Chapter Six: To the Beach!
"It's so quiet…" Gohan said as he walked into the kitchen to pour himself some milk. Videl walked into the room and froze as she saw Gohan.
"Gohan, you have to remember that other people are living here!" Gohan looked down at his boxers and blushed. "Why is it so quiet? I don't like it…"
"I don't know…" Gohan said. "The squirt and his friend should be up and running around."
"Maybe they're taking a bath?" Videl offered.
"Maybe… you can go check if you like, I'm gonna go change."
"What do you mean 'change'?" Videl asked. "You just need to get dressed!"
"Whatever!" Gohan ran out of the room and Videl left to check the bathroom.
When Gohan finally came out of his room, fully dressed, he heard a noise come from Goten and Trunks' room. He quietly opened the door and looked around. The shades were pulled, so it was dark. Gohan walked over to the bed and noticed two lumps in what little light there was. Gohan giggled and pulled the covers down to see two young Saiyans. They shivered and pulled the covers back up.
"Huh?" Gohan smiled and started shaking his little brother. "Goten! Goten, come on, wake up!"
"…" No response. Gohan frowned, then grinned. Gohan went Super Saiyan, and the two boys groaned.
"Goten, turn off the night light…!" Trunks whined.
"Okay…" Gohan giggled.
"GOHAN!"
"AH!" Gohan turned around to see Videl standing in the hall, glaring at him. "What???"
"You leave those boys alone!" Videl ordered. "They're OBVIOUSLY tired!"
"But…" Videl gasped.
"Gohan! Look out!" The next thing he knew, Gohan was got a Ki blast in the face. Gohan fell to the ground from the impact, making a loud thud.
"Huh…?" Trunks sat up and saw that Goten had an outstretched hand. Trunks shrugged and laid down. Goten dropped the bat, and it hit Gohan's head.
"Ow!" Gohan was clutching his head.
"Gohan! Gohan, are you okay!?" Videl asked.
"Ow, it HURTS!" Gohan exclaimed.
Goku yawned as he walked down the hall. Videl came walking out of Goten and Trunks' room, followed by Gohan, who was holding his head. "Gohan, what's wrong?"
"YOUR son Ki blasted me!" Gohan whined.
"What did you DO!!!!?" Goku yelled and ran into Goten and Trunks room. (A/n: EVERYBODY knows that if Goten hit Gohan with a Ki, then Gohan must of done SOMETHING to Goten)
"Mm……." Gohan sniffed and walked into the living room. Videl got an ice pack and filled it with ice. She screw the top back on and handed it to Gohan.
"I don't get it…" Goku said, scratching his head as he walked into the kitchen. "Why is Goten so tired…?" Goku walked over to the couch. "Let me see."
Gohan removed the ice pack from his forehead. There was a big lump. "Ohhhh! It'll be okay!" Goku kissed Gohan's forehead and Gohan blushed.
"Da-ad!"
"Oh, sorry! I forgot! You aren't Goten!" Goku laughed.
"Gr…" Gohan growled and Videl giggled.
"Daddy?"
"What is it Goten?" Goku looked at his youngest son, who was standing there in his pajamas, holding his pillow.
"Will you read me a bedtime story?" Goten asked. "I can't get to sleep…"
Goten collapsed and started sleeping- right there on the kitchen floor! Goku walked over to Goten and picked him up. "I'll be right back."
Videl and Gohan nodded as Goku left the room with 'his son'. Bulma came walking out of the hall followed by Vegeta. "Guess what? We're going to the beach!"
*~*~*
"The beach! I'm so excited!" Videl exclaimed.
"Uh huh!" Eighteen nodded.
"I'm gonna work on getting a tan." Bulma said.
"That's sounds nice…" Chi-Chi said.
"Yep! Well, we're going to have a lovely, quiet day at the….beach….." Gohan blinked.
"What is it Gohan- AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goku screamed. All of the fan girls were peering inside the barrier. One of the Vegeta fan girls (No. 1), looked up, then pushed a Goku fan girl into the barrier, causing her to combust. The Vegeta fan girl started laughing her head off. "…I hope ALL of them touch the barrier, because you can't regenerate outside the barrier."
"Ye-ah…" Gohan nodded.
"FRIEZAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta yelled.
"Yes?" Frieza appeared.
"We have a problem." Vegeta pointed at the fan girls.
"Oh, yes, that IS a problem." Frieza said.
"Can you make us a beach they can't get to?" Bulma asked.
"Of course I can!" Frieza snapped his fingers and they were all teleported to the very middle of the island. In fact, it so VERY middleish, that you couldn't get much more in-the-middle than that! "Just moves some treeeeees……" A few hundred trees disappeared.
"Hey, I can see the house from here!" Gohan exclaimed from above.
"Well, duh." Videl said.
"And viola!" Frieza exclaimed. There was a big pool of water. "We have a beach!"
"Cool!" Chi-Chi exclaimed.
"It's even got waves!" Piccolo pointed out.
"I'M GONNA BE THE FIRST ONE TO BREAK THE WAVES!!!!!!!!" Yamcha exclaimed, rushing into the water with his surfboard. His surfboard was yellow, and in the middle (on both sides) was a ring for a bubble with Puar drawn inside it. (A/n: ohhhhhhhh!)
"Nuh uh-uh!" Piccolo ran in after him, carrying his green surfboard. His surfboard had the dragon balls from Namek on it.
"Trunks, honey, don't eat the sand." Bulma said as she started sun-bathing. Trunks was sleeping, face in the sand.
"Hey, Goten, you wanna play in the water?" Goku asked, holding his son up, Goten's feet in the water. Goten's mouth became a squiggly line as Goku let go of him. Goten stood for a second, then fell over face-first. (Goku: O_O) "HE'S GONNA DROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Goku quickly picked Goten back up and carried him to safety. "Hey, Videl, wanna make a sandcastle?"
"Um… okay!"
"Frieza, there are no shells." Krillin observed.
"Sorry…" Frieza said. He snapped his fingers and shells appeared. Marron giggled and picked one up.
"Thanks, Frieza!"
"Uh huh!" Frieza nodded. "Anything else?"
"No, Mr. Frieza!" Marron exclaimed.
"SHE SPOKE AGAIN!!!!!!!!" Eighteen exclaimed.
"Uh huh." Frieza nodded and disappeared.
"Hey, look, a crab!" Piccolo exclaimed, pointing to the crab on his surfboard. The crab grabbed Piccolo's pointing finger and pinched it. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"
*~*~*
"Um… Bulma?"
"Yes?" Bulma looked at her husband.
"Um…" Vegeta stuttered. "Would you…. like to… take a romantic walk around the beach…?" Vegeta blushed and Bulma smiled.
"Sure, the sun is going down, anyway!" Bulma stood up. So the two took off to go walk around the REAL beach.
"Hey…" Gohan said. "Is this beach a little bigger, or is it just me?"
"Nah, it's just you." Goku said. "Because if you look at it this way, then you can tell that it was exactly five hundred yards from that tree over there, and it still is. And THAT tree! Well, we were three-"
"OKAY, DAD, I GET THE PICTURE!!!!!!" Gohan yelled.
"Well you asked…" Goku said.
"Let's go surfing." Gohan said.
"Okay!" Goku grabbed his red orange surfboard up, which had "SUPER SAIYAN" written in fat, chunky, yellow letters on both sides of his board, the top and the bottom. "SUPER" was underlined three times. Gohan looked at some of the surf boards.
"Let's see…" There was a small, bright orange surfboard that said "Demi-Saiyan" in navy blue letters, a teal one that said: "My Dad is a Druggie" in lavender letters, a black surfboard that said (A/n: everybody say it now!) "Saiyan Prince" in bright blue letters, a navy blue surfboard that said "FIGHT!" in orange letters, and then he looked at his. It was green with black lettering. The black letters read: "SAIYAMAN". Gohan grinned and pulled it out of the sand. "LET'S RIDE SOME WAVES!!!!!!!!!"
*~*~*
"How is he doing?" Goku asked.
"He's doing fine, Goku," Chi-Chi said. "Just go surf some more with your son."
"Okay!" Goku ran back into the water. "Hey, guys, wait for me!"
"Hm…" Chi-Chi looked at the two boys sleeping in her arms. Trunks started snoring and Chi-Chi laughed. "Just like Vegeta!"
"Hey, guys, are you ready for supper?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah!" All of the men started swimming back on their surfboards.
"How about you two?" Bulma asked. "Trunks, Goten, we're gonna be eating supper!" The two continued sleeping.
"Hm… what's wrong with them?" Videl asked.
"I've never seen them sleep so much." Eighteen admitted.
"I know!" Chi-Chi agreed and Bulma frowned.
"They're so worn out from yesterday," Bulma said. "Because of all that cake Vegeta fed them."
"Oh…" The women went back to silence.
"I've never even seen Marron sleep so much," Eighteen said. "Well… at least not all at one time!"
"Yeah." Videl nodded.
"Hey, guys, what's up?" Yamcha asked.
"Why so hush hush?" Piccolo asked. (A/n: who was it that I first heard use that phrase…?)
"Are they still asleep?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah."
"Hey, Goten, come get some orange juice!" Gohan exclaimed. "Huh?"
"WHOA!" Krillin yelled. "They must be really tired!"
"Well, as they say, children need their sleep," Bulma said. She sighed. "So shall we eat supper?"
"YEAH!" Vegeta punched his fist in the air.
"You've worked up quite an appetite," Goku said, smiling. "Normally it's me doing that." Vegeta blushed.
"Hey, is there any more fried chicken?" Vegeta asked.
"Yeah, but…" Videl said, holding up the bucket.
"Thanks!" Vegeta took the bucket from her.
"You're scaring me." Videl said.
"Vegeta, quit scaring my girlfriend!" Gohan yelled.
"HAHAHA! One point! I scared Kakarott's brat's girlfriend!" Vegeta grinned.
"Hey, you guys leave some for Goten and Trunks!" Bulma ordered.
"……some." Vegeta handed Bulma a drumstick.
"Vegeta!" Bulma yelled.
"That's awfully inconsiderate of you, Vegeta," Chi-Chi said. "Wait a second, do I realize who I am talking to?"
"Hey, Gohan, pass me the tater-tots." Goku said.
"Sure, Dad." Gohan passed his father the tator-tots. (A/n: you know! those little hash brown type french-fries!) Goten and Trunks' nostrils flared.
"Hey…" Chi-Chi looked down at them. Bulma smiled.
"I think the sleeping spell is wearing o-off…!"
"Goku, give me those." Chi-Chi said.
"But I'm gonna eat 'em!" Goku whined.
"Just give them to me!" Goku pouted and handed the basket full of tater-tots to Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi waved the tater-tots in front of the two boys, causing their nostrils to flare again. Suddenly, they jumped up, snatched the bucket from her, and started eating them.
"I WANT SOOOOOOMEEEE!!!!!!!!" Goku whined, looking at the sky. Chi-Chi held out a handful and Goku snatched them with a smile. "Mm!"
"Hungry?" Eighteen asked with a smile.
"ONLY STARVING MY STOMACH OFF!" Trunks exclaimed at the sky.
"Where's the orange juice?" Goten asked.
"Right, here, honey." Chi-Chi handed Goten a jug of orange juice. The cute fun-loving demi-saiyan smiled and guzzled it down.
"Hey, Goten, check it out!" Trunks exclaimed. "We're at the beach!"
"Let's go surfing!" Goten exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Trunks nodded. The two grabbed their surfboards and ran off into the water laughing.
"Don't get a stomach cramp!" Bulma called. Everyone smiled.
Well it appears that our heroes are enjoying their private beach. Maybe they'll all decide to live on the island. In the next chapter, everyone leaves the island. How will Vegeta react? Will the fan girls swarm after them once they leave the safety of the barrier? Find out next time, on FHI: We're Leaving Again...
"It's so quiet…" Gohan said as he walked into the kitchen to pour himself some milk. Videl walked into the room and froze as she saw Gohan.
