Chapter Three: The Slumber Party!
"Who knew that there could be so many cute guys in a magazine for books?" Bulma asked.
"Whatever," Adrienne said. "Hey! Did you know that bat guano is the base of all make-up? *Exactly* why I don't wear any."
Bulma snickered. The two were lounging in the living room and the doorbell suddenly rang. Vegeta came out of the kitchen, grabbed the neck of Adrienne's shirt over, covering up her bra strap. "What are you-"
"Trunks invited Kakarott's brat over for a slumber party." Vegeta said. "Stay on the lookout, Bulma. We don't want him 'sneaking a peek' at our daughter, now do we?"
"Da-ad!" Adrienne blushed.
"Honey, we're talking about Goten," Bulma said, flipping the page of her magazine. "Not that perv of a turtle hermit living on an island in the middle of the ocean."
"Right," Vegeta nodded. "I forgot."
The doorbell rang and Trunks came rushing down the stairs. "I'll get it!" Trunks opened the door. "Hi, Goten!"
"Hi, Trunks!"
"I'll take your bag up to my room," Trunks said. He ran back up the stairs with his friend's bag.
"Hi, guys!" Goten waved.
"Hi!" Bulma and Adrienne waved, but Vegeta only sat down next to Adrienne and watched Goten's every move.
"Um…" Goten was watching Vegeta. Vegeta glared.
"Oh," Bulma smiled. "Vegeta thinks you're going to spy on Adrienne."
"Mo-om!"
"Oh…" The couple blushed.
"Just remember I have my eyes on you." Vegeta said as walked towards the kitchen. "I have cameras *all* around the house!"
"Um…right." Goten nodded.
"*Sure* you do, Vegeta!" Bulma rolled her eyes and went back to looking through her magazine.
Vegeta went through the swinging door, disappearing into the kitchen. "Don't mind him." Trunks said. "He's always like that."
"Right…" Goten nodded.
"VEGETA!" Bulma yelled. Trunks and Goten turned to the kitchen to see a pair of eyes peering at Goten from underneath the door. The eyes widened, then disappeared. There was a loud thud.
"OW!!!!"
"Hey, Goten, Adrienne, let's go hang out in my room!" Trunks exclaimed.
"IMAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta's yell came from the kitchen. A vein popped out of Adrienne and Trunks' forehead and they growled.
"Um…" Goten blinked.
"Okay, let's go." Trunks said.
"NO!" Vegeta jumped out of the kitchen and grabbed Adrienne's arm. "Adrienne won't be going with you!"
"Daddy-"
"NO BUTS!" Vegeta yelled.
"Sorry, guys."
"Adrienne has a date with the Gravity Room *anyway*!" Vegeta dragged Adrienne off to the Gravity Room.
"Oh, well," Trunks said. "Come on, Goten!"
"We'll be going to a Chinese buffet for supper!" Bulma called after them. "Make sure you don't get *too* dirty!"
"K, Mom!"
*~*~*
"Hit me baby one more time!"
"Ooh, I like this song!" Bulma exclaimed. She stopped at the station and started singing to the song. Everyone groaned.
"Hey, Dad!" Trunks called from the captain's chairs in the van. "Remember Mom's version? Hey, Mom! Sing it for us!"
"Alright," Bulma smiled and the song got back around to the chorus. "My loneliness is killin me! Killin ma-ae! I must confess- I still bel-i-eve! Still believe! When I'm not with you I lose my mind! Give me a sigh-hi-i-i-ign! Hit me Veggie one more time!"
Vegeta started banging his head on the dashboard and the airbag popped up, throwing him against the seat. They all started laughing and Vegeta punched the airbag, causing it to go flat. "Stupid airbags…! Why do they even *make* those? All they do is kill people!"
"We would hope so." Trunks whispered.
"Hey!" Trunks and Goten laughed.
"Mom, how much longer until we get there?" Adrienne asked from the very back of the van. She was sitting on the bench seat behind the two captain's chairs.
"Oh… ten-fifteen minutes." Bulma said.
"Okay." Adrienne looked back out the window.
"BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!" Vegeta yelled as he swung around.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Goten and Trunks screamed and rammed themselves against their seats. Vegeta started laughing.
"Da-ad!" Trunks whined. Adrienne and Bulma smiled at each other through the rear view mirror. "Hey, Adrienne?"
"Yeah?"
"You wanna sit next to Goten on the way back?" Trunks asked.
"SHE IS STAYING *RIGHT* WHERE SHE IS!!!" Vegeta yelled. They all groaned.
"I know!" Bulma smiled. "Let's all sing a round of 'The Song That Never Ends'!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta yelled. Trunks grinned.
"Yeah! That always drives Dad insane!" Trunks nudged Goten. "Come on, Goten! This is the song that never ends! And it goes on and on my friend! You see we- started singing it not knowing what it was! And we'll continue singing it forever just because it is the song that never ends! And it goes and on and on my friend-"
Vegeta rolled down the window and screamed: "SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Um…" The pedestrians stared.
"Vegeta, get back in the car."
"NO!" Bulma started rolling up his window and Vegeta glared at it like it was evil. He watched it as it slowly rose and finally met his neck. "ACK!" Bulma let it choke him for a minute, then she finally rolled the window back down. "BAKA ONNA! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, KILL ME!?"
"Maybe." Bulma said,
"No! We just wanna drive you insa-ane." Trunks said with a grin. He joined Goten and Adrienne in singing "The Song That Never Ends" again.
"I think he already is, Trunks." Bulma said. Vegeta crossed his arms and glared out the windshield as Bulma joined the three in their song.
"So how long do you plan on dating my daughter until the big day?" Bulma asked.
"MO-OM!"
"There won't *be* a big day if I have anything to do with it." Vegeta muttered.
"Who said I was getting married to *anybody*!?" Goten was freaking out.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY DAUGHTER!!!!!?" Vegeta turned around to look at Goten.
"I never said anything was wrong with her!" Goten exclaimed.
"Then why aren't you going to marry her?" Vegeta asked. "That's what dating is *for*!"
"Mom, tell Dad to stop it!" Adrienne whined.
"Now look what you did!" Goten yelled. "You're making my girlfriend cry!"
"I am not crying!"
"If she wasn't my daughter, I would give myself a point." Vegeta said, glaring at Goten.
"Gr…!" Vegeta and Goten glared at each other.
"Vegeta, don't make me stop this car!" Bulma exclaimed. Vegeta immediately shut up and looked out the windshield.
"Hmph!" Goten crossed his arms and looked out the window.
"Oh, I totally agree with Goten," Trunks said. "He doesn't want to marry her, he just wants to-"
"Trunks, don't you *dare* finish that sentence!" Bulma exclaimed.
"Okay, okay," Trunks frowned. He grinned and started singing a song. "Adrienne! I thought I knew you! Once again you used him, used him! Adrienne! He should have left you! Long before you used him, used him up!"
"Trunks, stop it." Goten said.
"Da-ad!" Adrienne whined. "He's doing it again!"
"HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT MY DAUGHTER WOULD *STOOP* THAT LOW!!!!??" Vegeta reached back to slap him, but Trunks rammed himself against the door, causing Vegeta to miss as he was sent tumbling out of the open door.
"Trunks!" Adrienne stood up, nearly bumping her head.
"Stop the car!" Goten exclaimed.
"AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta jumped out of the car.
"Oh my Kami!" Bulma stopped the car. "VEGETA!!!!!"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY ANKLE!!!!!!!!!!!"
*~*~*
As Adrienne lay in her room, she wondered what Trunks and Goten might be doing. Were they talking about girls? Were they talking about *her*? Adrienne closed her eyes and tried to imagine what they were doing.
"This would be way more fun with Adrienne in here," Trunks said. "I'm bored to death!"
"I know what you mean." Goten said.
Adrienne opened her eyes. She must have heard them through the vents!
*~*~*
"Well, good night!" Trunks flipped onto his side. The door flung open.
"Hey, guys!"
"Huh?" The two boys sat up and the door closed. Trunks went Super Saiyan and they could now see that it was Adrienne.
"Oh, it's just you," Trunks said. He went back to normal. "What are you doing in here?"
"I couldn't help overhearing that you both were bored to death," Adrienne said. "And that it would be 'way more fun with Adrienne in here'." The two looked confused. "There are vents you know."
"Oh, yeah…" Goten said.
"Trunks, quit making faces at me." Adrienne said.
"How could you tell that I was-"
"I can see really well in the dark," Adrienne said. "Dad said it's a gift from my great grandparents or something."
"Oh."
"Actually, it's a gift from her mother." Trunks whispered to Goten. Goten nodded.
"Right." Goten stood up, and walked over to the window carrying his pillow. He looked outside to see that it was still dark out. "So what are you doing up so late?"
"Hello-o? Saiyan hearing." Adrienne said.
"Oh yeah." The three sort of lacked on conversation.
"Oh!" Adrienne said. "By the way- nice shorts."
Goten blushed and covered his boxers up with his pillow. Adrienne laughed. "Hey, Goten, what should we do tomorrow before you leave?"
"I dunno." Goten said, sitting down and leaning up against the wall.
"You could look through Master Roshi dirty magazines," Adrienne said, dropping some magazines on the floor that she had pulled from her back pocket. "He left them in our car from the last road trip we all went on."
"Funny." Goten said. "I thought he never left home without them. I bet he's having a fit."
"Possibly," Adrienne said. "You can have them, though. I don't want them!"
"No thanks." Goten said.
"Maybe I'll give them back to him for Christmas," Trunks said. He shook his head. "Nah! He doesn't deserve them!"
The three cracked up laughing and the door opened. They all looked up to see Bulma standing there.
"You guys better be on the lookout," Bulma said. "Mom's little dinosaur got loose---again! You know, the little red one with spikes?"
Trunks flinched. "Yes, I remember." Adrienne cracked up laughing. "It's not funny…!"
"What isn't?" Goten asked. "I don't get it…"
"Okay, thanks for the tip, Mom!" Adrienne said. Bulma nodded and closed the door. Trunks whined and hugged his pillow.
"Somebody turn on the night-light…!"
"Poor Trunks." Adrienne pouted. "I like the dark, too…!"
Goten flipped the switch to turn on the night-light and Trunks smiled. "Better!"
"Okay, it's time for bed." Goten said. He stood up and walked over to his sleeping bag. "Adrienne, get out of my sleeping bag!"
"No!" Adrienne shook her head. "It's warm and cozy!"
"Only cause he wet it!" Trunks teased.
"Hey!" Goten yelled. Adrienne giggled. "Adrienne, get out of my sleeping bag. I'm serious!"
"Fine, I will get *out* of it." Adrienne got out from underneath it and lay on top of it.
"Adrienne…!" Goten whined. "Adrienne, if you don't move then I'm going to kick you out!"
"No you won't." Adrienne shook her head.
"Adrienne, I'm going to have to sleep on top of you." Goten said. Adrienne scrambled to get up and Goten grinned. "DOG PILE!!!!"
Trunks laughed as Goten jumped on top of his sister. "Goten, you're squishing me!"
"You asked for it!" Goten told her.
"Daddy, Daddy! Look what *Goten* is doing!!" Trunks teased, pointing at Goten. The door flung open.
"WHAT!? WHAT IS HE DOING!?" Vegeta spotted Goten, who was still on top of Adrienne. "YOU!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goten ran out of the room screaming, followed by Vegeta.
"Tru-unks! Look what you did NOW!" Adrienne yelled.
"I didn't think he'd actually come!" Trunks whined.
"Come on!" Adrienne grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room.
"Who knew that there could be so many cute guys in a magazine for books?" Bulma asked.
"Whatever," Adrienne said. "Hey! Did you know that bat guano is the base of all make-up? *Exactly* why I don't wear any."
Bulma snickered. The two were lounging in the living room and the doorbell suddenly rang. Vegeta came out of the kitchen, grabbed the neck of Adrienne's shirt over, covering up her bra strap. "What are you-"
"Trunks invited Kakarott's brat over for a slumber party." Vegeta said. "Stay on the lookout, Bulma. We don't want him 'sneaking a peek' at our daughter, now do we?"
"Da-ad!" Adrienne blushed.
