Trunks was determined to make this Christmas the best that Goten had ever known. Goten was right that Trunks did tend to only give stuff that was his. However he never actually bought something nice for his friend. He thought about it for a long time. ' Um…what should I get for Goten? A new haircut?' He laughed. ' No… that would take something away from Goten… Goten is different… and so is his hair… um… lets think… what does Goten like the most?' Trunks knew that Goten liked so many things. He like animals and food… lots and lots of food. Trunks huffed as he just plopped on the ground. Trunks put his hands under his head thinking what he should do. ' Maybe I can get Goten a pet…' He thought.
Trunks' thoughts:
Trunks started to picture what would that be like. Goten was running around playing with his new pet. Chi-chi was in the kitchen. She would look at the ground and saw paw prints and footprints. She would turn red. " GOTEN!"
Gohan would cover his ears trying to block her out. Goten would be hiding in his brother's room under of the bed.
Gohan would look down at his brother. " Goten… what are you…"
Goten put his fingers to his mouth. " Sh…. Don't tell mom I'm in here…."
Gohan shook his head. ' Brothers.'
" GOTEN SON!" Chi-chi shouted. She stormed into Gohan's room with her pan of doom raised. " Where are you mister!" Gohan didn't say anything and continued to look down at his book. Chi-chi looked at the ground and there was mud all over it. " Goten… I know you are in here…. Get out here right now…"
Goten's head popped out from behind the bed. He looked like he was in total fear. " Yes mom?"
" Look at the mess you and your pet made! You should know better young man… you clean this up at once! And keep that creature outside!"
" But mom…." Goten wined.
" OUTSIDE!" Chi-chi shouts.
Gohan looked toward his brother. ' Don't worry kiddo… I'll work something out….' Gohan cleared his throat. " So mom… what's for dinner?"
Chi-chi glared at Gohan. " DINNER! Are you blind! Do you see what a big mess is around this house and your worried about DINNER!"
Gohan cringed and turned his attention to his book. ' Sorry I asked…'
Chi-chi looked at Goten. " I want you to clean all this mud up before you have dinner young man…"
Goten bowed his head as he walked out. " Yes mother…."
End of thought….
Trunks sighed when he finished thinking about that one. ' I don't think that would be the best thing I could do for him… even though he could work something out. Gohan told me how he had a pet dragon and his dad helped him out… but I doubt Goten would want to clean up all that mess…' Trunks sighs and looked up at the sky. ' Lets see here… what if I got him food…' Then Trunks shook his head. ' No.. that wouldn't work… Goten would eat it all in one day… It would just be like every other day…'
Trunks growled. " Geez… who would have ever guessed that finding a present for a friend would be so hard to do…" Trunks got up from where he was and started to walk off. ' Maybe on the way their I will get an idea.'
Trunks walked toward the gift shop. Then the idea hit him. " Hey… I know something that Goten would like…. He needs something to cheer him up… So I will make him a video our world's best pranks… but that's not all I'll give him… Oh yes…" Trunks walked into the shop and looked around some. He saw a picture frame with the words, ' Friends till the end.' On the bottom. Trunks smiled as he picked that up and put it in his cart. The young boy looked around some more and then spotted something else. It was the newest video gaming system around. Trunks already knew that he got it for himself… but he wanted to give Goten one of his own. So he picked that up and some cool games that he knew Goten would enjoy.
Trunks smiled when he saw all the things that he had. ' Things are coming together… well I hope Goten likes all these things… I plan to write him a nice little note in my card… that will bring everything together….'
Trunks walked up to the counter. A young woman smiled at him. " Welcome Mr. Briefs… gift shopping are we?"
Trunks nodded. " Yep… I'm shopping for my best friend Goten." He looked around. " I can do this can't I?"
The young woman blinked a few times. " What? What do you mean?"
" I can shop alone… right?"
" Well you are a special eight year old Mr. Briefs… you aren't just some common kid… if you were I wouldn't allow it… but for you… I'll make an exception."
Trunks smiled. " Thanks a lot… miss… uh… what's your name?"
" Oh sorry… my name is Liza…"
" Well thanks Liza… thanks a lot…"
" Don't mention it…." Liza charged up all the items and told Trunks the total. Trunks nodded and gave her the money.
" Keep the change… you deserve it."
Liza looked at the money left over. " But I… I can't except this…."
" Think of it as a Christmas present from me…"
Trunks was about to leave when Liza called him. " Uh… Mr. Briefs… I… uh know this might be stupid but can I have your autograph?"
Trunks smiled. " Sure…" He took Liza's book and signed it leaving a little message. " Have a nice holiday Liza…" With that Trunks left. He looked at the bag of stuff he got. ' I'm pretty sure Goten will enjoy this stuff that I am going to give him…. I plan to make this a Christmas he will never forget.'
To be continued…
Hey everyone. I don't know how good that was… quite honestly I didn't really know what Trunks should get him… but I plan to write a pretty nice note for Goten in his card. You will just have to wait and see what that is. Well anyway… I hope that you all enjoyed it anyway, Please review. Till next time.
