Hey everyone! I'm back with another update! Sorry it took so long. School sucks. Calc III sucks really bad. Never take it. Seriously, I'm a frikken Computer Science major! What do I need Calc III for? Anyway, I could use a few suggestions here. I plan on adding a few more people from the past to this story. I already have one group of people in mind, but there is a problem. I've noticed that Cell Games Gohan has no one else his own age. I need some ideas for who (single or plural) I could bring back at about his age. Please be sure to review and give me your suggestions (even if you think they are dumb)! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed this story, I really appreciate it! Now, on with the story!

Chapter Four:
Saiya-jin Fairytale
It was several hours before the teenage Son Gohan returned to the sitting room where everyone else was, followed by a visibly shaken and wide-eyed Videl. When they returned, they found that the young Goten and Trunks had scooted off to a corner of the room and were talking in hushed ones along with Bra and Pan, as well as the Gohan from the arrival of the Saiya-jins and the Gohan from Namek. The Gohan from the Cell Games was talking with the teenage Goten and Trunks, while Mirai no Trunks and Marron glared at each other. Juunana-gou just sat there quietly.
Teen Gohan gave a sigh and led Videl to a nearby chair. He then walked over to Marron. "Hey."
The blond teen seemed to snap out of a daze and shifted her attention to Gohan. "What?"
"Um, isn't a little past the chibi's bedtime?"
Marron glanced down at her wrist watch. "Oh crap!" She stood up. "Girls! It's way past your bed time!"
"Aaawww!" the two chibi's pouted.
"Don't 'Aw' me! Of to bed, NOW! I'm already going to be in a heap of trouble because of you two! Go, now!"
The two girls rose from the group of kids. Chibi Trunks and Goten snickered. "Ha ha. You have to go to bed," Chibi Trunks taunted, earning him a glare from both girls.
"What's so funny, Trunks?" Teen Gohan asked. "It's past your bedtime, too." Pan and Bra grinned as Chibi Trunks and Goten's faces fell.
Marron nodded. "Right. The boys can stay in the same room as the girls. There are plenty of beds. Well, come on." She marched out of the room, trailed by six chibi's. The two younger Gohans didn't need to be ordered off to bed, they just went obediently.
On the way out, however, Pan stopped in front of Teen Gohan. "Daddy, will you reed me a bedtime story?"
Gohan blinked and stared down at his future daughter. All the other chibi's quickly voiced there support for the idea.. "Uh, well . . . I don't really . . . ," Gohan stammered, but he didn't get to finish.
"Go ahead, Gohan. Tell them a bedtime story." Gohan turned to find Videl more or less recovered. She sat, legs crossed and arms folded, glare/smirking at him.
"Er, um . . . yes, ma'am."
Everyone snickered.
* * * * * * *
"Alright, what story do you want?" Gohan asked the chibi's who were all sitting on their respective beds now dressed in their pajamas.
"Frieza!" Goten chimed.
"The Cell Games!" Trunks suggested.
"Dad's arrival!" Bra called out.
"The Cell Games!" Pan cried.
The two young Gohans exchanged glances. "We don't really care." Teen Gohan sighed.
A bead of sweat rolled down the back of Teen Gohan's head. "Don't you kids listen to fairytales or anything . . . less violent?"
Chibi Trunks whimpered. "No violence?"
"Tell us a fairy tale!" Pan interrupted.
"Yeah!" Goten added. "A new one, nii-chan!"
Teen Gohan blinked. "A new one?"
The Gohan with long hair (the one from the Saiyan saga) shrugged. "Just make it up."
"A Saiya-jin fairytale!" Trunks chimed in, once again excited.
Teen Gohan's lip curled and his eye twitched. All six chibi's looked up at him with wide, excited eyes. Gohan sighed. "Fine. A Saiya-jin fairytale." Teen Gohan sat down on the edge of Pan's bed. Faster than the human eye could see, all the chibi's had left their beds and were now seated on Pan's as well, staring at him expectantly.
Gohan took a deep breath. "Alright. Once upon a time, in the far away kingdom of -"
"Vegeta-sei!" Chibi Trunks exclaimed.
"Err, right. Once upon a time, in the far away kingdom of Vegeta-sei, there lived a beautiful princess -"
"Me!" both Pan and Bra exclaimed at the same time.
"Uh, alright. There lived two beautiful princesses, Pan and Bra. Now, in this kingdom there also lived an evil witch -"
"Frieza!" the Gohan with gelled hair (from Namek) exclaimed.
Teen Gohan blinked, then grinned. "Right, the evil sissy witch Frieza." All the chibi's giggled. "Now, Frieza was jealous of the Saiya-jin princesses' beauty, so he/she decided to kidnap them. One day, while the Princesses were out picking flowers -"
"Sparring!" Pan corrected.
"Shopping!" Bra amended.
Teen Gohan raised an eyebrow. "Uh . . . how about riding horses?"
"Riding Icarus!" the youngest Gohan chimed in.
"Um, okay. While the princesses were out riding their purple dragon, Icarus, the evil sissy witch Frieza put a spell on a tree full of apples. When the girls stopped to eat the apples, they instantly fell asleep, and Frieza took captured them. He/she took the princesses to his/her secret castle -"
"Kami's Lookout!" Bra interjected.
"Er, why not? He/she took the princesses to his/her secret castle, Kami's Lookout. Now, when the Saiya-jin king -"
"Me!" exclaimed Trunks.
"Dad!" exclaimed Bra.
"Uh, Vegeta." Trunks pouted. Teen Gohan sighed. "Now, when the Saiya-jin king, Vegeta heard that his daughters had been kidnaped by Frieza, he was very upset. He called his son -"
"Me!" Trunks exclaimed again.
"- Prince Trunks," Gohan continued, "And his greatest general, who was actually stronger than he was -"
"Dad!" exclaimed Goten and the two younger Gohans.
"- Goku, along with his sons, Gohan and Goten. Now, Vegeta, Goku, and their sons all set out to look for the princesses. Now, none of the Saiya-jins knew where Frieza's secret castle was located. Now the great wise man, Dende, told the king that there was one person who knew where Frieza's castle was located. The king would have to travel through a dark forest and a murky swamp to reach a small village called -"
"New Namek!" supplied Bra.
"Right. A small village called New Namek. There he would find a great warrior who had once been to Kami's Lookout. The hero -"
"The Great Saiya-man!" exclaimed Goten.
"Er, sure. The hero, the Great Saiya-man, could tell the king how to get to Frieza's castle. King Vegeta and the others immediately set out to find the Great Saiya-man. In the forest they came across a bridge. When the tried to cross, a horrible troll appeared, and -"
"And the great Prince Trunks blasted the troll into little pieces!" Trunks declared.
Teen Gohan sweat-dropped. "Oh, fine. So, the party moved on through the forest. Soon they reached the swamp. Now, in the swamp, it was very hard to tell where you were going, so they got lost. Fortunately, a little faerie appeared -"
"Piccolo!" added the Gohan from Namek.
"Uh, well . . . okay. Fortunately, the little faerie, Piccolo, appeared and offered to lead them out of the swamp to New Namek. Soon, everyone arrived in the small village. They were led to the home of the Great Saiya-man by one of the villagers. King Vegeta asked -"
"Demanded!" Trunks corrected.
"King Vegeta demanded that the Great Saiya-man show them how to find Kami's Lookout. The Great Saiya-man led the group to his house and -,"
"And did a bunch of funny poses!" Goten cried gleefully.
"Like the Ginyu Force!" the Gohan from Namek added.
Teen Gohan sweat-dropped. "Fine, fine. Whatever. Anyway, the Great Saiya-man told them that he knew the way to Kami's Lookout, but he could not leave the town just then to show them. You see a fierce monster had been plaguing the town for the past few weeks, and the Great Saiya-man alone couldn't stop it. The monster -"
"Cell!" Pan interjected.
"Okay, the monster, Cell, had to be defeated before the Great Saiya-man could go and sho the king where Kami's Lookout was. Goku volunteered to defeat Cell for the Great Saiya-man so he could show them the way. The Great Saiya-man led the group to Cell's lair. Goku and Cell battled and battled, until finally -"
"Goku admitted he couldn't beat Cell and gave up!" Trunks interjected.
Teen Gohan blinked. "Huh? No! Goku -"
"Had his son fight instead!" Bra added.
"And Gohan killed Cell and saved the town!" Pan cried happily.
"Then the Great Saiya-man led the King Vegeta and the others to Kami's Lookout!" the youngest Gohan added.
"Hey, wait! Who is telling this story?" Teen Gohan said, trying to get the chibi's attention.
The chibi's ignored the teen. Trunks continued, "But, on the way there, they came across a bridge guarded by Frieza's loyal minion -"
"Captain Ginyu!" added the gel haired Gohan.
"Then Trunks and Goten fought Captain Ginyu and threw him off the bridge!" Goten continued.
"And they all went to Kami's Lookout!" added Bra.
"Where Goku fought Frieza!" said Goten.
"And Vegeta fought Frieza's father, King Kold!" exclaimed Trunks.
"And Gohan fought Frieza's brother Cooler!" added Pan.
"And Goten and Trunks went and found Pan and Bra," added the youngest Gohan.
"And Frieza, King Kold, and Cooler were blasted into oblivion," said Trunks.
"And they all went back to Vegeta-sei!" added Bra.
"And lived happily ever after!" concluded the Gohan from Namek.
"The end!" all the kids said together. Then, in an instant, all the children were back in their own beds, under the covers.
Teen Gohan blinked in surprise. "Uh . . . . right. Good night." With that, he left, closing the door.
* * * * * * *
Teen Gohan returned to the sitting room to find Mirai Trunks, Teen Trunks, and Teen Goten the only ones left up. Gohan plopped down in a plushy chair. "Did everyone else go to bed?" he asked.
Mirai Trunks nodded. "Yeah. We each have our own rooms." Gohan nodded.
"Anyway," Teen Trunks began, "we were thinking. Your younger counterpart thought that maybe if him, you, me, and the other me (he indicated towards Mirai Trunks) put our heads together, we might be able to fix the time machine ourselves."
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Mirai Trunks nodded. "Sure. The other me is a co-owner of Capsule Corp in this time, and I have plenty of experience working on time machines. And you're supposed to be some kind of bonafide genius. I think we can handle it."
"And I can help!" added Teen Goten.
"Uh, thanks, Goten," Teen Trunks said, "But no thanks. You remember our science fair project?"
"Er, oh yeah. Right. I'll just watch."
"You in?" Mirai Trunks asked.
Gohan shrugged. "Sure. Why not? I have nothing else to do."
"You could try putting the moves on Videl," Goten suggested. He and Teen Trunks both cracked up laughing, and Mirai Trunks chuckled.
Gohan glared at the future version of his little brother. "Shut it, you! Anyway, I'm going to bed."
"Good idea," Mirai Trunks agreed, rising from the couch. The other Trunks and Goten followed suit. "We'll show you where your rooms are." And with that, they left for a good night's sleep.
