A/N: I am soooooo sorry that this took so long in coming out! I've been working on my other DBZ story, and I forgot to type up the next chapter in this one! /__\ Please forgive me! In return for being so horrible, I'll try to hurry it up with the next ones, k?! ]
T-chan; I'm not sure if that'll be enough Lexi-sama
Not enough? Why wouldn't it be enough?
T-chan; Cause you waited an awefully long time to put this chapter up. I think they deserve something more
… Maybe you're right… for once.
T-chan; Oo Hey! I resent that.
What?! You ARE a pitiful excuse for a muse!
T-chan; am not.
Are too, Miss 'I'm-impossible-to-get-a-hold-of-because-I'm-always-off-doing-something-else'!
T-chan; *pouts* that's beside the point. Anyways, I think you should let the readers start to read the actual story.
What's stopping them?
T-chan; Your pointless rambling.
Oh, okies! Read and Enjoy! (then review) ^^
Disclaimer; I swear that If I have to do this one more time, I am going to strangle somebody! I've done it what, 23 times?!
T-chan; This is somewhere around the 24th.
Oh. Okay. Well, here it goes. *whispers* I don't own DBZ. *strangles T-chan*
***Sixth Period Later That Day***
"Classes are interrupted for this final announcement. *pause* Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to buy tickets for the dance on Friday. *pause* Again *pause* Thursday is the LAST day for tickets! Thank you, and have a good day."
The intercom clicked off as the bell rang, dismissing the class at last.
Chibi, slightly confused by the message, turned to Videl with a raised eyebrow when they reached their lockers.
"Come on, don't tell me you didn't know about our dance!"
Chibi smirked slightly. "Of course I know all about your dance, after all, I've been here for an entire 6 hours!"
Videl laughed. "In a nutshell, Its a formal dance this Friday night at 8:30 pm. Everybody takes dates and you have to buy tickets before hand. I think Sharpener and Erasa are going together."
"And you Videl? Who are you going with?"
Videl turned pink. "Oh… no one…"
"Why not?"
Videl shrugged nonchalantly. "No one asked."
Chibi almost asked more, but at that moment Gohan came up.
~Hey Gohan, Ask Videl to the dance!~
Gohan was used to Chibi's abrupt telepathic advice, but he still blushed slightly. He grinned at Videl. "Wanna go to the dance with me?"
He blushed even more when Videl shrugged.
"Sure, why not!" Inside she was rejoicing. ^Finally!^
***Friday***
Erasa, Chibi and Videl made their way through the halls. They had decided to go dress shopping together and then head over to one of their houses to get ready. Although at least a dozen guys had asked Chibi out, she had turned them all down, claiming to already have a date. When Erasa and Videl pressed her for more, she simply smirked superiorly.
***At the mall***
"Come ON Videl! If you wont go into any of the stores, how do you expect to find a dress for tonight?"
"Uh… I dunno, I just don't particularly like the looks of this store."
Videl eyed the flower-bedecked shop with distaste. "There's just something about pink floral patterns that doesn't agree with me…"
Erasa sighed with irritation. "Really Videl, if you wont even enter the stores, we're going to be here for HOURS!"
Videl pouted. Although she most definitely did NOT want to go into the girlie store, the idea of hanging around for that long was even less appealing.
"Fine. But NOT any stores that are pink."
Erasa rolled her eyes and began a trek across the mall, a disgusted Videl and a bemused Chibi trailing along behind her.
After pushing themselves through the crowds to the other end of the mall, Erasa stopped and turned to the other girls.
"Okay, here we are! This place has the very best dresses and accessories."
"Then why aren't they out on display?"
"Because this is a very select, and rather expensive store. However, I know that you can afford it, and two of my older sisters work here, so I'll get a discount. I also know that there will be a dress SOMEWHERE in here that you will agree to wear."
Chibi and Videl shrugged and followed Erasa into the shop.
"Hi Erasa! Why are you here?"
"My friends and I are interested in looking at the formal dresses, there's a dance tonight."
"Oooooh, come on then!"
With that Erasa and the blonde sales clerk led the way, gossiping together, leaving a slightly bewildered Videl and Chibi to follow.
"Oh yeah! Hey guys," Erasa cried, turning back to her friends. "This is my sister Crayn! Crayn, these are my friends, Videl and Chibi."
Crayn grinned and shook hands with both of them. "Pleased to meet you! Here's our special stock of formal gowns, knock yourself out!"
With that, the older version of Erasa grinned and left them alone in a big room that was filled with dresses of all kinds.
Videl blinked and stared around herself in horror.
"How on Earth are we going to find anything in here?!"
"Simple! We look."
With that the three dived in, Erasa with enthusiasm, Videl with disgust mixed with scorn, and Chibi with amusement.
"Yeah Videl!"
"What Chibi?"
"How 'bout this one?" Videl looked over to see the shorter girl holding a neon pink monstrosity that MIGHT have looked good on Barbie™, but certainly not on Videl.
"Ha Ha, VERY amusing. Let's try again."
Chibi giggled and returned the dress to the rack and continued her search.
"Hey Chibi,"
Chibi looked over at Videl.
"You might look good in this one, although you might want to worry about it being too long!"
Chibi glared at the very short mini skirted dress.
"That's NOT FUNNY!!!"
Videl blinked at the vehemence present in the words.
"Geez… No need to be so feisty! I'm just teasing you!"
Chibi shot another glare at Videl before continue to sort through the multitude of dresses.
"Hey Videl!" This time the call came from Erasa. "What do you think of this one?" The blonde girl held up a baby blue gown.
Videl considered it for a moment before shaking her head.
"No, I don't think that the yellow and orange floral pattern looks very good on that color of blue."
Erasa sighed and replaced the dress. This was going to take awhile.
***A half hour later***
"Hey Chibi! How do you think this one looks on me?"
Chibi looked Erasa up and down. The blonde girl had on a rather nice looking red dress with a very low neckline, spaghetti straps, and a very short skirt.
"Not bad at all! In fact, I think that it looks very good on you!"
Videl snorted. "Yeah, you look like a whore with that neckline and skirt."
Erasa glared daggers at her friend. "Gee thanks Videl! That's really what I want to hear!"
"Hey! Calm down! I'm just warning you, Sharpener will have a field day!"
Erasa pouted for a minute, then slipped out of the dress, returning to her search.
With a sigh, Chibi turned around to go through some accessories. This would take awhile.
*** Another half hour***
"I FOUND it! This is the most perfect dress EVER! I just KNOW that this one will be the right one!"
Videl rolled her eyes at the excited blonde. "That's what you said about the LAST one."
"But this time I'm SURE!"
Videl shook her head and returned to her halfhearted search.
When Erasa immerged for inspection, even Videl had to compliment her. Looked like she'd been right!
***Yet another half hour***
All three girls were now focused on the search for Videl's dress. Erasa had chosen already, and Chibi claimed to already have a dress… Not that she would have fit into any of these dresses anyways…
"How bout this one Videl?" Chibi held up a nice cream-colored satin gown.
"Ugh! I'm not here for a wedding gown!"
"Say, this one's nice Videl!" Videl gagged at the tacky purple flowers.
"No way!"
"I know that you'll like this one!" A risqué green dress was held aloft.
"Um… I'm not sure that daddy would be happy with me all dressed up like a ten-cent whore."
With a sigh the two girls dove back into the dresses, the number of rejected dresses amounting higher and higher.
*** An hour later***
"This one?" "No." "This one?" "Nope." "This one?" "Hmmm… that would be… No." "This one?" "Oh no" "THIS one?" "Try again." "This one?" "No." "This one?" "HELL no!" "This one?" "Go fish"
***Another half hour***
"Come ON Videl! We still have to get into this stuff, do our makeup, do our hair AND be ready for dinner at 7:00! If we take too much longer we'll be late!"
"Fine…"
With that, Videl walked up to the rack and randomly picked a dress.
"There. Now lets go." She stormed out without another word.
Erasa and Chibi sweatdropped and stared at the retreating figure. So that was all it took?
Running to catch up they headed towards the counter.
"Videl! If that's all you were going to do in the first place… Why didn't you just do it when we first got started?! Now we only have two hours to get ready!"
Videl shrugged nonchalantly. "The way I figure it… We'd already gone through over 9/10 of the dresses- there were only so many left, that if I had to choose one, it might as well be this one."
Erasa was shocked, but Chibi just began to laugh. When Erasa turned to glare at her Chibi smirked.
"Come on, you have to admit that it DOES have a certain insane logic to it!"
Erasa smiled in spite of herself.
The girls purchased the two dresses and some nice accessories that Chibi had found then left the store.
"Soooo… Where do we go to get ready?" Erasa asked, looking from one to the other. "NOT Videl's house, she doesn't have ANY girl stuff."
Videl stuck her tongue out at Erasa in reply. "Well, not at ERASA'S house, I don't think I could stand two hours of her sisters' gossip and her brothers' teasing."
"Well, that leaves my place! I even have a friend who'll be MORE than happy to help us get ready."
With that decided, the three teens climbed into Videl's copter and Chibi took the controls.
"Um, Chibi-chan… Do you know what you're doing?"
"Of COURSE Videl! I've flown before!" ^Granted, that was of my own power, but still… I can manage this… I hope…^
A/N: You know, I really AM sorry that I took so long with this… I'll have the next chapter out WAY sooner, promise! *grins* I have a three day weekend, so I'll have enough time!
T-chan; As long as her bitchy older brother stays off for more than three seconds.
*sighs* so true, so true… And that's also resting on whether or not I can keep my younger brother off as well. Oh well, I promise to do my best, and I WILL use my ^chopsticks^ On my bros if they wont comply.
T-chan; ^chopsticks^ might be a little more effedtive then what you used this time.
What!? I thought it worked very effectively! I'm ON aren't I?!
T-chan; Well, I don't think beating your older brother over the head with a spoon was the best idea.
*pouts*
T-chan; Although the look on your face when he called you a Crazy Bitch, then proceeded to swear up a storm…
*grins* At least I accomplished my purpose! He got banned from the computer for 24 hours!
T-chan; Serves the bastard right for calling me an annoying banshee.
Of course Tessa. Whatever you say. Anyhoo, Don't just stand there reading this… REVIEW!!! (please?) ^__________^
~Luv, ^chopsticks^ and HOT ANIME GUYS TO ALL!!!~
(But Vegeta is mine and Mirai Trunks is T-chan's, so you'll have to pick some others^^)
