I know, I know...took long enough to update. Huh? Hope you enjoy, R&R! ^_^
Roshi had finally figured everything out and on his first try. What a record! The only thing was that he had no clue who this mystery girl was, he had seen her before. He heard mumbling from upstairs. "Chi-Chi, you're so silly". Then, there was laughter and all the pieces to the puzzle were solved for Master Roshi.
"Wake up sleepy head, I know you're hungry! Why don't you say we both go to somewhere to get something to eat. Besides, the evening breezes are always soothing". Master Roshi had to wake young Goku up and he knew that he had to work on a project. Goku looked around the room to see that it was surprisingly darker outside. The sky appeared to have dark clouds that weren't for rain, but perhaps for something mischievously planned. The spiky hair boy jumped out of bed to stretch for a bit.
For the time being, Goku was feeling at his best like always. It was now friday night at five-thirty, which seemed like it took all of eternity. Master Roshi had treated Goku to a fancy restaurant where they were now waiting for Krillin to show up. The place had a crazy theme that looked like something out of a circus. The best part of the place was its food, the aroma's from the sushi and other unknown things, were enough to shock you into a food coma. "Thanks so much, Master Roshi, I really appreciate everything you do for me!", Goku bowed to the elderly man. Goku caught a glimpse of Krillin, who was completely lost, so he waved his arms in the air to alert Krillin to where he was.
"Sorry about that, it's just that this place is unbelievably packed! I know...how about I have some food?", Krillin situated himself in the middle of the young boy and the old man. He finally noticed how bizarre everything looked. He was sitting on a backless top chair that was red, like a clown nose. There were paintings of faceless characters all over the walls. "Pretty freaky, huh?", Goku chuckled while looking at the same thing his friend saw. Roshi had just put the order through, but at the same time there had been other relevant worries on his mind. "When is this event going to take place and will you two be needing pick up?", he questioned. Just then, the waiter placed the meal on the table and Goku instantly dug in. Upon hearing those questions, the food sitting in Krillin's mouth almost traveled the wrong path as he gulped, rather hardly. The old man was without a doubt very wise. But just what was he getting at?
"About that...uhh...", the bald-headed monk was at a lost for words. If the event was a regular thing, then what was so special about it that left him speechless? He glanced at Goku as if to lift the pressure that Roshi inflicted on his miniature mind. What was so hard about explaining something so simple? "It starts at...seven and we can walk home from the place.", Krillin was glad to have gotten that off his chest. Inside his head was pounding like hell, so trying to not say something stupid was basically impossible.
"A late night party, huh? Maybe, I should go with you guys and chaperone because things might become out of control.", Roshi replied with utmost concern. His face was very stern and judging by that there could not be a way to get him to change his mind. There was no way Krillin was going to let this happen, that old man wasn't ruining what little bit of fun they might have. At the same time, Goku was oblivious to the fact that something strange was going on, or that Master Roshi was grilling Krillin who was sweating like melting ice cream in the middle of summer.
"What, you can't trust me now? Its at Bulma's house...you know, the girl who you are always perving on.", the last part of that sentence made Roshi's face light up like a Christmas tree. Not wanting to push the subject any further, Roshi changed his mind, "Fine, have a good time and be safe. Just make sure you guys call if anything happens. Try not to get into any trouble". Less than half-an-hour later, Goku finished his meal, his stomach was completely satisfied. They headed for the rendezvous point that Krillin was told to go to, right in front of Bulma's house. "I wonder where Chi-Chi is, I know she is supposed to be working with us.", Goku thought to himself. There he was again, thinking about the beautiful, young girl.
At the moment, she was fixing her appearance in the rather large compact mirror she had. Her appearance was never really her main concern, but because of a certain boy it was imperative Chi-Chi look her best, tonight. "Yeesh! It's just a project...you must really be nervous. Your only asking simple questions, not being taped by the world.", Bulma commented on Chi-Chi's actions. Bulma must have forgot about what she and Krillin talked about the other day. "Are you sure he is supposed to be coming? Maybe he is really bad off and can't make it.", Chi-Chi worried. Bulma squinted her eyes in confusion, "Huh? Uh...oh, Goku will be here.", she laughed remembering the brief conversation. Chi-Chi became somewhat annoyed by Bulma's laughing, "What is so funny?", she wondered.
Goku and Krillin were about twenty steps away from the two girls. Who knows how long this project would take? The current time was two minutes after seven, it was already quite late so Bulma took out her cellphone to finish the final arrangements.
"There he is, so calm. He's like a knight who's arrived to save me.", Chi-Chi thought. It seemed as though Goku was trying hard to ignore her, and she could feel something breaking within her. Her blood was boiling like a volcano before an eruption.
"This is weird, I don't to want keep looking or everyone will think I am weird. But, it's really hard to not look.", Goku was lost. Things were just happening to quickly. In reality there was an awkward silence that Krillin observed, between Goku and Chi-Chi. "Bulma, care to explain things further? A little lost here.", he asked look at the two on each side of him, weirdly. Bulma gave the 'wait' sign with her finger, finished speaking, then put her cell phone away. "Basically, you will walk into a 'station' and just ask questions, like at an interview. Materials are set up, and in the kitchen there is food and drinks...as in soda and stuff.", she winked.
They walked into her house where Goku found everything amusing and was all ready eying the snacks. "I see, you must have a really big appetite.", Chi-Chi giggled nervously. He stuck to his plan and pretended she didn't exist. If there was a world list of 'Things Not to Do' : not answering Chi-Chi would be number one on it. In totally utter rage, her face changed into what most people would explain as "monstrous".
"Don't ever turn your back on me when I am talking to you, jerk!", her fists were clinched tightly. If her feelings hadn't been in the way, she would have punched him. From that moment on, Goku would make sure he never made that same mistake a second time. Krillin quietly remarked at her, "Oh brother, must she over react every time"?
"Sorry, I heard you but I just didn't say anything, because I was thinking about something.", Goku put his head down so he couldn't look at her. The timing and the project itself couldn't be any worse, ever since he met up with the other three his thoughts became more frequent. In such a short amount of time. Goku was practically daydreaming with each step that he took. He looked back up, instantaneously a warm feeling mixed with electricity shot through his body. Chi-Chi's eyes were fixated on his while they both stood with doe-eyes. The moment was quite beautiful until a certain blue-haired female ended it.
"Everyone else will be here very shortly, let's just gather around here". Bulma pointed to the exact middle of the room, in front of a comfortable couch. In the kitchen there were a ton of soda bottles lined up and chilled. Along the side there were numerous varieties of chocolate and different candy. Bulma also had stereo equipment set for entertainment purposes, of course.
The door bell rung which prompted Bulma to answer. An army of young to middle-aged teenagers marched in, the last one stopped an inch short of Bulma. "Hey, babe.", the boy had long black hair and resembled Goku a little. Bulma rolled her eyes and proceeded to kiss him, "Hello...Yamcha". She held hands with the teenager and sat on the couch. The room was full of people now and Goku seemed to be getting very anxious. "I remember that face from somewhere. Is that her boyfriend or something? Who knew?", Goku started to wonder how long they had been together for.
"I wish that were us. Oh, what am I saying...dad will kill me if he finds or found out that I was dating a boy. Especially with the particular boy being Goku". Her father had already warned her that if there was anything going on between them, he would have Goku's head on a plate. "But dad he is a truly sincere person by heart. Why couldn't we be together?", the Ox King laughed at those pitiful words. "Because, Chi-Chi, that monkey is just up to no good...you don't need a boyfriend...not at this young age..", his point came off very well, but disappointing to Chi-Chi. Before she left for to work on the project her father and her exchanged more words, but in her short flashback those stuck out the most.
"Damn, bitch! Why is she so lucky and popular? Wait, I don't even act or think like this, I have to get a grip!", thinking about Goku was driving her crazy so much that she begin to chew her bottom lip. One day she planned to open up to him, regardless of what her father believed.
Goku and Krillin taped on Bulma's shoulder and motioned to meet in the hallway. "So, you and Yamcha have something going on"? Bulma paused and smiled. "Geez you never told anyone.", Goku said while relieving his mind of those thoughts. "Chi-Chi's known for a few months, she told me. Apparently, she found out before we started to talk to each other.", she responded. It was almost eight and the assignment hadn't even been started, yet. Bulma clapped her hands, pushed the start button on the stereo and announced that everyone move to a 'station'. While everyone was asking questions a few of Yamcha's friends headed to the kitchen. Stumbling around, a light-brown haired girl and a boy, emptied an odorless liquid substance into all of the bottles of soda, and juices.
"Hey, Yamcha, what are your friends doing?", Bulma questioned. Goku sensed something was going to happen, something crazy. He saw Yamcha get up and go to the kitchen to check on his friends. Goku noticed that there was something wrong with how the two were walking, everything seemed normal because all they were doing was handing out what was supposed to be soda. "Why the hell are you two acting stupid like that? Don't make me get kicked out for something you're doing!", Yamcha yelled. The two teenagers nodded at each other and laughed wildly. "Okay, the way people act these days.", Krillin looked at Goku, directing those words towards them. At this point everyone in the room had a cup of soda. Yamcha, Bulma, and Chi-Chi gulped theirs down and went back for a second one, violent shouting initiated on the other side of the room where Goku and Krillin were.
The kids who were Yamcha's friends were starting to fight like animals. Goku shot Krillin a worried look, neither knew why this was happening. Turning around to see what Bulma and Chi-Chi were doing, they were disgusted to find Yamcha and Bulma making out on top of the table. Krillin aimed for his soda and finished in one shot. He held his head in pain, his speech became slurred. "Goku, just what are we going to do now? It's like everyone is going crazy.", Krillin said in fear. At that moment, Goku wanted to end things fast before it became worse. Suddenly, Goku felt a hand traveling up his upper torso.
"Go...Goku...your stomach is so soft and hard at the same...time." the words coming out of Chi-Chi's mouth were stretched and slurred. She appeared to be flushing a really deep shade of red. Was he hearing things? Why was everyone's speech so off? Goku was starting to panic and didn't know what to do. "Chi-Chi, why are you doing this? Snap out of it!", he let out whimpers, then smacked her hand away. Everyone else were like zombies being told to act horribly. Goku felt that he had to do something, so he ran upstairs and into a room, he assumed was Bulma's. Since his throat was parched he guzzled the first cup of soda down and finished off another one he had.
In the room there was a desk setup with a brand new laptop and other equipment. He easily spotted a note that was for Bulma, saying that her parents wouldn't be back until the next day. "Hey, she said her parents were here! What can I do? If Master Roshi finds out, he will be really upset with us.", Goku sat down on the floor to think. There was really nothing he could do at this point, what was done was done. "Goku, I know you're in there". His eyes widened in horror at the thought of Chi-Chi entering the room, almost tripping over the teal-colored carpet that was bunched up. Once again the blood rushed to his head, immense pain that he never experienced in this way. What it the soda that made him like that?
The loud noise from downstairs was amplified in Goku's head, he backed up and fell on the bed. Chi-Chi gazed at him for a little, then she stumbled her way over. Unsure of what was happening, Goku seemed to be loosing his sense of reasoning, simply loosing control of his mind and body. "Goku, stop...avoiding me. We...we...need to talk.", she turned around to have their noses meet. She held his chin in the palm of her left hand and used her other hand to caress his cheek. There was a brief pause as Chi-chi closed her eyes and leaned a little more closer to him.
Goku was sitting in an upright position like Chi-Chi, on a queen sized bed that was as soft as a pillow. They were both blushing even though they didn't actually understand what they were doing. Then Goku closed his eyes and closed the distance between them, their lips met for ten seconds, before pulling away from each other. This feeling was what both of them had been waiting for, for sometime. It was like drinking a heart-warming cup of hot coco and sitting next to a fire. A warm and fuzzy feeling deep in the pits of their stomachs. "Thank you...Chi-Chi.", Goku said. Chi-Chi snuggled up by him, placing her head on his shoulder and immediately feel asleep. Goku followed shortly.
Meanwhile, Roshi was worried sick. "Where are those two at? It's already after eleven, it's pitch black out, and they haven't called!", he shouted as he finished chopping the onions up, glancing at the telephone. Maybe he should call Bulma's parents. "Ah, I'll just give it another thirty minutes, then I'll check on them". He yawned out loud and closed his eyes, unintentionally falling sound asleep.
