Death by Margaritas

Chapter Five: The Meaning of Valentines Day

This story needs a lot more reviews. I don't understand why it doesn't have more, to tell the truth... I'd review! Lol, Anyways, tell your friends! And thanks ShadowYoukai for reviewing regularly!

"Class," Mrs. Lemonlemonlemon called from the font of the classroom. "Today is February 14th. Do any of you know what that is?"

Trunks tossed his fourth paper airplane, "Valentines Day."

Despite the obvious pink, red, purple and white decorations, their teacher thought that they were total idiots. Trunks passed a valentine to the girl next to him. He winked and looked back at his drawing of an inflated Mrs. Lemonlemonlemon.

"Very good, Mr. Briefs," Even the teacher snickered at his last name. "Now, I know all of you have heard about Valentines Day, as you are in fourth grade, but I want you all to do a page report on the holiday." The class groaned in disappointment.

Trunks went to his locker and pulled out his MP3 player. Goten caught up with him on the way to the big doors to outside, "Trunks, I don't want to do a report. I hate this holiday... My parents always have a big argument and lock themselves in their room so we can't hear them. I mean... sometimes we can hear them yelling, and other days, they're silent."

"That's weird, Goten," Trunks put his skateboard down on the hallway floor. "My parents just yell all the time and anywhere. They could care less if anyone else hears."

Just then, Trunks spotted his dad's midnight blue Hummer and waved goodbye to his friend.

He opened the door and hopped into the passenger's seat. "Board in the back," Vegeta reminded him. Trunks tossed his skateboard into the backseat, along with his backpack.

Trunks turned to his father with a little notebook, "Dad, can you help me with my project?"

"What is it?" Vegeta asked without even taking his eyes off the road.

"A project on the meaning of Valentines Day," Trunks turned his baseball cap around and took the cap off of his pen.

"I don't have a clue," Vegeta looked into the rear view mirror to change lanes. "Ask your mother."

"Well, what does it mean to you?" Trunks dotted the paper impatiently with his pen.

Vegeta thought for a minute, "I guess it's a holiday full of sex and chocolate. To tell you the absolute truth."

Trunks wrote the note down without a full meaning of what Vegeta was talking about. His mom had said that sex was in movies, but she always fast-forwarded over those parts. Maybe it was time for the new Prince of Saiya-jins to investigate. Yes, this would be a very informative report.

When Vegeta and Trunks pulled up to Capsule Corp., Trunks ran inside, leaving his backpack and skateboard for his dad to grab. He ran inside to the kitchen where his mother was cutting celery, "Hi, Trunks! How was your day at school?"

She kissed his head and hugged him. Trunks was still holding his pen and paper, "Mom, what would you say is the meaning of Valentines Day?"

Bulma poured the celery into a soup pot. She wiped her hands off on her apron and brought her hand up to her chin, "Well, Valentines Day was named after a priest that was thrown into jail and he sent a message to his love that said 'from your valentine'. It's the holiday of love where everybody spends time with their special someone."

"Well, what's the significance of the paper thingies?" He asked.

"It's just a little note to say 'I love you' or 'I care' to someone," She said, returning to her soup.

"Why not just say it?" Trunks asked, scratching his forehead.

"I guess because it's just a lot easier to write something than say something," Bulma smiled, stealing a look at Vegeta. He crossed his arms and looked at the hallway carpet. Trunks looked from his mom stirring soup to his dad who had developed a fascination with the floor. Trunks sighed and left the room.

He sat on his computer after dinner, trying to find a good thing to write down in his report. It was about ten and he was supposed to be asleep, but was up finishing his report. Wait! What about what his dad was talking about? He flipped through his notes and decided that maybe it was time for some milk and cookies. Trunks cracked his door open and walked on hands and knees to the stairs. It was what he usually did and sometimes his grandma would come along and say 'Well, It looks like this baby needs some milk and cookies' and she used to pick him up and carry him downstairs, that is, until he got too big to carry. He crawled across the length of the hallway until he got to the stairs. He looked down into the living room and saw his parents sitting on the couch. They weren't watching TV or anything, they were eating chocolate! Trunks took out his notepad and scribbled down a couple of things. His dad would take a piece of chocolate and put it in his mom's mouth and then he would to the same for her.

He watched for a few minutes as this went back and forth and back and forth. He thought about going back into his room when his mom took a drink of champagne and then Vegeta got a look on his face and started to give her... artificial respiration? Trunks turned pale white and sat against the wall. He started to cry a little bit and then his grandpa walked out of the elevator door.

"What's the matter, Trunks?" He asked, kneeling by his grandson.

"I- I think Mommy is choking..." Trunks whimpered.

"What? Why would you say that?" Dr. Briefs face fell.

(A/N: Better pick it up! Snorts like Kaio-sama)

"Be-because, Dad was giving her artificial respiration..." Trunks sobbed into his sleeve. "I- I hope she's okay..."

Dr. Briefs looked down into the living room and then got to his feet, "I think she's fine. Come on, I'll tuck you in."

"And so," Trunks concluded his report. "You better be careful when you eat chocolate on Valentines Day, because you may need artificial respiration."

The class clapped and Trunks, although not fully understanding what exactly happened downstairs, got an A.

(A/N: Thank Kaio!)

Heh heh heh! I thought that chapter would be a nice addition to the collection. I could have gone a little deeper, but I wanted to keep the rating safe. Review please!
