A/N: hello world. Sorry for the slight delay- I'm being laughed at. I've had the most embarrassing week ever (i.e.: accidentally calling my friends lesbians in religion and being forced to cover it up w/ a rant on gay rights, accidentally falling down the school stairs and onto my ex, making an idiot of myself at a job interview etc…)! Well, whatever- I still have my cat and my, err… shoes.
Courage, Gohan! Think Xena!!! Gohan told himself as he stormed into his workplace. The look on his face was that of pure determination and his fists were clenched around the bouquet that he held. There was no way anything could go wrong. Gohan had spent countless hours the previous night, mumbling to himself about how he was to go about telling Videl the god-awful truth. Thankfully Goten, Gohan's adorable little brother, was already showing signs of being a lady killer. The seven-year old was full of ideas on how to win Videl's affections. And how to ditch Erato.
So, Gohan got changed and wandered over to the large vats of grease, to find his ach-enemy already in uniform and reading "French For Dummies". The poetry queer looked up from his textbook and smiled. "Good day, little boy."
"Bite me."
"Oh, jealous, are we? The injured lover's hell."
Stupid lines. If I could just… no! No more evil thoughts!!! But then again, a little evil is often necessary for obtaining a great good. Hmmm… "Err, yeah dude. Whatever you say." Gohan felt no need to argue with this buffoon. Videl would be here any minute and then Gohan would win her over. Relaxing a little bit, Gohan placed the flowers on the counter and got to work. ~ 20 minutes later, Videl marched in late and ignored Twink's complaints about her tardiness. I swear to god, if that stupid pansy-boy doesn't leave me alone today… All I can say is that Gohan better not leave me alone again. The young Satan walked over to where Wink was taking orders and began another horrendous day at the Mc Arby's King. I'm going to find out Gohan's secret soon, even if it kills me.Meanwhile, over at the grill, Gohan noticed Videl had arrived so he leaned over to pick up his flowers. But they weren't there. They were with Erato, who was rapidly approaching Videl. "Okay, this has gone on long enough! IT'S TIME TO DIE!!!" Gohan screamed, before hurling himself in Erato's direction. The other teen turned around and let out a very high pitched squeak before attempting to run away from the rampaging Saiyan. Gohan threw himself over the counter and began chasing Erato through the restaurant, scaring the living crackers out pf everyone there. But this did not go on long, because Gohan soon caught out young muse and began to rip his arms off. That is, until Twink appeared.
"Put him down right now, boy!!!" Gohan's boss was fuming. "You're in big trouble! I'm sick of your attitude and your antics!" Gohan dropped the guy in fear, while holding back the urge to yell "mommy". The short, yellow man was freakier than Piccolo's singing. "You know what? You're being DEMOTED!"
"Oh Dende."

One hour later, Videl held back a laugh as Gohan began cleaning the floor of the restaurant, decked in his new uniform- a yellow jumpsuit, complete with booties and rubber gloves. Yes sir, the Mc Arby's King had a new janitor. A very unhappy janitor, mind you, but a janitor still the same. Actually, if you listened to him really closely, you could hear him swearing in multiple languages. "Merde, Kuso, Damn…" Sadly, his flowers and ego had been destroyed in the 'fight' so he couldn't do anything today.
"Yaumcha was wrong. This isn't going to work. She thinks I'm a total dolt and Erato's fake crying is making me look like a bastard. Maybe Vegeta was right- Violence is the only way. I'm going to go speak with him after work," Gohan mumbled to himself. Little did he know, he wouldn't have to wait that long.
"Talking to yourself is the fist sign of madness, brat," Vegeta declared, not bothering to keep his voice down.
"Then you must have started years ago," Gohan replied, while silently thanking Dende for bringing Vegeta to him.
"Touché. There's hope for you yet, friend. Come on, take a break and we'll talk love." Vegeta was being oddly nice, but Gohan didn't really care. He could tell when the Prince was being sarcastic, and right now, the man was being as serious as Piccolo. Gohan said down at a table and watched as the older Saiyan sat down in font of him. "I suppose you're wondering why I want to help you." Gohan nodded so Vegeta continued. "You see, when I was your age, I was infatuated with a countess from the planet Pinchbeck. She was everything I liked in a woman- feisty, smart and strong. However, I was in competition for her affections. There was another prince, one far richer and better looking than I. Even though I was a lot stronger, I stood no chance against him."
"Burn."
"Yeah. So as I watched her grow more and more attracted to Eros, I also noticed something else."
"That she wasn't worth the trouble?"
"No- I noticed that she had the secret desires that every woman in this galaxy has."
"Food?"
"No! Deep down, she wanted a man who was dark, handsome, wild and dangerous. So I became that man."
"You're already dangerous."
"Shut up! Anyways, I won her over. Eros' perfection was no match for my sexiness!"
"Cool! What happened, though? Why aren't you still together?" Gohan asked.
"I got sick of her a week later so I ditched her. But that's not the point. The point is, you need to become some sort of Shane West clone."
"There is something wrong with girls."
I'm ending this chapter here, just like my bad week. Review please- it really would make me feel better (and so would a million dollars! Anyone?)
Well, whatever. Just everyone have a good week and make sure to watch the Buffy season premier this week (yes, I sorta got the idea for this story from it). But you know what really sucks? While the yanks get to watch the new eps on Tuesday, here in Canada we have to wait till Saturday!! Grr!!
