HOLY SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP, IT'S AN UPDATE!!! IT'S A MIRACLE!! *falls to knees and begs* Please, please forgive me for the stupid wait. I really never intended to be one of those writers that never updates…but I doubt that any writer ever does. But my computer has been cured!! Yep, virus free, and loaded up with protection. It's been working for a couple days now, and I've finally sat down to finish what I started a while ago. I really hope you can forgive me. Enjoy the chapter!

P.S. Goten and Trunks are about the age they were during the Buu Saga (kids). I figured that would make the chapter a bit more fun ^_^

Chapter 6: Goten and Trunks

*TeamNorthman runs onto stage, smiling and waving at audience as they stand and cheer. The studio is new and wonderful. Things look a bit more modern, and the stage is brighter than how it used to be. Piccolo and Vegeta are standing where they always stand, both with their arms crossed and serious expressions on their faces.*

TeamNorthman: *Stands at center stage.* "Hello everyone! How have you all been? Please let me take this moment to apologize for the awful wait I put you all through. I wish I could give you all a legitimate excuse, but I don't really have one…" *Scratches head nervously, looking guilty.* "But enough of that! Let's get straight on to that interview!" *Turns around and faces Vegeta and Piccolo.* "Uuumm…" *Whispers.* "Which one ended up winning?"

Piccolo: *Eyes widen.* "Uuhh…actually…they couldn't choose which one should go first."

TeamNorthman: "Huh? Well what does that mean?"

Vegeta: *Glares at her.* "It means they're both here, you idiot."

TeamNorthman: *Gasps.* "Gah! Both of them at the same time? Is that safe?"

Vegeta: "It doesn't matter! There's no way we're going to try and make them decide on which one goes first again. That was an experience I refuse to go through twice in one lifetime."

TeamNorthman: "But…what…what if they get all hyped up and break something?!" *Suddenly worrying about her new studio.*

Vegeta: "What do you think me and Piccolo are for?!"

TeamNorthman: *Scowls.* "You say that like you're good at your job or something."

Vegeta: "Would you just start the interview already?! I'm in no mood for you in your obnoxious voice!"

TeamNorthman: *Pinches the bridge of her nose.* "Fine, fine." *Turns back and looks at the audience.* "I have some wonderful news, ladies! Today we have two guests joining us! Isn't that great?" *Bites lip and gives Piccolo and Vegeta a nervous glance.* "They're a duo that should never be taken for granted, and absolutely adorable. Please give a warm welcome to Goten and Trunks!" *The audience goes wild as the two little Saiyans sprint onto the stage. Both of them are a blur until they both skid to a stop.*

Goten: "I totally beat you Trunks! Just like I said I would!" *Sticks his tongue out and puts his hands on his hips.*

Trunks: *Scowls and crosses his arms.* "No way Goten. I beat you by at least three feet!"

Goten: *Jaw drops.* "What?! There's no way! Quit lying Trunks, you know I was here first!"

Trunks: *Clenches his fist at his sides.* "I was here first!"

Goten: *Same stance as Trunks.* "No, I was!"

Trunks: *Clenches teeth.* "I was!"

Goten: "I WAS!" *Tackles Trunks to the ground.*

TeamNorthman: *Taken by surprise.* "H-hey you two! Break it up!" *Audience members stand up and begin chanting "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"*

*Goten and Trunks suddenly leap apart, looking prepared for a big battle. Both of them simultaneously turn into Super Saiyans.*

Goten: "Bring it on!"

Trunks: "Fine, let's go!" *Both of them glare viciously at each other and prepare to attack.*

TeamNorthman: *Begins having a flashback of Goku blasting a massive hole into the roof of her studio. Then she begins screaming.* "NO, NO, NO!!" *Sprints in between Goten and Trunks, then holds her hands up.* "DON'T YOU DARE!"

Trunks and Goten: *Point at each other.* "He started it!"

TeamNorthman: "I don't care who started it! You two will not trash my brand new studio!" *Grabs both of them by their shirts and yanks them towards her.* "You've been here 30 seconds and you two are already in danger of tearing things apart! We are going to have a normal interview today, and we are going to act civilized. That means you will sit down, listen, and answer a question only when asked one. Understand?!" *Trunks and Goten look away from her with a pout faces and nod. Then they both power down back to normal.* "Good." *Pulls out stage remote and presses the button for the chairs.* "Alrighty, since we only have two chairs, you two sit down and I'll stand." *Goten and Trunks sit down in the chairs and look up at TeamNorthman.*

Piccolo: *Leans towards Vegeta and whispers.* "Wow, I think she may have this under control."

Vegeta: *Narrows his eyes.* "These are two child Saiyans. She'll slip up, just watch."

TeamNorthman: *Pulls out note cards with questions.* "Okay! Who first?" *Piccolo face-palms, Vegeta snorts and says "Told you!", and the audience members are suddenly at the edges of their seats. Goten and Trunks give each other a sly glare. TeamNorthman looks back and forth between them and then slaps her hand over her mouth.* "Gah! Uh, um, I mean…I'll pick who goes first!!" *Shakes head and takes a deep breath.* "Wow that was close…"

Vegeta: *Shakes head, looking disgusted.* "If you slip up, I'm not helping! I've already had to participate in the horrific task of getting them here."

TeamNorthman: *Scowls at him.* One-You will help because it's your job. And two-one of these kids is your responsibility. There's no way you're going to leave me with the tasks of watching them both on my own!"

Piccolo: *Suddenly annoyed.* "Both of us will leave if you don't start the damn interview!" *Vegeta looks smug. Piccolo scowls at him.* "Wipe that smile off your face, you're no better than her!"

Vegeta: *Growls.* "Do not speak to me like I am some sort of child!"

Piccolo: "Maybe I will when you stop acting like one!" *Vegeta crosses his arms and glares at the floor.*

TeamNorthman: *Rolls her eyes.* "Whatever, let's just do this." *Looks down at note card and then up at Goten and Trunks, trying to look cheery.* "Okay you two. What do you like to do for fun?"

Goten: *Eyes light up.* "Oh we do all sorts of things, right Trunks?" *Looks up thoughtfully and puts a finger on his chin.* "Let's see…we eat, spar, play games, go on adventures…" *Trails off, trying to think of other things.*

Trunks: *Smiles mischievously and rubs hands together.* "Yeah, but playing tricks on people is the best." *Sniggers and turns towards Vegeta.* "Right dad?"

Vegeta: *Glares viciously at him.* "Don't test me boy. You should be spending your time doing things much more important things. If you spent as much time training as you do playing tricks on people-" *Grinds his teeth together.* "then maybe you'd last a little longer in a sparring match!"

Trunks: *Shrugs, unaffected.* "Yeah, but some people like to have fun dad." *Rolls his eyes as if his answer was obvious.* "And besides! Sparring is one of me and Goten's favorite thing to do!"

Goten: *Nods happily in agreement.* "Yep, it's way better than training with the older folks." *Crosses his legs in his chair, and puts on a bright smile.* "They're always saying stuff like 'Goten, stop playing around. The world is coming to an end. Goten, you have to be better, the world's fate depends on you. Goten, you have to do this right or everyone on Earth could die.' Seriously, I never thought the Earth was ever in that great of a danger. I mean, we're all alive, right?" *Shrugs and laughs.*

Vegeta: *Grumbles.* "Yeah, all thanks to me..."

Trunks: *Tilts head sideways, curiously glancing at the stage-control remote in TeamNorthman's back pocket.* "Hey, what's that?" *Points.*

TeamNorthman: *Turns and looks down at the remote.* "Oh, this?" *Points at remote and then pulls it out.* "This is the little device that controls everything on the stage. Almost like a master key." *Smiles brightly, feeling proud.*

Trunks: *Purses lips, looking thoughtful.* "Hmmm…" *Suddenly grabs remote out of TeamNorthman's hand.*

TeamNorthman: *Eyes get huge.* "Agh! Wait, Trunks be careful with that!"

Trunks: *Gazing over all the buttons.* "What's this one do?" *Points to a small blue button.*

TeamNorthman: *Glances over at the remote nervously.* "Um, that one drops our Anti-Ki shield. It protects the audience when we have, uh, wild guests."

Vegeta: *Looks up, remembering something.* "Oh, Bulma wanted me to tell you something about the shield."

TeamNorthman: *Turns around to look at him, and is suddenly worried by the evil smirk on his face.* "What?"

Vegeta: *Evil smile.* "She says that the last one received extensive damage, and so she decided to build you another one. But it is not yet complete."

TeamNorthman: *Flinches.* "And…when did she say it would be fixed?"

Vegeta: *Shrugs.* "I don't know, I guess I forgot." *Crosses arms and smirks at her.*

TeamNorthman: *Glares at him and growls.*

Goten: *Takes controller away from Trunks.* "Oh, what does this one do?" *Points to a black button with a red arrow on it.*

TeamNorthman: *Suddenly turns back around, remembering her situation.* "Oh, uh, that one raises the two interview chairs from under the stage." *Shoots a nervous glance at the remote.* "Now, if you could give that back before-"

Trunks: "And what about this?" *Points to a black button with a yellow shape on it.*

TeamNorthman: "Um, that one adjusts the lighting of the stage. Okay, can I have that back-"

Goten: "And this?" *Points at a button in the shape of an arrow.*

TeamNorthman: "That rotates the stage. Could you please-"

Trunks: "And this?" *Points to a black button with a white dot on it.*

TeamNorthman: *Getting frustrated.* "That one-" *Looks down at the remote, then tilts head to the side, looking confused.* "Huh?" *Slowly takes the remote out of Trunks's hands and examines the button closely.* "Well…I'm not sure…I don't think I've seen this button before." *Furrows eyebrows and turns to look at Vegeta.* "Did Bulma tell you anything about a new addition to my remote?"

Vegeta: *Shrugs.* "How the hell should I know?"

TeamNorthman: *Scowls at him and turns back to look at the remote.* "Hmmm…" *Holds remote up.* "Well, I guess it won't hurt if I try it out." *Looks down at Trunks and Goten.* "Should I do it?"

Trunks: *Nods head quickly.* "Yeah!"

Goten: "Yeah, press it!"

TeamNorthman: *Takes deep breath.* "Okay, here goes…" *Thinks 'Please don't make something blow up…' and presses the button.*

*The studio suddenly goes pitch black. Audience members gasp and begin whispering to eachother, worried.*

Piccolo: "Oh wonderful…"

TeamNorthman: "Gah!" *Trying to see in the dark, squinting at everything.* "Uh, um, no one panic. I'll have the lights back on in a moment!" *Holds remote right in front of her face, desperately trying to see which button was which.*

*There is a small noise, and something suddenly drops from a string hanging on the ceiling.*

Vegeta: "…what…was that?"

TeamNorthman: *Frustrated.* "Can't Saiyans see in the dark?!"

Vegeta: "We're fighters, not nocturnal owls!"

*All of a sudden, the studio is swiftly illuminated by silver, checkered lights that begin rotating around the room. Pop music begins playing loudly.*

TeamNorthman: *Rolls eyes and lets her face fall into one of her palms.* "Oh wow…" *Shakes head and sighs.*

Vegeta: *Eyes darting all around the room.* "What the hell's going on?"

Piccolo: "Seriously? Is there a point to this?"

Audience: *Some stand up and begin dancing, and others are laughing hysterically. Trunks and Goten have also made their way into the crowd and are joining them.*

Vegeta: *Looks at the audience members with a confused and disgusted look on his face.* "What on Earth are they doing?"

TeamNorthman: *Crosses arms and walks over to stand next to Vegeta and Piccolo.* "They're dancing. I don't know who the hell installed a damn disco ball in my studio, but whoever did it must have had a sense of humor." *Smirks.*

Vegeta: "So you're saying that that ball is the source of the lights, the music, and the horrible dancing?"

TeamNorthman: *Nods.* "Yep."

Vegeta: *Shakes head.* "Strange Earthling customs…*

Okay! So how was it? Hopefully it wasn't rushed. I was sort of worried about that. And also, passed chapters were slightly longer than this one, but I was afraid of dragging it on without anymore plans for it. I didn't want to end up boring.

So, I'm hoping that there are still people interested in this little story of mine. Thank you so, so much to those who have read and reviewed. You're the reasons I keep going :]
