Chapter Two: Supreme Kai the Psy-kai-atrist!
Approximately three hours later, they have found a place to put the dino caps, have eaten, and are inside the huge house…
"Where do I sleep!?" Goten asked Bulma, running from room to room, WAY too overexcited.
"The room at the end of the hall," Bulma said. "You'll find Trunks there."
"Okay!" Goten ran off down the hall, into the last room. "Hiya, Trunks!"
"Oh, man, I'm sharing a room with you?" Trunk's voice came. "How am I gonna wake you up in the morning?"
The door closed, blocking out the boy's voices. Bulma smiled and walked over to the door. She knocked. "Boys, time for bed!"
"Mom, do we have to?" Trunks' whine came.
"Yes," Bulma said sternly. "Now you'll find toothbrushes in the bathroom."
"Okay, Mom!" Bulma walked down the hall and into the living room. Goku and Gohan were playing checkers, Dende and Supreme Kai were having a friendly chat, Yamcha and Piccolo were examining paintings, and Vegeta was staring off into space. A few minutes later, Goten and Trunks came running into the room.
"Night, Daddy!" Goten hugged Goku. He hugged him back.
"Good night, Goten."
"Good night, Mom!" Trunks hugged her leg. (A/n: Ah, the good night rounds… yuck! Hate those! Grandparents always giving you kisses… -_-')
"Night, Krillin!" The two hugged him, then ran on to Vegeta.
"Night Dad/Night Vegeta!" They hugged him.
"No! Get off of me!" Vegeta yelled. "Vermin!"
"Night Piccolo!" The two hugged his legs.
"Ugh… the munchkins…" Piccolo said, looking down at them.
"Night Yamchaaaaaaa!" The two hugged his legs.
"Um… good night?" Yamcha was a tad confused.
"Night, Supreme Kai!" They hugged him. (NOT his legs…he's too short for that.)
"Why did I come on this vacation?" Supreme Kai asked the ceiling.
"Night, Dende!" They hugged him.
"Good night, boys!" Dende said. They turned to each other.
"Good night Goten!"
"Good night, Trunks!" They hugged each other, then rushed over to the couch where Gohan was sitting. They jumped up on his lap. "Gohan, will you read us a story?!"
"Please?" Trunks asked.
"Um…" Gohan glanced at Goku and Bulma.
"PLEASE!?" They begged with big, watery, puppy dog eyes. Bulma and Goku nodded.
"Okay, guys, go to your room I'll be there in a second." Gohan said.
"YAY!!!!!!" The two ran off down the hall.
"Bulma, I need a story book…" Gohan said.
"Well, I have THIS one…" Bulma pulled a book out of a drawer.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Vegeta yelled. "Fluffy Bunnies and Happy Fun Land is MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Vegeta snatched the book and ran out of the room. Everyone stared after him before Gohan finally spoke: "Um… riiiiight… got any others?"
"Um, let me think…" Bulma thought for a minute. "Oh, yeah!" Bulma reached down in another drawer, pulling out a book. "HERE we go! I've got plenty more, too. JUST in case!"
"Thanks, Bulma!" Gohan took the book and ran off down the hall.
*~*~*
"And so Rapunzel(sp?) got out of her bubble, let down her hair, and died," Gohan said. (A/n: AHAHAHAHA!!!! BUBBLE BOY!!!!!!) "The end!"
Gohan shut the book and Goten sniffed. "That's… so sad!"
"Man, that sucked!" Trunks exclaimed, his arms crossed. "I want a REAL story!"
"Oh…" Gohan blinked. "Well… uh… hey, Bulma, I've got a SITUATION here!"
"VEGETA, GIVE ME THE BOOK!!!!!" Bulma yelled. "THE BOYS NEED IT!!!!!!"
"NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta yelled. "IT'S MY BOOK!!!!! MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Um…right…" Gohan turned to the boys. "You two need to go to bed, anyway."
"Oh, okay." Trunks laid down and pulled up the covers.
"Good night, Gohan!" Goten called.
"Good night, Goten," Gohan said. "Good night, Trunks. Sweet dreams!"
"Don't let the bed bugs bite!" Goten called. Gohan smiled and shut the door.
"Are they asleep?" Bulma asked. She had her hands on Fluffy Bunnies and Happy Fun Land and her feet against Vegeta's chest, pulling as hard as she could on the book.
"No, but they will be," Gohan said. He looked at the book in his hand. "They wanted a different story, though…"
"That's not a problem," Bulma said. "Because I've almost- got- this one!"
"YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta screamed.
"Vegeta…" Bulma said, a singsong tone in her voice. "I'll read it to you every night before bed time…!"
"EVERY night?" Vegeta asked. Bulma nodded and Vegeta let go of the book. "Just make sure they don't demolish it."
"Okay!" Bulma put it in the drawer with all of the other storybooks.
"Hey, where's Goku?" Supreme Kai asked.
"And Piccolo and YAmcha?" Dende asked.
"Gee, I don't know…" Bulma thought for a minute.
"Goku said he was going to follow the two," Krillin said. "They looked AWFULLY suspicious…"
"Then I'll go after them!" Gohan exclaimed. He ran out the door and Krillin blinked.
"But he said 'nobody follow me'…" Krillin said.
"KRILLIN!" Bulma yelled.
"What? I just now remembered…" Krillin said.
"Well, I'm going to bed." Dende said, stretching.
"Yeah, me, too." Supreme Kai and Dende left the room.
"I think I'll be going, too," Krillin said. "I'll try and think of another way to get off this haunted island…"
*~*~*
Goten woke up, startled. He started crying, got up from his bed, and closed the door behind him. He walked down the hall to his father's room and opened the door.
"Daddy, I had a bad dream!" Goten cried. "I dreamed that you, and Gohan, and Mommy got eaten by dinosaurs! Daddy, it was horrible! Huh? Daddy?"
Goten walked over to the bedside table and picked up a note. It said: "Dear Goten, I went after Piccolo and Yamcha because they are acting very suspiciously. They were mumbling something like 'and those stupid frilly skirts!'. Odd, huh? Anyway, I'm sorry you had a bad dream. Why don't you go see Gohan? Love, Daddy". Goten put the note down with disappointment and left the room.
(Screen switches to hall view) Goten closes the door to Goku's room behind him and walks across the hall and into Gohan's room.
"Gohan, I had a bad dream!" Goten cried. "I dreamed that you, Daddy, and Mommy got eaten by dinosaurs! Gohan, it was horrible! Huh? Gohan?"
Goten walked over to the bedside table and picked up a note. It said: "Dear Goten, Gohan went after your father because he wanted to find out what Piccolo and Yamcha were up to, also. Gohan didn't have any time to leave a note for you if he had any chance of catching up to the three. But don't worry, they'll be back soon! Krillin P.S. Maybe you won't even come in here to find this note… WHO KNOWS!". Goten sniffed.
"I FEEL SO NEGLEEEEEECTED!!!!" Goten ran from the room and into Krillin's room. "Krillin, Krillin, I had a bad dream!"
Krillin snored. Goten sighed and left the room, dragging his pillow behind him. He went into Dende's room. "Dende… I had a bad dream!" Goten started shaking him. "Dende!"
Dende didn't even stir. Goten looked at the bedside table to see a case of 'Sleeping Pills'. Goten read it out loud: "Sleeping… Pills! Oh, man!"
Goten walked out into the hall, went to knock on Supreme Kai's door, then stopped. He shook his head: "NAH!"
Goten rushed to a figure: "Mr. Frieza, I had bad drea-eam!" Frieza gasped and disappeared. Goten started crying as he held the pillow in his right hand. Bulma came walking down the hall.
"Goten, what's the matter?"
"Bulma, I had bad dream!" Goten said through tears. "Can I sleep with you?"
"Sure," Bulma said. "Of course, kid!"
"NO YOU CANNOT!" Vegeta suddenly yelled. He had arrived in the hall. "Why is everyone flirting with MY wife!? Even the CHILDREN are getting ideas!!!!"
"For goodness sake, Vegeta!" Bulma shouted. "He's just a child!"
"EXACTLY!" Vegeta yelled. "They SEEM so innocent! But deep down-"
"FOOOOOOOORGEEEEEEEEEET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goten suddenly screamed. The two turned to look at him. "I will just go to Supreme KAI'S room!"
Goten stormed into Supreme Kai's room and slammed the door behind him. Supreme Kai sat up straight and turned on the lamp that sat on his bedside table. "Goten, whatever is the matter?"
"Supreme Kai, I had a bad dream." Goten said. He sniffed.
"Oh, come here," Kai patted the bed and Goten jumped up beside him. "Tell me all about it."
"Well, Supreme Kai-"
"Please, call me Kai," Supreme Kai said.
"Okay, Kai," Goten nodded. "I had a dream that Daddy, Gohan, and Mommy got eaten by a dinosaur! And there was nothing I could do because all of my powers had been taken away!"
"I see," Supreme Kai nodded. "Alright, Goten, why don't you give me all of the details?"
A while later after Goten has told Supreme Kai all about his dream…
"And that's when I woke up," Goten said. "It was really scary…"
"I'm sure it was," Supreme Kai said. "And especially for someone of your age. Now, Goten, I believe that your powers leaving you represents the haunted island on which we are residing now. You believe that you can't do a thing to help us get off of it. The dinosaur represents Frieza, and you are scared that he will take away everyone that means something to you. In essence: Gohan, your father, and mother."
"Wow, Kai, you're really good at this…" Goten said, his mouth slightly open in awe. Supreme Kai nodded.
"Right, now why don't you get some sleep?" Supreme Kai asked.
"Okay," Goten nodded and left for the door, dragging his pillow. He put his hand on the doorknob and stopped. "Supreme Kai, can I sleep with you in case it happens again?"
Supreme Kai smiled. "Sure." Goten grinned and jumped back on the bed, putting his pillow down. He laid down and pulled up the covers. "All tucked in?"
"Yeah." Goten nodded.
"Okay, lights OUT." Supreme Kai turned off the light.
"Supreme Kai?"
"Yes, Goten?"
"Thanks."
"Anytime."
*~*~*
Trunks woke up, gasping for air. He turned over to look for Goten. "Goten!" He went to shake the lump in the bed, but found that it was just air. Trunks screamed in horror and ran from the room. "GOTEN!!!!!"
"Trunks, what's the matter?" Bulma asked.
"Mom, I had a bad dream!" Trunks exclaimed, still gasping for air. "I had a dream that Goten was gone! I couldn't find him anywhere! He was gone from the entire solar system! And then when I woke up- HE WASN'T THERE!!! Mom, Goten is GONE!!!!"
"Trunks, calm down," Bulma said. "Goten has to be around here somewhere, because I saw him a few minutes ago!"
"NO, Mom!" Trunks shook his head. "Goten is GONE! Goten's GONE forever! And I'll never hear his stomach growl EVER again! Goten, WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!?"
"I'm right here, Trunks." Trunks swung around to see Goten standing in the doorway, rubbing his eyes.
"GOOOOOOOOTEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!" Trunks grabbed onto his best friend's legs. He started crying. "Goten, I thought you were gone! I had a bad dream that I couldn't find you! And when I woke up-"
"I was in Supreme Kai's room," Goten said. "I had a bad dream, too."
"What's all the screaming about?" Krillin arrived and turned on the light. Supreme Kai arrived, yawning. Then Vegeta arrived, carrying a stuffed, pink bunny. He looked down at the rabbit, then threw it down the hall, back into his room.
"These two just had a bad dream, that's all," Bulma said. "Nobody's getting killed, or anything."
"Goten, I thought we sorted out your problem," Supreme Kai said. "Did you have another dream?"
"No, but I heard Trunks screaming my name," Goten said. "I came out here to see what he wanted."
"You're alive!" Trunks was still crying as he held onto Goten's legs. "I can't believe you're alive!!!"
"Alright, it's been quite a night," Bulma said. "Let's all go back to our own rooms and get some sleep. Come on, get going."
She shooed everyone out of the living room and turned off the lights.
Somewhere out in the middle of the jungle……
"Man, stupid bugs…" Goku swatted another mosquito. Then he ran into something. "OW!!! Gohan!?"
"Dad? Is that you?" Gohan asked.
"Why did you follow me!?" Goku asked. "Didn't Krillin tell you!?"
"Tell me what?" Gohan asked.
"Never mind," Goku said. "Hey, they're stopping!"
"This looks like a good place." Piccolo said.
"Right," Yamcha put down the stool and put a game board down on top of it. "Shall I go first or you?"
"I'll go!" Yamcha picked up a few figurines. "Man, how come there has to be four?"
"I normally just pick out whichever woman I like best." Piccolo said, crossing his arms.
"Thanks, Piccolo!" Yamcha dropped the four cardboard sticks and picked out four more. "I pick this one!"
Yamcha dropped the other three and Piccolo looked at them. "Oh, man, you got the good one!"
"Nyah-nyah!" Yamcha spit out his tongue.
"Alright, I pick this one," Piccolo picked one up and put it somewhere on the board, next to Yamcha's. He picked up another cardboard stick from the box. (A/n: Any of you that have ever seen or played Barbie Dream Date know what I am describing here…) "So I guess I'm this ugly human?"
"You bet," Yamcha said. He picked up a cardboard stick. "Look at me? Aren't I so cute?"
Piccolo and Yamcha laughed. "What do you think they're doing?" Gohan asked.
"I don't know," Goku said. "But I'm not leaving until I found out!"
"Right." Gohan nodded.
"Okay, Yamcha spin." Piccolo said. Yamcha spun two spinners and they waited.
"Yeah, I got two! That means I get a candy!" Yamcha exclaimed. He took a card. He held it up. "Look, I got ugly, frosted jelly beans!"
Piccolo snickered and spun the spinner. "Six. That means I get a perfume…. I got Heart of Gold…" Yamcha cracked up laughing. "Shut up, Yamcha! It makes me smell all gold inside!"
"All right, my turn," Yamcha spun the spinners. "I got the clock, therefore it's now one o clock…" Yamcha turned something on the game board. "And I got three. Darn. Don't get nothin."
"Ha!" Piccolo exclaimed. "Loser!"
"At least I don't smell all gold inside." Yamcha said. Piccolo muttered something and spun the spinners.
"I got four and the clock," Piccolo said. "It's two(o clock), and I get a flower! Ooh, look, a yellow carnation!"
"Does that make you smell all yellow inside?" Yamcha asked. "I got one and the clock(three o clock). This game will be over PRETTY soon, something tells me. Look, I got a perfume and it's called 'Night Star'. Ooh, I got my favorite!"
"What on EARTH are they doing?" Gohan asked.
"Sh!" Goku whispered. "Piccolo's spinning that spinny thing!"
"The spinner?"
"Yeah!"
"Hey, I got five! Flowers!" Piccolo exclaimed.
"But you can't get more than one, Piccolo!"
"Oh, that's right." Piccolo looked disappointed.
"Well… Since it's just the two of us, we can both get two," Yamcha said, giving in to Piccolo's pathetic expression.
"Yay!" Piccolo chose a card. "A rose!"
"Four!" Yamcha had already spun. "I got irises! How pretty…"
"Three… and the clock (Four o clock). I got candy! Finally! …Gumdrops. I HATE gumdrops!" Yamcha snickered.
Near the end of Piccolo and Yamcha's mysterious board game…
"My turn," Piccolo said. "Oh look, I got two. I get to go horseback-riding!" Then it was Yamcha's turn.
"Five! Ice cream parlor, here I come!" Piccolo spun again.
"Four and THE CLOCK! Oh no! Time's up! But first I get to go on a dinner date!"
"Really? With who?" Yamcha asked.
"BARBIE, stupid!" In the bushes behind them, Gohan and his father gasped and looked at each other in horror.
"It's worse than I thought," Goku whispered.
"Yeah… Imagine, Piccolo and Yamcha dating BARBIE."
"No, they're PLAYING Barbie!" Goku hissed in exasperation.
"PLAYING Barbie? But I don't see any dolls." Gohan looked at his father in confusion.
"NO! Barbie DREAM Date! Hasn't Videl ever made you play?" Gohan blinked.
"Um… no." Goku narrowed his eyes in envy.
"I hate you."
"DARN, YOU WON!" Yamcha shouted. Piccolo batted his eyelashes (A/n: …Does he even have any?).
"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful," he replied in a preppy voice.
"Or because you smell all GOLD inside?" Yamcha shot back. In the bushes, Goku and Gohan snickered. Yamcha went stiff. "Did you hear something?"
"…No." Piccolo crossed his arms. "And I DO smell all gold inside, for YOUR INFORMATION."
Yamcha put the game away and stood up, the box under his arm. "How can you SMELL all 'gold' inside?"
"Just SHUT up and let's get back to the house," Piccolo said. "We need to get some sleep before morning."
Yamcha nodded. "Right!" The two walked off and few moments later, Goku jumped out of the bushes.
"Man, Barbie DREAM Date!" Goku exclaimed. Gohan crawled out of the bushes, and stood up next to father.
"Well, if it has anything to do with Barbies, I DEFINITELY don't want anything to do with it," Gohan crossed his arms. Long silence. You can hear crickets chirping. "I said something stupid again, didn't I?"
"Yeeeah." Goku nodded, then stretched his arms out. "Let's go back home and get to bed."
"Okay." Gohan and Goku flew off towards the house.
*~*~*
"Daddy!" Goten jumped on his father's stomach. Goku had been lying on the couch, sleeping. He looked around to see who had woken him.
"Oh, hey, Goten!" Goku greeted his son.
"Daddy, I had bad dream last night." Goten said.
"Yeah, I know," Goku said. "Sorry I wasn't there…"
"It's okay," Goten said. "Because Supreme Kai helped me sort it out! And then he let me sleep in his room!"
"Really?" Goku asked.
"Yep!" Goten nodded with a smile. "Hey, wait a second, how did you know I had a bad dream when you wrote me the note?"
"Well, I knew you hadn't had the dream YET," Goku said. "But I knew you were going to have it. I'm your father, I just know these kind of things."
"Okay…" Goten looked a little puzzled. "I guess I'll know when I become a Dad, TOO, huh!?"
"Yeah, guess so…" Goku was staring off into space, imagining Goten as a father.
"Dad? Daddy?" Goten waved his hand in front of his father's face. "Daddy, what's wrong?"
"Huh? Oh! Nothing!" Goku looked over at Bulma and mouthed: 'Him? A father?'. Bulma shrugged.
"Hey, I never thought you'd be one!" Bulma walked off into the kitchen.
"Hey, Daddy, where's Gohan?" Goten asked.
"Gohan? Um…" Goku thought for a minute. "I think he's still asleep."
"Okay!" Goten jumped up and ran off down the hall.
"Goten, don't wake him!" Goku heard a door open and close. He heard the door open again.
"Hey, Trunks, I want you to see something really funny!" Goten called. The sound of feet running across the hall rang through Goku's ears, then a door closed. Goku looked at Bulma with a funny smile.
"Heh, kids…"
*~*~*
"Do you think we should wake him?" Trunks asked. They were sitting cross-legged on Gohan's bed.
"I dunno…" Gohan was mumbling something like: 'Videl, I love you, too'. Goten spotted something. "Huh?"
"What is it Goten?" Trunks looked over to see a stuffed animal that resembled Videl. (A/n: A VIDEL PLUSHY!!!! I almost ALWAYS have a plushy in my fics… ^_^) Gohan started drooling on it. "Ew…"
"Well we can't let it get dirty," Goten said, getting on his knees and hands. "Gohan would get mad if he found drool on it."
He took the Videl plushy's arm in his hand and gently started pulling. Gohan immediately woke up: "NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!!!"
"But it's cute!" Goten exclaimed. "And you were drooling on it!"
"I don't care if you think it's cute!" Gohan yelled. "It's my cute stuffed animal, and you can't have it!"
"But I wanna sleep with it!" Goten yelled.
"NO, Goten, you can't sleep with it!!!!" Gohan pulled harder, tugging the plushy closer to him.
"But it looks so soft and cuddly!" Goten yelled, pulling harder, and pulling it closer towards him.
"But it's mine!" Gohan yelled.
"But I want it!" Goten yelled back. Trunks watched them tug back and forth. (A/n: Durable plush, ne?)
"GIVE IT TO ME!!!!" Gohan yelled. The two brothers went Super Saiyan and pulled harder. Suddenly, the plush's arms ripped off. (A/n: Maaaybe not.) Gohan, Trunks, and Goten stared at it. Gohan burst into tears. "DAAAAAAD!!!!!"
Gohan ran from the room. "DAD, GOTEN BROKE MY VIDEL PLUSHY!!!!"
"Oh, man, Goten!" Trunks said. "Look what you've done! Not that I blame you, it is all cute and cuddly looking…"
"Oh, man!" Goten started pulling on his hair and he started jumping around on the bed. "I'm gonna be in trouble!!!!"
"Speaking of trouble," Trunks said. "I'm going to be in it, too, if I stick around here TOO much longer!"
Trunks ran from the room and Goten grabbed the plushy. He ran into the living room where Gohan was trying to tell his father exactly what happened. "DAD, GOTEN BROKE MY VIDEL PLUSHY!"
"But I can fix it!" Goten exclaimed, jumping on the couch cushion next to his father. He held up the Videl plushy and continued jumping. "See? I can fix it! I can put its arms back on!"
"Dad, Goten started pulling on it, and I told him he couldn't have it-"
"I CAN FIX IT, I CAN FIX IT!"
"-but he kept on pulling-"
"I can put its arms back on!"
"-and then he said he wanted to sleep with it!" Gohan yelled. "Now that was just TOO far! NO way was I gonna let him sleep with my plushy! NOBODY can sleep with it but me!"
"Daddy, I can fix it, I can FIX it!" The two continued yelling, interrupting each other, until you could even tell what they were saying. Finally Goku stopped them:
"ENOUGH!!!!" Goten and Gohan quit yelling, and Goten landed on the couch. Goku took the plushy from Goten (along with it's arms), and looked it over. "Hey, it IS kinda cute!"
"Dad…" Gohan said through clenched teeth, his fists clasped.
"Right, right. Heh. Bulma?"
"Uh huh?"
"Could you possibly fix this stuffed Videl?" Goku asked, holding it up. Bulma took it from him, and looked it up and down.
"Hm…"
*~*~*
"THERE!" Bulma held the doll up. "Good as new!"
"Alright! Thanks, Bulma!" Gohan marveled at his Videl plushy.
"Hey, Bulma, I want one too!" Goten exclaimed from below the counter.
"You want one?" Bulma asked. "Well, let's see, what do you want a plushy of?"
"Hm… a girl!" Goten exclaimed.
"A girl, huh…?" Bulma smiled.
"Yeah…" Goten nodded.
"Okay, what should she look like?" Bulma asked.
"Just make her pretty." Goten said.
"Make her pretty, huh? Well, I'll try!"
"Thanks, Bulma!" Goten ran off and jumped over the back of the couch. "Gohan, I'm sorry about your Videl plushy…"
"That's okay," Gohan ruffled his little brother's hair. "Just don't do it again!"
"Okay!" Goten nodded. "Hey, Daddy, Bulma's making me a plushy, too!"
"It's not of Videl is it?" Gohan asked warily.
"No."
"Because I'll have to take it if it is."
"No, but it's gonna be a girl." Goten said.
"Well, congratulations, it'll be a girl…" Goku shook Goten's hand, then yawned and started mumbling: "Gonna be a girl…" He fell asleep and started snoring quietly.
"What's wrong with Dad?" Goten asked, blinking.
"Maybe he's just real tired," Gohan said. "We should just leave him alone."
"Okay!" Goten nodded and jumped over the back of the couch.
*~*~*
Yamcha yawned and walked into the kitchen. "Hey, Bulma, what're you doing?"
"I'm making Goten a stuffed animal," Bulma said. Then she added: "Actually, I'm making him a stuffed girl."
"Really? Sounds like fun…" Yamcha walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. "Hi, Goku."
Goku snored in response. Piccolo came into the kitchen singing/mumbling: "Barbie dot com. First ask Dad or Mom…" He noticed Bulma. "I have that STUPID commercial song stuck in my head! I couldn't find the mute button in the dark!"
"You know, that happened to me once," Bulma said. "I was watching my favorite soap Opera 'The Kissy Kissy Love Show'(A/n: Name donated by my sister.), when-"
"That's VERY nice, Bulma," Yamcha interrupted. "I'm sure we'd all LOVE to hear it over lunch."
"Okay!" Bulma went back to her task. Goku groaned and rolled over:
"Ugly, frosted jelly beans…" he said drunkenly.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Yamcha and Piccolo screamed.
"Goku would you like some?" Bulma asked. "I have some right here!"
"I smell all gold inside…!" Goku muttered in his sleep with a goofy grin on his face.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Yamcha and Piccolo covered Goku's head with a pillow.
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TWO DOING!!!!?" Bulma ran over to them and ripped the pillow from Goku's face. "You could suffocate him! And the poor thing wouldn't ever know…"
"I didn't see him!" Yamcha covered.
"She's right," Piccolo said. "The only thing that can wake that boy is food."
"So we're safe for now, right?" Yamcha asked in a hushed tone.
"Don't worry," Piccolo said. "Ol' Goku is dense as a brick. He'll totally forget about it when he wakes up."
"Great!" Yamcha exclaimed. "Now all we have to do is get rid of the kids…"
"So, um, Bulma, where are the munchkins?" Piccolo asked.
"They went swimming." Bulma said, walking back to the counter and sitting down on her stool. She began to work on Goten's stuffed girl again.
"UNSUPERVISED!?" Piccolo asked.
"This is perfect!" Yamcha whispered, rubbing his hands together.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS!!!!?" Piccolo asked Yamcha. Yamcha slapped him. "Sorry…"
"Of course not, silly!" Bulma exclaimed. "Vegeta's out there. But of course I don't trust HIM, so I have Supreme Kai and Dende out there, too. Krillin is swimming with them."
"And what about Gohan?" Piccolo asked. Then he whispered to Yamcha: "I can't kill his brother in FRONT of him!"
"Shut up, Piccolo!" Yamcha whispered back crossly.
"Oh! Gohan!" Bulma thought for a moment. "I REALLY don't know where he is."
"Um, Bulma?" Yamcha started twiddling his fingers. "If we were to- I mean, if somebody were to try and kill the boys, would you know?"
"Of course!" Bulma said, not taking her eyes up from Goten's plushy. "I can see them right here!" Bulma tapped the small TV that was sitting next to her on the counter. "So if anybody tries to kill ANYBODY I'll get Goku out there. Unless, of course, they're killing Vegeta."
"Right, of course…." Yamcha trailed off. He turned to Piccolo: "Darn, can't kill 'em now!"
"Yamcha?"
"What?" Yamcha turned around warily. Had he spoken too loud? Had Bulma heard him?
"Do you think Trunks will want a plushy, too?" Bulma inquired.
"Um…"
"Trunks is a big boy," Piccolo said. "He has better things to do than to play with dolls!"
"But just last week I caught him with Vegeta's stuffed rabbit," Bulma said. "You know, the stuffed pink one?"
"Oh…then…" Yamcha looked at Piccolo.
"I'll go ask him!" Piccolo ran from the room and Bulma looked at the TV screen intently. Yamcha caught what Piccolo was attempting to do. He was gonna try and kill the kids! Right in front of the others!
"Uh, I'd better go make sure he doesn't fall in!" YAmcha ran after Piccolo.
"Trunks, your mother wants to know if-"
"You NUMB nuts!" Yamcha pushed Piccolo into the pool. Piccolo surfaced.
"What!!!? I was just asking Trunks a question!"
"Whatever," Yamcha turned to Trunks. "Trunks, your mother wants to know if you would like a new stuffed animal. Preferably a plushy like Goten's?"
"That was the same question he was asking…" Trunks said. "You two are acting weird…!"
"Please, just answer the question," Yamcha said. "Please, please, please…"
"Well, I don't know," Trunks said looking behind him at Goten. "I haven't seen Goten's."
"It's gonna be cute!" Yamcha exclaimed. "And pretty and cuddly and soft!"
"Like my Dad's rabbit?" Trunks asked. Vegeta pulled his pink rabbit closer to him on his lounge chair.
"Yeah!" Yamcha nodded. "Except it's gonna be a girl, and it won't be pink."
"Okay," Trunks nodded. "Just tell Mom it can't have pink hair!" Trunks looked at his father. "That's for sissies…"
"Okay!" Yamcha ran back inside and into the kitchen.
So, tell me, did you like this chapter as much as the first? Courtney(my sis) likes my dream analysis. All of my friends keep telling me I'd be a good Psychiatrist(especially Jill)... -_-' Not that there's anything WRONG with it... Well! Tell me what you thought!
Approximately three hours later, they have found a place to put the dino caps, have eaten, and are inside the huge house…
"Where do I sleep!?" Goten asked Bulma, running from room to room, WAY too overexcited.
"The room at the end of the hall," Bulma said. "You'll find Trunks there."
"Okay!" Goten ran off down the hall, into the last room. "Hiya, Trunks!"
"Oh, man, I'm sharing a room with you?" Trunk's voice came. "How am I gonna wake you up in the morning?"
The door closed, blocking out the boy's voices. Bulma smiled and walked over to the door. She knocked. "Boys, time for bed!"
"Mom, do we have to?" Trunks' whine came.
"Yes," Bulma said sternly. "Now you'll find toothbrushes in the bathroom."
"Okay, Mom!" Bulma walked down the hall and into the living room. Goku and Gohan were playing checkers, Dende and Supreme Kai were having a friendly chat, Yamcha and Piccolo were examining paintings, and Vegeta was staring off into space. A few minutes later, Goten and Trunks came running into the room.
"Night, Daddy!" Goten hugged Goku. He hugged him back.
"Good night, Goten."
"Good night, Mom!" Trunks hugged her leg. (A/n: Ah, the good night rounds… yuck! Hate those! Grandparents always giving you kisses… -_-')
"Night, Krillin!" The two hugged him, then ran on to Vegeta.
"Night Dad/Night Vegeta!" They hugged him.
"No! Get off of me!" Vegeta yelled. "Vermin!"
"Night Piccolo!" The two hugged his legs.
"Ugh… the munchkins…" Piccolo said, looking down at them.
"Night Yamchaaaaaaa!" The two hugged his legs.
"Um… good night?" Yamcha was a tad confused.
"Night, Supreme Kai!" They hugged him. (NOT his legs…he's too short for that.)
"Why did I come on this vacation?" Supreme Kai asked the ceiling.
"Night, Dende!" They hugged him.
"Good night, boys!" Dende said. They turned to each other.
"Good night Goten!"
"Good night, Trunks!" They hugged each other, then rushed over to the couch where Gohan was sitting. They jumped up on his lap. "Gohan, will you read us a story?!"
"Please?" Trunks asked.
"Um…" Gohan glanced at Goku and Bulma.
"PLEASE!?" They begged with big, watery, puppy dog eyes. Bulma and Goku nodded.
"Okay, guys, go to your room I'll be there in a second." Gohan said.
"YAY!!!!!!" The two ran off down the hall.
"Bulma, I need a story book…" Gohan said.
"Well, I have THIS one…" Bulma pulled a book out of a drawer.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Vegeta yelled. "Fluffy Bunnies and Happy Fun Land is MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Vegeta snatched the book and ran out of the room. Everyone stared after him before Gohan finally spoke: "Um… riiiiight… got any others?"
"Um, let me think…" Bulma thought for a minute. "Oh, yeah!" Bulma reached down in another drawer, pulling out a book. "HERE we go! I've got plenty more, too. JUST in case!"
"Thanks, Bulma!" Gohan took the book and ran off down the hall.
*~*~*
"And so Rapunzel(sp?) got out of her bubble, let down her hair, and died," Gohan said. (A/n: AHAHAHAHA!!!! BUBBLE BOY!!!!!!) "The end!"
Gohan shut the book and Goten sniffed. "That's… so sad!"
"Man, that sucked!" Trunks exclaimed, his arms crossed. "I want a REAL story!"
"Oh…" Gohan blinked. "Well… uh… hey, Bulma, I've got a SITUATION here!"
"VEGETA, GIVE ME THE BOOK!!!!!" Bulma yelled. "THE BOYS NEED IT!!!!!!"
"NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta yelled. "IT'S MY BOOK!!!!! MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Um…right…" Gohan turned to the boys. "You two need to go to bed, anyway."
"Oh, okay." Trunks laid down and pulled up the covers.
"Good night, Gohan!" Goten called.
"Good night, Goten," Gohan said. "Good night, Trunks. Sweet dreams!"
"Don't let the bed bugs bite!" Goten called. Gohan smiled and shut the door.
"Are they asleep?" Bulma asked. She had her hands on Fluffy Bunnies and Happy Fun Land and her feet against Vegeta's chest, pulling as hard as she could on the book.
"No, but they will be," Gohan said. He looked at the book in his hand. "They wanted a different story, though…"
"That's not a problem," Bulma said. "Because I've almost- got- this one!"
"YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta screamed.
"Vegeta…" Bulma said, a singsong tone in her voice. "I'll read it to you every night before bed time…!"
"EVERY night?" Vegeta asked. Bulma nodded and Vegeta let go of the book. "Just make sure they don't demolish it."
"Okay!" Bulma put it in the drawer with all of the other storybooks.
"Hey, where's Goku?" Supreme Kai asked.
"And Piccolo and YAmcha?" Dende asked.
"Gee, I don't know…" Bulma thought for a minute.
"Goku said he was going to follow the two," Krillin said. "They looked AWFULLY suspicious…"
"Then I'll go after them!" Gohan exclaimed. He ran out the door and Krillin blinked.
"But he said 'nobody follow me'…" Krillin said.
"KRILLIN!" Bulma yelled.
"What? I just now remembered…" Krillin said.
"Well, I'm going to bed." Dende said, stretching.
"Yeah, me, too." Supreme Kai and Dende left the room.
"I think I'll be going, too," Krillin said. "I'll try and think of another way to get off this haunted island…"
*~*~*
Goten woke up, startled. He started crying, got up from his bed, and closed the door behind him. He walked down the hall to his father's room and opened the door.
"Daddy, I had a bad dream!" Goten cried. "I dreamed that you, and Gohan, and Mommy got eaten by dinosaurs! Daddy, it was horrible! Huh? Daddy?"
Goten walked over to the bedside table and picked up a note. It said: "Dear Goten, I went after Piccolo and Yamcha because they are acting very suspiciously. They were mumbling something like 'and those stupid frilly skirts!'. Odd, huh? Anyway, I'm sorry you had a bad dream. Why don't you go see Gohan? Love, Daddy". Goten put the note down with disappointment and left the room.
(Screen switches to hall view) Goten closes the door to Goku's room behind him and walks across the hall and into Gohan's room.
"Gohan, I had a bad dream!" Goten cried. "I dreamed that you, Daddy, and Mommy got eaten by dinosaurs! Gohan, it was horrible! Huh? Gohan?"
Goten walked over to the bedside table and picked up a note. It said: "Dear Goten, Gohan went after your father because he wanted to find out what Piccolo and Yamcha were up to, also. Gohan didn't have any time to leave a note for you if he had any chance of catching up to the three. But don't worry, they'll be back soon! Krillin P.S. Maybe you won't even come in here to find this note… WHO KNOWS!". Goten sniffed.
"I FEEL SO NEGLEEEEEECTED!!!!" Goten ran from the room and into Krillin's room. "Krillin, Krillin, I had a bad dream!"
Krillin snored. Goten sighed and left the room, dragging his pillow behind him. He went into Dende's room. "Dende… I had a bad dream!" Goten started shaking him. "Dende!"
Dende didn't even stir. Goten looked at the bedside table to see a case of 'Sleeping Pills'. Goten read it out loud: "Sleeping… Pills! Oh, man!"
Goten walked out into the hall, went to knock on Supreme Kai's door, then stopped. He shook his head: "NAH!"
Goten rushed to a figure: "Mr. Frieza, I had bad drea-eam!" Frieza gasped and disappeared. Goten started crying as he held the pillow in his right hand. Bulma came walking down the hall.
"Goten, what's the matter?"
"Bulma, I had bad dream!" Goten said through tears. "Can I sleep with you?"
"Sure," Bulma said. "Of course, kid!"
"NO YOU CANNOT!" Vegeta suddenly yelled. He had arrived in the hall. "Why is everyone flirting with MY wife!? Even the CHILDREN are getting ideas!!!!"
"For goodness sake, Vegeta!" Bulma shouted. "He's just a child!"
"EXACTLY!" Vegeta yelled. "They SEEM so innocent! But deep down-"
"FOOOOOOOORGEEEEEEEEEET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goten suddenly screamed. The two turned to look at him. "I will just go to Supreme KAI'S room!"
Goten stormed into Supreme Kai's room and slammed the door behind him. Supreme Kai sat up straight and turned on the lamp that sat on his bedside table. "Goten, whatever is the matter?"
"Supreme Kai, I had a bad dream." Goten said. He sniffed.
"Oh, come here," Kai patted the bed and Goten jumped up beside him. "Tell me all about it."
"Well, Supreme Kai-"
"Please, call me Kai," Supreme Kai said.
"Okay, Kai," Goten nodded. "I had a dream that Daddy, Gohan, and Mommy got eaten by a dinosaur! And there was nothing I could do because all of my powers had been taken away!"
"I see," Supreme Kai nodded. "Alright, Goten, why don't you give me all of the details?"
A while later after Goten has told Supreme Kai all about his dream…
"And that's when I woke up," Goten said. "It was really scary…"
"I'm sure it was," Supreme Kai said. "And especially for someone of your age. Now, Goten, I believe that your powers leaving you represents the haunted island on which we are residing now. You believe that you can't do a thing to help us get off of it. The dinosaur represents Frieza, and you are scared that he will take away everyone that means something to you. In essence: Gohan, your father, and mother."
"Wow, Kai, you're really good at this…" Goten said, his mouth slightly open in awe. Supreme Kai nodded.
"Right, now why don't you get some sleep?" Supreme Kai asked.
"Okay," Goten nodded and left for the door, dragging his pillow. He put his hand on the doorknob and stopped. "Supreme Kai, can I sleep with you in case it happens again?"
Supreme Kai smiled. "Sure." Goten grinned and jumped back on the bed, putting his pillow down. He laid down and pulled up the covers. "All tucked in?"
"Yeah." Goten nodded.
"Okay, lights OUT." Supreme Kai turned off the light.
"Supreme Kai?"
"Yes, Goten?"
"Thanks."
"Anytime."
*~*~*
Trunks woke up, gasping for air. He turned over to look for Goten. "Goten!" He went to shake the lump in the bed, but found that it was just air. Trunks screamed in horror and ran from the room. "GOTEN!!!!!"
"Trunks, what's the matter?" Bulma asked.
"Mom, I had a bad dream!" Trunks exclaimed, still gasping for air. "I had a dream that Goten was gone! I couldn't find him anywhere! He was gone from the entire solar system! And then when I woke up- HE WASN'T THERE!!! Mom, Goten is GONE!!!!"
"Trunks, calm down," Bulma said. "Goten has to be around here somewhere, because I saw him a few minutes ago!"
"NO, Mom!" Trunks shook his head. "Goten is GONE! Goten's GONE forever! And I'll never hear his stomach growl EVER again! Goten, WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!?"
"I'm right here, Trunks." Trunks swung around to see Goten standing in the doorway, rubbing his eyes.
"GOOOOOOOOTEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!" Trunks grabbed onto his best friend's legs. He started crying. "Goten, I thought you were gone! I had a bad dream that I couldn't find you! And when I woke up-"
"I was in Supreme Kai's room," Goten said. "I had a bad dream, too."
"What's all the screaming about?" Krillin arrived and turned on the light. Supreme Kai arrived, yawning. Then Vegeta arrived, carrying a stuffed, pink bunny. He looked down at the rabbit, then threw it down the hall, back into his room.
"These two just had a bad dream, that's all," Bulma said. "Nobody's getting killed, or anything."
"Goten, I thought we sorted out your problem," Supreme Kai said. "Did you have another dream?"
"No, but I heard Trunks screaming my name," Goten said. "I came out here to see what he wanted."
"You're alive!" Trunks was still crying as he held onto Goten's legs. "I can't believe you're alive!!!"
"Alright, it's been quite a night," Bulma said. "Let's all go back to our own rooms and get some sleep. Come on, get going."
She shooed everyone out of the living room and turned off the lights.
Somewhere out in the middle of the jungle……
"Man, stupid bugs…" Goku swatted another mosquito. Then he ran into something. "OW!!! Gohan!?"
"Dad? Is that you?" Gohan asked.
"Why did you follow me!?" Goku asked. "Didn't Krillin tell you!?"
"Tell me what?" Gohan asked.
"Never mind," Goku said. "Hey, they're stopping!"
"This looks like a good place." Piccolo said.
"Right," Yamcha put down the stool and put a game board down on top of it. "Shall I go first or you?"
"I'll go!" Yamcha picked up a few figurines. "Man, how come there has to be four?"
"I normally just pick out whichever woman I like best." Piccolo said, crossing his arms.
"Thanks, Piccolo!" Yamcha dropped the four cardboard sticks and picked out four more. "I pick this one!"
Yamcha dropped the other three and Piccolo looked at them. "Oh, man, you got the good one!"
"Nyah-nyah!" Yamcha spit out his tongue.
"Alright, I pick this one," Piccolo picked one up and put it somewhere on the board, next to Yamcha's. He picked up another cardboard stick from the box. (A/n: Any of you that have ever seen or played Barbie Dream Date know what I am describing here…) "So I guess I'm this ugly human?"
"You bet," Yamcha said. He picked up a cardboard stick. "Look at me? Aren't I so cute?"
Piccolo and Yamcha laughed. "What do you think they're doing?" Gohan asked.
"I don't know," Goku said. "But I'm not leaving until I found out!"
"Right." Gohan nodded.
"Okay, Yamcha spin." Piccolo said. Yamcha spun two spinners and they waited.
"Yeah, I got two! That means I get a candy!" Yamcha exclaimed. He took a card. He held it up. "Look, I got ugly, frosted jelly beans!"
Piccolo snickered and spun the spinner. "Six. That means I get a perfume…. I got Heart of Gold…" Yamcha cracked up laughing. "Shut up, Yamcha! It makes me smell all gold inside!"
"All right, my turn," Yamcha spun the spinners. "I got the clock, therefore it's now one o clock…" Yamcha turned something on the game board. "And I got three. Darn. Don't get nothin."
"Ha!" Piccolo exclaimed. "Loser!"
"At least I don't smell all gold inside." Yamcha said. Piccolo muttered something and spun the spinners.
"I got four and the clock," Piccolo said. "It's two(o clock), and I get a flower! Ooh, look, a yellow carnation!"
"Does that make you smell all yellow inside?" Yamcha asked. "I got one and the clock(three o clock). This game will be over PRETTY soon, something tells me. Look, I got a perfume and it's called 'Night Star'. Ooh, I got my favorite!"
"What on EARTH are they doing?" Gohan asked.
"Sh!" Goku whispered. "Piccolo's spinning that spinny thing!"
"The spinner?"
"Yeah!"
"Hey, I got five! Flowers!" Piccolo exclaimed.
"But you can't get more than one, Piccolo!"
"Oh, that's right." Piccolo looked disappointed.
"Well… Since it's just the two of us, we can both get two," Yamcha said, giving in to Piccolo's pathetic expression.
"Yay!" Piccolo chose a card. "A rose!"
"Four!" Yamcha had already spun. "I got irises! How pretty…"
"Three… and the clock (Four o clock). I got candy! Finally! …Gumdrops. I HATE gumdrops!" Yamcha snickered.
Near the end of Piccolo and Yamcha's mysterious board game…
"My turn," Piccolo said. "Oh look, I got two. I get to go horseback-riding!" Then it was Yamcha's turn.
"Five! Ice cream parlor, here I come!" Piccolo spun again.
"Four and THE CLOCK! Oh no! Time's up! But first I get to go on a dinner date!"
"Really? With who?" Yamcha asked.
"BARBIE, stupid!" In the bushes behind them, Gohan and his father gasped and looked at each other in horror.
"It's worse than I thought," Goku whispered.
"Yeah… Imagine, Piccolo and Yamcha dating BARBIE."
"No, they're PLAYING Barbie!" Goku hissed in exasperation.
"PLAYING Barbie? But I don't see any dolls." Gohan looked at his father in confusion.
"NO! Barbie DREAM Date! Hasn't Videl ever made you play?" Gohan blinked.
"Um… no." Goku narrowed his eyes in envy.
"I hate you."
"DARN, YOU WON!" Yamcha shouted. Piccolo batted his eyelashes (A/n: …Does he even have any?).
"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful," he replied in a preppy voice.
"Or because you smell all GOLD inside?" Yamcha shot back. In the bushes, Goku and Gohan snickered. Yamcha went stiff. "Did you hear something?"
"…No." Piccolo crossed his arms. "And I DO smell all gold inside, for YOUR INFORMATION."
Yamcha put the game away and stood up, the box under his arm. "How can you SMELL all 'gold' inside?"
"Just SHUT up and let's get back to the house," Piccolo said. "We need to get some sleep before morning."
Yamcha nodded. "Right!" The two walked off and few moments later, Goku jumped out of the bushes.
"Man, Barbie DREAM Date!" Goku exclaimed. Gohan crawled out of the bushes, and stood up next to father.
"Well, if it has anything to do with Barbies, I DEFINITELY don't want anything to do with it," Gohan crossed his arms. Long silence. You can hear crickets chirping. "I said something stupid again, didn't I?"
"Yeeeah." Goku nodded, then stretched his arms out. "Let's go back home and get to bed."
"Okay." Gohan and Goku flew off towards the house.
*~*~*
"Daddy!" Goten jumped on his father's stomach. Goku had been lying on the couch, sleeping. He looked around to see who had woken him.
"Oh, hey, Goten!" Goku greeted his son.
"Daddy, I had bad dream last night." Goten said.
"Yeah, I know," Goku said. "Sorry I wasn't there…"
"It's okay," Goten said. "Because Supreme Kai helped me sort it out! And then he let me sleep in his room!"
"Really?" Goku asked.
"Yep!" Goten nodded with a smile. "Hey, wait a second, how did you know I had a bad dream when you wrote me the note?"
"Well, I knew you hadn't had the dream YET," Goku said. "But I knew you were going to have it. I'm your father, I just know these kind of things."
"Okay…" Goten looked a little puzzled. "I guess I'll know when I become a Dad, TOO, huh!?"
"Yeah, guess so…" Goku was staring off into space, imagining Goten as a father.
"Dad? Daddy?" Goten waved his hand in front of his father's face. "Daddy, what's wrong?"
"Huh? Oh! Nothing!" Goku looked over at Bulma and mouthed: 'Him? A father?'. Bulma shrugged.
"Hey, I never thought you'd be one!" Bulma walked off into the kitchen.
"Hey, Daddy, where's Gohan?" Goten asked.
"Gohan? Um…" Goku thought for a minute. "I think he's still asleep."
"Okay!" Goten jumped up and ran off down the hall.
"Goten, don't wake him!" Goku heard a door open and close. He heard the door open again.
"Hey, Trunks, I want you to see something really funny!" Goten called. The sound of feet running across the hall rang through Goku's ears, then a door closed. Goku looked at Bulma with a funny smile.
"Heh, kids…"
*~*~*
"Do you think we should wake him?" Trunks asked. They were sitting cross-legged on Gohan's bed.
"I dunno…" Gohan was mumbling something like: 'Videl, I love you, too'. Goten spotted something. "Huh?"
"What is it Goten?" Trunks looked over to see a stuffed animal that resembled Videl. (A/n: A VIDEL PLUSHY!!!! I almost ALWAYS have a plushy in my fics… ^_^) Gohan started drooling on it. "Ew…"
"Well we can't let it get dirty," Goten said, getting on his knees and hands. "Gohan would get mad if he found drool on it."
He took the Videl plushy's arm in his hand and gently started pulling. Gohan immediately woke up: "NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!!!"
"But it's cute!" Goten exclaimed. "And you were drooling on it!"
"I don't care if you think it's cute!" Gohan yelled. "It's my cute stuffed animal, and you can't have it!"
"But I wanna sleep with it!" Goten yelled.
"NO, Goten, you can't sleep with it!!!!" Gohan pulled harder, tugging the plushy closer to him.
"But it looks so soft and cuddly!" Goten yelled, pulling harder, and pulling it closer towards him.
"But it's mine!" Gohan yelled.
"But I want it!" Goten yelled back. Trunks watched them tug back and forth. (A/n: Durable plush, ne?)
"GIVE IT TO ME!!!!" Gohan yelled. The two brothers went Super Saiyan and pulled harder. Suddenly, the plush's arms ripped off. (A/n: Maaaybe not.) Gohan, Trunks, and Goten stared at it. Gohan burst into tears. "DAAAAAAD!!!!!"
Gohan ran from the room. "DAD, GOTEN BROKE MY VIDEL PLUSHY!!!!"
"Oh, man, Goten!" Trunks said. "Look what you've done! Not that I blame you, it is all cute and cuddly looking…"
"Oh, man!" Goten started pulling on his hair and he started jumping around on the bed. "I'm gonna be in trouble!!!!"
"Speaking of trouble," Trunks said. "I'm going to be in it, too, if I stick around here TOO much longer!"
Trunks ran from the room and Goten grabbed the plushy. He ran into the living room where Gohan was trying to tell his father exactly what happened. "DAD, GOTEN BROKE MY VIDEL PLUSHY!"
"But I can fix it!" Goten exclaimed, jumping on the couch cushion next to his father. He held up the Videl plushy and continued jumping. "See? I can fix it! I can put its arms back on!"
"Dad, Goten started pulling on it, and I told him he couldn't have it-"
"I CAN FIX IT, I CAN FIX IT!"
"-but he kept on pulling-"
"I can put its arms back on!"
"-and then he said he wanted to sleep with it!" Gohan yelled. "Now that was just TOO far! NO way was I gonna let him sleep with my plushy! NOBODY can sleep with it but me!"
"Daddy, I can fix it, I can FIX it!" The two continued yelling, interrupting each other, until you could even tell what they were saying. Finally Goku stopped them:
"ENOUGH!!!!" Goten and Gohan quit yelling, and Goten landed on the couch. Goku took the plushy from Goten (along with it's arms), and looked it over. "Hey, it IS kinda cute!"
"Dad…" Gohan said through clenched teeth, his fists clasped.
"Right, right. Heh. Bulma?"
"Uh huh?"
"Could you possibly fix this stuffed Videl?" Goku asked, holding it up. Bulma took it from him, and looked it up and down.
"Hm…"
*~*~*
"THERE!" Bulma held the doll up. "Good as new!"
"Alright! Thanks, Bulma!" Gohan marveled at his Videl plushy.
"Hey, Bulma, I want one too!" Goten exclaimed from below the counter.
"You want one?" Bulma asked. "Well, let's see, what do you want a plushy of?"
"Hm… a girl!" Goten exclaimed.
"A girl, huh…?" Bulma smiled.
"Yeah…" Goten nodded.
"Okay, what should she look like?" Bulma asked.
"Just make her pretty." Goten said.
"Make her pretty, huh? Well, I'll try!"
"Thanks, Bulma!" Goten ran off and jumped over the back of the couch. "Gohan, I'm sorry about your Videl plushy…"
"That's okay," Gohan ruffled his little brother's hair. "Just don't do it again!"
"Okay!" Goten nodded. "Hey, Daddy, Bulma's making me a plushy, too!"
"It's not of Videl is it?" Gohan asked warily.
"No."
"Because I'll have to take it if it is."
"No, but it's gonna be a girl." Goten said.
"Well, congratulations, it'll be a girl…" Goku shook Goten's hand, then yawned and started mumbling: "Gonna be a girl…" He fell asleep and started snoring quietly.
"What's wrong with Dad?" Goten asked, blinking.
"Maybe he's just real tired," Gohan said. "We should just leave him alone."
"Okay!" Goten nodded and jumped over the back of the couch.
*~*~*
Yamcha yawned and walked into the kitchen. "Hey, Bulma, what're you doing?"
"I'm making Goten a stuffed animal," Bulma said. Then she added: "Actually, I'm making him a stuffed girl."
"Really? Sounds like fun…" Yamcha walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. "Hi, Goku."
Goku snored in response. Piccolo came into the kitchen singing/mumbling: "Barbie dot com. First ask Dad or Mom…" He noticed Bulma. "I have that STUPID commercial song stuck in my head! I couldn't find the mute button in the dark!"
"You know, that happened to me once," Bulma said. "I was watching my favorite soap Opera 'The Kissy Kissy Love Show'(A/n: Name donated by my sister.), when-"
"That's VERY nice, Bulma," Yamcha interrupted. "I'm sure we'd all LOVE to hear it over lunch."
"Okay!" Bulma went back to her task. Goku groaned and rolled over:
"Ugly, frosted jelly beans…" he said drunkenly.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Yamcha and Piccolo screamed.
"Goku would you like some?" Bulma asked. "I have some right here!"
"I smell all gold inside…!" Goku muttered in his sleep with a goofy grin on his face.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Yamcha and Piccolo covered Goku's head with a pillow.
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TWO DOING!!!!?" Bulma ran over to them and ripped the pillow from Goku's face. "You could suffocate him! And the poor thing wouldn't ever know…"
"I didn't see him!" Yamcha covered.
"She's right," Piccolo said. "The only thing that can wake that boy is food."
"So we're safe for now, right?" Yamcha asked in a hushed tone.
"Don't worry," Piccolo said. "Ol' Goku is dense as a brick. He'll totally forget about it when he wakes up."
"Great!" Yamcha exclaimed. "Now all we have to do is get rid of the kids…"
"So, um, Bulma, where are the munchkins?" Piccolo asked.
"They went swimming." Bulma said, walking back to the counter and sitting down on her stool. She began to work on Goten's stuffed girl again.
"UNSUPERVISED!?" Piccolo asked.
"This is perfect!" Yamcha whispered, rubbing his hands together.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS!!!!?" Piccolo asked Yamcha. Yamcha slapped him. "Sorry…"
"Of course not, silly!" Bulma exclaimed. "Vegeta's out there. But of course I don't trust HIM, so I have Supreme Kai and Dende out there, too. Krillin is swimming with them."
"And what about Gohan?" Piccolo asked. Then he whispered to Yamcha: "I can't kill his brother in FRONT of him!"
"Shut up, Piccolo!" Yamcha whispered back crossly.
"Oh! Gohan!" Bulma thought for a moment. "I REALLY don't know where he is."
"Um, Bulma?" Yamcha started twiddling his fingers. "If we were to- I mean, if somebody were to try and kill the boys, would you know?"
"Of course!" Bulma said, not taking her eyes up from Goten's plushy. "I can see them right here!" Bulma tapped the small TV that was sitting next to her on the counter. "So if anybody tries to kill ANYBODY I'll get Goku out there. Unless, of course, they're killing Vegeta."
"Right, of course…." Yamcha trailed off. He turned to Piccolo: "Darn, can't kill 'em now!"
"Yamcha?"
"What?" Yamcha turned around warily. Had he spoken too loud? Had Bulma heard him?
"Do you think Trunks will want a plushy, too?" Bulma inquired.
"Um…"
"Trunks is a big boy," Piccolo said. "He has better things to do than to play with dolls!"
"But just last week I caught him with Vegeta's stuffed rabbit," Bulma said. "You know, the stuffed pink one?"
"Oh…then…" Yamcha looked at Piccolo.
"I'll go ask him!" Piccolo ran from the room and Bulma looked at the TV screen intently. Yamcha caught what Piccolo was attempting to do. He was gonna try and kill the kids! Right in front of the others!
"Uh, I'd better go make sure he doesn't fall in!" YAmcha ran after Piccolo.
"Trunks, your mother wants to know if-"
"You NUMB nuts!" Yamcha pushed Piccolo into the pool. Piccolo surfaced.
"What!!!? I was just asking Trunks a question!"
"Whatever," Yamcha turned to Trunks. "Trunks, your mother wants to know if you would like a new stuffed animal. Preferably a plushy like Goten's?"
"That was the same question he was asking…" Trunks said. "You two are acting weird…!"
"Please, just answer the question," Yamcha said. "Please, please, please…"
"Well, I don't know," Trunks said looking behind him at Goten. "I haven't seen Goten's."
"It's gonna be cute!" Yamcha exclaimed. "And pretty and cuddly and soft!"
"Like my Dad's rabbit?" Trunks asked. Vegeta pulled his pink rabbit closer to him on his lounge chair.
"Yeah!" Yamcha nodded. "Except it's gonna be a girl, and it won't be pink."
"Okay," Trunks nodded. "Just tell Mom it can't have pink hair!" Trunks looked at his father. "That's for sissies…"
"Okay!" Yamcha ran back inside and into the kitchen.
So, tell me, did you like this chapter as much as the first? Courtney(my sis) likes my dream analysis. All of my friends keep telling me I'd be a good Psychiatrist(especially Jill)... -_-' Not that there's anything WRONG with it... Well! Tell me what you thought!
