Yay! Another night at 'Ol Miss is over and I'm back to work on my fic! Sorry again about that last chapter, but here is some more work for:
Gohan's Story of DragonBall
OR
How to Tell the Woman of Your Dreams You're a Space Alien
"That's right!" Videl said. "Saiyans turn into big wereapes during the full moon! But, how was there a full moon during the day? And didn't Master Roshi destroy the moon all those years ago?"
"Well, yes he did. What actually happened is that Vegeta created an artificial moon out of pure energy. My dad no longer had a tail, so he couldn't transform, but Vegeta did and could. We eventually stopped Vegeta by cutting off his tail. He was no longer a wereape, but he still was very powerful and there was no way we could defeat him while my dad was injured. That is, until I looked at the false moon."
"You see, I still had my tail back then." Just then, Hercule butted in to the conversation.
"You had a tail? What kind of freak are you?"
"DAD! Don't talk to Gohan like that! Remember, I told you! He's a half Saiyan!"
Gohan looked at Videl appreciatively, then continued on, ignoring Hercule. "Well, like I said, I still had my tail back then and I transformed into a wereape. Let's just say I started to crush Vegeta, that is, until he tore my tail out by the roots. While he was busy doing that, Krillin nailed him, and then my still huge body fell on him, crushing him."
"Somehow, though, Vegeta was able to get up still. He was only able to summon his ship and run away from Earth, but he survived, nonetheless. Excuse me, sir, do you mind if I order dessert?"
"Uh, no, you may, Gohan," Hercule replied. Gohan waved a waiter over and ordered two apple pies.
"Two pieces of apple pie, on the way."
"No, sir. I want two whole pies."
"Uh, okay...two whole apple pies. Anything else?" Videl and Hercule shook their heads. The waiter was obviously beginning to get used to Gohan's appetite, so he said "Will that be all, or would you like a half gallon of ice cream so your pies can be a la mode?" Gohan shook his head.
"No, just the pies are fine. I'm trying to eat light today." Hercule, the waiter, and even Videl facefaulted at that one. "What?" Gohan just smiled his naive little grin and then continued his story.
"Well, after that, we collected ourselves. My dad was badly hurt and Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, and Chaotzu were dead. And, with Piccolo dead, so was Kami, and that meant the dragon balls were gone, too."
"Dragon balls?" Hercule asked, "What are they?"
"Oh, that's right. I didn't tell you, did I, Dad? Well, they are magic orbs that, when brought together, grant the user a wish. They were made by Kami, then the Guardian of Earth. They could only be used once a year, too. Am I right, Gohan?"
"Yep, that's about it," Gohan replied. "We didn't know exactly what to do at the time, only that we had to find a way to bring them back. During the fight with Vegeta, we had learned a few things, though. First of all, we had learned that Piccolo and Kami were Nameks. Nameks were a race from another planet who guarded and protected life, and they are the original creators of the dragon balls. And, it was said that a set existed on their planet. So, we decided that we should go to Namek to use their set."
"Ah! My pie!" With that, Gohan slammed down his food and stood up. "Ah! That was good! Shall we go, then?" Hercule left money for the bill and the three walked out. They got back into the car and returned to the Satan Estate. When they arrived, Hercule excused himself before telling Videl to be back before too late. Before he could get away, though, Videl yelled after him.
"Dad! Why are you leaving? Don't you want to hear the rest?"
"Videl, I think I've heard enough. You can go if you want, and you aren't grounded anymore, just be back before too late and no more skipping school on dates. You got that?" Videl shook her head at the 'dates' part, but then answered in the affirmative.
"I'll be back before too late, Daddy! See ya!" With that, she and Gohan took off for 'their' lake. On the way, Videl remembered Gohan's watch, which she took off.
"Hey, Gohan! Here's your watch back. Sorry I took it with me!"
"No problem, Videl. Thanks!" Gohan said, taking his watch back and putting it on. He was about to key it when he decided not to, and that he would just fly with Videl as Gohan, today. They flew the rest of the way uneventfully but thoughtfully, as each thought of different things. Videl was thinking about what the fight between Goku and Vegeta must have been like, and Gohan was trying to both remember and forget the next part of the story at the same time. Frieza.
Well, another short chapter, but it really is just the second half of the last one. I'm going to try to cover the Frieza saga in about 3 or 4 chapters, maybe more. It was a major event in Gohan's life, hence he should remember it well, or too well, as the case may be. So, to those great people who reviewed (and even to those of you who didn't), I hope you enjoy this chapter and expect to see another tomorrow night. Good night!
