Stranger in the Mirror Part III

By: L.A. Whitfield

Goku stood behind his wife and watched her as she started lunch. He couldn’t help noticed her cute little motions as she check each spice jar in the cabinet next to the stove. She went over to the cooler and pulled out a head of lettuce. She stood there for a second just looking at it. She seemed a little hesitant to know what to fix. That was odd. She was startled to find him watching her.

“Oh um, hi Goku. Um, aren’t you like, going to go train with Gohan or something dear?” Alicia asked confused also trying to sound as much as possible like Chichi but Chichi would never say, ‘like’ in a sentence like that. Goku never hung around to watch Chichi fix lunch, why was he doing it now all of a sudden. He only came after it was fixed from what she could remember.

He made a funny face that worried her a little bit and stepped up next to her by the sink. He slowly and deliberately brought his hands up around her waist never taking his eyes off of her. Alicia’s suddenly felt her heart speeding up in her chest.

What was he doing?! She thought desperately still holding onto a head of lettuce with shaking hands. He drew her into his arms until she was pressed up against his chest. He was a towering giant while she was a midget compared to him. She had to look straight up, tilting her head all the way back, just to meet his eyes and they looked so beautiful and sexy.

“Hehe....” she began, “Goku sweaty, um what are you doing?” She asked nervously dropping the head of lettuce into the sink, putting both of her hands up against his chest. If he was thinking of starting what she was thinking he was thinking of starting, then she was scared to do death about what she was going to do. She’d never done it before in the real world and this was Goku! A Saiyan!

Goku looked down at his wife with desire. She was the most beautiful woman in the world and she was his. He felt something deep with in him flicker to life. A passion he hadn’t felt in a while. How long has it been? A year?

Alicia wondered why he was doing this. It wasn’t like him to be doing this was it? She kinda liked it though, didn’t she? She blushed at the thought of being naked in front of him. She’s pretty sure he’s seen his wife naked before, but she wasn’t really his wife! True, she had to undress partially early at the doctor’s office but that was different because he never looked at her and she always had a hospital gown on covering everything up.

She gave a startled little gasp as his hands moved down to her butt cheeks and grabbed them. She was about to squeak and push away from him when Gohan saved her.

“Hey dad!” He shouted running into the house. Goku quickly released Chichi and turned pretending to be studying what was inside a pot on the stove. Gohan entered the kitchen and smiled at his parents.

“Um hey, I just ran into Vegeta and he’s demanding that you get your sorry, low third class as* out side right away to spar with him.” Gohan said repeating the other Saiyan’s words.

Goku looked at his son pretending to be surprised and excited by the news. Alicia wondered if he acted like this all the time behind camera. She looked around nervously for a camera at that thought.

“Oh thanks Gohan! Did he say when?” Goku asked stepping away from Alicia giving her a little room to breath again normally. Gohan stood there silent and thought about it for a second and then shook his head.

“Knowing Vegeta dad, he meant right now.” Gohan said laughing. Goku shook his head in agreement and started to follow his son outside. He was secretly relieved Gohan had showed up when he did. He couldn’t believe what he had almost done just a second ago. What had come over him? He was about to start something with Chichi and that was strange because he was never ‘in the mood’ unless it was late at night and they were all alone in bed. What ever was different about her, was also strangely attractive to him for some reason.

As soon as Goku stepped out the door, Alicia sighed out loud and leaned back against the sink. Wow! Not only does she get the chance to meet the person of her dreams but he also wants to make love to her! She would have to be ready for it the next time he came around. For now, she finally had some time alone to herself to think about all that’s happened so far.

As she fixed lunch, she thought about it. As she searched around Chichi’s kitchen for something to fix, she thought about she lucky she was to have taken a home EC, cooking class in school but even with that to help her, she still saw things in Chichi’s kitchen that were totally unfamiliar to her. It looked like she didn’t use much electricity around here and it looked like she was going to have to start a fire inside the stove. Great. This should be fun. She though looking for a box of matched.

She felt around up high on top of the cooler and found some. “Here we go.” She said taking on out. She walked up to the stove and opened the door. She prayed silently to herself it wasn’t a gas stove or anything because she has never operated a gas stove before. As she lit the wood in the stove she thought about what exactly she was going to bake.

How about some roast or something? She thought closing the door to the stove. Yes, that’s what she’ll make. Roast. She saw a roast in the cooler when she was in it earlier. She set the book of matches back on top of the cooler and opened the door. Food filled the shelves from top to bottom and it looked like it never ended.

“Whoa...” She said to herself staring at all the food. It’s amazing there was this much food inside here when there with two very hungry Saiyan’s in the house. She wondered how Chichi did it.

How can they afford all this food she wondered grabbing the big roast at the bottom. She picked it up and nearly fell over it was so heavy.

“HMMMPHHH!” She grunted lifting the roast up onto the counter. She wiped her head and smiled.

“Ok, now we need the potatoes, the carrots, the onions, celery, and a bunch of spices!” She said walking back to the cooler. She opened up one of the vegetable drawers at the bottom and found exactly what she was looking for. Some carrots, a few stocks of celery and an onion.

“Cool.” She said pulling them out. “Now for the potatoes!” She said walking back to the table where she laid the other stuff. She started to hum to herself contentedly as she worked. Much like Chichi would do. She was actually having a good time! She wondered if she was enjoying this because she was suppose to be Chichi. Maybe she some how carried over some of Chichi’s traits when they switched places. She thought as she searched for a bag of potatoes.

She really wasn’t in Chichi’s body she discovered. It only looked like she was in Chichi’s body which meant that if Chichi traded places with her, then everybody back in her world was seeing her (Alicia) but it was really Chichi they were looking at. She couldn’t stop thinking about what Chichi was doing to destroy her life back home. She was really worried about it. What was Chichi doing right now?

Back home in the real world...

“ALICIA CALM DOWN!” Christina screamed hiding behind her friends bed post. Alicia got up on top of her bed and chunked another CD at her. She picked up another one from her night stand and also chunked it at her.

Christina stared down at the smashed CD on the floor and picked up a piece. She looked at her best friend hurt.

“Hey, I got this for your birthday Alicia!. I thought this was your favorite CD.” She said sadly hold it up. Chichi jumped off the bed and found some more stuff the thrash.

CRASH!! SMASH!! BASH!!!

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” Chichi screamed throwing another picture at Christina. Christina ducked barely in time as the picture impacted in the wall behind her. She looked up at the wall above her and gasped. The picture was stuck half way in the wall. Alicia had gone completely WACKO!

“WHERE AM I AND WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING ME ALICIA! MY NAME IS CHICHI NOT ALICIA! YOU BETTER TELL ME WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I’LL...” She was cut off as Alicia’s mother burst into her room. She stopped and stared in horror at the mess that was once her daughter’s very neat room. Christina ran and cowered behind Mrs. Robinson.

“Alicia! Have you gone mad! What the hell is going on in here?!” She screamed at her enraged daughter.

Chichi scowled and approached the woman screaming at her. Christina screamed and ran out of the room for her life. Chichi stopped in front of her and put her hands on her hips.

“WHERE AM I AND JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!!” She screamed into the woman’s face. She was totally stunned when Mrs. Robinson slapped her sharply across the face knocking her to the ground and leaving a huge red mark on her face. Mrs. Robinson looked extremely sorry for a split second but then quickly hardened her face. She was really mad at Alicia.

For the first time in her life since her own mother, Chichi met a woman with a wrath greater than her own. She just stared at Mrs. Robinson.

“I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOTTEN INTO YOU YOUNG LADY, BUT YOUR GROUNDED FOR A MONTH WITHOUT TV, AND I EXPECT YOU TO HAVE THIS ROOM STRAIGHTENED OUT BY THE TIME I COME BACK IN HERE!!” Mrs. Robinson said slamming the door in her daughter’s shocked face.

Chichi was speechless. She stood there and held her cheek. This hell with this! She thought turning around and climbing out the bedroom window. Outside, she ran into the little girl she had been screaming at earlier. The girl screeched in terror and ran away from her but Chichi caught up to her.

“Wait please!” She said grabbing her arm. Christina screamed again and tried to get away. Just then, Jason walked up to them looking really upset.

“Alicia, listen to me! I know you think I was cheating on you back there but I wasn’t! That was my cousin Robin and she had picked me up from school early! We were going to come by to pick you up but the time flew by so fast I didn’t realize what time it was until I heard you scream and almost get hit by that car!” He said this all in one breath.

Chichi stopped and stared at him.

“What are you talking about?!” She asked glaring at him. Jason took a step back at the look she was giving him. Christina hid behind Jason and started to whimper. He looked back at Christina and raised his eye brows questionably.

“Run Jason! It’s not Alicia! Something had invaded her body! I don’t know what, but it’s a monster!” Christina screamed pulling on his arm to get him to run away with her. Jason laughed and peeled Christina’s had from his arm.

“I don’t know what she’s talking about Alicia, but I’m really sorry about what happened early. You’ve got to believe me.” He said stepping up next to her and then grabbed her around the waist. Chichi was too stunned to move at first but then her instincts took over.

*SLAP!!* This time, Jason was knocked onto the ground. He sat there stunned for the second time that day and held his already bruised cheek. Christina started backing up from Chichi and then ran for it. Chichi let her go. She had other fish to fry now...

Back in DBZ land...

An hour later after many mistakes and a big pile of dirty dishes, lunch was finally ready. She opened the door going outside and called, “COME AND GET IT!!” In no time at all two very hungry Saiyan’s zipped through the door and sat down at the table drooling over their empty plates. Alicia giggled and grabbed a pot holder. They watched her every move anxiously. She giggled again and picked up the big pot of roast on top of the stove.

“Here we go boys!” She said setting it down in front of them. “Be careful though, it’s a little hot.” She warned. This did not slow them down however as they both attacked the pot like a bunch of wild animals that haven’t eaten in months!

Goku, trusting in his wife’s cooking completely began shoveling the food into his mouth without a second thought. When his taste buds had time to catch up with his stomach though he nearly began to choke on the food in his mouth. Gohan also stopped eating and sat there staring at his place looking a little green around the collar. They sat there like that for a few minutes in total shock. Alicia felt like screaming and running from the kitchen but she didn’t. The only thing she could do was stand there and wait for one of them to say something.

Finally Goku managed to blink and slowly set his spoon down in his bowl. Never in his entire life, had he tasted anything sooo horrible. He couldn’t believe it was his Chichi that fixed it. She just stood there waiting for him to say something. What could he say? This was going to be very hard. He didn’t want Chichi upset. (I think we all know what happens when Chichi gets upset!)

He smiled faintly and looked at Chichi. She looked like she was going to break down crying any second. This upset him more than the food.

“Chichi? Um, it wasn’t that bad...” He said carefully and very slowly but his stomach was already starting to hurt. Gohan braced himself, ready to run for it if his mom exploded but she didn’t. Instead she nodded and apologized much to their disbelief.

“I’m sorry. I’m soo sorry.” She whispered and ran away. Goku groaned and Gohan continued to stare out the open door. Goku slowly got up minding his sour stomach and walked outside. He scanned around for Chichi but couldn’t spot her anywhere. He then decided to center on her chi so that he could teleport to her. He knew she probably wanted to be left alone, but he was worried about her.

He brought his hand up to his forehead and centered on her. Again, something wasn’t quite right about it but he could worry about that later.

“Chichi!” he called now standing in the woods. He heard some sobbing up ahead a just a little bit and finally spotted her sitting down on the ground against a tree. Here goes he thought.

Back at the Son’s house...

Gohan carefully picked up his bowl and tossed the remaining contents of his food outside. Even Hickerish wouldn’t eat it.

“I don’t blame you Hickerish. It is pretty awful isn’t it?” He said petting Hickerish’s nose. Hickerish made a cute little sound and nudged Gohan.

“Sorry Hickerish but I can’t go flying right now. Mom is pretty upset right now, so I better go study.” Gohan said sighing. Hickerish understood this and took off to play alone.

When Gohan turned around he came face to face with the cloaked figure. Before he could say anything, a hand shot out of it’s cloak and grabbed him around the next completely cutting off his air way. Gohan tried to pull his hands away but he was far too strong for him. In seconds, he lost consciousness.

As Gohan laid there helpless on the ground, the cloaked figure began to laugh evilly. (that evil laugh again) He picked Gohan up and disappeared back into the portal that just opened up. As the portal closed a black mist swirled around them until they were gone.
