I hereby dedicate this to the only person to sign the review. Sally ()!!
You're our lucky contestant! For all those whom didn't, let's just say I
don't think too highly of you. Thank you sally () for being considerate of
my feelings. If you want to be acknowledged in the next chapter please
leave a review on your way out. Have a nice day.(
Okay chapter update. Its kind of stupid but will get better in the next chapter. I must work over time to get this done by the end of this week. I don't own DBZ, but I am temporary borrowing them. So don't sue! Seriously, I am a student and currently own a piece of crap (excuse my French) pickup truck and a stuff dog named woof-woof. (Don't ask.) Some of the characters are a bit OOC and are switched around a little bit. It'll make sense later on. (Christina is # 18. ()
1 Chapter one: The Nutcracker
" Wait up!"
Bulma sprinted after her bother.
" No way, Bulma. You're too slow!"
"Gohan, once I catch up, there will be heck to pay!"
They came upon a clock shop and stopped, panting. Bulma grasp the brass door handle and gave three crisp knocks on the wooden door. A minute passed when a tall man opened the door. He was pretty well built, had hair going every which way and a huge grin on his face.
"Uncle Bardock!" Gohan ran and hugged the man.
Bardock chuckled and held him back.
"So what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
"To give you your Christmas present, silly!" Bulma giggled.
"Oh.uh. Thanks," Bardock retrieved the parcel from Bulma. "Come inside and I'll be right back." Bardock walked in followed by Bulma and Gohan.
They waited for Bardock to return, each staring at the clocks and twiddling their thumbs. Bardock came out balancing two parcels in his arm and a blue object.
"Here Gohan, that's yours," handing him a green package with a red ribbon. "This is for your parents," giving him a red package with a yellow ribbon. Gohan accepted the packages and went outside to play in the snow. Bulma looked at Bardock, curious about the item in his large hands. Bardock smiled.
"Bulma, this doll is for you."
Looking at it with awe, she accepted the toy from Bardock. It was a soldier with a royal blue uniform with gold trimmings. He had real looking eyes that were what looked like black orbs. His sword was sheathed at his side ready for combat. Midnight black hair stood up like a black flame. She thought that he was handsome.
"Thank you," she whispered.
Bardock gently took the doll she was holding. "Bulma, this is a very special doll. You see he is a nutcracker." He reached for a bowl sitting on the table near them. A walnut was placed between the nutcracker's wooden jaws. Placing his hand on the bar sticking out of the doll's back, he pushed down on it and.CRACK. The walnut halves fell onto the table. Bulma smiled admirably at the doll.
"That is so cool!" she exclaimed.
"Yes it is," Bardock stared at Bulma before speaking again. "Listen, I want you to take especially good care of this doll."
"Yes, sir."
"I mean it, Bulma. This doll is an enchanted prince. A spell was placed upon him to prevent him from marring the princess in England. So make sure your brother doesn't get a hold of it and protect him from the Mouse King, Freeza."
"The Mouse King?"
"Yes. His wicked mother placed the spell on the prince, but she died allowing her son to take the throne. He is bent on destroying the prince so be careful."
Bulma smiled. She knew of such fairytales and often wished of her own. "Thank you again, Uncle Bardock."
Chuckling, Bardock added, "Maybe you could see my nephew soon. He's about your age and will be over sometime this month."
"Oh. Well maybe. I'll see you later, Uncle Bardock!"
Taking the nutcracker doll into a cradled position in her arms, Bulma walked out of the store to find her brother and go home. She found him throwing snowballs at a target, which happened to be the sign hanging outside of the doctor's office. He picked up the presents and followed Bulma home. A quarter of a mile down the road, they came to a huge white mansion with blue trimmings. They walked up to the door only to have it opened by their 18 year-old-sister, Christina.
"Where have you two been? It's almost 4 pm! The party starts at six. You'll never be able to open your presents and get to bed on time!"
"We were finishing delivering the presents to the village. Cut us some slack!" Gohan told his eldest sister.
"Come inside kids and open your presents!" called their mother, Mrs. Briefs.
The three of them walked through the greeting room and through the twin wooden doors into the large den. Bulma walked over to the large glass case near one corner of the room. She gently placed the nutcracker inside and closed the door. The large tree stood in front of the large glass windows where Gohan sat opening up his presents and Bulma joined him opening her own presents. Christina startled them all when she gave a shriek. Holding up a beautiful evening gown, she hugged both of her parents muttering her thanks then running out of the room to try on her dress. Bulma and Gohan rolled their eyes and finished opening their presents. It was near 5:30 when they were done. Both of them ate a small meal and headed up the stairs, Bulma was carrying her kitten, Jazz. They were half way up when the doorbell rang. Christina bounded down the stairs almost knocking over Bulma and Gohan in the process.
"Hello, Krillen," Christina said when she opened the door.
"My, my, Christina, you look beautiful tonight."
Christina blushed and led him through the two wooden doors. Bulma and Gohan only shook their heads and trudged up the stairs to their own rooms. Jazz jumped down from her arms as Bulma walked through the door of her room and bounded across the room to jump up on Bulma's bed. Bulma slipped into a light blue sleeping gown and crawled into bed. She listened to the people conversing at the party. Pretty soon the muffled noise lulled her to sleep.
Clank. Clank.
Bulma opened her sleepy eyes. What was that noise? Jazz noticed the noise too and jumped down off the bed with Bulma following at her heels (paws). They reached the twin doors and stood before it. Jazz scratched at the doors while Bulma pressed her ears against the door.
Clank.
There it was again. Bulma gulped and slightly pushed open the door.
MWAHAHAHAHA! Cliffhanger! Don't worry next chapter should be up later today or tomorrow. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
REVIEW PLEASE!
