Chapter 7 - The Dragon Balls Are Stolen... Great.

After our episode at Fire Mountain, we soon arrived in the town where the rabbit gangsters are. I didn't do too much there, all I did throw some rocks at the two rabbit-eared goons and their leader, made some more time for Goku and Yamcha while they took care of the rest. It was kinda fun and thrilling.

Right now, all of us are now heading for the last Dragon Ball. I sat beside Oolong and stared at the giant mushroom trees around us.

"Okay, what's going to happen today?" I questioned in my thoughts.

"It won't be long now, you guys." Bulma spoke up.

I averted my eyes to her and saw her staring at the radar with a strange look.

I sweatdropped, "What the Seven Hells?"

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask," Oolong spoke up, "so this big wish is gonna be enough for all of us, right? I've been thinking along the lines of all the gold in the world."

"Oh crap," I mumbled and facepalmed.

He turned and raised a brow, "What's wrong?"

"Ooh, I forgot to tell you, didn't I?" Bulma blushed strangely which earned her a look from me.

I sighed and touched my pig-friend's shoulder, "This woman here is gonna waste our wish for a boyfriend, dude." I said.

His eyes widened, "What! A boyfriend? Are you serious!?" he yelled.

Bulma hummed a 'Yes' ignoring my previous comment and I gave Oolong a sympathetic look.

"What's wrong?"

Oolong growled, "So you're gonna waste our wish, so you can get yourself a boyfriend? What a rip off!"

I laughed and slapped my knee, "I know, right?"

"What? You take that back," Bulma jeered and turned her head, "I think you're just jealous."

I scoffed, "Woman, I'm sixtee—I mean, ten years old. Why would I be jealous for a boyfriend?"

I could even careless to have a boyfriend truthfully. Sure, being in love is nice, but I rather put school first or like that. Boyfriends are just men who take away my precious time and waste it. Also, love, dating, and kissing isn't my style yet. I find the act of kissing on the lips disgusting.

I shivered when I imagined myself kissing a guy. How disgusting...

"I knew I should've stayed at home!" Oolong exclaimed, and gave an irritated look to the teen scientist.

Bulma yelled for the pig to 'look out' while Goku held Oolong's seat with a scared look. Lastly, me? I was just in my seat with my seatbelt unbelted and a chill expression on my face.

Hey, sue me. I was used to these kinds of situations. Whenever my step-dad or my mom drives the car, we almost got into accidents. (Thanks to their carelessness.)

This took the pleasure to know how can I survive in car accidents. Kuya Bon was willing to help me practice how to back then. Ah, good times.

The hovercar squealed once we took a sharp turn, I grinned maniacally and started laughing like a maniac.

I yelled, "That was awesome!"

"I know!" Goku smiled and we gave each other high-fives.

Bulma smacked us even Oolong, "You crazy brats! Also, learn how to drive!" she yelled at the pig.

I snickered along with Goku. While we continued to drive through the mushroom woods. I suddenly remember.

" &#$ s#$ ! I'm gonna meet Mai today!" I squealed internally with a fangirl scream.

"Bulma, I'm gonna ask you nicely this time. Would you please, please change your wish? There must have been something you want that the four of us can split between us," he said.

I blinked and realized that was thoughtful of Oolong. He included me and Goku when he could just included himself and Bulma. That was really nice of him to include us.

Bulma glared, "Remember Oolong, just one word from me, you'll have to go to the bathroom, thanks to that pill."

Oolong growled and I patted him, sharing his feeling. Well, part of it. Even though I'm quite irritated by Bulma's selfish wish, I don't really partially care. I was only doing this because I have to.

Well... wanted, actually.

"Kid, hold on to your seat." he mumbled to me.

I blinked and did what he said. Oolong stepped on the brakes, causing a huge step on the hovercar. My two friends yelled in surprise and Bulma stood up with a furious look.

"Oolong, you're making me mad!" she growled.

I sighed boredly and leaned back olin my seat, "He's doing a protest, dudette." I drawled and blew on one of my bangs.

"Yeah, and I'm not moving another inch until you change your wish into something reasonable." Oolong glared.

I raised my fist, "Preach!" I yelled playfully with a funny deep voice.

Bulma crossed her arms still glaring, "Sure, I wish you shut up and drive." she hissed.

I winced, "Ooh, burn, baby, burn!"

Sooner than we expected, Bulma and Oolong glared at each other hatefully. Goku held his face watching the two argue while I just armed-hug him with a monotone face.

"Look! We come all this way so let's just shut up and go for it,"

"Not this pig!"

"Piggy! Piggy, piggy~" Bulma shouted.

Oolong held his stomach in pain, "That's not fair!" he said and ran away to take a poo.

I heard an indescribable sound and shivered in disgust. Gosh, Bulma is really perfect for Vegeta. No wonder Akira paired the two together.

Oolong came back and squinted his eyes at the blunette, "I hope that your new boyfriend comes with dipers." he sat down in the driver seat and started the engine.

Once we hovered the ground something hit the back of our hovercar and exploded. We flew into the air with a shout and landed on the ground with a thump.

I groaned and rubbed my lower back, "Go-chan, are you okay?" I soon patted my chest calming my rapid heartbeat.

"M-Maybe? How about you," he rubbed his head.

"I think so..." I hissed feeling a small bruise forming on my back.

"What happened?" Oolong stuttered.

"Uh, we got blown up!"

By then, a familiar robot machine landed and flew above us. We huddled together and stared in shock while it searched through our broken hovercar. I gasped and remembered clearly about the episode.

"Hey!" I yelled.

'Shu' (which I now remembered his name) soon took our suitcase which has the Dragon Balls and I can see his smug face on through his glass screen.

"Thank you and so long suckers! The balls are mine now," Shu flew away laughing.

"Kisama!" I growled.

"That thing took our Dragon Balls,"

"Repossessed them,"

"It stole them, Go-chan." I corrected my friend.

Bulma turned to Goku, "Goku, you are our only hope! Hurry, go call the Flying Nimbus." she ordered.

Goku nodded, "Flying Nimbus!" he yelled to the sky.

He ran and jumped on his Nimbus before flying away quickly.

"Get those Dragon Balls, Goku! We're counting on you!" Bulma yelled.

My eyes widened and I turned to the broken hovercar. I ran towards it and searched through the debris for my backpack.

"Please, please, please..." I mumbled and saw my bag unharmed. "Yus!" I smiled triumphantly and checked inside of it.

All of my stuff are okay. Thank goodness.

I sighed in relief and took out my smartphone along with my earphones. I ignored the scientist and the pig behind me and wrote my stories in my phone.

"Oh, it sure is taking Goku a long time." Bulma paced around.

"Hey, kid, I got an idea. Forget that wish, okay?"

She looked at him, "What? No way."

"Hey, I could be your boyfriend. What d'you say?"

"I say 'thanks, but no thanks', got it!?"

So noisy...

Goku arrived and Bulma stared at him enthusiastically. Too bad that he doesn't have the balls. I kept my phone in my hoodie while he told our dear scientist that the 'monster' is dead while he jumped down from his Nimbus.

"Uhh, Goku?"

"Huh?" he looked up the blunette.

I knew what is going to happen, so I sprinted to his direction and covered his ears.

"Who got the Dragon Balls?!" she screeched.

Thank goodness, I'm still wearing earphones.

"Uh, I don't know." he replied.

A mysterious spotlight appeared on Bulma and I sweatdropped while she sobbed.

"What the hell? Is like I'm watching Nami or Ussop now!" I slowly stepped away from the blunette with Goku.

"My boyfriend... It's not fair, they probably summoned the dragon already." she sobbed.

I rolled my eyes, "Woman up, you whiny brat." I growled. "Come on. It's not the end of the world."

Goku gave her a strange look and blinked for a moment, "Uh, I still got one."

I nodded, "Yeah, Go-chan here got his grandpa's ball."

Bulma stopped crying and stood up with a haughty laugh. She thanked Goku and snuggled him, which made the child to protest and wanting her to stop snuggling him while Oolong barged in to ruin the moment.

I gave a roundhouse kick at Oolong and gave Bulma a thumbs up.

She eventually stood up with a cocky look, "Now, let's get 'em. Let's get out there and find those Dragon Balls! They won't get far. Get the car you two, we could track them with my radar."

"Hey, fearless leader, you forget our car got blown up." Oolong and said in unison.

Bulma gave us a look, "Ah, ah, ah, ah. That's okay, Oolong, Lea, I still have my DynoCaps." she blinked and got quiet for a moment. "Uhh, I forgot. They were in there with the Dragon Balls."

Her eyes teared and she started crying pathetically.

We all gave her strange looks except mine is mixed with amusement. You are all wondering why I didn't get her capsules. Well, to be clear. I just wanted to see her cry and sob like a pathetic baby. Yes, I'm sadistic, who can blame me? While I watched her cry and remembered that I have Capsule vehicles.

I was almost tempted to take out one of them, but I stopped myself. It's not my place to do that.

I rubbed my head with a sigh, "Stop crying, nee-chan. We'll find a way..."

"Lea's right, Bulma, you'll see." Goku said.

Bulma sniffed, "You're just saying that." she sobbed.

"You're right, we are/they are just saying that." Oolong and I spoke in harmony and he gave me a glare.

"Would you stop doing that?" he growled.

I blinked and shrugged monotonely, "I have no idea what you mean."

"Would you keep quiet!" she gave us a furious glare.

"Hey, look who it is!"

I jumped and saw Yamcha stopped by in front of us. I sweatdropped at his weird look while the others stared.

Bulma held her cheeks, "Hi, Yamcha." she smiled with a boy-crazy look.

I rolled my eyes.

Disgusting.

"W-What a-a coincidence! A-Are you g-guys still stuck out h-here?" Yamcha laughed nervously and yelled once Bulma sat beside him.

I groaned and facepalmed. Just go with the flow, Leanne. Just go with the flow...

"Yeah, we were until you showed up." Bulma blushed and grabbed Puar's head before throwing him out of the car.

Luckily, I was closed for the car, so I was able to catch Puar before he could hurt himself. However, there was a cost.

I landed on the ground, held out my arms, and Puar landed on them with a squeak.

"O-Oh, sweetie, are you okay?" I asked with my eyes widened in worry.

Puar blinked and nodded, "Y-Yeah... Thanks."

I smiled, "No prob."


For a while, Yamcha gave Bulma and Oolong a ride. The shapeshifters sat on the back while Bulma sat besides the desert bandit. I, for one, rode on the Nimbus with Goku.

"It's been a while I rode on Nimbus," I told Goku, "I miss riding her." I patted the cloud.

He giggled, "Yeah, I think she missed you too."

We both laughed and the two of us chatted. I was telling Goku some funny stories while he told me some too. The two of us noticed the weird exchange the Bulma and Yamcha did.

"That was weird," we said simultaneously. We blinked and snickered at our synchrony.

I sighed and hugged Goku, he hugged me back and we continued to ride on the Nimbus together. I think I was the only one who is the affectionate one in the group. Sure, Bulma and Oolong didn't mind the hugs and all, but I knew they're not used to it and thinks it's all childish. It's gonna take me some time to make them get used to my hugs and snuggles.

Goku is the only one who responded all of them with no hesitation. In fact, when I was living with him in the mountains, he didn't really mind the hugs and pecks on the head and cheeks I first gave him. Though he did question about them.

"Leanne?"

"Hm?"

He scratched his head with a curious look, "Why do you like hugging me, calling me names, and giving those...?"

"Oh, those pecks I gave you earlier? Well, I'm just too loving, Go-chan."

"What's a peck, Leanne?" he asked.

I blinked at this, "Well, it's similar to a kiss, sweetie."

Goku tilted his head, "What's a kiss?"

I flinched and tried to find the right words to explain, "Well, a kiss is where you put your lips to somebody's lips."

"Oooh," he nodded, "so what's the difference with a kiss and a peck?"

"Umm, oh dear," I laughed sheepishly. "You can say a kiss is where you can do it with the person you really, really love. A peck is a friendly version of a kiss, except you can't do it on the lips or to anybody who isn't your closest friend."

"Okay," he smiled.

I widened my eyes. Oh crud, what if he took it in a wrong way. Feeling paranoid, I spoke up.

"You also can't peck a friend who is the same gender as you. Because guys like you find it weird," I said quickly, hoping he won't peck his friends.

"Huh, why?"

"Ehhh, you'll understand when you're older, honey. But, don't peck every girl you befriended, Goku. Because they'll take it in a more a different way," I warned him.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll tell you when you're fifteen,"

"Oh okay, but can I peck you, Leanne?"

I blinked in surprise and blushed a bit, "Sure."

Goku pecked me on the cheek and I grinned and pecked his forehead. We both laughed and played around the house.

I snuggled his hair and mumbled how soft it is. Goku chuckled and snuggled on my neck.

Yep, Goku is my official cuddle buddy. Yeah, I got to check this on my bucket list!

We arrived at Pilaf's castle in no time. We stared at the building in awe and I was gaping at it. Oh my gosh, seeing it in person is awesome! The building looks so beautiful than in the anime.

"Look at the size of it," Bulma awed the castle.

Goku nodded in agreement, "It's huge!"

My fingers twitched and I started to shake with excitement. Goku noticed my unusual behavior and tapped my arm.

"Hey, Lea, are you alright?" he asked.

"Must... draw..." I whispered.

I jumped up and squealed so loudly that it made the others jumped in surprise. I began to run around and jump like a maniac.

"Ohmfghdjehfahkdkdhgkf! This building is soo beautiful, let meh draw it!" I yelled, raising my sketchbook and pencils in the air.

"Lea, we don't have time for that! Why don't you shoot a picture of this place instead?" Bulma glared.

I pouted and sniffed, "B-But... drawing the castle in person is much more better than the picture."

Her head comically went huge and she smacked my head.

"Idiot! We don't have time!" she screamed.

I sniffed and anime-cried, I rubbed my bump and whimpered.

"Bulma, that's not nice." Goku said and approached me.

"Like l care!" Bulma growled.

I quickly stood up and raised a fist, "You wanna fight me, spoiled bi #$? Huhh?" I glared demonically.

"What did you just call me?!"

Goku held me back, "Why don't we all settle down and focus getting the Dragon Ball?" he reasoned.

I grumbled and agreed. Bulma and I grudgingly glared at each other, she humped, and turned her head away from me.

"B! #h," I hissed quietly, but took a picture of the castle anyway.

"It looks like no one's home," Goku spoke up.

"See if it's open, Goku?"

"Ummm, I don't think that's a good idea." Oolung stammered.

Goku pushed the door and Bulma started encouraging our little Saiyan to keep pushing. I decided to push the door with him and he gave me a smile.

"That's it, guys. Keep pushing!"

We growled while we pushed the heavy door, we managed to push it open and saw the inside.

"Let's go,"

I nodded and Bulma stuttered about the room being too dark. Oolong stuttered too, and told us the atmosphere being scary. We walked in and I held my bag to my chest protectively.

I started to hear small squeaks while we walked into the room.

"Did you guys hear something?" Oolong asked nervously.

I nodded, knowing what I heard are bats.

Just in time, the bats appeared and everyone screamed except me. I turned to my friends and yelled.

"Get down!" I ordered and ducked down.

They did and the bats flew around. Everyone screamed and I heard a thump and two teens.

"Why did you do that for?"

"I-I thought you were a bat..."

I rolled my eyes and stood up, "Everybody okay?"

They responded with a 'Yes' and 'Maybe'. I sighed and we continued walking.

While we walked, I began to see some figures in the corner of my eyes. Dang it, my imaginations are running wild again.

"My piggy senses are tingling we're in definite danger," Oolong stuttered and looked around frantically.

Did he just do a Spiderman reference there?

Bulma growled, "Oolong,less talking and more walking!" she said.

Goku went to a nearby corner and stared.

"Hey buddy, what's up?" I walked beside him.

"It looks clear down this way," he told me.

I looked and agreed. What he said is true and the two of us walked ahead, making the pig complained at us for walking so fast. Bulma shushed him and they followed us.

Once we reached a certain part of the room, I heard a foreign sound and felt my gut tightened. One thought crossed my mind.

Traps.

"Goku, get away from there!" I yelled.

He gave me a confuse look and a millisecond later. A pillar appeared and Goku swiftly jumped away.

Pillars started to come out everywhere in the room, we avoided them as best as we could. However, Bulma got caught in one of the pillars.

"Help me!" she screamed.

Yamcha did a spinning kick and it broke the pillar, Bulma screamed while she fell down and Goku caught her in a nick of time. By then, Goku attacked the pillars making them all a pile of broken pieces.

"Thanks, Go-chan." I pecked his forehead and he smiled.

I smirked once I saw Yamcha in the rubble, he quickly shrugs away the debris and yelled.

"Alright, that does it. Let's go get 'em!"

Bulma ran up to him and snuggled his chest. She thanked him and Yamcha started to shake before yelling like a wimp.

I face-fall on the ground and sweatdropped.

Puar went to Yamcha's side and told him to take a breath, he did so without hesitation and held his chest.

Poor guy.

"Golly," Goku gave the bandit a weird look.

I nodded in agreement and sighed. Soon, we continued walking in the dark halls, but we stayed closer to the walls, fearing that we might get caught up in a trap again.

"Hey, what's that?"

My tailed-friend pointed the pink arrow on the ground.

We stared for a moment and Yamcha spoke up saying it's a trap.

Bulma stepped in, "I don't know, it's too obvious." she said.

Goku went ahead and I followed him, we saw a pink arrow on the ground again.

"Hey, there's another arrow over here." my tailed-friend said.

Our friends stared at us and carefully approached us. I walked casually with them while the other cautiously tiptoed. I wanted to tell them there were no traps since the arrows and all but I decided to enjoy myself by watching them make a fool out of themselves.

A thought came into my mind and I smirked. I'm so evil.

"Duh, duh... duh, duh... duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh!" I sang the Jaws theme while we tipped around.

I can tell that the guys (except Goku) are bothered that I was singing a creepy song. I continued singing and humming the Jaws theme before Goku decided to join me.

"Will you cut that out!" Oolong hissed.

I giggled, "Fine, I'll sing a better one." I grinned creepily.

That's when I started singing 'Old Doll' by Mad Father.

"Leanne!" the others yelled in a loud whisper and I cackled.

"It's not my fault you guys get so scared easily," I laughed, "and you do know we're heading towards the trap, right?"

They glared at me and we soon reached to a dead end.

I whistled, "Dead end." I said.

"Geez, you don't have to tell us that." Oolong grunted

I held Goku's hand and made my way to the exit, "Welp, better get out of here before a trap activa-!"

BAAMMM!

The wall crash down a half meter away from me. I blinked and stared at the wall in front of me.

"Ah, well ya' look at that?" I held my hips and tilted my head.

"Oh no!"

"We're trapped!"

I scoffed, "Told you guys."

"Hey Lea, how do you know that we are heading towards a trap anyway?" Goku asked beside me.

I raised my hands in the air, "Seriously? The pink arrows were too obvious."

"Well, it looks like we're stuck here." Bulma looked around.

I facepalmed, "No shiz, Sherlock."

Oolong wasn't happy at our situation, "Great, now I get to die today too." he grumbled.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why do you seem so upset?"

"Because we're prisoners," the blunette said.

He turned to Bulma, "Oh, don't worry about that. If there's a way in, there's gotta be a way out."

The scientist gave him an upset look, "Goku, they're going to try and kill us!"

Goku and I chuckled, "Scary~" we sang and laughed.

"Don't you both take anything seriously?" Bulma crossed her arms.

I looked at her with a fake offended look, "Hey, I do take things seriously. You just need to chillax, gurl." I gave my usual lopsided grin.

She groaned and facepalmed at me. I grinned wider and snickered along with Goku. We gave each other some fist-bumps and arm hugs.

"Anyway, how about you and Yamcha try to break the walls?" I told my friend and the bandit.

Goku grinned, "That's not a bad idea."

"Yeah," Yamcha nodded and got into a stance. "You ready?"

Goku followed his example, "Let's do it."

"Wolf Fang Fist!"

The two punched the walls beside them. We all sweatdropped seeing what they did was a failure. Yamcha punched the wall a few times while Goku stared his fist and to the wall.

The bandit stopped attacking the wall and leaned on it tiredly, "Hey, I-I didn't put a dent in it. The wall is too strong." he panted.

"Why don't we give it another try?" Goku suggested.

"Don't hurt yourself," Puar said.

Soon the TV in our room switched on, we all turned our attention to it and saw Pilaf's face. I tilted my head to my right and tapped my chin while my other hand is on my hip. I wonder if Pilaf is an alien like Piccolo?

I sat and played around with my backpack. As usual, I didn't pay attention to Pilaf and my friends. However, when I suddenly heard Goku speaking to Yamcha.

"Yamcha, I think I can get him if I dive through that window."

"That's a TV set, you dummy!"

I covered my face on my lap to hide my smile and hysterical giggles. Oh Goku... Soon,I heard a scream in the air. I saw a mechanical arm got Bulma's waist and stole her away from us.

"Ah, there she goes." I said casually, "time to arrange her funeral." I joke dryly.

"Hey, what do they mean 'the treatment'?"

"I think I know,"

I sighed and laid down on the floor. I covered my whole face with my backpack and tried to take a nap.

"What are you doing?!" Yamcha yelled.

I didn't bother to look at him, "Taking a nap."

"How can you act like this while Bulma is being punished!"

I shrugged, "Eh. I know she'll be fine."

"And how do you know that?" Oolong stepped in.

I shrugged and for a while, the trap door on the ceiling opened. I sat up, held out my arms, and caught Bulma. Luckily, I didn't end up squashed by her weight, but I did wince because of it. I carefully put her down and puff out an air.

"Damn," I muttered.

"Hey!" Bulma screamed at me, looking quite offended.

I blinked at her with a dead look, "So that's how you say 'thank you' for catching you? Wow... I feel the love here, nee-chan." I commented.

"Don't get all sarcastic with me, missy." she growled and stood up.

I stuck out my tongue at her and she fumed. By then, yellow smoke sprayed in the room. Everyone one of us coughed and tried to hold our breaths, but we failed and coughed at the sleeping gas.

Everything went black after that.
