Chapter 3

Fun at the Mall

Emily stood staring at the twins, slowly backing into the freezer, and tightening her grasp on the bag of chips.

"Uh… hi? Um, want some?" she stammered, holding the bag out at them. Rejhan and Gohan just narrowed their eyes at her. After a minute of silence, Emily looked around the room before placing the drink and bacon on the worktop, then went to put two fingers to her forehead but Gohan was quicker, and snatched her hand out of mid air.

"Don't even think about it!" he yelled, pulling her towards him and Rejhan, who grabbed her other arm, snatching the bag of chips out of her hand and throwing them onto the table. Both twins proceeded to pull her into the living room, where they threw her down onto the couch.

"You were faking the whole time weren't you?" Rejhan screamed. Emily said nothing but looked down. Taking that as a yes, Rejhan looked at her twin.

"Go to your room. If you leave the house I swear we won't hold back on you Emily. I need to speak to Rejhan," Gohan said dangerously, pulling her up again and pushing her towards the stairs.

"Hey, I'm not something you can just throw around you know!" Emily snapped glaring at him.

"If I were you I wouldn't talk back. You're in enough trouble as it is," Rejhan stated, and Emily just growled as she stormed up the stairs.

"Ok, now what? It's only day one, we have six more days of this," Gohan groaned, looking at his twin.

"Well if we don't punish her, she'll assume she can get away with it," Rejhan sighed.

"But if we do punish her it'll most likely make her worse. It really doesn't help that she knows instant transmission," Gohan argued. Rejhan just answered with a low growl, getting angry all over again.

"I can't believe I fell for it!" she snarled.

"Hey calm down, let's just focus on the situation here. I know it'll probably turn out to her advantage, as she's always been good at that. But it's the only way we can get through to her," Gohan sighed, Rejhan stared at him.

"What are you talking about?" she asked, and this time Gohan smirked.

"What is the one place that Emily absolutely hates going to?" he asked, and Rejhan frowned, trying to work out what he was thinking of. Suddenly she realised what he was talking about and smirked.

"Alright we'll do it. Get ready, I'll go sort her out," she announced, running up the stairs. As soon as she touched the top step she could hear a thudding drum beat coming from her sister's room. Sighing, she made her way over and without knocking, opened the door. A sudden guitar riff attacked her ears as she winced and looked over to see Emily lying on her stomach on her bed, flicking through what Rejhan recognised as one of her magazines. The teenager was in a tight pair of shorts and a skimpy t-shirt, not aware that Rejhan was in the room. Walking over to the stereo, Rejhan quickly cut it off causing Emily to jump up.

"Hey! It was just getting good!" she yelled.

"Get dressed, we're going out," Rejhan said bluntly, going over to Emily's wardrobe, opening it up and then throwing out a pair of her pants and a t shirt.

"Where are we going?" Emily asked, raising an eyebrow as she caught her clothes easily. Rejhan just walked over to her sister.

"Out, and don't touch my stuff again. I haven't even read this yet!" she snapped, snatching up her magazine then walked towards the door. Emily stood up on her bed and folded her arms as she stared at Rejhan.

"Where's out, Rejhan?" she demanded, yet Rejhan didn't look back. She couldn't without giving away that they were up to something, and she was smirking now as she pulled open the door.

"You'll see," she replied as she left the room, and Emily stared at the closed door, puzzled.

"Why is it I have a bad feeling about this? Might aswell go along with whatever it is that they're up to, maybe it'll work out for me… Heh, that'll show them!" Emily laughed as she jumped off of the bed and quickly changed. Meanwhile downstairs, Gohan and Rejhan were waiting for their prey on the couch.

"I know you're still mad at her, I mean Kami I am too, but we need to stay relaxed and calm around her. If she senses something's up she'll refuse to go, or if she's nice she'll try to back out somehow," Rejhan said.

"Oh I'll be relaxed alright, just wait until she finds out where she's going," Gohan laughed.

"So where are we going?" a small voice asked, the twins spun around to see the blonde teenager sauntering down the stairs, both of them laughing inwardly at what they were planning on doing to her.

"Out," they both said in unison, and Emily rolled her eyes as she shot them an annoyed look.

"You've said that already. Where abouts are we going? What place? I know it's not something fun since I know you're both still mad at me," she stated.

"Whatever made you think that?" Gohan asked sarcastically, trying his best to control his rage, which was something that he was finding hard to do around her, whilst Rejhan shot him a warning look. Emily looked between them suspiciously.

"I'm not stupid you know," she huffed, making her way into the kitchen and picking up the bag of chips which had been thrown on the table earlier. She was just about to open them when they were suddenly snatched out of her hands again, this time by Gohan.

"I'm driving and you're not eating them in the car," he stated, grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the kitchen. Emily just rolled her eyes a second time as she allowed herself to be guided out of the front door, followed by Rejhan. Wherever they were going she'd just plan on sneaking away and finding food. Gohan quickly uncapsuled the car and opened the back door. Groaning slightly, Emily climbed into the back seat and when all the doors where slammed shut, Gohan sped off away from the house. They had been driving in silence for fifteen minutes, Emily just staring out of the window, trying to figure out where they were taking her. It wasn't for another five minutes later until they pulled into another road and Rejhan was the first to break the silence.

"Almost there. I really wish it wasn't so far to this place," she said, stretching silently. Emily sighed as she kept her gaze fixed on the window, they were just trying to rub it in even more, she'd make them pay. Suddenly a giant structure of the mall appeared into view and Emily widened her eyes as she realised that that was where they were heading. She also noticed that Gohan was occasionally glancing at her from his mirror.

"Were not… um going there are we?" she stammered, pointing at the mall. Gohan glanced in the direction before returning his attention to the road.

"Yup," he said.

"What for? I thought mom got all the groceries before she went!" Emily asked, then realised that they weren't there for that type of shopping. She knew that since she often accompanied ChiChi to their local supermarket, which was the only type of shopping that she could stand.

"I know, but we're shopping for something else," Rejhan replied sweetly, noticing how uncomfortable her sister was getting. Emily gasped now. She'd worked out what they were up to. She sat back in the car seat and thought desperately for a way she could get out of this without her getting into any more trouble. Within a few moments, Gohan had pulled up outside the mall and got out. Opening up Emily's door, he signalled for her to get out as well.

"Uh, I think I'll stay here and protect the car," she said, moving away from the side he was at.

"I'm capsuling it up so there's no need for you to stay in it, now get out," Gohan stated, a slight growl in his voice.

"It just saves you carrying another item around," Emily tried to protest, now at the other side of the car. Unknown to her though, Rejhan had it open and pulled the teen out.

"We're not leaving you in the car, so stop arguing with us," Rejhan sighed, keeping a firm grip on her sister's wrist whilst slamming the door. Gohan quickly capsuled the car up and the pair made their way into the mall, pulling Emily with them. Sharing an evil look between them, Gohan and Rejhan quickly found a clothes store.

"Ah, here we are!" Gohan announced, making their way towards the entrance. Emily suddenly stopped in her tracks as she spotted the evil store.

"There is no way you're making me go in there!" she cried, but Rejhan just pulled harder on her sisters wrist whilst Gohan grabbed her arm.

"Wanna bet?" they both replied in unison, and proceeded to drag her in, ignoring all of the customer's stares. Rejhan let go of Emily and marched over to a rail and picked out several dresses and skirts. Much to her sister's annoyance, they were all pink, the one colour she absolutely hated, and they knew that.

"I swear Gohan if this doesn't stop you are both going to pay!" Emily snarled, trying to pull out of his grip, but Gohan just smirked at her.

"Oh, and what are you gonna do? Remember both me and Rej are stronger than you, plus it's two against one. Just admit it Em; you're outnumbered," he said, and Rejhan took Emily off Gohan and pulled her towards the dressing room.

"Go try them on," she said sweetly. Emily glared at her as she snatched the clothes and stormed over to the nearest cubicle. Throwing the clothes onto the nearest peg, Emily quickly dropped to the floor and looked under the locked door to see Rejhan and Gohan chatting to each other quietly, then Emily jumped back up.

"So they think they can get the best of me? Well two can play that game! Or is it three? Whatever…" she announced. Sitting on the little bench, Emily pulled off the security tags on the clothes Rejhan had given her, then ducking down, she crawled under the gap at the side of the cubicle.

There was another rail of clothes next to it, so she was safely hidden from view. She proceeded to pull off more security tags then just for the fun of it, she grabbed a bikini and a pair of boxers then crept over towards the twins.

Carefully, she slipped several tags into Rejhan's pocket and then several into Gohan's pocket. She gasped inwardly as she ducked behind another rail just in time to see Gohan spin around and frown in the direction she'd just previously been standing.

"What's up?" Rejhan asked, turning around and facing her brother.

"I dunno, I just felt something, like someone was behind me," Gohan replied, puzzled.

"Weird, she sure is taking her time in there isn't she? I knew I should have gone in with her," Rejhan groaned, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, relax, we're only just getting started," Gohan laughed, turning back around again, Rejhan doing the same.

"Oh you are so evil," she sniggered. Emily stepped out from behind the rail and carefully slipped the bikini into Gohan's other pocket, then did the same for Rejhan and the boxers, laughing inwardly as she snuck back over to the dressing room and crawled back under the gap. Moments later, she opened the door and stepped out.

"They're too big," she stated, tossing the clothes back at Rejhan.

"I bet you didn't even try them on," Gohan accused, and Emily flashed him an innocent smile.

"Ok then, what was I doing in there the whole time? This is boring, I'm gonna meet you two outside," she said, running out of the shop.

"Hey! Get back here!" Rejhan cried, dropping the clothes in a chair and giving chase to her sister, Gohan following close behind her. They got to the store's entrance when suddenly all the alarms went off.

"What the!" Gohan yelled as two large security officers approached them.

"Empty your pockets and bags please," one of them said stiffly. Emily, who had heard the alarms, stopped in her tracks and turned around to watch the scene with amusement. Gohan was stunned when he suddenly pulled a bikini out of his pocket.

"Gohan!" Rejhan cried, clearly shocked.

"I swear I never saw it before! I was with you the whole time! Wait a minute, what's that?" he asked, pointing at Rejhan's small bulging pocket. She pulled out the material blushing furiously as she held the boxers up.

"What are they doing in there? I swear never touched these," she stammered.

"Sure, that's what they all say," the security guard said, approaching them and pulling out handcuffs. Gohan and Rejhan gulped but then it dawned on them who would have been sly enough to pull a stunt like this. This certain person was now nowhere to be seen.

"Emily!" they both yelled in unison, running past the security guard and storming out of the shop, knocking the guy out in the process. Meanwhile across the mall, the teenage demi saiyan was happily tucking into three hotdogs, four bagels, a large bottle of cola and two bags of crisps, ignoring all of the other customers.

"Bet they never saw that coming!" she laughed, taking a bite out of one of her bagel. Suddenly, a huge shadow loomed over her and Emily froze for the second time that day.

"You're right, we didn't," said a cold male voice. She spun around to see Gohan and Rejhan, both standing there staring at her with looks of hatred in their eyes…
