Chapter 6 – Plans Begin.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch," Gohan whined as he gingerly placed a thick piece of steak over his swollen eye. Rejhan wrinkled her nose at him, while her mind was contemplating a hundred better ways that you could go about fixing a black eye.
"That is so gross," she said, and Gohan just stared blankly back at her; meat juice slowly trickling down his face.
"You're not the one with it on your eye," he retorted, and Rejhan decided that it was time to change the subject. Emily was still sitting out in the lounge room, watching her movie, and so far the twins had decided to leave her be. Attacking her wouldn't solve the problem anyway.
"You said before that you had an idea," Rejhan started, and Gohan looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Back before the sports shop incident. I said something about nothing getting to her, and you said you had an idea. What was it?"
Comprehension suddenly dawned on Gohan's face. "Oh, that. Yeah, I did have an idea as to how we could get back at her once and for all," he started.
"I'm listening," Rejhan encouraged, and Gohan smirked.
"What is the one thing that absolutely terrifies Emily?" he asked, and Rejhan frowned as she pondered the answer. A shrug of her shoulders signified that she didn't know, and Gohan smiled as he delivered the answer. "Barney the dinosaur."
"What, that purple guy on television?" Rejhan asked, and Gohan nodded with a triumphant smile on his face.
"Exactly. He totally freaks out Emily. Not too sure why, but she panics at the mere sight of him," Gohan explained, and now Rejhan's smile mirrored her twin's.
"Oh, this could be good," she said with a slight laugh, and Gohan nodded in agreement.
"Yup, and here's what we're going to do," he said before leaning forwards and whispering in his sister's ear.
…………………………
Emily was happily munching away on a packet of chips in the lounge room, when suddenly the phone rang. Glancing behind her, she scowled when no sound of the twins could be heard. For a moment, she considered just letting the phone ring, and settled back in her seat. Yet after the fifteenth ring, she could stand it any longer. Jumping off of the couch with a sigh, she walked into the kitchen and picked up the receiver.
"Hello?" she asked in a disgruntled tone of voice.
"Oh, hello," a female voice said on the other end, and Emily stuck her tongue out at the woman's upper class accent. "Would a mister Gohan Son be there please?" the woman asked, and Emily had to stifle a laugh.
"Uh, yeah, I'll just get him," she answered. "Hold on a moment please," she added in her best imitation of the woman's accent.
Placing the phone down on the bench, Emily walked to the head of the hallway before yelling "Gohan! Phone!", and then walked back and settling herself down on the couch again.
"Who is it?" Gohan asked as he entered the kitchen.
"How should I know? I'm not your secretary, you know?" she replied in a huff, picking up her half eaten bag of chips, engrossed in her movie once more.
"Hello?" Gohan said into the receiver, while keeping an eye on his little sister.
"Is she watching?" Rejhan said on the other end of the line.
"Not yet, but I can guarantee she's listening," Gohan answered in a whisper. Then in a louder voice, "yes, this is Gohan Son."
With a laugh, Rejhan said her next line, while seating herself down on her windowsill in her bedroom. "Hello, mister Son, I am ringing to inform you that you have just won a double pass to the West City science fair, which will be held tomorrow afternoon in central park."
"Really?" Gohan asked with mock disbelieve, and over on the couch, Emily's ears pricked up. "Wow, I only entered that draw for the fun of it. And you say the fair is tomorrow?"
"Yes, the doors open at 12:30, and close at 4," Rejhan replied, although Gohan already knew the answer.
"Cool, my sister will be so happy. I told her that if I won, I'd take her with me," Gohan answered with a laugh, and Rejhan snorted on the other end on the line.
"Yeah right," she couldn't help but retort, and Gohan had to smother a laugh, else he give the game away.
"So I can come and pick the tickets up any time this afternoon?" he asked in a serious voice, and on the other end, Rejhan confirmed this inquiry.
"I hope you have a wonderful time at the fair mister Son," she said with all attempts being made to be serious.
"Oh, I will. And thanks," Gohan answered before the pair said their goodbyes and hung up.
"Who was that?" Emily asked from over on the couch, and Gohan smiled at her.
"Oh, just this lady telling me that I've won a double pass into the West City fair tomorrow," Gohan answered, and Emily frowned.
"I didn't know that West City was having a fair," she said, and Gohan grinned.
"It's uh, like a science kind of thing, so I don't think you'd be all that interested," Gohan answered, and Emily scowled.
"Who says?"
"Well, you've never shown any interest in science before, so why should you be interested in going to a fair all about it?" Gohan shot back, heading towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Emily demanded, hanging over the back of the couch.
"To pick up the tickets. Rej and I are gonna have a blast," he said with a wave as he left the house.
'They can't just go out and not take me with them,' Emily thought to herself. 'If they think that they can go out and have fun without me, then they've got another thing coming.'
Upstairs, Rejhan grinned as she sensed her twin fly off towards West City. Throwing her mobile phone down on her bed, the young woman gave a satisfied sigh. At that very moment, Gohan was on his way to by two tickets to see Barney the dinosaur performing in central park. Downstairs, she knew that Emily would be annoyed that they were going out and leaving her behind, and that she would most likely try to tag along.
'All we have to do is make sure that she doesn't see any of the advertising, and she'll walk straight into the trap,' she mused. 'Oh, the look on her face is going to be to die for,' she thought with a wicked smile, and downstairs, the blonde demi-Saiyan had no idea as to what the twins were really planning …
………………………
Later that afternoon, Gohan returned with the two tickets, and Emily was eyeing him off.
"You can't leave me here on my own while you two go out, you know?" she said, and Gohan just shrugged his shoulders.
"You've always said that you don't need a babysitter, so here's your chance to prove it," he replied just as Rejhan came bounding down the stairs.
"Where did you fly off to?" she asked, and Gohan grinned.
"Guess who just won a double pass into the science fair in West City tomorrow?" he asked with all of the necessary enthusiasm.
"You didn't?" Rejhan replied with mock surprise. "You mean to say that you actually got pulled out of that barrel?"
"Yup," Gohan replied with a goofy grin on his face. "And guess who's coming with me?"
"Oh no," Rejhan said, holding her hands up and taking a step backwards. "You know all of that science stuff doesn't interest me. I only went to that exhibit with you cos you offered to buy me lunch afterwards," Rejhan shot back in all honestly, for this fact was at least true. Gohan had actually dragged his twin out to the science museum several weeks ago, and had actually entered into a competition to try and win a brand new telescope. Now, this past event proved to be the perfect 'padding' for his plan to work.
"If Rejhan doesn't want to go, I can go with you," Emily offered, sidling up to her brother.
"Sorry squirt, but you'd only end up getting bored. There's not much for someone your age there," he said, and Emily scowled at him.
"But Rejhan doesn't want to go, and you have two passes!"
"Hmm, that is true," Gohan mused. "Maybe I'll take one of the guys from school …"
"Ugh, ok, I'll go. If it saves you from having to hang out with someone from school, then I'll go," Rejhan eventually said, and Emily muttered a few choice phrases under her breath.
"Mum wouldn't want you to leave me alone," she tried in desperation, but the twins didn't seem to care.
"After what you've put us through in the past few days, we deserve some time away from you," Gohan said seriously, and if she hadn't have been so annoyed at them both, Emily would have found the fact that two people with pink hair were trying to be serious highly amusing. Not to mention the fact that Gohan was sporting a rather large black eye. But as it was, she was too annoyed to be amused. How dare they try and leave her behind!
'There's no way that they're going to get away with this,' Emily mused, vowing then and there that wherever the twins went tomorrow, that she would follow them and make them pay for trying to ditch her.
Sharing a look over the top of the blonde's head, the twins smirked. Their plan had been executed without a hitch. Indeed, the two demi's had played their sister perfectly, and they both knew without a doubt that she would turn up in the park tomorrow. Tomorrow, the ultimate revenge would be theirs.
