~-=Chapter 3: Let's Go Hunting!=-~



"Let's see… do you see anything, Goten?"

"No, I don't see anything, Trunks…"

"Hey! Look! Is that what I think it is..?"

"It's a chicken! Let's go get it!!"

"KAMEHAMEHA!!!!!!" Goten shouted and ki blasted the chicken to oblivion.

Ba-KAW!!! BOOOM!!! Sizzle sizzle…

"GOTEN!!! You STUPID… AAARGHH!!!!!!!" Trunks was very frustrated with his best friend.

"What!? WHAT!?" Goten was puzzled beyond reason.

"It's a pile of ASHES!!! WE CAN'T EAT ASHES!!! UURRGGGHH!!!!!" Trunks yelled angrily.

Goten and Trunks were in the woods, hunting for food. So much for the chicken they found… It's just one of the cons of being part Saiyan… you're too strong for your own good! Also noting the fact that everyone is HUNGRY… Hungry Saiyans never really make the best decisions if you know what I mean.. Goku is a prime example. Meanwhile… near the campsite…

"Gohan, you're not going to catch any fish by just staring at them…"

"But Videl.. the fishies look so yummy…." Gohan began to drool like a rabid dog.

"SON GOHAN-KUN! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Videl shouted and slapped Gohan across the face several times. KA POW!! KA POW!!! KA POW!!!!!!

"Gyah! GYAH! GYAAAAHH!!! Huh? Wha? Oh, thanks Videl.. I really needed that.. heh heh…"

Then, Videl stepped into the shallow river.

"Videl! What're you doing!?"

"I'm going to catch some fish!"

"But Videl! Those aren't normal fish!! They're--…"

"AHHH!!! GOHAAAN!!! THEY'RE BITING ME!!!!!"

"They're piranhas.. Hold on Videl! I'LL save you!!!" yelled Gohan in his Great Saiyaman voice and jumped into the river after Videl.

~~Back at the forest…~~

"Trunks look! A BEAR!!!"

"Let's go get it, Goten!"

"YEAH!!"

And so the mad chase for the bear began… Twisting and turning throughout the forest, the bear having NO IDEA what fate had in store for it. Goten tripped over some tree roots and fell into a VERY DEEP HOLE while Trunks ended up bashing himself into a TREE…SEVERAL times. Eventually, the two demi-saiyans became too frustrated chasing the bear and resorted to using ki-blasts.

"UUURRRGGHH!! I don't want to chase the bear anymore!!!" Goten whined. "I'll ki-blast it!" he yelled.

"Now Goten, make sure you control your power before you ki-blast an animal you're going to eat…"

"NEVERMIND!! You do it, Trunks!"

"Fine, if you say so.. HAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Trunks fired an iridescent beam at the bear single handedly. A VERY BIG iridescent beam to be exact…

RRROOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!!! THUD!!!!! Crack! Sizzle sizzle…. POP! ..sizzle…

"TRUNKS!!!!!!!"

Well… so much for the bear… Trunks ki-blasted the big fuzzy thing to oblivion. Goten and Trunks simply stared at the HUGE pile of ashes in front of them, which was still sizzling and smoking. Mr. Fuzzles go Bye Bye!

"::sniff sob:: Trunks! What're we gonna do!? I'M STARVING!!!!!" Goten groaned. "And I don't like "Crispy Critters"!!! They taste yucky!!!"

"Shut up, Goten! Let me think!!! ::eats a handful of some of the ashes::" But that wasn't the smartest thing for Trunks to do. His eyes began to bulge out of their sockets, turn red, and started to water immensely. "BLEH!!! ::gag:: Ok, THAT was the stupidest thing I've done today…"

"Great job, Sherlock.." Goten smirked.

"Shut up, Watson!" Trunks snapped.

"Hey look! Berries!" Trunks chirped. He lunged at the bush full of bright red berries.

"Ummm, Trunks? I don't think you should eat those…" Goten suggested.

"Who cares!? It's food!" replied Trunks and took a handful of berries and popped them into his mouth.

"B-but Trunks!!!" Goten cried. He was obviously very worried.

"URK… oh KAMI!!!" yelped Trunks and ran over to a bush. Trunks ended up blowing chunks everywhere…it was also a very disturbing sight for Goten.

"T-Trunks?! Are you okay?!" Goten still sounded very worried and started to feel quite sick as well.

"Does it LOOK like I'm okay, Goten!? HUH!? …urk.. BLEEH!!!" Trunks continued to gag and throw up. "Why didn't you warn me that these would make me sick, Goten!?"

"I did but—"

"OK, NEVERMIND!! FORGET IT!! Uhnnn…!" Trunks clutched at his stomach in pain. 'Idiot..' he thought to himself.

"Oh yeah, umm Trunks?"

"Grr… What.."

"What does "get jiggy with it" mean?"

"………….." Trunks was just too annoyed...and sick to answer Goten's question.

Back at the Campsite again…Gohan and Videl decide that fishing is a VERY bad idea… not to mention that both of them almost turned into either a Gohan Salad or a Videl Burrito. So the couple is now seen in the forest, foraging for food.

"Hey look! Mushrooms!" Gohan chirped.

"But aren't those poisonous, Gohan?" Videl questioned. The mushrooms didn't look all that tasty either.

"I studied mushrooms since I was little! I'm PRETTY sure that these are edible…" Gohan answered. 'But what if these AREN'T edible?' Gohan thought to himself. 'Well, I'm desperate right now, so I'll just have a bite… a bite shouldn't hurt..' ((A/N: Oh yeah. You should NEVER eat mushrooms out in the wild…))

Gohan picked one of the mushrooms from the damp ground and took a big bite. CHOMP!

"So how is it… does it taste ok…? Do you feel sick?" Videl asked while scratching the back of her head.

"Uhnnn…" Gohan didn't look too good and started to turn a bit purple.

"G-Gohan..?"

"Hehehehehehe… I see all the sounds and hear all the colors…." Gohan's speech was slurred. 'That's strange.. Everything's spinning around and it's all purtyful…' he thought to himself.

"WHAT!?" Videl shrieked. 'Is Gohan hallucinating?' she thought to herself. She stepped back a few feet.

"No Videl! You'll fall off of the cloud! Watch out!" Gohan cried. His eyes seemed glazed over with glue.

'Kami, he's hallucinating.. great…' Videl thought. "What the… GOHAN! Where are you going!?"

Gohan began running around the forest like a mad man, laughing maniacally and flapping his arms around like a turkey… not to mention making turkey noises as well… Videl quickly chased after the hallucinating Gohan.

"GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!!! BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! TURKEY TURKEY TURKEY!!!!!" Gohan wreaked havoc in the forest while chasing a flock of forest pigeons.

"Gohan! Come back! Stop!!!" Videl screamed. 'Who knows what he'll do next!?'

Suddenly, while chasing Gohan, Videl noticed a beehive hanging on a nearby tree. 'Kami, don't let Gohan near that! DON'T LET GOHAN NEAR THAT!!!!"

~At Dende's/Kami's Lookout~

"Hey Mr. Popo. I think Gohan has been having a bit too much fun lately, don't you agree?" asked Dende.

"Well… I don't think a FEW problems would hurt Gohan..." Mr. Popo replied.

"Yeah, that's what I thought.. Thanks, Mr. Popo."

~~Back in the Woods with Gohan and Videl~~

"OOH! A GIANT JELLY DONUT!" Gohan shrieked and dove after the beehive, STILL HALLUCINATING. Then, Gohan grabbed a hold of the beehive, fell out of the tree branch with a THUD, and eventually started gnawing at it.

"NO! GOHAN NO!! NO NO NO!!! Leave that ALONE!!! IT'S A BEEHIVE!!!!!!" Videl screamed with all of her might. 'I could handle you gnawing rocks.. BUT A BEEHIVE!!!' she thought to herself. All of a sudden, Gohan returned back to his normal SANE state and the hallucinations faded away.

"What the.. where am I..? What am I… AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! BEEHIVE!!!!! GET IT AWAY!!! GYA!!! MY TONGUE IS ALL SWOLLEN!!!" Gohan screeched, his speech was painfully impaired. 'And why the hell do I have wax in my mouth!? Oh no! It must've been that EVIL MUSHROOM!' he thought. "RUN VIDEL!!! RUN!!!!!" Then he muttered under his breath, 'I'm gonna kill you, Dende!!!'

Gohan and Videl were running like hell through the woods with an angry swarm of bees swarming after them. Both of them received painful stings from the evil insects and Gohan's face began to swell like a balloon on steroids.

"Look! There's the campsite!" Videl yelled.

"We'll be safe in the water! HURRY!!!" Gohan yelled, grabbed Videl, and jumped into the river… ….The same river that was infested with PIRANHAS.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Their painful screams were heard throughout the forest. KER-SPLASH!

~~Back to the Woods with Trunks and Goten~~

MOOOOOOO!!!

"Trunks! Did you hear what I just heard!?" Goten squeaked. His stomach was also growling very menacingly.

"Yeah.. It's a COW!!!" Trunks chirped. His stomach growled also.

"NO ki-blasts..right?" Goten replied.

"Right." Trunks agreed.

"Ready? On the count of three, we tackle Mr. MooMoo.." Trunks whispered.

"1……2……3!!!!!!" both demi-saiyans yelled in unison and charged towards the cow.

~~Will Goten and Trunks be able to catch Mr. MooMoo!? Or will one of them ki-blast it to oblivion!? And what about Gohan and Videl!? What does fate have in store for them!? You'll find out in Chapter 4: The Hunt Continues!
