Chibi Adventures

Chapter 5:
Jasmine flopped down on the couch in the living room. It was late and she was tired. Babysitting two kids with that much energy was draining, even when it was only for a few hours. Chichi had said that they would be home between ten and eleven, so that meant any time soon. She had already cleaned up the kitchen, so it was time for a well deserved nap.
She didn't know how long she had been sleeping when a little hand shook her shoulder. She jumped awake but calmed down as soon as she saw it was only Goten. "I had a bad dream," he explained. His face still looked sleepy as he rubbed one bleary eye with his small fist.
"Tell me what it was about and I'll make it go away," Jasmine said soothingly as she pulled the little boy into her lap.
"The black knight was there, like in the story," he began. "I fought him and I won, but then he was back, and there were more, and I couldn't beat 'em all."
"Oh, Goten, the black knight isn't real," she assured him. "He's only in the story, I promise."
"Yeah, I know, but it was still scary," he said. He curled up with his head pillowed on her shoulder and closed his eyes. In a few moments he was sleeping once again.
Jasmine didn't want to disturb him, so she rocked him gently back and forth. He might be a handful when he was awake, but sleeping Goten was very sweet. He looked so innocent. She too was dozing again soon.
Not long later Trunks woke up when he noticed Goten was gone. He stumbled through the house, wondering where his friend had gotten to. He eventually found him, sleeping quietly on the couch with Jasmine. Trunks silently crawled up next to them and fell asleep leaning on his babysitter's arm.
Goku and Chichi were late getting home. It was nearly midnight when they opened the door of their little house and walked in to find the three sleeping on the sofa. "They were supposed to be in bed hours ago!" Chichi whispered to Goku.
"Aw, but they look so cute," he replied with a grin.
"We had better wake them up, Jasmine has to get home," Chichi said. She walked over and gently shook the girl by the shoulder.
"Wh-what? Um, I guess I was asleep, hello Chichi."
"Hello to you too, but why aren't the boys in bed?" Chichi asked with a gesture to the two sleeping kids.
"Well, Goten woke up and he'd had a bad dream," Jasmine explained. "But I didn't even notice Trunks was up. He must have come in here after I dozed off with Goten. They were in bed on time, honest."
Suddenly Trunks and Goten stirred from their slumber, yawning and stretching and rubbing their eyes. "Wuz goin' on?" Goten asked drowsily.
"Your parents are home," Jasmine said. "It's time for me to go."
"No, don't!" Trunks protested, clinging to her arm. "We never got to hear the end of the story."
"Did Tucker and Gary rescue the princess?" Goten prodded. "What happened?"
"Jasmine can finish your story the next time she comes boys," Chichi said. "That is, if it's alright with her."
"I'd love to come back," she replied eagerly.
"HOORAY!" the chibis cheered, hugging her tightly.
"Say goodbye and get back to bed now," Chichi commanded. Trunks and Goten said goodnight and scampered off.
"Did they behave?" Chichi asked as soon as they were out of earshot.
"Besides flying around the ceiling and putting a burn mark on one of your trees, everything was just fine," Jasmine said. There was no reason to let them know about the little late night flight.
"Oh, is that all? They were angels," Goku laughed. His wife looked more concerned.
"They flew?" she said. "But they weren't supposed to."
"It was kind of freaky, but nothing got hurt. Don't get on to them for it, please," Jasmine pleaded.
"Well, they aren't used to having a babysitter who they can't use their powers around," Chichi said slowly. "I guess it just seemed natural to go ahead and fly..."
"Of course it did, and Jasmine doesn't seem upset. Let's just leave them alone," Goku said. Reluctantly, Chichi agreed.
"We'll call you any time we need a sitter," Chichi said. "Thank you so much."
"My pleasure," Jasmine said. "But since it's late I'll be going. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Son!" Chichi and Goku waved goodbye.
