Next Chapter!!! Chapter Five: Congratulations, It's. . .Got No Name.
A few days went by, and Goku learned that the woman who had given him the shot, Priscilla, was a nototious 'pricker,' A nurse whose only method of therapy was to drug you so badly that you didn't get in her way. He learned quickly that he had to be absolutely silent around her.
Chichi finally came to visit Goku, and she brought the baby with her, but kept him c lose to her side. "Goku. . .I havent thought of a name for him yet. Since he's your son, I think you ought to help name him," She forced a smile, and showed him the sleeping child, against her better instincts. Goku immidiately looked sad.
"He looks. . .like me. Oh. . ."
"What should we call him?" Chichi asked softly. Goku thought for a moment. A voice in his head commented: "If he's got your ugly mug you should call him Shithead or-"
Goku cringed. "H-how about. . ." He grasped for a name that wasn't insulting. "Goten?"
"That's a good name, I was kind of at a loss," Said Chichi.
"You. . .really think so?"
"Of course. You know what happened when I tried to name Gohan."
"Yeah. . ."Goku stared at her wistfully.
"I- we have to go now. Goodbye Goku," Chichi smiled sadly at him and left, taking Goten with her. Goku sighed.
The door opened again.
"So, you;re one of those few who actually get visitors, huh? Well, it's not like that makes a difference. Time for your shot!" Priscilla held up the glisteneing metal instrument. Goku backed up against the wall.
"I didn't . . .do anything. . ."
"Hmm, ok. How about this?" She walked up to him and kicked him in the stomach. He didn't make a noise.
"A tough guy, huh? Well, you're still just a boy to me, and I know how to make you crack." She went out into the hall and got her little cart of supplies, aimed it at Goku, and pushed. It came spinning at him, but he caught it. She growled. "That does it!" Priscilla had never been outdone before, and she wasn't about to let a schizo one-up her. She picked up the janitor' mop and brandished it. Goku raised his eyebrows.
"That won't work," He said.
"Just watch me." Priscilla swung with surprising swiftness for her pudgy body. She hit goku across the face. It didn't hurt him much, but it distracted him, allowing her to swing again before he had a achance to defend. She brought her unusual weapon down, then swiftly back up. Goku winced. She'd hit him in the groin. He bit his lip, determined not to make a sound.
"Give up, you can't win." She stuck the needle into his arm. He yelped. "it's kind of sad that you're actually more afraid of the shot than it's effects, kid."
"Just. . .you wait. . ." Goku slurred, same as before. he slumped over, fast asleep. riscilla frowned. every time she gave this patient a shot he said the same thing, abd he never got any further than: "Just you wait." It was disconcerting. What was he trying to say, and why did she, a hardened old nurse with so much experience with the insane, feel so frightened by it? She left the room, forcing it from her mind.
Sorry it's so short, but I'm already working the next chapter so the wait shouldn't be long.
