Kids Listen So Well

I do not own DBZ/SM

After they left the crowd became rowdy while the tournament officials were pondering what to do. Mighty Mask stood on the roof and watched the crowd. Serena crept up behind them. "Hey," she said. "I thought you weren't talking to me," Trunks said. "Would you prefer that because I can leave," she snapped back. "No, sorry," Trunks said quickly. "Listen, our Dads, Piccolo, Krillin, Shin, Kibito, Videl, and Gohan went to fight this wizard," Serena told them. "Whoa, really?" Goten asked. "Yep, you guys ready to quit this charade and go after them?" Serena asked. "Why would you want to go you don't like fighting?" Goten asked. "Probably they told her she couldn't go with them. Right, Serena?" Trunks said playfully. "Maybe," Serena said not looking at them.

Just then the announcer guy announced that the remaining fighters would all fight one another at once for the position of the world champion. "This is our big chance!" Trunks said, "We'll go after them after we win Serena." "You two are hopeless," she sighed. "No we're just hungry," Goten said. Serena and Trunks both rolled their eyes at him. "Well there's a buffet over there," Serena gestured. "Let's go!" both boys shouted happily. "First," Serena said, "Get out of that thing." Goten and Trunks obeyed and the three children walked to the buffet. After the boys finished eating Goten asked Trunks who was going to pay. "I don't have any money," Trunks said. "Neither do I," Goten said. Both boys looked at Serena who said, "My purse is in the waiting area." The three started to creep away through the kitchen, but one of the waiters saw them and yelled at them. "Run for it!" Trunks yelled and all three took off. Suddenly they ran into Goten and Serena's grandfather. Behind him were their mothers who immediately started scolding them. The three children ran off top speed as the waiters perused them outside leaving their mothers to deal with them. Serena went back to the waiting room while Goten and Trunks took a detour to change back into Mighty Mask.

"Where were you?" 18 asked Serena as she re-entered the waiting room. "I was with Trunks and Goten," Serena replied. "None of you are leaving and going after them," 18 responded. "Barbie, relax. They don't want to go. You see they found the buffet," Serena told her. 18 smiled as Serena called her Barbie. She had given Serena special permission to call her that. Serena loved it. She thought it suited her so well. Serena couldn't understand why she didn't let anyone else call her Barbie though. The announcer guy then began announcing the names of the remaining fighters. Trunks locked eyes with Serena as Mighty Mask's name was called. Good luck. Serena thought to him. Thanks. He thought back. After all the fighters were in the ring the battle began. 18 knocked a long haired blond guy out of the ring, and Mighty Mask knocked a big guy out of the ring. Now only Might Mask, 18, and Mr. Satan were left. 18 and Mighty Mask ignored Mr. Satan and began to attack each other. 18 knocked Mighty Mask into the ground causing them to make a big crater in it, but they got up and continued fighting 18. Trunks and Goten then decided to go super saiyan to defeat 18. At that moment she knew who they were. She sent an energy ball in the shape of a disk at them tearing the costume in half and leaving them exposed. The two boys started fighting with each other over whose fault it was that they were discovered until the announcer guy said that they were disqualified. "Uh-oh I think we're in trouble," Goten said, "Should we go?" "Yeah," Trunks said. "AHEM!" Serena called loudly from the side of the ring where she had run to. After they went super saiyan she knew it was only a matter of time until they were caught. Trunks swooped down and she jumped on his back and the three children flew off.

They reached the outskirts of the city and saw Videl coming toward them. "Hey what's up? Did they finish already?" Serena asked her. "No I couldn't keep up so I came back," Videl told them. "So they didn't defeat the wizard?" Serena asked. "I don't think so. Otherwise they would probably be back," Videl told her. Trunks and Goten got really goofy looks on their faces. "Serena this is what you were telling us about right?" Trunks asked. She nodded cautiously. "Then if they're not back yet we get to go and save the world!" both boys yelled simultaneously. "They went that way right?" Goten asked while pointing. "You boys are not going, hey come back!" Videl yelled, but Goten and Trunks, with Serena on his back, flew off after the adults as they turned super saiyan.

"We get to see the wizard! We get to see the wizard!" Goten and Trunks chanted over and over. "Hey Trunks," Goten asked, "What's a wizard." Trunks stopped dead in his tracks. "Goten you're stupid. You got all excided and you don't even know what a wizard is," Trunks said. "But you know so you can tell me right?" Goten said. "Yes Trunks," Serena said, "Enlighten us both since you always claim you're smarter than us." "Well, you see," he began, "Um, wizard rhymes with lizard, so you see a wizard is a really big lizard turned into a man." "Are you sure about that?" Serena questioned him. "Yes!" Trunks snapped, "Now let's go before we miss everything." And the three took off again.

They were flying some more, but Goten was flying slower and slower than Trunks and Serena. Serena realized this and turned over her shoulder and called to Goten, "Goten what's wrong?" "I have to go to the bathroom," Goten said squirming. "We're gonna miss the boo monster because of you," Trunks said, "Fine go down to that island and take care of your business." Goten did as he was told and Trunks followed. "Where are you going?" Serena asked nervously. "Down there," Trunks responded casually. He landed beside Goten and both of them starting doing their business. "You're disgusting!" Serena shrieked as she turned around and put her hands over her eyes. Goten and Trunks paid no attention to her. "Look," Trunks said, "I can spell my name!" "Me to!" Goten said. Suddenly Serena screamed. "Now what," Trunks said turning around. He saw what Serena had seen; a big dinosaur looking at them. He grabbed Serena and then he and Goten flew away from the island as fast as they could.

They flew farther on. "Hey do guys feel that energy?" Trunks asked. "Who do you think it is?" Goten asked. "It might be our dad. Or maybe your dad, Trunks," Serena said. "I wanna watch our dad first," Goten stated. "It doesn't matter. We won't see anything at this rate. Let's hurry up," Trunks said and he and Goten flew faster. They went a little farther when Goten yelled, "Hold up Trunks. Wait a sec." "What is it now Goten?" Trunks asked. "Something over there feels really weird," he said, "Do you think that that's where the grown ups are at?" "Maybe, but I still feel a big energy up ahead of us," Trunks said. A big flock of birds then came flying at them. "Whoa birdies!" Goten said happily. "But why are there so many?" Serena asked. "I bet they're coming from some kind of trouble, "Trunks said, "Let's go in the direction that they came from." They agreed and took off again. After a while they stopped again. "Serena did you feel that?" Trunks asked. "Unfortunately," Serena stammered. "It feels like it went straight to my belly," Goten commented. "Do you think that's what evil feels like?" Serena asked. "Yeah," Trunks said. "Now which way do we go?" Goten asked. "Well that way feels more scary, so it's probably more fun," Trunks said and the two boys began to race each other there. Finally the children made it to the area with the monsters.

They landed and Trunks said, "Hey Goten, let's rest from being super saiyans and find them like we're secret agents." "Yeah!" Goten agreed. "I am not getting my cloths dirty," Serena stated. "Then get on my back," Trunks told her. Goten and Trunks got on their hands and knees and Serena laid herself flat on Trunks' back. They boys then began to start scaling the cliffs and edging toward the monsters. "I don't understand this," Trunks said, "If the bad guys are all over here then where did everybody else go?" "I don't know," Goten said. "Hey what's that over there?" Serena asked and pointed to something on a cliff. "Let's go see," Trunks said and they climbed up the cliff. They walked up to what appeared to be a statue of Piccolo. "Whoever did this was really good," Trunks said touching it. "Yeah," Goten agreed and starting touching the statue as well, "They even got his cape. Look there's one of Krillin too." "Maybe you guys shouldn't touch it," Serena said. "Serena you worry too much," Trunks said and leaned against the statue causing it to fall over. The statue shattered into pieces. "Trunks that looked expensive!" Goten said. "Do you think they heard us?" Trunks asked looking at the bad guys below them. "I don't think so," Serena told him. "Good I thought I was going to get into trouble," Trunks said. "But you still broke it," Goten said. Their attention was then drawn to the bad guys arguing. They saw a big pink blob turn a big red guy into a cookie and eat him. "That was a little weird," Serena stammered. "You think?" Trunks stammered as well. "I…I don't believe it. He…he ate him," Goten said. "Krillin?" Serena asked. "What the statue?" Trunks asked. "No look," Serena said. The statue of Krillin slowly became colourful and alive. "Hey what are you three doing here?" Krillin asked. The three children went down to him. "What happened? I don't remember a thing," Krillin said. "Somebody turned you into a stone statue," Trunks told him. "That's right it was that guy's spit that did that to me," Krillin said. "He must mean the guy who just got eaten," Goten said. "Well duh, when he got turned into a cookie his power must of worn off and," Trunks stopped talking and thought about what had happened to the Piccolo statue. "What's wrong?" Krillin asked. "He broke the Piccolo statue," Goten said. "Please let's keep this a secret. Okay?" Trunks said. "Keep what a secret?" a voice from behind them said. They turned around to see Piccolo. "Hey Piccolo, how did you get back to normal?" Trunks asked. "I can regenerate as long as my head isn't damaged," Piccolo said, "Where are Goku and the others?" "We don't know we just got here," Serena explained.

They watched as the boo monster was about to turn the supreme kai into a snack when Bibbity's space ship was blown up. When the smoke cleared they saw Vegeta. Vegeta started fighting Majin Buu. "My dad is awesome!" Trunks cheered. "Yeah but that buu monster isn't really impressed," Serena commented. Vegeta attacked the monster and Trunks cheered more. Majin Buu then sent a very powerful energy blast at Vegeta and the intensity of the blast crumbled the cliff they were on. Serena grabbed onto Trunks and they were both sent into the rubble along with everyone else. Serena landed on the ground and Trunks on top of her making the position very awkward for them. Trunks blushed and pushed the rock that was on top of them off of them. "Where's Goten?" Serena said and began to go through the rubble frantically. A lizard rose into her face causing her to scream. Goten followed laughing and Trunks joined in but stopped when Serena gave him a dirty look. They were amazed to see Vegeta stand again after the attack. The buu monster then spit a pink goop around Vegeta trapping his arms and letting the monster attack him. Trunks was horrified and turned super saiyan. Serena jumped on his back just before he took off to help his dad. Goten followed them both.

Trunks knocked Majin Buu away from Vegeta and he and Goten unwrapped Vegeta from the pink goop. Serena knelt by his head and placed his head on her lap. Trunks walked up to his father and shook him. "Dad, wake up. Please wake up," Trunks pleaded. "Is he alive?" Goten asked quietly. "Of course he is!" Serena snapped with tears in her eyes. "My mom told me that my dad was once the prince of all the Saiyans. He's a prince and princes don't die because of stupid monsters!" Trunks added with tears in his own eyes. Vegeta slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "Trunks my son. Serena." Trunks helped him to sit up and Vegeta then pushed him away. "Where is Majin Buu!" Vegeta yelled looking around and saw the tears in the children's eyes. "Trunks listen to me," Vegeta said, "You need to take good care of your mother and Serena. You must always protect Serena." "Why?" Trunks questioned. "Trunks you are my only son yet I have not held you once since you were a baby. Come here," Vegeta said and hugged Trunks. "Dad this is embarrassing," Trunks said. "Trunks you've made me proud," Vegeta said. Trunks looked up at him and Vegeta hit Trunks in the neck causing him to fall. Serena caught him and Goten ran up to Vegeta and started patronizing him for hitting Trunks. Vegeta then hit Goten in the stomach causing him to black out as well. He then looked at Serena who slowly stood placing Trunks on the ground. She took one of Vegeta's hands and held it to her face. "Thank you," she said to him and curtsied to him. Vegeta smiled at the little princess he had grown so fond of. He learned a long time ago that she had an intuition to know when bad things were happening. She backed away and returned to Trunks side. Piccolo then came over by them and picked up Trunks and Goten. Serena clung to the cape on his back as he took her to Krillin. Krillin then took Trunks under one arm and Goten under the other and Serena on his back. They flew off toward Kami's look out and on the way Serena fell asleep.
