AN: Hi! Here's another one of my humour and romance fics. I noticed something about the stories I write. I seem to get a lot more reviews when I do humour and romance. With the exception of It Brought Us Together, my other serious fics, didn't get a lot of hits.
For now, Torn Apart is postponed until further notices. Thanks to all of the reviewers especially 'The General of Darkness' for making my writing better and 'F22 Raptor' for inspiring once again. Thank you so much, those are the kind of reviews that makes me feel like I'm one of the best writers out there.
Well, let's get on to my story.
:STRANDED:
It was a very nice day. Such a nice day in fact, that the popular and most well respected school in Satan city had decided to send out one special class to go out on the beach as a school trip. Which class? Well, that's not very hard to guess.
"People, let's get over here without any hassles please." The teacher in charge called out to his students. "We're going to start a new game, and this time, no cheating please."
A few giggles and chuckles erupted from the crowd that was gathering slowly infront of the teacher. One student in particular was pinned with glares from the other students, who actually believed that winning was everything.
"What?" the boy said, with mocking confusion sketched on his face. And that boy is Sharpner. "A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do."
"Yeah, and a guy's gotta cheat?" Erasa, who was standing beside him asked him, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course. Not everybody is bound to win, you know."
Erasa snickered. "No wonder Videl never goes out with you. I think she made a right decision."
Sharpner raised both of his hands up. "Peace okay? I already gave up anyway. So if anybody thinks that she dumped me, well, they're wrong."
"You never even dated!"
A demanding shush shut both of the blondes up. They saw Videl beside them, nodding her head towards the teacher, who was now, also glaring at the two of them in particular.
"This game is the old fashioned game of boat racing." The teacher continued to explain. "Each one of you will get a partner and you're going to get a boat and two oars. Most of you know the game. There's going to be a long line of ribbon, fifty-five meters away, and if you're the first ones to reach it, then you're the winner. There are video cameras up on the poles looking over the sea, and the other teacher is already guarding, and watching closely. What are you standing there for? Go get yourselves a partner and let's start this game!" the teacher ended harshly.
The students scattered around, some already getting themselves a boat and oars, while the others arguing to who's going with who.
It didn't take a very long time for Videl to grab Gohan's arm and drag him to where the boats were lined up.
"Wow, so far we've been partners for every single game!" Gohan told his best friend, or according to Krillin, his 'girlfriend'. He liked her a lot, no need to deny that, he just hoped that he will actually get enough guts to say it. Guts, hehe.
"Why, do you mind?" Videl asked him back.
"No. I'm just saying it. But I don't mind at all."
With that, both of the raven-haired teens took a boat and Gohan grabbed two oars from the stand. They walked down the sandy ground and once they reached the waters, they placed the boat down. Gohan suggested that Videl go in the boat, and when the race starts, he'll push it and get it afterwards.
Once ever student was in a straight line, just at the edge of the waves, the teacher counted down from three and told them to go. And the race started! Unfortunately, so did the bad weather.
Videl and Gohan worked their way, and they soon found themselves on the deeper part of the beach. They were way ahead of everybody else.
"Do you think we should slow down?" Videl asked. "I think we should wait for the others to catch up."
"Uh, no." Gohan replied quietly. It was nice to get Videl alone for once! Erasa and Sharpner has been at their tail ever since the day started.
"Is something the matter?"
"No."
The two of them rowed quietly, but they still didn't see the white line of the ribbon. They've been rowing for quite a while.
"Uh… Videl, there is something wrong." Gohan replied awkwardly.
"Yeah, I figured that out." Videl answered back.
The waves had taken an abrupt change in manner. They weren't peacefully and slowly moving, but now, they were pounding violently against the side of their boat. Nobody can be seen behind them anymore, and no white ribbon ahead either. A little moment afterwards, the rain started to pour down.
"Oh perfect!" Videl mumbled. "Just perfect."
"Videl, maybe we should go back. It doesn't matter about winning now." Gohan shouted, making himself audible against the roaring waves and the loud tapping of the rain on the water.
"Good idea."
However, before they could turn around, they saw a blinding light ahead and a couple of seconds later, they heard a low rumble of the thunder.
They tried to row themselves around so they could go back, but the waves weren't allowing their boat to turn and the oars weren't any more help.
"Gohan!" Videl shouted. "Just use some of your powers to push us just a little bit closer to the shore."
"No!" Gohan yelled back. "Some of them might still be on the sea and I don't want anyone to see me do it."
"It doesn't matter! They might think that it's just a flash of lightning."
Before Gohan could argue back, a large wave hit them over, turning their boats bottom side up. Both the teens were pushed down the water. Gohan immediately popped his head up for some air. Videl was nowhere in sight.
"VIDEL!" he called. There was no reply, not even her head popping up.
"VIDEL!" he yelled out once again. But there was still no reply.
He dived down underneath the water, to look for her. It was so hard to swim! He opened his eyes just to feel the salty water enter them. He closed them back, but the urge to find Videl won and he opened them again. Disappointment took over him as he found out that there was nothing to see. There were only bubbles everywhere and even if there isn't, the only thing he could see was the dark blue colour of the sea.
He went back up for air.
THERE!
He spotted something floating.
"VIDEL!" he called out.
He swam after the body, pushing himself forcefully against the strong waves. He saw the body float away.
Damn! He was so stupid.
After knocking himself on the head a couple of times, Gohan realized that he should have flew to be able to reach Videl. So that's exactly what he did. He flew up until he was able to see most of the waters that were surrounding them both. He could already see that their boat was broken into pieces.
But, once again, there was no sign of Videl.
He looked around for her, his head spinning so quickly in every direction, that he thought it might screw off his neck.
Suddenly, before he even saw anything else up there in the air with him, something struck him against his head. An excruciating pain rang up the back of his neck to the top of his head.
Before he dropped to the waters, he fell unconscious.
