Vacation
Chapter 11
A Night to Remember
Part IV
Mirai and Gohan touched down on the balcony leading straight into his bedroom at Capsule Corp. He looked back at Gohan as he hit the thumb lock making the door swish open; his mate looked completely exhausted. "You okay babe?" he asked offering his hand to him.
Gohan nodded and yawned as he took his hand and stepped through the open door and into his rather large bedroom. "I'm just really tired. All I want to do is forget this night ever happened."
When they were both inside and the door relocked Mirai stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders lightly, "Come on, next week we can laugh about the whole thing, but right now let's just go to bed." He pulled Gohan's shirt over his head.
Gohan let him do it. Inside, his emotions were boiling; first they got arrested, then he had to watch his dad get arrested, then he found out he didn't have a home any more. He hadn't slept since he couldn't tell when, and it was all just too much for him. He shivered and shook as tears began to trickle down his scraped and dirty cheeks. He turned around and clung to Mirai who held him close and gentle. "I can't believe it." He sobbed into his lover's shoulder. "Tonight started off so awesome, and finally we were gonna get to be alone, and all it was, was a disaster!" He looked into Mirai's eyes. "A disaster!" He buried his face in his shoulder and cried uncontrollably.
Mirai smiled softly. "Hey, that's not totally true." He ran his fingers through his short spiky black hair. "We found out we have some good friends." He lifted his chin and kissed his eyes. "Dende found a girlfriend." He swept the hair from his face and chuckled softly trying to lighten the mood, "And besides, dad didn't kill me like I thought he would."
Gohan sniffled a little and smiled weakly, "Did you see the look on Sharpner's face when your dad broke his Grandpa's hand?"
Mirai smiled a little more. "No, but I saw dad's look of satisfaction."
They both broke out into a weak soft laughter. "I guess you're right. It wasn't a complete loss tonight." He turned, wrapping his tail around Mirai's wrist, and walked toward the bathroom. "Let's hit the shower and then hit the hay. I don't think I can stay awake much longer."
Krillin had finally gotten the kids to settle down and into bed. Marron had a bunk in her room with a full bed on the bottom and a twin on the top; he just put the boys both on the bottom and her on top. He passed by her room on the way to his own and could hear them whispering about the night's event's, but he also heard yawns. 'Good' he thought to himself. 'They all three need some shut eye'. He still didn't know exactly what they'd done to start a fire, or even if they'd started it at all. He didn't push it tonight. He wanted to talk with Goku and Vegeta before he asked Marron about it. "We'll save that for tomorrow." He whispered walking on toward his own room.
"I thought Mister Satan looked scared." Goten whispered.
"He always looks scared. I think your dad was flyin' faster than I've ever seen him move before, Marron." Trunks commented.
"Mister Goku was movin' the fastest, but I bet my daddy got just as much water from the river as he did." Marron said while yawning.
"Dad's the best guy in the whole big universe." Goten mumbled. "And, I'm sorry I burned you Trunks."
"I forgot about it already, Goten." He yawned deeper too. "Sorry we didn't make your fireflies last longer, Marron."
"It's okay." She whispered barely awake. "Good night, Goten. Good night Trunksy." She closed her eyes and was out in seconds.
Goten was already snoring quietly, and Trunks wasn't very far behind. They'd had the longest night of their lives. Trunks fell asleep wondering where his dad was and why they got to spend the night at Kami House tonight; before he could complete the thought he was out as well. They all three were finally resting leaving their troubles behind for the world of dreams.
Back at the jail Goku sat bored and started to mentally count the bars of the holding cell again. "Will you please stop!" Vegeta shouted, "I can't take you counting again!"
Everyone blinked. "Uh… nobody was countin anything." Mister Satan said flatly.
"I'm not talking to you, baka. I was talking to Kakarot." Vegeta said irritably.
"Oh, sorry." Hercule replied. He looked at Goku confused not having heard anything out of Goku's mouth for the last half an hour. "Heh. Can I ask you a question Goku?"
"Sure, you can ask me anything." He smiled at his loud human friend.
"Why's he always callin you Kakarot?" Satan asked.
Goku thought about it for a minute before he answered truthfully, "Well, back on planet Vegeta, before Frieza blew it up, when I was born my father named me Kakarot; but when grandpa Gohan found me as a baby he named me Goku. So to Saiyans I'm Kakarot, and to everyone who knows me on Earth, I'm Goku." He smiled his trademark goofy grin and scratched the back of his head.
Hercule looked even more confused as he fell over. He picked himself up and sat down again. "Uh, whadaya mean, planet Vegeta?"
"Oh! That's the planet Vegeta and I were born on. He's the Prince of Planet Vegeta and I am his hereditary guard, since my brother Raditz died." He said it with no second thought.
Kendal Sharpner made a sort of laughing noise. "Yeah, right. That short cocky bastard and his son are exiled princes from another planet that got blown up?"
Goku, Piccolo and even Vegeta who'd poked his head out of his lover's cloak, stared a hole through the impossible, obnoxious, man. "Do you have a problem with that?" Vegeta asked with fire in his eyes.
Kendal looked away ignoring everyone not willing to start a pointless argument with someone who was obviously mental. Hercule closed his mouth, "So, he really is a long lost prince?"
"Yep." Goku smiled at his friend as what he said finally began soaking into Satan's head.
"Well how 'bout that!" He said smiling looking at the man across the hall wrapped up in the green one's cloak. "I knew there was somethin' about that guy."
"Piccolo is also a prince." Goku said as if it were an obvious fact. Satan's jaw dropped as he fell over. "His father was King Piccolo."
Hercule's eyes got as wide as saucers, "Y…you… you mean… that tyrant was his dad?!" He couldn't believe it. "H… h… he's not gonna try an kill us all is he?"
Piccolo rolled his eyes from across the hall. Kendal even looked nervous and scooted himself the furthest he could away from the giant green man.
Piccolo chuckled, "Relax, I've found a lot of reasons not to follow in my father's footsteps; besides, I've grown to fond of watching human folly."
"What… exactly are you guys? I mean, you and that little guy don't look like regular folks. Uh, no offense there er anything." Hercule was genuinely curious, he'd wondered many times exactly what the green monk and his kid were.
"We're from a planet called Namek. Our people are descended from, what you would call, a type of plant." He frowned thinking back on it. "It was destroyed by the same monster that destroyed Vegeta's home planet." He unconsciously pulled Vegeta a little closer. "My people were lucky; they escaped, thanks to a bunch of generous humans here on Earth. Now they reside on New Namek."
"How come you and… Dende?... don't live with your people?" Hercule asked. He really didn't know when to just keep his mouth closed.
"Like Goku, I was raised here on Earth; and I discovered a reason to stay here. Besides, Dende needs someone to watch out for him." Piccolo said with a smile rubbing the prince's arm.
Hercule picked up on what he was hinting at right away, glancing at the alien prince. He decided not to ask anything else. "oh. Well, I think you're all good people. Aliens or not." He went back to leaning against the wall.
Master Roshi and the Ox King walked into the police station. The same woman from earlier looked up and smiled thinking 'Oh ain't he a handsome one!'. Then she said " Well hello, may I help you two handsome young men with something?" She looked toward the Ox King half way batting her lashes at him.
It was Roshi who spoke. "Well, yes." He began lathering it on looking straight at her boobs. "It seems you have some of our boys holed up here. I figured yer so pretty, you must be the one to know how to tell us what we need to do to get them out." The Ox King caught on and gave her a big nice guy smile.
She waved her hand, "pfft. I'm probably the only one who knows anything around this place." She gave them both her best smile and began pulling up the information page on her computer. "I feel sorry for you handsome men; after all having to get out of bed in the middle of the night."
Roshi leaned over the counter a bit more so he could look down her shirt, "Ahh, if we didn't have to get out of bed we wouldn't have gotten the chance to meet such a lovely young lady."
She looked back up at them, "Alrighty, can you give me the names of who you're here to pick up?" she gave them a sort of come hither look flirting back just as much.
The Ox King spoke up, "Well, we need to get several people."
"Well sure Honey, anything for you two." She said coyly.
The Ox King gave her a warm smile, "We need to get, Goku," he waited for her to type it in then continued, "Vegeta," he grinned and glanced at Master Roshi, "and also Piccolo."
She finished typing the information in and looked up. "Okay, got it! You two sweet things can have a seat over there while they're processed out."
They sat down on the benches opposite one another and leaned forward whispering under their breath. "She waved all those fines, did you see that?" Roshi mumbled keeping his sweetish innocent smile going.
"Yeah, I thought we'd have to pay it for each one of them." Ox King kept the gentleman act up; not that he had to act in the first place.
"She let us get Piccolo also, even though we're only supposed to be reasonable for no more than one person at a time." Roshi mumbled back.
"It's because you're a sweet talker, Roshi." The ox King had to chuckle quietly at his longtime friend and old Master.
Roshi cackled quietly wiggling his eye brows with w dirty smile. They both looked up when they herd the door to the waiting hold creak open. Three very irritable aliens walked through and strode toward the one who'd pledged to be responsible for them.
Goku spoke first, "Thank you for coming to get us out so quickly Master Roshi," he turned to his father-in-law. "and I can't thank you enough too."
The Ox King patted him and the others on the back. "After everything you three have done for this planet, it's the least thing we could do. We owe all three of you so much more than this." He gave all of them a genuine smile. "Oh, before I forget, Piccolo, Dende is at Erasa's house and her mama expects you to be picking him up." He said looking at the large Namekian warrior.
"You've got to be kidding." Piccolo muttered.
"Where are our brats at?" Vegeta asked with a touch of worry in his eyes.
"Trunks and Goten are at my place with Krillin and Gohan and Mirai went back to Capsule Corp." Roshi answered.
"Well, if it's okay with you Master Roshi, we'll leave Trunks and Goten at your place for the night and come and get them sometime tomorrow afternoon." Goku asked hoping it was; he just didn't think he was up to dealing with it any more tonight.
"Of course! I'll have cue ball look after them till you get there." Roshi chuckled.
"I'll stay over and help watch them too. You all look like you need to sleep in." The old Ox King said.
Goku smiled gratefully at him, "Thanks, I owe you one for this."
"No problem, Goku." He smiled back as they headed for the door.
"Great, after we get Dende, we can all go back to my house and MAYBE be able to sleep for more than five minutes." Vegeta said with a touch of sarcasm in his already stressed out voice.
"You guys can go on back to Capsule house if you want. I can go get Dende by myself" Piccolo said rubbing Vegeta's shoulders.
"Nonsense" Vegeta said stepping to the side to let a monkish looking man through the in-door. The man nodded his thanks and continued his way to the desk. They all paused a moment before going out. "We'll all three go together and then we'll all go home and rest".
"Are you sure you're up to it little prince?" Piccolo looked at him with worry etched into his brow.
"I'm just fine, Green Man." He smiled up at his massive lover. "Let's just go so we can get back home."
Master Roshi stopped and turned for a moment before leaving, "Bye Honey, you try not to work too hard now" he said still flirting with the woman at the desk till the bitter end.
She looked up and waved to him, "Bye now Sweetie, maybe we'll see each other again sometime under better circumstances."
"Yeah, maybe we will sometime, Darlin." He stepped out the door with the others muttering under his breath "I hope hell freezes over before that day comes."
They overheard her address the man who just walked in as they left, "What do you want? More of those crazies we've had in here tonight?" her tone was very sarcastic again.
They finally got outside. The sun was just starting to rise in the east as a faintish red glow. Roshi and the Ox King climbed into the car and headed off toward Kami House. Vegeta, Goku, and Piccolo lifted into the air and headed toward Dende's kai signature.
Dende looked up from the board game he and the girls had been playing in the direction of the three energies he felt approaching. "Oh, I think my dad is here."
"Awe, really?" Videl sounded disappointed even though they'd been up all night playing games and talking getting to know each other. By now Dende could say he had two new good friends.
About that time the doorbell rang. "Darn it! We were having so much fun." Erasa moaned. In the end it had turned out to be a good night for these three teens at least.
"Dende, your father's here to pick you up!" Erasa's mom called down from the top of the stairs.
Dende stood up, "Well, I guess I have to go now. Thank you for asking me to stay with you while I was waiting for my dad." He smiled to both girls.
Videl stood up with him, "I'm really glad I got to meet you tonight Dende. Maybe we could hang out more?" She was secretly praying that he would agree.
"Really Videl?" he smiled a lot more. "I'd love that. I'd give you my cell number but I don't have one yet. But I'm gonna see if my dad will let me get one." He looked at her with shining eyes. "You can reach me through Gohan though, till I get a phone anyway"
"That'd be super." she leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
Dende trotted up the stairs blushing a light lavender color across his cheeks. He quietly closed the door behind him. He could hear the girls giggling and whispering to each other about everything that had happened that night. He turned around and looked right at Piccolo who was standing in the foyer along with Goku and Vegeta. "Hey dad."
"Are you ready to go then?" Piccolo smiled at him noticing the blush in his cheeks.
"Yep, we had fun playing board games till you got here." He beamed.
'Tell me about it later, right now we all just want to go to Capsule and sleep' He thought to him. "Thank you again for letting him stay here till we came for him." He told Vanessa.
"Oh it's no problem. They were all pretty quiet tonight. Dende, you're welcome to visit here any time you like."
"Thank you ma'am." He replied as they all walked out onto the porch. It was now getting a bit lighter outside. Morning was well on its way to arriving. "Bye, Ma'am."
"Any time Hon. Bye bye." She closed the door happy to finally go to bed. 'such a long night' she thought to herself.
The small group blasted into the sky and disappeared in the direction of Capsule Corporation. "I think I'll stay with everyone at Capsule Corp instead of going back to the lookout for now' Dende thought to Piccolo.
'I don't think Vegeta will care. Now, you wanna tell me why you were blushing?' Piccolo mentally asked; even though he already knew what had happened. He just wanted to watch Dende squirm over it first.
'I wasn't blushing!' he gave a mental protest.
'Yes you were. I saw purple all over your face.' Piccolo inwardly laughed.
Dende shoved him as they came up on Capsule house, 'Shut up. I was not blushing' he mentally laughed back acknowledging he realized Piccolo knew Videl had kissed him.
"Thank the Gods." Vegeta stated. He keyed a series of numbers into the lock pad and laid his palm on the screen. "If anyone wakes me up before noon, I'll rip their heads off. Everybody can sleep where they wish." He took Piccolo by the hand and floated inside too tired to walk.
Once inside everyone dispersed to find deep dark rooms to sleep away the troubles from what had become the longest night of their lives. No one even had the energy left to say good night to anyone. They simply wanted to forget about everything; for now at least.
