Organ music plays and, always one to make a flashy entrance, the Authoress
appears in a flash of light. She's wearing a long black cape and silver
half-mask, standing on a stage at an empty old theatre. The organ stops.
ME: Good evening mortals, and welcome the final instalment of my horror- fest, DDRAGONBALL Z HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! (Organ plays a quick solo, and then stops again.) But before I entertain you with the final tale of Horror/Humour, something must be said. DISCLAIMER!
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE DRAGONBALL Z CHARACTERS, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WANT THEM, FOR THEY ARE PROPERTY OF AKIRA TORIYAMA AND FUNIMATION STUDIOS. LIFE'S SO UNFAIR.

Note: This story is not an AU. It's set a little while after the Buu saga.
Another note: Some characters may seem a little OOC.
"Waaaaaaaah!" Trunks Briefs ran down the corridors of Capsule Corporation at top speed, his best friend Goten hot on his heels. They burst through the main doors and sprinted out into the garden where the rest of the Zfighters were having a barbecue. Or at least trying to have a barbecue. Bulma had (rather stupidly) asked Vegeta, Goku and Gohan to help her get it started, and they managed to blow it up in her face. Needless to say, she was extremely pissed-off by this point. "What the HFIL's wrong now Trunks?" She barked. He ran to her and hid behind her legs. Goten ran over to Chi- chi.
"Oh it was horrible." He looked up at her. "We were out in the woods and we came across this big old house. We went up to the door and knocked, but there was nobody home."
"Yeah! And then Trunks dared me to go inside." Goten yelled from where he was cowering behind his mother.
"Did not!"
"Yes you did Trunks, you said I had to stop being such a big chicken!"
"I did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did no…."
"BOYS!" Bulma yelled at them. She looked down at Trunks. "Then what happened?" Trunks looked up at her again. "And then I said we should both go in, and when we did there were…. there were….." He looked over at Goten, and then they both said at once.
"THERE WERE SCARY GHOSTS!" All the adults blinked.
"Ghosts?"
"Yeah! And they chased us all about the house!" Goten said fearfully. Goku and Vegeta looked at each other, then they both fell to the floor laughing. Vegeta was the first to recover. "Y-you got chased by, hahahaha! You got chased by ghosts?" He rolled over laughing again. Goten and Trunks looked angry.
"Yeah, so what? You would be scared too if you saw them!"
"Uh huh, you would!"
It took a while to get Goku to stop laughing, and it took Vegeta even longer. But eventually, they both got to feet and Goku said. "Aw come on guys, you don't still believe in ghosts at your age?"
"Kakarott's right brats. There's no such thing as ghosts. You're both getting worked up over nothing." Vegeta added with a smirk. Trunks was annoyed. "Well if you guys are so brave, why don't YOU spend a night in the spook house. That shut them up. Bulma smirked. "Yeah, come on macho man. You're not AFRAID are you?"
"W-what?" Vegeta spluttered. "Me, afraid? I'm the prince of all Saiyans, I don't get scared!" He grabbed Goku by the arm. "Come on Kakarott, let's show them a true Saiyan fears nothing!" He looked over at Gohan. "You too brat."
"Wha…? Why me? I didn't have anything to do with this!" Videl smirked at him and said. "What's the matter Gohan, surely YOU'RE not scared?"
He jumped up off his chair. "Scared? No way, I don't get scared! Come on guys!" He took Goku's other arm and he and Vegeta marched out, trailing a very confused Goku behind. Chi-chi walked over to Bulma.
"How long d'you think they'll last?"
Bulma smiled. "I'll give them four hours, until it gets dark at least."
"Well the kids certainly weren't lying." Goku said as they approached the house. "It does look a little scary." Gohan smiled at his father. "Yeah, I can see why they'd be so scared. It's creepy looking."
"Well it's too late to chicken out now, brat." Vegeta said. "We've got to show those onnas back at Capsule corp. who's boss."
"Ahh, so this is some male-pride thing."
"Shut up Kakarott!" They flew down to the door. Goku knocked.
"Nobody home, just like Trunks and Goten said." He looked at his comrades. "Shall we?"
"Be my guest Kakarott." Goku looked at him strangely. Gohan sighed. "He means open the door Dad."
"Oh, right." He grabbed the handle and the door fell off its hinges. "Let's go!" the three of them stepped inside, into the blackness.
They had been exploring the house for a couple of hours now, and still no signs of ghostly activity. It was starting to get dark.
"Did you bring the candles Vegeta?" Gohan asked. "'Cos maybe we should light a couple now, it's getting hard to see." Vegeta took three candles out of his bag, and a box of matches. "The first thing I'm gonna do tomorrow is ask the woman to make these things come in capsules." He grumbled, at he lit the candles. He handed one out to Goku and one to Gohan. "Now whatever you do, don't drop them. I only brought six. So that's two for each of us." He addressed this comment to Goku in particular, knowing that he would drop one of his candles.
"What?" Goku said innocently. "I'm not going to drop it. Why do you always think I'll be the one who screws something up?"
"Because you're the one who always do…."
"Sssssh!" The two men looked over at Gohan, who was straining to hear something. "Listen, I thought I heard something." The three of them say and listened. They could hear a faint thumping noise, it was coming from the upper level of the house. Goku looked slightly freaked. "What d'you think it is?" He asked them. Gohan looked at him. "I don't know, it's probably just Trunks and Goten trying to scare us." Vegeta sneered. "Yeah, I bet my stubborn mate put them up to it. So they would make us looks like cowards, well it's not working. Right guys?"
THUMP! They all looked up. The ceiling seemed to be creaking and groaning under some large weight above them. All their faces went slightly blue. Goku looked like he was going to make a run for it any second. "Uhh, guys. Don't you think maybe we should go home now?" He asked his friends hopefully. They looked at him.
"Aww come on Dad. Don't tell me you're scared?" Gohan looked at him sceptically. "After all, it's partly your fault we're stuck here for the night anyway."
"Yeah Kakarott, don't be a chicken." Vegeta added.
"I'm not a chicken, it's just that….. I want to go home to my bed. That's all!" He looked at Gohan and Vegeta, it was clear that they weren't buying any of it. "WellanywaylikeIsaidI'vegottagohomenow. Bye!" And he sprinted for dear life out the door. Gohan and Vegeta just stared after him. Gohan walked up to the door and said. "And then there was two." He looked at Vegeta. "I think we'd better get our sleeping bags out now. Have you got the capsules?" Vegeta fumbled around in his bag and pulled out two of his wife's Hoipoi capsules. He tossed one to Gohan and pressed the button on the end of his own. With a POOF the capsules turned into two comfy-looking sleeping bags. They both got into their sleeping bags and were just about to blow out the candles, when the thumping upstairs started again.
"Aaaargh!" Gohan jumped out of his sleeping bag. "How are we supposed to sleep with all that thumping? If that IS Goten and Trunks up there, I'm going to catch them and hand them over to my mother." He went over to the stairs, and flew up them, he didn't like to be deprived of sleep. Vegeta chuckled, sometimes the brat was more of a Saiyan than his father. He heard a loud thump, and a yell from upstairs. He sighed, and sometimes he could be just a cowardly. Vegeta heaved himself out of the sleeping bag and made his way over to the stairs. He realised he was still holding the box of matches, so he put them down on a small table. He looked up the stairs, and was flattened by a Gohan-shaped shaped blur going about 5000 miles an hour. Vegeta could hear him yelling all the way to Capsule corp., where he knew the others were staying over. Though he couldn't hear much, the words 'Videl', 'protect me' and 'I want my Videl!' could be heard. Vegeta smirked, he'd tease the brat big time about this tomorrow.
THUMP! This time the noise was closer, and Vegeta dropped the candle in surprise. 'Oh great.' He thought. 'Now I'm alone AND in the dark!' He went into his bag and pulled out his second candle.
But when he reached out for his matches they were put into his hand.

ME: Yay, I'm finally finished! So tell me what you thought of it, I'd really like people to review. I might do another Halloween special later on in the year, but only if you review!
See ya, and don't forget to review!
