Well here is chapter five at last! I wasn't so good about updating these
last few days, and when you work on five different stories at once that's
understandable. Five pages a day is the equivalent of one page of a
chapter in each story. Some of my stories have ten pages in a chapter, so
it will take a little time. Anyway from now on make sure you review,
because the story that receives the most reviews, will receive the most
attention from the author. It isn't really fair, but I'm kind of screwed
if I don't do it this way. Anyway enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 5- Ice Cream Headache!
Just three more blocks and ice cream. Three more blocks and Goten and Trunks would stop being so loud. Gohan wanted to fly, but that would leave out Erasa and Sharpner who were tagging along. Not that this would bother Gohan much, but Videl was best friends with Erasa. Sharpner had also been somewhat civil to Gohan today, and that was very odd to be certain.
Goten and Trunks were currently sparring without using their energy, and the two little kids were mainly just blurs around the three teens. Erasa talked to Videl about god knows what while Sharpner was watching both Goten and Trunks with an odd kind of childish fascination.
Gohan was purposely tuning out Videl's conversation with Erasa, and also his brother and Trunks. As they neared the ice cream parlor though, he did hear Sharpner say something to him. "Hey Gohan will you listen up?" Sharpner asked a little annoyed. Gohan turned his gaze to the other boy to indicate he was listening.
"Yeah sure, what is it?" Gohan asked. By this time the small group had made it to the parlor, and the others were heading in already. "Just go in without us." Sharpner explained suddenly, "I have to talk outside with Gohan for a bit." Videl and Erasa spared him a glance before heading inside, but Goten and Trunks didn't even pause to show they had heard him.
Once the others had went indoors Sharpner waited for the door to close before he started with Gohan. "Gohan I was wondering about flying." He said suddenly. This surprised Gohan a little, but he didn't remain that way for long.
"Flying?" Gohan returned blankly, "What about it?" He didn't see why Sharpner would be interested in that in the least bit. Sharpner may have been a fighter to some extent yes, but he had never shown an interest in being the best. What kind of motive did he have behind his back this time?
Sharpner seemed to be a little nervous about asking Gohan any more than what he had, but he went on with it anyway. "What I want to ask you.. is flying really a trick?" Sharpner asked firmly, "I haven't ever seen Videl use a trick like Hercule mentioned before, and I'm pretty sure if it wasn't legitimate she wouldn't be doing it."
Gohan couldn't help but laugh. As Sharpner had gone on with his question he had leaned closer to Gohan, and had started lowering his voice. Must be afraid of sounding like a fool. First time for everything. "No it's not a trick." Gohan stated absolutely, "After teaching Videl about ki she was able to use it to fly."
Sharpner raised an eyebrow. "Ki?" He asked, "Now what's that. I've heard the word before, but I'm not sure where." Gohan smiled as he remembered trying to explain to Videl about 'energy', and he figured he'd better keep the explanation text book.
"Ki is the physical energy of you body, or also your fighting spirit." Gohan explained, "If you can center your fighting spirit then you can use it as a detachment of your body." Sharpner looked lost.
"So it's like.. being able to put the power of my muscles into.. what?" Sharpner almost had it as he spoke.
Gohan groaned and grabbed Sharpner's arm to pull him inside. "I'll tell you some other time okay?" He pleaded, "Right now I want some ice cream." Sharpner nodded as he blankly continued to try and think about what Gohan had told him.
The two walked inside, neither the wiser than before, and spotted the others with their ice cream. "Gohan I got your favorite!" Goten explained as he handed his brother a TALL cone of ice cream. The cone wobbled as if it would fall before Gohan got a hold of it and steadied it.
Sharpner sat down with Erasa, and she handed him a single scoop cone which he accepted without a word. He just stared onward in deep thought as the ice cream started to melt. Erasa looked somewhat concerned. "Gohan I think you broke Sharpner." She said, but then started laughing as the boy noticed he was spacing out and quickly ate at his cone to stop it from dripping.
Videl gave Gohan a sideways glance at what was going on, but he didn't seem to catch it. "So Gohan when do you think your mom is going to get out of the hospital?" Videl asked him. The young man brightened at her question and answered her without hesitation.
"Well, the doctors said she should be fine if we take her home today." Gohan explained, "They were afraid she'd be a little weak, but shouldn't have any serious problems." Videl smiled and Gohan returned it.
"Well when you see her why don't you let her know I'm glad she's okay?" Videl asked. Goten turned his attention from his ice cream to regard Videl.
"You aren't coming to visit mom with us Videl?" Goten asked. Goten screwed up his face like he was going to cry, "Don't you care about mom?" Videl flinched and tried to calm the boy down.
She held out her hand for Goten to take and gave it a firm squeeze. "Goten, I can go everywhere with you and your brother." Videl explained, "I have to be apart from you guys every now and again."
Goten only seemed confused. Gohan himself seemed to not understand her explanation. "Well how come?" both Son boys asked, and both of them had their eyebrows slightly down-set while they frowned. Videl almost laughed.
She hated that look. Goten has used it on her all day, and Gohan must have noticed it worked. Either that or he was doing it without realizing. It was most likely the latter of the two. "Okay, I guess it would cheer her up." Videl said as she caved under the pleading eyes of the mountain boys.
Sharpner had expected her to say no, and when she had agreed to go he was so shocked he bit his ice cream cone in half. After quickly downing the ice cream his head started to freeze up.
Goten and Trunks laughed as Sharpner moaned and clutched at his head. "Ice cream headache!" They both shouted out while laughing. Gohan, Videl, and Erasa soon joined in the laughter.

Well I kind of promised that Chichi would get released this chapter, but when I started writing what happens in the hospital and after that, I realized that this chapter would be waaaaaayyyyy longer than I had planned. That kind of leaves this as a filler chapter, and I really hate those, but don't worry because an update is on it's way! Next chapter has Chichi released, and also will have a few Majin freaks show up. This is where continuum starts to go astray big time. Don't worry, be happy. I plan to keep things somewhat in line.
