Well dudes,
I would like to say something. Go to my profile page! A lot of people say things in reviews and I answer to those but because no one reads my profile page nobody finds out about this stuff. Please go there. On with the story.
Chapter 8: Making Plans
Gohan woke up from what little sleep he had he nigh before and go out of bed. Today was Monday and he had to go to school soon. He got up and took a shower. As he got dry he remembered about how his dad wanted him to get Goten out of the house for a few days. He figured that the best idea's for the first two nights were camping and staying at Kami's Lookout, but he still had no idea of what to do on the last.
*Well what else is there* he thought to himself as he pulled on his usual school outfit. He walked down to breakfast and found his brother and father both sitting there, waiting for him.
"It's about time" complained Goku "Chi Chi won't serve up breakfast without you here".
"Oh stop it" defended Chi Chi "Take a seat, Gohan, breakfast is almost ready". Gohan took his seat and waited for Chi Chi to dish up breakfast. They were having scrambled eggs and they were smelling absolutely delicious.
"So, Gohan, have you decided on where your bringing Goten?" asked Goku. Goten's face lit up.
"Huh? Where is Gohan taking me?" asked Goten.
"Well that's for Gohan to decide, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you invited Trunks along" replied Goku. He looked over and saw Gohan looking at him, as if to say "what the hell are you doing". Goku just grinned.
"Well, Gohan, where are we going?" asked Goten. He was looking at Gohan with a look that Gohan just could not refuse.
"Uh- Well, first we are going camping for a night, then, uh, oh yeah, we're going to stay with Dende for a night, and then, uh, I haven't quite figured out what we're doing on the third night" replied Gohan slowly, choking on his own words several times.
"Are you gonna take Videl?" asked Chi Chi, serving up the eggs.
"If she wants to" replied Gohan. Chi Chi was quite shocked. She was only poking fun but he really was going to invite her.
"Why don't you ask her for an idea of what to do on the third night" asked Goku who was already finished his first plate of eggs.
"Good idea" replied Gohan finishing his third plate. He looked at his watch. 9:07! Crap, he was late again.
"Gotta go, see ya" yelled Gohan as he ran to the door and took off.
*Damn, how could I be late again* he scolded himself. He flew as fast as he could to Satan City not wasting anytime. He managed to get there by 9:13 but he was still late. He stepped into the hall and ran to his classroom. He peered through the window to see that the teacher was yelling at the class.
*Darn it! It wouldn't be a very good idea to just stroll in and give him an excuse like "I overslept". He looks really pissed* he thought as he watched him send a kid out of the classroom. Just before the door opened he had an idea. The door opened and then- Gohan was in his seat. The only person who had noticed him was Videl.
"Well your late, but your in luck" she chirped "He still hasn't marked the role"
"Well that's a relief" Gohan sighed "Did anybody else notice I wasn't here?".
"Nope, your definitely lucky today" smirked Videl.
"Cool, I overslept, but at least this time I actually slept at all" he laughed. His stomach growled.
"I only had three bowels of eggs as well" he whined "I'm really hungry. I guess I'm gonna have to have a big lunch. Hmmm, A couple of pizzas will do quite nicely".
"I'm in just the mood for pizza so I think I'll join you" she said.
"Cool"
At that time the teacher called Videl's name. Videl nearly jumped out of her seat.
"Uh… present" she said when she realised what had happened. Gohan jumped to attention when he realised his name wasn't that far away. As expected the teacher called his name and Gohan (surprisingly) replied "present". From then on wards Gohan and Videl spent the lesson listening to the teacher blabber on about Kami knows what and passing notes to each other. The bell rang and they were out the door so quickly, you could have sworn they used the instant transmission.
They got to the Pizza place and ordered 12 large pizzas. They sat down in a corner booth and ate their pizza. Gohan was on his sixth pizza when he stopped and looked at Videl.
"Videl?" said Gohan.
"Yes" replied Videl
"I'm going camping with Goten and Trunks for a couple of nights and I was wondering if you want to come" asked Gohan. Videl sat there for a few moments thinking.
"Well, I'd love to but it's just my dad. I'll ask him but I can't guarantee anything" she replied as she started on her next piece of pizza.
"Okay. Oh, also, we are going for three nights but I have no idea of what to do that night. We are camping the first night, then we are gonna stay at Kami's Lookout but I don't know what to do on the last night" asked Gohan.
"Well, why don't you stay in a hotel for a night, we could even see a movie and go to fancy restaurants. I'm sure Goten and Trunks would love that" she replied, as she imagined Goten swinging on a chandelier in an incredibly posh restaurant while Trunks made faces while he pressed his face against the windows.
"Well, that certainly sounds like fun. I'll ask my dad and see what he thinks". They finished their pizzas without even noticing that in one booth behind them was Sharpner.
Gohan got home and went straight up to his room to do his homework. Goten came running in.
"Trunks is able to come" he announced, jumping up to hug Gohan "Will Videl be coming too, Gohan?". Just as Gohan was about to answer he heard Chi Chi call out to him.
"Gohan, Videl is on the phone" she called. Gohan raced down stairs and picked up the phone.
"Hey" he greeted.
"I can't be long cause I gotta run some errands for my dad, but, oddly enough he said I could come with you guys" she replied.
"Well, maybe he's warming up to me" said Gohan trying to think of an explanation.
"Yeah, maybe" she said "Well I gotta go. I'll see ya to tomorrow. Bye"
"Bye". Gohan put down the phone and turned to Goten.
"Is she coming?" he asked.
"Yeah, but it's hard to figure out how" replied Gohan.
The plot thickens. R+R.
