A Very Veggie Valentine's Day

 

 

Part 2. Breakfast With U

 

 

“Shut out the sunlight to illuminate the bedroom?” Goku asked himself out loud, his hand going straight behind his head to scratch that ever-prevailing itch in bewilderment.

 

`Sound more like instructions more than a clue though…how will shutting out the sunlight illuminate something?' puzzled Goku, a slight frown setting itself on his face. `I mean, you close curtains or blinds and a room will grow dark won't it?'

 

Groaning as he reread the note for any hints, of which there were none, Goku realised this was only one clue.

 

`There are others?!' boggled Goku. `Just how many has he made?'

 

However, the broad Saiyan's train of thought was soon interrupted by the infamous ominous growl of his own stomach.

 

`Heheheh. Better get something to eat.' Thought Goku. `Maybe I'll think better on a full stomach. If that'll help me…'

 

Folding and stuffing the clue into the elastic waistband of his boxers, for lack of a better place to put it, Goku heaved himself to his feet from the toilet seat, and ambled downstairs to the kitchen, having on need to worry about intruders because firstly, he didn't care and secondly, Bulma had given Vegeta and him a small section of the complex to live in. Opening up the giant Saiyan sized fridge, Goku picked out his breakfast, an ample amount of indistinguishable leftovers for his Saiyan appetite.

 

Plonking himself (and the colossal mound of food) down at the table, Goku dug in with voracity of any hungry Saiyan, ripping the meat off various cold animal joints, flinging the bones into the bin, attacking the solid hunk of brightly coloured cheese and digging into the bowl of meaty substance he'd found.

 

Abruptly he stopped, taste buds on fire, and jumped out of his chair to run over to the fridge.

 

`Ahhhh, last nights chilli con carne.' Goku realised as he open the fridge door. `Milk? No. Purple stuff? No. Soda? No. Ooh, Sunny D!'

 

Ripping off the entire top off the neck of the bottle, ignoring the concept of a lid, and downing his drink in panic, Goku sighed as the cool, sweet drink soothed his taste buds.

 

`Much better.'

 

Goku finished eating the rest of his leftovers, his stomach growling contently as his spoon rattled to a halt in his empty chilli bowl, and he downed the rest of his drink.

 

`Right.' Thought Goku resolutely. `Lets see want I've got to do here.'

 

Grabbing the clue from his waistband, Goku opened it up again, reading the instructions to refresh his not- so- magnificent memory.

 

“Shut out the sunlight to illuminate the bedroom.” He repeated to himself, trying to make sense of the hint.

 

`Hmmm. Well, I can see it's telling me go to the bedroom, so I'll do that first…' he deduced as traipsed back up the stairs to their room, stepping in and pulling the door to behind him.

 

Looking like a lost tourist reading a map, Goku peered down at the note with bewilderment.

 

`Ok, I'm in the bedroom. Something about shutting out the sunlight…' as Goku mulled over the clue, the sun streamed through the window.

 

`The blinds! I shut out the sunlight with the blinds!'

 

A giant, self-satisfied grin landed on the hefty Saiyan's face as he realised what the clue meant. Goku practically bounded over the window, grabbing the cord. After a brief struggle, of trying to get the rebellious cord to cooperate with his hand of justice, Goku finally got the blinds down, enveloping the two Saiyans' bedroom in semi- darkness.

 

`Well, that didn't do anything.' Concluded Goku with disappointment.

 

Walking dejectedly over to the over side of the room to the door again, intent on turning on the light better see the clue again, Goku found that as he flipped the switch, nothing happened.

 

`Huh? What's going on?' wondered Goku in bewilderment. `Maybe there's been a power outage or something. Or the perhaps the bulb's blown out?'

 

Goku paced nearer the centre of the room, peering upwards to examine the broken light.

 

`Hey! It's gone!' realised Goku indignantly. `Vegeta must have took it out…wonder why?'

 

Plonking himself down onto the side of the bed, next to the bedside table, Goku flicked on the light switch so he had sufficient light to examine it by.

 

`I still don't see any other leads from this. Although from the bulb missing, it is likely the clue is still going to be in this room…' Goku despaired. `I still have no idea though, and I'm not going to resort to tearing this place apart! Bulma would kill me.'

 

In exasperation, the hefty Saiyan threw himself on his back on the plush, spacious bed. Closing his eyes, he sighed as he inhaled his mate's scent that still lingered on the covers.

 

`Ahhhhh. Vegeta. What on earth are you doing to me, tormenting me like this?'

 

Reluctantly opening his eyes from his reverie, Goku stared at the dimly lit ceiling…that currently had chunky black writing on it.

 

Blinking, not quite believing what he saw, Goku read the writing on the ceiling.

 

`Hey, the next clue! Why is it on the ceiling? He didn't say anything about a ceiling.'

 

Sitting up on the side of the bed, Goku leaned over to the lamp, which on closer inspection had a note, written on a very thin type of layout paper O, in black pen, taped on the inside of the top of the lampshade, over the bulb, causing it to project writing onto the ceiling above. Reaching gingerly down, he gently pulled out the note, as not to rip the fragile paper, nor burn his own hand on the scorching hot bulb, so that he could see it more clearly, and read it without craning his neck.

 

`He must have meant turn on the light when he said, “to illuminate the room.”' Realised Goku with glee. `And that why he took out the overhead light bulb, so I'd have to turn on the lamp.'

 

Grinning in self-satisfaction, Goku turned over the flimsy scrap of paper, and read out the solid black-marker writing on it.

 

`Kakarot.

Well done, having solved the first riddle of this little “treasure hunt”, the second clue awaits you:

 

“Behind a giant U.” '

 

“Another clue?” grumbled Goku. “At this rate, I'll never find him…”

 

 

 

 

O To anyone who doesn't know what layout paper is, it is basically a very thin kind of cheap paper artists or engineers use when drawing drafts. It can be thin enough to project light through.
