Just A Girl
Chapter2: Heat Stroke? Or Something More Dangerous?
*************************************************************
Gohan started in on his fifth plate, with Goten right next to him. A shadow loomed over him, he gulped and turned around slowly. "Hi mom." He said flashing the 'Son grin'. "Gohan Son! I taught you better manners than to run into a room without greeting anyone, especially your own mother, and just stuffing your mouth." Chi Chi screeched. Everyone winced and stropped. That yell could stop a group of fifty sayains dead it their tracks on their way to a table full of food. And it took its toll on Gohan. 'Ow' he mentally winced.
"I'm sorry mom, I just couldn't let Goten beat me, you know she would eat all the food, and my, what a lovely dress." Gohan explained. The best way through a woman's temper was through a compliment. "Your father liked it too." Chi Chi looked lost. Gohan felt saddened, he got up and hugged his mother. Goku had died during the fight with Cell, was brought back to defeat Buu, but his heart disease had returned from all the stress his body was put through, he had died and they had tried to bring him back, but Goku had been brought back so many times it wasn't possible, King Kai had informed them that Goku was well and happy with his new job. They had made him into one of the angels.
Chi Chi and Gohan were the only ones who shared that amount of loss, Goten loved her father very much, and she wished every day he was here, but she never really knew him. Gohan had brought her up with the best of his knowledge, her mother had taught her how to be a proper young lady, which Goten chose not to do, and Vegeta had trained her and Trunks to the best of his ability. Goten had her father's compassion, but Vegeta's aggression.
Goten had considered Gohan her 'father figure' and she would never say it out-loud but she thought very highly of Vegeta also, and looked up to him. Bulma was like an aunt, and Trunks was her best friend in the whole universe. They shared a very close relationship. *************************************************************
Goten finished eating and went to a changing room. Inside she found a black one-piece, green swimming trunks and a very nice black T- shirt. She slipped into the bathing suit, but not liking to wear things that were so close to her body, she also pulled on the shorts and shirt. The shirt was the softest she had ever felt, it was just black, but it fit just right, baggy, but not so much that it got in the way. Taking no heed as to who the clothes belonged to, she walked out and jumped into the edge farthest from all the people. *************************************************************
"Hey Charolette." Trunks greeted. 'What am I gonna do?' he wondered. "Hi." She smiled and leaned up to give him a kiss, but Trunks turned his head and she only caught his cheek. "I thought you invited me to a party?" she asked, she was definitely dressed for a party, black hip-huggers, a black shirt with a low neck-line with a picture of big red lips. The black she wore matched the eye-liner, which was way too thick, the red lip-stick didn't fully go with the short blond hair, which was growing out into dark brown roots, and her blue eyes.
Trunks realized for the first time, there really wasn't anything special about her, nothing that stood out, she was pretty, but just like everyone else. Trunks found that he wanted to be around someone with a lot more pep. Someone that was beautiful, but didn't even think of herself as cute. Someone who wasn't like all the other girls, someone who Trunks could have real fun with, someone like Goten.
"No, the party is in the pool room." Trunks said and started towards the hall. "Oh, I didn't pack a suit." She objected. "Don't worry, there are plenty." Trunks said and pushed his hand into his pocket when she tried to take it. *************************************************************
"Who stole my clothes?!?!?!" Vegeta's voice bellowed out of the changing room Goten had just come out of. 'Uh, oh.' Goten thought and sank deeper into the pool, hoping he wouldn't see her.
"Vegeta, there are plenty of other clothes you can wear." Bulma gave him a look that said 'Do not yell when there are guests, or you will pay dearly!' Vegeta just growled deep in his throat and grabbed a pair of red trunks. He too went to the part of the pool less occupied, and no one objected. *************************************************************
"The pool is in there." Trunks pointed to the door that Vegeta's voice had come from. "I'm gonna go put on my suit, I'll be back soon to do the introductions." He mumbled and walked away. Charolette knew he was being distant, she just hoped he didn't know about the other guy she was seeing. *************************************************************
Trunks walked slowly up to his room. He had no idea what he was going to do. He was so indulged in his thoughts, he didn't notice the very familiar ki in his room, until he opened the door. Trunks' mouth fell open, after a few seconds his mind registered, "Quit making out on my bed!" he yelled. "Sorry." Gohan mumbled blushing. Videl just looked really guilty and blushed also. They both decided to go back to the party and refrain from any further making outs. *************************************************************
Vegeta was not happy, he was swimming laps furiously and with great speed. It was his favorite shirt, he slept in it every night. (Poor Goten) Goten was trying to stay away from Vegeta and away from everyone else when she noticed the new girl. 'That must be Trunks' girlfriend.' She thought. For a moment she wondered what it would be like to be on a date with Trunks. Blushing she pushed that thought of kissing him away and concentrated on Vegeta's anger and how to avoid it. *************************************************************
"Hey, you must be Charolette." Bulma greeted. "And you must be the famous Bulma Briefs." Charolette said in a high soprano voice. "Well, this is Chi Chi." Bulma pointed to Chi Chi, who was now in a black bathing suit. "We were just going to go over to the tanning rooms, would you like to join us?" Chi Chi asked politely. Chi Chi and Bulma knew they needed to get that girl away from Trunks, the only girl for Trunks was Goten, and they already were trying to come up with ideas to get them together. "Sure. Let me change real quick." Charolette walked into one of the dressing rooms. She chose a tomato red bikini, which only made her eye-liner look thicker and her skin whiter. Bulma winced inside and Chi Chi shook her head for the poor girl. *************************************************************
Trunks walked into the party hoping to slip past Charolette, but he still wanted people to know he was there, so he could have an alibi. Trunks watched his mother, Chi Chi, and Charolette go into one of the tanning rooms and he sighed in relief. "What are you doing?" A gruff voice caught him from behind. "Hi dad." Trunks braced himself and turned around. Vegeta just looked at him for a second then stomped off.
'If Charolette is tanning, then I'll go for a short swim.' He thought and went into one of the changing rooms. "Gohan!" Trunks' voice rang all the way through CC, "Could you both stop making out for at least two minutes?" he was very frustrated and he kept running into...something he didn't. At least it wasn't his parents.
Gohan and Videl walked out of the changing room, very red. Everyone looked at them for a few minutes then went back to what they were doing. "Let's swim." Gohan muttered, he had on bright green swimming trunks. "Ok." Videl agreed, she had on a light blue bathing suit, which went perfect with her eyes.
Trunks emerged, seconds later, in blue swimming trunks. He spotted Goten and crept slowly over to her wide open back. "Gotcha!" he yelled and pounced on her. "Hey!" she protested, but it was too late.
That was the cool thing about Goten, she was exactly like a boy. Her and Trunks had so much in common, but totally different personalities. Trunks, inherited his mother's brains, while Goten was more like her father, she wasn't stupid, she just didn't give things too much thought. She wasn't practical, she was imaginative. Trunks was all ways referred to as the brains, but he wasn't geeky. He was voted most popular on his freshman year. Trunks hated school because he was too smart for it, Goten hated school because she wanted to stay home and fight, or watch TV, or just goof- off.
Goten was shy, but she was never afraid to say what she thought. She could be really quiet and then hyperactive. Goten never dated in all her life, most of the boys didn't even look at her, and the ones that did most of the time called her a boy on accident. If she dressed like a girl she was stunning, even when she dressed like a boy she was cute. AS for Trunks, there was no girl that wouldn't fall into a puddle of mud so Trunks could walk on her back and not get dirty.
Every girl thought he was hot, and he knew this so he used it to his advantage. Goten just grinned, she looked so innocent when she looked up at you and gave you that 'Son Grin.'
"It's hot in here." Chi Chi tried to tell Bulma, but the words wouldn't come out, something was definitely wrong, she felt so weak, her skin burned and her thoughts took too long to register, her body couldn't take it, she fainted. "Chi Chi!" Bulma shouted in alarm and her and Charolette carried her out.
"Help!" Charolette cried, she was loosing her grip. "Mom!" Gohan shouted and lifted her up. "Take her to the hospital, she might have heat stroke." Bulma ordered. Gohan nodded and took off. "Wait." Goten shouted and shout out of the pool.
"Trunks, follow them, wait for me in the lobby." Bulma ordered. Trunks didn't need to be told twice as he too took off in the direction of the hospital. "Everyone, can feel free to stay here and enjoy themselves, I'm sure there is nothing to worry about." Bulma wrapped a towel around her bathing suit. "Vegeta, get out of that pool and dry off, we're going to need to go to the hospital soon." Bulma yelled and ran up to the shower. Vegeta just mumbled something about Kakorot's stupid mate, but got out nonetheless. *************************************************************
"Mom! Come on wake up, you need to be conscious right now." Gohan ordered in a deep voice shaking her gently. "Tired." Chi Chi protested. "I know you want to sleep but you can't right now, you need to stay awake, we're almost there." Gohan blasted into Super Sayain and flew faster.
"Goten! Wait up!" Trunks called out. Goten slowed down for a minute until she and Trunks were head-to-head. Goten was now dry, cold, but dry. Flying was like a big blow-drier. Trunks looked at her from the corner of his eye, he wanted to say something to make her feel better, but what could he say? "I hope mom is going to be all right." Goten whispered. She was only 14 and she didn't even have a father, who would be cruel enough to take her mother too? Where would she end up?
"Hey, don't worry, she is going to be great, she just had a little too much heat." Trunks said brightly. Goten nodded, but she didn't feel like everything was going to be great, not even ok, everything was going to be horrible and she knew it.
*************************************************************
Thanks for the reviews, and yes even the flame one. I appreciate everyone's opinion. So tell me yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, and to relieve the tension of a cliff-hanger, I have a special joke for you...
This guy goes up to a bar located at the top of the Empire State
Building in New York. It looks like a nice place and he takes a
seat at the bar next to another guy.
"This is a nice place, I've never been here", the first guy says.
"Oh really?", the other replies, "it's also a very special bar".
"Why is that?", the first guy asks.
"Well, you see that painting on the far wall? That's an original
Van Gogh, and this stool I'm sitting on was on the Titanic."
"Gee, that's amazing!", the first guy says.
"Not only that, but you see that window over there, fourth from
the right? Well, the wind does strange things outside that
window. If you jump out you'll fall about 50 feet before the wind
catches you and you're pushed back up."
"No way, that's impossible", the first guy replies.
"Not at all, take a look", the other man replies and walks over
to the window, followed closely by the first man.
He opens the window, climbs over the sill and falls out. He drops
10...20...30...40...50 feet, comes to a stop, and whoosh! He comes
right back up and sails back through the window.
"See, it's fun. You should try it", he says.
"Try it, I don't even believe I saw it!", the first man shouts.
"It's easy. Watch, I'll do it again". And with that, he falls out the
window again. He drops 10...20...30...40...50 feet, comes to a stop,
and whoosh! He comes right back up and sails back through the window.
"Give it a try, it's a blast", he says.
"Well, what the heck, I'll give it a try", the first man says and
proceeds to fall out the window. He falls
10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90..100 feet and splat! He
ends up as road pizza on the sidewalk.
After watching the first man fall to his death, the other guy
casually closes the window and heads back to the bar and orders
another drink. The bartender arrives with the drink and the man at the bar says,
"You know Vegeta, you're a real jerk when you're drunk".
Heehee...funny!!!!!
