He comes to rest in front of a short cricket-sapien in toga-type clothing. He’s got on a pair of round black shades. He has an odd smile on his face. "Yes, Bubbles, today is a very exciting day! Our newest recruits are FINALLY ready! I can’t believe how strong they are, stronger than even Goku!" Bubbles squeaks and nods. Soon, a 6-foot tall wolf-sapien with soft blue fur walks out, wearing a very nice verdant green uniform, like Goku wears. He keeps looking it over, his pleasant emerald eyes sparkling. He looks a little too attractive to be a fighter. "Hmmm... I just don’t know King Kai. The color is nice enough, but this symbol on the back just doesn’t work for me. What is it again?" "Hey, that’s MY symbol!" "Can’t I get a Pikachu or a Vulpix or something?? They’re SO kyoote!" "NO! I trained you! ME! Not a chance on Earth I’d let you put a yellow, girly thing on your clothes!" Ricku frowns, lower lip quivering. "It’s a guy! A guy I tell you!" King Kai sighs lethargically. "All right. I’m sorry. But the symbol on the back is of a wolf and I think it suits you well enough... hee hee, I made another joke! Get it? ‘Suit’? UNIFORM? Buaahahahahahaahahahah!!!!" King Kai breaks down into a fit of snorts and giggles. He only calms when he notices two sets of eyes staring at him with a look of disbelief. He clears his throat, a bead of sweat trailing down his forehead. "Ahem. Yeah. Anyway, just come over so we can see how everything looks on you." Ricku bounces forward, a little TOO cheery. "Want me to do a twirl so you can get a better look? Don’t I make coooooooooooooooooooooooooooolest Special Forces person???" King Kai’s bead of sweat grows larger and larger as he watches Ricku dance around like a little schoolgirl. "Um... yeah. Well... that’s very... yeah... nice and all but you can stop now... just... stop... I said... stop... OH WILL YOU STOP IT ALREADY!!!!" Ricku freezes, his eyes tearing up. King Kai soon breaks down. "Awwww... I’m sorry... you can dance around like a fairy princess all you want!" Ricku smiles, a sunny expression filling his face. King Kai does the same, and Bubbles squeaks with excitement. Their smiles fade however, when there is a huge scream from within the house. Standing in the doorway wrapped in only a pink towel is a gorgeous Border Collie mix. The sun melts gently into the lavish blue-grey fur at her shoulders and legs. Her cheeks are flush with anger and embarrassment, her tail swishing back and forth like a cat stalking her prey. "YOU!!!! You... you... you nakey wuffy!" He looks down, confused. "Nakey??? I’m not nakey! YOU are the nakey one!" "OH YEAH??? We’ll see about that!!!" Ricku screams in excitement and runs, trying to escape the charge of the wild BC now hot on his tail. Literally. The Collie keeps snapping at the loose belt hanging down from his waist, attempting to catch him. "You comeback her right now! I’ll teach you to sneak into my locker and take my clothes! You know King Kai choose that uniform for ME! You are supposed to have the white one!!!" "NO!!! I want the green one!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!" King Kai scratches his head as he watches the debacle in front of him. "HEY! She’s right! That symbol isn’t a wolf! It’s a Condur!" The Border Collie screeches to a halt and grabs King Kai by the collar. "A Condur??? A CONDUR??? I HATE Condur’s!!!" King Kai waves his arms madly. "AAAHHHHH Leggo!!! It’s not my fault! Ricku said you liked them!" Ricku peeks out from behind a tree. She sees him out of the corner of his eye, her teeth now bared. "THAT SO??" She drops King Kai with a thud and stares at Ricku with a look of sheer impending torture and death. "I’ll deal with you later. Come here you big-tailed brat!" Ricku runs again, whining a little. "Awwwwww...come on Spiratas. It was a joke! You can have my uniform!!! I want this color!!! ACK!" Spiratas lunges and catches Ricku at the waist from behind. She rolls him over and pins his shoulders to the ground with her knees. "Gimme my uniform back!" "Never!" Ricku tries to buck her off him, but she stays on him by shifting her hips. She reaches down and loosens the knot of the belt. He screams. "Help! I’m being repressed!" "Hold still you! It’s mine!" Ricku reaches up and grabs the top of Spiratas’ towel. She instantly freezes. She looks at him with her tender brown eyes. "Ooo, be a darling and let go of that..." "You let go of the belt, I’ll let go of this." "In your dreams." "I’ll pull if you don’t." "You wouldn’t." "I would." Spirit bares her teeth and Ricku does the same. Old West music plays as they engage in an epic showdown. He grins. "Touché!" In one fluid motion, Ricku rips the towel off Spiratas. She screams and pulls off the belt so his uniform top flies open, covering herself quickly after that’s done with. "You’re gonna pay for that!!!" Spiratas digs her fingers into Ricku’s side, causing him to burst into laughter. She uses his helplessness to remove the uniform with little resistance. He squirms and jerks around. "Stop! Tickles!!! Hee hee hee ha! No more! Just take the stupid uniform before I die!" Spiratas relieves Ricky of the uniform and twirls it over her head triumphantly, beaming with pride. "HA! I win!" Ricky growls and he wraps the towel around his waist. He bares his teeth and glares at Spiratas’ back as she turns to slip the uniform on. Before she can tie the belt however, she feels Ricku seize her from behind and pin her to the ground. He grins with sheer evil. "Not without a fight!" He reaches around and strokes her stomach with his fingers, causing her to explode in a powerful fit of giggling, tail thumping against the ground. "ACK!!! Abuse!!!" "Gimme the uniform!" "Hoo hoo ha ha hee ha never!" She tries desperately not to laugh, while attempting to kick Ricku off her. It’s all in vain however, as he is stronger and has the leverage. Her lower lip starts to quiver as she starts losing the battle. When he begins sliding his tail over her delicate soles, she can’t hold it anymore. "Buahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!" she lets out as she erupts into laughter. Soon she is a powerless ball of chuckles. "Say it!!!" She squirms desperately. He traces circles along her tummy with his claws, his tail still working. "SAY IT!" "Okay, okay, I give!!!" Ricky smirks arrogantly. Spiratas lies there panting. One she regains her mettle, she closes her eyes and concentrates. Ricku’s smiles fades. "Uh oh... now I’m gonna get it..." Spiratas’ eyes glow brightly and energy begins to surround her. "Tempest blast!" Before he can do anything, a strong gust of wind smacks Ricku in the chest and sends him flying into a tree. After Spiratas comes down from her "friendly" attack, she snickers as the towel falls in her lap. "Now," she laughs, "you get neither!" She whips around, ties the uniform, and goes back inside with the towel. Ricky peeks out from the tree, bare to the world. "Um... King Kai. Can you get me my uniform please?" "Will you keep the wolf symbol?" "YES!" "I’ll think about it." Everyone laughs as Ricky blushes deeply, seen even through his fur, sinking farther into the leaves and branches.
