Chapter 7 of What If: Flying Lessons


-The same night as Ereza and Videl's talk-

"Hello?"

"Ereza! It's Sharpner."

"Oh hey Sharpie! What's up?"

"Well I want to know what's up with Videl. I saw you two walking away somewhere." Sharpner said

"Oh that…." Ereza giggled over the phone. "Well I don't think Videl would want me to tell you that Sharpie."

"Oh c'mon Ereza!" Sharpner pleaded, "I promise I won't tell anyone!"

"I don't know sharpie" Ereza said in a teasing tone giggling to herself.

"Ereza!!" Sharpner practically yelled into the phone.

"Haha ok sharpie, I guess I can trust you." Ereza said finally giving in. "Well it turns out I was right Sharpie. Videl told me that she has a little crush on Gohan and..."

"What!?" Sharpner yelled.

"Be quiet and let me finish!" Ereza said. "Now Videl decided to ask me for help on how to handle the matter since I'm the expert at relationships." Ereza said in a prideful tone which made Sharpner role his eyes.

"So….what did you tell her?" Sharpner asked

"Well I told her what to do to see if Gohan likes her or not." Ereza said as if it were completely obvious.

'Uh-oh' Sharpner thought "And what did you tell her to do…?" he asked knowing Ereza's mind.

Ereza grinned to herself. "It's full-proof!"

"What is it!?" Sharpner yelled into the phone not liking the suspense Ereza was giving him.

"Ok, what I told Videl to do is…"

-A few minutes of explaining later-

"What!! Now way! Videl would never do that!" Sharpner yelled.

"Well I convinced Videl that it was the only way." Ereza said in a forceful tone not liking how Sharpner didn't like her awesome plan.

"No!" Sharpner yelled again.

"Now Sharpie, remember you said you wouldn't tell anyone right?.." Ereza asked but Sharpner had already hung up.

'Crap' she thought.

-

"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!"

"It's true sir." came the voice of Sharpner.

"I WONT ALLOW IT! NO WAY IN HELL IS MY DAUGHTER GOING OUT WITH SOME WEAKLING!!!" Mr. Satan yelled into the phone. "I'LL BE HOME ASAP!"

A small grin formed on Sharpner's face. "I'll meet you at the airport."

-

Videl woke up the next day with a better attitude than the previous day. She had decided to take off school the rest of the time until the tournament to train and of course, all of her teachers understood.

But that wasn't the only reason Videl felt better about today. Thanks to Ereza, Videl had a game plan on how to finally tell if Gohan had feelings for her and now it was time to try it out. Sure it wasn't something she normally would do, but Ereza was right, it seemed like she had no other choice. If she didn't do something, she would never get him out of her head.

Videl was up at the crack of dawn ready for more lessons on how to fly. She quickly showered, got dressed, and ran downstairs to get something to eat. Once that was taken care of she was out the door, into her jet copter, and on her way to Gohan's

-

Gohan woke up thanks to Goten jumping on his stomach once again.

"Let's go Gohan! I wanna start our training!" came the chibi's voice.

Gohan let out a huge yawn. "Wow Goten, I can never slow down with you around can I?" Gohan said chuckling a bit.

"Nope!" Goten said giving him a big smile.

"Ok, I'm up. Go have some breakfast and ill meet you in the kitchen in a little bit." Gohan said while getting out of bed.

"Ok!" Goten said as he ran off towards the kitchen. Instead of taking a full shower, Gohan just quickly washed his hair knowing he would be very sweaty in a little bit anyway. He then got dressed in his usual blue gi and then proceeded towards the kitchen where he found Goten already scarfing down hi breakfast.

Gohan laughed "You can't even wait for me?" he asked Goten.

"Sorry" Goten said in between bites. Gohan just let it pass and got some breakfast of his own.

While Gohan was eating, he thought about what his mother had told him about his situation with Videl. 'Let's see, mother told me to just be myself because Videl already likes me… still how can I be sure?' he pondered while scarfing down his 5th bowl. 'Well I guess I'll just worry about it later seeing how she is still at school.' He concluded

The two brothers had finally finished their breakfast. "Ok, ready Goten?" Gohan asked smiling at his little brother.

"Ya!" Goten yelled jumping out of his chair. He started running towards the door when he heard a knock.

Both Gohan and Goten looked at the door curiously but it was Gohan who reacted first thinking of who it could be. 'No way, she has school doesn't she? It couldn't be her could it?' he thought a little worried.

"Who could that be Big Brother?" Goten asked looking up at Gohan.

Gohan looked down at Goten "Only one way to find out Goten."

Goten nodded and then went up to the front door and slowly opened it. He only opened it a crack so that he could peep through the crack with one eye to see who it was without himself being seen.

Gohan leaned in a bit to see if he could get a quick peek of who it could be too when all of a sudden the door was flung open quickly by Goten and slammed into Gohan's face knocking him on the floor.

"VIDEL!!!" Goten yelled smiling up at Videl.

Videl gave a big smile back to the chibi. "Hi Goten!" she said. She then looked over to see Gohan on the floor holding his face in pain. Videl gave out a small chuckle. "You ok there Gohan?" she asked

Gohan quickly got over the pain when he saw who was standing in the doorway. "Videl..?" he managed to get out.

This made Videl laugh. "Were you expecting someone else? How can you get visitors often when you live all the way out here?"

Gohan ignored her joke and was quick with his next question. "But aren't you supposed to be at school?"

"Oh, I took the rest of school time off to train for the tournament. The teachers don't care seeing as I have saved the city so many times." She said giving a prideful smile.

"Well isn't that nice" Gohan said putting his hand behind his head and giving a small chuckle. 'Looks like I'll have to deal with this sooner than I thought' Gohan thought.

"Ok, let's go Big Brother!" Goten said coming over to Gohan and starting to drag him through the door himself.

"Ok ok Goten" Gohan said pulling his arm away from his younger brother and rising to his feet. Gohan then looked at Videl, smiled, and putting his hands on his hips, said "So, you want to give flying another try?"

"Oh Videl! I've gotten really good! Watch!" Goten said running out the door and jumping up into the air.

Videl watched as he did loops and curves in the air. She then turned to Gohan and asked "so will I be able to fly like that?"

"Well, it really depends on the person I guess, but ya, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to fly like that after some practice." He answered.

Videl's eyes lit up as she imagined herself doing cartwheels and summersaults in the air. "Well then let's get started!" she said

Gohan laughed. "Ok then, let's go!" Gohan walked over to Videl and gingerly picked her up to fly to the usual training spot. 'I've already carried her a couple times, why am I still so nervous about it?' he thought. He soon tried to shake the thought as he rose into the air and yelled after Goten to follow them.

Videl held on to Gohan's neck the whole way and in her mind she was thinking of the plan Ereza had told her about and how she was going to go through with it. Unfortunately, it seemed like she made no clear decision as Gohan was already lowering himself to the ground and setting her down.

Goten landed soon after. Gohan looked over at him "Goten, I'm gonna work with Videl so…" he started

"Ya I know, go play somewhere else right?" Goten finished the sentence for him.

"Ya…sorry Goten, I'll make it up to you." Gohan said winking at Goten.

"OK!" he said "But I'm gonna hold you to that promise!" he finished while turning around and running after a frog that caught his eye.

Gohan turned back to Videl who was looking at Goten. She looked back at Gohan and said "I'm sorry that i'm taking time from you and Goten." With a frown on her face.

Gohan rubbed the back of his head. "It's ok; I spent the whole time with him while you were at school." Gohan started "And thereafter." He finished. Then with a quizzical look, he asked "I thought you would come by after school yesterday. Where were you?"

'Oh that's right, I was talking to Ereza for a long time that I forgot to let Gohan know that I couldn't make it…but I can't let him know that was the reason.' She thought. "I had some stuff to get done with after school and homework to do seeing as I wouldn't be at school for a while since I was training." She said.

'I guess that makes sense seeing as she will be taking a long absence from school' Gohan thought. Gohan then let out a big smile "Ah I see, so I'll have a lot to make up wont I?" he laughed

Videl let out a sigh after seeing her fib worked. "Nah, you'll be fine since you have a high A in every class" she laughed.

Gohan laughed too. "Are you calling me a nerd Miss Videl?" Gohan said jokingly.

"Maybe" Videl said playing along.

They each shared a nice laugh. Then Gohan decided it was time to get down to business. "So are you ready Videl?" he asked

"Ya" she said as she got into her 'serious' mode.

"Then let's begin from where we left off." He said.

-

"OUTA MY WAY!!!" came a loud voice barging down the airport terminal. "WHERE DOES THIS KID LIVE!?" the voice asked the boy who was leading the way.

"I looked it up in the school directory. He lives out at Mt. Paozu." Sharpner said.

"THEN LET'S GO BEFORE WE ARE TOO LATE!" Mr. Satan said as he pushed people out of the way.

"Yes Sir" Sharpner said with an evil grin. 'Videl, you will be mine.' He thought.


OOOOO!!!!!!! man so much is going on! Gohan knows Videl likes him, but what will he do about it!? What is the move that Ereza told Videl to make!? and will she be able to do it! Will Sharpner and Hercule get there in time to stop her if she does!!!??? OMG!!! So exciting!!!! lol. Tune into the next chapter to find out!
