Chapter Two
T
he twilight of the atmosphere felt really good tonight, no bugs pelting in my face like in late dusk. I loved flying like this, it's so extraordinarily inspirational. The fly home seemed like seconds, I had no clue where the time had gone. I opened the front door of my house, only to find my husband fallen asleep face in the books. I saw pan sunk into our green recliner reading a midsummer nights dream. I put my purse on the stool next to the door. " Hi P-baby!" I said kissing my daughters forehead. "Hey mama!" Pan said lifting her eyes above the book, then setting it down. " So tell me what did ya do that called for you staying out till 2:38 in the morning?" Pan asked me teasingly. "I had a visit with Bulma and your grandmother, that's all." I responded. "Oh!.." Pan said. "Didja have fun?" She asked. "Yeah, Hey pan can you help me with something?" I asked thinking if this was worth asking. "Sure." Pan responded. "Well I want to find a hobby to do during the day, ya have any suggestions?" I asked. Pan rubbed her chin. "How about interpretive dance?" Pan asked. I have always wanted to do something of this sort, it's probably a great workout too I pondered. "That sound cool." I told her. I saw pan's eyes light up. " My academy opens up to the public for lessons at 10:00 a.m., stop y tomorrow." Pan said. I felt pan's excitement just by looking into her eyes, I'll bet she is glad her mom is into the same stuff as she is. " I'm going to bed honey!" I said. "Night mom!" Pan said sweetly. I stood up and ruffled her hair a bit and said "good night P-baby!" I walked strait passed Gohan and slid right into bed.
The following morning I woke up at 8:30. I pulled out a sundress from my clean clothes pile and put it on. I walked out into the kitchen table where Gohan was reading the newspaper and sipping on coffee. I soon joined him. "Hey Videl, wazz up?" Gohan asked me. "Nothing much." I said taking another sip. " Did you have a good time last night?" Gohan asked. I looked down at my fingernails. "Yep, it was really cool!" I said. "It's good your getting out more videl!" Gohan told me. "Speaking of which I'm going to the city today." I said. "Sure hon. well have fun." Gohan said as he stood up and kissed me goodbye and then left for work. As I saw him leave I thought of how lonely it gets here by myself with pan gone to summer acting school and Gohan at work it's a bit creepy. I didn't make haste to leave the house.
At the son house Chi Chi was rather concerned at the sight of her hubby curled up sick on the couch with a barf bucket at his side, so she took him to a small town pharmacy, were he got proper treatment. Now he's resting watching a bit of television. Goku had been watching Rikki Lake when he made a sudden outburst. "Rikki, you are so right! Gay parents are perfectly capable of raising children!" Goku Shouted as he buried his face in a bunch of blankets. Chi Chi came out of the kitchen to see what was all the commotion. "Whaaaa!" Goku cried. Chi Chi raised her eyebrow. "Goku, I think your taking this a bit too far." She said rubbing his shoulder. "No! You don't understand!" Goku said looking up at Chi Chi with watery eyes. "Yes, I understand these medications are making you pretty moody, maybe you should try to go to sleep now." Chi Chi suggested. Goku thought for a good 3 minutes until he said "okay!" and almost instantly fell asleep. Chi Chi sighed as she switched off the TV and went back into the kitchen.
I decided to drive because I prefer to take the more scenic view when I have extra time to kill. I drove along as I quietly enjoyed the beautiful greenery. All of a sudden my cell phone rang. I quickly scrambled into my purse and dug out the phone and quickly answered it. "Hello?" I asked the stranger on the other line. "Yeah I want two cheese pizza and hold the onions and potatoes!" Said the person. I was slightly confused. "Who may I ask is this?" I asked the person. "Well.. If you must know it's Son Goten!" He said macholy. I felt stupid for not noticing this, who else orders potatoes on there pizza! "Goten.uh this is Videl!" I said to him. There was a short silence. "Oh! Wazz up?" He said in his always-cheerful tone. "Driving to the city." I said. "Whatcha gonna do? "He asked. "Why do you wanna know brownnoser." I said teasingly. "Well. I", He begun until I interrupted him. "I'm just kidding I'm just gonna hang out." I said to him. "Wanna hook up for lunch? I'm just hangin' around." Goten asked. " Yeah, I'm down with that let's meet in front of. umm.. Atlanta Bread in one hour, can you hold out that long?" I said. "We can only hope!" Goten said. We both laughed out loud. "Well see ya there!" Goten said. "Alright bye goten!" I said as I hung up the phone and high-tailed it to Satan City.
I saw goten standing in front of the café. I pulled up and parked up on the curb. He was waving like a maniac at me, like he hasn't seen me in like a year. I waved back. I stepped out of the car and walked over to him. I hugged him, and he did back. We walked out on the outdoor patio and took a seat. "So how is my favorest, bestest sister in law?" Goten asked. I laughed while I said, "im good just getting out of that retched stink hole!" I said unenthusiastically. "Huh?" Goten asked. "The house." I said. "What's wrong with it?" He asked me. "I'm sick of being there, I've become a slave to my house!" I exclaimed. "I bet! If I was stuck at home all day with my mom.I would jump off a mountain or something!" He said taking a bite of a croissant. We both laughed, Then I said "I don't blame you." I chuckled. The lunch was very enjoyable we talked for about an hour of anything we could think of. I told him I had to be going so we bid adieu and left.
I walked down these endless streets thinking of how I used to fight crime to protect them, I really longed for those days. I walked up the street then turned down main. 'I can see it already!' I thought as I looked at the rustic looking sign above the door of the academy. I was fairly large and very old, established in 1792. I steeped inside, to my surprise the center was very lively, I expected it to be desolate. I walked up to the counter and registered for classes every Tuesday and Thursday. Before I left the desk I asked were class "acting 101"was. The woman kindly pointed me the way. I peered through the window of the door. Then I saw pan, up on the stage rehearsing for a play. She was in a navy blue gown and had the leading role. She looks happy and I think she found her calling in life. I backed away from the glass. "Mommy's proud of you." I whispered. I walked out of the building and back on the street. Then I thought, 'hey while im here I thinks I am gonna visit bulma.' It wasn't far from here anyway. As I walked I noticed a sign on a window that caught my eye. I walked over to read it, it read:
We change lives! Just call our matchmaker hotline and well set up a date that's just right for you! Call 1-800-HOT-DATE, A date is waiting for you! I wondered, was this like the 'break'Bulma and Chi Chi were talking about? I looked at the paper. "Yeah right I am a timid little house wife now I could NEVER do something like that!" I said out loud to myself. That I when I realized I wanted to be bad again, my charisma was deteriorating, I needed excitement! I overcame my fears and jotted the number down on my hand and pulled out my cell phone. I called the number and set up a date for tonight at 7:00. I specifically told them no one under the age of 25. The man said to meet my date on the bride at the park. I was shocked to know it was tonight! "Well I guess I'll have to postpone bulma." I said to myself. I checked my watch, "CRAP it's 2:00 I gotta fly!" I thought. Jumped up and took to the sky.
I Sprinted inside and walked over to my dresser. I worked through my regular clothes, nothing good. I went inside my closet. I flipped trough clothes I saw a familiar outfit. It was my old 'fight' shirt and white capris. If I wore this it could express me as the 'old' Videl, The cooler one I used to be. I picked it up and put it on the counter of my bathroom. I attacked it with a lint roller and named it passable. I took a long, relaxing bath and scrubbed up good. After that was done I dried off and blew dried my hair. I pulled down my bangs and let my hair down instead of pulling it back. I put on minimal makeup and looked at myself. I really liked this, I liked to dress cool again, it's like when you become a mom you have a dress code, how gay is THAT? I took a last look at my self and thought, I can't believe I'm cheating on Gohan! I shook my head. Oh well! I checked the time, 6:20. It rushed out into the living room and out the door into the driveway. Busted. There was Gohan, just getting out of his car. He was shocked. "Videl. you look beautiful!!" He exclaimed. "Im going out tonight with bulma. "I lied. "Oh well okay."He said slowly. "Pan is sleeping over at goten's just to let you know." He said like he was disappointed about something. "Okay, well I gotta go bye!" I said as I began to fly. I looked back down at Gohan, he looked like a prisoner walking their last mile. I immediately forgot about this and continued flying.
"Here it is central park. "I said to myself. I wiped my sweaty palms on my pants. I proceeded through the entrance. 'Yep it's 7:oo' I thought. I walked under the shady path. As I crept closer on I could see a person on the bride. I walked on, starring at my feet. Now I was within feet of the bride. 'This is it' I thought as I slowly looked up. I stopped dead in my tracks. I was totally and utterly flabbergasted. "No. NO! This has to be a mix up!" I said quietly to myself. The man approached me and said. "Hey you must be my date huh? "He said. "Hi.." I said slowly. " My name is Trunks!"
