A/N: I OWN NOTHING
Ya Want Fries With That?
After lunch, Gohan walked into his Language Arts Class with a dazed, happy, dopey grin on his face. Obviously the thoughts of working in a food joint were still on his mind. Emphasis on "food". He sat down next to Eraza as usual and when the girl said "hi", he didn't seem to notice. Finally, Eraza became frustrated.
"Gohan, you adorable fool! What's up?!" She shouted, drawing the entire class, including the teacher. Gohan seemed to notice as well.
"Eraza! Shut your mouth! I'm trying to teach a class!" the cranky teacher yelled in response.
"Sorry 'Raz," Gohan apologized. "I was just thinking about the job."
"Yeah. That's what I wanted to ask you about. Where do you work?"
"Uh, The Mc Arby's King."
Videl's ears perked up. Hmm… This is great! I could work there with Gohan and finally find out what he's hiding. Saiyaman can be put on hold for a while. "So Gohan," she said casually, "Do you know if there are any other openings there?"
"I'm pretty sure. Why?"
"Well, I was thinking of getting a job…"
Sharpener raised an eyebrow. "Why? You've got tons of money already. Plus your volunteer work."
A look of panic crossed Videl's face but she quickly hid it. "Not that it's any of your business, Sharpener, but I need uh, some more extra-currics for my college applications." Oh yeah. I am the Queen.
Liar, Eraza thought. I know she likes Gohan. She's only in it to spend more time with him.
Obviously she wants to serve me food for practice when she marries me, Sharpener thought wrongly.
Mmmmm… Food…

After school, instead of her usual Gohan-stalking, Videl wandered over to the office of Miss. Appletot. After she had received her desired assignment, the teenager walked out with a smirk on her face and a theory as to why Miss. Appletot was still a 'Miss'.

500 miles away, Gohan landed on the lawn of the Son home, but soon took off to dodge Goten's daily tackle. "Hey squirt!"
"Hiya Gohan! Whad'ya doa skoo?" Goten said, without bothering to articulate.
"Nothing much. Mom made me get a job and a staff member thought I was named Lloyd."
"Oh. Wanna come spar with me?"
"Nope," Goku said as he approached. "He's wanted in the kitchen."
Gohan nodded and went inside to find his mother and Bulma sitting at the table, gossiping. "Mom? Bulma? You need something?"
The pair looked up. "Yes, honey. We wanted to ask you about your new job!" Bulma gushed.
"Yeah! When do you start? Do you know anybody there? What's' it called?" Chichi demanded.
Gohan rolled his eyes and sat down at the table and discussed his new position with his 'mothers'.
~
That night was pretty uneventful. Bulma went home after dinner to make sure that Vegeta hadn't blown anything up and she took Goten with her, so he could keep Trunks busy. After a late-night spar with his father, Gohan went upstairs, did his homework, stepped on several of Goten's toys and went to sleep.
The entire school day passed normally and at three P.M., the oldest "spawn of Kakarrott" headed over to the Mc Arby's King with Videl in tow. When the pair arrived, the manager immediately greeted them, in all his yellow glory. He was literally dressed, from head-to-toe, in neon yellow. Except for his leopard-print shoes, which looked like they had been stolen right out of Ryan Stiles's closet. "Hello! Hello! Welcome to the Mc Arby's King! I'm your new boss, Mr. Johnson, but you can call me 'Twink'! Now come along you two, there is much work to be done so I won't have time to learn your names." Twink said, barely taking time to breathe. He motioned for them to follow him behind the orange counter.
In the back, there were many teenagers dressed the same way as 'Twink'. "Welcome to your workplace!" he said.
"I think he means 'welcome to hell'." Gohan whispered to Videl, who snorted. Twink continued to rave on about all the 'exciting' jobs there were to be done. But that wasn't important. The only thing that Gohan cared about was the free food.
Or so he thought. "Due to budget cuts on this store, we have decided to out-law any discounts on food for staff members. And you're only allowed to eat on your own time! After all, we don't want you to get paid for nothing!" Twink declared enthusiastically.
Videl sighed and looked over at Gohan, who was devastated. "Whawhawhawha? Me no food? Urmph. Oh Dende."
Normally, Videl would find this amusing. But one of the things that caused her suspicion towards Gohan was his appetite. She was hoping to study his eating habits here. She decided to help him out. "But Britney Spears get's paid for nothing!"
Twink didn't notice her protest and continued to explain their duties. When he was finally finished, he handed each of them a box, containing their uniforms and a rulebook. It's a frigging store. They need a book for this? Videl thought. She glanced over at her 'friend', who was beginning to recover. She could have sworn he'd uttered a complete sentence.
The two teens were directed to the washrooms, so they could change and clean up. Gohan's worst fears were confirmed when he looked in the mirror. "I look like a bee," he told Videl, who didn't look exactly like a happy camper herself.
They left the bathrooms and walked back behind the counter to find that a girl who looked like she was 14 had replaced Twink. She smiled at them, flashing her pink colored braces and twirled her brown pigtails with her index finger. This did not bode well for our young friends.
