the next chapter!
CH 5
On December 5, there was a blizzard. On December 6, there was a war.
"Ha! You call THAT a throw? You're never gonna catch me with a wimpy toss like that!" Trunks yelled.
"Oh yeah?" Marron said, "Take one step closer and me and Goten are gonna let you have it!"
"Huh?" he asked, confused, then was knocked to the ground by a flying snow ball to the kisser. He looked over to the right to see Goten grinning.
"I got you! I got you!" he sang, dancing around. Trunks scowled.
"Goten you traitor! I'll get you for that!" Goten smirked.
"Try your best!" Trunks smirked as well.
"Let it rip guys!" he yelled. Marron and Goten stared in confusment as a huge mass of snow began to rain from above.
"AHH!" they yelled, trying to avoid it, but there was no way they could have gotten away as they were buried under what must have been two feet of snow from above. Once they dug their way out, they looked up to see Bra and Pan on the roof with one of Trunks' inventions he'd been putting together for the past week or so.
The Snowmenator was a huge pump that sucked up snow and sent it threw a large hose to bury the unlucky victim in the white powder. Bra and Pan almost fell off the roof laughing. Trunks had flown them and the Snowmenator up there to get the best shot. He fell over laughing at the look on Goten and Marron's face. They both scowled as they pulled themselves out the rest of the way.
"Trunks you big cheater! This is a snowball fight you idiot! Not a create- your-own-avalanche fight!" Trunks stood, still laughing.
"Sorry Goten, but you know what they say: All's fair in love and war." This lead to much more running around and avoiding of snowballs between him and Goten, while Pan and Bra jumped off the roof and followed Marron off to make some snow angles instead.
From far off, you could hear the laughing and playing of the chibis, but further in the woods near the Son's house, everything was dead silent. Miari crouched down lower into the shelter of the bushes, peeking through the branches for any sign of the enemy. Right above him, Goku sat in the tree, posing as lookout.
Looking down to Miari, he whispered,
"Hey, you got plenty of snowballs ready?" He nodded up to him.
"Good, because I think they're coming this way."
"Then get down here or they'll see you." Goku obliged, jumping from his perch. He and Miari held their breath, as they heard footsteps coming closer. They lowered their ki, hoping not to be noticed before they launched their ambush.
The footsteps were closer as the feet making them moved carefully through the snow, trying not to make so much noise. When they felt close enough for a good attack, Miari and Goku jumped from behind their hiding place and pelted the victims with snow.
"Ack! Hey guys knock it off! It's us!" He and Goku stopped to realize it was Eighteen and Yamcha, their own teammates.
"Opps, sorry guys," apologized Miari. He gave Goku a 'look', "I though you said it was them." Goku rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah, my mistake I guess." he grinned. Eighteen rolled her eyes.
"Well let's hurry and split up again before the others find us all together. Like this it'd be too easy for them to just get us all at once."
"Yeah," agreed Yamcha, "Especially since you two used up half your ammo on us." Miari nodded.
"You're right. This IS too easy." They all turned to see Vegeta standing on a tree above them, smirking. In his hand, he held a nice, round, tightly packed ball of frost. Yamcha crossed his arms.
"Yeah, you may be up their Vegeta, but there's only you. You can't take all of us," he said, unnoticeably backing towards Goku, Eighteen following in suit. Miari smirked at him, making sure he was close enough to Goku to grab his arm.
"Not quite," he said. From the left, out popped Gohan, ammo in hand, and on the right, Krillen also came out, followed by Videl from behind.
"Now you're surrounded," she said. "Prepare to surrender!" Miari mirrored Vegeta's smirk.
"Never!" he said, grabbing onto Goku at the same time as the others. In a flash, all four disappeared. The other stood, still looking at the place they had been. Krillen groaned.
"Oh great! We for got about that!" Vegeta growled.
"Kakkoroto!" he yelled, "That's not fair!" Videl sighed, shaking her head. Stupid boys.
A good few yards away, they reappeared and continued running away, laughed to themselves. When they reached a good place to hid near the lake, which had frozen over, they ducked down and hid, still grinning at their great escape.
"I wish I could have stayed behind just to see their faces," said Yamcha. Goku nodded in agreement.
After the excitement of their escape wore off, Eighteen said,
"We should start reloading. They'll be back looking for us soon."
"Right," agreed Miari.
"Miari, you go with Eighteen this time. Yamcha come with me." They nodded, running off in separate directions. While Goku and Yamcha headed off to the left, Miari and Eighteen headed around to the other side of the lake.
They looked around, trying to think of a place they could attack from and store the most snowballs.
This so-called war had stared about ten in the morning. At first it was just the Saiyans, but then the chibis ran off and Krillen and Eighteen showed up. After they decided to join in, Videl wanted to too. Then Yamcha came to help even up the teams. No one really knew what the point of it was, or how anyone would win. They supposed whenever the other team was completely covered with snow and surrendered. Of course with the Saiyans playing, it wasn't very likely that that would happen very soon. Despite that, everyone seemed to be taking this game very seriously.
They decided to climb up on a cave that the lake ran into when it wasn't ice.
After arming themselves well, they kept a lookout, trying to get the best view around them without being spotted themselves.
"Eighteen," he said, "You don't have a ki level."
"Yeah, and?"
"If you fly, they won't be able to sense you."
"Yeah, and?"
"Well, fly up there and be a lookout! If I go they'll all sense my ki." She nodded, rising up a little higher than the trees. "Make sure they don't see you!"
"And how am I supposed to do that genius?" Miari thought for a moment. He looked at the sky, trying to see if there was anything that might hide her without looking suspicious.
"Try to hide in the clouds," he suggested. "It's should be low enough that you'll still be able to see, and dense enough that they shouldn't see you." Eighteen looked up, seemingly debating the likeliness of that working. Figuring 'what the hell?' she rose up to hide behind the drifts of clouds.
Miari watched her go. It still felt funny being around her like this. Half the time, his mind's eye replaced her with the Eighteen of his time, but it always went away as soon as she started talking. She was just much more human. He wondered if the Eighteen he knew had gotten to know Krillen before killing him, if maybe she would have turned out like this too. They stayed in their positions for about ten minutes, until Eighteen came shooting down out of the sky to land next to him.
"They're coming this way," she said. "All of them." Miari smirked.
"Alright, get ready." They loaded up with their snowballs and crouched down, ready to spring on them.
"Alright baldy," said Vegeta scowling, "Where are they?" Krillen backed up in fear.
"Hey calm down. I said I THOUGHT I saw Eighteen over here. But she could be long gone by now." Vegeta growled.
"Great," sighed Gohan, "Now what do we do? They're not here and we don't have a clue which direction they went."
Eighteen looked over to Miari.
"Now?" she mouthed. He shook his head.
"Now hold on guys," said Videl. "For some reason, I don't think they went very far." She walked closer to the lake, stepping on it timidly. When she saw it was firm enough, she stood on it. "I think they may be hiding in there!" she said, pointing towards the cave.
Slowly, the others, grabbed some snow and followed as she crept closer to the opening of the cave. Miari pushed his ki down as far as he could, knowing at this distance it would be very easy for him to be felt.
"Now?" Eighteen mouthed again. Miari shook his head, then looked over to the forest. There, Goku and Yamcha were creeping, ready to pounce on the others unexpectedly. He nudged Eighteen and showed her. She nodded.
Goku gave them the signal that he was going to use Instant Transmission to get close. Miari nodded.
"When he does that we'll jump down to help," he half mouthed, half whispered.
Below, the other four had gotten to the mouth of the cave. They were about to enter, when Goku and Yamcha appeared behind them and began to pelt them with snow.
"Ahh!" yelled Krillen running into the shelter of the cave. The others followed. However, Yamcha and Goku ran out of their weapon quickly, and the others were prepared to be on the attack.
"Hey now guys," Goku said, backing up, holding his hands up in defense.
"You wouldn't attack an unarmed enemy, would you?" asked Yamcha. The others just smirked.
As they raised their arms to fire, Miari and Eighteen launched their attack, decided instead of throwing little individual snowball, to just push a lot of snow on them.
PLOP!!!!!!!
Miari and Eighteen laughed as the four were covered with a huge mound of snow. Gathering up the little snow they'd left over, they sprung down to help finish them off.
However, that wasn't exactly how things went.
As soon as Miari and Eighteen hit the ice, there was a loud 'crack'. Everybody looked around, wondering what that sound was. The next second, the ice seemed to disappear from under their feet and with a loud 'splash!!!' everyone was sent into the freezing cold water.
"Yaaaa!!!!!" yelled Yamcha and Krillen, struggling to get out of the icy water. Eighteen, unaffected by the cold, flew out easily and quickly. She was followed by Videl as she also thought of flying before splashing around like the boys were. Eventually, they all made it out, collapsing on the ground beside the lake, all shivering with cold.
Yamcha stood up first, and declared, laughing,
"WE WON!!!" Vegeta stood up next.
"What! You did not!" Goku stood next.
"Did too! Admit it Vegeta!"
"No," backed Gohan. "You did not! This was a snow war, not drown-everybody- in-freezing-water war." Miari stood up, smirking.
"Don't get mad. Besides, you know what they say: All's fair in love and war." (A/N: The similarity's creepy ain't it?)
"Well right now I'd LOVE to kick you right back into that water!" said Gohan. Videl shook her head, coming down out of the sky followed by Eighteen.
"Come on guys. No one won. Now let's go back inside." The boys turned to face her like she said something horrible.
"No way I'm I tying with Kakkoroto!" said Vegeta.
"Yeah," agreed Goku, "Because WE won!" Vegeta growled.
"Baka! You take that back right now!"
"Why don't you try and make me!" Things continued much like this all the way back to the house. Miari smiled as they walked back to the house, led by the two girls who were wondering why men always had to make EVERYTHING a life-or-death competition.
