Chapter 10: Getting to Know You

"Man you look tired Cathy," Goku states after Cathy yawns.

"Oh, it's no big deal," Cathy says humbly.

"Cathy…" Jessie warns her friend, " don't bottle up you feelings."

"Okay, fine. Yes I'm very sleepy and would like a place to rest," Cathy mumbles with false enthusiasm.

Goku perks up.(not that way) "I know. You can stay at my house. Uh… If Chi Chi doesn't mind."

"No thanks. I-I don't mean to intrude," Cathy submits.

"I'll take the offer," Jessie says.

Goku and Jessie look at Chi Chi. It would be nice to have more women around the house," she says.

"Yahooooo!" Goku yells while jumping in the air. "I'm really excited!"

"I can tell," Piccolo states flatly.

"Oh, boy. I hope you know some fighting techniques 'cause I want to learn them. I especially can't wait to spar with you guys."

Goku brings everyone home, rushes into his living room and places some pillows and blankets on the couch with extreme speed. Sweat drops form behind the girls' heads as they watch him move around excitedly.

"Here, Cathy, it's a temporary bed for you. Chi Chi's gonna fix the guest room for you two. Hurry up and get some sleep. I really wanna talk to you. Come on, Jessie, let's go back outside."

"Okay,…thanks," Cathy says, still embarrassed. She lies down on the sofa and falls asleep.

"Darn him. He outsmarted me. How can I, Prince of all Saiyans, be not only beaten physically but mentally by a third class warrior?" Vegeta growls to himself while pacing in the hall of Capsule Corp. "Those females ARE dangerous, and I am going to prove it once and for all. Muha ha ha ha …" he breaks into an evil laughter. "Not only will everyone hate them, but they will hate Kakarot for bringing them here!"

"…and then we rode King Cold's ship the rest of the way," Jessie concluded her story to Goku.

"Wow! Tiny Furballs, huh? Were they cute like puppies?"

"The one that attacked me wasn't," Jessie answers, a little embarrassed.

Goku chuckles. "So do you know how to fight?"

"Yeah. Of course. You wanted to spar didn't you?"

"Mmm…hmmm," Goku nods his head. "But first I need to ask you some more questions."

"Uh…Okay," Jessie waits for the interrogation.

"How come Cathy's so tired and you're so full of energy?"

"Well when we were riding King Cold's ship, Cathy stood watch and let me sleep the whole time. She said I did a lot of work and deserved it, but if you ask me, I'd say we did the same amount."

"So she's generous?"

"Yeah, I guess you can say that."

"Okay here's a tough question. How did Frieza use you as weapons is you knew what you were doing?"

"Hmmm…Well, Frieza used our weaknesses against us."

"You have a weakness?"

"Yep, but I'd rather not tell you at this moment."

"I understand."

"What I can tell is if our weakness is used against us, we black out and do insane and dangerous stuff."

Goku looks surprised. "I hope I don't accidentally use your weakness against you or Cathy."

"Don't worry, I'm sure you won't," Jessie says with a content smile.

Cathy awakens with a forceful yawn. She looks around. It's clean, neat, and quiet. She stands up and fixes the pillows and blankets to the best of her ability. She walks around the house. In the kitchen, she sees Chi Chi.

"Hi, Ms. Chi Chi," she greets. Chi Chi turns away from her cooking.

"Oh, hello, Cathy. If you're looking for Jessie, she went outside with Goku. I fixed up the guest room for you two. It's upstairs, just across from Gohan's room."

"Thank you. Do you mind if I take a look around?"

"Sure, knock yourself out." Chi Chi returns to her task.

Cathy walks out of the kitchen and up the stairs. She looks to her right and finds Gohan in his room by his window, studying. To her left is what's obviously the guest room. She opens the door to take a peek. There are two separate beds, the window's curtains are open to bring in a brilliant light.

"Neat!" she exclaims and closes the door.

"Huh?" Gohan says blinking his eyes.

"Oh sorry for disturbing you. I was just complementing you mom's job on the guest room." Cathy apologizes.

"No, that's okay. I'm not really studying. I'm actually having some trouble with one of the questions. Vegeta said something to my dad about you and Jessie being 'dangerously intelligent'."

"Oh…yeah," Cathy says, hand behind her head.

"Can you help me?" Gohan asks.

"I'll see what I can do," Cathy answers.

"Let me see," Vegeta begins to make a plan. "First I need to separate the two. Cathy needs Jessie to talk to in order to release her feelings. If I take Jessie away from her, she'll be a ticking time bomb. Then, I'll spike one of Jessie's drinks with sugar. She'll go crazy, and Cathy'll think it's her fault. That will give her bottle up feelings a great boost. She'll be causing destruction in no time. Muha ha ha ha…," his evil laughter recommences.

"Vegeta, lunch time!" Bulma calls.

"I'll be down in a minute!" Vegeta snaps at her.

"Thank you very much Cathy. I understand it now," Gohan states showing great gratitude.

"No problem. I just had to read the book that's all."

Gohan continues his studies as Cathy returns to the kitchen. "Ms. Chi Chi, do you mind if I help?"

"Sure, I'm putting the finishing touches on the food. Why don't you set the table?"

"Okay." Cathy searches and finds plates, glasses, bowls, and silverware. She carries everything at once, some in her hands and some by telekinesis. Chi Chi brings the food to the table and everything is set.

"Goku, Gohan, Jessie! Lunch is ready."

"Alright!" Goku yells. However, Gohan is the first to the table, then Jessie, then Goku. The five enjoy a delicious meal.

"Hey, Cathy," Jessie starts, "Goku and I were talking about you."

Goku speaks up, "Actually we were talking about the both of you."

"But mostly you, Cathy," Jessie intervenes.

"Did you sleep well?" Goku asks.

"Mm hmmm" Cathy answers. "I also helped Gohan with his studies, so I got to read an Earth book."

Jessie gets excited, "I want to read it!" She leaves the table, finds the book, touches it, and returns to the table.

"Is there a library around here?" Cathy asks a second time.

"Yeah…I forgot you asked earlier. Vegeta interrupted us," Goku says while stuffing his face.

"Goku, why don't you take them to the different cities? I'm sure each one has a library," Chi Chi commands

"Sure thing, just let me finish eating first."

The next three chapters are full of different types of humor. It's hard for me to make people laugh so if you think any part of if was funny please review. I want to know if I'm making any progress in comedy.
