Chapter 3-Veggie's break down!
Like always, I don't own DBZ. Nala is property of Bluenala. Kira Sakuya is property of Kaori Yuki and Nishune Konamari's moi...So I guess I'm property of myself...hehehe.
Monday 8:30 a.m. There I was sitting at my desk in Onigoro College (I'm 16, but I'm pretty smart for my age. College was mom's idea.). Our teacher was supposed to have arrived five minutes ago, but he was no where in sight. Thank Kami!
For once, I didn't want to think about school. The thought about what I was gonna do now with Goku was still on my mind. How could I use a persocon that didn't have an operative sistem and who couldn't even talk? But I just couldn't throw him out. Every single time I thought about him, I'd remember his puppy dog eyes. I couldn't forget him. I just couldn't.
Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw my best friend Nala standing by my side. Nala's 18 and we've known each other for a long time. Practically all our lives. She had long brown hair that fell to her waist and her bangs were dyed yellow. Her blue eyes were sparkling, like always. She was always a very cheerful type of girl.
"Hey there!" she said. "What's up with you today? You look like you've been up all night."
"Girl, don't start. I feel like my life's over already..."
"Really? What's up?"
I managed to sit up just a bit and looked Nala in the eye with a look that clearly said "I hate myself and the world".
"Oh, not much. I was just floating on a cloud aand then suddenly I hit the ground and found out what that shit are parents call 'the REAL world's about'.
Nala looked confused,"What are you saying?"
Our homeroom door suddenly opened and our teacher: Kira Sakuya walked into the room. Man, is he H-O-T! He's only 23 and he started a year ago, but he's known as one of the best in the whole college. He really understands most of the students here and he's become very popular, specially with the girls. He actually looked young enough to be mistaken for another pupil. His long black hair was tied back in a ponytail and he wore a biker jacket over his uniforme.
"Everyone please take your seats. We're about to begin.", he said while taking of his biker jacket.
"Oh, Sakuya's looking in a good mood today", I said to myself.
He turned to face all of us,"Have you all done the homework I wrote down the other day on the blackboard?"
"That REALLY wasn't homework, right?", asked Lee-Chin, a chinese girl with long black pigtails and a wad of chewing gum in her mouth,"we're supposed to be in college, not in primary or secondary school."
He smiled at all of us,"I know, but my dream's always been to be a primary school teacher."
"Wow! I just love Kira Sakuya", I whispered to Nala.
"Really?"
I noticed the look she was giving me,"What's wrong? He's hot!".
Nala nodded and then turned to face the front again. That was strange. Usually when a pretty boy was around, Nala would go gaga and start drooling (I have to admit that I do too, and even more than Nala!). But she was acting weird, almost as if she didn't want to talk about Sakuya.
While I was mezmerised in this, I almost didn't notice the tap on my shoulder Nala gave me.
"So what's that about the REAL world shit you were going on about a few minutes ago", she whispered.
I looked back at the front of the room. Sakuya was nearly ready to start the class.
"Can you come on over to my place after school?" I whispered back.
Nala smiled,"You bet!"
"You found a persocon in the trash? That's so cool!" Nala exclaimed. I told her all about how I found Goku when we were walking over to my place. We had just reached my door when I finished my story.
"No, it's not cool." I fiddled around with my keys and finally pushed the door open "Enter", I told Nala.
When we got in, Oh Kami! The first thing Nala saw was Goku lying on his stomach, his Barcelona T-shirt had creeped up his legs and was revealing A LOT of his legs and his upper chest. His left sleeve had sloped down and revealed one of his muscular shoulders.
"Wow! Nishune Konamari has oficially found a boyfriend! Let's give her a round of applause!" exclaimed Nala.
"NO YOU IDIOT! IT'S THE PERSOCON!" I cried out rushing over to Goku and pointing at his ears to make my point clear to Nala.
"Wow! So this is the famous persocon you found in the trash! Well, I think he looks cute! He should really be busted if someone chucked him out!"
Goku just blinked at Nala. I could tell Nala was wondering why he wasn't talking, so I decided I should tell her what the problem was. who knows? Maybe she could actually help me out.
"He can't talk at all. But he does understand some things and I don't think he's got any software installed or anything...And I haven't got the money to buy him software."
"What kind of operative sistem does he use?"
"I don't know. It just says "NO DATA" when I connected him to my TV"
"Wait a minute. If he doesn't have an operative sistem, then how can he move?"
"They can't move if they don't have that?"
"Of course not! If you don't install any software, your persocon's like a maniqui!"
I sighed. This wasn't gonna be easy.
"You know a lot more about computers than I do, Nala. Could you lend me a hand?"
Nala looked at Goku for a long time. I thought she was in a trance, but then, she spoke.
"Hmmmm...I'll have to look at some things first" she answered.
"What kind of things?" I asked nervously.
Nala lifted up Goku's shirt and stared at his chest. I gulped and turned red immediatley.
"What's his serial number? Usually they have the number written on the chest...But yours dosen't have it...Unless..."
"Unless what?" I asked growing more impatient and nervous by the minute.
"Unless it's in between his legs" gulped Nala.
"NO WAY! I'M NOT LOOKIN' DOWN THERE EVEN IF YOU PAY ME!" I hollered.
"WELL I'M NOT GONNA DO IT!" screeched out Nala.
Goku just blinked his eyes at us. He obviously didn't understand what we were talking about.
Nala sighed, "Why don't we do this the easy way and check out his hardware with MY mini persocon?"
She opened her school bag and called someone,"Come out, Veggie!"
Veggie turned out to be her persocon. He was tiny! He had black fluffy looking hair and a frown on his small face. He was wearing some strange kind of armor and a small red cape. He also had really strange ears, they weren't like Goku's. They were more squared while Goku's were triangle like.
"Oh wow! I didn't know you had a mini persocon. He's cute!" I squealed.
"You like him?" Nala asked grinning,"The best part is that I can take him anywhere without having to buy him a train ticket or a bus ticket too!"
Nala opened Veggie's left ear and pulled out a long cable, then she turned to Goku,"Are his cable's located in his ears?"
"Yes"
"Open one."
I turned to Goku and opened his right ear,"Hope you don't mind, Goku." He just smiled his sweet smile.
"You named him Goku?" Nala asked with interest.
"Umm, yeah. It's just that he looked a lot like Goku and, well-"
Nala patted my shoulder."If you give your persocon a name, you'll grow attached to him! You're gonna get hooked on him at this rate!"
Nala set Vegeta down on Goku's left shoulder and stood back.
"Veggie, could you please check out this persocon's hardrive?"
Veggie nodded. His eyes went into a funny slanted shape, obviously meaning that he was checking out Goku's hardrive. Suddenly, something went wrong. A strange creaking sound came from Veggie. It didn't last long, but after that, his head started to spin really fast (ever seen an owl turn it's head around in circles? Well, something like that, but much faster). Then, he stopped, and fell cold to the ground, smoke coming from his neck.
"OH MY GOD! VEGGIE! ARE YOU OK?" screamed out Nala.
"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?" I yelled out shocked.
"I DON'T GET IT! MY SOFTWARE'S TEN TIMES STRONGER THAN THE ONE I HAD BEFORE! HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED!" sobbed Nala while cuddling Veggie in her arms.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW? " I yelled becoming more hysterical by the minute.
Nala suddenly looked up, tears still streaming down her face,"THIS COULD ONLY MEAN ONE THING! YOUR PERSOCON'S HOMEMADE!"
"WHAT!"
Wow, Goku's a homemade persocon...The plot thickens. I wonder what I'm gonna do now? hehe. Turns out that my baby bro stuck a potatoe chip in the disket drive of my mom's computer and now I can't send anything from my mom's computer! I'll have to use my dad's...When he's not looking! He always get's mad when I use his computer, don't know why really...Not as if I'm doin' anything bad...Oh well, Chapter 4 is another one of my favorite's so get ready, oh, and Veggie won't be busted during the whole story, don't worry about that! He'll be his old, grouchy minipersocon self soon. I felt kinda mean having him bust down like that...
