~*~In the last chapter the kids did the Bloody Mary trick and Vegeta was scare out of his skull when cute little Gohan came out looking like the Bloody Mary. By the way I have good news for you all, my writers block is starting to break!~*~

Chapter 9: Never turn your back on a Chibi, Friends are forever!

I do not own DBZ or The Little Mermaid.

            A field with dead grass and trees, owls hooted in the distance and fog covered the area, It was dark were Gohan was, dark and cold with no sign of life anywhere but him and the hooting owls. Gohan was scare as he walked around the deserted area trying to find out where he was. "Where am I?" his voice echoed around the strange place, "Piccolo…Bra…Vegeta?" called Gohan but all he herd was his voice echoing around the area, "Ms. Bulma?" he squeaked, his fear showing thought the tone of his voice.

 he herd a noise behind him and turned around trembling, there coming out of the fog was a woman with long messy gray hair, there were dark circles under her eyes which looked they were just holes in her head, she was wearing a worn out white dress, on her face, arms and legs where deep cuts, her face was very pale, Gohan's eyes were wide with pure horror as he tried to find his voice, "B..Bloody…M…Mary?" he stuttered watching her come closer and then stop when hearing Gohan speak, an evil smile came across her face, Gohan began to shiver more as he saw the ghost coming at him much faster, "No!" Gohan screamed and ran as fast as he could though the fog filled field, but it was no use the ghost grabbed him, he looked behind him and saw her, she was smiling and then bared her fangs evilly, "NOOOOOOOO!"    

            Gohan woke up covered in sweat and trembling, his heart was pounding in his chest as fast as he was breathing, "It…it was just a dream?"

            Gohan whimpered underneath his blanket, after the whole pillow fight thing was over they had all went to bed after Trunks was pelted with twenty more pillows, Gohan thought was still scared after the whole Bloody Mary incident that night and of the noises coming from around the house and that the thunder from the storm could still be herd out side, Gohan shivered as he looked around the room, it was small and painted with sky blue paint on the walls and white paint on the ceiling, on the floor were toys that Bulma had put into the room the other day for them to play with but have yet to touch them.

            He then looked over to the window; in the night sky was the moon in its crescent stage, something about the moon scared him a little more as if the moon meant danger or something, its faint silver glow was coming thought the window casting shadows around the room, Gohan looked over to the left side of the room and then ducked under his sheets in pure fear, a shadow was there in the corner in the shape of a monster, creaking sounds came from the hall out side the room spooked him more making the fur on his tail stand on end in fear. Outside the tree by the window was being blown onto the window making it scratching against the glass.

            What was that? the scratching grew louder sending a shiver down his spine, *CRRAASSHH!!!* a loud clap of thunder roared from out side along with a blinding flash of lighting, this was enough to send the terrified half Saiyan jumping out of bed and into the bed next to his, Help! There's a monster out side! Gohan stopped trembling long enough to see whose bed he had ran into. His eyes met with bright green skin, pointy ears perking up with every small clap of thunder because of his sensitive hearing, he was in Piccolo's bed.

            Gohan calmed down a bit and layed down, being around Piccolo always made him feel safe, his fears of monsters and his nightmare gone he snuggled up to the small Namek listening to Piccolo's deep even breathing, he yawned, Piccolo's body heat was making him drowsy, his eyes began to droop tiredly, he snuggled closer to Piccolo and closed his eyes and fell into a blissful slumber.

            *The next morning*    

            Piccolo woke up and let out a small yawn, he started to get up until he sensed someone next to him, he turned around to find Gohan snuggled up next to him smiling in his sleep and his tail swaying happily back and forth behind him, Gohan must have still been a little scared of ghosts because of Trunks's story  Piccolo smiled, there was something about Gohan that was for sure, he placed his hand on the Chibi Saiyans head and felt the boy soft black hair, Gohan's smile grew and he wrapped his arms around Piccolo's torso and began purring peacefully, chuckling Piccolo gently unwrapped Gohan's arms from around him and got out of bed stretching and then looked over at Vegeta's bed and almost fell to the floor laughing.

            Vegeta was tangled in his blanket and bed sheets, he was curled up in the heap of sheets with his tail in his mouth and his hands curled up against his chest and his legs scrunched up to his torso, Piccolo almost burst out laughing, Vegeta could be a REAL pain in the antenna sometimes, how he wished he had a camera with him. Piccolo walked out of the room and down stairs to the kitchen. Bulma was already there cooking breakfast when the little Namek walked in.

"Good Morning Piccolo, your up early" said Bulma who had put another egg in the large frying pan, on her left hand was a gauze bandage, "Morning Ms. Bulma" Piccolo said cheerfully walking over to the sink and pouring himself a glass of water, he sat down at the table and watched Bulma cook, when she was done she set down the plates of food and walked into the hall, "HEY! YOU GUYS BREAKFAST IS READY!" now you think after living in a house with a pure blooded Saiyan, two half Saiyans and knowing Goku when he was younger for so many years she would know better then to stand in the kitchen doorway when calling Saiyans to eat but no, because just a few seconds after she said this three Chibi Saiyans and one teen Saiyan came charging into the kitchen, Bulma barely had any time to move out of the way.

As the they ate they talked about what to do for the day, Bulma was going to work on the antidote the whole day and Trunks was going to take the kids into the garden to play. "Mom do I have too?" said Trunks remembering the last time he baby sat the four Chibi's, Piccolo, Gohan and Bra were OK but Vegeta was a little demon, "If we are to ever get them back to there normal ages I have to start working on the antidote soon" said Bulma carrying an arm full of plates to the sink so the cleaning bots could wash them.

 Bulma then left for the lab leaving Trunks with the four Chibi's, as soon as they herd the door of the lab close the kids made a dash for the garden, "LAST ON THERE IS A VEGGIE-HEAD!" yelled Piccolo rounding a corner with ease, "I GUESS HE MEANS VEGETA!" said Gohan who got a laugh from Bra and Piccolo while he got a growl from Vegeta who was in last place and was now speeding up, "HOW MANY TIME DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO NOT CALL ME VEGGIE?!" screamed Vegeta passing Bra.

Mean while Trunks was at the very end of the race, Great! Mom leaves and they start a race! "GUYS NO RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!" he yelled and continued down the hall and lost track of the four kids, "Oh this is just great! There are seven gardens in this place and they could have gone anywhere!" Trunks sighed this was going to be one of those days, suddenly a voice called out, "Hey Trunks!" Trunks turned around and saw Goku walking up the hall.

"Hi Goku how did everyone take the news?" said Trunks walking up to him "Well after I told Videl she said she would help in anyway she could and Chi Chi kind of fainted" said Goku screaming his head "Mr. Popo and Dende were a little shocked too, Say Trunks what are you doing? I could hear yelling a block away from here." Goku said, "Well, my mom went to work on the antidote to change, Gohan, Piccolo and my dad back to normal and they started a race to one of the gardens, there are seven of them it will take me forever to find them" said Trunks grabbing his hair. "I'd be happy to give you a hand Trunks" Goku said, "Really? Thanks Goku you check the gardens on the first and second floor and I'll check the ones on the third and fourth floors", "Lets hope we find them before they destroy the place" said Goku chuckling. The Two walked off in search of the Chibi's hoping they weren't getting into any trouble.

Mean while the kids had gone to different areas of the huge building, Piccolo and Gohan were in one of the fourth floor gardens, Bra was in the living room watching The Little Mermaid and the demon Chibi Vegeta was following Goku while thinking of a good prank to pull on him him.

*Where Piccolo and Gohan were*

Piccolo was meditating next to a tree by the pond, the sky light was letting bright sun rays into the room, it was quite nice. He opened his eyes and turned to where Gohan was. Gohan was playing with some of the dogs, cats and dinosaurs wandering around the garden, he chuckled as he watched Gohan run around the garden laughing with the animals close behind him, Piccolo then closed his eyes again and began to meditate when his sensitive ears picked up a loud thud and then crying. Piccolo's eyes snapped open and he looked at where Gohan was. Gohan was on the ground tears streaming down his face with both hands clapped down on his right knee.

*Where Vegeta was*

Vegeta was smirking madly while following Goku, his mind thinking of a good prank to pull on him, and then it hit him. He powered up a small ball of ki and aimed it at Goku them fired it lightly so it would hit its target but not hit it hard. The ball hit Goku but since it was so small all it did was start a small fire on Goku's pants just what Vegeta had intended it to do, he snickered as he watched Goku smell smoke  then turn around to see the growing inferno on his half burnt pants, "AAGGGGHHHH!" Goku screamed as he ran to the water fountain in the hall and jumped into it while Vegeta was on the floor laughing and clutching his sides with tears running down his face.

*Where Bra was*

Bra was watching her favorite part of the movie which was the scene when Prince Eric marries Princess Ariel when she herd a yell from the hall, She put the tape on pause and went out to take a look. When she got out there she saw her Chibi father on the floor laughing his head off and Goku climbing out of the water, the seat of his orange gi charred black.

*Where Piccolo and Gohan were*

Piccolo ran up to Gohan who was crying on the ground holding his knee, "Gohan what happen?" said Piccolo kneeling down to Gohan level, "I…*sniff*…I fell and hurt my knee" Gohan said and then lifted his hands to show Piccolo the wound. The knee of Gohan's orange gi was ripped open exposing Gohan's bleeding knee, looking closer Piccolo saw that not only was the skin scrapped open but the area around the wound was bruised and there was dirt caked onto the cut skin which could cause an infection, "You really banged you knee up Gohan" Piccolo said helping Gohan to his feet and helping him walk over to the bathroom.

He remembered that last night Bulma's favorite lamp was knocked off its stand from the pillow fight and Bulma had to clean it up, Bulma had gotten a piece of glass stuck in her left hand and had to bandage it, Piccolo had watched Bulma apply first aid to her wounded, since he was a fighting type Namek he could not heal Gohan's knee on the spot like a Healing type Namek could so he had to resort to the next best thing.

He sat Gohan down on the cloths hamper and went over to the medicine cabinet to look for the first aid kit, when he found it he took out all the things he saw Bulma take out to fix her hand. After he got all that out he got a clean cloth and wet it with water and soap from the sink and carried it over to Gohan. Gently he pulled the leg of Gohan's pants up and began to calmly wipe the dirt off the wound, then he dried Gohan's knee off with a towel and went to get some gauze and Iodine. He poured some of the Iodine onto the gauze and turned to Gohan, "This might sting a little" said Piccolo remembering how Bulma flinched when she had put the Iodine on her hand.

Piccolo pressed the gauze onto Gohan knee gently, Gohan flinched when the Iodine covered gauze touched his knee but let Piccolo continue, Piccolo then took out the Antibiotic cream that he had seen Bulma use and squeezed some on to his finger and then rubbed it on to the wound, finally Piccolo took out a gauze pad and some gauze wrap, he place the gauze pad onto Gohan's wound and then wrapped the gauze wrap around Gohan's knee snuggly but not to tight, "There, good as new" said Piccolo putting everything away while Gohan flexed his bandaged knee and then looked over to Piccolo smiling, "THANK YOU!" Gohan said and wrapped his arms around Piccolo's waist and nuzzled his head into his chest.

Piccolo smiled and placed his hand on Gohan's head while wrapping his arm around Gohan's waist returning the embrace, "Come on Gohan I think the grown-ups will be worried about us" said Piccolo, Gohan nodded and let Piccolo go and walked over to the door and out into the hall with Piccolo at his side.

*Meanwhile*

"HAHAHAHA!" Vegeta continued to roll on the floor laughing at the soak and wet Goku in front of him with the seat of his pants burned off, "OK Vegeta, that was not funny!" said Goku a little annoyed, "HAHAHA YES *snort* IT *gasp* WAS HAHAHA!" Vegeta said trying to breathe and laugh at the same time, "What happened here?" said Bra looking at Goku, "Nothing Bra" said Goku smiling at her, Piccolo and Gohan came walking over to them at that time.

"Piccolo, Gohan there you…Gohan what happened to your knee?" said Goku looking at Gohan's bandaged knee, "I fell and hurt my knee but Piccolo fixed it!" said Gohan smiling up at Piccolo, "Wow Piccolo you did a good job" said Goku taking a closer look at Gohan's knee, "Thank you Mr. Goku" said Piccolo whose face was turning a light shade of lavender from the praise. "Come on you guys let's go find Trunks" said Goku walking down the hall with the kids following him.

*Fifteen minutes later*

They had found Trunks looking for them in the playroom and they where now trying to find something to do the rest of the day, "Hey, I got a good idea!" said Goku looking over at Trunks, "What?" said Trunks looking up at him, "Why don't we take them fishing?" said Goku smiling, "Good idea, I don't think they could get into any trouble fishing what do you guys think?" said Trunks looking at the kids who had been lessening in on Goku and Trunks and got a loud "YAH!" from all of them, "OK let's just tell my mom and then we can leave.

*Five minutes later*

After Trunks got the OK from his mother they set off for the pond where Goku and Gohan normally fished at when Gohan was a kid, hoping that they wouldn't get into trouble during the trip.
