"GOHAN!! PLEASE I'M SORRY!!! I'LL NEVER EVER AS LONG AS I LIVE TELL ANYONE YOU'RE SAIYAMAN!!! JUST PLEASE DON'T!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Videl screamed at the top of her lungs and her toes touched the cold Arctic water.

Vegeta laughed at the human's antics, "This is better entertainment than watching those weakling human shows on TV!" the prince exclaimed. He laughed again as Gohan dipped the chopper into the icy water and Videl scrambled higher in an attempt to escape getting hypothermia.

Gohan laughed along with the older saiyan. "Yeah! But this time its for real!" They both laughed as Videl burst into tears hysterically begging them to stop.

*Briiiiiiiig*

"Fuck. Where'd I put that . . . ." Vegeta reached into multiple pockets of his pants.

*Briiiiiiiig*

Vegeta pulled out a cell phone from the back pocket of his pants, "What? Why? Like hell I won't!!! If you're so intent on it then why don't you - . But - . What the hell is HE doing there?! That son of a - I'll be right there in 5 minutes, and if he does anything. . . . yeah c - ya." The saiyan prince put the cell phone away and turned to the halfling, "Something's come up. I'll have to go. But don't let that ruin your fun." Then he was gone zooming off at hyper speed.

Gohan sighed at the loss of his companion. He really liked it when Vegeta was around, especially when he was torturing some poor defenseless something (A/N: Now what happened to the innocent Gohan?), it was kind like having a father around. Ever since his own father had sacrificed himself. . . . he had no male role model to look up to, no male individual actually living to idolize. His dad after all had been coming in and out of his life, going away as soon as he came back, reappearing then soon after disappearing once again. Trunks was lucky, his dad at the very least was always there for him helping him up, in his own strange way, after he'd fallen.

"G. . . . Gohan. . . please. . . I'm. . . I'm sorry. I'll k. . . keep my mouth shut if. . . you let me go. . . I swear it!" Videl stuttered. She held onto the bottom of the chopper tail desperately trying to escape the chilling waters of hell.

Gohan sighed irritably, "Fine. I'll take you back now, but if you blab. . . you of all people know I can destroy and entire army - no sweat. So if you tell anyone - ANYONE - that I am 'Saiyaman'. . . . . well let's just say that things won't be pretty." The halfling tossed the chopper aside and grabbed Satan's daughter's by the leg and started flying back to civilization.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------

"Gohan. Where were you? School ended about 3 hours ago." Chi Chi said not a hint of worry in her voice. Which momentarily shocked Gohan, usually his mom would be screaming her head off by now. He sat down, opposite to his brother, at the dining table and eyed his mother suspiciously.

"Um. . . .err. . . I was just um. . .err. . ." Gohan stuttered, {Dammit, what do I say now?! If I tell mom I was torturing some girl in the presence of Vegeta up in the Arctic. . . .I'm a dead man walking.}

Chi Chi smiled kindly at her sons and set a big bowl of spicy crab corn soup (A/N: I LOVE crab corn *eats some crab corn soup* hehehehe. . ). "Let me guess. You were probably out sparring with Piccolo again weren't you? Well if you were then let me just say that I'm glad that you're getting to know her better." She giggled, "Any chances of a grandchild for your old mum?"

Gohan spit his orange juice right in Goten's face, Goten, meanwhile, was choking on a piece of fish. The two brothers gave each other a 'is-mom- taking-drugs-or-what' look. "Mom. Are you feeling okay?" Gohan said slowly and carefully.

"Yeah. . . Are you okay?" Goten said as if explaining something very complicated to a 5 year old, he put a hand on his mom's head and checked her temp. Sure Goten was naïve at times, but even he knew that his mom hated the namekian female known as Piccolo. "You don't have a fever."

Chi Chi laughed and put Goten back in his seat, "I was expecting you two to react this way. So here are my reasons for thinking that Gohan should be allowed to date Piccolo. Well first of all, I was just thinking of way back when I was a child and I fell in love with your father, and I was thinking of how I felt all tingly when ever I saw him, then I thought of how selfishly I've been depriving your brother of feeling that way." She observed that both her sons were halfway out of their seats and looked ready to bolt for the door. "Don't worry I'm not on drugs. Second of all, I'm getting old and before I die I want to see to it that I at least have one grandchild." Chi Chi smiled, she sat down and started eating.

Both of the two relaxed a bit and started eating as well, but were still alert at every movement their mother made. "Oh stop it you two! I'm not crazy. Aren't the reasons I gave you good enough?"

* The next day*

*Ding Dong*

"Just a sec!" Gohan called from the living room, he switched off the TV, walked to the door and opened it, "Hello, how may I. . . . . help you." Gohan's eyes widened as he came eye to eye with Piccolo (they're the same height), but it wasn't the mere fact that Piccolo had even bothered to ring the doorbell, nope, it was the fact that she was dressed up. She was wearing a tight black sleeveless turtle neck, a black dress with a cut on one side, a black leather silver buckled belt, black high heeled boots, a black leather wrist band with spikes on left arm, a black fingerless glove on her right hand, and black ankle bands. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail by a long black ribbon, loose strips of hair formed on either side of her face. (A/N: And no, she is not a satanist, no she is not goth, no no NO!!!)

"I'm here to have a talk with Chi Chi." Piccolo said flicking her hair back. Gohan just stared at the namek at his doorstep wondering if this was a dream. Piccolo growled irritably after a while of immobility from the halfling, "Fine. Since your obviously far too engrossed with your busy schedule to invite me into your home, I'll just waltz in and go chat with your mother now." with that the namekian pushed aside the still gawking half human and walked towards the kitchen muttering about idiots.

After a few minutes of trying to process the current information into his brain, Gohan closed the front door then punched himself very hard in the arm, sure enough he felt pain (and swore some curses) and he was sure that what he just saw wasn't a dream. He closed the door quietly behind him, and walked up to his room he went over to the left corner of his room and carefully pried loose a part of the floor board. "This is best chance I have at the moment, better make use of it." he said to himself. The halfling pulled out a phial of the love potion he had received earlier from Vegeta and put it carefully into his pocket. Then he crept downstairs toward the kitchen.

"So then Marcus goes, "Um. . . fishes?"." Feminine laughter floated out of the living room where the two ladies were talking.

Gohan took a deep breath and entered the den, "Would you two like some tea?" the halfling said carrying a tray of tea and cakes. Piccolo and Chi Chi were sitting on the couch talking like two old friends.

Chi Chi beamed, "Why Gohan. How thoughtful of you, sure bring it here and why don't why don't join us?" she said. Gohan placed the tea tray onto the coffee table and handed the two women a cup of tea, then poured some for himself.

"So Gohan I was just talking to Piccolo here and I asked her if she'd like to go out with you sometime." the raven haired woman said taking a sip from her tea. Gohan's ears perked up and waited tensely for not only Piccolo's answer but also for Piccolo to take a sip from her tea, "And she said she'd go with you."

Piccolo drank all her tea in one gulp, she shrugged, "I've always wondered what the city looked like." She didn't seem in the least bit affected by the elixir.

"Okay. So when do you want to go? How 'bout six . . . . . tonight?" The halfling thought that maybe by then the love potion would've taken full effect.

"Whatever. Its not like I have anything better to do with my time anyway." Piccolo said. She got up to her feet and turned to face Chi Chi, "I've gotta go, Tabit goes berserk if I leave him alone for too long. Later." And before either of the two could respond she went out the window and was gone.

Chi Chi shook her head a smile pursed on her lips, "You two would make such a great pair, seeing as both of you insist on using the window rather than the door." She got up and walked into the kitchen.
