Title:The Perfect Night, For Some
Chapter 6:Setting Up
Videl was able to get into the house without any trouble. She walked silently into her room and hung up her new dress. Just then Mary, one of the house maids came in and said,"You're home late."
Videl gave a small smile and went to the bathroom to change into her night clothes. When she had come out, she saw that Mary had taken her dirty clothes that she had thrown out, into the laundry room. Videl shrugged and went to bed.
~*Next morning*~(aka-Saturday, day of the dance.)
Videl felt someone shake her as she woke up with a start."Noooooo, Don't!!" she screamed.
"Chill, chill! It's just me!" Erasa yelled. Videl sat up gasping for air. She was drenched in cold sweat. Erasa noticed the panic look in her best friends eyes and asked, "What's wrong? What happened, you look like you had just seen a ghost or something. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing I'm fine. I just had a bad dream, that's all. Nothing to worry about." said Videl. She looked around the room and asked, "Why are you here and what time is it?"
"First, the time is about 12:59 and two, you really can sleep, since we were only out until about 10:00 and three, we have to pull this scam off. Now get up!"
"Okay, first let me up. And then I'll meet you down stairs and we'll talk it over."
"Fine." and Erasa left.
Videl slowly climbed out of bed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. When she finished, she got dressed. Her thoughts were on the dream that had made her wake up shouting. It was horrible, she didn't want to think about it, but somehow she had.
~*The dream*~
Some how Videl and Erasa's plan had worked. She was able to get rid of Sharpner and went to the dance with Gohan. They had spent the whole night dancing and decided to go for a walk in the park. They ended up talking about past relationships, in the end they both admitted that they were never in a serious realationship.
A little while later, they were sitting on one end of the park benches and were leaning in for a romantic kiss when all of a sudden her dad came out of nowhere and dragged Videl away. As he pulled her away, he whispered words in her ear like, "You'll never see him again as long as I live." and "Since you disobeyed me, I'll be sending you to a boarding school." The next thing she knew, she was in a boarding school and never saw Gohan again. (A/N:In this part of the dream, it sort of fast forwards to 3 months after she left boarding school) Videl was at the train station waiting for her dad
to pick her up when she saw a familiar face. A face that could only belong to Son Gohan. She quickly ran over to him and gave him a huge hug.
"I knew that you would come for me." she whispered onto his ear. Gohan pulled her back and gave her a loving look.
"I'll always be there for you." he said back. Videl looked around the crowd and saw her fother walking towards her. He looked over at Gohan and stated that she was to marry Sharpner. Videl saw Gohan stumble backwards and was gone. Videl fell to her knees and balled her out crying. She had lost the love of her life.
~*End of dream*~
Videl shivered thinking about it. She didn't want to loose Gohan. She liked him too much :You don't like him, you LOVE him: said her inner-voice. Videl shoke her head at the thought. She didn't know how she felt about Gohan. She wasn't sure anymore.
"Get down here!" Erasa yelled.
Videl snapped out of her thoughts and went down stairs.
"Bout time, I thought you went back to bed."
"No, I didn't. So what do we have to do first?" Videl replied.
"Well, first we have to tell Gohan that you will meet him in the park. Oh, I forgot to tell you, that's where the dance is."
"Really, I thought it was going to be at school."
"Nope, the principal didn't want to have to pay the janiters extra to clean up the big mess."
"Well, then how are we going to have the dance?"
"I heard that they're setting up a great, big, huge tent. It's all white and they say that you'll be able to see the stars through the tent."
"How do you know?" Videl asked.
"I have my connections." Erasa said smiling.
"Oh..." Videl replied thoughtfully.
"Then after you tell Gohan to meet you at the park, tell Sharpner that you want to go to 'Shi Lemoin', you know the richest resturant in town." Videl giggled.
"Hey, if he's going to take you out at least make him pay for it." Erasa said between giggles. Videl couldn't contain her laughter any longer and started howling with laughter. The thought of Sharpner paying about $400 on a dinner that she wasn't even going to attend. "Okay, okay." Videl said after a few mins. of laughing. "What's next?"
"Then you go to the resturant at um, 4:25 and I'll come in at 4:30 later. Then I'll make up some story that I'm meeting my date there. While you spill your drink on your outfit. Oh, you might not want to wear anything fancy." Videl nodded in agreement. "Then I'm going to distract him, while you make a clean get away. Sound good?"
"Yep, now, if you don't mind, I have to call Gohan, I'll be right back."
"Okay, see you then." Erasa replied.
Videl got up and went to her room to call Gohan. As she walked in she turned her head to look at her clock. It was 1:30. She picked up the phone and dialed his number, she then walked over to her bed and sat down as she waited for someone to pick up.
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring.......
"Uh, hello?" came a voice.
"Hi, Gohan." Videl said.
"Hi Videl and what do I owe the pleasures of this call?" Gohan replied.
"Nothing really. I just wanted to ask you-" she hesited, "If you wouldn't pick me up at my house. If I could meet you at the park at 5:00. That's where the dance is." Videl closed her eyes, waiting for the explosion of questions that Gohan was about to give her.
"Do you mind if I ask why?" he asked.
"Well, see I um...I-I" she broke off. 'Why am I even doing this? I shouldn't be lieing to him. I should be telling him why he can't pick me up. But, no. I can't do that. I don't want him to get involved that much.
"Videl, Videl, VIDEL!!!!!!!" shouted Gohan.
"What?" Videl asked as she came out of the trance she was in. "Listen, I can't tell you why. At least not now."
"I guess so, yeah. Well is there anything else?"
"No that's all. Sorry, but I just can't tell you. Trust me though, someday I will, hopefully." then she hung up, leaving Gohan wondering what was going on.
"Videl sat the phone back on the charger and went down stairs to talk to Erasa. "All done."
"That was fast. So let me guess, you called him and told him he can't pick you up and then hung up. Am I right?"
"Either you were eais-dropping or you know me way too well." Videl replied as she sat down on the table.
"Now, let's call Sharpner and tell him that he can pick you up at 4:00. Also that you have made an appointment at 'Shi Lemoin' for 4:30 got that?" Videl nodded.
"Now, this date I don't care what you're going to wear. Just as long as it's not fancy. I don't see the need to being that you're going to ditch him." Erasa stated. Videl started to giggle. "Next like I said before, I'll strole in and make a little small talk. Then-"
"Then you'll leave and drop off the dress in the bathroom. Next, I'll spill some type of drink, whatever I order, and go to the bathroom, change and finally make a quick exit while you do a little bit of sweet talking. I don't care what you say to him, as long as it isn't about me. Got that?" Videl finished for her.
"Got it." After the conversation, Erasa went straight to work, calling the resturant to make the reservations for Videl and Sharpner. While Videl called Sharpner and told him what time to pick her up and when Sharpner was going to take her to dinner. Sharpner was a little bit taken back that she went and prepared everything, but in the end he went along with it. Thinking that he would get something out of it.(Boy is he wrong!) Over all it took them until 2:45.
"I gotta go and call Brad and tell him that he can pick me up at 'Shi Lemion'" Erasa said as she was leaving.
"You're going out with Brad Commings, the captian of the football team?" Videl asked amazed that she was date-less last night.
"Yeah, he called me this morning and asked if I would go with him. He also said he tried to aske me yesterday after school, but couldn't find me. I gotta go get ready for the dance. See ya later Cinderella." Erasa said as she walked out the door.
"Wait, you still have a few hours before you even think about getting ready for the dance!" Videl called out.
"I know, I barely have enough time to get my hair done!" she shouted back and walked outside. Videl just got up and decided to go train in one of her father's training rooms.
~*Gohan's house, after Videl hung up*~
"That was strange." Gohan muttered.
"Gohan, come here, I have something to show you!" yelled his mother.
"Coming!" he shouted getting off the living room couch. "Yeah?"
"Here, try this on!" she said giving him a box with a red bow around it. Gohan opened it up with great pleasure.
"Wow! Th-this is wonderful! Thanks mom!" Gohan said as he pulled out a pure white tuxedo. He put the tuxedo back in the box and gave her a hug.
"Where did you get it?" he asked once he let her go.
"It was your father's." she whispered.
"Oh." Gohan felt a tighting in his chest. He missed his father so much and he could tell that it just about killed his mother every day knowing that he isn't there with her to see Goten grow up. To be there for Goten when he was there for Gohan.
"It's great mom, thank you." he gave her another hug, seeing that she was on the verge of tears. "I'm going to try it on. I'll be right back." he ran up the stairs and tried it on. It fitted and looked prefect. He quickly walked down stairs to show his mom.
"Hey mom, what do you-" he stopped talking because as he was going down stairs, he noticed that Bulma was there, talking to Chi-chi.
"Oh Gohan, you look wonderful!" exclaimed Bulma. Chi-chi could only stare. He looked so much like Goku on their wedding day.
"Mom, what do you think?" Gohan asked turning around so she could see how it looked all over. She nodded in agreement of what Bulma said.
"Perfect Gohan, perfect."
"Now, Gohan do you want me to give you a car? I just happen to have a capsule of a black jaguar and a blck lamberginie with me." Bulma said winking at Chi-chi.
"Accually, Videl asked if I could meet her at the dance."
"And why is that?" Chi-chi asked sounding a little mad that hid date didn't want him to pick her up for the dance.
"I don't know, she said she couldn't tell me now."
"Oh really?" Bulma asked raising an eyebrow at Gohan.
"Yeah, that's what she said. Now if you will excuse me, I told Vegeta that I would have a sparring match before I get ready for the dance."
"Okay Gohan, well do you know what time you'll be back?" asked Chi-chi.
"I don't know. Let's see, the dance starts around 5:00, so I'll be home around 4:00. sound good?"
"Fine, see ya, until then." she replied.
"I'll go with you Gohan, lord only knows what Vegeta is up to. See ya later Chi-chi."
"Bye Bulma. Be home at 4:00 Gohan!"
"Alright!" he snapped back not meaning to raise his voice at his mother.
"HEY! DO YOU WANT ME TO GET OUT THE FRYING PAN, MISTER!?" yelled a mad Chi-chi.
"No, no, no, no don't do that. I gotta go." and with that he took off.
~*C.C. about 2 hours and 40 mins later*~
"So, you are going out with that ass holes daughter tonight?" Vegeta asked as he and Gohan walked into C.C. after 2 hours of training.
"Why do you care?" Gohan asked.
"Because I need to know if I'm going to gave to look for a new sparring partner!" Vegeta snapped.
"And why is that?" Gohan asked.
"Because you might be spending all of your time with your new girlfriend."
"I didn't know you cared. Don't worry you still have a partner. Even though you know that you'll never beat me in sparring." Gohan replied with a smirk on his face.
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" shouted Vegeta. Gohan took off still smiling. He had done what he had wanted to do, piss off Vegeta. (Now you know that Gohan is going to go home and get ready for the dance, I really don't feel like writing that part so I'm going to skip that part for now, I think.)
~*Videl's house*~
Videl looked over at the clock in her father's training room, 3:15
'I better get everything ready!' she thought as she walked out of the room and ran up to get ready for her 'date' with Sharpner.
She walked in her room and went to her closet door. Videl hadn't put the dress in the closet, she just left it on a hanger which was hanging on the door knob. Videl took the dress off the hanger and folded the dress and put it in the duffel bag.
"I wouldn't have that folded up too long, it might cause it to wrinkle." came a voice. Videl turned to see Mary.
"Oh, thanks."
"So are you getting ready for your pretend date with Sharpner?" Mary asked walking into Videl's room.
"How did you know about that?" asked a shocked Videl.
"Well....one: I heard you and Erasa talking about your plan this morning. Two: Every time your father talks to you about Sharpner, all you say is how stupid, rude, mean, and well just about every bad quality under the sun about him. I really didn't believe you when you told your father that you wouldn't go out with that other boy. And three: I've seen the way you look at him when he walks you home, or whenever you talk to him on the phone."
"Oh." Videl said as she looked down at the white carpet.
"Does he know?"
"Excuse me?" Videl asked.
"Does he know you're going with someone else?"
"Do you mean Gohan?"
"Yes, does Gohan know about your plan?"
"Oh no, I couldn't tell him." Videl replied looking at the floor again.
"Well, do you need any help?" Mary asked.
"I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I have to change into my dress. See I'm just going to put on some grungy clothes when I go out with Sharpner. But..." her voice trailed off.
"But what are you going to do when you have to get ready for Gohan in the bathroom?" Mary finished for her.
"Would you please help me?" Videl asked in a small voice.
"Alright." Mary said smiling.
"Thanks." Videl said with a long sigh.
~*5 mins. before 4:00*~
"Now just remember what I told and showed you, okay?" Mary said after she and Videl spent the last 80 mins going over how Videl could put on
make-up and fix her hair to make it look really cute. "Now if you have any problems, all you have to do is get your friend Erasa to help you out."
"Okay, I think I've got it." Videl replied nodding. Just then the door bell rang. Videl's eyes widened, 'I haven't even gotten ready! I have to find my sweat pants and sweater!' Videl thought.
"Mary get that and please take your time!" Videl said quickly. Mary nodded and walked down the stairs very slowly. Videl raced in and out of her closet trying to find the uglyest thing in her entire wardrobe.
"Aha! I found it!" Videl shouted. She found a brown shirt with a lot of shapes and strips. Her father had given it to her for a present. Videl then grabbed a pair of gray sweat pants. She quickly put the ugly clothes on and frizzed her hair up. She looked in the mirror.
"Perfect." she said to herself. She ran downstairs to see Erasa and Mary sitting down at the table talking.
"Wow! You really went all out on this didn't you!" Erasa exclamed.
"Oh, um...what are you doing here? I thought that you were going to meet me at the resturant."
"Okay, well let me go get it." Videl replied as she raced up the stairs to get her dress and make-up. She put all her things in the bag and gave it to Erasa."Here you go." she said,"You'd better hurry, Sharpner will be here any moment. And he can't see you Erasa."
"I know, I'll get out the back."
"Fine, she you at 'Shi Lemoin' bye."
"Bye." just then the doorball rang again.
"Go!" shouted Videl. Erasa raced out of the dining room and headed for the back door. Videl walked over to the front door and answered it. This time it was Sharpner.
"Uh...hi." he said when he saw what Videl looked like.
"Hi are you ready?" she replied.
"You're not getting dressed? I mean 'Shi Lemoin' is a really fancy place."
"So what? Oh, let me go find my dad to let him know I'm leaving." as if on cue, Hercule walked in.
"Videl are you going to the dance with Sharpner?"
"Yeah, we were just leaving. Sharpner is taking me out to 'Shi Lemoin' so we really have to get going." she said walking over to her dad and giving him a small kiss on the cheek.
"And you're dressed like that?" Videl nodded in response.
Hercule gave her a stupid look before yelling,"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND!?"
"No, I just don't feel like dressing up." she leaned over to his right ear,"Just the same reason why you wont let me go out with Gohan. You have a reason about why I can't go out with Gohan and you wont tell me. So I have a reason why I want to wear something like this and I wont tell you." she whispered. "I gotta go." she replied in a smooth voice. Videl grabbed Sharpner's arm and steered him out of the house. She then pulled out a capsule and released a red sports car.
"Nice ride." Sharpner said as he checked out the car.
"Just get in. Oh and I'm driving." she said smoothly. They rode in silence to the resturant, Videl gave the keys to the vala parker, and walked inside.
"Excuse me, but do you have reservations?" asked a snoody waiter. Videl turned her head so he could get a look at her.
"Ms.Satan, why you look lovely tonight. May I show you to your seats?"
"Whatever." she replied.(I know Videl seems kinds mean, but wouldn't you be mad if your father said you couldn't go out with the person you loved for no good reason?) He showed her to her table and asked what she wanted.
"Water." she replied.
"I'll have a glass of shampane." Sharpner said. Videl kept her eyes glued to the front doors.
'Where is she!?' she thought. 'Come on Erasa, get here.' Finally Videl spotted her. Erasa walked in and went straight for the bathroom, carrying the duffel bag with her. About 5 mins later, Erasa walked out of the bathroom and over towards Videl and Sharpner's table.
"Hi, hows your date?" she asked them.
"Just fine." said Sharpner, he leaned towards her and whispered,"Except I wish Videl would talk to me, she hasn't said a single word since we left her house." Erasa pushed back her laugh. She then walked over behind Sharpner and put up 3 fingers.
'I take it that my bag is in the 3rd stall.' Videl thought and nodded her head in response.
"So Erasa, what are you doing here?" Videl finally asked.
"Oh, I'm waiting for my date to show up." Erasa replied smoothly, showing a small smirk.
"Oh really and uh......OHHHH!" at this point Videl tipped over her glass of water, which spilled all over her pants and parts of her shirt.
"I have to go to the bathroom." she said quickly and headed towards the bathroom. "Now, where is it?" she said looking for the stall. "There." she shouted when she had found it.
~*Meanwhile*~
"So, are you having a good time?" Erasa asked after about 10 mins had passed.
"I really don't know, like I said before, Videl hasn't said a word to me ever since we left her house." Sharpner stated.
"Oh really?" she looked down at her watch. 'It's been about 4 mins. I'm going to see if she needs any help!' "I'll be right back." she said as she got up from the chair she was sitting in.
"Videl?" Erasa asked as she walked into the bathroom.
"In here." she called out,"shut the door." Erasa did as she was told and walked over to the stall she was in.
"Need any help?" she asked as she opened the door. All of a sudden Erasa bursted out into laughter. Videl was standing up, trying to put on her dress with one hand, and fixing her long black hair with the other hand.
"SHUT UP AND GET OVER HERE AND HELP ME!!!" Videl shouted. Erasa looked at Videl like she had just grown three heads, but quickly obeyed. Finally they got the dress on. Videl walked towards the mirror to see what she looked like. She sighed when she saw what she looked like. A mess. Her hair was messy and she didn't have any of her make-up on.
"How am I going to pull this off? I don't know how to fix my hair right or put on make-up." she sobbed. Erasa walked over towards her and put her hand on her shoulder.
"I'll help." she replied.
Videl turned around her and said,"You will? What about your date?"
"Ah, he can wait. Now lets get you ready for the ball Cinderella."
"Please don't call me that." Videl replied with a smile.
~*about 11 mins later*~
"Wow! You look great!" Erasa exclamed.
"You really think so?" Videl asked looking in the mirror. The dress was wonderful on her and her hair was put up in a curled, high pony-tail with curled strands falling down.
"How were you able to do this in such a short time?" Videl asked eying her.
"Many, many times of short notices of sneaking out." Erasa replied smoothly.
"Well, you go out first and I'll follow." Videl instructed. Erasa nodded in agreement and walked out.
"Bout time." stated Sharpner who was a little annoyed at the fact that no one was paying attention to him.
"I think she should be out in a minute." replied Erasa.
"So..." Erasa had Sharpner talking about why he wanted to be just like Hercule,(A/N: Does he mean that he wants to be stupid and clueless just like Hercule, guess so, hehehe) Sharpner was so caught up in his conversation that he didn't even notice Videl slip out of the resturant. Erasa did, however, and just as Videl left, her date arrived.
"Gotta go." she said quickly and left Sharpner sitting there with a clueless expression.
"Finally." breathed Videl, she walked up towards the side of the road and put her hand up for a taxi. One stopped and she hopped in. 'I'm ready for my night at the ball with my prince charming, Gohan.'

"Get down here!" Erasa yelled.
Videl snapped out of her thoughts and went down stairs.
"Bout time, I thought you went back to bed."
"No, I didn't. So what do we have to do first?" Videl replied.
"Well, first we have to tell Gohan that you will meet him in the park. Oh, I forgot to tell you, that's where the dance is."
"Really, I thought it was going to be at school."
"Nope, the principal didn't want to have to pay the janiters extra to clean up the big mess."
"Well, then how are we going to have the dance?"
"I heard that they're setting up a great, big, huge tent. It's all white and they say that you'll be able to see the stars through the tent."
"How do you know?" Videl asked.
"I have my connections." Erasa said smiling.

"What?" Videl asked as she came out of the trance she was in. "Listen, I can't tell you why. At least not now."
"I guess so, yeah. Well is there anything else?"
"No that's all. Sorry, but I just can't tell you. Trust me though, someday I will, hopefully." then she hung up, leaving Gohan wondering what was going on.
"Videl sat the phone back on the charger and went down stairs to talk to Erasa. "All done."
"That was fast. So let me guess, you called him and told him he can't pick you up and then hung up. Am I right?"
"Either you were eais-dropping or you know me way too well." Videl replied as she sat down on the table.
"Now, let's call Sharpner and tell him that he can pick you up at 4:00. Also that you have made an appointment at 'Shi Lemoin' for 4:30 got that?" Videl nodded.
"Now, this date I don't care what you're going to wear. Just as long as it's not fancy. I don't see the need to being that you're going to ditch him." Erasa stated. Videl started to giggle. "Next like I said before, I'll strole in and make a little small talk. Then-"
"Then you'll leave and drop off the dress in the bathroom. Next, I'll spill some type of drink, whatever I order, and go to the bathroom, change and finally make a quick exit while you do a little bit of sweet talking. I don't care what you say to him, as long as it isn't about me. Got that?" Videl finished for her.
"Got it." After the conversation, Erasa went straight to work, calling the resturant to make the reservations for Videl and Sharpner. While Videl called Sharpner and told him what time to pick her up and when Sharpner was going to take her to dinner. Sharpner was a little bit taken back that she went and prepared everything, but in the end he went along with it. Thinking that he would get something out of it.(Boy is he wrong!) Over all it took them until 2:45.
"I gotta go and call Brad and tell him that he can pick me up at 'Shi Lemion'" Erasa said as she was leaving.
"You're going out with Brad Commings, the captian of the football team?" Videl asked amazed that she was date-less last night.
"Yeah, he called me this morning and asked if I would go with him. He also said he tried to aske me yesterday after school, but couldn't find me. I gotta go get ready for the dance. See ya later Cinderella." Erasa said as she walked out the door.
"Wait, you still have a few hours before you even think about getting ready for the dance!" Videl called out.
"I know, I barely have enough time to get my hair done!" she shouted back and walked outside. Videl just got up and decided to go train in one of her father's training rooms.
~*Gohan's house, after Videl hung up*~
"That was strange." Gohan muttered.
"Gohan, come here, I have something to show you!" yelled his mother.
"Coming!" he shouted getting off the living room couch. "Yeah?"
"Here, try this on!" she said giving him a box with a red bow around it. Gohan opened it up with great pleasure.
"Wow! Th-this is wonderful! Thanks mom!" Gohan said as he pulled out a pure white tuxedo. He put the tuxedo back in the box and gave her a hug.
"Where did you get it?" he asked once he let her go.
"It was your father's." she whispered.
"Oh." Gohan felt a tighting in his chest. He missed his father so much and he could tell that it just about killed his mother every day knowing that he isn't there with her to see Goten grow up. To be there for Goten when he was there for Gohan.
"It's great mom, thank you." he gave her another hug, seeing that she was on the verge of tears. "I'm going to try it on. I'll be right back." he ran up the stairs and tried it on. It fitted and looked prefect. He quickly walked down stairs to show his mom.
"Hey mom, what do you-" he stopped talking because as he was going down stairs, he noticed that Bulma was there, talking to Chi-chi.
"Oh Gohan, you look wonderful!" exclaimed Bulma. Chi-chi could only stare. He looked so much like Goku on their wedding day.
"Mom, what do you think?" Gohan asked turning around so she could see how it looked all over. She nodded in agreement of what Bulma said.
"Perfect Gohan, perfect."
"Now, Gohan do you want me to give you a car? I just happen to have a capsule of a black jaguar and a blck lamberginie with me." Bulma said winking at Chi-chi.
"Accually, Videl asked if I could meet her at the dance."
"And why is that?" Chi-chi asked sounding a little mad that hid date didn't want him to pick her up for the dance.
"I don't know, she said she couldn't tell me now."
"Oh really?" Bulma asked raising an eyebrow at Gohan.
"Yeah, that's what she said. Now if you will excuse me, I told Vegeta that I would have a sparring match before I get ready for the dance."
"Okay Gohan, well do you know what time you'll be back?" asked Chi-chi.
"I don't know. Let's see, the dance starts around 5:00, so I'll be home around 4:00. sound good?"
"Fine, see ya, until then." she replied.
"I'll go with you Gohan, lord only knows what Vegeta is up to. See ya later Chi-chi."
"Bye Bulma. Be home at 4:00 Gohan!"
"Alright!" he snapped back not meaning to raise his voice at his mother.
"HEY! DO YOU WANT ME TO GET OUT THE FRYING PAN, MISTER!?" yelled a mad Chi-chi.
"No, no, no, no don't do that. I gotta go." and with that he took off.
~*C.C. about 2 hours and 40 mins later*~
"So, you are going out with that ass holes daughter tonight?" Vegeta asked as he and Gohan walked into C.C. after 2 hours of training.
"Why do you care?" Gohan asked.
"Because I need to know if I'm going to gave to look for a new sparring partner!" Vegeta snapped.
"And why is that?" Gohan asked.
"Because you might be spending all of your time with your new girlfriend."
"I didn't know you cared. Don't worry you still have a partner. Even though you know that you'll never beat me in sparring." Gohan replied with a smirk on his face.
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" shouted Vegeta. Gohan took off still smiling. He had done what he had wanted to do, piss off Vegeta. (Now you know that Gohan is going to go home and get ready for the dance, I really don't feel like writing that part so I'm going to skip that part for now, I think.)
~*Videl's house*~
Videl looked over at the clock in her father's training room, 3:15
'I better get everything ready!' she thought as she walked out of the room and ran up to get ready for her 'date' with Sharpner.
She walked in her room and went to her closet door. Videl hadn't put the dress in the closet, she just left it on a hanger which was hanging on the door knob. Videl took the dress off the hanger and folded the dress and put it in the duffel bag.
"I wouldn't have that folded up too long, it might cause it to wrinkle." came a voice. Videl turned to see Mary.
"Oh, thanks."
"So are you getting ready for your pretend date with Sharpner?" Mary asked walking into Videl's room.
"How did you know about that?" asked a shocked Videl.
"Well....one: I heard you and Erasa talking about your plan this morning. Two: Every time your father talks to you about Sharpner, all you say is how stupid, rude, mean, and well just about every bad quality under the sun about him. I really didn't believe you when you told your father that you wouldn't go out with that other boy. And three: I've seen the way you look at him when he walks you home, or whenever you talk to him on the phone."
"Oh." Videl said as she looked down at the white carpet.
"Does he know?"
"Excuse me?" Videl asked.
"Does he know you're going with someone else?"
"Do you mean Gohan?"
"Yes, does Gohan know about your plan?"
"Oh no, I couldn't tell him." Videl replied looking at the floor again.
"Well, do you need any help?" Mary asked.
"I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I have to change into my dress. See I'm just going to put on some grungy clothes when I go out with Sharpner. But..." her voice trailed off.
"But what are you going to do when you have to get ready for Gohan in the bathroom?" Mary finished for her.
"Would you please help me?" Videl asked in a small voice.
"Alright." Mary said smiling.
"Thanks." Videl said with a long sigh.
~*5 mins. before 4:00*~
"Now just remember what I told and showed you, okay?" Mary said after she and Videl spent the last 80 mins going over how Videl could put on
make-up and fix her hair to make it look really cute. "Now if you have any problems, all you have to do is get your friend Erasa to help you out."
"Okay, I think I've got it." Videl replied nodding. Just then the door bell rang. Videl's eyes widened, 'I haven't even gotten ready! I have to find my sweat pants and sweater!' Videl thought.
"Mary get that and please take your time!" Videl said quickly. Mary nodded and walked down the stairs very slowly. Videl raced in and out of her closet trying to find the uglyest thing in her entire wardrobe.
"Aha! I found it!" Videl shouted. She found a brown shirt with a lot of shapes and strips. Her father had given it to her for a present. Videl then grabbed a pair of gray sweat pants. She quickly put the ugly clothes on and frizzed her hair up. She looked in the mirror.
"Perfect." she said to herself. She ran downstairs to see Erasa and Mary sitting down at the table talking.
"Wow! You really went all out on this didn't you!" Erasa exclamed.
"Oh, um...what are you doing here? I thought that you were going to meet me at the resturant."
"Okay, well let me go get it." Videl replied as she raced up the stairs to get her dress and make-up. She put all her things in the bag and gave it to Erasa."Here you go." she said,"You'd better hurry, Sharpner will be here any moment. And he can't see you Erasa."
"I know, I'll get out the back."
"Fine, she you at 'Shi Lemoin' bye."
"Bye." just then the doorball rang again.
"Go!" shouted Videl. Erasa raced out of the dining room and headed for the back door. Videl walked over to the front door and answered it. This time it was Sharpner.
"Uh...hi." he said when he saw what Videl looked like.
"Hi are you ready?" she replied.
"You're not getting dressed? I mean 'Shi Lemoin' is a really fancy place."
"So what? Oh, let me go find my dad to let him know I'm leaving." as if on cue, Hercule walked in.
"Videl are you going to the dance with Sharpner?"
"Yeah, we were just leaving. Sharpner is taking me out to 'Shi Lemoin' so we really have to get going." she said walking over to her dad and giving him a small kiss on the cheek.
"And you're dressed like that?" Videl nodded in response.
Hercule gave her a stupid look before yelling,"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND!?"
"No, I just don't feel like dressing up." she leaned over to his right ear,"Just the same reason why you wont let me go out with Gohan. You have a reason about why I can't go out with Gohan and you wont tell me. So I have a reason why I want to wear something like this and I wont tell you." she whispered. "I gotta go." she replied in a smooth voice. Videl grabbed Sharpner's arm and steered him out of the house. She then pulled out a capsule and released a red sports car.
"Nice ride." Sharpner said as he checked out the car.
"Just get in. Oh and I'm driving." she said smoothly. They rode in silence to the resturant, Videl gave the keys to the vala parker, and walked inside.
"Excuse me, but do you have reservations?" asked a snoody waiter. Videl turned her head so he could get a look at her.
"Ms.Satan, why you look lovely tonight. May I show you to your seats?"
"Whatever." she replied.(I know Videl seems kinds mean, but wouldn't you be mad if your father said you couldn't go out with the person you loved for no good reason?) He showed her to her table and asked what she wanted.
"Water." she replied.
"I'll have a glass of shampane." Sharpner said. Videl kept her eyes glued to the front doors.
'Where is she!?' she thought. 'Come on Erasa, get here.' Finally Videl spotted her. Erasa walked in and went straight for the bathroom, carrying the duffel bag with her. About 5 mins later, Erasa walked out of the bathroom and over towards Videl and Sharpner's table.
"Hi, hows your date?" she asked them.
"Just fine." said Sharpner, he leaned towards her and whispered,"Except I wish Videl would talk to me, she hasn't said a single word since we left her house." Erasa pushed back her laugh. She then walked over behind Sharpner and put up 3 fingers.
'I take it that my bag is in the 3rd stall.' Videl thought and nodded her head in response.
"So Erasa, what are you doing here?" Videl finally asked.
"Oh, I'm waiting for my date to show up." Erasa replied smoothly, showing a small smirk.
"Oh really and uh......OHHHH!" at this point Videl tipped over her glass of water, which spilled all over her pants and parts of her shirt.
"I have to go to the bathroom." she said quickly and headed towards the bathroom. "Now, where is it?" she said looking for the stall. "There." she shouted when she had found it.
~*Meanwhile*~
"So, are you having a good time?" Erasa asked after about 10 mins had passed.
"I really don't know, like I said before, Videl hasn't said a word to me ever since we left her house." Sharpner stated.
"Oh really?" she looked down at her watch. 'It's been about 4 mins. I'm going to see if she needs any help!' "I'll be right back." she said as she got up from the chair she was sitting in.
"Videl?" Erasa asked as she walked into the bathroom.
"In here." she called out,"shut the door." Erasa did as she was told and walked over to the stall she was in.
"Need any help?" she asked as she opened the door. All of a sudden Erasa bursted out into laughter. Videl was standing up, trying to put on her dress with one hand, and fixing her long black hair with the other hand.
"SHUT UP AND GET OVER HERE AND HELP ME!!!" Videl shouted. Erasa looked at Videl like she had just grown three heads, but quickly obeyed. Finally they got the dress on. Videl walked towards the mirror to see what she looked like. She sighed when she saw what she looked like. A mess. Her hair was messy and she didn't have any of her make-up on.
"How am I going to pull this off? I don't know how to fix my hair right or put on make-up." she sobbed. Erasa walked over towards her and put her hand on her shoulder.
"I'll help." she replied.
Videl turned around her and said,"You will? What about your date?"
"Ah, he can wait. Now lets get you ready for the ball Cinderella."
"Please don't call me that." Videl replied with a smile.
~*about 11 mins later*~
"Wow! You look great!" Erasa exclamed.
"You really think so?" Videl asked looking in the mirror. The dress was wonderful on her and her hair was put up in a curled, high pony-tail with curled strands falling down.
"How were you able to do this in such a short time?" Videl asked eying her.
"Many, many times of short notices of sneaking out." Erasa replied smoothly.
"Well, you go out first and I'll follow." Videl instructed. Erasa nodded in agreement and walked out.
"Bout time." stated Sharpner who was a little annoyed at the fact that no one was paying attention to him.
"I think she should be out in a minute." replied Erasa.
"So..." Erasa had Sharpner talking about why he wanted to be just like Hercule,(A/N: Does he mean that he wants to be stupid and clueless just like Hercule, guess so, hehehe) Sharpner was so caught up in his conversation that he didn't even notice Videl slip out of the resturant. Erasa did, however, and just as Videl left, her date arrived.
"Gotta go." she said quickly and left Sharpner sitting there with a clueless expression.
"Finally." breathed Videl, she walked up towards the side of the road and put her hand up for a taxi. One stopped and she hopped in. 'I'm ready for my night at the ball with my prince charming, Gohan.'
