Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Jury Duty ❯ Jury Duty ( Prologue )

Disclaimer: All you “experienced readers” out there should know the drill by now. I don't own DB/Z/GT and never will.....blah.....blah......blah. Alright then, on with the show.

 

Jury Duty

 

Mr. Son Gokou,

You have been summoned to the Orange Star County Courthouse to attend as part of the jury. You are expected there by no later than 10:00AM on October 27, 2005. This case is a particularly unusual. The defendant known as Joe Bo has been convicted of murder of 11 civilians by “tickling torture” as it was put. As you can already tell this is going to be a very odd session of court. There are also discussions over if this man is a psycho or a maniac. Either way, he is very unstable.

 

Now, mind you Mr. Son, the expectations of this court are very high. As a member of the jury, it is your responsibility to remain serious at all times. Here in Orange Star County, we have very high standards. You are one of the citizens, and it is a requirement to serve as a jury member at least once during your residence of Japan. Please be aware that you must not feel guilt for the defendant and should stay indifferent, no matter what the final jurisdiction might be.

 

Until then,

Judge Jerry D. Ackermann

 

 

“Uh, Goku dear, did you read this letter?” a troubled ChiChi called out as she clutched the letter, her hands trembling nervously.

 

Her husband practically no idea of what the “law” was, much less jury duty. What did they think they were doing? Serious, indifferent, responsibility..........all words that were definitely in Goku's vocabulary. If they wanted that, why couldn't they just go to Vegeta? They had no idea of the terror they were about to unleash.

 

“What letter are you talking about, Chi? I don't ever get any mail.” Goku questioned.

 

“Well you do now. It's from the court. You have to appear there for jury duty on Thursday.”

 

“What's jury duty........and a court?”

 

Goku put his hand behind his head, showing the infamous Son expression of confusion.

 

ChiChi knew this was going to be hard to explain. “Well, a court is where they put criminals on trial to see if they are innocent or not. Jury duty means that you are part of the group that makes the decision.”

 

“Oh, I get it now! It's like Frieza or the Ginyu Force, right?”

 

“Sure honey, that'll work,” ChiChi sighed, and then she muttered under her breath, “You just go and think that.”

 

“So why don't you go and train now or take Gohan out fishing. He's been itching to go for days.”

 

“Kay', that sounds great! I see you than, Chi!” Goku exclaimed, and then ran out the kitchen door in a flash. Meanwhile, ChiChi flopped her head into her hands, knowing very well of the chaos about to ensue.

 

 

Okay, that's Ch 1 of my little humor fic so far. Hope you enjoy. ^_^
