Chapter 4
* * * * * *
Goten went around the boat in high moods, and wanted to do something fun with his friends. Tallena mumbled an excuse about a girl thing going on with the rest of the girls, and Trunks told him that he had to help his dad fix a capsule (but he's not here?!! Goten thought).
He let out a puff of unhappy air, and got his skimpy little fishing rod and headed out to the dock.
Tallena was forced by Bulma to change into 'proper women' clothing for Goten's 16th birthday. She grumbled and came out of the changing cabin and showed Videl. Videl applauded, and turned to her daughter.
Pan smiled and snickered softly, for she was wearing Bermuda jeans and a red shirt, which was nothing near what a proper girl would wear at her age. Tallena glared at Pan with envy, but smiled sweetly at Videl who seemed to be very nice and decent out of all the girls she's met. Tallena could see where Pan got her bad taste from, her mom. Videl never found anything pretty, but fussed over others and how they looked.
Tallena tried on another dress that Bulma had put down for her to try. She tied the knot that wound near her stomach, and showed Videl and Pan. Videl looked up from her '17' magazine and smiled.
' Turn around abit, lets see how it looks on your figure' Videl told her and motioned with her finger. Tallena turned a full circle, trying to see if it looked nice on her. The white dress had straps that went around her bare stomach and intersected to her bottom dress part.
Pan went in her changing room, and came out with a white silky ribbon, waving it around.
' You forgot this! It'll make you look preee-eetty!' Pan gave her the ribbon. Tallena took the ribbon and went to the closest mirror and tied her silky brown hair back. She twirled around and looked at reflection. She looked okay, for what she knew. On her planet she was known for being what humans called the 'hot babe' and was known around every teen male on Ztar. She smiled, remembering her past. 'Now nothing will get in the way of my past, the future is now' she smiled and thought about Trunks and Goten. They both seemed really nice, and both of them were considered to be hunks in her eyes.
She put on her precious pearl earrings that helped her transform and put on her Oceanus perfume, and went to join the surprise party. She had to play the part of bringing Goten in to surprise him with Pan, and she got ready for her part. Bulma motioned for her to go and get Goten, and she nodded and ran towards where Goten was sitting glumly on a chair fishing.
' Goten....' She said behind him. He turned around and smiled at her, she looked really nice in her white gown. ' She must be up to something' he thought. ' But then, she's only been here for four days and how would she know it was my birthday today... ' He fully turned and faced her looking up at her slender figure.
' Would you like to come inside with me?' She said abit seductively, batting her eyelashes at him. He couldn't resist, she was pretty and was his age.
She grabbed his arm and led him to the room where everyone was hiding in, and before she opened the door, she kissed him lightly on the cheek. Goten's eyes went wide open and he blushed, and was attacked with surprise as everyone surprised him. Tallena smiled, still holding his hand, and led him inside where the party began. Music blared, and two figures formed on near the party. It was Gokou and Vegita, both using instant transmission. Gokou went up to his son and enveloped him in a huge bear hug.
' My son! Sixteen! Congratulations!' He told him and put down his present near the other huge pile. Everyone started dancing to the blaring music. Bulma danced with the reluctant Vegita, Gokou with Chi Chi who was weeping for her son happily, Pan danced along with Bra.
Goten & Trunks sat at a table and gobbled down the food in front of them. Tallena hadn't even finished a cheese stick when they practically demolished everything. Goten was in extreme paradise, and sat next to Tallena and Trunks (who were still eating).
Tallena glanced at the dancing couples. ' I assume that's the legendary Kakkorot,' she said looking at Gokou dance with Chi Chi like a fool, ' And that's the royal Prince Vegita that we got part of our DNA from' Trunks & Goten nodded, not finding this surprising.
Everyone was happily dancing, and enjoying the food. 18 was the dj; for she was the only decent person who had a taste in clothing and music. She put on a fast going song. Tallena's eyes perked up, it was her favorite song. She took off one of her pearl from her right earring and went to the nearest window . She changed (or dissolved?) into a different outfit that would match the dance 'feeling'.
Going up to the birthday boy, she took his hand and led him to the dance floor. She started dancing, and was surprised to see that he was a pretty good at dancing. Goten looked at Tallena, who was extremely pretty in that outfit she changed into, and danced along swishing her silky hair.
Gohan sat next to his wife, and watched Goten & Tallena.
Videl looked into her husbands gaze and commented, ' I think he has a thing for that shape-shifter. ' Gohan looked carefully at his little brother.
' Hmm. I don't know, but if he does I hope he's making the right choice. Anyway, I don't want to interfere...' He watched Tallena say something to Goten, making him smile and blush. ' Yeah.... he does..'He thought and focused his attention on his wife who was yakking about some problem with Mr. Satan.
Goten's cheeks burned with redness after Tallena said that he was an excellent dancer. The song finished, and was switched to a slow snog. Goten was about to step up to her for the dance when Trunks tapped Tallena lightly on the shoulders.
' May I have this dance?' he asked them. Goten nodded, and headed for the punch bowl. He poured a cup, and sat down. Trunks held Tallena to him, and then went on dancing like a perfect couple. Goten shook his head and looked onto the others. Vegita was quite
enjoying the song with his mate. Pan, Bra & Lil' Marron held hands in a circle and danced. 18 was practically controlling Krullin, and Videl was tying to persuade Gohan to dance. Yamcha just danced by himself, lonely.
' At least he's not the only one.. ' Goten mumbled.
Tallena closed her eyes and rested her head on Trunks should, moving back and forth slowly. She was mesmerized by the tune, and was moving to the slow beat. Tallena figured that Trunks wasn't as good as a dancer as Goten was, but he had a great bod though. She laughed at herself for thinking such a foolish thought.. Tallena missed a beat and wound up stepping on Trunks' foot. She just realized, ' But then why do I have affections for him and Goten so much?' She wondered as she opened her eyes again once the music stopped. She was confused, her feelings were betraying her against...
18's voice blared on the speakers. ' AAANDDD now! the reason why we all came here, is to celebrate Son Goten's b-day!' Everyone cheered and clapped, and the two went over to Goten.
' Okay.. As to celebrate your birthday..' Chi Chi paused looking at her youngest son. Gokou finished off her sentence. ' We're going to take you on a tour to see the legendary Titanic!' Goten's jaw sprang open, faking surprise because he didn't even know what the heck the Titanic was, and knew everyone would be disappointed.
Trunks whispered to him, ' Its a famous American ship that sank because of an iceberg and is 'down' in history...'
' Oh.....'
