Queen Luana : Hi ya'll! ;) I'm here bringing Hide and Seek on special request from... hi ya'll. Dunno who she or he is, he or she didn't leave an email either, so, I just hope he or she, ugh, this is anoying! I just hope IT reads this story. This was slightly more difficult, since Hide and Seek is based on a specific situation and the other two (The ring, The sixth sense) don't. So, it looks like a LOT like the original movie, only with the Dragonball Z cast.Vegeta's gonna be OOC since well, it's gonna be hard to write this without him being kinda worried about Trunks, right? Oh yeah, don't laugh with th entire Mikey stuff. I just thought Mikey is a more modern name than Charlie and I could kinda more picture V... Never mind! I'll spoil the end ;) Read and review please. You! You readers are the stars! MWA:x
Mikey...
Vegeta sighed and resumed watching his sports programme. Upstairs he could hear his little boy cry out loud: "Mikey! I'm coming to find you!" After which he could hear a closet being pulled open. He never would've guessed his son would have to deal with this kind of problem...
It started after Bulma died. Kami, he could not help still feeling responsible. Jumped out of their bedroom window, what was that woman thinking! She had a son to take care of and God she knew well enough he couldn't by himself! Well, he was not entirely on his own. His father and mother in law did come over and help, and then there was Kakarot. Although the first thought of Kakarot spending time with him had disgusted Vegeta, he was now almost glad he was around. Trunks liked his presence and Gohan's as well. And somehow Vegeta was stepping further and further away from his son.
He heard the little footsteps down the stairs and Trunks opened the kitchen door. "Mikey! Are you here? Mikey!"
At first Vegeta had blamed TV, just like Bulma had always done when Trunks came up with something new. Then everyone started telling him it wasn't TV but Trunks' way of working things out, of getting over his mother's death. Vegeta had first found it ridiculous. It was his wife as well! And he wasn't running around the house 24/7 crying 'Mikey! Mikey!'. Now he realised they were right. He still found it odd.
What he found odd as well was how he had changed. He had been acting more father-like, as if Bulma somehow lived on inside him. Ridiculous, or maybe not?
His son jumped into the couch's pillows still panting loudly. Vegeta pulled at his leg. "Hey."
"Hush! Quiet daddy, don't let him find me!" Trunks whispered pressing a finger to his lips.
"Sorry," he said and stood up sighing. He just wished he would stop, honnestly. He had changed alright, but not even Santa Claus himself wouldn't get annoyed after spending two weeks with that kid.
After taking a beer from the fridge he went back to the living room, there to find his son still giggling underneath the pillows. Nice hiding place. You could still see his legs and part of his purple hair. He chuckled and grabbed his son at his ancle. Trunks screamed loudly. "Time for bed, it's past nine," his father said and carried him upstairs.
"Dad, I thought you were Mikey!" Trunks laughed.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah..."
Vegeta threw him onto his bed and placed his can on his desk. "Night night."
"Daddy! I want a goodnight kiss!" Trunks cried when his father had already reached out for the switch. He groaned.
"Trunks..." No way he was giving anyone any good night kisses. Kissing his own wife had been awkward!
"Mummy always gave me a kiss." Ouch, that kid was seven and still he already know how the nail him. 'Mummy always' had become his magic words for everything. Vegeta sighed, leaned over and placed his son a short kiss on his forehead.
"G'night daddy." Darn, I'm growing soft, Vegeta thought while switching off the light.
While marching through the hall upstairs Vegeta redecorated the pictures standing on the small table next to his bedroom door. There were three on it, one of Trunks on the swing. One with the whole family and one of Trunks burrying his sleeping mother with sand on the beach. He placed the one with only Trunks in front of the other two, making sure Bulma was almost entirely out of sight. He then looked up at hearing his son snigger in his room.
Vegeta opened the door and looked inside. Trunks was laughing with his hands pressed against his mouth. "What's so funny?"
"M-Mikey just told me a great joke... hehehe..." Trunks laughed, almost in tears. "What animal should you never play cards with?" His father shrugged although he perfectly well knew the answer. One of Kakarot's stupid jokes. "A cheetah!" Trunks said before bursting out in laughter. "Get it daddy? You say it the same way as cheater!"
"Alright, Eddy Murphy, get back to bed," Vegeta chuckled and closed the door. How come it sounded way more funny coming out of the mouth of an seven year old? Maybe just because Trunks had such a contagious laugh. Hehe, so his friend Mikey had a sense of humor. Walking pass the old table he raised an eyebrow. The picture of his wife burried in the sand stood in front and Trunks was smiling at him. Too tired to think about it he rearranged them again and went to bed.
Queen Luana: I know this is a short chap, but I gotta think a while about what's gonna happen next. And Yeah, Eddy Murphy because I couldn't think of any other American comedian. So... Don't hate me... AND PLEASE REVIEW! (puppy eyes)
