Hey everyone! This is THE long-awaited sequel to You Were Never There! This
IS THE "Troublesome Heart: The Sequel To You Were Never There!" Anyway, a
couple of things have changed, or have added. Chihan?
Chihan: Yeah. Um, this {means Gohan's thoughts when he is talking telepathically with Videl} [this means Videl's thoughts when she is talking telepathically with Gohan] this ~~`~~ still means scene change, this *still means thoughts* and talking is still regular. Oh, and if you see this /with something here/ that means something CG wants to put in italics or it's something she's trying to tell you.
CG: Yep! Anyway, no, I don't own DBZ. *I hate stupid disclaimers*
Everyone: AND ON WITH THE SHOW- I MEAN, THE STORY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: WAAAHHH! The Sugar Attack! And the Dizziness Spells! What Does it All Mean?
~~`~~
Gohan grinned. "YO! SHARPNER! WHAT'S UP!"
Sharpner stared at Gohan, goggle-eyed. "Dude, I know you were out for a long time, but, like, are you feeling all right?"
Gohan grinned even wider, if it was possible. "Perfectly fine, Sharpner. Perfectly fine....."
It had been three whole weeks, three whole weeks since that day when he yelled at his parents. Three whole weeks since that day when his nightmares had come back. Three whole weeks since that day when he was infected by that virus. Three whole weeks since that day when he had 'died.' And three whole weeks since Videl suggested they should get married.
They hadn't told anyone yet, though. It was their secret. If any of their friends found out, they'd be hysterical. Chichi would faint and Krillin would kill himself laughing. Goku would be saying embarrassing things all the time, and Vegeta was going to start talking about 'mating.' Eventually Trunks and Goten would go hyper on it too. No, not yet, but when they got out of school. And school ended in two weeks. Two weeks until they got married. Only two, two, TWO very very very long weeks....
Sharpner waved a hand in front of Gohan. "Dude, snap out of it! We've got homeroom!"
Gohan slipped out of his thoughts, grinning like crazy. "Lead the way, Sharpner!"
~~`~~
Videl slid into her seat next to Gohan after pecking him lightly on his cheek. Gohan smiled at her. "Hey Videl."
Videl mocked surprise. "OH MY GOD! SON GOHAN CAME TO SCHOOL EARLY!" she pretended to faint.
Gohan punched her. "Come ON, Videl!"
Videl laughed and hugged him. "Sorry, but you have to admit it, it's surprising to see you come to school on time."
"Well, I felt so great, I got a great sleep, so I'm already for school, so I woke up before Mom could scream in my ear, and I haven't been to school for a long time, so in a way I was looking forward to it, so I came early!"
Erasa stared at the black-haired teenager. "Gohan, are you OK?"
Videl sighed. "Did you by any chance eat any cookies on the table at your house today?"
Gohan nodded, almost bouncing with energy.
Videl shook her head as she explained to her shocked friends. "Gohan's little brother, that's Goten, he has this- um- 'thing' about sugar. Everything he makes is with sugar. And I think he makes his cookies with sugar too, and is always trying to get Gohan to eat them. Gohan was probably really hungry this morning, ("When isn't he?" Sharpner muttered) and he ate the cookie without thinking. So," she looked at Gohan. "that's why he's so hyper. Something in his blood makes him extra hyper when he eats sugar, more hyper than the rest of us."
Just then Videl's explanation was ruined by Gohan. "HEY TEACH!" he yelled, causing some snickering from the class and a weird expression on the teacher's face.
"Hello, Son Gohan. It is-um- nice to see you back, even if you ARE loaded up with energy...."
Gohan just grinned like crazy.
~~`~~
It was lunchtime.
Gohan groaned. "Oh man, I am personally going to KILL Goten! That wasn't fair at all! He knew I was going to act that way in school!"
Videl stuck out her tongue at him. "It's your fault for being such a pig, pig. You should have seen what you were eating! You knew that sugar makes you go hyper and then you get a kind of hangover!"
"Wow! A hangover from sugar! You're the weirdest dude ever, dude!" Sharpner stated. "That's official, coming from the officially awesome dude himself!"
Videl rolled her eyes. Then her attention went back to her boyfriend. "Gohan, come on, stop sitting there like a sick duck and eat!"
Gohan groaned unhappily again. "Waaahhh, I want to eat, my mouth is drooling, but I don't feel hungry! And Mom went through so much trouble packing these capsules!"
Just then the lunch bell rang. Videl gathered up her remaining lunch. "Come on, pig, it's time for social studies!"
Gohan groaned again and was dragged off roughly by Videl.
~~`~~
Gohan stuffed his social studies book back into his locker. He sighed with weariness. That sugar had really wore his energy down.
Videl cocked and eyebrow at Gohan. "Gohan, you OK?"
Gohan smiled. "Yea, I'm perfec-" His head suddenly felt like it was whirling around and around on a roller coaster.
Videl frowned. "Gohan? Gohan? Hel-lo!"
Gohan started at the sound of Videl's voice. "Oh, sorry Videl. I just felt a little tired, that's all." He glanced at the schedule taped to his locker. "Um, we have science next."
Videl knew something was wrong with Gohan, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. *Oh well.* She shook the thought off and followed Gohan to science class.
~~`~~
"Son Gohan? SON GOHAN!" the teacher screamed at the top of his lungs.
Gohan woke with a start. "Huh? Where am I?" he asked sleepily, to the amusement of his fellow classmates. "Oh, yeah... I'm at school." Recognition dawned on him. "Oh no! I fell asleep in science class!"
"Yes, mister Son. I would appreciate it greatly if you would pay attention to my studies! If you continue in this way, I will have to send a note home to your parents!" he peered over the top of his glasses at the sleepy teenager before turning around to write something on the board. "Now, class, let's review the Punnett Square..."
Gohan's mind wandered off again, to anywhere but his studies. His eye caught Videl's, whose eyes clearly said, 'Why did you fall asleep?'
{I don't know.} he said telepathically.
[Are you feeling all right?]
{Why does everyone keep asking me that? It's probably just the sugar.}
[I don't know... maybe you should go to the doctor's or something.]
{NO WAY! I'M NOT SICK, OK?}
[Fine, suit yourself.]
"SON GOHAN! SATAN VIDEL!"
Both Videl and Gohan looked at their teacher, embarrassed. "What have I told you, Gohan! Keep your mind on school! You too, Videl! I'm surprised at both of you! You're usually the best students in the school! NOW WAKE UP!"
"Yes, sir." They both mumbled.
The teacher snorted and turned back to the board again. "Now, as I was saying, the combination is Pp and pp, who can tell me what this means..." (/A/N: I've been studying Punnett squares in school all day so it's really getting on my nerves!/)
~~`~~
"Class dismissed!"
Gohan sighed with relief and dashed out the room. Only two more periods to go, then he was FREE! FREE AT LAST! OH HOW DELICIOUS FREEDOM TASTED! (/A/N: Sorry, I'm hyper./)
Then it hit him again. Even worse than before.
Gohan groaned quietly in pain, held his head in a vain effort to try and stop it from hurting, and ducked inside his locker to muffle his groans.
Videl looked at Gohan quizzically. "Gohan! What's wrong? Are you OK? No, you're not OK, are you? Gohan!"
Gohan grasped the baggy part of his shirt to try and stop himself from tearing everything in sight apart. Slowly his frantic breathing slowed into a normal, monotonous lull.
Videl took Gohan by the shoulders and whirled him around so he faced her. "Gohan! What's wrong with you? Please tell me!"
Gohan looked anywhere but into Videl's eyes. "I, I don't know, Videl..."
Videl sighed. From knowing Gohan for this long of a time, she knew he had no clue what was wrong with him. "It can't be the side effects of sugar, can it?"
Gohan sighed too. "No, because Goten crams the stuff down his mouth all the time, and the only side effect he gets is a major headache and getting VERY hyper."
Videl tried to think, but her thoughts were interrupted by the period bell. "Shoot! That's the bell! We're late! The teacher is gonna kill us!" She looked at Gohan, and saw his face was screwed up in pain. "GOHAN! Is it happening again?"
Gohan stopped mutating his locker for a second so he could nod, then continued tearing it apart.
"Where does it hurt, Gohan?"
"My head...my arm... my stomach... everywhere!"
Videl's eyes widened. "Oh man, Gohan, what are we going to do?"
As suddenly as it had come, the pain went away. Gohan looked at Videl, who looked at his locker. They both sighed. "It's going to cost a lot to install a new door..."
~~`~~
Gohan raised his hand. "Can I go to the bathroom?"
The LA teacher sighed. "How many times have I told you students, it's 'may I', not 'can I'. But yes, you MAY go to the bathroom."
Gohan got up and left, ignoring Videl's stare.
Halfway to the bathroom, Gohan clutched his stomach. It was happening again! The world spun around and around, and his head throbbed with pain. This time, though, it wouldn't go away! *Make it stop!* Gohan's mind screamed. He gasped for air and squeezed his locker door, which happened to be hanging right next to him.
The pain was even worse than before, and it was unbearable. The hallway started going out of focus.
Gohan screamed once, his voice laden with pain. Then he slid to the ground, his back on the lockers, unconscious. And there he lay, unnoticed, with life going on around him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes! That is how this chapter ends! Guess what is going on inside Gohan... HA! I WON'T TELL YOU! Sorry, I am hyper. Anyway, like always, THREE reviews please and you get to find out what happens next!
