Author's Note -
Ok, this is going to be just a little short thing. It'll be referenced in
an up coming chapter of The Search For Prince Vegeta. I just decided to
write it first. Basically, one night my best friend and I were doing what
we do best, being weird, and the line, "Ding Dong the Bitch is Red."
popped into my mind and the next day on my lunch hour I wrote it. Hope you enjoy it! Tynan79

don't own DBZ, or any of the characters. I don't own anything to do with
Wizard of Oz.
Grounded
"Man, I can't believe it, this totally sucks!" 8 year old
Goten whined.
"Yeah, I know, your mom is such a bitch. BRA!!
Will you turn that stupid movie off?" 9 year old Trunks bellowed at his
sister, but forgot to move the phone.
Goten winced.
"Man Trunks, thanks a lot, now I'm deaf in that ear! Next time, move the phone or warn me before
you bellow! What's she watchin
anyway?" Goten switched the phone to
his good ear, and rubbed at the one still ringing.
Trunks sighed.
"That stupid movie Wizard of Oz. If I hear, 'Ding dong the witch is
dead.' One more time…" Trunks' voice
trailed off.
"You still there, Trunks?" Goten sounded concerned. He thought maybe Trunks had been caught on
the phone. Both boys were currently
grounded. They had pulled a practical
joke on Gohan, unfortunately ChiChi had caught them red handed. On the spot Goten was grounded and a quick
phone call to Bulma had gotten Trunks grounded as well.
There was nothing but silence on the other end, though he
could barely make out singing.
Suddenly, a shriek was heard followed by an almost insane laugh.
"HA! No more
Scarecrow! No more Lion! No more Tin Man! No more Toto! No more
Dorothy! And no more Wicked
Witch!" Trunks yelled triumphantly.
"I'm gonna tell mama!!!" Bra screamed at her brother.
"Go ahead. I'm
already grounded." Trunks said, Goten could tell his friend was smirking.
"Ok, sorry, I just had to kill that stupid thing. Anyway, where were we? Oh yeah, you're bitch of a mother." Trunks sighed.
Goten suddenly chuckled.
"Maybe if we pour water on her, she'll melt!" he said.
"Huh?" Trunks asked, clearly confused.
Goten sighed. "You
know, that's how they killed the second witch, they liquefied her."
"Yeah, but your mom's a bitch, not a witch. Hang on, dad's bellowing. Crap, I'm gonna go hide. I'll call ya back in a few minutes." Trunks hung and Goten went to make sure his
mom was still gone. She and Gohan were
no where to be seen.
A few minutes later, the phone rang.
"Hey man, all clear?" Goten asked.
"Yeah…ouch…I'm hiding in some sort of storage room way down
under the main complex. Seems Bra told
dad and turned on the water works, now not only am I gonna be grounded, but
beaten too. ACK! I think I'm bleedin! Oh…no wait, that's just red paint. So, what can we do to get back at your
mom?" Trunks suddenly realized Goten
was humming that damn song.
"Damnit Goten! Stop humming that
damn song! I don't want to hear
anything associated with the bitch being dead!"
"Witch." Goten corrected him.
"Wha?" Trunks asked as he started looking around for
something to wipe his hands off on. He
didn't want to get any of the red paint on his clothes.
"It's, 'Ding dong the witch is dead.' Not 'bitch is dead'."
"I know, that's what I said. Ding dong the bitch is red.
Damnit, I can't get this paint off!"
Goten started laughing.
His friend was clearly not paying attention. Finally Trunks found a rag and got rid of the paint.
"Goten, why are you laughing?" he asked while scooting away
from the evil paint.
"You said, 'Ding dong the bitch is red.'" Goten said, still
laughing.
As Trunks glared at the evil red paint, it hit him. "The bitch is red…That's it!" he shouted. Unfortunately, that gave away his location to
his father, who immediately started bellowing for him to come upstairs.
"Goten, meet me tomorrow at the lake, say around 12, k?" he
hung up the phone and dashed upstairs to meet his fate. If he was lucky, he could convince his
father that The Wizard of Oz wasn't appropriate for Bra because it had a
cowardly lion in it.
Goten hung up just as ChiChi walked inside. He smiled at his mom and helped her with the
groceries, while wondering what Trunks had planned.
*****
The next day, Goten waited for Trunks at the lake. Finally at almost 2, a very tired looking
Trunks showed up.
"Sorry, dad had me locked in the Gravity room, with it set
at 500 times Earths Gravity for the last 5 hours. He told me if I could shut it off, I was free to go."
Goten winced, then noticed what his friend was
holding. "Wassat?" he asked, pointing
at the object.
"Our revenge on your mother." Trunks said, and smirked just
like his father.
*****
ChiChi hummed softly to herself as she pulled weeds from
her garden. She felt a slight breeze,
rustling her hair. She sighed, it was
so wonderful out here. A little while
later, she felt another slight breeze.
She thought it odd that it had come from a different direction than it
had before. She looked at the clouds,
but it didn't look like it was about to storm.
She shrugged and stood up, dusting the dirt from her clothes. It was time to start dinner for her two
sons.
As she approached the back door, she noticed it was slightly
opened. She shook her head, Gohan must
not have closed it when he came home from school. She would have to remind him to be more careful. She pushed open the door, took one step in,
and felt something hit her. She
shrieked, and saw red. Literally. She was covered in red liquid, and there was
an empty paint can on the floor at her feet.
That was when she heard it. Two
voices singing, "Ding dong the bitch is red, the bitch is red, the bitch is
red, ding dong the wicked bitch is red…"
As she turned around to face the two boys, she saw a flash. When she could finally see again, she saw
Trunks and Goten, heading rapidly away from her, each holding a camera.
*****
Gohan, having heard his mother shrieking, had run down
stairs to see what was wrong. He stood
frozen in shock as he took in his mother, coated in red paint, using words he
had never heard her utter in his whole life.
He quickly backtracked to his room, grabbed his books and flew out the
window. He waited until he had reached
the safety of the woods before he started laughing. He fell to the ground, dropping his books, and continued
laughing, while Piccolo stood hovering in the air, wondering just what his
friend found so funny.
When Gohan was finally able to compose himself, he stood up,
grinning ear to ear at Piccolo and said, "You have got to see
what Goten and Trunks did to mom!"
