Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Short, Dark, Pointy-Haired Man Banned From Disney ❯ Dinoland, Dinner, and the GF ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6

By Elbereth in April

"I have to go to the bathroom," Goten announced.

"Me, too."

"Me, too."

So they stopped for a bathroom break. Gohan and Goku were late on rejoining them. Each carried a sack and wore a silly, satisfied smile.

"What were you bakas up to?" Vegeta's eyes narrowed suspiciously.

Gohan pulled a set of Mickey Mouse ears out of his bag. He placed it happily on his head as Goku did the same with his own pair of ears.

Vegeta burst out laughing.

Goku grinned in total obliviousness. "Don't worry, Vegeta, I got you one, too." So saying, he pulled out another hat and placed it on Vegeta's head in a lightning-fast move.

Dumbstruck, Vegeta glared at him, giving Bulma time to snap a photo. "Ack!" He snatched it off his head and threw it to the ground.

Roshi picked it up and put it on, smiling cheesily and raising his fingers in a "V." Vegeta snatched it off of him. "That's mine!" he snarled. He put it on Bulma's head. She didn't mind.

Meanwhile, Gohan had shyly pulled out another set of ears, this time attached to a turban. He handed it to Piccolo, whose eyes widened in horror. Gohan smiled in innocent encouragement. "I weighted it for you."

Piccolo stared from the mouse-eared turban to Gohan and back again. "I-I can't."

Gohan's eyes seemed to well up. "Please?"

Piccolo choked, groaned, and took the turban. Sweating, he placed it on his head.

Gohan smiled happily. "You look cool, Piccolo-san!"

"You think Saiya-man looks cool," Trunks pointed out.

The others were staring at him with huge grins. With a snarl and a line inspired by the Saiyan Prince, he sneered at them, "Laugh and I'll blast you to the next dimension!"

Chi-Chi took his photo.

They started walking. Goku gawked around at everything. Vegeta pretended not to look. Piccolo pretended he was invisible.

The entrance to Dinoland sported a huge dinosaur skeleton. Goten, Gohan, and Trunks became very excited. "This is cool!"

First they ran to the Boneyard, a playground made up of fossil mazes to crawl through, nets to climb, and chutes to slide down. The ground had a soft, spongy consistency. Gohan gave a couple experimental bounces until his foot broke through.

There were more big dinosaur bones. "Neat!" Trunks exclaimed. He punched the skeleton in the nose. The statue cracked outwards from his fist and shattered into a hundred pieces.

They scurried off to climb up the nets. They chased each other around, yelling and laughing. Goten fell over and Trunks fell on top of him. When they tried to get up, they discovered they were entangled in the nets.

"Now what?" Trunks groaned.

Goten filled his hand with ki.

"Goten, wait!"

He burnt through the ropes, setting the bottom few nets on fire and causing them to fall several feet before they remembered they could fly.

"Come see this store," Chi-Chi called as several workers ran past them with fire extinguishers. When Trunks and Goten had safely landed, everyone went over and she waved them inside. They looked around with their mouths open. Tinsel and old posters lined the walls. A train ran around a track near the ceiling. Strange dinosaur toys filled odd corners of the store.

"It's like the height of 1950's tackiness," Bulma commented.

"Yeah! Isn't it great?" Goku grinned.

The boys lost interest and ran outside. The others followed. First, Goten and Trunks went on Primeval Whirl, a small roller coaster with big, round cars that spun. They laughed through the whole thing. Then they ran (somewhat dizzily) to the carnival games set up nearby.

"Look at this! You whack the dino on the head when it pops out of the hole!" Goten jumped up and down.

"That's right!" The game's runner barked, carnie-style. "First person to reach a score of 150 wins one of these stuffed dinosaurs!"

Goten, Trunks, and a few other children crowded around the line of gaming machines. "Ready! Go!"

Goten and Trunks raised their clubs. They swung them down onto a dinosaur's head. Goten's stick sliced all the way through the machine and left a hole in the ground. Trunks' club and the machine both simply shattered.

The two looked at each other, disappointed, as the other children backed away. "We didn't reach 150. Can we try again?" Goten asked.

The worker twitched. "Here. Just take one. Take two." He shoved an armful of stuffed animals at them, which they happily took.

They ran to the next game booth, Comet Crasher. They were given several orange balls. Goten examined his with interest. "Are these dragonballs?" he whispered.

"No, baka!"

Bulma glanced at her son, then went back to busily encapsulating the stuffed animals.

The object was to throw the balls into various holes in the table. "Gently," Chi-Chi cautioned.

When the dust cleared, they stood in front of a large crater. "But I didn't use half my strength," Trunks protested as Bulma led him away.

"No more games," Chi-Chi declared firmly.

As they all turned to leave, they passed Dino-Whamma. You had to hit a weight with a hammer to ring a bell. Two little girls and their dads waited in line to play.

"My dad's stronger than your dad," the first girl taunted her cousin.

"My dad's the strongest man in the world," the second girl retorted.

Trunks stopped and laughed at them. "Your dads are weak humans. My dad is the Saiyan Prince, and he's stronger than anyone in the universe!"

"Oh yeah? Let's see him hit the bell then!" The first girl stuck her tongue out at Trunks.

Trunks smirked. "Hey, Dad!"

Vegeta, who had listened to the whole thing, came forward, also smirking. He picked up the hammer. On the sidelines, Bulma covered her eyes.

He swung the hammer down, cracking the ground open and causing a mild earthquake. The weight flew up and hit the bell. Bell and weight were flung into the air. They hit a ball on top of a pole on their way into orbit. The ball fell over, hitting the first lightbulb on a string of lightbulbs and cracking them all in a domino effect. Wires started shorting out and sparks flew up. The end bulb hit the next attraction over and its four strings of lightbulbs with enough force to start another chain reaction. That strike, combined with the shaking earth, toppled over Primeval Whirl, which made the ground shake even harder, bringing down Triceratop Spin and Dino-Sue, the largest Tyrannosaurus-Rex skeleton ever found at 40 feet long, 13 feet tall, and 7 tons. The whole center of Dinoland collapsed.

"Man, we didn't get to ride the Dinosaur attraction yet," Gohan complained.

As they rapidly exited Dinoland, Gohan saw one intact dinosaur statue that a large family was having their photo taken with. Gohan smiled at the youngest chibi.

"I love dinos!" he chattered to Gohan happily as the mom loaded more film into the camera.

"So do I. But this is just a statue."

The chibi stuck out his bottom lip. "I know. But I've never seen a real one."

Gohan frowned. "Never? Wait a minute. Hey!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, staring up into the sky. "Icharus!"

There was a momentary silence, then a loud roar. The mother almost dropped her camera as a winged purple dino came flying down from out of the sky. Icharus landed next to Gohan, who patted him happily. Several nearby people screamed.

Gohan turned to the wide-eyed little boy. "Icharus won't mind having his picture taken. Will you?" he turned back to the dinosaur, who seemed to be smiling.

"Oh wow!" the boy flung his arms around the dino's leg, hugging him. Icharus had grown rather large-8 feet tall. "My name's Paul!" the chibi chirped happily. "You're awesome!"

"Have fun!" Gohan said, and hurried to catch up to the rest of his group.

He reached them just in time to hear Goku say, "I'm hungry!" He and Goten immediately agreed.

The map was pulled out again. "Any more buffets?"

"Can I help you?" asked an employee, so friendly and cheerful it was obviously only his first week of work.

"Buffets?" Goku repeated. "All you can eat?"

"At the nearby Animal Kingdom Lodge, sir," he replied. "It has many interesting ethnic foods and is only a short bus ride away."

They thanked the man and headed for the park exit. Crowds of people swirled around them, who they pretty much overlooked-until. . .

"What in the world?" Gohan exclaimed as their whole party stopped and did a double-take.

The Ginyu Force stared back at them. Halos floated above their heads. Each had a silver Mickey Mouse balloon tied to one wrist. Jeice and Recoome both had big lollipops. Captain Ginyu wore oversized Mickey Mouse gloves. Burter carried an enormous stuffed Pluto. Each wore a strange hat. Burter had Donald-from the waist down, his feet sticking up in the air. Recoome wore a tall Mad Hatter's hat. Jeice was wearing a grey headband with Eeyore ears attached. Capt. Ginyu had a red Minnie Mouse cap, polka-dots, bow, ears and all. And Guldo. . . Guldo wore a child's Tinkerbell costume, complete with wand and wings, and a pointy pink Princess hat.

"What are you doing here?" Vegeta shrieked.

"King Yemma said, `You've just received your one day of life for good behavior. What are you going to do next?' And we all yelled, `Go to Disney World!'"

"I'm thinking about switching bodies with Mickey," Ginyu said happily.

"Nice hat!" Recoome complimented Piccolo, who turned a pinkish-green, pulled it off, and held it out of sight behind his back.

Bulma pointed at Guldo. "You're in a dress."

"Isn't it stylish?" he grinned cheerfully. Then he looked panicky. "It is, isn't it?"

The other Ginyu Force members all snickered.

Vegeta, Gohan, and Goku all looked at each other. Then Vegeta fired a small ki blast with one finger, that ricocheted around the group, making them all yelp.

"Hey!" Burter cried. "That wasn't nice!"

"We must show them what the Ginyu Force is made of!" Capt. Ginyu exclaimed.

"Goofballs," said Gohan.

They all bristled, then danced around each other, ending in various ridiculous poses. "We are the Ginyu Force!"

Trunks nudged Gohan. "See how stupid that looks?"

"Can we do Rock, Paper, Scissors for Vegeta?" Guldo asked, breaking the mood.

"And what's that other Saiyan muttering about?"

Everyone turned to look at Goku, who was standing peacefully, eyes closed, hands held up in the air. "The sky, the air, the water. . . all the animals here. . . lend me your power!"

"Kakkarot, I don't think that's really necessary. . ."

Little sparks of light began to gather around him.

"Outrageously over-charged tourists. . . give me your power!"

Vegeta sighed and shrugged. He and Gohan moved to stand amongst the crowd that had gathered to watch.

The ball of energy above Goku's head grew larger and larger as the Ginyu Force looked on, confused.

"He looks really stupid doing that in those mouse ears," Vegeta remarked.

Goku opened his eyes, grinned, and lobbed the ball of energy at the huddled Ginyu Force. There was a bright flash and a brief shriek. When everyone could see again, there was nothing left but a slightly singed pink Princess hat. Chi-Chi regarded it thoughtfully, then picked it up and put it on. "Spoils of war," she said.

"Time to eat," Goten reminded them.

A very short bus ride later, the Saiyans were piling their plates to record heights. The humans and Namek sighed and shook their heads. The buffet bar was quickly wiped out.

A crying pre-pubescent boy was wailing, "Mommy, that pointy-haired man took the last plate of food! He took that piece of chicken away from me!"

The woman glared at their table and patted her son on the back. "Never mind, Joey. We'll order room service."

"Vegeta, shame on you," Bulma whispered.

"Well, but Kakkarot ate all the beef!"

"There's the bus you want, sirs, madams. And please, never eat here again. Have a Disney day!"
