Here we are. Another chapter for Surviving Normal. Sorry it took so long but I wasn't satisfied with how it turned out so I decided to rewrite it.

Also a little note that I didn't add at the beginning. Goten already knows how to fly.

Chapter 6. First Visit

Gohan, Goten and Trunks had been playing a training game Gohan had made up for them. It was called shadow tag. The objective of the game was just like any other game of tag. Once you touch one person, they are 'it' and have to tag someone else in order to pass on being 'it.' However there is one catch. The person who is 'it' must be blindfolded, and can not use his eyes. Secondly, no one is allowed to fly. This rule was implemented because it made things even more interesting. The game itself was designed more as a training excersice for tracking someone's energy, but Goten seemed to have alot of fun playing it so it became a regular thing

The trio were playing their game for over two hours until Gohan had to head home and start on his school work. He figured Trunks and Goten would be fine by themselves for a while. Gohan told them that lunch would be in about 2 hours, and that Chi-Chi made is making a lot of food. Excitedly Trunks and Goten took off into the skies to resume their fun.

Between Satan City and the Son house about 2 hours later.

Why does this area look so familiar? Videl thought to herself. Erasa had dozed off into a light slumber soon after they took off from the mall about 2 hours ago. Sleeping soundly, Videl thanked whoever was responsible for the quiet trip, allowing herself to ponder many random things. One thought that she couldn't let go was the fact that the Gold Fighter could fly and shoot lasers like Gohan. Her father said that it was all just a cheap trick, but those guys at the Cell Games could do the same thing. Gohan must have some connection to those people, because she figured Gohan, and whoever was at the cell games must have had related trainers.

Suddenly Videl noticed a small clearing, and a little house situated in the middle. Since it was about the only house in the area, she figured that it was Gohan's house, and if it wasn't, this house would have been close enough to ask for directions. Slowly she set her copter down, and much to her convenience, a sleepy Erasa had awoken.

"Are we there yet?" Erasa asked sleepily, rubbing her eyes awake.

"Seems like it. This was the only house in the past 50 miles." Videl replied. The two exited the vehicle, and were amazed at what surrounded them.

Videl had to admit, it was a very surreal sight. A thin line of trees could be viewed not a mile away topped by beautiful cascading mountains in the background, followed by the clearest atmosphere she had ever seen. Being from the city, the sky was usually always distorted, and couldn't imagine how many stars could be seen at night out here.

Erasa was just the polar opposite. There were no malls, no food courts, no cars, no civilization, and no cute boys. Except for Gohan, if this in fact was where he lived. Erasa would much rather live in the city, but decided to give this a chance.

After a couple minutes of viewing the scenery, the two decided to approach the house.

"Do you think Gohans even home?" Erasa asked. How should Videl know? It's not her and Gohan were married. Small thoughts of what it would be like to be married with Gohan entered her mind, but quickly left as she mentally slapped herself across the back of the head.

"Why don't you knock, and I'll check around the back?" Erasa suggested. Videl agreed as they split off.

Goten and Trunks.

"Hey Goten. Who's at your house?" Trunks asked.

"How should I know?"

"Lets go see."

Back at the Son house.

Videl had tried knocking on the door, but no one answered. She heard a faint buzzing from inside signaling to her that someone was home, but was preoccupied. She didn't want to be rude and start pounding on the door, so she figured once the person inside was done with what seemed like they were vacuuming, she would have to try knocking again.

Erasa on the other hand had found life. She now wished she hadn't.

Videl had given up on the concept of waiting, and decided that since Erasa hadn't returned yet, it was safe to assume she found someone that lived here. She left the front door and headed around back. What she found was quite a sight if you enjoy seeing your life flash before your eyes.

It was large. Very large. Probably two stories tall. The menacing look in it's sapphire eyes, and the way it stood it's ground gave the two the impression it was protecting something. Two large horns spiked the beast's head perpendicular to 2 smaller but still just as dangerous horns sticking out of either side of it's face. It's nostrils flared, and it's massive purplish-blue wings stood erect, giving the beast the impression that it was ready to attack anything that threatened it's territory.

Fear had paralyzed her into standing completely still. Videl had just joined Erasa and when she realized why Erasa was just standing there, her feet refused to move out of pure terror.

The monster had cocked an eyebrow, and stopped growling after seeing Videl approach. It was staring at Videl very intently, not menacingly, but as if trying to figure out who she was. The growling the monster had been making was enough to stir the sleeping person behind it awake.

"Woah! Down Icarus!" The voice commanded. The owner of the voice quickly ran out in front of the massive dragon and stood in front of it. Icarus had grown tremendously over the years. He was now a very large dragon. Almost everything about him had grown. His neck, tail, wings, legs, head, and even his horns grew larger. He had lost most of his fat since he was younger, and now was much more lean. But his face had remained almost as innocent as it had been all those years ago; but that was an easy change once Icarus felt threatened.

Erasa and Videl had a complete turn around in mood from being horrified, to feeling giddy. A shirtless Gohan had turned his back to face the dragon to hopefully quell it's anger, giving the two teenage girls a very nice view of the muscle encased backside of Gohan.

"Down boy! They're friends." Gohan smiled at the dragon. Icarus quickly lifted his head, and tiled it slightly to the side and looking at Gohan for confirmation. Quickly enough the dragon had turned around and curled up under the lonesome tree in the back, and closed his eyes to go back to sleep.

Gohan slowly turned around, revealing his chiseled abs, and very muscular chest and biceps to the girls.

"Sorry about that. Icarus can get a little protective." Gohan chuckled. Icarus had grown a deep affection for Gohan, and in doing so, had been visiting him very frequently over the years.

Gohan had been sleeping before the little interruption. He had caught up on his school work, and decided to take a little nap, and since it was warm out, and he would be covered by the canopy of the tree, he took his shirt off. His head was leaned against Icarus, with books scattered on the grass, and one still on his stomach. He and Icarus hadn't been asleep too long, but the motion of Icarus moving was enough to wake him. That's when he noticed Icarus ready to pounce.

Back with the two girls, Erasa had gotten over her shock. "Oh my gosh Videl! Gohan has muscles!" Erasa whispered to her best friend. "Videl?"

Videl was in a different state of mind than Erasa was at the moment. Erasa was a little more shocked to find this information out about Gohan than anything else. Videl on the other hand was having some very indecent fantasies. She heard someone talking to her, but couldn't seem to make any other coherent thoughts except for the ones about Gohan.

Erasa noticed the blush on her best friend's face, and how she wasn't responding to anything. She seemed completely zoned out causing Erasa to giggle as she realized what was eating at her best friend. Erasa calmly walked over to Gohan to give him a little suggestion.

"You may want to put a shirt on." Erasa said innocently.

"But it's really nice outside today." Gohan said cluelessly.

Erasa then put a hand up to Gohan's ear, and leaned her face in to whispers something in his ear. Instantly Gohan's face turned red as a tomato, and he quickly ran behind Icarus to retrieve his shirt.

Erasa then took a few steps to Videl and whispered something into Videl's ear. Videl did a good impression of Gohan because as soon as Erasa had finished her sentence, Videl turned as red, if not, redder than Gohan, and started to scream at her best friend.

"I was not! I was just scared! He's a stupid jerk! Who cares if Gohan has the sexiest body on the planet!" Videl said a little too quickly before she quickly covered her mouth. Thankfully Gohan was far enough away to where he couldn't understand what Videl was yelling about. But it was Videl. She was always yelling, so he didn't really get too concerned.

Trunks and Goten had snuck around the side of the house to get a look at who exactly was there. Goten's face lit up when he saw who was there.

"Icarus!" Goten shouted. Icarus cracked an eye, and caught a glimpse of Goten before Goten was latched onto Icarus' face in a gigantic bear-hug. Goten soon released Icarus from his grasp and quickly enough Icarus had pinned Goten on the ground, and proceeded to lick Goten senseless. Gohan wasn't the only one that Icarus grew close to over the years.

Meanwhile the two girls had been watching the scene unfold and couldn't help but think of how adorable the scene in front of them was watching the little boy laughing uncontrollably while a gigantic dragon licked him like an ice cream cone.

Trunks joined Goten in greeting Icarus, and also received a lick from the dragon. Gohan by this time had put his shirt on, and came out to say hello to Trunks and Goten, and to see his school friends.

"What are you guys doing here?" Gohan asked Videl and Erasa.

"You don't seem too happy to see us." Erasa said mocking disappointment.

"No, its not that. It's never expected to see you all the way out here."

"You said you would teach me how to fly, remember?" Videl reminded him.

"Oh that's right. Sorry, I've been a little busy this morning." Gohan replied.

"Hey Gohan, who are these people?" Goten asked tugging at Gohan's leg.

"These are my friends from school, Goten. This is Erasa, and this is Videl. " Gohan pointed out.

"Hi! I'm Goten, Gohan's brother!" Goten shouted excitedly. "And this is my best friend, Trunks! Trunks aren't they pretty?" Erasa and Videl smiled.

Trunks approached them slowly. "H-hi. I'm Trunks." Trunks said very nervously, keeping his eyes on the ground.

"Well aren't you a cutie." Erasa squealed patting Trunks on the head. Trunks only stood looking down at his feet, blushing.

Gohan noticed that this was strange behavior for Trunks. Normally Trunks is just like his father. Strong willed, prideful, and cocky. To be shy like this is very strange. As surprising as it may sound, but Goten noticed it too, and tilted his head in hopes to find out why. A little light bulb went off in Goten's head, and being a normal innocent kid, blurted it out loud.

"Trunks likes Erasa! Trunks likes Erasa!" Goten chirped. Much to Trunks' aggravation, he was already trying to give Gotten a face full of fist, but Goten easily dodged his attacks bouncing around, continuing his chant. "Trunks and Erasa, sitting in a tree."

"Get back here Goten! You're dead!" Trunks shouted taking off after his friend.

"They're so adorable!" Erasa squealed.

"Cute kids." Videl replied

"Just wait until they start pulling their pranks." Gohan joked, watching the two friends fight. Goten was just as innocent as hit father.

A fourth person had approached the small group from behind.

"And who just might these two ladies be? Friends of yours?" Chi-Chi asked monotonously.

"Oh hey mom. Ya. This is Videl, and Erasa." Gohan pointed out as the two girls turned around. Chi-Chi's expression changed from an uninterested one to a simple smile.

"You can call me Chi-Chi." The matriarch said happily, reaching her hand out to properly greet them. This strange behavior didn't go unnoticed by Gohan. His mother wasn't one to be too friendly to what she claimed to be 'city women.'

What's mom up to? Gohan thought staring ay his mother.

Another chapter down. Yes, Icarus was the monster, and now he's all grown up just like Gohan. What is Chi-Chi up to? The answer will shock you! Also, Goten is make appearances more frequently, and it is probably going to stay that way.

Semanticist- You say that I am being vague, but everyone seems to follow the story, so I am going to ignore your first comment about changing my wording.

Secondly, you're lecturing me about my writing style like a college professor, but you cannot seem to understand what you yourself are talking about. If you criticize someone, then mean what you say. "I didn't mean to use schizophrenia in a literal sense." seems to me like you're coving your own error. I personally don't care about how much knowledge of the English language you have. I will explain things in my own way. If you would like to write your own story, then you are free to.

If you are confused about something that's relevant to my story then please comment. Lastly, if you are still as confused as you were originally then here is your answer:

Videl is nervous around Gohan because she likes him. Nervousness sprouts into anxiety and anger very easily.
