LILY: Ok, I know people just don't pay attention to the intro's so I'm not gonna bother anymore. I'm just going to save anything relatively important for my commercial breaks.

MIRAI CLONE: *sweatdrops* You know, that's a good idea, Lil.

LILY: *nodding her head* I know. So anyway, disclaimer, I don't own the characters of DBZ. I own my clones, my own mate Mirai Trunks *points to her mate who just sweatdrops but doesn't say anything*, Mystic Gohan, Gambit from X-men Evolution, Neil from the Final Fantasy Movie, Kou Leifoh from the Bouncer for the PS2 game, and my newest clone, Inuyasha, my Demi-Demon Doggie! *gives Inuyasha Clone a bonecushing hug* They're all mine, except for Gohan, he's my best friend's mate. So now on with the story.

LILY: Oh, and keep them reviews coming, k? Enjoy ladies and gents.

The Dare

Chapter Twenty Two: "This Doesn't Look Good"



Trunks peered cautiously around the corner, making sure to keep the rest of his body except for his eyes safely out of sight. Goten was crouched below him, doing the same thing. The two demi-saiyan boys were keeping a close eye on Gohan's class while the students were being lectured by Trunks's Mom all about the lab they were in. Actually, what they were more interested in, was the lavandar haired teengager Gohan was talking too.

"Well? Do you see it?" Trunks whicpered as Goten shook his head.

"No, Trunks. It doesn't look like Mirai has his sword with him this time. But.....I wonder why. He never goes anywhere without it." Goten said confused as Trunks smacked his best friend on his head.

"Goten, you baka. Look at all the other kids! Of course he can't carry his sword with him! That must mean it's still in his room. Come on, we'll be back later. We'll hide the sword in my Dad's room, then we'll go and get those two. It'll be great!" Trunks said as Goten nodded.

"Ok, Trunks. If you say so. But.....but what if they're not here when we get back?" Goten asked as Trunks stared at his best friend in shock.

"Goten. Are you sure you're feeling ok? That's the *second* smart thing you've said today!" Trunks said as Goten grinned happily at him.

"Thanks, Trunks!" Goten beamed. Trunks just shook his head.

"Ok, new plan. *I'll* get the sword and hide it and *you* stay with your brother. Then, when I'm finished hiding Mirai's sword, I'll find your ki, and we'll start the fun then, ok?" Trunks asked with a gleam in his eye as Goten nodded a little uncertainly.

"Well, ok Trunks. But are you sure this is such a good idea? I mean, what if niichan gets really mad? He got all mad yesterday, remember?" Goten asked as Trunks's face lit up.

"Yeah, you're right! Hey, wait a minute! You remember *why* Gohan was is a bad mood yesterday Goten?" Trunks asked with a smirk as Goten shook his head cluelessly.

"No, why Trunks?" Goten asked.

"He didn't that girl to find out about him being a Saiyan and all that other stuff, remember? You remember that look on his face when we transformed infront of that girl?" Trunks asked as Goten hesitated for a moment, before slowly nodding.

"Yeah.....what about it Trunks?" Goten asked.

"Think about it, *that's* how we'll have fun with Gohan today! If he didn't want his girlfriend to find out all that stuff, I bet he doesn't want his classmates to either! This is gonna be great!" Trunks said, rubbing his hands together as Goten stared at his best friend in fear.

"But.....Trunks, he'll kill us. I don't want to die! I just got my Daddy back!" Goten whined as Trunks waved his hand at Goten.

"Don't worry about it, Gohan isn't gonna hurt us. He won't be able to." Trunks said as Goten looked at him sceptically.

"But.....Trunks, Gohan's bigger than us, and faster than us, and stronger than us, and older than us, and more powerful than us, and smarter- " Goten began.

"Ok, ok, I get the idea Goten! Sheesh! I mean, if he can't find us, he can't hurt us, right?" Trunks asked.

"You mean like Mirai?" Goten asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah, if he can't find the sword, he can't hurt us with it either. But we'd better get them both at the same time. So we know how we're gonna get Gohan, what about Mirai? I guess we'll have to resort to our usual pranks for him! Hey, why don't we start by dying his hair pink? That'd be neat!" Trunks said.

"But Trunks, his hair is already purple." Goten said confused as Trunks narrowed his eyes at Goten.

"So? What's *that* supposed to mean? *MY* hair is the same color, remember?" Trunks asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Huh? Oh yeah! I guess I forgot." Goten said as Trunks sweatdropped.

"Um.......anyway, I'm going to go hide the sword. You stay with Gohan, ok? If he asks, just make something up. On second thought, just tell him you wanted to see what he was doing. Oh and hey! See if that girl wants to help! It'd be so much cooler if we got her to help us! Gohan is her father and Mirai is her sensei! It's like ironic, I think." Trunks said, before shaking his head.

"Anyway, go! I'll be back in a few minutes. Just whatever you do, *DON'T* tell Gohan and Mirai what we're up to, ok? If you do, you.....you have to eat my Mom's meatloaf!" Trunks said making a face a split second before Goten.

"That's mean, Trunks." Goten said as Trunks shrugged his shoulders.

"Just don't say anything and you won't have to. Alright, I'm leaving. See ya." Trunks said with a smirk before racing off down the hall towards Mirai's room.

Goten watched him go for a minute, before turning around and trotting over to join his brother and his friends.

*Mirai looking at his mate oddly* You got into the oreos again, didn't you?

*Lily's eyes lit up* Mmmm! I love oreos! The mint and creme are SOO YUMMMYYYY!

*Mirai shaking his head* Ok, I'm disposing of those cookies when we get home. You're starting to frighten me again. Kami help me, as if last time wasn't bad enough.

Oh, you mean you sobbing hysterically on the floor, clutching your tail and rocking back and forth with Saiya, Veggie-papa and I ate our yummy cookies?

*Mirai* You didn't see what they did to you guys. I think there was seriously something wrong with those cookies. Father was starting to act.....odd........like a three year old, and Saiya had a weird glazed look in hey eye, and you.....you were just scary!

*Lily laughing* It was fun, wasn't it?

*Mirai pales* Fun?! FUN?! Lily, Father almost blasted your Gambit clone to the next demension, while Kou, Mystic, and Inuyasha made comments from the sidelines!

*Lily blinks* So *that's* what happened then, huh? Veggie-papa didn't hurt Remy, did he? He should have known better. Next to you, he's my favorite clone!

*Mirai sweatdrops* No, he didn't hurt Remy. Though when he finds out Remy was flirting with Saiya, I think he's going to be one Crispy Cajun.

*Lily blinks* No. Veggie-papa won't hurt him. I won't let him. Anyway, wow! Mirai, they're frightening me! Look, they're glaring at me! *hides behind her mate*

*Mirai sighing* Well, get back to the story and they won't.

*Lily blinks* Good idea. Ok, don't hurt me. Here's the rest. Enjoy. Oh, and Baka Che? How would you like my Inuyasha clone for your mate?

*Mirai blinks* What *are* you, some kind of female pimp?!

EXCUSE ME?! Folks, enjoy the story, I have to kick my mate's ass now.

*Mirai yelps and jumps out the window closely followed by his mate right on his tail*



Hey, squirt. What are you doing here? Weren't you looking for Trunks?" Gohan asked once he spotted Goten trodding over to him. Goten grinned up at his older brother.

"Yeah, but I wanted to see what you're doing." Goten said as Mirai raised an eyebrow at the boy, before looking up to scan the room for the missing eight year old in question.

"Where's chibi Trunks? Why isn't he with you?" Mirai asked, before looking back down at Goten. "What are you two up to?"

"We're not up to anything, Mirai, sir. I just wanted to see my niichan and Trunks didn't want to come with me cause he was hungry. He said he already knows how everything works and he didn't want to hear it from his Mom for the three hundreth time." Goten said as the two teenagers blinked down at him in surprise before Gohan looked over at Mirai.

"Sounds like something Trunks would say. Er, I mean, the younger you. Er, I mean the one from this time." Gohan said noticing the look Mirai was giving him.

"Gohan? Where's Pan? Can she play with me and Trunks while you and the older kids walk around CC? Please? We'll bring her back." Goten said as Gohan looked down at his little brother, before looking over to where Videl and Pan were sitting in the back of the room, Videl listening intently to Bulma drone on with Pan sat next to her mother, leaning against her shoulder and struggling not to fall asleep. With a chuckle, Gohan nodded at Goten and pointed to where Videl and Pan were.

"Sure, squirt. Looks like she isn't having much fun anyhow." Gohan said as Goten nodded happily and skipped over to the girls. After talking to Pan for a few moments, the two came bounding back over to Gohan happily.

"Really Daddy? Are you sure?" Pan asked as Gohan blushed and squatted down low next to the little girl.

"Panny, you can't call me Daddy, remember? We talked about this before, yesterday. You remember don't you? And the same for Mama, remember?" Gohan asked as Pan hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Cause you're not old enough to be my Daddy, right?" Pan asked as Gohan nodded.

"Yup. So, you got to remember ok?" Gohan asked as Pan smiled and nodded.

"I will, Da-er, I will Gohan, I promise." Pan said.

"Ok. Go on. Have fun. Just, be careful around Trunks ok? He tends to come up with some really bad ideas, and since Goten is his best friend, he always tags along. Just make sure to keep out of trouble. I can count on you to keep an eye on them, right?" Gohan asked as Pan smiled proudly at her father and nodded.

"Good. Ok, go have fun." Gohan said as Goten and Pan raced out the door.

"Be careful around Trunks?" Mirai asked, raising an eyebrow playfully as Gohan blushed.

"I didn't mean you." Gohan said as Mirai nodded slowly.

"No, I know. You meant the *other*, *younger* me?" Mirai asked with a chuckle as Gohan look at his seriously.

"You don't know him like I do. Trust me, you two are about as different as your father and my father are." Gohan said.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Mirai asked with a laugh.

"Will you leave me alone? You know what I mean!" Gohan said with a laugh.

"Come on, looks like Mom is taking the class into another part of CC. Better keep up before someone catches up with Father and accidently breathes on him or something." Mirai said.

"You wanna jinx me or something, boxer boy? Your father is the *last* person I need ruining this 'field trip' today. That's why we're 'protecting' the class, remember?" Gohan asked as Mirai raised an eyebrow.

"It's not like he's gonna come in and blow up the room, Gohan. Father's not *that* bad." Mirai said as Gohan shook his head.

"Again I say, you don't know him like I know, him Mirai. And trust me, it's not the room I'd be worried about. It's my entire class." Gohan said.
