Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dee giggled. She knew that Alba was good looking, but when it came to Lily, be careful with your words.

Suddenly, the lounge door burst open and a small figure appeared. Cynthia Anne Radiance aka Cindy had arrived. "I'm heeeeeere!" She announced being as bold as ever.

Dee couldn't help but laugh now at everyone's reactions. She commented, "Now you know where Andy and Terry get all their energy from. Hahahahaha!"

Chazz then wandered over to where Cindy had arrived and gave her a small hug. He said, "Merry Christmas, Grand mama."

Cindy smiled, "Merry Christmas to you too, Chazz Truesdale. So, you thinkin of hitting a grand slam tonight if you know what I mean?"

Chazz blushed and whispered, "I hope so, but that sister of mine might have ruined my chances."

Cindy looked to Sangcun and then tilted her head in a puppy like way. She then asked, "Huh? Why would you think that?"

Chazz then said, "You'll see."

Cindy then smiled and wandered over to where Alba was. She gave him a small hug and a peck on the side of his face. (A quick kiss) "You're looking as seductive as ever. Let's just hope you don't land yourself on the couch tonight Alba. You put on the charm with not only your flashy looks, but that scent from your cologne oughta be giving others the wrong idea. You know, that reminds me of a story..."

The minute Trunks heard the word story, he dashed over and sat in front of Cindy.

Cindy chuckled and said, "Trunks, sitting there is only going to get your face trampled. Come everyone lets bring some of these tables together and I will tell you all why Alba should be cautious about beauty like he has."

As everyone gathered, Cindy then began telling her story.

"It all started way back in the year 1970 in around August or September, I was doing some math homework for school or maybe it was pre-studying.. whatever. Anyway, I was looking at some numbers knowing about a concert that was coming up later that evening and a concert that I had tickets to go to. The group was called The Rebels. They were a heavy metal band consisting of 4 members. Jonathan Bogard, Jeff Bogard, Geese Howard and Billy Kane."

Sangcun then asked, "Great grandma, how come were you into heavy metal?"

Cindy then replied, "Those were the days when Heavy Metal didn't sound like you were throwing pots and pans down a well. The best band of that age was The Rebels. Though their music was absolutely phenomenal, the majority of the band members were known to be... lets just saw lawbreakers. They upheld their name as a band. The only exception was Jeff."

Chazz then asked, "Wait a minute, then what does all of this have to do with Alba?"

Cindy smiled, "Impatience won't make me tell the answers any faster. However, I was getting a bit sidetracked, or rather, setting too much of the stage. The one who seemed to be the leader of the group was Jonathan Bogard."

Dee had silently gone and found a Scouter version of one of the songs that Cindy was referring to. (Imagine a song that is a mix of dance, Beatles Style music, with words that remind you of someone like Linkin Park or something)

She then said, "Cindy, why don't you tell everyone about how Jonathan relates to Alba."

Cindy then sighed and answered, "Okay, fine. Jonathan's appearance alone could make a woman swoon for him. His scent was disguised from all of those drugs that Jonathan took. I mean, Jonathan was a dark magic spell caster, and much, much worse than any of the Orochi ever were. His fine looks had an effect on me too. Even though I knew darned well that I should not mess with a guy like Jon, those looks and that scent was what prevented me from being honest with him. Alba's looks are like how Jon's was in the sense that he had that clean shaven, futuristic style. Alba's looks are what women want to see in a lot of guys, but don't. Plus, with the cologne that Alba chose, if the truth was that Alba reeked worse than a rotting corpse, then that cologne could mask it easily. Does anyone else have any questions?"

Cindy laughed and said, "Jeff did turn Jonathan in for what Jon did to me. The result was that Jeff was murdered by Geese Howard when Terry here was only 10 years old. Jon and I weren't ever really an item. I mean, he was a user and an abuser, plain and simple. Where he learned dark magic, even I don't know that. My guess would be someone from those Addis thugs, but still that's only a guess. Jonathan Bogard was the only Bogard in the entire family to have been a bad seed. Andy has a similar Aura to Jonathan's and it can get him into trouble sometimes, so Andy does have a bit of a rougher life these days, but Terry's had his share too."

Dee then added, "Well, for Terry's past I pretty much know all of that. But we do want to know more of the details of how Jonathan was able to prevent like the entire mall from catching the two of you. I know that Jon demanded that Jeff keep quiet, but we all know now that didn't happen."

Cindy nodded. She sighed then said, "Well, okay...you guys all know that Jonathan was into heavy drugs. These drugs didn't just make Jonathan look my age, when in fact he's 17 years older than me, but they had also acted as some sort of super power to Jon. Like we could have been on that public bench in front of the concert hall and due to the drug's effects that Jonathan had flowing through him and that he was manipulating, and no one would have seen. Like this guy was as bad as bad can be. Serves him right now that he's stuck in the Abyss. I am very proud of Terry for standing up to that man and remaining alive."

Dee then blushed and said, "Well... he does have those pheonix powers. Plus, in 2006, shortly after Terry and I were married and there was that tournament in Soviet Union, Canthor, Terry had been fatally shot in the heart by some worthless peon. When I cried over him, somehow my true love for him healed that wound and he survived. For years after that, he still had that bullet in his chest and it hardly effected him. Save for those three consecutive heart attacks he had. The bullet has been removed finally, and safely."

Terry had almost completely forgot about that, but when Dee brought it up and Alba replied to it, Terry said, "Yes, Alba, I had been shot. The heart attacks were a cause of that. Dee was really helpful looking after me. That's proof right there that she loves me. And...because its true love, her tears were able to save me from the hand of death."

Dee said, "Well, Ash, it seems you have learned your lesson. You know, there is a way you can become a good orochi warrior and not have people look like you are some evil pig. It was a lot of work for Iori, but you're better than Iori, right? So, it should be easier for you."

Admittedly, Dee was rather nervous around Ash Crimson. Only because they shared the same Orochi flame. The green flame.

Dee had to snicker at that. "Well, we could test that theory right now if you are in fact better than Iori is. The first test, cook the turkey this year. Hunt it and then cook it. Do not return until you have done so. Iori's best time for this feat is half an hour. Best that time and everyone, you must vote on Ash Crimson's turkey cooking."

Dee said, "That is a very good point, however, these two have to get along for Ash to prove he's better. And Iori will learn something from these teachings. He isn't the only one who learned under Master Roshi."

Sangcun was getting a bit curious as to what her grandmother was up to. Everyone knew that Iori's turkey was good, but she had a feeling that her grandmother was trying to lure Ash into something.

So, Sangcun asked, "Grandma, why are you sending Ash to get a turkey when Iori's already bringing one?"

Dee replied, "Because I think its good that Ash gets to know what Iori does at this time of year, besides. I am going to have him do something else that's even better than Turkey hunting so..."

Chazz knew what Dee was up to and giggled thinking that Dee was doing something incredibly sneaky. He knew that she was responding to Ellie's request about having Sangcun date someone that is as good looking as Alba was, but wouldn't mind having a bit of relaxation. Dee was totally setting Ash into it, hahahahaha!

Trunks looked at his son with a troubled look. "Chazz, I know that look kid. My mom's up to something isn't she?"

Chazz nodded and giggled. "This thing grandmama is setting up for Ash is a floor buster for sure! Better than my plan for Vemon!"

Trunks then understood what was going on. He smirked the familiar Raditz-style smirk. He then said, "Oh, so that's what mom's up to. Interesting. Yeah, neither Sangcun or Ash will expect it that's for sure."
