Last time on this fanfic...
2 hours later, Vegeta finally had taken out the job of carrying Goku's wheelchair up the long flight of stairs. Sweat once again poured down his face once more, as he pulled the wheelchair into the long-awaited guestroom. Goku smiled, as if pleased, and said, "Thanks servant. That will be all for now." The normal Vegeta would've been shouting his head off at Goku for calling him 'servant', but he wasn't the normal Vegeta. He was more like the exhausted, mad, angry Vegeta. He practically stumbled down the stairs, and went straight into his bedroom. He plopped down on his bed, and didn't even bother to change. He drifted off to sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Meanwhile, Goku was already thinking about what maniacal plans he had for tomorrow...
***
"C'mon Goten.. hurry up!" Trunks whispered, urging his best friend. Goten, who wasn't accustomed to staying up past midnight, dragged his feet through the floor. He was tired beyond belief, and wasn't in any mood to carry out one of Trunks plans. Trunks, who was very used to staying past these hours, waited impatiently for the young saiyan to hurry up. Dark circles rounded up beneath Goten's eyes, making him appear more tired then he already was. The two young boys trudged down the hallway, making sure to be very quiet to not wake up three other saiyans that occupied the house. Trunks tiptoed carefully towards their destination, not even waiting for Goten to catch up. Goten rubbed his eyes, trying to scrub away the sleepiness from them, but failed. Trunks peeked into the room, and signaled for Goten to follow him. Goten walked beside Trunks and sighed, tiredness and fatigue was evident in his voice. Trunks slowly opened his father's door, and tiptoed in. Goten, who had no intention of being quiet whatsoever, quickly bumped into the door, making it creak steadily open. Trunks nudged his friend hard in the stomach.
"Goten! Your being stupid again!" Trunks whispered to the half-awake Goten. Goten shrugged his shoulders and the two boys continued walking in the room. Goten looked at Trunks hopefully and asked, "Trunks.. what are we going to do now?" The young saiyan looked at the purple-haired saiyan's hands.. where all kind of objects were. Trunks once again, smirked an arrogant smirk, and replied, "Well.. we're going to have real fun this time.. I was thinking, we've done too much kid stuff. I think we should really drive my dad crazy.." Goten crossed his arms in protest. "Yeah, but when your dad finds out it was us, he's going to try to kill us again.." Trunks shrugged his shoulders and sighed. "Well, that's going to be a risk we're willing to take,.. right?" After a second's delay, Goten finally agreed to do the mischievous plan. Trunks grinned maliciously. "Perfect.. ok, Goten grab this marble, and this pipe, and set it up over there.. I'll do the rest." Goten grabbed the pint sized marble, and the flute-shaped pipe and set it over to where Trunks had instructed. Goten peered over at his best friend who had been very busy constructing a very big obstacle..
***
"Gohan.. I have to talk to you." Seriousness was written all over Videl's face. Gohan walked over to his girlfriend and listened. "What's on your mind, Videl?" Videl tried not to lock eyes with Gohan, but it was near to impossible. "I can't be with you anymore.."
"What? But.. Videl!"
"No," she interrupted, "I've.. found somebody else.."
"Who?" Gohan asked, pain and sorrow filled his voice. Who could've possibly been a better study partner than him?
"Well, I know this sounds crazy.. but we met at the World Martial Arts Tournament.." Videl paused, as if stretching the suspense. "His name is.. Vegeta."
"WHAT? VEGETA? But, he's never even been to school before! How can he tutor you?!"
"Well, he told me he's a lot smarter than you... I'm sorry Gohan.. we can just be friends.." Just then, right on cue, Vegeta came along and wrapped his hand around Videl's waist.
"Hey Vegeta, do you want to go study?.." Videl asked kindly. Vegeta smirked a 'Ha ha I beat you' look, and answered, "Yeah.." Gohan watched in shock as the two walked down the hall of Orange Star High holding a book in each other's hands.
"NOOOO!!!!"
***
Gohan woke up, sweat dripping down his face. He never had such a bad nightmare! "Man.. I can't believe Videl would do that! How can anyone be smarter than me?.." Gohan sighed as he realized he said that out loud. The demi-saiyan slowly got up out of bed, put on a robe, and opened his door. He walked over to the kitchen, and decided to get a midnight snack. Gohan peered into the refrigerator and looked around. Only a couple of bottles of water filled the interior of the fridge. Gohan sighed tiredly, and tried to figure out what best fit his appetite.
***
Trunks grinned evilly as he set the last of his 'trap' into position. Goten, who was watching Trunks the whole time, was starting to get very edgy. "Are you done yet Trunks?" Trunks nodded, and the two 'brats' walked out of the room. Trunks couldn't help but laugh as he visualized what was going to happen as soon as his father woke up. Goten, on the other hand, was trying to listen to a noise..
"Hey Trunks.. what's that sound?" Trunks strained his ear to try to listen. "I don't know Goten.. what is it?" "I dunno.." The two half saiyans sneaked silently to the kitchen. Trunks peeked around the corner, and saw a dark figure looking inside the freezer..
"Maybe it's a bad guy!.. Or an old enemy trying to take over the world.." Goten suggested excitedly. "Yeah, maybe.." Trunks replied, "..Hmm, what bad guy would go inside a Freezer?" Goten crossed him arms in thought. "Well, I remember a long time ago, Gohan told me about this bad guy named Frieza.. do you think it'd be him? I mean, Frieza would go into a freezer, right?" Trunks nodded. "Yeah.. I think we can handle this weakling. What do you think Goten?" Goten nodded right away and grinned. "All we need to do is turn super saiyan, and beat him! We can be heroes!" The troublesome duo walked into the kitchen and stroke a pose; their fingers pointing to the villain.
"Stop right there Frieza!" Goten commanded, trying to copy a super hero he'd seen on television.
"Yeah! We're the sons of Goku and Vegeta, and we're going to finish you!" Trunks finished with a 'similar to Vegeta' smirk. "Ready Goten?" Trunks motioned to Goten. Goten nodded without hesitation and the two boys quickly turned to super saiyan. "Frieza" turned to the boys, confusion was very evident in his face.
"Goten.. Trunks, what are you guys doing?"
Goten gasped. "How do you know our names Frieza?"
"I'm not Frieza.."
"That's exactly what you want us to think!" Trunks replied, a scowl now appearing on his face.
"Let's do this Goten! Let's kill him!" Trunks aura was now sparkling around him. Goten nodded, his power now exceeding a little more than super saiyan too. At that instant, the small super saiyans pounced on an unsuspecting 'enemy'. The three fell to the floor instantly, where Goten and Trunks resulted to punching the crap of out 'Frieza'. 'Frieza' then stood up unexpectedly and turned into a super saiyan! Goten and Trunks stepped back uneasily.
"Whoa.. I didn't know Frieza would go super saiyan.."
"Me either.."
"Guys!! I'm not Frieza!!"
"Whoa.. he almost sounded like Gohan.."
"I am Gohan!" Gohan took off his robe, and hastily, put on the kitchen light.
"Ohhhhh.." Trunks and Goten said, almost simultaneously.
"What are you guys doing up this late anyway?" Goten shuffled his feet and looked away, motioning for Trunks to answer.
"Umm, we were going to get some.. ice cream! Right?" He nudged Goten hard in the ribs again, almost making the poor boy double up in pain. "Uhh, god Trunks.. you don't have to hit me so hard!" "Yeah, but we're supposed to make Gohan think we actually were getting ice cream-" Trunks stopped in mid-sentence as he realized what information he had just spilled.. "Did I say were supposed to make you think we were getting ice cream? I meant.. we were getting ice cream, and we wanted you to think that..." Goten sighed, knowing that Gohan was never going to believe them now. "Man Trunks.. that was corny.." "Well! It's better than what you'd ever think of!" "Oh yeah?" "Yeah!" "YEAH?" "YEAH!" "YEAH?!" "YEAH!!!" "Umm, Trunks.." "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" "..Gohan's not even here anymore.." Huge sweatdrops fell on the backs of their heads. "..I think we should go back to sleep Goten.." "Ok.."

Sunlight poured into the almost empty room. The saiyan prince opened his eyes gradually, and then squinted because of the powerful light that filled the room. Vegeta sat over the side of the bed, when the realization dawned on him. Tomorrow ChiChi and Bulma would be back, and that was the end of Vegeta's 'slavery'. Vegeta smirked, a rare happiness was spread over his face -- mind you, it was an evil sort of happiness. He stood up, took a few steps, when- he stepped on a string.. The string turned on a lighter, which burned a rope, the rope broke loose and rotated around a ball, the rope pushed a marble, which ran down a pipe, which broke loose another string, and everything stopped with a card board box right above Vegeta's head. By this time, Vegeta had no idea who had set his whole room to be some weird obstacle. But.. why did it stop right above his head? All of the sudden, without any warning, 3 water balloons were coming towards him! Vegeta, with his abnormally fast saiyan reflexes, dodged the balloons, which splattered to the floor. But what was shocking, was the balloons weren't filled with water.. they were filled with chocolate milk, and gummy bears! Vegeta suppressed a laugh. "Heh, you didn't get me.." Just then, Vegeta heard a sound.. it sounded like something big going down wood.. Vegeta looked up, just in time to see the biggest 'water' balloon he'd ever saw, headed for his head! Vegeta tried dodging it, like the others, but it was useless.. the balloon fell straight on his face! The milk dripped down his neck and stained his shirt, and the gummy bears practically stuck to his face. "BRATS!!!!!"
***
"Did you hear something just now?" Goten asked his friend, who was busy playing a game on his PSP2. Trunks shook his head, and replied, "Nope.."
***
Goku yawned drowsily as his eyes opened. It took only a couple of moments for his eyes to become accustomed to the light. He looked around, finally spotting the clock. "It's 9:00?! Man.. this day's practically almost over! I mean, I still have so many plans to do.." Goku looked to his right, where the buzzer laid, perfectly content on the bed. Goku knew exactly what to do.. He picked it up with one of his better arms, and pressed the red button.
BUZZZZ!!!!
Goku jumped, startled at the thunderous loud noise it made. Within a matter of moments, Vegeta staggered into the room, hatred was written all over his face. Goku couldn't help but laugh, but stopped abruptly when it looked like Vegeta was on the verge of exploding. "..What happened to you?" Goku said, some of his sympathy had returned. "Well, Kaka-...your highness! The brats snuck into my room last night and set up a trap with balloons filled with chocolate milk and gummy bears!! THEN ONE OF THEM FELL ON MY FACE!" Goku tried to smother a chuckle, but it escaped from his throat to fast. "HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT ME.. KAKAROT?!" Goku snickered some more, ignoring Vegeta's attempts to stop him. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" Goku looked right at Vegeta, but couldn't look at him straight in the eyes. "Well, there's a gummy bear in your eye.." Vegeta hastily felt his right eye where a red gummy bear took residence. Vegeta split the gummy bear in half. "Anything else?" "Nope.. man, too bad you couldn't have more stuff in your face and hair.. that was funny with the pizza, and the chicken-" "I KNOW KAKAROT! I'll have to get the brats for that.." Goku stopped his laughter, and instead of a cheesy grin on his face, it was replaced with another rare evil smirk. "Hey, listen Vegeta.. I was thinking.." "Great Kakarot.. 'you were thinking' again. Now what do you want?! You could atleast give me a little mercy on the last day of my slavery!" Goku grinned evilly, and replied, "Well, first of all, you're not supposed to call me 'Kakarot', remember? And.. every time you say 'your highness', you have to bow down to me.." "WHAT?!" "Uh uh uh.." Goku shook his finger no tauntingly, much like he did the day before. "Remember what Bulma said.."
"I KNOW WHAT THAT BLASTED WOMAN SAID!!" Vegeta shouted, his angst and hatred totally involved in his voice. "Vegeta, can you do me a favor?" Vegeta winced as he knew this day was turning out worse than the previous one. "Well, can you give me a glass of water?" Vegeta nodded stubbornly, and all of the sudden remembered what he had to do. Very grudgingly, he fell to his knees, smiled politely, and said, "I will carry out your order, Kaka-...your highness.." Then, in a speed of light, Vegeta leapt on his feet and slammed the door so hard, it almost fell out of it's hinges.

"That was a lucky shot.." Goten said, who wasn't very used to losing. Trunks smiled triumphantly as the words 'Game Over' filled the television screen. "Hey Trunks, can we play the game over and play as teams? I mean, I think we can beat this game together as one team instead of apart." Trunks' eyes filled with maliciousness. "..Are you thinking, what I'm thinking?" Goten shrugged his shoulders, having no idea. "I don't know Trunks, what are we thinking?" Trunks smirked mischievously. "Well, I'm thinking.. we should fuse into Gotenks! With our combined minds, who knows what cool plans we could make up! We'll drive my dad crazy!" Goten looked away, his eyes pleading. "Aww, c'mon. I think it'll drive your dad a little too crazy.." "Think about it Goten! If we got in trouble, you won't get the blame.. Gotenks will. So once we defuse, we won't get in trouble!" "I don't know.." "C'mon! It's the most perfect idea anyone could ever think of!" "Oh alright.." "Ok, perfect. Ok, let's fuse now.." "..Ok.." The two young boys jumped off the couch, and extended their hands out; striking their fusion pose.
"FU--"
Goten and Trunks extended their hands in-
"--SION--"
Then extended them out with their fists-
"--HAAA!" A blunt red and blue light filled the game room as the two half-saiyans fused together, then an intense gold light replaced the blue and red glow. The gold light finally vanished, leaving one figure, or one boy, left in it's place. Gotenks smirked arrogantly, put his hands on his hips, and laughed. "Now.. to find my stupid dad.." Their voice had Goten's high voice, but blended with Trunks low cocky voice. The fused warrior flew off to where he sensed his dad walking up the stairs.
***
Vegeta wobbled up to the top of the stairs, and opened the door to his 'masters' room. Goku, who was watching Jerry Springer on t.v., was practically laughing his head off. Vegeta, who wished he was watching a show and relaxing, was about to give the water to Goku, when-
Something fast knocked Vegeta right off his feet and made the glass of water fall and crash to the floor. Vegeta growled with anger and looked up to see a super saiyan Gotenks. "What the-? Brats, I demand you defuse right now!" Gotenks smirked and shook his head. "I'm afraid I won't be able to do that. The 30 minutes aren't over yet, so you're stuck with me for half an hour." Vegeta clenched his fists in maddening rage. "I'll show you who not to mess with!!" Vegeta's aura flamed into a gold glow and he sprang after the two fused boys. Goku, who hadn't paid attention to anything that was happening, laughed exponentially as more of 'Jerry Springer' show displayed itself on the television.

Gohan looked into the mirror and frowned at his unruly hair. He had tried various objects to try and fix it, but Vegeta's hair gel just couldn't tame the demi-saiyan's hair. He sighed. Videl was about to get to Capsule Corp any second now, and his whole look was messed up without his hair being perfect. Figuring that nothing could help his look now, the teenager walked out of the room and sat down at the living room, waiting for his date. What happened next is something he never expected... Gotenks came into view, followed by an enraged Vegeta. Gohan sighed. "Here we go again.." Fearing that Videl would think Gohan was irresponsible for letting them two fight, Gohan quickly stepped between them. "Why are you guys always fighting? You need to stop!" The two fighters looked away, each disappointed that they couldn't get into a real brawl. Gohan sighed, tired of the crazy situations that he had witnessed. "Maybe we should just get out of the house.." Gohan thought in dismay. Just then, it hit him. "Hey dad! Come down here!" Just as expected Goku did his instant transmission and was there without a second's delay. "Hey son. What's on your mind?" Goku said, not very happy that he was interrupted from his favorite show. Gotenks, who was surprisingly sitting obediently on the couch, listened intently to what Gohan wanted to say. Vegeta was crossing his arms, looking in space. Gohan smiled. "Well, I have a great idea! Why don't we just get out of the house? Maybe then we don't have to fight all the time.." He looked specifically at Gotenks and Vegeta. "So, where do you guys want to go?"
___________________________________________________________________________________
Will Vegeta and Gotenks ever get along? Will Vegeta's hatred for Goku ever cease? (No, but I have to fill this section up with something..). And, most importantly, where will Gohan and the gang go? You decide! Pick between these two choices: The Movies or Laser Tag.
