The Young Ones pt1: Is It Love?

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the DBZ characters okies?? Good!!

A/N: This is set after "What Can I Do To Make You Love Me?" It is about six months after the last fic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wow Gohan! It's…gorgeous!" Videl said gob smacked. "Thank you so much!" She put the silver diamond bracelet on her wrist and gazed at it. She then gave Gohan a thank you kiss.

"It isn't even half of what you deserve darling." Gohan said as Videl blushed. They finished off the food at the restaurant, paid and left for a walk in the park.

"I can't believe it's been six months that we've been together. It went by so quickly." Videl commented but Gohan shushed her.

"Let's just savour the moment." Gohan said as he put his arm around her. **I could stay like this forever.** They both thought.

Monday morning…

"Videl phoned me last night. I swear I thought she had sniffed something funny. She was sooooo high! She kept on saying sentences in one breath and it sounded like she was jumping all over the place." Natalie commented running her fingers through her long auburn hair, which had grown double the length it was before.

"I know what you mean. Gohan was the same way, although I can definitely say that he was jumping around." Nicholas laughed. Although Nicholas and Natalie had broke up soon after they had gotten together they still remained the best of friends. "Speak of the devil…"

"Hey guys." Natalie greeted them.

"Hey!" Videl and Gohan replied.

"Okay, first off that was cute but now it's just scary." Nicholas commented as they both gave him a death glare. "See what I mean?"

"Aw leave em alone, you're just upset coz you don't have Davie to harass anymore. Speaking of which…" Natalie said. She pulled something out of her bag. "This is from Finch. I got it this morning."

"How come he only sends you letters?" Gohan asked.

"They live next door to each other. That's why he can remember the address." Nicholas laughed.

"Here is what it says:

'Dear gang and Nicholas, I am having a good enough time as you can have at an ivy league school full of rich and snooty kids who Natalie is someday gonna make them bankrupt when they don't pay their taxes. I miss you all, yes even you Nicko, but there is some good news. We break up two weeks before you do so I'll be there for the summer.

Yours jokingly

Finch.'"

"That's great! Now we can have the full gang just like it used to be!" Nicholas shouted.

"Calm down Nicky! Hey where is Lindsey?" Videl asked.

"Dunno. Guess what, I've also got some news." Nicholas said.

"What's that?" Gohan asked.

"You know how we have to take English? Well now we don't. Our teacher had a nervous breakdown."

"How come?" Videl asked. Nicholas and Natalie looked at each other knowingly and smiled.

"Oh no reason. Anyhoo, instead of English we have to take Drama." Nicholas concluded.

"Oh wow! That should be fun!" Videl says. Natalie went pale.

"THERE IS NO WAY I AM DOING DRAMA!! YOU'D HAVE TO TAKE ME THERE KICKING AND SCREAMING!!" Natalie screamed.

"What's up with her?" Gohan asked.

"Well there was this one time in fifth grade…" Videl started but Natalie covered her mouth.

"One word and you'll be balder than Shaq." Natalie threatened and walked off muttering about all the injustices of the world. Lindsey walked up to the guys.

"What is up with her?" Lindsey asked.

"She just found out what the sub is for English." Nicholas replied.

"Oh!" Lindsey laughed. Gohan took a second or two to look over Lindsey.

**Saaaay! When did Lindsey get so hot? Dude! What are you thinking?! Your girlfriend is right there!! On the other hand it can't hurt just to look down her…STOP IT!! DARN MY TEENAGE MIND!!**

"Gohan? Are you okay?" Lindsey asked.

"Huh? Why wouldn't I be? I'm just fine!" Gohan replied hastily.

"C'mon. We better find Nat before she burns down the auditorium." Nicholas said.

"She wouldn't do that!" Gohan replied.

"Gohan, you don't know our Nat." Videl replied linking her arm with his.

Drama class…

"Good morning class!" Mrs Layton chirped.

"For you maybe." Natalie replied. Mrs Layton decided to ignore the remark and got straight to the point.

"Since you are taking this class for the next three months I have decided that we are going to produce a performance which will be a remake of a famous story. Everyone will be graded no matter if they are the leading role or the stage manager. Based on today's lesson I will conduct the necessary decisions. Any questions?"

"Yes. Is this going towards our final grade?" Gohan asked.

"Yes. If you don't pass then I'm afraid you'll be held back." Mrs Layton replied. Insane crying was heard from Natalie as Videl and Lindsey tried to calm her down.

"I'll pair you up then. Summers and Bennington." Mrs Layton said as Natalie laughed at Nicholas' misfortune. "Campbell and Ford." Her laughter soon stopped. Gohan got paired with Lindsey and Videl got paired with Joe.

**This is just great (!) I think that fate is working against me, how can I be attracted to someone else when Videl is all I want? Or maybe not…oh I dunno! I guess I'd better talk to somebody about…** Gohan thought but his thoughts were interrupted by Lindsey.

"Yo! Earth to G-man! Are you okay? You seem really spaced out." Lindsey said as Gohan went hot under the collar.

"No, no, I'm just fine!" Gohan replied laughing nervously.

"Class I want you to make a small improvisation in the next 40 minutes. It should be something short and sweet." Mrs Layton said.

"You mean like Fruit Roll Ups?" Nicholas asked.

"No, they're long and tasty!" Videl said.

"Ah…"

"And…begin!!" Forty minutes came and most of the class had done their piece. It was now Nicholas and Ashley's turn. They sat facing each other as if one was in jail and the other was visiting.

"So how's life on the inside treating you?" Nicholas asked.

"Crap."

"Oh, how's the food?"

"Crap."

"You know what you look like?"

"Cra…hey!"

"I'm sick and tired of you and your crap. If you can't deal with it then I'm leaving you."

"Fine."

"Was that it?" Mrs Layton asked.

"Yup!" They both replied.

"What do you call it?" Mrs Layton asked, sweat-dropping.

"The Crap Life?" Natalie suggested as Nicholas gave her the evil eye. Mrs Layton finished writing up some notes and then came to a decision.

"I have decided on the famous story that we're gonna mess about with." Mrs Layton said. "Now it may be a bit ludicrous…"

"Is it the Clinton-Lewinsky affair?" Gohan asked.

"Dude, not a story." Nicholas replied. "But I'd bet that you'd like to be Mr Clinton, yes?" He said in a French accent. Gohan blushed. Mrs Layton continued.

"We're going to do Alice in Wonderland but of course more modernised and less special effects. From the notes I got from your English teacher the best people to re-write and direct this play would be…Ms Campbell and Mr Summers."

"WHAT?!" Ashley yelled. "That's not fair!!"

"She said that they had the most active imaginations and twisted sense of humour." Mrs Layton continued.

"I'm tellin ya Nat, this is her last punishment onto us! I told you we shouldn't have put those talking monkeys in her trunk." Nicholas whispered.

"Well she shouldn't have embarrassed us like that, should she?" Natalie whispered back.

"They will be in charge of story, editing, cast and music. Of course all final decisions will have to go through me. There are 13 people in this class so make sure you have enough parts. I want a first draft by next week." Mrs Layton concluded, Natalie and Nicholas face faulted. The bell rang. "See you next week."

"If Finch were here he'd be dying right now." Lindsey laughed. Nicholas just winced.

"I'd be careful if I were you, Natalie might make you a toad or something." Videl replied.

"Wait a second. I have the power to change the whole frickin play." Natalie said.

"Great. You've started her off now." Nicholas muttered.

"I HAVE THE POWER!! YES!! YES!! MWAHAHAHAAA!!" Natalie yelled evilly.

"Oh boy. Shoot me, stuff me, mount me." Nicholas muttered.

**I don't wanna jinx anything but knowing my luck I'll have to be Prince Charming but without my princess. I'll probably end up with Linds.**

To Be Continued…
