Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction / Kimagure Orange Road Fan Fiction / Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Blast from the past ❯ The stage is set ( Chapter 2 )

5:15 pm. City of Darko.

“What a tired day!” Allen Schezar sighed as he walked out of the police station. “Wish I could have a day off. Criminals, criminals, criminals… what a sick society.”

“Well, that’s our job to make this society more healthy, right? If we don’t do these, then we just become another kind of criminal in this society.” Vega responses to his partner and mentor, Allen.

Both Allen and Vega are detectives. They are among the top-ranked young detectives in the country. Both of them are handsome, well-built and have golden long hair.

“Yup, ya right. Wanna have a drink?” Allen asked

“Sure…”

Right before Vega answers “sure”, Allen cell phone rings.

“Hello? Hey, what’s up?”

“Allen, another robbery occurs. It’s similar to the 6 robberies that happened last month in the Shinko area. This time, it’s in your region. Darko Bank, located west of the Darko mall.”

“Hmm… okay. Me and Vega will be there in a minute. Over and out.”

“Another robbery again?” Vega asked.

“Yup. Darko Bank. Similar to what happened last month in Shinko. Interesting…” Allen murmurs, then sink into a deep thought.

Osaka. 8:25 pm.
The platform of the Osaka subway station is so dirty and misty. Deep inside the dark, gloomy tunnel –a train is approaching.

“Finally… it starts. The stage is all set.”
“Finally, the light at the end of the tunnel is here....”
“But who knows whether the light of the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train?”
“Even if it is so… then so what?”

Finally, the train stops at the station and the doors opened. A chilly breeze slowly finds its way and wander around the station.

12/6, Friday

“Can’t believe you win this! WOW!” Amy, one of Bulma’s best friends in school screamed.

“But… I am a little concern about the security stuff… it sounds like a scam or something like that…” Bulma said.

“Don’t worry. I have friends living in the Shikoku area and I know that it’s a very nice and safe city. I’ve never heard of the EGNever winter resort, but you can go check out over the internet or something and find out more about that hotel. Plus, you got to bring one guest right? I would lie if I say I don’t want to go with you, but… my parents already got plans for me in Christmas.” Amy sighs sadly.

“I really want to go to Mt. Konaki… but anyway, you can bring a guy to protect you, right? Arrggghh, what’s your ‘guardian’ name? Vegetabe or something?”

“He’s Vegeta”, Bulma shot back at Amy.

“I’m just kidding…”

“And he’s not my guardian… we’re good friends. He’s like a big brother to me…” Bulma never told Amy about her true feelings towards Vegeta, even though there’s almost nothing that Amy and Bulma won’t talk about.

“Anyway,”, Bulma concludes, “I will do some research about this hotel and see if this invitation is reliable. And you are right that I will try to get Vegeta to go with me. He’s strong and he can protect me”. Bulma smiles brightly.

A few hours late…

“Wow, so fast. Vegeta…”, as Bulma checked her e-mail, Vegeta already gave her a reply.

“Sure I will love to have a getaway with you. School and work are busy as hell here… but I look forward to spend time with you! The invitation is a great thing!!! How did you win that? That way we don’t need to have headache to plan to go somewhere! I know Mt. Konaki. It’s beautiful! Just reply to Mr. Kabyap and the resort and see what info they send you. I don’t think there’s much risk… We can just leave if anything unusual happen over there… … …”

As Bulma read thru Vegeta’s reply, a warm feeling rush thru her body. The thought of being with Vegeta in a winter resort near Mt. Konaki is too good to dream of.

Bulma walked back home as rays of sunlight graced her face. Even though it’s cold and brisk outside, the sun shine brightly upon her face. Right now, nothing can’t flush away her warm feelings and sweet dreams.
