"So, anyway, I was all like, Daniel you dick head! And he's all, 'Well, at least I have a life!' And I'm like, shut up!" Oozaru said as she and Thunder Saiyajin walked down the hall to get breakfast, "And then I hit him!"
Thunder gave Oozaru a thumbs up, "What'd your Mom say?"
"She threw a hissy fit! Something about, he's crying, go apologize! Ch, he was SO faking those tears!"
They both laughed and entered the cafeteria. While waiting in line, Thunder realized that Kataan hadn't been following them.
"Yo, Oozaru?"
"Hm?"
"Where's Kataan and Kai?"
"I think I heard Kai mention something about parents…." Oozaru mused, "Maybe she went to ask someone about where they think we are?"
"Maybe. My parents must be freaking out!"
"Mine too. They've probably got the cops and Sea Rescue trying to track me down!" Ana cringed.
Thunder blinked, "Sea Rescue?"
"We live near the ocean."
"Ah."
"Oh!" Oozaru suddenly squealed, "They have sausages! Good ones! And Toasted Cheese!"
"Yummy!" Chibi exclaimed grabbing as much food as possible,
"Yo, leave some for me!" Jeika said angrily.
"Me too, Chibi-kun!"
"My name is Vegeta!"
"Do I look like someone who cares?"
After they grabbed their food they looked around for a table where no one was sitting.
"Yo, OOZARU!"
Ana turned around and waved to HMH and Lemony, "Hey, guys!" They then decided to go sit with them.
Lemony smiled as they joined them, "Hello, ladies. Sleep well?"
"Fairly well. But I heard you two decided to do some exploring…" Oozaru glared at them.
HMH laughed nervously, "Hey, we didn't do anything wrong…"
"YOU HAD VEGETA TRYING TO KILL YOU!!!!"
"Well…. Uh…" HMH started to lean away from the angry demi-saiyan, "Uh… We know where Vegeta's dorm is!"
Thunder's eyes immediately lit up, "You do? Where is it?"
HMH was about to give directions when Kai and Kataan suddenly sat down. Kai had some toast while Kataan had opted for cereal. Upon seeing this, Lemony smirked.
"Hey, guys!" Kataan said, "We have an assembly after break- AH!" In her bowl of cereal a scorpion was sleeping, "Oh, my God!"
Oozaru glared at the boys who were laughing, "Idiots." Around the cafeteria, similar problems to Kataan's seemed to be happening.
"So I told her- OH MY LORD!! WHAT IS THAT??"
"It's in the butter!!!"
"They're everywhere!"
Oozaru took a bite of her toast, "This stuff is pretty good… Maybe Chichi cooked it?"
HMH shrugged at her and quickly stole a piece, "Dunno, maybe."
"Give that back!"
Just then, Jeika spoke up, "Institution; noun. 1 an institute; a public organization, e.g., a hospital or university. 2 a habit or custom. 3 instituting something."
Ana blinked, "Huh?"
"That's the definition of institution. I wonder why they named this place one…"
"Probably because university is already used in OFUD." Kai said nodding.
"Plus, the initials aren't as spiffy!" Oozaru added, nodding sagely.
Thunder blinked, "Initials?"
"Think about it! ZIFA? Or ZUFA?"
"Good point…"
"But," Lemony added, "Couldn't they have used Academy? Zafa?"
"Well, they can hardly change it now, can they?"
Suddenly, there was a yell from across the room, "TRUNKS-KUUUUUUN! Don't LEAAAAAVE me!"
"God damnit, Sari! Let me go!" Sure enough, across the room, Mirai Trunks stood desperately trying to get a tallish dark haired girl to let go of his leg.
The girl –Sari it seemed- let go in shock, "He… He knows my name…." She started to get a dreamy grin imagining all other times he might be calling her name…
"Of course I do! You just introduced yourself! And I use that term loosely!" Trunks said angrily, before stomping away.
Oozaru frowned, "Sari… Hey! That's Trunksgirl! YO, SARI! OVER HERE!"
Sari stood up and waved, "Hi, Oozaru!" Before leaving, it seemed the human girl had already eaten.
"You know her?" Thunder asked, while Jeika glared at the competition for her Trunks.
"Yeah, she reviews my fics sometimes."
"I just wanna know who put scorpions in the cereal!" Kataan glared at Lemony.
"Scropions." He replied.
Kataan blinked, "Huh? What's that?"
Oozaru groaned, "Oh, God! We're eating!"
HMH rolled his eyes, "Come on, Oozaru! That assembly's in five minutes we might as well go. Plus, we don't need to hear this again."
Oozaru nodded and dragged Chibi and Jeika away from the table.
Kataan and thunder Saiyajin blinked and turned to Lemony, "What's a scropion?"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Oozaru and HMH both walked quickly down the hallway looking for the assembly hall while thinking about how disgusting Lemony's creations were.
"Okay!" HMH said, stopping as they reached a fork in the hallway, "Which way to the assembly hall?"
Oozaru blinked, "I don't know. We're supposed to be thinking about how disgusting the scropions are…"
"Is that what you were thinking about? I was thinking about pie…."
"Honestly I was thinking about my clothes" Oozaru spun around, "Do these jeans make my butt look big?"
HMH sweatdropped, "No, Oozaru. Why does it matter?"
Oozaru squealed, "Why does it matter? What if I meet Bardock? Or Goten again?" Ana went dreamy eyed and started muttering about all the things she'd like to do to the two saiyajins.
HMH frowned, "Oozaru, I'm right here."
Oozaru snapped out of her daze and glared at him, "Consider it payback for planting cameras in Chichi's room."
Chibi intervened, "Guys, we shouldn't be bothering with this right now! We need to find the assembly hall!"
Jeika glared at the two teenagers, "Right!"
Ana shrugged and picked a random direction, "Let's go that way!"
Because there was no proof that wasn't the right direction and everyone just wanted to get a move on, the group headed down the hall that would lead them further away from the assembly hall.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Lemony led the way down the hall with Thunder Saiyajin, Kataan and Kai all following. The latter looking quite disturbed.
Kai, wanting to change the subject of everyone's thoughts asked, "How do you know the way?"
Lemony looked back, "There's signs on the walls and there was a map in the cafeteria."
Kataan blinked, "But, didn't Oozaru and HMH go a different way to the way we're going?"
Lemony sweatdropped, "I'm sure they'll be… okay… To some extent…"
&&&&&&& Inconvenient Interlude &&&&&&&&&&
A young girl of 14 was sitting in a dark and damp cell, the only light coming from a computer monitor in front of her. She typed laboriously, pausing only to rub her sleep-depraved eyes.
All of a sudden, the door crashed open and a young boy with spiky hair entered the room, he had a barbed wire whip by his side.
The girl wimpered in fear, "Prince Vegeta…"
Chibi Vegeta glared at the girl, "What's wrong with you! That last part wasn't funny at all! And what's this about getting lost? And Sari's entry into the fic was so stupid! She didn't even talk to you! This is so lame!"
The girl now had tears in her eyes, "But, sir! It's been so hard! The files deleted itself so many times… I've had to keep rewriting it!"
Vegeta sneered at her, "That just means you should have it down pat by now! Get to work!"
Oozaru Angel begged, "Please let me take a break, Prince! Let me go see my family! My friends!"
Vegeta laughed, "Never! Now get to work!" And with that he slammed the door behind him and left. Leaving Oozaru Angel to type the latest chapter for ZIFA.
&&&&&&& End Inconvenient Interlude &&&&&&&&&&
HMH and Oozaru were currently examining a compass, "Okay…" HMH said, "North's that way..." He pointed down one hall, "And since we wanna go West, we go that way!" He pointed down the other hall and the others nodded, following him.
Jeika stared at the ground as she walked, thinking to herself, "How do we know the
Assembly Hall is to the West?"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Lemony, Kataan, Thunder Saiyajin and Kai made their way into the Assembly Hall. There was many chair set up in rows, and they took some seats in the back row, making sure to save some spots incase HMH and Oozaru ever made their way there.
Goku grinned as he walked onto the stage, trying to ignore all the threats and boos making their way to him from the Vegeta fangirls, and trying even more to ignore all the comments about his anatomy from his own.
"Hello, authors! Welcome to the first assembly of Z Senshi's Institution of Fanfiction Authors! May I start things off, by saying no muses are allowed in here!"
A few muses made their way out. Kataan pulled Kai back into his seat and hissed at him, "You're human, and you're dressed pretty weird as well! Most people will just think you're an author who's cosplaying! Especially the teachers!"
This would've worked. But there were a few Beyblade fans in the audience. One looked back and saw Kai, she stood up and was about to point him out to the teachers.
"Goku-sensei, there's a muse back- urk!" Then she collapsed. In the back of her neck was an arrow.
Lemony leaned over to stare at Kataan, "Where'd you get THAT?"
Kataan put the bow away, "Hammer space."
Everyone blinked and turned to the front, miraculously, all the teachers had missed this display. And all the other students who recognized Kai decided not to risk pointing him out.
