Chapter 2 The Jr. Competition, The Drawing.
The Jr. Competition was a new development at the Budoukai. Therefore there were only eight kids entered. As Videl walked into the room where the drawing would take place she realized that she was the only girl who was entered. Several of the boys stared at her like she was some sort of ghost or something.
"Hello, is this where the people who are in the Jr. Competition are supposed to meet?" She asked one of the boys that looked to be about her age.
"Why you looking for your boyfriend?" He sneered back at her. "After I win, you can hang out with me if you want." He finished right before he started laughing with his friends.
'Why are all guys stupid jerks?' "No, I would never stoop so low as to like one of you slimeballs." She shot back.
One of the bigger boys who looked to be about 15 or so heard her. To make matters worse, he looked like he had been living off a diet of lard for the past ten of those years. He started to walk over to her. "Oh looky a little girly wants to play with the boys. I think we should show her what she's in for." He said as he cracked his knuckles as he advanced.
'Oh, crap he is big' Videl thought as she started backing up. She backed right into the announcer.
"Whoa there! Excuse me young lady, but we are about to start the Jr. Competition. Are you one of the fighters?"
"Ah, yes I am." She answered looking up at the balding blonde man.
"Good, good. It is good to see a few female fighters. Very few have ever made it into the finals, but you don't need to worry about that do you?" He said smiling at her with a very cheesy grin.
Videl didn't know what to say so she just watched the announcer as he walked over to a large basket.
"Alright kids, come over here. We only have eight youngsters who are competing here this year. Anyway, we are going to randomly place you by having you draw numbers." The man said.
Everyone gathered around. Since the big idiot who had been making fun of Videl earlier seemed to be leading the rest of the boys, Videl was the last to draw. She knew that she had drawn the #1 even before she did. And of course with her luck, she had to fight big and stupid first.
"Ha ha, I get to fight the little girly. This is going to be an easy fight. Hey look at her; she looks like she is going to cry. Whaaa, you want your mommy? HA HA HA! Well your mommy can't help you now girly ha ha!"
Hearing the guy make fun of her like that and saying that her mother couldn't help her almost did cause Videl to break out into tears. Ever since her mother had died she had missed her terribly.
"Why did I let my papa talk me into this?" She said aloud but to herself.
"Don't be afraid of Beef. He is an idiot, and he is really slow." An older boy said to her from where he was sitting in the corner.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Videl asked him.
"I mean to say, Beef Cake is an idiot. Sure he is strong, but you look like you are at least halfway fast. Just don't let him get a hold of you and you will win." The boy said.
"Ok, why are you helping me? And who are you? My name is Videl." Videl said.
"Oh, well let's just say I don't like Beef. The guy is a cow. Anyway my name is Guy Nice." Guy said. (Sorry, I just had to have some fun with EXTREAMLY corny name puns)
"Well nice to meet you Guy," Videl said with a smile. Suddenly the tournament didn't seem so bad.
"Well, I just don't see any reason why these morons think they need to intimidate people before they fight in the ring. People who get cocky even before they fight are rather stupid don't you agree?" He said back
"I guess, but that guy really does look like he could kick just about anyone's butt." Videl answered timidly.
"Ha!" Guy started laughing. "He is just a muscle bound ape. As long as you don't let him hit you, you would beat him any day."
'I don't know if I like this guy. He seems too nice. I wonder what his goal is?' "Um, sure. Why do you say that?" Videl asked.
"Oh, I have my reasons. Just fight your best, and I am sure you will have fun." He said before winking and walking away.
'Maybe I am just being overly cautious. Papa is a bit zealous when it comes to making me take self-protection classes. Too bad most of those moves are illegal in the Budoukai.' Videl thought to herself. 'Then again, Papa says that the nice guys are always the ones with the most to hide.'

Darn these first chapters are going to be rather short. I will try to update this fic a few more times before I head home for the summer… (YEAH HIPPIE… 50+ hrs of work a week.. HURAY… Sarcasm is the best! ;) ) you Highschool kids have NO idea how much growing up sucks. Which is why I will always be a kid at heart. NO growing up here….. ok so I am ranting… sorry. Anyway there hopefully will be a new chapter of both this and "The Return" up sometime Friday.
