Silver
Chapter 4
"Tell us what he looks like Gohan," Goku asked his son as the waited in the lobby of a Holiday Inn as Bulma got them a room.
"Well," Gohan scratched his ear thinking, "He has a scar like Yamcha's and short brown hair. At least that's what I remember…"
"Hmm," Goku pondered, but was immediately interrupted by the screams of all the people around them.
Bulma's eyes widened in horror as she turned to see Silver Tiger and her family make their entrance, "oh no…"
"Excuse me miss, but we don't allow exotic pets at this hotel," a bellhop came up to Silver nervously.
"Anywhere I go my parents go," Silver Tiger crossed her arms arrogantly, "if you have a problem you can take it up with my Dad."
Riwa took a step forward growling and the bellhop jumped back, "well err…we most insist that you keep them in your room at all times."
"I see what you're doing!" Silver Tiger snarled, "you trying to cage us like you do to our people!" she got on all fours and growled, "Well that just isn't going to happen."
The bellhop screamed like a little girl as he ran away from Silver Tiger who started chasing him growling like a mad dog.
"Whoa Silver," Trunks caught her up in his arms, "chill!"
She squirmed around trying to get free from him, "let me go you worthless human! Or I shall be forced to devour you as well!"
"I'd like to see you try," Trunks dropped her rather harshly on the ground.
"Such treatment. When will you realize I am a PRINCESS!?" Silver Tiger stood up. This was a rather bold statement for a girl with long messy hair dressed in rags and boots that seemed to be tied to her legs.
"Yeah whatever," Trunks replied sitting next to Goku, "Isn't Chi-chi going to be worried about you guys?"
"Yeah, but we're only staying long enough to ask Silver something," Goku looked at Silver Tiger.
She turned to them, "What about me?"
"We just wanted to know if you ever saw what that leader guy looked like," Goku quizzed her.
"What? Are you blind or something? Did you not see him for yourself?"
"I meant under the mask," Goku clarified.
"What is 'mask'?" Silver wondered out loud making everyone fall on his or her faces.
"Did you ever see him uh…take off his face?" Gohan got up, "Or perhaps your parents did?"
"No I never did," Silver shook her head looking at Gohan as if he were insane, then she turned to her parents and started laughing, "they said you are a funny human. Like any being could actually take off their face!"
Gohan sighed heavily and Goku shrugged, "I guess we'll have to find out on our own. Well, we have to go now, see you all tomorrow."
"Bye Goku," Bulma said right before Goku and Gohan disappeared using instant transmission.
Silver's eyes widened as she ran over to where Goku and Gohan had been. Then she glared at Trunks when it was clarified there disappearance was no trick.
"What?" Trunks snapped seeing Silver's mean glare, "What did I do this time?"
"Don't play dumb with me!" Silver Tiger hissed, "This whole thing is a scam! You're in with the leader of the Tiki tribe!"
"What?!" Trunks sat up in his taken aback by this.
"How else would those beings be able to disappear in thin air?" Silver continued to glower at him, growing colder by the minute.
"We're very special beings that's how," Trunks smirked at her.
"Whatever," Silver snorted.
"Okay guys I've got our rooms," Bulma turned to them.
"Cool," Trunks got up and walked to Bulma, but Silver kept on glaring.
Jiva nudged Silver's leg and she pat her head, "Don't worry mother, I'll sleep with one eye open."
"Hers your key," Bulma handed a hotel key to Silver, "and I have mine."
Trunks blinked, "what about me?"
"What about you?" Bulma opened her door and then turned to Silver, "oh Silver Tiger, do you mind if your parents stayed in my room. I'm afraid of another ambush."
Silver looked to Riwa and Jiva, "no they don't mind."
"Thanks you guys," Bulma let the two tigers in.
"Mom!" Trunks exclaimed.
"What Trunks?" Bulma looked at him.
"Where am I supposed to stay?!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Okay, here's the deal," Bulma began, "they only had to one bed rooms left…well goodnight guys!" With that Bulma ran into her hotel room and slammed the door.
"One bed!" Trunks exclaimed to the closed door then shouted, "Don't expect me to be a gentleman and let her have it!"
That's when Trunks heard the door slam behind him.
"Huh?" Trunks turned around and found himself alone in the hallway, "Noooooooo!"
After five minutes of slamming his fists on the door Silver finally let Trunks in.
"Well hope was I supposed to know you didn't sleep on beds?" Trunks muttered getting in the fluffy hotel bed.
Silver looked at him like he was an idiot and curled up on a soft blanket by the window.
Before Trunks knew it his mother was waking him up.
"What, what, WHAT?" Trunks snapped still groggy from his sleep.
"I bought you clothes," Bulma smiled holding up a pink button down shirt.
"For Silver?" Trunks preyed out loud.
"No for you silly," Bulma laughed dropping the shirt and a pair of khaki shorts on Trunks' bed.
"Is this all you got for me?" Trunks stared at the clothes in horror.
"No there's some Navy sweats and a white button down in that bag," Bulma pointed to a bag beside the blanket where Silver Tiger had been sleeping.
"Thanks ma," Trunks practically fell out of bed and crawled over to the bag.
"Oh yeah and I got you plenty of underwear," Bulma said as Silver came out of the bathroom.
Trunks turned bright red as Silver blinked looking at them. His head dropped as he muttered, "what is it that makes mothers say the most embarrassing things at all the wrong times?"
"Huh?" Bulma overheard then looked at Silver, "Oh, she didn't even know what underwear was."
Trunks looked up and stared at Silver who was now wearing a dark blue summer dress.
Bulma started to giggle as she looked at Silver, "you put it on backwards."
"How can you tell?" Silver looked down.
"Well many ways, but one key way," Bulma came over and showed Silver the tag of the dress, "this."
Silver groaned in frustration and pulled the dress off. Trunks tilted his head and watched her after pulling on clean boxers.
"I will never understand the concept of clothing," Silver struggled to get her bra off and Trunks' eyes widened.
"Stop, stop, stop," Bulma told Silver making her stop.
"MOM!" Trunks exclaimed falling over after tilting his head to far.
"See," Bulma pointed at Trunks, "that is why humans wear clothes because of the little perverts we have roaming around."
"Hmph," Trunks crossed his arms sitting up, "I'm no pervert…"
"Pervert…?" Silver asked Bulma curiously, "What is 'pervert'?"
Bulma sighed looking down at Silver than whispered in her ear.
"Ew," she scrunched up her face and looked at Trunks, "but I don't hind Trunks in the least bit attractive."
Trunks jaw dropped slightly, "that…really…hurt."
"No, no, no Silver, he's the perv not you," Bulma gave Trunks an evil eye then handed Silver back the dress.
Trunks sighed sadly thinking, it's one thing to be called a pervert by your own mother; it's another thing to be called ugly by a girl you hardly even know; but when both happen simultaneously you know something's wrong…
"I didn't say that you were ugly, I just find you unattractive," Silver clarified pulling the dress back on making Trunks look up in shock.
"Silver…I didn't say anything…" Trunks stood up nervously.
"Yes you did," Silver smiled in a perky sort of way, "you spoke the feline tongue."
"Huh?" Trunks blinked, "Cats speak telepathically?"
"Trunks, will you PLEASE get some clothes on? I'm tired of staring at your dragonballs." Bulma exclaimed annoyed.
Trunks pulled on the Navy blue sweats over his dragonball boxers and put on the button down shirt.
"So what's the plan for today?" Trunks asked as he buttoned his shirt, then stopped as he looked at Silver, "Hey…weren't your boobs bigger?"
"TRUNKS!" Bulma yelled smacking Trunks in the back of the head.
"What?! I couldn't exactly think it!" Trunks exclaimed then began to mutter as he walked out the room, "Now that she can read my mind and everything…"
"Well…you could at least spare me," Bulma replied following him out, and then stopped and turned to Silver, "aren't you coming Silver?"
She smiled, "I just have to use the bathroom."
"Oh ok, we'll wait for you in the lobby," Bulma said and closed the door as she walked out.
When Bulma and Trunks got to the lobby they found Goku there waiting for them.
"Where's Gohan?" Trunks questioned.
"Chi-chi wouldn't let him come," Goku scratched the back of his head, "she didn't like the idea of him being attacked by toothpick men."
A large sweat-drop rolled down Bulma and Trunks' forehead as Silver tilted her head and asked, "What is 'toothpick'?"
"Oh Silver! You're here!" Bulma said as Riwa and Jiva followed behind Silver, "I forgot to remind you to bring the dragonballs, do you have them?"
Silver nodded as Trunks examined her.
"What are you staring at human?" she glared at him, "A tiger who stared at me that way would've been exiled by now. Imagine what I'll do to a human."
"I know where the dragonballs are!" Trunks exclaimed.
Silver blinked nervously and put a finger to her lips, "shhhhhhh…."
"Riiiight," Bulma looked from one to another and then pulled out her dragon radar.
"We tried that before remember Bulma?" Goku put in, "It didn't work then, it's not going to work now."
"That's what you think," Bulma flashed the radar in Goku's face, all the other dragonballs were together on the screen, "it's 500 miles away. That's about 100 miles from where you guys were yesterday."
Vegeta tossed a rock against the wall of a closed in cell as several Tiki men stared at him from the large bars above. He stopped and scowled at them, then fired up a ki blast that destroyed them all. Yet, the bars stayed intact.
It doesn't make any sense, Vegeta thought as he began to toss the rock again; I should've been able to blast those bars down like nothing.
He thought back to yesterday when they first threw him in the cell. He was out cold of course, or else he would've blasted their little brains out and got away. Anyway, no matter how hard he tried (punched them, blasted them, kicked them, even tried to bend them) the bars would not budge.
"Power, my dear friend," a voice said and Vegeta looked up to see the Tiki leader, "power and strength are not everything."
"You listen to me you masked idiot," Vegeta stood up, "you let me outta here or I'll blow your brains out!"
The leader snorted and kept on walking barely missing a ki attack from Vegeta.
What is that supposed to mean anyway? Vegeta sat back down; of course power is everything!
"I'm hungry," Silver whined riding on Riwa's back as the gang roamed the jungle.
"Not this again…" Trunks sighed cutting branches and such out of the way.
"Starving!" Silver kept on growing ever more dramatic, "If I don't eat soon I think I might--"
Before she could even finish she fell off Riwa and passed out on the ground.
"Oh great," Trunks crouched beside her and started poking her, "c'mon, get up you dummy."
That's when Riwa and Jiva fell to the ground as well.
"What the…?" Goku blinked then jumped out of the way as a dart nearly hit him.
Bulma looked around nervously, then she too fell to the ground.
Trunks caught a dart right before it struck him in the neck and looked around to see where they were coming from.
"Psst," Trunks heard something and looked down at Silver, she still seemed unconscious but whispered, "get down you idiot."
"You aren't really--" Trunks started, but stopped when Silver showed him a dart in her right hand.
The next dart that aimed for Trunks, he caught, but fell back as if he had been hit.
"No Trunks!" Goku yelled out, "Not you too!"
As Goku turned his attention to Trunks he really got hit himself and fell flat on his face.
Suddenly they all felt themselves get sucked into the ground, just as the house had been.
