Mirror of Magic
Chapter 2
"Goku, how did it happen?!" Chi-chi yelled.
"How should I know?" Goku yelled back. They had been fighting every since they had gotten home. Chi-chi was upset at her 'husband' because of her condition. She was so worried that they might not be able to get her back to normal, let alone find out how it happened. There just weren't enough clues.
"We should call everyone immediately. I'll tell them what happened." Chi-chi scampered into the kitchen. Goku sat down on the couch in her living room. She began worrying about how her change would affect her relationship with Chi-chi. She spotted a mirror across the room and realized…she hadn't seen what she looked like as a girl (audience falls over anime style). She walked over to the mirror hanging on the wall and gazed into it. She saw a woman with long black hair that spiked at the top, similar to her original hairstyle. Her gi seemed to fit inward perfectly, revealing all her curves. Her eyelashes were longer and her eyes looked shinier. She liked the way she looked. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. Goku thought to herself.
"Goku!" Chi-chi shouted from the kitchen. "Come quick! Something bad has happened to Goten!" Goku ran into the kitchen.
"What? What is it?" Goku panicked. She looked at their pictophone (I made that up. It means visual phone). Videl was on the screen. She looked very scared.
"Goku! Is that you?!" she shrieked. Goku laughed nervously. "Looks like the same thing happened to you!" A look of shock crossed both Goku and Chi-chi's faces.
"What are you talking about?" they said at the same time.
"Goten is a girl!" Videl cried. "He was sparring with Pan and she said his hair grew almost instantly and whipped her in the eyes. She thought at first that her eyes were playing games on her, but Goten looked at himself in a mirror and sure enough, Goten was a girl. I don't know what to say." Goku and Chi-chi remained silent. They were too shocked to say anything. To break the silence, Videl spoke up.
"So what happened to Goku?" she asked.
"Oh." Chi-chi snapped back into reality. "I don't know. We were shopping for food and I suggested that were split up to cover more ground. Next time I saw him, or rather her, she was a female." Chi-chi looked like she was going to cry.
"Videl, we're going to your house." Goku spoke up.
"Okay. I'll inform Gohan that you're coming. Bye." The screen went blank. Chi-chi burst out in tears.
"Why do things like this always happen to my family?" she cried out. She got up and headed to the front hall. After getting her jacket on, she walked outside and noticed that Goku wasn't following.
"Goku? Honey, are you alright?" she called. There was no response. Chi-chi walked back into the house and found Goku sitting at the table, doing nothing.
"Aren't you coming to Gohan-kun's house?" Chi-chi questioned. Goku looked up and tried to smile but failed.
"I'm too ashamed to confront my son like this." Goku whispered. Chi-chi gasped.
"No, honey, he's your son. He'll understand what you're going through. And besides, his brother is going through it also. Don't be ashamed." Chi-chi embraced Goku. Goku sighed but suddenly pulled away.
"Goku, what's wrong?" Chi-chi asked.
"This isn't right." Goku responded. "It doesn't feel right."
"What are you talking- oh… I see." Chi-chi understood. Goku, who was now a female, felt like hugging another girl was strange and unusual. She didn't want to get too close. For some reason, Goku felt much more scared than any monster could ever do.
"Goku, it alright to show your emotions to me." Chi-chi whispered. "I won't think any less of you if you do. To me, you're still the same Goku. Please don't feel embarrassed around me."
"Chi-chi, I'm sorry. Gomen, gomen. It'll never happen again. I just don't feel like we should get too close, you know what I mean?" Chi-chi nodded.
"Let's go. Videl and Gohan must be expecting us." Goku smiled and left the house with Chi-chi close by. Goku picked her up and they flew off.
"How's Goten?" Gohan asked quietly.
"Well, he, or should I say she, suffered a minor black out. Nothing serious that we should worry our little heads on." Videl replied. "How's Pan taking it. She kinda lost an uncle but gained an aunt." Videl chuckled over her joke, but Gohan found it anything but funny.
"Loosen up, sweetie pie. It's called a joke. Remember?" Videl stared him in the eyes.
"Sorry." Gohan looked at his brother that was now a sister who was lying on the couch. I can't believe this is happening. First my brother, now my dad. What is going on here? Gohan's thoughts were broken when the phone rang. Videl went over and picked up the pictophone and set it to sound only.
"Mushi mushi, Son residents. Oh, hi Bulma-san…uh hun…you don't say… uh hun…oh…Bulma-san, you're not gonna believe what just happened." There was a long pause. "NO!!" Videl shrieked.
"Videl, what's wrong?" Gohan asked. Videl covered the receiver and said, "Bulma thinks that Pan is pregnant!" She got back on the phone.
"I assure you, Bulma, Pan is not pregnant. This is worse."
"How can anything be worse than my little girl getting pregnant?!" Gohan yelled. Videl put her finger to his lips to quiet him.
"Some how, Goten and Goku have been turned into girls!" Videl said calmly. After half a second, she pulled the phone from her ear and loud laughter could be heard from the receiver. Ten seconds later, the laughing stopped and Videl put the phone back against her ear. There was another pause.
"Please Bulma-san, I-…Bulma…it's no joke. I'm dead serious. They're girls." Videl paused and tapped a few buttons on the phone, which brought up the screen with Bulma.
"Hi Gohan!" Bulma greeted.
"Bulma-san, this is no time for fun and games." Gohan growled. "My brother may be in danger of something." Videl turned the screen so it was facing the unconscious Goten.
"Oh sweet Dende! Is that Goten?!" Bulma freaked.
"`Fraid so. I don't understand how it happened, but he's a she now." Videl said. Bulma gasped.
"I'll be right over as soon as possible!" Bulma cried and the screen went blank. Videl sighed.
"We'd better move Goten upstairs. I just hope Pan's taking okay." She whispered as she looked up at the ceiling.
Up in Pan's room, Pan sat on her bed, going though a photo book. She looked at the pictures of her and Goten. For some reason, she had a feeling that she wouldn't see Goten back to normal for a long while.
"I'd better go change the cloths on Goten's forehead." Pan got up and headed to the bathroom. She pulled a clean white cloth from the closet and placed it in the sink. She looked up in the mirror and gasped. Suddenly, she let out an ear-piercing scream.
Gohan and Videl raced upstairs to find out what happened to Pan. Instead of find Pan, they discovered a boy who looked roughly about 15 years old and had a haircut similar to the one Gohan had when he went to planet Namek. His hair was black a midnight, as were his eyes. The boy looked scared and opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't.
"Who are you?!" Gohan growled. The boy's eyes began to water.
"Tousan," the boy whispered. "It's me, Pan." Videl gasped and fainted. Gohan caught her and looked up at the boy who claimed to be Pan.
"How do I know if it's really you?" Gohan demanded.
"I'm your daughter! I shouldn't have to prove myself to you!" The boy shouted. Gohan stared at him for a few seconds.
"Pan?" he asked, not sure if her should trust this stranger.
"Please, tousan. You have to remember me. I'm your only daughter." Pan began to cry. Gohan was now sure that this boy was his daughter.
"What happened?" Gohan asked quietly.
"I don't know." Pan whispered in between sobs. "I was going to wash Goten's forehead, and when I looked in the mirror, I saw the reflection of a guy." Pan began to tremble. Gohan placed Videl softly on the floor and walked over to Pan. He looked into his eyes and hugged him.
"Everything's gonna be alright. You're tough. You're not gonna let a little personality change affect that are you?" Gohan smiled. "Until we're able to find out how these all happened, I guess you'll have to put up with being a boy." Gohan patted Pan's back. Pan smiled.
"You're right. And maybe as a boy, I'll be able to go Super Saiya-jin!" Pan cheered.
"Well, let's not give our hopes up." Gohan said. But Pan's ambitions to become the first female super Saiya-jin were just too great to ignore. Now that she was a guy, she was more confident about her abilities.
Soon, Bulma arrived with Vegeta, Trunks and Bra. They sat down in the living room and waited for Goku and Chi-chi to show up.
"So what's the big surprise, huh? Some new monster or something?" Vegeta asked, impatiently.
"Oh shut up, you over grown monkey!" Bulma shouted. "All you think of is fighting!"
"Look who's talking you fragile piece of mudball crap!" Vegeta retorted.
"Why you-" Bulma was cut off by the sound of the door opening. Everyone stared as Chi-chi walked in with an unknown girl.
"Hi everybody. Sorry we're late. Goku got hungry."
"Well, where is he? Did he eat himself on the way here?" Vegeta demanded. The girl beside Chi-chi began to blush.
"No, as a matter of fact, you're looking at 'her'." Chi-chi cooly said as she pointed at the girl.
"Hi," Goku said shyly. Everyone looked at her, blank expressions on their faces.
"You're kidding, right?" Vegeta growled. "Kakorrot's a guy. Are you blind woman?"
"Hey, don't talk to Chi-chi that way!" Goku scoffed.
"Who's gonna make me. You? Look at yourself, Kakorrot. You're a freaking girl. For Dende's sake, you probably couldn't even take off the lid off a jar in that body." Vegeta smirked.
"Maybe, but I can take your head off any time!"
"Hey, HEY!! We didn't invite you over to start a fight!" Gohan yelled. "You're here because we need to figure out why this happened!"
"That's right." Bulma agreed. "Is Goten alright?"
"Ohmigoodness!!" Chi-chi screamed. "I totally forgot about him, I mean her!" Chi-chi rushed up stairs.
"HER?!" Trunks shrieked. "Goten's a girl too?" Trunks burst out laughing and soon Bra joined in.
"That's not funny!" Goku yelled. "Just wait until it happens to you, then we'll see who gets the last laugh."
"Are you threatening me. She's gonna turn me into a girl!" Trunks jumped behind the couch and hid.
"STOOOOPPPPP IT!!!" yelled a small voice. Everyone looked around. Pan emerged from the kitchen. "You're all being SELFISH!!"
"Who the hell are you?" Vegeta hissed.
"Of coarse you don't recognize me. Whatever it is that turned Goten-san and ojiisan into girls has affected me. I'm supposed to be Pan." Trunks burst out laughing again from behind the couch. Pan immediately got angry and fired a ki blast over the couch at Trunks. There was an 'ow' heard and a crispy burnt Trunks stood up and coughed. He laughed nervously, afraid that another blast would find its way to his face.
"Please, people. Let's try to stay focused." Videl pleaded. She turned her attention to Goku and Pan "First of all, we know what you three were doing. Goten was sparring, Goku was shopping and Pan was washing a cloth. Now what do all those things have in common?" There was no response.
"Maybe they were exhausted?" Bra suggested.
"Hmm…that could be it. Pan, were at all tired before you began your task?" Videl questioned.
"Not really. Just upset at what happened to Goten." Pan replied.
"How 'bout you, Goku?"
"I was hungry. And bored." she responded.
"What about Goten? Pan, what do you think he was feeling before the accident?"
"Well, he was kinda disappointed." Pan said, trying to be as helpful as possible "And he wanted to spar."
"Well, let's cross emotions of our list." said Bulma.
"Oh, I give up." Videl cried as she threw her hands up in the air in frustration.
"Hey everybody!" Chi-chi yelled from upstairs. "Goten's awake. I'll get her downstairs."
After a few minutes, Goten came downstairs. Everyone gasped at the sight. Goten look very similar to Goku, but her hair chose to flatten itself more. She was wearing her regular green sweater and jeans, which were too baggy in her current state. The sweater revealed a little too many curves for Goten's liking. She blushed when she saw everyone and ran back upstairs, only to get dragged back down by Chi-chi. Trunks sarcastically whistled and made catcalls at Goten.
"Hey shut up! Would ya like a homemade knuckle sandwich?" Goten threatened.
"You sound like a sissy, man, I mean girl." Trunks chuckled. Goten hissed and was about to punch Trunks when her fist was stopped by Chi-chi.
"No fighting in the house." She ordered Goten. Goten sulked and sat down beside Goku.
"Who's she?" Goten asked, pointing at Goku.
"Baka. I'm your father!" Goku muttered. Goten was shocked. She diverted her glance over to Pan.
"And him?" she asked.
"You better watch where you point that thing. It's me, Pan." He glumly replied.
"Whoa, hold on one minute! Why are they the opposite sex like me?"
"That's what we're trying to figure out." Gohan answered.
"This is way too confusing." Bulma whined. "Can we call them something else?"
"Like what?" Videl asked.
"Well, how about Pan could be Pat instead?" Bulma suggest. "He's gonna need to enroll in school eventually. And same with Goten. Any ideas for her name?"
"Hey, to make it easy to remember, let call her Golenn. You know, Goten, Golenn? Get it?" Trunks helpfully suggested.
"Goku…Yoku…Yolee. That's it!" Bra shouted. "We can call Goku-san Yolee-chan."
"Bra, you're brilliant!" Goku cried. "I like that name."
"So now I'm Pat in public?" Pan asked.
"Yep. And Goten is Golenn." Videl answered. "So Pat-kun, if we can't figure out what happened within a week, we're enrolling you into school, same with you Golenn-chan. Got it?"
"We could say that Yolee is Chi-chi's cousin from out of town." Gohan said. "And Golenn and Pat are her children."
"Oh, so now I'm a mother of two, eh?" Yolee asked sarcastically. "This is just smegging great."
"HEY!!" Chi-chi yelled. "Watch your language. There are kids in the room."
"I bet tousan's been swearing since he was a kid." Golenn laughed. Vegeta snorted.
"You know," Vegeta spoke up. "You shouldn't call Kakorrot that in public or you might wind up in a loony bin." Trunks snickered.
"Well you should stop calling him Kakorrot." Trunks giggled. Vegeta raised his fist but was stopped by Bulma. She shook her head 'no'.
"Should we tell Kurinin, Juuhachi and the others what happened?" Chi-chi asked.
"Definitely." Videl answered. She got up and headed to the pictophone. "I'll call the Kame House." After a few seconds of ringing, Master Roshi picked up and his face appeared on the screen.
"Kame House! How may I help you?" Master Roshi greeted. "Oh, hi Videl. How's everything?"
"Not good." Videl replied. "Listen, is Kurinin there?"
"Well, lemmie check." There was a long pause and Kurinin's showed up.
"Hey, Kurinin speaking. Yes?" he said.
"Hi Kurinin. We have a crisis. You won't believe me if I told you, but…Goku and Goten are girls and Pan's a guy."
"Uh…you're joking, right?"
"No joke. Get over here right away."
"Alright. I'll be right there. Later." The screen went blank. Videl turned to her guests.
"Well, now begins another waiting game." Everyone groaned.
"Speaking of games, why don't we play one!" Bulma cheered. There was a chorus of 'no's.
"So what was it you wanted to show me?" Trunks asked, full of curiosity.
"This," Golenn said as she pulled out the small hand mirror for Chi-chi. "It's for kaasan. I think she's gonna love it." Trunks looked into it.
"Wow. It IS nice. Where'd you get it?" Trunks breathed.
"Tousan found it at an old shop for only three dollars. You can't tell my kaasan. It's a surprise." Golenn said proudly.
"I wish I had an old hand mirror to give to my kaasan." Trunks moped.
"Don't sweat it. Maybe tousan'll get one for you."
"Hey, what are you showing him!" Bra whined. "I wanna see too." Golenn groaned and passed the mirror to Bra. She looked in and awed at it.
"It's beautiful. This would be perfect to put my make-up on."
"Yeah, on that twenty pound puff ball you call a face." Golenn muttered.
"Hey, you'll need make-up too, now that you're a girl, unless you're proud of that ugly face of yours."
Soon, the doorbell rang and Videl went to answer it.
"Kurinin! Juuhachi! Hey everybody! It's so good to see you. Come in." Videl cheered.
"Where's Goku?" Kurinin asked frantically. Yolee walked around the corner and faced her friend.
"Hi buddy." She said, trying to sound happy. "Looking for me?" Juuhachi, Marron and Kurinin stood dumbfounded with shocked looks on their faces. Master Roshi and Yamcha, one the other hand, were completely mesmerized on Yolee's body.
"Hey! Quit it you two!" Yolee shouted at the perverts.
"Oh, sorry Goku!" Master Roshi apologized.
"Actually, you should call me Yolee."
"Yolee? Why?" Yamcha asked.
"Because if you call me Goku, I'll knock you upside the head and call you a moron."
"That's no answer, Goku." Before Yamcha knew it, he was hit upside the head.
"Moron." Yolee yelled.
"Could we please stay FOCUSED?!" Videl screamed out of frustration. Everyone immediately quieted down. Videl glared at her new guests. "Either you shut up and sit down or you get the hell of my property!" Kurinin, Juuhachi, Marron, Yamcha and Master Roshi ran to the living room and sat down. Videl's frown turned into a smile and she walked into the kitchen.
"What's up with her?" Yamcha asked Gohan.
"It's probably just stress." Gohan replied. Yamcha nodded and looked around at Pat and Golenn.
"I suppose you guys have changed as well?" Master Roshi inquired.
"Noo. We're the same as we were before." Pat muttered under his breath.
"What was that?" Master Roshi asked.
"Nothing."
"…"
"Anyways, why'd you guys come in the first place?" Golenn asked.
"We're here to help if we can." Kurinin spoke up.
"Oh my Kami, is that YOU Pan?" Marron shrieked.
"Marron! Thank Dende you're here. I don't think I can take this." Pat said back. "I can't ware good clothes anymore. Being a guy sucks!"
"Hey!" all the guys yelled.
"Oops. Gomen." Pat blushed. "Oh, Marron, you have to call me Pat in public. And call Goten Golenn-chan."
"Why?"
"You don't want people to think you're strange or something, calling a girl some guy name."
"Yeah, I guess that makes sense."
"So," Chi-chi said. "Who's staying for dinner?" Everyone but Vegeta yelled a 'yes'. Vegeta simply snorted.
"Pat, Golenn, Yolee, you guys are going to help me." Chi-chi grinned. The other three groaned.
After a filling supper, they were ready to talk things over. They sat in the living room, waiting for someone to speak. Pat was siting beside Bra and Marron on one couch. Golenn was siting beside Trunks on the another couch. Kurinin was sitting beside Yolee and Juuhachi on the floor. Chi-chi, Bulma, Videl and Gohan all sit on the other couch. Yamcha and master Roshi sat on the floor near Pat.
"Who wants to do the dishes?" Chi-chi asked cheerfully. No response was given. "Oh come on. It's not that hard." Still nothing. "Fine. I'll volunteer… Trunks and Bra!" Chi-chi chose.
"Hey! That's not fair!" Bra hissed.
"Yeah, I demand a recount!" Trunks growled.
"No recounts! Just do it." Chi-chi snarled back. "The sooner you do them, the better. They're not going to do themselves." Vegeta snickered at Trunks and Bra. The pair got up and headed to the kitchen. Soon, the gang heard the water start. Then they heard Trunks and Bra start to argue over who should do what.
"Oh for Dende's sake." Chi-chi yelled in frustration. "Can't they do anything on their own? I'd like to see them one day alone." Chi-chi got up and went to the kitchen. "Okay you two." She said the demi-saiya-jins. "Trunks, you wash, and Bra, you dry. Got it?" The two groaned. Bra began washing and Trunks began drying.
"Hey, did you two hear me?" Chi-chi scowled. "I said Trunks washes and Bra dries."
"That's what were doing!" Bra said. "I'm washing and Bra's drying." Chi-chi blinked.
"What in Kami's name did you just say?"
"I wash and Bra dries." Bra said.
"Bra, do you know that you just said you wash and you dry?"
"Hey, Chi-chi-san, I know you have trouble remembering names, but you can't mistake me for Bra." Bra said. Bra looked over at Trunks and screamed.
"AAAHHH!! You're ME!!" Bra screamed.
"What?!" Trunks looked at Bra. He, too, screamed. "WHAT THE HELL!!"
"What's going on in there?" Gohan asked. He walked into the kitchen and noticed Bra and Trunks pointing at each other.
"Gohan-san! I'm a girl!" screamed obviously Trunks. She was wearing gray shorts, blue shirt and tan vest. They were all very baggy on her. Bra, who was now a guy, was wearing a tank top and a red skirt. He was very embarrassed.
"What the HELL is going on here?!" Bra screamed in his new male voice. "I look like Trunks!"
"No you don't, dog face!" Trunks yelped. "My hair's suppose to be purple."
"Who cares? I'm still a guy!"
"Not much of a guy!"
"Look who's taking, she-male!"
"Hey! You're asking for it!"
"Oh goodness," Chi-chi groaned. "Even when they're in danger, they fight." Bra and Trunks continued to fight for a few more minutes until everyone raced into the kitchen and gasped. Golenn broke the silence by laughing.
"You idiot!" she chuckled. "How'd you get yourself into this one?"
"GOLENN!!" Chi-chi roared. "Please be more considerate to others."
"What? Why should I?" Golenn asked. "He treated me like an ass when he first saw me like this."
"Well," Yolee started. "At least our family isn't the only ones suffering from the gender bender disease." She began laughing and was hit in the head by Chi-chi. Bulma sighed sorrowfully and looked at her kids.
"We should probably come up with some clever names for you two. Let's head into the living room." Bulma motioned them to the living room. Everyone took their original spots and listened to Bulma.
"Okay gang, it seems that everyone is being affected by this gender disease." Bulma began. There was some chatter, but every soon quieted down. "I have an idea that should work! The dragonballs!" A few people cheered.
"Kaasan, you're a gienius!" Bra exclaimed.
"Yeah, I know," Bulma dazed. "Anyways, here's the plan. Tomorrow we'll begin our search. Since Pan, Bra, and Goten can't go to school anyway, call in sick for them Gohan."
"Will do." Gohan replied.
"Good and Trunks, I'll call in sick for you and me."
"Thanks kaasan." Trunks whispered.
"Next, we begin our search. I'll get the dragon radar for everyone to see. You guys have to take a good look, cause I can't let you take it with you. There's only one. Anyway, we should have this all resolved by Monday, seeing as this is Thursday."
"Great plan!" Yolee cheered.
"What about our names?" whined Trunks.
"Oh yeah!" Bulma remembered. "Hmm…hey guys, what's to opposite of swimming trunks?" Everyone fell over anime style.
"Bikini, I think." Yamcha spoke up.
"Hey, I kinda like that name." Trunks said.
"What about the opposite of bra?" asked Bulma.
"Girder belt?" Yamcha suggest.
"You know Yamcha," Bulma hissed. "That's why I dumped you. You're only good for the first use." Golenn cracked up.
"That was hilarious, Bulma-san!" she sniffed, trying to stop her giggles.
"Boxers!" Bra cried out.
"Nani?" everyone asked at the same time.
"That's what the opposite of bra is, Boxers." Bra explained. "I love it. My name is Boxers now!"
"Well, okay, if that's what you want." Said Bulma.
"Now then, since that's settled, we should all get some sleep for tomorrow." Chi-chi said.
"Why, what are we gonna do tomorrow?" Yolee asked.
"Don't you start with me!" Chi-chi growled.
