Ch.11: Icy Cold Awakening
The next day came quickly, much to the teen saiyan's dismay. They didn't know why they were being forced to go shopping with Bulma. They all thought they had plenty of clothes, but Bulma insisted on taking them to the mall.
Bulma, M. Trunks and Akurei had arrived at Chichi's house at 9 that Saturday morning.
"Gohan, Peresia, Yuki! Bulma's here! Come down, it's time to go!" Chichi yelled for her children, but no answer came from upstairs.
~*~
Peresia and Yuki were still sleeping, but they slept in their clothes, knowing Bulma was going to arrive early.
Gohan had awoken chibi Trunks and Goten so they could wake the girls up (c. Trunks spent the night). He wondered what they would use this time to wake the two up.
While Goten and his partner in evil got things ready, Gohan went downstairs to meet the others.
"Where are Yuki and Peresia."
"Don't worry mom. They'll be down in a moment." Gohan smiled, trying to keep from laughing. Both Akurei and M. Trunks saw it and knew that Goten and c. Trunks were doing the waking up. Within a few seconds of Gohan's decent downstairs, two blood curdling screams came from upstairs, followed by the stomping of feet and two ki blasts. "And that would be them now."
Goten and c. Trunks were the first to be seen running down the stairs and taking their places behind their mothers.
"GOTEN!"
"TRUNKS!"
Everyone looked to the top of the stairs where Peresia and Yuki stood, soaking wet, forming a ki blast in their hands. Their eyes were blazing with fire, and everyone was a bit afraid, especially the chibis, who were still hiding behind their mothers.
The two made their way down the stairs, growling in anger. Gohan and M. Trunks went up to them, with slight hesitation.
"Calm down. They always play pranks on people."
"It doesn't bother me that we're wet..."
"It's the fact that they used ice cold water to wake us up!"
"Uh...I can understand that, but you can forgive them right?"
"I bet you told them to do this didn't you Gohan?" Peresia and Yuki glared at their brother. Gohan formed a sweat drop on the back of his head.
"Um..."
"I knew it." The girls gave death glares.
"Come on. I'm sure you can think of something else to punish them than blowing them to pieces." M. Trunks intervened. The girls' blasts disappeared and smirks appeared on their once angry faces. They looked to one another and nodded in satisfaction.
"Fine. They can go to the mall with us."
"We wouldn't want them to be bored here at the house all day."
The chibis were relieved that was all that they had to do, but they weren't very happy about it.
"Now that that's settled, we better get going." Bulma headed out the door. Peresia and Yuki powered up to dry themselves off before they followed the rest of the group outside.
~*~
They had finally arrived to the mall. Trunks, Gohan, Peresia, Akurei and Yuk flew there but landed in a deserted area before joining Bulma and the two chibis at the entrance (Bulma took the car of course).
"What all are we getting here?" Peresia asked.
"Well, we need to get you guys some new sparring outfits. Then we need to get you three girls a dress and Trunks and Gohan a suit outfit."
"Hold up!" Yuki nearly yelled.
"What are the dresses for?" Akurei questioned as the three girls stared at Bulma in disbelief.
"Well, Friday is Valentines day so that night I've decided to throw a party, and you can't wear sparring gear to the dance."
"Why not?" Peresia crossed her arms.
"Come on. Don't you have someone you want to impress?" The girls stared at Bulma in an odd way that no one could tell what they were thinking. "You can invite anyone and everyone you want. I'm also inviting a few people."
Akurei, Yuki and Peresia didn't like the sound of having to wear dresses anymore than Gohan and Trunks liked the idea of suits.
"Well, come on. We have a lot of ground to cover." Bulma walked off, and the others hesitantly followed her inside the crowded mall. Peresia and Yuki had long forgiven Goten and c. Trunks and were holding their hands so they wouldn't get lost.
As they walked through the crowds of people, Akurei spotted a familiar face and weaved her way through the people.
"Nami!"
The orange haired girl turned around and smiled as Akurei approached, followed by everyone else.
"Hey Akurei." At that time the others had just arrived beside Akurei. "Hey guys."
Bulma walked forward. "Are you going to introduce me or what?"
"Oh...sorry. Nami, this is my mother, mom this is our friend Nami."
"Nice to meet you Nami."
"Likewise. So, what brings you guys to the mall?"
"We're shopping for dresses."
"Not that we want to." Peresia added.
"What for?"
"I'm throwing a party Friday night. You are more than welcome to come."
"Thanks. I'll be there."
"And what about you?"
"My boyfriend and I were just looking around, then he signed me up for the swimsuit competition."
"Swimsuit competition?" Bulma's eyes lit up and Peresia started to regret ever asking Nami what she was doing. Gohan, M. Trunks and the chibis saw the looks on the girls faces, and felt a bit sorry for them. "Where do you sign up at?"
"You really don't have to. You just show up at the fountain around 10:30 and they'll take your name down then."
"Thank you. We best get going. We have a little more shopping to do." Bulma smiled and grabbed c. Trunks and Goten, dragging them behind her. Peresia, Akurei and Yuki followed, a bit depressed.
"Cheer up. It's just a swimsuit competition."
"Shut up Gohan." Yuki snapped.
"You're not the one who has to wear a tiny piece of clothing." Peresia added, and Akurei completed the comment.
"Or show almost all of your body to complete strangers."
Gohan and Trunks kept their mouths shut. The girls were obviously angry, again, so why would they want to push their buttons?
Next Time: 'Bathing Suit Competition Part1' (self explanatory. The girls are forced to enter the competition, and meet Maxine, who has entered as well.)
A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter and the ones to come. The Bathing suit competition has three parts and gets a bit funny when some guys try to approach the girls. ^-^
