Trunks sensed them and nodded to Gohan, who also nodded, and both took out their shampoo-filled balloon. As the two younger kids came into the room, all four launched their balloon attack.
~SPLAT!!!!!!~
Direct hit.
~*~
"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" screamed two voices in half-anger, half-surprise.
Apparently, the attack hadn't gone quite as planned. When the balloons were thrown, Goten's balloon went out the open window on the opposite wall. Gohan's balloon hit an innocent lamp, knocking it to the floor and smashing it to pieces.
Mirai and Chibi's balloons, however, hit actual people, but not the intended targets. When Chibi threw his balloon, Mirai stepped to the side, allowing it to hit Gohan instead.
Mirai Trunks, having made a slight miscalculation of the teenyboppers' height, threw it too high, causing it to hit the next person who entered the room.
Vegeta.
Ouch.
"Oh shit..." Mirai Trunks muttered under his breath. "Er...hi, dad...nice day?"
Vegeta's eye twitched and his fists clenched and unclenched.
Chibi watched Gohan, who just stood there, blinking.
"Um, Gohan...? I didn't mean to hit *you*..."
Goten inched away from his best friend and stood as far away as possible from the others. His balloon had gone out the window. He wasn't in trouble. And he planned to keep it that way.
Vegeta put his hand on his hair and touched the goo that was now oozing down his forehead. A vein pulsated on his neck and his face began to turn red from anger. He turned his attention to his future son, the latter attempting to shrink into his shoes.
"Tousan...I wasn't aiming for you...I was trying to..."
"Shut up, brat! What the hell did you throw at me????!!!!"
Mirai Trunks opened his mouth to answer and then closed it, scratching the side of his head with his index finger. He shrugged his shoulders.
"Uh...I dunno..."
"Hey..." Chibi began, "you didn't happen to use that stuff that was in the bottle on the top shelf of mom's lab, did you?"
"Yeah, why?" Mirai asked, now slightly curious.
Chibi's eyes widened. //Not again...//
"Chibi...what was that stuff?" Gohan asked, speaking up for the first time since the double ambush.
"Uh...heheh..." Chibi laughed nervously, rubbing his arm. "Oh, nothing. Nothing important."
Vegeta growled. "Tell us already!!!!"
Chibi flinched at his yell and took a deep breath. "Hey, dad, remember that shampoo that made your hair all weird and stuff?"
Vegeta's eye twitched again. (AN: He really oughta get that fixed...^_~) "You mean...you..." Not able to finish his sentence, he screamed in frustration and lunged at Mirai.
Vegeta slammed into Mirai and knocked him to the floor, his hands around his son's throat in an attempt to strangle him.
"Dad...can't...breathe..." Mirai choked out.
"I don't give a damn if you can breathe or not!! Do you realize what you've done to my hair???!!! I'm gonna have a fucking PINEAPPLE TREE stuck in the middle of my head!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!! Do you know how long it takes to get that kind of projection removed from your skull???!! Of course you don't!! You've never had a pineapple growing out of your cranium!!!!"
"S-s-sorry...but could you...let go...?"
Vegeta growled deeply, released him, and walked over to the mirror. Mirai Trunks got up and looked over at Gohan. He seemed a bit out of it.
"Gohan?"
Gaining no response from the hybrid, he walked over to him and gently shook his shoulders. Still no response. Mirai bit his lip and slapped him hard in the face.
Blinking, Gohan was awakened from his stupor.
And he was pissed.
"YOU!!!!!!!!" he said, pointing a finger at Chibi. "I wasn't even IN your damn war!!!! All I wanted was to come over here, find Trunks, and have a nice day of sparring. But noooo.I get dragged into your immature little game of pranks and now I have gooey shit all over my head, AND I'm in danger of having to walk around with a damn pineapple in my hair!!! Do you understand how humiliating that will be??? What's Videl gonna think??!! She's not gonna want to date some nerd with a pineapple on his head!!! My school life was bad enough without you two bastards having to screw everything up!!!"
Goten stood in the corner, gawking at his older sibling, not ever having seen him so upset. Mirai patted Gohan's shoulder in an attempt to console him.
"Uh...look on the bright side, Gohan..."
"WHAT BRIGHT SIDE???!!! There is NO bright side in this situation!!"
"Well...uh...I guess you're right..."
"'Ch. I can't believe I let myself get into this. I'm going to go wash this out of my hair," Gohan said, beginning to walk to the nearest shower. "I'm going to borrow a change of clothes, Trunks."
Mirai Trunks raised an eyebrow. "Well thanks for asking."
"I don't need to ask," Gohan said over his shoulder. "You owe me."
"Me?! I didn't...Chibi threw the balloon at you!!!"
"Yeah, well. You two are the same person."
Mirai Trunks rolled his eyes. "Must you remind me?"
"HEY!!!!!" Chibi said, miffed.
Mirai Trunks smirked at his younger self as Gohan walked down the hallway. Vegeta snorted and followed Gohan down the long corridor to take a shower in his bedroom.
After they had gone into their respective showers, the Chibi's face held a thoughtful expression.
"Ya know what?"
"What?" Mirai Trunks asked.
"I probably should have told them that water is what makes the pineapple tree grow."
Mirai Trunks and Goten's eye widened.
"Chibi...why didn't you say something earlier? Ya know, BEFORE they got into the shower???!!!"
Chibi shuffled his feet. "Well..."
"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Uh-oh..." Mirai, Chibi, and Goten said in unison.
