[from here]Moving quickly and quietly, Rita managed to make it indoors without detection. This was going even more smoothly than expected

A brief flutter of movement pulled Goku's attention from the floor to the tables further ahead of him. Someone or something solid shifted through the darkness toward the kitchen. Giving the air a quick sniff, the monkey boy was pleased to discover it was that bird girl he had talked with earlier!
"Oh hey--Heeey~!" Goku shouted after her. Rita obviously hadn't heard him, but that didn't stop him from continuously screaming to catch her attention. "Hey! Heey wai--!" His big head clipped a cafeteria table and the impact dropped him onto the floor like a sack of potatoes.
"Owww owwwah owah!" That damned thing practically jumped out and bit him! He held his abused forehead for a moment until the sudden burst of pain faded and his dizzying vision cleared.
Ambushed by a table. Taura would have liked to say that was a new one, but she'd seen a lot. Being shorter -- or taller -- than average was a recipe for running into things.
He had been calling out, right before she'd entered with perfect timing to catch his little misstep, and not to her. Taura walked up behind him.
"Who are you talking to?" Her voice was quiet, though she held no illusions that it would keep them from being seen. "Is something out there?"
"Eh?" Goku turned around and smiled. "Oh, hey!" Unfortunately, he had only two volumes: Loud and really loud. "I could smell that girl Rita, and I was sayin' 'Hi', but I guess she couldn't hear me..."
Side stepping the table so he didn't simply whack himself a second time, the young boy pointed across the room. "She went thatta way!" He announced with complete confidence. It was too dark to properly see past the first few rows of tables, let alone a distant door, but Goku knew where her scent lingered in the air so he couldn't be too far off the mark.
Thankfully no other tables took him out, but he did give an awing squeak at the larger counter that separated him and the door. Taura could easily jump it, but as a boy barely passed the three foot mark, Goku had to use a little extra finesse to surpass this. With a running start, Goku slid the end of his pole against the side of the counter and vaulted right over.
"Hee hee, easy-peasy!" Now he could reap the benefits of his labor by stuffing himself to bursting capacity!
