Argh! Sorry this is late. I've been so busy with Halloween and school projects that I've waited til the last minute to do, I haven't had time to update.
"When I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band…" I sang softly to pass the time while Goten dragged his butt. Why are you singing when I was a young boy? Joivth asked. You're a girl.
"Because the song was written by My Chemical Romance, and they're all men," I answered. "Where is Goten!? It should not take that long to put on a damn costume!"
Goten conveniently came running down into the cave right after I spoke. He looked around the creepy dark cave. "Why do we have to meet here, Triple P? This place reminds me of Gollum's cave."
"My Precious…" a raspy voice behind me said. I whirled around and a small gray humanoid creature crouched behind a rock. It seemed to be talking to either itself or something in its hand.
"Um, hello?" I called out apprehensively.
"What's this Precious?" the creature asked. "Two humans and a dragon… Where is Baggins?"
"Dude, I think you're in the wrong fandom," Goten said. "This is DBZ/DRoP."
Gollum grinned sheepishly. Actually, it was more of a sneer. "Sorry! Come, my Precious…"
That was weird, Joivth said loud enough for Goten to hear.
"Yes, it was. Now, let's go! Halloween'll be over in a few hours!" I exclaimed.
"Um, Triple P, are you sure about this?" Goten asked. "I mean, you've never actually been between before."
"Of course it will work!" I said vigorously. "At least, in theory."
Going between is visual. Even if you don't know where a person is, if you can visualize that person, then you should be able to get to him, Joivth explained.
"I hope you're right…"(1)
Goten and I followed Joivth outside and climbed onto her back. I sent her the picture and we winked out of existence.

We emerged in front of a large mansion. "We did it!" Goten and I shouted. We slid off Joivth's back and crept into the house.
We found our targets sleeping peacefully in their beds. Jon was even singing in his sleep.
Goten threw the men over his shoulder and made his way out the door to Joivth.

When the band woke up, they were in their costumes on a stage they had never seen before. Jon looked around, confused and a little scared. "What happened, man?"
"Don't you remember, Jon? You guys agreed to play at my Halloween party tonight!" I said cheerfully. "I told you I'd pay you 5 grand, remember?"
"Oh, yeah… Hey guys! Wake up, we got a show to do!" Jon shouted at the rest of his band. I skipped off to get my "guests" together for the concert, the perfect image of a ditzy fan girl.(2),(3)

I cornered the Trunkses in the kitchen. "Come on you two! It's Bon Jovi!"
"You think we care?" asked Mirai, the braver of the two. "Just because Bon Jovi is your second obsession besides us doesn't mean everyone likes them."
I pouted. If pleading wouldn't work, playing with their emotions most definitely would!
"All I wanted was just one date from you at least one of you," I sniffled, forcing tears into my eyes, "but all you seem to care about is yourselves!" I moved into a corner to sulk.
"Ignore the tears, ignore the tears, ignore the tears!" the present Trunks said to himself. In his time, Vegeta didn't die, and he had learned how to harden his heart. Mirai on the other hand, had never learned that there was a way to resist a girl's pout, and was playing right into my hand.
"Please don't cry Stephanie, I'll go with you to the concert," he said miserably.
I instantly cheered up. I jumped up and wrapped my arms around his neck, making it impossible to escape; our faces were inches from each other. "You'd better put your costume on," I grinned slyly at him. Mirai gulped nervously. "Sure," he said in a high pitched voice.
I reluctantly released him, and he ran to his room to dress. I grinned at the present Trunks. "You're next, sweetheart." His face turned pale.
I giggled and went off to watch Mirai change clothes on the monitor in my room.

By the time I returned to the main hall, the band had already set up and was playing the first song.
"Come on, Trunks, let's dance!"
"Do we have to?"
"Yes."
I grabbed his hand and pulled him down the stairs. Before we reached the bottom, Pan noticed us together. She eagerly flew up to us, dragging Bra along with her. "So, did you finally get Trunks to go out with you?"
"Yep!" I grinned and slapped hands with her. "It was hard, but I did it."
"Cool! Well, me and Bra gotta go. We gotta piss Vegeta off before the night is over."
"Yeah!" Bra said. "I'm gonna wear a really skimpy outfit, then dance with Goten."
I laughed. "Yeah, that'll really piss him off!"
Pan and Bra left, and I finally got Trunks to the dance floor, where Bon Jovi was playing I'll Be There For You. I grinned devilishly at Trunks. "Oh, look! A slow song!"
Trunks groaned but put his hands on my waist anyway. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him close, and laid my head against his chest. The look on his face was priceless.
0000000000
The concert/dance was over, and Trunks had a chance to escape my grasp. Most likely I wouldn't see him for a week.
Goten had the band drugged and sleeping, and was piling them on Joivth's back to take them home. When they woke up in the morning, they would remember nothing at all about the previous night.
I wrapped my cloak around myself and swept outside into the cold. "All right, guys, let's get the band home."
Joivth went between, and that was the end of my favorite Halloween ever.
(1) For those who are familiar with DRoP, Goten is not HAD (hearing all dragons). Dragons can talk to whoever they want, so that's why he can hear Joivth.
(2) LOL
(3) There you go, angeloftorment! I put Jon Bon Jovi in it!
I really enjoyed writing this. Especially the part with me and Trunks dancing.lol
