Hey everyone! It's only my second fic, and I've already decided to have a little fun, and torture Son Gohan! Gohan himself is actually here to protest…

Gohan: WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING THIS TO ME? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? FIRST IT WAS DEMONDANCING, THEN FROZENFLOWER, AND NOW WASHU WANTS A CRACK AT ME! THEY'RE ALL AGAINST ME I TELL YOU! ALL OF THEM!

*Is dragged off by a bunch of guys from the mental hospital*

All well, he should be back sooner or later. On with the fiction!!!!

************************************************************************

Twas the Thursday before Mother's Day, and all through Satan City,

Just about everyone was all in a tizzy,

Trying to find something for mom,

Except for our hero, Gohan!

"Mr. Son, Mr. Son, MR. SON!!!!!"

Gohan was suddenly shaken from his daydream by his teacher's annoying squawk.



"Son Gohan, I know the hours you spend fighting crime are harsh, but they will be nothing compared to what your mother will do to you if I drop you from this class!"

"Sorry Mr. Shu, I was really busy last night, and I didn't get much sleep."

Erasa giggled, but shot him a look of pity, but Sharpener had other plans.

"More like you were out all 'with Videl' all night Saiyadweeb."

"Knock it off Sharpener, I don't see you rescuing any hostages."

Videl had just started going out with Gohan, and she wasn't about to see Sharpener verbally kick him.



"Were you rescuing hostages, or 'Saiyamaning' all night with Gohan, Mrs. Saiyaman?"



Videl's cheeks went scarlet, and she would have rammed her pencil up Sharpener's nose, but Mr. Shu interrupted.

"I have an announcement to make! As you all know, Orange Star High is having a carnival tomorrow. You know the annual event when you students can frolic, and play, and make out and stuff. 'Ugh' This school still desperately needs more volunteers to build and run the carnival booths. This job may help you earn a few extra dollars to buy a Mother's Day present, if you're too stupid to have not bought one already. Oh, there goes the bell, now you can go on with your quote on quote 'lives' "

Freed by the end of the day, Gohan started for the door.

*A carnival, that should be fun, I wonder if Videl's interest… WAIT? MOTHER'S DAY! I completely forgot! What's mom going to say if I don't turn up with a gift? I can't let that happen! I've got to get Goten and Dad and buy something. Am I saying? I don't have any money! Mom's hid it all for college. What am I going to do?*

"Gohan, earth to Gohan! Are you going to leave the school anytime soon?"

"Oh, sorry Videl, I'm just really worried, I don't have a Mother's Day present or the money to buy one."

"Don't worry about it Gohan, I'm setting up a booth in the carnival with Erasa, but we need extra help. If you help us we'll split the profit with you."

"Gee thanks Videl, I'll see you tomorrow at seven?"

"Right see you Gohan."

Walking side by side with her boyfriend, Videl stopped to think,

*Maybe I shouldn't tell Dad I'm doing this with Gohan, it looks like he's had enough of Saiyans and Buu monsters for a while, I don't think he'll approve…*



Back at the Son household, the sound of two Saiyans sparring could be heard for miles. Goku and Vegeta were at it again, and Goten and Trunks were watching.

"Look at them go Goten, do you think we should join in?"

Goten watched as a stray ki beam slammed into the ground before the Son house.

"Nope, and Mom's really not going to like that…duck!"

Both boys dodged another ki beam just in time.

"Hey Trunks – "

"What?"

"What are you getting your mom for mother's day?"

"Huh?"

" 'Cause I wanna get my mom something special, but I have no idea what. I don't think she liked the dinosaur I gave her last year that much. Maybe I should try making something."

"Forget it Goten, I tried making my mom breakfast in bed once, and that's what she got…breakfast IN bed."

"I think we have to buy something Trunks, but I don't have any money, but I'm sure you do, right?"

"Sorry Goten, but my allowance was cut short after that time I tried to cook."

"Gee, what did you do Trunks?"

"Oh don't worry about it, they're almost done rebuilding the kitchen, and everyone's supposed to make a full recovery."

"Well now what are we supposed to do?"

"I don't know, maybe our dads have an idea."

"Have an idea about what?"

Goku and Vegeta had finished their spar and as usual, no one had come out on top, both Saiyans looked as though they had been through a meat grinder, but Goku was still his innocent self and Vegeta was still…Vegeta-ish.

"Hi dad! Me and Trunks were just wondering what to get mom for Mother's Day."

"So that's what you've both been wasting your time thinking about instead of training."

"It's not a waste Vegeta, Mother's Day is the day you can show your wife that you really care…Besides, wouldn't Bulma be mad if you don't get her a gift?"

The Saiyan Prince took a few moments to mentally go over the pros and cons of forgetting about the stupid earth holiday. Of course Bulma had given him the usual "Oh, you boys don't have to get me anything." And of course, she had the usual look in her eye that said, "And if you don't get me anything, I'll whip out the flamethrower and toast your Saiyan ass." Analysis: Not going along with stupid female human holidays can be hazardous to your health.

"Oh fine, what have I got to lose? I'll go along with your stupid holiday."

At that moment, Gohan flew in from his afternoon of crime fighting, and was still in his Saiyaman uniform.

"Hey everyone! Shouldn't you guys be sparring?"

"Well normally, Vegeta and I would be attempting to rip each other's throats out, but Sunday is Mother's Day, and no one has a gift yet, or any money."

Gohan breathed a sigh of relief. At least his father had consulted him before getting a gift this year. He'd never forget his father's last gift to his mother: A NEW FRYING PAN. Honestly, Goku was one of the most thoughtful, innocent people you might know, but not the brightest…

"Don't worry dad, we'll think of something. And I already have a solution to our money problem. My school is having a carnival tonight, and they need volunteers to help run the place. Are you guys interested?"

Reactions:

Goku - : )

Goten - : D

Trunks - : D

Vegeta - _

Of course, Vegeta didn't want anything to do with this, but if he didn't go along with this, Bulma might decide to borrow Chi-Chi's frying pan, and give him a couple whacks.

Not even the Prince of all Saiyans can escape the supremacy of the frying pan.

Gohan grinned, (Son style of course) "This is great! That's five people earning money at the carnival, that means…" He stopped as a familiar sinking feeling plagued his mind when he realized what he had just done.

'Five people, five Saiyans, pain, explosions, death…MY SCHOOL IS DOOMED.'



Okay that's it for Chapter One everyone! Didya like it? Didya? Didya? I'd really like some reviews! Thx
