AelitaAngels: I'm back with another chapie!
Vegeta: Oh, happy day
AelitaAngels: Oh shut-up! This chapter barely has you in it! It's dedicated to Gohan torture!
Gohan: What! What did I ever do to you!
AelitaAngels: You're such an easy target that's why! Any way here's that annoying disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, the holidays or any shopping mall I might through in here….
"GOHAN!" yelled Chi-chi happily "Why didn't you tell me we were invited to your future-wife's house for the holidays!"
"She's not my future-wife! She's not even my girlfriend! She's just a friend!" Gohan protested.
"Hey mom can Trunks come too?" Goten asked giving Chi-chi the puppy dog eyes.
"So you two can team up and make my life miserable?" Gohan whispered throwing a melting snowball at Goten's head.
"Gohan No snow in the house," Chi-chi scolded "Of, course dear he can come."
"YAHOO!" Goten cheered jumping up into the air and flying around the house
(A/N: I know this fic is before Videl finds out Gohan's the Great Sayiaman but in this fic Goten can fly)
"But you have to tell his mother!" Chi-chi called.
"Oh man!" Goten moaned.
Gohan was about to laugh at his misfortunate brother but then Chi-chi had to say
"Take Gohan with you."
---
"Hurry up Goten!" Gohan called flying quickly towards the Capsule Corp.
"I'm going as fast as I can!" Goten shouted quickly catching up with Gohan.
Gohan rang the buzzer on the gate.
"Who the hell is it!" yelled a very cranky voice.
"Hi Vegeta, It's me and Goten! We need to ask Bulma something."
"Humph"
As soon as the gate opened Goten zoomed in and smashed through the poor innocent front door.
"Goten what did that door ever do to you?" Gohan asked looking at hinges the door was once on.
"Are you here to smash all of my doors?" asked a cheerful Bulma dressed in her red small sleeve-less mini dress, brown combat boots, and red Santa Claus hat.
"Heh, heh sorry about that…" muttered Gohan as he scratched the back of his head.
"Oh no problem honey, it's the holiday season!" Bulma cheered.
Gohan sweat dropped Bulma was never this cheery.
"Hey want some?" Bulma asked as she shoved a drink in Gohan's face.
It was sorrow (A/N: Sorrow is a holiday alcoholic drink. I don't know what culture it's from… It could be from the south or it could be Jamaican… I really don't know it's a drink that my parents like).
"Umm… no thanks Bulma, My mom would kill me if I come home drunk." Gohan said backing away slightly.
"Ah, suit yourself!" Bulma said before chugging down the sorrow "What do you want?"
"Well Me Gohan and Mom have been invited to a friend's house and Goten wanted Trunks to come too."
"Oh, sure! Let me call him… TRUNKS!" Bulma screamed.
Trunks flew out of his room dressed in a Santa Claus outfit complete with a fake white beard.
"Here!"
"You're going to Videl's for the holidays. With Gohan and Goten."
"Ok, better tell Goten… GOTEN!"
"Reporting for duty!" Goten called dressed in an Elf suit with pointed fake ears.
"Goten what's with the Elf costume?" Gohan asked.
"Well Trunks was dressed like Santa and I found this laying around so… Ta da!" Goten said.
Gohan sweat dropped
"Well let's go… come on Trunks."
Suddenly Gohan's cell phone started to ring.
"I have a cell phone?" Gohan asked as he took it out of his pocket.
"Hello?"
"Oh, Gohan this is Mommy! Don't forget to buy gifts for each of your friends and one for the Satan family! Oh, and buy something nice for your girlfriend!" Chi-chi squeaked.
"She isn't my…" Chi-chi hung up before Gohan could finish.
"Hey, Gohan does that mean we're going to the mall?" Goten asked.
Gohan nodded and hung his head in defeat and listened to the cheering Goten and Trunks made.
---
"Would you two take off the north pole gig?" Gohan whined covering his ears.
Goten and Trunks had started to sing Christmas songs
"Christmas time is in a few days! FALALALALALALALALA! Santa Claus will bring us toys hooray! FALALALALALALALALA!"(A/N: I also don't own that song! Bubbles from PPG made that up not me!) Trunks and Goten wailed off key.
"Hey what about we get this shirt for Videl?" Trunks asked pointing to a shirt that said 'There isn't enough time to do all the bitching I need to do'.
Gohan blushed and turned away.
"No!" he said and dashed off.
"We'll fine I'll get it!" Trunks said grabbing the shirt and running towards Gohan.
Goten weaved through crowds of crazy last minute shoppers. Well even the great sales and the rush of the moment were getting to Goten.
"Attention all shoppers! There's a sale on combat boots and fingerless gloves going on now! All 75 off! Hurry this sale ends in two hours!" said a girly and too cheery to be real voice.
You could hear the faint yells and complaints of "Get out of my way!" and "Move it" from a distance. As if it were magic a crowd of angry shoppers appeared. Goten jumped over them.
"NO! NEVER! VIDEL LIKES COMBAT BOOTS AND FINGERLESS GOLVES! THERE MINE!" Goten yelled jumping over a sign that said 'Big Sale'
"BACK OFF YOU CRAZY ELF!" yelled a girl with dyed black hair and blue eyes and the clothes Videl usually wore (A/N: What? Another crazy Videl wannabe?) "THE FINGERLESS GLOVES AND COMBAT BOOTS ARE MINE!" she screamed as she charged after Goten.
A second later everyone was throwing kicks and punches except the only sane one's left…Gohan and Trunks. They were left in a heap on the ground after being thrown out of the crowd. Goten was spat out of the crowd successfully holding his Combat boots and fingerless gloves.
"And it's a perfect fit just Videl's size!" Goten chirped.
"They're all Videl's size nitwit!" Trunk growled.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Goten asked scratching his head.
Trunks pointed to the tag on the gloves that said 'Videl's fingerless gloves. Want to look like the world famous Mr. Satan's daughter? Buy these gloves there all her size! You'll be the next Videl Satan in no time! Other Videl products: Combat boots, spandex shorts, big white T-shirts' Goten's face dropped as he threw the boots and the gloves back into the fighting crowd.
"Then what am I gonna give Videl?"
Trunks and Gohan shrugged.
"Look at that!" Goten gasped pointing to a mountain of Videl plushies that were in the middle of Toyland.
"YAY! Let's go to toy land!" Trunks cheered.
Goten and Trunks took off flying towards toy land.
"Hey you can't fly here!" Gohan nervously called running after them.
Goten and Trunks were now swimming in a bin filled with Videl, Mr. Satan, and Cell plushies.
"WEEEE!" Goten cheered as he jumped into the air and landed back in.
"Come on, get out! You two are going to get us kicked out of the store!" Gohan almost begged.
"Ok, Gohan. Let me get a Videl doll, a Mr. Satan doll, and a…Cell doll!" Goten said showing Gohan the Cell doll.
Gohan's Ki and anger rose.
"RAAAAAAAHHHH!" Gohan yelled as he threw a ki blast at the doll.
Luckily Goten, Goten's gifts, and Trunks survived. The other dolls had been completely destroyed though.
"Mommy he blew up the dollies!" cried a tiny girl in a pink dress.
"Excuse me sir," said a nerdy, pimply teen in a red vest, a red hat and a name tag that read 'Charlie' "Where gonna have to throw you out."
"What!"
---
"Great job, Gohan" Trunks said sarcastically.
"Oh shut-up!" Gohan snapped
"At least they let me keep the plushies for free!" a very happy Goten chirped.
"Now you two have to get something for Me, Mom, Mr. Satan, Sharpener, Erasa, and something for the Satan family." Gohan said counting on his fingers.
"What? I don't have that kind of money!" Goten complained.
"That's why you have me." Trunks said and rolled his eyes.
Goten bought the 1st pair of shoes he saw for Erasa and they were hideous. They were orange with super high heels and red puffy bows with sliver sparkles. Trunks had bought her a snow globe that cost $0.50. Gohan was still looking for something to get Videl. It had to be special.
"Hey what do girls like?" Gohan wondered aloud.
"Shiny or Sparkly stuff." Trunks answered with out thinking.
'Something shiny… were would I find that.' A stand started to glow like a star.
"Hmm… what's that?" Gohan wondered, shielding his eyes from the light.
"The finest jewelry here at Aly's Jewel shop!" shouted a blonde wearing complete black to clash with the shining jewelry.
"What do you have?" Gohan said taking out his wallet.
The girl's eyes grew wide with interest as soon as she saw his full wallet.
"Well if you're looking for something for that special someone I recommend this!" She sang bringing out the most expensive piece of jewelry she had.
It was a beautiful diamond heart shaped locket necklace with a sliver strap (made from real sliver!). It glowed like the sun.
"I'll take it! How much is it?" Gohan asked.
"Oh," the lady started looking back into the wallet "well usually it costs $500,000 but for you I'll make it… 50,000!"
"Deal!" Gohan said without thinking and handing her the wallet.
The lady beamed.
"Gohan you're the only person I know who can spend all their money on one gift!" Trunks said looking at the necklace.
"Hey, I guess I'll have to switch to my Trunks-it card!" Gohan chuckled.
"Bad pun Gohan, very bad pun." Trunks said.
"Now what should I buy Erasa?" Gohan asked himself.
"How about a dress to match the shoes I bought?" Goten helpfully asked.
"That's a great idea!"
The dress was even more hideous that the shoes. It was a red knee length dress with orange ruffles on the bottom of the dress and on the ends of the tight long sleeves. It also had small Sliver bows all over it and was covered in orange sparkles. They hadn't put much thought into Sharpener's gifts either. Gohan's gift was a base ball bat that was 95 off, Goten's gift was a red rubber ball and Trunks had found an old phone book and put it in pretty sliver wrapping paper.
"Hey what should we get mom Gohan?" Goten asked holding all of the shopping bags.
"I don't know… maybe some special frying-pan cleaner?" Gohan answered pointing to a can that said 'Wam the amazing frying-pan cleaner!' in a window of a store
"Yeah!" Goten cheered.
"I'm surrounded by idiots…" Trunks moaned.
For Mr. Satan Trunks had gotten him the 'Martial Arts for Dummies' book, Goten had gotten him cheap boxing gloves and Gohan had given him a letter that said the reasons why Mr. Satan shouldn't sew, spar or punish Goten or Trunks for the terrible gifts they had given him.
"Hey maybe we should give the Satan's a card." Gohan said handing another bag to Goten before Goten finally collapsed.
"That's a great idea! I can't carry anymore!" Goten whined from beneath the shopping bags.
They dashed off to Hallmark to get there holiday greeting cards. But they would soon realize the terrors of the never ending Hallmark lines!
"How many people are in this line?" Goten complained falling to his behind.
"I don't know." Gohan answered keeping his cool.
20 minutes later the line hadn't moved much. Goten had relied on stupid kiddy songs to keep him busy.
"The wheels on the bus go round and round!" Goten sang going insane.
"Goten how is that related to the holidays?" Trunks asked.
Goten shrugged and started to hum the melody of 'Ukrainian Bell Carol' (A/N: You know… the song that go Dun, Dun Dun Dun, Dun, Dun Dun Dun, my favorite Christmas carol) Soon Trunks started to join, annoying the Heck out of all the people around them. Another hour passed. Trunks and Goten decided to play action hero Christmas style with the cards they were buying.
"Ha, take that Santa Claus!" Trunks said ramming his card into Goten's
"I shall never give in Evil Easter bunny!" Goten said swatting the card out of Trunks's hand and beating it with his card.
"Hey Goten I wanna be Santa now! I am dressed like him!" (A/N: forgot about that didn't you?) Trunks complained.
"Will you guys cut it out?" Gohan scolded.
Another twenty minutes had pasted. Goten and Trunks were sleeping on the floor. Finally Gohan was up next. He took the cards and Trunks's credit card and went up to the cash-register. Suddenly a grumpy old man cut him.
"I don't think so!" Gohan yelled pushing the man out of the way. "I've been waiting for about 2 hours dealing with these two I deserve to go next!" Gohan continued his rant pointing at the sleeping Goten and Trunks.
Gohan slammed his cards on the table almost cracking it. A very sleepy girl with long straight honey brown hair started slowing dialing numbers on the computer.
"How much does uhhh… it….uhhh…what's it called…uhhh…cost…" she asked lazily turning to him.
Gohan's left eye twitched.
"AH! WHY ME! NOOOOO!" Gohan yelled as he fell to his knees.
A young weak and incredibly slow girl had over powered a super sayian2 warrior.
After 10 minutes the girl had finally gotten it together.
"Umm… that would… be… like…$1500…" The girl said lazily.
"No, that's $15.00"
'you idiot.' he added.
"Umm…. Like…. Okay…. But… um… what's the word…. Cash or… like… um…. Credit card?" the girl yawned.
"Credit Card" Gohan quickly answered handing her the credit card.
"Umm…. Yeah….. Okay…. Now… Umm… what's the word…. How… umm… like… does… umm…. this…umm… yeah… umm…. like….go…again… umm… yeah….um…oh yeah…" the girl stumbled trying to slide the card through the machine "Okay… um….like…yeah…here's your card…" said the girl slowly handing it to him. "Okay… um… got to let the computer… like… load….to print… your… umm….what's the word….recite."
After another 15 minutes of waiting to for the computer to load she handed him the recite slower than ever.
"Here… you… like… um… go… I guess…" the slow retarded girl said.
Gohan snatched the recite grabbed Goten and Trunks and sprinted out of the store at super-human speed.
"We also… got…. Umm… this…. Uhhh…. Sir?" the girl asked looking around for Gohan.
"Remind me to never go to Hall mark during the holidays!" Gohan muttered as he ran strait to the food court.
He dumped the Sleeping Goten and Trunks on a Table and practically bought everything at the buffet. When Gohan returned he had a pile of food that was bigger than him. He carefully dumped the pile on to Trunks and Goten.
"FOOD!" They both cheered waking up.
"Okay you two have to buy gifts for me and one another and I have to buy for you. I call Trunks's credit card."Gohan said holding up the credit card that was this close to its max.
"Ok so we'll spit up!" Trunks said through a hamburger.
"Exactly! We can meet up here in one hour!" Gohan said as he ran off.
Trunks and Goten continued to munch on their pile of food which was quickly decreasing.
"Momma I wanna see Santa!" whined a bratty little girl.
"Later!" said her distressed mother.
"Hey, look Santa!" said the little girl pointing to Trunks.
Trunks gulped.
"Wow Santa you sure have shrunk!" she giggled running towards them. "And you've even brought a little elf friend for me to play with!" she squealed pointing to Goten.
"Goten…"
"Yeah, Trunks…"
"RUN!"
Trunks and Goten leaped from the table and ran from the bratty little girl who seemed to be faster than she appeared. Soon they were at a dead end.
"Please Santa! I'll even pay for you to play with me!" said the girl waving a 5 dollar bill in the air.
Trunks and Goten exchanged glances. Something good might come from this after all.
---
'Now what to little Semi-Saiyans like?' Gohan thought as he ran into Toy R' Us. He could always buy Goten a gift that was 25 off but what could he give Trunks? The boy had almost every toy in the world.
"May I help you?" said a black woman with long black hair.
"Oh, Yes I'm looking for a present for my little brother and…"
"Little brothers say no more." She said pulling him towards the electronic part of the store. She handed him a box with a dinosaur robot on it. "These have been a real seller this year." She said.
"Well, it's nice but no thanks… we've got lots of dinosaurs were we live… What about that one?" Gohan asked as he pointed to another robot but this one seemed to be human like.
"Oh that's Robosaipian he's another model only he's more human like." She smiled.
"I'll take it how much does it cost?"
"$50"
"Ok… Oh, I'm looking for a gift for Trunks Briefs, and I don't know what to give him." Gohan said.
After a minute or 2 of thinking the lady said
"I've got it!"
and dragged him to another part of the store. This time the toys looked like for older children.
"This is an ipod! I don't know if Trunks has it or not but he probably doesn't it's a Mini."
"That great how much does it cost?"
"Well really $200 but for you $100"
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
After buying Goten's and Trunks's gift Gohan ran up to the food court to meet Goten and Trunks. He'd found them but was pretty surprised when he saw him. He had a little kid in Trunks lap asking what she wanted for Christmas and Goten was no where to be seen.
"Trunks where's Goten?" Gohan asked a little worried.
"Trunks, Trunks! I've got our gifts! It sure was a great idea to charge kids a dollar to sit on your lap and say what they want for Christmas."Goten called waving three bags in the air, his gift to Gohan, His gift to Trunks and Trunks's gift to Gohan.
"Ok, Now I can go buy you a gift! Good my butt's starting to hurt!" Trunks said jumping out of his chair with a fist full of money.
"Ok kids, Santa has to go bye-bye!" Goten said shooing away the remaining kids.
"You guys are unbelievable." Gohan chuckled.
A moment later Trunks appeared with A bag saying that he had Goten's gift.
"Let's get out of this place!" Gohan said as he ran to the exit with Goten and Trunks not too far behind.
---
Chi-chi sat in the living room surrounded by gifts, bows, tape and wrapping paper, tons and tons of wrapping paper. Gohan, Trunks and Goten opened the door and fell to the floor, their gifts tumbling in after them.
"Come in boys what took you so long? You better get your sleep or we're gonna be late!" Chi-chi sat rushing them to bed.
"But it's only 7:00pm!" Trunks protested
"And? As soon as you wake up you can wrap your gifts then were going to my daughter-in-law's house!"
"She's not my…" Gohan started to Protest.
"BED NOW!" Chi-chi yelled.
AelitaAngels: Well that's the end of that chapter. I kind of feel proud of myself… this is my longest chapter ever!
Vegeta: Joy
AelitaAngels: (hits him with a frying pan) didn't I say hush! Well 'til next time
