| ~Chapter 2: Puppets~ For a while they stared at the two dolls that stood on the platform reaching to each other. 'They look so real.' Bulma said while she inspected the girl doll. She wore a cute pink dress and red-white socks that reached above her knees. Bulma then looked at the boy doll. He wore brown trousers and above that a white-blue striped T- shirt. Both of the dolls had strange clownish make-up on. Bulma circled around the blue box in the hope of finding out more about this thing. When she came to the back of the box she noticed a winder. She tried to move it but she wasn't strong enough to wind the oldness out of the winder. She didn't move it one inch. She stopped pulling and asked (partially ordered) Vegeta to wind it for her. He did not say a thing and just did what was asked of him. 'Don't use too much power. I don't want it to be broken by you showing of that you're mighty.' Bulma mockingly remarked. Again he looked at her angrily and said to her that he was far more powerful than being able to pull a lever. When he let go of the winder, music started to sound from the box. Bulma jumped to the other side of the music-making box and exclaimed a 'wow'. She ran back to Vegeta and pulled him in front of the music box. 'Look at this, look at them.' She said pointing at the two dolls that were now dancing. Even though their moves were stiffly, they still looked very realistic. Vegeta watched them, not caring. Suddenly Bulma's eyes fell on an inscription behind the dolls. It was a metal plate screwed to the back of the music box. She climbed on the platform, crawled between the dolls and pushed herself against the wall to let the dolls dance their dance. Her face was very close to the plate, but she could still read what was on it. In order to revive dolls in music box You need: A woman to chant the first two lines A man for the last two lines Repeat the following words: I shall be wired to music I shall be a dancing prince I shall be wired to music I shall be a dancing princess In order to break the spell completely You need to destroy the magical music box. 'Hey Vegeta, can you say something for me?' 'I don't have to say anything for you, woman.' Bulma sighed. 'You'll like the lines, just say: I shall be wired to music, I shall be a dancing prince. That's all you have to say. Please?' Vegeta raised an eyebrow. 'Fine.' He sighed. 'I shall be wired to music; I shall be a dancing prince.' After that he stated that he, 'was indeed a prince but that he didn't dance.' Bulma smiled and said the other lines. She then crawled to the edge of the platform and climbed of it. There she studied the dolls for any changes. After a few seconds the dolls started moving in a different way. The girl started singing while she jumped off the platform. Her moves were now more real and flexible. She danced towards Bulma and took her hand. They both started dancing. Bulma laughed and happily danced with the living doll. Vegeta looked at the two with a smirk on his face. Strange woman. If this is her idea of fun then she is easily pleased. Then the boy jumped of the platform and also started singing. He danced towards Vegeta and swirled around him. The girl let go of Bulma and danced to the boy doll. They locked hands and danced together through the ballroom. 'Thank Kami he was not planning on dancing with me.' Vegeta stated, looking at Bulma who was still dancing. She slowly approached Vegeta and took his hands into hers. She pulled him close and spun around with him. Vegeta didn't exactly want to do this, but he couldn't control himself. He danced with Bulma in circles, not noticing the darkness that began to form around them. They still felt like they were dancing when the music stopped and they were placed on the platform. They didn't notice that their bodies were frozen. They didn't notice that they had traded places with the dolls and had become dolls themselves. <<-- -->> |
