DONT OWN DBZ. LAST UPDATE FOR A FEW DAYS. FOR REAL THIS TIME
Videl had been ignoring Gohan for a great deal of time while he went to talk to Eighteen. They currently set outside on the porch, while Videl laid underneath her trying to figure out how to head home.
"I told her I was sorry, though!" He had a glass of lemonade, and was sipping gently at the tart drink while talking in hushed whispers to the blonde. "I didn't mean to, and now she is even more mad. I don't even know why she was mad to begin with! I was just trying to help out!"
Eighteen, sighed and thought back on the last hour. Videl had stormed off to try and leave the island, when to her misfortune, her vehicle refused to start. Upon further inspection, it was revealed that Gohan had accidentally dropped it on very large rock and busted the fuel tank open, had managed to crack the bottom frame, and misaligned the steering, so she was essentially stuck. And for some reason, the landing gear was nowhere to be found as well.
It also didn't help that Gohan offered to carry her back to her house. She blushed hard enough that Eighteen thought steam would leak out of her ears like a steam train, and punched him in the nose for that one.
Now here they were, in a conundrum. Videl was stranded and upset at Gohan, Gohan was upset that he had upset Videl, and both were refusing to talk to each other.
The blonde woman elbowed Gohan in the ribs, and pretended to be irritated. "Gohan, just teach her how to fly. If she wont let you tale her home, than she can go home herself. Krillen will be home soon, and you're going to want to be gone by then, cause I haven't seen him all weekend."
Ever the innocent one, Gohan responded with a confused tilt of the head. "What does that have to do with anything?"
Eighteen states at him and simply said "Roshi's in Paris."
"Oh yea! Are him and Oolong having a good time in vacation?"
"...You're a moron sometimes, Gohan." The Android sighed before pushing him off the porch, much to Gohan's annoyance. "Look, just teach her how to fly, and go beat up Vegeta to make her happy."
"Why do you want me to train her so badly?" He asked, suprising Eighteen. She hadn't expected him to be as observant.
"She's a friend, and you broke her vehicle," she said quickly. "Personally, I think Chichi would have you buy her a new plane as well. She raised you better than this, Gohan." She had managed to get Gohan's attention off of the topic and took delight in his horrified face as he though of the punishment his mother would surely have given him.
He sighed, before relenting. "You're right. I'm just afraid she is going to end up blowing our cover." He stood up and looks out at the girl struggling to find any possible way to fix the broken plane. "We've hid the Z Fighters for years, and if the media starts asking questions..." He trailed off before walking over to Videl.
Eighteen watched on in interest, as the scene played out again.
"Hey Videl... If you want, I can teach you how to fly, so you won't need a jet anymore?" He stood slightly out of her arms reach, in case she reacted bad.
Fortunately, she didn't move much, just slightly shifting from her current position of being bent over the hood. She tried to hide her interest, but couldn't deny that it would be amazing to know how to.
"Can you also teach me those laser ki things you did?" She spoke quietly trying not to seem interested.
Gohan fidgeted for a minute before carefully replying. "Well... I've not taught anyone before... And I honest to Kami can't teach you how my master did... Uh, I guess I can try teaching you how my dad learned? It will take a few weeks though."
She was visibly downtrodden, as she realized she didn't have a few weeks to spare. School resumed the next day, and the police needed her help... not to mention what her father would say.
"... Does it really take a few weeks? I have school, and my dad will flip if I go missing."
She was suprised as Gohan just laughed. "Don't worry," he said with a smile. "In sure Shenron could help out. He'd probably enjoy an easy job for once."
"Is Shenron another super powered friend like Veggi-"
He cut her off with onr hand, and corrected her. "Vegeta. Call him Veggie to his face and he will probably break your spine with one hand." She visibly paled, starting to begin to believe he could if he was anything like Gohan. "And to answer your question, no. Have you ever heard of the Dragonballs?"
Eighteen was inside Kame House calling the West City scrap yard, asking about prices of Jet Copter parts, specifically landing gears. After calling Krillen, while the two teens were fighting she had snuck around them and loosened the bolts before off removing them. The landing gears were now hiding it in the closet of her and Krillen's room. She also found a sharp rock and bashed in a few things that looked important-ish places it under the plane before looking around to see if they had noticed. As she predicted, they were too busy fighting like an old Saiyan married couple.
Always have a backup plan at the ready. Videl now only had one way to get home: Gohan.
Let me know how it is!
