J-rose: You aren't black, buddy.
Storm: I know…but I can pretend, can't I?
J-rose: No.
Storm: Psh…fine. Let's get on with it then.
Of Secret Plans and Frying Pans
Videl arrived at the Son house a few minutes before 11. Chi-Chi was outside, pumping water from the well. Videl greeted her warmly.
"Hey Chi-Chi!" she called.
"Well good morning, Videl." Chi-Chi responded cheerily. "Goten's up playing in his room, and I sent Gohan out to deliver a message to Master Roshi, so he wouldn't know what we were up to."
"Ummm…" Videl looked confused. "Couldn't you have just called him?"
"We don't have a phone," Chi-Chi said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Videl sweat dropped.
"So, shall we get to planning?" Chi-Chi asked, rather too mischievously for her own good.
"Sure" Videl said, excited.
"Grandchildren…" Chi-Chi sighed dreamily as she walked into the house. At the sound of voices, Goten wandered downstairs from his games. He looked at Videl, acknowledging her presence, but did not greet her. Instead, he made a direct path for the fridge.
*WHAM*
Goten fell over, clutching his head as Chi-Chi stood firmly over him, frying pan in hand,
"Goten, you will greet our company before feeding yourself!" Chi-Chi yelled, enraged.
"Awww, mom, its not company. Its just Videl." This comment earned Goten another smack from Chi-Chi's frying pan. Videl laughed, and they all sat down at the kitchen table. After nearly an hour, they had a foolproof plan. It was just at that moment that Gohan decided to return from his courier service. Grumbling to himself, he stalked into the house.
"I just gotta be all flyin' everywhere doin' this and that. And do I get any thanks? I mean seriously, do I have a sign on my back that says 'Saiya-jin Delivery Service?' I think not. Heaven forbid we just get a phone…" He was stopped short by a large pain in his head, one he usually associated with a black cooking utensil and an angry mother. Gohan clutched the back of his head and looked up to see Videl, who was almost in hysterics with laughter.
"Nice to see you too, Videl." Gohan snapped, obviously irritated. Videl just laughed harder.
"I'm going upstairs to change. I'll be back down in a minute." Gohan said, walking towards the stairs. He pulled his shirt off as he went. That got Videl to stop laughing.
Whoa. She thought to herself. Look at those muscles. I had no idea he was that well toned. Whoa. Whoa. And…whoa. She snapped herself out of her thoughts just as Gohan reappeared in the kitchen, dressed in a white gi.
"Alright, you ready to start?" He asked, feeling better.
"I wanna train with you guys too," Goten chirped from behind them.
"I don't think…" Gohan began.
"Puh-puh-puh-please?" Goten asked, giving him a puppy dog look.
"Oh, come on Gohan." Videl said, smiling sweetly at him. "It'll be fun." After all, she thought, I need Goten for the plan. Videl grinned evilly at this thought.
Gohan sighed, knowing this was one battle he would not win. "Ok, come on. Let's get started." With that, the three fighters walked outside to begin their training.
Storm: Hey that's it for now guys! What are Goten, Chi-Chi and Videl planning? What repercussions will this leave on Gohan? What will happen if I don't stop asking questions? Alright anyway I just want to thank my reviewers…
J-rose: *Claps* Yay!!! Go reviewers! It's your birthday! Get busy!
Storm: That's about enough of that. The next chapter will probably be up by Saturday or Sunday, but if you people are lucky I might just have it up by Friday. Now there's something to look forward to.
