After breakfast, everyone headed outdoors to wait for Hercule to tell
everyone what they'd be doing next. Garrett seemed to disappear from the
breakfast table, something he, Lang, and Intung had been practicing and had
mastered. Nobody ever missed them when they left, even people who had been
talking to them. Goten, Intung and Lang headed outside, and met Garrett in
only a few minutes. "I've come up with an idea. First, we need to sneak out
at night. I've been checking, and nobody is monitoring the halls. And if
we're as good at sneaking around at night as we are at school, then we
won't have any trouble getting past someone."
"So, what's the plan itself?" Lang asked.
Garrett opened his mouth, stopped for a second, and began speaking. "I wonder when Hercule's going to get here. It's getting boring just waiting here."
Gohan, Intung, and Lang exchanged confused looks at Garrett. "Hey Videl, Sharpener, Erasa." Garrett said. (A/n: Erasa visited the Satan mansion each day, but she wasn't necessarily on the field trip. She didn't see the point of visiting the wilderness and do training.)
"I could have sworn you weren't talking about what we'll be doing this morning before we walked up here." Videl said. Gohan looked a bit nervous when she'd said that, but he was the only one.
"Yeah. We were talking about some of the things we might learn when we start training, in the wilderness. The permission sheet didn't really give too much information."
Videl looked satisfied with the answer. "Well, I can tell you enough. My dad wants me to be his assistant or something like that. There will be two sessions, the first one, for beginners, and the second for people who've had training already, or are strong enough to skip the beginner's class."
Lang obviously didn't want to talk with Videl too much, but she didn't want to show it either. "So, if you know what we're doing for the training, tell us what we'll be doing for the morning warm-ups."
Videl thought for a moment, then said quickly, "Ten laps around the mansion, fifty sit-ups, seventy-five push-ups, forty-five chin-ups, half hour of weight lifting, ten suicide runs, ten more laps around the mansion." Gohan looked surprised. Hercule expected all of these people to be able to do this. Most of them wouldn't be able to do one lap around the mansion!
"That seems like a lot for." Gohan said, then he looked towards Angela and some of her friends, each of them a ditz and most of them dumb blondes. (A/n: I don't have anything against blondes, almost all of my friends ARE blondes!) They were some of the girls who went on the trip just to live in the mansion and would probably drop out right before going into the wilderness...
Sharpener laughed. "I think Hercule's going to let them off a bit. Gohan, if I were you, I'd join them. You're too... Nerdy."
"Nobody's getting off, my dad made that pretty clear." Videl replied. "It's not as hard as it sounds, I've ran it every day for as long as I can remember."
Erasa laughed. "That's because you're used to it. Bye Videl, I'm not sticking around until your dad gets here. I can't believe I woke up this early, a girl needs her beauty sleep." With that, Erasa marched off. She did it at the perfect moment too, because the second she passed the side of the house and began walking home, Hercule walked out of the back door and tried to get everyone's attention. When he heard nothing and saw all eyes on him, he began explaining the morning exercises, which I'm not going to write because you already know what they are. A lot of the girls whispered, groaned, complained, and protested. Angela raised her hand, she was close to the front of the crowd and Hercule saw her.
"What do you want?" he asked impatiently, expecting a complaint.
"Um, I don't want to run that far, who knows what'll happen to my hair? It'll be ruined!" Angela yelled, getting nods of agreement from her fellow friends.
"You're the one who agreed to come on the trip, and there's no getting out of doing things with the group you came with. Maybe next year I should make it a boy only trip!"
Lang frowned. She was personally having fun, and wouldn't mind running a little. Correction, she wouldn't mind running a lot. (That was one BIG mansion!) Videl thought he father was being unreasonable, but she didn't say anything. She didn't need everyone around her to know what an egomaniac her father was. Sharpener laughed. "No girls or nerds." This caused himself to crack up laughing, and a lot of people stared at him. But, he stopped laughing the moment he noticed Videl giving him a glare.
"What Sharpner, afraid a girl might beat you at something?" Lang asked. She didn't like him too much. She thought he was a reincarnation of Hercule. (If you know what I mean...)
Before this flew into a full out yell/scream/punch/kick/out of control argument, Hercule realized most of the students weren't looking at him anymore, but talking with their friends. "QUIET!!!!!!" He yelled, causing complete silence. Some of the people cursed themselves, how could they have disrespected Hercule? He saved their lives, and they weren't even showing thankfulness! "NOW," Hercule continued, still heated up about everyone ignoring him. "EVERYONE, get in a line on one side of my house. You'll begin your laps, and I'll know if anyone tries to take the easy way out and skip some laps! Now go!"
Gohan and Videl were the first two to get into the line. Sharpner and Intung followed, and Garrett and Lang were near the middle of the line, deep in conversation. "Another thing about Lang," Intung whispered to Gohan, "Not only does Garrett like her, she likes Garrett. Once, Garrett missed a baseball game, something he never does, and when I left, I caught him and her on a date. His face looked more brown that red. It was priceless. I'll show you the picture, ever since it happened I've always taken my camera with me while I'm looking for Garrett." By now the group had started to jog, and some people were already tired. Gohan, Videl, Intung, and Sharpner were the only people near the front of the line that were still going at a quick pace. They couldn't see near the middle and back of the line, but Lang was slowing down. She wasn't tired yet, but, as Intung wasn't a good swimmer, Garrett was a worse runner.
Lang said to Garrett, "How can you swim so fast but run so slow? You need the same muscles."
"Nothing's making you slow down. Why don't you go join Gohan and Intung? They're going fast!"
"I don't feel like running alone, and we're pretty far behind them. I'm waiting for them to overlap us. Then, I'll speed up and go with them."
Garrett laughed. "Then, you'll be all alone on your last lap. You can't come up with a foolproof plan that will let you go at a normal pace."
"I think I'll survive."
- - - - - - - -()()()*^*^*^*BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE*^*^*^*()()()- - - - - - - - Dun, dun, dun...
"Videl, tell me, what kind of things do you think we're going to learn at Camp Hercule?" Intung asked, trying to work up a conversation. (He was failing greatly.)
"Nothing special. Really, it won't be too fun. A normal camping trip, with a reenactment of something and some martial arts training." She answered. She didn't seem to be very interested in any topic Intung brought up.
"Oh. Um... Do you have any important parts in the training?"
"I helped put the reenactment together and I think that Dad wants me to be his assistant in training. I'm not sure why I'm even going on the trip. I'm sick of seeing the area, my dad takes me there so often." Videl returned her attention to running, and Intung tried to find another topic.
"Where do they get the ideas for the reenactment?" Intung asked.
"It's all what my dad could reminisce. " Videl answered, a bit annoyed with all of the questions Intung kept asking her. "And your attempt to start up a conversation is failing."
Gohan laughed as Intung got red in the face. Intung muttered "I've noticed." under his breath.
Intung regained his confidence and took one last attempt. "So Videl, how are we going to get to the camp? I don't think a bus is going to drive us 75 miles into the wilderness, that would an hour and a half drive, with the buses going so slowly it would take longer."
Videl frowned. "Walking. My dad thinks it'll be good preparations from the training sessions." She returned to silence.
It was Gohan's turn to try a conversation. "How will you get chosen for the beginner and novice class?"
Videl finally looked interested. "My dad wants to see what everyone can do. He'll see who knows punches and kicks, who do them correctly and who just flings their leg into the air. Then, the people who just plain can't kick will automatically asked to leave and will be in the beginner group. If there are too many beginners, we'll stop there. But we'll keep advancing in what we're learning until the two groups are about even. The beginner group will start with punches and kicks and the novice group will start with whatever they left off with. My dad is trying to make sure at the end, everyone will be able to get 100% on his new punching machine. Our scientists made it, my dad will use it for training and we're going to sell another to the martial arts tournament. He says it'll bring in a good profit, not that we need one."
But then, Gohan, Videl, and Intung (Sharpner had run out twenty seconds after running, he couldn't keep up with the other 3 who were going pretty quickly) caught up with Garrett and Lang. Then, Videl sped up, it was obvious that she and Lang had had a big disagreement in the past. That was when Garrett told Gohan, Intung, and Lang the plan...
By now, everyone is finished running. Most of the girls are winded, complaining, and crying, saying this was 'A terrible fate for a wonderful woman who did nothing horribly wrong in the past.' (Don't ask...) Hercule stood up again and said, "Everyone, it's time for the second part of our morning training, lets get ready!" A lot of girls started complaining. Hercule was angry. "HEY YOU IN THE FRONT, WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF EXERCISE?"
The girl was nearly in tears. "B b but. I. I." She looked around sheepishly. "I'VE ALREADY BROKEN THREE NAILS!!" Then she burst out crying. All of her friends screamed, and everyone else produced sweat drops.
A/n: Cliffhanger! You still don't know what the prank is! Next chapter I think they're going to try breaking away from the exercise groups to get it done. I think it's original, my friend told me how to do it. (It's number three on my list of ways to scare people!) Oh yeah, next chapter after review 61!
"So, what's the plan itself?" Lang asked.
Garrett opened his mouth, stopped for a second, and began speaking. "I wonder when Hercule's going to get here. It's getting boring just waiting here."
Gohan, Intung, and Lang exchanged confused looks at Garrett. "Hey Videl, Sharpener, Erasa." Garrett said. (A/n: Erasa visited the Satan mansion each day, but she wasn't necessarily on the field trip. She didn't see the point of visiting the wilderness and do training.)
