The Good, the Bad, and the Sleep Deprived
Chapter 5
1 Warnings: *snort*
Disclaimer: Don't own shit. So there. Happy, now???? ^_^
Author's Note: Big ups to Mirai Trunks #1 Fangirl. Trunks' revenge was mainly her idea. She actually suggested this a while ago, but I just now put it into action. (I may have added onto it a bit, though…Just a bit…^^;;;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two terrors continued to stare at their reflections. How could this have happened? They weren't in this condition before… Chibi and Goten sniffed, then Goten turned to his friend.
"Trunks…?" Goten began.
"Don't say it, Goten!"
"But Trunks," he hiccuped. "I'm…we're…….BALD!!!!!!! WWAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Goten collapsed on the floor, tears streaming down his cherubic face. Chibi sighed. He had told him not to say it. But no… Apparently, some evil force had removed all the hair from their heads, and shaved off their eyebrows. Goten was lucky, though. His hair was completely gone. But Chibi Trunks, on the other hand, had one piece of lavender hair protruding from the center of his head with a frilly ribbon tied around it.
"Goten," Chibi said, attempting to quiet the boy.
Goten wouldn't calm down. Instead, he screamed even louder.
"Goten…" he said, his voice rising on each syllable.
Goten continued to whine.
"GOTEN!!!!!! SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!!!!!!"
The seven-year-old ceased his cries and reduced them to shallow whimpers. He bit his bottom lip to prevent further tears.
"C'mon, Goten! Be a man! Suck it up and move on!!" Chibi scolded.
Goten wiped away his tears and stood up. "Be a man, huh?" he muttered. "Funny coming from someone with no eyebrows and a pink and green ribbon in his barely-existent hair…"
Chibi blinked. "Pink…and…green…?"
He glanced in the mirror and sure enough, a pink ribbon stained with green streaks decorated his single lock of hair. Chibi narrowed his eyes at his reflection. He tugged on the ribbon, but it refused to budge. He sighed.
"Figures…"
Goten watched in confusion as his best bud walked away. Being the naturally curious boy that he is, he followed him. Moments later, they arrived in the kitchen where Bulma was getting an early start on dinner.
"Hey, mom?" Chibi asked innocently.
"Yes, Chibi?"
"Where's big brother?"
Bulma smiled. She was about to reveal Trunks' whereabouts when, at the last minute, she remembered that she had been sworn to secrecy. And Bulma, the technological genius, was not one to go off and blab secrets. (AN: Oh no, she'd NEVER do that….^_~)
"Well, he's out. But he should be back soon."
Bulma turned away from the counter to face the chibis. She gasped at what she saw. Immediately, Goten began to snivel, and Chibi glared at him for being so weak.
"Oh my…" she said, trying not to laugh.
At that moment, the door bell rang. Goten started to wail at the thought of anyone else seeing his hair…or lack thereof. Chibi, being Vegeta's son, simply frowned, but even he was beginning to worry.
Bulma walked to the door, opened it, and greeted the family on the other side. It was Krillin, 18, and Marron.
"Hi, guys. What brings you here?" Bulma asked, a smile on her face.
"To be honest, I don't really know," Krillin said. "I just got this feeling that there was something over here that I needed to see…"

Far away in some distant dimension, a teenage girl with dark brown hair typed profusely on her computer, grinning evilly. (Guess who…=P)
~*~
Overhearing the conversation, the boys' bottom lips began to tremble and their eyes filled with tears. Instinctively, Chibi refused to let his fall.
'I can't be seen this way. I'm…imperfect…' Chibi thought to himself.
As if hearing his thoughts, Goten grabbed Chibi's wrist and dragged him to the backyard to sit under their usual oak tree, affectionately nicknamed, "The-tree-that-will-one-day-uproot-itself-and-kill-us-all."
~*~
At the lookout, Mirai Trunks smirked. "Thanks a lot, Dende," he said.
"No prob…" he replied, chuckling at the usually shy boy's antics. He watched as Trunks powered up and flew down to Capsule Corp. He smiled and stood by the edge of the large platform, observing all that was taking place below. Now this was something he wanted to see.
~*~
Krillin sighed. He couldn't figure out why he was here. Whatever he needed to look at just wasn't where he was. Or so he thought. He gave up racking his brain and went off to spar with the Saiya-jin trio in the gravity room. 18 sat on the couch with Marron and chatted with Bulma.
Marron fidgeted on her mother's lap and wished that Chibi and Goten were around to play with.
What exactly are the obnoxious tykes up to, you may ask? Oh, they're not doing anything…dangerous…yet… They're just plotting heavy revenge on the man from the future. No, wait. Scratch that. *Chibi* was plotting heavy revenge on the man from the future. Goten was thoroughly confused. How did Chibi know who committed this awful crime? When he asked, Chibi just ignored him and rambled about how "big brother was going to die a slow and painful death."
Marron was two miles away from Sleepytown when someone came through the door. It was Mirai Trunks. Marron brightened. Finally, a playmate!
Bulma smiled at her future son. "I see you're normal again."
Trunks nodded, still grinning. "Where are Chibi and Goten?"
Bulma shrugged. Marron squealed, jumped off 18's lap, and latched herself onto Trunks' leg. Trunks stumbled slightly from the impact and patted the five-year-old on the head.
"Hi, Marron."
"Hi, Mr. Future-dude-guy-sir! I'm bored. Will you play with me?" (K, she's a prodigy and has very good grammar, so deal…*sweatdrop*)
"Um…sure…" Trunks said. "What would you like to play?"
"TEA PARTY!!!!!!!"
Trunks' eyes widened significantly. 18 and Bulma smiled. Oh yes. Trunks just LOVED tea parties…(*snerk*)
"Uh…Marron…? I don't think that's such a good idea… Remember what happened at the last tea party?"
Marron furrowed her eyebrows and engaged in deep thought. Then she smiled cheekily and chirped, "No worries!!! I'm sure you didn't mean to step on Beach Party Barbie!!"
"Yeah…she just walked right under my foot…"
"So, wanna play? Pwease…?" Marron begged, sticking out her lower lip and flashing the big, shiny Bambi eyes. No one can resist the Bambi eyes. No one. So, of course, Trunks was just another victim.
He sighed in defeat. "Sure…I'd love to play tea party with you…" he said dryly, knowing that he'd really regret it later.
Marron grinned and pulled out a backpack from hammer space. Trunks raised an eyebrow.
"This backpack has everything that we need for our party!! Come on!!!" she said, dragging Trunks upstairs to his room.
Bulma and 18 exchange glances.
"Isn't that cute?" 18 commented.
"Very. Do you think that this tea party will be anything like last time?" Bulma asked.
"Yes. Definitely."
"Poor Trunks. This just really isn't his day," Bulma said, giggling.
To Be Continued…
Now that everyone's established the fact that Trunks will NEVER sleep, the author has to find something else for him to do. In the meantime…what does Chibi plan to do to his counterpart? What will happen to Trunks at the tea party? What was so horrible about last tea party? Trunks was at a tea party??!!! Heheheh…next chapter shall be fun!! So look out for it!! …boy am I draggin' out this fic or what…? ^^;;;;
