Chapter 6
After both of the movies had concluded, it was time ot hit the sack. The boys groaned as they lifted themselves from the girls' furniture and made their way to the door. Saying goodnight with hugs and kisses on the cheeks, the boys headed over to their room.
(In the girls' room...)
Plopping down on their beds after getting changed, washing faces, brushing teeth, and the works, the three friends curled up under the covers, ready to get some sleep. The night had been wonderful: romantic, fun, funny, and overall enjoyable. Bulma turned to her side as she saw ChiChi and 18 snuggled under the comforter and multiple blankets in the other bed. She tried making out who was still awake,staring at the moonlight that bounced off of their backs.
"Chi? 18? Ya'll Awake?"
No response.
"ChiChi? 18?", she called a little louder. With yet again no response, Bulma layed the rest of her down and turned over onto her right side, facing away from the others and the window as well.
"Huh?" 18 called suddenly as she awoke from her deep slumber. She glanced over to Bulma was now snoring like a lawn mower. Wide-eyed, 18 figured she had a stuffy nose from the air condition. Getting up, she walked over to turn it down, then spun around when the curiosity to examine Bulma overtook her. She was sure her friend had called her name. Leaning in closely, she could feel the steady, yet loud, breathing coming from the blue-haired girl. As she leant in closer trying to see if Bulmawas actuallyasleep, Bulma felt that "feeling" in her forehead's chakra sensing that someone was right there in front of her. Popping her eyes open suddenly, she came face to face with 18, who as well became in a state of surprise. Both girls yelped as they pulled back from one another and trying to silence each other, as to not wake Chichi.
"What were you doing, lil missy?" Bulma asked harshly in a whisper.
"Uh.. seeing if you were actually asleep... you snore really loud, you know that?"
Glaring at 18, Bulma rose into a sitting position on the side of the bed. "It sure was cold in here. It's warmer now... ahhh..." Bulma observed as she cuddled into the blankets wrapped in her lap.
"Yeah. I--"
"Hey! I got an idea!"
"Oh Kami... What is it now B?" 18 questioned in a exhausted tone.
"Let's spy on the boys!" 18 just stared in shock at her. 'How could she want to do something like that? They'd surely notice, and then they would get caught, and then the boys would get mad at them and then...' 18 stopped her mind from wandering.
Sighing, she gave in. "Should we wake sleepy-head over there?", she asked, pointing to ChiChi.
"Um..." Bulma really had to use her thinking skills on this one. In one case, Chi would get super angry with them and spit sharp remarks at them for waking her from her beauty sleep. On the otherhand...
"Ok!" They both trotted over to ChiChi, both clad in the itsy-bitsy baby doll nightgowns (Bulma's maroon and 18's a deep green), and gently tapped ChiChi on the shoulder. Just a twitch, but no success in waking the resting brunette. Trying once more, but with syncronized whispers of her name, ChiChi shot up in bed, startled like a deer in headlights.
"Wha--huh?" She glanced around and came face-to-face with two very dear, annoying, nosy, in-your-face friends of hers. Glaring at them both, she opened her mouth to scream at them, only to be repressed by Bulma's hand over her mouth and 18 holding her down. They eyed the onyx-haired girl mischeviously, as they pulled her from bed and led her to the suites doorway. Bulma grabbed the room card with her free hand and the silently made their way out into the carpeted hallway. Walking only a few meters down, the girls leaned on the door, listening for any sounds coming from the boys room. After about 5 minutes, they heard a toilet flushing, and one of the guys walking back to bed. Giggling like little children, they stopped short as they heard the footsteps halt. 'Uh oh!' Bulm thought to herself as she heard the footsteps heading towards the door. She signaled and the girls made a mad dash to hide behind anything they could find, due to the fact there was not enough time to get back into the room without being heard by their loud rustling. Bulma ducked inside of an elevator clearing, 18 threw herself behind a tall indoor plant, and ChiChi crouched on the steps of nearby stairs.
(Back in the guys' room...)
Goku approached the door and opened it swiftly in hopes of catching the lil' sneekers who made the giggles he heard outside of their door. Leaning his body out into the hallway, than stepping out as well, he glanced around, listening closely for little noises. The girls witnessed hislistening outfor small sounds and held their breath as he walked forward and leaned over their balcony. After once again checking the hall from outside their room, he stepped back inside.
"Who was that?" Krillin questioned non-chalantly. He was lounging on the sofa, watching the television.
"No one, I guess..."
"What do you mean, you 'guess'?" Vegeta questioned. He despised unsure answers. Let alone the fact they were watching a late night movie, which he found irritatingto be interrupted from. Goku shrugged as he made his way back to the bed. He pounced onto the bed, landing on his stomach, and shoved a handful of the buttery and salty popcorn, which lay in a bag nearby, into his huge mouth. Grunting, Vegeta got up and approached the door, nerved by not knowing who or what it was that had distracted Goku.
(Back to the girls...)
The girls had cautiously watched Goku walk backto his room and close the door behind him. About 10 second later, they found it safe to regather in the hall, hoping for a second chance of spying.
"They must be up. Goku says he's usually the first to go to bed, but he seemed wide-awake if you ask me," ChiChi stated. The others nodded in acknowledgement of that factor and tip-toed back over to the door, huddled together like children in a in an unknown territory. As Bulma layed her ear against the door, she heard creaking again, and started panicking with the others. These footsteps were lighter, so they hadn't noticed them before. They were close now. The girls rose to their feet from crouching positions and startedto turn away when the door flung open.
Vegeta stepped out into the hall, eyeing both direction in search of any passer-bys, wrong-doers, suspicious people, spying people... But he saw nothing. Narrowing his eyes, he turned around briefly and almost slammed the door when he closed it behind him.
The three girls were hiding behind a large statue of a Japanese-version of Venus. That was TOO close for their own good. This was too dangerous, too noticable, too...
"Hey! I have an idea!" 18 whispered excitedly. The other two girls glanced over to her confused, but expectedly. "Why don't we listen through our walls into their room?"
"Genius!" ChiChi cried quietly, only loud enough for the three of them to hear.
"Hey!" Bulma cried out in protest.
"Ugh... Yes, we know you're the brainiest of us. Chill out!"
Making their way back into their room quietly, they tip-toed over to their one of the extremely large beds and pressed their ears up to it. They heard a movie playing-- sounded like and action/romance-- and then heard some creaking... again. The footsteps went over to the wall that divided their rooms and stopped.
"Uh... do you think they hea--"
"We could hear you girls from a mile away." Oh no...
The girls jolted back in surprise as they heard some light snickering, chuckling and giggling-- the giggling coming form Goku.
"Ve--Vegeta?" Bulma stuttered.
"You littel women should be in bed right now, don't you think?" Vegeta replied mockingly.
"Hey! You don't call US little women, you little arrogant--"
"Bulma!" 18 said harshly as she smacked her friend's head.
"What are you guys watching?" ChiChi asked.
"None of your Kami forsaken business, you stupid female."
"Vegeta! Go to--"
"ChiChi..." 18 warned.
"Fine... whatever..." ChiChi slumped back onto the bed for a brief time like a little, tempered child.
"Oh Vegeta! Go to bed you grumpy oaf!"
"What did you call me, woman?"
"Goodnight!... And turn off that television! You guys need rest too."
With that, the girls settled back into bed, giggling lightly to one another. Right before Bulma's eyes closed and her ears ignored all sounds, she heard the television in the other room turn off.
Ah.. peace and quiet...
