//------------------------------// // Chapter 56: Filling Food // Story: Saiyan of Equestria // by Boyzilla //------------------------------// Tournament Saga Chapter 56: Filling Food "I don't think I'll ever get used to this..." The voice of Bon-Bon spoke up. The family of Heartstrings and Bon-Bon had journeyed to the nearest restaurant where they were seated. Since the two saiyan twins were fighters in the Four Border Tournament, they were granted free meals whenever they desired. Needless to say, Ken and Kira took full advantage of this fact. Much to the shock of the waiters, cooks, and other customers around them. 'Oh man, I wish I could eat!' Chris said in disappointment. "Oomm!" Kira stuffed a entire vegetable kebab in her mouth before pulling out the stick and dropping it on her plate. The little half saiyan girl chewed and swallowed so quickly it was difficult to believe she ate anything in the first place. Ken wasn't too far behind, in front of both him and his sister, plates stacked higher and higher. The remains of what used to be food decorated the empty plates. Fish bones, unknown bones, and bits and pieces of vegetables, all of them scattered about. The waiters could barely keep up to remove said plates and bring fresh batches. Lyra sighed, "They're attracting so much attention..." She said. Bon-Bon smiled as she looked to the unicorn, "Hey Lyra, look at the bright side, it discourages them from trying to get them because they could barely afford to feed them in the first place." "Oh ha-ha, not helping Bon-Bon!" Lyra said with a pout. A few minutes later, Lyra lay her head on the table as the plates seemed to reach their limits of being stacked and there was barely any table room to begin with. "Ken, Kira..." The Twins swallowed their food and looked to their mother, "Yeah?" They both answered happily. "Can you slow down on eating?" Lyra slightly begged, eyeing the mountains of china. The two twin munchkins stopped eating, eyeing the large amount of plates that they just noticed after going on a food spree moments beforehand. "I was almost full anyway," Ken stated as he finished the last of his plate before stopping. "I'm still a little hungry, but I can stop too." Kira said, "This is like the most food we ever got to eat too, so I'm more full than I ever been!" The half saiyan girl cheered. "Yeah! It was great!" Ken agreed, patting his belly while his tail wagged happily behind him. Lyra smiled, lifting her head up, "So you two ready to go to the room?" Instantly the two shook their heads, "Desert!" The Twins exclaimed. The surrounding waiters nearly tripped over their own feet, and the customers all fell backward against their seats. Bon-Bon laughed, "Of course, of course they would ask that!" The earth pony said. "Take it to go, you can eat it when you get to the hotel." Lyra stated. Kira nodded, "Okay mom," She started, turning to a waiter, "I'll like the Super Triple Fudge Brownie Vanilla Ice cream special to go!" Ken sported a happy grin, "That's like the biggest desert isn't it nee-chan?" Kira gave her brother a thumbs up, "You know it! That should be plenty for us to split together!" "I'm so glad we get this all for free..." Lyra trailed off in relief. Our twin heroes, along with their mother and 'Aunt' Bon-Bon, entered the hotel room. Lyra instantly lay herself on the bed in complete exhaustion, the two eight year old children on the other hand, were still completely buzzing with energy. Bon-Bon giggled at Ken and Kira's endless enthusasim. "What's next, what's next, what's next?!" The two Twins said continuously. "Rest! Peace! Quiet..." Lyra replied in a tired tone. Ken and Kira pouted, with Ken replying, "But that's so boring!" "Not to me," Lyra countered, sprayed across the bed sheets. "To us it is," Kira said. Lyra turned her head toward Bon-Bon, "Bonny, can't do anything with them? Pleaaaasssee," Lyra begged. "Uh..." Bon-Bon started, the earth pony faced our kid heroes, "What would you two like to do?" She asked. "Play!" They answered in unison. "Play what?" Bon-Bon questioned. It was then, there and now, that both Ken and Kira realized that had absolutely no idea on what to play in the first place. And so, they sat down, crisscross, and put their thinking caps on. "Mmh... Tag?" Ken questioned. Kira shook her head, "No, that's boring with just two of us." "Hide and seek?" Ken suggested. Kira shook her head again, her arms crossed, "Nu uh, too easy to find each other in a small room like this. Mm, how about heads up seven up?" "Sis, this isn't school, that's not fun to play without a lot of ponies," Ken replied, his tail wiggling behind him. Bon-Bon decided to speak up, "I think Lyra packed some coloring books and crayons in one of the bags-' "Really?!" The two twins said. Their suggorate aunt nodded, "Yeah..." She trailed off. "Great!" Ken said, he loved to draw! "That'll be fine," Kira said, knowing that her twin loved to draw, but she personally preferred coloring in stuff. Bon-Bon reached for the bag, and pulled out a few coloring books and a box of crayons. After giving them to the two Twin munchkins, she then proceeded to head into the bathroom and start herself a nice, long bath. Meanwhile, our young hero and heroine were entertained by a activity proved fascinating by their human sides. Their saiyan sides would never understand why the human half of itself would be so interested in coloring in a paper version of Princess Celestia. Half an hour later, after much coloring and drawing, Ken and Kira grew a bit hungry once more and decided to eat the dessert they ordered before leaving the restaurant. Bringing out the box, the two twins dug right into the chocolate goodness. "Nom!" Kira happily moaned as her taste buds exploded with flavor, so much sugar, it was a dream come true! "Yummy," Ken concurred, licking some vanilla ice cream off his lips. Brother and sister began to devour the dessert slowly, savoring each bite of blissful concentrated sugar, milk, and coco beans. 'Why! Ugh, moments like this I wish I was out of this seal that I made with my own hands! I want a bite!' Chris cried out in agony at never being able to taste food once ever again. 'Aw, I'm sorry daddy... I wish I could do something,' Ken replied to his father with sadness. 'It's fine, I'm just glad you and Kira are enjoying life,' Ken smiled, and took another spoonful of chocolate with ice cream dripping from it, stuffing into his mouth. "Nii-san?" Ken turned to his twin sister, "Yeah nee-chan?" "I was thinking a little when I saw your match today, and I was wondering, are you fine now?" Kira asked. Ken blinked, tilting his head in confusion, "What you mean?" "Well, you used your Ki, and I haven't seen you use your Ki since... Well... Ya know." Kira replied. "Oh..." The twin brother trailed off, "Well, I feel a little better." "So you're not all the way yet?" Kira said, then quickly added, "Not that that's not okay! You can take all the time you need brother!" Kira finished with a smile on her face. 'I'm so lucky to have a twin sister,' Ken thought to himself. 'Yes, you are, very much so.' Chris agreed with his son. The following day, the saiyan twins excitingly trekked toward the Four Border Tournament arena. With their guardians following behind them, Ken and Kira, mostly the little girl, was energetic to attend the future matches. Our heroine, Kira Heartstrings, knew it was her match today. She just hoped that her opponent wouldn't be a super easy pony to beat. "Better be a challenge, I want to all out at least once in this tournament!" Kira said, punching her fist against her left open palm. "Hehe," Ken giggled, "Maybe sis, maybe." "I hope not..." Lyra muttered under her breath. "Huh? What you say mommy?" Kira questioned, not having heard what her mother said. "Nothing sweetie, I'm sure you'll do just fine," Lyra replied with a nervous grin. "Okay!" Kira happily said, almost skipping along toward the fighters side of the arena. "Do well you two, and don't get in a big battle to the death please." Bon-Bon said. "We won't this time," Ken chuckled afterward, before following his sister to the fighter's observatory. Lyra looked to Bon-Bon, "You just had to say that didn't you?" Bon-Bon replied, "Yep, now let's get a good spot in the stands before all the places are taken."
