Phoning Bugman

Calling

"Hey, mom?"

Everyone in the group stopped what they were doing and looked at you. Your irises are glowing yellow and you mouths everything with the voice of a young guy. Grumpy seems to remember something while Bluey approaches you, hands and knees, and asks in a sure tone.

"Are you talking to me or Bunny?"

"Yes. I am looking at you right now. Mom, it's me. Trunks. Your older son. Where are you? You suddenly appeared on TV and I KNOW it is you." Bluey blinks and raises her hands.

"Wait, wait. I am a mother? Of more than one kid? I sure don't have the curves for them." The kid grunts.

"Mom! You and dad are trapped there with a few foes and alleys. Listen, I am g-..." Nothing. Bunny's eyes stop glowing and she looks at Bluey with confusion.

"Well, he could at least say who his dad was. Right?" You say and scratch your head. She looks at Happy and smiles shyly. She might already know who that is. You look at Whi--, you mean Lord Frieza and tilt your head to a side. "So we are not all friends? Well, can we all stay friends after we get our memories back?" Grumpy stares at the ground, looking distressed by who knows what thought. You look around and ask again. "Ah, guys?" People get up silently and walk to their corners of the company.

You huff and put out the fire and start walking. In the dark you bump into something hard but fleshy. "Oh, sorry." You say. Something bends and gets to your level and starts to talk. You think you might know who is talking but you are not entirely sure who. A guy for sure.

"Bunny, tell me. What do women want?" You blink in the darkness, eyes adjusting to the darkness. Your eyes light up for a moment, enough to see who is talking. It is grumpy.

"Well," Your eyes move from your left to your right in rapid motions. "If I remember correctly, you should ask the woman. They are as diverse as they are complicated. I wish I knew." Your eyes stop moving and turn off. "Is it because of Bluey? Approach her as an equal. I would like to be talked with respect and patience. Also compliment her in her smarts. Say something like..." You cup your own chin and think. Your eyes move from left to right again but in the dark. "Like, you appreciate all the work she does and you want to help her." You keep talking but you don't notice that after the advice on what to say, Grumpy left and someone else approaches you.

"Who are you talking to?" Says a voice from behind you, making you jump in place. The voice sounds deep so you assume it is Cell or Green.

"Oh, hi. I was giving Grumpy some advice. Maybe he left already?" You laugh awkwardly. "I should go to sleep. Sorry if woke you up." You put your hands infront of you and feel your way around. An appendage sliders up your leg, pulling you down and dragging closer to the chuckling voice. It gets higher in pitch.

"So, you would like to know I remember about us and your silly attempts of making me not destroy planets." You gasp and your eyes turn on just to illuminate Frieza from below. "And how you swore loyality to ME." He looks angry, but smiles. "So you will make me company and do everything I say. Possibly convince everyone I am their ruler. You were always good with words. Almost made me become..." He looks like the words he is about to say are bitter in his mouth. "Less dangerous."

You grab his tail and bit to it, making him yell and alerting someone nearby. Someone scoops you up with a hand and pulls you close to a hard chest, moving away fast before your eyes turn off and Frieza gather a big ball of energy in his fingertip. Dark purple light chases you and your savior. Whoever they are, hits the ball back to sender, making a big explosion. You get taken away the facility through a gap of the ceiling and fly away. You turn and look up to see who took you.

"Cell!" You exclaim with joy and hug his big frame. He chuckles.

"He was overstepping his boundaries. Well, I can't let my little partner get destroyed." You place a hand on your chest, holding in your breathing. He was implying...? "My travel partner, that is." You close your eyes tightly. Of course, you two are friends. It is great, isn't it? Your closed eyes made you miss a faint purple blush on his cheeks.
