Dragon Ball Z: Alternate Directions Part 2

The House:

Getting up in the morning was a little difficult for Gohan, he had barely slept as he stood and went to the Bathroom. After several minutes he returned to his room and dressed. Glancing at the Clock he noticed that he had six hours before his date with 18, his second date. He still had no idea what a second date entails, dinner and a movie was not something that he figured to repeat until maybe the fourth or fifth date. If there was one. Picking up his Laptop he queried a search for second dates. Smiling he read over the different types of second dates; from going to a carnival to other types of events that allowed someone to be with a person in a social environment. He knew that there was a Carnival at Satan City, the city named after Hercule Satan the supposed hero of the Cell Games. "Pompous ass." Gohan muttered as he decided. That would be a perfect second date, checking his pocket he saw that he still had a lot of the money that Bulma had given him. She had refused to consider it a loan. This time he would just tell his mother he was going to go and check to see the New High School that he would be attending next month and determine how long it would take him to fly there. Smiling he went to breakfast.

Chichi his mother questioned him relentlessly about why the Killer Android had come and what she wanted to talk to him about. He was vague with his answers as he ate heartily. Then she commented that he seemed a little pleased and happy this morning. Which he shrugged off. After Breakfast Gohan went outside to exercise and train and Goten joined him. An hour before the date he showered and told his mother that he was going to Satan City to check on the time and the school and he should be back around ten pm. She sputtered at first that it was a little late to be out, then recanted because he was showing indications of wanting to go to High School after all. Flying high into the air he landed on the Bluff, thirty minutes early. He did not have to wait long.

As 18 landed she smiled at Gohan. He stood still and she thought a moment, neither knew what to do. Do they just acknowledge each other, do they kiss or just go on the date. Stepping closer. "Good evening Gohan." She said then threw caution to the wind. Standing on her toes once more she put her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a hello kiss. They stood there for several minutes touching their lips together and 18 felt her pulse quicken. She liked this and if this what he had in mind for the date she did not mind. As they parted he smiled at her.

"Good evening 18." He said as he kept his arms around her, holding her close to him. He smiled down at her as she returned the smile. Reaching up to kiss him again and she decided that it was time for a little more. Slipping her tongue into his mouth she twirled and twisted it around his. They continued this for several minutes and as they parted slightly. "Ah should we go, I thought I would take you to a Carnival." He made no move to release her. What she wanted to do was instead fly north, take him to her temporary lodging and have sex until the morning. But she knew it was still too soon for that. Swallowing she blushed and released him as he removed his arms from around her.

"I am ready, I have never been to a Carnival." She said as she took his hand and interlaced her fingers with his. Holding his hand tightly as they took to the air. It only took thirty nine minutes to reach the outskirts of Satan City. As she looked at the huge display of the overbearing and loud Hercule Satan she grimaced. "Self Gratifying Asshole!" She said as she looked at the idiot's picture. "It is not right, Gohan. You defeated Cell, not that moron."

"It is alright, I did not do it to get glory or recognition. I did it to save Earth." He said as he smiled and gave a short chuckle. Flying on they headed for the bright searchlights of the Carnival. But as they neared it, the sounds of gunfire echoed up to them. Looking down Gohan could not quite make out what was happening.

18 stared down and used her optical sensors to see. "It looks like a the Police and some Criminals are shooting at each other. The Police are outgunned, the Criminals have automatic firearms." She stated.

"We should help the Police." Gohan turned Super Saiyan and she shook her head, but followed him down to the incident. It took them less then thirty seconds to disarm and knock the seven Criminals unconscious. They then both flew off and Gohan returned to normal. "Did anyone see us?" He asked as he retook her hand, interlacing his fingers into hers.

She immediately scanned the scene and nodded. "Due to the energy field there are at least three of them that observed you. I would surmise that I was undetected." She then smiled at him. "That was actually entertaining and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I wonder if we can do something like that again." He nodded and smiled as well.

"You know what, that was fun. But let us go to the Carnival, that will be just as fun." Flying onward the two made their way close enough to land unseen and walk into the Carnival.

Landing her Jet Chopper, Videl rushed forward ready and willing to help the Police with the Criminals. Running up to the Lead Office. "What have you got?" She asked excitingly. Glancing around feeling the thrill of being able to use her power and skills in a real life situation.

"Sorry Videl, it is all over." The Officer said as he gestured to the Criminals now handcuffed and ready to be transported to jail. "Some glowing blond headed man came and helped."

"What?" She said with aggravation. "What Blond Headed Glowing man?" She had just arrived and no one could leave that quickly. The officer looked a little confused on what he had seen.

"He flew off in that direction." He pointed eastward towards the search lights of the Carnival. She glared east and then back at the officer, she had seen anyone flying a vehicle as she arrived and nothing was that fast. She would have seen another vehicle, when she mentioned that the Officer shook his head. "He did not have one, he actually flew without one. You know like Superman." Seeing the anger rise from Videl he quickly walked away.

Storming back to her Chopper she ranted and raved, someone was infringing on her territory. She was the Crime Fighter here and some weird idiot was doing her job. Returning to the Carnival to rejoin her friends she continued to fume. Determined to find out who it was and let him know just how she felt.

At the Carnival, Gohan held 18's hand and they walked through the semi crowded place with smiles on their faces. Stepping up to one of the Games, Gohan pulled out a single and put it down on the table. The Game was called bulls-eye and the object was to take a barely sharp dart and hit the red center of a target. Smiling, Gohan threw the dart into the center with perfect accuracy it hit the center and bounced out. "What?" He said as he saw the Game Owner Smirk at him.

"It has to stick into the center to win." The man aid as he picked up the single and chuckled. Flopping another single on the table, Gohan took another dart and added a little more power into the throw. The Dart impacted and went completely into the red center. The man stared then grimaced, stepping over to remove the dart but could not remove it. With anger and frustration he rang the bell. Then with no enthusiasm handed Gohan a Stuffed Teddy Bear. "We have a winner." Gohan took the bear and handed it to 18. She stared at it with curiosity.

"What is this?" She asked as she looked at the bear. Hefting it.

"Oh, when you go to Carnivals you try to win these from these Games and normally you give them to those with you. In this circumstances I give it to you, it is sort of a memento for this occasion. Something that will remind you of this." Gohan explained and 18 looked at it with more enthusiasm, hugging it close to her.

"So it would be normal if I give you a kiss and tell you that I love it." She said with a small smile, getting on her toes and kissing Gohan lightly on the lips. Then retook his hand and they moved on. First getting some Carnival food and then trying some of the rides. To her amazement she found the whole experience entertaining and fun. Some of the rides though did not make any sense, the Ferris Wheel for Example. Either of them could fly ten times higher then the seated ride could ever reach. But she did enjoy the privacy that it ensured. With his arm around her she snuggled close to him, mimicking some of the others in other seats. Gazing up at him with sparkles in her eyes as he looked down at her. When the ride ended. "Can we ride on that again, I enjoyed that immensely."

"Maybe later, why not try some other rides." Gohan gestured to the others and she saw the one that she really wanted to go on. The Tunnel of Love.

Videl landed her Jet Chopper and grudgingly hit the switch to turn it back into a capsule. Picking it up and then stalked towards where her friends were enjoying the Carnival. Seeing Erasa smile as she approached. Sharpner was to busy looking at the numerous girls that walked by him. "You are back faster then I expected." Erasa said as she handed Videl a candy apple. "What happened?"

"I do not want to talk about it." Taking the candy apple and began to eat it. Glancing over at Sharpner who was staring at a Blond woman and a Dark Haired Man about their age heading for the Tunnel of Love.

"Wow." Sharpner stated then glowered as he saw who the girl was here with. "What would a hotty like that want with a bozo like him? Maybe I should go and see if she wants to be with a real man." He gloated as he smirked at his two friends. His eyes lingered on Videl and he gave her his most cunning smile. Then he frowned, Videl was also staring, but at the Dark Haired boy.

Feeling her palms sweat she could not help but stare at the boy. "He is cute, isn't he Videl?" Erasa asked as she also looked at the Dark haired boy. Videl felt her cheeks begin to warm as she quickly looked elsewhere.

"I do not know what you are talking about. Besides it looks like he is here with someone." Videl said to Erasa, seeing that Sharpner had adjusted his sights onto a blossoming red head with huge melons. She felt a tinge of regret as she looked back at the boy holding the blond girls hand, as they climbed into a railed car and entered the Tunnel of Love ride. There went her delusion that perhaps they were not together romantically. As she watched the blond girl snuggle up to the boy. With a little aggravation she stopped watching them. Secretly agreeing with Erasa, the boy was cute. "I am going home, see you guys later." Videl walked away, her mind still on the boy.

Inside the darkened ride, 18 looked up at Gohan who was looking at her. His arm was around her and she reveled in it, reaching up she gently pulled Gohan down and she kissed him. Immediately slipping her tongue into his mouth, twisting and twirling it around his. She began to breath heavily through her nose as she kissed him. Taking her hand she ran it down to touch his inner thigh, rubbing it. He did as well and she moaned inside his mouth as he ran his hand up and down her inside thigh, stopping just at her skirt. She wanted him to go further to inside her skirt and maybe inside her panties. They continued to rub and touch each other but not to the sensitive areas as much. Towards the end of the ride she took his hand and moved it up so he could touch her small peaks. When he caressed and rubbed her shirt covered top she moaned deeply in his mouth, inhaling sharply. The Lights came on and they stopped. Getting off the ride, 18 felt her knees wobble slightly. She knew if the ride had been ten minutes longer she would have given in to her urges and taken him not caring if anyone saw them. "Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yes. I just regret that the ride was not longer." She replied, smirking up at him seeing that he did not fully understand. Retaking his hand and they went to enjoy some more of the Carnival. Two hours later the pair were flying back towards home, his anyhow. Landing they kissed again, but not as passionately as they had in the Tunnel. She had to control herself, as she began to breath hard through her nose and he held her tightly to him. As they parted she had to depart or she would not be able to control herself.

"What would you like to do tomorrow night, your choice?" He asked as she smiled mischievously at him, she knew exactly what she wanted to do and since he was leaving it to her she was going to plan out the entire rendezvous. "That is if you want to go out again."

Continuing to smile she nodded. "I think I might be able to think of something. Perhaps something simple and private." Giving him one more kiss, she floated off and headed for her temporary dwelling to the North. In the morning she would need to find a local store, there were certain items that she required to get before their next date. Streaking north she felt nervous and excited at the same time. Her research indicated that the third date was acceptable for something that her body and her mind craved.

Gohan watched her depart and smiled, he could not believe it he was falling for her. He no longer believed that she was seeing him for some sinister reason. Exhaling he flew down to his house and walked into the door. It was barely ten o'clock. His mother sat at the kitchen table waiting for him. "So did you see the School and find out how long it takes you to fly there?"

"Yes Mom, I also looked it over thoroughly. Then I went to the Carnival for an hour or so." He admitted but did not add that he had gone with anyone, or that it was a date. His mother Chichi frowned and shushed him.

"Not so loud or Goten will want to go to the Carnival and that is quite a distance to go for one. Especially since neither of us can fly." She said sternly, then smiled. "Are you hungry, would you like something to eat." She did not ask too loudly in fear that Goten might overhear and decide that he was hungry. Shaking his head negatively, Gohan bent down and hugged his mother, telling her goodnight then went to his room. Lying bed all he could think about was 18, and how he liked being with her. After two hours he quietly sneaked out of the house and went far enough away to exercise. Running, Shadow Sparing and even changing into a Super Saiyan. Pushing his limits trying to exceed Super Saiyan one. Wanting to go beyond. Finishing and feeling tired, he flew back to the house. Showered and went to bed, exhausted.

At dawn, 18 arose and looked around the Temporary Dwelling. Exhaling she went to the closet. If she was going to have a guest here later, she could not have it look like she lived in a hovel. Removing a bucket and some sealed rags, she filled the bucket with water and soap and began to clean. Scrubbing everything and everywhere. Finishing she wiped the sweat off her forehead and face. Grabbing the sheets and blankets off the bed, she flew over to the local Laundry Mat and stuffed them into the washer, along with her clothes that she had worn the last couple of days. As they washed, she went to the store and picked up the items that she required for the date later. Finishing drying the clothes and bedding she headed back to her Dwelling. Five hours had passed and she only had eight hours to finish cleaning and making the place not look like a total disaster. Thankfully Gero had not put a lot of furnishings inside the two room house. A bed with mattress, a Refrigerator, Stove, Table with two chairs and a couple of dressers. One hers and one her brothers. The under the Refrigerator was where the Money that Gero had left for them. Putting some of the items that she bought away, she wondered if there were other hidden places that Gero put Money for them at. The man was a psychopath but he generally thought of everything. Deciding to look later, she checked her internal clock. Three hours and she would meet Gohan for the third date. Taking off her dirty and soiled clothes from hours of cleaning, she stepped into the shower and washed. Enjoying the lukewarm spray on her. Taking a long shower, she moved to the mirror to make sure her hair was perfect and then she went to put on her clothes. Picking up the exceedingly short skirt that would catch his attention she smirked. Also putting on the revealing shirt. Debating to undress and take off her underwear, wondering if that might be too obvious that she wanted something more physical tonight. She still had an hour so she removed her panties and looked at herself in the mirror. Checking to see if some distinct movement showed that she was not wearing panties or not. Finally she decided it might be better to wear panties, again she did not want to appear to anxious or obvious. Stepping outside she floated upward then streaked towards where they had met twice before. The rendezvous location on the Bluff. Checking her pocket to make sure there were three items that she picked up earlier, just in case they did not make it back to her place. "Better safe then sorry." She muttered, then smiled increasing her flight speed.
