Part 5



Son House, Goten's Room

"Give it back!" Goten yelled at the top of his lungs. 
"No! We had a deal!" 
"It wasn't my fault! I ACCIDENTALLY left it there and then that stupid Keunai broke it!"
"You left it there when it was your responsibility!" Gohan shouted back at him. 
"You boys are pushing my buttons!" Chichi yelled from the kitchen. Goten eyed Gohan. They both rolled their eyes but continued to fight.
"It's him!" and "We made a deal!" collided in the air. They had both planned on blaming each other. 
"Fine! Have the darn necklace!" Goten shouted at his older brother with all of his might. Gohan immediately felt sorry for him. You know the feeling. Goten slammed the door in his face 
"Goten . . ." Gohan started. 
"Shut up and go beg for Videl and Pan to come home!" He shouted at Gohan. Gohan and Videl were having a 'dry spell'. Basically, they had got in a fight and Videl took Pan and they went to California. Videl needed to cool down. Gohan was living back at home with his parents because at Gohan and Videl's house there was no food and Videl did the shopping; There was dust accumulating and Videl did the cleaning; There was no food to cook and if there was anyways, Videl did the cooking.
"YOU'RE BEGGING FOR IT GOTEN!" Gohan roared through the door. By this time Goten had opened a window and flown out. So, when Gohan broke the door down and there was no one inside, he knew he was in for a whippin'.  Chichi came up the stairs and started to holler at him and knew they'd been fighting over the necklace. She yanked the necklace from his hands and he went to his room. He was to old to be bossed around by his mother. He grabbed the keys to his car and his house and flew down to his car. He turned it on and left. When her got there, he dusted, made the beds and went shopping (if you call buying Lean Cuisine's and TV dinners shopping,) and crashed on the couch. 

Marron's House …

Marron sulked. Keunai had just broken one of her dad's new weights. He made up for it by getting her a load of jewelry. She didn't have enough room on her neck for him to break anything else. The phone rang so she got up and answered it. 
"Hello?"
"Hey!"
"Hey Bra."
"What's up?"
"Keunai broke one of my dad's new weights and flew off again."
"More jewelry?"
"I don't have much more room on my neck!" Bra giggled. 

Brief's House, Trunks' Room

Trunks was on the bed reading the newspaper and a severe pain came to his side.
"Arrrrrggghh!" He fell off the bed, grasping his side. Next door, Bra could hear the thud and raced into his room, the phone hanging between her ear and shoulder. 
"I'm going to call the doctor, Trunks. I've gotta go Mar, See you when I do! Bye!" She called nine one one. 
"This is nine one one, what is your emerge-"
"My brother's having these severe pains, and he's lying on the ground." 
"What's your name?"
"Bra and you shouldn't care!"
"It's okay Bra, we'll have medical service on the way to pick your brother up. They should be arriving soon."
"Arrrrrggghh!" Trunks was in so much pain. Bra was overjoyed her parents weren't home, but what about Trunks?
"Why aren't they here?" She shouted, glancing out the window for the ambulance.
"They should be there very briefly, Bra. Just stay calm."
"NO, I CAN'T STAY CALM! MY BROTHER IS IN A LOT OF PAIN! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?" She screamed.
"I see that . . . but I cannot do anything to-"
"YOU'RE SO RIGHT! YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING! I'M RIGHT ABOUT TO SUE THIS COMPANY! I'M NOT GONNA TAKE THIS BULL FROM YOU ANYMORE!"
"Please Bra, stay on the line-" But it was too late. Bra had hung up and there was nothing that stupid lady could do about it. Without warning the door burst open and the emergency crew was lifting Trunks out on a stretcher. All she had to do was hop in the ambulance and hold on tight. Bra grieved for him. He kept grasping his side and there was nothing Bra or anyone else could do. Bra remembered the time when he had had pains before, in the hallway. He was scheduled to have a surgery for those kidney stone whatyoumacallits. So, Bra waited. She waited and waited and waited and waited. Three hours had passed, and there was no word he was dead or alive. She remembered her parents hadn't been home at the time, and that was good, but those guys were still at her house trying to figure out if was a chemical reaction or whatever. She wanted to call her mother and Goten and Marron. She wanted them all to say, "He's going to be all right." She wanted them to comfort her in her time of struggling. Another hour went by unexpectedly. She called her mom's cell phone. It rang. 
"Hello?"
"Hey ma?"
"Yes?"
"When are you coming home?"
"In a little bit. Why?"
"No, stay out as long as you want. I bet your having lot's of fun!"
"Are you up to something? What did you break?"
"Break? Nothing, everything's fine here."
"You sure?"
"Yes. Oh, and by the way Trunks is spending the night at Gary's house. Love ya! Bye!"
"Who's Gary?" She asked, but Bra was quick and had hung up before she had given her mother a chance to ask questions. She had had such a short conversation with her mother that the machine gave her, her change back. So, she called Goten. It rang. 
"Hello?"
"Hi Gohan is Goten home?"
"Ya, what's up? He's in the shower so if it's an emergency I'll tell him you called." She sighed.
"Trunks is . . .in the hospital. He was having severe pains in his side. Tell him to be here as soon as possible. Thanks, bye!" She said again so he wouldn't ask questions.
"But . . ." Gohan knocked on the bathroom door.
"What? I'm not getting out unless it's an emergency, so leave!"
"Bra just called, and she had some bad news."
"Come on you don't expect me to believe that! Do you?"
"What would make you believe that I'm telling the truth?"
"That you would give my necklace back." Gohan didn't want to but it was an emergency and he couldn't fool around over something that happened over ten years ago. He flung the necklace under the door. Goten immediately got out of the shower, drying himself off and getting dressed. He put the necklace over his head and Gohan told him what Bra said. He flew out the window as he told Gohan to tell mom where he went. But, Gohan didn't listen and jumped right into the shower as quickly as he could. 'I'll do it later,' he told himself. Instead of taking a shower, he took a bath and put lots of suds in. He fell asleep in the massaging bath bubbles and had forgotten all about Goten.
