Short Attention Span
By: pin0ts
"Hey, Goten! Look at this!" A small, lilac haired boy, kneeling on mud, covered with dirt, shouted to his friend who was at the other side of the garden, wanting to get his attention. He swivelled his head to look back, to see the boy, as dirty as himself, run to him.
"Whoa!" The raven haired kid exclaimed, the moment he saw the pink, fat, wiggling thing on his friend's mud covered hands. Another thought then crossed the naïve child's head, and he decided to voice it out. "Mmm. Looks yummy! Do you think we could eat it?"
"Yeah! Like what Timon and Pumbaa do!" Cerulean eyes lit up at his friend's 'amazing' idea. He then looked at the struggling worm in his hands, then smiles wider at its shininess and its obvious juiciness. Yes it's dirty, but hey, there's nothing a little water can't clean.
"Let's go inside and clean this." The founder of the slimy insect suggested, and with their short limbs, they started running inside the Capsule Corp., making their way to the kitchen, then to the sink, getting a bowl, filling it up with water, then putting the poor worm in, using his scrawny fingers to remove the dirt.
"You done? You done? Can we eat it yet?" Came Goten's excited voice. It's his first time to eat a worm, and first times ALWAYS get him excited. The other lad then got a plate, and a knife, then settling them on the table, hands still holding their soon snack.
He then placed the still squirming worm on the plate and took hold of the knife, ready to slice it in half. But then, a certain azure haired female passed by, and when she got a full view of her kitchen, her eyes widened, startled at the sight of her son, about to murder the poor worm. "TRUNKS! What are you doing?"
Hearing his mom's screeching voice brought him to stop, and nonetheless answer innocently. "We're going to eat it. And don't worry, we already washed it." The lad said reassuringly, totally missing the point.
"No, you can't eat that. Now leave that there, and go play outside." The scandalized woman said patiently, hoping that they would comply right away, with out their silly comments, but as usual, those kind of wishes doesn't come true. "But why can't we eat the juicy, juicy worm?" Kakarot's son piped in.
"Because it's dirty." Bulma said in a curt tone, wanting to end this discussion right away. Her short explanation caused her son to slightly tilt his head, eyebrows furrowed. "But mom, didn't you hear me a while ago? I already washed it."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, something thin and laser-like coming from the kitchen opening hit the wriggling worm, now reducing it to a pile of gray ash. "Go ahead and eat that if you want. Now leave." The beholder of the booming, baritone voice stood behind his wife, giving space for the two kids to run to.
Once they're outside, they immediately faced each other, huge grins plastered on their excited faces, as they yelled out in unison, "Awesome!"
"Watching dad pulverize the worm is way cooler than eating it!"
"Do you think we could ask him to do it again?" Asked the latter, clearly wanting to see more.
"Nah. You know my dad, he's…" Trunks stopped, somewhat hypnotized, as he walked closer to the object that caught his attention. "Hey look. It's a Ladybug!"
Goten suddenly runs to where his friend is, and starting to look for the red and black insect.
A/N: So here's first try on making a DBZ story AND a non-romance story. Hehe. Though this really started out as a VegetaBulma fic, and what you just read are the first and second scene. But it didn't work out well, so I just decided to cut it off.
I'm not really super satisfied; but still, hope you enjoyed reading this one:D
