*~Videl~*

It was a beautiful morning at the hotel by the tournament, and all of the competitors were awake.

We'll, ALMOST all of them...

After taking his shower and getting dressed, Gohan decided to wake up his girlfriend, who was having a match in three hour's time. Prepared for the worst, he brought along several ice packs, but they weren't for Videl.

Working up his courage, he approached her with the same caution someone would use to disarm a bomb with. As he approached her, he said softly "Videl, wake up. It's Eight o'clock right now."

Getting no results, he said in a slightly louder voice "Videeel, wake uuuuup." He was rewarded with an annoyed grunt.

'Last try' Gohan thought.

He then said "Well I guess this means I can eat your breakfast, I mean, you clearly don't want any." In an instant, she woke up and said, In a voice that would strike fear even in Vegeta "You stay the HELL away from my breakfast"

After seeing Gohan rolling on the floor, laughing his ass off, Videl gave Gohan a good reason to use one of his icepacks In the form of a massive bruise on his head.

After her rude awakening, Videl got went into the shower and afterwards, got dressed while inside the restroom. After sue got out, she saw Gohan hold the icepack up to the bruise already forming on his head.

"Well, since it looks like you can handle it now, let's go get some breakfast. And don't you even DARE touch mine." Videl told Gohan, holding out her hand to help him up while giving him the Satan Death Glare (tm).

Laughing nervously while whipping out the Son Pose(tm), Gohan said "Don't worry, I won't touch it, but I can't say the same about my dad, Mirai doesn't have the courage to, and Vegeta isn't here yet, so that means more for us!"

As they made their way to yet ANOTHER victim-err, buffet, Videl asked Gohan, who was starting to pick up the scent of waffles, what he thought her match with Mirai would be like.

"Well, you have the upper hand in strength and skill, but he has more experience. He'll let you win, because we need the strongest of us to fight Bojack, so just treat this as a regular spar. I'll be rooting for you." And with that, he proceded to stuff his face, staying away from both the bowl of bacon, which Goku was currently attacking, and Videl's portion of the food, which she was devouring. Mirai didn't care who ate what, though.

After breakfast, Videl stood up and eyed the clock. "Huh, we still got about an hour and a half left until the match. I'll go and do some warm-ups. See you in the match, Mirai." And with that, she left to warm-up.

*~Gohan~*

'I wonder where Vegeta got blasted off to?' wondered Gohan. He knew Vegeta wouldn't be too injured from such a 'small and pathetic blast' as he had said before. 'But he does have expirience with that though. I mean what are the odds of him getting blasted off twice in a battle against my dad.' he thought, chuckling at the mental image of Vegeta holding onto the beam for dear life.

'Now, where's Videl?'

*~Later~*

An hour after breakfast, Vegeta came stumbling into his hotel room. He was covered in scratches and bruises, and was bleeding from his hands. A very surprised Bulma was in the room taking care of the four year old Trunks. Mirai had gone out to warm up.

Recovering from her surprise, Bulma charged at Vegeta, Wrench of Doom (tm) in hand, seemingly appearing from nowhere, and said, in a voice dripping with venom, "Now, WHERE THE HELL WHERE YOU, AND WHY HAVEN'T YOU COME BACK UNTIL NOW!"

Now normally, Vegeta didn't fear 'the Woman's wrench', but with him being as injured as he is, he decided that pulling a 'Vegeta' right now would land him in major pain. Pain that he couldn't handle in his current state. So he did the one thing Bulma would never have expected from him.

He cowered in fear.

Seeing the state of her husband, Bulma finally noticed all of his injuries. Of cource, she was still pissed, but for now, he needed medical attention the 'old fashioned way'. A Hospital.

If he was anything like Goku, he would be terrified of needles, but with him acting normally, he wouldn't show it. Now though...

As she grinned evily, she said "Now, let's get you fixed up, MY way..."

Vegeta gulped.

*~Gohan~*

Gohan was laughing with Videl after telling her what he witnessed during the whole exchange with Bulma and Vegeta. "I was on my way to see you so you could stop training and get ready for the fight, when I saw an interesting sight."

"What did you see?" Asked Videl, wondering what happened that he would need to tell her about.

"I saw Vegeta on the floor. Cowering in fear of Bulma."

"... Vegeta?"

"Yes"

"On the floor?"

"Mmhmm"

"Cowering in FEAR?"

"Yep."

"..."

"..."

"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Both of them were currently rolling, clutching their ribs while laughing their ass off.

Hearing the sounds of laughter after his warm-up, Mirai walked up to them. Curious, he asked "What happened to my dad that's got you rolling on the floor?"

Finally calming down, Gohan grinned at him, and proceded to tell him the same thing he told Videl.

"...my DAD, afraid of her so much, he's cowering..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The sounds of their laughter were heard throughout the island.
