Chapter 5: The Big Night
"Mom…!! I don't wanna wear this stupid thing!!" Goten complained, tugging on his necktie. "I can't breathe with it on!!"
"Oh, you can too, Son Goten!!" Chi-Chi scolded, glaring at her son, while putting on a necklace. "Look at your father and brother!! They can breathe with a tie on!!" She glanced at the two oldest Sons. Both were wearing tuxedos and ties. Gohan looked annoyed and Goku was wearing a look of disgust that would've made Vegeta proud.
"Why do we have to wear these things again, Chi-Chi?" Goku asked. "I mean…they look weird and it feels like Frieza has a death grip on my neck…"
"See!!" Goten cried. "I'm not the only one who doesn't like them!!"
"You two are such babies!! At least I have one gentleman in the house…" Chi- Chi sighed. "What time do we have to be again Gohan?"
"Um…Videl said all the honored guests need to be there an hour early." Gohan explained, glancing at his watch. "So that means we have less then five minutes to get there."
"WHAT?!" Chi-Chi yelled. She jumped out of her chair and began franticly running around the house. "We'll never make it on time!! You three can't fly fast enough and Kinto'un can't carry all of us!! We're going to be late!! Oh the humiliation…" Goku put a calming hand on his wife's shoulder. She stopped voicing her worries and looked at him.
"Don't worry, Chi," Goku replied, grinning. "We'll just use the Instant Transmission."
"Good idea Goku!!" Chi-Chi cried, hugging her husband. "It's so good to have you back!!"
Four days had past since Son Goku came home and the Son family couldn't be happier. Goten was getting to know his father better each day in their daily sparring sessions. Chi-Chi delayed his 'Solitary Confinement' punishment for a week, so he could spend some time with Goku. Gohan was making up the lost time with his father by telling him about all the important events that had happened in the last few years. Chi-Chi and Goku spent the most time together making up what they lost during the seven years that he was dead.
On Tuesday night, the Briefs invited all the Z senshi over to Capsule Corp. and there was a huge party celebrating Goku's return. Vegeta stayed out of the Gravity Room for the whole night and only threatened Yamcha a dozen times. But much to Chi-Chi's and Bulma's disappointment, he and Goku ended up leveling half of Capsule Corp. in their recent attempts at getting revenge at one another.
Gohan was now being teased about his 'girlfriend' from all sides of the family. When Videl had come over on Monday night, Chi-Chi quickly explained to Goku that Videl was Gohan's fiancé and that they were getting married soon. She also emphasized on that fact that Videl was very, very rich. Son Goku, not knowing any better, congratulated the 'couple' and asked when he was going to have grandchildren running around the house. Needless to say, Gohan was a little steamed at his parents but Videl pulled him out of the house before he could do any real damage.
That very same night, Gohan told Videl about most of his past. He left out the facts that his father was an alien, that all the Z senshi held more power in one pinkie than her father did in his whole body, and that he was the one that defeated Cell. Gohan decided that he would tell her all the truth later on. When she was ready for it.
Videl had taken the truth quite well. Gohan thought she would explode and ask many questions that he couldn't answer, but she was very calm during the whole explanation.
'I guess since she learned about ki not being a magic trick, nothing can surprise her any more,' he thought.
"Can we go now?" Goten whined, as he hopped onto his father's shoulders.
"We're going, Goten," Chi-Chi replied. "Keep your gi on…"
"Oh, yeah? Mom?" Gohan asked, putting a hand on his father's arm. "When we get there can you *try* not to embarrass me in front of my friends?"
My little boy's grown into a teenager!!" Chi-Chi cried, stars in her eyes. Her happy smile then turned into a deep scowl that could only be matched by Vegeta. "You are going to sit by us, right?"
"Um…Well, I was planning to sit by my friends…"
"Oh no you're not, Son Gohan!! You're sitting by your family!!" Chi-Chi yelled. "You can see you're friends any old time!! You're father only has two days left in this world, may I remind you!!"
"But, Mom…" Gohan whined and he went to the only excuse he knew that would work. "I was gonna sit by Videl…"
"Well why didn't you say so?!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. "You know that I would let you…"
And with that exclamation the four members of the Son family disappeared from their living room.
-------------------------------
Videl Satan tapped her foot nervously against the marble floor. The 'Mr. Satan Day Showing of the Cell Games Footage' had been moved to a very fancy and expensive hotel so it could fit everybody. Everybody now included many of the richest people on the planet, one of them being Bulma Briefs. Videl had seen the blue haired scientist dragging her husband, Trunks, and another purple haired man toward the dining room area.
Videl looked around the room once again and then decided to make sure if her dress looked ok. She was wearing a silk, knee-high, spaghetti-strap dress. (AN: I suck at describing clothes so bear with me…) It was navy blue in color and matched her eyes perfectly. To match her dress, she was wearing a pair of sapphire earrings and a sapphire necklace hung around her neck.
It hadn't taken her awhile to pick out her dress, due to the fact that she didn't have *anything* in her closet that was 'girly'. To her utmost disgust, she had to call Erasa and the two went on a last minute shopping spree and she hated every minute of it.
'Erasa did do a good job in picking out the dress, I must admit,' Videl thought. 'And thank Kami-sama it wasn't *pink*.'
"Hey!! Videl!!" a female voice squealed.
Videl turned around to see Erasa, who was wearing a pink, frilly dress, running toward her.
"Erasa!! What are you doing here? I thought the students weren't supposed to come for another hour!!" Videl replied.
"They are, but I told the security guards that you and I have been best friends since kindergarten!! And he let me in!!" Erasa giggled. "Your Dad really needs to hire some smarter and cuter security guards."
"Tell me about it," Videl sighed, before a horrifying thought hit her. "You didn't bring Sharpner with you…did you?!"
"Of course I did, silly!!" the blonde replied. She pointed to the blond male, wearing a white tuxedo, a couple yard behind her. "He's over there checking out the guest list. I checked it out earlier. Did you know Bulma Briefs was coming tonight?! Maybe we'll get to meet her!!"
"Maybe…" Videl said, rolling her eyes. "Or maybe we'll meet her son, Erasa. I've heard that he's quite a looker…for an eight year old…"
Erasa obvisouly didn't hear the age of the Briefs' son, for she was already gone as soon as Videl uttered the word 'looker'.
"Some of them don't ever give up, do they Videl?" Sharpner asked, as he approached Videl and tried to put his arms around her. "And did I mention you look extremely hot in that dress?"
"Touch me and DIE, Sharpner," she threatened, throwing his arm off. "I'm not in the mood for you to be around besides…I don't think my DATE would appreciate it if he found out you were hitting on me."
"But Babe…" Sharpner whined and then he realized was Videl had said. "You…WHAT?!"
"I said I have a date, baka,"
"B-But…what about US, Videl?! Does this mean…we're breaking up?!" Sharpner cried.
"Oh, spare me Sharpner…" Videl sighed, looking disgusted. "There never was any 'us' and there never WILL be any 'us'."
Sharpner whimpered pathetically before returning to his normal, egotistic self. "So who's your 'date'? Gohan?"
"As a matter of fact, he is," Videl replied, smartly. "I asked him yesterday."
"And he said YES?!" Sharpner demanded, his anger growing. "What do you see in that dork that you don't in me?!"
"He has a personality and isn't ANTHING like you, thank Kami."
"Videl, you've cut me deep...But I'm still gonna take you back." Sharpner replied, running his hand though his hair and she fell over.
Videl sighed and walked away. No use in trying to talk to a blond baka who kept trying to convince himself that he was Videl Satan's love interest. But she wasn't safe for long...
"VIDEL!!!" Mr. Satan roared, as he came stomping into the entrance hall. "WHAT'S THIS ABOUT YOU HAVING A DATE?!"
Videl groaned and turned to face her father. Even in a tuxedo, he still looked like an unrefined idiot.
"What do you think you're DOING, Videl?! You KNOW that if you have a boyfriend, he must be as strong as me!!" He demanded. The infamous Mr. Satan was seething. His daughter had a DATE. A DATE of all things!!
"I know that, Daddy," Videl sighed. "After all…you've ONLY told me a million times today…"
"That's right!!" Mr. Satan puffed, looking proud. "Your boyfriend better not be any scrawny, nerd boy or you'll ruin my public image!! All of our money will go down the drain!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"
Videl tuned out her father's annoying ramblings and looked around the room for any kind of way she could get away from her father. She smirked as Bulma Briefs walked in the room. Alone.
'Sorry, Bulma...' Videl apologized inwardly before asking her father, "Hey Dad? Isn't that Bulma Briefs over there?"
Mr. Satan stopped chewing his daughter out immediately and began making his way towards the beautiful scientist muttering something about being married to the most beautiful woman on Earth.
Erasa had come back from her hunt for the Briefs' son, which unfortunately was unsuccessful, a few minutes ago and was back at Videl's side.
"So…When's Gohan gonna get here?" she chirped, cheerfully and Videl sweatdropped.
"Hopefully very, very soon…I don't think I can take much more of this…" she replied.
Meanwhile…
"Move it along, brats!!" Vegeta barked, glaring at Chibi Trunks and Mirai Trunks who were walking sullenly behind him. Both of them were wearing tuxedos too. "We'll never find Kakarrot's damn family at the pace you weaklings are going!!"
"It's nice to know Dad hasn't changed one bit…" Mirai Trunks muttered, rolling his eyes.
It had been three years in Mirai Trunks' timeline and he had decided to come back to visit…permanently. His mother had died about a year ago, Capsule Corporation was failing to get back onto the market, the human race was nearing extinction, and he didn't give a damn about his timeline any more. It was doomed anyways. So, he packed up what few belongings he had and left for the past timeline, arriving on Wednesday night.
Bulma was happy that her Mirai son was back, for she now had a babysitter for Chibi Trunks who could actually last the whole night and not be burnt to a crisp.
Vegeta was happy that his Mirai son was back, for her now had a actual training partner instead of Kakarrot Brat Numero Uno.
Chibi Trunks was mad that his Mirai himself had come back. Why? For one, he was a goody-goody. For two, he got all the attention. For three, he just didn't like his Mirai counterpart any more than he liked Mr. Satan. And for four, he didn't like being called a chibi!!
As if hearing Vegeta's bark, the Son family appeared a few yards ahead of them. Vegeta stopped, causing Mirai Trunks to crash into him, and Chibi Trunks to crash into his counterpart.
"Watch where you're going, brats!!" Vegeta hissed, glaring at the two Trunks again.
"Vegeta!!" Goku called out in glee. "What are you doing here?!"
Gohan's heart stopped. Vegeta was here?! Now?!
"That idiot, Mr. Satan, invited the onna and we got dragged along with her," Vegeta grumbled. "But if he even *thinks* about touching my mate, I will tear him apart limb by limb…"
Oh yes…Someone was going to end up dead tonight. No doubt about it.
"Mirai Trunks?!" Gohan asked, gaping at the purple haired teenager in front of him. "What are you doing here?!"
"Oh, me?" Mirai Trunks replied idly. "Mom made me come along because she wants me to baby-sit Chibi Trunks."
"I'm NOT chibi!!" Chibi Trunks yelled, glaring at Mirai Trunks. "And I don't need a baka babysitter!!"
"Having you as a babysitter sure is a good idea!!" Chi-Chi cried and Goten gulped. "How about you watch Goten for me while Goku and I spend some more quality time together?"
"Sure. Why not." Mirai Trunks sighed, shrugging. He noticed that Gohan had given him a look that clearly read, 'You've just signed you're death warrant' and the oldest demi saiya-jin gulped.
"Well, I'm outta here." Gohan exclaimed, walking away before his mother could recruit him into babysitting. "I gotta go find Videl…"
"Videl? Now where have I heard that name, before…" Mirai Trunks asked, looking puzzled. "Oh! Now I remember!! She and Sensei Gohan were engaged!!"
Gohan gave Mirai Trunks a horrified look. "V-videl and I…were ENGAGED?!"
"Hai, but you never did get married." Mirai explained. "The androids killed Videl before any major plans were made and you went ballistic!!"
"That's so sweet!!" Chi-Chi cried, stars in her eyes. "My boy almost got married to Videl in the future!!"
While his mother was busy obsessing over Mirai Gohan's love life, Gohan silently creeped away.
"There you are, Son Gohan!!" Videl yelled, glaring as Gohan turned around to face her. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to show up?!"
"Er…" Gohan replied, sweatdropping. "Gomen, Videl, but I was…" He faltered when he got a good look at Videl.
"You were what, Gohan?" Videl demanded. She noticed that he was staring at her and she reacted immediately. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"No…You just look very…" Gohan breathed. "…beautiful…"
"You certainly know how to flatter a lady, Gohan." Videl replied, smiling at him as she latched onto his arm. The demi saiya-jin blushed and muttered something under his breath. "And don't you look very handsome in that tuxedo!! Did Chi-Chi make you wear it?"
Gohan blushed again and muttered, "Yes. And I supposed Erasa picked out the dress?"
Videl nodded and then pulled Gohan towards the auditorium. "C'mon, Gohan!! I promised Erasa and Sharpner that we'd save them some seats!!"
Meanwhile…In Hell…
Two ogres cautiously walked towards the Hell prison. Both of them looked extremely scared of what they were about to do.
"You say it," the first ogre said, glancing at the second one.
"Me?! Why me?!"
"Because Enma-sama told you to tell him!!"
"Fine!!"
The second ogre approached the cell and looked inside. Yup. The prisoner they were looking for was there…As he had been for the past seven years.
"Um…Mr. Cell?" the ogre asked.
The grasshopper-like villain looked up from meditating. He sneered at the feeble ogre.
"What do you want, weakling?" Cell asked, his Vegeta genes showing through very much.
"I have a message for you from Enma-sama. It seems that today is your seventh year of death and…you get to go back to any place of your choice for seven hours." The ogre explained and Cell's face lit up like a Christmas tree. The other villains glared at their comrade.
"Wait a minute!!" Frieza barked. "How come I never got to go back to living world on MY seventh year of death?!"
"I dunno…Maybe you can back with Cell…" the dumb ogre suggested, scratching his head thoughtfully. "I'm sure Enma-sama won't mind!! So…where do you want to go?"
Both villains looked at each other and said in unison, "Earth."
----------------------------
Kioko: OK!! I lied!! *drops to her knees and begs for forgiveness* The celebration starts in the next chapter!! FORGIVE ME!!!
Mirai Trunks: Take a chill pill, Kioko. It's not like they're gonna kill you for it…
Kioko: That's right!! I'm safe again!!
Mirai Trunks: Oh, I don't think you're safe quite yet…I mean, you DID say that I didn't give a damn about my timeline any more…
Kioko: *sweatdrops*
Mirai Trunks: And now…You're gonna pay for that little comment!!
Kioko: *horrified look* I am so dead…
Next Chapter: Hey!! It's Son Gohan!! The Cell Games footage and the documentary all play without a hitch-unless you count Vegeta threatening to blast Chibi Trunks in to the next dimension-And it's time for the play! But something doesn't feel right!! Am I the only one that senses Frieza's and Cell's ki?!
Mirai Trunks: *rolls eyes* Whatever you say Kioko…
Kioko: Mirai Trunks will be hosting the Author Notes with me from now on!! And there will be some appearances of Chibi Trunks and Vegeta too!!
Mirai Trunks: Why me, Dende?! WHY?!
Kioko:*blinks a few times* All righty then!! On to the show!! *drags Trunks into the theater*
Mirai Trunks: Why do you have to drag me everywhere?!
Kioko: Cause it's fun!! Oh, lookie!! A snack bar!!

Chapter 5: The Big Night
"Mom…!! I don't wanna wear this stupid thing!!" Goten complained, tugging on his necktie. "I can't breathe with it on!!"
"Oh, you can too, Son Goten!!" Chi-Chi scolded, glaring at her son, while putting on a necklace. "Look at your father and brother!! They can breathe with a tie on!!" She glanced at the two oldest Sons. Both were wearing tuxedos and ties. Gohan looked annoyed and Goku was wearing a look of disgust that would've made Vegeta proud.
"Why do we have to wear these things again, Chi-Chi?" Goku asked. "I mean…they look weird and it feels like Frieza has a death grip on my neck…"

"It's nice to know Dad hasn't changed one bit…" Mirai Trunks muttered, rolling his eyes.
It had been three years in Mirai Trunks' timeline and he had decided to come back to visit…permanently. His mother had died about a year ago, Capsule Corporation was failing to get back onto the market, the human race was nearing extinction, and he didn't give a damn about his timeline any more. It was doomed anyways. So, he packed up what few belongings he had and left for the past timeline, arriving on Wednesday night.

As if hearing Vegeta's bark, the Son family appeared a few yards ahead of them. Vegeta stopped, causing Mirai Trunks to crash into him, and Chibi Trunks to crash into his counterpart.
"Watch where you're going, brats!!" Vegeta hissed, glaring at the two Trunks again.
"Vegeta!!" Goku called out in glee. "What are you doing here?!"
Gohan's heart stopped. Vegeta was here?! Now?!
"That idiot, Mr. Satan, invited the onna and we got dragged along with her," Vegeta grumbled. "But if he even *thinks* about touching my mate, I will tear him apart limb by limb…"
Oh yes…Someone was going to end up dead tonight. No doubt about it.
"Mirai Trunks?!" Gohan asked, gaping at the purple haired teenager in front of him. "What are you doing here?!"

"Well, I'm outta here." Gohan exclaimed, walking away before his mother could recruit him into babysitting. "I gotta go find Videl…"

"There you are, Son Gohan!!" Videl yelled, glaring as Gohan turned around to face her. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to show up?!"
"Er…" Gohan replied, sweatdropping. "Gomen, Videl, but I was…" He faltered when he got a good look at Videl.
"You were what, Gohan?" Videl demanded. She noticed that he was staring at her and she reacted immediately. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"No…You just look very…" Gohan breathed. "…beautiful…"
"You certainly know how to flatter a lady, Gohan." Videl replied, smiling at him as she latched onto his arm. The demi saiya-jin blushed and muttered something under his breath. "And don't you look very handsome in that tuxedo!! Did Chi-Chi make you wear it?"
Gohan blushed again and muttered, "Yes. And I supposed Erasa picked out the dress?"
Videl nodded and then pulled Gohan towards the auditorium. "C'mon, Gohan!! I promised Erasa and Sharpner that we'd save them some seats!!"
Meanwhile…In Hell…
Two ogres cautiously walked towards the Hell prison. Both of them looked extremely scared of what they were about to do.
"You say it," the first ogre said, glancing at the second one.
"Me?! Why me?!"
"Because Enma-sama told you to tell him!!"
"Fine!!"
The second ogre approached the cell and looked inside. Yup. The prisoner they were looking for was there…As he had been for the past seven years.
"Um…Mr. Cell?" the ogre asked.
The grasshopper-like villain looked up from meditating. He sneered at the feeble ogre.
"What do you want, weakling?" Cell asked, his Vegeta genes showing through very much.
"I have a message for you from Enma-sama. It seems that today is your seventh year of death and…you get to go back to any place of your choice for seven hours." The ogre explained and Cell's face lit up like a Christmas tree. The other villains glared at their comrade.
"Wait a minute!!" Frieza barked. "How come I never got to go back to living world on MY seventh year of death?!"
"I dunno…Maybe you can back with Cell…" the dumb ogre suggested, scratching his head thoughtfully. "I'm sure Enma-sama won't mind!! So…where do you want to go?"
Both villains looked at each other and said in unison, "Earth."

Mirai Trunks: Take a chill pill, Kioko. It's not like they're gonna kill you for it…
Kioko: That's right!! I'm safe again!!
Mirai Trunks: Oh, I don't think you're safe quite yet…I mean, you DID say that I didn't give a damn about my timeline any more…
Kioko: *sweatdrops*
Mirai Trunks: And now…You're gonna pay for that little comment!!
