"Bondage"
By Pixie
Pixie: Ok, here's the news. I've got a brand new idea for a fic, a good one too. So…because I don't want to be working on four fics at once, Bondage is going to start being updated super fast. Yes, this is going to slow down updates on the other stories I'm working on, but I promise, everything will be finished!
Chapter 4: The Pinecones.
"Wait, Bra, I can explain!" Goten yelled miserably, chasing Bra out into the yard. Not that he had much choice. Bra was charging forward, more pissed off then she'd been when she'd been grounded from the shopping mall. "Bra, come on, just talk to me!" Goten pleaded. Bra whirled around, sick and, if it was possible even more pissed over his whining. She powered up, and reached for the first thing within her grasp. It just so happened that Bra grabbed a pinecone. She brought her arm backed and hurled the cone with all her strength right and Goten. It had caught him off guard, and the pinecone smacked him right in the face.
If you've ever been hit with a pinecone, you know then, it hurts like hell. To Goten, it felt like being pelted in the face with a spiky baseball. He reached up to his face, nestling the spot where blood had began to flow. Bra, taking complete advantage of him being preoccupied by his blood threw two more pinecones, one nailing him in the arm, another in the shoulder. Bra reached and grabbed one more, throwing it at him again, however, this time Goten was prepared for the blow. He caught the pinecone, slicing up his hand a little. He brought back his own hand and prepared to throw.
From inside the house, Pan leaned against Trunks' shoulder, as he wrapped his arm around her. The two smiled lovingly and at the mischief they had gotten away with. They had told Vegeta and Bulma, that Bra had tripped while fighting, landing on top of Goten, and that her head had banged up against his neck, accidentally causing the bite. The two of them had been telling lies their whole lives to avoid trouble. They made the perfect team. Pan's wide-eyed innocence made the lies convincing, and Trunks could spin a plausible story under any type of pressure. Vegeta had bought their story without an ounce of doubt in his mind. He even believed them when they said they'd tried to stop Bra from tripping, explaining their appearance on the accident scene. He even thanked the two (though it sounded a little forced, and a lot like something Bulma would say) for being so helpful. True, they had been helpful. They had gone to Chi-Chi's house and explained what happened to her, and comforting her when she got upset over Goten leaving. Though, she did perk up when Pan mentioned this increased her chances to have another grandchild.
The two packed up all of Goten's stuff, except for his PS2, which Pan said that since Bra already had one, now rightfully belonged to her. She also helped herself to games and controllers. Trunks too, did not go without pay. He took all of Goten's Playboy magazines, and action that earned him a smack from Pan. Trunks pointed out, that these particular magazines featured Bra Briefs' head and someone's computer generated body as a centerfold, and what if Bra discovered those under Goten's bed? Pan agreed with this, and took the magazines, dropping them neatly in a paper shredder. After all, she had pointed out sweetly, did Trunks really want to see naked pictures of his sister? This had caused Trunks to blush and stammer, and Pan laughed, happy to catch him in his lie.
Pan laughed happily, watching Goten ducking and dodging to avoid pinecones. He wouldn't throw one back at Bra; he was much to good to do that.
"He learned not to hit girls from Grandpa," Pan told Trunks, watching as Bra threw pinecone after pinecone.
"Is THAT why your Grandpa had such a hard time defeating Frieza?" Trunks asked with a grin. She hit him playfully, as they went back to watching Goten and Bra.
Goten dodged again, as Bra showed no signs of stopping. Goten had always used to wonder why Bulma and Vegeta never stopped arguing. He realized now, the two of them were incredibly stubborn and couldn't let go of grudges easily. He also realized all of those were doubled in Bra. She'd continue to fight until she fell asleep of got hungry.
"Hungry?" Goten thought to himself. His stomach growled, reminding him it was indeed, food time.
He needed a plan that would get him food, and also get Bra not mad at him. He thought as quickly as a Son could think, and suddenly it came to him. Bra loved the mall, the mall had a food court.
"Hey Bra, you wanna head out to the mall?" Goten called, narrowly avoiding another pinecone. Immediately, all the anger was replaced with happiness.
"Shopping?" she squealed, dropping the pinecones, and running over to Goten, "Let me go get my shoes!" She ran off, and Goten sighed with relief. If Bra could be happy this easily, perhaps things wouldn't be so bad after all.
Pixie: No time for a long exit speech! New chapter up tomorrow, so check back soon!
