Chapter 10: The Cootie Wars begin
Several weeks passed before Jasmine was needed again. However, one night Chichi received a call from Bulma. "Chi, this son of mine is driving me crazy!" she said. "What's say we go shopping or something for a night, get away from the husbands and the kids?"
"That sounds wonderful, Bulma, but I just can't trust Goku at home with Goten, and Gohan is going out with Videl again," Chichi replied sadly.
"No problem, send Goku over here to train with Vegeta, and we'll get that nice girl Jasmine to watch the boys again. Vegeta's been grumbling about not having anyone to test his skills against, anyway."
"Is Friday good then?" Chichi asked as she scribbled things down on a piece of paper. "I'll get a hold of Jasmine right away."
"Great, Chi, Trunks will be thrilled! Bye!" Bulma hung up the phone.
"Did you say Jasmine?!" Goten exclaimed, running through the door. He hugged her tightly around the waist. "Thank you mom!"
"I just hope she can come," Chichi said, dialing the number.
Jasmine answered the phone cheerily. She listened as Chichi asked for her assistance. "I'd love to, but I'm afraid I have to watch two of my little sisters that night..." she said slowly. "Well, why don't I just bring them along, that is if it's alright with you?"
"I certainly don't mind," Chichi answered. "How old are the girls?"
"Six and eight," Jasmine answered. "And don't worry, they're very well- behaved and won't cause any problems. I'll see you and the boys on Friday then. Thank you!"
"Goodbye Jasmine." Chichi hung up and turned to Goten. "She's coming!" He cheered. "But she's going to have to bring two of her sisters with her."
Goten screwed up his face in disgust. "Girls? Eww, I bet they'll have cooties!"
"Jasmine is a girl too," his mother reminded him.
"Yeah, but she's Jasmine!"

When Jasmine arrived on Friday in her little capsule car, two little heads looked out the back windows. Chichi answered the door with a smile on her face.
"Glad to see you're here, Jasmine," she said. "And who are these two little angels?"
One of the little girls looked very much like Jasmine, with red hair down to her shoulders, big brown eyes, and lots of freckles. The other had brown hair pulled back in a single ponytail and soft blue eyes. Jasmine introduced them as Lily and Violet. "My mother loves flowers," she explained sheepishly.
"It's very sweet. The boys are waiting inside," Chichi said. "You know where everything is, so I'll be off! Goodbye Goten honey!"
Jasmine found the boys inside watching TV, very much like the first time she had babysat. "I'm here!" she said. They jumped up to greet her, but stopped short when they saw the two girls. "These are my sisters," Jasmine said, pushing them forward.
"I'm Lily," the redhead said shyly. "I'm six."
"My name's Violet," said the little brunette. "I'm eight. Who are you two?"
"Trunks." "Goten."
"They're eight and seven," Jasmine said. "Why don't you four go out and play? Lily, Violet, I'm sure you'll love the big yard here. Much bigger than we have in town." The little girls nodded and ran out, but the boys remained frozen in place.
"Why don't you go outside too?" Jasmine asked. "My sisters are nice, I promise they don't bite."
"But they have cooties!" Goten exclaimed suddenly.
"What?!" Jasmine laughed.
"Yeah, they're girls and they have lots of icky cooties," Trunks affirmed with a nod of his head. "I'm not going out there."
"You're going outside because I have to fix dinner. It's already five forty- five, so dinner's going to be late as it is. Get out there!" Jasmine half- pushed them out the door.
Jasmine's sisters were already entertaining themselves. Lily was running around the yard picking wildflowers happily, and Violet was trying to climb one of the trees with low-hanging branches. Lily ran up to the boys as soon as they were outside to show off her growing bouquet of white daisies. "Aren't they pretty?" she asked.
Trunks screwed up his nose. "They're flowers," he snorted. "Those are for girls." Lily's lip began to quiver and it looked like she might cry.
Goten, not wanting to make Jasmine upset, quickly said, "They're real pretty." Immediately Lily brightened.
"You're nice," she said sweetly. She quickly pecked Goten on the cheek and ran away giggling to pick more flowers.
"Hey Goten, you okay?" Trunks asked, waving a hand in front of his friend's face. He poked him in the shoulder, and Goten fell over onto the ground. The impact roused him from his shock, and he jumped up screaming, "GIRL GERMS!"
Goten ran circles around the yard, still screaming, and Trunks smacked his forehead in exasperation.
"Your friend's weird," someone said. Trunks jumped and looked behind him to see Violet hanging upside-down from a branch she had managed to climb to, her hair dangling beneath her.
"What would you know? You're a girl," Trunks spat back. When Goten came by Trunks grabbed him by the shirt to stop him. Goten's feet came off the ground as he was suddenly halted, and he dropped to his bottom on the ground.
"What'd you do that for?" he asked.
"She says you're weird," Trunks replied, jerking his thumb at Violet.
"You both are," she said as she swung to the ground, landing lightly on her feet. "You think girls have cooties. Ha! Boys are the only ones who have cooties."
"Oh yeah? How much you want to bet?" Trunks said. The two stood face-to face, growling a challenge, hands fisted and ready to fight. Goten was holding Trunks back, reminding him that they weren't supposed to fight girls, and Lily was standing on the sidelines looking ready to scream any second.
Thankfully, they were interrupted when Jasmine yelled from inside, "Kids! Dinner!"
