I do not own Dragon Ball Z nor any of the characters. That goes for this entire crazy messed up thing. I welcome any and all reviews. Thank you. I hope you enjoy reading what my tiny brain decided to create.
Author's note:
Happy Easter for those of you waiting on this; the chapter isn't finished yet, it's just so damn long, but will be soon.
Vegeta: For the love of the Gods, please don't let my house blow up.
Piccolo: You could come live with me then and I'd take care of you and your kids.
Vegeta: That is assuming that I survived the wrath of Bulma.
Goku: I'd would take Bulm's over Chichi's any day.
Vegeta (cringing): I think I would too.
Piccolo: I still can't believe she called me a muscle head and demanded I learn to drive.
Goku: I can't believe we blew up the cars.
Vegeta: I don't care how many cars you blow up, just leave my house OUT of it.
Piccolo (hugging his Prince): Ahh, don't worry baby, it'll be okay.
Goku: Sure, what could go wrong? It's only just Gohan and Mirai alone for one night right?
Vegeta: That's what I'm afraid of.
Piccolo (glaring at Goku): I'm sure everything will be fine.
Weibie: (laughs evilly from the great beyond somewhere)
Vacation
Chapter 9
A Night to Remember
Part I
Vegeta sat on the edge of the Lookout with his feet dangling over the edge and the sun's setting rays dusted his face in a soft and warm peaceful glow. He inhaled deeply held it for the briefest moment and then let it out before lying back on the white marble tiles beneath him. He had been watching a large flock of migratory birds float across the sky above the backdrop of clouds below them; silent, graceful, and peaceful, everything that in his mind symbolized this place so high above the world, everything that was his Green Man. He'd have gone mad long ago if it weren't for Piccolo, the steady, unwavering, balance to his sometimes aggressive, explosive, and territorial Saiyan nature. He was forever in the debt of the gods for letting their paths find one another.
Piccolo, who'd been sitting next to him the whole time smiled as the last rays of the sun made deeper and deeper shadows across his Little Prince's face. He was just glad Vegeta could finally get a chance to relax and not have to be stressed out for at least a little while. He planned to treat him like the beautiful prince he was as long as he had him alone up here. He owed Goku for this one. He swept his fingers over the Prince's face brushing a stray strand of his soft hair out of his eyes.
Vegeta looked over at him, kissing his fingertips before they got too far away from his lips. "Thank you Green Man." He rose up on his elbows and let his gaze drift over the massive Namekian.
Piccolo chuckled softly, "You don't need to thank me Little Prince. You know you can come here any time you want to." Piccolo's heart felt a slight sadness; Vegeta didn't get to be here as much as he wished he would.
"I don't know what I'd do without you, Namek. You're my life." Vegeta's thoughts drifted over the many times he'd ran, or rather flew, to this place after he and Bulma had fought, and the many times when he would get up in the middle of the night when he couldn't sleep and came here.
Piccolo smiled softly down at him. "Okay, now you're just filling my head with sunshine, just like your warm sunny disposition." He had to laugh quietly at the blush that quickly spread over Vegeta's cheeks; at the same time it made his heart sing to see it. Though, no one would ever dare call either man a love bird for fear of their life, at this particular moment they came close to it.
Dende cleared his throat quietly, and smiled at them. This was perfect, if the adults were here it meant maybe he could hang out with his friends down on Earth tonight. Piccolo looked up at him with a slightly annoyed glance. Dende shifted his feet nervously. "Umm… I was wondering something…" he paused a moment trying to figure out a way to ask if it was okay to go hang out with Gohan and Mirai.
Piccolo let the annoyance of being interrupted show in his voice, "Well, are you going to ask whatever it is or just polish the floor with your shoes?"
Why did Piccolo always make it feel like he was talking to his father? "Uh… uh… well, I…" The two of them made him feel a little nervous, either one of them could destroy a whole planet, and he still had nightmares from time to time about Vegeta, even if he actually really did like the man now.
Piccolo shook his head, why did Dende feel so nervous? "Just spit it out Dende."
"I was wondering if you're going to be here tonight, is it okay if I go and hang out with my friends down below?" There he said it.
Vegeta had to laugh a little. Here was the guardian of the Earth, but inside he was still a kid. "Sure why not" he felt as if it was good for the boy to be able to act and behave like a goofy teen along with the others. "Gohan and Trunks…"
He didn't get to finish before Dende blurted out in a rush with a gigantic smile, "" he was already speeding off as the last bit left his mouth.
Piccolo raised a brow ridge, "Did you understand any of that?"
"I think that was teenager for your old and lame." Vegeta blinked then burst with laughter.
"Hey, are you saying I'm old and lame?" Piccolo laughed.
"Not old just lame" Vegeta smiled.
"I guess that makes you old then." Piccolo laughed and tickled his beloved little prince. "Ha! You're in trouble now, I've got you all alone and all to myself.
Vegeta kicked and laughed like a young school boy, he felt so light and happy. "No…stop it…"
Piccolo stopped, marveling at him and his thoughts drifted to wondering what Vegeta would have been like had his life been different. He imagined a soft, sweet, man loved by his people and the loving father like he was. He hadn't realized it but as his thoughts wandered his lips had come to rest against his Little Prince's. He smiled and scooped him up into very strong powerful arms. "I'm never gonna stop, baby; even when both of us really are old and lame." He carried him off toward his bedroom, which looked more like the inside of an ancient Grecian temple than any bedroom. Vegeta curled against his Green Man's chest.
The fire crackled causing shadows to dance across the edges of the woods. Goku poked at it with a stick, thinking about how nice it would be to go catch a fish out of the river and throw it on there. His stomach rumbled loudly as if in response to what he'd been thinking about.
"Gosh dad, you sound really hungry. I wish mom was here. She could make us some food." Goten sighed, as his stomach growled to match his dad's.
"My mom can't cook, but dad can a little. Piccolo is better at making food though." Trunks looked at Goten. "You know who I think makes the best food?"
Goten grinned from ear to ear, "Boy do I!"
They both shouted at the same time, "Mr. Popo!"
Goku chuckled, "Well, I'm no food network super chef but I can make some mean roast fish. What do you say, I go catch a nice big one for us and we'll cook it up right here?"
"Wow, dad that'd be great!" Goten stood up still smiling. "I'm gonna go get some marshmallows from the house." He turned and ran toward their domed capsule house.
"Hey wait for me!" Trunks yelled one step behind him.
Goku pulled the top of his Gi off and tossed it on the ground along with his boots and dove into the river. The water was a little chilly on his skin but it wasn't exactly cold. He swam a little ways up stream and discovered a small sleeping school of fish. He smiled to himself, they would have a feast tonight yet.
In the house Goten and Trunks were looking everywhere that marshmallows could possibly hide. "Maybe you guys just don't have any, Goten." Trunks said in a slightly disappointed tone.
"But mom always keeps marshmallows for me. I don't need a fire to toast 'em, I just zap 'em with a little bit of kai and they catch on fire and get all black and crusty the way I like em." He replied still riffling through another cabinet.
Trunks stopped for a second, "I never even thought about that. My mom won't let us have marshmallows anymore."
"Why not Trunks?" Goten took a serious tone, marshmallow were serious food to him, he couldn't live without them.
"One time Mirai took my peeps and said he was gonna blow em up, I said he could not and then he put some in the microwave."
"Really? What happened to them?" Goten asked wide eyed. "Did they blow up like the egg Gohan put in the microwave one time?"
"They got real big! I was so mad at him for ruining my candy. I smashed one in his hair and it kinda got in his ear too." Trunks went back to searching.
Goten gasped. "Did you get in trouble?"
"Dad kinda got mad and was yelling because it kinda got all over everything after he threw the other one at me and it hit the wall. Then mom said we weren't allowed to have them anymore if we couldn't act like human beings with them. Then dad kinda got mad at her and asked what that was supposed to mean since we weren't totally human, and they kinda argued about it for a while. But Grandma gives em to us anyway and they don't know." Trunks laughed at his secret.
"Wow! I wanna see a marshmallow get real big too. I wish we had some here." Goten said with a frown.
"I know!" Trunks said brightening.
"What, what. Tell me tell me tell me…" Goten said excitedly. Trunks always had good ideas.
"We could call Marron and see if she has any." He smiled. "Do you know Master Roshi's phone number?"
"Dad keeps Krillin's number on speed dial." Goten said excitedly picking up his dad's cell phone.
On the other end Krillin's phone went off "Come on everybody hands up Mata ashita no heroes wa comeback Tsuujou kazoe hibi wo countdown Let's go, 3-2-1 make some noise". He smiled, "Well, that's Goku calling. I wondered when disaster would strike." He answered it "Yeeelo, this is Krillin, whatcha need Goku?"
Goten smiled even more. "Hello Krillin."
"Goten?" Krillin got a bit nervous thinking something may have been wrong with his friend. "What's wrong, is your dad alright?"
"Yeah, he's fine. Trunks is spending the night with me at home and we don't have any marshmallows. So we were wondering if Marron had some we could borrow." Goten was hoping she did. "Also, can she come over and play in the fire too?"
Krillin laughed to himself. "Well I don't know about playing in the fire but I think we could come over. It sounds like your dad could use a hand."
"Yay!" Goten shouted.
Trunks smiled really big. "What, what? Does she have any marshmallows? Tell me, tell me too Goten!"
Krillin laughed again. "You can tell Trunks we have marshmallows and Marron will bring them along when we come over. Tell your dad Me, and Master Roshi will be over in a little while, okay?"
"Okay Krillin! Bye for now." He turned off his dad's phone. "Alright! Marron is coming, and Master Roshi, and her dad too!" He said not even trying to hide his excitement.
Trunks beamed. He was going to get to spend time with his woman again. "Common let's go tell your dad." He flew out the door not bothering to run with Goten right behind him.
Dende landed touching down gracefully and softly on his feet on the back patio of Capsule house. He reached out just as Mirai opened the door with a wide grin. "I knew it was you! Come in Dende."
Gohan came running from the family room pulling his shirt on and tackled him out the door. "DENDE!"
Dende blushed. "Heh, sorry if I interrupted anything, Mirai."
"No way man! I'm glad you came down to visit, Dende." Mirai, reached down to help him up.
He stood up and smiled. These two were his best friends, and Gohan was his closest. He was happy they found each other. He just wished he could find a companion as well. "Great, so what are we doing to night besides you guys playing kissy face on the sofa." He elbowed Gohan snickering.
Gohan's face turned a deep red. Mirai on the other hand beamed with pride. His man was one of the strongest in the universe, and even stronger than he himself was. "My sexy man!" He slapped Gohan on the ass making him jump and yelp. Dende rolled with laughter.
"Thanks. Both of you. I'm just going to go crawl in a hole and die now." Gohan said turning and even darker shade of red; if that was at all possible.
Dende smiled his toothy double fanged Namekian grin "No wait! Not before you call Videl and ask her to come over." He grinned even bigger making him look like a cross between a werewolf and a harmless green caterpillar. He had a big crush on her.
Gohan groaned "Do I have to?"
"Please?" He gave his closest friend a sad look.
"Oh alright." He said taking his phone out of his pocket. He began texting her to see if she was busy. As it turned out she was out with her two friends, but would come over if they were all invited. Gohan looked up at Mirai. He knew how much Mirai hated the loud mouth Sharpner. "Is it okay if Sharpner and Erasa come along with her?"
Mirai sighed rolling his eyes, "Fine. But, Sharpner better keep his fucking mouth closed." Gohan went back to texting her.
"Thanks Mirai, I owe you one. Be still my heart." Dende smiled daydreaming.
"Dende, no offense man, but your crush on that girl really kinda creeps me out. She's stupid, loud, and her dad is Mr. Satan. My dad, and even Piccolo can't stand that guy, and he took the credit for killing Cell away from Gohan."
"Yeah but, Videl didn't do anything, and besides, she's beautiful!" Dende's eyes twinkled slightly.
Mirai had to try very hard not to make a gagging noise. "She touches Gohan too much."
Dende chuckled. "You are so much like your dad, Mirai."
"If I was really like my dad, I would just go blow up their mansion and not think anything about it." He smiled at the thought.
"Okay guys, they're on their way over right now." He looked up and saw the expression on Mirai's face. He kissed his lips startling him from his thoughts.
"Huh?" Mirai said blinking.
"I said they're on their way." He picked up a frisbee and smiled. "You guys wanna play for a while till they get here?"
"I'm up for it if you are Mirai." Dende smiled.
"Sure why not. Maybe by that time I won't feel like ripping Sharpner's head off." He took the Frisbee and flung it smiling.
"I got it!" Dende shouted as he flew way into the air to catch it.
He threw it to Gohan who leaped high into the air after it. He threw it back to Dende. "heads up Dende, don't let Mirai get it!"
"What?" Mirai laughed "You guys are just wicked. How's that coming from the Earth's guardian?"
Dende smiled. "It's okay, you not an Earthling right?"
Gohan laughed and pointed at his mate. "Haha!"
Dende threw a dirt clod at Gohan, "Neither are you, Gohan!" He smiled and run off with the Frisbee.
Gohan looked at Mirai open mouthed. Mirai chuckled "Let's get him."
They both ran after the green young man not using any Saiyan speed to somewhat even the match. Mirai used his cell to auto turn on the lights in the back garden and smiled as he punched in the key code on his cell turning on his own personal collection of music. He tucked his phone in his pocket and ran a little harder tackling Gohan. They rolled across the lawn in a ball.
Dende laughed and stopped running for a second. "Hey you Saiyan ass, you can't tackle MY friend!" He threw the Frisbee he was still holding at his head. It bounced off the side of his head with a loud thunk. He smiled his fangy grin and waved. "Bye" he ran as fast as he could yelling as he went.
"OW!" Mirai rubbed the side of his head. "Dende you're such an ass hole!" He got up and darted after his friend with a mock super Saiyan yell.
"I'll save you Dende!" Gohan got up and ran after them, thinking about how much he missed being able to just hang out and have fun. They all had huge responsibilities way beyond their ages.
They were all so engrossed in their alien game of tackle they missed the small yellow craft as it approached and landed in the far corner of the back lawn. Three very human teens disembarked from it.
Sharpner was the last one to step off the craft looking around, "So this is where that jerk creep lives?"
Videl swung around glaring at him. "Shut up, if you blow this for me I'm kicking your retarded ass."
"Fine! But if he says anything to me I'm not going to hold anything back, Videl. I'll beat the shit out of him, after all I'm one of your dad's best students" He protested.
"Wow. I always wondered what capsule Corporation was like. I can't believe I'm standing here in the middle of it!" Erasa said as her eyes darted everywhere. They stood watching the three friends and the very rough game they were playing.
Dende yelled just as Miari caught hold of the edge of the short vest he was wearing. They both went down in a tumble. Gohan was only a step behind and fell with them and all three rolled across the yard laughing as they went.
The three human kids stared gaping at them. "I don't get how they don't break their necks doing that stuff."
"Dad always says they use tricks and stuff. It's all probably some kind of bullshit they do to fool people. I don't care. I still like Gohan." Videl said smiling walking over to them. "Hey, Gohan!"
He looked up from beneath the pile of his friends and smiled weakly. "Oh, hi Videl." They all stood up and attempted to brush themselves off.
Mirai tapped in a code for his favorite song and folded his arms across his chest looking right at sharpner. "Welcome to Capsule Corp." he said while thinking "You creep". Gohan heard the thought and elbowed Mirai in the side. "ow".
Erasa's eyes sparkled. "Oh wow Mirai, your mom has a beautiful garden." She smiled sweetly at him batting her lashes.
"Uh… thanks, I'll tell her you said so." He said 'yeah right, not in a million years goofball' he thought. Gohan elbowed him again. "What?"
"Heh, are you guys thirsty?" He asked nervously. "You want some lemonade? Mirai's grandma makes some mean lemonade." He smiled, trying to defuse his mates irritation.
Dende smiled at the thought of it "I'll take some! You need some help getting it?"
"Sure! Who else wants some?" Gohan said with the same goofy smile his father would give people.
Sharpner pulled out a bottle of alcohol with a smart assed smile saying "No thanks I brought my own."
Mirai became a little more livid "Hey, you can't drink that here Sharpner!"
"What's wrong Briefs? You don't drink?" Sharpner asked sarcastically.
"Sharpner you stupid fuck, if dad found out someone had alcohol underage here he'd come unglued." Mirai said.
"But he won't find out if no one says anything. You're not going to tell are you Briefs?"
"Put it away." He said staring the idiot in the face.
Sharpner tucked it back into his jacket pocket. "Whatever Briefs."
"Come on Dende. We'll go and get something everyone can drink." Gohan said grabbing Dende's sleve and pulling him along as he walked toward the kitchen door.
"Hey wait up, I'll help." Videl said taking Gohan's other arm. She looked at Dende with a raised brow, "Who are you? Or more importantly, 'what' are you? I don't think I've ever seen you around."
Dende smiled really big at her leaving his double fangs exposed. "I'm Dende. Your dad is Mr. Satan isn't he?"
Gohan rolled his eyes secretly thinking 'Oh Brother'.
Videl scowled when she saw his teeth. "Yeah." She looked him up and down. "You're not from here are you."
Gohan gave her a nervous chuckle "Of course Dende is from around here, Videl." They walked into the kitchen and Gohan opened the fridge to get several bottles of Lemonade.
Dende couldn't keep his eyes off of her. "Well I wasn't from here originally, I came here after my home got blasted."
"Really?" Videl was genuinely curious now, she could understand him being a refugee, it made sense. "What happened?"
"Mirai's dad and a bunch of others basically blew it up." He said flatly.
Videl fell over. Gohan looked at Dende thinking to him. 'why'd you have to go and tell her that?' He bent down and helped her to her feet. Dende thought back to him 'sorry! It just came out before I could think about it.' She looked at them suspiciously wondering why it looked as if they were talking without saying anything.
"What's up with you two?" She finally asked.
Gohan was startled by her voice "huh? Nothin, why?"
Meanwhile back outside, Mirai had to deal with the other two airheads. "I already told you Sharpner, I was homeschooled because regular schools are lame and not advanced enough"
"I think you just couldn't make Orange Star's entrence exams and your mom couldn't pay the board off." He said smugly.
Mirai clenched his fists. "You're a fucking moron Sharpner."
Erasa put a hand in the center of his chest and smiled up at him then turned and glared at her friend. "Cut it out!" She said pointing at Sharpner's chest. "Mirai's super smart like his mom. She runs Capsule Corp and comes up with a lot of their inventions."
Sharpner laughed, "I bet he's a weakling! He's already said he's afraid of his dad, and now he's hiding behind a woman." He looked at Mirai and stared daring him.
Mirai instinctively drew a little more energy in. "You're the weak fuck, Sharpner!" Erasa squeeled with delight and leaned against him a little more. Mirai ignored her.
Sharpner laughed outright. "HA! I train with Mr. Satan!"
Gohan looked up then looked at Dende, "Do you feel that?"
"Feel what?" Videl looked confused; the ground wasn't shaking was it?
"Shit" Dende said "We better get back out there."
Mirai started laughing loud and hard at Sharpner's comment. "You've got to be kidding me? That guy is the world's biggest joke!"
Videl heard what he had to say about her dad. She was instantly lit. "Why is my dad a joke, you ingrate? My dad saved the world from Cell!"
Mirai caught a glimpse of Gohan making a slashing motion and shaking his head. He rolled his eyes and sighed thinking to him 'fine'. "Right, your dad killed Cell and saved us all. I forgot."
Dende piped up "That's right he did, didn't he!"
She looked at Gohan and touched his chest. "What do you think about my dad Gohan?"
Mirai was instantly hot again. "Who me?" He smiled that goof nervous grin like his dad again and began stammering, "Uh… uh… well, I don't know… He's the champ right?"
"Damned straight he is!" Sharpner yelled still staring at Mirai. "He can kick your dad's ass with one hand tied behind his back!"
Gohan's googled for a second and he chuckled, "Uh… I don't know. Vegeta's pretty tough, he gives even my dad a run for it. He's not easy to defeat that's for sure."
This time it was Videl who laughed. "His dad is really short. I don't think he could even manage to hit my dad."
Mirai had had enough of the bullshit talk. He laughed again, mad this time. "My little brother Trunks could beat the crap out of him!"
Sharpner got in Mirai's face "You can't insult my friend and master like that!" He tried to shove him but Mirai didn't budge in the slightest.
Gohan tried to get between them to break it up but Mirai waved his hand at him "It's okay, I won't hurt this dweeb." He laughed.
"That's okay" Videl said "I don't have a problem hurting you!" She kicked him in the side as hard as she could but he barely felt it. "My dad saved the world, show some respect!"
"Your dad couldn't rescue a peanut from a squirrel. And another thing get your hands off of Gohan!" Mirai said.
Dende blinked instantly becoming the Earth's guardian again and leaving behind the normal teenage boy. This was no longer playing. "I think perhaps everyone is getting a little too bent out of shape. Maybe we could all take a step back and reflect on the issue before anyone says anything else harsh they cannot take back."
Sharpner yelled at Dende, "Who died and made you God?" He grabbed Dende by his vest and shoved the young Namekian knocking him to the ground and was up in Mirai's face shouting. "I knew it! You're gay aren't you! What, you got a thing for Gohan?"
"You stupid mother fucker!" Mirai lunged at him "Dende IS your God! How dare you knock him down!" The two went down in a knock down fight.
The same nosey woman down the street who had been watching Vegeta and Piccolo earlier in the week had been watching the kids and their whole ordeal. "Jim, I just know those kids are doing drugs! They have loud music playing and now they're rolling around on the ground like they're having some vulgar orgy!" She turned back to watching them through her binoculars. "I'm calling the police!"
"So their music is a little loud, it doesn't mean they're having gang sex, Sharron." Her husband said trying to ignore her. "The Briefs boys seem nice enough to me."
She sneered as she continued to spy on them through the curtains. "I don't believe it! They've got Mr. Satan's daughter into it! I bet she's trying to stop their wrong doing!"
Gohan yelled, "AGHH…. Mirai, no!" Gohan dove on Sharpner trying to pry his mate away from the idiot.
Dende, struggled to try and help pull them apart. "You guys, fighting isn't the answer here!"
Videl was ticked off at Mirai for saying the stuff about her dad, but she was even angrier at Sharpner. He swore he'd keep his mouth shut. She could deal with stupid people talking shit about her dad, you couldn't please everyone, her dad taught her that, but Sharpner ruined her chance to spend the evening with Gohan. And why the hell was Mirai so pissed off about her touching Gohan. She kneeled down and tried to help Dende pull them apart.
The whole ball of them rolled over finally shaking Erasa out of the shock she had been in seeing her boyfriend being attacked. "Hey you big bully, don't hurt my boyfriend!" Apparently smart enough to realize Mirai meant business.
Sharron inhaled sharply, "My god, they're all going at it right in the open, they've all been snorting that crack and drinking god only knows what!" she threw her binoculars down and picked up the phone dialing the West City Police station as she walked out on her front porch.
"West City Police" a deep voice answered, "District 42. How can we help you?"
"Hello?" Sharron said drawing herself up confidently "I want to report an out of control party. There are a whole bunch of kids down the street including Mr. Satan's daughter, and they're doing drugs and playing loud music and drinking and now they're having some big group orgy thing! It's just vulgar I tell you!"
"Whoa, slow down ma'am." The man blinked, did she just say Mr. Satan's daughter was being forced into an orgy? "Tell me exactly what is going on and where this is happening."
"I just told you. There is a big bunch of teenagers down the street playing loud music, doing that crack stuff, drinking underage, and now they are having an ORGY! Do you understand that now? Mr. Satan's daughter is down there, bless her soul, and those boys drug her down with them." Sharron said irritably.
"Where is this party at ma'am?" The voice on the other end asked.
"It's out in the back garden at Capsule Corp! I always knew those people were weird!" She said.
"We're sending people right now ma'am. Just stay indoors and don't go outside. We don't want anyone to get hurt." He said.
"I'm always ready to do my duty as a concerned citizen." She hung up the phone and hurried back inside to watch everything from behind her curtain again. "This will teach those obnoxious kids to behave!"
"Look Erasa" Sharpner kept gouging "I bet this guy is gay!"
"Let go Sharpner!" Videl shouted at him. "You're going to end up getting us all in trouble or something." She punched him in the ribs breaking the bottle of alcohol he had in his jacket pocket; it spilled all over them making them smell like a distillery.
At about that time a helicopter hovered overhead with a light shining brightly on them. A voice shouted boomingly loud. "Police! Freeze where you are all of you!"
Dende murmured "Oh hell, I'll never be able to explain this to Piccolo"
Videl stood up and waved. "It's okay, I'm Videl. I'm Mr. Satan's daughter!"
The man in the helicopter shouted "Step back and stand still young lady!"
About that time a swarm of police came from nowhere through the garden at the startled teens shouting "Freeze! Police, we got you surrounded!"
One man stepped forward and asked "Do any of you have any weapons or anything dangerous that we need to know about?"
Dende spoke quietly "Um, I think there's some broken glass, but that's it."
The man flipped his tazer to charge. "What is your name and why is there broken glass?"
"My name is Dende sir." He looked at his feet embarrassed. "And … there's glass because when Videl hit Sharpner the bottle he had broke" He clenched his eyes shut, well that didn't help any of them, it only made it worse.
"Which one of you kids is Sharpner?"
Sharpner stood up. "I am. I'm a student at Orange Star High School."
The officer stared at him as if he were an idiot. "I'm not interested in where you go to school. I wanna know what you were doing with a bottle and why Videl broke it. Who is Videl here?"
"I am officer. Like I said my dad is Mr. Satan."
"No kidding?" The officer smiled very briefly before becoming serious again. "I might have to ask for your autograph later but first I need to understand exactly what is going on here tonight and why I am getting a call for domestic disturbance in the middle of the night."
"Yes sir." She said and stepped back to stand next to Erasa.
"Now Sharpner, I wanna know what kind of bottle you had and why Videl broke it." The man sniffed the air catching the scent of alcohol and scrunched his nose. Nothing was looking good for these kids tonight.
Sharpner smiled, "It was a bottle of very expensive imported Jamaican dark rum." He really was a total dumb ass.
"Rum?" The first officer there shook his head. "Alright so who gave you a bottle of rum Sharpner?" He was already adding the charges in his head, underage drinking…
"No one gave it to me, I took it from my father's liquor cabinet." The idiot blurted out.
Theft… "Right, now why did Videl break it?" he asked.
Videl spoke up this time. "I didn't mean to break it. I was punching him to get him to let go of Mirai and it was in his pocket and broke.
Fighting… "Right, now which one of you all is Mirai?" he asked looking over all of them.
"I am." Mirai spoke up. 'Gohan dad is going to kill me for this one.' He thought to his mate.
"Great, tall kid with the purple hair. Now what's your story?" The policeman asked staring at him.
"I'm Mirai Briefs. I live here."
"So why were you fighting with your friend here, Mirai? And can you please turn your music off." Loud music…domestic disturbance…
"Sure officer." He took his cell phone out and keyed the music off.
"Thank you Mirai. Now why were you fighting with your friend?"
Mirai glared at Sharpner with daggers in his eyes. "He's not my friend. And I was fighting with him because he insulted my dad and Dende."
"If he's not your friend why is he here then?"
Mirai answered, unable to lie about the situation. 'sorry Dende, I can't help it' he thought looking at his friend.
'It's alright. Just tell the truth and we'll be okay' Dende thought back to him.
"Dende asked Gohan to call Videl and invite her over tonight, but she was with those two" he said pointing at Sharpner and Erasa "And they came along with her because she wouldn't come if they didn't."
"And who is Dende again?" The officer asked.
"I am sir." Dende said stepping forward.
"And why are you here?"
'Great now what do I say?' he thought to Mirai and Gohan both.
'Oh man, we can't tell them that dad's off with Piccolo, it would be embarrassing for mom, not to mention dad.' Mirai thought to them.
'Just tell them only what they need to know Dende. We're hanging out here because our dads are all hanging out at your house.' Gohan thought to him.
"I'm waiting son. Why are you here tonight?" The officer asked impatiently.
"Well, our dads were at my house so we came here to Mirai's." He smiled showing his fangs, which startled the officer, he quickly dropped his smile.
"I see" Officer pleasant personality said writing in his note pad. He looked up and asked "Right, who's Gohan?"
Gohan stepped forward. "heh…That'd be me."
"And you're here because?"
"My dad and little brother and Mirai's little brother are camping out in our back yard which I thought was pretty lame, so I came over here too." Gohan said sheepishly.
"I take it that your dad and his dad are friends then?" The man asked.
"Yes sir. For a long time." He answered.
The officer looked at Videl. "So where is your dad, is he with theirs too?"
"No, sir; I don't know where my dad is." She rolled her eyes thinking 'probably in bed with some stupid bimbo'.
The officer looked up and pointed to the young blond woman, "Last but not least, who are you young lady?"
Erasa looked up, "Me? My name is Erasa. I basically came along for the ride."
"I guess this just isn't your night then is it Erasa. Next time be careful who you hang out with." He looked at all of them "Where are all your mothers at then?" He asked the group.
Mirai spoke first "My mom and Gohan's mom are on vacation at some spa somewhere."
Dende looked at the ground then up at the officer. "I don't have a mother."
"But you got a father." The officer said thinking aloud to himself.
"I don't have a mother either." Videl looked at Dende a moment then said. "She died when I was very young." 'so his mom died too, or else she ran off and left him.' She smiled slightly finding something in common with the green boy.
The policeman looked up at he and said "I'm sorry to hear that." He looked at Sharpner. "So where are your mom and dad?"
"My parents are away at a business conference." He replied sarcastically.
"Which explains how you were able to steal alcohol from their liquor cabinet. Now doesn't it." He narrowed his eyes at the smart mouthed kid. "You just have a winning personality don't you boy. I can see why these other kids didn't really want you coming over." Now what about you Erasa, where are your parents?"
Erasa frowned, "My parents are at home sir."
"Do they live in West City?" He asked. At least one of them had attentive parents.
She frowned even more, "Yes, sir. Can I call them, now?"
"No you may not Erasa. I am arresting all of you for drinking underage, loud music, domestic disturbance, theft of liquor, and lewd public conduct." The officer said flipping his book closed. "All of you smell like you've been drinking, and you admitted to having alcohol at your party. I'm sorry but that's the way it is."
Dende, Gohan, and Mirai were stunned. They stared gape mouthed at each other unable to send any thoughts save for shock.
The other officers present began to cuff the wayward teens with nylon zip cuffs.
Dende was the first to snap out of it 'what the hell are we going to do you guys? Piccolo, and Vegeta are going to murder us!'
Gohan thought to them as they were being loaded into the swat van, 'my dad isn't exactly going to be happy about it.'
'No offence babe, but my dad can really get mad and blow his ass sometimes. And he is going to stroke out at this.' Mirai thought with dread.
