Aqua woke up the next morning feeling mighty refreshed. She smacked her lips as her mouth was dry from drooling on Goten's cheat all night. "Mornin'! Sleep well?" The Goddess' groggy eyes met Goten's tired, bloodshot ones.

"Yeah! Best sleep I've had in a while."

Goten smiled as he jumped up and throwing Aqua off of him by accident. He was doing all sorts of stretches to loosen his body up for the day. "Man, has it really been that long since I've had a bad night's rest?" Aqua chose to ignore him as stretched in a very "sexy" manner. Well attempted sexy manner, Goten was too busy getting dressed for work, "C'mon Aqua. We'll be late!"

"H-Hey! Wait for meeee!"

Today's job was at the makeshift Lumber Yard. Goten would chopping wood and Aqua was in charge of selling Fire Wood. Goten giggled with joy which was very unsettling for Aqua. As a Goddess who sent people to different worlds to make a major difference, she never heard a guy like Goten giggle. Well to be honest she never met a guy like Goten either.

"Me and my dad would do this for training!"

"Right, right." Aqua just nodded along before it registered in her head, "Training?!" But it was too late. Goten was already tossing up logs and punching them into four perfect logs for a fire. Aqua's jaw hit the floor as Goten ran through half of his pile already. People gathered around the spectacle, amazed by Goten and his perfect stack of firewood. Lines of people formed around Aqua to buy some logs. She didn't have to push too hard because Goten was unintentionally doing Aqua's job as well.

The day went by faster than Goten had thought it would've. For him and his Dad to do this 10-ish hours straight was rare, so it felt good. Felt empowering. Their pay was slightly higher than yesterday's, bringing in an even 70 gold each. Minus their stable fee, Aqua demanded a bath. "I am a Goddess! That means I will not stay filthy like this! Bath!" Aqua continued to chant "Bath!" over and over until Goten just gave her the rest of their money. "Now, you stay out here and keep me company, but no peeking!" Aqua was happy for the first time since they had arrived in Town. So Goten counted this as a win.

Goten snickered as Aqua sang to herself while she bathed. She really was like a blue haired Marron...

"They're probably worried sick over me. Wish I could at least send a message or something." Goten tried to shake the sadness off of him as Aqua finally came out and was ready for bed. Just like that Aqua started whining about how she was itchy and stranded in this "Goddess Forsaken Hell!" It wasn't long before Goten found Aqua nuzzled into his chest again. His eyes finally closed and sleep enveloped him, but he still worried about his past life.

Aqua stirred awake by a foreign roaring. Maybe a growl was better suited to the noise ringing in her ear. "Hmm...?" Goten was still asleep but the growling was coming from his stomach. "Why does it sound like he's starving?!" A few mumbles came from Goten that startled Aqua. "Gooooten!" She whined loundly, "What are we gonna do for breakfast?!"

"Hmm...? I wanna eat!" Goten's eyes didn't open in the slightest, but his stomach roared even louder than Aqua remembered. Not long after they got ready for their next day of work, but they bought some day old bread first.

The work Goten signed up for today was nothing special. They, including Aqua this time, were tasked with building fences for the different Shops and Farms. The more they saw, Goten realized that this town literally had everything you would ever need. Goten enjoyed seeing all that there was in the town but that meant Aqua whined even more than usual. "Goten, I'm tiiiired!" She leapt on his back, "Carry me!" Goten couldn't help but get flashbacks of Marron doing the exact same thing. The rest of the day was a blur. Aqua continued to be Aqua. The work itself was really easy for Goten. This gave the young Saiyan quite a bit of time to think about everything and everyone he left behind...

Aqua was babbling Goten's ear off and he didn't notice until his pay was dropped in his hands. "Hmm...? Aqua, we can register as Adventurers tomorrow!"

"Hah..?" Aqua turned to Goten with tears in her eyes, "B-But Bath time!"

"We'll have plenty of money from Adventuring!"

"Nooooooo...!" Aqua cried out into the night.

The next morning Goten was feeling better and more himself. Today was the day they, Aqua and Himself, were to become Adventurers! Goten practically skipped to the Guild Hall while Aqua struggled through the streets, sniffling with each step. She missed her bed, even if it was just a stack of hay. She missed her pillow, even if it was just Goten. She missed her sleep. "Good morning," the Lady at the front Desk greeted them, "What can I do for you today?"

Goten slammed their 200 Gold on the counter, "We wanna be Adventurers!"

"Okay," She took the money and asked them to follower her to this Magic contraption. It was a glass sphere in the center of a bronze stand. The stand was like a pyramid with out the triangle top, and the glass or sat in it almost too perfectly. There was a little opening on the bottom, but Goten couldn't tell you what it was for. "Just place your hand on the Orb, and we'll print out your Adventurer's Card. Simple!" Goten followed the instructions he was given and a small ding later he had a card with his info on it. "Wow! Look at you!"

"You are really strong for a Beginner Adventurer. You have average Luck and Intelligence. Overall you have more than what it takes to Adventure outside of our small town!" The Guild Secretary was ranting and raving about Goten so much that Aqua got annoyed and slapped her hand on the orb to read them her stats. A bight flash and a simple ring was all Aqua received.

"Why is my Luck plus 25?"

"Oh that just means you have potential in Luck, but actually only have.. None. I'm so sorry sweetie, you must've used up all your Luck to become High Priestess at start."

"This is no way to treat a Goddess..."

Quest: Defeat Giant Toads! (0/5)

Reward: Hunter's Knife x1

Bonus: 100 Gold per Toad

Goten was pumped for this quest. They could easily defeat Giant Toads! Plus 100 Gold per extra? They can afford next week in the stables AND more than day old bread! "Hehehe," Goten giggled to himself, "I can taste it now..." Aqua rolled her eyes as they walked to the outskirts of Town.

"Whoa... there they are!" Aqua pointed to the small group of pink Toads, "There really is only 5, how are we gonna get extra gold?" Goten shrugged as he stretched before battle. He was focusing on sensing them with his Ki, but it wasn't working properly since he was brought back with Aqua. She did say he would keep all his past abilities and experience, right?

"Aqua, be careful. Something isn't adding up. I'm sensing a lot more than the five we see, but they aren't where the power is coming from."

"Psssh, silly Goten!" Aqua put her hand in front of Goten, motioning him to stand back, "Your perfect, BEAUTIFUL, Goddess has this under control!" Aqua had an incredible aura explode around her. It was a mix of Gold, Blue, and Pink before in condensed around her fist. She started sprinting towards the closest Toad chanting some spell? "Feel the power of the Gods! Regret standing before me, The Goddess Aqua! Take my Rage, Love, Joy, and Sorrow," Aqua slammed her fist into the pink Toad's stomach area, "GODDESS BLOW!" The strong force of her attack unleashed, but it backfired almost immediately. The Toad's stomach rippled where Aqua punched before the ripples snapped back, launching the poor Goddess straight into the air.

"GOTEN HELP!!!!"

That was the last thing hear before Aqua past the Toad's line of sight. A large dark pink, muscular tongue fired from the monster's mouth and snatched Aqua. Goten panicked for a split second as he watch Aqua get eaten. Her legs were still sticking out of the Toad's mouth like the Goddess was a popsicle. "Hold on, Aqua! I'm on my way!!!" Goten charged towards the Toad eating Aqua and placed his left palm on the Toad's gut, but he couldn't produce Ki like normally. Huh? That's weird... In just a few moments the Toad's eyes bulged out and she spit out Aqua into the air once more. The pink Toad start to vanish in a a black and purple smoke.

Giant Toads (1/5)

Aqua was sitting on the ground covered in Toad spit, it was truly disgusting. She was sobbing but it sounded more like childish whining than actually crying, "I'M COVERED IN TOAD DROOL!" There was a slight rumble to the ground beneath Goten and Aqua. Aqua quickly scrambled to her feet and lunged at Goten. Goten tried to keep Aqua back so he too would be covered in Toad drool.

"Aqua, go stand on too of the hill-" Green Toads popped up from the ground. They weren't as large as the pink ones, but Goten assumed that they're still "Giant" according to Guild. Aqua ran away from Goten and the army of Toads without hesitation, screaming at the top of her lungs. Goten sent a barrage of punches into the Toad chasing Aqua before finishing off with a heel drop to its head. Goten tried to fire Ki blasts but the most he could muster was few Kiai Bullets. "That's odd..." Goten dodged each attack as the Toads started honing in on him. Goten was able to coat his hand in Ki but it wasn't like normal, but it did help with the job. The Green Toads were a lit weaker than the Pink ones. The only real difference between them was the Green Toads attacked together where as the Pink Toads could fight solo.

"Goten, hurry up! I feel grooooossssss!!!"

Goten sighed as he tried to finish off the Toads surrounding him. It wasn't too hard to find a common weak point. Goten put forth his all until he felt his Adventurer's Card ting. Aqua was shouting about "Completion!"

Quest: Defeat Giant Toads! (7/5)

Rewards: Hunting Knife x1

Bonus: Complete x2, 200 Gold

"Okay, okay! Let's go back to the Guild and turn it in."

X 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 X

"Oh, good! You guys were even able to complete the Bonus!" Turia, the Guild's Secretary's name, was genuinely proud of Goten and Aqua.

"It was nothing for a High Priestess like me!" Aqua gained quite the Pinocchio nose when boasting about a job well done. Even if it was clearly Goten who completed the quest.

"Thanks!" Goten ignored Aqua's boasts and spoke directly to Turia, "So what exactly do i do with a Hunting Knife?"

"Oh that's simple," Turia laid a book open to a specific page in front of Goten, "So of you kill an animal or a monster with it, it guarantees items like bones, pelts, and food supplies. Also you can use it to loot animal or monster corpses left behind for the same results." Goten nodded as he secured the knife to his side. They took their gold and went to the bathhouse before going out for dinner.

"See you tomorrow!"
