:::Artemis trips over the microphone cord, then tries to walk gracefully the rest of the way:::
Artemis: Eh...heh, heh, after that little fall there, I sort of lost my short term memory, so hopefully, you guys know what I was suppose to talk about...eh....should I go?
F.F: Yeah...(-_-;;)....I guess so...*grumbles* where do I find these people.....
:::Curtain Closes:::
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was finally the day of departure. To make traveling easier, all of them had gathered at Capsule Corps to use one of Bulma's huge jet-planes that they could all fit in. Though they weren't coming with them, Krillen's familly came to see them off.
"Gee guys, sorry we can't come, but we're going to see my brother this year," said Krillen, handing Goku a mountain load of presents.
Eighteen sighed. " We'd go see my brother, but he's in Hell and all..."
Marron's eyes were welled with tears. "I wanna go..."
"I'm sorry kiddo, but you can't have everything you want,"Krillen patted her on the back.
Marron's bottom lip began to tremble. " WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! I *sniff* wanted to go *sniff* with Auntie Hotaru *sniff* so I could *sniff* play with her *long pause* FUNNY-SHAPED-BALLOONS!!!!!!"
"Funny-shaped-balloons?"
Hotaru clamped a hand over Marron's mouth. "Don't ask."
"Hmmm.....Oooookaaaayyy......"
"Oh just let her go if it'll make her happy. How much fun can she have with your brother--the monk," Eighteen rolled her eyes.
Krillen groaned. "Eighteen...."
She gave him the death glare. "Short man...."
Krillen finally gave in (so he wouldn't get killed by his wife) and let Marron go, with Bulma's permission of course.
"Good Grief Chichi, how many bags did you pack?" asked Goku, who was holding so many luggage carriers, it would have sunk the Titanic.
"Only forty-three....I want to be prepared! What would you do if the cabin was filthy, and you forgot to bring a can of Lysol? What would you do then?" Chichi scolded.
"Live in an unsanitary cabin I guess!"
Chichi sweatdropped and lead her misguided husband on the plane.
Vegeta was sitting in the cockpit looking at all of the buttons.
"Woman! How do you drive one of these?!"
Bulma marched in. "I'm flying this plane! Get out of here Vegeta! You'd kill us all if you flew this thing!"
"I could do that without this oversized bird!"
"Vegeta, go be usefull and attempt to socialize with some people."
"Damn woman thinks she's so smart just because she knows how to drive a bird," he grumbled to himself.
"Planetrip! planetrip! planetrip! planetrip!planetrip! planetrip! planetrip! planetrip! planetrip! planetrip! planetrip! planetrip!" said a very hyper active Goten.
"......You're not going to say that the whole way are you?" Trunks cocked an eyebrow.
"Planetrip?"
"Oh Kami...."
"Planetrip!(^_^)"
Gohan glanced at Usagi, who was falling asleep on his shoulder.
"Uhhh, Diana? Should I wake her up? She's starting to drool and or snore..."
"Oh, let her sleep. She spent all of last night trying to explane Chrismas to Vegeta...he still doesn't understand eggnog...."
"Ohh...."
Soon the plane took off and they were in the air.
"How about we sing a song to pass the time!"said Goku.
"I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves....." started Goten.
Marron and Goku joined in. "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes..."
Trunks started banging his head against the wall, anything was better than the sound of their voices.
Vegeta was getting irritated beyond end, and we all know irritating Veggie-head is never a good idea.
"Kakorot....."
"Are you making a song request Vegeta?"
Vegeta picked up Goten by the scruff of the neck. "If you don't shut that hole in your face there will only be one Kako-spawn! Do I make myself clear?!"
"Ahh, how about we sing something else ? Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a faithful trip! That started on this island port aboard this tiny ship! The mate was a mighty sailor man, The skipper brave and sure!....
Vegeta started building ki for a final flash attack.
"Shut up Dad! He means business!" Goten shouted!
Goku pouted. "Both of you are party poopers."
Bulma could hear them arguing from the cockpit.
"Uh-oh, I better think of some king of distraction before those two blow up the plane! I know! An inflight movie!"
She pressed a button and her voice was heard on the intercom.
"Okay people, for your enjoyment, we will be viewing a movie. Your choices are: The Brave Little Toaster..."
Everyone says no except for Marron.
"...Clueless...."
"Hell No!!" says pretty much everyone.
"....or Rush Hour 2....."
"Eh...."
"Well, since "eh" was the best answer I got, your watching Rush Hour2."
A huge screen pops out and begins to play.
"What the Hell is a movie?" Vegeta asked.
"Sit. Watch the screen," said Usagi(who was now awake) in a monotone voice.
"But why? That's so boring!"
"JUST DO IT!!!"
"Fine!"
The scene starts out in Lee's car. Carter is flirting with a couple of girls in the car next to them. He says the wrong thing, and they drive off.
Lee ...(singing) Wish they could all be California girls...
Carter:(throws away C.D. ) I warned you about playing that shit while I'm in the car.
"Oohh! He said a bad word!" both Marron and Goten said at the same time.
The rest of the room turns to them. "SHUT UP!!!"
Lee: That was my C.D.! Don't youever touch a Chinese man's C.D.!
Carter: Did you see the way those girls drove off? I did you a favor!
Lee: Those girls drove off because of you!
Carter: All I did was invite them for a drink.
Lee: You invited them to get naked and sacrifice a small goat.
Carter: I said that?
"These movies are very entertaining! Can you find these movies anywhere else?" asked Veggie-head.
"Shut up Dad... you're embarrassing me..."Usa groaned.
Lee: You owe me a copy of Beach Boys Greatest Hits Volume II
Carter: Don't give me any attitude Lee, we've been here for four days and we haven't done shit. We haven't been to a club, haven't talked to a girl. I'm on vacation and I want some mu-shu!
Lee: Mu-shu? you're hungry?"
"I know I am!" said Goku, patting his belly.
"Goku, nobody was talking to you!" shouted Chichi.
"Oh....well I'm hungry anyways!"
Carter: Not mu-shu. Mu-shu! I want some women. Now stop playing dumb and show me the shu!
"A-men to that!" yelled Trunks.
(The superintendent calls Lee's cell phone)
Superintendent: Lee, there's been a bombing at the American Embassy. Two translators were killed.
Lee: Any leads?
S.I: We think it's Ricky Tan. If you don't take the case, I'll understand.
Lee: It's my responsibility.
(hangs up)
Carter: What was that? Did you just pick up another case? Did you pick up another damn case on my vacation?"
Lee: Of course not. My superintendent just invited us to a club tonight, big party.
Carter: Don't be messin' with me Lee. I will kick your ass! I will kick it so hard that you end back up in the Ming Dynasty!
Chichi looks at the box the movie came in.
"Pg-13! Kids! You shouldn't be watching this! Get out of this room!"
"What do you want us to do? Jump off the plane?!" Trunks yelled.
"YOU CAN FLY CAN'T YOU??!!"
Goten groaned. "Mom....."
Lee: Would I lie to you?
(scene cuts to night club)
Lee: I'll meet you in the bar in ten minutes. They don't like tourists here so try to blend in.
Carter: Blend in? I'm two feet taller than anyone else here! Where are you going?
Lee: Bathroom.
(Carter watches an old man attempt to sing)
Carter: That is the worst singing I've ever heard! That sounds like something you'd hear in prison after the lights go out.
(Carter goes up to the stage and starts singing "Don't stop 'till you get enough")
All of a sudden, the screen flickers, then goes haywire, then goes completely black. Vegeta was upset to say the least. In anger, he threw a large ki blast at the screen, blowing it to pieces.
"DAMNIT!! It was only fifteen minutes into the film! How am I suppose to know what happens to Lee and Carter if the screen goes black!! HOW!!! I ask you HOW!!!"
Bulma steps from the cockpit.
"Hey, I heard a crash, what happens? Lemme guess, Vegeta blew up something right?"
Everyone stared at her like she had just become a crossdresser.
"Bulma, honey, if you're out here, then who's in the cockpit?" asked Chichi shakily.
"......................."
"Bulma?"
"....................We're going to die....................oops....................."
The next five minutes were indescribable mayhem. Yes, eventually the plane crashed, but because it landed in a nice and soft marshmellow factory, there were no causalities. Vegeta was unconscious, but everyone was pretty happy he wouldn't be screaming his head off about how his woman couldn't drive a bird.
"If I ask my parents to go vacationing with you guys again, somebody slap me," said Marron, whose hair was charred black.
"Mom, I think you should sleep with one eye open tonight," said Trunks. Behind him, everyone was either building ki blasts, or holding a lethal weapon of some kind.
"Now lets not get hasty, we don't want to do anything we'd regret later,"said a very, very, afraid Bulma.
"Stepmother, run, " said Usa.
Bulma was chased over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house....I mean ski lodge. Somehow they managed to carry both Vegeta and the luggage, the luggage that was left anyways. By the time they reached the lodge, everybody was either too tired to chase Bulma, or had decided to forgive and forget.
"Do you promise when I turn my back to talk to the receptionist you won't try to kill me." asked Bulma.
The group sighed a yes.
"Alright." She turned to the front desk receptionist. "We reserved two 4-roomed cabins under the name Briefs"
The receptionist looked up from his glasses. "I'm sorry,but I think we've overbooked you. This is the busy season you know."
"Excuse me? You gave our cabin's away?"
"Yes ma'me, we're very sorry."
Bulma lost it. "You just gave our cabins away and all you can say is I'm sorry? My personal plane just crashed, my husband is unconscious, and I"ve just been chased here from a marshmallow factory by a large group of Saiyans and their relations! And now you tell me I don't even have a place to stay? I oght to have my husband kick your ass to Timbuktu when he wakes up!!!"
"Security...."
"Wait! Wait!" She didn't want to be hasseled by security on hr Christ mas vacation. She did that enough with Vegeta at home.
"Uh, do you have anything else we could possibly rent since our plane is....er....broken?
The man with the horn-rimmed glasses sneered. "We do still have one lonely cabin left..."
Bulma bit down on her bottem lip.
When Veggie-head wakes up he's going to be awful mad that he sharing a room with Goku ....oh well, he won't try to kill me on Christmas....will he?....
Bulma built up all of her courage and said yes. He gave her the key and pointed in the direction of the cabin was. She gritted her teeth and turned to her friends.
"Hey, guess what guys? We all get to be roomies!!"
Silence.
"Did 'ya hear me? Roomies!!"
"How did you screw up this time?!?!!??" yelled Hotaru.
Many others stated their accusations as well.
"Now, now, don't be so upset. We were overbooked that's all," said Bulma.
"OVERBOOKED??!! LEMME TALK TO THE MANAGER!!!!!" screamed Usagi, marching up to the front desk.
"HELLO? Anybody home?!?!"
The rude receptionist swiveled around. "Yeah, what do you want?"
"I WANT SOME SERVICE!!!! I heard you overbooked us, I'm not too happy about that!!"
"Oh really? What are you going to do about it?"
"I'M GONNA SHOVE A SNOW SHOE UP YOUR--"
Gohan covered up her mouth.
"Forgive her, she didn't take her Midol this morning."
"Apparently..."
Miraculousl, they both calmed down Usagi and made their way up to the cabin without being called down for security(again.)
Unfortunately, Vegeta woke up.
"What happened? The last thing I remember is Carter talking about mu-shu....." he grumbled.
Bulma smiled to herself. Ohgood, he forgot I wrecked the plane....
"You....uh....hit your head when you were sparring with Goku...."
"Ahh, well, I'm tired, where's my bedroom?"
"Um....about that....we're sharing this cabin with the Sons...."
"...................."
"Tee, hee, hee?"
As usual, Vegeta lost it, and Goku had to K.O. him to get him to shut up.
"How many times is he going to be unconscious today?" Gohan asked, dragging him over to the couch.
"Guys, I'm really sorry about this whole mess.." said Bulma.
"Yeah, yeah..."sighed the group.
"Well, I'm pretty bushed myself. What about sleeping arrangements?" yawned Goku.
"How about adults in one room, kids in the other?" Bulma suggested.
Chichi shook her head. "You see the problem in that don't you?" she said, pointing to Usagi and Gohan, who were currently seeing who was more ticklish.
"Oh Chichi, have a little faith, nothing's going to happen." (A/N: Suuuuuuurrrrreeeeee.......)
"Yeah, that's what you said when Vegeta moved in....and then someone happened to get pregnant......"
"You know that won't happen, Vegeta won't let anyone touch "His little girl."
"Alright, if you say so..."
They decided to use Bulma's suggestion and they moved into their respective rooms. In the children's room, there were two double beds and a roll away.
"Alright, who'll be sleeping with who?" Gohan asked.
Trunks and Hotaru looked at each other, then at Usagi and Gohan, and started cracking up.
Gohan smacked his forhead. "I'm dealing with sex-crazed loons...."
The sleeping arrangement(after a much heavy weighted discussion) was finally made out to be:
Usagi& Goten
Trunks& Gohan
Hotaru& Marron
(Diana would sleep by the fire.)
"Oh great, I have to sleep with a bookworm, and Marron gets to sleep with a babe! Where's the justice in that?" yelled Trunks.
(Wu Fei: INJUSTICE!!! F.F: Aw, put a sock in it!!)
They played rock, paper, scissors to see who would have to sleep in the roll away. The poor half-Saiyan boys were the unfortunate ones.
"Sorry guys, but you lost fair and square," said Usa, getting into bed.
"Sorry-you-lost-fair-and-square-my ass!!! YOU CHEATED!!!!" Trunks pouted.
"How can you cheat in rock paper scissors?"
"I don't know, but you did!!!"
"Can it and turn out the lights!"
The lights were switched off, and Gohan and Trunks grumbled as they climbed into their roll away.
"Usa?" said Goten, peeking under the covers.
"What do you want Goten?"
"Where do babies come from?"
"................."
"Where?"
"Shut up and ask your mother."
"How can I shut up and ask my mother at the same time?"
"Don't try my patience Goten, or I'll make you bunk with my dad."
Goten ducked his head back under the covers. "I'll be good!"
"Yeah, yeah, goodnight."
"Goodnight Usagi," he said, snuggling up next to her.
And so the first day of Christmas-Hell began........
