"Hey Dad, I think I found a job you might like." Videl said to Hercule as she entered the room.
"Yeah, what is it?! I'm desperate!"
"There's an opening for a news reporter down at the TV station. Interviews are tomorrow."
"I'm there!"
Thanks to Videl, Hercule finally had something to do. There was a lot of stuff to get ready. He didn't need a tux because he could use the one from the election. But he did have to wash it and iron it though. (That was a lot to do to Hercule.) So he went into his closet to get out his tux and threw it in the wash. While he was waiting for it, he sat down and had a cup of coffee.

"Hey Trunks, Goten, Hercule finally found a job. He's being interviewed tomorrow." Gohan told the boys. Of course, Videl had told him, and he told everyone.
"So." The two didn't seem to care.
"Well, I just thought you'd like to know."
"OK, bye Gohan."
"Alright already! I'm leaving!"
Goten and Trunks were too busy reading a comic book to hear about Hercule. They had finished the one they were reading, and Trunks walked over to the shelf to get another one.
"Get issue number...hmmm, which didn't we read yet?"
"What about issue 72?"
"Okay!"
Trunks reached over to get the comic, when he found a book of historical events.
"Hey, what that?" Goten asked.
"It's a book of historical events."
"Oh. Boring."
"No, it has a picture of a rocket on it. And some soldiers. It looks kinda cool."
"Let me see."
Trunks handed Goten the book. It was brand new.
"Hmmm...wow...cool..."
"So it's pretty good?"
"Not really, but it gave me an idea!!"
"What is it?! What is it?!"
Goten reached over to Trunks' ear and whispered his devilish plan to him.
"He he he. Great plan Goten!!"
It was the day of the interview. Hercule was, as always, extremely nervous. He got in is car with a 'good luck' from Videl. The station wasn't very far away, so it only took him a few minutes to get there. There was several people waiting outside in line. Pretty soon, it was his turn.
"Hello sir. What's your name?"
"Um, Hercule Satan."
"I see. Do you like speaking publicly?"
"Yes. I mean, of course." (Hah)
"Good. I like your personality Mr., what was it?"
"Satan."
"A yes, Satan. You're in."
Hercule wanted to jump for joy, but he remained calm.
"Come with me for your first 'on air' show."
Hercule followed the man into the room. Their was a bunch of cameras and people all around.
"Now just read the cue cards Mr. Satan."
"Okay, I guess."
"Come on Trunks! Let's do it!"
"Right behind ya Goten."
"Alright, you hold this side, and I'll hold this one."
"So we're doing the football page, then the rocket page?"
"Yep. You ready? Let's go."
Trunks and Goten tiptoed into the room and held up the book in front of the cue cards.
"Lights, camera, action!!"
The director shouted, then Hercule began to speak.
"SCORE!!! GREEN BAY WINS THE SUPER BOWL!!!"
Goten and Trunks tried hard to hold back their giggles. The director seemed puzzled.
"And the Apollo's off! Mankind is officially in space!!"
Goten and Trunks were turning bright red. They turned the page.
"And today folks, beware if you go to any kind of department store or toy store around the US. The introduction of Furbys is the hot new toy to get. People are lining up to buy one of those furry little electronic toys for Christmas presents."
"CUT!!" the director shouted.
Gohan and Videl sat on the couch watching the TV turn those rainbow-colored stripe things. (I don't know what they're called!)
"Oh oh. This doesn't seem good. What did Dad do now?"
"Don't worry Videl. Hey, have you seen Goten and Trunks?"
"They're upstairs reading comics."
"Oh."
"Mr. Satan, I'm afraid you need glasses, because you can't read my cue cards!! YOU'RE FIRED!"
"But...that's...I..."
"GOOD BYE!"
Goten and Trunks sneaked out of the studio.
"Hey Trunks, do you think we should tell Hercule about what we did?"
The two boys looked at each other.
"Nah!" they both said together.
-Don't you remember how popular Furbys were? I was desperate, and that was the first thing to pop up in my mind. If you want me to write another chapter, review my story!
