LAB - * laying on the floor in a fetal position *'

Goten - what's wrong with him?

Trunks - I dunno, try poking him * pokes LAB and a note falls to the ground *

Trunks - hmm, if you find me a nervous wreck, it is because of all the final projects I have due soon. Please do not poke me and please say the disclaimer.

Goten - after you say the disclaimer thingy can we poke him some more.

Trunks - Sure! Blitzwing doesn't own DBZ or the Vancouver Canucks. He did buy the Maple leafs for exactly four American dollars.

* Both start poking LAB some more *

NOTE - This is the second half of the last chapter.
Invasion of Canada!

In the Stands....

"Goten, any luck getting free?" Trunks asked his pal.
"Nope, I've ben too busy trying to get this coin off the ground with my tongue, I've almost got it!" Goten said eying the shiny loonie on the dirty and sticky ground.
"Ew Goten! do you know what kind of stuff has been on that ground?" Trunks said trying not to gag at the thought.
"Gee, I'm surprised you two haven't escaped yet" Gohan said appearing from nowhere, "Could it be we've found something that can keep you two out of trouble?"
"we could have gotten out but we're playing a game, it's called what's that spill" Trunks lied, now fearing the duct tape, "Aren't we Goten?"
"I though we were trying to get out, I didn't know we were playing a game." Goten replied, thwarting his friends attempt to hide the truth.
"Idiot!" Trunks would have smacked his head had his hands not been stuck to his sides.
"I think the sugar's worn off by now, and don't worry about that stuff, if mom got a hold of it she'd probably use it on me too" Gohan said shuddering at the thought of Chichi having both the Frying Pan and the Duct Tape.
(A/N - I'd be scared!)
"It's time to go out for dinner now, so I'll get you out" Gohan said first picking up Goten and trying to rip the duct tape.
"Hey! I almost had the coin!" Goten exclaimed. Gohan strained but couldn't break open the duct tape.
(A/N - I wonder if the Z sword was held in place by duct tape?)
"What is this stuff made of?" Gohan asked himself as he tried again.
"Are we stuck in here for ever?" Goten asked, tears welling up in his eyes, " I don't wanna be stuck like this forever!!!"
"Hold on!" Gohan said covering Gotens mouth, "I'll try to melt it"
Gohan looked around then, having not seen anyone around, fired a small beam at the duct tape, melting it and allowing Goten to be free.
"Yay! Thank you brother!" Goten exclaimed jumping about, "Now I can get my coin!"
Goten grabbed the shiny loonie while Gohan freed Trunks.
(A/N - Just like the dragonballs, if you find the seven special loonies, a magical beaver will grant your wish!)
"I got a coin! I got a coin!" Goten chanted while prancing around, showing off his new prized possession. He pranced in front of Trunks, who grabbed the coin and bolted towards the hotel lobby.
"Mine now!" He yelled back at Goten.
"Trunks! Give it back!" Goten cried out running after his friend. Gohan just stood there shaking his head.
'I should have left them in that duct tape stuff...' He thought to himself before walking off after the pair of chibis.

In the Lobby...

"Trunks! Give it back! I found it!" Goten yelled as he chased his friend into the lobby.
"Gotta catch me if you want it back" Trunks yelled back right before colliding with a very sturdy object, "Ow! uh oh.."
Trunks looked up into the glaring eyes of his father, Vegeta.
"Brat! What are you and the other Brat doing!" Vegeta said, obviously annoyed by the little chibi who ran into him.
"Trunks! Give me back my coin!" Goten yelled right before skidding to a stop in front of Vegeta, "Hello Mr. Vegeta"
"hmphf" Vegeta replied, spying the coin and grabbing it from Trunks. What Vegeta did next stunned both the kids, he gave the coin to Goten.
"A Saiya jin prince doesn't take things from low classes." Vegeta said walking to the chairs in the lobby to wait for the others.
"Is your dad sick?" Goten asked Trunks.
"I dunno, maybe he's in a good mood cause mom promised him an all you can eat buffet dinner." Trunks replied.

Soon the others made their way down and they piled back into the limo. Bulma ordered the driver to take them to the nearest All-You-Can-Eat Buffet. After about twenty minutes of driving they arrived at a place called Mandarins.
(A/N - I love going to Mandarins, second best chinese buffet in Canada, the best is in a small Quebec town, I can't remember which, but they also served pizza, frog legs, and little hot dogs wrapped in bacon)
"Hello and welcome to Mandarins, how many in your party?" The young chinese waitress greeted the group.
"There's eight of us" Bulma replied, making sure that none of the saiya jins had bolted for the buffet.
"Follow me please" The waitress said taking them into one of the many rooms of tables branching off from the main buffet area. The smells of the massive amounts of food available made everyones mouth water. Several tables were pulled together to accommodate the group and they sat down.
"Now before you go wild, let Videl, Sharpener and Erasa get their food first, then you can go" Bulma said sternly to Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks and Goten, " And stay away from the desserts until afterwards"
The Saiya jins, especially Vegeta, looked annoyed by the fact they had to wait to get their food.
"Rock paper scissors for the shrimp!" Gohan said, starting up a competition between them for the rights to the various food items. After several minutes each of them had claims on several different items. Soon the humans returned and Bulma finally let the Saiya jins loose on the Buffet.

"Sir! Please do not take the tray! Sir! SIR!" One waiter cried out when Gohan grabbed the entire tray of chicken wings.
"Young man! there are other people who wanted shrimp!" a particularly plump woman cried out as Goten took every single shrimp there was.
"But I won them fairly!" Goten replied rushing to his next prize.
"Sir, would you like a slice of Roast Beef?" A cook asked standing behind a counter with a large roast sitting on it.
"No, I want all of it!" Vegeta smirked grabbing the entire ten pound roast and rushing off before the stunned cook could do anything.
"Mommy! were are the sweet and sour chicken balls?" a young child asked his mother.
"I guess they're all gone" She replied not noticing Trunks walking away trying to balance the pile of chicken balls on his plate.
"Hey! Put me down!" A girl cried out being grabbed by Vegeta and put on a plate.
(A/N - beware the hungry Saiya jin who hasn't eaten in hours! Muahahaha!)
The Saiya jin left the decimated buffet and carried their 'treasure' back to the table.
"Help me" The girl on one of Vegeta's plate cried out.
"Woman! this place doesn't cook their food properly! this human is still alive!" Vegeta said gaining many odd looks from the rest of the party.
"I'm not food! My name is Laura, you grabbed me when I reached for some rice!" Laura cried out.
"Vegeta! help her off! she isn't part of the buffet!" Bulma yelled at Vegeta.
"Hmpf" Vegeta grunted, picking Laura off one of his plates and dropping her on the ground.
"Help! That psycho was trying to eat me!" She cried out while running away from the hungry prince.
"Vegeta, Canadians aren't cannibals, they don't eat other people!" Gohan chuckled stuffing sauteed mushrooms in his mouth.
"Shut up spawn of Kakkarot." Vegeta said with his mouth full.
"Vegeta! don't talk with your mouth full!" Bulma yelled, smacking him with her new 100% Canadian Frying Pan she bought at the trashed gift store at the hotel.
"I still can't believe he's not dead from getting hit with those" Videl said finishing the food on her plate, " I hope they restocked the buffet, I'm hungry still"
"It won't kill him, it only hurts like HFIL" Bulma said.
"The buffet is still empty" Sharpener said returning from scouting it out, " They said at least another five minutes since they (pointing to the groups of saiya jins) hit it"
"I don't want to wait.." Videl said eying Gohan's pile of food. She grabbed a bunch of chicken wings off of one of his plates and placed them on her own. Gohan either didn't seem to mind or he didn't notice. Sharpener saw it and made a similar move on some of Vegeta's fish sticks, but pulling back when Vegeta growled at him,
"Touch my food and I'll rip your arm off and eat it as well brat" Vegeta growled, scaring Sharpener.
Bulma and Videl both snickered at how Vegeta could turn even the 'Great' and 'Tough' Sharpener into a quivering mass of fear.
"Vegeta, may I please have some of your roast beef?" Bulma asked sweetly.
Vegeta grunted and cut a section of his huge piece of beef for Bulma.
"Thank you Vegeta" Bulma said, cutting into the beef.
"Why did he share with you and not me?" Sharpener whined.
"Because he's married to me and he knows that if he's a good boy he'll get something out of it" Bulma smirked.
Eventually the buffet was restocked, the humans got their second helpings and the Saiya jins cleaned it out again, much to the frustration of the restaurant manager who could only watch as his profits plummeted at the hands of two men and two children. Soon after they cleaned out the dessert bar and left. As they left the the manager placed a sign on the entrance stating that the buffet was closed until further notice.
"Time for the hockey game, Driver, to the Air Canada Center!" Bulma excitedly told the driver of the limo.
"Big Brother" Goten said tugging Gohans arm, "What's hockey?"
"Well...um..it's" Gohan started to rake his brain, "I have no clue, ask Sharpener"
"I get to see a real hockey game..." Sharpener said in his own little dream world.
"I don't think he can hear me" Goten said poking Sharpener.
"Well then I guess we'll find out when we get to this Air Canada Center place" Gohan said.

Some twenty minutes later....
"Is that it?" Trunks asked his mother.
"Yep, thats it, home of Toronto's' hockey team, the Oak leafs or something." Bulma said.
"Oak leafs, bah, what kind of name is that!" Vegeta scoffed as they exited the limo.
"So where did we get seats?" Sharpener asked.
"We have a private box" Bulma said smiling.
"Wow! a private box on the night of the game, you'd think it would be really hard to get those" Videl said, Thinking back to the times her father would force her to go to sporting events and how people would be begging for nosebleed seats.
"It helps with a man like Vegeta around" Bulma said, "How did you get that man to give them up?"
"I asked him" Vegeta said earning many strange looks from Bulma and the demi saiya jins, "Then when he refused I smashed his car and he decided it would be in his best interest to give them up"
"As long as no one got hurt" Bulma said, sighing.
"and then I blasted him for the fun of it" Vegeta smirked following the group to the main entrance.
"Vegeta!" Bulma screamed making the Saiya jins cringe and cover their ears, " I WARNED YOU NO KILLING!"
"Damn-it woman! I was joking!" Vegeta said, much to the relief of the others who didn't want Bulma screaming all night.
The group walked inside and stood in awe of the building. Goten and Trunks ran up to a display of a pictures from past games.
"Wow! Are these Canadian warriors? Look at that cool armor!" Trunks exclaimed pointing to the various pictures of players.
"and these must be their weapons!" Goten said looking at the hockey sticks in the display.
"I wonder if this game of hockey is actually some type of fighting tournament?" Gohan said scanning over the various items.
"This may be fun after all" Vegeta said from behind them, "They may be weakling humans but it's still fun to watch them try to kill each other."
"You guys have it all wrong" Sharpener said, "They use the sticks to shoot a puck into each others net"
"You mean they aren't going to kill each other?" Vegeta said, looking heartbroken.
"Well, they will fight at some point but.." Sharpener was interrupted by Vegeta.
"Good enough, the food around here more than makes up for it." Vegeta interrupted.
One of the attendants kindly brought them to their private box. Sharpener made himself at home in the from row of seats.
"We're going to look around! bye!" Trunks called out as he and Goten ran out of the box.
"Hey! get back here! Vegeta, go after them!" Bulma cried out after the chibis left.
"Why should I? send the eldest brat of kakkarot" Vegeta said putting his feet up and waiting for the game to start.
"Gohan, could you.." Bulma began.
"I know, I'll find them" Gohan moaned getting up to chase the young demi saiya jins once again.
"Bring back food brat!" Vegeta called as Gohan left. Gohan looked around but was having trouble getting anywhere due to the large crowds of people in the concourse. A faint smell caught Gohans nose, he couldn't tell what it was but he suddenly started humming I feel like chicken tonight.
He made his way past the Union Grill where they were grilling chicken and beef. The smell made Gohan forget about the chibis and made him hungry again.
"ooh, chicken...." He said and jumped in line to get some.

Elsewhere, near the dressing rooms....

"Goten, we've got to get one of those suits" Trunks said peeking around a corner at the visiting teams players lined up getting ready to go onto the ice.
"Why Trunks?" Goten asked peeking his head below Trunks head.
"Cause it'll be fun" Trunks said, " Now help me figure out how to get one unnoticed."

Back in the Private box.....

Gohan slipped in carrying several dozen burgers, chicken breasts and orders of fries.
"The brat did well" Vegeta commented as Gohan put the food on the counter inside the box, still humming the chicken tune.
"Did you find the boys?" Bulma asked.
"Huh? Boys? um..oops, I forgot about them" Gohan said giving the Son grin, " But what harm could they do?"
Then the announcer came on signaling the game was about to start.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the Air Canada Center, Tonight's match is between your Toronto Maple leafs" The announcer said the last part with great excitement, which disappeared as he continued, "And the Vancouver Canucks"
"WHOOO! YEAAA! HOCKEY RULES!!!" Sharpener yelled before he realized the entire arena was staring at him. (A/N - usually everyone is quiet and listens to the starting line ups)
"Ahem, if the blonde girl in the private box would be quiet I'll announce the starting line ups" The announcer said over the speakers in the arena. Sharpener turned beet red at being called a girl and for making a fool out of himself in front of nearly twenty thousand canadians. Gohan, Videl and Vegeta were flat out laughing at the embarrassed teen. Erasa didn't even notice as she was too busy watching the TV in the private box.
"Ohh! there's a guy on TV that looks like Sharpener that they just embarrassed" Erasa said, not being heard over the laughter.
"Now then the starting line up for YOUR TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS!!!" The announcer said earning a small cheer from the crowd, "In goal, Ed Belfour ....."

Back at the Dressing rooms....

"Goten, it looks like they're about to go out, we're almost out of time!" Trunks said hopping up on his friends shoulders with a Vancouver helmet on. Behind them was a player that was hogtied using some stick tape.
"Trunks are you sure about this? I can barely stand up in these things" Goten whined in reference to the size 11 skates on his size 5 feet, "and they hurt!"
(A/N - ever tried skating in loose skates? very easy to break your ankles)
"Be quiet, they're going out now!" Trunks said slipping the Canucks jersey with the name Sedin on the back over his head, "Alright, go forward"
Goten started to walk forward but fell over.
"I can't see Trunks!" He whined.
"Then poke out eye holes, hurry up!" Trunks ordered. Goten made a pair of holes and started walking again. Shakily they made it to the door and stepped onto the ice. Immediately Goten lost his footing and fell over.
"Goten! stop fooling around" Trunks said, bopping Goten in the head.
"I'm trying Trunks, these funny shoes aren't good on ice!" Goten said.
"Try doing like those other guys are doing" Trunks said pointing to the other players on the ice.
"I'll try" Goten said slowly struggling to learn to skate.
On the leafs side two players stopped and looked at the struggling Vancouver player.
"Is he a new guy or something?" Mats Sundin asked his fellow player, Tie Domi.
"They'll let anyone into the NHL these days" Domi replied before resuming his warmup.

The players returned to their benches and the game started. Up in the private box Gohan and Vegeta had finished the burgers and were fighting over who was going to go out and get more. Sharpener was following the game so intensely you could probably break a chair over him and he wouldn't notice.
Videl was following the game with some interest as well, but nowhere near as closely as Sharpener.
Erasa was still watching the TV and had no idea that it was just showing the game going on right behind her. Trunks and Goten hadn't been sent onto the ice yet and they were getting anxious.
Gohan and Vegeta's argument was cut short when the crowds cheering grew extremely loud. They both looked out on the ice and saw Domi and Todd Bertuzzi going at it like rabid wolves.
"Now this is a sport!" Vegeta said, clearly excited at watching the puny humans trying to kill one another.
Soon The fight was over, with both players growing tired and falling over at the same time.
(A/N - Don't make me choose who wins! I choose Domi, I'm hated in Vancouver, I choose Bertuzzi, I'm hated in Toronto!)
The two were dragged off the ice and the game resumed. Trunks and Goten finally were sent out. They almost fell while making their way to the face off position. As soon as the puck dropped it was shot to them.
"Goten, lets do it!" Trunks said raising his stick to shoot the puck. Unfortunately it wasn't to be, just as Trunks started to swing to shoot, Mogilny checked him and Goten, knocking them over and Trunks off of Goten's shoulder. Goten stayed where he hit, but Trunks slid across the ice.
The crowd went dead silent except for one laughing person.
"This game keeps getting better! First they try to kill one another then they cut each other in half!" Vegeta roared with laughter.
The ref and trainer came up to Trunks and knelt beside him.
"Sedin, does it hurt?" the trainer asked.
"does what hurt?" Trunks asked standing up not realizing he wasn't on Goten anymore.
"Holy crud!" the ref exclaimed when trunks stood up.
"What?" Trunks asked, still oblivious, "I only got bumped"
Then Goten got up and shakily skated to Trunks.
"Hey! there's a child in there!" The ref said seeing Goten's head pop out of the pants.
"And this isn't Sedin!" The trainer cried out pulling the helmet off Trunks.
"I think we're caught Trunks" Goten said.
"What tipped you off?" Trunks replied, "Run!"
"STOP THEM!" The ref called to the players.
"Should we?" Trevor Linden asked.
"Naw, let em go, it'll annoy the ref a lot" Markus Nasland said watching the chibis jump over the boards and out of the rink area.
"Err.. Nothing to worry about folks, that was just a little joke on the part of the Canucks" The announcer tried to explain what happened, "Now back to the game!"

Up in the Private Box....

Gohan walked in carrying a load of pizza, popcorn, candy and soda. He got tired of fighting with Vegeta and went for some more snacks.
"What did I miss?" Gohan asked.
"you wouldn't believe it..." Videl said as the chibis came running into the box, panting.
"Trunks, nice shirt, where'd you get it?" Gohan asked.

The rest of the game went smoothly, well as smooth as you can get with Vegeta and the chibis around.
Half the time Vegeta and Gohan were fighting over who would go get more food, only pausing when Bulma would yell at one of them to go or when a fight broke out. Erasa never stopped watching the game on TV, never knowing it was going on behind her. Sharpener was extremely happy as he caught a T-shirt that Carlton, the leafs mascot, was throwing into the crowds. The Chibis disappeared again and returned with several more jerseys, all Toronto Maple leafs. At the start of the third period the Leafs came out in their dark Jerseys as several of their white ones had gone missing mysteriously. When the game finished they walked back to the Skydome since it was so close by and turned in for the night.
