A/n: Sorry the chapter took so long, but with school it's hard to keep up.
And, I'm working on another story that I'll be putting up sometime soon.
Chapter 6
After the screaming and sweat drops died down, Hercule knew it was time to get back to business. He made sure that work began. "Everyone, begin your fifty sit-ups, seventy five push-ups, and go to the warehouse for forty- five chin-ups. You have to have two or three people around you to agree that you did all of them, and I'll be watching you!" He eyed the girls who complained about their hair and nails. It was obvious that Hercule would be the one counting for them. "BEGIN!" Hercule yelled so everyone could here. He didn't even use the microphone, it would've deafened them. Gohan, Intung, Lang and Garret were (big surprise) in a group together. Lang did her sit-ups and push-ups first while Garrett explained more about how their plan would work. Luckily, they were in a corner of the yard where nobody could hear anything that they were saying, and they had a few topics to change it to when someone walked by them. (Don't ask me why they're walking around, they just are. I'll give you a better reason as soon as I come up with one, which might take awhile, maybe it'll never happen.)
Garret ended, "I've been snooping around the kitchens, and I figured out exactly how easy this will work. They aren't even watching for us, and it's easy to get around. I know the kitchens by heart."
Gohan laughed. "We haven't even been here two days, how often can you look around that place?" "More tan you'd think." Garret replied. By now, Gohan had finished his sit- ups and was beginning the push-ups. (Garret had more to say than what I wrote, but that would give the prank away!) It took about three minutes for Gohan, Intung, and Garret to finish, and they went to the so-called warehouse, which was so large, two families could live in it. But, it didn't look like a house or shed. It looked like a workout room. And on the walls were rows of bars for chin-ups. Gohan's group was the third in the room, Videl's group was there, and a group full of jocks that lived for baseball, basketball, soccer, and football. They had just gotten there, but Videl's group (Videl, Sharpener, Jack, a major the jock) was on their third person. Gohan did his chin-ups first, and it took him forty seconds to do forty-five chin-ups. Intung took about a minute, Garret took about two minutes, and Lang took awhile, having some trouble. Then, the group made sure that their plan was completely full proof, checking and double- checking each idea. They were allowed to talk since only four groups where in the building, and there was ten to fifteen groups. They thought of leaving, but Videl kept eyeing them suspiciously, she'd notice if they left. After nearly a half-hour, three groups of girls walked in. Hercule was following them. Everyone else began weight lifting. A competition began. The first person who got too tired to continue lifting fifty pounds was out. Now, the only people left were Gohan, Videl, Sharpner, two boys, Jako and Chris, and a girl named Uni. Jako looked like he was about to give up, and Chris was drenched in sweat. Chris gave up, and Jako was soon to follow. Everyone began making bets, and a few people who had already made bets added to the amount they were betting. Then Sharpner gave up, and a few people exchanged money with others, and even more bets were made.
"Lang, I feel a little guilty getting all this money off of Gohan." Garret muttered.
Lang nodded. "Well, I guess I agree, but Gohan won't care. If he does then we'll figure something out, like we always do." Then, a classmate named Devin walked over to the trio.
"You are betting that Gohan, Nerd of the Century is going to beat Videl, Daughter of Hercule?" Devin asked.
"Yea, I pretty much think you got it right, we think, no we know, that Gohan will win." Lang answered.
Devin got one of those 'What Suckers!' look on his face. "I bet each of you twenty bucks that Videl wins." He said.
Garret and Lang agreed, but Intung didn't. "No, I'd rather not be the reason one of my classmates goes bankrupt. How about five?"
Devin smirked, but it wasn't a Vegeta 'I'm Gonna Kill You!' smirk, but more like a Goku 'You are underestimating the power of a SSJ.' smirk, the two you see so often. "Sixty bucks won't make me go bankrupt, my mom doesn't like me betting, so I'm only betting with you three. Oh well, less money would be less noticeable. Deal." Just then, Garret walked in between Gohan and Videl and told both of them to stop.
"It's obvious that this can go on all day, so let's add to the weight." Garret yelled so everyone could hear. The weight was added to 70 pounds. Videl was a little tired, and Gohan wondered if he was supposed to be having trouble. Garret whispered to Gohan, "Hope you don't mind us betting on you." Gohan said it was OK. He didn't know what betting was. 'I know, I'll look it up in the dictionary that I take with me on all trips. I wonder if it's some kind of food...' Then, Gohan remembered his mom telling him that she never wanted him to bet, even if others did it. 'Maybe it's something you put on food.' Gohan then continued concentrating on his weight lifting. He then noticed that Videl was slowing down. He sped up and Videl tried to do the same. That just made her energy drain faster. Videl couldn't believe it, she was losing! Then, Videl had to quit. She stopped lifting weights and put it back on the little holder thingy. Videl was upset about losing, but she wasn't going to be a sore loser. Videl got up to congratulate Gohan, but he hadn't realized that she had stopped and he was the winner.
"Um, Gohan, you won." Videl said nervously.
"Hold on." Gohan answered. He did a few more bench presses (I think that's what they're called...) and put the weights down. Garret declared Gohan the winner, and Intung and Lang began looking around for Devin and some other people they had made bets with. Garrett joined them. Everyone began following Hercule out of the warehouse and into the backyard. Hercule stood up for a speech. He stood at the entrance, so Gohan, Intung, Garret and Lang decided to wait until later to put their prank into action. Hercule was talking, but they weren't listening to Hercule as he told them about tournaments he won and some of his moves. The teenagers, except four that you probably know who they are, were listening closely. They were engrossed in Hercule's stories and details. But, they'd notice if someone tried leaving, especially through the back door..
So Gohan, Garret, Intung and Lang were forced to listen to Hercule's stories, and Gohan got bored after awhile. He yawned, and you know how loudly Gohan and Goku yawn. Gohan had broken the trance. Everyone was staring at him. Garret's face was as red as fire, until he finally burst out laughing, along with Intung.
Hercule didn't think this was funny. Now, nobody was paying attention to him, they were all paying attention to the scrawny kid who somehow beat his wonderful, beautiful, perfect, strong daughter Videl. Then it clicked. Videl felt sorry for the kid and let him win. Hercule got a proud look on his face. 'Videl always thinks of others first, just like her dear old dad.' Hercule thought (yeah right!). Then he returned to the fact that everyone was paying attention to this kid, and another kid was finding his interruption funny! How dare they! "HEY YOU TWO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT ME, I'D ALMOST GOTTEN TO THE PART ABOUT ME WINNING THE MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT! I WANT YOU TO LISTEN AND LISTEN WELL!"
Gohan and Garret both had red faces. Garret was still trying to calm his fits of laughter, but he couldn't. Gohan was embarrassed. "Sorry." Gohan said sheepishly. Intung was able to stifle his laughter, but you could tell he wanted to laugh.
Garret was still laughing. "OK" he just barely got out. He was able to stop laughing, but he was breathing in a weird way. Garret and Gohan were staring at Hercule, but neither really listened to the person they were looking at. (Just think of the way you look at your math teacher, and you've got the idea.)
"And that's how I beat the man who was trying to act like Cell. The police officers were kind enough to let me shut the Cell impersonator's cell door, and the last thing I told him was, 'If I could beat the real Cell, Then I could beat an impersonator.' Well, that's about all of the stories I have." Hercule finally finished telling each detail of the stories that were based on true events. And when a movie says something is based on a true story or book, they take the plot and then just add their own little details in there, taking nothing from the person's life/the book. "Of course I'd the story of how I beat the real Cell, but that will ruin the reenactment in only three days!" This caused cheers from the crowd. Gohan began wondering what would happen at the reenactment. What if Hercule began to make his dad look like a fool? Gohan wasn't sure what was going to happen at this reenactment...
A/n: It might not have been worth the wait, and I'd like to thank Natari Son for your suggestions. I'll try to get the next chapter up sooner than this one.
