Chapter Six: It's Not My Talent Show!
Goten rang the doorbell and waited for somebody to open the door. He swallowed as he heard footsteps coming towards the door. "Please don't let it be Vegeta, PLEASE don't let it be Vegeta…!"
The door opened and Adrienne stood there, rubbing her eyes. She was still in her pajamas: an orange long-sleeved shirt with gray sweatpants. She realized it was Goten and smiled. "Goten!" Adrienne threw her arms around him, embracing him in a tight hug.
"Um… this is new." Goten said. Adrienne finally let go.
"Come in!" Goten stepped inside and closed the door behind him. Adrienne yawned. "What are you doing up so early?"
"What are YOU doing up so early?" Goten asked. Adrienne smiled and shrugged in a girly-like way.
"I dunno!" Goten laughed.
"You're very lightheaded when you get up in the mornings, aren't you?" Adrienne hit him playfully.
"I am not!" The two laughed.
"Okay, well, I brought you these." Goten held out a bunch of flowers tied together with a red ribbon. They were the same kind Goten had given to her as a child: yellow roses. Adrienne stared at the flowers, and went into a flashback. She was young, standing in a field full of daffodils, her hair blowing in the wind. Someone was holding her hand, and they were looking at a grave. There were yellow roses surrounding it. "Whoops! I forgot you don't like flowers!"
Adrienne popped back into reality and looked up at Goten. She shook her head. "No, I like flowers!"
"Huh?" Adrienne took the flowers from him and stared at them.
"Thank you… they're beautiful."
"Well it's nice to see you've changed!"
"I'm sorry I was so mean to you." Adrienne apologized.
"It's okay!" Goten said, shaking his hands. "I know why, anyway!"
"Well, I just thought I'd tell you that-"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goten and Adrienne rushed up the stairs towards the direction of the scream. They opened Trunks' door.
"What? What is it!?"
"It's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!" Trunks whined. He was sitting cross-legged on his bed. He pointed at a little red thing on his pillow. "Adrienne, come get the stupid thing!"
Adrienne giggled as the little red ball on Trunks' pillow got up and started walking towards him. It made a funny noise that sounded like: "Myow-myow!" Trunks screamed as it continued walking towards him.
"ADRIENNE, STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"It's a gay little dinosaur, isn't it, Trunks?" Adrienne teased. Bulma (who had just arrived) smiled.
"It sure is! It's happy *right* where it is!" The little red dinosaur had a hold of Trunks' leg and he was nuzzling him.
"Quit teasing me with the opposite definition of gay!" Trunks yelled. He shook his leg, causing the tiny dinosaur to tumble backwards. "Now *stay* there!"
"Oh, Trunks!" Adrienne ran forward and picked the little red dinosaur up. It stood on her hand and she poked its stomach. It giggled with its high voice and Adrienne smiled. "It's cute! Don't you think, Goten?"
"Eheheheh!" Goten laughed nervously, looking at the little dinosaur. It was red with peach pads on its hands and feet, and it had small yellow spikes running from the tip of his tail all the way up his back. It held up its hands and opened its mouth, causing Goten to scream ("EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!") and take a step backwards. Adrienne laughed.
"How about that, little guy? You can even scare Goten!"
"Deho!" The little dino exclaimed. Adrienne giggled, then looked at her mother.
"Mom, can I keep him?"
"*What*!?" Trunks screamed. Bulma smiled.
"Go ask your grandparents." Adrienne smiled.
"Okay!"
"But, Adrienne, what if you roll over on top of it in your sleep?" Goten asked. "You could injure yourself or even *kill* the thing!"
"…I don't roll over in my sleep."
"Oh…."
"But still!" Trunks yelled. Adrienne shrugged and walked out into the hall.
"Grandma, I have a *question*!" Adrienne yelled.
"Mom, tell me you're not *really* gonna let her keep that thing!" Bulma shrugged.
"Why not…?" Trunks sighed as his mother walked off. His desperate attempts were so helpless!
*~*~*
"See, Goten?" Vegeta asked. Vegeta pointed at the red dinosaur (who was in Adrienne's hands). "That's one of the horrible little monsters I'm going to feed you to. Demonic little boogers, aren't they?"
"Um….yeah." Goten nodded. Like he was *really* gonna let Vegeta feed him to those! ….But he might as well play along!
"Who wants to watch home-made movies?" Goku asked.
"Me!" Everyone's hand shot in the air. Everyone had had a cookout at Capsule Corp., being invited by Bulma, of course. Goku grinned. So most of the men started hooking the TV up outside. "Hey, Adrienne!"
"What is it, Pan?" Adrienne leaned over.
"I'm going to prove I'm better than you in the "It's Not My Talent Show" after this!" Pan exclaimed.
"Really?" Adrienne asked.
"Yep!"
"Well congratulations on your loss!" Adrienne said, holding out her hand. Pan smiled and shook her hand. She stopped.
"Huh!?"
"Okay, okay!" Goku announced. "First movie!"
Goku sat down next to Adrienne. "Which one is this?"
"Just wait." Goku said. (A/n: If it's in these things: [ ], then it means it's the tape. If it's not, then it's not on the tape) [The TV started and they appeared to be in a gymnasium. The camera turned to look at Chi-Chi.]
["Goku, Goten's up next!"]
"I know, I know!" Goku exclaimed. The camera turned to the left to see Vegeta, Bulma, [and Trunks. The camera zoomed in on Vegeta's white shirt which said: "Christmas=Death". The camera zoomed back out and zoomed in on Trunks' shirt this time. It said: "Be Naughty, Save Santa the Trip". The camera zoomed back out and Chi-Chi yelled:]
["There's Goten!"]
["Come on, Goten!" Gohan cheered. The "Chicken Dance" music started up and all of the kids started doing the "Chicken Dance".] Adrienne started doing the movements in her seat, making Goku snicker. [Goten looked at Adrienne and exclaimed:]
["Look, Adrienne, I can spin REALLY fast!"] Everyone started snickering and Goten blushed. [Goten started spinning around and Chi-Chi hit her forehead. Goku started laughing and Chi-Chi looked up:]
["Goku, it's not funny!"]
["Sorry, Chi-Chi!" Goten continued spinning until:]
["Whoa!" Goten couldn't control his spinning. Goten spun into Adrienne and Vegeta stood up and cupped his hands to his mouth:]
["Booooooooooo!!!!!" (on the tape)]
["Shut up, Vegeta!" Bulma yelled.]
"Oh-ho-ho!" Everyone said. Vegeta went red.
"This is the best part!" Gohan exclaimed. They all looked back at the TV just in time to see Goten spin into one of the loudspeakers and knocked it over. The screen cut off and everyone laughed. Goten's cheeks were flaring, but he still got a good kick out of it.
"Next tape!" Goku exclaimed, jumping up.
"Wait, where's Deho (pronounced day-ho)?" Adrienne asked, jumping up.
"Deho?" Everyone looked confused.
"My little dinosaur…!" Adrienne whined. Trunks screamed and jumped onto the picnic table.
"There it is!" Goten exclaimed.
"*WHERE*!?" Trunks looked around frantically.
"In your *hair*!" Goten exclaimed.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Trunks screamed like a girl and started trying to brush it out of his hair. Goten cracked up laughing. "Goten!"
"He's right here." Bulma said, pointing at the ground. Deho had propped himself up on the leg of the picnic table, and was trying to get to Trunks. Trunks screamed again and Adrienne picked him up.
"Come here, cutie!" Adrienne lifted him up and started petting him.
"What… is it?" Gohan asked.
"Deho!" Adrienne held him up for everyone to see. All of the men (except Goku) screamed and jumped on top of the picnic table. Deho whined and let his arms hang. "Ohhhh! Poor thing!"
"Hey there, little guy!" Goku pet Deho. "He's cute!"
"Definitely!" All of the women (and Pan and Goku) started crowding around Deho.
"How come all the men think it's demonic?" Adrienne asked.
"I don't!" Goku declared.
"But it is…" Trunks whined.
"Is not," Adrienne shot back.
"It *is*! Adrienne, put that thing back in its- well, take it back to wherever it came from!" Vegeta demanded.
"It came from Trunks' room, Dad!"
"Then take it back to the garden! Or better yet, let the little demon free, where it can run and frolic and be happy until the day it gets stepped on!!" Adrienne gasped and pulled Deho close.
"Dad, you're hurting his feelings!"
"It's a demon! It doesn't have feelings!" Deho wriggled free of Adrienne's grasp and stood on her shoulder. He screamed a little dinosaur scream and jumped on Vegeta's face. Vegeta screamed.
"Vegeta, I told her she could keep it. Leave the poor thing alone!"
"Leave it alone!? It's attacking my face!" Meanwhile, Goku had been searching through the tapes and pulled one of them out.
"Let's watch this one!" he said. Adrienne pulled Deho off of Vegeta and stuck him in her pocket. Vegeta glared at the little thing as it popped his head out of the pocket. Deho glared back and growled. Vegeta spit his tongue out at the dinosaur, and Deho copied him.
"Quit copying me!"
"Dad, leave Deho alone!"
"Nyah-nyah!" Deho said in a cute little voice. Vegeta glared at Deho and muttered:
"If you weren't my daughter's pet…" Deho squeaked in horror and slipped his head back inside the pocket. Goku gave Vegeta an odd look, stuck in the tape, and pushed the play button.
"Hey, this is our big Capsule Corp. Christmas party!" Bulma exclaimed after a few minutes.
"Sure is," Eighteen said. Chi-Chi nodded.
"Isn't this the one where Gohan got a carrot stuck up his nose?" Trunks asked. Goku shook his head.
"No, that was the year before."
"Oh."
"Too bad," Goten said.
"Yeah," Gohan said sarcastically. "Such a shame." Videl laughed.
"That really is too bad," she said. "You probably looked cute with a carrot up your nose." Gohan's face went red and he laughed nervously.
"Eheheh…"
"Shhh!" Vegeta hissed. "This is the only one I got to film, so be quiet and let me enjoy it!" Everyone went back to watching the tape.
["Hey, guys!" Bulma greeted Goku, Gohan, Chi-Chi, and a very excited Goten at the door.]
["Where's Trunks?" Goten asked.]
["He's in the other room playing." Bulma said.]
["Okay!" Goten ran off into the other room and the camera went back to Goku. Goku noticed the camera was watching him.]
["Vegeta, what are you doing?" Vegeta laughed. "What? I don't get it!"]
["It's nothing, Goku," Bulma said. "I told him I would give him twenty bucks if he could be nice to you all night. I guess he's just staying around you to make sure I notice his 'good behavior'."]
[Goku laughed. "Good behavior!?" Goku laughed again.]
["Shut up, Kakarott!" Vegeta yelled.]
["You lost!" Goku pointed out. He laughed again. "I knew it would get you!"]
"Dad, he got you pretty good!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Oh, shut up!" Vegeta shot back.
["Hi, guys!" Bulma met Krillin, Eighteen, and Marron at the door. "Come on in!" Bulma turned to see the camera watching her. "Vegeta, turn that thing off!"]
[The camera cut back on and everybody was in the living room, having a good time. The camera went over to the Christmas tree, where Trunks was. "Trunks, what are you doing?" Vegeta's voice came.]
[Trunks grinned up at him: "Nothing!"]
["It must be something…!" Vegeta said. "I sense a 'present-shaker'!" Trunks cracked up laughing. "Well? Am I not correct? A little mouse is attempting to figure out what his presents are!" Trunks started laughing again.]
["Are you trying to show Mom you can be nice for *once*?"]
["Why you little!" The camera shut off.]
Everyone looked at Vegeta. "……what!?"
[The camera cut back on and they were in the living room again. "Hey, old man!" Vegeta yelled.]
["What is it?" Vegeta turned the camera to face Master Roshi, who was looking very puzzled. The camera slowly began to bounce.]
["Take the camera!"]
["Why?" Master Roshi asked.]
["Just do it!" Vegeta yelled. The camera began to bounce more fiercely. Master Roshi grinned.]
["What's wrong, Vegeta? Having a personal crisis over there?" Vegeta growled and the camera flew at Master Roshi.]
["Just take over until I get back!" Vegeta ran off down the hall as Master Roshi began to film. The camera scanned the room. Everyone was talking or shaking presents (a/n: *coughGokucough*). Goten and Trunks ran into the room.]
["Dad, Dad!" Goku quickly put down the present and looked up at his son innocently.]
["What is it, Goten?"]
["Can me and Trunks go blow some holes in the snowmen we built!?" he asked eagerly. Goku laughed.]
["That kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?" The two Chibi-Saiyans looked at each other in confusion.]
["What?" they asked in unison.]
["Never mind. Go ahead, guys!"]
["Yay!" Both boys went to run out the door.]
["Take Adrienne with you!"]
["Aw, Uncle Goku!" Trunks whined. "Do we have to?" Adrienne laughed.]
["C'mon, Trunks, let's go blow some holes in those snowmen!" she said. Adrienne, Goten, and Trunks ran out the door. Bulma walked by with a tray of Christmas cookies as the door closed behind them, and the camera decided to follow. She stopped to set down the tray and began to talk to Eighteen, who was holding Marron on the other side of the counter. The camera zoomed in on Bulma's behind.]
Everyone looked at Master Roshi. He coughed and quickly came up with an excuse. "I wanted to know what brand of jeans she was wearing!" he exclaimed. "See!? They're…" he quickly began looking for a label. "Oh shoot, wrong side!" Vegeta jumped on Master Roshi.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!" Deho popped his head out of Adrienne's pocket and started cheering Vegeta on with a few one-two punches of his own. Gohan looked at Goten.
"Do you have any objection?" he asked.
"No."
"Okay." Everyone went back to watching the movie. After a few minutes, Goku sighed.
"Stupid guilty conscience," he muttered. "VEGETA!" Goku walked back to where the two men were struggling and started to help Roshi. No one seemed to notice or care.
[Vegeta walked back into the room. "Alright, give it back." He paused. "Roshi, what are you doing?" Roshi didn't answer. "Roshi! Hey, old man!" Suddenly, Vegeta gasped. "WHY ARE YOU STARING AT MY WIFE!!!!??? ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Roshi screamed, and the camera fell sideways and shut off as it collided with the ground.]
"You go, Vegeta!" Bulma cheered.
"I think that's the end of that one," Chi-Chi said. "Which one do you want to watch now?" Gohan stood up and searched through the tapes. He laughed.
"How about this one?" He ejected the previous tape and entered the new one.
["Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!" Bulma, Adrienne, Trunks, and Bra were standing around behind a very sullen Vegeta, who was wearing a bright red birthday hat. He had his arms crossed and was glaring at the birthday cake in front of him. On the cake, written in red icing, were the words "Happy Birthday, Veggie!"]
"Vegeta, you look so cute with that birthday hat!" Bulma said. Vegeta muttered something as he made his way to his seat. Goku was helping Master Roshi up in the back.
[Goten walked up behind the 'camera-man'. "Hey Dad, are you getting all this?"]
["Yeah," Goku answered. The camera scanned the table, where the whole group was sitting. Chi-Chi noticed the camera and waved. The camera slowly made it's way back to Vegeta.]
["Happy birthday, dear Vegeta!" The group continued to sing. "Happy birthday to you!!"]
["Now blow out your candles!" Bulma told him.]
["No," Vegeta said.]
["Why not?"]
["They're trick candles, I know it! You did it last time, and you've done it again!"]
["But Vegeta, they're not-"]
["Darn it, woman, I'm not a child! As if this birthday nonsense weren't humiliating enough!" Vegeta shook his head. "I'm not blowing out those candles!"]
["Then I guess you won't be getting any presents!" Bulma said. She started to pick up the wrapped gifts on the table and glared at him. "Especially *mine*." Vegeta gasped.]
["You wouldn't *dare*!" In response, Bulma went back to picking up the presents. "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!" Bulma put the presents back down and smiled.]
["Make a wish, Daddy," Adrienne said.]
["I'll make a wish, alright," Veggie muttered. "I WISH YOU'D TURN OFF THAT STUPID CAMERA!" Goku laughed.]
["Sorry, Vegeta, no can do! Gotta save this for the grandkids, right Chi-Chi?" Chi-Chi grinned and nodded. Vegeta muttered something and took a deep breath.]
"Don't do it, Vegeta! It's a trick!" Vegeta yelled at himself. "They're all a bunch of liars!" Bulma glared and hit Vegeta over the head. "Ow!"
[Vegeta blew on the candles- hard. Nothing happened. Vegeta blew again, but they didn't go out. Vegeta continued to blow until his face turned purple.]
"I told you!" Vegeta yelled.
"Hey Vegeta," Goku said. "You're turning into a Kai!"
"Shut up, Kakarott!"
["I knew it! You set me up!" the Vegeta onscreen yelled.]
["Again!" Trunks said. "I can't believe you fell for it!"]
["*Again*!" Goku exclaimed in-between laughter. Vegeta growled.]
["I hate you all! That's it, no more birthdays for me!" He stood up and threw down his birthday hat. He looked up at Goku and narrowed his eyes. "Darn it, Kakarott! Would you shut that thing off!?" Vegeta picked up his hat and threw it at Goku.]
["Aw, c'mon, Dad!" Trunks said. "It was just a joke!"]
["Yeah," Adrienne said. "Why don't you open your presents?" Vegeta crossed his arms.]
["No, I don't want to."]
["Hey Mom, why don't you give him yours?" Trunks asked in a sly tone. Bulma glared at her son.]
["Say one more word and you're grounded for a month!"] Everyone laughed and Trunks blushed.
"I got grounded…"
"Okay, I think we should start the 'It's Not My Talent Show'." Chi-Chi said. "It'll be dark in a little while…"
"Okay!" Bulma nodded.
*~*~*
"Alright, does anyone have any suggestions for me?" Vegeta asked. They were all silent for a minute.
"Be nice to Goku!"
"Yeah!" Vegeta mumbled something.
"Kakarott, get up here!" Goku grinned and climbed onto the picnic table, standing beside Vegeta. "How long do I have to be nice?"
"The total of a minute!"
"Thirty seconds!"
"Alright," Vegeta turned to Goku. "Nice, day, huh, Kakarott?"
"Yeah, if you're a prissy boy who likes blue skies." Goku said.
"YOU UGLY FOOL!!!!!!!!" Vegeta jumped onto Goku.
"He lost!" Goku exclaimed. Everyone rushed to get Vegeta off him.
"My turn!" Goten exclaimed. He jumped up on the table and grinned. "What do you want me to do?"
"…" Goku got an *evil* idea to get Vegeta mad:
"Kiss Adrienne!"
"Da-ad!" Goten whined, blushing.
"Oh, but I thought that *was* his talent!" Everyone but Vegeta, Goten, and Adrienne found Bulma's outburst funny and laughed.
"How about shove a piece of mistletoe up his a-" Bulma elbowed him. "OW!"
"Don't finish that suggestion, Vegeta!"
"You can…" Adrienne thought for a minute. "You can-"
"Do that coin trick you wanted to do!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Coin trick…?" Goten looked puzzled. "Coin trick- Tru-unks!"
Trunks started laughing. Yamcha looked at Trunks. "What coin trick?"
"It's an inside joke, you wouldn't get it." Goten said.
"No it's not-"
"Shut up!"
"Hm… getting *more* images…" Vegeta said. He smirked and cocked his head.
"How about you balance with one foot on a toothpick?" Krillin asked. "You can't fly or hover to help balance, that's cheating!"
*~*~*
Goten stood up on the toothpick, and it was sent into splinters immediately. "Oh, man!"
Goten went to stand up on the toothpick, but it fell over. "Krillin!"
Goten stood up on the toothpick, but it broke right down the middle and went into halves. "Man!"
Goten stood up on the toothpick. "Ta da!" CRACK! "Huh???" The toothpick broke underneath him and he fell on his behind. Everyone laughed and Goten stood up. "Ow!" He started walking back over to his seat. "Ow! …Ow! …Ow!"
"Okay, who wants to go next?" Bulma asked as Goten sat down next to Adrienne and put his arm back around her.
"Gohan! Gohan!" Everyone cheered. Gohan sighed and got on top of the table.
"Okay, what do I do…?"
"Shove a carrot up your nose!" Videl teased.
"Ha ha, very funny…" Gohan said, almost glaring at his wife. Videl shrugged with a smile.
"Stuff marshmallows in your mouth!" Goten suggested.
"Alright…" Gohan said. He took a bag of marshmallows from the table and opened the bag. He stuffed the first one in and then another. He started bobbing his head to the left and right on the third one. As he opened his mouth to stick in number six, one of the others fell out. He looked at the ground where it lay. "Oh, sfoot!"
Everyone laughed as Gohan managed to stick in another. He got to number nine, and he was trying his best to keep his mouth shut. He went to stick the ninth marshmallow in, when most of the marshmallows came shooting out. One even hit Vegeta!
"Hey!"
"Forry, Vegeta!" Gohan swallowed the rest of the marshmallows. "That was hard!"
"Who's going next?" Eighteen asked, looking around.
"Me!" Trunks jumped on top of the table. "What should I do?"
"You have to kiss Deho!" Adrienne exclaimed, holding the excited Deho up.
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Trunks screamed and fell backwards off the table. Adrienne blinked.
"Trunks?"
"Okay, what should I do?" Videl asked, as it came to be her turn.
"Shove a carrot up *your* nose and see how *you* like it!" Gohan declared. He crossed his arms. Videl frowned.
"I've got it!" Adrienne exclaimed. "You can skateboard!"
"Skateboard…?" Videl didn't like the sound of that.
"Yeah!" Adrienne nodded. "I'll go get mine!"
Adrienne ran into Capsule Corp. and came back a few minutes later. "Sorry! Apparently Grandpa was still making adjustments!"
"Ad…justments?" Videl didn't like the sound of that, either.
"He was just testing out some new bearings, that's all." Adrienne said. She handed her skateboard to Videl. "Don't demolish it, okay?"
Adrienne sat back down. "Wait, you need to tell me what to do!" Adrienne laughed and stood back up again.
"Okay, stand on it."
"Stand on it!?"
"This might take a while." Chi-Chi said. Goku sighed and threw a marshmallow at the back of Adrienne's head. Seeing as he was sitting behind Goten, his son took all the blame:
"Hey, Goten, cut it out!"
"What?" Goten looked around. "I didn't do anything!"
"*Sure* you didn't!" Adrienne turned back to Videl and helped her onto the skateboard. Adrienne let go and Videl started falling backwards. Adrienne caught her. "Gohan!" Gohan jumped up and pushed Videl back up onto the skateboard. "Now all you have to do is push it along with your foot!"
*~*~*
"Hey, I'm doing it!" Videl exclaimed. "I'm skateboarding!"
"YAY!!!!!!!" Everyone clapped. Sure it was all well and good until Videl realized that she was headed *straight* for Capsule Corp.
"Adrienne, how do you *stop* this thing!?" Videl asked.
"Uh-oh!" Gohan exclaimed.
"All you have to do is-" Adrienne stopped, realizing that Videl wasn't listening. "Oh, forget it!"
Adrienne disappeared and reappeared in front of Capsule Corp., right in Videl's way. She began to freak out: "AH! No! This is not where I wanted to go!"
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Adrienne came to her senses and pushed Videl off the skateboard, but the force of the push sent her flying backwards into Capsule Corp. The smoke cleared and Videl sat there on the ground, Adrienne was squished against the wall of Capsule Corp.
"Ow…!"
*~*~*
So after Goku did his 'disappearing act' (making Chi-Chi disappear), the amount of remaining contestants for the "It's Not My Talent Show" were narrowing.
"Okay, okay, Adrienne's turn!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Alright!" Adrienne jumped on top of picnic table and pulled her pants up. They fell back down to her hips and Goten laughed. She frowned. "Why is *so* funny!?"
"You're so scrawny!" Goten laughed. "Why don't you just wear a belt or something?"
"Well, excuse me!" Adrienne crossed her arms.
"Okay, I've got one!" Pan exclaimed. She held up a Styrofoam container. "Eat ten of these worms!"
"Ew, Pan, no!" Videl shook her head.
"Go on," Pan grinned. "*Prove* you're better than me, Adrienne!"
Adrienne took the Styrofoam container from her. She observed the cup, then opened it. She shrugged and pulled a worm out. She held it up high in the air above her mouth, letting it wriggle for everyone to see.
"She's not gonna do it." Goten said. Gohan nodded.
"She is!" Adrienne dropped the worm, letting it slide down her throat.
"EWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Adrienne!" Everyone shielded their eyes but Pan. Adrienne pulled out another and dropped it down her throat.
"Gross!" Videl observed.
"D'oh…!" Deho covered his eyes with his paws. Adrienne continued this until she got to ten.
"DARN!!!!!!!!" Pan jumped up.
"Your turn, Pan." Adrienne said, holding out the Styrofoam cup. Pan went pale and Adrienne laughed. Her stomach growled. "Uh-oh…" Adrienne dropped the Styrofoam cup, jumped over the picnic table, and fell to her knees puking.
"Ew…." Pan said.
"Are you okay?" Goten asked, walking over.
"Do you have a napkin?" Adrienne asked, holding out her hand. Pan looked around, grabbed a napkin and handed it to her. "Thanks."
Adrienne wiped her mouth and stood up. She looked at her puke, and in the midst of it lay nine, wriggling, live worms. She turned her head sideways and spit out the last one.
"That was… *so* gross!" Pan exclaimed. Goten nodded.
Goten rang the doorbell and waited for somebody to open the door. He swallowed as he heard footsteps coming towards the door. "Please don't let it be Vegeta, PLEASE don't let it be Vegeta…!"
The door opened and Adrienne stood there, rubbing her eyes. She was still in her pajamas: an orange long-sleeved shirt with gray sweatpants. She realized it was Goten and smiled. "Goten!" Adrienne threw her arms around him, embracing him in a tight hug.
"Um… this is new." Goten said. Adrienne finally let go.
"Come in!" Goten stepped inside and closed the door behind him. Adrienne yawned. "What are you doing up so early?"
"What are YOU doing up so early?" Goten asked. Adrienne smiled and shrugged in a girly-like way.
"I dunno!" Goten laughed.
"You're very lightheaded when you get up in the mornings, aren't you?" Adrienne hit him playfully.
"I am not!" The two laughed.
"Okay, well, I brought you these." Goten held out a bunch of flowers tied together with a red ribbon. They were the same kind Goten had given to her as a child: yellow roses. Adrienne stared at the flowers, and went into a flashback. She was young, standing in a field full of daffodils, her hair blowing in the wind. Someone was holding her hand, and they were looking at a grave. There were yellow roses surrounding it. "Whoops! I forgot you don't like flowers!"
Adrienne popped back into reality and looked up at Goten. She shook her head. "No, I like flowers!"
"Huh?" Adrienne took the flowers from him and stared at them.
"Thank you… they're beautiful."
"Well it's nice to see you've changed!"
"I'm sorry I was so mean to you." Adrienne apologized.
"It's okay!" Goten said, shaking his hands. "I know why, anyway!"
"Well, I just thought I'd tell you that-"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goten and Adrienne rushed up the stairs towards the direction of the scream. They opened Trunks' door.
"What? What is it!?"
"It's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!" Trunks whined. He was sitting cross-legged on his bed. He pointed at a little red thing on his pillow. "Adrienne, come get the stupid thing!"
Adrienne giggled as the little red ball on Trunks' pillow got up and started walking towards him. It made a funny noise that sounded like: "Myow-myow!" Trunks screamed as it continued walking towards him.
"ADRIENNE, STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"It's a gay little dinosaur, isn't it, Trunks?" Adrienne teased. Bulma (who had just arrived) smiled.
"It sure is! It's happy *right* where it is!" The little red dinosaur had a hold of Trunks' leg and he was nuzzling him.
"Quit teasing me with the opposite definition of gay!" Trunks yelled. He shook his leg, causing the tiny dinosaur to tumble backwards. "Now *stay* there!"
"Oh, Trunks!" Adrienne ran forward and picked the little red dinosaur up. It stood on her hand and she poked its stomach. It giggled with its high voice and Adrienne smiled. "It's cute! Don't you think, Goten?"
"Eheheheh!" Goten laughed nervously, looking at the little dinosaur. It was red with peach pads on its hands and feet, and it had small yellow spikes running from the tip of his tail all the way up his back. It held up its hands and opened its mouth, causing Goten to scream ("EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!") and take a step backwards. Adrienne laughed.
"How about that, little guy? You can even scare Goten!"
"Deho!" The little dino exclaimed. Adrienne giggled, then looked at her mother.
"Mom, can I keep him?"
"*What*!?" Trunks screamed. Bulma smiled.
"Go ask your grandparents." Adrienne smiled.
"Okay!"
"But, Adrienne, what if you roll over on top of it in your sleep?" Goten asked. "You could injure yourself or even *kill* the thing!"
"…I don't roll over in my sleep."
"Oh…."
"But still!" Trunks yelled. Adrienne shrugged and walked out into the hall.
"Grandma, I have a *question*!" Adrienne yelled.
"Mom, tell me you're not *really* gonna let her keep that thing!" Bulma shrugged.
"Why not…?" Trunks sighed as his mother walked off. His desperate attempts were so helpless!
*~*~*
"See, Goten?" Vegeta asked. Vegeta pointed at the red dinosaur (who was in Adrienne's hands). "That's one of the horrible little monsters I'm going to feed you to. Demonic little boogers, aren't they?"
"Um….yeah." Goten nodded. Like he was *really* gonna let Vegeta feed him to those! ….But he might as well play along!
"Who wants to watch home-made movies?" Goku asked.
"Me!" Everyone's hand shot in the air. Everyone had had a cookout at Capsule Corp., being invited by Bulma, of course. Goku grinned. So most of the men started hooking the TV up outside. "Hey, Adrienne!"
"What is it, Pan?" Adrienne leaned over.
"I'm going to prove I'm better than you in the "It's Not My Talent Show" after this!" Pan exclaimed.
"Really?" Adrienne asked.
"Yep!"
"Well congratulations on your loss!" Adrienne said, holding out her hand. Pan smiled and shook her hand. She stopped.
"Huh!?"
"Okay, okay!" Goku announced. "First movie!"
Goku sat down next to Adrienne. "Which one is this?"
"Just wait." Goku said. (A/n: If it's in these things: [ ], then it means it's the tape. If it's not, then it's not on the tape) [The TV started and they appeared to be in a gymnasium. The camera turned to look at Chi-Chi.]
["Goku, Goten's up next!"]
"I know, I know!" Goku exclaimed. The camera turned to the left to see Vegeta, Bulma, [and Trunks. The camera zoomed in on Vegeta's white shirt which said: "Christmas=Death". The camera zoomed back out and zoomed in on Trunks' shirt this time. It said: "Be Naughty, Save Santa the Trip". The camera zoomed back out and Chi-Chi yelled:]
["There's Goten!"]
["Come on, Goten!" Gohan cheered. The "Chicken Dance" music started up and all of the kids started doing the "Chicken Dance".] Adrienne started doing the movements in her seat, making Goku snicker. [Goten looked at Adrienne and exclaimed:]
["Look, Adrienne, I can spin REALLY fast!"] Everyone started snickering and Goten blushed. [Goten started spinning around and Chi-Chi hit her forehead. Goku started laughing and Chi-Chi looked up:]
["Goku, it's not funny!"]
["Sorry, Chi-Chi!" Goten continued spinning until:]
["Whoa!" Goten couldn't control his spinning. Goten spun into Adrienne and Vegeta stood up and cupped his hands to his mouth:]
["Booooooooooo!!!!!" (on the tape)]
["Shut up, Vegeta!" Bulma yelled.]
"Oh-ho-ho!" Everyone said. Vegeta went red.
"This is the best part!" Gohan exclaimed. They all looked back at the TV just in time to see Goten spin into one of the loudspeakers and knocked it over. The screen cut off and everyone laughed. Goten's cheeks were flaring, but he still got a good kick out of it.
"Next tape!" Goku exclaimed, jumping up.
"Wait, where's Deho (pronounced day-ho)?" Adrienne asked, jumping up.
"Deho?" Everyone looked confused.
"My little dinosaur…!" Adrienne whined. Trunks screamed and jumped onto the picnic table.
"There it is!" Goten exclaimed.
"*WHERE*!?" Trunks looked around frantically.
"In your *hair*!" Goten exclaimed.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Trunks screamed like a girl and started trying to brush it out of his hair. Goten cracked up laughing. "Goten!"
"He's right here." Bulma said, pointing at the ground. Deho had propped himself up on the leg of the picnic table, and was trying to get to Trunks. Trunks screamed again and Adrienne picked him up.
"Come here, cutie!" Adrienne lifted him up and started petting him.
"What… is it?" Gohan asked.
"Deho!" Adrienne held him up for everyone to see. All of the men (except Goku) screamed and jumped on top of the picnic table. Deho whined and let his arms hang. "Ohhhh! Poor thing!"
"Hey there, little guy!" Goku pet Deho. "He's cute!"
"Definitely!" All of the women (and Pan and Goku) started crowding around Deho.
"How come all the men think it's demonic?" Adrienne asked.
"I don't!" Goku declared.
"But it is…" Trunks whined.
"Is not," Adrienne shot back.
"It *is*! Adrienne, put that thing back in its- well, take it back to wherever it came from!" Vegeta demanded.
"It came from Trunks' room, Dad!"
"Then take it back to the garden! Or better yet, let the little demon free, where it can run and frolic and be happy until the day it gets stepped on!!" Adrienne gasped and pulled Deho close.
"Dad, you're hurting his feelings!"
"It's a demon! It doesn't have feelings!" Deho wriggled free of Adrienne's grasp and stood on her shoulder. He screamed a little dinosaur scream and jumped on Vegeta's face. Vegeta screamed.
"Vegeta, I told her she could keep it. Leave the poor thing alone!"
"Leave it alone!? It's attacking my face!" Meanwhile, Goku had been searching through the tapes and pulled one of them out.
"Let's watch this one!" he said. Adrienne pulled Deho off of Vegeta and stuck him in her pocket. Vegeta glared at the little thing as it popped his head out of the pocket. Deho glared back and growled. Vegeta spit his tongue out at the dinosaur, and Deho copied him.
"Quit copying me!"
"Dad, leave Deho alone!"
"Nyah-nyah!" Deho said in a cute little voice. Vegeta glared at Deho and muttered:
"If you weren't my daughter's pet…" Deho squeaked in horror and slipped his head back inside the pocket. Goku gave Vegeta an odd look, stuck in the tape, and pushed the play button.
"Hey, this is our big Capsule Corp. Christmas party!" Bulma exclaimed after a few minutes.
"Sure is," Eighteen said. Chi-Chi nodded.
"Isn't this the one where Gohan got a carrot stuck up his nose?" Trunks asked. Goku shook his head.
"No, that was the year before."
"Oh."
"Too bad," Goten said.
"Yeah," Gohan said sarcastically. "Such a shame." Videl laughed.
"That really is too bad," she said. "You probably looked cute with a carrot up your nose." Gohan's face went red and he laughed nervously.
"Eheheh…"
"Shhh!" Vegeta hissed. "This is the only one I got to film, so be quiet and let me enjoy it!" Everyone went back to watching the tape.
["Hey, guys!" Bulma greeted Goku, Gohan, Chi-Chi, and a very excited Goten at the door.]
["Where's Trunks?" Goten asked.]
["He's in the other room playing." Bulma said.]
["Okay!" Goten ran off into the other room and the camera went back to Goku. Goku noticed the camera was watching him.]
["Vegeta, what are you doing?" Vegeta laughed. "What? I don't get it!"]
["It's nothing, Goku," Bulma said. "I told him I would give him twenty bucks if he could be nice to you all night. I guess he's just staying around you to make sure I notice his 'good behavior'."]
[Goku laughed. "Good behavior!?" Goku laughed again.]
["Shut up, Kakarott!" Vegeta yelled.]
["You lost!" Goku pointed out. He laughed again. "I knew it would get you!"]
"Dad, he got you pretty good!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Oh, shut up!" Vegeta shot back.
["Hi, guys!" Bulma met Krillin, Eighteen, and Marron at the door. "Come on in!" Bulma turned to see the camera watching her. "Vegeta, turn that thing off!"]
[The camera cut back on and everybody was in the living room, having a good time. The camera went over to the Christmas tree, where Trunks was. "Trunks, what are you doing?" Vegeta's voice came.]
[Trunks grinned up at him: "Nothing!"]
["It must be something…!" Vegeta said. "I sense a 'present-shaker'!" Trunks cracked up laughing. "Well? Am I not correct? A little mouse is attempting to figure out what his presents are!" Trunks started laughing again.]
["Are you trying to show Mom you can be nice for *once*?"]
["Why you little!" The camera shut off.]
Everyone looked at Vegeta. "……what!?"
[The camera cut back on and they were in the living room again. "Hey, old man!" Vegeta yelled.]
["What is it?" Vegeta turned the camera to face Master Roshi, who was looking very puzzled. The camera slowly began to bounce.]
["Take the camera!"]
["Why?" Master Roshi asked.]
["Just do it!" Vegeta yelled. The camera began to bounce more fiercely. Master Roshi grinned.]
["What's wrong, Vegeta? Having a personal crisis over there?" Vegeta growled and the camera flew at Master Roshi.]
["Just take over until I get back!" Vegeta ran off down the hall as Master Roshi began to film. The camera scanned the room. Everyone was talking or shaking presents (a/n: *coughGokucough*). Goten and Trunks ran into the room.]
["Dad, Dad!" Goku quickly put down the present and looked up at his son innocently.]
["What is it, Goten?"]
["Can me and Trunks go blow some holes in the snowmen we built!?" he asked eagerly. Goku laughed.]
["That kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?" The two Chibi-Saiyans looked at each other in confusion.]
["What?" they asked in unison.]
["Never mind. Go ahead, guys!"]
["Yay!" Both boys went to run out the door.]
["Take Adrienne with you!"]
["Aw, Uncle Goku!" Trunks whined. "Do we have to?" Adrienne laughed.]
["C'mon, Trunks, let's go blow some holes in those snowmen!" she said. Adrienne, Goten, and Trunks ran out the door. Bulma walked by with a tray of Christmas cookies as the door closed behind them, and the camera decided to follow. She stopped to set down the tray and began to talk to Eighteen, who was holding Marron on the other side of the counter. The camera zoomed in on Bulma's behind.]
Everyone looked at Master Roshi. He coughed and quickly came up with an excuse. "I wanted to know what brand of jeans she was wearing!" he exclaimed. "See!? They're…" he quickly began looking for a label. "Oh shoot, wrong side!" Vegeta jumped on Master Roshi.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!" Deho popped his head out of Adrienne's pocket and started cheering Vegeta on with a few one-two punches of his own. Gohan looked at Goten.
"Do you have any objection?" he asked.
"No."
"Okay." Everyone went back to watching the movie. After a few minutes, Goku sighed.
"Stupid guilty conscience," he muttered. "VEGETA!" Goku walked back to where the two men were struggling and started to help Roshi. No one seemed to notice or care.
[Vegeta walked back into the room. "Alright, give it back." He paused. "Roshi, what are you doing?" Roshi didn't answer. "Roshi! Hey, old man!" Suddenly, Vegeta gasped. "WHY ARE YOU STARING AT MY WIFE!!!!??? ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Roshi screamed, and the camera fell sideways and shut off as it collided with the ground.]
"You go, Vegeta!" Bulma cheered.
"I think that's the end of that one," Chi-Chi said. "Which one do you want to watch now?" Gohan stood up and searched through the tapes. He laughed.
"How about this one?" He ejected the previous tape and entered the new one.
["Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!" Bulma, Adrienne, Trunks, and Bra were standing around behind a very sullen Vegeta, who was wearing a bright red birthday hat. He had his arms crossed and was glaring at the birthday cake in front of him. On the cake, written in red icing, were the words "Happy Birthday, Veggie!"]
"Vegeta, you look so cute with that birthday hat!" Bulma said. Vegeta muttered something as he made his way to his seat. Goku was helping Master Roshi up in the back.
[Goten walked up behind the 'camera-man'. "Hey Dad, are you getting all this?"]
["Yeah," Goku answered. The camera scanned the table, where the whole group was sitting. Chi-Chi noticed the camera and waved. The camera slowly made it's way back to Vegeta.]
["Happy birthday, dear Vegeta!" The group continued to sing. "Happy birthday to you!!"]
["Now blow out your candles!" Bulma told him.]
["No," Vegeta said.]
["Why not?"]
["They're trick candles, I know it! You did it last time, and you've done it again!"]
["But Vegeta, they're not-"]
["Darn it, woman, I'm not a child! As if this birthday nonsense weren't humiliating enough!" Vegeta shook his head. "I'm not blowing out those candles!"]
["Then I guess you won't be getting any presents!" Bulma said. She started to pick up the wrapped gifts on the table and glared at him. "Especially *mine*." Vegeta gasped.]
["You wouldn't *dare*!" In response, Bulma went back to picking up the presents. "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!" Bulma put the presents back down and smiled.]
["Make a wish, Daddy," Adrienne said.]
["I'll make a wish, alright," Veggie muttered. "I WISH YOU'D TURN OFF THAT STUPID CAMERA!" Goku laughed.]
["Sorry, Vegeta, no can do! Gotta save this for the grandkids, right Chi-Chi?" Chi-Chi grinned and nodded. Vegeta muttered something and took a deep breath.]
"Don't do it, Vegeta! It's a trick!" Vegeta yelled at himself. "They're all a bunch of liars!" Bulma glared and hit Vegeta over the head. "Ow!"
[Vegeta blew on the candles- hard. Nothing happened. Vegeta blew again, but they didn't go out. Vegeta continued to blow until his face turned purple.]
"I told you!" Vegeta yelled.
"Hey Vegeta," Goku said. "You're turning into a Kai!"
"Shut up, Kakarott!"
["I knew it! You set me up!" the Vegeta onscreen yelled.]
["Again!" Trunks said. "I can't believe you fell for it!"]
["*Again*!" Goku exclaimed in-between laughter. Vegeta growled.]
["I hate you all! That's it, no more birthdays for me!" He stood up and threw down his birthday hat. He looked up at Goku and narrowed his eyes. "Darn it, Kakarott! Would you shut that thing off!?" Vegeta picked up his hat and threw it at Goku.]
["Aw, c'mon, Dad!" Trunks said. "It was just a joke!"]
["Yeah," Adrienne said. "Why don't you open your presents?" Vegeta crossed his arms.]
["No, I don't want to."]
["Hey Mom, why don't you give him yours?" Trunks asked in a sly tone. Bulma glared at her son.]
["Say one more word and you're grounded for a month!"] Everyone laughed and Trunks blushed.
"I got grounded…"
"Okay, I think we should start the 'It's Not My Talent Show'." Chi-Chi said. "It'll be dark in a little while…"
"Okay!" Bulma nodded.
*~*~*
"Alright, does anyone have any suggestions for me?" Vegeta asked. They were all silent for a minute.
"Be nice to Goku!"
"Yeah!" Vegeta mumbled something.
"Kakarott, get up here!" Goku grinned and climbed onto the picnic table, standing beside Vegeta. "How long do I have to be nice?"
"The total of a minute!"
"Thirty seconds!"
"Alright," Vegeta turned to Goku. "Nice, day, huh, Kakarott?"
"Yeah, if you're a prissy boy who likes blue skies." Goku said.
"YOU UGLY FOOL!!!!!!!!" Vegeta jumped onto Goku.
"He lost!" Goku exclaimed. Everyone rushed to get Vegeta off him.
"My turn!" Goten exclaimed. He jumped up on the table and grinned. "What do you want me to do?"
"…" Goku got an *evil* idea to get Vegeta mad:
"Kiss Adrienne!"
"Da-ad!" Goten whined, blushing.
"Oh, but I thought that *was* his talent!" Everyone but Vegeta, Goten, and Adrienne found Bulma's outburst funny and laughed.
"How about shove a piece of mistletoe up his a-" Bulma elbowed him. "OW!"
"Don't finish that suggestion, Vegeta!"
"You can…" Adrienne thought for a minute. "You can-"
"Do that coin trick you wanted to do!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Coin trick…?" Goten looked puzzled. "Coin trick- Tru-unks!"
Trunks started laughing. Yamcha looked at Trunks. "What coin trick?"
"It's an inside joke, you wouldn't get it." Goten said.
"No it's not-"
"Shut up!"
"Hm… getting *more* images…" Vegeta said. He smirked and cocked his head.
"How about you balance with one foot on a toothpick?" Krillin asked. "You can't fly or hover to help balance, that's cheating!"
*~*~*
Goten stood up on the toothpick, and it was sent into splinters immediately. "Oh, man!"
Goten went to stand up on the toothpick, but it fell over. "Krillin!"
Goten stood up on the toothpick, but it broke right down the middle and went into halves. "Man!"
Goten stood up on the toothpick. "Ta da!" CRACK! "Huh???" The toothpick broke underneath him and he fell on his behind. Everyone laughed and Goten stood up. "Ow!" He started walking back over to his seat. "Ow! …Ow! …Ow!"
"Okay, who wants to go next?" Bulma asked as Goten sat down next to Adrienne and put his arm back around her.
"Gohan! Gohan!" Everyone cheered. Gohan sighed and got on top of the table.
"Okay, what do I do…?"
"Shove a carrot up your nose!" Videl teased.
"Ha ha, very funny…" Gohan said, almost glaring at his wife. Videl shrugged with a smile.
"Stuff marshmallows in your mouth!" Goten suggested.
"Alright…" Gohan said. He took a bag of marshmallows from the table and opened the bag. He stuffed the first one in and then another. He started bobbing his head to the left and right on the third one. As he opened his mouth to stick in number six, one of the others fell out. He looked at the ground where it lay. "Oh, sfoot!"
Everyone laughed as Gohan managed to stick in another. He got to number nine, and he was trying his best to keep his mouth shut. He went to stick the ninth marshmallow in, when most of the marshmallows came shooting out. One even hit Vegeta!
"Hey!"
"Forry, Vegeta!" Gohan swallowed the rest of the marshmallows. "That was hard!"
"Who's going next?" Eighteen asked, looking around.
"Me!" Trunks jumped on top of the table. "What should I do?"
"You have to kiss Deho!" Adrienne exclaimed, holding the excited Deho up.
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Trunks screamed and fell backwards off the table. Adrienne blinked.
"Trunks?"
"Okay, what should I do?" Videl asked, as it came to be her turn.
"Shove a carrot up *your* nose and see how *you* like it!" Gohan declared. He crossed his arms. Videl frowned.
"I've got it!" Adrienne exclaimed. "You can skateboard!"
"Skateboard…?" Videl didn't like the sound of that.
"Yeah!" Adrienne nodded. "I'll go get mine!"
Adrienne ran into Capsule Corp. and came back a few minutes later. "Sorry! Apparently Grandpa was still making adjustments!"
"Ad…justments?" Videl didn't like the sound of that, either.
"He was just testing out some new bearings, that's all." Adrienne said. She handed her skateboard to Videl. "Don't demolish it, okay?"
Adrienne sat back down. "Wait, you need to tell me what to do!" Adrienne laughed and stood back up again.
"Okay, stand on it."
"Stand on it!?"
"This might take a while." Chi-Chi said. Goku sighed and threw a marshmallow at the back of Adrienne's head. Seeing as he was sitting behind Goten, his son took all the blame:
"Hey, Goten, cut it out!"
"What?" Goten looked around. "I didn't do anything!"
"*Sure* you didn't!" Adrienne turned back to Videl and helped her onto the skateboard. Adrienne let go and Videl started falling backwards. Adrienne caught her. "Gohan!" Gohan jumped up and pushed Videl back up onto the skateboard. "Now all you have to do is push it along with your foot!"
*~*~*
"Hey, I'm doing it!" Videl exclaimed. "I'm skateboarding!"
"YAY!!!!!!!" Everyone clapped. Sure it was all well and good until Videl realized that she was headed *straight* for Capsule Corp.
"Adrienne, how do you *stop* this thing!?" Videl asked.
"Uh-oh!" Gohan exclaimed.
"All you have to do is-" Adrienne stopped, realizing that Videl wasn't listening. "Oh, forget it!"
Adrienne disappeared and reappeared in front of Capsule Corp., right in Videl's way. She began to freak out: "AH! No! This is not where I wanted to go!"
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Adrienne came to her senses and pushed Videl off the skateboard, but the force of the push sent her flying backwards into Capsule Corp. The smoke cleared and Videl sat there on the ground, Adrienne was squished against the wall of Capsule Corp.
"Ow…!"
*~*~*
So after Goku did his 'disappearing act' (making Chi-Chi disappear), the amount of remaining contestants for the "It's Not My Talent Show" were narrowing.
"Okay, okay, Adrienne's turn!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Alright!" Adrienne jumped on top of picnic table and pulled her pants up. They fell back down to her hips and Goten laughed. She frowned. "Why is *so* funny!?"
"You're so scrawny!" Goten laughed. "Why don't you just wear a belt or something?"
"Well, excuse me!" Adrienne crossed her arms.
"Okay, I've got one!" Pan exclaimed. She held up a Styrofoam container. "Eat ten of these worms!"
"Ew, Pan, no!" Videl shook her head.
"Go on," Pan grinned. "*Prove* you're better than me, Adrienne!"
Adrienne took the Styrofoam container from her. She observed the cup, then opened it. She shrugged and pulled a worm out. She held it up high in the air above her mouth, letting it wriggle for everyone to see.
"She's not gonna do it." Goten said. Gohan nodded.
"She is!" Adrienne dropped the worm, letting it slide down her throat.
"EWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Adrienne!" Everyone shielded their eyes but Pan. Adrienne pulled out another and dropped it down her throat.
"Gross!" Videl observed.
"D'oh…!" Deho covered his eyes with his paws. Adrienne continued this until she got to ten.
"DARN!!!!!!!!" Pan jumped up.
"Your turn, Pan." Adrienne said, holding out the Styrofoam cup. Pan went pale and Adrienne laughed. Her stomach growled. "Uh-oh…" Adrienne dropped the Styrofoam cup, jumped over the picnic table, and fell to her knees puking.
"Ew…." Pan said.
"Are you okay?" Goten asked, walking over.
"Do you have a napkin?" Adrienne asked, holding out her hand. Pan looked around, grabbed a napkin and handed it to her. "Thanks."
Adrienne wiped her mouth and stood up. She looked at her puke, and in the midst of it lay nine, wriggling, live worms. She turned her head sideways and spit out the last one.
"That was… *so* gross!" Pan exclaimed. Goten nodded.
