"Time for a bath," Videl says, clapping her hand once.

"What?!" Trunks asked "After all that work!"

"No! We weren't that bad," Goten whimpered.

"Can't we just jump in the pool?" Trunks asked again.

"Guys, you're taking a bath. You're filthy," she said sternly,

pointing to both of them.

"Well...you're dirty too," Trunks countered, which was true, Videl had

gotten a little dirty while cleaning "So you have to take one too."

"Okay, I'll take one with you guys, it'll be fun," Videl said happily,

not letting Trunks win.

"Fine," Trunks grumbled.

"Lead the way big man," Videl says, giving Trunks a little push.

Trunks and Goten walked the stairs, Videl following than walked down

the hallway and opened the second door on the left. They walked in

and Videl behind them, turning on the lights as she did. The first

thing she noticed was the bath. It was huge. It was about the size

of the swimming pool outside. On the walls were a few sinks and

showers, in the back through a door were toilets. The room had light

yellow and blue tiles in a checkerboard pattern.

On the wall was a thermo-stat device, only above it was "Tub Temp."

Videl turned it so the water would be warm. A red light glowed at the

bottom of the pool than faded. Steam rose from the water.

"Do we have too Videl," Trunks asked, putting on his best puppy face.

"Yeah do we," Goten asked too, putting on his best puppy face.

"Yes. C'mon guys, its not that bad. We can make it fun," Videl said,

walking up to them "Come on guys, suits off and get in."

"No, you first," Goten said, putting his arms across his chest.

"No you're going in first," Videl said, getting a little annoyed at

the boys' childish behavior...well on second thought they are children.

"Make me," Goten said stubbornly.

"Fine," Videl grabs Goten's arm, lifting him up and puts her fingers

into his bathing suit elastic band and yanked it down over his legs.

When the suit is off she swings him into the bath-tub. Goten laughs

hysterically in mid-air than hits the warm water with a splash.

Trunks looked at Videl. "No way," he said.

"Yes way," Videl returned grinning.

Trunks turned to run but Videl pounced and slipped her fingers into

the waistband and pulled it down. Videl grabbed under his arm,

tickling him all the while and lifted him up out of the suit. Than

she tossed him into the tub.

Videl slipped her bikini off and slid into the warm water. She really

wasn't worried about them seeing her naked, they were kids and didn't

care. Suddenly a wave of water washed over her. Already the boys were

having a splash fight, which Videl joined. After a few minutes Videl

began pulling the boys over to the side of the tub, where there was

soap and shampoo. First she grabbed Goten and rubbed shampoo into his

crazy black hair. Than dunked him under to rinse it off. She soaped

up the rest of his body till he was squeaky clean.

Next she got Trunks, and cleaned him up, making sure there was not a

single spot of pizza sauce left on him. She took a glob of shampoo

and began rubbing it into her hair. "Okay guys, after this bath I

want you to get ready for bed and than I'll let you watch TV for a

while," she said, than slipped his head under the water so all the

soap would wash out.

The boys nodded than continued to play. Videl watched them for a

little bit. I can't believe half an hour ago they were monsters she

thought, shaking her head. "Okay guys, I'll go get your clothes, where

are they," she asks lifting her self over the edge of the pool and to

a shelf of white towels.

"Umm.I think they're still in the car," Trunks said, putting a finger to his lip, thinking.

Videl sighed as she wrapped a towel around herself. "I'll run out

there and grab them," she said, than turned to look at the boys again

"You be good while I'm gone, I'll be right back."

Trunks nods and leans over and whispers something in Goten's ear.

Goten giggles quietly, than they continue playing.

Videl walks down stairs, and out the front door. Walking onto the

porch, Videl sees movement in the corner of her eye. Little hands,

grab her towel, yanking it away. The towel disappears into the house

and the front door closes, than locks. Videl stares at the door,

dumbfounded for a few seconds. Then it hit her, she was naked and

locked outside. Inside the door she could hear the giggling of two

boys.
