I am ****SOOOOOOO**** sorry it took so long to update!!!!! _ Mom kept kicking me off the i-net! Well, here's the third chapter after a *SERIOUS* delay!

Chapter Three: Winter on FHI!


"SNOW!!!!!!!!!" Everyone woke up to the sounds of excited screams coming from two demi-Saiyans. Goten rushed into his parents' room and started jumping up and down on the bed.

"DADDY, DADDY, IT'S *SNOWING*!!!!!" Goten exclaimed.

"What…?" Goku sat up and rubbed his head. He looked at the curtains, blocking their window view. "Really?"

"DAD, DAD, LET'S GO PLAY IN THE SNOW!!! LET'S GO PLAY IN THE SNO-" Gohan had grabbed Goten by his arms and flung him upwards, catching him.

"Hey, squirt, you wanna go play in the snow?" Goten grinned.

"YEAH!!!!!!!!"

"Dress warmly!" Chi-Chi called after her sons.

*~*~*

"Bulma, why is there snow outside?" Vegeta asked, looking out their window at Trunks, Goten, and Gohan, who were playing in the snow. Bulma sat up.

"Well, it IS around that time of year, Vegeta." Bulma's eyes went wide. "Oh my Kami! Christmas! We'd better get off of this island by Christmas!"

"Bulma, the island is sinking and it will take us down with it," Vegeta told her. "We won't be home by Christmas!"

"Just you wait and see!" Bulma told her husband. "I'll get us all off this island before Christmas if it's the LAST thing I do!"

"Fine, fine," Vegeta said. "You waste your time on that…" Vegeta grinned. "I'm going outside!"

Vegeta rushed out of their room and Bulma stared at the door after him. "Since when does he smile!?"

*~*~*

"WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Vegeta was ice-skating around on the private beach. But because the private beach is always expanding, the ice shattered because of the high pressure of the water, and Vegeta's eyes went wide as he squeaked. Vegeta fell into the freezing water below.

"Dad…?" Trunks stood at the edge of the private beach and looked at the water. Vegeta suddenly surfaced in a rectangular ice cube. "DAD!!!!!"

"Ready, Goten?" Goku asked. Goten nodded.

"Yeah!" Goku grinned.

"Okay!" Goku and Gohan ran at the sled, and dove forward in unison, pushing Goten down the hill at an incredible speed.

"SUPER PUSH!!!!!!!!!!" Goten exclaimed as he went down the hill, came up over another, went down, came up another, and went down out of sight.

"Help! Help!" Trunks exclaimed, waving his arms around.

"What is it, Trunks?" Goku asked.

"Help! Help!"

"Trunks, calm down and tell us what's wrong." Gohan told him, putting a hand on Trunks' shoulder.

"MY DAD'S BEEN FROZEN IN AN ICE CUBE!!!" Trunks suddenly yelled.

"What!?" Goku, Gohan, and Trunks all rushed to the shore of the private beach, where sat a giant, rectangular ice cube with our Saiyan Prince inside.

"Vegeta!!!" Gohan and Goku yelled, sliding across the snow, into the ice cube. The ice cube fell over and Trunks leaned forward to get a closer look.

"Guys…?"

"It's so cold…!" Piccolo exclaimed. "I'm so glad I left Teale with Bulma!"

"There's the house!" Yamcha exclaimed, pointing at the house. They were only fifteen feet away!

"We're not gonna make it!" Piccolo told his friend, shaking his head.

"Yes we will!" Yamcha declared, looking up from his feet at the house. "We'll make it if we can just- keep- going!"

Yamcha suddenly fell over, making a thud as he hit the snow. "YAMCHA!!!"

"Quick! Vegeta's been frozen in a ice cube!" Goku exclaimed, as he and his son carried the giant ice cube into the house. Eighteen gasped.

"Oh my Kami!" Krillin said. Bulma fainted, but Chi-Chi and Videl quickly caught her.

"It's on!" Trunks exclaimed, jumping up.

"Is everyone else alright?" Videl asked as she and Chi-Chi laid Bulma on the couch.

"Yamcha was out lying the snow making snow angels!" Goku told them.

"And Piccolo was helping him up so he wouldn't mess it up." Gohan added.

"Oh, that's nice." Krillin said, his wife nodding.

"Wait!"

"Huh? What is it Chi-Chi?" Goku asked, looking at his wife.

"Isn't someone missing?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Hm…." They all were deep in thought.

"Goten!" Marron exclaimed, pointing at the Son family portrait. Everyone gasped.

"GOTEN!!!"

*~*~*

"WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!" Goten's sled was STILL going. (A/n: talk about a "Super Push"!) Goten started laughing. "This is a lot of fun!" Goten continued laughing as he sped across the plains on his purple, circular sled. He soon realized he had reached the beach, not the private beach, but the beach. The next thing he knew, he was speeding across the ice-covered waters. He started laughing again. "WEE! This is FUN!" He exclaimed as he continued across the ice. He soon realized something: he was headed towards the barrier! Goten began to shift his weight in different directions, but it wouldn't turn! He looked up at the invisible barrier and screamed: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The next thing he knew, somebody jumped onto the front of his sled. Goten looked up at them and they looked down at him. Whoever had jumped onto his sled put an arm around Goten's waist and jumped off the sled, causing the purple disk to rapidly spin into the barrier. They landed and Goten was put on the ground.

"Wow! Thanks Mr. …" Goten looked at the man awkwardly.

"It's Cell." Cell told him.

"Cool!" Goten grinned. "Mr. Cell-"

"I would prefer Cell."

"Okay!" Goten nodded. "Mr. Cell-"

"Just Cell." Cell told him, looking at him awkwardly.

"But my Mom says to-"

"Call. Me. Cell!"

"But my Mom says-"

"I SAID CELL!" Cell yelled suddenly.

"Oh, okay," Goten agreed, as if finally getting it. "I'm Goten!" Cell nodded in response. "Cell, I want you to meet my friends! And my Daddy! My Daddy's gonna LIKE you!"

"But I have to get off this island and get back to my friend…" Cell said, looking at the barrier.

"That doesn't matter!" Goten exclaimed, taking Cell's hand. "There's no way off the island, anyways!"

"You mean I can't get out!?" Cell demanded.

"Nope!" Goten told his new, half green, one fourth- (…forget the description) friend. "The island is gradually sinking! Come on, now!"

Cell walked along, Goten almost dragging him. "This child seems all too happy with staying on this island… perhaps it's his idea!" Cell thought. "Or maybe he's getting candy for trapping people here from an eviler villain than myself…"

"Not evil!" Frieza exclaimed, suddenly appearing. "Just stupid!"

"That's Mr. Frieza," Goten told Cell. "This is Cell, Frieza! Frieza, we'll meet you back at the house, okay?"

"Okay!" Frieza disappeared.

"How can he read my thoughts!?" Cell asked.

"I don't know, but he does it to all of us," Goten told his new friend. "Especially Uncle Vegeta! Come on, now! We have to beat Frieza!!!"

"But- WHOA!" Goten dragged his friend along with ease. Cell just looked at the camera and shrugged.

*~*~*

"GOTEN!!!" Goku called. "GOTEN, WHERE ARE YOU!!!!????"

"GOTEN!" Chi-Chi's voice echoed off the barriers.

"GOTEN, IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH!" Bulma lied.

"Goten!!!" Gohan ran by Yamcha and Piccolo. Yamcha was still lying unconscious in the snow with Piccolo trying to pick him up. Gohan looked at Piccolo. "You two STILL making snow angels?"

"No, not-" Gohan shrugged and ran off, continuing to call his brother.

"GOTEN!!!" Goku called his son's name desperately. "GOTEN!!!!!!!! GOTEN, WHERE ARE YOU!!!!????"

"Daddy, Daddy!!!" They all turned to see Goten come up the hill, running towards them. "Daddy, I'm right here!!!"

"Goten!" Goku ran across the snow to meet his son. They met in a tight embrace.

"Goku, Goku, is he alright?" Chi-Chi asked as she arrived at her husband's side.

"He's fine." Goku assured her.

"Hey, squirt, don't scare us like that!" Gohan told him. Goten nodded.

"Okay. But I want you guys to met somebody!" Goten told them.

"Meet somebody…?" Krillin asked. Eighteen was inside with Vegeta, taking care of Teale and Marron. Goten nodded.

"Yeah! He's my friend!" Goten told them. "Daddy, he saved my life!"

"Is that so?" Goten nodded and Goku smiled. "Well, any friend of yours is a friend of mine!"

Goten grinned. "Okay, I'll be right back!" Goten ran back over the hill and disappeared, running down the other side.

"What exactly are we waiting on?" Trunks asked, finally arriving at the scene with Videl.

"Goten's new friend." Bulma told her son. Trunks clutched his face in horror.

"COULD HE *POSSIBLY* DITCH *ME*!!!!????" Trunks asked in horror. "HIS BEST *FRIEND*!!!!????"

"Nah!"

"Phew!" Trunks quickly relaxed. "Okay!"

"Come on, come on!" Goten appeared at the top of the hill. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and- well…no girls! I give you- MR. CELL!!!!!"

Everyone stared at what they saw: Cell standing beside Goten, arms crossed. "G-G-G-G-G-Go-t-ten…!" Goku stuttered. They all stared. Gohan was the first to speak:

"GOTEN, *RUN*!!!!!!!!" Gohan started waving his arms around to get his brother's attention.

"Wait, I KNOW these people!" Cell told himself. Goten looked at Cell.

"You know my Daddy?" Goten asked.

"Yes." Cell replied with a nod. Goten and Cell looked back at Gohan, who was still waving his arms around.

"Why is my brother waving at me like that?" Goten asked, looking at Cell again. "Do you think he ate some alcoholic fruit?"

"I have no idea." Cell admitted.

"Will you give me a piggy back ride?" Goten asked.

"If that's what you want…" Goten's eyes sparkled.

"YAY!!!!" Cell crouched down and Goten jumped on his back. Cell started walking down the hill with Goten. "Piggy back! Piggy back!"

Cell arrived in front of them all with Goten on his back. Cell set Goten down and Goten grinned. "THI-IS!" Goten pointed at Cell. "Is Cell!"

Goku squeaked and fainted. "Goku!" Chi-Chi crouched down.

"Gohan, are you okay…?" Videl asked, observing Gohan. Her fiancée was still waving his arms around and stuttering.

"R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-RU-RU-RU-RU-RU-R-RU-RUN!!!!!!!!" Gohan grabbed his Videl ("Hey!") and ran off with her.

"That looks like fun!" Goten exclaimed as Gohan ran into the house with Videl. "Hey, Gohan!"

Cell watched Goten run into the house. "Is it true?"

"Hm?" Cell looked at Bulma.

"Did you really save Goten's life?" Bulma asked. Cell looked at the sky and paused before answering.

"Yes."

"Why did you do it?" Chi-Chi asked.

"We thought you were evil!" Krillin told him.

"I was." Cell explained. "But something strange happened to me after I was defeated. I turned NICE!"

"How did you get on the island?" Goku asked, finally waking up.

"Well, I was playing outside the barrier with Majin Buu…" Cell went into a flashback.

*~*~*

"WEEEEEE!!!!!!" Evil Kid Majin Buu was sliding across the iced over ocean, passing Cell. Majin Buu laughed and stopped himself by jumping up. "Cell, Cell, look at this!"

"Hm…" Cell looked up from where he was crouched to see Majin Buu do a flip.

"Ta da!" Majin Buu exclaimed. Cell sighed, shook his head, and went back to whatever he was doing. Something cold and round hit his shoulder. It was followed by laughter and another snowball.

"Hey!" Cell yelled, regaining his balance. "Watch it, I'm making something over here!" Majin Buu landed on the ice sculpture Cell was making, crushing it. Cell's eyes went big. "MY ICE CASTLES!!!!"

"HAHAHA HAHAHAHA!" Majin Buu laughed. Cell growled and chucked a snowball at him. It hit Majin Buu in the face. "OW!!!"

"Hee hee!" Cell laughed. Majin Buu growled and shot him with an energy blast. Cell gasped and grinned. He threw one right back at Majin Buu. The two started laughing and shooting each other. Cell started shooting Majin Buu in the stomach, causing Majin Buu to laugh as he charged another energy blast.

"WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Majin Buu shot his huge energy blast at Cell, causing him to go flying backwards. Cell felt himself flying for miles, then suddenly felt something cold against his back, which brushed over his body like death. He felt the chill at his front, and then it disappeared. He landed on the ground and looked up to see the blast explode against thin air (the barrier).

"Majin Buu…?" Cell looked around at the island he was on. He flew over to where the blast exploded and ran into something, causing him to combust. He suddenly regenerated. "It must be an invisible force field!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Cell turned to see a little boy on a sled heading towards the barrier.

"Oh no!"

*~*~*

Cell came out of his flashback and told them all about how he had saved Goten. "Wow," Goku said. "Thanks, Cell!"

"It was no problem." Cell told him.

"What do you think Piccolo will say?" Bulma asked with amusement.

"And Dad!" Trunks added. The two grinned and Bulma grabbed Cell's arm.

"Com on, Cell!" Bulma commanded. "I'll show you to your room!"

*~*~*

It was lunch and the hamburgers were back by popular demand. Trunks picked up a French fry and tossed it at Goten. "Hey!" Goten threw one back at Trunks, making it land in his friend's lap. He giggled as Trunks picked it up and threw it back at him.

"You two stop." Bulma told them. Eighteen was eyeing Cell with caution, holding Marron close.

"Where's Piccolo and Yamcha?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Oh, they're still out making snow angels!" Goku told his wife. "Right, Gohan?"

Gohan frowned. "I tried to get them to come in…"

"You two stop." Bulma ordered. The two disobeyed her and continued throwing their French fries. "Stop it." They continued to toss the French fries. "I said stop!" They ignored her and continued to throw fries at each other. "Stop it!!" The two continued throwing the French fries. "STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The sound of Bulma's high-pitched voice echoed off the walls, causing them to start cracking.

Outside, Piccolo had been carrying Yamcha's unconscious body across the snow. Piccolo looked up and smiled. "We're finally here!!!" Piccolo reached for the doorknob, and was about to place his hand on it, when the house blew up. Piccolo stood there, frozen in horror.

Bulma looked around at where the walls of the house used to be, and fainted. Vegeta shook his head with crossed arms. "Stupid woman."
