Night Of The Babysitter

"Are you -sure- you can do this Goku?" Chi Chi asks her husband. "Don't worry Chi Chi, I can handle it!" the Saiyan replies, smiling. Bulma, Videl, 18 (Does she get a name in the US version?) and Chi Chi were dragging Vegeta, Gohan and Krillin to the mall. Goku managed to get out of it by volunteering to baby-sit. Unfortunately for him, they'd be gone the whole day, and he'd be stuck with the monsters...ahem...kids the whole day. "All right then, out cell phone numbers are on the fridge." "Can we get this over with?" Vegeta snapped. "Quit your complaining, Vegeta, we're going." Bulma shot back as she and Chi Chi headed out the door. "Don't do anything you'll regret, -Trunks-" Bulma waved and closed the door behind her.

Goku turned to his babysitees. Trunks and Goten had disappeared. Goku looked puzzled, "Where are Trunks and Goten?" Bra and Pan stared up at the saiyan, and said different things at the same time; "Outside." "Potty." Again, Goku looked puzzled. "Well, you two can go play I guess, I start making lunch..." "We'll help!!" the girls chirped instantly. Goku smiled, "Ok." The three of them entered the kitchen.

Trunks and Goten sat on the roof. Trunks's room had been...uh....shall we say...blown apart in a training 'accident'. "This is going to be our sweetest job yet!" Trunks exclaimed excitedly. "Yeah, my dad's a great fighter, but a little clueless, ne?" Goten laughed. "Ne! So any ideas?" "All the basics; bugs in food, vanishing kids, fire, paint, weird screams, -dress up-, we can do anything!!" Goten's mouth moved so fast the words didn't have time to pour out of his mouth.

Bra spilled flour all over the kitchen floor and Pan dropped the Jell-O-mix into the egg batter. Goku burnt his hand on the stove and went to run water on it. When he came back, the pie was a disaster and the salad was sizzling on the stove. Goku cocked his head, "What were we making again?" Bra and Pan shrugged innocently. "How 'bout we just order for pizza?" suggests Goku. "OKEY!" squealed the part- saiyan. So Goku called Pick Pixie Pizza; "Hi, we'd like to order 400 large pizzas with everything on it." Pan shook her head and waved her arms, "Uh...make that 385 with everything and 15 without cheese..." Pan smiled.

It took 10 pizza cars to deliver the pizza, the pizza dudes marched into the house, carrying the loads of warm pizza. "Where are the guests?" one of them asked. Goku, again, looked confused, "What guests?" The pizza dude, sweatdropped; "Aren't all these pizzas for some party or something for Capsule Corp.?" he questioned. "No, these pizzas are for me, my son, my granddaughter, and my friend's kids' lunch." Goku said slowly, as if stating the obvious. The pizza guys almost dropped his pizzas, "FOUR HUNDRED PIZZAS FOR A LUNCH FOR FIVE?" the pizza guy almost screamed. The other pizza dudes stared. Goku nodded, confused by their reaction.

Trunks, Goten, Bra, and Pan lay back in their chairs, they were stuffed full. 50 worms, some with dirt still on them found their say into Goku's pizzas. He didn't notice, and if he did...he didn't care, because he ate them anyway. The 400 pizza boxes made a huge mound of trash that piled up to the ceiling. BUUURRPPP!! "Man, that was good, wasn't it guys?" Goku dumped the last 3 empty boxes into the trash. They nodded, unable to speak for fear that their stomachs would throw the food back up. (Also know as throwing up =P)

When they were able to move again, Bra and Pan sat on Goku's lap asking him to tell them stories, a.k.a., keeping the baby-sitter busy while Trunks and Goten to plan stuff that'll make the baby-sitter have a bad day. And indeed.... Trunks and Goten were armed with everything from water balloons to giant fake bugs. They packed their supplies into two backpacks. They grinned at each other. "Ready for phase #1, Bra." Trunks said into his walkie-talkie. Bra jerked her head up, a tiny ear-piece was in her ear. She nodded at Pan, who smiled mischievously. The fun would soon begin.

Goku was telling the girls about when he escaped planet Namek. Trunks and Goten hovered above Goku, totally unnoticed, Goku was too deeply absorbed in his story. SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! Bra and Pan jumped off the saiyan's lap just in time. Three water balloons exploded upon impact with Goku's head. "Gaaa!! What the--" Trunks and Goten laughed, and tossed more balloons at their baby-sitter. SPLASH! SPLASH! Bra and Pan stood a safe distance away, giggling. Goku grinned, and flew up towards Trunks and Goten, he said; "You guys wanna play with water balloons? Well you should aim for the left of the head, because when people jerk their head it's usually to the left, so you'd hit them in the face...." Goku went on to tell Trunks and Goten about waterballooning techniques. Trunks and Goten fell over, anime style, in midair!

Trunks and Goten stalked out of the room. "That was no fun, Goku is too clueless to be angry." Trunks grumbled. "You're right. He'd not very serious is he?" Goten slumped on a chair in Bra's room. "Is there -anything- your dad's afraid of?" Trunks asked his friend. "Lemme think...." Goten thought. And thought. "What are you guys waiting for?" Bra's voice hissed from the walkie-talkie. "We can't think of something that will annoy Goku. Be patient." Trunks told his sister.

"What are we gonna doooo?" wailed Goten, "This is gonna RUIN our reputation!" Trunks sighed, "I know, I know, help me think." The two demi-saiyan sat and thought. And thought. And thought. "I've got it!" Trunks cried. Goten looked at him, "What?" Trunks grinned, "We can hide all the food in the house!!" Goten stared at him, "Do we get to eat it?" Trunks shrugged, "If ya want. C'mon, tell Bra and Pan."

Goten and Trunks stealthily raided the refrigerator while Goku told Pan and Bra about the time spent in the hyperbolic time chamber with Gohan. They smuggled the food into Bra's room. After than, they quietly ate the food in the pantry and cupboards. "We're done." hissed Trunks into his walkie-talkie. "Granddaddy I'm hungry, can we have a snack?" Pan asked in her practiced cute voice. Goku scratched his head, "I don't see why not, let's go make a couple dozen ham sandwiches for a light snack." he said as he got up. Bra and Pan jumped off his lap, giggling.

"Wha.... WHERE DID ALL THE FOOD GO???" Goku's jaw dropped at the totally empty refrigerator. The saiyan frantically searched the cupboards and pantry. Trunks and Goten snickered watching their baby-sitter's face go from surprise to horror. "We'll starve!" Goku cried. Pan and Bra twisted their faces into the saddest and -cutest- face anyone could possibly stand, "No snack?" they squealed innocently. Goku stared at their sad faces, "I...uh....guess we...could go...(Goku is trying hard not to say this word =P).....s-s....s-s-shop-p-p-p...ing..." Goku spluttered. "YAY!" Bra and Pan chirped, their expressions instantly happy.

"How do we get there, dad? You can't drive." Goten asked as they prepared to do the thing Goku dreaded the most, shopping. Goku sweatdropped, "I guess we could fly and carry the food back..." The kids sweatdropped, -carry- all that -food-??? (I'm not sure if Bra can fly, but let's just say she can.) Goku, Trunks, Goten, Bra, and Pan took off towards the mall (since Goku had no idea where food was purchased and only knew how to consume it =P) "Ooooo, lookie all the pretty toys!" Bra chirped, as they passed a Toys R Us. "Well, I -guess- we could stop there first..." Goku did not know that he was making a big mistake. "YES!" the four mischievous part-saiyans cried and flew down towards the toy store.

As soon as they entered the door, the saiyan baby-sitter lost track of his babysitees. A few minutes of searching Goku spotted Trunks and Goten going at the store manager with huge water guns, "HAHAHA! Take this for not selling Gundam Wing action figures cheaper!! Hahaha!" the little savages cried. Goku was about to go after them when he heard familiar giggling. He turned to find a store clerk tied to a post with jump ropes, and a pile of Lincoln Logs surrounded his feet. Pan and Bra had on huge masks and grass skirts. "We need a sacrifice! We need a sacrifice" Pan chanted. The clerk spotted Goku, "HELP ME!!" he cried. Goku sweatdropped. "You displease the gods!" Bra whacked the clerk with a stuffed dog.

Goku was about to save the clerk when he heard someone scream at the video game section. "AIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!" a woman in a red dress jumped over a lone fire truck and ran down the aisle. Behind her was Trunks and Goten waving a N64 controllers like lassos and screaming, "Come back Charmander!" A soaked store manager stalked up to Goku, "Are those -your- kids?!?!" he screamed. Goku sweatdropped, the store clerk screamed as Bra and Pan held a barbecue torch up to the Lincoln Logs. The saiyan nodded. "GET THEM OUT! I won't make you pay, just GET OUT! OUT! AND NEVER COME BACK!" the man shrieked.

"That wasn't very nice of you, you know." Goku told the part- saiyans once they were on their way to the mall again. "We know..." they replied in unison, then broke out saying their reasons. "The action figures were too expensive! $13! That's a rip off!" "The clerk wouldn't let us eat the candy from the candy machines without a quarter!" "The lady made us share the Pokemon Stadium 2 with some mindless idiots that killed our progress! And she -did- look like a Charmander....sort of."

The group made it to the mall around 2 in the afternoon. "Now what do you guys wanna buy?" Goku asked as they entered the huge complex. "Games!" "Water guns!" "Spaghetti!" "Cheese!" "No, sushi!" "Chicken!" Goku sweatdropped. So they raided the toy store, not finding any food stores (*sigh* Goku, when will you learn?) They were kicked out of three stores when Bra spotted Bulma. "Mommmmmmmmmyy!!" Bulma turned around, "Bra? What are you doing here?" Chi Chi, 18, Videl, Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta turned from their various positions. "Goku! What are these kids doing here??" Chi Chi demanded once she spotted her husband. "Uh...well, Chi Chi....the kids got hungry and we ran out of food and so we went shopping?" he said lamely. "Ran out of food? What did you eat for lunch?" Bulma asked, putting Bra down.

"We ordered 400 pizzas from Pick Pixie Pizza..." Goten told her, Trunks jabbed him in the ribs. "How did you run out of food then? I just bought a new stock two days ago. Unless Trunks, Bra and Vegeta ate it all already." Bulma said confused, glaring at her children and husband. "Don't look at me, Woman, I didn't eat it." Vegeta grumbled, he was holding 7 bags of who-knows-what. "Well...I was pretty sure that there wasn't any food there..." Goku said. "What's going on here?" Krillin asked, blinking. "Why were you shopping for food in a -mall-?" 18 asked. Goku blinked, "You don't buy food here?" Everyone sweatdropped.

Bulma was the first to figure it out, being the genius that she is, "Oh, no, Trunks! You guys did it again didn't you?!?!" she fumed. "You hid all the food so Goku would take you out. What chaos did you cause?" Trunks, Goten, Bra and Pan sighed, "Well......" Chi Chi grabbed Goten by the ear, "You did it again?!" Goten gulped. Vegeta laughed, "Fool, Kakarott, one of (note the 'one of') the greatest fighters in the universe, outsmarted by a two second graders and two four year olds!" "Does this mean we don't get spaghetti?" Pan whined. Gohan picked her up, "Yes it does, and it also means you're grounded." Pan stared at him, "What's grounded mean? You're not gonna put me in that machine where mommy 'grounds' meat are you?" Pan eyes became teary. Gohan sighed, "No."

"C'mon, we're going home." Bulma growled as she took her son's arm. "Yes! The brats have saved me!" Vegeta laughed. "What did you say Vegeta?" Bulma demanded. "Nothing, woman." Vegeta answered, smirking. Krillin was not so lucky, he had to stay at the mall with 18. (Don't worry Krillin, I'll use Marron next time so you can get out of things too! =P) Videl and Gohan took Pan home, where they -didn't- ground her.

Trunks and Bra were however, grounded, as was Goten. The ice cream smuggled out of the refrigerator melted under Bra's bed, and the liquid sank through the carpet and ended up on the roof of the master bedroom. So in the middle of the night a few days after Goku's baby-sitting job, there was a nice big SPOLT. Followed by an "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" and a "SHUT UP WOMAN, I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" and another SPLOT! And an "ARRRGGGGGGG!!", then a "TRUNNNNKKKKKSSS!!!!" and stomping up the stairs and sounds of pillows. Glass shattering. "Mr.Rubber!!! You killed Mr.Rubber!!" Loud bumps. Wood creaking. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!" "Not the Mickey Mouse lamp! No! Mom, NOOO!!" Crash. More shattering grass. A thump outside. "Owwwwwwww...."
