Chapter 9
Goten felt like he'd been wondering around the mountain paths for an eternity. They'd been to the left, to the right, up to the top and down to the bottom and every other direction in between more than once- and still they hadn't found anything. Goten finally gave up and fell down on the hard surface in defeat. His companion turned to see him and grew very agitated with him. He rolled his eyes and put his hands sternly on his hips while balancing the book under his right arm.
"Get up Goten!" Trunks yelled, "we have to keep looking. It's got to be around here some where."
"I don't know Trunks, that's what you said last time- and the time before that, and the time before that and the time before that and the-"
"Okay I get it already," Trunks sighed and sat down next to his friend finally admitting defeat as well, "I have no idea where this stupid gate is." He threw the book down in between them and fell backwards on the ground. "Gohan is the only one that knows and he's probably dead by now if my dad had anything to do with it."
"Your probably right," Goten sighed. He then looked at the picture in the book. Something caught his attention and he grabbed the book up placing it in his lap to take a better look. After studying it for a moment he slapped himself on the head for being so dense. "Trunks!"
"What now Goten?"
"I think I know where the gate is."
"Yeah right, how could you understand it, there's too many words and too few pictures for you," he sighed.
"I didn't read the words but just look at this picture," he shoved the book in Trunks face forcing him to look. Trunks leaded away from it to focus then jumped up book in hand when he saw what his friend had. He too slapped himself on the head for being so stupid.
"How could we be so dumb! It's not on the mountain at all- it's above it!!!" he then examined the picture and the surrounds to try and see where exactly they needed to be. "There!" He pointed up and to the right. "It's over there! Come on!" With their hope renewed the two boys took off to open the gate.
"Okay now that we're here," Goten began, "how does the gate open?"
"It's simple, all you have to do is..." Trunks stopped and thought for a moment, "um, well you see you just have to... to do that thing- yeah! And it opens right up!!!" Trunks had no idea how to open the gate but he thought he at least let Goten think he knew while he figured it out.
"Oh," Goten in awe, "I would have never figured it out."
"Yeah well it takes a super smart sayian to do it," Trunks bragged while he looked in the book to figure it out.
"Trunks?" Goten poked him on the arm.
"Yeah what, can't you see I'm busy?" Trunks sighed as he continued to look in the book.
"Well, aren't you going to open it now?" Goten asked.
"Just a minute I have to get this just right or we'll... well we'll be sent to an alternate universe and die more than likely. So don't rush me," Trunks lied.
"Take your time!" Goten said, "but are you almost done?"
"Screw this!" Trunks tossed the book above him. The book then froze in mid air. A blue light shot out of it creating a gigantic block of light. The book then began to spin in circles as the light got brighter and brighter. Then the light disappeared and the book was gone. However in it's place was a huge ancient wooden door with some kind of carvings in it. The handle alone was as big as Goten's entire body. The boys starred up at it in amazement.
"That was really cool!" Goten's smile widened, "And we didn't even get sucked into that bad place!"
"Uh-huh," Trunks was shocked that it was that simple, "well are we going to stare at the door all day or go in?"
"Let's go in!!!" Goten jumped up and down with excitement.
"All right, but let me to the talking," Trunks informed him as he took hold of the door handle and began to pull. He pulled with all his might but the door didn't even move, "A little help here Goten!"
"No problem," the two boys pulled with all their might against the door and slowly it began to open. Finally it was opened all the way. The boys starred into the other side before rushing in. It was actually a beautiful place. The grass was green and moving with the gentle breeze. The blue sky and the tall mountains leading to a plain in the distance was breath taking.
"Wow," Goten finally gasped, "this is not what I pictured."
"Me either," Trunks agreed. They then entered the door.
