So, that day after class was over Videl invited Gohan over for dinner tomorrow under the pretense of having introduced all of her friends to her dad in this manner. Gohan, knowing that his mother wouldn't want him to miss out on an opportunity to hang out with friends his own age and that she'd hit him with her heavy duty frying pan if he did refuse, agreed to have dinner with Videl and Hercule. Then he headed off for home.

Chi-Chi of course, was ecstatic that in her mind Gohan had finally gotten himself a girlfriend. Gohan taken aback by this, though unsurprised that was the reason why she had insisted that he go to a public high school instead of continuing being home schooled, blurted out his suspicions as to Videl's offer: "First off, she's NOT my girlfriend. Secondly, Videl said that she introduces all of her friends to her father this way. Not only that, I heard talking to Erasa during class today. This is all just some plot of hers to find out more about me. What if she realizes I'm Saiyaman? Videl already has suspected from day one that I'm the Gold Fighter! It is bad enough that she won't leave me alone when I'm Saiyaman, but now she won't rest until she finds out about Gohan Son, the high school student too!"

Chi-Chi took one look at the distressed face of her eldest son and said, "Calm down. I'm sure it's not as bad as all that, Gohan. Go have dinner with this Videl and her father. Be civil and polite, but don't answer any questions that you feel you shouldn't. Try to act normal too, alright?"

Gohan glanced once at thee frying pan his mother held in her hand and nodded.

Videl on the other hand was having trouble convincing her father to allow one of her friends, who was a boy, over for dinner.

Hercule Satan, Videl's father and as he liked to remind everyone, the man who had saved the world from Cell, was of an average height , had a large black afro and a handlebar mustache, and wore as per the usual a brown gi with a black belt. Upon hearing that Videl had invited a boy over for dinner he started yelling with his already booming voice: "How many times have I told you that you are NOT allowed to have boys come over?"

"But Dad, you let Sharpner come over and he's a guy. Plus no matter how many times I tell him I don't like him like that, he won't take NO for an answer!," Videl argued back.

"That's because he's one of my pupils and Sharpner knows I would crush him like a bug if he tried anything. And look at this list of food you want to be served at dinner tomorrow! It's enormous! This friend of yours will eat us out of house and home, if he can really eat all of this!"

"This is not a fair argument and you know it! Nobody can beat you; that's why I've NEVER been on a date or had a boyfriend before!" at these words Hercule puffed up with pride," Plus Gohan'd never even heard of you until he came to our high school."

At that Hercule appeared crestfallen for a moment, but then brightened as an idea hit him, "Well then, we can't let this poor friend of yours remain ignorant about the world's greatest hero. Now can we, Videl? You can have him over for dinner, but I don't want to hear ONE word about you dating this Gohan Son."

Videl as she went off to make the arrangements for tomorrow's dinner murmured to herself, "I don't want to date him, just find out what it is he's hiding."

After giving instructions to the household staff, Videl called Erasa to figure out the best way to interrogate Gohan. When she was done, Videl leaned back in her bed and thought to herself: "The plan is finally in motion."

* Just a note about the spelling of Sharpner's name. It's spelled wrong in the first chapter. From this chapter on it will be spelled correctly (I looked it up!), for anyone who really cares about that over much, I'm sorry for the incorrect spelling in the 1st chapter.*
