A/N: Yo Minna! Chapter 2!! Enjoy!
Chichi stood dumbfounded, trying to absorb everything that had happened in the last twenty seconds. Bulma had burst into the hospital room, dragging a very long chain of martial artists with her, shouted at Goku who was currently wrapped up in plaster, and fainted. Now, what to do about that?
Goku was silently relieved that Bulma had passed out when she did. He hadn't known that just TOUCHING the new clear fusion-thingy would make it explode, honest, he didn't! But either way, it seemed that for the good of his remaining health, he would have to move to another planet sometime before Bulma woke up.
Vegeta, first in line of the chain, had been liberated from his wife's grip when Bulma had fainted. He then let go of Trunks' hair, who gratefully let go of Goten's ankle so he could straighten out his now mop-like hair-do. Goten sighed in relief and released Gohan's cape, which he'd been holding in a death-grip. He leaned back and rotated his foot, wincing as the bones cracked. Gohan let go of Videl's cape and frantically tried to remove the wrinkles from his own. Videl did like-wise, sweatdropping when she noticed Gohan had tears in his eyes as the fabric wouldn't smooth out. 18 glared at everyone.
They all simultaneously turned to look at Bulma, who was still sprawled out in the middle of the floor.
She twitched.
They blinked.
She twitched.
Someone coughed.
"So…" Chichi broke the silence, looking from one Z warrior to another, "Why, exactly, are you all… here?"
Vegeta, who had lost interest in the situation after the hollering at Goku had ceased, 'hmphed' and stalked out of the room. Trunks sweatdropped and turned to Chichi.
"Well, Chichi…" He began slowly, trying to sort things out himself as he attempted to explain, "I was in the kitchen with Goten, Mom and Dad… and Shiro, my mom's assistant at the office, came running through the door. He told Mom that her main laboratory had been destroyed and that Goku was on his way to Orange Star Hospital in an ambulance. Mom freaked out, screaming 'If he's not dead, I'll kill him!!' over and over." He looked over at Goku and added, "Goku-san, if I were you I'd move sometime soon. It's probably best for your health."
Goku gulped as Trunks voiced what he himself had been thinking earlier. 'Maybe Planet Yardrat would be far enough away… but then again, she DOES have a spaceship. Maybe the Kai Planet…'
Trunks continued his explanation, everyone listening, as some of them had no idea why they were there either. "Anyway, she grabbed dad by the arm and ran out of the kitchen like Buu was chasing her. Dad… unfortunately… had time to grab me and drag me along as well. (At this he rubbed his still throbbing head.) I guess I grabbed Goten… sorry Goten… anyway, I grabbed Goten and I don't know what happened after that." Trunks ended his explanation, running a hand through his hair and sweatdropping when a few strands fell out.
"I see…" Chichi obviously did NOT see.
"Oh! Oh!" Goten jumped up suddenly. "I know what happened next! Trunks grabbed my by the foot and Bulma took off and hauled us down the street. She kinda forgot the car, I guess. But anyway, I got dragged down the sidewalk for what felt like 20 blocks! Cause I couldn't get up with Trunks latched onto my ankle—" Trunks grinned sheepishly. "We were passing by the bank when I saw Gohan. I wanted to tell him that Dad was in the hospital but we were goin' too fast… geez, Bulma sure can run when she wants to… so I grabbed his cape, and I guess he snatched Videl's 'cause she's here too." Goten broke his speech for a moment and looked over to Team Saiyaman questioningly. "Why are you guys all dressed up anyway?"
The teenage crime-fighting duo yelped simultaneously. "THE BANK! THERE WAS A ROBBERY!" They shouted in chorus before darting clumsily for the door. Kuririn gasped as he, still attached to Videl's leg, was dragged along. 18 seized his arm before they were able to exit.
Everyone sans 18 sweatdropped at the couple, wondering how, exactly, you could forget to stop a robbery. Goku grinned.
Kuririn sighed wearily, untangling himself from the ribbons. "I can take it from there, Goten. 18 and I were just finishing some shopping at the new party place downtown… it's Marron's 1st birthday next week, you know. And you're all invited!... and that's when Bulma ran straight into me. I guess I got tangled in the party streamers." He flushed slightly, "Next thing I knew, I was being dragged down the street. Videl must have stepped in the ribbons."
18 finished the tale with, "I followed."
Chichi shook her head and stole at glance at Bulma, still unconscious. She couldn't stop herself from snickering a little bit. She could just imagine the scientist plowing through the crowds on Main Street with a chain of 7 warriors and a child waving behind her like a flag.
Chichi laughed out loud at the thought. "A-and the turban?" She said between giggles, and pointed at little Marron who had unwrapped the turban completely and was happily throwing the strip of cloth up into the air.
Goku started to laugh as well. "Poor Pic! He'll be missing that, I bet!"
No one could resist a grin, the absurdity of the situation finally sinking in, and making everything all the more hilarious.
Chichi was beside herself with laughter, and doubled over in hysterics as Kuririn pulled a rock out of his hair. She calmed herself as best she could, and 18 decided it was time to leave. They'd already lost the decorations for the party, and they would have to make another trip to the store before returning home. She lifted Marron into her arms and waving good-bye to everyone, left. Kuririn hurried to follow, turning back once he was by the door, wishing Goku well before exiting.
Trunks made for the door as well. "I'm gonna go find a doctor for my mom. Goten, can you prop her up or something? She'll be mad… uh, madder… if she wakes up on the floor." A nurse passed by pushing a stretcher and Trunks ran off to catch up with her. Goten did as his friend had asked and placed Bulma on a chair before walking over to his father. The demi-Saiyan noticed the cast for the first time-- yeah, the first time-- and gave Goku a funny look.
Goku grinned. "Hey son! Have fun with Trunks this afternoon?"
Goten smiled. "Yeah, Dad! But what happened to you?"
Goku laughed sheepishly and Chichi scowled, bopping the Saiyan on the back of the head before taking a seat next to him. "Ahh, I kind of messed around in Bulma's lab this afternoon, and—yup. Blew it up." He laughed again and Goten shook his head, grinning.
"Only you, Dad! Only you!"
*grins* Ok, ok, permission to spork me now. I left it off in a weird place. O.o But it felt kind of right in a way. *grins* And to anyone who caught that little semi-reference I made to one of my otehr fics, I'm guilty! :P Hope everyone enjoyed!
