Gohan and Videl (A DBZ FIC)
A/N: Heya ppl ^_^, thx to those that left reviews in my first two chapters. I wasn't expecting to get reviews so fast (you ppl are sooo sweet!) I'm still a little hyper from yesterday, it must be the leftover chocolate from Easter @_@. N e ways, here's the third chapter. Enjoy!
I don't own DBZ, and if I did...say, wouldn't it be interesting if the Z fighters joined the army? Just a thought.
Chapter 3 Party Preparation
Gohan zoomed up to Dendes lookout, wanting to tell Piccolo the news as quickly as possible. Landing softly on the tiled platform, he ran towards the palace that sits atop the lookout. He almost smacked right into Mr. Popo on the way in.
"Kami Gohan!" Mr. Popo yelped in surprise. "What's all the rush?"
Gohan kept running into the main hall but called back, "Sorry Mr. Popo, but I have news for Piccolo!" With this said, Mr. Popo shrugged, and walked outside. Gohan stopped, noticing Piccolo wasn't in site in the main hall of the palace.
"PICCOLO?! Where are you?!" Gohan called out loudly. "AH!" Gohan spun around when a hand clamped down on his shoulder. "Oh, hey Piccolo."
Piccolo narrowed his eyes in frusturation and rubbed his ear with his other hand. "You...don't...have...to...yell!"
Gohan turned red in the face and looked away, "Sorry Piccolo, but I have news, it's really important." Gohan kept tapping his foot impatiently as if a bomb was about to go off.
"Sounds like it," Piccolo said, letting go of Gohans shoulder and crossing his arms. "Well, tell me about it."
Gohan began to tell Piccolo about the holdup at City Hall and how the man had flown away. Piccolos eyes widened a bit when Gohan told him about how the man had threatened him, saying he would lose something precious.
"Well Gohan, if he were to know who you were, he'd have to be able to read energy signatures," Piccolo said. "As for the losing something precious, keep an eye on your family."
Gohan nodded in agreement. "Well, I'll keep an eye out for that guy and maybe I can stop him next time I see him." Piccolo nodded in agreement as Gohan started out the door.
"Say Gohan!" Piccolo said, taking a step forward. "Before you go, tell me. What was this guys KI level like?"
Gohan thought to himself, and then it dawned on him that he hadn't paid any attention to that. "I...I don't know Piccolo," Gohan said. "I wasn't expecting him to have a high KI level so I kinda...missed it."
Piccolo was silent, making Gohan a bit nervous, like he was expecting the namekian to explode on him. "Hmm, well I'll keep an eye out too, maybe you should look around a bit tonight." Piccolo said.
Gohan shuffled his feet a bit, "Well, I'll try, but I have something to do."
"Oh?" Piccolo raised an eyebrow (well, I don't think he has eyebrows, but you know what I mean.)
Gohan explained how Videl had invited him to her party. Piccolo nodded.
"Well, it's good that your getting out more Gohan," Piccolo said. "Well, have fun and don't let this mystery man situation stress you out. We'll get him."
Gohan nodded, "Well, I'm going to go then."
Gohan was almost out the door when, "One more thing." Piccolo said. "If you're going to wear something fancy, please, don't wear that ridiculous outfit!" Gohans face went red.
"Hey! This outfit is in style! I'm a superhero!" Gohan announced.
Piccolo sweatdropped, "Sure Gohan." [It's ridiculous.] "Have a good time."
"I will!" Gohan said with a smile. Gohan then ran towards the edge of the platform, jumping over Mr. Popo and off of the platform. He flew home the rest of the way. [My outfit is bad?! He wears a turban for crying out loud!]

"VIDEL!" Hercule yelled from the other side of his daughters door.
"HOLD ON!" Videl yelled back, turning down her music. "Okay, come in!"
Hercule opened the door and marched into his daughters room, his shoulders held high. "Now, I understand your party is tomorrow night! Were any of your friends interested when you asked if they'd like to try for a spot in my martial arts school?" Hercule said with a huge grin on his face. He didn't seem to notice that Videl was about to gag.
"Yes Dad, I asked around, but most of the boys said that they wouldn't be able to handle it. They said you're too good of a fighter and it ought to stay that way." Videl said, forcing a smile.
Hercule was silent and then he laughed, "Yep, you kids are pretty smart these days! You all know who the boss is! HAHAHA!" Hercule laughed triumphantely. This made Videl sweatdrop. Her Dad was about to say more but was interrupted when a maid showed up at the door.
"Mr. Hercule? You have a phone call." The elderly lady said.
Hercule looked at the maid and then back at Videl. "Alright, well make sure you tell everyone to behave, and if theres any alcohol they have to give it to me because I will not tolerate that in this house!" With that said, Hercule left the room accompanied by the maid. Videl fell back on her bed and sighed.
"What a buffoon, well at least he's off my back about his stupid martial arts school!" Videl said through a sigh. "And I told everyone not to bring any alcohol, Dad would just take it and get drunk anyways!" Then she snickered.
The truth was, she hadn't asked anybody about her fathers martial arts school. She had just told them to come to the party and have a good time. She just hoped that her father didn't show off tomorrow night. She was happy to be having the party but with the thought of her father embarrassing her in the back of her mind, it was hard to be one hundred percent happy.
"Well, maybe it'll all work out good," Videl said.
Suddenly, Hercule came back into the room. Videl sat up, realizing she left the door open. "What is it dad?"
Hercule sighed, "Honey, I have some business to attend to tomorrow night, so I wont be able to attend your party. I'm really sorry."
Videl could've screamed with happiness but she held it in. "Oh, that's too bad. But, it's not like its a big- UGH!"
Hercule embraced her in a bear hug. "It's okay Videl! I'll make it up to you, I promise! But Daddy's got some important things to attend so you must be strong. You'll be eighteen soon, you're a big girl now."
Videl sweatdropped heavily, "Right Dad, well, good luck on whatever your doing." [Probably going off to make a beer commercial!]
Hercule marched on out of the room, his shoulders still held high. He stopped in front of a portrait of himself and flexed him muscles. "You are the man!!" He yelled to the portrait, laughing his triumphant laugh. He stopped laughing and continued to walk as if nothing had happened.
Videl got up and closed her door slowly. Then she turned her music back up and screamed with happiness. "YES! YES!!! He's not coming! YES!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE THE SWEETEST PARTY EVER!!! HAHAHA!" Videl screamed through her laughter, falling back on her bed. "Oh, this will be great! It's not like anyone will miss my father!" [Well, maybe Sharpner, but oh well.] Videl snickered and picked up the phone to call Erasa and tell her the good news.
****
"What do you mean, a party?" Chi Chi asked Gohan with concern.
Gohan had explained the story to his Mom about the party almost twice now. Once over dinner, and again after. "I told you already, a girl at my school named Videl invited me to her party. It's tomorrow evening, seven o'clock pm at the Satan mansion," Gohan repeated.
Gohans mothers eyes widened a bit, "And you said she is the daughter of Hercule, right?" Gohan nodded. Chi Chi smiled, "Do you like her?"
Gohan hesitated, "As a friend, yes I do." he replied, making Chi Chi snickered.
"Sure Gohan, that's what they all say. Then they-"
Gohan cut in, "Mom! Can you help me pick out something to wear?!"
Chi Chi paused and then nodded. "Sure Gohan, I'll help you out." And with that said, she led him up to her room, opening the closet, where she had fancy looking suits that Goku had once worn at certain special occasions. Gohan felt his insides churn a bit at the thought of his Dad.
[Try not to think about that right now, there's nothing you can do about it.] Gohan thought. His thoughts were interrupted by Chi Chi when she shoved a suit into his arms.
"Try it on!" Chi Chi exclaimed.
Gohan looked over the suit. It was a nice looking white suit but then Gohan noticed a large tinge of orange on the back. "Uh mom?" He pointed to the spot on the suit. Chi Chis eyes widened with horror.
"Oh no! I'm so sorry Gohan! That was from your father at a party Master Roshi threw after we were married. He made quite the mess when he ate." Chi Chi took the suit away. "The spaghetti had too much sauce if you ask me."
Gohans jaw dropped. "How on earth did he get spaghetti sauce on his back?!" Chi Chi just shook her head and looked away.
"Well, you know how he...or, well, how he used to eat." Chi Chi said, her eyes starting to water from memories of her loving husband. [Goku, I miss you so much...]
Gohan decided it was time to shut up. Even though it had been seven long years, Chi Chi still longed for her husband to return as if the event had happened yesterday. Gohan put a reassuring hand on his moms shoulder.
"You go watch TV or something Mom, you've made supper and thanks for helping me out, but I'll be able to manage from here." Gohan said with a sweet smile.
Chi Chi looked at her son, and smiled. "Well, have fun then." Chi Chi left the room and made her way downstairs. Gohan sorted through the suits and eventually found one that he liked.
"Yeah, this'll do." Gohan said, holding a black suit against his body. He closed the door to his Mothers room and tried on the suit. It fit almost perfectly. "Awesome, perfect fit!" Gohan left the room to go downstairs to show his mom. On his way out of the room, he was greeted by Goten. Goten pounced on the unsuspecting Gohan, causing him to fall.
"Hey squirt!" Gohan said standing up and brushing himself off. "What's up?"
Goten bounced around excitedly, "You're going to a party?! I wanna go too! Can I can I can I?!"
Gohan laughed and patted his seven year old brother on the head, "You're a little young Goten. I'm sorry but no, you can't come." [He must've been listening in when I told Mom.]
Goten looked as if he was going to cry. His eyes were beginning to water. Gohan thought quickly to himself.
"Besides, you'll have a lot more fun hanging out with Trunks!" Gohan said in an effort to cheer Goten up. This made Goten eyes brighten.
"What, really?" Goten said. "Are you sure?"
Gohan nodded, "Yeah, the party will just be a bunch of corny music and the only food there will be carrots and celery sticks! It's a vegetarian party! They think eating meat is evil and...well...bad!" Gohan said nodding to himself. [Whew, what a save!]
Goten gagged, "Eww, I hate celery! Okay well, have fun at your party! Or at least try to, because Trunks and I will have lots of fun! Nya ha ha!" Goten stuck his tongue out at Gohan and ran down the stairs, bouncing the whole way. Gohan shook his head and chuckled to himself.
"He bought it, he's so gullible." Gohan snickered and followed Goten down the stairs, minus the bouncing.
Chi Chi stood up and rushed out of the living room. She looked ready to cry when she saw Gohan in the suit. "Oh Gohan! You're growing up so fast! You look like an adult already!"
Gohan sweatdropped, "Uh Mom, I'm eighteen."
Chi Chi narrowed her eyes, "Don't get that attitude with me young man! Now, you may wear that suit to the party but if you don't get your homework done, you're not going! Now up those stairs young man! UP!" She shooed him up the stairs, stopping herself half way.
"Alright, alright!" Gohan half shouted, trying to get his mom off his back. [She must've had a mood shift or something.] Gohan walked into his room, closing the door quietly behind him. Chi Chi marched back down the stairs and into the living room. She sat down on the couch and sighed.
[They grow up so fast...pretty soon Goten will be at that age too...] Chi Chi thought. A few moments later, she drifted off to sleep.

"Okay, so you're in charge of the snacks and stuff and I'll hire the DJ and set everything up here, ok Erasa?" Videl spoke through the phone.
"Okay girl, no problem!" Erasa said with a giggle. "You got all the cute guys comin' there, so yeah I'll take care of the snacks."
Videl smirked, "Alright well, I'll see you at school tomorrow."
Videl hung up the phone and lay down on her bed, staring at the roof. [This party is going to be sweet!] She thought to herself. She glanced at her clock, seeing that the red numbers said 8:57. With almost no warning, she drifted off to sleep.
****
Gohan sat in his room, making sure all his school notes were in order. After getting all his books together for tomorrow, he stripped down to a white shirt and boxer shorts and hopped into bed.
"I can't wait until tomorrow," Gohan said to no one. "This'll be a great chance to get to know Videl better."
Gohan didn't know why he wanted to become friends with Videl. They got along okay, but really they were just accquaintances. He wanted to be more than just accquaintances, I mean come on, he'd saved her life a few times as Saiyaman, so why not become friends? [Heh, I hope she likes the suit.] Gohan looked at the suit, that was hanging in his open closet, awaiting tomorrow. Gohans thoughts started to get unclear and he conked out, despite the fact that Goten was snoring very loudly in the next room, muttering something about ice cream.
****
He was very angry, having to run away from Saiyaman like that. Even if Saiyaman was stronger than him, it was still shameful and humiliating. He knew exactly who the superhero was now, that he knew for certain. The power reading was incredible, it would have been off the scale if the boy had been powered up. There was no mistaking that the Great Saiyaman was Son Gohan.
"Heh, he came right to me, like a mouse goes for cheese," the short man in the black suit said to no one.
He was standing in a dark room, with only a single door. He had been stuck in here for questioning, to make sure that he did his job right. All of a sudden, the door burst open. A figure shrowded in darkness stepped in. His long red hair was noticeable and he wore a black vest and white pants. His shoes were black, with a gold line running down the center. He shut the door and crossed his arms. "I trust you did well today?"
The short man nodded, "I lured Saiyaman there, and yes, just as you suspected, he was Son Gohan. The energy signature was a good match. The second rate outfit hides nothing to us!"
The red haired man smirked and stepped closer, "Yes, but he could be a problem. He was strong back then, he's probably gotten stronger. We're going to need to find a weakness. Have you any ideas?"
The short man took off his sunglasses and wiped them on his suit, thinking to himself. "Well, I was thinking if all else failed, I could just pick off his family, but there was one person. A girl, she's the daughter of Hercule!"
The red headed man took another step closer. "You're serious? The daughter of Hercule?" The short man nodded. "Well then," the red head continued, "We don't need to worry about a fraud like Hercule getting in our way, but if Saiyaman decides to interfere, we will kidnap this girl and threaten to kill her. Then our Son Gohan will be forced to cooperate." He looked down at the short man. "Good work, you will be rewarded for this. Don't fail me next time. Now, I want you to keep a watch on that girl, she will come in handy."
"Actually sir, I have been keeping watch," The short man said. "I was able to find someone to spy on her at her school. Apparently, she is throwing some sort of party tomorrow evening at seven pm. Would you like me to secretly attend?" He waited as the red haired man thought to himself. Running his fingers through his shoulder length hair, the red headed man spoke.
"Yes, that would be a good idea. Try not to attract too much attention though. Grab her and then we'll have control over Gohan." With that said, the red headed man left the room, closing the door. The short man was left to his thoughts.
"Excellent, and I thought this would be hard. Well, I guess I'll have to dress up nice if I'm going to a party tomorrow!" The man said smirking evily. "Nah, the suit I have now will do just fine." He brushed off his suit and sat down, his vision going completely black.

"Well then," the red head continued, "We don't need to worry about a fraud like Hercule getting in our way, but if Saiyaman decides to interfere, we will kidnap this girl and threaten to kill her. Then our Son Gohan will be forced to cooperate." He looked down at the short man. "Good work, you will be rewarded for this. Don't fail me next time. Now, I want you to keep a watch on that girl, she will come in handy."
"Actually sir, I have been keeping watch," The short man said. "I was able to find someone to spy on her at her school. Apparently, she is throwing some sort of party tomorrow evening at seven pm. Would you like me to secretly attend?" He waited as the red haired man thought to himself. Running his fingers through his shoulder length hair, the red headed man spoke.
"Yes, that would be a good idea. Try not to attract too much attention though. Grab her and then we'll have control over Gohan." With that said, the red headed man left the room, closing the door. The short man was left to his thoughts.
"Excellent, and I thought this would be hard. Well, I guess I'll have to dress up nice if I'm going to a party tomorrow!" The man said smirking evily. "Nah, the suit I have now will do just fine." He brushed off his suit and sat down, his vision going completely black.
