A/N: Sorry to keep all of you guys waiting for this chapter, but I got caught up in "Knights In Shinning Armor". But I'm back now! So, like I say in all the big update chapters, check out "Hangman's Curse", "Knights In Shinning Armor", or "Digi Saga: Part One". Their great stories and I'd just like you guys to check them out. For all you Chibi Trunks and Goten fans, KISA has them both in there and "Hangman's Curse" has them as teens. R&R!

Donut: Can you read what this says?
Honey-Suckle: I'm only a kitten! You're my big bro. You're s'possed to know how to read.
Donut: Mom never taught me how, though. She's too evil to do that.
Honey-Suckle: Oh... Angel's Star! Come and read your disclaimer!
Angel's Star: Fine (clears her throat) I don't own DB/Z/GT and never ever ever will. I do own Stephanie, Raven, and Kahomi, though. And please remind me why I asked you two to say the disclaimer.
(They walk away while Honey-Suckle and Donut remind her why she asked them to-)
Random person: SHUT UP! The fic is starting!

Chapter 6.
The Secret
"I don't get it, Trunks," Goten said as the two boys walked down the hall and to the living room. "How come this stupid little toy affects adults, but not kids?"
"Beats me," Trunks said.
The two walked in silence for a while. Goten was upset about the little army man and Trunks was making a plan.
"I've got it!" The older of the two shouted.
"Got what?" Goten asked.
"We'll put the toy in the living room and then wait for my sister or Raven to come pick it up!" Trunks smiled evilly.
"Ok, I guess."
-------
Raven walked to the living room. It had been a hard morning of training and he needed a break. Not like he was lazy or anything, he and Stephanie had been training almost all morning long. Believe it or not, for a girl, she was pretty strong. Actually she had whooped him in all their matches.
And, so, here is Raven. Sitting on the couch with not a single victory to his name. He used to be stronger than Stephanie when he was evil, but now she had passed him. How had that been? Did he just soften up a bit? Ah, well. Nothing to get worked up over.
"Hey, Raven?"
The Saiyan turned to see his cousin, Goten, walking into the living room.
"Yeah?" He said as he turned back to the TV and turned it on.
"Have you seen my little army man toy?" The boy asked.
Raven looked around and spotted it on the couch beside him. That hadn't been there when he sat down, had it? It didn't matter. Raven picked it up.
"Here you-" he interrupted himself. "MY TOY!!"
"Uhhh..." The half-Saiyan looked around for Trunks. He was supposed to have followed him here! Now he was missing this and they had some sort of proof. For what, Goten wasn't sure. But it had to be good! "Trunks! Where are ya?"
"Right here," the older boy said as he dropped down from the ceiling. "I guess this proves it."
"Proves what?" The younger boy asked.
"It proves that the toy is evil and wants to take over the world by making the adults and teenagers act like kids!"
Talk about over active imagination.
"And when the kids start to grow up," he continued, "the toys will some how make them act like kids again! There will be complete chaos! It's the perfect plan too! We should'a thought of that when we wanted to take over the world!"
Goten stared blankly at his friend. It was just a toy, so how on earth could it want to take over the world? Maybe Trunks was on sugar high again. He was like that when the two boys tried to take over the world. Only then, Goten had been on sugar high too.
"Trunks, are you feeling ok?" Goten asked.
"Yeah, why?" The other boy asked quickly.
"I think you're on sugar high again."
"What gives you that idea?"
"Well, it just looks like-"
"On my way over here, Kahomi dared me to eat three bags of sugar in less than five seconds. If I won, I'd get her tent. But ya know what? I lost! I only ate two and a half bags in five seconds! Funny, huh?"
"Sure."
Now that Trunks was on sugar high, who would help Goten in his "quest"? Maybe Trunks would come back to normal before long.
"So, my plan is working," came a deep voice from where Raven was. Goten knew it was not him.
The half-Saiyan turned to see Raven standing there and looking at him. Except, something was wrong. His eyes were red, he was hovering above the ground a few inches, and he was sort of slumped over. In his hand was the toy army man.
"What?" Goten said in disbelief. "Raven?"
"Thanks for buying that cereal and setting me free," Raven's mouth moved, but that wasn't his voice. "I knew you couldn't resist buying a cereal with a surprise inside."
A thought hit the half-Saiyan. The little army man must want to take over the world just like Trunks had said. He was controlling Raven! But, how could Trunks have known? Maybe it was just the sugar highness.
"Now that you two know my secret, I can't let you live," Raven grabbed them both and dragged them out of the room.
-------
The blood rushed to Goten's head. He and Trunks had been tied to the kitchen's ceiling and were hanging over two boiling pots of water. The pots were just big enough for their heads to fit in, but nothing else.
"Sorry to leave so soon, but I'm going to occupy myself with something usless just like all other bad guys do," the toy made Raven let go and then it walked away.
Raven looked around like a scared little kid. His eyes began to fill with tears and he ran off while shouting, "I WANT MY MOMMY!!"
"The toy makes people act just like babies," Goten said. "That's kind'a cool."
"I'm gettin' dizzy," Trunks said. "When are we supposed to drop down into the pots of water that'll probably burn our heads off?! I demand some action!"
Goten looked up at his rope. Nothing was cutting it, so there for they couldn't fall. The little toy army man was a stupid villain. If you'd even call it a villain.
"Hey," Trunks said suddenly. "I'm gonna get something to drink, you want anything?"
"Umm..." Goten watched as the older boy untied his rope. The army man hadn't wrapped the rope around Trunks' hands because he had run out of rope.
So, Trunks untied himself and jumped down to the floor below. He walked over to the fridge and opened it up. He began to drool as he grabbed a soda.
"You want one?" He asked Goten.
"Untie me and then I'll have one!" The younger boy said.
"Hey, just because you're the guest doesn't mean you get to boss me around!"
"Uhh... yes it does?"
"Works for me," Trunks said as he flew up to where Goten was and untied him.
Wow. When Trunks is on sugar high, it makes him not able to use his brain! No wonder he's acting so stupid. Goten thought as he jumped down to the floor. I've gotta go get that toy before-
"Soda!" The younger half-Saiyan interrupted his own thoughts.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
"Ya know what?" Trunks asked after he took a sip of his soda.
"What?" Goten asked.
"This water isn't even hot," Trunks said. "It must've been when he got it from the sink, but he forgot to turn on the stove to boil it!"
"If we knew that, we could've done been after the stupid army man!" Goten shouted.
Before either boy could say anything else, the lights went out and somebody screamed.
-------
A/N: Sorry for the cliffie, but I had to stop some where. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter as much as you enjoyed the others! Just to let ya'll know, I don't normally treat Raven like that. It's just for the humor. Now for the questions: who screamed?! And when will Trunks become his normal self? Please review.
