Chapter 10:

The whole walk to the diner down the street, people stared at Katie and Trunks. Trunks didn't seem to notice at all, and Katie couldn't figure out why. It was more than just a glance, people watched them from the moment the two Saiyans entered their line of vision until they were out of sight. Katie rubbed her arms feeling a chill in the air.

Trunks was just hungry, and like most male Saiyans that's all he cared about at the moment. He led his mate into the diner and sat. Katie sighed in relief as she sat. There were other people in here but none of them were watching her now.

The waitress was dressed in a red plaid uniform with a white apron and a name tag that said 'Betty'. She had big hair, like the 80's, and lots of make-up.

"What can I get ya sweeties?" she asked. Katie and Trunks scanned the menu. The number one caught Katie's eye, it was eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast.

"Coffee and the number one." Katie said.

"I'll have the same." Trunks added, putting his menu down.

"Alright, I'll have that coffee out in a moment." Betty walked off.

"I'll be right back." Trunks got up and headed back to the bathroom. Katie nodded, and when the coffee arrived, she took a drink hoping the warm liquid would calm her down.

Right then a little boy ran up grinning. Katie blinked and grinned back. He was blonde with green eyes. She put down her mug of coffee and turned to face him.

"Well hello there." Katie said.

"Hi lady. My mommy is your waitress." He said, still grinning, "Leave the town while you can."

"Wh-what?" Katie asked. Just then the boy's face vanished, then reappeared in the blink of an eye. Katie jumped and scooted back from him.

"Find your friends while you still can." Then he just skipped off like it was nothing. Katie looked around the diner but no one had even looked up when she jumped. She sighed and took another sip of coffee. She was just freaked out by the dream, that was all. People's faces didn't just vanish like that.

Trunks came back and sat down. Katie was holding her mug with both hands and shaking slightly. Trunks tilted his head.

"Hey… you okay?"

"Yeah, I think that dream is still freaking me out." Katie took another sip. Just then the waitress came back with their plates.

"This looks good." Trunks said.

"Thanks. Say, I don't think I've seen you two before. New in town?"

"We're just passing through." Katie said, taking a bite from her breakfast.

"Yeah, it's our honeymoon." Trunks grinned, sipping his coffee.

"Oh… that's nice." The waitress looked solemn though as she walked away.

"That was odd." Trunks said, but he shrugged and took a bite of his food. Katie nodded as she looked out the window. It was really dark outside. Katie looked but saw no clouds, but no sun either. She was about to say something about it, but when she looked down on the table she nearly gagged. She cried out and stood.

"Katie, what… gross!" the food was covered was large blue/black beetles. Trunks shot up from his seat too.

Katie looked around the diner as their surroundings began to change. The modern diner started to change into an old decrepit building. The metal bar stools turned into wooden seats. The cushions on the booths completely vanished, and all the wood was dirty and scratched up. The people who had been seated were suddenly standing and facing Katie and Trunks, but now their faces where gone.

"Something is seriously fucked up here." Katie said, "We have to go find Greed and Insanity and get the hell out of this town!"

"I agree totally!" Trunks and Katie ran out into the street.

"Greed! Insanity!"

"Can you sense their energy?" Trunks asked.

"I can't… but Trunks, that's not all. I can't sense the energy of any living creatures."

"But the diner-"

"I know! It was full of… things. Even Greed and Insanity have Ki levels. These… things…"

"Let's stop talking about it and find them."

"Yeah, come on." Katie and Trunks took off down the street.
