Cry Me A River
You're my Best Friend (Queen)
MAGGIE
You can smell the alcohol on his breath as he screams at me. Nico isn't home yet, so I'm screwed. He pulled me by the shirt and threw me down the stairs. I roll down and land face first. There's a large gash on my check and its already bleeding like crazy. Before you can say help, he's got me in the kitchen, kicking and screaming at me. A kick from his steel toe boot knocks a tooth out and opens a gash on my forehead. He pulls my shirt off and I know the lashings are about to come. Off course, my bro bursts in at that moment and tackles my dad. I pull my shirt back in in time to see dad punching Nico.
"Dick!" I shouted, kicking him in the balls.
"Maggie, I have to duffel bags in my closet. One is full! Pack the other one! Go!"
so I ran upstairs and grab a duffel bag from his room. There blue. (Like his currently died hair. He does it to piss dad off if you didn't already know)
So I run into my room and what do I pack? My valuable goodies. Ipod, labtop computer, sketchbook, photo album with me and my best friends, and some clothes. I ran downstairs.
"So where are we going?"

NICO
Its been about a month since we arrived in west city. Lemme think…its like 3:00 pm, July 26th. I'm headed to the mall with Maggie. We were riding bikes we bought a few weeks ago. That had certainly drained my supplies. Luckily I'd gotten a job 2 weeks ago at a music store called titan music and unfortunately I'm only 15, so I'm still stuck with minimum wage. We've been staying in crappy motels on the outskirts of town. See, west city is a circle. The outer ring is basically a ghetto, the middle ring is for regular middle class people. The inner ring is for the big cheeses, like the briefs family, owners of the capsule corporation. With the balance of paying for a motel and getting food, my pocket change that I got left over from my job was like, 20 zeni. I'd been saving, and I now had like 100 Zeni and I was taking Maggie to the store to buy back to school supply's. We had backpacks that I packed before hand but we needed books. We each needed 6 notebooks for school. (I was starting at orange star high for my sophomore year September 5th; Maggie was going to red sun elementary for 5th grade.)
(A/N I might call the middle school green moon lmao)
also I needed like 8 folders and other common school goods. We capsulated our bikes and walked into the mall. It was in the middle ring, by the way. Its one of the 5 malls in the middle ring, witch is where all the shops and such are located. When we got to the staples we parted, to go find our desired items. Naturally, at the checkout our total was 115 Zeni.
Damn! I didn't have that extra cash. I was starting to pull out items I didn't need desperately when a pretty blue haired girl (I mean like, real blue hair. Not the fake stuff I'd been dying my hair with. Oh, and by the way if your wondering the die has worn off and I've got no need to die it anymore, so I'm keeping it black) she placed a 20 Zeni slip in my hand.
"Don't worry, I don't even need the money' she said, smiling.
"Uh, thanks I guess…Bulma briefs right?"
"Yes"
"I thought I recognized you…I've seen you in like a bazillion magazines. So what's a girl like you doing in an average Joe mall?
"Shopping, what else? The rich stores are all here"
"Yep, the inner ring doesn't have any malls" Maggie cut in.
Damn. I felt like a dumbass.
"So, Bulma what grade are you in?
"Going into tenth"
"Oh, me two, are you going to orange star?"
Actually yes. You should meet up with me and my friends tomorrow at Tao's diner. Its right near the barber shop on 123rd street."
"yeh, I've seen it."
"Okay, I guess I'll be seeing you"
"See ya"
And then Bulma departed. I grabbed our bags led Maggie out of the mall.
"You like her"
"She's hot"
"…And you like her"
"I don't know her"
"But you like her!"
"Again, I barely know her"
"true…BUT YOU LIKE HER!"
"BLEEEHHHHHHH!"
"MAHHHHHHH!"
"RAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
We both erupted in laughter.
\o/-\o/
THE NEXT DAY
I decided to drop Maggie off at the movie theater, so she could watch pirates of the Caribbean 4 while I hung out with Bulma.I biked out to Tao's diner, and walked in to find that mass of blue hair and her friends at a circle table in the middle of the diner. It was a classic 50s style diner with waitresses on roller skates. There were 3 of them, a kid with short spiky black hair, a guy with crazy black hair that stuck up EVERYWARE and Bulma. I walked up and sat down across from Bulma.
"Oh, guys, this is Nico, that kid I was telling you about. Nico, that's Yamcha, and that's Goku."
"Cool. Sup guys?"
"N-not much, just wondering what I should order. I've n-never been here before."Yamcha stuttered. He looked really nervous. He was sitting next to bulma, there chairs only inches apart. Either he was nervous because of her or he just wasn't good with girls at all.
"Hi, I'm Goku! Its nice to meet you!" he said, sticking out his hand. I shook it.
So when the waitress came I ordered pancakes. One thing you should know about me is, well, no matter what time of day it is, if I'm at a diner, I order pancakes. The sweet flower and egg combination just, well, rocks my world.
I was jarred out of my thoughts by a devious sentence, uttered by the mouth of Bulma.
"Guys, lets mess with the waitress" she said mischievously.
This was going to be a fun lunch. And in fact, the fun began when she brought out our food.
"WAITRESS!" I shouted, standing up, giving the others a "follow my lead" look.
"Um. Yeh…?" she said to me, confused
"THIS GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE IS NOT ADEQUATE! I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR NOM PULP!" I shouted, rather pompously.
"Okay…I'll just go get more for you then…?" she looked scared.
Then Bulma stood up.
"MY PANCAKES ARE BUTTERMILK! I DON'T THINK I ASKED FOR BUTTER MILK!"
"YOU'VE JUST KILLED THIS WOMENS DAY WAITRESS!" I SHOUTTED
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM MISS "WAITRESS"?
"…No…?" she trembled.
"THIS WOMEN IS BULMA BREIFS! SHE COULD PUT THIS WHOLE RESTAURAUNT OUT OF BUISINESS IF SHE WANYED! Now, get her some real pancales!"
it was too late. The girl ran away crying.
"jeeze, now I feel bad.."
"Me too…" Bulma replied.
"Not!" I shouted.
"You guys are jerks!" Goku said, half laughing.
So we exited the shop hysterically laughing. I departed and went to get my sister. I had had a lot of fun, and they were pretty cool kids. I hoped I'd see them again soon.
Though unfortunately, the next time I saw them, I met there other friends.
I hate how this chapter ended. I really do. But it was necessary. I needed to establish a bond between my main characters. Thanks to my 2 reveiwers. I hope you find this chapter funny, and c ya next time, on Wednesday.
