Hey everyone. Back with another chapter. I don't own DBZ.

Last time...

Gohan rolled his eyes but decided not to argue. The girl was very stubborn when she wanted to be. "Move over," he said, taking the space next to her before falling asleep.

Approximately ten minutes later, they were both jolted out of their slumber as a loud yell echoed through the house, "GOTEN!" Then and only then did Gohan collapse into a fit of laughter.

Another Day of Torture

888

At exactly 7:58 the next morning, Gohan landed on the school roof. He had two minutes to get to Physics class and he was determined he was going to make it this time. He jogged rather slowly to room 301, although to a normal human it would seem like he was running a marathon. He opened the door and was just about to step in when a small force slammed into his back, sending him slightly off balance. Annoyed, he looked back only to find Videl getting up off the floor, rubbing her forehead in slight pain.

"Must you do this every day?" he asked.

Videl only growled at him. "What the hell is your back made of? Titanium?" she muttered walking into the room as the bell rang.

"I thought we'd already established that it was bone and muscle, my dear," Gohan responded, patronizingly.

"Don't call me that! I'm no one's dear!" she retorted spitting the word out like a vile poison.

"Aw! Little Videl just needs somebody to love her doesn't she?" Gohan teased, enjoying the red flare that spread across Videl's face like a wildfire.

"AHEM!" a deep masculine voice sounded.

The two whirled around to see Mr. Tanchi glaring at them, obviously very annoyed that they were delaying the start of his class.

Gohan bowed. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Tanchi," he said, giving the Son grin. "I just wanted to cheer Videl up. She looked kind of angry."

Mr. Tanchi grinned broadly, something unheard of for the strict teacher. "I'm convinced that girl was born with that look on her face. I'm afraid you have your work cut out for you, Mr. Son, just don't do it during my class time."

"Noted, sir!" Gohan responded. "It won't happen again."

The teacher smiled at Gohan as he headed to his seat next to the window before turning his glare on Videl. "Miss Satan, this is your third tardy this week! Don't even bother to mention the police. They let us know when they need your help. You have detention at 3:00 this afternoon!" he bellowed.

Videl bowed her head, inwardly cursing the Son boy for being in her way. She never even opened her mouth to defend herself. She was terrified of this teacher although she would never admit it. Suddenly like a Godsend, someone came to her defense.

"Mr. Tanchi," Gohan said. "I don't think you should give Videl a detention. She walked into the room before the bell rang."

"Are you questioning my judgment, Mr. Son," the teacher said, turning his glare upon the Son boy. To his surprise the teenager didn't even flinch but merely put his hand behind his head and grinned.

"Of course not, Mr. Tanchi," he said. "I was just pointing out a fact you might have missed. You see, it was approximately 7:59:45 when I walked into the door. Videl hit my back at 7:59:47 and fell backwards. By the time she got up it was 7:59:55 and she walked into the door at 7:59:59, ergo, she was early."

Everyone in the room stared at the teenage boy in astonishment. He just grinned back at them.

"And how do you know exactly what time it was?" Mr. Tanchi responded, finally finding his voice.

"My watch, of course," Gohan grinned showing them a complicated-looking watch bearing the Capsule Corp logo.

"M-Mr. Son!" Mr. Tanchi responded. "That is a Capsule Corp watch used only in the military! How do you have one?"

"Oh, my dad designed it so he got me one for my birthday," Gohan responded offhandedly.

"Count yourself lucky, Miss Satan. You're off the hook," Mr. Tanchi muttered. Mr. Son's father was Goku Son, head of the weapons department at Capsule Corporation and former WMAT champion! What was it with this school and attracting important people? It definitely wasn't the level of intelligence of the students. That's for sure.

Gohan sat back down in his seat and grinned to himself as Videl glared at him through the corner of her eye when she thought he wasn't looking. After a few minutes, he waved at her with a smirk on his face, almost laughing out loud when she abruptly turned to the front. He was having way too much fun with this girl.

A few periods later, it was lunch time. Gohan linked up with Erasa and Sharpner, who were literally dragging a reluctant Videl to his cherry tree.

As they sat down, Gohan opened his lunch capsule revealing four plates of delicious looking food. "I asked my mom to make extra so you guys can get some. I will not have my friends eat any more of that crap from the cafeteria. Take as much as you want," he said handing them each a plate.

"I love you, man," Sharpner said as he bit into a delicious sushi roll. "No homo."

"It's cool," Gohan responded with a grin. "Don't you want some, Videl," he asked, staring at the girl who was looking at the meal with a suspicious glare. "Or shall I have to tell my mother you've blatantly rejected her hospitality."

"Videl," Erasa said through her teeth, jabbing her friend in her side. "Be nice and take some food. It's delicious!"

"Fine," she said, drably, taking some food into her plate. She ate it cautiously.

"Videl, believe me. If I wanted to poison you, you'd never know what hit you," Gohan responded, just as she swallowed, setting off Videl's warning bells.

She looked up in alarm and was about to make herself throw up when she saw the amused expression on her nemesis' face. She glared at him. "I hate you!" she growled.

"Aww. I love you too, Videl," Gohan responded, cheekily.

"So Videl," Erasa said, loving this exchange. However, although she knew Gohan could hold his own against Videl, she changed the subject. "What is this I hear about Gohan saving your ass from detention?"

"Where did you hear that?" Videl growled.

Erasa gave a non-committal wave. "Around," she said vaguely. "So what's the deal?" she continued looking at Gohan as Videl obviously wasn't going to give any answers.

Gohan gave a maniacal grin before starting. "Well, Videl bumped into me again this morning," he began, earning a growl from the girl. "Anyway we were talking and then the teacher let me in with a warning and was going to give Videl detention because she was already late three times this week." Erasa and Sharpner nodded. "And it's only Wednesday…" Gohan mused. "Videl, shall I get you an alarm clock for Christmas?"

Gohan dodged as the girl sent a potentially devastating blow to his face. "Videl what did we say about being nice?" Gohan reprimanded.

"Bite me," Videl growled at him.

"You know in my father's culture you'd be asking me to marry you," Gohan remarked with smirk as Videl gave a disgusted look.

"I'd rather eat my own shit," Videl responded scathingly.

Erasa moved to apologize once again for her friend's behavior but Gohan waved her off. "It's ok," he said. "I'm not hurt at all. I want a lady, not a bitch."

Videl lunged for his neck tackling him to the ground while she attempted to choke the life out of the insignificant runt. Sharpner and Erasa gasped in shock. Taking the initiative, the blond boy sprung up and grabbed Videl, effectively lifting her off the dark-haired boy. The teenage boy lay on the ground, gasping for air, but not for reasons they expected. He was actually laughing his ass off!

The three regarded him warily as he lay there laughing for almost five minutes. Unsteadily he got up between fits of giggles. "Wow, Videl that was something my little brother would do. I mean-hic!" Gohan hiccupped.

It was the human students' turn to begin laughing. Gohan had let out the cutest hiccup they had ever heard. Getting in on the action, Videl remarked, "Was that a kitten I just heard?"

Sharpner also egged him on. "Wow, dude! That has got to be the unmanliest thing you have done since you got here!" he teased between fits of laughter.

Gohan sent them a glare as he blushed to the roots of his hair. Payback was a bitch wasn't it? Erasa decided to take pity on him. "Anyway Gohan, how did you get Videl out of detention?" she asked, really wanting to find out how Gohan managed to change the mind of the most hard-ass teacher in the school.

"I pretty much made up some crap –hic-" Gohan started but was interrupted by Sharpner and Videl's loud laughter as he let out another hiccup. He chose to ignore them and continued. "Any way I made up some crap about her being a second-hic-hic- late-hic-and-hic-" By now the two were rolling on the floor with laughter forcing the Son boy to clam up in embarrassment. Instead, he texted Erasa, "I'll tell you later."
