Matchmaker from hell pt.3

“One! Two! THREE!!!” Tien used the Heimlich maneuver again and again on Goku trying to get him to cough up the ring. Goku made heaving and choking sounds as Tien forced the air out of him.

“I can’t-! UGH! Breath-! OOF! Tien-! ARGH!” Goku managed to say.

Tien let Goku go. Goku collapsed on the ground coughing.

“Man… he just won’t throw up that ring!” Chow-su exclaimed.

“Yeah… but I think I’m gonna throw up something else!” Goku mumbled as he keeled over.

Piccolo, Tien, Chow-su and Gohan looked away in disgust as Goku disposed of the contents of his stomach. After he was done he stumbled to his feet. “Is it in there?” Gohan asked a little green. “No.” Everyone sighed.

“Isn’t there an easier way…?” Goku asked wearily.

Everyone sweat-dropped with a clueless expression on their faces.

“I have a way.”

Gohan turned around in surprise. “Piccolo? Are you sure? I mean…”

“Yes I’m sure!” He snapped. “It’s the only way!”

Goku looked at Piccolo a little fearfully.

“W-what are you gonna do…?” He whimpered. An evil grin spread across Piccolo’s face.

“You’ll see Son Goku, you’ll see…” He said grinning at Goku.

Goku yelped and hid behind Gohan.

“MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!” Piccolo laughed evilly.

Everyone shot him a strange look. Piccolo stopped laughing and cleared his throat.

*Ahem* “Um… let’s begin.” Piccolo said as he blushed a slight shade of purple.

Goku clutched Gohan as they followed Piccolo. Tien tapped Gohan on the shoulder.

Gohan turned around. “What?”

Tien made a drinking motion and then pointed to Piccolo who was mumbling to himself.

Gohan smiled sheepishly and shrugged.

“Alright! We’re here. Goku, I need you to sit right here. I’ll be back… in a few minutes.”

Piccolo said mischievously. Goku sat on the rock turning a pale shade of green.

Gohan went over to comfort his father. “It’s okay dad, it probably won’t be as bad compared to what mom would have done to you.” Gohan whispered. Goku paled.

“T-thanks Gohan.” He whimpered. “That makes me feel a whole lot better.”

ChiChi gasped sharply as she felt something hit her in the back. Vegeta was half way out the door ignoring her when he heard her gasp out. He turned around and his eyes widened.

ChiChi blinked and suddenly cried out as she felt the bow’s power overwhelming the love she had for Goku. She clutched her head in her hands and fell to her knees gasping.

Without thinking Vegeta rushed to her side with a worry he couldn’t control. He knelt to her side and grabbed her by the shoulders. “What happened!?” He asked bewildered.

ChiChi breathed deeply and tried to hold herself together.

“N-nothing… I’m fine I…” ChiChi looked up at Vegeta and trailed off. Vegeta looked at her with a confused look on his face. ChiChi blinked and stared.

Vegeta let go of her and got up taking a step back. “I…I’ll just leave.” He said his face contorted in hurt. He gave her one last look as he closed the door behind him.

The pixie’s eyes widened with confusion.

“Wha…? What is going on…? ARGH! Hey girly! Go after him before he might do something a little drastic! He might even kill himself! I’ve seen it!” It screamed.

But ChiChi was oblivious to anything around her. She slowly rose to her feet.

“Vegeta…” She said to herself. She stumbled towards the door and struggled to open it.

She finally got it open and ran outside as fast as she could go. She spotted Vegeta sitting on a rock on a hill. ChiChi ran towards him running for all she was worth. She stopped behind him panting for breath. She looked at his backside. He sat facing away with his head in his hands. ChiChi felt a strange sensation come over her and a strong sense of hurt and pity towards Vegeta. “Vegeta…” She whispered out to him. Vegeta slowly turned around and looked at her his face filled with hurt. “What do you want?” He asked bluntly and without feeling.

ChiChi cringed at his tone of voice. “I’m sorry.” She said quietly.

“No your not.” He said bitterly as he turned away again. “Just let me be.”

Tears welled up in ChiChi’s eyes. “I said I’m sorry. I didn’t mean what I said back there. None of it.” “Yes you did, especially that part about you and…Kakarot.” He said with no emotion.

“That’s where you’re wrong.”

Vegeta’s eyes widened with surprise as he turned around again. “What do you mean?”

ChiChi walked right up to his face. “I mean I don’t love Goku, as much…”

Vegeta gawked at her in utter shock. “W-what?”

ChiChi knelt closer until she was face to face with him.

“As much as I love you.”

“Alright Goku, this is it. Just stay calm.” Chow-su said trying to calm Goku down.

“Y-yeah! I’ll be fine! Just fine! Hey look it’s Krillan!” Goku shouted as he pointed towards the sky.

Sure enough Krillan hovered down to the ground.

“Hey guys! Hi Goku! What’s up? You look a little pale.” Krillan commented as he examined Goku’s face. “We’re trying to get him to cough up ChiChi’s wedding ring.” Tien said shaking his head.

“Man Goku! How on Earth did you manage to do that!?” Krillan exclaimed.

“I don’t wanna talk about it.” Goku grumbled. “Right now I’m scared enough of what Piccolo’s going to do to me.”

“Piccolo’s going to help? Woah… far out.” Krillan said surprised.

“Alright! Everyone stand back!” Piccolo shouted. Everyone’s jaw almost hit the floor.

Piccolo was wearing a black tux and had a pair of glasses on and was holding a pendulum watch. “PICCOLO!!?!?!” Gohan screamed. “What are you doing!?”

Piccolo fixed his tie. “Humph! I saw this on TV. This guy used a pendulum thingy like this and hypnotized a guy into thinking he was a woman.”

Tien bent down to whisper in Chow-su’s ear. “Piccolo watches TV!?!?!” He asked incredulous.

“Alright Piccolo,” Krillan said trying his best not to laugh. “But what’s with the suit!?”

Piccolo crossed his arms and glared at him. “I’m trying to get as much affect as that guy! Why else would I wear such stupid clothes!?” Krillan and Gohan burst out laughing.

Piccolo tensed and a vein popped up on his forehead as he grit his teeth.

“SHUT UP!!!” He screamed. Krillan jumped into Tien’s arms scared out of his wits and Gohan almost pissed himself.

“Now then, let’s begin.” Piccolo said in a surprisingly gentle, calm and soothing voice.

Goku who was totally freaking out tried not to scream at Piccolo’s appearance and voice.

Piccolo sat on a rock in front of Goku and held the pendulum watch up to Goku’s face.

“Ooohhh…. shiny…” Goku murmured as he reached out to touch it.

“Don’t touch it!” Piccolo snapped as he slapped Goku’s hands away. “It took me two hours just to shine it!” Goku whimpered and withdrew his hands bringing them in front of his face protectively. Gohan’s face turned red from embarrassment. ‘Oh dad, I’m so ashamed.’ Gohan thought shaking his head. “Alright Goku.” Piccolo said his gentle tone returning. “Just relax.”

Goku stopped his whimpering and slowly pulled his hands away from his face. “O-okay Piccolo.” He whimpered. “Just don’t do anything…drastic okay?” Piccolo ignored him.

“Now I want you to look at this watch, and nothing else, understand?” Goku actually seemed to be thinking about it and then finally nodded his head. “Good.” Piccolo said wearily.

“Now keep your eyes on it, don’t look away.” Piccolo said soothingly as he started to swing the watch. Goku’s eyes followed it as Krillan, Gohan, Tien and Chow-su watched anxiously.

“You are starting to feel sleepy, your eyelids are starting to get heavy, you’re getting tired…” Piccolo said in a low relaxing voice. Goku continued following the swinging watch. Piccolo grinned triumphantly as Goku’s eyelids came half way over his eyes.

“Wow…” Krillan whispered to Gohan. “Piccolo’s pretty good at this! It’s working!”

Gohan nodded as he watched in surprise. Goku’s eyes finally closed. Piccolo stopped swinging the watch and looked at Goku with a grin on his face.

“Goku, if you can hear me, say yes.” Piccolo said his voice still low and relaxing.

“Yes.” Goku mumbled.

Tien’s eyes widened. “Cool…” Chow-su said amazed.

“Tell me Goku, why won’t you cough up that wedding ring?”

Goku seemed to be pausing in his trance like state.

“B-because…it’s stuck.” Goku mumbled. Piccolo’s eyes widened a little.

“Show me where Goku.” Goku’s hand slowly raised and he pointed right below his Adam’s apple.

Krillan stared in shock. He knelt down next to Piccolo and whispered something in his ear.

Piccolo nodded and turned towards Goku again.

“Goku, are you still there?”

“Yes.” Goku mumbled. “Good. If it’s stuck there Goku, how come you can still breathe?” Piccolo asked. Goku seemed to be pondering again. “I think…I think that Saiyan bodies are built differently than humans.” He murmured. Tien nudged Krillan. “He sounds more intelligent when he’s asleep!”

Piccolo shook his head at Goku. “Goku, I want you to cough up that ring. Do it now.”

Goku sat there not saying a word. “Goku?” Piccolo said frowning.

“I-I can’t to that,” he mumbled. “What?! Why!?” Piccolo demanded.

“Piccolo! Shhh!!!” Gohan whispered with his finger to his lips.

“Why can’t you?” Piccolo asked calmly. “B-because, it’s stuck.”

Piccolo’s eye twitched. He was starting to lose his patience. “I know it’s stuck Goku,” he said between clenched teeth. “But why can’t you TRY to cough it up?”

Goku seemed to be thinking again. “Because…it’s stuck.”

“ARGH!” Piccolo rubbed his temples trying not to kill something.

“Alright Goku, I want you to think of a way to cough it back up, understand?” Piccolo said trying to maintain control. “Yes.” Goku said bluntly.

Gohan sighed. “Alright, now all we have to do is wait.”

1 hour later…

Piccolo sat there staring at Goku with bloodshot eyes. Everyone else had sprawled themselves out on the floor to tired to get up.

Piccolo looked terrible to say the least. His black jacket had been thrown off, a side of his crumpled white shirt hung from his pants, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, his tie was loosened, his glasses perched up on his forehead, and for the final touches two nice big black circles under his eyes. He hadn’t moved from where he was sitting at all.

“Goku…” He croaked. “Are you still there…?”

Goku nodded, still in his trance like state.

“Have you thought of anything yet?” He asked wearily.

“I can’t.” Goku mumbled. Piccolo jumped up from where he was sitting.

“WHY NOT!?!” He screamed.

“Because…it’s stuck.”

Piccolo let out a scream of rage as he crushed the pendulum watch in his fist.

“WAKE UP SO I CAN KICK YOUR ASS!!!” Piccolo said half insane.

Goku opened his eyes. “Huh…? Oh hi Krillan! We’re trying to get ChiChi’s ring out of my tummy, wanna help?” Goku asked cheerfully as if nothing had happened.

Piccolo screamed in rage and lunged towards Goku. Before Goku could blink he felt a fist slam into his guts knocking the wind out of him. But that wasn’t the only thing.

The ring was hurled from Goku’s throat as it went flying at blinding speed. Piccolo couldn’t even blink as the ring skinned his face leaving at trail of blood and then embedding itself in a tree trunk.

Goku fell over gasping for air.

“Hey Piccolo! You did it!” Gohan said joyfully as he pulled it out of the tree and slipped it over his finger. Piccolo blinked, stunned.

“Man!” Goku said coughing as he got up from the ground.

“I could never have taken that out!”

“Why’s that?” Chow-su asked.

“Because it was stuck!”

Piccolo balled his fists at Goku and shook with anger.

Goku looked at him and gave him an innocent look.

“What?”

“AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
