Note: Well, another day, another chapter to write. Well with this being spring break, and seeing how I have no life of my own to speak of, I have plenty of free time. So I think I can devote more time to this story. Well, enjoy chapter 7, and please remember to review when you finish reading, I really enjoy reading all those reviews. :)
Disclaimer: Me own something?? HA! I don't even own the clothes on my back! My parent's do until I'm 18 years old I hear…
Due to my very unpolished writing skills, there will undoubtedly be some OOC moments in this story, and all I can say is I'm sorry!
'I don't think I'll ever get used to that.' Bulma stared blankly at the three, pigging out, dimi-saiyans in awe. "Uh, guys… I think you three have had enough."
"Awww, come on mom! I want more ice cream!"
"YA! Pppplllleeeaaaassseeee?" Goten pulled out his "puppy eyes" look. Bulma rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Come on now. You don't want to put this place out of business, do you?" Gohan looked towards the store's front counter.
"Well Bulma, I think it's maybe a bit too late for that." He smirked towards the bewildered cashier, who looked at the three with a blank, dazed look on his face. "From the look of him, I'd say we'd be banned from returning. That is IF he can snap out of that state of shock to tell us." Bulma giggled.
"True. Then again, I've gotten used to that sort of thing. Vegeta was about to kill this one man for requesting we leave his restaurant, after eating them out of house and home." [1] Gohan smiled.
"Well, I think its time I took Goten here home. Mom's probably going to be worried sick!" Bulma smiled.
"Probably not. I told her about taking Goten out for Ice Cream, and probably guessed why you're late. Still you should head home. Oh! And don't forget! Be at the Capsule Corp. at 2 on Saturday. See you then." Gohan grinned, taking Goten's hand to lead him out of the store. As soon as they were a good distance away from any people, the two brothers took off into the air, heading for home.
"MOMMY! WE'RE BACK MOMMY!" Goten sped ahead of Gohan, rushing through the door, almost knocking it off its hinges. Gohan could hear his mother from outside the house.
"Goten! Sweetie! Do you have any idea where your bother is?" Gohan internally cringed.
"Ya mommy! Gohan's outside! GOHAN! MOMMY WANTS YOU!!" Gohan walked through the door.
"Hi mom. Sorry I'm late getting home but…"
"And where exactly have you been young man? Himmm? Here I've been worried sick about you! You didn't tell me anything about being late! What about your studies? You have homework to do young man! Don't you want to make something of yourself??" Gohan sighed.
'Typical mom. Getting all worked up over tiny little things.' "Well mom. I was on my way home when I ran into Bulma, and she invited me to have ice cream with her, Goten, and Trunks. I'm sorry about being late, but if it makes you feel any better I finished my homework in class. It was simple anyway." Chi Chi's face softened.
"Aright then. I forgive you." Gohan let out a sigh of relief. "BUT YOU HAD BETTER NEVER MAKE ME WORRY LIKE THAT AGAIN MISTER!" Gohan gulped.
"Aright mom. Uh, I think I'll take Goten out to spar while you finish dinner. You know, get out of your hair?" He smiled hopefully as Goten perked his head up. Chi Chi's face turned thoughtful.
"Ok, I guess. But you two had better not be late for dinner! It's macaroni night!" Gohan nodded, took Goten's hand and left the house.
'Wow. I think she took that very well. Usually she'd rant for a good ten minutes, then get that frying pan of hers.' He unconsciously shuddered as the two brothers took off into the skies.
"Erasa? Erasa, can you hear me?" Videl and Sharpner stood over their fallen friend, lying on the sidewalk. "Erasa? Hello in there!" Videl leaned in to shake her friend. "Come on. Get up." Erasa began to stir.
"Huh? Videl?" Sharpner and Videl exchanged relived glances.
"Ya, I'm here Erasa. Are you okay? I think you may have hit your head a little too hard on the sidewalk." Erasa slowly nodded her head in groggy agreement.
"I know… My heads killing me. Man, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had… Gohan was good friends with Bulma Briefs! Funny huh?" She smiled weakly up to her friends.
"Uh… Erasa," Sharpner began, "that wasn't a dream. He left to go get ice cream with her." Erasa's face paled again.
"Oh. Is that all? Good to know I'm not crazy." Then she promptly passed out again on the sidewalk. Videl sighed.
"Great. Just great. Well then, what do we do with 'Sleeping Beauty' now Sharpner? We can't just leave her here!" He shrugged.
"I guess we take her home. She lives on my block, so I'll take her. K?" Videl nodded.
"Sure I guess. I got to get going anyway. Seeya tomorrow Sharpner." He turned towards the road, uncapsulating his car. Videl waved bye as he drove off to Erasa's. She brought out her chopper, taking off towards her house. 'I just can't believe it. I've only known the guy for two days and just look at him! He's a prince, the son of the legendary Son Goku, knows Master Roshi, Bulma Briefs, Yamcha, and to top it all off shows up at school the same day as the saiyan warrior resurfaces, dressed the same way! But he can't be the Saiyan Warrior if he was at school while I was at the hotel! How am I gonna figure all this out?? Nothing about Gohan makes since!' She glared at her house as she came in for a landing. "What am I gonna do to figure this guy out??!! It seems almost impossible! Kami! He's driving me to talking to myself!" Videl hopped out of her chopper, encapsulated it, and stormed into the house.
"Did you have a good day at school Miss Videl?" Jenkins eyed Videl's face with worry. "You don't seem to be in a good mood this afternoon. Is anything the matter?" Videl forced a smile.
"No. Everything's fine Jenkins. Thanks for asking. Uh… I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." Jenkins smiled.
"Very good madam. I will see you at dinner." Videl nodded and walked up the stairs.
'There has to be something I can do! It's going to eat at me until I figure him out! And Videl Satan gets what she wants, and this time will be no different! Watch out Son Gohan, I'll figure you out yet.' She plopped down onto her bed, and stared at the ceiling, her mind circling the know information about Gohan, over and over again. 'I can't believe this! Isn't there anything I can do to figure him out?? When can I get close enough without him claming up?? What a sec! Didn't Bulma say she was holding a reunion? It's perfect! When he's around his family and friends he'll be bound to slip something! Now all I have to do is think of how to go about doing this…' She smirked evilly, and began to plan 'Operation: Gohan.'
"Hey Glenn, you found that stupid tape yet?" Glenn turned towards his colleague.
"Nope, sure haven't Sam. How are we ever going to find anything in this stupid vault anyway! Channel 9 doesn't keep this place in order, and expect us to find the stupid "I Love Lucy" episodes that they haven't shown yet!" Sam frowned.
"Well, they gotta be in here SOMEWHERE! You check on those shelves, and I'll check by these old cameras."
"Sure Sam." They both turned back towards their work. Sam shifted through the old, broken cameras, looking to see if the tape was in any of them when…
"Glenn! Get over here!"
"What is it? You find the tape?"
"Nope" Glenn frowned.
"Then why the heck did you call me over here for?"
"Look at this." Glenn picked up the camera in question, examining it to see what had his partner in such an uproar.
"What about it? Its just a stupid camera." Sam's face broke out into a huge grin.
"It's from the Cell Games!"
"Ya. Your point?"
"An unbroken camera from the cell games! With the tape still inside!!" Glenn's eyes widened.
"You mean…" Sam's grin grew even wider.
"Yes I do. It means we're gonna be filthy rich when this is through." The duo broke out into laughter, then quickly took the tape to their supervisor.
Well. Things aren't looking too good for our friend Gohan, now are they? Next time, On Dragonball Z! Party at Bulma's! Will things go off without a hitch, or will a certain pesky classmate put a damper on things? Find out soon! BTW, sorry about not updating sooner, but things have been pretty hectic around here, and I've had almost no time to spend writing this fic! Things look to be clearing up, so I should have it updated again by this time next week. Till then, Seeya!
[1] With their appetite, what did you expect? They eat enough for 20 grown people, and that's just with little 7 year-old Goten alone! You have to admit that in the show it's funny to watch ANY of the Saiyans eat! They look like squirrels gathering nuts!
