Last time on this fanfic...
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?"
***
The five, -- or should I say four warriors all rubbed their chins in thought. Vegeta, who had no concern at all of where they were going to go, sighed and continued to look away. Goku, Gohan, and Gotenks all were thinking of which place they wouldn't cause too much trouble in..
"We can't go to the movies because who knows what we'll do there.." Gohan sighed, and looked at the others. "Or.. we could go to.." "Laser Tag!" Gohan cried, not realizing he said it out loud. Goku smiled, thoroughly liking the idea. "Yeah son! That's a great idea!" Gotenks smirked, knowing it was a great way to cause trouble. "Yeah! I bet I'll win though, so the rest of you don't stand a chance.." Everyone looked over at Vegeta, and wanted to hear what he had to say. Unfortunately, he wasn't even listening to their petty conversation. Finally noticing that everyone was staring at him, he replied, "Fine.. let's go wherever you want to go.. I don't really care." The group smiled, knowing that they'd probably have the time of their lives.
***
"Well, here we are." Gohan smiled as the three other saiyans landed on the ground.
"You guys do know the rules right?" Goku and Gotenks shook their heads, while Vegeta merely smirked. "Well, this laser tag place is a lot different than any other place. It has more rules, and a lot of things you need to keep your eye on. We will team up in teams of two. There are two floors in this place, and we have the floors for approximately 30 minutes. If another team blasts you, you have to get out of the place your in because arrows, or lasers will come shooting at you, and you'll get out. If you get hit three times, your out. If one person in your group gets out, you may continue. Now, keep in mind, there will probably be four other people in the two floors with us, but we can knock all of 'em out easily. Any questions?" Goku smiled, eager to start, while Gotenks was already thinking up plans to outsmart everyone. Vegeta, who was still crossing his arms, knew that he was going to have the worst time of his life. Gohan and the fused boy walked on ahead. Vegeta took a step, and was following them when-
"Oh servant?"
Vegeta stopped in mid-stride, hating the nickname that Goku had assigned him. "What do you want Kaka-...YOUR HIGHNESS?!" Vegeta was tired of forgetting Goku's 'nickname'. Goku, once again, smirked and answered, "I need someone to push my wheelchair to the entrance.." Vegeta grimaced, and once more, grasped the handles and walked in, following Gohan and Gotenks. Gohan walked up to the person who took the money, and said, "Um, five, I mean four to the two floors of the laser tag." The money taker looked at Gohan and gave him a receipt. "You don't mind sharing it with four other people, right?" Gohan smiled sheepishly, and nodded. He knew it was going to be fun wiping out the four strangers, and then the saiyans would be all by themselves. Gohan walking inside the building, and motioned to the outfits and laser guns that were displayed in front of them to put on. Gotenks, Gohan, and Vegeta put theirs on with ease,.. only their was one problem..
"Who's going to put Kakarot's suit on?"
Gohan sighed. "I dont know.. man, this could be a problem.." Everyone looked over at Gotenks who gave Gohan a look of protest. "Don't look at me!.. I'm no one's slave." The three pure saiyans all looked over at Vegeta and smirked. The prince gasped as he realized the other's suggestion. "No.. there is no way I'm going to dress Kakarot!" He crossed his arms stubbornly and looked away.
***
"I can't believe I'm dressing up Kakarot.." Vegeta buttoned Goku's shirt, and pulled up his pants. Goku, who was just as uncomfortable as Vegeta was, sighed and was relieved that Vegeta was finally done.
After 10 straight minutes of washing and thoroughly soaping his hands, Vegeta returned to the group, totally frustrated. Gohan sighed, but quickly smiled when he saw right in front of him the entrance to the two floors. Gohan, Gotenks, ran inside the first floor. Goku smiled, excited about the challenge that awaited the two saiyans. Surprisingly, without any orders, Vegeta took hold of the 'chair handles and quickly followed pursuit of the two 'brats'. Gohan grinned and looked at the others.
"Ready?" Gotenks nodded dramatically, while Goku smiled, and Vegeta looked as if he was about to kill someone.
"Go!" The young saiyan quickly turned left, while the fused boy ran after him. Vegeta pushed/ran with Goku's wheelchair to the opposite side of the 'battlefield'. Vegeta stopped abruptly, making Goku practically fall off the chair from the momentum. Goku looked over at Vegeta, a look of pouting on his face. "Why did we stop?" He said, his voice sounding the equivalent of a small child. Vegeta smirked, a smirk to be rivaled with, and let out a small laugh. "Kakarot, let's just say I know a perfect plan to get rid of the two pests.." "You mean Gohan and Gotenks?" "Yes, I mean the two brats.." "Oh.. ok, but what's your plan?" "Well, we run up the stairs to the second floor, hide in one of the corners, and shoot the unsuspecting weaklings three times.. got it?" Goku nodded, amazed at Vegeta's wisdom. "Wait.. how do you know the second floor has 'hidden corners'? You've never been here before!" "Who said that? I've been here plenty of times.." Goku's lips twisted into the famous 'Son Grin'. "Really? Why would you come here?" "When I'm mad at the woman we come here to settle our differences." "Ohh.." "Hush Kakarot.. I think I hear something.." The two immediately shut their mouths, and listened to a shuffling noise in front of them in the dark shadows. "What is that?" Vegeta's face twisted with worry, as the noise became louder .. and louder ..
"Piccolo! Where are you?" A figure descended from the shadows. It was none other than --
"Baldy?" Krillin, who was totally off guard, stared shocked at Vegeta and Goku.
"Vegeta? Goku? What are you guys doing here?"
Goku smiled, relieved that he was seeing a familiar friend. "Hey Krillin. Me, Vegeta, Gotenks, and Gohan all decided to come here.. what are you doing here?" Krillin crossed his arms, his laser gun still withdrawn in his wrists. "Well, Me, Piccolo, Yamcha, and Tien came here because we were bored.. this is great! Now we can all go against each other.." Goku nodded, agreeing to Krillin's statement. Goku's neck snapped up, looking around. "Hey,.. where's Piccolo?" "I don't know.. Tien appeared out of the shadows and Piccolo told me to go right side.." "So Piccolo went the way Gohan and Gotenks did, right?" "Yeah.."
Vegeta, who was watching the scene with particular interest, smirked. "This is perfect.. now I can wipe out everyone and then it'll just be me and Kakarot.." A twinkle of maliciousness sparkled in Vegeta's eyes.
"Well, all we have to do now is find Piccolo.. hey Goku, do you guys want to team up with me and Piccolo? That way we can win this thing.." "Sure! What do you say Vegeta?" Knowing that it was a perfect opportunity to knock off everyone, Vegeta nodded, not even saying a word. "Great! Now let's go find Piccolo.." Krillin replied, impending off the hollow silence that the room held.
***
The two floors were like a big maze. In every room, there were different effects. Some rooms had neon lights to make it dark, some rooms had fog, while others had fun house mirrors. The second floor had strobe lights, rainbow colored lights, and pitch black rooms. The whole entire place was dead quiet so if anyone made any noise, the others would hear it. In very rare rooms, the whole thing has purple neon lights, and if you make one movement, it seems like shadows are filling up the room. So if anyone steps in there, you wouldn't know it was your opponent or not. Very tricky, huh? If only Vegeta and the others knew what they were getting themselves into..
***
"Ok, so, what's our plan?.. We do have a plan right?" Gotenks said impatiently, tapping his foot subconsciously. Gohan, looked around, confused and having no idea where they were. The room was littered with strobe lights, and they were all white. "Yeah Gotenks, we have a plan.. I just have to think about it first.." Gotenks growled under his breath. "Oh great! I'm stuck with an idiot who doesn't have a plan, and he doesn't even know where we are!" "Well, I'm sure you don't know where we are either!" "Of coarse I do.. I've been here a zillion times." Gohan's face lit up. "You have? When?" "When my mom and dad fight, they come here all the time, and I have to come along. You understand?" Gohan nodded, surprised that his father's rival came here to go against his wife. "Well? Are we just going to stand here, or are we going to make up a plan?" Gohan smiled and nodded. "Yeah, ok. Let's make a plan.."
***
The smart Namek ran across the dark pitched black room. His heart raced in anticipation of the chance that someone could pop up out of no where. Adrenaline pumped through his body as noises could be heard off in the distance. Piccolo ran foward, the result of bumping his head hard against the rough, sturdy wall. He felt dazed for a couple of seconds, but snapped back into reality as breathing -- other than his own, could be heard a few feet in back of him..
"Hey Piccolo! What's up?"
Piccolo's heart stopped, but regained beating, after he realized it was Krillin's happy-go-lucky voice. "Krillin, where did you go? I had to face Yamcha and Tien by myself.." "Well, I went right, remember?" "Oh yeah.." Piccolo noticed there were two other people behind him.. "Krillin! Watch out!" He pushed Krillin aside and took aim with his 'gun. "Take that!!" He said to his opponents. He fired once and he heard a beeping noise, signalizing that he had shot the 'enemy'. "Yes!.." He smiled, knowing that he had done his partner well.
"I'm going to get you for that, Namek!!" A familiar voice shot out from the darkness. "Who's that?.. Vegeta? What are you doing here?" "It's not only Vegeta Piccolo, it's Goku too." "Goku's here too?" "Hey Piccolo!" "Hi Goku.." "Ouch! Stop stepping on my foot Vegeta!" "Heh, oops.." "So, have you found Tien and Yamcha?" "No Goku.. they obviously have themselves well hidden.." "Vegeta! Cut it out!" "I didn't do anything.."
Finally, the disgruntled group moved out of the blackness and moved to another room with rainbow colored lights. "Ok, what we have to do now is try and find Yamcha and Tien, and Gohan and Gotenks.." Piccolo's usually set jaw opened profusely. "You mean, Gotenks and Gohan are here too?" "Yep.." "Can we quit the useless talk and start finding them? We've wasted enough time.." "Vegeta's got a point." "Fine let's go.." The warriors took hold of their laser guns and were ready for action. Piccolo looked over at a smirking Vegeta.. "I wonder what his deal is.. He was in a big hurry to try and find everyone. He's up to something.. and I'm going to find out what it is."
***
"Ok.. why are we in a neon room? It's all dark.." Gotenks complained, obviously mad that they hadn't figured out a plan yet. Gohan strained his ears to listen for any sounds that sounded throughout the 'battlefield'. Silence. Absolute silence. Complete silence. No sound silence. 100 percent silence-
Ring.
Gohan almost yelped in surprise. He reached into his pocket and grabbed his cell phone. "Hello?"
Gotenks crossed his arms, completely annoyed that he was wasting his time. He wished that their could've been a better team mate.
"Ok, talk to you later." Gohan clicked the button that turned off the phone. The fused half saiyan didn't even ask who it was, he just continued walking through the dimly lit room. "Can we make up a stupid plan now? C'mon!" Gohan frowned, remembering that the boy had some Vegeta in him. "Yeah, let's make a plan. Umm.. we knock off the rest of the people, and we go after our dads.." "Is that ALL?" Gotenks said, hating their idiotic plan. "Yep, that's all.." Gohan replied, in a calm yet firm way. "Alright fine, but let's at least do a sneak attack on them.." "Shh.. what's that noise?" Gotenks shut his trap and looked forward. It was very difficult to see through the dark neon black light.. You could almost mistake people..
"It's our dads! Look! There's two people!" Gotenks said, a smirk appearing on his face. Gohan scratched his head in confusion. "It can't be our dads.. my dad was in a wheelchair." "Who cares! Maybe he got better.. Besides, it's a perfect way to get them out! Let's shoot!" Without a moment's thought, the child grabbed his gun more tightly, and shot rapidly at the two figures.
"Hey! Cut it out! Who are you?" A familiar voice sprang into Gohan's ears. "Yamcha? Tien? What are you guys doing here?" The two known fighters smiled as they recognized their 'foe'. "Hey Gohan... and Gotenks.." Yamcha said uneasily, knowing about how much trouble the fused saiyan can cause. "What are you two doing here?" Tien asked, his eyes filled with happiness and excitement. "Oh, well we came here with my dad and Vegeta." "Great! Us four can team up.. and go against Krillin, Piccolo, Goku and Vegeta!" "Piccolo and Krillin are here too?" Gotenks said happily. "Yeah, in fact, were looking for them now." "Awesome!" "I think we should team up." Yamcha smiled, knowing that they had the biggest chance of winning.
***
"So, what's our plan?" Vegeta asked coolly, running alongside Piccolo and Krillin, but running with Goku's wheelchair. "I don't know.. do you have one Piccolo?" Krillin asked, curious to see what the Namek would come up of. "I'm not sure if this'll work, but I've been here before, and I know this one room that could help us.." "Really?" Goku said, interested in what the room was. "Yes. It's a room where the lights are inverted horizontally so if you make one movement, it seems like there's a million shadows around you. With that room, we can trick them.." Goku and Krillin's eyes light up. "Awesome! We'll win for sure!" Goku nodded, knowing that their chance of winning was great. Vegeta smirked evilly, his eyes matching his smirk. "It's a perfect way to knock off all the weaklings and defeat Kakarot.." Vegeta chuckled to himself, and didn't even know that a certain green warrior was watching him from the corner of his eye.
***
"So, what's our plan?" Tien asked, wanting to know what they were going to do. Gotenks smiled, grasping his laser gun tighter. "I have a great idea.." The three fighters turned their attention to the demi-saiyan. "What's your idea Gotenks?" Tien said, with big curiosity. "Well," the fused saiyan said with pleasure, "There's this room that if you make one movement, it seems like there's a zillion shadows around you. We can use that room to trick them.." "Wow Gotenks.. you came up with that?" Gohan asked, intrigued. "Yep. I made it up all on my own." Gohan smiled, proud of his brother.. or some of his brother.. or.. his brother with his best friend.. you get the picture. The four warriors followed Gotenks. There was only one problem..
"Wait a sec.. where is the room?" Yamcha and Tien stopped right behind Gohan. Gotenks put his hand right behind his head Goku style, and a sweat drop appeared on his forehead. "Umm.. we'll find it.." The three others fell to the floor anime style. "Ugh.. Gotenks! There's two floors! We're going to have to go through every room?" "Uh huh.." "Well, we better get started.." Tien said tiredly. "You can say that again.." Yamcha replied. "Well, we better get started.." "You can say that again.." "Well,-" "OK! SHUT UP!" A super saiyan aura surrounded Gotenks. "Dang.. he can be so mean sometimes.." Yamcha whispered to his third eyed companion. Gotenks slammed his hand into his forehead in frustration. So, he had an idiot team, who were all idiots, and they did idiotic things! How more idiot could they be?
***
"So Piccolo, where's the room?" Krillin asked while trying to catch his breath from running so long. "On the second floor. But we have to go through an obstacle course to get to the room.." "What?! An obstacle course? You never told us about that!" Vegeta said through clenched teeth. "Well, I thought you've been here before, mister 'I know everything'!" "Yes, but me and the woman only battle on the first floor." "Well, that's your problem, not mine." Goku sighed and interrupted, "Would everyone just calm down? In order to win this, we have to work as a team. Only then, by teamwork, will we accomplish anything, and say to ourselves we won because we worked together." Everyone was silent. "Wow Goku.. I didn't think you were smart enough to think of something like that.." Goku grinned cheesily and rubbed the back of his head. "Well, I guess I know a lot about team work.." "Yeah, but either everyone's dead or hurt, you always fight alone.. so how would you know about team work?" "What do you mean? What time was mostly everyone hurt or dead and I was alone?" "Well, on Planet Namek. I was dead, Piccolo was hurt, Vegeta died, and Gohan was.. well, he was still alive but everyone else died!" "Can we stop talking about that lame subject?!" Vegeta cried, not caring if his voice was echoing through the walls. "Well, Goku wanted to know-" "I don't care what Kakarot wanted to know! It's pathetic! We should be thinking about our opponents, not something that happened many years ago!" Piccolo nodded, and looked over at Goku. "For once, he's actually right." Goku shrugged his shoulders, (but winced in pain), and the group continued running through the multi-colored, neon, and dark lights.
"Wait!" Everyone came to a startled halt. "What do you want Vegeta? We have to get to the second floor as fast as we can!" "Fine, but.. how am I supposed to through the obstacle course, when I'm holding Kakarot's wheelchair?" Everyone stood there in complete silence.
***
"Whoa..." Gotenks jumped up and down, staring at the fun house mirror that made him look taller than he was. Yamcha was fortunate enough to get a mirror that made you look a lot handsome than you were, Gohan got a mirror to make you look stretched out, and Tien got one that made it seem that he had a thousand eyes. The four boys walked around, not knowing where the exit was. Gohan bumped head first into a mirror, Yamcha was still checking himself out, Tien forgot that he only had three eyes, and Gotenks was getting dizzy. "Ugh.. I think I'm going to throw up.." Gotenks wobbled around, and fell straight to the floor. "Ouch! My face!" Gotenks complained, rubbing his hand on his bloodied up nose. Gohan sighed, as he too rubbed his forehead. It was then that something happened..
"Man.. why do I feel weird?.." Gotenks asked, crossing his arms. A gold light highlighted the boy until two figures sat there, with both their arms crossed. "Aw man! We defused Goten!" Trunks pouted, a frown plastered on his face. "Yeah, and we can't fuse until an hour.." Goten sighed, looking at the others and looking around for the exit. Finally, he noticed a slight opening in the wall, and smiled. "Hey! Look guys!" "Not now Goten! Can't you see I'm busy trying to find the exit?" "Yeah! But Trunks, I already found-" "Shush Goten! C'mon! A little respect here?" "But I found the exit!" Trunks chuckled to himself and smirked. "Right.. and you'd be smart enough to find it.." "He's right Trunks! There it is!" Gohan exclaimed, pointing to the right. Trunks blushed with embarrassment, but got up and smirked. "Well? Are we going to go to the second floor or not?" ".. How do you know the room is on the second floor?" Gohan asked suspiciously. "Oh, well, when me and Goten were fused, Goten's stupidity made me forget where it was. And I know a shortcut to skip the obstacle course.. heh.." Tien smiled. "Alright! We'll get there fast for sure!" "Umm hmm." Trunks nodded, signifying a yes. "Ok, we have to cut through the next room, open a door that's for 'security' only, climb up the stairs, open that door, and that's it!" Yamcha grinned. "Let's go!" The four, well, now five, warriors ran towards the next room, excitement was raging inside them.
***
"Thanks dad! He should be here within an hour!" The young girl closed the door behind her and waved goodbye to her father. She walked up to the lobby, already paying her fee on the internet. She gave her computer printed ticket to a man, and walked right to the destination. She smiled, knowing she was going to have a great time. "I can't wait until Gohan comes.."
***
"This is it. Listen Vegeta, your going to have to carry Goku above the 'course. Me and Krillin will actually be down there going through everything, so wait for us at the end." Vegeta looked away, not liking his task at all. He looked over at the course. It consisted strictly of one swimming pool; one plastic ball filled room, another room with a chocolaty substance on the floor, and one last room with trivia. Vegeta grimaced slightly at how stupid it was for them to actually do the course. "Namek, why don't you just fly over everything?" Piccolo hesitated slightly. ".. I.. never thought of that! That's it Vegeta! We can just fly over everything!!" Krillin smiled, knowing that they were definitely going to win for sure. "Well, who's going to carry Kakarot's chair?"
***
"Ok, here's what were gonna do. We all be really quiet, and once we hear the others, blast 'em with our laser guns and then their out!" Trunks smirked as he knew the room was perfect. He looked up and down, and it was a perfect room. Shadows already overpowered the room as everyone moved, anxious for the other team to come.
***
"I can't believe I'm carrying Kakarot's chair.." Vegeta shot a death glare over to Piccolo and Krillin who were smirking at him. "Well, according to Goku, you are his slave for a couple of days." Krillin smirked, looking ahead as they almost finished flying overhead. Vegeta snorted angrily, and sighed. "I have to remind myself to get that baldy somehow.."
Finally, after absolutely no conversation and flying for two minutes, they reached the end of the obstacle course and looked ahead of them. Pitch black. Despite the fact that shadows were dancing on the walls. "Hey, everyone be on alert.. their hiding here, and I think they don't know we have a plan. Look, on the count of three, we all take fire and aim straight ahead, got it?" Piccolo whispered, as silent as he could. Krillin and Goku nodded, while Vegeta cackled evilly to himself.
"One.." Krillin whispered..
"Two.." Vegeta said wickedly.
"THREE!!" Goku cried out, oblivious to the fact that they had to be quiet.
"SHHHHHH!!" Piccolo, Krillin, and Vegeta cried. But by then.. it was too late..
The other team let out their war cries, while Vegeta smirked and put up a fighting stance, letting go of Goku's wheelchair. Without even caring who he was shooting at, Vegeta let out 6 into two directions, 6 to the other side, and 2 to two more directions. Pretty soon, beeping noises could be heard all over the room. Vegeta laughed malevolently, knowing that there was only one more person he needed to take out. He smirked as he saw all the others move out of the room, with their heads hung in shame, and walked towards the entrance to return their equipment.
"Ok Kakarot! It's just you and me!" Vegeta smirked, his voice full of excitement and evilness. A shadow moved in the room, and the prince knew immediately what to do. "That that Kakarot!" He aimed his weapon carefully, and shot three times as hard as he could. Three beeps could be heard off in the near distance. A mechanical voice up above said, "Game Over." Vegeta laughed to himself in victory, and lights came on, lighting up the whole two floors, and turning off all the effects of all the rooms. Vegeta was ready to see Goku, his face filled with loss and pain of losing. But what was in front of him he least expected to see..
"Namek?!"
Piccolo smiled, a wickedness spreading over his face, almost similar to Vegeta's. "But.. but how? I knocked everyone off! It was supposed to be me and Kakarot!" Piccolo crossed his arms, ready for explanation. "I knew you were up to something, so I figured it out. I knew you'd betray us so you can fight with Goku, so I pulled Goku in front of me, and you got him out. I already told Goku what my plan was, so he wouldn't get mad." Vegeta growled under his breath and ripped the laser gun in half.
Once everyone had gotten all their uniforms off, all the Z fighters met at the doorway of the Laser Tag arcade. They all talked about how it had been a good game and how maybe they could do it again. Gohan, Goten, Trunks, all took off the air, while Vegeta took hold again of the Goku's wheelchair.
***
"Man, I can't wait to eat lunch.." Goten's stomach growled furiously, as he grabbed his stomach to ease the pain. "Yeah, I'm hungry too." Trunks whined, copying his best friend as he grabbed his stomach and made a face. "Yeah! Let's eat!" Goku said immediately, happiness spreading over his eyes. Gohan looked away, as if reconsidering, but finally gave into temptation. "Ok.. where do you guys want to go eat?" Goku looked up in thought and an idea sprang into his mind. "I know a perfect place! Today, when I was watching Jerry Springer, I saw a commercial for a restaurant! The place is called.. umm.. Lucky Teases." "Oh yeah! I've heard of it! It's really cool!" Goten cried, excited to go. "Yea, I guess it's cool. All I know is that it has good food. Can we go Gohan?" Trunks asked his best friend's brother. Gohan smiled, and knowing of the pure heart he had, he finally gave in. "Well, I do have a few zeni to waste.." "Thank you thank you thank you!! Your the best brother ever!" Goten cried, and wrapped around Gohan's neck in a hug. Gohan smiled, and the saiyans changed their course to 'Lucky Teases'. (A/N If you want to know, Lucky Teases is exactly like Chucky Chesses.. that's where I got the name.. haha.. yeah, so anyway, back to the fic.)
***
Vegeta clutched the handles of the chair angrily. He was so fed up of this day already, and he wasn't in the mood to go to some stupid 'restaurant'. He looked over at his son, who was talking to Goten and Gohan, who were talking to Goku. He hated how everyone always turned to Goku for answers, or asked him first, of anything. Everyone treated the prince like he was always wrong, -- like nothing he did was right! He was sick of it.. maybe even tired of it. What could he do to get everyone's respect? Like the way Goku has the respect of everything.. why him? Why Goku of all people? He cursed to himself for having these thoughts.. was he getting soft? I mean, why did he want everyone to turn to him? Before, he only wanted to be left alone.. even though he still did, why does he want respect? He shrugged the thought away, and landed on the soft ground, right in front of the restaurant.
***
"I heard this restaurant has great food, and great entertainment for all ages. This'll be great!" Goku said, directing Vegeta to push him inside. The pure hearted saiyans... and one bad/evil/good.. (too many slashes), walked inside where they spotted a lot of five year old kids with their parents. Vegeta looked around in complete and utter awe. "There is NO way I am going to eat at some pathetic brat place!" Goku looked back, and looked at Vegeta with pleading eyes. "Aww, c'mon Vegeta! This place is awesome! Just look at it!" All of the sudden, a little four year old girl came with a glass of coke and threw it at Vegeta's face. She chuckled and went back to her table.
"That's it!! I will not listen to you Kakarot!! A BRAT JUST THREW HER DRINK IN MY FACE!" Goku's frown went into a grin. "Yeah, well.. you can't blame her.. she probably thought you were a monster and she got scared.." "WHAT?!?!" "Uhh.. guys," Gohan jumped in, "Look, let's have a nice time, ok? Your spoiling it for Goten and Trunks.." "Yeah, your right Gohan. Let's just chill Vegeta.." Remembering that he wanted to get more respect, Vegeta crossed his arms and looked away. "Fine brat," he looked over at Gohan, "Have it your way.." Gohan sighed, relieved he at least settled down one argument at the moment.
***
The five sat down at a round table, next to the stage so they could see the show. Goten couldn't wait to see the cute little puppets perform, while Trunks was excited, but not nearly as eager as Goten. Gohan knew the show would be cute, while Goku just felt like congratulating any actor that would go and do something. After ordering 10 orders of pizza, the saiyans sat down comfortably in their chairs, and waited for the show. Finally, a clown with red hair and a big red nose, jumped on stage, making all the five year olds scream and cheer.
"Hello boys and girls!!" He said cheerfully, doing wacky stuff to impress everyone. "I'm Itch the clown, and I'm here to make you smile! But, for now, the Tufetts are here to do a show for you! Give it up foooooooor the Tufetts!" Parents clapped and urged their children to do the same. The curtains gave way, and the lights were brightening up the stage. "This ought to be pathetic.." Vegeta thought, wishing he could be anywhere but there at the moment.
The stage revealed 4 really worn-out, broken wooden puppets, who all had country outfits on. The leader, the first one to say anything, spoke up. "Hey.. This song is dedicated to all yer pretty folk out there. Let's go! 1! 2! 3!" The puppet's mouth didn't even move.. The rest of the dummies all sang, but hardly moved their mouths at all. Vegeta's mouth opened wide in shock. It was the most pathetic thing he had ever seen!! He looked over at his son and Goten, who, for the most part, seemed to be enjoying it! Gohan was smiling, while Goku was attempting to dance in his chair. Vegeta felt like banging his head on the table, but instead simply crossed his arms. When the performance was over, the crowd erupted with cheers, and the puppets took a bow, only resulting for the leader puppet's head to come off. Vegeta would've burst out laughing, if it wasn't for the thing that happened next.
The clown reappeared on stage, clapping for the puppets. Vegeta smirked and nudged Goku hard in the ribs. "Look, it's you Kakarot.." Vegeta pointed to the pathetic clown, and Goku smiled. "Really? I've always wanted to be a clown! In fact, I want to be one when I grow up.." "Heh, trust me Kakarot, you already are a c-" "Shhh, not now Vegeta! This is the good part." The clown smiled and grabbed the microphone. "Are you ready for the next part of the show?" Everyone clapped. "Ok, we're going to need members from the audience for this part!" In an instant, two spotlights circled around the room, accompanied by a drum roll. Vegeta crossed his arms, and looked away, obviously bored. "Hm.. how about you! You two look like a lovely couple!" The spotlight shone on none other than Goku and Vegeta.
Goku gasped excitedly. "Vegeta! We got picked! We're going to be part of the show!" Vegeta snapped into reality and looked at Goku. "Are you crazy Kakarot? Have you gone mad? I will not allow myself to go on that absurd stage!" "C'mon dad! Go! It'll be cool!" Trunks said, looking at his father with puppy dog eyes. That's when the prince remembered what Bulma had said before she left for the cab.. Bye honey..be good to Trunks.. Vegeta cursed at himself. "Why did I have to fall in love with that woman?" A scowl appeared on his face as he got up and pushed Goku's wheelchair.

After several minutes of trying to get Goku's wheelchair onstage, they were finally up there and the spotlight was on them. The clown grabbed the microphone and walked over to Goku. "Hi mister! What's your name?" Goku smiled and said, "My name is Goku. Nice to meet you." The clown grinned back, and was happy with Goku's courtesy. He took a few steps over to Vegeta. "Hello. And your name would be?" "Hmph.. my name is Vegeta." "Alright! We have mister Loku, and Vegetables up on stage with us." Vegeta blushed as embarrassment swept over him. Goku just simply started laughing. "Um.. actually sir, my name is Goku. With a G.. and his name isn't Vegetables, it's Vegeta.." "Right, right. But hey, wouldn't it be funny if his name actually was Vegetable? I mean, doesn't he look like one? His hair really hits the spot.. He looks like broccoli or something!" A classic comedian drum roll played and the whole audience started laughing. Vegeta bubbled up with rage. "HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT?!" "Whoa.. calm down mister.. you wouldn't want to blow your top.." Another drum roll sounded throughout the stage and everyone laughed once more. Vegeta was about to turn super saiyan when Goku's insistent eyes stopped him. Vegeta sighed and crossed his arms, looking away as he did so. "Alright then. As you know, I'm Itch the clown!" Vegeta rolled his eyes and muttered. "You should be called Bit-" "Ok, then." Itch the clown interrupted, "This is the time where we ask Goku and Vegetables some questions." "Ok Vegetables, what do you like about this place?" "Nothing. Absolutely nothing. This is the most pathetic, ridiculous place I've ever been to!!" The clown gasped while all of the audience members were silent. At that moment, the clown went into a serious tone, grabbed a walky talky and said into it, "Code 61, Code 61. We have an unhappy customer, bring in security." "Ooo, your in trouble now Veggie!" "Don't ever call me that again Kakarot! And besides, what can these pathetic weaklings do to me?" He smirked, arrogance running through his features. Doors burst open on the sides, and 8 foot muscular men came from the doors. They ran to the stage and looked down at Vegeta. "Look at the shorty.." One of them said, making Vegeta's blood boil. "Take him away.." Itch the clown said dramatically, pointing to the door. The two men grabbed Vegeta by his legs and arms, and stretched him out above their heads. Now, you all know a saiyan's strength, but Vegeta was too shocked that he was being taken away to fight back. "Bye Vegeta! Have fun wherever your going!" Goku waved goodbye, while the clown smirked at him. "Vegetable-head is going to our happy facility. In there we make all our customers happy!" "Oh cool.. Vegeta needs that. Umm, how long will this take?" "About 30 minutes. Your party should be done with their food by then." "We're having a party?" "No.. that's what we call a group.." "But, why would you call a group a party?" "Because, since your together, it seems like your having a party.." "So we are having a party!" "Forget it Goku.. forget it.."

30 minutes later, Goku rubbed his stomach and licked his lips. "Mmm mm! That was so good! 25 pizzas is just what I needed!" Goten, Trunks and Gohan smiled, agreeing promptly with Goku. "Oh look! There's Vegeta! Let's go!" Goku grinned, and saw Vegeta who was looking straight ahead, as if in a trance. "Flowers... clowns... happy..." Vegeta mumbled, continue staring straight ahead, but grasping Goku's wheelchair. Gohan raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Are you alright Vegeta?" "Flowers." "Umm.. ok." Goku rubbed the back of his head and flashed his famous 'Son Grin'. "Uhh.. Bulma's going back out with Yamcha.." "Wha? Huh?" "Well, that got Vegeta back.." Gohan laughed and the group walked out of the entrance and flew to the air. Gohan flew in front of everyone, smiling because he knew what he was about to do was going to be enjoyable. The group followed the young demi-saiyan subconsciously, not noticing the fact they headed the wrong way from Capsule Corp.

Videl looked at her clock, as she had been waiting for quite a while. She smiled, and decided to get some popcorn for everyone when they arrived. Once she got 8 tubs of popcorn, 6 drinks, and 12 packets of gum, chocolate, and any candy you could buy, she smiled with herself and checked over the listings of the movies. "The Last Survive.. The Sun's Kiss.." Videl said, reading over the file. She knew that Gohan and his brother liked action movies, and many people said that 'The Last Survive was good.. She grinned and went up to the ticket counter. "Um.. miss? Can I have 5 tickets to 'The Last Survive' please?"
***
Gohan smiled as he set foot to the ground. "Well, here we are.." Goten and Trunks immediately looked up, Goku looked over at a bird that was flying nearby, and Vegeta raised an eyebrow as he noticed the surroundings weren't familiar to Capsule Corp..
"Alright! We're at the movies!" Goten cried, jumping up and down. Trunks smirked, knowing that once again, he could cause a lot of trouble. Goku, who had finally detected where they were, flashed a wide smile. "Popcorn! Vegeta, can we have popcorn?" "I don't care Kakarot.." "Great!" "Brat, why are we here again?" Vegeta asked, hating the fact that there was yet another thing that could set misery that day. "Oh," Gohan responded, "Videl told me to meet her here.." Trunks looked up at Gohan and nodded. He remembered now.. when they were playing laser tag, when Gohan's cell phone rang, it was Videl inviting them to the movies! The five walked in, when Videl was waving and motioning them to enter.
"Hey guys! I already paid for all of you, so you don't have to worry about popcorn or food." "FOOD!! You got us food?" Goku's eyes and face lit up with joy. "Yep. It was the least I could do for having that great afternoon with Gohan yesterday.." Videl smiled, the sweetness of it made Gohan smile back.
***
Videl, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Goku, and Vegeta walked into the first showing, all with a big carton of popcorn in their hands. "Where do you want to sit?" Videl inquired kindly. Gohan looked at the filled up seats in the back and looked over at the front, where it was big enough just for 5 people. Videl and Gohan sat at the left, Goten and Trunks in the middle, and Vegeta and Goku off to the right hand side. They all ate their popcorn in silence, and waited for the movie to start. The lights all faded out, and words were plastered on the screen with dramatic music in the background.
"Welcome to The Last Survive. Are you ready for the most entertaining movie that you will ever see? Then get ready for this!" The screen filled with a little girl, smiling. Vegeta smirked, waiting for some psycho killer to come and grab her. But instead, something all of them weren't expecting happened..
The little girl started laughing and a corny song came on. "Hello boys and girls! I'm going to sing a song for you! It's my personal favorite!" Then, she took a breath, and screamed, "IF YOUR HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS!!" She was totally off key and out of rhythm, and she smiled every time she paused. Goku, despite his injury, clapped his hands. "Isn't this fun Vegeta?" He smiled at his rival, but his rival didn't give him the same response. "Kakarot, let me put it this way. I don't know what's more pathetic.. This, or the stupid Lucky Teases!!" "Ohh, so you must really love this then!" All around them, four year olds clapped their hands. Vegeta noted that a small girl in the row in back of him was screaming louder than anyone else. He looked back, wishing he could just ki blast the girl and be done with it. She smiled and she only had 2 teeth... Vegeta looked back at the screen in disgust. "YAY! GO LITTLE GIRL!" She cried, kicking the back of Vegeta's chair, while doing so. "How dare you?!" The prince looked back at the girl and frowned right at her face. She started crying and tugged at her mother's shirt. "Momma.. there's a monster in front of me! Please! Make it go away!" The mother, who looked depressed and tired, looked at Vegeta menacingly. "Hey mister. Can you please turn around? Your scaring my little girl with your ugly face.." "WHAT?! YOU CAN GO TO HEL-"
"Hello everyone! I have another song!" The little girl on the movie said. She took a deep breath and yelled, "THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND!" Goku jumped around his 'chair once more, and smiled. "Round and round! The wheels on the bus go round and round. All through the town!"
***
Trunks sighed boringly, not even having his eyes on the screen at all. He glared over at his best friend, who was clapping and singing along to the movie. Trunks punched Goten in the arm, as he saw how pathetic he was. "Oww Trunks.. that hurt!" He said, a little too loudly. Trunks sighed, and crossed his arms. "Listen Goten.. let's ditch this place. I was thinking we should turn into Gotenks and skip into a lot of movies.. what do you think?" "Aww, Trunks! I like this movie!"
Just then, the little girl tripped over a wire and she got a bloodied face. "WAHHHHH!" She cried, trying to sing a song while doing so. "Well,.. it is a little immature.." Goten sighed, while looking at a smirking Trunks. "Exactly. C'mon, let's get out of here." "But Trunks! How are we supposed to get away from my dad and brother?" Trunks put his chin in his hand in thought. "Tell him we have to go to the bathroom or something.." "That's a lame excuse!" "You got any better ones?" "No.." "Alright then.." Goten sighed and tugged on his brother's shirt sleeve. "Umm.. Gohan?" "What's up Goten?" "Can me and Trunks go to the bathroom?" "Sure.." Trunks immediately got up and didn't even wait for the young Goten to follow him. As soon as they reached the bathroom, Trunks made sure that no one was in there to witness them. "Ok Goten, the coast is clear. Let's do this.." Goten nodded, and smiled.
"FUU--"
"--SION--"
"--HAAA!!"
The now familiar blue and red glow surrounded the two boys as their bodies joined together. An intense gold light once again replaced the red and blue. Gotenks smirked. "It's time to have some real fun.."
