Chapter 3

"Okay everyone, were going to do the same thing as yesterday, but you only have to run 2 miles, and 25 push ups and sit ups." 17 said grudgingly. The class was confused and Videl asked, "Why did you cut back?"

He sighed. "My wife got onto me yesterday for making you do so much."

This made Gohan snicker, and the whole class turned to him, making him blush bright red. 17 glowered as him. "You can run three miles Mr. Son."

This made Gohan go pale and mutter a few choice words under his breath.

Then it hit one of the students, "Wait, your MARRIED?"

"Yes. Why does it matter to you?"

All of the girls started to sniffle, sad to know that their hunky gym coach was tied down, making 17 irritable. "Start. Now." 17 snapped at them, and they all scattered.

Once again Gohan and Videl were the first two done with their push ups and sit ups. When they started their run, Videl told him that she would run the 3 miles with him.

"You don't have to Videl." Gohan told her.

"Three miles is nothing. Don't have a cow over it."

Gohan sighed, "Fine."

And they continued their run in silence.

They were still done with everything before everyone else, and when they came back to the gym, they saw Emily talking to 17 with Clair running in circles around them. That is, until she saw Gohan.

"UNCY GOHAN!" She shrieked and ran, tackling him to the ground in a hug.

He groaned as his head hit the hard floor. "Nice to see you too, Clair." Emily giggled and said, "Clair, be careful! You could hurt yourself."

Gohan glared at her. "And what about me?"

She gave him a Look. "Why would I care about what happens to you? Your much bigger than her. You can take a hit to the head."

Videl looked from Emily to Gohan. "You know," she said, "I think you two are the weirdest people I have ever met."

Emily looked flattered. "Why, thank you Videl."

Gohan gave her a Look. "I don't think that was supposed to be a compliment Emily."

"But to me, it is one."

Gohan shook his head. He turned to Videl and said, "You don't know what weird is."

Videl raised an eyebrow. "I don't?"

Emily giggled. "Nope. I know people even weirder than me."

Videl's eyebrow went higher. "Weirder than Erasa and Sharpner?"

Emily shook her head. "They're just blonde, not weird."

"What's the difference?" Asked a confused Videl.

Emily smiled. "They're ditzy, my friends are weird."

Then Gohan smirked. "Hey, since your blonde, does that mean your ditzy or just weird?"

"Do you even need to ask?"

"Yes, because sometime you act ditzy, but mainly your just…. Wait, never mind."

"Mainly what?" Emily asked, glaring at him.

Gohan turned very pale and said, "Well, both."

Emily smiled brightly, "Duh!" She giggled, and Clair, Videl, 17 laughed with her.

Gohan pouted, "Why are you set on making me look stupid?"

"Hey, you kinda make it easy." Videl said.

Emily turned to her and said, "He does! But no matter how many times I tell him, it doesn't get through his thick skull."

Then the rest of the class dragged themselves into the gym, and actually saw their teacher smiling over something, and they all stopped in shock. When 17 noticed them, his smile turned to a scowl, and the bell rang, signaling the end of the day. Everyone ran to the locker rooms, trying to comprehend what they had just seen.

When they were all gone and only Clair, Emily, and 17 were left, Emily started to giggle insanely. 17 looked at her like she had grown three heads. "What's so funny?" He asked.

"They were *giggle giggle* so petrified *more giggles* at seeing *giggle* you smile!" After she got this out, she collapsed on the ground, clutching her stomach and rolling with laughter.

This made 17 confused. "And why is that funny?"

"I don't know!" She gasped out before laughing again.

This was how the class saw her as they came out of the dressing rooms. They started to mutter things like "Who is she?" "Why is she laughing?" "Could she be Coach's wife?" "No way! She's to young!" and "Damn she's hot! Is she single?" The poor, unfortunate soul that said the last one receive Chichi Death Glares from both Gohan and 17, but he did not notice, or he would have pissed himself.

After a moment she seemed to realize what was going on, and got up, still chuckling to herself. "I got to go. Come on Clair." She said, taking the young child be the hand. She then turned to 17. "See you later, and don't forget about dinner!" As she walked out, she heard people muttering thing like, "Who the hell is she?" "Oh my gosh! Do you think that kid was hers? She looks so young!" "I do think she is the Coach's wife!" "No way!" and "Seriously! Does the world not want me to get a date?" Everyone stared\glared at this person, who had thrown his hands up and shouted it.

Emily chuckled as she walked out of the door with Clair in tow. He's going to have one hell of a mess to fix. I'm so evil to him, She thought with a smirk then giggled.

Back in the gym, 17 was being bombarded with questions that he did not want to answer. He was trying to get them to be quiet when Videl stuck two fingers in her mouth and let out a loud, high-pitched whistle. The whole class stopped and 17 spoke to Videl. "Thank you Videl." He turned to the rest of the class, "If you have a question, raise your hand." Almost every hand shot up, and he randomly pointed at someone.

"Was that your wife?" the girl asked.

17 sighed. "Yes, she is my wife." He was dreading the next question she knew the girl was about to ask. Tell them I'm 17, not 18, since I would be if I hadn't spent that year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Emily told him telepathically.

"How old is she, and how long have you two been married?"

17 cringed, knowing what the responses would be. "She's 17, and we've been married for about three years."

This got a few 'aww's but a lot more shocked gasps. One brave person yelled out, "Why the hell would you marry her when she is so young?" This earned a chorus of 'yeah!'s .

17 sighed again. "Look, we can talk about this later, don't you want to go home or talk to your friends?"

They all stared at him. He growled, "I you don't leave right now, I will hold you here until 6 o'clock and make you run the entire time!" At this all their eyes widened and the couldn't get to the door fast enough. All that remained was an amused Gohan who looked at 17 and chuckled. "Good to know she's not just evil to me."

17 shook his head. "What has that woman gotten me into?" He muttered under his breath.

~A Little Later That Day~

Videl, Erasa, Sharpner, and Gohan were walking around the mall. Erasa wanted to go, and told Sharpner who would follow her like a lost puppy, and had convinced Videl to go, who had dragged along a very reluctant Gohan. With my luck I'll run into Bulma or someone else I know and then be interrogated by Videl about how I know them, he thought with a sigh.

Back in the 439 mountain area Emily heard this, and an evil grin came onto her face. She turned to Chichi, who she had been visiting. "Hey, Mom, want to go to the Satan City Mall with me?" Chichi looked confused for a second and was about to ask where the sudden invitation came from when it hit her. Chichi looked at her only daughter with a raised eyebrow, "Are you dead set on making your brothers life miserable?"

Emily smirked. "Hey, I did it for the first 15 years of my life. Its hard to let go."

Chichi sighed. "What's he doing there anyway?"

Emily's smirk grew. "Oh, he's just there with a couple of girls…"

Chichi's eyes lit up at this. "What are you waiting for? Grab Goten and we can use your Instant Transmission to get there!"

And that's exactly what they did.

Back with the teens, Erasa had just let out a large squeal and ran into a dress shop. Videl and Gohan groaned, and Sharpner got images in his head. Erasa poked her head back out of the store. "Come on guys!"

Sharpner went in, but Videl and Gohan hesitated. "Uh, Erasa, were going to keep looking around," Videl said.

Erasa pouted. "Aw! Come on Videl! Please?"

Videl sighed. "That's not going to work this time Erasa. I don't like dresses, and I bet Gohan here would faint if he saw you in a dress."

Erasa sighed in defeat. "Fine. Go on you two love birds." She went inside the store, leaving Videl and Gohan staring open mouthed and beet red at where she had just been.

Videl shook her head and looked around, her face slowly cooling off. She spotted a Martial Arts equipment store and her eyes lit up. She ran to it, dragging Gohan behind her. As soon as they walked in, there was a shriek. "UNCY GOHAN!" Clair said, tackling him again, causing Chichi and Emily to laugh and Gohan to groan.

Emily walked over to them and picked up Clair who was currently strangling Gohan from her hug. Videl just stood there, wondering why Emily would be in a martial arts store, unless… Her eyes lit up, but before she could ask her question, Gohan said, "What are you doing here?"

Emily looked at him with confusion in her eyes. "Why do you ask dearest brother? I only came to see if I could get something for Clair."

Videl stared at Emily. "Brother?" she asked, sounding like she was the one who had been strangled.

Emily's eyebrow went up. "Yeah, are you okay Videl? You don't sound too good."

Videl shook her head. "How is it even possible for you two to be related? You look absolutely nothing alike!"

Emily and Gohan sighed and said in unison, "Haven't we heard that only about a bazillion times."

Videl Looked at them. "That was creepy."

Emily chuckled. "Maybe it's the twin telepathy at it again."

And it was at that moment Goten decided to make himself known. "BIG BROTHER!" he yelled and jumped on Gohan, knocking him over once again.

Gohan sighed and muttered, "How many times in one day can one person be knocked over?"

"Apparently, a lot of times," a grinning Emily replied.

Gohan just rolled his eyes and Chichi cleared her throat. Five heads turned to her. "What is your lovely friends name, Gohan?" she asked sweetly, making Gohan pale and glare at Emily. You knew this would happen, he told her telepathically.

Of course I did. She want more grandchildren, and I don't think I could go through that again anytime soon. Emily replied.

It couldn't have been that bad.

I'd love to see you have a baby kicking your stomach for months then push it out through a 10 centimeter hole. Oh, wait, you're a boy and you wouldn't know what we women go through. So shut up and answer Mom.

During their conversation, Gohan had continued to glare at Emily while she stared at him, holding in laughter. Chichi cleared her throat again, making both of them look at her sheepishly. "Well, uh, this is Videl," he said motioning to her. "Videl, this is my mom," motioning to Chichi.

Videl sweat dropped, blushed, and bowed slightly in respect. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Son."

Chichi shook her head. "Its nice to finally meet you Videl. But call me Chichi. And I've heard so much about you from Gohan." At this Gohan blushed bright red and sputtered, "N-no I haven't!"

"Gohan! Don't be so rude!" Chichi exclaimed.

"Then you want him to lie? He's only mentioned Videl once or twice. I think I talked about her more then Gohan," Emily replied. Then she seemed to realize who she said that to and she wearily turned to her mother.

Chichi only glared for a minute before putting on a bright smile and turning to Videl, who starting to get creeped out by her. Just a little. No, Chichi was really creepy. Just saying. "Don't mind my son's rudeness. Would you like to come to dinner sometime? I'm a really good cook."

"Mom!" Gohan said shocked.

Chichi turned her death glare on him. "How do you ever expect to give me grandchildren if you never invite a girl over?"

Gohan turned beet red. "MOM!"

She looked at him with a faked innocence. "What?"

Gohan just groaned buried his face in his hands. Emily snickered and Videl had been pale and very quietly looking down since the word 'grandchildren' had left Chichi's mouth. Suddenly Emily looked around then swore loudly, muttering, "You can't take your eyes off of them for one measly second or their running around the mall without you. Stupid stupid stupid!"

Chichi wearily turned her eyes to Emily. "You don't mean…?"

Emily sighed and nodded. "Goten has gone off somewhere and I bet Clair followed him."

Chichi's eyes went huge. "WHAT? YOU MEAN MY LITTLE GOTEN AND CLAIR ARE OFF IN THE MALL ALL BY THEIRSELF? EMILY YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO WATCH THEM HOW COULD YOU?" Chichi screamed at the top of her lungs, which Clair had inherited.

It was at that moment they heard the explosion. Gohan and Emily exchanged glances. They knew Goten wouldn't do anything like this, and Clair hadn't yet been taught. That left two people that they knew, and could possibly be here.

Videl had already
