Chapter 14: Time to wish Katrina back
"Where were you tonight?"
Trunks and Goten stopped dead in their tracks and slowly turned around.
"Well?" Bra said with a chicken leg in her hand.
"Bra, what are you doing up?" Trunks asked.
"I was hungry. Well, where did you go? You and Goten look like he went to the meat grinder," said Bra taking a bit out of her chicken.
"It's none of your business, now go to bed," Trunks insisted. He began to push her up the stairs.
"If you don't tell me then, I'll wake up daddy and he'll make you tell," teased Bra. Goten bent down and was at eye level of the little girl.
"Bra, Trunks and I spared for a couple of hours. So, please don't wake up Vegeta. I promise that tomorrow Trunks and I will buy you a large ice cream."
Bra looked at him for a second then to Trunks and back to Goten. She then a smile trickled across her face.
She took a bit of chicken and said, "Do you promise?" Goten looked at Trunks and nodded his head. "Okay, I won't tell. Good night." She ran up stairs with a twinkle in her eye.
"Um, Goten, are you sure about this?" whispered Trunks.
"Yeah, it'll be fine, she'll probably forget about it tomorrow, trust me." Goten gave Trunks a wink and continued to go up stairs. Trunks just shrugged his shoulders in defeat.
"If you say so, but Bra doesn't forget that easy." He followed Goten to his room. "Hey Goten, do you think that we should find the dragonballs tomorrow?" Trunks threw Goten a pair of sweat paints and a shirt. Goten went into the bathroom to brush his teeth.
"I now where one of them is. It's at my house. Before we go get the balls tomorrow, we might have to take you sister out for ice cream. I hope that we can find all of them in time. I wonder if everyone else got their memories back."
"I wish that my mom could find a way so that we don't have t keep finding the dragonballs. Or at lease have the dragon be called inside so that they won't go very far," said Trunks changing into his pajamas. Goten nodded his head in agreement and also changed. "Goten, don't worry. We'll find the dragonballs and wish Katrina back. Also if King Yama let her keep her body then you know that King Kai would watch after her."
"Yes, I know. It just that, I don't know, something just doesn't seem right." Goten looked at Trunks, who was starting to fall asleep.
"She's fine," Trunks said turning on his side.
"Yeah, your probably right." Goten laid down next to Trunks and fell asleep.

"Goten, Trunks wake up," Bra said jumping on the bed. Goten woke up, rolled over and fell on the floor. Knocking his head on the nightstand.
"Ah… Bra, what are you doing in my room?" questioned Trunks getting up. He looked over to where is friend fell and helped him up. "Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Excuse me, but you promise me that you were going to take me out for ice cream," Bra interrupted and jumped from the bed. "Are we going to go or do I have to tell dad what time you got home?"
"What were you saying yesterday about her forgetting?" whispered Trunks. Goten gave him a 'oh, well' look. "Fine, we'll take you out for ice cream. Give us about ten minutes to get ready and we'll meet you downstairs, Okay?" Trunks looked at his baby sister, and a bright smile made its away on her face.
With a gleam she said, "Okay, if you are late I'll tell." With that she skipped out the room.
"Hey, look at the time. Don't you think that it's a little early for her to have ice cream?" Goten turned around and noticed that the time was eight a.m.
"Well, she wants ice cream. Do you really think that she is willing to wait and have ice cream later on? And besides the sooner we can get rid of her the soon that we can find the drangonballs," said Goten.
"It's your fault." Trunks went into the bathroom, and Goten started to get changed. When Trunks was done brushing his teeth, Goten and him switched places. The two was ready in five minutes, and went downstairs to meet Bra.
"Are you ready to go?" questioned Trunks grabbing his jacket.
"Yeap," Bra said cheerfully. The three walked out the door. "How are we suppose to get there?"
"We have two possibilities. One we fly or we walk," replied Goten.
"I think that we should walk. It's a beautiful day out," Trunks said.
"But I want to…" complained Bra before she could finish Trunks interrupted her.
"No, we'll walk. I don't want the risk of us being spotted."
"Oh, all right." Bra was defeated. She knew that they couldn't be spotted.
The walk was about ten minutes. When they arrived, Bra couldn't decide on which flavor that she should get. It took her almost five minutes to pick one. Trunks told her that she could have as many flavors as she wanted, just as long as she could eat it all. After she picked the flavors that she wanted, Goten and Trunks ordered what they wanted. Bra had six different scoops of ice cream, while Goten and Trunks both had four scoops of ice cream.
"That would be twenty dollars," said the ice cream man. Goten searched though his pockets for some money, but he came out empty handed.
"Trunks, can you pay? I forgot my money," said Goten.
Trunks let out a sigh. "Okay, how much was it again?"
"Twenty dollars." Trunks found the money and paid the man. The three left and sat at the bench in front of the store.
"Bra, do you think that you can finish this at home?" questioned Goten.
She looked at him with ice cream all over her face and said, "Why?"
Goten replied with, "Well, Trunks and I have to do something today, and we would like to get started as soon as possible."
"Okay," Bra said wiping of some of the ice cream on her face. They walked home. They arrived at Capsule Crop., Bra had ice cream smeared all over her face from when she was trying to wipe it off.
"Where were you two?"
"Dad, Trunks and Goten took me out for some ice cream," Bra said giving her dad a hug.
"Oh, I can see," Vegeta said.
"Dad, do you know where Mom keeps the dragon radar?"
"I don't know. Why do you need it any ways?" questioned Vegeta.
"Well, we figured if we ever need the dragonballs, any time soon. Then we think that we could call them without the struggle of finding them," Goten explained. Vegeta didn't seem too interested with what Goten said.
"Your Mom, might be in the lab."
"Thanks dad," Trunks said.
"Bulma, do you know where the dragon radar is?" questioned Goten. Bulma was at the workbench, working on some kind of tool. She looked up and pointed to a counter.
"Thanks mom." Trunks went over to the counter and opened the drawer. He looked around in the drawer and found it. "Goten, I found it."
"Okay, then let's go."
The two left Capsule Corp.
"Where is the first one?" Trunks turned on the radar. It began to beep. He pushed the button to make the scale smaller.
He then replied after finding it, "It's about ten miles north of us."
"Well, then let's go find it." They flew off.
***
The two found all but two of the dragonballs in about twelve hours. The sky became dark and the night became cold. Goten was standing at an edge of a cliff. It was about eight-thirty p.m.
"Are you sure that it is down there?" questioned Goten. Trunks doubled checked the radar.
"Yeah, about fourteen feet." He started to fly down. "Are you coming?" Goten looked down then followed. The two grabbed the last dragonball.
"That's all," Trunks replied. "The last one is at your house right?"
"Yes, let's get it." Goten flew toward his house. Trunks was standing outside. "Dad, can I borrow the dragonball?"
Goku spun around and looked at Goten. Then asked, "Ah…sure. Why do you need to make a wish?"
"Yes. Why I couldn't use it if I need to make a wish?" questioned Goten nervously.
"No, you can make a wish, but just remember don't wish for anything that you might later regret."
"Thanks dad. I won't." Goten ran to where the last dragonball was located, and brought it outside.
"Ready?" he questioned to Trunks. Trunks nodded and handed Goten the remainder of the balls. Goten place them on the ground in a circle. He called the dragon. When the dragon began to emerge the winds began to pick up, and the sky became darker, and filled with lighting.
Inside…
"Goku what is that?" questioned Chi-chi.
"Oh, it's Goten. He and Trunks are calling the dragon," explained Goku.
"Oh," Chi-chi replied.
Back outside, Goten made his wish to bring Katrina back. The dragon's eyes glowed; there was a pause then the dragon said, "I can not fulfill your wish."
"What why can't you?" Goten questioned angrily.
"It is impossible," roared the dragon.
"Why? She is dead right?"
"NO. Make your other two wishes," said the impatient dragon.
"Can you bring Katrina here?" Goten wished.
The dragon's eyes glowed again. "She doesn't what to come, yet."
"Why?" questioned Goten. The dragon didn't answer.
"You have one more wish," he said instead. Goten looked at Trunks and turned back to the dragon.
"Can we make it later?"
"As you wish." And the dragon disappeared and the ball scattered in the sky. The sky became a littler black, and the lighting disappeared. Goten looked dumbfounded, confused and upset.
"Katrina is alive? Trunks, did you hear that?" Goten asked with excitement in his voice.
"Yeah! But why didn't she want to come?" Trunks questioned. Goten looked at him and shrugged his shoulders. All of the sudden, Goten turned around and stared in the dark. Trunks looked at where Goten was staring. Trunks then realized that a strong energy was coming toward them. Goten and Trunks both started to power up, then Goten stopped.
"Trunks wait. I think that it is Kat," Goten said.
A figure began to come closer, and clearer. The figure turned into a girl, with short brown hair cut just below her shoulders, with bangs above her eyebrows that had just two strains longer on either side to tuck behind her ears. She was also wearing shorts, a shirt and a jean jacket. She also had a small bookbag with her. Her hair was waving in the wind as she flew threw the air. Goten continued to look at the girl, and a smile began to shine on his face.
"Katrina is that you?" Goten asked walking toward the flying girl.
"Hey Goten, it is Katrina," said Trunks as the girl was ten feet away. Wasting no time, Goten began to run then fly toward the girl. Katrina started to fly faster.
