[pic]The Asking of the Dance

By Mystic Kintoun

Scene: Orange Star High Time: 8:34 AM

Buu has stopped destroying and has settled down with Mr. Satan. Everything is back to normal. Gohan and Videl are back in high school and Goku is back in Other World with Vegeta.

Gohan is actually early for school. He was getting his books when he realized something. "The Christmas dance is tomorrow night!" Gohan exclaimed. "I want to ask Videl to the dance, but what if she's going with someone else?" (It's pretty obvious what Videl would say to Gohan if she wasn't going with anyone.) When he got to Videl's locker, she was there with another boy. Sharpener.

"Hey, Videl, wanna go to the dance with me?" he asked. She's got to, because I was cheering her on at the Tournament! he thought.(Stupid reason, isn't it?)

"No thanks." That was the same reply Videl when Sharpener wished her luck. Sharpener stared at her, dumbstruck. He asked her three more times then gave up and left. Videl just answered with the same reply, "No thanks."

Why did she object me? Why? was all that he could think about until he saw Gohan sniggering. Gohan had seen the whole thing. Sharpener was going to punch him in the stomach but missed because Gohan had already started to go to Videl. Besides, Gohan went to hyper speed halfway to Videl.

"Great," sneered Sharpener. "Perfect-test score boy is going to ask Videl to the dance. Like she's going to go with him.

Gohan thought, This is it!

"Uh, hi Videl," he said uncertainly. "Are you going to the dance with anyone?"

"Oh, hi Gohan!" said Videl. "No, I'm not. Four other boys asked me this week (not including Sharpener). "Anyway," she lightly blushes, "you were saying, Gohan?"

Okay, there's something wrong with this picture, thought Sharpener. She's BLUSHING!

"Um," C'mon Gohan pull yourself together! he thought. "D-do you want t-to go to the d-dance with me?" Gohan stammered. Stupid, stupid!

"Of course, Gohan," said Videl eagerly. "What did you think?" Yes! He asked me! HE ASKED ME!

Gohan became very embarrassed. "Well, I'll pick you up at your house, okay? See you in class!" He hurried down to the classroom.

Now I'll tell you about Sharpener. His jaw dropped when he heard Videl accept. When Gohan passed by he went straight to Videl.

He was hysterical. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! HOW CAN YOU PICK A GEEK OVER ME?!"

Videl only giggled. Then she became serious. "Picking a person for the dance is more than how cool someone looks or is," said Videl cooly. "Besides, you don't half about him." She shut her locker and ran to her first class.

What does she mean I don't know Gohan? Two major things pop up in my mind: smart & a scrawny weakling (pathetic). He looked at the time. Great, I'm late for class! For being late he had to hold buckets of water outside class for fifteen minutes.
