THE FAIR: CHAPTER 2

DiScLaImEr: See first chapter.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Trunks and Goten hesitantly lead the way, as Vegeta was trying to keep from tearing the bracelet off of his wrist, as Goku tried to keep from laughing.

Vegeta growled deep in his throat as he heard an escaped snicker come from Goku's mouth, he turned around and grasped his rival's throat.

"YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY! THIS IS ABSURD! A PRINCE OF SAIYANS HAVING TO TAKE… "

"Aww, c'mon Vegeta, it isn't going to be that bad." Said Goku as he saw Vegeta growl and give him his death glare.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, YOU CLOWN!" Vegeta yelled as he grasped Goku by his gi shirt.

"What did I do?" Said Goku, as Vegeta began his tirade of death threats for him bringing up the fair last week.

"Goten, this is weird." Trunks whispered as he looked at his friend who looked at him curiously.

"Why?" Goten as he tilted his head slightly as he walked down the dirt path with his bag of caramel popcorn.

"My Dad is going to come with us on the rides! How can you not see that that isn't strange, Goten!" Trunks said as he hit his friend on the top of his head with his right fist, not knowing his father and Goku had heard him, "Geez, Goten you're so...hm, hey Goten how about we go in there."

"Huh, where? Oh. Uh…Trunks, I don't like how it looks." Goten said as he turned around and saw his friend smirking, and then gulped down the rest of the popcorn and tossed the jumbo size bucket in to the trash.

"Chicken." Trunks said as he smirked as Goten turned around quickly to him.

"Am not!"

"Then let's go; besides I have a great idea." Trunks said as he looked at five boys running out screaming for their moms and crying. It was really funny especially since they were teenagers.

"Really, what is it? It better not get us in trouble!" Goten said coming out from behind Trunks warily.

"Kakarot, what is that?" Vegeta said as he saw the strange looking building his son was pointing to Goten.

"Uh, gee, I don't know Vegeta, but I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun!" Goku said as he eagerly bought some cotton candy.

"Hmph, yeah right and next we'll go to the clown show." Vegeta said as he crossed his arms as Goku quickly turned to him.

"Really Vegeta!?" Goku said excitedly as Vegeta clenched his right fist and with his great speed sent it across his rival's left cheek.

POW!

"NO!" Vegeta said as he walked off leaving Goku glaring at him and holding his cheek with his right hand.

"Vegeta you're mean!"

Vegeta just snickered and continued to walk towards the mini-Saiyans. Feeling a little better after hitting the Clown.

"Understand Goten?" Trunks said as he finished repeating himself for the fifth time.

"Sure do, Trunks, c'mon!" Goten said as he ran into the building with Trunks. Vegeta immediately followed not wanting to lose them, as Goku quickly grabbed the cotton candy and followed.

"Goten?" Trunks said aloud as he noticed the ruined city in front of him, "Goten! Where are you? We're suppose to stick together you dummy!"

Trunks tried to sense where Goten went but found out he couldn't, which immediately took him off-guard.

"Dad? Goku?" Trunks asked as he turned around but immediately fell to the ground as he saw a destroyed fairground, blood splattered all around him, as limbs and other body parts littered the floor. The smell of sweat, blood, and burning bodies immediately filled his nose and his mouth as it made its path in to his lungs. The ash on the ground covered Trunks' feet as he began to run to find anyone alive, but most of all his mother, at the same time his mind tried to fight the fear of not ever seeing anyone ever again.

Suddenly Trunks was staring up at a dark ceiling, when he looked up he saw a man in the shadows holding out his hand.

"Lost?" A male voice spoke to him, Trunks immediately blinked at him and looked around seeing the pitiful displays of skeletons and hanging bats right next to coffins that were on display. The ground was free of dirt and was lit up with jack-o-lanterns that had candles inside of them. Goten immediately ran up to him as he realized that what he saw wasn't even there.

"Trunks, are you alright?"

"Ah Goten I'm fine…um Mister, can I ask you something?" Trunks said as he realized he could feel everyone was alive and well, even his father and Goku who were just around the corner.

"Sure, let me guess you want to borrow some clothes to scare your friends, well am I right?" The Male employee that was dressed up as Freddy Krueger spoke in a bored tone as if he got this request all the time.

"Yep!" Trunks said as he stood up next to Goten.

"Right this way."

...

...

"I'm going to KILL them!!" Vegeta shouted as he blasted the one thousandth skeleton that had unfortunately popped up for the last time.

"Calm down, Vegeta! They just want to have fun!" Said Goku as he winced as Vegeta punched a wall, making it crumble, he was NOT in the mood to go around anything.

Suddenly a body fell from the "Night Sky", tied to a rope right in front of Vegeta. Vegeta grabbed it and pulled making the rope break, he then threw the unfortunate female employee in the body bag in to the wall on his right.

"Stupid…" Vegeta started once more cursing as he made his way across the wooden bridge, Goku quickly apologized to the female and then ran up to catch up to Vegeta, when suddenly he sensed something coming up beside him.

"Whose next?"

A giant, life size needle with blood spots on the tip and syringe was moving closer and closer to a very pale Goku.

"It hurt, it hurt…beware it kills!" Said a man, who crawled to Goku and grasped his ankle, he coughed up blood on Goku's unfortunate right shoe, "The doctor told me it wouldn't hurt…he lied…" He then coughed spraying blood at the ground in between Goku's feet, then dropped his hand and (to Goku) died.

"VVVEGGGGGETTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

Now as we all know quite well from both anime and the manga, a Saiyan has a VERY good set of lungs. Well across the fair about two miles down, are: ChiChi, Bulma, Gohan, Master Roshi, Puar, Oolong, Yamcha, Tien, Chaotzu, 18 and Krillen.

"Did you just hear Goku, ChiChi?" Said Bulma as she turned around to see where he was.

"Yes, I did but why on earth would he scream 'Vegeta?' shouldn't the two of them be watching Trunks and Goten together?" Said ChiChi as the others thought about the earth-shattering fear-filled, painful (to their ears) scream that definitely came from Goku, and wondered what could have happened.

"Maybe Vegeta took his food since he did this morning?" Bulma said as she paid for her new dress and jewelry at the register of the booth and handed the bag to Gohan.

"Here Krillen, I'll be right back." Gohan said as he shoved the bags in to Krillen's hands.

"Don't worry ChiChi, Goku can handle anything that comes his way!" Said Bulma as she, 18 and ChiChi led the guys to another booth.

The Z warriors just sweat-dropped as the girls started looking around the group discussing the kitchenware they were looking at.

Unnoticed by the others, they were being watched.

"WHAT KAKKAROT!" Said Vegeta as he stomped up to Goku, with his fists clenched and a really, really bad headache.

"a..a..."

Vegeta growled as he pulled back his fist and grabbed Goku by the front of his shirt.

"A walking needle!" Goku said as he pointed behind Vegeta, who narrowed his eyes and turned around.

"Kakarot what are you…" Vegeta stopped talking as his mouth dropped open at the sight of the bloody needle that was walking down the hall and faded in to the mist and fog at the other side of the bridge, which they had just come from.

Trunks was eagerly waiting for his father as he watched from his position, however he hoped they would stop talking and hurry over.

He felt drowsy, and closed his eyes. He leant forward putting his head on to the black railing that was in front of him, the coolness feeling extremely good on his hot forehead.

He opened his eyes as he began to sense his father and Goku moving his way, only to have their ki signatures disappear.

To be replaced with hundreds of fading ki signatures rapidly dropping all around him. The smell of smoke and…the same exact smell from earlier: the burning flesh smell was stronger though and so was the blood.

Trunks tried to shake his head to wake himself up only to be shocked by the searing pain coming from doing so. He touched his head and winced as he touched a wound he didn't know was there, he then felt a sticky substance, and brought his hand to see what it was, and saw his blood.

Trunks then felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around; he was surprised to see Goku, but then he disappeared.

"Huh?" Trunks tried to figure out what just happened but realized then that the smells were gone, and his head felt fine instead of that searing pain. He then felt his father was near as well as Goku, and immediately got ready. 'I'll figure it out later, for now I've got to scare my Dad.'

"Listen Kakarot I am tired of being here, now if you want to live to eat your next meal I suggest that we hurry up!" Vegeta said as he flew up with Goku right behind him.

"Okay Vegeta, you win." Said Goku as Vegeta blast a door down and started to walk down the long hallway that had bodies hanging in nooses from the ceiling and ghosts flying around the ceiling making creepy shadows on the walls around Goku and Vegeta.

The dead trees were planted every few feet down the hallway with hanging candles on the limbs with skeletons, and every so often a dark crow with red eyes.

"Vegeeetaaaa…." A whisper in the dark, low-lit hallway.

"Whose there! Show yourself you coward!" Said Vegeta as he clenched his fists, he couldn't recognize the voice.

"Veegeeetaaaa, coooome to meeeee…."

"Vegeta?" Goku said turning to him only to see the Saiyan Prince stomping his way down the hall.

"FINE! WHEN I FIND YOU, I'LL KILL YOU!" Vegeta said as he accepted the challenge of finding who was playing such a pathetic trick.

Only to find out that all he had to do was walk in to the room that the hallway had led in to. Goku immediately sensed Vegeta was getting extremely angry and hoped he could persuade him to not blow up the fair.

"Come in, come in my Child. We should not linger in doorways, it's rude. One might question your upbringing." Said a woman with gray skin, and white short hair, and black tentacles, chuckling she glided in to her black throne-looking chair.

"Who the hell are you?" Vegeta said as he glared at the woman, not caring that she had tentacles for legs.

"I am the one who will see in to your secrets, for a price of course, can't get anything for nothing you know. Oh, unless you're afraid of course…" The woman said as she took out a crystal ball.

"Who said I was afraid?" Vegeta questioned, his anger subsiding a bit as he walked up to her and sat in the chair uncrossing his arms as he did.

"Vegeta," Said Goku seriously as he walked up to him, "Wait a minute this might be a bad idea."

"Who asked you? Forget the Clown now get on with it! I don't have all day!" Vegeta as he leant back in his chair and stared at the woman..

She chuckled evilly, and then leaned on to her table,

"I admit in the past, I have been a nasty…Crystal Ball of the Caspian Sea! Reveal Vegeta's darkest secret!"

The crystal ball shined and then both Saiyans saw Vegeta sitting in the bathtub with a lot of bubble-bath bubbles floating around, and singing:

"Rubber Ducky you're the one, you make bath-time lots of fun, Rubber Ducky I am totally fond of you."

Goku held his breath, knowing if he laughed he would die, as Vegeta's face grew red and his body started to shake.

Far away Bulma and the others were talking about where they were going to eat when a huge booming sound caught their attention.

In the distance, they saw a mushroom cloud and everyone gathering around what was supposed to be the Haunted House.

Trunks dressed as the grim reaper stood in the middle of the rubble, with his eyes wide.

Goten stood across from him in a shot-up cowboy outfit looking around,

"What happened?"

"Uh…Vegeta…" Goku said as he went up to his rival who turned to him.

"It wasn't true, now where's…" Vegeta saw Trunks and Goten walking up to them, without their costumes and in their normal attire. (They had the clothes over their original ones and since Trunks felt his father was furious threw away the plan.)

"Bulma." Vegeta said in slightly louder than a whisper, wide-eyed as he quickly looked right, and Goku spotted them.

"Dad! Exit! Over there!" Trunks said pointing to a brick-building that was right next to Vegeta and Goku.

"Hurry!" Vegeta said as they ran towards it, as he, Goku and Goten slid in, as Trunks followed in pursuit.

Trunks then noticed a sign, and stopped right before the entrance to read it:

"Caution:

The Brave are only to Enter.

For True Horrors lie ahead,

Despair, Destruction or Happiness may be,

The truth of Future you are to see.

So brave are you to enter here?

Your true destiny of journey is your own,

Set right, enter, and see what's here or there.

But Caution, your path is all your own."

To Be Continued…

The woman Vegeta spoke to in the Haunted House was Ursela from Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid.

The Song Rubber Ducky comes from Sesame Street.

I do not own any of those.
