"What is it now Gohan?" Videl was angering again.
"The party at Bulma's on Sunday! Don't you remember? What are we going to do!?" panic could easily be detected in his voice.
Videl relaxed, she thought it was something more serious "That's it!? Geeez Gohan, don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine. Besides, I'll be there"
With those last comforting words Gohan's blood pressure reached to a more neutral level. Videl was right, things would be better with her there.
As the Satan Mansion come in to view Gohan reminded Videl that he'll pick her up 5pm on Sunday, waved goodbye and headed for home.
******
"Son Gohan! Where have you been young man!?" Chi chi's voice was booming into his sensitive Saiyan hearing (if he had any left) "you knew perfectly well that I was going into the city with Bulma tonight so we could shop for the party!"
"but-"
"And don't give me that tone or I will see to it personally that school becomes a little more challenging!"
"I-"
"now, I expect you to take good care of Goten and still get all your homework done." She picked up her purse
"you-" He couldn't get a word in edge ways
"AND dinners on the table, make sure you both get even shares, I don't want to have to put restrictions on meals, especially with you two" she closed front door and left
"can't I-"
"oh" She poked her head out the door "I almost forgot, Trunks is here too, I want you to look after him as well. I promised Bulma."
"WHAT!? I can't look after Goten AND Trunks! I don't have the time and besides I've just been."He stopped for two reasons. One, he found that his mum wasn't around to hear his complaints any more, and two, Goten had come down stairs, intent on what Gohan was about to say.
"You've just been what big brother?" He asked with that little innocent look on his face.
"umm. nothing Goten, don't worry" He didn't want Goten knowing his latest secret or else he would tell Trunks, then Trunks would tell Vegeta and Bulma, and then. you get the point.
"please Gohan, you can trust me, I promise I won't tell a soul" Goten was still dying to know what had made his big brother not finish his sentence earlier.
"nah, it's nothing, seriously." Goten didn't look too convinced "uh, look! Dinners ready, you better eat it before it gets cold"
Goten raced to the eating table, all urges of finding out what Gohan was hiding, gone.
'that was a close one' Gohan wiped his forehead out of habit and joined his little bro.
******
Trunks came downstairs a few minuets after they finished tea and went outside with Goten to play. Gohan saw this as a great opportunity to get his homework out of the way and the extra work his mum had set him.
He didn't mind if Trunks and Goten went out to play together - alone - it wasn't like they'd plot against him or something like that! Besides, he knew very well that Trunks respected him. Just look at how mirai Trunks turned out, he was always very nice and polite Gohan when he came to warn them about the androids.
Little did he know this wasn't the same Trunks.
"oh, Trunks, why do we have to plot against Gohan again! It gets so boring after the umpteenth time." whined Goten.
"I told you before, every time we think up a flawless scheme it always backfires" Trunks said getting impatient "remember the time when we put bleach in his shampoo and your mum used it instead? and the time when we got his history homework for the cell games and switched it for pictures of that oaf Mr Satan? He got full marks! And what about the time-"
"OK! I get the point!" He yelled
"So, as I was saying before you interrupted was that we get this itching powder stuff I got from mum's lab, sprinkle it in Gohan's bed and presto! We have one itchy and uncomfortable teenager on our hands" Trunks smiled at his own brilliance "simple and effective"
"but Trunks," Goten thought about this new 'flawless' plan (which was extremely rare) "how do we get the itching powder into Gohan's bed? He's already studying there.
"simple," He smirked "all we need to do is get his sweet, innocent, little brother to stall him, while I put the powder between the sheets"
Goten was still confused "Who's gonna do that? Gohan doesn't have a little brother"
Trunks' face fell. This was going to be a very long night indeed.
****
"I think mum's getting a little soft, these equations are almost too easy" Gohan was about half way thorough his daily work in his room and Just about to start the easier part of it. He had gotten allot tonight and wished to finish it as early as possible especially if he had to look after two toddlers for the night.
A knock on the door interrupted him as he was taking another thick Textbook out of his bag.
**knock-knock** (A/N: couldn't resist!)
He sat up to answer it.
"uhh, hi Gohan" it was Goten
"hay Squirt, what's up?" Gohan saw that Goten seemed a little nervous. He was rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet and both hands were behind his back. "why you knocking all of a sudden?"
"no reason, just felt like it I guess" Goten's nervousness increased. The real reason he had knocked was so Gohan wouldn't see Trunks slip into his bedroom through the window and plant the itching powder into his bed covers.
"okay." Gohan was still trying to understand Goten's sudden urge to knock the door. "so, why exactly did you come here"
"um.." he was about to answer, until he saw Trunks starting to crawl through the window.
"Goten, hello, earth to Goten" He began to wave a hand in front of Goten's eyes to get his attention
"huh? What? oh yeah, the reason I came was to ask you what an alphabet was. Trunks won't tell me and he says that it's really important and that I should know it by now" At this point Trunks was halfway to placing the itching powder in the covers.
"is that all? Gosh, I thought you would've learned that by now. Don't you watch TV?" Goten shook his head almost to say as if what's a TV "okay I'll tell you. Firstly the alphabet isn't an object, it's a thing. The alphabet shows all the letters we use to make words." Goten still had a blank stare on his face Gohan sighed "Do you know what words are?"
"yep, those are the things you're always writing, right?" Goten tried to seem interested.
"Right. In fact, if you're so keen to know what it is all of a sudden I'll write you down a copy. Just let me get a sheet of paper and-" Gohan began to enter his room.
"No, that's fine Gohan, I'm not that desperate!" He had to act fast or else Gohan would've seen Trunks. But he still hadn't gotten Gohan convinced. "you sure? It'll only take a few seconds."
"NO! I'm fine, really!" Goten was trying desperately to get his big brothers attention away from the room "I'll just watch the T.E. or something like that!"
"Alright then, you do that" Now Gohan was even more confused than to begin with. Maybe Goten was just going through a phase.
Trunks finished 'powdering' Gohan's bed and was on hot pursuit to the window. It was safe for Gohan to go back into his room now.
Gohan began close the door but noticed that Goten hadn't moved and was still starring intently into his room "uh, is there any thing else? Goten?"
Goten realised what he was doing (balancing on one foot trying to see through the tiny crack in Gohan's door) and returned to a more 'normal' pose and shook his head "no, there's nothing else. Thanks Gohan"
He was about to move away when he saw Trunks trip over a bundle of Gohan's cloths that littered the floor. "Actually Gohan, I, uh."
Gohan swung open his door again, he was getting a little frustrated, he had work to do! "what Goten?"
"I, um, ah, need, a, uh." He kept on talking and mumbling like this until Trunks had managed to free himself from the 'evil mound of clothing'. "uh, maybe, could, uh." Trunks raced to the window and literally jumped out! "nothing! Gotta go!"
Goten ran off like a bat outta HFIL
Gohan could only say one thing before he closed the door "weird" and believe me, that's very unusual for some one to say when they were half alien, could fly, do energy blasts and defeat an evil being that attempted to destroy the world when they were only 11.
******
Gohan sighed and layed down in his bed for a long deserved sleep. It had taken 3 long gruelling hours to get the 'two little tykes' to sleep, but the weird thing was that when he told them he had to go to bed himself they seemed to go unconscious instantaneously.
He shoved the thought to the back of his head and snuggled himself under the covers. If felt good to have the nice soft touch of the blankets to his skin, nothing could ruin this moment.
. Except for maybe that little itch on the end of his foot.
That didn't bother him though, he was too tired to even scratch one insignificant little itch and defiantly didn't want to turn into a wolf with Goten and Trunks around either.
Then a few moments later he found he had another itch on his chest, then another and another! It was at this point he realised that the sheets he were lying in weren't so soft and soothing any more. They were hard and scratchy, like sandpaper! He felt itchy all over!
He tossed and turned trying to rid the feeling but had no success. Eventually he got out of his bed and went to get new sheets. There was only one little thing he failed to notice.
.Goten and Trunks (partners in pestering and annoyance) were floating outside the window trying to hide their rather loud laughing but were failing miserably. Trunks could've sworn that if he'd laughed one more time he would burst! For some strange, odd, sick reason he enjoyed seeing Gohan in pain, as long as it wasn't life threatening.right?
Gohan returned to his room with fresh, clean, new sheets and began to change them, still unsure on how they made him all itchy.
He dumped the other blankets into the corner of his room and attempted to sleep once again.
Goten and Trunks realised that they could no longer get any more enjoyment from this scene and decided to head back. After all, they were a Sayian/Human species and they needed just as much sleep as Gohan did.
Just as they turned away they noticed something. Gohan's form under the blankets was (they couldn't find any other word to describe it) shrinking.
