to wait and find out!
Thanks EVERYONE for reading, yet again. XD Please review and send me suggestions. I have an idea of how I want their weekend to go, but I still want suggestions!
Night everyone!
