The Dimension of Weirdness
Chapter 7. IntroductionsAbout an hour later when they are all full (this takes a long time because Goku was always hungry) they finally start to see the real problems of staying where they were.
"What will happen when night comes?" asks Augumon.
"Well, it will probably get dark and cold," says Gohan.
"My capsule was only built for one," says Tiara.
"Then we should travel in one direction and find somewhere to go," says Brock.
They all agree to travel north. "Someone should scout ahead," says Tai.
"I'll do it," says Goku. Goku rises off the ground and flies in the direction that the group was going to go.
"I didn't know he could fly," says Ash.
"Everyone who's a Saiyan can fly," says Gohan.
"Not everyone," says Vegeta.
"What do you mean?" Gohan asked him. Vegeta chose not to answer. Leanne looked down to the ground. Gohan looked at Leanne but before he could ask her something, Goku returned.
"What's it like?" asked Misty.
"Very rocky and dry," says Goku, "but there's a cave a couple of miles away."
"Let's go then," says Tai. Goku walks off in the direction he had flown before. Gohan picks up Tiara's space capsule and then everyone, except Vegeta, starts to follow him. Leanne turns back and raises her eyebrows in Vegeta's direction as if to say, are you coming? "Fine," says Vegeta. Vegeta also heads in the direction of the cave.
As they reach the cave, Tiara stops.
"What's wrong… umm… Sorry, I never got your name, but what's wrong?" asks Leanne.
"I think it's time we all introduced ourselves," interrupts Tai.
Goku points at Misty. "You're Pikachu, right?" he asks.
"Yeah," says Misty sarcastically. "And I wear pink pajamas to the shops."
Goku scratches his head. "Really?" he asks.
Vegeta butts in. "I really hate pink."
Everybody stares at Vegeta. "Thanks for sharing," says Tiara.
"Ok," says Goku. "Let's not get off the subject."
"I volunteer… that guy," says Leanne, her finger pointing at Brock, "To introduce himself first."
"Fine then," says Brock. "I'm Brock."
"I'm Ash," says Ash.
"We know," says everybody together at the same time.
"I'm Misty," says Misty.
"Pika, pika," says Pikachu.
"So that's Pika-pika, right?" checks Goku as he scratches his head.
Tiara looks at him. "You're awfully good at that aren't you," she comments.
"What?" says Goku.
"I thought so," says Tiara in mock admiration.
"Let's continue," says Gohan after a few seconds silence. "I'm Gohan," he continues.
"I'm Goku," says Goku happily.
Tiara turns to Leanne. "He's glad he remembered his name." Leanne quickly turns her laugh into a cough when Gohan gives her a stern look. Everyone looks expectantly at Vegeta. He doesn't say a word.
"He's Cranky Guy," says Ash. Everyone starts laughing.
"Stop it!" yells Vegeta. "Stop it, or I'll blast you all!" Everyone stops laughing immediately. A few seconds go by.
"His name's Vegeta," says Gohan.
"I'm Tai," says Tai. "And this…" he points to Augumon. "…Is Augumon."
"My name's Tiara," says Tiara.
"And who's that?" asks Goku.
"Leanne," says Vegeta.
"I see you had a nice old chat by the fluro pink tree then," says Goku, batting his eyelashes at Vegeta.
"Shut up, Kakarott!" frowns Vegeta angrily.
Tiara crosses her eyes, sticks her tongue out the corner of her mouth, scratches her head repeatedly and says in a dopey voice, "I'm Goku an' I got a film. If I only had a brain."
Gohan frowns. Goku looks down in his pocket. "Oh yeah," he says. "I have a little film here I'd like to show you all." Goku makes a beckoning signal with his finger as he goes over to Tiara's space capsule and slots the film in an outside compartment. The film shows not everyone in the cave, but of Goku as a kid running around his back garden in his underwear. Everyone, except Goku, Gohan and Vegeta starts laughing.
Leanne stops laughing, goes over to Tiara's capsule, and takes the film out. Tiara stops laughing too and asks Leanne, "What's that for?"
Leanne answers, "Blackmail for later." They both start to laugh again.
Gohan walks over, so that he is directly over the mouth of the cave and tells Tiara and Leanne not to insult his father. They ignore him and he starts to yell. Tiara and Leanne exchange looks. "Shut up Gohan," says Tiara.
"Yeah," says Leanne, and flicks him on the forehead. Gohan hurtles through the air and lands twenty feet inside the cave.
"Whoa," breathes Tai.
