Disclaimer: Who cares? Why do I bother?
Author's Note: Due to circumstances beyond our control, Dragontwin and Kat were in Colorado last week and could not update…in fact, we got home last night and the first thing we did was update. Well, next week we'll be gone as well so we're hoping to get "Promises" done before we have to leave. We apologize for any lack of quality you might experience due to the speed at which this has to be written in order for it to be completed on time.
Thanx to the following people for reviewing chapters eight and nine. Your support is appreciated.
Lady Nightshade
Nofretete: Thank you very much! I'm kind of excited about this chapter too…you'll see why
Mycky Wynora Channy: Is this a fast enough update? LOL. Man…I love your name…
Chibi_Chichan: I'm keeping my promise to update soon…see? I'm being a good girl ^_^
*Dream*: I promise I will try to make these chapters longer…
Shinou: Ah, my inspiration to keep writing this junk! Glad you liked it!
Julia Tran: That totally sux, you know, not being able to get on…but I hope you like these next chapters and don't feel guilty if you miss it, it's not that good anyway
Kei: Don't we all wish we could bring back our grandparents? If only… I'm going to stop now before I get emotional…
Elvenking: Of course it's still up!
Ren-chan: Thanx again.
Polka Dot: I hope that this doesn't get too confusing…honestly I really am trying to keep it at a reasonable level.
Senaca: Thank you very much. I don't know about them being beautifully done, but hopefully they were entertaining enough.
Mae: Vegeta is always amusing to me…I donno why. I do tend to write him off as a total jerk though…I'm working on that.
ANNOUNCEMENT! ANNOUNCEMENT!
Kat: You think I'm loud…geez.
Dragontwin: I wanted to make sure they heard me…
Kat: They heard you alright, all the way on the other side of the network.
Dragontwin: Don't you think we should tell them what the announcement is?
Kat: Most definitely. And I think we should bring in our favorite guest author to tell them.
Chi: Okay, I'll do it. I know the reason you're doing this though, and my limit is three tomatoes thrown at me.
Dragontwin and Kat would like to announce the fact that after they have released the completed version of "Promises" they have no idea what they are going to do next. So, we are asking your help. We have a few ideas on what to do next and we'd like your vote.
A cute little story on the life of Son Goten. The story of his life from birth to end.
Another Gohan and Videl fanfic…
Trunks and Pan fic companion to Confessions
Vegeta and Bulma fic NOT angst- possibly a cute little fic on how they both felt about the birth of a certain purple haired Saiyan.
Let us know!
ON WITH THE INSANITY!
Promises Chapter 10 Dragontwin/Kat
Vegeta himself was saved from being hit by the doorbell ringing.
"I'll get it woman!" Goku smirked and laughed at the image of Vegeta running down the hallway to avoid being smacked by Bulma. Chichi fit herself into the crook of Goku's arm and closed her eyes. These journeys between worlds always tired her. Goku frowned and began to stroke her hair reassuringly.
"What's wrong Grandma, Grandpa?" Shinou was concerned. Goku kissed the top of Chichi's head protectively and sighed.
"She doesn't take the jump from Other World to this world very well. She'll be all right in a couple of minutes."
"No, no. I'm fine now," Chichi declared stubbornly. Goku shook his head. He knew better, but he wasn't going to say anything. He was just going to watch her very carefully.
"HEY EVERYONE!" The entire room of people turned to face a miniature Goku that wasn't so miniature anymore. Still shorter than Goku, Goten still looked exactly the same and had taken to wearing his hair the way his father had. "Wow. Mom and Dad in the same room. This is different."
Everyone in the room got a good laugh out of that, and Chichi and Goku exchanged rueful grins. Goten and Bra gave hugs to everyone, and Tombra made her presence known by jumping on her Grandma Bulma and giving her a big kiss.
"Where's Shinou?" Six year old Tombra was more interested in tormenting her younger cousin than meeting a grandparent she had never known.
"I'm right here Tombra," her name escaped Shinou's mouth like a naughty word she wasn't supposed to say.
"Can't we all just get along for Shinou's birthday Tombra honey?" Goten's voice sounded tired, like he was out of patience.
"I guess so. But only if she leaves me alone," Tombra agreed.
"I'll try to as long as SHE leaves ME alone," Shinou countered. Pan, Trunks, Goten and Bra all exchanged glances.
"Well all right. As long as you both try not to get in a fight," Goten said, exasperated. Obviously this was old to everyone.
"Why don't you come this way and I'll crack open the wine bottle?" Pan suggested.
"I'm going to need it," Trunks mumbled under his breath.
**A little later, after everyone has had cake and opened up presents. Adults are in living room, Tombra and Shinou are in kitchen and Gogeta has flown off to get some milk for his mother.**
"Let go of it, Shinou!" All four demi-Saiyans let out unison sighs as soon as they heard Tombra's frantic yell.
"It's MINE, Tombra!"
"We had better go stop the fight, Kakkarott," Vegeta snarled. "I don't want the house in shambles like it was the last time." Goku and Vegeta took off at a dead run towards the kitchen, but when they got there, it was too late.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" Goku bellowed in his most annoyed tone of voice. Even Vegeta was amazed to see the normally good tempered Saiyan so angry. He had reason to be, though. The Capsule Corporation kitchen was in pieces, and in the center of the room was one lone, smoking Barbie doll.
"She tried to take my Barbie doll," Shinou started out.
"No, she wouldn't let me play with it," Tombra cut off. They were facing each other, panting and ready to punch one another if one wrong word was said.
"Goten, Trunks. Come with me. Vegeta, I trust you can explain to these two young ladies that what they did was wrong, but it's kind of hard to control your power when you've never been trained to, huh Trunks and Goten?" His eyes flashed angrily and Chichi, despite being tired beyond belief walked over to where he was and kissed his shoulder gently.
"Be easy on them Goku. You forgot to tell them about this particular aspect of Saiyan life when they were small. You just trained them." Goku looked down at her and could steady his breathing.
"Now. Come with me." They walked out the back door and onto the lawn, where no one except Vegeta, with his exceptional hearing could understand them. "TWO untrained demi-Saiyans running around? What were you thinking? There was a REASON why you were trained so young! They could throw a temper tantrum and whole cities could be destroyed. Have you completely lost your minds?"
Goten and Trunks hadn't felt like they were in this much trouble since they had been seven and eight years old.
"I guess we should have taught them to control themselves…" Goten stammered.
"Pan and I never thought of that…" Trunks mumbled.
"Hmm. Well, you had better teach them soon." With that, the lecture was over.
A/N: Next chapter: Goku and Chichi go back to Other World. Questions answered and Sylvia gets trained. The only thing is: Why is Chichi so tired? Find out tomorrow!
