Trunks and Goten: The Teenage Years Chapter Nine: "A Slumber Par-tay!" "Jules, no one says par-tay anymore. That died out with yellow zoot suits and green masks."

Disclaimer: To make it easier, I only own my own characters. Anything I mention that isn't mine belongs to some important people.

A/N: Okay, to the reviewer that left me a long review on chapter 4. Thank you very much for taking such an interest in the fic and pointing out something that was in my mind at the time of writing that chapter. You're right, most high school boys would love to study reproduction and know all about it before they do anyway. Trunks and Goten, however, are not most high school boys. Goten has the Son gene, which makes him embarrassed about stuff like that but unlike his brother and father, he grows out of it as seen at the end of Z. Trunks…well anything to do with the opposite sex makes him uncomfortable anyways. It was only these two that were dreading the class, Lil Tak got used to the idea and the rest of the boys in the class I didn't focus on cos the story ain't about them. As for that certain part of their love lives, I tend not to focus on it because it's not an issue with the two main boys. Trunks is shy around girls (so he only pretends to hate them to still be manly), Goten wasn't in a serious relationship since Paresu so I don't focus on it. Hope that's cleared up a few things for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goten…

"Goten, why aren't we running?" Trunks asked.

"I don't know. It's like my legs are frozen with fear!" I gulped. "I don't know why. We're not usually scared of him."

"Maybe it's because he's not wearing those dorky red glasses." Trunks said.

"Don't talk about me like I am not here!" Gohan yelled. "Aren't you two supposed to be in school?"

"No…school ended four hours ago. It's eight pm Gohan." Trunks replied.

"But you were here since Fellowship started, weren't you? You skipped school to see this marathon, didn't you?" Gohan asked. Even the other kids were a little frightened.

"Yes…" We all chorused. Busted.

"Rem, maybe we should make our getaway now." Brad whispered. They slowly crept away as Gohan lectured the remaining teens. Good thing too, last thing we needed was another confrontation.

"You should know better than to come and see a film! Your education is more important! What if your parents found out?! Wouldn't they be ashamed?" Gohan asked. I had totally forgotten about what my mom would say. Oy.

"My parents wouldn't. As long as I didn't miss anything important." Alex said. Gohan gave him a hard stare. "But that's not the point you're trying to make so, you go ahead man."

"How can you justify yourselves? Hmm?" Gohan asked.

"Well it's not our fault Gohan the movie is way too good to resist I mean it's like THE trilogy of both our generations and I've never seen it on the big screen and these guys came to see it for their favourite characters and it's not like we broke the law or anything we don't have to go to school if we don't want to anymore because of legalities and stuff besides you should have been at work too so we're not the only ones in the wrong here!" I said, all in one breath, making desperate hand and facial gestures as I spoke.

"He's got a point Gohan." Trunks smirked.

"Which part? I got distracted with all the hand gestures…" Gohan said, avoiding eye contact.

"You were supposed to be at work! You're as much in the wrong as we are!" Trunks said.

"Yeah!" I agreed.

"Goten, you're the one who pointed it out." Juliana reminded.

"Oh yeah…" Whoops.

"Ooh, Gohan got busted!" A male voice called out.

"Shut up Nick!" Gohan yelled. Nicholas and David all walked over from where they were sitting.

"C'mon Gohan, they skipped and so did you. So call it even and no one shall speak of it again." David said. We smiled gratefully.

"Okay." Gohan sighed. "Just don't do it again."

"So, does Videl know you're here?" Trunks asked.

"Yes!" Gohan said, defensively. "She's in another theatre, watching Return of the King over and over until we're finished." Gohan looked over to his other friends who were acting our scenes from the movie. David flattened his popcorn box and surfed down the stairs. Gohan sighed. "They're gonna be like this all the way home."

"How can an old guy like that do a stunt like that?" Lil Tak asked.

"Check out that guy!" Alex said, as Nicholas took two sticks and twirled them around like twin knives.

"Hey! We're not that old." Gohan protested.

"You're in your late twenties Gohan, of course you're old." I replied. Gohan sweat-dropped, defeated.

"Hey, where's Remy?" Juliana asked.

"She's run off with that jock!" Trunks exclaimed. Oh crap, I'd hoped he would have forgotten.

"Just calm down Trunks. You wouldn't want anyone to embarrass you like that." I pleaded.

"Like what?"

"Like you're gonna do if I let you go." I said. Trunks smirked and sped out of the theatre. "And I knew he could do that. Damn." I sped after him.

"What's that all about?" Gohan asked.

"It's a long story Goten's brother." Alex replied. "Well I don't know about you but this is something I don't want to miss." Alex also ran out of the theatre, followed by Juliana and Lil Tak.

"Geez Gohan, what did you do? Threaten to keep them in detention?" Nicholas asked. Gohan stuck out his tongue.

Meanwhile…

"Ramona, you get your ass back here!" Trunks demanded as he caught up with the couple. I skidded in and stood off to the side. This was not going to be pretty.

"Crap." Remy muttered. "Um, hi?"

"That ain't gonna work." Trunks said.

"Trunks, you need to calm down before you bust that vein in your forehead."

"Don't take that tone with me. What are you doing with this scumbag?"

"This scumbag, Speedo-boy, has a name. Do you even know what it is?"

"No, but he's a jock and that's good enough for me." Trunks replied. There was a brief silence. Remy started to sniff. "Remy, don't start…"

"Why are you being so mean?!" Remy said, starting to cry. Trunks tried to talk but she bawled even louder, which almost drowned out the sound of clambering feet and out of breath teens.

"Damn, we missed stuff." Alex sighed.

"Remy, please stop crying!" Trunks pleaded. Remy was a smart girl; she knew Trunks had an Achilles' heel for crying girls. His conscience was almost as big as his ego. Almost.

"You egotistical Tony Soprano wannabe! Do you know what an ass you're behaving like right now? I am not a child Trunks, and I don't need to be protected!" She said, as she sniffed.

"I never said that you did but you girls…"

"What? Blindly go for a nice face. Just cos you're stalkers are like that doesn't mean I am. I'm the sensible one remember?"

"Sensible one?"

"Yep. You're the heartthrob, Goten's the cutie nice guy, Tak's the neurotic one and Jules is the brain. Doy."

"You're labelling us now?"

"Aren't you doing the same to Brad?"

"Yes, but that's because he deserves it."

"Can I speak now?" Brad said, standing in between the two of them. "Despite what people think of me Briefs, I'm nothing like Dominic. That's what this is all about. Whatever you may think, you couldn't have helped her anymore than you already did."

"You have no right to talk about that." Trunks said.

"But I'm right, aren't I? It wasn't your fault what happened to CJ."

"How is not my fault? I didn't protect her."

"You weren't supposed to. You need to stop blaming yourself and become a carefree kid again. Do you really think she'd want you to grow up 20 years to quickly?" Remy asked. Trunks looked defeated.

"No."

"We need to make mistakes so we can learn from them."

"Good one Remy." I said.

"Got it from a Full House episode." Remy replied.

"Briefs, I've known this girl for a long time and I like her a lot. At the moment, we're getting to know each other again so you don't need to worry. I'm not gonna hurt her or anything."

"That's good to know." Trunks said. "But try anything and I'll be on your back like a fungus on a foot."

"Eew, Trunks!" Juliana protested. "Now, can we please stop acting like a soap opera and get on with whatever we were gonna do."

"Get pizza!" I exclaimed.

"We didn't agree on that."

"Yeah, but I'm hungry." I said, making sure Brad and Remy had a distraction so they could make their exit.

"They're gone again!" Trunks exclaimed. "They disappeared like that old superhero detective guy."

"You mean Batman?" I asked.

"Shut up, you know it all." Trunks muttered as we headed for the pizza place.

A few weeks later…

(3rd person)

"So, how are things going between you and Brad?" Juliana asked. Remy blushed.

"Good."

"C'mon! Is that all you're giving me to go on?" Juliana asked. Remy laughed.

"Yes Ms Lane, that's all." Remy replied. Juliana looked at her with a blank face. "Aah, what I'd give to have someone who could identify my pop culture references."

"Whatever." Juliana said, shaking her head. She took out a long piece of paper from her purse.

"What's that for?"

"I'm planning a slumber party for my birthday."

"Aren't you a little old for that?"

"My dad won't allow any boys to the party so I may as well have a reason to mask it."

"Ahh."

"This is a list of all the people coming." Juliana said, handing it over to Remy. Remy's eyes widened.

"I am not coming."

"What?! You have to! It's for my birthday."

"Then I'll buy you something. I am not going to a slumber party. Let alone with those girls coming."

"Why not?"

"Bad memories from a sixth grade camping trick. It took the whole junior baseball team to stop them from laughing and mocking me."

"Kay, if you're done with the dramatics." Juliana rolled her eyes. "You are coming."

"What's in it for me?"

"You'll make me happy."

"You're gonna have to do better than that."

"Fine. I'll borrow my dad's Playstation 4 and you can play on that."

"That's better." Remy smiled.

"What's going on ladies?" Goten asked, walking up to them with the other boys.

"Jules is planning a party."

"A slumber par-tay!" Juliana beamed.

"Jules, no one says par-tay anymore. That died out with yellow zoot suits and green masks." Remy said. The rest of them looked at her blankly. She sighed. "Never mind."

"So…when do we bring the pyjamas?" Goten asked.

"You're not coming." Juliana said. Goten looked hurt.

"But why? We're you're friends as well." Goten said.

"It's a GIRLS party Goten."

"That's still bad. What did we ever do to you?"

"Don't take it personally Goten! My dad's the problem. And besides, boys don't usually go to slumber parties."

"Why not?"

"Ugh, never mind." Juliana sighed as she walked off to find more guests.

"I tell you what Goten, you can go in my place." Remy said. Goten's face brightened. Trunks shook his head and Goten looked sad again.

"You don't wanna go?" Trunks asked.

"It's not that. It's the girls she's invited. They all went to my old middle school and I don't like them."

"They've all dated Brad, haven't they?" Trunks asked.

"Does this whole Saiya-jin thing come with psychic powers to?" Remy asked, annoyed. "Not all, just one. The rest hate me because of a camping trip accident."

"That wasn't the incident with the porridge and poison ivy was it?" Lil Tak asked. Remy smiled sheepishly. "That was all over the news!! You mean you were the mastermind behind that plan."

"Yep. Me and a couple of other guys and girls." Remy said. "Well I suppose karma does exist after all. I'll see ya later."

"Damn, that's gonna be one good party. Too bad we'll never get to see it." Goten sighed.

"Never say never Son." Trunks said, with an evil smirk on his face.

Later…

"Now you're sure that Jules is out?" Trunks talked into a walkie-talkie.

"Affirmative Lavender Man. Skyscraper Dude is keeping her busy." Goten replied. Trunks snickered. "What?"

"You're too much of a Son to get it. Have you hooked the wire to the cable?"

"Roger."

"I'm Trunks."

"C'mon. Even I'm not that stupid."

"Sorry, couldn't resist. Okay, it's working. I've installed all the equipment. Let's go!"

"Roger. Over and out Lavender Man."

"Call me that again, and I'm burning all of your beanie babies."

"Mean."

Even later…

"Okay boys. Let's get cracking." Trunks said. They (Trunks, Goten, Lil Tak, Brad, Alex and Juliana's current boyfriend Danny) were all huddled in his living room with five different colour monitors in front of them. They were all cameras that were located in different parts of Juliana's house. The kitchen, the living room, her bedroom, the bathroom and the garden.

"Why do we have a camera in the garden?" Lil Tak asked.

"We gotta have one there. Just in case there's a catfight and someone gets thrown out of the window." Trunks replied. Most of the girls had already arrived. Remy was downstairs in the living room playing video games with Juliana's father and Juliana's mother was preparing food in the kitchen.

"This should be interesting."

At Juliana's…

"Oh my god, that's terrible!" Terri, the girl Remy was avoiding, shrieked.

"He had it coming! He spent more on his hair than I did." Juliana laughed. The doorbell rang. "I'LL GET IT!!" Juliana whizzed downstairs.

"You guys having fun?" Remy asked.

"Yeah. Talking about boys. The usual." Juliana replied as she answered the door.

"I'm telling you Mr K, it's a shame the way girls go on and on about boys like that." Remy said.

"Too true, why doesn't Juliana have more friends like you?" Mr Kanzaki asked.

"Cos I'm the only girl who can whoop your butt at Tekken 10." Remy smiled. Mr Kanzaki chuckled.

"Am I too late for the party?" A familiar voice said. Remy's eyes widened.

"It can't be…" Remy said, as a big grin appeared on her face.

Back at Trunks'…

"Ho-ly…" The boys all chorused.

"Not to paraphrase Janice but oh…my…god!" Goten exclaimed.

Back at Juliana's

"CJ! What are you doing here?" Remy said, engulfing her in a big embrace.

"I couldn't miss Jules' 16th!" CJ said, smiling.

Back at Trunks'…

"It's not her!! It's a clone like in Spider-Man!! She's smiling for kami's sakes!" Lil Tak exclaimed.

"Yeah, plus she looks like a total hot chick." Trunks commented. "Did she get highlights?"

"No, she's always looked that beautiful." Goten smiled. Trunks and Lil Tak looked at each other.

"Uh oh." Trunks mouthed.

Back at Juliana's…

"Okay, let's go upstairs so you can put your stuff away." Juliana said. "Who's the hottie that dropped you off?"

"My nephew." CJ said. Juliana looked confused. "Oldest sister's kid man."

"I see." Juliana said. Remy followed them.

"Aren't you gonna finish the game Ramona?" Mr Kanzaki asked.

"No thanks Mr Kanzaki!" Remy called. They walked into the room and the girls all looked up.

"CJ? Good to see you." All the girls chorused.

"Likewise, I'm sure." CJ smiled politely.

"Are you sure you went to private school and not obedience school?" Remy joked.

"Okay, I'm just gonna go change. Where's your bathroom?" CJ asked.

Back at Trunks'…

"Oh lord…Trunks turn off the bathroom monitor!" Lil Tak exclaimed.

"Are you kidding me? This is the whole reason we put a camera in the bathroom!" Trunks replied.

"Well, I can't look." Lil Tak said, covering his eyes. Goten looked undecided until CJ entered the bathroom. He quickly covered his eyes.

"Aw dammit, she's wearing a vest!" Danny said.

"Pervo." Goten muttered.

"Okay, she's exited the bathroom. Show's over people." Alex said.

Back to Juliana's…

"We were just about to play truth or dare." Juliana said to CJ.

"Cool." CJ replied.

"Okay, let's start with you Trina." Juliana said. The bubbly blonde giggled. Both Remy and CJ raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, um, I pick truth! No wait dare. Oops, sorry! Do over! I pick truth…or maybe dare. Oh I don't know! Someone pick for me!" Trina squealed. "But then if it goes badly I'll blame that person…arg!"

"Look, heads it's dare. Tails it's truth. Okay?" Juliana said.

"Okay!" Trina said. Juliana flipped the coin.

"Heads. It's dare." Juliana smirked. "I dare you to call this number and chat up the guy that answers." She wrote down a number and gave it to Trina, who was already laughing like a maniac.

"This should be interesting." Remy smiled.

"Why? Whose number is it?" CJ asked.

Back at Trunks…

"Oh man, I feel sorry for that guy." Trunks laughed. His house phone started to ring. All the boys froze. "That little wench."

"Are you gonna answer it?" Goten asked.

"Nope. No one else is home so they can just call some other sucker." Trunks said.

"Who is this?" Trunks almost paled.

"Dad?!" Trunks squeaked. Goten choked on his drink with laughter and laughed so hard he fell on the floor.

"Hi! This is the girl of your dreams." Trina giggled.

"Woman, I have told you a number of times not to call yourself that. It's creepy." Vegeta said.

"This isn't who you think it is."

"Kakarrot, have you been at the grape juice again?"

"I don't know who this Kaka person is…but I just called to say I love you." Trina sang her own rendition of the Stevie Wonder song.

"I think you have the wrong number baka."

"Oh no, it's the right number. And you're the right guy for me. I just wanna hold you, hug you, kiss you and…"

"SHUT UP YOU VILE WENCH AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Vegeta said as he hung up the phone. "Stupid fangirls, never give me a moments peace."

"AHAHAHA!! I CAN'T BREATHE!!" Goten yelped.

"Good, I hope it stays that way." Trunks muttered. "That experience was totally mind scarring."

Back at Juliana's…

"Oh my god!" The girls were dying with laughter.

"This game is old but a classic." Juliana smiled. "Now, Remy. It's your turn. Truth or dare."

"Truth." Remy said, gulping.

"Okay, who gave you your first kiss?" Juliana asked with a smile. Remy's jaw hit the floor.

Back at Trunks'…

The guys were still laughing too much to be paying any attention to the TV. That is, sans Brad. Who was suddenly very interested.

"SHUT UP!" He yelled. "Things just got interesting!"

Back at Juliana's…

"If I tell you, you're not going to believe me." Remy sighed.

"Go on!" The girls chanted.

"Okay." Remy sighed. "Joshua McCarthy."

"NO WAY!" Juliana yelled. "You lie!"

"Nope. It was a dare for him to kiss me. I think I was about 10 and he was 12." Remy said. "Thankfully for me, he seems to have repressed it."

"Joshua McCarthy! The hottest guy in our school! He's a senior!" Terri said. "You lie!"

"I swear on my entire collection of Spider-Man comics." Remy said.

"Woah…"

Back at Trunks'…

"That damn bastard." Brad muttered. "I remember that day all too well."

"Well he is one good looking guy." Alex said. The others looked at him. "What? He is."

A couple of hours later, back at Juliana's…

"Okay, now that we've eaten, done each others' make up and hair…" Juliana ticked off her list.

"Sans me." CJ said, with a wolfish grin. Juliana just stuck out her tongue.

"Okay, who wants to play Impressions?" Juliana asked.

"How do you play that?" Tanya asked.

"Okay, you basically act out a scene from a film or show. Or you can imitate someone you know and we have to guess who it is." Juliana explained. "Okay, Remy you go first."

"Why me?!" Remy asked.

"Cos you're a nut, that's why." Terri replied.

"Fine." Remy sighed. She took Juliana's desk chair and stood on it. "This is it."

"Ooh! The Tokyo Tower!" Trina shouted out.

"No."

"The Empire State Building!"

"No."

"Lil Tak!"

"Bingo."

Back at Trunks'…

"Hmm, what's that smell Goten?" Trunks asked.

"Why I believe it's the smell of smoke. Why would that be Alex?" Goten asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's because Tak just got BURNED!" Alex replied as all the others laughed at a beet red Lil Tak.

"Haha, very funny."

Back at Juliana's…

"Okay Remy, you get to pick who goes next." Juliana said. Remy grinned evilly.

"I pick Terri." Remy said.

"Like I didn't know that was coming." Terri said, as she got up. She stood in a spot and started to dance.

"Ooh! Flash Beagle!"

"No."

"Hey, did anyone hear that whirring noise?" CJ asked. "Terri, move to the left." Terri did as she was told and a whirring noise was heard. "What the hell is that?" Terri moved again and the whirring noise occurred every time she moved.

Back at Trunks'…

"Please tell me that you didn't put motion cameras in there Trunks." Lil Tak said.

"I could, but then I'd be lying." Trunks squeaked.

"We're busted." Goten said.

"Not yet. They may not figure it out." Danny pointed out.

Back at Juliana's…

"Oh my god!!" Remy shrieked. "Don't you get it?" Silence. "Come on, whirring every time she moved?"

"What are you on about?" Juliana asked. Remy sped into the bathroom.

"OH MY GOD! THERE'S ONE IN HERE TOO!!" Remy yelled, and ran back into the room. "Girls, we've been Big Brother'd." Silence. "Insolent youth! The boys have put cameras in virtually every room and they've been spying on us!"

"NANI?!"

Back at Trunks'…

"Look at my girl being all Nancy Drew!" Brad grinned.

"Oh man! Oh man!" Goten ran around like a headless chicken.

"We need to get out of here! All the equipment's here so only Trunks will get the blame." Lil Tak said.

"The hell?!" Trunks demanded.

"Every man for himself." Lil Tak replied.

"Not quite." Juliana said.

"WHAT? HOW? WHEN?!?!" Goten yelled.

"We took Juliana's birthday present. A capsule car." Trina replied. "I can't believe you were spying on us!"

"Yeah!" Remy said. "Now it's time for your punishments."

"Well I don't have to because I only know you guys through acquaintance and I'm nobody's boyfriend so…" Alex said. Everyone stared daggers at him. "Oh fine."

"Okay." They all sighed.

"Where's CJ?" Trunks asked. CJ's head leaned in the doorway.

"Hello." CJ said. Trunks, Goten and Lil Tak ran over to her and engulfed her in a big hug. "Okay guys, barely dressed!" They all backed off embarrassed. "Nice to know you guys haven't changed. Nice scheme."

"You're not mad?"

"No, since I'm the one who thought up your punishments."

"Oh no…"

To Be Continued…

There you go, a CJ appearance. It's probably the last one for a long while, maybe ever. We'll have to see. Anyhoo, next chapter. The guys are one year older and in the 3rd year of high school. I haven't decided what it's going to be on so…enjoy!
