As Gohan and Videl approached the quaint little house nestled in the large forest, they saw two blurry streaks racing across the sky. Gohan called out to them and was tackled by the smaller streak when he tried to land.
"Hey Gohan, guess what I did today? First, I found this really neat bug but Mama screamed when I tried to show her so . . ." Goten continued rambling, not aware that his brother was trying to get up with him still seated on his chest.
Gohan picked the still talking Goten and himself up and walked over to where Videl stood. " . . . and then Dad said that I had to take it outside but the birds would have gotten it, so I put it in a safe place and then it couldn't breath so I had to move it to . . ." Goten continued on for some time, until he noticed Videl. "Hey Videl!" He hollered and hopped out of Gohan's arms. "Mama said that if you keep coming over then she'll have grandchildren in no time- " Gohan clamped a hand over his brother's mouth while he blushed a bright crimson.
Videl blushed slightly at the thought and then noticed Goku landing just next to his sons. "Hey Gohan!" He called out just as Chi-chi stepped out of the house.
"Hello Videl. It's so nice to see you again. Would you like to stay for dinner?" Chi-chi asked, all the while thinking about how many grandchildren she's like to have.
"I would love to Chi-chi. Thank you."
"You boys go get cleaned up while Videl and I chat."
Two yes Mom's and a yes dear was heard as the guys made their way around to the back of the house to get cleaned up. Videl followed Chi-chi into the house where her nostrils were assaulted by the delicious smells of various foods.
"Wow, that smells good Chi-chi."
"Thanks Videl. I try to make sure they enjoy it even if they hardly even taste the food as it goes down." The two women chuckled at that, both having witnessed the boy's voracious appetites.
Just then the guys came back in and Videl looked at Gohan questioningly.
Gohan just looked back at her for a minute before his food filled mind remembered the letter he was supposed to give to his parents. He took the letter out of his pocket and quietly said, "Mom, Dad, I am supposed to give you this."
He held out the letter and Chi-chi took it, Goku looking over her shoulder. "What did you do Gohan?" was Chi-chi's immediate question.
"I didn't do anything. I don't know what it's about."
Chi-chi opened the letter and read:
To Whom It May Concern:
I request your presence at a parent-teacher conference to discuss the academic standings of your son Gohan. Please meet me in room 107 at 3:00 p.m. Friday afternoon. If this time is inconvenient, please call (123) 555-7890.
Mr. John Schwab
Chi-chi stared in horror at the letter as she read it. "What did I do wrong?" She whispered.
Goku just looked at the letter and sat down, waiting for dinner to start.
"Where did I go wrong? Am I a bad mother? I tried to always give you the best. The best books, the latest technology for studying, and I even sent you to one of the best schools. How could this have happened?" Chi-chi continued on for some time.
"Mom . . .mom please?" Gohan tried to stop Chi-chi's rambling but she wouldn't stop. Gohan started to bang his forehead on the table, hitting it harder each time. Videl watched the entire scene, unsure of how she could help the poor boy.
After five minutes of rambling, Goku and Goten looked forlornly towards the kitchen. The food was so close and yet so far away. Five minutes later, Goku tried to get Chi-chi's attention, but she couldn't be stopped.
Will Chi-chi ever stop? Will Goku and Goten starve to death? Will Gohan get a headache or break the table? Find out in the next exciting chapter of Parent-Teacher Conference.
