Quote of the day: "Well! Excuse me for being a mere mortal!!" ~ Duo Maxwell

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

Gohan stretched his muscles but then stopped. Mrs Layton had finished explaining and introducing the play. The curtains went up. Toni, who was playing Gohan's mother, was already on stage knitting. Gohan walked on dressed in a pair of jeans and a button up white shirt. All the girls in the audience started cheering and Gohan blushed. He walked up in front of Toni.

"Mom, can I go out?" Gohan whined. Toni looked up at him.

"Heeeellls no Alex! You haven't cleaned your room, washed the car, mowed the lawn, cleaned the kitchen, done the laundry and you still haven't beaten the rug out of the window!" Toni said all in one breath.

"But…we don't have a rug!" Gohan complained.

"BUT we have a window." Toni replied. The audience started laughing. Gohan stomped his feet.

"OH THAT IS SO UN-FAIR!! I HAAAAAATE YOU!!!" Gohan yelled, stomping up the stairs a la Kevin*.

"Kids these days." Toni muttered as the curtains closed. They opened up again to see Gohan in his bedroom. He was attempting to open the window. He succeeded and jumped out. Then there was a long scream coming from Gohan.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEEELLLLPPP!! I MIGHT AS WELL TRY MY LUCK!! HHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! NO GO? WHYYYYYYYY MEEEEEE?? AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

The audience was howling with laughter. Gohan landed in a big haystack. When he got out he saw a kid come out of a peaceful sleep. Gohan looked at him strangely. The kid (Joe) looked at his watch and grabbed his hair in panic.

"Aw man! I, like, totally so do not believe this!!! How could you let me sleep?!" He shouted at Gohan.

"Well I didn't know who you were. Call me 'unusual'." Gohan said sarcastically. The kid ran off and Gohan followed him. Because the stage didn't have enough room they had to run around the audience.

"Say kid, where are you off to?" Gohan asked.

"What are ya, some kind of L7? I'm going to the royal palace dude!" Joe replied.

"What for?"

"Uh hello! To learn! That's where my education is stationed. Heh, a rhyme." Joe said as he ran back on stage. "OH NOOOO!!!"

"What's up?" Gohan asked.

"Dude, where's my car??!" Joe asked. The audience started laughing.

"Wait a sec. Are you accusing me of stealing your car? I just got here! I don't even know where I am!!" Gohan yelled.

"You're in Wonderland bro." Joe said running off again.

"I'm in Canada?!" Gohan asked, bewildered. He took off after Joe.

"Not the amusement park square! The kingdom that belongs to that babe Princess Charlie."

"Her name's Charlie?!"

"Hey! It's an authorized girls name."

"Even so…" Gohan tripped over something and landed on stage. The curtains shut again and Gohan was 'unconscious'. A guy (Tommy) was standing over him, or should I say 'buzzing' around him. The guy got bored and poked Gohan in the head with a stick. Gohan woke up with a start and stood in a fighting stance. Tommy looked at him strangely.

"Sorry, reflex." Gohan said as he stood normally again. "Who are you?"

"I'M VERY GLAD YOU ASKED THAT. VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY GLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADD!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" Tommy exclaimed while jumping around Gohan. He poked Gohan in the chest. "My, my! You work out dont'cha big boy!" Gohan blushed.

"You still never told me who you are?"

"I'm the high hatter."

"High hatter?"

"Yes, because I be high! Very pleased to meet you!" Tommy exclaimed, shaking Gohan's hand vigorously. Gohan laughed nervously.

"Could you tell me where the Princess lives?"

"Well why would you want to see her when you could stay with me?" Tommy asked.

"Uh…huh. Thanks for the offer but I need to see her. She may be able to tell me how to get home."

"To that cow you call your mom." Tommy muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Could you please tell me?"

"Well alright! Since you're such a cutie. See that castle."

"Yeah."

"She lives there."

"Oh, thanks dude!" Gohan said running off stage. Lindsey appeared behind Tommy.

"Is that the boy you bought for me?" Lindsey asked.

"Yup. How is he?"

"Good enough. Sure is cute. Soon he will be mine." Lindsey said as the curtains closed. Goten, who had decided to help out Gohan, walked along the stage until he reached the middle. He held up a sign that had INTERMISSION on it.

"Go eat!" Goten yelled. A range of "aw" came from the audience. Goten walked off stage. Nicholas paced around backstage.

"What's the matter with you? This is your idea, I should be nervous." Natalie said, trying to sit down in her costume. She was wearing a big round thing to make her look fat. Nicholas was dressed in more or less the same clothes.

"What if I was wrong?! What if this is all just some idea that's gonna go straight down the tubes and make us look like fools!" Nicholas cried. Natalie went up to him and slapped upside the head. "Thanks, I needed that."

"No problem. Now let's go have some fun." Natalie said, with an evil gleam in her eye. Nicholas shuddered. Fifteen minutes later intermission was over. Goten came on stage and held up a sign that said END INTERMISSION.

"Stop eating!!" Goten yelled, he pointed at Goku. "That means you tousan!" The audience started laughing as Goku blushed. The play continued. Nicholas and Natalie were already on stage in front of what looked like a castle door.

"Hi, I'd like to go inside." Gohan beamed. Natalie and Nicholas looked at each other and started laughing. Gohan looked confused, seriously, he had no idea what was going on.

"You can't go inside without a pass from us." Nicholas stated. Gohan raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?" Gohan asked, going along with their ploy.

"You must produce us with a tune of some kind or you have to sing a song!" Natalie smiled. Gohan face-faulted.

"NANI?!" Gohan exclaimed.

"That's right boy. We want a tune! We are dead bored here. I mean really dead. Deader than Elvis." Nicholas said. Sniggering could be heard backstage. Gohan sighed and tried to think of a plan. His face brightened as he pulled a mobile phone (or cellular phone for NA peeps) and searched for a tune. He got the Mexican Hat Dance tune and gave it to them.

"Ah! You have done well Grasshopper. You may enter." Natalie said bobbing her head to the tune. The curtains closed again and re-opened. Gohan walked on and saw Videl at the other end. He never got to see her in her costume but she looked beautiful to him. Even though the costume was a pink, fluffy marshmallow dress. (A/N: o_O) Gohan walked up to her and kneeled but fell down. This was not part of the play and Videl started laughing, she regained her composure and pointed her staff at him.

"Who are you boy, and what do you want?" Videl boomed. Gohan started fumbling.

"I'm sorry, um Miss Princess, Madam Majesty? I was wondering if you could help me."

"Why would I want to help you?"

"Um…um…me love you long time?" Gohan asked unsure. The audience laughed. Videl blushed (genuinely) and leapt into his arms.

"I thought you'd never say that gorgeous!" Videl said planting a big one on Gohan as the curtains shut. A "get off the stage lovebirds!" was heard and the audience laughed. The stage opened with Lindsey storming onto the stage. Nicholas and Natalie were dancing around a Mexican hat to the mobile tune.

"Hey!" They finished with a pose. The audience applauded. Lindsey grabbed Nicholas by the collar.

"LET. ME. IN!" She gritted. Natalie shook her head.

"You must sing a tune."

"Fine. LLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" She yelled in the highest pitch she could reach. Piccolo, who had come to see Gohan perform, fainted because of the pounding of his ears. Lindsey ran to where Gohan and Videl were.

"Get your hands off him you witch!" Lindsey yelled.

"Look who's talking!" Videl shot back. A rimshot was heard off stage.

"I want him for me!! You always get the best things in life!! I want him!!" Lindsey yelled.

"Too bad, because he's mine." Videl stuck out her tongue.

"Great. I'm being stalked by a couple of goofballs!" Gohan muttered. Both girls' gave him an evil look and continued fighting. David, who was backstage, shook his head.

**Sometimes I wonder if Nick and Nat are psychic! Let's see if he listens to my advice.**
