Gohan was starving.

It hadn't really been that long since the last time the hybrid ate, to be honest. In fact, he shouldn't really be that hungry right now. He'd had something to hold him over while he fought his matches, but the energy Spopovich and Yamu had drained out of him probably had something to do with it. Sure, he'd been exhausted out of energy before, but he'd never been so close to hitting the breaking point of his ki than he'd been right then.

He'd regained some of his energy while he was passed out, but he was nowhere near full power. For a while, he'd managed to push his hunger out of his mind, curiosity and worry about the current circumstances taking priority... but then Usagi mentioned cupcakes. And it all came flowing back.

It didn't take very long for him to figure out where the bakery was. Once he'd found the map function in the device he was handed-- which looked like something Bulma would own, in all honesty-- it was simply a matter of heading over to the apartments and going from there. He still needed to make a run to the bank for the funds he'd been told about, but... well, food. That took priority right now.

Nevermind the fact that he needed the money to be able to actually pay for it, but the lack of energy wasn't helping his brain functions all that much right now...

"Um, hi!" Gohan called out somewhat awkwardly, an anxious smile on his face as he stepped foot into what he assumed to be the bakery he was supposed to go to. "Is there an Usagi here?"

"I'm Usagi!" The blond smiled and waved over at him from behind the counter. "Go ahead and sit down. I'll bring you a cup cake." She really didn't have any doubt who he was. The little picture on the network matched, and who else would come in asking for her in particular?

While he sat down she brushed the flour from her hands on the small pink apron around her waist, and grabbed a small plate. Glancing at the different treats, Usagi eventually settled on two brightly decorated cupcakes, and brought them over to him.

"Here, my treat." She beamed, sitting down across from him casually. Usagi was always happy to treat people now and then with sweets, especially for people who had just been snatched into this place. Not that she did very often because she didn't often check the networks. Glanced at them now and then, but the PDA's were more Ami's style -- Usagi often forgot about it.

The sight of the cupcake alone almost made energized Gohan, his face lighting up like a child having gotten their birthday presents early. Almost as if to agree with him, his stomach rumbled as well, the sound coming off suspiciously like some kind of low growl.

"Eheh, thanks!" He said as he sat down, taking a bite of the cupcake... and inhaling the whole thing in that one bite. His cheeks were almost comically puffed up as he chewed it down. "Hiff heisf hreit!"

Usagi giggled and turned to take a napkin from the counter as well, setting it down for him. Usagi didn't eat quite that fast, but she probably had an appetite at about the same level so there was no judgment at all on her end.

"You're welcome." She answered, followed by another small laugh. "I'm glad you like it." Usagi was fluent in speaking with your mouth full. Of course, if the way he inhaled that was any indication a few cupcakes wouldn't be enough.

It almost looked painful at he gulped the masticated lump down his throat, but Gohan didn't seem at all phased by it. After all, he came from the same family who'd turned massive appetites and insane metabolisms into a genetic trait.

The cupcake definitely gave him the boost in energy that he needed. It was nowhere near enough, but at the very least, he wasn't at the point where he was starving now. "Um... eheh, is there any way to get the money out of this thing without going to the back?" He asked sheepishly, raising the PDA as he spoke.

Translation: May I have some more?

"No, I don't think so." She shook her head, but smiled as she rose from the seat. "I can get you one more..." Usagi offered, getting him another cupcake. This one wasn't the prettiest, they had a tray of cupcakes that they couldn't sell for whatever reason. This one had frosting holding the top and bottom together awkwardly, but it would taste just the same.

"You'll have to get a job or something here. They only give you a hundred dollars to start."

Gohan didn't really mind what the cupcake looked like, honestly. For the most part, he was used to food that didn't look as good as it tasted, considering how Bulma and other people from the city reacted when his mom cooked some of her food. ~~Or at least, when she cooked lizards.~~

"Y-Yeah, I heard about that," He answered sheepishly, setting his PDA down as he took the offered cupcake. Nonetheless, he was still smiling. "I was actually gonna get the money before coming here, but... I was so hungry, I guess I kinda forgot. Sorry."

"It's alright." Usagi giggled and shrugged slightly. It made no difference to her. She'd been prepared to give him a few free treats anyways.

"Have you figured out where you're staying and everything yet?" She set down a glass of chocolate milk for him to wash it down with, and took a seat again. It was a little hard getting adjusted at first, so she was eager to help in any way she could.

Though she was somewhat unhappy about being in Colligo and away from Micah and the rest of her family, she did consider being in this Boston look-a-like contest of a city to be a much better option than with whatever the hell those arsonists were going to do to her. She tried not to think about that too much. Instead, she'd put this free time she'd been presented with to good use and had, since arriving, taught herself how to play the flute, kick box, and had substantially improved her culinary skills. Or her ability had, rather. Thank you Food Network.

At the moment, however, Monica was in the mood for something that she didn't have to put fourth the effort into cooking herself and wandered out of the apartment she'd been assigned to and through to the streets of Colligo to a quaint little bakery with a very pleasant smell coming from it.

"Nothing smells better than fresh baked bread," she declared with a bright smile as she stepped into the entrance.

	"You got that right!" Gohan declared from the table he was sitting at, not even bothering to turn around. Then again, the wide smile he had on his face could probably be seen through his head anyway. If the large amount of baked goods on the table in front of him wasn't too distracting, at least. Or the way he was inhaling it down his throat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Monica turned towards the sound of the voice to find a teenager -- around her age, maybe? -- stuffing his face full of food at a rather...remarkable pace. He seemed pretty lean in appearance, as far as she could tell, so where did all that food go? Asking, of course, would be rude.

"I take it this place makes some damn good bread then."

Such an observation instead wasn't necessarily rude, right?

That would forever remain one of the mysteries of the Son family. Of course, they weren't the only ones who ate like that, considering there was Vegeta too, but surprising complete strangers with the way they ate had always felt more like it was a thing Gohan's family was more known for than anything else.

"Eheh, yeah," He spoke after swallowing the lump in his throat, turning his head around to face her. "It's great!"
