Me: So. Bloody. HOT! 3 or 4 days where the temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius. Ugh stupid Australian weather! More specifically Melbourne. I feel sorry for everyone that's at the Australian Open. Must be bloody hot in there considering people have collapsed from dehydration and what not. Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and New Years and thanks for those of you that reviewed, followed and stuff.
Vegeta: Get on with it already!
Me: Shut up Veggie! I can't sleep because my room is 31 degrees! Yeesh. Anyway, I've been stuck on what to write since I have had very few ideas. But I came up with something now, didn't I?

A few minutes had passed and there were no signs of anyone gaining consciousness anytime soon. This prompted the remaining group to plan out what they would tell everyone, most importantly Chichi, who had her head resting gently on her husband's leg.
"You know, no matter what we tell mum, you two are gonna be in so much trouble," Gohan pointed out to the two children.
"All we wanted to do was help and be as strong as you big brother," Goten said, looking at the ground as he kicked at the dirt.
"We know that squirt, but you have to remember that mum worries about our wellbeing. After all the things that dad and I have been through, I can't blame her," Gohan replied softly.
"Though I don't think bringing back the head was the best idea," Videl added with a light-hearted chuckle.
Both kids looked to their feet in embarrassment, as the others laughed.
"Come to think of it, Videl, you didn't seem that freaked out by the whole thing. Why is that?" Goku asked curiously.
Blushing slightly, Videl replied, "I guess it had something to do with the fact that I had just seen Gohan fight Cell. And kill him no less. The head of an android just seemed to be less in comparison. Also the fact that I help out with crime fighting could contribute to the reason I didn't freak out. The things some people do." She shuddered at the last part.
"Wait a minute. Why am I still here? I can just leave!" Trunks exclaimed happily.
As he was about to take off Goten grabbed his shoulder, turning him around. "Don't leave me here on my own, Trunks. Why should I be the only one being punished by my mum?" the mini Goku pouted.
"Well I'm sure that your mum will tell my mum what happened. So if I stay here I would get in trouble with your mum, and then get into even more trouble with my mum. That's why I'm going home now, Goten," without waiting for a response, Trunks blasted off into the air, in the direction of West City.
Goten watched his friend disappear in the distance with a sad look in his eyes. At this moment Chichi began to stir with a groan, turning everyone's attention towards her. Her eyes fluttered open and she took in the concerned face of her husband.
"What happened?" the Son matriarch asked groggily.
"You fainted," Goku replied simply.
Everything began to come back to her, her youngest son and his friend appearing with the head of an android, pride every present on their faces, whilst a group of human teenagers looked on in horror. She jumped up with a scowl present on her face, scanning around for the two children. Spotting her youngest hiding behind his older brother, she marched over, fully intent on punishing her baby.
Gohan saw the look on his mother's face and knew not to get in her way, else he end up in the cross fire. He stepped aside to allow his mother access to his little brother, much to the youngster's dismay.
"SON GOTEN! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU BROUGHT THAT THING HERE?!" the furious mother exclaimed, making her son cower in fear.
"W-we didn't notice the people mummy. T-trunks said t-that if w-we showed daddy what we did h-he'd be proud at h-how strong we are," Goten stuttered.
This brought Chichi's attention to Trunks presence, or lack thereof. "Where is that little hell raiser that has been corrupting my baby?" Chichi cried.
"He left for home, mum. He said he wanted to avoid being punished twice," Gohan informed his mother.
"If he thinks he's escaped from me, he is sadly mistaken. As for you Son Goten, you will be grounded once we get to your grandfathers and you will be given human sized meals for the next few days," as she said this, a look of horror covered the seven year olds face. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a phone call to make."
Everyone watched as Chichi made her way into the small dome house, waiting until she was out of ear shot before daring to utter a single word.
"Well that was pretty harsh punishment. I don't know how I'd fair if I only had human portions of food for one day," Goku wondered aloud.
"Dad, you'd just go out and catch yourself something," Gohan pointed out.
Goku laughed and scratched the back of his head, saying, "I guess you're right."
Whilst the group laughed at Goku's carefree nature, the students around them began to awaken, looking around in slight confusion. Videl was the first one to notice that the teens were coming around and a devious smirk came to her face. Turning to the groggy group she yelled, "GOOD MORNING FAGGOTS!" earning groans from many of the sleepy teens.
Many of the students began to discuss about the strange dreams they had, all of which ended the same way, two small children holding the head of a strange looking man. Thinking himself the tough guy, Matt decided to ask what was going on.
"Why the hell have all of us had similar strange dreams, all of which ending in the same way?" he demanded.
"Well from what I've been hearing of the dreams, I'd say you guys must have all somehow eaten those strange mushrooms that grow around here. You fall unconscious not long after you eat them and they make you have strange dreams," Goku announced thoughtfully, his hand placed under his chin.
"Then why don't we remember eating anything like that?" Erasa asked curiously.
"That's because of a strange after effect of them. They make you forget you even ate them in the first place," Goku shrugged.
"Didn't you guys ever learn that it's dangerous to eat things you don't know anything about? Now you know…NOT TO EAT STRANGE MUSHROOMS!" Gohan laughed.
The group of teens looked on in confusion as the group of four laughed.
"What's so funny?! If these so called mushrooms make you forget about ingesting them, how is it that you know about them?" Matt asked furiously.
"Isn't it obvious?" Videl questioned before laughing again, leaving Gohan to finish the explanation.
"Dad accidently ate some before and when he woke up, he told us about a strange dream and he didn't remember eating the mushrooms. And since Videl was with me, I made sure she knew about the mushrooms."
Chichi took this time to come out of the house. She was slightly surprised at what she saw before her. Her family was laughing about something unknown and the group of now conscious teens were staring at them incredulously. Clearing her throat to gain everyone's attention and encouraging the laughing group to calm down, she her announcement.
"Now that everyone is awake, I think it would be best if we head off to our new destination. So if you're done laughing, Goku," she gave a stern look to her husband, "mind getting us there in style?"
Wiping the tears from his eyes, the full blooded Saiyan asked for everyone to link arms as they had when leaving Satan manor. In the blink of an eye, they were standing out the front of an impressive looking castle. Not wasting any time, the mother of two called for everyone to follow her into the castle, which they did numbly.
Walking through the grand double doors, the class stared in awe. Sure they had been to the home of the World Champion, but this was something else. This seemed to be the home of royalty. Whilst the Satan manor had elaborate paintings and looked quite modern, this place had high ceilings which was supported by large marble pillars and upheld the look you would expect of someone with nobility. While most expected the room to be fairly dark, it was quite the opposite. Large windows lined the cream coloured walls. Ahead of the group was an elegant marble staircase, leading to the upper floors. On top of those stairs was none other than the Ox King himself, beaming down at the stunned students.
"Grandpa!" Goten called, launching himself into the man's embrace.
"Hello Goten. What are you doing here?" the Ox King asked the youngest Son.
"Mummy asked daddy to bring everyone here," Goten answered happily.
Smiling at his family, the Ox King descended the stairs and embraced the remaining members of the Son family together. A few moments later, he released his hold on them and smiled warmly. Turning to the shocked faces of the teenagers, he opened his arms in greeting.
"I'd like to welcome you all to the Ox kingdom. Even though your visit is unexpected I welcome you all with open arms."
Snapping out of their daze by the large man's voice, the students turned to Gohan and exclaimed, "YOU'RE A PRINCE?!"
Gohan began to sweat at seeing the adoring looks on the girls faces and the jealousy on the males. This was not going to be fun.
A/N: Thankfully there has been a cool change and the weather will be nice and comfortable. YAY. Please review what you want me to add. I do have a few ideas of what to do but probably not enough to get through the rest of their trip. So please review some ideas.
