Chapter 8 – The Ultimate Payback.

The blonde-haired demi-Saiyan was on the verge of screaming. Her knuckles were white from how hard she was gripping the bottom of her seat, and her heart was racing, yet for some reason she simply could not take her eyes away from that evil dinosaur. It was like a bad dream that she simply couldn't wake from. She didn't know how much more of this torture she could take!

"They're singing. And dancing," Emily mumbled, and the twins smiled at each other over the top of her head. Seated on either side of her, Gohan and Rejhan were making sure that Emily sat through the entire show, no matter what. They could tell how scared she was, yet Rejhan especially didn't care. She deserved everything that she got.

'Almost time,' the eldest female demi-Saiyan thought to herself with a smile. 'This is gonna be great.'

A few minutes later, and the singing and dancing had stopped, much to Emily's relief. Soon, it was just Barney and a microphone left on the stage, bathed in the spotlight.

"Ok, boys and girls. Today is a very special day, and do you know why?" the evil dinosaur asked in his singsong voice. "Because today is the birthday of a very special little girl. Emily Son!" the dinosaur said, and suddenly a spotlight was blinding said little girl.

"What the hell?" Emily whispered, blinking in the harsh light.

"Come on down here, Emily!" Barney the purple dinosaur called cheerily, and Emily's eyes widened with shock.

"No freaking way!" she said, leaning forwards so she could yell back at the dinosaur. She was just about to lean back in her seat when she suddenly felt Gohan and Rejhan both grab an arm, dragging her to her feet.

"Come on, Em. The nice dinosaur wants you to joint him on the stage," Rejhan said in a sickly sweet voice as she pushed, and Gohan pulled her into the aisle.

Casting a fearful look at her sister, Emily's face had drained of all colour at the look that Rejhan wore. "You … you can't be serious?" she mumbled.

"Deadly," Rejhan replied, a dark look in her eyes.

Digging her heels in, Emily refused to move. On some silent signal, both twins lifted the younger girl up by her arms until her feet were no longer on the ground, and began to walk towards the stage.

"Sorry about that," Gohan said to Barney once the two of them had dragged Emily onto the stage. "But she gets terrible stage fright. We thought this might help her get over it."

"No problem," Barney said to Gohan, before turning to face Emily, who was still being held off of the ground by her siblings. "And how are you today, Emily?"

"How do you think?" she spat at him, but the purple dinosaur merely chuckled at her.

"If you two honestly think that I'm going to stay on this stage, then you've got another thing coming," Emily growled so only the twins could hear her.

"And if you don't stay on this stage, then not only will I confiscate your phone cable, but you will also be on food rations til mum comes home, and you will also be sporting a brand new pink hair style and wardrobe," Rejhan whispered sweetly into the blonde girl's ear, and Emily gulped.

Gohan gave her a shove in the back, and Emily was suddenly in the centre of the stage with the dreaded dinosaur.

"Come on, Emily, sing with me," Barney said in his cheery voice, and Emily could feel her knees shaking. She couldn't move, and when Barney noticed that she wasn't singing alone, nor doing the hand actions with him, he came and stood behind her. Leaning over her, he grabbed both of her hands, and began moving them around to the music. If she hadn't have been so scared, Emily would have double elbowed the stupid dinosaur in the gut, but as it was, she couldn't do anything but stand there and allow herself to be manipulated.

"Look at her face!" Rejhan laughed, and Gohan couldn't help but laugh with her. Emily's face was sickly white; her eyes were way to wide, and her whole body was trembling with fear. "It looks like she's on the verge of tears!"

"As much as she deserves this, I kinda do feel sorry for her," Gohan said, and Rejhan just waved the remark away.

"Oh come on, Gohan. You can't say that you're not enjoying this?"

"Well …" Gohan answered with a smile. "It is kinda funny."

"Kinda funny?"

Gohan gave his twin a sheepish look. "Ok, it's really funny," he said, and Rejhan nodded before turning back to the show.

Barney was now standing in front of Emily, but still had a hold of both of her hands, and was dancing around the stage with her. The poor girl was stumbling every second step due to fear, yet the dinosaur acted as if he didn't notice, and even lifted her up at one point, and spun her around before putting her back down again.

"Now boys and girls, how about we sing a song for the birthday girl?" Barney asked the audience, and the hundreds of kids all cheered.

"Happy birthday to you," the dinosaur sang.

"Happy birthday to you," the kids in the audience joined in.

"Happy birthday dear Emily," the twins joined in, yelling out the words.

"Happy birthday to you!" everyone finished at once, and it was all suddenly too much for Emily to handle. Her bottom lip began to tremble, her hands were balled into tight fists, and her knees were shaking. A second later, and the young teen had collapsed onto her knees on the stage, crying her eyes out.

"Oh look, we actually made her cry," Rejhan said with a laugh, yet Gohan wasn't laughing now.

"Rej, come on, that's enough. The poor kid's terrified," he said before walking onto the stage.

The evil dinosaur was bent over the girl, trying to comfort her, yet every time that he got near to her, Emily's crying intensified. He was definitely glad to see Gohan walking towards him.

"I don't know what happen, but she won't stop crying," the entertainer whispered into Gohan's ear, clearing frazzled by the crying teen.

"That's ok, I'll handle it," Gohan replied, and then crouched down in front of Emily. "Em? It's Gohan."

Without a word, Emily threw her arms around Gohan's neck, and held on as tightly as she could, crying onto his shoulder.

"Gohan, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, but please don't let him come near me again. Please!" Emily sobbed, and Gohan nodded as he lifted her up into his arms and walked off of the stage.

"We're going home, Rej," he said with a clear note of authority in his voice as he passed his twin, and Rejhan just nodded her head, following after her brother. Once outside, they took to the sky and headed home, Gohan still carrying the sobbing Emily.

………………………………

When Chichi arrived home the next day, she was shocked to see her house was still in one piece.

"I felt for sure that this place would have been a disaster zone," she mumbled as she unpacked her bags. "And I wonder what's gotten into the kids? Emily especially has been quieter than usual, which just isn't like her. And I can't get any answers out of the twins about her behaviour either. The only kid who is still acting normally is Goten … I wonder what Emily and the twins could have gotten up to?"

Downstairs, Trunks and Goten were fighting it out on Goten's console game, and Emily was hanging out with Gohan. Indeed, the blonde teen had hardly left her older brother alone since the events of the previous day, where he had 'rescued' her from the evil that was Barney the dinosaur. Gohan didn't mind too much, but he did hope that Emily would snap out of it eventually.

Upstairs, Rejhan was sprawled out on her bed, turning a tape over and over in her hands. She knew what was on it, yet it's contents didn't give her the satisfaction that she thought they would. There was just something about seeing her little sister crying in front of all of those people that made her feel … guilty?

'Nah, she had it coming,' she thought to herself, yet it was a cold comfort. 'So what am I going to do with the tape?'

A wicked smile came over her face as she suddenly came up with a solution. She would leave Emily alone for now. Kami knew that she had been punished enough already, yet Rejhan wasn't just going to let her younger sister forget about what had happened.

"Hehe, just wait until your 21st birthday, Emily," Rejhan said out loud as she carefully hid the videotape in her room, an evil glint sparkling in her eyes.

The End.
