Chapter 7: Jasmine to the rescue!
Back at her house, Jasmine's mother yelled for her to pick up the phone. She set down the book she was reading and answered. "Hello, this is Jasmine."
"Jasmine, it's Gohan, I really need your help. My mother stuck me with the brats and they're out of control. They refuse to calm down unless they get to see you. They've already coated the kitchen with flower and they're getting out the eggs! Please say you'll come!" he pleaded.
"Sure, I'd be glad to," she quickly agreed. "Put them on the phone."
Soon two little voices could be heard. "Jasmine, is that really you?" Trunks asked.
"Are you really coming?" It was Goten this time.
"Yes, I'll be over as quick as I can," she promised. "But you two had better be cleaned up when I get there."
"We will!" they chimed in unison. Then she could hear feet pounding on the floor and Gohan was on the phone again.
"I'll clean up their mess as long as you'll watch them," he said. "Thanks so much, Jas. You're a lifesaver."
"Anytime," she said. "See you soon, I'll be right over."
~Half an hour later~
Gohan answered the door with flour streaked across his face and dusted in his hair. "They just got out of the bath," he said, holding open the door.
"JASMINE!" Trunks and Goten yelled, tackling the girl to the floor. She laughed and pushed them off as she got back on her feet. She was on her way to the living room to put down the backpack she had brought with her when she saw the kitchen, still white except in the few places Gohan had begun to clean.
"You two made an awful mess," she scolded. "No way you're getting treats this time."
The boys moaned and tried to protest, but Jasmine was insistent. "You're just lucky that we're not making you clean this up," Gohan said.
"Let's go outside boys," Jasmine suggested. "I can finish the story we started last time." Immediately they had her by the hand and were dragging her into the yard.
Gohan scratched his head, wondering how a girl like Jasmine could possibly control those two. But somehow she managed. Now he had to get back to cleaning up the kitchen.
"We'll show you our favorite tree!" Goten said, pointing to a huge sprawling oak in the yard. "It's got all kinds of places to sit in it!"
"You can have the best branch," Trunks added.
"I'm not very good at climbing trees..." Jasmine began, frowning at the height of it.
"We can take you up there," the boys assured her, and before she had a chance to protest they had lifted her into the air. She was set onto the biggest branch in the whole tree, almost large enough to be considered a tree in itself. Trunks and Goten chose perches nearby and waited for her to begin.
"Let me see, where was I..." she wondered aloud.
"You were at the part where the black knight had captured the princess and Tucker and Gary were about to rescue her," Goten reminded her as he hung upside-down from his branch.
"You're right. That's where I'll start from then," she said with a nod. "Tucker and Gary could see the black knight's huge scary castle..."
For over an hour the boys listened intently to the story of knights, princesses, dragons, castles, and kings, only to be interrupted when Gohan yelled for them from the door of the house. "Food's ready!" he called.
Trunks and Goten hopped down from the tree and raced towards the house. "Umm, someone get me down please?" Jasmine yelled after them. The boys were stopped in their tracks.
"Oops," they said sheepishly. "I'll get her," Trunks offered. In just a moment, the girl was down on the ground again. Both boys apologized profusely as Jasmine led them by the hand to the kitchen.
Again, Jasmine was amazed at the amount that Trunks and Goten ate. And this time she got to see Gohan as well. She didn't know quite what they were, but they certainly did have bottomless pits where their stomachs belonged. They didn't talk during meals either. They constantly had food in their mouth instead. The only sounds were the louder-than-usual eating noises the boys made.
When they had finished off enough food to feed a roomful of normal people, the boys were finally done eating. "Okay, kids, you've got two hours before bed. Don't get into trouble," Gohan told Trunks and Goten.
"Jasmine, come play with us," Trunks said, tugging on his babysitter's sleeve.
"Play what?" she asked.
The two boys whispered together for a few seconds. "Just come see," Goten begged.
After a moment's hesitation, Jasmine agreed. She had no idea what she was getting into.
