Night of the Babysitter 6

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Android #18 and Bulma stood over a workbench. "No, I'm not sure, but according to these blueprints, it should." Bulma answered. "Will he have his memory?" 18 asked. "Probably, everything up till he was absorbed." Bulma told her. Bulma fixed a few circuits and put together some tubing. "There, I really hope his personality is still good. Prop him up over there while I get the controller." the blue-haired genius said to 18. Android #18 proped the rebuilt version of Android #17 up against the wall.

Bulma and 18 faced 17. He looked exactly the same as the original one Dr.Gero had created. Black hair, red bandana, green socks..."Here goes nothing..." Bulma pressed the blue button of the controller. Android #17 opened his eyes, skyblue, exactly as there were on the original. "Seventeen?" The android looked at 18, "What happened? Wasn't I absorbed by Cell?" he asked his cyborg sister. "Yes!" Bulma and 18 high-fived. 17 looked confused, "Will someone tell me what's going on?"

Bulma turned to him, "Your original self was absorbed by Cell, who then proceeded to absorb 18, which he succeed in doing, thanks to Vegeta...then later, Gohan punched Cell really hard in the stomach, causing him to uh...barf 18 out....Gohan later defeated Cell. I used your original blueprints to rebuild you. I am a genius!"

Android #17 blinked, "So,...wait...weren't we going to kill Goku, 18? Where's 16?" "Well..." 18 began, "16 was killed by Cell, and....he was originally the reason we were after Goku...and besides, Goku did try to save us...." The android sighed, "Alright then...so we became allies with Goku and his friends...what now?" Bulma laughed, "Now you get to baby-sit the kids while we shop for their Christmas presents." "What? What kids? How many years have passed?" the newly built android stared in surprise. 18 smiled, "Quite a few." "Ok then...what kids?" 17 did not like the idea of being brought back to life to baby-sit.

"My daughter, Bulma's son and daughter, Goku's second son, and Gohan's daughter." 18 answered. "-Your- daughter??? You have a daughter?" 17 almost choked. "Shall we introduce him to his babysitees?" Bulma suggested laughing. "Yeah." "Trunks! Bra! Goten! Pan! Marron! Come meet your new baby-sitter!" Bulma called from the laboratory-like room. The five little monsters bounced into the room, "Who's it this time, mom?" Trunks asked. "Android #17, 18's brother." Bulma smiled. "Mommy's brother???" Marron asked. 18 smiled, "Yep." 17 stared at the crowd of kids around him, "I cannot believe you brought me back to baby-sit your kids." he muttered to 18.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I still can't believe you married the bald guy, 18." 17 said as his sister and the others were about to leave. "Put a sock in it, 17." 18 grabbed her purse and closed the door behind her. "I mean, I thought that kiss was just to confuse him...and..." Android #17 was muttering to himself. "Uncle Seventeeeeeeeeeen!" Marron ran out of the hallway, chased by Trunks and Goten with water guns. "What?" Marron ran pass the android and into the kitchen. "Goody-goody!" the two demi-sayjians flew a few inches off the ground following the blonde girl. 17 sighed, he was to spend all evening with the brats, as Vegeta put it.

Marron went into Bra's room, where Bra and Pan were discussing something. Trunks and Goten burst into the room. "C'mon Marron, you -have- to help us torture the baby-sitter!" Goten told her. "Why? It's not nice!" Marron whined. "It's our reputation!!!" Trunks snapped. "You get candy." Pan offered helpfully. "Yeah, lotsa candy." agreed Bra. "Well......" Marron considered this. Trunks pulled his huge safe of candy from under Bra's bed and opened it. There was every kind of candy on the face of the Earth. Gummy worms, lollipops, chocolate, candy salt..."You can't be a goody-goody forever!" Goten said. "All right, but nothing too bad ok?" Marron agreed reluctantly. "Whatever." Trunks's eyes sparkled.

Bra, Pan and Marron dragged Android #17 into the kitchen, "You hafta make us dinner!" Bra chirped cutely. "Why do you need to eat?" mumbled 17. "Cuz we hungry?" Pan offered. "Fine, fine, anything to stop you from making those cute faces!" the android grabbed a few dozen instant dinners from the freezer and stuffed them in the microwave. Bra and Pan were staring at their baby-sitter with huge, curious, -adorable- eyes. 17 glared at them out of the corner of his eyes, "Will you stop doing that???" he demanded. "Doing what?" the two demi-sayjians asked in unison. Marron was trying to think of a way to annoy her baby-sitter/uncle, but couldn't.

"We can pull the Gotenks! Yeaaaahhh!" Goten cheered. "Yeah! This will be so much fun! Hahaha! We haven't done the Gotenks trick since Yajirobe came to baby-sit us!" Trunks exclaimed. "Hai! That's was...four baby-sitters ago!" Goten agreed. "Ok, so, the works?" the black-haired demi-sayjian asked. Trunks grinned, "The works, plus a little something extra." The two friends laughed out loud, thinking of the things they would do the Android #17.

"Dinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnner!!!" Pan cried, she was gasping by the time she finished the word. Trunks and Goten jumped off the roof and entered the living room. (Trunks's room is still out of commission =P) "So, Uncle Goten, what we gonna do?" Pan asked when they landed. Goten felt weird being called 'uncle' by Pan, but it was true. Goten laughed, "The works and......" he whispered their special surprise for 17 into Pan's ear. The demi-sayjian giggled and bounced off to help Bra and Marron set the table. Marron loved to set the table.

17 watched as Trunks, Goten, Bra, and Pan devoured the poor microwave dinners. Marron ate slowly, careful not to get food everywhere. The android decided that food must not be that bad if the four demi-sayjians liked it so much, so he ate some......After realizing there were live spiders crawling around in his food, 17 left the table abruptly, to spit the fidgeting spiders from his mouth. Trunks, Goten, Bra, and Pan laughed, Marron scolded.

After the dinner, the girls forced 17 to play Mario Party 2 with them, while Trunks and Goten set their traps. Android #17 lost miserably to the three 4-year olds, "Let's do something else." he suggested. Bra looked at Pan. "Ok, Pan, we're done." a voice in the tiny ear-piece Pan was wearing said. Gohan's daughter nodded to Bra. "Hide n' seek!" the blue-haired demi-sayjian said. 17 looked pale, hide n' seek with a bunch of 4-year olds...cannot be good, he thought to himself. "Uh...how about something else...?" the android asked. "Nope, yer It!" Bra squealed as she and dashed off. "Count to 100." Marron instructed her uncle, then bounced off after Bra and Pan.

Android #17 blinked, then started counting; "Onetwothreefourfivesixseveneightnineten..." Marron entered the attic where Bra and Pan were setting the controlls for the Sound Affects System, or SAS. "Do we have to do this?" Marron asked. "Of course! Where's your sense of adventure?" Pan laughed as she finished her half of the dials. The blonde sat down on a chair, watching the two part-sayjians. "Ninetyeightninetynineonehundred, here goes nothing..." 17 headed downstairs and began looking for his babysitees.

"All set?" Goten asked Trunks, they were looking through the skylight in the dining room from the roof. "Yeah, everything's in place. Where's the remote for the power?" The purple-haired demi-sayjian turned to his friend. "Here," Goten replied holding a small controller, "And here's the blue paint." he pushed a canister of gooey blue paint onto the roof. "Great, now...there he is! Get the paint ready." Trunks spotted the android looking under the table and chairs. Goten pushed the can of paint over the open skylight. SPLOOOOOOOOSHH! "SHIT!!!!" 17 was drenched in blue paint. His hair was blue, the top half of his shirt was blue, the tile was blue. The android looked up, Trunks and Goten ducked out of view just in time.

"Bra, Pan, Marron, phase 1." Goten hissed into the walkie-talkie. Trunks and Goten flew to the other side of the house. 17 flew up through the skylight, but they were already gone. "Stupid kids. How did I get stuck doing this?" he muttered to himself. In the attic, Bra and Pan pressed a series of buttons. A strange shrieking sound was heard in the bathroom. The recording was from an old movie with dragons and knights. The shriek was the dragon, the sound was deafening. "What the...?" 17's hands flew to his ears. The dragon's screams grew louder. "HHHHRRREEEEEAAAAAAAKKKKK!!!" The android went towards the bathroom, the door was locked. 17 placed his hands on the doorknob, "OOWWW!!" the doorknob was burning hot.

"This isn't nice..." Marron muttered. "He's listening to a recording of a dragon and burning his finger!! It's not like we've really tortured him!!....Yet." Bra told her. Marron pouted. "Stupid whatever's in there! Come out now!" the android screamed at the door, knowing that if he blew it up, he'd get in trouble. "HHHREEEEAAAAKKKKKKKK!!!" The green android jumped back at the sudden shrieking. "HRRROOOORRRRR!!" "Maybe,...I'll just leave you in there...." Android #17 left the bathroom area and continued his search for his babysitees.

The android entered Bra's room, immediately, steel cords were wrapped around his feet. Trunks and Goten jumped from the closet and tied 17 up before he could blink. "What are you doing!?" Trunks laughed, "Whaddaya think we're doin', partner?" The demi-sayjians brought him into the kitchen and heaved him onto the stove. "HEY! HEY! You wouldn't!" Trunks and Goten bounced off without replying. "You stupid brats! Untie me NOW!" Android #17 yelled. They didn't come back. Suddenly, the lights went out. And all was dark....and silent....except for the shrieking that still came from the bathroom.

"ARRGGGG!" the android rolled onto the floor, and off the stove. (Which was never on.) Suddenly there was little beams of light everywhere. All different colors. Red, blue, green, purple. 17 broke the steel cords and stood up. "What the hell is going on?" the blue android muttered. "I THINK I DID IT AGAIN, I MADE YOU BELIEVE, WE'RE MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS!" a speaker somewhere boomed. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!! NO! NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! TIE ME UP AND BLAST ME TO DEATH!" Android #17's scream almost blocked out the music. But, unfortunately, it didn't. A hologram of Britney Spears appeared in the living room, singing her song. "OPPS, I DID IT AGAIN, I PLAYED WITH YOUR HEART! GOT LOST IN THE GAME, OH BABY BABY!"

Bra and Pan laughed from their station upstairs. Marron couldn't help but laugh, it was funny watching 17 scream. Trunks's voice sounded on the walkie-talkie, "We're gonna fuse now, finish playing the song, then do the ghost music." Pan smirked, "Sure." Outside, Trunks and Goten began their fusion dance. They touched their fingers together and were shroud in a bright light. When the light disappeared, Gotenks stood where Trunks and Goten had been. Gotenks turned super sayjian level 3, grinning to himself.

"OPPS, YOU THINK I'M IN LOVE, THAT I'M SENT FROM ABOOOVE, I'M NOT THAT INNOCENT!" the room fell silent and the hologram of the infamous pop singer vanished. "Praise the lord! I'm freeeeeeee! Thank you!" Android #17 was on his knees with happiness. As soon as the song stopped, an errie music began. It was haunting and slow.....There was a knocking on the door. The blue painted android went to answer it. Gotenks stood at the door. "Who are you?" 17 asked, confused. Who was this sayjian?

Gotenks laughed, "I am Perfect Sayjian Cell, version two point oh." The android stepped back in surprise, "Cell?" The long-haired sayjian smirked, "But of course." Android #17 clenched his fists, "I thought Gohan destroyed you." he growled. Gotenks laughed, "Don't believe everything you hear. I regenerated from a tiny brain cell. I have absorbed two pesky sayjian children named Trunks and Goten to reach this superior form." (Ignore any mistake I made there about regeneration, and work with me here.)17 gasped, Trunks and Goten? Goku and Vegeta are going to be very angry...."Now if you don't mind me asking android, how did you come back to life?" Gotenks demanded.

"That's none of your business." the android hissed. "I see, then I'll just have to make it my business." Gotenks smirked. 17 flinched, he was no match for Cell before he absorbed anyone. Gotenks looked like he about to punch the android, but instead started to sing, very badly, "Opps! I did it again, I played with yer heart, got lost in the game..." Android #17 stared. Then blinked. Then sweatdropped. Gotenks stopped, "Drat, I need to practice that..." he said to himself, then turned back to 17, "Uh...you were just lucky this time android, I uh....forgot to turn off the sink at home...bye!" the Gotenks flew off, leaving 17 to wonder.

The android closed the door slowly....he turned around and almost had a heart attack because Pan, Bra and Marron were right in front of him grinning their cute little faces off and the lights were back to normal. "Where's Trunks and Goten?" 17 asked. "I dunno." Pan and Bra chirped together. "Well....I--" Bra jabbed Marron in the side. "I dunno." finished Marron. 17's eyes darted from Marron to Bra, to Pan, suspicious. "What do you want?" the android asked the three girls. "DRESS UP!" Bra and Pan squealed. Marron grinned. 17 sweatdropped. "You want me to...."

A few minutes later.....Android #17 had on a huge bib, a little baby bonnet, and a huge towel that was supposed to be a diaper. A pacifier was taped to his mouth. "MPPPPFFFF!!!" Bra, Pan and Marron giggled. Trunks and Goten entered the room a few minutes later with cameras. "MMffppp?? PPhhhffffttt!! Mmmmfftttsssppttt!! Aggfffttttt!" the android 'said'. The two demi-sayjians laughed, 17 looked almost as bad as Piccolo did when Bra and Pan dressed him up. FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! The cameras clicked. "MMMBBBFFFTTTT!!!" 17 struggled with his hands, which Pan held back with her killer grip.

The 'baby' android was brought downstairs, where he was forced to eat baby food...worm favored baby food...17 was on his 5th mouthful when the door opened. Trunks, Goten, Bra, and Pan flew out of there before Bulma and the others came in. Marron, who wasn't used to causing mischief, was left holding the spoon full of food. "I bet you that they have done something to Seventeen....I--" Bulma stared at Marron and 17. "Mbbbffftttt!!" 17 tried to say. "Oh my...Seventeen?" 18's surprise turned to laughter faster than you could say 'baby'.

"MMPPPHHHH!!" the pacifier popped out of the android's mouth. "I'm never baby-sitting those ^&#@*$! brats again! Never! HAHAHA! NEVER! You cannot make meeeee!!!" "Seventeen, calm down....take a deep breath...that's it.." Bulma instructed the android. 17 crackled insanely, "Never again! Evil monsters!" "Marron, how could you?" Krillin stared at her daughter, who was still holding the spoon. "I uh.....THEY MADE ME DO IT!" the blonde cried. "Trunks! Bra! Get down here now so I can tell you to go to bed." Bulma called. "Goten!" "Pan!" Gohan called to his daughter and brother.

The four demi-sayjians came downstairs. "Grounded for a week right?" Trunks asked his mother. Bulma sighed, "Two weeks! And no video games!" "Bummer." Trunks flew back upstairs. Bra followed him. "Extra studying, no going outside, no training with Gohan or Trunks, yeah yeah, I know." Goten followed Chi Chi and Goku outside. Pan stared at Gohan with the HUGEST eyes in the history of cuteness. Gohan handed the part-sayjian to Videl, "You punish her." he said. Videl handed her back, avoiding Pan's eyes, "No, you do it." "You!" "YOU!" "Oh forget it." grumbled Gohan setting Pan on the ground.

Krillin and 18 glared at Marron. Marron glared back. "I'll just ground myself for a week, ok? Ok." Marron exited the house. Krillin blinked, "Ok. I wasn't gonna punish you...but ok.." Android #17 had stopped screaming. Android #18 dragged him out of the house and into a small trailer they had prepared for him, then left with Krillin and Marron.

Bulma went to the bathroom. The door was locked. "Ouch!" The doorknob was hot. She unlocked the door with a key. There was a flame-thrower aimed at the doorknob on the other side of the door. The doorknob was melted goo. "TRUNNNKKKKSSSS!" She stomped upstairs. "Eeepppp!" Bra dived under the covers. Trunks flew out the window. Bulma climbed onto the roof, "YOU CAN'T STAY OUT THERE ALL NIGHT!!!" Trunks hovered above a tree, then landed in it. "Yes I can!" And he did. Poor Trunks.
