CASE #6: GOTEN
Goten cluched his pillow, drooling on it while he happily licked his hand, giggled, and then licked some more.
~
Once Goten was finished with his lollipop, he waddled into the kitchen, and squeaked a few times at his mother.
Chichi turned away from the pile of dishes she was cleaning and looked down at the young bright yellow rubber ducky with Goten hair and smiled. "Oh hi, Goten. Did you want something?"
Goten squeaked again.
"But honey, you already ate ten lollipops, three bins of ice cream, and two cakes. I'm sorry, but too much dessert isn't good for my little ducky," she pinched his cheek.
Goten's orange bill formed itself into a frown and he glared at her.
"Now Goten, don't you go taking any attitude with me, young mallard!"
Goten waddled back to his room, sulking.
"What's the matter, Goten?" Gohan noticed his little brother.
Goten looked up at the green gumby sitting on the bed across from him and squeaked.
Gohan laughed. "Oh well, it's not that big a deal, bro. Don't worry about food. Why don't you go take a bubble bath? After all...that's what you were made for..."
Goten jumped up, excited by the idea, but paused and looked back to his brother with a few irritated squeaks and a glare.
"Oh yeah...I forgot you don't have hands. But it's ok. I'll draw the water FOR you..."
Goten squeaked.
"I know, I know, but I DO have thumbs," Gohan reminded him.
Goten shrugged and waddled off after his brother.
Once the water was drawn, and Gohan was out of the room, Goten had a wonderful time splashing in the bubbles and squeaking the tune of "rubber ducky, you're the one". He stopped, startled when the lights flickered off and a scream was heard. Then they came back on mysteriously. Curious, he popped out of the tub and waddled into the other room to see what had happened. What he saw broke his squeaker--literally! There, in the middle of the room was his gumby brother, with a pencil sticking out of his back!
Chichi gasped in horror at the sight and began screaming as she tried to wake her oldest child. Tear formed in Goten's eyes and fell (or were they drips from the bath water....either way...), and he waddled as fast as he could out of the house, then turned super ducky and flew over to Capsule Corp., landing in the room of his best friend.
Trunks was almost startled to see the hyperventilating duck, trying to speak to him. however, his squeaker was broken now so nothing was coming out. Obviously he was upset, because his rubber cheeks had water flooding down them. (Of course...he also had a water spout on the top of his head...)
"Goten, what is it?" he tried to discern what was wrong with his friend. "Wait, no...this isn't working. I grant you the power to speak."
Goten's eyes went: O_o "What??? You can't do that, it won't work....wait a minute... I'm talking! It worked, it worked!"
"Of COURSE it worked! When you're the son of the Prince of all Sayains, you can do anything you WANT!" Trunks crossed his paws arrogantly. "Now, WHAT is wrong?"
Goten began breathing heavily again as he stared at his best friend, the loyal golden retriever with purple hair that he was... "I was just taking a leisurely bubble bath and then the lights flickered and when I came out, Gohan was in the middle of the room with a pencil in his back! He's DEAD, Trunks!" Goten began bawling once again.
"Hey, it's ok, Goten...I'm sure we can wish him back later. Don't worry, you and I will get to the bottom of this...," Trunks paused as the lights flickered and another scream was heard.
Panicked, both children looked at each other then ran and waddled down the stairs to find Krillin laying face down on the couch with a wrench next to it. Both of them gasped.
"Wait a minute...what's Krillin doing here?" Goten asked with confusion.
Trunks shrugged, examining the body and then turning back to his friend. "I don't know, but he's certainly dead."
"At least there's no mystery..."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, he was killed in the lounge, with the wrench...oh wait...but we don't know WHO. Never mind..."
Trunks smacked him upside the head and then went super puppy. "Come on, Goten, WE'RE going to get to the bottom of this!"
"But how?" Goten asked.
"Didn't I TELL you already? When you're the son of the prince of all Sayains, you can do whatever you WANT!!!"
"Oh...," Goten didn't get it. He too went super and flew off beside his friend.
Neither of them had any idea where they were going, but then again...Goten never questioned Trunks on these things. He always seemed to know what he as doing. "When are we going to be there?"
"I don't know," Trunks answered.
"Why not?"
"Because I don't know where we're going."
"WHAT?!" Goten stopped flying. "You don't know where we're going??"
"No, but why SHOULD I? when I decide the mystery is solved, then it'll BE solved. Remember, when you're the..."
"I know, I know!" Goten interrupted.
Suddenly the moon flickered and a scream was heard.
"All right! Our next victim!" Trunks exclaimed.
"That's not a GOOD thing, Trunks," Goten flew after his friend.
"Look, it's 18," Trunks examined the woman, face down, drowned in a mud puddle.
"Hey look at this, I found a clue! Duck prints on the back of her shirt!" Trunks pointed, then looked at his friend. "Goten, is somebody in your family a murderer?"
Goten scowled. "I'm the only duck in my family, Trunks, you know that!"
Trunks shrugged. "Maybe you had a distant uncle or something... Come on, let's fly her home and examine her!" Trunks grabbed 18 around the waist and flew back to Capsule Corp with her.
"I need to use the bathroom. I'll be right back," Goten waddled out of the room. No sooner had he finished then another flicker and another scream. "Oh no...Trunks!" he was shocked to see his best friend lifeless on the floor, a single black hair on his back. He gasped.
"All right, duck, you're DEAD!" Vegeta glared, his eyes red with rage.
"What, ME?! What'd I do?" Goten backed away nervously.
"Don't play innocent you retarded child's play thing! You killed him, I SAW you!" Vegeta began chasing him.
Goten screamed and took to the air. "But there has to be a mistake! I was using the bathroom..."
"Yeah RIGHT!" Vegeta threw blasts at him, miraculously missing every time.
Goten picked up the pace. "Maybe it was someone that just looked like me!"
"Yes, I'm sure there are a MILLION rubber duckies with uncombed black hair running around the city!" Vegeta turned super so he could fly faster.
Quickly Goten darted behind his father, having reached his house.
"What's going on here?" Goku noticed the tension between Vegeta and Goten.
"Out my way, clown!" Vegeta spat.
"Hey, don't make fun on my day job...I make a lot of money doing this, you know...," Goku put one hand on his hip, glaring.
Vegeta threw a blast at Goten, but he dodged it. The thing just barely missed Goku.
"Wow! Cool it! What was THAT for?"
"That plastic bath toy killed Trunks!"
"I did NOT!" Goten argued. "No, not again!" he screeched as the sky flickered and then Goku lay dead on the ground.
Vegeta looked at the body with shock. "You killed Kakarot!"
"I DIDN'T!"
"You DID! I was standing right here!" Vegeta began chasing him again.
Goten ran into the house and straight into his mother. She was glaring at him angrily, one hand on her hip.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Goten asked nervously.
"How COULD you Goten! You were supposed tom be my little angel!"
"What? What did I do?" Goten asked with confusion.
"You killed Gohan! I just watched the security camera!"
Goten's beak dropped. "But Mom...I didn't!"
"He killed Trunks and Kakarot too!" Vegeta added.
"And 18 and Krillin," Trunks' outline appeared in the room.
"I didn't, no, I didn't! It was somebody else! It was...TRUNKS! Trunks killed them! HE'S the one that's been controlling everything from the very START!"
Trunks' outline snickered. Vegeta growled. "How could you even THINK of pinning this on a dead person!"
"It was him, I SWEAR!" Goten backed away from the advancements of Vegeta and Chichi.

"It was Trunks...I didn't do it...it was Trunks...," Goten tossed and turned in his sleep.
"Wake up, little bro," Gohan gave his brother a shove. "You're having a nightmare."
Goten sat up and gasped. He looked at Gohan, blinked and threw his arms around him. "You're alive!"
"Uh...yeah...," Gohan raised an eyebrow.
"I dreamt that Trunks killed you, only everybody thought it was me..."
"Ok...whatever. Just go back to sleep," Gohan turned over.
Goten sighed, sitting back on his own bed with a scowl. "Son of a prince...big deal...," he muttered, closing his eyes once again.

I don't own gumby, or the game, Clue.
Next up CHICHI and then MASTER ROSHI
