Chapter 5

Nosebleeds and cracked skulls.

By the time Goten and Shay reached the capsule house, it was already raining hard. Goten set Shay safely on the ground and the pair ran into the house, their water soaked clothes leaving trails of water on the floors.

"So much for making a campfire!" Shay said. She reached into her bag and took out the Dragonball. "Here Goten. I don't know where Trunks wants to put this."

Goten looked at the Dragonball, then at Shay. She looked at him with concern when his eyes grew wide and blood started dripping from his nose. "Uhh… I-I'll just put that in his room." He said. He covered his nose with one hand and took the Dragonball with the other. Kami, why did she have to wear a white shirt today? Goten could see through her shirt as if it was transparent, making that the reason for his sudden nosebleed. He ran upstairs, hoping that she didn't notice him looking at her chest.

"Goten?" Shay watched him leave, confusion written on her face. "Oh well. I guess I'll just get dinner started." She walked up to her room to change.

I don't know how long I've been sitting here. I didn't mind the rain. It felt good after it had been so hot and sticky out here. I leaned against the tree I was sitting in, watching the rain water run down the huge leaves. It wasn't until lightning started flashing that I decided to head in. Suddenly a loud thunderclap shook the trees, sending water from the leaves pouring down. I sat up and stretched when a sharp pain went through my head. My hand shot up to the place I had been hit. I opened one eye just in time to see the orange ball falling to the ground. Everything seemed to go in slow motion as I jumped down to catch the Dragonball just before it hit the ground. "That was close!" I levitated my body until I was standing upright again. I guess I better go back to the house. It was already after dark and I didn't want Goten and Shay worrying about me. Besides, my head was killing me!

Shay knocked softly on the room Goten had run into. I guess that nosebleed of his is really getting to him. She thought. He slowly opened the door, relieved that she had changed her clothes. "The food's ready. Oh, and here's a cold towel for your nose. Do you feel any better?" She asked.

If she only knew why my nose started bleeding… He thought. "Yeah, I feel great! Thanks anyway." Goten hadn't noticed the delicious smell of whatever she had cooked until she mentioned dinner.

"I just hope I made enough for you guys!" She said while walking back to the kitchen. Goten wasn't too far behind her. Once they had reached the living area, Trunks walked through the door.

"I didn't know you two were so eager for me to come home!" Trunks said.

So he does smile! He should do that more often! Shay thought to herself. "We were just about to eat. I hope you're hungry." She said.

"For the first time in a while, I am." Trunks said. "Oh, yeah! I have a little something for you two."

"What's that?" They said in unison.

Trunks waved his finger in the air. "It won't be a surprise if you're looking! Now close your eyes." They obeyed him after giving him doubtful looks. "Now hold out your hand." Once again, they listened. Trunks took the two Dragonballs out from the pouch he had stored them in. After placing one in each of their hands, he told them to open their eyes.

"So this is what you're so happy about!" Goten said.

"I guess that means that our gift to you is on your bed." Shay said.

"Three in one day has to be some type of record for us, ne?" Trunks said. I can't believe that we're about halfway there in the first day! Trunk thought. But somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew that their easy streak was just about over.
