A/N: Aaaaaah!!! I have had writer's block for soooo long on this story! ( It sucks! But I'm all better now… and just to make up for it, I'm going to try and make this chapter extra good, and have some sort of goodies or something…
T-chan: Yeah, you better! You probably lost a whole bunch of your reviewers by now.
Lexi: No! My readers love me! I have more fans than the Great Satan Hercule!!!
T-chan: *sweatdrops* …dear god… Lexi, I think you should lay off the Pina Coladas for a bit… I know it's fun to play 'Let's Torture Gohan' with Dende, but honestly! You don't have to pick up all his bad habits!
Lexi: *grins* Don't worry—I just said that to find out how many people would notice… *dodges a couple of rotten tomatoes* And for your information, I hate Hercule. *thoughtful* but bashing him is really fun…
Disclaimer: I almost had my hands on DBZ back there, but that terrible bout of Writer's Block stole it away. Grrrr…
~*~ One Vindictive Genie… ~*~
(a/n: aren't you just dying to know why I named it that? ^~)
~*~
Krillin and Roshi landed at the front door of Bulma's house, and Krillin began inspecting the place for kis.
~Let's see here – Mirai Trunks, Gohan, that group of kids that Bulma's been showing around, Chichi, there's Bulma…~
Suddenly the full force of his previous thought hit him: Chichi was in a room with innocent youth, while Bulma was in another room!!! With a surge of concern, Krillin amended their agenda; first they had to save the class from Chichi, the others could wait! Frowning with concern, he pushed the door open and zipped off towards Chichi's ki. Pretty easy to do seeing as how it seemed to be growing by the second…
~*~
Gohan stared at his mother, mouth hanging open, oblivious to the multiple blows his head was receiving.
~Vegeta has Pan? Damnit!~
He snapped back to reality when the shower of hits came to an abrupt halt. If possible, his mouth dropped even further at the sight confronting him.
Videl and Chichi were playing Tug-a-War with the Frying Pan of Doom and Destruction™, shouting insults at each other.
He was almost too afraid to wonder which one would be the victor…
~*~
Krilin and Roshi tumbled to a halt by the open door, jaws dropping as they watched the deadly game. Suddenly Krillin wasn't quite so sure the teenagers needed rescuing from Chichi anymore…
Backing quickly away from The Room, the two martial artists began sprinting towards Bulma's ki as if their lives depended on it. Well, if they had somehow managed to get in the middle of those two…
Finding Launch and Tien had made the jump back up to top priority. Let Gohan deal with his own family.
~*~
Videl glared at the older woman. She was seriously pissed off about how this lady had just barged in and attacked HER Gohan. But as if that wasn't enough, now she dared to insult Videl!!!
With a final tug, both women tumbled to the ground, Frying Pan now in Videl's possession. Adjusting her grip on the deadly weapon, she stood up, eyeing the older woman keenly. Finally her questions about the woman's tirade overwhelmed her distaste.
"Who are you, what's that about Gohan getting kidnapped, and Pan's with who???"
~*~
Chichi stared in horror as the younger girl stood up; with her Frying Pan!!!
She scrambled to her feet, surreptitiously straightening her hair and dress, returning the girl's distasteful glare. Oh well, there was nothing for it. She might as well answer the girl's questions before demanding the return of her precious weapon of mass destruction.
"I'm Son Chichi, Gohan's mother. Gohan got kidnapped by his evil alien uncle when he was four, and, when his father died the first time and Bulma was supposed to be watching him, he got himself taken away by that horrid green man. And Pan is with that asshole of a prince, Vegeta. Not that you should care about any of this stuff… Now who are you?"
~*~
Bulma, Launch, and Tien all sat at the kitchen table, chatting merrily and laughing over coffee. Bulma was complimenting Launch on her dress, and the two women embarked on a giggly conversation about clothes, from which a flustered Tien prayed for a rescue.
Perhaps due to the fact that Kami had deserted his post, prayers seemed to be answered in strange and unusual ways. This one came in the form of Krillin and Roshi barreling through the door, gasping for breath.
Bulma's eyes widened, and she hurried over to the men. "Dear Kami, what happened to you two?"
Krillin gulped slightly as he finally caught his breath. "Um, we decided that we ought to look for Tien and Launch, and we sorta ran into trouble…" Krillin grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head as he had seen Goku do so many times before.
Bulma's eyes narrowed at the blushing Krillin, completely ignoring the panting old man at his side. "What do you mean by trouble?"
Krillin gulped again, searching for any place to rest his eyes except the irate blue haired woman. "Eh heh, funny thing actually… Well, we came across this room that had a bunch of kids in it…"
Bulma's eyes narrowed further as he confirmed what she has already guessed. "Alright buster, you better tell me exactly what happened in there, or I'll…"
"Alright Bulma! I'm telling you!" Krillin cried, throwing his hands up in surrender. "Chichi and some black haired girl with pig tails were fighting over Chichi's Frying Pan…"
A look of utmost horror dawned on the faces of all those present, and Tien bowed his head solemnly and sighed. "Well, I suppose we should at least dig the girl a grave…"
At this, Roshi couldn't help but speak up for the first time. "Actually, the funny thing is that they were evenly matched…" Everyone in the room sweatdropped, amazed at the fact the old pervert had picked up on anything beyond the fact that two women were fighting… then groaned as he continued in normal Roshi manner. "Yup, their arms were perfect, their butts tight, their legs long… YEOWCH! What was that for Bulma???"
"For being yourself." Bulma growled, stomping past the dirty old man, the others trailing behind her. "But for now, we'd better go check up on that class…"
~*~
Videl growled at the woman, preparing to give her 'daughter of Hercule' speech. To her great fortune, she was stopped as Gohan's hand covered her mouth from behind.
"Don't Videl, you'll regret it" he hissed in her ear.
Videl's snarl was initially muffled by Gohan's hand, but not for long as she bit his hand with all the force she could muster. She grinned evilly as Gohan grabbed his hand back with a yelp.
"What was that for?!"
"Well that's what you get for covering my mouth Gohan!"
Gohan stuck his hand in his mouth, glaring at the feisty woman. By all laws of the known universe, that shouldn't have even have fazed the demi-saiya-jin. In fact, in all reality, Videl should have chipped a couple teeth. But nooooo, just like the rest of the Z senshi, Son Gohan had to go out and pick the most intimidating woman he could possibly find, who also happened to have the unique, Kami given gift of being miraculously able to overpower the strongest warriors in the universe.
The world really wasn't fair…
~*~
Seeing her opportunity, Chichi sprang on top of the girl, sending both tumbling to the ground in another all-out cat-war over the Frying Pan, both determined to come out on top.
Still sucking his hand and bitching about the unfairness of the universe, Gohan watched with vindictive pleasure this time. Either way he knew was going to get busted, so he might as well sit back and watch the show while it lasted…
But damn that bite hurt…
~*~
The class stared, mouths hanging open as the scene unfolded in front of him. This trip just kept getting odder…
Erasa, especially, was a bit curious as to what all was going on. She had kind of picked up on the fact that the insane lady was Gohan's mom, but how on earth had such a mad woman given birth to a sweetie like Gohan?
Well, then again, Videl wasn't the only one making lots of new discoveries about Gohan on this trip: maybe the next one would be that he was just as crazy as his mother!
~*~
Mr. Popo looked about the Lookout and sighed. It sure seemed empty with Dende gone…
~I really wish that kid would get what's coming to him in the way of Gohan Torture… He should have to face the music one of these days!~
As a direct result of this thought, a rumpled looking Dende appeared on the Lookout, gazing about himself in confusion.
"What the…"
Mr. Popo's eyes widened as it dawned on him. While Dende had been gone, he had been the acting Kami of Earth! Which meant…
For the first time, and probably the only time, in all of DB/Z/GT history, Mr. Popo's black face twisted into an evil grin. He could finally make Dende wizen up when it came to the way you should treat your friends!
Dende blinked a couple of times in bemusement, then shrugged and transported himself away again, only to be brought straight back by a vindictive genie. Very confused now, Dende frowned, slowly bringing his hand up to his forehead to transport himself away again.
This time Mr. Popo gave him a couple seconds to celebrate his victory over the strange flaw in his power, before dragging him back home.
By this time, Dende was getting agitated and dizzy. What in the world was going on!?! After another ten minutes of trying, Dende finally gave up in favor of keeling over on the floor of the Lookout. He really wasn't feeling very well, right at the moment…
~*~
A/N: *sighs* Okay, don't freak out people, I have some more that should be coming out really soon, I just figured that you'd like this as soon as possible rather than having to wait for a couple more days…
T-chan: *raises an eyebrow* seeing as how they've been waiting for over a month I doubt a few more days would hurt them.
Lexi: *glares* maybe not, but I wanted to send this out now so there! P
T-chan: *rolls her eyes, then goes back to working on her stupid homework*
Lexi: *turns back to her special reviewers. Err… readers.^^* Well, to explain that last bit, I just couldn't let the rest of the story happen without Dende! I mean, how good can any Gohan Torture story be without everyone's favorite green Pina Colada loving Kami??? ^^ It was fun to create a bit of havoc by there being no Kami, but that was beginning to wear thin… But don't worry: This story sure isn't! I'll try to have the next chapter out as soon as possible, and I thank all of my wonderful reviewers!
T-chan: Yeah! Everyone who reviews gets one step closer to owning the Dragon Ball universe!!!
